Night of apocalypse

The result was no surprise. Not long after Shen Qiu and the others entered, they were blocked by dozens of people.

Shen Qiu looked back and saw a large group of people emerging from behind.

For a time, Shen Qiu and the others were trapped.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Qiu asked calmly.

At this time, a man with dyed yellow hair, tattoos on his neck and arms, and a very arrogant expression came out and said.

"This is the right thing for us to ask you, little sheep!"

"You're not trying to rob us, are you?"

Shen Qiu looked at them with a strange expression.

"Stop talking nonsense, dig out everything on your body, put your head in your hands and squat down, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

The leading man threatened directly.

"What if we don't?"

Shen Qiu replied helplessly.

"Brother Tuduo, if you want to talk nonsense to them, first cripple one of their hands."

The younger brothers present drew their weapons and looked at Shen Qiu and others with evil smiles.

Facing the unkind people, Shen Qiu replied with a very strange expression.

"Did you make a mistake? This is the City of Stars. Robbery and violence here will face very severe punishment."

"Haha! You are really naive. This is our territory. Do you think the City of Stars can know?"

Tuduo seemed to have heard something very ridiculous.

The younger brothers present laughed loudly, as if they were looking at fools.

Shen Qiu looked at them very calmly and said.

"Yeah?"

He finally saw that these people were not ordinary gangsters at all. Normal gangsters had finally moved into the City of Stars, but they didn't have the guts.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, come with me!"

Tuduo saw that Shen Qiu and the others showed no signs of compromise, and immediately they did not intend to be polite.

Just as he was taking his younger brother up, Shen Qiu took out Mapesa's business card from his pocket and showed it to him.

Tuduo's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately spread his hands to stop his younger brother.

"stop!"

The younger brother present was slightly startled and looked at Tuduo in confusion.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Tuduo ignored them and walked up to Shen Qiu, looked at the business card in Shen Qiu's hand carefully, and stared at Shen Qiu.

"Why do you have Lady Mapesa's business card?"

"I am her friend and will take us to meet her."

Shen Qiu said straight to the point.

Tuduo hesitated for a while, but finally said.

"No problem, come with me, but you'd better not play tricks on me, otherwise you will die when you see Lady Mapesha."

"rest assured."

Shen Qiu replied calmly.

Tuduo then waved his hand and led Shen Qiu and the others towards the Huika Community Center.

Huika Community Center·Inside a pigeon building.

The narrow suite is connected by another suite, and it is in a fairly spacious conference room.

Mapesha was seen sitting on a sofa chair, one foot straddling the other, holding a cigarette in her hand. Behind her stood a group of subordinates. She looked at the people in front of her coldly.

In front of Mapesa, three guys with bad intentions were sitting. The one on the far left was Baicatu. Although the Gray Scorpion Legion he commanded suffered frequent losses in the early days, as his immediate boss Amirang fought in Qianyin Kingdom, After his death, he took over the reorganization of his remaining subordinates. After a period of forbearance and development, he successfully entered the upper echelons of the Gray Alliance.

Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man with bruises and scars on his face, wearing a fur coat and various gemstone rings on his hands.

This man is called Beaks. He is the warlord giant of the Gray Alliance. Many people secretly call him the third in command behind their backs.

Sitting on the far right is a fat woman who weighs more than 300 pounds, has an afro, and has a mean look. This woman is called Anman, and her identity is the leader of the Skunk Corps.

Bix took a puff of his cigar, looked at Mapesa contemptuously and said.

"Mapesha, I don't know why Master Gillavi allocated so much territory to you, but don't you think it's a bit much?"

"Bix, if you have any objections, you can go to Commander Gillavy. There is no need to tell me here."

Mapesha replied nonchalantly.

Bang~

Anman slapped his hand on the table and stared at Mapesha with his round eyes that seemed to bulge out.

"Mapesha, don't pretend here. Aren't you just relying on those dirty tricks to confuse Master Gillavi? If there is anything to tease, you should quickly carve out some territory if you are interested."

"Why, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Mapesha replied coldly.

