Chapter 106 Mercenaries in Heping City
The sailing speed in Yalong Bay is not fast. Even after being cleaned up, the maximum speed is only 10 kilometers per hour.

Zhou Yi calculated that even if he could return to Emerald City at the fastest speed, it would take 170 hours, a full 7 days.

Plus, you have to avoid various rapids and high-pressure areas, which will ultimately take longer.

Since there is no need to rush.

Zhou Yi sat patiently on the coast of the base, watching the snowy scenery of the Dead Sea in winter.

Yalong Bay rolled over the sea, and all the pirates along the way avoided it. The next day, I passed by and watched a naval battle. As a result, as soon as Yalong Bay approached, several pirate ships and the robbed fleet turned around and fled.

Most of the time, the scene at the Dead Sea is monotonous. Thornbirds occasionally fly by in the distance, light-sucking monsters turn into glowing ghosts in the fog, and lightning flashes always in the thick fog that lingers all year round at the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi lay on a chair under a large umbrella, basking in the warm winter sun: "With this size, even if it were a ship, it wouldn't be much faster."

Hong Shun said: "The larger the object, the stronger the resistance of the dead light. The advantages of large ships are carrying capacity and stability, and speed has never been the core of their pursuit. If a light print like "propulsion" is installed to increase speed, it will not only greatly increase consumption, but may also cause the entire light print structure system to be unbalanced, which is not worth the loss. "

Advance?

This gave Zhou Yi an idea.

He called the cornerman.

"You can push Snake Island forward in the Dead Sea, so can you push forward in Yalong Bay as well?"

The one-eyed horned man blinked and said, "Chairman, yes, it is possible. It is also a floating island, but it is very large, so we may not be able to increase its speed by much."

Zhou Yi asked it to take the victorious snakes to try.

Under the Red Falcon's camera, the victorious snakes soon gathered around the cave. They fixed their round heads on the edge, then straightened their bodies, and many victorious snakes like black stone pillars began to push against the submarine base together.

The speed in Yalong Bay has increased.

With the help of more than one hundred victorious snakes, the submarine base's maximum speed reached 15 kilometers per hour.

The speed increase is 50%.

Kakuto said: "This is almost the limit. If we want to improve further, we need more Shengshe. But it is better to split into two groups and take turns, so that we can rest and continue."

Zhou Yi keenly perceived the key.

"Jiaotou, if we switch to ships, you can bring more speed bonus, right?"

"Of course, Chairman."

The cornerman pushed the pier with his head and replied, "It's easy for us to push a boat."

"To be honest, the Black Pearl we formed before was flexible enough, but we just couldn't bring out everyone's true speed. Because there were too many of us, it was difficult to coordinate. Everyone was heading in different directions, and there would be a lot of internal loss of strength."

"In the past, we formed a fortress-like shape and basically remained motionless. That shape was the most stable."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "Change it to a boat, and you are only responsible for straight-line acceleration, that's all."

"Yes, yes, that's it, Chairman, that's what I mean. That's best, simple is best." said the cornerman.

Zhou Yixin said it was a wrong idea.

Previously, the Victory Snake was used in the wrong place.

They are all-natural Dead Sea accelerators, but they were asked to be tied together to become the Black Pearl, and they did not show their speed advantage at all.

Now there is another problem, there is no ship.

What is lacking is a proper ship with combat capability.

Zhou Yi entered the No. 3 cave again and found the St. Petersburg: "I want to hire you in advance. Your service period will be over by the end of winter, right? Why don't you come directly to our company?"

The mercenary submarine said, "Of course. There is usually a small holiday after the winter ends. I will take the time to do repairs and maintenance. However, if it is help between friends, there is no charge, but if it is real employment, my price is very expensive."

"Just follow the work."

Zhou Yi thought it was better to handle things in a fair and impartial manner, especially for combat units, where it would be easier to issue orders.

St. Petersburg said: "I work in two seasons a year. Winter is the busy season, the price is 4000 light species, and the rest is the off-season, the price is 1000 light species."

"Then I'll hire him for a year."

"you sure?"

Zhou Yi directly took out the light box: "Let's sign the cooperation agreement first."

When the two parties signed the electronic agreement, Zhou Yi learned that the St. Petersburg came from the mechanical and electrical city "Peace City" and was a registered mercenary there.

Kestrel gave a brief introduction to the city.

“The services provided by Peace City include hired defense, danger information reminders, urban area assessments, strategic consulting, etc.”

"Their information is expensive, but it is highly accurate and reliable. Some cities will also seek their consulting and evaluation services. However, to the outside world, Heping City is most famous for its high-quality mercenaries."

