Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Do we really need to come this early? What if we don't find the bird's nest by then?"

Red Wolf said somewhat helplessly, "Why did I have to be so stupid as to accept those two idiots' invitation yesterday? Now I'm an idiot too! Besides, they're going out so early, it'll be funny if they don't find the bird's nest."

"You don't know anything. Don't you know that the early bird catches the worm? We can only find more bird nests if we set off early. Besides, we don't even know if we'll find any golden bird eggs today."

Wei Long retorted, and went straight downstairs to get his car.

"Oh, let's go. We're already up, how can you sleep if we go back now? Just think of it as a walk."

After saying that, Roy turned around and went downstairs.

"Sigh, I definitely can't agree to things so easily like I did today next time."

After thinking for a while, Red Wolf shook his head and secretly vowed that he would never agree to such a thing on a whim again like he did yesterday.

Red Wolf: Waaah, how come I feel so ashamed now?

But there was nothing he could do. Seeing that even Roy was about to leave, Red Wolf hurriedly went downstairs to catch up.

"Hey, you two, slow down! What's the rush?"

And so, just as the sun was beginning to peek over the earth, the three of them arrived at the Longbow Valley.

"So, should we go see the ranch first? Or should we check out the other two places?"

Roy, who was in the car, asked Veelong, since Veelong had thoroughly investigated the ranch yesterday, and he wondered if a new batch of ranches would be replaced.

"Hiss~~~Why don't we go take a look? Maybe there will be some new ones today. We can go see the places you pointed out earlier after we've seen this one."

After saying that, Wei Long parked the car in a secluded spot, and the three of them grabbed their weapons and headed straight for the ranch.

"Hey Roy, have you gotten this cocky lately? You're no wonder you used to be a British hoodlum."

Watching Roy strut ahead with his head held high, Wei Long and Red Wolf couldn't help but tease him, mainly because Roy's expression was just too funny.

"Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by 'British hoodlum'? I've already reformed, okay? Besides, I was young back then too, and I thought I was pretty cool. But then I met my wife, didn't I? Don't bring this up in front of her next time you see her, or she'll start nagging me again."

Amidst the commotion, the group arrived at the location where Wei Long had committed the crime the day before. However, upon arrival, they discovered that the place Wei Long had described as being full of bird nests was now completely empty.

"So...those people just took it after you finished taking it? What do you say now?"

Red Wolf looked at the haystack and saw nothing there, then looked at Wei Long and asked.

"Let's go. I guess the people here are on guard now, after all, I knocked out that Asara rocket soldier yesterday."

After Wei Long finished speaking, the three of them chose to walk directly to the second place Roy had pointed out.

“Hey, you guys really have to admit, Reese has really done a great job with Longbow Valley. These houses look much more impressive after the upgrades. Right now, the only place that can compare to this is the newly built hotel in Lassey.”

As they walked, the group constantly observed the upgraded and renovated buildings around them. Although the overall environment of Chang Gong Valley remained unchanged, the style and quality of these houses had been greatly improved.

"Let's go, the next one seems to be a little in front of Blue Harbor Wharf. Hehehe, here we come, Golden Bird Egg!"

The group, all smiles, ran towards the second cluster of bird eggs.

But when the group arrived at the second bird nest gathering point Roy had mentioned, they were completely dumbfounded. There was nothing in front of them! At least give them a glimpse of a bird nest, how could they see absolutely nothing?

"Roy, are you sure you saw that here? Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Wei Long placed his hand on Roy's head and asked with a murderous look on his face.

"Impossible! How could I possibly be wrong? You know, I drew these places down as soon as I saw them that day. There's no way I could be wrong."

Seeing that Roy also looked incredulous, Wei Long let Roy off the hook, and the three of them stood there dumbfounded.

"So... what should we do now? Could it be that the event has expired, or has the event been moved to a different location?"

The three of them looked at each other, completely lost and disoriented.

"How about we wander around a bit? If I remember correctly, there seems to be an Asara Rocket Soldier in every bird nest gathering area."

At this point, Roy, the idea king, stepped forward and, combining his previous observations and experiences with Weilong, successfully discovered a pattern in the event.

"Yeah, it seems like there's always an Asara Rocket Trooper at this bird nest gathering place. Wait, I didn't see one at Said's place yesterday."

"Well, maybe Said is just too poor to recruit rocket soldiers."

"Hmm...that makes sense. Shall we continue wandering around? And knock everyone we encounter unconscious?"

Red Wolf joined in, and the three rascals from the bushes reached a consensus, deciding to bravely venture into Longbow Valley together.

And then it was yesterday afternoon.

"Hey kid, you're awake. The surgery was a success. We managed to save your bottom. Don't get too excited."

