Chapter 696: The First Clues
Although this no-man's land is a paradise for adventurers, it is also basically a place that is not regulated by law.
And most of the people who come here are rich second generations, it is inevitable that there will be no money-seeking, and even over the years, the mortality rate of adventurers here has increased year by year, which should be very strange, and the relevant departments have also noticed this, and have increased supervision in this forest city.
But the problem is that these adventurers want to enter no man's land, and the relevant departments can't stop them, after all, it's not a crime.
So after going back and forth, there is no good solution to this matter, and more importantly, most of the missing adventurers will not call the police but choose to deal with it themselves, which undoubtedly brings great problems to the relevant departments to solve these things.
"Otherwise, let's not go with them, anyway, everyone's purpose is different, and I don't know when to leave when they look like this!" Xiao Xia frowned and said.
Wang Xiaoyong immediately raised his eyebrows, his thoughts were somewhat the same as Xiao Xia's, he was not worried that these guys would harm them, after all, they were all strong and not afraid of each other's actions, but Wang Xiaoyong and they were short of time and could not waste it on these people.
It's just that Officer Chen shook his head slightly, "Since you're here, let's wait, anyway, the weather is a little bad now, even if we set off now, the speed of the journey is quite slow." β
Wang Xiaoyong really glanced at her meaningfully, and then leaned into her ear, "Are you hiding something from me?" Wang Xiaoyong asked softly.
Officer Chen glared at him, "Don't you talk so close to my ear, don't you know that people will itch?"
Wang Xiaoyong glanced at her a little helplessly, "What I said is serious, if you don't answer me directly, then I'll take Xiao Xia away now." β
Officer Chen immediately glanced at Wang Xiaoyong helplessly, "You guy, are you so ruthless to keep me here!" Forget it, I'll tell you, in fact, this is also a task given to us by the superiors, the reason why I didn't tell you before, I was afraid that you wouldn't agree to stay, since you asked so, then I'll tell you a good talk, in recent years, there have been more and more adventurers here, but the number of murders in the no-man's land is also increasing year by year, most of them are some rich second generations, and there are a lot of hijackings, so this time, it can be regarded as completing this task by the way, and see what is so greasy here. β
Wang Xiaoyong was immediately speechless, he had already guessed this before, "Since there is such chaos here, why don't you send someone over to check it earlier, don't tell me that you are the only available person on your side." β
Officer Chen also sighed, "The Northwest Region is already chaotic, and you also know this, except for the Hongze Group, there are simply a bunch of chaos, and now, the most important problem is still on the Humen side, where is the energy to focus on this!" And this is not a matter of urgency, since those rich second generations do not choose to call the police, it is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and the above is not to let us solve the case this time, but to report the situation we have mastered, so that there is a little bit of the above, as for when to solve this problem, it is not what we care about!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyong's face softened a little, if he was allowed to stay here to solve the case, then he would definitely not accept this order, and if he understood some of the situation, then the initiative was here, even if he knew where, he would definitely not waste more time on this, but Wang Xiaoyong still waited patiently.
Since the number of people is enough, there is no need to drag it out any longer, and if there is a problem with this team, they should hurry as soon as possible, after all, if they are near Lin Cheng, it is not easy for them to do it, and Wang Xiaoyong also found that the reason why the other party invited them is probably because of the tent in their hands, after all, this kind of tent is a rare commodity, and ordinary rich second generations can't get it, which also proves the value of the three of them in disguise.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyong was a little helpless, and Minister Luo inadvertently brought them a timed bomb.
Half an hour later, the captain began to gather, everyone first did some simple uninhibitedness, and then led more than twenty people on the road, not only they were as if they had made an appointment, but the rest of the fifty-six teams also slowly headed towards the outside of Lin Cheng.
Wang Xiaoyong looked at the sky and it was already afternoon at this time, it seemed that they had a good time, and they could at least walk dozens of kilometers at night, which was convenient for them to start, and the three of them followed slowly behind.
In fact, in addition to the previous team leaders, the rest of these rich second generations are much worse in terms of physical fitness, don't look at their enthusiasm for adventure, but that's just a lot of enthusiasm, often go out for a day or two is bitter, and there are very few who can really persevere.
Although this forest city is backward in other aspects, but this city wall is absolutely tall, and the surrounding city walls are basically more than ten meters, so in this city, they really can't feel the real power of the storm, as soon as they appeared, some of the rich second generation's faces immediately changed, and the howling wind almost made it difficult for them to move an inch, but under the continuous mobilization of the captain, they still slowly moved forward.
