Ability Blast Chapter 125: Maybe a Good Guy?
Dressed in a black linen cloak, Wen Tao walked through the shanty town at midnight like a ghost.
At night, the shanty town is silent and pitch black, with only a few houses shining light, and I don't know if candles or electric lights are expensive, or if they want to hide themselves in the dark and not let the outside world see their reality.
Originally, Wen Tao wanted to go to the city gate to investigate, but he suddenly changed his mind halfway through.
It stands to reason that such a big city should have such a sewer, right? Breaking through the guards from the sewers outside the city and entering the city, isn't that how it is played in the movies?
And although the sewer is filthy, the garbage in it can also reflect the living conditions of the city's residents to a certain extent, and it would be nice to get some information about the city before officially entering the city.
But the question is, where will the sewer exit be?
Wen Tao fell into deep thought.
Cities on the earth will first be treated and purified by sewage treatment plants, and then clean water will be discharged into nearby rivers, since this world is also called the earth, so presumably the sewage discharge method should be similar, so now is it necessary to go to the rivers near the city and find the exit of the sewer?
In fact, if you just enter the sewer, there should be many sewer entrances along the way, but considering that there is no such thing as a toilet in this smelly shantytown, and there is no such thing as human rights for shantytown residents, there is a high probability that there is no sewer in the shantytown.
So Wen Tao went to a river that ran through the city according to his memories when he came during the day, and after more than an hour of searching in the dark, he finally found the entrance to the sewer in an inconspicuous place, but ......
Can this passage with a height of less than one meter also be called a sewer? At this height, only hobbits can dive in!
As soon as he thought of the wasted time, Wen Tao became angry, and sure enough, he blasted the door and broke in directly, which was more suitable for him!
When we came to the city gate, it was already deep in the night. The gate was closed, and the patrolling people were nowhere to be seen, presumably to rest.
But there are no personnel arranged for such an important thing as the city gate to defend it, and the style of this No. 84 fortress is also a refreshing Wen Tao's perception of them.
Wen Tao visually measured the height of the steel city wall, and found that the height of more than 20 meters was actually able to jump over with a single jump, and he once again felt congested for the time he had wasted.
Forget it, just brush the number of exercise steps.
After thinking about it for a while, in order to avoid startling the snakes, he did not directly cross the city wall and enter the fortress.
Although the fort's defenses look weak, who knows if there are monitors, infrared sensing devices, or even touch pressure devices, if they are discovered as soon as they go up, it will have a big impact on the future plans.
Although it is the background of the end of the world, after all, 300 years have passed, and what level of technology has it reached today, Wen Tao, who only got scattered information from the scar man, did not dare to pack a ticket.
After walking around the city gate and making sure that it was unattended at night and that the defense was lax, Wen Tao returned to the stronghold.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the exclamations of a woman coming from the next room, then the sound of fighting and struggling, and finally only the whispers of men.
Originally, Wen Tao didn't want to care about it, because this kind of thing is too common in this world, and he can't manage it, but Heita doesn't think so.
"Discovery Side Quest: Save Mother and Daughter"
"Mission Objective: To help a mother and daughter who are being robbed and molested, and to stop the criminal behavior of others."
"Reward: 1000 evolution points."
"Failure Penalty: Deduct 1000 evolution points and continue to live near this area will greatly increase the chances of revealing your identity."
The task ...... There are quirks!
It's just to repel a few gangsters, and there's nothing wrong with the reward of only 1000 evolution points, but the mission reward is completely unequal to the failure penalty, which is no longer a matter of whether the difficulty can be improved, but compared with the side quests in the dinosaur world, it is already fundamentally different.
For example, the side quest where Shadow and Wang Chengwu survived in the wild for one night was not punished for failure, which also shows that the mission changes between this world and the dinosaur world are not so big.
What's more, shouldn't the difficulty increase be an increase in the difficulty of completing the task, why only increase the punishment for failing the mission? This is almost a disguised compulsion that the transcendent who accepts this task must complete this task.
To accept, or to reject?
Wen Tao wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to complete this task, but this strange punishment for failure always gave Wen Tao a bad premonition, and he always felt like he would be in big trouble.
But it was only a moment, and Wen Tao figured it out.
In the world of the Black Tower, trouble is equal to opportunity, the difficulty of the task is linked to the reward, if people want to get greater gains, they have to keep looking for "trouble", so since the task is sent to the door, then why don't you dare to take it?
"Accept!" Wen Tao said silently in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he walked to the bungalow next to him and knocked lightly on the door: "Hello, may I ask anyone?" ”
For a moment, the movement in the house stagnated, as if to answer that there was no one in Wen Tao.
Wen Tao was still knocking on the door regardless of it, and the voice was getting louder and louder, and the people inside finally couldn't help but say, "Get out!" ”
"Ah, sure enough, there are people. Hello, I'm lost, please open the door and help me. Wen Tao was pleasantly surprised, and ignored the request to let him go.
Impatient by the knock on the door, and worried that the sound would attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors, the wooden door was finally opened, and a man's head sticked out from it, and said to Wen Tao viciously: "I'm not interested in helping you, hurry up and get out of the way to find someone else, and if you knock on the door again, I'll kill you!" ”
Bang!
The man flew back into the house and slammed into the wall, breaking three of his ribs with great force, and fainting immediately after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The sound made the other two of his companions in the room look at it, and they were immediately enraged by the sight before them, and put down the two women who had been tied in their hands, and each took out a machete from behind his back.
It was only then that Wen Tao's voice reached the ears of the two: "I just wanted to ask for directions, and it was rude to say that they would kill me." ”
Two companions: "......"
Who is more rude! The walls have been smashed into a hole!
The mysterious man who suddenly appeared at the door tied his hands and feet and his mouth was blocked, and the mother and daughter, who were already desperate, rekindled a glimmer of hope.
While it's very likely that this mysterious man didn't come to save them, it's also possible that this person will bring them even more despair......
However, there is still hope after all.
Perhaps, in this world, there are really good people?