When the Asara Rocket Soldier opened his eyes again, he found a group of people standing in front of him, and the most eye-catching person was none other than our Hellish Black Shark Reese.

"Lord Reis! I... I've fainted again?"

The Asara rocket soldier also struggled to sit up, but the pain in his chest and buttocks forced him to remain lying on the bed.

"Kid, tell me everything you know. As a soldier of Reiss, how can you let others bully you? I want to see if it's Yusef's people who did this."

Chapter 351 The Three Scoundrels of the Grass (3)

"Lord Reis, I was just following the plan to move those bird nests to a new location, but I don't know where the bullet came from, it hit me right in the butt, and then... then I just collapsed, feeling dizzy."

The Asara rocket soldier looked at Reis with a touched expression. What's wrong with Boss Reis? Why is he actually caring about a lowly soldier like him? Could it be that what was said before about Boss Reis changing his personality is true?

"Oh? They only spanked your ass, didn't kill you? Could it really be one of ours? But shouldn't everyone know the rules of the game? Why would they hit you for no reason? Could it be that Demulan, that woman, called a few soldiers to cause trouble?"

After listening to the rocket soldier's words, Reis stroked his beard and began to think, but it was still too difficult to find out where the enemy came from based on this information alone.

"Oh well, never mind, kid, just rest here. You can go back to guard duty once you're healed. This event is still a while away, so consider this a work injury."

After saying this, Reis had someone bring a gold brick from behind and placed it on the bedside of the Asara rocket soldier. He then swaggered out, a cigar in his mouth.

Asara Rocket Soldier: Huh?! Gold... gold nuggets! Lord Reis, I'll be your soldier again in my next life!

After Reese left the ward, he turned to Barton, who was standing nearby, and asked:

"Do you think it might have been Said who orchestrated this? After all, we took over such a large area as Scorpion Street. Although I didn't see any dissatisfaction from Said at the time, who knows if he really thought that way?"

Said: Huh? Dissatisfied? I'm quite satisfied, okay? I'm very satisfied now. You, Reis, are actually starting to doubt your ally.

However, Barton directly rejected Reese's idea.

“Boss Reis, I don’t think it’s Said. After all, we’re allies now. Besides, for that idiot Said who only knows how to fight to do something like this, I think it’s better to suspect Yousef and the others than Said.”

"That's true. That Said guy is a simpleton. It's really unlikely that he would do something like this. But Yusef's side... it probably isn't him either. Oh well, whatever, let whoever wants it, maybe it's just a civil war among our own people. I'm going to go count my money in my vault."

Seeing that he couldn't figure out who did it for the time being, Reis simply stopped thinking about it. Now he was going to go to his big vault and properly admire the warehouse full of Haff coins.

After seeing Reese leave, Barton stood still and muttered to himself:

"They didn't go all out, so could it be a GTI? What do they mean by this?"

Now, let's rewind to the present, where Luna is in her room.

Just then, as the alarm clock that had been set the night before began to ring, Luna, who was holding Zhang Hao while he slept, turned around and turned it off. Then she looked at the little guy who was still sleeping in her arms.

Luna leaned close to Zhang Hao's ear and whispered:

"Xiao Hao, it's time to get up and eat some watermelon. We should head out now."

Upon hearing the words "eating melons" while nestled in Luna's arms, Zhang Hao groggily opened his eyes and then stood up like a walking corpse.

"Eating melon seeds... Yes, I'm going to eat melon seeds."

Luna rolled out of bed and pulled the curtains closed, letting in the sunlight that woke up Zhang Hao, who was still a little drowsy.

"I'm going to my room to wash up first, Luna. See you downstairs later."

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Hao went straight out to his room to change his clothes. Fortunately, he had gone to bed early with Sister Luna last night, otherwise he would probably still be unconscious at this hour.

After quickly tidying up, Zhang Hao came downstairs. Shen Lan had already brought out their breakfast. After seeing Zhang Hao come downstairs, Shen Lan gave him some instructions:

"Xiao Hao, keep an eye on those three guys later. If any of them get carried away and want to explore the depths of Chang Gong Valley, be sure to persuade them to come back in time. We know nothing about this fully upgraded Chang Gong Valley right now, so we need to be careful."

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement, but... it seems really unlikely that Brother Weilong and Roy would get together without taking any risks.

"Don't worry, Uncle Shenlan. I'll talk to Brother Weilong and the others about it later. If they don't listen, I'll bring you out on their behalf, Uncle Shenlan."

Deep Blue smiled and nodded after hearing this. After exchanging a few words with Luna, he turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast for the others.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Hao and Luna set off to begin their patrol.

