Chapter 78: The Ghost Lingers
Sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset, sunrise sunset.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The sun was shining in the sky, slightly slanting to the west, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Squeak~
A broken wooden door was pushed open, and Lin Fan walked out of it. He was dressed in a shabby black trench coat and hooded, ready to go shopping for supplies.
"Wang-"
Pet Erha then came out of the broken wooden door, and it circled around Lin Fan twice, shaking its head and looking around.
Lin Fan closed the door, turned back to Erha and scolded: "Don't scream, be careful of being remembered by others, they poisoned you and ate meat." β
Lin Fan didn't say this to scare Erha, in this era, this kind of thing is no more common than usual.
Of course, Erha is very smart and powerful, if someone really has malicious intentions towards Erha, it is likely that Erha will be alive in the end.
The place where Lin Fan was at this time was called Jiaolong City, which was a small marginal city belonging to the Locke Consortium. On the evening of three days ago, Broadcom and Lin Fan came here and found an empty courtyard in the outskirts of the outer city to live quietly, without alarming anyone.
Jiaolong City was not called this name before, but in the past three days, Lin Fan quietly went out to inquire, and this place was originally called Duoge City, but after the death of the old city lord six years ago, his son succeeded to the throne and immediately changed the name of the city.
Jiaolong takes off, it sounds quite powerful and domineering!
Three days passed, Lin Fan's weakening period of taking dragon root stimulants finally passed, and although Broadcom took more drugs, his physique was strong, and he also got rid of the weakening effect at this time. However, he seemed to have realized something in the battle with Wang Lang, and at this time he was meditating in the house to try to break through.
But can it succeed...... In Broadcom's own words: only God knows!
The two agreed that no matter whether they could break through or not, after dark, the two would leave Jiaolong City, drive the jeep they hid in the wilderness, and go straight to Dongning City.
Lin Fan was preparing for the next long journey at this time, and he wanted to buy some clean water and dry food here in Jiaolong City.
"Woo-"
Erha was scolded by Lin Fan, didn't dare to scream again, whispered a few words, and rubbed Lin Fan's leg with his head.
Lin Fan patted its dog head: "If you want to play by yourself, just go, remember to come back before dark." β
Erha understood Lin Fan's words, nodded his head humanely, turned a corner along the wall and disappeared.
In the past three days, Erha has been running outside every day, and this area is familiar, Lin Fan is neither worried about its safety nor worried about it causing trouble.
After all......
A husky, still wild, you can't close it with a broken door. If it is forced to shut it down, maybe it will tear down the entire yard, and the noise will be even greater, so it is better to let it go.
Lin Fan walked down the street towards the south, and he looked for places over there where he could buy water and food.
Although the name of Jiaolong City sounds more domineering than that of Broken Military City, whether it is infrastructure, management level or economic level, it is not half a star worse than Broken Military City.
This can be glimpsed from the dense stinky ditches and the even more small and dilapidated residential houses.
Lin Fan walked cautiously on the cramped streets, avoiding all kinds of filth on the ground, while also enduring the disgusting smell coming from the tip of his nose.
"Damn, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people living in this garbage place, and human beings are really going backwards as they live."
The people Lin Fan occasionally met on the road were also listless, sluggish and numb.
[System Prompt: Your pet "Erha" killed a LV4 Flower Snake, and you are assigned 2 experience points]
Lin Fan was not surprised by the system prompt that suddenly popped up, he had seen many similar prompts in the past few days, and he was used to it.
Erha can help him level up by himself, and he is very pleased.
But why did this stupid dog kill all the snakes for three days? If memory serves, this is the 131st, right? Could it be that it has found a snake nest that automatically farms monsters?!
Lin Fan complained in his heart, continued to walk along the narrow street, and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Not long after Lin Fan left, the shadows in the corner of the street squirmed, and a thin figure emerged from the shadows, a martial artist who was very good at hiding.
He is a member of the Wang Consortium, subordinate to the Wang Family Shadow Guard, an assassin and spy specially trained by the Wang Consortium, and a junior earth warrior.