Bix spoke at this moment.

"It's not that we think you're easy to bully, it's just that it's too unfair. When you were taken to prison by the Red Alliance, the Gray Alliance spent a lot of money to redeem you. Later, when the Gray Alliance settled in the City of Stars, everyone paid You spent a lot of money, but you ended up getting such a large piece of land without spending anything. Do you think it’s appropriate?”

"Lord Bix is ​​right, this is so unfair."

Baikatu echoed.

"What if I don't give it."

Mapesa replied coldly that although she had allocated a lot of real estate, there were so many people under her to accommodate that it was simply not enough.

How could she hand it over so easily, and once she gave in, with the Gray Alliance's habit of preying on the weak, the trouble would really begin.

To put it bluntly, this group of people were confident that they would be arrested for a long time and their power and strength would be weakened, so they dared to be so confident.

"That's not up to you!"

What Anman said was very unpleasant.

At this moment, Tudor hurriedly walked into the conference room and reported to Mapesha.

"Lady Mapesha, we have a visitor!"

Mapesha was also a little surprised.

At this time, Anman's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce look, he turned to look at Tuduo and cursed loudly.

"Didn't you see us discussing things? Let that person go!"

Tuduo's face was full of anger, but he didn't dare to talk back.

"Who is so loud?"

At this time, Shen Qiu walked in with Yun Xiaoxi and others and said calmly.

Although Shen Qiu was wearing a mask, when Baicatu heard Shen Qiu's voice, he stood up instinctively and looked directly at him.

As for Mapesa, she smiled brightly when she saw Shen Qiu.

"How did you come."

"I have something to do with you, but your place seems very lively. Did you come at the wrong time?"

"how could be."

Mapesa said with a bright smile.

"Who are you?"

Bix frowned and stared at Shen Qiu as he asked. The man in front of him gave him an opaque feeling, while his companion behind him gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Before Shen Qiu could answer, Baicatu said with a tense face.

"He is Shen Qiu."

"Baikatu said goodbye last time, long time no see."

Shen Qiu looked at Baicatu in surprise.

When Bix and others heard Baicatu's words, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat and they reacted suddenly.

"Are you the third star envoy Shen Qiu?"

"Yes."

Shen Qiu admitted it openly.

Mapesa's mind moved, and she deliberately got very close to Shen Qiu, pretending to be very intimate, and said to Bix and others.

"You three, do you want to continue talking?"

Shen Qiu frowned slightly. He knew that Mapesha was pretending to be powerful, but he did not refute.

"A bitch is a bitch, she really knows how to find a backer for herself!"

Aman sneered angrily.

"That's better than you. With your figure, no one would want you!"

"you!"

"What do you want?"

Mapesha sarcastically said with a smile.

Just when Amman was about to get angry, Bix reached out to stop her, stood up and said.

"Mapesha, since you have an important guest coming, let's leave first and talk about it another day!"

"Okay, let's go slowly without seeing you off!"

Mapesha replied with a smile.

Although Baikatu and Amman were very reluctant, they still left with Bix with their people.

After everyone had left, Mapesha looked at Shen Qiu with a smile.

"Lord Shen Qiu, I thought you would come to me, but I didn't expect you to come to me so early. It's not dark yet. Or do you like the daytime?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shen Qiu is not that kind of person."

Yun Xiaoxi replied angrily.

"Oh, really? Oh~ That's really a pity. They are all ready to sacrifice themselves."

Mapesha looked very sorry.

"Mapesha, I have business with you, don't talk to me about that."

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and calmed down his ups and downs.

"Okay, in that case, come with me."

Mapesha said with a smile.

"good!"

Shen Qiu and others followed Mapesha and left the conference room.

When they reached his stairs and were about to go upstairs, Mapesha suddenly stopped and said to Yun Xiaoxi and others.

"Please stay."

"Why?"

Yun Xiaoxi looked at Mapesha warily.

"Sorry, I don't like people to talk too much."

Mapesha made up a random reason.

Yun Xiaoxi didn't believe it at all, but just when she was about to speak, Shen Qiu reached out to stop her.

