Only one corner of the silver-gray promotional poster is still stuck on the dilapidated wall. In the lower left corner of the poster is a fat penguin in ridiculous clothes.
Although it seems to be a poster for children with animated characters as characters, if you know something about this company, most people will choose to stay away from it.
Penguin Logistics, this is an underground logistics company.
Their services include but are not limited to cargo security, confidential transportation, private high-level transportation, and the delivery rate is as high as 99%, far exceeding the level of peers in the industry.
The reason why the business level is so high and can only operate in the underground field is because their scope of involvement is too "extensive". So when Londinium was under martial law, this private company with Longmen City as its core business scope,
You can still thrive in this jewel of Victoria.
It's a pity that the price is a little high.
"I'm sorry, sir. This is a special period in Londinium. If you require private high-end transportation, the price per person will be this number!"
Miss Sakaz (Devil), who was in charge of entertaining Han Baiyi and the three people at the underground front desk, made an OK gesture with her hand, stretched out her index finger with her right hand and tapped on o, with an amiable smile on her face.
Han Baiyi knew that she didn't mean to come to my room at night,
But thirty thousand per person.
Han Baiyi looked at the two sharp horns on Miss Sakaz's head. They were really the whispers of the devil.
I need money...
However, he did not raise too many questions on this point, and Miss Sakaz's attitude clearly did not allow bargaining.
Penguin Logistics creates happiness with salary.
Han Baiyi has read many Arknights game background introductions and is aware of the powerful power of this mysterious company. If they want to leave Londinium safely without breaking the law, hiring a private logistics company is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way.
.
After all, this is a world with a very sound moral and legal system. It is not the absolute chaos in the world of Sekiro, but an order that is close to consensus is maintained amidst the chaos.
At least, killing people on the street in the core urban area is not feasible.
But, where should he get money at this time?
Han Baiyi gently rubbed his chin.
"Use this."
Wei Na suddenly spoke and took out a delicate and small gold lion head medal from her leather pocket.
A thin chain made of sterling silver was wrapped twice in the palm of her hand, and Wei Na casually handed it to Han Baiyi.
"It should be worth a lot of money."
Although her tone was calm, she was very sure.
Indra tugged on her leather coat, but Veena shook her head indifferently.
"fine."
As a descendant of the Victorian royal family, Wei Na has many valuable but commemorative baubles similar to this one. Although they are precious, they are not unique and are suitable for exchange.
What's more, even if she was unique, her traces should have been exposed long ago on this street full of surveillance.
That's fine too.
Wei Na thought to herself.
There is no question of trust with a stranger who suddenly appears.
According to his agreement with Morgan and Gawain, they should be near the Origin Stone portal and ready to teleport. As long as he sends out a signal under the right circumstances, they can escape immediately.
As for myself...
Wei Na's eyes dimmed slightly, then immediately returned to her usual calm state.
His life was originally saved by Indra and Morgan. In order for them to survive, what does it matter if he acted as a bait?
It's a pity that Indra couldn't escape with Morgan and the others.
Vina calmly glanced at Indra, who looked very tigerish, and then turned back to face Han Baiyi.
"If it is an official valuation, this Victoria First Legion Medal should be worth about 300,000 to 400,000 dragon gate coins. Even if it is based on the mortgage price, it can only be one-third."
Han Baiyi's eyes widened slightly and calmed down again.
A mere few hundred thousand Longmen coins were not enough for him to recruit an elite cadre back then.
However, Wei Na keenly captured his reaction in her eyes and left a detailed impression.
The strength is beyond imagination, and he is proficient in the Origin Stone technology, but he has never used it.
And... he should be from a middle-class or above business class, or from an ordinary aristocratic background.
I have seen a lot of money.
But this contradicts his previous weird performance...
Identity is in doubt.
At the same time, the other party knew a lot of secret information, and was very curious about the various races that were commonly seen.
Information channels are questionable.
Vina is the same as the ordinary royal Aslan (lion species), lazy, indifferent, taciturn, but possesses extremely keen observation and analysis skills.
From the moment Han Baiyi appeared, she quickly acted out the most appropriate behavior for a weak person meeting a strange and strong person.
Show weakness, obey, take advantage.
Han Baiyi clearly showed his dependence on them and made no secret of his purpose, but Wei Na did not use this as a breakthrough point to fight back.
The reason for this is the same as the reason why Han Baiyi did this.
Because of strength.
Han Baiyi is very strong,
Really strong.
Just the hand he used to subdue Indra instantly made it difficult for Vina to judge the upper limit of this man's strength.
As a member of the royal family, Wei Na has a very high vision.
But Han Baiyi's individual strength reminded her inexplicably of the Sakaz Sword Master who had been living in legends and whose real deeds were so exaggerated that even novels did not dare to write about it.
