Chapter 1643: Chapter 872: Approaching Storm (Part 3)

He Jinqiu and Qing Chen both had a resolute look on their faces; if this military base isn’t destroyed, the Eastern Continent will forever be under the shadow of nuclear threat.

"How about we go hunting?" Lao Shiyi suddenly suggested in the command room, "Heading back to Silver City this early is so boring; let’s catch some game!"

Bolton complained, "Dragging on during the return trip, now you’re finding excuses not to go back to Silver City. The floating airship my wife sent to Silver City has arrived, and yet we’re not there! You just want to buy time to poach people before reaching Silver City!"

Lao Shiyi smiled slyly, "So what if I do? What are you going to do, jump off?"

Marquis Bolton glanced at the ground through the window and then shrunk his neck, "Let’s go hunting!"

He Jinqiu typed a message to Qing Chen on his phone: I looked at the map; it’s only 230 kilometers from here to the military base. At our speed, we can reach it within a day. After landing, let’s go hunting with Lao Shiyi and then quickly break away from the group.

Qing Chen stared at the map on the holographic sand table, lost in thought.

On the holographic map, the ground beyond 230 kilometers was flat, with nothing there.

But he knew that the Empire’s top military base was there.

However, Qing Chen felt some inexplicable apprehension in his heart.

After a moment of contemplation, he typed back: "We’ll move once the hunt starts."

Airship number eleven slowly descended to the ground.

Lao Shiyi changed into a combat uniform and unloaded dozens of all-terrain motorcycles from the airship. The three huge wheels of the motorcycles looked like giant’s feet, providing formidable grip.

Lao Shiyi laughed, "How about we make a bet? If I catch more prey than you, let me have the housekeeper."

Bolton was furious, "That’s nonsense! You have over three hundred soldiers with you; how can I compete with that? Besides, he’s a free man, not my slave; why should I use him as collateral?"

Lao Shiyi sneered, "Coward."

With that, he twisted the throttle and sped off, the huge tires kicking up dust and leaving Bolton covered in it.

Bolton sat dazed on the motorcycle, confused on how to start it: "Housekeeper, housekeeper! How do you operate this? I twisted the throttle and nothing happened! Eh? Where’s the housekeeper?"

Turning his head, Bolton realized He Jinqiu and Qing Chen had already ridden their mountain motorcycles far off, leaving him only able to watch their backs as they gradually distanced.

"Probably doesn’t want to see me lose to that Black Knight, maybe went to help me hunt," Marquis Bolton mused forlornly...

But strangely, from morning till dusk, Qing Chen and He Jinqiu never reappeared.

Lao Shiyi returned with hundreds of prey, naked top and carrying a wild boar king on his shoulder, with blood stains on him.

Seeing this fierce scene, Bolton was nervous, realizing that with He and the housekeeper gone, the other party could kill him and dump his body in the wilderness without anyone knowing.

Nervous, he said, "He and the housekeeper will be back soon, so don’t act rashly..."

Lao Shiyi chuckled, "Can’t even lie properly."

Bolton Marquis, timidly asked, "Did you see them while hunting?"

"No, but I know what happened," Lao Shiyi shook his head, "Relax, we’ll just wait here for two days. Whether we’ll see them again, I can’t say."

Bolton was taken aback, what happened that he didn’t know?

At that moment, Lao Shiyi instructed the soldiers, "Take Marquis Bolton to the airship, confiscate his phone and all electronic devices, don’t let him leave, don’t let him have a chance to contact the Fifth Princess!"

Bolton was shocked; this Lao Shiyi was far less amicable than imagined!

"What are you doing?" Bolton shouted as he was dragged into the airship, "Are you scheming something? My wife won’t let you off easily!"

Under the sunset, Lao Shiyi sat sideways on a motorcycle and lit a cigarette.

He looked towards the Empire’s top military base, lost in thoughts.

A dense cloud drifted over the sky, completely covering the sunset.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

Raindrops fell to the ground, stirring up the earthy smell.