"Due to its industrial structure, Heping City has greater freedom than many mechanical and electrical cities, but they also follow certain principles of order. Employers select them, and they also screen employers. Their main business is to provide defense and security."

"The City of Peace will evaluate and score every mission of registered mercenaries, and rate employers. Regardless of whether they are employers or mercenaries, if they violate relevant rules, their credit rating will be lowered, or even blacklisted and no longer cooperated."

"Compared to other mercenary groups, Heping City's greatest advantages are credit and order."

This does not affect Zhou Yi.

He hired the St. Petersburg to fill the gap in maritime defense and ensure that Emerald City was in a stable and safe environment. St. Petersburg emphasized: "Every mercenary has his own rules, and I am no different."

"I refuse to attack civilians who are not members of the armed forces, nor participate in the destruction and destruction of life gathering places such as cities, and I do not accept credit or items in lieu of light seed payment."

"No problem." Zhou Yi agreed.

The identities of both parties have been verified by Heping City.

Zhou Yi saw that the St. Petersburg had completed more than 400 mercenary missions and was a genuine veteran mercenary, with his electronic ID card also displayed.

……

[Mercenary St. Petersburg]

Strength: B
Skill: C
Vitality: B+
Grade: B
Professional expertise: rescue, defense, interception, and long-range targeted blasting.

……

A professional combat unit with strong vitality that can hold on.

His skills don't seem to be the type that can do a lot of tricks, but he is powerful enough.

It still has remote blasting capabilities.

The St. Petersburg can form a linkage with the Emerald City, one attacking and one defending, and will no longer be pulled by the warships in the Dead Sea.

With submarine escort, the new year's seabed excavation and development work can be expanded to more distant areas. This is the most important resource development area, including sinter, amber, and various human heritages from pre-civilization times.

Zhou Yi felt that it was great value for money as he could buy all these for 5000 light seeds.

St. Petersburg was also a little surprised: "Credit rating B... Wasteland Development Company is not an ordinary organization. I have never heard of this name before. It's really strange."

It added: "Since it is an employment relationship, although I still have at least one month to serve, let me formally introduce myself."

"My skills are 'Deep Sea Bombing' and 'Invisibility'. Other data is not convenient to disclose. But as long as the enemy target is in the Dead Sea, leave it to me and I will handle it."

It was only after this experience that Zhou Yi realized that mercenaries kept their own statistics strictly confidential, which gave them greater destructive power and concealment on the battlefield.

Only fleets like the Knights of the Dead Sea that participate in large-scale battles will have their various parameters collected and intelligence obtained.

Then Zhou Yi let Jiaotou and St. Petersburg cooperate with each other. Shengshe stuck to the surface of the submarine in a line, and when it accelerated, Jiaotou also accelerated.

The effect is very good.

The mercenary submarine also exclaimed: "It has greatly improved my speed. The victory snake is really an amazing creature. It is worthy of being a fighting species. It is a perfect match for me."

Time passed quickly as Zhou Yi communicated with the St. Petersburg.

After five days of sailing, the submarine base finally arrived at the area where the Emerald City was located.

Yalong Bay finally chose to border the shore behind the hospital, with Emerald City on the left and right, protecting Maria Hospital in the center.

The residents were naturally curious about this huge new building, and they came to look around every day. They were also very interested in the light-absorbing monsters floating around the base, and began to set foot on this new land and explore everywhere.

……

Inside the second cave.

Zhou Yi said to the Skeleton Jacob: "This is the situation of the Poseidon. When you see it, can you remember anything else?"

The skeleton man seemed not to have heard anything. He walked slowly inside, climbed onto the submarine, walked to the back, and then stopped on a deck at the ship's position.

Jacob suddenly shuddered.

It seemed a little panicked and looked towards Zhou Yi: "Chairman, I feel... there is something inside... it is calling me, I feel I can open this place..."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Let's take a look."

With the St. Petersburg and the Yalong Bay base, there won't be any major problems.

The skeleton placed his dry palm on it, and the previously closed hatch suddenly opened automatically outwards. He looked around and crawled in along the escalator.

About three minutes passed.

The skeleton man Jacob crawled out in a daze and walked all the way to Zhou Yi.

It held a large piece of bone in its hand and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Yi reacted: "You have a connection with the Poseidon because the missing part of the skull is here?"

Jacob nodded.

"I just realized now that the incomplete memory is here, but..."

The skeleton looked back at Poseidon, "It's very strange in there. The skull remembers that there were supposed to be three more skeletons in there. We all lived in there before, along with Poseidon, but now they've all disappeared."

"The Poseidon didn't respond either."

"Something must have happened here before, but even with the skull, I can't remember it at all. That part of my memory is gone."

Jacob looked confused.
