Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: A hard-to-understand relationship.

Exusiai. Real name: Lemuel (Lemu). She is an excellent employee of Penguin Logistics, and her favorite food is apple pie. Although her codename is Exusiai, she cannot use seven swords at the same time. But if it's seven guns, no problem. However, she is also Luo Zhen's childhood friend, and it can be said that the two are very close, so much so that they grew up wearing the same pair of pants. Therefore, Luo Zhen naturally knows everything about her. Not to mention her height, weight, and hobbies. He even knows how many moles Lemu has on her body, whether they are star-shaped or round, including some that cannot be seen with a mirror. The relationship between the two is very good. After all, she ran away from Laterano with Luo Zhen. For the angels, who are old-fashioned and strict, most people would not leave Laterano unless necessary, let alone this kind of behavior that is almost like running away from home. By leaving everything in her hometown and deciding to travel the world with him, the relationship between the two is very clear to outsiders. These two angels must be husband and wife. That's what everyone thinks when they look at them.

But right now... Luo Zhen: "Your Ladyship Lemu, the apple pie I made has arrived." "Hmm..." Miss Lemu, sitting with her arms crossed on the sofa, watched Luo Zhen busily bringing out the freshly baked apple pie in front of her coldly. Not to mention Luo Zhen's cooking skills, Lemu, who grew up with him, was very familiar with those smells. But today, she didn't look very happy. No... she was trying to be unhappy at all, even with her favorite food placed in front of her. She had no intention of reaching out to grab the pie, but still raised her chin towards Luo Zhen and opened her mouth. "Ah~"

"..." The corner of Luo Zhen's mouth twitched. He really wanted to pretend he didn't see. But Your Ladyship Lemu's hand grabbed his thigh and pointed to her mouth. "Ah~ Ah~! Ah!!" "Why are you being so persistent..." Luo Zhen had to cast aside his cowardice and cut the apple pie into small pieces before feeding it into the mouth of the little angel in front of him. But it seemed our angel was still not satisfied. She chewed with puffed cheeks a few times and opened her mouth again. "Ah~" ...Is she trying to act like a little child, or is she trying to be cuter? Luo Zhen had no other choice but to serve his childhood friend by feeding her half a piece of apple pie. In the end, Luo Zhen put a straw in and happily gave Lemu more than half a glass of soy milk to drink before she let out a long, satisfied sigh. "Okay!☆ Revived!!" Her expression brightened instantly. She flicked the ends of her long red hair towards Luo Zhen's neck. "I'm back, Luo Zhen~ It's clear I've worked so hard. The wind and sand outside were so strong, and that hot weather almost ruined my skin. But the moment I got home and was happy, I saw you playing the role of a cheating lover with my best friend. How are you going to compensate me for that?"

"Isn't what I'm doing now considered atonement..." Luo Zhen brushed away the angel's hair that was tickling his neck before starting to grumble softly. "And it was just a misunderstanding. Nothing happened between me and Texas... sigh, but it's a pity that nothing happened."

"Wow! Everyone, look at this shameless man! He dares to say it's a pity that nothing happened in front of his super cute childhood friend! This is pure trash!" Lemu narrowed her eyes at him with contempt. Anyway, Texas had already run away. She left the task of persuading Lemu to him and ran off after claiming she was going to his shop. But Luo Zhen knew that Lemu wasn't really angry at him. It was just their daily routine to argue every day, like an old married couple who had been together for a long time. Lemu lay on Luo Zhen's lap naturally while playing with his hair. "Because I was away for a few days, I entrusted Texas to take care of you. But you took that opportunity to trick my best friend into sleeping with you. Isn't that a little cruel? Even though Texas looks cold, she's actually a very cute and gullible person. You're not allowed to flirt with her, you know."

"I told you it was a misunderstanding... and I didn't trick her, you know," Luo Zhen stopped the angel who wanted to scratch his neck. "Who could be like you?" Lemu nodded and laughed. "Of course! Because Texas is mine, so I'll never give her to someone else easily. At the very least, I must get 500 million Lungmen dollars as a gift! Then I will consider their relationship further."

"Are you a mother trying to sell her own daughter for a living?" Luo Zhen slapped Lemu's forehead with annoyance, and the two started to fight. Anyone with normal eyesight, seeing the closeness between these two, would immediately decide that they were a married couple. But the two never admitted to it. It should be called a habit since childhood, and perhaps they no longer saw each other as the opposite sex. Although Luo Zhen understood objectively that Lemu was a beautiful woman, if she took a few sexy photos, she would surely be able to attack him. But she never did anything like that, which was really strange. The same probably went for Lemu. She never treated Luo Zhen like a man, and she still hugged, hugged, and hugged him, still thinking of him as her big brother or beloved childhood friend, probably.

After messing around for a while, Lemu stretched her waist and lay in a comfortable position. "This job was really tiring. The client I contacted was so far away. I drove a motorcycle in the wilderness for hours. My hair is full of fur!" "My hair is so rough now. Ah... I really want to cut this red hair off. I want to cut it short!!"

Luo Zhen, hearing this, was very surprised. "Then just cut your hair? When you came out of Laterano, you said you always wanted to cut your hair, didn't you? Why haven't you cut it yet?" "..." Lemu glanced at him without saying anything before muttering, "You damned man. You have no hesitation at all. It's clear you like long hair. Who do you think I'm keeping my hair long like this for..." Luo Zhen: "What did you say just now? The wind was too strong, I couldn't hear you." The furious angel punched Luo Zhen in the waist. Her voice was loud enough for him to hear, but she knew he was pretending not to hear her. This made Lemu very angry, but she wasn't really angry at him.

Luo Zhen pretended to change the subject and turned to ask about the job. "The client said they were near Chernobog. I read the news and found that there's chaos happening there. Did you run into any trouble when you got there?" "No, the incident happened in the city, but I didn't go into the city, so I didn't see anything." Lemu turned back and continued, "Oh, and this time our client wasn't an ordinary person. At first, I thought they were outsiders who wanted to sneak into Lungmen like always. But when I arrived at the designated coordinates, you know what I found? I found a giant mobile transport ship there!! It was so big, it was like a small mobile city!" Lemu's eyes shone when she talked about it.

A world full of natural disasters, from meteorites, earthquakes, to volcanic eruptions. Moreover, most of these disasters were related to Originium stone, and after the disaster passed, what would follow was long-term pollution from Originium stone, making it impossible for ordinary people to live. To cope with the irresistible natural disasters, the cities in this world were built on platforms that could move like giant mobile ships. The direction and scale of the natural disasters were predicted by professional natural disaster messengers, so the mobile city status could be avoided in advance. This was the way of survival for the people in this world. But this type of mobile city was basically a state-level client with an independent land operator, which was a first for Penguin Logistics to receive a mission from such a big shot.

Lemu continued, "I also met their leader, who was a super cute little rabbit. The mission content they wanted from us was just to be a guide in the city of Lungmen, hoping to avoid the dangerous places there." "Being very careful, aren't they," Luo Zhen said. "That means their ship might just be stopping by to resupply in Lungmen temporarily. Do you know which country they're from? And what's their purpose? Judging by the fact that they hired us, it means they need to avoid the officers of that guard unit. It means they must have something unusual with them."

Lemu shook her head while replying, "It seems they're not from any country. They claim to be from [Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company], a pharmaceutical company that protects freedom and treats the infected equally." "Rhode Island, you say?"