"Xiao Xi, you guys wait for me here, I'll talk to her alone."

"All right."

Although Yun Xiaoxi was a little worried, Shen Qiu said so, so she didn't refute.

Mapesha smiled at Yun Xiaoxi and the others, and proudly led Shen Qiu upstairs.

Yun Xiaoxi's little face bulged with anger and she stamped her foot.

"snort!"

A few minutes later, Shen Qiu and Mapesha entered a luxurious suite, and Mapesha closed the door casually.

"Sit wherever you want, I'll go change my clothes."

Mapesha said and walked towards the bedroom.

Shen Qiu sat directly on the soft sofa and waited patiently.

Not long after, I saw Mapesha changed into a sexy white lace pajamas, her voluptuous figure was looming, and she was holding two glasses of red wine in her hands.

She walked straight to Shen Qiu, bent down and handed him a glass of red wine.

"Let's have a drink."

Shen Qiu could clearly see the deep groove. He raised his eyebrows slightly and took the red wine after hesitating.

Mapesha immediately sat next to Shen Qiu, her whole body so close that Shen Qiu could clearly feel the soft touch of her skin.

Shen Qiu then sat next to him and distanced himself a little.

"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat you."

Mapesha took a sip of red wine, her red lips looking even more attractive.

"I'm here to talk to you about business, so there's no need to sit so close."

Shen Qiu said in a deep voice.

"I know, aren't we talking right now? Master Shen Qiu, you can just say it. As long as I can satisfy you, there will be no problem. If I can't, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Mapesha said it extremely ambiguously.

Shen Qiu felt more and more that this Mapesha was very troublesome. If it were normal, he would definitely get up and leave, but now he had no choice but to endure it.

"I won't joke or gossip with you. I'm looking for you because of that Master Hydra."

"Hydra? The blacksmith?"

After Mapesha heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, I want to forge a weapon, but you also know that my relationship with your Gray Alliance is very tense. Hydra is from the Gray Alliance and is not willing to help me at all, so I want to see if there is anything you can do?"

Shen Qiu explained the situation frankly.

"Haha~"

After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Mapesha immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

"Huh? What's so funny."

Shen Qiu looked at Mapesha in confusion.

"Master Shen Qiu, you really know how to joke. Do you still need my help with such a small matter? You are the third star envoy! You have so much power. If the old man doesn't give you face, you can arrest him, or... When it comes to driving him out of the City of Stars, or even sealing up his store, aren't these things you can do with just a snap of your fingers? To put it bluntly, that old man is just an ant in front of you, you can easily crush him to death .”

Mapesha replied with a smile.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Shen Qiu replied angrily, although their positions were different, but they had already caused families to become homeless before, and if they continued to do so now, there really would be no limit.

When Mapesha heard Shen Qiu's words, her charming face was slightly startled, but then she recovered as before and she said with a smile.

"Yes, how could Mr. Shen do such a thing."

"If you don't talk about anything else, just tell me, is there anything you can do?"

Shen Qiu asked directly.

"Let me put it this way, that old man from Hydera was originally a top craftsman in the Gray Alliance. His temper is not ordinary, and he is indeed not easy to deal with. But it is not impossible, but if I help you do it, Master Shen Qiu How are you going to repay me?"

Mapesha leaned next to Shen Qiu and whispered into his ear.

"This is a villa in the 1st ring of the City of Stars. I don't need to tell you how much it's worth. And you probably need it very much now. You don't want to live in the 10th ring, right?"

Shen Qiu took out the property rights certificate prepared in advance and said.

When Mapesha heard Shen Qiu's words, her charming face showed a look of surprise. This property could not be bought with money.

But Mapesha's expression quickly returned to its original state, and she said with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, you are so generous, but I am very happy living here. I have no plans to move, so I don't want to."

Shen Qiu was also surprised that Mapesha actually refused, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Then what do you want? Equipment? Modules? Or money?"

"I don't want anything. I just want you to protect me, Mr. Shen Qiu, and I can still serve you."