The ability to destroy an entire armed force with a single person.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Na will obey his judgment and carry out her own bait plan.
Otherwise, with Vina's vision and mind, she would not have thought of using external forces to help her escape?
Don't be stupid.
Although the slogan "Penguin Logistics, delivered at any time" is loud and clear, even if the delivery success rate is 99%, there is the shadow of the 1%.
Previously, if Vina dared to hire Penguin Logistics to escape with a group of members from the Glasgow Gang, the most likely outcome would be that the Glasgow Gang and the Penguin Logistics team escorting them would be annihilated in some unknown corner.
If she hadn't been separated from Morgan and others, if she hadn't met this unimaginably powerful man, there would have been too many if...
Seemingly risky decisions are always achieved one coincidence after another.
People who hide in darkness in times of crisis will always find it difficult to face the light again.
Vina is like this now. If it weren't for this man as a shield, she wouldn't even have the chance to walk on the streets of Londinium openly again.
Now, it would be great if you could escape with this man. If not... then let him help you teach the greedy infected princess a profound lesson.
As for who they are using now?
Is this important?
Han Baiyi calmly took the medal from Wei Na and handed it to Miss Sakaz.
"Please ask someone to estimate the price. Our situation is urgent and we need to issue an escort mission immediately."
When Sakaz saw the gold medal at the front desk, his eyes suddenly lit up. He skillfully took out a small staff from under the front desk and performed an Originium technique. The top of the staff flashed with stars.
"Confirmation completed, it is a pure gold item!"
Miss Sakaz's attitude immediately became warm. She took out a few cups of Siesta Mango Soda from the freezer nearby, led the three of them to the guest room, and placed the medal on the table for the three of them with respectful hands, speaking in a tone of voice.
He said with a playful smile,
"You three, please wait here for a moment. I will ask the resident magician at the stronghold to give you an estimate. If you need anything, please ring the bell and I will be on call."
After saying that, Miss Sakaz walked underground towards the depths of the stronghold hall.
The stronghold was empty except for Han Baiyi, three people and one table of customers.
After all, this is an underground logistics company and it is difficult to get on the stage.
The three of them were silent to each other. Indra didn't even sit down, but stood behind Vina's sofa, leaning against the wall, as if I was a personal bodyguard.
Wei Na took a small sip from the drink in front of her, smashed it in her mouth without leaving any trace, and then took two sips.
The plan of the three of them is simple.
Hire Penguin Logistics to find companions, then escape from Londinium through their unique channels and go straight to Longmen City.
Although they need to pass through multiple national borders and disputed areas, Longmen is still the best choice for them.
Han Baiyi opened the daily newspaper he just bought from the grocer and looked through it, thinking quietly about the little girl from Film he had just met.
The shop's name is Valerie, and the pastry chef's name is Mousse.
It doesn't seem to be a coincidence.
As a "barely mined" swordsman, before entering the game, Han Baiyi smashed a lot of Origin Stones into a lot of high-bond operators that seemed useless, and he could see most of them.
All files of members.
Although this little girl named Moussi looks weak and weak, she is actually a four-star professional guard operator in Arknights.
However, her current image is slightly different from her later image.
Just the appearance of this person provided Han Baiyi with a lot of information.
Files 1 and 2 of Mousse clearly stated that she was born in Londinium to a wealthy family with many children.
She has many family members and brothers and sisters, but she is not conspicuous in the family.
In the social atmosphere of the Kingdom of Victoria, women from wealthy families were expected to shuttle between various parties and manors, but Mousse did not adapt to such a living environment.
Since her family did not have any expectations for her, and because her parents loved their children, they allowed her to grow up according to her own wishes and choose her favorite career.
Finally, according to his own wishes, Mousse chose to work in a cake shop called 'Valerie', specializing in cake making, pastry baking and tea matching.
Until the crisis of infected people begins.
Han Baiyi is very concerned about this.
Many operators in Rhode Island mentioned the "Infected Person Crisis" incident in their experiences.
Judging from Han Baiyi's brain memory that has been strengthened many times by spiritual intelligence, many of the operators who were born in Londinium were infected with Originium Disease at the same time.
Melanza, Night Demon, Flame Melt, Mousse, Night Smoke...
Among them, there are Felin and Sakaz, there are poor people and there are children from rich families.
But the same thing is that in the [Combat Experience] column of their files, they all read 'half a year'.
As their bonds are unlocked and you look through their files, you will find that they were all born in Londinium, and the files all mentioned the "Infected Person Crisis" incident.
What's even more coincidental is that, more or less, there have been some distinctive changes in them.
Among them, Mousse and Night Demon have undergone the biggest and most profound changes.
