Chapter XXIV
In front of the gate of Silver Shadow Castle is a street with a smooth pavement, and because it is very close to the remains of the guards, it can be regarded as a relatively lively street in the pioneer area.
On this day, early in the morning, Li Qing was about to go on a mission in the mountains with the shooting team. As soon as I went out, I saw a lot of people gathered on the street, watching and talking about something.
When I got closer, I saw that on one wall, there were blank sheets of paper with the names of the people killed by the dark ghosts this month, and the entire wall was plastered.
"This month is a lot more than the previous one."
"No, I've heard that the area to the south has been particularly rampant lately...
"I've also heard that in some places, even houses have been torn down, everyone has died, and even the corpses have not been found."
"Hey, when is this kind of day a head? . . ."
People were talking about it, and everyone had a bleak cloud of gloom on their faces.
A hundred years ago, the dark ghosts invaded the planet Muying, and the people at that time fought up to protect themselves, but the disparity in strength was too great, and all the resistance failed. It is said that the population of Muying is now less than half of that of that time.
Gradually, people learned about the habits of the enemy: during the day, the dark ghosts disappeared without a trace, and people went out to live a normal life; At night, people return to their homes and stay closed.
In this way, the life of day and night protects the lives of most people, but there are still accidents that continue to happen. In the dark ghosts, there is also a distinction between the strong and the weak, and the powerful dark ghosts can actually break the walls and invade the house to kill people.
"Get in the car!" Misha shouted from the car, Li Qing was still looking at the death list on the wall, he sighed, turned and left.
In the car, Meisha leaned into Li Qing's ear and whispered, "It seems... The time has come. ”
Li Qing closed his eyes slightly and nodded. Everything is planned.
。。。。。。
"Thirty meters from the target; Hardness level 3; It is recommended to use super-enhanced energy. ”
"Start filling up your energy."
"Energy refilled."
Li Qing's slender fingers pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang, the mountain rock in the distance exploded instantly.
Today's target area has been cleared, and Li Qing put away the Energy Juggernaut and prepared to return to the station.
It was getting late, and the lights were on for the first time in the station.
Even in the shooting team, power stones are very valuable, except for special occasions, celebrations or meetings, and under normal circumstances, at night, everyone chooses to stay in the room in order to save the use of energy stones.
Unexpectedly, it is not completely dark now, and the station is already lit up, is there something big happening?
Li Qing quickened the pace of the return journey, and Meisha followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the gate, Li Qing was greeted enthusiastically, and it turned out to be Zuo Yan.
"Hello Sir Zuo." Li Qing responded politely.
"Li Qing, Chief Zuo came here for you." Captain Feng Dai said with a smile that after Zou Yuan's death, Feng Yuan was selected as the acting captain of the shooting team.
"What is the matter with Chief Zuo looking for me?" Li Qing asked.
"There are important things, but put them aside, I heard that you have performed well in the shooting team recently, and I am here to reward you."
"Reward me? I just did what I had to do. ”
"Don't be modest, come, this is your reward." Zuo Yan took a small wooden box from the hands of the guards behind him and handed it to Li Qing.
Li Qing opened the wooden box, and inside was a triangular energy coin, and he took it out, which was very heavy and heavy. Presumably, the energy in it should be comparable to the share of him, Ling Qi, and Li Che as scavengers for a year. This... It's too precious.
"After your sister's accident, Suzuchi has been taking care of her at home, and she hasn't come to work recently. You take this energy coin home, it can be used by them for a year and a half, during this time, let Ling Qi and Li Che concentrate on cultivating at home! Zuo Yan said kindly.
"What else can I do to help you but say thank you?" Li Qing's sharp eyes moved away from the energy coin in his hand and looked at Zuo Yan.
"Okay, rejoice, then I'll get straight to the point, not long ago, you saved a boy from the hands of the dark ghost, and your courage is commendable! Outstanding ability!
"So, I want you to join our temporary guard team that has just formed to guard the ruins, and help us keep the residents of the south safe at night, of course, during this time, the shooting team will still count your attendance, and you can come back at any time."
"It's my honor, and it's my duty to do it." Li Qing said solemnly.
。。。。。。
It was late at night when they returned to the dormitory, and Zuo Yan invited their shooting team to have a decent meal at the station, and everyone returned to Silver Shadow Fort after they were full of wine and food. After coming back, many people came to congratulate Li Qing.
Li Qing knew in his heart that everyone was only congratulating on the surface, but in his heart he was actually gloating.
When you go to the escort team, eighty percent of you will encounter dark ghosts, and if you encounter dark ghosts, ten percent of them will hang.
Everyone has an attitude towards Li Qing who is not going to give it away, except for the beautiful sand.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he came to Li Qing and said proudly, "I'll just say it!" The time that should come will always come, and the time I expected is just right, this chief is really good. Next, it's up to you! ”
"You kid looks like a different person." Li Qing lay on the bed and said stupidly.
"Isn't it? I'm so happy to watch you all day long when such a wonderful person as you don't live well and want to self-destruct. ”
"Thank you..." After Li Qing finished speaking, he fell asleep under the quilt.
。。。。。。
Guarding the ruins, the noisy guard, four people sit at a square table.
"Who do you say this Li Qing is? It also needs to be invited by Chief Zuo in person. A big man slapped the table and shouted.
"I heard that he was originally a pioneer, but he was later admitted to the shooting team, so he should have two hits." Another man with a goatee said.
"You don't know? The former captain of the shooting team, named Zou Yuan, was executed because of him. This person is not simple. Another round-faced man said smoking a cigarette.
"Heh, I don't care what kind of character he is, when he comes to us, he has to listen to the eldest brother, what is the place where the ruins are guarded? Even if he's on the shooting team, he'll shoot rocks and deal with dark ghosts, don't be scared to death! After the big man finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.
"What big brother? Kenxi, you will go back to your stable if you talk in such a disproportionate manner in the future! At this time, the fourth man with glasses sitting at the table said sternly.
"I was wrong, Captain Yue, I won't dare to do it again." The big man was frightened and immediately retracted his chair, and the noisy crowd around him quieted down。。。。。。
There are a total of twenty people in this room, this is the temporary escort team that Zuo Yan has just formed, and the main purpose is to calm the people's anger and appease the people's hearts.
The captain is Zuo Yan's cronies, Yue Lai. He was also the only one who volunteered to join.
The nineteen team members were all recommended by the various guard teams, most of them were unwanted or incompetent people in each team, they thought that being selected was considered a promotion, and only those captains knew that joining this guard team was to send them to death.
Zuo Yan, how can you not know? When he gave Li Qing that piece of energy coin, he thought maybe he could give some comfort to Ling Qi and Li Che, who were about to die in their families.
