The leader who got off the car, Pan Ruiyi, stood proudly on the desert.
Pan Ruiyi checked his weapons. He was wearing a power glove forged by Night Silver. He was wearing a brand new witch armor, the latest achievement of the scientific research department, which he called the "genius" because it looked strong and could bounce the witch's body.
Strength and running speed increased more than ten times.
In addition to fists and armor, there is no need for other fancy things, because it is Pan Rui! So just a witch armor and a pair of iron fists to assist the action!
The spice noblewoman Aisha looked stunned. Pan Ruiyi knew that she still knew nothing about his side's purpose, so he tolerated her confusion.
She couldn't help but observe Ayesha carefully.
Ayesha's skin is light brown, with huge crystal pendants hanging on both ears. A silk hairnet is wrapped around the top of her delicate brown hair. She is wearing a translucent dress with a red background and gray edges. You can see her
She has a pair of beautiful long legs, the rattan sandals perfectly wrap her crystal clear toes, and each nail is coated with a thick layer of purple-red nail polish, which is in line with Pan Ruiyi's impression of the spice aristocrat.
Hassan moved diligently to join the entire team led by Pan Ruiyi.
Half are fighting witches, half are human agents, and include a secretly selected group of modern ninjas carefully cultivated by Nisto Company, a total of 22 people.
Pan Ruiyi personally led them to infiltrate the Near East, preparing to crush the rule of Near East Hisheng Company and Noriko Honma.
Aisha looked up at Pan Ruiyi, her expression becoming increasingly troubled.
The powerful spirit emanating from Pan Ruiyi is simply unstoppable, as ferocious as a real female war goddess.
Even through the airtight black armor, which completely blocked the outline of her face, Ayesha could still feel a shock from the bottom of her heart.
She has seen modern gladiators, desperadoes, elite mercenaries, war witches, and high-level hired security personnel. Some of them are bloodthirsty and cruel, some are loyal to their duties, and they are all brave people who are not afraid of death, but...
None of them are as powerful as the woman in front of me.
It was like living steel. Ayesha was filled with fear.
Pan Ruiyi was satisfied with Ayesha's eyes, yes, that's how it should be.
It is normal for ordinary people to be in awe of her. This is not only because Pan Rui is a powerful ruler witch, but also because she is at her best.
She has not been active for a long time. She has been taking a long vacation since last year, checking in at the most famous resorts in the world, and staying healthy physically and mentally.
Not only that, she also hit Xu Yang more than 10 times before leaving, and kept hitting until she was satisfied. Just like a real violent animal, she never stopped.
The power she endured was like a volcanic eruption, and all that power was swallowed up by Pan Ruiyi with his indestructible body.
Just like a heavy machine filled with fuel, Pan Ruiyi is really fierce now.
hard!
Tyrant!
Even if Pan Ruiyi were to fight against the most powerful gods now, she would not have any fear!
Lead the team on board.
Ayesha prepared four large trucks, filled with arms and Pan Rui's special operations team. She herself sat in the same off-road vehicle with Hassan and Pan Rui.
Pan Ruiyi occupied the entire row of seats in the vehicle. She leaned back on the leather seat and spread her legs like a little bully.
The vehicle surged forward in the yellow sand, passing the remains of nuclear war in the desert of the Near East along the way.
Pan Ruiyi turned his head and looked around. Long concrete walls and bunkers divided the entire sand dune into pieces, and the radioactive coffin buried underneath would never see the light of day.
What kind of radiation prison complex? Pan Ruiyi secretly thought. Nuclear weapons are used too frequently! Is it because the desert cannot live in people, can it be bombed at will?
The most unfortunate way to die is to be crushed to death or imprisoned in a cage, Pan Ruiyi thought to himself. If he couldn't stand being imprisoned in that kind of reinforced concrete box, he would have to blow it up with one punch.
The more he looked at the cement coffins that prevented the leakage of radioactive materials, the angrier Pan Ruiyi felt. He wanted to jump out of the car and beat them now, but he couldn't.
"There are so many nuclear war wreckage." Pan Ruiyi complained.
"Yes, the war in the Near East was so intense that there is now a radioactive dust storm every year, blowing radioactive dust to places such as Constantiniya, Alexandria, Ctesiphon and Nineveh," Ayesha said.
, there was actually a hint of pride in his words.
Near East!
Death, scorching sun and a subtle chill spread in the air.
This area connects all continents and seas, and can be described as a place of melee where all forces are at odds with each other. Pan Ruiyi nodded, knowing that this was a natural war zone.
She returned her attention to the road in front of her. The road was like a black rubber pipe violently penetrating the desert, as if it was printed on the land by a machine and nailed to the surface.
