Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 100 The Uncapturable Alien

Snap-pop-pop!

Qin Xie held a wooden racket in his hands and played singles cricket by hitting the ball at high speed with both forehand and backhand against the wall of the captain's room.

He awaited the return of the Ridgehunter.

Teddy Bear was lying on the armchair next to him, crossing his short legs. "Do you really think this idea will work?"

"I think I can try it."

Qin Xie received the ball with one hand, grabbed the kettle on the table and took a sip of water: "I just combined your method with my own way."

"The Seventh Fleet survey team, which I represent, and the Wasteland Development Corporation, a professional organization that studies aliens, jointly issued a statement declaring that there are no safety risks in the Crescent Teeth."

"Among them, our Seventh Fleet judged from the perspective of ships and navigation, and believed that its existence did not affect the normal navigation of surrounding ships. This is the fact. If the "Crescent Tooth" had some kind of tendency towards ships, our ships would have been attacked long ago."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel. "The Wasteland Development Company owns and operates the Dead Sea alien Emerald City. The employees sent by the company have demonstrated that the Crescent Teeth will not harm normal life. Their courage to recycle the Crescent Teeth is enough to prove this point."

The stuffed bear sat up. "So you want to get them to guarantee each other? But do you really think they can get this thing away?"

"Who knows?"

Qin Xie said: "But we have no losses."

"Their people here will signal the surrounding fleets that the recovery is still going on, just like soldiers on a city wall, they can calm people's hearts. The Seventh Fleet can't station warships here permanently. Not only is the cost too high, but there is a shortage of manpower everywhere in this season, and there are many conflicts in the Dead Sea."

"If Zhou Yi is really that powerful and can take this alien away, then I am doing him a favor and going along with it."

The young captain smiled slightly: "The most important thing is that my report can be completed. Bringing in the Wasteland Development Company proves that I have made enough efforts to try."

"No buddy, didn't you say you wanted to solve the problem?" Teddy sneered.

"I want to, but I don't have the ability to do it."

Qin Xie sat on another chair: "I can only use three warships and two supply ships. Do you think this lineup can deal with "Crescent Tooth"? "

Teddy jumped onto the table and said, "Didn't they say that the Dead Sea Alien is invaluable and all the knights are vying for it? Why is the Seventh Fleet completely indifferent? It seems more like they are just pretending to do something?"

“You have to be able to catch it.”

Qin Xie smiled bitterly: "Teddy, "Crescent Tooth" is not some unknown guy."

"About 11 years ago, the Mechanical Knights tried to capture it. They mobilized an entire fleet and asked two sea lords to send troops, and secretly blocked the surrounding waters."

"Their method is simple and direct. They use continuous armor-piercing bombardment and attacks to weaken its energy and life, allowing the alien to return to its most instinctive primitive state of hunger. Then they use light seeds and energy packs to lead it all the way to land, and then lock and place it."

"When it was under siege, it suddenly released a death ray cannon with A-class strength, sinking all four B-class ships and 4 C-class ships of the Mechanical Knights' fleet on the spot..."

"To attack Crescent Teeth is equivalent to facing a top sea lord, or even Skywalker. But the news is highly confidential, and not many people know about it. Even though it looks stable and gentle now, if we fight, we will be successful if our ships can escape from here."

Qin Xie looked helpless.

The teddy bear hissed, "Who on earth is this guy..."

"Who knows?"

Qin Xie continued to play cricket against the wall: "There is a rumor among the Mechanical Knights that the "Crescent Tooth" will hunt high-level ship-related electromechanical life. It is very picky and has no interest in ordinary ships."

"It seems that the Wasteland Development Company is doomed to fail."

Teddy put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth on the table: "But what is "Crescent" doing?"

Qin Xie slapped back and forth quickly: "How should I know?"

The ship suddenly shook violently, and a voice came from the megaphone: "Captain, "Crescent Tooth" is fighting with a mechatronic life!"

Qin Xie immediately ran straight to the observation deck.

Through the optical printing equipment here, he saw something swimming in the sea of fog, seemingly dealing with and confronting the "Crescent Moon".

The thing was quite large, like some kind of columnar or spindle-shaped electromechanical life. Its thick fin-shaped head protruded from the Dead Sea, as if observing the surroundings.

After a moment of stalemate, Mechanical and Electrical Life couldn't help but take the lead in attacking.

It released beams of light and launched indiscriminate long-range bombardment on the surroundings, and even the aftermath hit the outer fleet.

This is useless for the "crescent moon".

