Chapter 279: Dead Land
Chapter 279: Dead Land
This strange place is like a medieval fortress, with a huge city built of white stone at its core, with low houses and dilapidated tents outside, a gloomy sky, dark clouds covering this desolate land, and the streets are bustling with people, and there are many people selling their arts, wine, and bodies.
The people here are generally pale, their eyes are obscene, their clothes are in tatters, they are all skinny, and many of them will emit a pungent stench, and I don't know how long they haven't bathed.
The bald man led two of his subordinates, one tall and one short, towards the boulder city in the distance, Xia Fei quietly followed behind them, there were many people here, Xia Fei was very eye-catching in combat clothes, and he had an idea to burrow into a dilapidated gray tent next to the road.
Inside the tent, a child of about seven or eight years old was sitting on the ground playing with a broken toy hovercar in his hand, his face as gray as the adults, his body thin and small, and his fingernails covered with dirty dirt.
Seeing Xia Fei come in, the kid didn't have any alertness, just looked at him stupidly, and seemed to care why Xia Fei broke into his home.
"Don't look, this kid smokes Bliss just like the adults." The ghost said with a sigh.
"Bliss powder?" Xia Fei wondered.
"A drug that can anesthetize the human brain and cause people to hallucinate, and after taking it, people will become extremely insane, but after the madness, they will be as numb as walking corpses." The ghost explained.
Xia Fei didn't say anything, there was almost nothing in the tent, a few tattered bowls, a pot, and sleeping in a straw pile.
Xia Fei took off the only rainproof cloak from the hanger and put it on his body, and before leaving, he took out dozens of measuring sticks and chocolates from the space ring and put them beside the child, the child curiously fiddled with the things left by Xia Fei, and his eyes suddenly had more brilliance than just now, and he seemed to be very curious.
"It's useless, what you give that kid to eat is afraid that it won't fall into his belly, once his parents find out, they will use it to exchange for Bliss powder, taking that thing is like a demon, and he can't be saved." The ghost said.
"Perhaps." Xia Fei frowned and said, the child doesn't know the reason, he must not take drugs by himself, it must be a sin done by parents.
"Parents who give their kids drugs?" Xia Fei said to himself, "This place should be called the City of Sin." ”
The breathing method can make people silent, and with the cloak full of holes on his body, Xia Fei will not attract the attention of others at all when he walks in the crowd.
Xia Fei couldn't help but sigh along the way, the local people who smoked Bliss Powder ***, from the dying old to the children of a few years old, it seems that drugs have become a part of the local people's lives here.
When approaching Boulder City, about a mile away, the dirt road turned into a beautiful stone avenue, and the surrounding crowd was dressed very differently from outside the city, at least it was neat.
The bald man and the three of them were talking quietly while walking, the surrounding sounds were noisy, even Xia Fei couldn't hear them if he pricked up his ears, for prudent reasons, Xia Fei kept a deliberate distance from them, using the surrounding terrain as a cover, and blended in the crowd.
Outside the city is a moat about fifty meters wide, there is a pontoon bridge on the river, and there are more than a dozen fierce guards at the gate of the city, they are staring at everyone who enters and leaves the city with unkind eyes, and the bald three people walk on the pontoon bridge to prepare to enter the city, and the short middle-aged man does not forget to turn his head and glance a few times.
Xia Fei hid in front of a roadside stall selling oranges and pretended to pick fruits, while thinking about how to sneak into the city, it was not difficult for Xia Fei to pass through the door with his speed ability, but among these guards, I don't know if there are any perceptual abilities, and the best way to get into this strange place is not to cause any trouble, the best way is to blend in.
At this time, a hovering truck roared from a distance, frantically honking the tweeter, completely ignoring the large number of pedestrians on the street, rushing all the way, with an arrogant attitude.
The crowd was very interested and immediately got out of the way, no one dared to stop the car from moving forward, Xia Fei quietly bent *** and pretended to tie his shoes, in fact, the corner of his eye has been looking at this speeding hovering car, looking for an opportunity.
