Volume 10 Storm Guards Chapter 10 Who Is More Important
"Yes, Alcatraz Island!" Dongfang Lu said slowly, "I think you should also know what kind of place that is."
Of course Gu Yao had heard of it. Anyone who knew a little bit about the strange places and strange news in the mainland would be familiar with this term.
Alcatraz, an island located in the middle of the Solano Sea southwest of the mainland, is synonymous with mystery and terror.
First of all, the Devil's Sea area near Alcatraz Island is extremely dangerous and its patterns are unpredictable. It may be calm now, but a few minutes later it has evolved into a super tsunami of level 10 or above, without any warning. Even people with rich sailing experience
, and it is impossible to judge.
Secondly, the huge sea monsters lurking on the bottom of the sea often appear near the Devil's Sea. They can easily overturn the largest and strongest ships on the continent. It is simply a nightmare for maritime activities.
Tsunamis and sea monsters come second. The most shocking thing, and what Alcatraz Island is famous for, is that ships passing through the thousand-kilometer sea area of Alcatraz Island often disappear out of thin air for no reason.
Some people traveling together saw their partner's boat next to them just now, and there was no wind or waves on the sea. However, their partner and the boat would disappear very suddenly, and their whereabouts were unknown, and the location of the incident was unknown.
All in the Devil's Sea area of Alcatraz Island.
Since ancient times, I don’t know how many people have personally confirmed the strange and bizarre disappearances, so rumors gradually spread that there is an omnipotent devil lurking in the Devil Sea. As long as they pass by the sea, the chosen people will become without any resistance.
Its a delicious meal.
Let’s not mention the credibility of the devil’s rumors, but the devil’s sea has indeed devoured many ships, including many ships that were personally guarded by top experts. The most famous one was the collective disappearance of the Skeleton Pirates.
Thousands of years ago, the Skeleton Pirates roamed the Solano Sea. They were extremely vicious. However, after they robbed a caravan ship and returned triumphantly. After passing through the Devil's Sea, the entire pirate group fell silent and was removed from the world.
, and the robbed caravan witnessed them entering the devil's sea.
Although the Devil's Sea area is notorious, many people still venture in and out, because Alcatraz Island is said to be full of treasures and wonderful places.
For those greedy businessmen, gold and crystal are even more important than their lives. If they can take risks and make a fortune on Alcatraz Island, they will not have to worry about it in this life. The probability of mysterious disappearances is still relatively low.
, it may not necessarily happen to you.
So they hired adventurous mercenaries, spent all their money on the best ships and navigation equipment, and headed for Alcatraz Island in the face of the tsunami and monsters from the bottom of the sea.
But nowadays, there are fewer and fewer adventurous caravans, because the Devil's Sea has become more and more violent in the past few hundred years, and the precious resources on the island have been exploited to the point where it is no longer worth risking their lives. The Devil's Sea has subsequently become a forbidden land.
There are few people around.
"Dongfang Lu, are you sure Duanmu Qing went to Alcatraz Island?"
"Yes, nine times out of ten!"
"Why did she go to that damn place?"
When this issue was mentioned, Dongfang Lu's face began to look unnatural, with regret, frustration, self-blame, and confusion all at the same time. Gu Yao was quite surprised.
After a while, she sorted out her thoughts: "That's it. You should also know that I have a close relationship with Xiaoqing, and we meet every one or two months. About half a month ago, I ran away
I took a trip to Reims County. We chatted as usual during those two days, and then as we chatted, she mentioned you. This is not the first time, it happens every time. In fact, she has not mentioned you at all since she graduated nearly a year ago.
I have never forgotten you, and I have been looking for you!"
Gu Yao felt hot in her heart when she heard this, and Dongfang Lu continued: "I advised her more than once that such a heartless man is not worth lingering on, but Xiao Qing still persisted in her persistence. I was really angry at that time, and there was never any news from you.
I said yes, since you always hide your head and hide your tail from Xiaoqing, then don’t blame me."
Dongfang Lu paused for a moment and then said: "So I told Xiaoqing that I got the exact news. The reason why I heard nothing from you is that you went to Alcatraz Island after graduation. I am afraid that you have already become a dead soul at sea!"
"After hearing what I said, Xiaoqing's face suddenly lost all color and she was lost. Although I was sad to see her, I thought this was the best way. Only if you disappear from the world forever would she
No longer live in memories, let go of the past and live a better new life, but I was wrong!"
Speaking of this, Dongfang Lu was extremely annoyed: "On the day I left Lance County, Xiaoqing also left. She told her family that she wanted to visit her old friend Dugu Feng in Yunuo County of the Dugu family in the west, and that she might have to stay a little longer.
She just came back at that time. The family was depressed after seeing her come back from graduation, so they thought it would be a good idea to let her go outside to relax, so they agreed. Our two families are very close to each other. I quickly learned the news, but I felt that it was not that simple.
, so I immediately contacted Dugufeng, but Xiaoqing never went to her place! This little fool must have listened to me and came to Alcatraz Island to find you!"
When she said this, Gu Yao's face was completely livid, and he slapped his palm on the table next to him: "Are you an idiot? Knowing that she is such a simple person, ****!"
Concerned and sincere, Gu Yao couldn't help but say dirty words, and the wooden table was shattered inch by inch, which made Xia Houjin's true legacy.
Dongfang Lu had never been scolded like this in her whole life. Her pretty face suddenly turned red and she screamed: "Who are you fucking!?"
