Chapter 225: Bait?
"This is outside the city, now you can choose, get on the carriage if you go, stay here if you don't want to go, as long as you can pay 5 million." The captain of the guard sneered and glanced at the men.
Jiang Yunlan walked into the carriage without hesitation, and a few of them also got on the carriage after hesitating, and most of the remaining people were afraid, the sixth ring was already a marginal area, and many people had said that beyond the fifth ring was the area where monsters were rampant, not to mention them, even the hunters had to be very careful over there.
"Well, from now on, each of you owes 5 million to the Ouyang family, and when the time comes, someone will come to the door to ask for it, and you know the consequences if you can't hand it over." The captain of the guard snorted contemptuously, jumped into the carriage and let the coachman go, and a few gritted their teeth and came over to get into the carriage, but suddenly the horseman waved his whip, and the carriage left without waiting for these people, and these men exclaimed: "Wait for me, let me get into the carriage." ”
It's a pity that the carriage didn't stop, they could only watch the carriage go away, what was waiting for them would be a high amount of compensation, unless they left their families forever and didn't enter the city, the Ouyang family had more ways to collect debts.
Now in order to expand the territory, the military department allows the army to lay down the outside territory, and then lease it to the major families and organizations, so that they can organize their own people to hunt and scavenge waste, the stronger the strength, the farther and larger the contracted territory, so as to reduce the manpower of the military department, but also let the major families contribute, it can be said that it is a strategy to kill many birds with one stone.
And the major forces know that it is the military department that uses their resources to consolidate their territory, but for the sake of interests, they still choose to rent land, the closer to the periphery, the richer the resources, and now the farthest is rented by the sixth ring, the military department just eliminated the strongest monsters and the most monster nests, and the rest is left to the people who rent out to hunt by themselves.
After all, the monster is a treasure, and if it is really all cleaned up, this land will not have much value, and the more resources and manpower the military department will waste.
Within the third ring road, their carriage could meet other teams along the way, but when they reached the fourth ring, they encountered very few people, and when they entered the fifth ring range, they could hear the roar of monsters all the time, and the guards also began to be on guard, and their expressions were no longer as relaxed and arrogant as just now.
Sometimes hunters can be seen besieging a monster in the distance, and just as they are about to leave the fifth ring, a small group of walking corpses suddenly appears in front of them, and the captain of the guard immediately raises his crossbow arrows and shouts: "Wind blade arrows, shoot from a distance, don't stop the carriage." ”
The order was given, and the four guards shot the magic guide arrows at the same time, only to see the arrows fly out and release the spinning wind blade. The four arrows flew side by side, and the walking corpse they touched was directly cut off by the wind blade, like a meat grinder.
In two seconds, a passage was cleared in the middle of the group of corpses in front of him, and the carriage rushed past, crushing the corpses that had fallen to the ground.
The walking corpses on both sides pounced, crashed into the carriage, and were directly knocked into the air, and there were spikes on the wheels and sides of the carriage, and the walking corpses that touched were all smashed to pieces.
After rushing over, the walking corpses are not a threat, the walking corpses move slowly, as long as they do not form an encirclement, they are not much of a threat.
At this time, the coachman shouted: "Enter the Sixth Ring Road, everyone be careful." ”
The five guards immediately loaded their magic arrows on their crossbows, ready for battle. But this time they were very lucky, when they arrived at the scope of the ninth district, after seeing the sign of the Ouyang family, the carriage slowly stopped, and the guard shouted: "Now you can go, do you see the circular building over there, this time your task is to search there, no matter what you can find, as long as you find out the terrain and hand over the items you find to us, each person can get a commission of 1 million." ”
"1 million!" The eyes of the 13 people here lit up, which is a lot of money.
"You don't have to be too afraid, the Ouyang family has hired a hundred hunters to hunt monsters here, so you are still relatively safe. I won't say much about the rules, you know better than me, there is a temporary camp 700 meters away from my right, I will wait for you over there, there will be people from the Ouyang family to collect what you find. Alright, there's nothing more to explain, so let's go. After the captain of the guard finished speaking, he waved his hand and let the carriage run towards the camp, leaving as fast as if fleeing for his life.
The scavengers immediately dispersed and ran towards the target, they had been scavenging for a while, especially the two-star scavengers, who were much more experienced, and knew how to hide at the first time and explore the threat level of the target area.
Jiang Yunlan didn't leave, looking at the direction in which the carriage left, guessing what the purpose of the Ouyang family was this time.
The group of people who left saw Jiang Yunlan standing alone and shook their heads and sighed, and a young man sneered: "This guy is scavenging for the first time, and he is still standing, waiting to die!" ”
"The first time I picked up waste, I didn't spend money to hire a veteran to bring it, I deserved to die here." Someone gloated.
Jiang Yunlan watched the carriage disappear from sight, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then slowly walked towards the target building, he showed a surprised look when he saw the appearance of this building, this building is the place Tang Huowu said, the demon hunter has disappeared here several times, it is impossible for the Ouyang family not to know about this matter, and let them come, there is only one possibility, that is, to use these people as bait.
"Scavengers go in, it is impossible to have the ability to lure out the monsters inside, when they are bait, the strength of these people is too low, if it is not a bait, then what does the Ouyang family let these low-level scavengers in?" Jiang Yunlan said secretly.
While he was thinking about his question, suddenly there was a strange cry around him, intermittently, like someone was gathering his companions. Soon the walking corpses appeared around, but the target was not to surround him, but to the circular building.
Now it can be determined that there must be a problem here, he immediately ran towards the building, the houses on both sides of the street sometimes rushed to the corpses, and they were all killed by him with a hidden blade, the walking corpses were no longer a threat to Jiang Yunlan, no matter how many they were, with teleportation and positioning bombs, he could go back and forth to the battlefield and safe areas at will.
The scavengers also noticed the anomaly, and also saw the walking corpses gathering, they desperately ran into the building to hide, as long as they could enter the room, the scavengers will always find some unexpected places to hide, this is one of the scavengers' skills.
Soon Jiang Yunlan also ran into this building, it looked like an ordinary commercial building, and it could be seen that this place must have been a lively place in the past, but now only the frame remains, and the glory of the past no longer exists.
As soon as Jiang Yunlan came in, he began to look for anomalies, and the other scavengers who came in could not control others, so they all found a safe place to hide.
The house here can't stop the corpses, all the doors and windows have long been rotten, even if the things in the house are moved to block the door, it is only one block, and there are many doors and windows on the first floor here, so it is impossible to stop it.
Jiang Yunlan glanced at this floor, and after finding nothing abnormal, she began to walk upstairs, and it didn't take long for the walking corpses outside to rush in and start looking for prey, and gradually the first floor was occupied by the walking corpses, and some began to walk upstairs.
There is a scavenger hiding at the staircase on the first floor, hanging himself on the back of the stairs with iron cables, the back of the person is attached to the bottom of the stairs, about three meters from the ground high, and the body is covered with black gauze, and the line of sight can still see the outside situation, but from a distance, it looks like a black cloth bag. Even if he was discovered, the walking corpse would not be able to reach his location.
Hanging yourself from the ceiling is a common way for scavengers to avoid the walking dead, with specially fixed nails smashed into the stone walls.