There are a large number of light drones gliding silently on the top, and there are speed cameras every 300 meters on the road. I don’t know what else was captured besides recording the speed.
She put her boots on the backrest of the seat in front of her, bent her knees, and clasped her hands in front of her chest. Because her chest was too big, her armor was stretched one size larger, and it was very suitable to rest her elbows on it.
"Are all the roads here monitored?" Pan Ruiyi asked.
"The radiation zones and no-man's lands in the Death Desert are lifeless. Desert people must cross these roads if they want to survive. They are like lifelines. So for Near East Xisheng Company and Near East Tianci Company,
Monitoring the highway is the most necessary," Hassan explained.
"Then your and my whereabouts have been exposed." Pan Ruiyi complained.
"Aisha would have hired a large number of people, not to mention..." Hassan looked up at the drones.
As if they were forced back by Hassan's mechanical sight, they began to retreat quickly.
"Hassan is very capable, he seems to be a hacker," Ayesha said with satisfaction.
"I am an all-round Nisto synthesizer. I hope this Nisto company recall wave will not come to my head." Hassan imitated a humorous tone with an electronic voice.
Just as Pan Ruiyi was about to say something, he saw some huge buildings with complex structures appearing in the distance on the road, with colorful smoke constantly spraying out from them.
She also saw a bizarrely huge and terrifying creature, with a huge split mouth and a long and multi-striped segmented body, exactly like the legendary desert giant insect.
"What is that?" Pan Ruiyi stretched out his hand.
"Spice bugs, we often encounter them when mining spices. Spices are buried under the Near East. They are everywhere and are extremely valuable. Unfortunately, spices are monopolized by two companies, Near East Tianci and Near East Xisheng." Ayesha was jealous.
He looked towards the mining area.
Giant machines of towering size are constantly drilling into the earth, forming rows of industrial-grade mines behind the dunes.
Ayesha couldn't help but ask Hassan to stop the off-road vehicle and let the other teams go first. She went to the top of the sand dune first and looked at the spice mine.
"Look." Ayesha opened the car door and walked out.
They overlooked the vast spice mine, which was like a giant wound in the earth. The more than twenty heavy-duty drilling machines were like blood-sucking insects, lying on the mine insatiably, extracting spices from the depths of the earth day and night.
Pan Ruiyi frowned and observed.
The giant spice sandworms are attracted by the sound of drilling and intend to attack the miners, just as their ancestors used to eat humans.
Miners blast the earth, eager for spices to emerge from the ground, and sandworms devour the miners. This should be some kind of natural life cycle, a blood-stained transaction.
However, under the influence of modern technology, once the sandworms appear, instead of running away, people quickly send drones and power armor soldiers to attack and capture them, injecting medicine into the sandworms, making them more violent and turning into some kind of creature.
miner.
They drill tunnels downward to help expand the search for spice deposits. The mine in front of them has captured four giant sandworms. They are all savage and huge. They dig down tirelessly, and from time to time they fall out of the tunnel due to excessive pain.
Climb out and roar at the blue sky.
"...The Vermillion Spice Mine, that should have been our heritage." Ayesha murmured.
She looked at the spice mine with envy, as if what Near East Xisheng Company was digging was not spices, but Aisha's ancestral grave.
"The spice aristocrats once ruled all the spice industry in the Gulf, but the company's power has become stronger and stronger. Today, all the ancestral properties have been acquired," Hassan explained.
"Do you want to take back your ancestral property?" Pan Ruiyi arrogantly raised his hand and pointed to the purple spice mine in front of him.
"How to take it? It will anger Xi Sheng Company, that barbaric woman Noriko Honma... She will send an army of killers to destroy us. You just came here and you plan to go to war? And I don't even know your name.
." Ayesha said coldly.
"How much money can this mine make in a year?" Pan Ruiyi asked.
"About 3 billion to 6 billion." Hassan said.
"A steady stream of wealth will flow into your wallet, all you have to do is ask." Pan Ruiyi raised his head.
Ayesha's eyes showed complex emotions, some kind of anxiety and some kind of expectation mixed together.
"...Let's go quickly, or they will find us." Aisha finally took Pan Ruiyi and Hassan back to the off-road vehicle and ordered Hassan to lead the way back to Aisha's family manor.
Pan Ruiyi shook his head, disappointed with Ayesha.
"By the way, I'm hungry. Let your housekeeper and chef prepare food in advance. Make more, I want to have a big meal." Pan Ruiyi said.
"Food doesn't matter, there is plenty. I just want to know, are you mercenaries?" Ayesha asked cautiously.
In the past, she would have never looked down upon Pan Ruiyi and her gang.
But the feeling Pan Rui gave Ayesha was so wonderful, it was almost like the conquering witch in the mural came to life.