Mapesha reached out and took Shen Qiu's arm.

Shen Qiu shook off Mapesa's hand, stood up and refused coldly.

"no!"

"Why? If you are dissatisfied with something, you can change it."

Mapesha pleaded coquettishly.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. I don't want to be your backer. The reward is just this real estate. If you accept it, then accept it. If you don't accept it, just give up. I'll find someone else."

Shen Qiu said decisively.

Shen Qiu knew better than anyone who Mapesha was. She was not as harmless as she seemed.

You must know the rumors that she is Gillavi's scorpion lover, who is responsible for intelligence and assassination, and her methods are not ordinary and spicy.

If I were to cover her, I don't know how many times I would have to wipe her butt.

Seeing Shen Qiu's resolute attitude, Mapesha said with a dumb smile.

"Master Shen, don't be angry. If it doesn't work, it won't work. How can I still refuse to agree to you?"

"Give!"

Shen Qiu directly picked up the property rights certificate in his hand and handed it to Mapesha.

"That's not necessary. Of course, you don't have to worry about owing me any favors. Didn't you help me drive away Bix and others just now? You also helped me protect my territory, and we'll settle the matter."

Mapesha did not accept the property ownership certificate handed over by Shen Qiu and said with a smile.

"Okay, so what are you going to do?"

Shen Qiu pondered and replied.

"You don't have to worry about this. I promise to do it for you. Let's go see the old man."

Mapesha said simply.

"OK."

Shen Qiu responded immediately.

A few hours later.

Off-road vehicles parked in front of Hydra's house.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the vehicle opened, and Tuduo came down with a group of vicious men. They shouted at the people wandering in front of Hydera's house.

"It's all gone!"

"It's gone!"

Although the people present were very unhappy, they all left in good spirits.

All fools know that these people are definitely here to cause trouble, and no one wants to get involved.

At this time, Shen Qiu, the others, and Mapesha got out of the car.

Tudor walked to Mapesha and said respectfully.

"Sister, everyone has dispersed."

"Knock on the door and remember to be polite!"

Mapesha said with a smile.

"clear!"

Tuduo immediately walked to the door, slapped the door hard, and shouted loudly.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Seeing how violent they were, Yun Xiaoxi asked Shen Qiu worriedly.

"Shen Qiu, is this really okay?"

"It's not clear, we'll wait and see what happens."

Shen Qiu was also drumming in her heart and felt a little unsure.

At this time, the door opened, and Hydra angrily shouted at Tuduo, who knocked on the door.

"Who are you! Who asked you to knock on the door like this?"

"I asked him to knock like this. It's been a long time since I last saw Hydera."

Mapesha walked up and looked at Hydra with a half-smile.

Hydra turned to look at Mapesha, her old face suddenly changed, and she replied vigilantly, as if she had seen a poisonous snake.

"It's you, Mapesha."

"Yes, it's me."

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

"Of course I came here to talk to you about something, and are you sure you want to talk here?"

Although Mapesha's tone was very gentle, the threat in her words was clearly visible.

"snort!"

Hydera snorted coldly and walked straight inside.

"Let's go in, please."

Mapesha turned to Shen Qiu and the others with a smile.

"Mapesha, Hydra seems to dislike you. Are you sure it's okay?"

Shen Qiu asked with some suspicion.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

Mapesha assured calmly.

Shen Qiu didn't say anything and led the people in with them.

Not long after, Shen Qiu and the others came to a simple living room, where wooden chairs and tables were placed, with a projection TV in the front.

"If you have something to say, hurry up. If you have anything to say, hurry up. I'm still busy."

Hydera said with a cold snort.

"Actually, I came to you this time for a small matter."

Mapesha looked at Hydra and said politely.

"Hmph, if you want to forge weapons for Shen Qiu, then needless to say, no way!"

Hydra didn't give Mapesa any face.

"Old man, how dare you talk to our eldest sister so arrogantly? You are just a stinky craftsman."

Tuduo's eyes were fierce and he replied with a sneer.

"I'm just a stinky craftsman, but this is the City of Stars, what can you do to me?"

