C59 Undercurrent
The entire island was like a huge city, with dense cannons in all directions, which could easily repel the enemy because of its special geographical location. There was no need to worry about the terrifying zombies on land.
Ships and submarines docked from time to time to transport resources and weapons. It was very lively and bustling.
In the center of the island, there was a huge fortress made of white marble. There were cannons in all four corners of the fortress, and a few huge flags with the seal of a sea lion on them fluttered in the wind. It looked very domineering.
"This Hailan family is really powerful!"
This was the first time Lee Liang had seen a human stronghold built above the ground because he was afraid of the zombies' attacks. The places he had been to before were all built underground. Furthermore, it was very hidden, even though this place had a geographical advantage. But without the support of a powerful force, it would be impossible to build a city so brazenly.
The three of them followed the Harland Dog to the top floor of the fortress.
From here, they could overlook the entire island, as if everything was under their control.
"All of you, behave!" The Harland Dog said softly, then quickly ran in to report. A few minutes later, it respectfully left.
"The Lord of the Castle wants to see you. Remember, there are surveillance cameras and defense everywhere. As long as the Lord of the Castle says a word, you will be blown into pieces. Don't give me any trouble!"
The Harland Dog led the way in front of them, warning them as he spoke.
A tall, middle-aged man with a full beard sat in the middle of the room with a gloomy expression. When he saw the crowd enter, he only looked at them contemptuously without saying anything.
"Lord, they were the ones who drove Young Master Xiong's submarine back."
The Harland Dog said with a bow and a bow.
"Miss Bai, why didn't my son come back?"
Hailan De's expression was unfriendly.
"You mean Hailan Xiong? He's still handling matters in our trading company, saying that he wants to find some important information." Bai Muyao's face was calm as she replied directly. She unintentionally mentioned that Hailan Xiong's mission for this trip had not been completed yet. So she did not come back.
"Oh, is that so?" Hailan De snorted coldly and stared at Bai Muyao and Lee Liang.
Both parties were silent.
"Our trading company was attacked by the Black Claw. Bai Lengjun and Hailan Xiong are currently dealing with it. Let us escape to your place first." Bai Muyao saw that Hailan De did not believe her, so she continued to speak.
"Black Claw? Looks like there are a lot of people who want that thing." Hailan De said lazily and thought for a while. He did not know whether Bai Muyao would believe him or not. "You guys go and rest first. I will send someone to help Xiong'er."
"Thank you."
After Bai Muyao gave a simple thanks, the three of them were taken away by the Hai Lan Dog.
After the crowd went far away, Hailan De stood up. With a raise of his hand, countless miniature cannons suddenly appeared around him. There were also various precise weapons floating in the air. Red dots of light gathered where the three of them were standing. He only waited for his command, but he waved his hand again. All the weapons withdrew.
It was as if they had never appeared before.
"Did the detectors we sent out find Xiong'er's body?" Hailan De suddenly asked.
"No news yet, but we can be sure that the stronghold of Bai's Trading Company has been razed to the ground and ashes are everywhere." A black shadow suddenly appeared in the darkest corner of the room and bowed.
"Continue searching!" Hailan De gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about the death of a son, but they must be buried with my son!"
The other party was silent.
"What's the situation with those people?"
Hailan De suddenly asked.
"They are all very honest and didn't take any action." The black shadow answered hastily.1
"Continue to monitor. I want to see who can stir up trouble this time!"
Lee Liang and the other two were arranged to stay in a relatively remote place in the fortress by the Hai Lan Dog. Because of Bai Muyao, they were treated fairly well. They had their own small courtyard.
"You can lie to him once, but you can't lie to him twice. He will know sooner or later that Hailan Xiong is dead!" Lee Liang said worriedly. Hailan De was not an easy person to lie to. Or rather, he was not someone who would let go of the matter after knowing that he had been deceived.
"I have already sent a message to my father, asking him to come and save us. Now, it's a race against time. Let's see if he can make it in time." Bai Muyao's face was somewhat pale, as if all her confidence had been drained.
"Maybe he has other concerns. His son, the father of the bear, is a bastard. His son is like that. How can he be a good person?" Lee Liang joked.
His words made Bai Muyao laugh.
"Che, ask them to come over. I will beat them until they beg for mercy!" Red Lotus said carelessly. At the same time, she kept eating her snacks.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A series of loud noises came from the sky.
Everything outside the courtyard was covered by a huge shadow.
Lee Liang walked to the courtyard and looked up. A huge spaceship had flown to the top of the fortress.
The spaceship was the size of a cruise ship. There were four symmetrical engines on both sides of the spaceship that were spraying flames, pushing the spaceship forward and keeping it suspended in the air.
On both sides of the bow of the spaceship, there were symmetrical white clouds.
The hurricane created by the flames blew up many things in the castle, and the whole castle fell into chaos.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Four loud sounds were heard. Four rays of light were shot out from the four directions of the castle at the same time. They gathered at one point in the air and then refracted countless rays of light. A hemispherical light screen appeared above the entire fortress.
The appearance of the light screen directly offset the impact of the hurricane and everything returned to normal.
"Is your father here?"
Lee Liang asked curiously, but there was no sign of the Bai's Trading Company on the ship.
Bai Muyao shook her head and said, "Not so fast. If I am not wrong, this flying ship should belong to the Sky City."
"Sky City?" Lee Liang did not have any impression of this unfamiliar word.
"That is a castle floating in the air. I have never been there before. I only heard from my father that it is the entire Eastern Warzone. The human civilization is the most intact place, but they never come into contact with other city-states. They never make any deals, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. They are very powerful and mysterious. " Bai Muyao tried her best to recall.
She looked at the spaceship again. After stopping in the air for a while, as if it had obtained some kind of permission, it slowly descended. Finally, it landed at a port in the north of Golden Fortress. That place had already been vacated ahead of time. It was to make it easier for the arrival of this spaceship.
"The people of Sky City actually appeared here. It seems like there are many things that we don't know about here!" Bai Muyao thought for a while and said with some excitement.
"It seems like Hailan Xiong's purpose in coming to Bai's Trading Company is to obtain the information about the Corpse Transformation Cultivator," Lee Liang continued. What happened before and after was definitely not a coincidence. Something big was about to happen here!
