Chapter 218: It's over
After saying goodbye to Bao Tu, Ling Tao was in no mood, when he thought that the source bead worth 20,000 bullets had slipped away in front of his eyes, he wanted to die, 20,000 bullets, how many things do you have to exchange?
"This guy, won't he be unhappy because I gave that spider to the boss and got a benefit", looking at Ling Tao's 'lost soul' leaving, Bao Tu thought in his heart, how did he know, it was not the same thing at all.
That depressed and helpless mood, Ling Tao only saved it for a few minutes, after all, no matter how depressed he was, the source bead had already been eaten by the gorilla, even if it was never done again, he didn't have the ability to snatch the source bead from the gorilla's mouth, of course, killing the gorilla with a bomb was another matter, at that time the gorilla had no hostility towards him, and the chance of success was quite large.
Soon Ling Tao's mood suddenly improved again, because he suddenly thought that in the future, he would no longer have to worry about whether to absorb the life energy in the corpse of the hunted mutant beast, what kind of corpse do you need, as long as you get a grain of source liquid, although the probability of the source liquid appearing is a little smaller, but if you work hard, it is not difficult to get, for a moment, Ling Tao even wanted to run back to Zhoujia Village again and pull out Zhou Mancang's corpse red hand .......
"It's so decided, go out to hunt mutant beasts in the future, and you don't have to bother to get the corpses back, you only need valuable things on their bodies, fur and scale armor, and most importantly, the source liquid and source beads, this thing, how much mutant beast meat is on top of it", Ling Tao said secretly in his heart.
Passing by the potholed street, he looked around, but unfortunately he still did not see the touching red figure.
The habit was to wash up in the free bathhouse, and then I was able to return to the residential area of Xihe City, and the car could not be driven in, so I could only park outside the living area, the key was in my hand, and I paid the care fee for a bullet, and I was not afraid that others would steal it.
When he returned to the No. 121 board house where they lived, Zhou Lin had not yet returned. After a busy day, the villagers were also hungry, so they cooked, still porridge. It's not that I can't afford to eat white rice, it's just that because I don't have vegetables, I forgot to buy vegetables when I came back, so I can only drink the jerky brought out by the porridge to deal with it.
No matter when, no matter how much the world changes. As long as people live, in fact, the main theme of life is still these trivial things of eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping, even if you are peerless, even if you are a high authority, even if you are rampant in the world, eating and sleeping still occupy most of the day, and no matter how hard you work, isn't it just to be able to eat and sleep peacefully.
As soon as the meal was ready, Ling Tao and the others didn't have time to eat, and Zhou Lin came back. Everyone was a little skeptical that this guy was secretly watching from the sidelines, and when the meal was ready, ...... appeared.
Zhou Lin was also quite surprised to see Ling Tao and them come back so quickly, after all, judging from yesterday's experience, the hunter's line of work was quite difficult, and they basically didn't come back until it was almost dark.
During the meal, the villagers roughly told Zhou Lin about today's situation, everyone is in a group, there is nothing to hide, for Ling Tao, they actually let a mutated gorilla be their free bodyguard. Zhou Lin was skeptical and quite surprised at the same time, but it was a pity that he was not there at the time.
"By the way, Brother Lin, how is the matter that asked you to inquire"? After they finished speaking, Ling Tao came to Zhou Lin and asked.
Heard Ling Tao ask. Zhou Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks and said seriously: "Today I went around Xihe City a few times, asked many people to inquire, and even spent money (bullets) to inquire, basically figuring out the situation in Xihe City."
"Let's talk about ......," Ling Tao nodded.
"The entire Xihe City is still the official decision. And it is no longer the implementation of the previous set of so-called team policies, but the situation of Yiyantang, the person in charge of the entire Xihe City is surnamed Tian, a single name is a mountain character, he used to be just the director of the county public security bureau, because his subordinates are in charge of a vote of police, there are guns, and then those county magistrates are squeezed away, forming a situation where he is now a word, this person is a capable person, and I don't know where to get a batch of troops/fire, quickly pulled up a huge armed force, and now, the entire Xihe City, he has the final say, Zhou Lin whispered.
Ling Tao nodded, and asked thoughtfully: "Then his subordinates, that is, the current Xihe City, belong to the official, that is, Tian Shan's subordinates, how many armed forces are there?"
Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "Tian Shan is a very capable person, after sitting in the position of the 'boss' of Xihe City, he eliminated those moths in his physique, like those who were eating and waiting to die in the police, urban management and other departments, and then he recruited those who had been soldiers or were in good health in the city, distributed equipment, and trained them, and became the armed forces in Xihe City today, conservatively estimated, in Xihe City today, Tian Shan's subordinates have at least 20,000 armed forces"!