It can be seen that the captain is still quite familiar with the terrain in this area, and the roads he chooses are some low-lying areas, so that he will try to avoid the invasion of wind and sand, and it can be seen that their team leaders are very afraid that the rich second generation will fall behind, which is obviously a little abnormal, a real adventure team, will definitely not want to have people who drag their feet.
The three of them walked at the end, looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn, now it seems that this adventure team is definitely a problem, but since the other party did not do it, then they can only wait patiently, and the most important thing is that the direction of this adventure team is similar to the direction of going to the snow mountain, otherwise, Wang Xiaoyong may not waste more time on this adventure team.
After only half an hour of walking, a young boy sat on the ground, refusing to get up at all, shouting to return to Lin Cheng, at this time the captain walked over slowly, "It's only been half an hour now, can't you hold on? What kind of adventurer are you?" said the captain with a frown.
The young man kept shaking his head, "I just want to come and see it, and I don't plan to really take risks, anyway, I don't want to go forward, I have to return to Lin City before dark." β
This rich second generation has not seen the situation clearly, and these words are also a little tough, after hearing this, the captain's face immediately became gloomy.
"Now that they're all out, it's not like you can go back if you want to!"
When the young man heard this, he also raised his head, "What! I just chose to go with you, don't I have the right to go back?"
Speaking of this, he took the hand of the girl on the side and wanted to go towards Lin Cheng, but as soon as he turned around, two men blocked his way, it was the two people who took the lead in the front of the team before, at this time these two people sneered, looking at the man and the girl next to him.
Obviously, this is a couple, coming here is just to pursue romance and want to adventure together, but they didn't expect to really take this step after they found out how naΓ―ve their previous ideas were, not only is there no romance here but there will be life danger, and the harsh environment here also makes them feel uncomfortable, it can be seen that these two people have better skin, it is obvious that they should be southerners, and they should come here as a tourist, but they didn't expect it to be such a scene.
Although this rich second generation is a little arrogant, he is not stupid, and he obviously sees that there is a problem here, so his expression has softened.
"Two big brothers, we didn't have enough ideas before, but we really can't go on, let's make it convenient!"
After saying this, the boy took out two wades of money from his wallet and handed them to the two men, these money is not small, I am afraid that there are at least a few thousand yuan, the consumption level in the northwest region is not high, and it is a lot of wealth, but the two men just sneered and didn't look at the money, this rich second generation immediately understood what was going on, put the money away, and then slipped in front of the captain.
"Captain, it's all our fault, just let us go!"
The man actually pleaded, and the rest of the adventurers were also vigilant in their hearts, but in this case, no one dared to act rashly, Wang Xiaoyong glanced back inadvertently, at this time, the reason for the wind and sand was too big, there was no trace of Lin Cheng, so these people dared to be so arrogant.
After only half an hour of departure, they couldn't help but make a move, of course, this also had something to do with the young couple, if they weren't in a hurry to return, the captain wouldn't be in a hurry to do it, and the captain sneered when he saw the man's behavior.
"You're still an adventurer, who can come here to take an adventure lack this money! Isn't it a shame that you retreated so quickly, and it will also affect morale. β
After hearing this, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the captain was angry for this reason, and even the rich second generation who took the money eased his expression a little.
"But the captain we really can't walk, the wind and sand are too big!"
The captain narrowed his eyes, "You guys take a look at the time first, if you two leave us with physical fitness, I'm afraid you will all be blown away by this wind and sand, and do you have the confidence to return to Lin City? Don't look at us not far, but I guess you will definitely get lost." β
Hearing this, the faces of the two immediately turned pale.
"The captain is right, it's easy to get lost in the sand, especially since they're outsiders for the first time!" said one of the men, smiling.
After hearing this, the two of them didn't dare to return at will.
"That's it, let's go one step further, and then set up camp here temporarily, and when the storm passes tomorrow, I won't stop you if you want to go back, but as a captain, I can't watch you die, my attitude did have some problems before, but it was for your good!" said the captain with a smile.
After hearing this, the rich second generation really showed a grateful look, but Wang Xiaoyong sneered in his heart, just now a few of them were obviously about to start, but they didn't know why they suddenly stopped, and they also made up these reasons as soon as they spoke, but these guys edited lies and didn't need to make drafts.
It seems that they have definitely done such a thing, but this can only be regarded as a small episode, and then everyone continued to walk, and the storm did not mean to stop, but became more and more violent.