Now, judging from Mousse's physical condition, the timeline is obviously still before the critical time point of 'half a year'.
In other words, the "infected person crisis" event has not happened yet.
There is still half a year until the Doctor wakes up, the Integration Movement 'liberates' Chernobog, and Rhode Island officially starts a war with the Integration Movement.
In the world of Arknights where there is no clear timeline standard, this is already a rare reference time point for Han Baiyi.
Even if it's not accurate.
While I was thinking quietly, the closed door suddenly opened with a 'chi' sound.
Penguin logistics employees dressed in gray and white uniforms escorted the two women into the deserted stronghold. The leader of the Sakota (angel) tribe ran into the stronghold hall with long, waist-length purple hair and yelled.
His hair was flowing, he was holding a gun in his hand, and the angel's halo above his head was shining brightly.
"Rilia! Rilia! I'm back! I want to eat Apuru pie!"
"Apuru..."
Indra, who was standing behind Vina as a bodyguard, laughed out loud. This was the first time she had seen such an out-of-the-box Sakta (angel) tribe.
The purple-haired Sakota woman stiffened when she heard the voice.
He glanced at the empty front desk, then at the three people drinking drinks in the VIP room, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"hey-hey……"
Behind her, a sword-wielding Luper tribesman also wearing a gray-white uniform and with long gray-black hair led the two women into the empty stronghold hall.
Wei Na seemed to smell something and raised her head keenly.
One of the two women, a gray-haired Felin tribesman, happened to meet her eyes.
"black?"
The woman Li Boli (Bird Seed), who was wearing a light blue dress, gauze, and white hat, asked softly, and then turned her gaze to the VIP room where Han Baiyi and the others were.
Wearing a black sports bra on top and only a pair of black suspender shorts on the lower body, but her arms were double wrapped with thick long sleeves and a transparent raincoat, the gray-haired film woman with a violin and a pot of arrows on one shoulder looked back and said softly to her young lady:
"Nothing. You just gave a great graduation speech at Victoria National University... Let's prepare lunch first. I've just heated up the lunch box."
The eldest lady held her lady hat and hummed softly, then walked with her bodyguard to the VIP safe house in the depths.
For a big shot like her, no matter where she goes, many organizations will give her the green light.
In a city like Londinium that is in the midst of a storm, for Ceylon, the daughter of Siesta City, there is no hotel better than the safe house of Penguin Logistics Company, which has good relations with Siesta City.
Insurance.
As long as the money is enough.
The Lupo tribesman who escorted the two people through the door silently stood back, while the escaped Sakota sniper led the two people deeper.
Han Baiyi raised his head and glanced at it, then a smile appeared on his lips.
What a coincidence, they are all acquaintances.
Wei Na saw the smile on his lips and closed her eyelids slightly.
Keep calm.
The two groups of people passed each other without any communication.
laugh.
The security door of the stronghold slowly closed, making a slight sound of gas compression.
Suddenly, there was a deafening loud bang in front of the door.
The safety door that was about to close was instantly distorted by the violent blast. The thirty centimeter-thick downward-moving safety door was forcibly twisted into a zigzag shape by the shock wave in the explosion, and crashed onto the metal ground with a section of the door frame.
Up, there was a burst of rustling smoke.
Thick fog filled the air.
Following the violent explosion, the red alarm inside the stronghold immediately sounded, and the living room and corridors were illuminated in bright red.
The two penguin operators who escorted Ceylon and Hei into the hall immediately made protective gestures and stood in front of the target. The three people in Han Baiyi in the VIP room also stood up at the same time.
Out of the thick fog, a short man stepped out.
There is a crystal mark on the face that extends from the left cheek to the back of the head.
He is an infected person.
Carrying a large sword that did not match his stature was carried on his back.
There were bursts of footsteps in the thick fog.
The gray-haired and black-clad bodyguard "Hei" didn't pause at all, dragging his young lady straight towards the underground VIP safe room. The other two Penguin operators stuck to their posts and stood at the door of the underground passage without taking a step back.
The young lady at the front desk who had just brought the senior appraiser from the underground to the ground showed her little head out of the darkness with a confused look on her face.
The visitor watched the eldest lady and the bodyguard escape, but had no intention of intercepting them.
The leader raised his knife and looked at the three people in the VIP room. He gently opened his heavy coat to reveal the stab-proof combat uniform underneath.
"This is the first time we meet, let me introduce myself. I am the leader of [Hantel], my name is Tigris, and I am a senior bounty hunter."
"This place is already surrounded by us [Hantel]."
The man looked in the direction of the VIP room with a calm tone, obviously having already determined his target.
"Excuse me, Miss Wei Na. Do you want to take the initiative to follow us, or... choose a more passive approach?"
