Chapter Fifty-Six: A Town in the Woods

After bidding farewell to the two Nightcrawlers, Galadia and the others returned to the hotel. Valkyrie took off his coat and sat on the bed in a tight-fitting vest, taking out a large bucket of ice cream from the fridge and scooping it with a spoon.

"Isn't it...... Are you still eating? "Galadia had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the couch in a short suit and drinking milk. White liquid dripped from her mouth and flowed down the towering peaks into the deep valley.

"Wow! It's tempting! I want to knock you down. Valkyrie put down his spoon and stared at Galadia, "I didn't think there was such a hand, I've seen it for a long time." ”

"Uh......" Galadia wiped her mouth, "do you have a lewd uncle in your heart?" ”

"I said you're so beautiful and have such a good body. What kind of man can't take it? ”

"Huh?! It's this topic again, can't you think about something serious? Let's say how to get alien garbage or something. ”

"Do you even need to think about it? Ahh Valkyrie took another big bite of ice cream, "Just take a bunch of little brothers to Monte Cristo, and the people there will definitely not refuse a little request from a beautiful girl like me!" ”

"This world has high-end combat power, and even the alien invasion has been defeated." Galadia shook her head: "You haven't forgotten that the difficulty of our mission this time is B. We need to be prepared to encounter an enemy with a maximum of 50 attributes. ”

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"We can send someone to investigate."

"Who will you send?"

"That's what we're going to do tomorrow. We can walk around and ask who would like to be brave volunteers. ”

……

Gothic City is dotted with gangsters who control large areas and collect alien shards from neighborhoods.

Almost every powerful gangster has its own weaponry, and many have mutants.

With Pompey as their guide, Galadia and Valkyrie were very efficient in navigating block after block.

Valkyrie is responsible for kicking the door, and then Galadia fires it, Valkyrie subdues the gangsters who have been kicked to the ground, and then temporarily hands them over to Pompey to start the search for alien shards.

Along the way, Galadia discovers that the two of them have acquired a world-specific attribute called Domination. Whenever they control a neighborhood with a population of more than 1,000 people, they gain an additional point of Dominance, which adds 1 extra Attack, 1 Defense, and 1 Health in their own world. They will lose this bonus when they leave this world.

There are more than 30 million inhabitants living in Gothic City, and if they were all under their command, Galadia would be a god of strength. With more than 30,000 defenses, attacks, and health bars, you can literally stand up to the gods.

In addition to this, Pompey's stats have been increased. He was originally a "gangster leader", but after a day of absorption and merger, his attributes have been upgraded to "a well-known gangster leader".

"The popular gangster rising star Pompey (elite). Race: Human. Attributes: Strength 20, Agility 5, Stamina 5, Perception 5, Intelligence 5, Spirit 5.

Special Skill 1: Elite Gangster Boss LV1 with an additional 200 HP increase.

Special Skill 2: Intimidate, making a low-level gangster bend his will to serve him. ”

Pompey's attributes are most likely related to the fact that Galadia controlled a large block. At the same time, if Pompey were to die, Galadia and the others would probably lose control of the gangsters in the neighborhoods.

The Pompey gang already controlled a small area south of Gothic City, and to the west of their area there was a community close to the forest, and if they controlled it, they would be able to level the line and then move north into the city to compete with the other big gangs for influence.

"Then it's decided." Galadia tapped on the table where the map was placed, "Pompey, take your men, and we'll take down this community." ”

……

The forested community is called Forest Town, and the town's main livelihood comes from the income of the lumberjacks, and the thick fir and other trees in the woods are cut down to supply the needs of Goth. There are even fine trees such as walnut in the woods, and it is said that William Musk's home is stocked with walnut furniture.

There is a small local armed gang, the "Hank" gang, which is entrenched here. They have a total of 8 members and have a monopoly on the forestry business. During the recent alien invasion, a team of aliens was annihilated by the superheroes of Gothic City, leaving behind a lot of wreckage.

