I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 14 On the airship
  Paradise City covers a huge area, with a population of more than 2000 million, self-sufficient supply and demand capabilities, top-notch combat capabilities, etc. This city-state is one of the best metropolises in the entire world.

However, just a few dozen kilometers away from the city-state, you will be surrounded by wasteland and ruins.

At that time, few people knew how the world collapsed, but what everyone knew was that the radiation left by nuclear weapons, the increasingly severe environment, and the opened cavities in the earth's crust were all factors that created the true overlord of the entire world.

Endless crazy beasts.

Crazy beasts roam the earth. They are the cruelest hunters, and countless people who have survived have been killed in their mouths.

If the wandering and aggressive nature of the crazy beasts hadn't become much weaker over the past hundred years, humans might have been able to hide in a corner and linger on.

Thirty kilometers south of the city outskirts, sporadic crazy beasts have begun to roam here, but for big forces, they can come and go freely here.

In the sky, the iron-blue evil dome has been shrouded all year round, but under this shadow, the steel giant is slowly floating towards them.

Due to the existence of the Evil Dome, electronic communication technology has basically become obsolete, and coupled with the rare but terrifying flying-type crazy beasts, aircraft have become a luxury for mankind.

Even the [Academy] can only build bulky airships. The 300-meter-long flying behemoth is already mankind's greatest glory in the sky.

There was a huge gurgling sound like water bubbles in the air, and the airship slowly stopped above.

"Senior, I saw someone." The observer sent a message.

In a collapsed ruin not far away, a girl with white hair and reddish hair was taking back the war blade in her hand. A terrifying monster that looked like a saber-toothed tiger and was covered in sarcoma fell into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Luo Xi looked at the sky, she pulled the rope in her hand, and Sean, whose hands were bound, staggered out from the side.

The height of the airship slowly decreased, and then a hanging platform lowered.

The [Academy] team dispersed to investigate, and Qiong Ying and Lu Xin led them to Luo Xi.

"Miss Luo Xi, [College] will be grateful for your help." Qiong Ying just wanted to end this transaction quickly, but she always felt that something was not right.

Luo Xi looked up at the airship that was covering the sky. She pulled the livid Sean to her side and said calmly: "You're welcome, this is a deal. This airship is mine now, right?" ?”

The injured Lu Xin looked unhappy. He first glanced at Sean with a vicious and impatient look, and then looked at Luo Xi: "It's a loan, Miss Luo Xi. Give him to us, and the right to use the airship will be temporarily restored to us." you."

"Okay -" Luo Xi pulled Sean again, "Go to the airship and demonstrate it to me, and then he will be yours."

Qiong Ying and Lu Xin looked at each other and finally nodded.

The other party's request is not excessive.

Boarding the airship, this steel behemoth has a huge internal space and is heavily guarded everywhere.

Arriving at the cab, Qiong Ying ordered: "Drive back to Paradise City."

"Wait-" Luo Xi interrupted.

Qiong Ying turned around and said, "Miss Luo Xi?"

"Just demonstrate here," Luo Xi glanced at the surrounding dashboards and operators, "driving outwards. After I learned how, you guys took him away and I drove away the airship."

Qiong Ying showed a troubled look: "Well, Miss Luo Xi, the airship is the crystallization of the [Academy's] technology, and its value is immeasurable. Moreover, piloting an airship cannot be learned by just watching it. Pilot training requires at least a year. "

Luo Xi had no intention of relenting: "I don't trust your people to pilot it. It was stated in the initial transaction that Sean will be replaced by an airship, and I don't need additional pilots."

Qiong Ying frowned and said: "However, novice pilots of airships may also face crazy flying beasts. The chance of crashing is too great. The technological crystallization of [Academy] cannot take such risks."

At this time, Lu Xin, who was impatient with waiting, rushed to say: "Miss Luo Xi, how about we demonstrate how the airship operates and then leave a team of crew members for you?"

An anxious look flashed through Qiong Ying's eyes under her glasses. Is this guy crazy?

The value of the airship is inestimable, so just lend it to an outsider?
  Lu Xin glanced at his companion and smiled at Luo Xi: "I think Miss Luo Xi is not the kind of person to fly away with an airship. You need this thing to save your people."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiong Ying secretly said something bad, and Luo Xi's eyes instantly became cold. The unstable energy field caused the air to vibrate slightly.

"Your Excellency, how do you know about my people?"

Qiong Ying cursed in her heart. Their information came from another member of the Hongchao tribe, but they never mentioned it in the deal with Luo Xi... this idiot!
  She immediately said in a deep voice: "Miss Luo Xi, please forgive [the academy] for being presumptuous, but the matter is of great importance and we need to investigate the background of the collaborator."

Denial is useless, it is better to admit it in the hope that the other party can understand.

Luo Xi's eyes were still cold: "Is this [the academy]'s sincerity?"

"Miss Luo Xi, please believe-"

Just when a conflict was about to break out in the cab, a slight strange muttering sounded from the ventilation system control room located at the rear of the airship.

The staff member was waving the small toys in his hands out of boredom. Basically no one cared about this position, and there was usually no work.

To be precise, after the airship was built, it never traveled far at all...

He didn't notice that a hand suddenly appeared in the corner, and that hand was holding a tight-fitting leather bag.

……

In the cab, with Qiong Ying's constant explanations, the tense atmosphere finally eased.

Sean, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed a smile.

"It seems that you are not very harmonious internally." He said with a smile.

Before anyone else could speak, Luo Xi took the lead with a cold look. She reached out and flicked an iron half-face mask onto Sean's face, sealing his mouth and nose.

She turned her head and said coldly: "He originally proposed better terms to me, but now I have proven my sincerity."

Qiong Ying and Lu Xin looked at each other. After noticing each other's eyes, Qiong Ying finally sighed.

"Thank you for your trust and understanding, Miss Luo Xi."

She waved her hand: "Start the airship and demonstrate it to Miss Luo Xi first."

This is a display of compromise.

The steel behemoth moved forward slowly, its target was the uninhabited wasteland on the outskirts.

Lu Xin finally got the chance. He looked at Luo Xi and smiled: "Happy transaction, Miss Luo Xi."

"Yeah." The latter just nodded calmly.

The ignorant country bumpkin... Lu Xin's expression remained unchanged and he looked at Sean: "Then, can you let me interrogate this guy first - don't worry, I will never take away your trading items on the airship, and , our deal has been concluded, hasn’t it?”

Luo Xi hesitated again and again, and finally handed the rope to the other party.

Qiong Ying shook her head secretly. She couldn't stop him. This idiot was the lecturer's son after all...

However, although this guy is not very smart, he should still know the most basic importance. A beating, scolding and humiliation is enough to get some relief.

Lu Xin pulled the rope, and the resentment flashed across his face.

He kicked Sean mercilessly: "Mr. Sean, let's talk first."

The interrogation room door was closed tightly.