Its attacks were completely ineffective against the aliens, as if some higher-level power was restraining it, causing the electromechanical life in the sea to attack frantically, but unable to aim its guns at the real enemy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the electromechanical lifeform began to flee desperately, but like a fish entangled by an invisible line, it could only move at high speed around the "crescent tooth", and then was tightened little by little, and finally was sucked into the bloody mouth.

This scene suddenly enlightened Qin Xie.

The Crescent stayed here because it was targeting this guy. It should be under this Dead Sea. Finally, there is material for the report!

After the storm subsided, he discovered that the victorious snakes were still on the "crescent". They formed a black fortress and looked like they were prepared to stay there for a long time. Even the previous war of that magnitude could not drive them away.

Qin Xie couldn't help but become more curious.

How did the chairman Zhou Yi make the unruly and brave Sheng Snakes so obedient?

……

After listening to Lie Hai's report, Zhou Yi's first reaction was that it was a trick.

He asked Hong Jian: "Is it possible that this is a trap set by the Seventh Fleet?"

Because it sounds really outrageous.

Qin Xie, the captain of the Seventh Fleet, actually welcomed him to come and retrieve the alien, and was willing to work with him to move it out of the sea area. He also said that the purpose was to keep the sea route open and avoid affecting the trade routes on the Dead Sea.

After all, he had sunk their ship, the Organ, before.

Hong Jian said: "I can't comment on people's problems."

So Zhou Yi called in the staff officer Qian Su.

"I know him."

The young weapon dealer's eyes lit up: "Qin Xie is not an ordinary person either, his family has a strong background."

"His father, Qin Qiang, is a high-ranking member of the Knights of the Mechanical Order, and his uncle is Yan Zibing, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Knights of the Dead Sea. This is the news among our small circle of weapons dealers."

"He Ju is not in the same group as him, so it's unlikely that he will be persuaded. Ji Chang can't really use Qin Xie. Qin Xie is not very old, but he has always been low-key and restrained. He is being trained as the successor of the family."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

There are two large groups of knights standing behind him, and it turns out that he is a background guy.

In the fleet organization, the captain is the commander of each warship. In the Seventh Fleet, except for the commander, deputy commander, and chief of staff, the four captains of the B-class heavy cruisers have the highest status.

Although Qin Xie is young, he is already a powerful figure in the Seventh Fleet.

"Although I'm not sure why he invited you, I think it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Qian Su explained: "Qin Xie brought five ships with him, obviously carrying out the Seventh Fleet's mission. This is completely different from the private transfer that He Jue made before. It represents the official order of the Seventh Fleet, or Commander Feng."

"The southern region you mentioned is 1700 kilometers away from here, which means it's very close to Coral Mouth."

"It is a very important trade port. Many goods are transferred from Coral Mouth and then sent to various places. The Dead Sea Knights are responsible for maintaining order in the waters near Coral Mouth, which is also an important part of their income."

"That area belongs to the jurisdiction of the Seventh Fleet."

"Rather than fighting for power, the Knights actually care more about the attitude of their financial backers. Sinking a ship or losing a battle is just a side issue. There is no undefeated general in the world. But if important clients leave and choose other rivals, then the back and forth may cause serious damage."

Qiansu analyzed Qin Xie's behavior from a businessman's perspective and believed that the Dead Sea Knights were anxious to appease the merchants and reduce the panic caused by the alien infestation over there, so they sent a captain like Qin Xie, who had both excellent status and strength, to deal with it.

In other words.

Qin Xie did want to cooperate with the Wasteland Development Company, using the company's existing name of Emerald City and its ability to restrain and manage aliens to do public relations.

"If he and your company issue a joint statement, it would be equivalent to an endorsement from both sides to the outside world."

Qian Su analyzed, "The advantage is that after this, the Seventh Fleet will have an open cooperative relationship with your company. The previous ones are insignificant in the face of important interests, and it can also be used as an opportunity to promote the Emerald City of the Wasteland Development Company."

"The downside is that if something goes wrong there, and the aliens injure people or cause a large number of casualties, the Wasteland Development Company will also be tied up with the Seventh Fleet and become the object of suspicion, and its credit will be damaged... The most serious result is that the credit rating of the Mechanical and Electrical City will be reduced."

Zhou Yi thought about it.

In this case, it is not impossible to make a joint statement with Qin Xie.

However, I have to try to recruit this architectural life anyway.

It is better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Go and negotiate the price in person.

Zhou Yi was not worried about safety issues.

The biggest threat to him was the warships led by Qin Xie. C-class weapons couldn't break his defense, but B-class weapons were enough, but not lethal. His health was high enough, so he had enough time to enter the Dead Sea.

Once you reach the bottom of the sea, that’s your comfort zone.

Zhou Yi immediately sat on Lie Hai's back and flew towards the destination with Hong Jian.