Hydra replied forcefully.

"It seems that since you escaped from the Gray Alliance, your back has become tougher, but it doesn't matter."

Mapesha glanced at Tudo with a smile.

Tuduo immediately understood. He walked directly to Hydra and said with an evil smile.

"Old guy, you are tough and not afraid of anything, but I remember that you have a granddaughter, and I heard that she is very smooth."

"court death!"

Hydera was furious, her whole body burst with energy, and her clothes instantly shattered, revealing her dark and hard muscles.

Tuduo was not afraid of Hydra at all. He looked confident. After all, he had the support of his eldest sister behind him. He said fiercely.

"Do you think we dare?"

When Shen Qiu saw this scene, he turned to Mapesha with a dark face.

"Mapesha, is this what you told me? Isn't this nonsense?"

Mapesha said helplessly to Shen Qiu.

"There is nothing we can do about it. You may not know it well. This old guy has a bad temper and doesn't have many friends. It doesn't make sense at all, unless you take advantage of his weakness. Besides, I did this evil thing. It has nothing to do with you, just watch it with peace of mind."

After hearing Mapesha's words, Shen Qiu couldn't help but frown, and his expression kept changing.

At this time, Hydra was like a lion about to go berserk, staring at Tudo and Mapesha with bloodshot eyes. He knew better than anyone else how dirty these people were, and there was nothing they couldn't do. In the end, he Each word came out through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I'll help him forge it."

Mapesha said with a smile.

"It would have been better if I had agreed earlier."

"Wait!"

At this time, Shen Qiuche suddenly spoke.

Hydra and others turned to look at Shen Qiu at the same time, and saw Shen Qiu walking up to Hydra and saying apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Mapesha used this method to make you compromise. Let's just forget about it. I'll find someone else. Excuse me."

Shen Qiu felt really uncomfortable, so he decided to go back to the Red League to find out if there were any good blacksmiths.

"Hey boss, this is the best blacksmith, and other blacksmiths are hard to find!"

Chen Ye suddenly became anxious and quickly persuaded.

In fact, Chen Ye was right. Hydra is now recognized as the best blacksmith, and the top five blacksmiths in the world are all from the Gray Alliance. As for the Red League, although there are relatively outstanding blacksmiths, there are very few, and their technology is slightly inferior. As for the Blue League, there are almost none. They all study machine manufacturing in batches.

The reason for this is also very simple. The main reason is that the gray alliance region is backward in technology and economy, and has always maintained primitive manpower forging. To put it bluntly, it is poor and backward, so this industry has been preserved.

However, with the advent of the Night of Apocalypse and the rise of cold weapons, the forging industry has regained its vitality.

"Chen Ye, stop talking."

Shen Qiu stopped Chen Ye from continuing.

"well!"

Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Hydera snorted coldly and said to Shen Qiu.

"You don't need to be pretentious. Since I promised, I will forge it for you."

"I don't like forcing things."

Shen Qiu said sincerely.

"Hmph, there's nothing to force or not. Our Gray League members don't care about us anymore, so what do I have to care about?"

Hydera sneered directly.

Shen Qiu was also very embarrassed when she heard this, but Mapesha said with a smile without caring at all.

"Old guy, times have changed. You should stick to what you do. As long as you can survive in this era, it's enough."

"Huh, I don't want to see you here being an eyesore. You can leave."

Hydra didn't bother to say another word to Mapesha.

Mapesha wasn't angry either, she said to Shen Qiu.

"Lord Shen Qiu, you can feel free to stay and forge. Hydra still has professional ethics as a stubborn old man. Besides, we won't stay to cause any trouble."

"Um."

Shen Qiu nodded and responded.

"let's go."

Mapesha waved her hand and left with the people.

Soon Shen Qiu, the others, and Hydera were the only ones left in the living room, he said to Shen Qiu.

"What kind of weapon do you want to forge? Show me the materials."

"This is what the forge is made of."

Shen Qiu took out the mechanical capsule and threw it on the ground, then took out a black metal block and handed it to Hydera.

