Chapter 26 Incident
Qianye jumped into the truck, searched carefully inside and out, made sure that he had eliminated all traces of himself, and then searched for a Force gun from the guards and Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was wearing a pistol-type Force gun. The model is called the Wasp, and it is of good quality, with a Force conversion rate of 30%, which can already be regarded as a second-level firearm. The guard is an assault rifle type, a second-hand product retired from the expeditionary corps, or a product of the last century, although old, but barely classified as a first-class product.
The criteria for classifying Force firearms are the same for the Imperial and Dark Races, with the core metric being the Force conversion rate. 20% is the minimum starting line, 20% is a level 1 gun, and then every 10% conversion rate increases by one level. For example, the special edition of the scorpion needle of the red scorpion is level four, and the basic version of the flowing golden rose that Qianye got should be regarded as level three. As for the old antique Dawnlight Type 1, it is not even a level 1 at all nowadays.
Qianye also found the Mithril Bullet from the guard, this little guy is a weapon against the dark race. He opened the sealed box and looked at it, and the rich Mithril breath still made him feel uncomfortable.
However, the previous battle with the Blood Clan made Qianye see a new possibility, if he could control the blood power in his body to infuse the original energy bomb, maybe he would not have to rely only on silver poison when dealing with the Blood Clan in the future. According to the results of the battle against the fourth-level blood clan elder, the heavy warhead is activated, and the additional damage of the blood qi to the blood clan can basically kill the blood clan warrior of the same level of combat power in one shot. When facing a Blood Clan warrior who is one or two levels higher, if a shot hits the vital point, it should also be able to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
Qianye couldn't understand the abnormality in himself at this time, but he had the most simple and pragmatic style of a soldier, using all means to fight the enemy, only asking about the battle results, not the cause and effect.
In addition to these equipment, Thousand Nights also found more than a dozen Imperial Gold Coins. Even for Qi Yue's status, it can be regarded as a lot of wealth.
Qianye ripped off the tactical backpack from the guard, emptied the unused clutter inside, leaving only a set of precision tools for gun maintenance, and then put the Golden Rose, a tributary of the Blood Clan, and all the tactical accessories inside. The guard's assault rifles were dismantled and packed into backpacks.
With only the full Dawn Light and Wasp on his body, he began to turn back. Soon Qianye found the box he was hiding, and he sat next to him and practiced for a while, then he heard the timing lock of the suitcase sound crisply, and the three-hour alert time had arrived.
With a flick of the switch on the suitcase, the lid pops open automatically, revealing a cargo covered in a thick flannel cloth, on which a small Force level is fixed, with a blue lead on one end as a timing device and a red lead extending all the way to the lid.
The inside of the upturned lid was filled with plastic explosives, which was enough to blow up the contents of the box and the person who took the box.
Senya carefully dismantled the level, timer, and automatic detonator, then lifted the flannel and immediately gasped, his face gradually flushed with anger.
Inside the suitcase were four black crystals, each the size of a palm, about a centimeter thick.
Sombra!
Qianye didn't expect that Qi Yue's deal with the Blood Clan would be to exchange Black Crystal for the Force Gun!
The black crystal in the box is a standard cutting unit, and the engraving mark is medium purity, which is not an ordinary combustion drive energy, but a manufacturing-grade black crystal! One of the important uses of the Thousand Nights known is to make the energy compression magazine of the Force firearm.
If these labeled Sombra are used in Level 3 Force Firearms, each piece can be used to make two, and if Level 4 Force Firearms are used to make one, two pieces can be made.
It seems that the power behind Qi Yue has a channel to obtain a stable source of black crystals, and only then will he have the idea of trading with the blood clan for a long time.
And that fully equipped flowing gold rose has both artistic value, if it is taken to the middle and upper continent for auction, it can be exchanged for twenty standard units of black crystal. With a full four times the profit, it's no wonder they dare to take such a big risk to trade with the Bloodline. Once this channel is opened, the gold coins will naturally roll in.
However, what made Qianye angry was that if these black crystals fell into the hands of the Blood Clan, they would turn into a full eight Golden Roses! If it was an ordinary third-level Force Gun that was not so elegant, ten could be made! After deducting other expenses, this transaction would be more than three times more profitable for the Blood Clan.
Among the dark races, the Bloods have always been the Terrans' worst enemies, as humans are still one of the main dishes on their recipes. In the depths of the Eternal Night Continent, and on the continent controlled by the Dark Race, there are countless humans who are kept in captivity like livestock, providing food for the Bloods.
Thousands of years of hatred can no longer be resolved in any way, only to die.
