Chapter 126: The Beacon of Fate 6
A few people had just walked less than 100 meters, and a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles drove quickly towards Belgondo from the east.
Jack nervously picked up the binoculars and looked at it, "It's another large settlement's armed forces...... What the hell is going on? ”
Qiu Yu shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, for us, the more people in different organizations, the safer we are." ”
After walking for more than ten minutes, you can already see a small town built by the sea and a large camp standing outside the town in the distance.
It seemed that in addition to the two convoys that had just been seen, there were many more people who had already arrived there, but for unknown reasons, none of them entered the town, choosing instead to camp in the wilderness a few hundred meters outside the town.
"What the hell are you doing...... Qian Xiao stopped, "I always feel uneasy, otherwise, let's set up a tent here first, observe and observe." ”
"It's better to ask questions faster than to observe." Qiu Yu stopped as he spoke, turning to look behind him.
Coulomb looked behind him as well, and the dot was getting bigger and bigger, and after a few seconds, he realized it was an oncoming car.
And Jack, who held up the telescope, saw the situation more clearly than he could see. It was a large truck, and the nose of the truck was badly damaged, reinforced with wooden strips and wire. Even so, during the operation of the car, there are signs that each joint part may fall apart at any time.
"Is it dangerous? Is it dangerous? Do you dodge, or do you do it first? Qian Xiao shouted, and grabbed two small pistols from his bag.
Jack hesitated for a moment, "It seems that some small organization or settlement people who can't even protect themselves, as long as we don't show hostility, there shouldn't be any conflict." ”
Qian Xiao immediately put the pistol back and stood sideways with a simple face, as if he was deliberately making way for the truck.
"Say hi." As soon as Qiu Yu spoke, he had already waved his hand at the oncoming truck.
Jack and Culomb glanced at each other with a wry smile and stood beside Qiu Yu. Although the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground, the hand was already on the trigger.
The truck began to slow down at a constant speed when it was still 100 meters away from several people, but stopped more than 20 meters away. It's not that the driver is deliberately trying to distance himself, it's that the interior of the car is in a terrible state that matches its tattered appearance.
The person driving the car also seemed to feel a little embarrassed by this situation, and started it several times in a row, but the car only wailed lowly, but was unwilling to move half a step.
In the co-pilot's seat, a strong man who could still see the outline of his muscles even though he was wearing loose clothes took off his sunglasses and observed several people twenty meters away for a while.
Whether it's the weapon that flashes with new light in Jack Cullen's hand, or the fat man with eyes as sharp as a poisonous snake in the back, it shows how dangerous they are.
"Don't try, leave two people to see if they can fix the car, and everyone else gets out of the car."
After giving the order to the people in the driver's seat, the strong man jumped out of the car and walked towards the people in front. Although it seems that he is simply walking, the center of gravity of the footprints left on the ground is tilted to the right. As long as the first few people showed signs of attacking, he would be able to save a few tenths of a second of his time on dodging.
"Hey guys, is there anything we can help you with?" When he was still a few meters away, Dahan stopped.
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen people had jumped down from the truck, but they didn't look like experienced warriors or hunters, looking at the Qiu Yu people who were blocking the road, not only did they not step forward to cheer for the big man, but they seemed to be a little scared, hiding next to the car and not daring to come up.
Qiu Yu pointed to the big bag behind him, "As you can see, we are some traveling merchants who plan to go to Belgangdo to do a small business first, but now it seems that something has happened to Bellgangdo, so I want to inquire if we can continue to go over." ”
As Qiu Yu spoke, he took another sip of the Coke in his hand, and then threw the remaining half bottle to the big man.
After the other party took the Coke, he obviously hesitated, but still put it to his mouth and took a small sip. With the entrance of Coke, a brief surprise appeared on the strong man's face, and at the same time, the hostile sense of vigilance instantly diminished a lot.
"No wonder, traveling merchants always have a lot of good stuff."
The strong man made a gesture of throwing back the Coke at Qiu Yu, and after seeing Qiu Yu shaking his head, he immediately quickly put the Coke into his bag, and the smile on his face became thicker, "I really don't know whether to say that you are good luck or bad luck." Still, I guess it's a bit more lucky. ”
"Oh?"
"That's right, Belgondo no longer exists, more precisely, the people of the organization that occupied the town in front of it have all been killed."
Seeing the shocked look on Qiu Yu's face, the strong man continued with satisfaction, "I heard that it was some monsters that emerged from the sea that killed them......