When Hydera saw Shen Qiu taking out the materials, his expression suddenly became very serious. He immediately stretched out his hands to take it, then groped for it and observed it.

The more he checked, the less calm his expression became.

Seeing the change in Hydra's expression, Shen Qiu knew that he had found the right person, and he asked politely.

"Master, what kind of material is this?"

"I don't know. The texture of this material is very special. I've never seen it before. Where did you get it?"

Hydra looked more and more excited.

"A gift from a friend from another world."

Shen Qiu immediately replied.

"grandfather?"

At this time, a timid voice sounded.

Shen Qiu and others followed the sound and saw a girl about sixteen years old, with fair skin and watery eyes, wearing a blue skirt walking out of the back hall, with an uneasy look on her face.

"Haiyue, please greet the guests."

Hydera said to Haiyue.

"OK."

Haiyue responded obediently and immediately returned to the back hall to prepare tea and cakes.

Hydera said to Shen Qiu and others.

"You guys sit here and I'll test the properties of this material."

"Good work."

Shen Qiu replied politely.

Hydera didn't waste any words and left with this piece of material.

At this time, Chen Ye came close to Shen Qiu and whispered in his ear.

"Boss, this old man doesn't even know the material. I feel a little confused! After all, this is something that even Anji can't handle. Do you think he can handle it?"

"That's right, I can't even handle it, but I don't believe that old man can handle it."

Angie popped her head and said proudly.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but push Anji back and explained helplessly.

"There is a saying that you should not trust those who employ you, and do not trust those who doubt you. Since we have chosen Master Hydra, we must trust him."

"All right."

Chen Ye scratched his head and replied.

At this time, Haiyue brought tea and snacks and spoke softly to Shen Qiu and the others.

"Gentlemen, have some tea and something to eat."

"Thanks."

Shen Qiu thanked him politely, and then waited quietly.

——

In the office of the Parliament Administration Building in the City of Sinking Stars.

Chairman Long Yan was reviewing and approving documents one after another, when Secretary Lin Ping strode in and reported respectfully.

"Chairman of the Longyan Council and Commander Gilravi of the Gray Alliance are about to arrive at the underground parking lot of Special Area 1."

Long Yan stopped, put the pen in his hand on the table, thought about it and got up and said.

"Come on, let's go meet him."

"good!"

Lin Ping replied respectfully.

So Long Yan took Lin Ping downstairs, and they came to the underground special area.

At this time, an inconspicuous car drove over, and then the door was opened. Vice Chairman Wang Heng and Commander Gilravi got out of the black car, talking and laughing.

At this time, Chairman Long Yan walked up and greeted with a gentle smile.

"welcome."

When Commander Gilravi saw Chairman Long Yan approaching, he immediately took two steps forward diligently, stretched out his hand, and shook the hand of Chairman Long Yan enthusiastically.

"Chairman of Longyan Council, long time no see."

"yes!"

Long Yan replied with a smile.

"Chairman Long Yan, to be honest, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, and this time it finally happened."

Gilravi's leadership posture was very low.

"This is my fault. In fact, I have wanted to visit you a long time ago, but I am busy with official business and I really can't get away."

Long Yan replied politely.

In fact, Gilravi had revealed that he wanted to visit him a long time ago, but Long Yan didn't want to see him at all. But now that the Gray Alliance's entry into the City of Stars has become a reality, he can no longer shirk it.

"I understand, I understand, Chairman Long Yan, why don't we find a quiet place to have a good chat."

Gilravi hinted with a smile.

"Okay, Wang Heng, you guys go and have a rest first. I'll discuss something with Commander Gilravi."

Long Yan then said to Vice Chairman Wang Heng.

"good!"

Vice Chairman Wang Heng nodded in response.

"this way please."

Long Yan immediately took Commander Gilravi upstairs.

Soon the two came to the private reception room, where Long Yan and Gilravi sat opposite each other on the sofa chairs.

"Have some tea."

Long Yan enthusiastically poured a glass for Gilravi.

"Thank you, Chairman Long Yan, you are really too kind."