"So much"! Hearing the number in Zhou Lin's mouth, Ling Tao said that he was quite surprised, a small county town has a total population of only more than 200,000, and Tianshan actually pulled up an armed force of 20,000 people, how did he do it? What does he want to do?
"Although it's incredible, it's true, as for how he did it, I don't know, so this is a very capable person," Zhou Lin sighed.
Ling Tao was silent, the so-called point to face, from the situation of the small Xihe City, he can understand the general situation of S City, S City is not much larger than Xihe City, the population is at least ten times more than here, in this way, the armed forces under the Song family are really not too few, there are more people who work for them, under the huge supply of resources, there must be a large number of capable people, Ling Tao wants to find Song Hui for revenge, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.
Putting this question aside, Ling Tao asked again: "What about the others, other aspects of Xihe City, such as what are some notable forces, how many hunter teams are there, and what are those armed forces belonging to Tian Shan doing outside the city to protect the city?"
"Well, I have carefully understood these, although those black forces in Xihe City are not worth mentioning in front of Tianshan's official forces, but for us they are still behemoths that cannot be provoked, as Liang Ping said, we should not provoke the three forces even if they suffer, that is, the Black Tiger Hall, the Big Knife Gang and the Blood Knife Society, the Black Tiger Hall is the most powerful, there are one or two thousand people under it, there are many guns, the big knife will be the second, there are more than a thousand people, in addition to these weapons, their standard is to have a big knife in each person, and then the blood knife will be again, The number of people is less than five hundred, but everyone is ruthless, even the Black Tiger Hall and the Big Knife Gang do not provoke them lightly many times, and then about the hunter team, no one has specifically counted this, but it is conservatively estimated that in Xihe City, there are at least more than 10,000 people who are desperate to do this business, divided into countless hunter teams large and small, a few small people, dozens of people and hundreds of large ones, as for what the official armed forces are doing outside of guarding the city, this is not something I can inquire." Zhou Lin answered Ling Tao's question in detail.
In this way, Ling Tao has an intuitive understanding of Xihe City, so he can speculate that I am afraid that the current situation of S City is similar to that of Xihe City, and it is also the official Yiyantang of the Song family, and then the fish and dragons below are very chaotic.
The so-called quantitative change causes qualitative change, in front of such a behemoth, Ling Tao has always had a clear positioning of himself, although he has a little ability, but there are so many people under them, there must be a lot of strange things, time has passed for so long, there must be a first-order warrior strength of the birth of a person, and it must not be just one, Ling Tao wants to take revenge, it is a little difficult.
"What about the others?" Ling Tao put aside the question and asked again.
"Other aspects, it is the living conditions of the people in Xihe City, in general, it is divided into several aspects, the first is to join the official, followed by the various black forces, and then the dry hunters, this is the main body of several ways of survival, secondly, it is to do things for others, for example, those who clean the city have tens of thousands, can mix food and clothing, secondly, it is to do other trivial things, such as working for people or something, well, I heard that many people who are not too bad in appearance will almost be hired by some capable people, In this way, one of these women will be able to support the family ......," Zhou Lin said in detail.
In fact, knowing this place, Ling Tao probably knew that the 200,000 people in Xihe City, if the general division of labor was divided into these aspects, it was almost like a hunter, one person could probably feed a family, even if there were other lifestyles, it would not attract much attention.
Anyway, human beings are very adaptable, as long as there are people who survive, they can always find ways to survive.
"Well, what about the news about Wanshan's Hunter Team"? Ling Tao thought for a while and asked, this was what he was more concerned about.
Zhou Lin glanced at Ling Tao and said, "Wan Shan is dead, I found it this morning, fortunately, his head was destroyed when he died, and it didn't cause any waves, the tree fell and scattered, after Wan Shan died, the hunter team was disbanded, and those people were either accepted by other hunter teams or divided up by some black forces."
"Well, no one is going to find out how he died"? Ling Tao asked with some confusion, if you die a million mountains, it's over? Then why did you run to kill him? Wouldn't it be enough to kill him directly on last night's conflict?
"No, I heard that after his body was found, he was dragged out and burned soon after, and no one asked about him", Zhou Lin shrugged and replied.
Okay, Ling Tao was speechless, he felt that he regarded himself too much, and he thought that someone would come to ask him, and it would not be a matter ......at all to die for a long time.
(Ask for a monthly pass to collect recommended rewards...... (To be continued.) )
