"Alas~"

The next day, in an old weather-modified tower, a member of the Lost Investigation Team came back dejectedly and reported to Johnny Rico: "Sir, we checked, and no Q-bomb was found in this tower."

"..."

Johnny Rico nodded with them and waved for them to go to rest. Then he looked at Guo Yi who was eating with gusto, frowned and asked: "Why hasn't Carl found me yet?"

"How do I know?"

Guo Yi waved his hand and said helplessly: "I only know that he will definitely look for you.

But whether he can find you is another matter.

After all, he is being hunted now."

"hateful."

Johnny Rico vented his frustration on the skewer in his hand, took a big bite, then raised his head and was stunned.

The Lost Investigation Team disappeared, Guo Yi and the others also disappeared. At the same time, someone who shouldn't have appeared also appeared: his girlfriend who had been dead for nearly 20 years.

"Riko..."

"Karl, if you still appear in front of me as Tess, I will definitely beat you up next time we meet!"

Before Carl could speak, Johnny Rico immediately interrupted: "Asshole, I'm not a fool!"

"..."

After Carl heard Johnny Rico's words, he was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "You know it's me?

When did you become so smart?"

"..."

Carl's words made Johnny Rico's face darken, and he cursed angrily: "Wait for Carl, I will definitely beat you up."

"..."

Karl ignored Johnny Rico's words, smiled, returned to his original appearance, and said seriously: "Riko, are we still friends?

Do you still believe..."

"Long story short."

Johnny Rico glanced at Carl, lowered his head and took a bite of the skewers, and said quietly: "Tell me, which old weather modification tower did that damn bastard Amy hide the Q bomb in?"

"..."

Carl looked at Johnny Rico with wide eyes and asked in disbelief: "How do you know?"

"I met a group of amazing people, they told me."

Johnny Rico and Carl raised their eyebrows and laughed: "Aren't you tired of pretending to be cold all day?"

After laughing, Johnny Rico told Carl in detail the origin and purpose of Guo Yi, as well as the exchanges between him and Guo Yi during this period.

At the same time, Johnny Rico also took this opportunity to repair the relationship between him and Carl.

The relationship between Johnny Rico and Carl was not good in the past few years before Guo Yi arrived.

Because Carl had a much higher position than Johnny Rico and knew many secrets, but he couldn't tell them, Johnny Rico felt that Carl had changed and became unattainable.

Plus the last thing...

Carl deceived Carmen's battleship, causing a Zerg Queen to invade the earth.

Although the matter was finally resolved, Johnny Rico also changed from the commander of Earth's L6 space station to the commander of Mars, a remote space station...

Because he did not order the fire in time as required, the battleship where Carmen and Carl were located was destroyed in the universe.

As for this matter, Johnny Rico still hasn't figured out the inside story.

Therefore, the relationship between Johnny Rico and Carl was not good.

But...

Guo Yi told him some things about Karl for the purpose of his subsequent actions.

Therefore, Johnny Rico now understands Carl.

Being at the top, and rising from the grassroots, Carl can only rely on himself for everything. At the same time, Carl can't get too close to Carmen and Johnny Rico...

Only in this way can Carl not implicate Carmen and Johnny Rico when something happens to him.

At the same time, only with such an open relationship can Johnny Rico and Carmen help Carl at the critical moment...

Just like this time.

As for why Carl didn't tell Johnny Rico in private...

It's very simple. Johnny Rico has strong limbs and a simple mind, so Carl dare not say anything.

"...So, you have to change."

After Johnny Rico finished everything, he laughed with Carl: "But, no matter how intelligent you are, you still don't have to rely on me in the end?"

"..."

Karl ignored Johnny Rico's ridicule, but frowned and remained silent for a moment, and then said sternly to him: "I can't contact the people you mentioned...

Rico, are you sure that the purpose of those people is really as simple as you said?"

"Not confirmed."

Johnny Rico shook his head and smiled: "But at least they are working with me to solve the Q bomb problem now.

And, if it weren’t for them, I would be dead.”

"..."

Carl and Johnny Rico looked at each other and nodded slightly: "I understand.

The location of the Q bomb is here, go and get rid of it.

Leave the rest to me."

"Um."

Johnny Rico nodded, then stood up and looked at Karl, emphasizing: "Don't die!

After I solve the Q bomb and reunite with Carmen, I will find a way to rescue you."

"If you come to save me, I will become a wanted criminal in the federation."

After Carl heard Johnny Rico's words, he smiled sincerely: "Don't worry, as long as you solve the Q bomb, I will naturally have a way to clear my grievances."

"good."

"..."

"Karl contacted you?"

Johnny Rico's eyes blurred, and he found that he was still sitting there, about to bite the skewers, and heard Guo Yi's words: "Have you told him about me?"

"Bah~"

Johnny Rico finished the unfinished eating behavior first, and then nodded to Guo Yi: "Well, Carl contacted me just now."

"Did he agree?"

Guo Yi and Johnny Rico had agreed before that when Carl contacted Johnny Rico, they would ask Carl on his behalf if he was willing to help.

If that doesn't work, ask Karl to contact him directly.

Once Karl agrees, he can call the people out.

but……

"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."

"I'm asking you something."

"Tons, tons, tons, tons..."

"..."

Guo Yi looked at Johnny Rico who was engrossed in eating and drinking, his brows jumped, and he said quietly: "Don't tell me, did you forget to ask?"

"..."

Johnny Rico's hands froze and he said weakly: "Karl said he knows, and the rest will be left to him..."

"So, you leave it to him."

Guo Yi clenched his fists and said in a bad tone: "But you don't know whether he agrees or disagrees, right?"

"He should agree."

Johnny Rico avoided Guo Yi's gaze and whispered: "I know him, he will agree."

"..."

Seeing that Johnny Rico really didn't get a clear answer from Carl, Guo Yi lowered his fist and shook his head helplessly: "Yeah, working for nothing."
