Chapter 135: Attention
It was a special day and an unforgettable day for the citizens who lived in the outer circle of Yangcheng and the stone hunters who came to Yangcheng with the dream of making a fortune, and on this day, a team of stone hunters named "Lonely Mound" was established on this day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The three founders didn't attract much attention when they first entered Yangcheng, except for a few words with the soldiers at the city gate, and a few questions to the staff of the Permit Office and the Hunter's Hall, only the small conflict that took place outside the hall made some people remember the man in the black robe and covered with black cloth.
In a place where there are occasional murders, breaking a person's knuckles is not a big deal, and most of the people who are looking for accomplices and other work at the door forget about the black-robed man in a blink of an eye until he reappears.
Five red-dyed sacks of linen dragged a long trail of blood on the street, and the heart of the mutant rat still contained some blood, which was not touched, not absorbed, squeezed and overflowed from each other, and the sack became a paintbrush stained with red ink.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, before dinner, there are people who go out to buy vegetables, there are people who go home from work, the main road connecting the city gate is relatively wide, and it is even more lively, but everyone who sees Chen Zhen, sees those red sacks, and sees the long bloodstains, all stop and look blankly.
Wherever Chen Zhen went, the surroundings would become very quiet, as if he didn't know, he walked forward silently, and after walking over, the thick smell of blood wafted out, and the people who looked at his background would cover their noses and talk again.
The young man of the middle-aged woman in the certificate office stood at the door, looking at Chen Zhen blankly, they all remembered the black robe, although the robe had been hardened by dried blood, and it had lost its soft feeling, but the style had not changed, and it was even heavier.
"Their papers will indeed be stained red with blood, but it is not their blood." The young man said to the middle-aged woman with a smile.
The middle-aged woman's face was slightly red, she glanced at the young man, opened her mouth to say something, but didn't say it, and turned around and returned to the certificate office with a heavy heart.
At the door of the hunter hall, there are more people than at noon, some stone hunter teams come here to recruit people, replenish the lost manpower, a large number of stone hunter teams emerge, the level is uneven, and people who are not very good also have the opportunity to join, but they are likely to become lost manpower, and those hunter teams that are not strong will come here to recruit new warriors, and the cycle continues.
Everyone has a chance, and whether they can seize it or not depends on their strength.
Chen Zhen came, grabbing the nylon rope and dragging the sack, the blood stains had become a little thin and intermittent, but the fishy smell was even heavier.
The crowd moved out of the way and looked at him in amazement, some remembering that he was the one who broke someone's finger at noon, while others looked at the sackcloth and wondered what was inside.
Chen Zhen stopped, turned around and thanked the captain who had been following him in, and the people around him scattered and formed a circle.
"You're welcome." The captain of the soldiers waved his hand and turned to leave, it was because he followed that Chen Zhen saved a lot of trouble, otherwise there would be many soldiers along the way to ask, the captain still did this for a certain reason, and being able to get to know a person who killed hundreds of mutant rats alone in a few hours would only be good for him, not harmful.
The soldiers who were guarding in front of the hunter hall to maintain order also remembered Chen Zhen, pushed away the crowd and walked over, looked at the red bags on the ground, smelled blood, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is this ...... It can't be a corpse, right? How many people did you kill? Or did you cut a big mouse? ”
Staying here for a long time to resolve the conflict, his voice was very loud and loud, and as soon as he spoke, even people who didn't notice the situation here looked over and gathered one after another.
"Heart." Chen Zhen replied simply.
"Huh?" The soldier was stunned, and after a while he came back to his senses and asked, "Heart?" ”
Chen Zhen nodded: "Mutant rat's." ”
"Ahh Got it. Only then did the soldier remember the second-level task that few people performed, and the people around him also "buzzed" and whispered.
"What about your two companions?" The soldier turned his head to look around again, thought of a possibility, and asked, "Wouldn't they all be dead?" ”
"We've made an appointment to meet here." Chen Zhen also turned his head to look around.
"Oh." The soldier nodded again, suddenly froze, and asked with a frown, "You went to the rat hole alone to kill?" ”
Chen Zhen let out an absent-minded "um", looking for Duan Zhengming and Yang Yan's figures.
The people around were listening quietly, hearing this, the remarks rang out, like a fried pot, a person went deep into the rat hole, did not need to take care of his companions, the action was indeed very convenient, but a person had to face countless "hungry" mutant mice, either to death, or confident to the point of some narcissism, this person in the black robe was obviously the latter, and even if he was narcissistic, he also had the capital to love, after all, he came back alive and brought back so many hearts.
