Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 149 The Rebels' Purpose

Early in the morning, Teppei, along with Ying, Paimon, and the sleepy Sines, set out on the journey to Haiqi Island.

Paimon poked Hines who kept yawning.

"You didn't go to bed late last night, did you? Why are you so sleepy?"

Ying looked at Hines and for some reason thought of Goro. This morning, she and Paimon went to ask Goro what he had talked about with Hines last night, but Goro hesitated and didn't say anything useful.

Considering the current state of Xines, hiss~

Boom,

Hines punched Ying on the head. Judging from Ying's expression just now, this guy was definitely thinking about something unhealthy.

Teppei controlled the ship's course and turned to look at Hines.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, right? There's some dry food in the back of the cabin. You can eat some first. At our current speed, we'll probably reach Haiqi Island by the afternoon."

"That's so thoughtful, Teppei."

Hines was generous with his praise. After all, if Teppei hadn't prepared food, he would have had to eat fruit.

The time on the ship was still a bit long, and even the energetic Paimon was lying in the cabin motionless out of boredom.

Not to mention Zheping who was driving the boat.

"Great! We're finally here!"

The moment he saw the coastline, Zheping felt that even the sand of Haiqi Island was so beautiful, much more beautiful than the endless sea.

It took some time to find the port, and the four-person trip to Haiqi Island finally began.

With Zheping leading the way, there would naturally be no problem of getting lost. As they walked along the road, Zheping suddenly raised his hand and pointed.

"See there?"

Hines followed the direction of Teppei's finger and saw that there seemed to be some shells growing on the cliff, and a waterfall was flowing down from the side. If he looked up a little, he could see the tall gate of the shrine.

......

"This map is so well made, it's really beautiful."

"Let's not talk about whether it looks good or not, I just want to know if those shells are real?"

"Your question...I'm afraid even the planners can't explain it, right?"

......

Zheping looked at the magnificent Coral Palace and spoke with pride.

"This is the Coral Palace of our Haiqi Island! The Lord of the Coral Palace is inside, giving advice to the resistance army. We can cross from the bridge in front. Come quickly."

When the group arrived at the Coral Palace, Xinhai was discussing food supplies and military expansion with the rebel soldiers.

From the conversation between the two, it was learned that a stranger had donated a batch of supplies to the rebels.

Unlike Xinhai and Zheping's doubts, Ying already has his own guess that this batch of supplies is most likely the work of Linghua.

But since Linghua did not take the initiative to reveal her identity, Ying did not make it public.

Looking at Xinhai who had accepted all the supplies of unknown origin without thinking, Hines sighed. It seemed that the situation of the rebels was more difficult than he thought.

Moreover, can the goal of resisting the Eye Hunting Order really gather such a huge force?

Or is this just a pretext for war, a way to win over more allies?

Hines rubbed his forehead gently. These things were not mentioned in the plot. If he wanted to find out, he could only ask himself.

When Xines came back to his senses, Xinhai and Ying's conversation was almost over. Xinhai was asking the three of them what they thought.

"...As long as the Eye Hunting Order remains, we will not give up our resistance. Now, I want to confirm again. After learning about the current situation of Haiqi Island and the resistance forces, are you still willing to fight alongside us?"

Ying put one hand on her chest and agreed very seriously. Xines acted a little casually, but Xinhai didn't mind. She looked at Ying,

"Okay, now, I officially appoint you as the captain of the Swordfish Squad 2 of the Haiqi Island Special Operations Team..."

After saying that, Xinhai looked at Xines.

"Hines, you are strong enough to fight the general. I only ask one thing of you. Do what you want to do."

Hines raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being Xinhai, he actually delegated power to this extent.

"Thank you very much, Master Xinhai."

Since Xinhai gave face to Xines, he naturally had to reciprocate.

Teppei talks about how important Swordfish Squad 2 is and how Hines is the first rebel to have the right to act freely.

Even Paimon felt the envy in Teppei's words. After a brief farewell, Ying planned to go to the Swordfish Second Division base to see his cheap team members.

"You go first, I'll come find you later."

Hines waved goodbye to Ying and Paimon for the time being, and Zheping was also assigned other tasks by Xinhai.

Xinhai looked at Xines, folded his arms,

"Do you have any other questions?"

Hines restrained his smile.

"I want to know, is the purpose of the resistance really just to rebel against the Eye Hunting Order?"

Xin Hai was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Xines stayed just to ask this.

"Of course, isn't that why you and Ying joined us?"

Hines looked at the soldiers passing by outside the shrine.

"For people like them who lack the Eye of God, does the Eye Hunting Order have any effect on them? Why are they willing to risk their lives to resist an insignificant decree?"

Xinhai was silent for a moment, then brought Xines to the reception room in the shrine. The two sat at opposite ends of the table, and Xinhai spoke.

"I think Teppei should have told you the main composition of the resistance army."

Hines nodded. As the base camp of the rebels, the main source of troops on Haiqi Island is naturally the residents of the island.

Xinhai poured a cup of hot water for Xines and himself, and said slowly,

“Haiqi Island is not actually an island in the true sense, it is a huge coral…”

"...So the most important problem facing Haiqi Island is food. Corals can't grow enough food..."

Hines secretly added in his heart, except for radishes.

Xinhai took a sip of the water in the cup and sighed.

"So compared to the Eye Hunting Order, Haiqi Island is more afraid of the Closure Order. With the sea route blocked, the source of food has become a problem. However, among the many islands in Inazuma, only Haiqi Island is the most affected by the Closure Order..."

"And you just said it, without the same interests, how could anyone support us?"

Xines raised her head and looked at Xinhai. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"So you came up with the Eye Hunting Order, using it to impress the forces outside Haiqi Island and gain assistance."

For example, social practice.

Xin Hai slowly stood up. At this moment, she was like a military strategist sitting in the back, planning the strategy.

"That's right, the lockdown order only affected Haiqi Island, but under the Eye Hunting Order, all islands are equal. I'm very fortunate that the general implemented the Eye Hunting Order at the same time as the lockdown order, thus preventing Haiqi Island from having to fight alone..."

Hines looked up at Xin Hai and asked suddenly for no reason,

"You know where that batch of supplies came from, right?"

Xin Hai shook his head and chuckled. He was not surprised at all that Xines guessed the source of the supplies.

"Aside from the Three Commissioners, who else could possibly be capable of delivering such a large batch of supplies across the front lines? It's just that he wants to hide his identity, so there's no reason for me to reveal it."

Hines nodded silently. This was the rebels' military advisor. She knew everything.
