Chapter 159: Of course it's moving monsters
Seeing that he had successfully aroused Yu Changsheng's interest, the thief was very excited, nodded hurriedly, and swore an oath:
"You heard it right, those yellow monsters are indeed being used as strategic supplies. But...... You've got to let me go first, or I'll only have so much to tell you! Because what I'm going to say next, whether it's me who says it, or you who hear it in my ears, will be in great danger! ”
After saying that, the thief's attitude became very resolute.
Yu Changsheng took a cigarette in his mouth and said in a deep voice:
"Are you sure you have the capital to negotiate conditions?"
The thief swallowed, but said in a strong manner:
"No matter what you do, I won't say it anyway, or you can just send me to the investigation team, and I don't care anyway......"
"Admire! I admire hard bones! ”
As he spoke, Yu Changsheng increased his strength again.
"Ahh
The screams resounded through the streets and alleys, but Yu Changsheng knew that in the current situation in Yelan Town, no one would come out to meddle in their affairs.
After some torture, the thief succumbed to the soft for a shorter time than Yu Changsheng imagined.
Yu Changsheng also listened to the boring begging for mercy for a while, and then slowly let go of it.
The thief grinned, hesitated, and finally told the ins and outs of the matter:
At the beginning of all this, in fact, it started with the establishment of a military base in Juhuang Mountain.
After the establishment of the military base in Juhuang Mountain, the Empire's third-class ironclad regiment and additional local armed forces were also successfully stationed in Yelan Town, and overnight, the military and political status of this humble small city jumped several times.
In less than a year, the economy has also developed rapidly.
Since then, the military base built by Qiu Chi Guo in Juhuang Mountain has regularly delivered certain supplies to the Empire, and these materials are very tightly packaged, transported by superalloy chariots, and escorted by the elite squad of the Iron Armor Regiment.
Sometimes, for the sake of safety, the passing caravans in Yelan Town will also quietly follow the back of this convoy and exchange materials with the cities along the road, and the ironclad regiment seems to have acquiesced in their behavior, and sometimes, some escort officers will also rub oil from these merchants on the grounds of being secretive, and if they refuse, they will often be expelled.
Bandits are rampant in the Harsh Wasteland, and of course these merchants will not be stingy with this little money, so they also add a lot of extra income to the escort officers of the Ironclad Regiment. Therefore, under the protection of this ironclad regiment, the trade route between Yelan Town and Tianhu City was very safe, and merchants gathered, and many inns were even derived from this trade route.
Later, after a while, these secret convoys of the empire were sometimes hidden in the caravans. As a result, the Imperial convoy provided security, and the Yelan Town caravan provided a cover, and the two sides complemented each other.
It is precisely because of this that later, except for the local people in Yelan Town, the outside world thought that Yelan Town was the trade center of the Empire, and a huge caravan was just an ordinary caravan of the Empire.
However, there is naturally no impermeable wall in the world, and it didn't take long for some idle thieves in Yelan Town to also set their sights on this batch of tempting secret materials.
The thief in front of Yu Changsheng was one of them. He used to be obsessed with money for a while, and he even remembered the materials secretly escorted by the ironclad regiment, so he found a few equally bold guys and planned a "big business".
According to their stepping point, the staff of the Juhuangshan Military Base are all sergeants of the imperial army, and the labor required in the process of production, packing, and transportation is also from the internal personnel of the empire, so it is almost difficult to attack this transportation team.
But Heaven always leaves the opportunity to those who are prepared, whether that person is good or bad!
The thief and his companions had waited for such an opportunity.
One day, the Imperial troops stationed at the military base seemed to have been attacked suddenly, and for a while there were heavy casualties, most of the dead and wounded, and the location of Yelan Town was too remote, and there was no way to replenish the personnel of the military base in a short time.
But it seems that for some reason, the transport cannot be delayed. As a result, the imperial army made an exception to directly requisition labor in Yelan Town, but for the sake of secrecy, the labor force of Juhuangshan was still active military and had not changed. And these requisitioned laborers were only responsible for a simple task, and they loaded the large iron boxes that they transported down from Juhuang Mountain.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the thief immediately got into the loading team with his fox friends and dogs.
According to their plan, they had found the best blacksmith in town before they acted, and created a replica that was exactly the same as the large military iron box. At the time of packing, a truck with this large iron box was parked near the loading and unloading point. After that, the accomplices found a way to cause trouble and distract the supervising officers, while the others secretly changed the large iron box and finally loaded it into a truck and took it away.
Due to the lack of manpower in the Imperial army and the limited number of officers under their supervision, it was difficult to take care of the overall situation, which led to the easy success of these thieves' stealing operations.
In this way, they successfully stole a whole box of military supplies unloaded from Juhuang Mountain.
But what they didn't expect was that after these little thieves transported the big iron box to a remote place outside the city, they were about to open it and share the spoils, but unexpectedly, a terrible accident happened at this time.
The thieves were still immersed in the joy of being done, and naturally they couldn't wait to pick the lock on the iron box.
None of them expected that what awaited them was not countless gold and silver treasures or magical resources, but a terrible nightmare in the box.
The moment the iron box opened, a yellow translucent monster popped out of it.
This slimy monster looks a little stupid, but it is extremely powerful, and it directly twists a thief's head and swallows it into its stomach with its mouth open. The other thieves were so frightened that they ran into the truck, pulled out their shotguns and shot the monster.
However, this level of attack did not damage the monster, as the bullet could not penetrate the monster's body at all.
The few who were still alive had to run wildly, but fortunately the monster seemed to be sluggish and didn't run fast, and they eventually escaped.
It didn't take long for news of hunters being killed in the mountains and forests to begin to spread in the town, but soon the Empire's troops captured the monster, and the incident was gradually forgotten.
However, after experiencing such a terrible thing once, the thief who was caught by Yu Changsheng will be afraid of that military base and passing trucks from now on, and every time he has a nightmare, he will also think of this terrible monster.
After the thief finished speaking, Yu Changsheng snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked:
"So, because of your theft, there was such a monster in town?"
"That's right! So when I heard that someone was missing in the town, and it was a yellow sticky monster, I knew that this monster must be the same thing as the monster in the iron box we stole before, this guy is too dangerous! The thief said worriedly.
Yu Changsheng stared at the thief and said in a deep voice:
"If you're so afraid of that monster, why do you dare to come out and steal something? Really don't want to die for money? ”
The thief smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"Well, let's be honest with you, don't look at your Demon Guards are very powerful, but those monsters ...... You really can't handle it, they're invulnerable, and the Imperial Army must be trying to transform them into biological weapons! However, despite their ferocity, they also have a significant weakness, which is that they are very slow, so most of the time they will quietly use their sticky bodies to slowly approach their targets and then launch a sneak attack. As long as I keep my guard and pay attention to my surroundings, I won't be caught by this monster! ”
"Oh...... I see...... Do you know where this kind of monster often haunts? Yu Changsheng asked.
"Of course I do! It seems to be particularly fond of humid places, and many of the residents who have had accidents live near the reservoir. That's why I dare to come here to move things with confidence! The thief said with some smugness.
"Hey, you're really good at moving things, let's go, let's move something with me!" Yu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Huh? Moving things? What are you moving? "The thief already had a bad premonition.
"Of course it's moving that monster!" Yu Changsheng said meaningfully.