Hearing this, Qiu Yu's face was truly shocked. You know, I also "accidentally" gathered a lot of information to deduce the source of those monsters, and this person from this backward world actually discovered this so quickly, perhaps......
In order to be worthy of the reward he had just received, the strong man told everything he knew, "Someone paid a lot of money to find someone to hunt down the monster that destroyed Belgondo. Now the people who were camped in front of them had gathered from all over the world because they wanted these rewards. You can't do much business with Bell Gang anymore, but you can do business with other organizations now. ”
"You're here for pay, too?"
The strong man shrugged his shoulders, "Sort of, but at most, let's just have a fun time and see if there is a cheap choice, even if we can't kill the monster, it's good to get something that others can't look at." ”
"Who posted the bounty?"
"I don't know about that." The strong man shook his head and said, "It's all through the people in the bars in various places, saying that the people who have issued the bounties will also come when the time comes, as long as you kill the monsters and hand them over to them directly, you can get paid immediately." Because there are bars and some big organizations to vouch, so this should not be fake. ”
"So how can you be sure the monster is still there? If they have all run away, haven't so many people run for nothing? ”
"Hehe, it's impossible to run in vain, I heard that the town has completely changed, and I definitely won't find something to kill." The strong man spread his hands, "But that's all I know, you can go to the front and inquire about the rest." ”
"Looks like you're going to have to delay a little longer, so we'll get over first."
Qiu Yu saw that except for the strong man, everyone still had a strong defensive psychology against their own side, and since they already knew everything they knew, there was no need to waste time here.
Just now, he had plans to hire this strong man, but first, he didn't know as much as Culomb and Jack, and he still owed himself a great favor, so he was afraid that something would go wrong at a critical moment. Second, except for strong men, none of their carloads of people look better than themselves, and hiring a person will result in a large burden, which is obviously a loss-making business.
The strong man is also a smart person, and when he saw that Qiu Yu was going to go first, after nodding goodbye, he immediately went back to rectify his miscellaneous team.
After walking a few dozen meters, Qian Xiao immediately put it in Qiu Yu's ear and said, "Did Sima Tianzhi do it?" ”
Qian Xiao pointed out, naturally, it was the matter of hiring people to kill monsters.
"Hmm...... If anything, it really looks like he would do it. ”
"However, if it's really Sima Tianzhi, what's the use of finding someone to kill monsters? Could it be that ......," Qian Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be that he used the excuse of killing monsters and then concentrated his strength to prepare to kill into the sea?" ”
"Quite possibly." Qiu Yu sighed, "When I hired two people to make a small fuss, people already thought of hiring thousands of people to do a big deal. ”
Qian smiled and said, "Cut, I don't believe you didn't think of this, it's just that you don't think these people can play a big role, so you didn't do it, right?" ”
"Not exactly." Qiu Yu sighed again, "If you want to talk about the effect, there must be one, and it is not small." It's just that I think it plays a bigger role in keeping them alive and developing in this game than letting them go out into the sea to pave the way for us. ”
"That'...... Do you want to stop him? Qian Xiao's tone was a little hesitant.
"I don't want to do it, it doesn't mean I don't want others to do it. What if we pay the price to stop someone who shares our goals, and then find out that it's me who is wrong? ”
Qian smiled and wiped his sweat, "It's really a cunning gamble, if you lose, others lose, and if you win, you will collect money." ”
Qiu Yu smiled bitterly, but did not defend himself.
After leaning into the camp, without the cover of all kinds of messy things, Qiu Yu understood what the strong man meant by the fact that the town had completely changed.
Clumps of green plants clinged to the shadows of the town's low walls, and with each shift of the sun, the extra shadows were immediately taken over by new plants. The plants that are directly exposed to the sun do not stay in place and wait for death, but curl back and shrink little by little.
Some fist-sized insects lurked under the leaves of the plants, staring coldly at these uninvited guests in the distance, like killers who were calm down and ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
Qian Xiao muttered suspiciously, "Are these aliens here to help the earth improve its ecological environment?" ”
Qiu Yu pondered for a moment, "It's true to improve the ecological environment, but it's not to help us transform it." ”
The camps seemed to be connected, but they were clearly divided into regions, and when the Aki Feather and the others crossed the area occupied by several different organizations in succession, they finally came to their attention.
A man dressed in a similar attire to Jack beckoned to a few people at the door of a large tent more than a dozen meters away, "Is it a traveling merchant?" Coming here, we need something to change. ”