"You don't have to be so polite. I heard that you recently settled in the City of Stars. Is everything going well?"

"It went very well. Mr. Long Yan, we have now settled in the City of Stars, and we will be a family from now on. If I have offended you in the past, please forgive me and don't take it to heart."

Gilravi said with a smile.

"Let bygones be bygones, don't mention it anymore."

Long Yan pondered and replied.

Under normal circumstances, Long Yan would definitely not let go of the Gray Alliance so easily, considering how many people had died in previous conflicts.

But the situation is different now. The Gray Alliance has made a lot of compensation and handed over many prisoners at the same time. And now that the situation is getting worse, Long Yan no longer has the energy to fight with the Gray Alliance.

"President Long Yan is very generous, and I will rely on you to take care of me in the City of Stars in the future."

Gilravi heard Long Yan's words with his own ears, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

When he came, he was not sure, and he was afraid that the talks would not go smoothly. If the Hongmeng still clung to the past things, life would be difficult in the future.

"Will do."

Long Yan responded politely.

At this time, Gilravi suddenly lowered his voice and said to Long Yan.

"President Long Yan, there is one more thing that I believe you will be very interested in."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Long Yan narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that Gilravi was trying to show his goodwill, but he wasn't quite sure what the other party wanted to show his goodwill to.

"Is such that."

——

City of Stars.

Shen Qiu and others sat quietly and waited, Chen Ye scratched his head and said.

"Boss, it's been more than five hours and he hasn't checked it yet. It's so slow!"

"Be patient!"

Although Shen Qiu felt a little unsure, she still replied calmly.

Fortunately, Master Hydra walked out from behind.

Shen Qiu immediately stood up and asked.

"Has the master detected what material this is?"

"No, I've tried all the detection methods, but I haven't been able to detect what material it is made of."

Master Hydra shook his head and replied.

"Can it still be forged?"

Shen Qiu asked with some disappointment in his heart.

"Of course. Although I don't know what this material is, it is super strong in terms of hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance. As long as it can be forged into a weapon, it will definitely be a top-notch weapon. .”

Hydera replied confidently.

Chen Ye couldn't help but said.

"Then the prerequisite is that it can be melted. This thing is just like the stones in the shit pit. It has no reaction at all under the high temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius, and it cannot be melted at all."

"Huh, look down on me! Come with me, I will open your eyes today!"

Hydera became more interested and waved her hand at Shen Qiu and others.

"good!"

Shen Qiu suddenly became interested.

They followed Hydra to the back, passed through the back hall, and passed through a door, suddenly enlightened.

A heat wave hit, and the air temperature soared.

"Is it so hot? Is the forging area in front of you?"

Shen Qiu asked somewhat unexpectedly.

"Yes, I demolished all the houses in the entire area and transformed them into a forging area."

Hydra replied simply.

Shen Qiu looked around and saw several shirtless men hammering different styles of weapons.

Tinkle, clang, sparks flying.

At this time, a tall man with tendons all over his body and a short hair came up and greeted him respectfully.

"Master!"

"Well, are you ready, Sandu?"

Hydra asked simply.

"Ready."

Sandu responded immediately.

"bring it on."

Hydra waved his hand and led Shen Qiu and others inside.

Shen Qiu and others became more and more curious as to what this Hydra was taking them to see.

Not long after, Hydera led Shen Qiu and others to a wall. Sandu stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wall, shouting loudly.

"ah!"

His muscles swelled, and the entire wall was pushed open like a revolving door, revealing a secret room.

Shen Qiu was also surprised. This secret room was creative. There were no mechanisms. The way to open it was purely through brute force.

Hydera led Shen Qiu and others inside. The entire secret room was very spacious. There were various forging equipments located here. The most conspicuous one was the giant furnace that was ten meters high in the central area.

The entire furnace is full of history, and from the appearance and texture, it can be seen that it was not made by Sanmeng and should have been brought back from the ruins.

"What a big furnace."

Yun Xiaoxi and others said in surprise.

