Chapter 588: The Problem

In the early morning, after a whole night of roaring in the streets outside, the undead finally died down and hid in all corners again.

Although the sun can't really hurt the undead, they still don't like to move in broad daylight unless there's delicious meat nearby.

Xu Yichen kicked and woke up the pirate Will, who was playing a bunk in the hallway, the man who was said to have been a pirate leader before looked to be in his early thirties, but was actually in his forties.

Even in such an environment, the brown curly hair still maintained its own shape, and in the face of abundant water resources, the pirate Will worked tirelessly, using a wooden barrel to make more than a dozen buckets of clean water and give himself a bath.

In his words, be a down-to-earth person and go on the road cleanly.

Will, who had personally been to the vicinity of the large mine to reconnoitre, was pessimistic about his survival rate on this trip.

This can be seen from the fact that after he got up, he began to meticulously arrange his clothes, every wrinkle was gently smoothed by him with the power of lightning, and the stained places were washed white last night.

It took the pirate Will fifteen minutes to clean himself up, and put on a tricorne hat that he had found in the room, as spirited as a pirate about to set sail for plunder.

Xu Yichen smiled, quietly watching the pirate Will waste time eating breakfast, and easily killed his share.

When the sun fully released its own light, the volunteer team promised by Guo Yunfeng was in place.

Knocking on the door was Guo Yunfeng's adjutant, Ed, whose full name is Ed Williams, is the descendant of a bankrupt little nobleman, who was involved in this disaster less than half a year after becoming a professional.

Storm's End is a new mining city, and a failed exploration and a sudden earthquake can cause the bankruptcy of a new aristocracy.

These little aristocrats, who had invested all their belongings, were jokingly called 'lease aristocrats' by the big nobles above.

Eddard brought with him a team of fifteen people, including four Transcendents, and eleven Steelwalker infantrymen.

One of the Transcendents would be stationed here with seven Steelwalker infantry to protect the precious well.

In fact, these people were stunned when they saw the sparse and clean pirate Will, and they soon realized the hidden benefits of the position.

Until the survivors of the Steelwalker Camp open up a safe path here, the eight garrisons will have exclusive access to the well.

The survivors who had been through the previous drinking water restrictions had been in a state of half-starvation, with sallow skin, chapped lips, and a dry voice in their voices.

"My lord, we have been ordered by the captain to fully cooperate with your actions for the next three days." Ed licked his lips and looked at Will with some envy.

In fact, he was not the only one, but a whole fifteen people, all of whom were looking at him with such eyes, which made the pirate leader can't help but feel nervous.

"The well is in the backyard, and I blocked the mouth of the well with stones, so you can take it as you like." The pirate Will twisted his neck a little uncomfortably: "You can have a drink first, and then we will set off, I don't think this Lord Seris will care about such a trivial matter, right?" ”

The pirate Will's face had an expression that Lao Tzu was about to lose his life, and he was still missing these few mouthfuls of water.

Xu Yichen took a half step back and motioned for these people to take care of themselves, and he noticed that many people's armor had fresh blood stains on them, which was the blood of living people.

Demon hunters are very familiar with the blood of the living and the blood of the undead, and there is a big difference in color and taste between the two, and it seems that Guo Yunfeng has passed the first difficulty.

He purged his internal enemies, albeit at great cost.

"Are you familiar with the big pits?" Xu Yichen waited for most of the soldiers and transcendents to drink for a round, and then asked, "I heard that there are many tunnels down there, leading in any direction. ”

"Of course familiar, my lord, we've been smashing rocks down there for half our lives." A young soldier who had just finished drinking fresh water seemed to be in a good mood: "We are the miners of Storm's End, and those tunnels have been dug by the miners for decades, but many of them have not been visited for a long time because they have run out of ore......"

Suddenly, the young soldier's voice became quieter and quieter, his face became more and more pale, and the kettle in his hand fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency, you're not going to take us to the big mine, are you?" Another bearded soldier swallowed and asked a little stiffly.

Xu Yichen remembered this bearded man, he was the patrol leader who led him into the camp.

Xu Yichen stood straight by the window, blocking the sunlight: "No, it was you who took me to the big mine, I want to go deep there, I am not afraid of the undead and other monsters, but I need a guide, a guide who is familiar with the environment there." ”

"That's suicide, you might as well just go out and find a pleasing undead girl, feed yourself to her, maybe she'll make you cool again." A bald soldier gave a twisted smile, as if amused by his own sneer.

But no one around could laugh.

"My lord, we won't go into a big pit with you, it's a mortal mission, we're going to die, there are thousands of undead gathered there, and they're going to eat us to the bones." A transcendent person was the first to take a stand: "Even the captain can't force us to die!" ”

The surrounding soldiers glanced at each other, and saw panic and fear in the eyes of others.

Ed's face was a little ugly, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Yichen, then lowered his head and continued to drink water.

Guo Yunfeng knew that he could convince these people to go outside and search for supplies, because they knew that without food, they would all have to die, and as long as they were clever, they would also have a chance to escape when facing the undead, so as not to die.

But when he went to the big mine, Guo Yunfeng didn't have the ability to fool these people into warriors who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, but he knew that the political commissar was doing this kind of thing.

Even Guo Yunfeng knew that the birthplace of this plague was in the big mine, that the secrets of the Brotherhood were hidden in the big mine, and that with the passage of time, the survivors of Storm's Breath would sooner or later be swallowed by chaos.

Most people are like this when faced with this situation, you can't convince a group of people who are about to die to deal with a bomb that will not explode tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, and they are more worried about whether they will get enough water at noon.

So he only told Ed his guess and the real mission goal, and the rest of the people didn't know the real mission goal.

This problem, Guo Yunfeng threw it to Xu Yichen.