The shadow guard looked left and right, and after confirming his safety, he took out a satellite phone and dialed it quickly.
"It was reported that Lin Fan, the target was found in Jiaolong City, numbered 3, and his identity had been confirmed, and Broadcom's location had also been determined, but he had not seen the target with his own eyes. The rest of the team has been disguised as surveillance. β
"Got it, continue to be vigilant, don't do it covertly, wait for orders."
Shadow Wei put away the satellite phone and thought about the hardships of the mission in the past few days.
Three days ago, they set out from the main city of the Wang family, consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and searched for a jeep hidden in the wilderness. According to the location of the jeep, the Wang consortium locked on seven nearby cities, conducted a carpet investigation, and finally found the target.
Fortunately, now that the person has found it, he can finally go back to the main city to rest, and the top brand of the Oiran demon in Yihong Courtyard seems to be scratching his head, which is exciting.
After a while, the shadow guard put away his honey smile, quietly disappeared in the shadows, and continued to chase after Lin Fan.
But not far behind the Shadow Guard, where he hadn't noticed, a large dog's head crept out and bared its teeth at him.
β¦β¦
Knock knock~
Lin Fan knocked on a door, waking up the guy who was napping in the store.
"Two large buckets of ten liters of water, six loaves of white bread, and three catties of jerky, good meat."
The guy was immediately in good spirits, this is big business!
After ordering the supplies, Lin Fan paid for the bill, and the guy saw that Lin Fan was very angry, and his eyes were faintly unkind.
Lin Fan noticed the man's gaze, and when he lowered his head to pick up the supplies, he deliberately exposed a pistol handle sideways, and the man immediately died down, with a smile on his face.
Lin Fan smiled back, turned his head and left.
Jiaolong City is different from Broken Military City, water and food can be bought in many places in the outer city, and almost all of these places that sell things have gangster backgrounds.
It seems that this is a bit of a reversal, it should be said that the broken military city is different from Jiaolong City, and even the broken military city is different from the vast majority of cities.
All the cities of the consortium in the Western Continent, except for the distinction between the inner and outer cities, which are completely identical, how the city is managed depends entirely on the personal ability of the city lord. Not everyone is Wang Pojun, so not every city is like the Broken Army City, where all power is concentrated in the inner city.
The ability of the city lord of Jiaolong City is not good, and Lin Fan even inquired that there are many people here who have fled Jiaolong City in groups to go to other cities because they can't live.
In fact, these people go the same everywhere. Because most cities in the Western Continent are like Jiaolong City, which is poor, disorderly, chaotic, and life is more difficult.
Lin Fan put the purchased supplies into a broken bag, so as not to be worried about the hungry and crazy, and walked back with the broken bag.
There was nothing to do all the way, and Lin Fan quickly walked to the street near the hiding place.
The Wang family shadow guard was hidden in the shadows, and secretly followed all the way.
"Roar~Wang-"
Suddenly, the sound of a dog barking sounded, startling Wang Jiayingwei.
He turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, swept around and saw no shadow of the dog, and quickly calmed down - it was just an ordinary dog, it was impossible to find him, probably barking madly. How stupid!
But having said that, the well-trained and cautious Wang Jia Yingwei still shrank into the shadows and stabilized for the time being.
Lin Fan also heard the dog barking, he heard that it was Erha's barking, and vaguely felt Erha's emotions through the pet system, and his face immediately changed.
Someone is stalking him!
γDing! You have triggered the A-rank random quest "The Ghost Lingers"! γ

[Reward 1: 5000 XP]
[Task Reward 2: Random rewards will be distributed according to the completion of the task]
Sou~
As soon as Lin Fan put the things in his hand into the storage space, the person immediately rushed to a roof, and the whole process was extremely fast and silent.
The next moment, a black "ghost sniper rifle" appeared in Lin Fan's hand, aiming in the direction of Erha's quiet warning.
A figure was sneakily cowering in the shadows.
He thought he was hiding well, but in Lin Fan's sniper scope, there was nothing to hide.
The crosshair caught it, and Lin Fan pulled the trigger.