The streets were muddy, and the hovercar was pumping out a lot of dirty water as it passed a mud-soaked puddle, and people around them raised their arms and covered their faces with their sleeves.
At this moment, Xia Fei suddenly kicked the ground under his feet, got into it from under the hovering truck, and then used an unbelievable upside-down golden hook action to enter the warehouse from the uncovered place of the canvas.
All of this happened in the fraction of a second, unnoticed by anyone.
The anti-shake system of the hovering truck had been damaged, and the vehicle was unusually bumpy, but Xia Fei was very comfortable in the compartment, because the carriage was full of bags of flour.
Xia Fei *** nose, the taste of these flours is very strange, full of sultry aroma.
Pulling out a short knife from the space ring, Xia Fei gently picked open one of the cloth bags, and a dark yellow powder slowly flowed out of the bag.
"This is Bliss Powder, such a large cart of drugs is only worth more than 100 million star coins." The ghost said.
Xia Fei nodded, seeing that this place seemed to be the lair of drug dealers, such a large amount of drugs could run rampant in the city unscrupulously, coupled with the countless addicts around, Xia Fei concluded that this would never be a peaceful place, and the person nicknamed Hook could not be a drug dealer.
The car obviously had a lot of privileges, and could whizz past the city gate without being checked, and Xia Fei saw that it had entered the city through the canvas defect in the cargo hold, so he slipped out quietly.
White Rock City is quite prosperous, although there are a lot of people, but it is rare to see those pale face addicts, it can be seen that the people who live in the city are still very sensible, and do not touch those terrible yellow powder.
There is a large building in the center of the city, which looks very much like a stadium, the top is shielded with a composite pulse laser, and even a bird cannot fly in, and there are bursts of enthusiastic noise in the stadium from time to time, as if some fierce event is going on, and the voices of the spectators are hoarse and crazy, and they are unenthusiastic.
It was no longer appropriate to wear a torn cloak full of holes in such a place, and Xia Fei did the same, bringing a semi-short cotton robe that the locals often wore from a house, light blue, and a large-brimmed straw hat from the vendor, and blending into the crowd again.
After about a minute or two, the bald man and his two subordinates entered the city, and there was a young man with a mouse eye beside them, and the bald Lu San was very attentive to this young man, and he didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere after him.
A few people walked towards the center of the city, and the small-eyed young man saw that there was something delicious on the side of the road and picked it up and tasted a few bites, and if he thought it was good, he let people wrap it up, and he didn't give money, and the vendors were careful to accompany the smiling faces, and dared not speak angrily.
They walked around the street a few times and came to a large mansion with red walls, the house was surrounded by guards, there were dozens of high-grade hounds alone, and the young man led the bald Lu San not to go through the main entrance, but to turn an alley and enter through the side door.
It was a stout woman who opened the door, and when she saw that no one asked much, she opened the door and let them in.
Xia Fei hid from the sidelines and watched the truth, if he guessed correctly, all these incidents must have come from the hands of this master.
Xia Fei didn't rush in, he walked around the outside of the mansion and chose the most suitable place, where there were few guards, and behind the high wall was a secluded grove, and the surroundings were quiet.
Hiding in the alley, Xia Fei picked up a small pebble from the ground and flicked his right hand lightly.
Scold!
The hound beside the guard in the middle of the stone, the hound couldn't bear the pain, and immediately spread his legs and ran wildly into the distance, the guard still held the reins in his hand, and the hound launched a madness with great strength, and directly dragged him to the ground.
"Help! Dead Dog is going berserk! The innocent guard shouted.
"What's going on?"
"The hound is crazy, stop it!"
The guards around ran over to restrain the hound and rescue their companions, and as soon as they left with their front feet, Xia Fei jumped into the house with their back feet.
……
The house is large and can be described as magnificent, but its interior decoration is like that of this stone-built city, with more than enough atmosphere but lack style in details, which is quite a bit of a big opening and closing.