Aisha had a faint premonition.
If she seizes this opportunity, she can turn over!
Even as Hassan said, it is possible to replace Noriko Honma and live in Kalifa Minaret.
"Just think of me as a mercenary! And the most powerful and fiercest mercenary in the world." Pan Ruiyi clenched his fists.
"You? What about the people you brought?" Ayesha was puzzled.
"Just rely on me. As for the others, just treat them as higher-level soldiers." Pan Ruiyi said arrogantly.
"Huh...that's amazing." Ayesha couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, showing a faint smile.
She knew that Pan Ruiyi was exaggerating like this to attract Ayesha's attention.
Well, Pan Ruiyi did it.
The spice aristocrats are a group with a long history, but today, they no longer control specific wealth and military power, they just rely on the afterglow of the past to survive.
Aisha longs to regain her glory.
The off-road vehicle approached a large manor. Aisha's eyes fell on the manor, and her thoughts became more and more distant. In the past, the spice nobles once responded to everything.
"Is that your family's house?" Pan Ruiyi was curious.
"Our family is in decline." Aisha summed it up briefly, her eyes falling on the large mansion in front of her, her expression showing a trace of bitterness.
Compared to upstarts like Noriko Honma, Ayesha firmly believes that spice aristocrats like them are the legitimate rulers of the Spice Coast.
The Aisha family mansion is located on a large natural oasis that is rare in the desert. Towering white walls surround three huge houses with a vast area. Palm trees are higher than the walls, providing shade to the courtyard with huge green leaves.
The doors and windows are all arched, showing a very typical exotic style for Pan Ruiyi.
The off-road vehicle stopped in front of the marble corridor. Pan Ruiyi got out of the vehicle and his eyes fell on the exquisite mosaics on the wall. They were like some kind of flattened maze that people could never distinguish.
"I have already ordered people to prepare the food. You will not go hungry." Ayesha led Pan Ruiyi and her team members towards the restaurant.
There were only a few servants, only Hassan and a few old-style D-type synthesizers from Nestor Corporation, and not even a D2.
"It's really not a bad place here." Pan Ruiyi marveled.
She walked out of the team alone to check other parts of the Ayesha family mansion.
Pan Ruiyi's head almost reached the lintel of the door. At this time, she held her head high and took long strides, roaming in the courtyard like a mare. People who looked at her would worry about whether they would block her way or be blocked.
She got run over.
There are four wings around the atrium, and in the center is a large bronze lion fountain. Water should be flowing from the lion's mouth, but it seems to be to save money, it is not operating at this time, and the surrounding pools have dried up, revealing a large number of colorful fountains underneath.
Come pebbles.
The air was filled with the fragrance of roses and jasmine, but many flowers were about to wither. Pan Ruiyi felt that he would not be able to smell such floral fragrance if he came a few weeks later.
Following the team back to the restaurant, she saw that the interior of the mansion was covered with velvet carpets and had a crystal chandelier on top. Many things had obviously been sold. As far as she could see, there were empty picture frames and lonely statue pedestals.
And display cabinets that are purely for decoration.
Presumably in order to maintain her elegant life and the glamorous appearance of the manor, Ayesha basically sold off all her ancestors' artworks and precious collections.
The same is true for the restaurant. Although it is spacious and the long table in the middle is quite impressive, all the decorations that should be there are gone. The velvet tapestries, handmade embroideries, ancient paintings and portraits of ladies are all missing. The only poor vase left is also lackluster.
The sunflower in the middle is standing alone. It looks quite lonely. It might as well be pulled out.
There was no air conditioning, so it was quite hot. Pan Ruiyi sat on the hardwood chair and felt sweat all over his buttocks.
"Huhu..." Pan Ruiyi fanned the wind with his hands.
Hassan and the other D-type synths quickly served the dishes, and several human maids also arrived belatedly. They were responsible for passing the dishes, serving wine, and providing tableware for the guests.
The men brought by Pan Ruiyi, including robots, agents, operators, spies, Secret Bureau personnel, ninjas, and war witches, all ate with great restraint, trying not to cause trouble to the host, showing courtesy and magnanimity.
Pan Ruiyi was the only one who gorged himself and ate hazelnuts.
She opened her visor to reveal the lower half of her face to facilitate eating. As a result, the food disappeared as soon as it came in front of her. It quickly entered her lips and tongue and was crushed by her sharp teeth.
Before they knew what was happening, they were sent into the stomach to meet Pan Ruiyi's super digestive system.
"Serve! Serve!" Pan Ruiyi kept shouting. Once she saw that the plate in front of her was empty, she raised her hand without hesitation and asked Aisha's waiters to bring more food!