"The hell is..." Gu Yao endured it, and finally swallowed back the word "you".
"What's wrong, Third Miss, what do you want to do to Third Miss!?" The guard who just brought Gu Yao in heard the sound and said that Gu Yao wanted to do something bad to Dongfang Lu, so he ran over quickly, full of hostility.
What he got in exchange for his diligence was a pair of darts. Dongfang Lu, whose pink face was full of frost, said coldly: "This is a private matter between the two of us. If anyone wants to interfere, don't blame the hidden weapon for being ruthless!"
The dart was nailed into the door next to the guard, and its tail was still shaking.
The guard was startled and said quickly: "Yes! Yes!"
After saying this, he hurriedly backed away, for fear of causing harm to Chi Yu, and also stopped the two maids who came after hearing the news.
"Oh, it seems that my uncle-in-law is quite angry. He dared to get angry in front of the young lady. He really made a mistake!" The maid did not think that the situation was serious. She only thought that the two of them were playing tricks. But in the heat of the limelight,
, it’s best to ignore it.
"I don't know who is more idiotic. I don't know how to cherish such a good girl. I don't know where she will die. She will only attack me after she loses her!" Dongfang Lu retorted angrily, retaliating against the scolded person just now.
..
Gu Yao glared and said, "What's missing? Miss Third, please can you speak better?"
"Yeah, I'm the stupidest, but I'm better than some guys who don't know what they are called!" Dongfang Lu still had a tough mouth. But she muttered twice and didn't say much. Her words were indeed a bit unlucky.
"Okay, it's my fault. It's my impulsiveness and unscrupulous words. I think Duanmuqing's life and death are far more important than our quarrel now. So, stop talking so much nonsense and let's talk about something serious!" He must
The better you understand the whole thing, the better you can determine what to do next.
Dongfang Lu snorted coldly and said, "It's good that you know!"
"How long has it been since she left the family?"
"Two months and three days!"
More than two months?
Gu Yao frowned, judging by the time, Duanmu Qing had probably already embarked on the journey to Alcatraz Island.
"Does the Duanmu family know the truth?"
Dongfang Lu nodded: "I generally know. Except I don't understand why Xiaoqing went to Alcatraz Island. Well, you don't have to look at me like that, indeed. I feel guilty and have no shame to tell the truth to the Duanmu family. But, don't
Forget, you are the initiator. If it weren’t for you, Xiaoqing wouldn’t be here today. A bad guy like you shouldn’t have appeared in her life at all!”
Gu Yao was silent for a moment. Indeed, he had influenced Duanmu Qing's life, and there was an inside story that even Dongfang Lu and others could not see.
"If you don't like Xiaoqing, it's just because she is sentimental. But you clearly like her. Otherwise, why would you be so fierce and worried after hearing that she disappeared? Since you like her, why should you refuse? Don't say that you are not worthy.
Bird's words, although I despise you, I have to admit that with your current strength, you can establish yourself on the mainland, seek an important position in Lance County, and gain status and respect. No one will say whether you are worthy or not.
Fuck her! So, you’re just running away, no doubt about it!”
Gu Yao opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to refute. Dongfang Lu's barrage of words struck at the most vulnerable part of his heart.
Finally, Gu Yao said dejectedly: "Has the Duanmu family taken any action?"
"Well, they immediately sent people to chase all the port towns on the edge of the Solano Sea and paid close attention to all sailing ships, but there was no news. Maybe..."
"Maybe she has gone to Alcatraz Island a long time ago!" Gu Yao added.
"Yes, very possible!"
"So, has the Duanmu family taken the next step?"
Dongfang Lu shook her head: "You also know what kind of place Alcatraz is. Xiaoqing is very important to the Duanmu family, but they can't let so many people risk going to sea for Xiaoqing."
After listening to Dongfang Lu's words, Gu Yao fell into silence again.
That obedient girl actually deceived her family and ventured into danger alone just for an unreliable word!
From the day Han Dan was kidnapped, he always thought that finding her was the most important task in his life, and he could give up other tasks for it.
But now Duanmuqing's disappearance has made the balance in his heart tilt to the other side again.
Dandan or Duanmuqing, who is more important?
The faces of the two people appeared alternately in his mind, and Gu Yao was confused.
Am I just a fickle person?
Standing up abruptly, Gu Yao strode toward the door.
"Wait!" Dongfang Lu immediately followed: "Where are you going?"
Gu Yao stopped and said expressionlessly: "I have something to do, so I have to leave."
"Don't lie to me!" Dongfang Lu said: "I know what you want to do. After all, a person's power is limited. Take me with you. I should also bear a considerable part of the responsibility for Xiaoqing's matter!"
Gu Yao glanced at her and said nothing, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
A trip to Alcatraz is not a wonderful trip. It is ten times more dangerous than Azeroth and is full of dangers.
As Dongfang Lu said, a person's power is limited after all, and he needs strong helpers.
The subordinates who have been trained are far from mature enough. If they are allowed to go to Alcatraz Island together, they will only be delayed and may even be buried in the sea. Then the hard work of training will be in vain.
But Dongfang Lu is different. She has a very bad temper, but it is undeniable that she is a heroine among women and a first-class expert who will become a very competent helper.
During the four years they were in the academy, the two never got along and always had quarrels.
However, for the common goal, they had to work together, and a pair of enemies came together for the first time.
But, can they really work together to overcome the many difficulties they will face? This is a big question.
In any case, some interesting things may happen on the way to Alcatraz Island!