Under the cover of Galadia, 12 armed gunmen under Pompey, armed with shotguns and pistols, divided into three squads and surrounded the town's gang-infested wooden house.

Valkyrie followed with Pompey, carefully guarding the surroundings.

"Pompey, are you sure this is their stronghold?" Valkyrie was armed with a spear and a round shield, hiding behind a large tree and observing, "How come I haven't even seen a single sentry. ”

"Dear hostess, I'm sure this is the home of Hank and his gang." Pompey hid with a submachine gun, "My men have asked the people in the town that they have been seen near the hut during the day. ”

"Valkyrie, let Pompey's men in first." Galadia's voice came from the intercom, "In my perception, there is no one here, if it weren't for the fact that they were all dead, they were all terrible. ”

Four armed gunmen reached the window of the hut. One of the most elite gunners in the team was a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, wearing thick body armor, a helmet and holding a Remington. He slammed the glass with his elbow and threw a gas grenade inside.

"Boom!" The gas grenade made a silent explosion, and smoke quickly emerged from the cracks in the cabin.

The gunmen of Pompey's gang nervously raised their guns and aimed them at every possible position, ready to take down Hank and his men who rushed out.

But until the smoke cleared, there was no movement in the cabin.

"Let's go, come in with me." The elite gunners who led the team picked up their Remington shotguns and fired them at the wooden door, then raised their feet and kicked them hard. The wooden door crashed down, and a group of Pompey's gunmen rushed in one after the other.

Within seconds, one of the thugs had run out of the cabin, waving desperately at where Pompey was hiding.

"Boss, come and see this!"

Valkyrie told the other gunmen to stand guard nearby, and he and Pompey ran inside. Galadia watched the surroundings warily, and when she saw that nothing was unusual, she followed.

The cabin was still filled with gas that had not drifted away, but as soon as you entered the door, you could smell a strong smell of blood. Various body parts were scattered around the room, and an armed gunman who rushed in lasted only 2 seconds before running out and vomiting.

"It's too curious here." Galadia covered her nose with a handkerchief, "How many corpses are here?" ”

"Five corpses......," Valkyrie examined, "these fragments, though mutilated, were no more than five people. ”

"Lord Valkyrie." The veteran gunner, who had been the first to rush in, ran through the back door of the cabin, "You might need to see this. ”

At the back door of the 100-square-meter wooden house, large blood stains dripped down the floor and stairs and fell to the ground. Through the dim light, Galadia could faintly see the bloodstains stretching into the forest not far away.

"I saw someone pack some after dinner." Valkyrie gripped his spear and shield and ran towards the forest, "Follow me, let's see what is going on." ”

Traces of blood are also clearly visible in the forest. It was as if he was bleeding from someone while running and spilling it all over the grass, roots, and rocks.

"Valkyrie, at 3 o'clock, I see a figure!" Suddenly, there was Garadia's voice behind her.

"Understood!" Valkyrie sprinted extremely fast, swerving sharply as he ran, and pounced on his right.

However, the light here is very bad, and the bright moonlight is blocked by the layers of tree branches. Valkyrie's front was almost pitch black.

"Speaking of which, it's a full moon today." Valkyrie muttered as he watched the situation around.

The surrounding woodland was silent, as if insects had sensed an ominous premonition and hid in the depths of the tree trunks.

"At 11 o'clock, he might be going to attack you! Be careful! Galadia's voice rang out again, and Valkyrie flickered to the side with a quick sound, and his foot stepped on a piece of soft humus, rolling down with a large pile of dirt and grass.

"Ouch yo yo!" Valkyrie rolled down the slope to a ravine.

"Valkyrie, where did you go?" Galadia's voice came over the intercom.

"Don't mention it, I rolled into the ditch while dodging as you prompted." Valkyrie patted the dirt on his leg and stood up.

"Huh?!"

"What's wrong...... Haven't you ever seen someone roll into a ditch? ”

"......" Galadia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted over the intercom, "I didn't talk to you just now!" ”
