Chapter 2268 The Wanted Kailan
Returning to the airship, I took out a world map, then hurried back and marked the exact location of the Wandering Gunner research base on the map. I roughly judged that one was set up in the waters near Moonlight City, and the other was set up in Hanoi, York.
If the research base near Moonlight City had not sunk to the bottom of the sea due to changes in the earth's crust, it would probably still be alive.
But it’s hard to say about the research base in Seoul.
The Celestial Clan people have the same appearance as the Human Clan. As long as the other party does not know their true identity, the Human Clan will only treat the Celestial Clan people as talented human geniuses.
If a Celestial Clan member who knows his identity happens to find the Roaming Gunner Research Base located inside York Han City, and even happens to get the key to open the research base, and successfully opens the research base. Then there are only two situations, one is the research base. Among them, the precious information and equipment were taken over by the senior officials of York and Han City, and the place was set as a forbidden area and heavily guarded and supervised. Secondly, everything in the research base was occupied and evacuated by the Sky Tribe, leaving only one worthless building. An empty shell at all.
If it was the first outcome, it would be easier to handle. Bai Yunying was Simmons Locke's most beloved grandniece. As long as she played the family card, she would be released in all likelihood.
I'm afraid it's the second result.
"You're a little too worried." Odachi's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Is there any?" I asked.
"Do you really think there are so many coincidences in the world? Without Ya Deyan's guidance, even if you spent half your life looking for it, you would never have thought that there would be a research base for the Celestial Clan on this island, and there would be two of them." Tai Dao sneered and said: "So, stop worrying about things unfounded, otherwise I will despise you."
"Whether it's rough or not, it's up to you."
In response, I put away the map and prepared to take Kailan and a group of Destroyers back to the airship.
Just at this moment, there was a tremor in my pocket. It was a call from Master Dewey. I quickly answered the call and heard Master Dewey say: "Xiao Yi, where are you?"
"An isolated island, about a hundred kilometers away from Airui City."
When Master Dewey heard this, his tone was a little irritable: "Well, what are you doing on an isolated island?"
I chuckled: "Find something."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, do you know where that girl Kailan is now?"
When I heard that he didn't chat with me, but mentioned Kailan, I suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
Master Dewey sighed and said: "You don't know something. The equipment enhancement machine made by that girl destroyed more than a dozen enchanted weapons in a row. Now, she is wanted by the whole country in Dashai City."
"Huh?" I was stunned by this explosive news.
On the side, Kailan was also shocked and overwhelmed. When she came to her senses, she snatched the communication crystal, swallowed, and said with a cry: "Father, I am innocent."
Master Dewey quickly comforted her and said, "It is precisely because I believe you are innocent that I contacted Xiaoyi immediately."
Kailan wiped the corners of his eyes, eyes red, and asked Master Dewey for help: "But what's the point of believing it, I'm wanted."
When I heard this, I was very displeased. I quickly grabbed the communication crystal and apologized to Master Dewey: "I'm sorry, foster father. Kailan was so impatient that he said something distasteful. I hope you can forgive me."
"Am I so narrow-minded? Do I have to have a hard time with my daughter-in-law?" Master Dewey said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "Xiaoyi, in the eyes of outsiders, we are righteous father and son, but in my eyes, we have always regarded each other as righteous father and son. You treat me like your own son, but why are you always so indifferent to me?"
Come on, it was self-defeating!
I didn't cry or laugh, and said in a dry tone: "It's my fault, foster father, please continue."
With that said, I put the call crystal into Kailan's little hand.
"Girl, please don't worry. Tell me what you know about the failure of the equipment strengthening machine to strengthen."
Kailan was so distraught at this time that he couldn't think of how to smooth out the thing. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Helpless, I took the crystal and told Master Dewey about her current situation.
After hearing this, Master Dewey also felt that this matter should not be rushed. Moreover, even if he asked about it and informed the world in time, it might not be effective in time. After all, there are not many people in Dashai City who believe in Master Dewey.
So I put this matter aside for the time being and will consider it later.
On the way back, Kailan was listless and looked distracted.
Although I know what she is worried about, this place is not the best place to resolve her worries. It would be better to get on the airship and think of a solution.
The magic airship stayed on the same spot as before. The uncle driver was lying on a stone basking in the sun. When he saw us coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Are you going back?"
I nodded and teased him: "Looking at you, you seem to be impatient."
"That's right!" The uncle driver slapped his thigh and said angrily: "In the past two days, the mechanical creatures have not stopped making sneak attacks. Every day I hear crackling and rumbling noises, and I can't sleep even if I want to. I guess, If it continues for another three to five days, it will force me to lose sleep."
"Thank you for your hard work." I patted his shoulder and said solemnly: "When I go back, I will definitely give you a salary increase."
"Hey, I will waive the salary increase and give me a few more days off. I want to spend time with my wife and children."
"No problem," I promised seriously, "I'll give you half a month's paid leave to spend time with your wife and children. After half a month, remember to come back to work on time, otherwise you will be considered absent from work."
"Your order!" The driver's uncle saluted happily and hurriedly boarded the cockpit.
After boarding the airship, we first observed the captured mechanical creatures. There were more than a dozen different types and twenty of them in total, which was enough for Master Dewey to study for a while.
After making sure that the cage was strong enough and would not be damaged, I rushed back to the room and saw Kailan looking wilted and lying on the bed in a daze.
"It's so pitiful, she's just like a lost lamb." I walked over with a smile, leaned over, and picked her up. Kailan didn't even have the intention of struggling, and just let me play with her like a rag doll.
Put her on the sofa, take out a bottle of wine and two crystal glasses from the refrigerator, pull out the corks, and the aroma of wine overflows, filling the room immediately.
Kailan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a bit of sparkle in her eyes. She sniffed and looked straight at the wine bottle.
After filling two glasses, one for her and one for me, before clinking the glasses, Kailan picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a cry and burst into tears.
I just cried for a long time without falling a single tear.
And those bright beautiful eyes glanced at me from time to time, and then looked at the empty cup.
I couldn't help but feel happy and filled her cup again: "People say that getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries. It's a good thing for you. You haven't even gotten drunk yet, so your worries will be relieved first."