Not only them, but even the nearby soldiers turned their heads to each other.
The soldier in the circle looked at Chen Zhen blankly, he was already very clear now, this person was by no means an embroidered pillow, and the phrase "the battle will end soon" was not a sign of arrogance, and now recalling the tone in which Chen Zhen said this sentence at noon, it already showed that he had a strong confidence in his own strength, and he couldn't hear it at the time, but now there is evidence in front of him.
In the sound of conversation, the sound of "borrowed, borrowed" sounded, and the people around stood very crowded, and if someone wanted to come in, they had to push it away, and many people were annoyed by the push and shouted loudly.
"Squeeze in!"
"Stepping on Lao Tzu's feet!"
"Something!"
"Damn!"
A strong man reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the man who was squeezed in by the cat's waist, but the next moment, his wrist was grabbed, and he was caught by a handsome young man with a straight nose following the man.
"What? Do you want to fight? The strong man had a fiery temper, and he let go of his shoulders and turned his wrists, trying to buckle the young man's wrists, but when he let go of his shoulders, the young man also let go of his hands.
He drew a circle in the air, it looked a little ridiculous, the strong man felt a little embarrassed, annoyed and angry, just wanted to speak, suddenly realized that the surroundings were very quiet, those who were still complaining just now actually did not open their mouths to scold the person who squeezed in it, although he was grumpy, but he was not a tenacious person, the hand stretched out to the young man's collar was frozen in the air, and slowly turned his head to look behind him.
The young man in a black robe and a black cloth came behind him at some point, and stood quietly, like a spirit behind his back, the nylon rope tied to the sackcloth bag was still wrapped around his left palm, and his right hand had been raised and stretched out to the back of the strong man's neck, also frozen in the air.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the strong man's forehead, he was also an experienced stone hunter, belonging to an old team of hunters, the other party's hand was so close to the back of his neck, he was not alert at all, and he didn't know if his neck would break when he grabbed the young man's collar.
But isn't retracting your hand tantamount to admitting that you're scared? It doesn't matter if you can't beat it, no one is the best in the world anyway, and it doesn't matter if you lose face, but if you lose face with their team, the consequences will be very serious.
Fortunately, the soldier came over in time and reprimanded: "What are you doing, don't fight, you don't know the rules after coming for so long, put your hands down for Lao Tzu!" ”
The hunter team fought with each other, it was not good for anyone, although he was reprimanding, but it was the steps, after the strong man heard it, he slowly withdrew his hand, and at the same time, Chen Zhen's hand was also slowly put down.
"That's not the right amount, why are there so many pockets?" Duan Zhengming didn't want their fame to be based on conflict, seeing that Chen Zhen withdrew his hand, he pointed to the sackcloth bag and asked, attracting everyone's attention.
The strong man also took this opportunity to retreat into the crowd, looking at the soldiers and Duan Zhengming's eyes full of gratitude.
"There's a big one, and I killed some on the way out." Chen Zhen dragged the nylon rope and dragged the pocket over.
"That's enough, let's go, hand in the mission." Duan Zhengming said that he was about to walk into the hunter hall.
"Uh, a few people, please wait." The soldier hurriedly stopped the three of them and said, "Don't bring this bloody bag to the hall, the blood on the street will be washed away when it rains, and we will have to wipe the blood inside. ”
"It's fine." Duan Zhengming stopped, nodded, and waited for the soldier to walk quickly into the hunter's hall, where he told Chen Zhen about the progress on their side.
He and Yang Yan were not idle, they ran for an afternoon, their money to buy a house is not enough, renting a house is more than enough, but to open a first aid station, you have to be close to the city wall, and the place can not be too remote, otherwise the seriously injured will die before they are delivered, and they walked around Liangcheng for a circle and a half, but they fancy some suitable places, but most of the residents also rent houses, even if they are the owners of the house, they are not willing to rent for various reasons, if they can rob them, maybe they will be robbed early, but the house can not be carried away, can only be in a hurry.
"I really can't do it, I can only pay a high price, just when the task is completed, I can have more money, and it is a huge amount of money to sell the stones, I don't believe it, I can't smash it with money." Duan Zhengming said helplessly.
The soldier also came down with the person in charge of the mission, a middle-aged man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and triangular eyes and eyebrows, it was the same one that Duan Zhengming had seen before, the hunter hall was different from other departments, and it was open until midnight before closing.
Seeing the five blood-red sacks on the ground, the task leader looked at Duan Zhengming, then at Chen Zhen, and said, "Let's start counting." ”
Chen Zhen leaned over and untied the nylon rope that tied the mouth of the bag.