"Xiao Hao, hold on tight to your sister, okay? I'll patrol the Longbow Valley as fast as I can. Once we've finished our rounds and everything's alright, how about we go find Roy and the others?"

Zhang Hao put on his helmet, hugged Luna's waist, and said:

"No problem, Sister Luna. I just don't know where Roy and the others have gone. I feel like if they're all acting together, they're bound to cause some trouble."

The three who had already started their journey to Amiya Town: Achoo! Someone's thinking about me/cursing me? It seems we've indeed gone a bit too far, but since we're already here, going back is impossible. Golden Bird Egg, here we come!

After Zhang Hao was seated, Luna turned on the accelerator and drove the all-terrain vehicle to the outer edge of Longbow Valley.

"Sister Luna, have you ever been to the radar station? It seems like I've never seen you go there since I came to the Special Operations Department."

Sitting in the back of the car, Zhang Hao also saw the radar station where he had died many times back then. Realizing he hadn't been there since arriving in this world, he asked Luna:

"Radar station? That's Hafk's territory. Unless we have some mission there, we won't risk going there. What, Xiao Hao, are you interested in that place? Maybe you can go find Rometheus, and he can take you there for a look."

"Oh, I was just a little curious. By the way, Luna, did you hear any birds chirping nearby?"

Chapter 352 The Three Scoundrels of the Grass (4)

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Luna slowed down a bit and began to observe the surrounding environment.

"I think I heard two bird calls. Could there be a bird's nest here? This is near the Superstar Station, is there really a bird's nest here?"

"How about we get out of the car and take a look?"

Zhang Hao also suggested that since this area was considered Hafk's territory, there shouldn't be any danger as long as they actively avoided the patrolling soldiers.

"Hmm... that's fine, but Xiao Hao, you have to stick close to me later. Although there are fewer people at this Super Star Station when there are no transport missions, it's still better to be careful."

Zhang Hao nodded after listening, indicating that he understood.

So Luna parked the car in a relatively easy spot to drive away and took Zhang Hao to the place where the birdsong was coming from the Super Star Station.

"Here's Xiaohao, take this Uzi. This place isn't suitable for you to use your sniper rifle. If there's any danger, just use this gun to mow it down."

Luna took out two Uzis from under the car seat, handed one to Zhang Hao, and then took out two magazines and handed them to Zhang Hao.

There are no secrets under my arrows.

Upon reaching the side of the station, Luna fired a probe arrow directly inside to check if any Hafk Group soldiers were there, thus avoiding them.

However, when the probe arrow landed and they still didn't see anyone, the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

"Luna... Luna, is your probe arrow broken? Such a big station shouldn't be completely deserted, right?"

Looking at Luna's incredulous expression, Zhang Hao cautiously asked:

"This...this is impossible! My detection arrow shouldn't be able to detect even one person, right? Could they all be hiding? That can't be right, Xiao Hao, wait a minute, I'll shoot another arrow in the other direction."

After Luna finished speaking, she took out a probe arrow from behind her back and shot it in another direction.

As the beeping of the probe gradually faded, no one could be seen in the area it had flown over.

Luna: What's going on? My arrow is broken?

Zhang Hao: Oh no, it seems like everything under Luna's arrows is now a secret.

"Sister Luna, maybe it's not a problem with the probe arrow. Maybe everyone inside is in a meeting? Do you think that's possible?"

Seeing that Luna was almost depressed, Zhang Hao quickly pulled her aside to comfort her. It's true that we've been here for so long and haven't heard a single footstep. Maybe those Hafk soldiers really aren't even in this Super Star Station.

"Really...really? It does seem like that's possible. Let's be careful and go in to check. Maybe there really isn't anyone inside."

Luna nodded. The bird's nest and such were no longer important. She had to go inside and see if there was really no one in this Super Star Station. Surely her proud probe arrows couldn't have been blocked by the Hafk Group in some way.

If that's the case, then I need to go back and find Mai Xiaowen to properly decipher Hafk's blocking technology.

Luna: Although I hate to admit it, Mai Xiaowen's skills in this area are truly impeccable. If that's really the case, I... I'll just have to send Xiao Hao to her for a day to help me decipher the code.

Mai Xiaowen: Oh! You're letting Xiao Hao out? Luna, your awareness is pretty good, but that's not enough! I need you to guard the door for me and prevent that tiger girl Zoya from barging in and disturbing my happy time with Xiao Hao.

As the two ventured deeper into the Super Star Station, the three scoundrels nearby also heard the sound of Luna's probe arrow.

"Hey Dragon, didn't that beeping sound just now sound a lot like Luna's probe arrow?"

At this moment, the three of them were carefully leaning against the rock, cautiously walking towards the sound of birds chirping not far away.
