"Okay, that's for now. The escort mission is over, so remember to give a good review. ”

As soon as he returned to the Huayuan Fortress, Zheng Li received a communication from Researcher Ke and his entourage, who were still in the city.

Originally, it was expected to go to them, fulfill their promise, and participate in their experiments.

But accidents always come very suddenly........ Dr. Ke's experimental base was completely destroyed.

Who did this to you? Well, my old acquaintances, the rampaging dragons.

Due to food and resource limitations, dragon groups generally do not focus, but more advanced dragon species will forcibly suppress individual desires and focus on groups in a short period of time.

That undoubtedly became a disaster for mortal races and low-level dragons, of course, low-level dragons have limited IQ, they will only hate their leader, and too high-ranking dragon species will become the object of reverence...... In a sense, the "Purple Crown" was also pitted by the Black Dragon King.

Some time ago, the gathered dragons became a disaster for the biological chain, and ordinary wild creatures could not satisfy the appetite of the dragons, and towns and population gathering places naturally suffered.

Dr. Ke's experimental field base is in this world, not far away, and it is unfortunate to be in the gathering area of the dragon herd....... Naturally, he was attacked by the dragons.

"So, has your base been destroyed by the dragons? It's bad luck. ”

Before, when Zheng Li asked like this, Researcher Ma's expression was quite subtle.

"Uh......"

He squeezed for a long time, thinking that there was no need to keep secrets, and finally said.

"In fact, the experimental field is the focus, and many of the natural plants and crops in it are rare goods collected from several worlds, and they are cultivated in a directional manner using local natural rules to study several medicines and alchemical products....... Dragons don't eat plants at all. ”

So what happened? Zheng Li was a little surprised, behind the liaison, Researcher Ke was roaring, making a digital human researcher angry like this, how could there be no loss.

“....... The dragons mainly smashed our guardrails and barriers, dispersed the local guards we had hired, and found that there was only some grass inside that could not be walked........"

Isn't that great? It's not enough to repair the guardrail, and the loss is quite small.

Researcher Ma's expression became more and more subtle.

“...... I don't even know what to say. The walls and guards were gone, and the local villagers not far away found out about the situation and rushed into the wall, taking all the crops and experimental equipment. They seem to have sold scrap metal and second-hand household appliances for experimental equipment, and crops and special plants have either been eaten or fed to livestock. Just yesterday, we were contacted by the escaped local guards. ”

Well, Zheng Li's expression has also become very subtle, this development is too realistic, and it is really difficult to evaluate.

"Kill the trash and the untouchables!"

The roars coming from behind were a bit of a loss of face for the researchers.

“...... I'm sorry, for the sake of this experimental base, Mr. Ke pressed his real estate, and the result was ....... Anyway, we'll stay here for a while, and then hire mercenaries to escort us to the experimental base to make up as much cost as possible. ”

At this point, the communication was obviously chaotic over there, Zheng Lidu watched the old man pull a guard of Huayuan City and shouted, "Send me troops to kill them and take back my seeds", it is difficult to say how it will develop next.

However, it is estimated that it is impossible to disrupt the stable relationship with the local residents for the sake of an experimental base, and Dr. Ke estimates that he will not have time to worry about other things for a long time.

As for the recovery of lost items and materials....... Even if Zheng Li didn't use his brain, he felt that instead of sweeping the army, it would be much better to bring more money or equivalents and buy them directly from the local villagers, and maybe the total amount of seeds received in the end would be more than the ones lost.

On another level, Zheng Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention, he was still a little worried about what these crazy researchers were doing to him.

Now, by the time they have time, they have long forgotten about themselves.

"Ding."

But suddenly, a short message came over, and as soon as it was opened, it was still an old acquaintance.

"An escort commission, take me back."

Dr. Snake expressed her goal very directly, and the snake head on her head hung listlessly, obviously a little frustrated.

"Say that the commission is so outside, just pay you back, escort ..... for free"

"No, I'm not stupid, my favor is not worth more than this mercenary?"

After getting along for a long time, Zheng Li felt that she could see Ms. Snake's expression, was she smiling? Feeling good?

"Tsk, it's where it is, and we'll leave when the supplies are finished, so come over quickly. The room is still for you. ”

Zheng Li and his entourage are going to complete their hunting tasks, so it is naturally not suitable to take the "boss" with them.

I left them in the Flower Garden Fortress in the safe zone, and I originally planned to finish the hunt and then escort them to the experimental base.

Now that the situation has turned out to be like this, Researcher Ke must have other plans....... Whatever he was going to do, it wasn't something he could do anytime soon, and it was a direct violation of the original contract.

He was also very simple, and directly regarded it as an excellent evaluation and completed the escort task ahead of schedule, which made Zheng Li, who was a mercenary for the first time, breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, he had a job that he was not used to doing quickly.

"How's it selling?"

“...... It's subtle. The people here only watched and did not offer the price, as if they saw through us and could not afford to delay. ”

Zheng Li rubbed his eyebrows, this is really a bit out of line.

Killing the Purple Crown, a trophy of this level, will not be just a little material.

At that time, after making sure that no one wanted to gamble on the sword and feed the sword on the spot, Zheng Li and his entourage directly tied the dragon corpse to the outside of the firefly cart and dragged it back directly.

This is also standard practice for many warbands to dispose of large loot...... But then, Zheng Li also encountered the standard trouble that the warband encountered at such a time.

"Bastards, these professional second-hand dealers."

Zheng Li is new here, and there is no stable shipping channel, if the purple crown is broken up and sold in the market, not only will the value plummet, but it is not a matter of a day or two.

The middlemen who can eat stably are obviously used to this situation, and they wait patiently for the seller to take the initiative to reduce the price.

No price reduction? The spiritual material will decrease over time until it reaches the average level in the city, or you can try to bring the whole dragon back.

Zheng Li was a little helpless, there was really no way to do this kind of thing, unless he could conjure up a professional talent to handle this part now.

"It seems that in the establishment of future warbands, professional businessmen will also be needed, and I can understand why those warbands should set up professional affiliated warbands. Looks like we're going to get one too. ”