The room was large and spacious, the sculptures used for decoration were huge and rough, even the hounds were large Saladila wolfdogs, even more burly than humans, and the roads were wide, and the trees on both sides of the road were a little old, and the huge canopy could not breathe.
It is said that it is not suitable to hide his body in this kind of courtyard where everything is atmospheric, but it is not a problem for Xia Fei, the breath collection method provides him with the best protection, even if he walks past others, it is difficult to attract attention.
Xia Fei guessed that the owner of this house should live in the middle of the courtyard or in the back house, so he deliberately followed those wide main roads to find where there were the most people.
Sure enough, Xia Fei heard the bald Lu San's laughter outside a hexagonal building, as if he was happily talking to someone.
There were a lot of big men around who were vigilant and looked around, and it was not very easy to get in, but fortunately, there were huge trees planted on both sides, and since Xia Fei couldn't pass on the ground, he turned his gaze to the air.
With no one around, Xia Fei easily climbed to the top of a big tree, and then moved along a horizontal branch close to the balcony.
Since entering this house, Xia Fei has not found any monitoring facilities, which is very incompatible with the style of the house, it seems that the owner of this house is extremely confident, thinking that a large number of guards alone is enough to defend.
The treetops were only seven or eight meters away from the balcony on the third floor, a gust of wind blew, the trees rattled, the branches and leaves trembled, Xia Fei took this opportunity to gently kick the branches of the trees and slid out like a bird, and landed on the balcony.
Opening the window and sneaking in, Xia Fei came to the first floor in a hurry, only to see that this was a living room, the bald Lu San was chatting and laughing with an old man with a hooked nose, and his two attendants, one tall and one short, were standing a little farther away.
In addition to them, there were dozens of tall and large guards, scattered around and looking outward, and several handsome-looking women kept serving left and right with tea and water.
Needless to say, this eagle hook nose should be the so-called hook, Xia Fei was slightly disappointed, he thought that the hook should be wearing a metal hook in his right hand, just like the legendary iron hook captain, but he was wrong, the reason why the hook has this nickname is not because he has a steel hook on his arm, nor because he has a steel hook as a weapon, but because of his nose.
The weight of this nose is only afraid of more than two catties, Xia Fei has never seen such a huge facial organ in his life, not to mention the towering and straight, the tip of the nose is still curved, like an eagle's beak, weirdly growing on the old man's face, occupying one-third of the face, anyone will be attracted by this unique big nose at first sight, so as to remember this person firmly.
The hook clasped the nostrils with the thumb very disregardingly the image, the nostrils of normal people are small, so they can only accommodate a little finger, but the whole thumb is stuck in and there is still more than half of the gap, Xia Fei suspects that even a fist is likely to be able to accommodate it.
"Well, you have done a good job in this matter, I will definitely reward you heavily, and if you want money or a woman, even if you say it, there is nothing I can't do with Tianjiao." Hook said as he picked his nostrils.
The bald head Lu San and his two subordinates looked very excited, and Lu San hurriedly said: "Master Hook, it is naturally our honor for a few of us to do things for you, how can we accept your things, as long as your old man is happy, we will be happy." ”
Tiangou laughed and said: "Okay, you rabbit cub, you will pat the grandfather's ass, so let's do it, from now on you will be my people, I have a place on the planet Venal VII, which was originally managed by one of my subordinates, but unfortunately this kid is not cautious enough, he was arrested by the Drug Enforcement Administration a while ago, you go there to take care of it." ”
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, it was obvious that they were talking about the drug business, and the hook wanted Lu San and the others to be middlemen, responsible for supplying the addicts.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be addicts, and the prosperous capital star circle is no exception, but I didn't expect the hook's power to have already penetrated into the capital.
Lu San nodded again and again, the drug business can be described as a million profits, countless people want to take risks for it and can't find a way, their underworld heads have long been pinned to the waistband of their trousers, there is nothing they dare not do, it is naturally not a long-term solution to lay a hand on the hook, but as long as there are no problems in three or five years, you can make a lot of money, and when the time comes, you will have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, if you are unfortunately caught, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, and the ancestor does not appreciate food.
