Before Bingshan and Franky could even take a step forward, they felt as if a tank was rushing past them on their backs. They were caught off guard, and they both threw themselves forward and fell to the ground.
what?
The two endured the pain in their backs and looked up blankly.
I saw a big white plush dog that was even bigger than an elephant, squatting in front of Nuo Xia, sticking out its tongue excitedly as if seeking credit, and wagging its tail...
This is... Lieutenant General Noxia's pet dog?
How can it be so big...
The two of them suppressed the shock in their hearts and immediately looked at Nuo Xia. They immediately discovered that, just because of the delay caused by Ding Chun, the latter had already taken the parchment in his hand and started reading it casually.
boom!
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, it exploded overhead.
Bingshan and Franky's pupils shrank instantly, and their faces turned pale.
No chance...
Originally, before the other party had time to read the content, they were able to get it back first, and then immediately apologized, saying that this was important information related to the sea train and was not suitable for outsiders to see. They hoped that the Lieutenant General would understand and have a chance to get through it.
.
But as long as the other party sees it...
You know, on the title of the parchment, the words "Pluto's Design Draft" are clearly written!
"hateful!"
Bingshan gritted his teeth and slammed the ground, "I was still a step too slow, this guy saw me..."
He was filled with annoyance and reluctance. When he thought about Teacher Tom's expression when he learned that Pluto's design was lost, he felt so guilty that he wished he could crawl into the cracks in the ground...
"Senior brother..." At this moment, Franky's voice came from his ears, "It seems something is not right."
"Um?"
Bingshan was stunned, then quickly raised his head and saw Nuo Xia across from him. He just glanced at the design drawing up and down, then rolled it up and put it in the iron box without interest, and threw it back to them.
At the same time, he turned his head and focused his attention completely on the big white dog who was proudly claiming credit.
"Eh? Have all the residents on the east side of the city been evacuated?"
"Oh, it turns out that there is a gathering place for raw material factories that accumulate steel and lumber. There are not many people. No wonder you and Xiao Luo are more efficient than me."
"The situation is not as bad as I thought."
Nuo Xia was slightly surprised, rubbed the dog's head vigorously, and said with a smile, "Good job. In that case, you can go to the west side of the city. Bellmel and Shia are too busy, and they still need your help."
"Woof~!"
After being praised by his master, Dingchun waggled his tail excitedly, reluctantly pressed his head against Nuo Xia's chest, suddenly turned around, and walked straight to the west of the city with his legs running like flying.
At this time, Nuo Xia finally turned his head and looked at the dumbfounded Bingshan and Frankie who were holding the iron box.
"You...you...you..."
Bingshan, who usually has a calm and reliable personality, stuttered a bit when he spoke, "This... this, you just gave it back to us?"
"Why are you so surprised?" Nuo Xia shrugged, "Didn't this fall out of your clothes? Isn't it normal for things to be returned to their original owners?"
"...But, but this is..."
Bingshan's mind was a little confused for a moment and he didn't know what to say.
In the end, Franky couldn't hold it in anymore. He gritted his teeth and almost roared to help him finish the second half of the sentence, "This is Pluto's design! You must have seen it too!"
"I saw it." Nuo Xia looked at him strangely, "Then what? Does this have anything to do with my returning the property to its original owner?"
ha?
Now it was Frankie's turn to be dumbfounded and speechless.
"Don't underestimate people, little devil..."
Nuo Xia patted his head angrily, "The so-called ancient weapons, such as breaking the sky, are just foreign objects. They may be very attractive to weak people who long for power, but don't compare me with those guys.
ah……"
"But, over there with the World Government..."
Bingshan's eyes were a little startled and uncertain.
Before Mr. Tom handed over the Pluto design to him, he solemnly explained that the World Government valued ancient weapons the most, and had been searching for relevant traces everywhere for a long time. He was told to be careful. The one he should be wary of most was the World Government.
people.
"Who said that if you become a marine, you have to act according to the wishes of the World Government?"
Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Nuo Xia sneered, and then said nonchalantly, "Okay, be careful. I'm still busy, and I don't have time to delay here with you."
He waved his hands, jumped off the roof, and headed straight for the area closer to the coast.
Bingshan and Frankie were left behind, staring at his back blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
————————
From about five o'clock in the morning until night.
The invasion of the water gods has never stopped, and the huge waves are getting bigger and bigger.
Nuo Xia and others have not stopped the pace of disaster relief. After a day of hard work, at least they personally rescued more than 5,000 civilians from the coastal areas.
The number of people who were saved indirectly had to more than double.
Among so many people, many naturally recognized Nuo Xia.
So, it was not yet past noon.
The news that Lieutenant General Nosha of the Navy Headquarters was leading his relatives and family members to search and rescue on the front lines had spread rapidly throughout the central city.
Only then did the rescued people know the identity of their benefactor. They believed in the gods of the sea. They were grateful, clasped their palms together and praised with tears. At the same time, they prayed in their hearts that Nuoxia and his party could return safely.
Some local rangers and bounty hunters who were somewhat capable in their own right, feeling ashamed of themselves, were also aroused and went out of the city to the outer areas to join the search and rescue team.
Even some pirates who were just passing by were no exception...
It can only be said that the power of role models is often infinite.
finally.
When dawn came the next day, the "water gods" that had been raging for a day and a night finally faded away. Although the strong wind remained the same, the sea surface gradually returned to calm.
Under Nuoxia's leadership and through the efforts of the city, most of the coastal residents survived this sudden and unprepared horrific natural disaster, with only minimal casualties.
However, people did not return home immediately.
Because I didn’t know who it was that inquired about the hotel where Nuo Xia and others were staying, and it was said that Lieutenant General Nuo Xia was already on his way back to the hotel.
Once this news comes out, who can still sit still?
The grateful people hurriedly rushed to the hotel from various streets and alleys in the city with various thank-you gifts.