"This furnace is called the Core of Lava. I spent a lot of money to get it back from another world. There is no material in this world that it cannot melt."

Hydra said proudly.

"Boss, there is hope!"

Chen Ye happily said to Shen Qiu.

"Um."

Shen Qiu looked at the furnace carefully and nodded.

After the introduction, Hydra said to Sandu.

"Turn on the furnace!"

"yes!"

Sandow walked behind the furnace and pulled the switches.

In an instant, the indicator lights on the entire huge furnace lit up one by one.

Hydra stepped forward and opened the feed port at the bottom of the furnace, placed the black metal block in, then closed the feed port and shouted to Sandu.

"Turn on!"

Sandu immediately started the furnace, and the lines on the surface of the entire furnace began to light up, and the temperature began to continue to rise.

"How long will it take to see the effect?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

"The material I have so far has the highest record of melting in this furnace for less than five minutes. This material will probably take a little longer, but it won't be too long."

Hydra said confidently.

"good!"

Shen Qiu became more confident after hearing what Hydera said.

Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour passed quickly.

Hydra frequently opened the observation baffle on the furnace and looked inside.

As a result, the black metal block showed no reaction at all.

Hydera's brows frowned more and more, almost twisting into a mess.

"Why is there no response? Is the temperature not enough? Do you want to warm it up?"

Chen Ye stretched his neck to follow and asked anxiously.

"How is it possible? It's 10,000 degrees Celsius."

"Chen Ye, don't worry, watch patiently."

At this time, Shen Qiu was also a little panicked. If he couldn't even melt this, there was really no hope.

Chen Ye immediately fell silent. Another half an hour passed, but the black metal block still didn't respond. This time, the temperature in the furnace continued to soar.

At this time, Hydra waved his hand and said to Sandu.

"Add smelting catalyst!"

When Sandu heard this, he also had a look of surprise on his face. This catalyst was very expensive. The master was usually like a treasure, but he still went to get it immediately.

Soon Sandu brought some boxy catalysts, which were very similar to cube modules. Hydra opened an adding port and threw it in.

After those catalysts entered the furnace, they immediately melted and volatilized, and the color inside became red and black.

Unfortunately, the black metal block still didn't respond.

"It still doesn't work."

Yun Xiaoxi also said a little nervously.

At this time, Hydra's face became a little uneasy, and he immediately said to Shen Qiu and others.

"You guys go and have a rest first. It will take some time here. It won't happen so quickly. I will let you know when there is any progress."

"All right."

Shen Qiu also saw that Master Hydera was a little stressed, so he nodded in response.

So they turned and left.

Soon only Hydra and Sandu were left in the smelting room, Sandu asked doubtfully.

"Master, what kind of material is this? Why has the core of lava not changed for so long?"

"What's the rush? Just wait patiently! I don't believe it can't be melted."

Hydra said unconvinced.

"All right."

Sandu immediately fell silent.

Time passed by just like that.

In the blink of an eye, it was night, and the black metal block still showed no reaction at all.

Hydra kept walking around with his hands ready, and he asked Sandu from time to time.

"Is there any sign of melting?"

"No, nothing has changed at all."

Sandu replied helplessly.

Hydera's patience reached its limit, and she couldn't help but say.

"Sandu turned on all the backup energy switches and started the furnace's overclocking device."

"Master, do you really want to do this? This will consume all our energy reserves."

Sandu was also shocked.

"If you are told to do this, just do it, stop talking nonsense!"

Hydra said angrily.

"yes!"

Sandu did not dare to refute Hydra, and immediately ran to turn on the backup energy switches, and then activated the overclocking switch of the Lava Core.

In an instant, the entire surface of the lava core lit up, and the internal temperature soared explosively.

Hydra's eyes stared straight through the observation port, looking at the black metal block.

At this time the black metal block began to turn red.

Sandu shouted in surprise.

"Master has responded."

"Great, melt it now!"

Hydra replied excitedly.

However, at this moment, the red black metal block did not melt. Instead, a penetrating eyeball suddenly opened on its surface.

The whole eyeball moved around. (End of chapter)