Hook and Lu San are not the same level of existence, after a few simple words, he asked someone to send Lu San and them out, Xia Fei secretly wondered, from beginning to end, he only heard them talking about the drug deal, Avril and the Jian family did not say a word, why is this?
Sending Lu San away, the hook stood up and stretched, beckoned a black-faced man next to him.
"What's the Death Matrix game today?" Hook asked.
The black-faced man replied: "There are no new products recently, they are all ordinary duels, today's finale is a high-level warrior of the plant system constellation against a beginner player of the gravitational system star field, the one of the plant department is good at controlling the mandala, which is quite interesting." ”
The hook pouted and said, "The plant-based ability has a fart meaning, it's nothing more than conjuring up a big green leaf, it's boring!" You go and arrange a life-and-death battle tonight, and let a high-level player of the speed system galaxy fight the butcher. ”
The black-faced man had a difficult face, "Master Hook, we don't have high-level speed abilities at hand, just a mid-level little white face of the constellation was crippled by the butcher a few days ago, and now he has been thrown into a mass grave outside the city, you should know this." ”
The hook said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I've prepared it for you, tell the butcher to prepare, his opponent is very strong." ”
Xia Fei's heart contracted suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his heart, "No, there must be something wrong with this!" But what's the problem? ”
Sweeping his gaze around, Xia Fei once again confirmed his exit route, which was also his habit, whenever he entered an unfamiliar place, he would always prepare at least two retreats in advance.
Bang!
At the moment when Xia Fei turned his head, pulsed laser beams suddenly burst out! Completely seal off all retreats on the first floor!
"It's broken! There is an ambush! Xia Fei didn't say a word, his legs kicked the ground with all his might, and the whole person rushed out sideways!
In front of him was a seemingly ordinary concrete wall, and his right arm chased the light and made a series of terrible sounds, breaking through the air! Xia Fei is ready to destroy the wall! This is the last retreat he left for himself in order to prevent the worst from happening!
Eighteen round knives are arranged in a circle in the air, flying and spinning towards the wall, according to Xia Fei's plan, this series of attacks will break a circular hole in the wall just enough for himself to pass through, as long as you pass through this wall, you will enter the back garden, and when the time comes, with your speed and *** vertical double ability, you will definitely be able to kill a bloody way!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The round knife cut accurately on the wall, but the wall did not break, but like a magnet, it firmly attracted Xia Fei's chasing light! Can't move!
Concrete blocks are flying all over the sky!
Xia Fei couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at it, it turned out that this wall leading to the outside world had a mezzanine! The heavy black flash alloy blocked the attack of the chasing light! The black flash alloy is strong and tough, and the razor-sharp light chasing can't break it, and half of the blade is submerged in the wall!
The bodyguards around the hook in the distance heard the movement and gathered around, and dozens of people surrounded Xia Fei.
The hook looked at Xia Fei with his head outside, frowned and said, "The decoration of my house is very expensive, and every wall has a mezzanine, so don't try it if you know each other." ”
Now Xia Fei has completely understood that this was a conspiracy from the beginning! A conspiracy that I didn't even perceive!
He was a little annoyed in his heart, but Xia Fei chose to walk calmly to the wall, pulled out the round knives one by one with his hands, and then reinstalled them on the spring of his right arm.
People have misses, horses have stumbled, Xia Fei is not a saint, so it is impossible to calculate accurately every time, but this time the miss is indeed a bit painful, not only fell for someone else's scheme, but even worse is that Xia Fei doesn't know where he is at all!
Turning his head, Xia Fei looked at the hook very calmly, "Sky hook?" ”
The hook nodded, but didn't say anything.
Xia Fei moved his wrist and walked towards him, those bodyguards couldn't help but retreat, their eyes couldn't stop looking at the hook, as long as he gave an order, these dozens of big men would pounce on him without hesitation.
"There's just one thing I want to know." Xia Fei said calmly.