But in this context, the Qi family actually secretly traded the strategic material of Black Crystal to the blood clan. Under the laws of the Empire, any connection to the dark race is a felony, and if discovered, it is a minimum sentence of life imprisonment. And the Qi family's current behavior is completely enough to annihilate the entire clan.
However, Qianye's short service experience in Red Scorpion tells him that things are not so simple. In the Eternal Night Continent, far from the Empire's homeland, the Imperial Expeditionary Force is the master. And the background of the Qi family is the Imperial Expeditionary Force, if what Qi Yue said is true, he is still the illegitimate son of an active division commander of the Expeditionary Force.
Regardless of whether there is a bigger black hand behind this transaction that was disrupted by Qianye, only the above two relationships are there, not to mention bringing the Qi family to justice, the first thing he has to worry about is the hunt he will face next. And probably a wanted notice issued in the name of the expeditionary force.
After thinking about it for a while, Qianye decided to change the original plan, he put away the black crystal, and returned to the battlefield with the blood clan with the box, fortunately there was no trace of outsiders entering the scene.
He quickly swept the perimeter, lined up the corpses of the three Bloods, then reset the time-delay detonator on the lid of the suitcase, placed it on the corpse, and turned to leave.
A few minutes later, Qianye heard a roar behind him, and the flames of the explosion soared dozens of meters up. The power of these explosives was indeed strong enough, and under an explosion of this magnitude, the corpses of the Bloods would surely be torn apart, and it would be difficult to find out the cause of their deaths.
Qianye discerned the direction and did not return to Blackstream City, but walked north. From that direction, you can reach the Rock Territory, which is the garrison area of the 3rd Division of the Expeditionary Force.
Unlike the relatively calm Blackflow City, the Rock Territory is on the front line of the conflict with the dark races, and there are many powerful forces mixed together. Filled with mercenaries, hunters, and gangs large and small, the situation is much more complicated, and the expeditionary force is far less dominant than Blackstream.
Once there, Chiya will re-plan the way forward.
In Yunfan City, less than two hundred kilometers away from Blackstream City, Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan got up on time at five o'clock, and then walked into his office when the big self-striking bell struck six o'clock. In his more than 30 years in the army, this habit has never changed.
It was still dark, and it would take another five hours for the sun to shine down on the edge of the pelagic continent. However, hundreds of blazing gas lamps illuminated the school field as if it were daytime, and a group of soldiers had already had morning exercises on the school field, and the slogans were one after another, and the murderous atmosphere was vigorous.
Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan is not tall, but he is as strong as steel. A pair of thick eyebrows are like sharp blades out of the sheath, and although the eyes are disproportionately small, they are full of essence in the two thin slits.
He stood in front of the window, looked at the warriors with dragon and wolf spirit on the school field, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to his desk, picked up the latest Imperial Post News, and read it.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, Wu Zhengnan's face sank, he was a little displeased, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come in!"
Six to seven o'clock in the morning was the time for him to read the latest news and think about the political situation in the Empire, there was nothing important, and it was forbidden to disturb.
The door was gently pushed open, and a rather attractive female adjutant walked in and said, "General, Director Qi said that he has something important to look for you." ”
Qi Sicheng, the logistics director of the Seventh Division, is quite effective, and his means of greedy for money are reasonable, and he has never caused any trouble for Wu Zhengnan.
The important thing is that he also has a rather bewitching wife, who has been for more than 20 years, and has always made Wu Zhengnan very satisfied and obsessed with her. That woman also quietly gave birth to a son to Wu Zhengnan, but Qi Sicheng didn't know anything about this matter.
Wu Zhengnan's voice softened a little and said, "Let him come in." ”
Although Qi Sicheng is nearly sixty years old, he looks only in his early forties, and he is tall and handsome, full of the charm of a middle-aged man. However, in front of Wu Zhengnan, who was of medium stature, Qi Sicheng was like a sheep seeing a tiger, not only bending down and smiling, but also always giving people a feeling of cringe.
Wu Zhengnan just likes his attitude. But on the surface, he still put on a gentle smile and said, "Old Qi, come and sit, there are no outsiders here now." ”
Qi Sicheng straightened his waist and said, "General, this is in the army." There is a clear distinction between the top and bottom in the army, and order must not be chaotic!"
Wu Zhengnan sighed and said, "Old Qi, you are always so old-fashioned! I have said how many times you have been, when there are no outsiders, relax and feel free! Alas, okay, you came to me at this time, there must be something wrong, tell me!"
Qi Sicheng lowered his voice and said, "Last night's transaction went wrong, and Qi Yue and his entourage died outside the city. ”
"What!" Wu Zhengnan stood up suddenly, his face instantly turned pale, "What's going on? Isn't everything arranged? Could it be that those blood clans are rebelling?"
"Not those cold-blooded monsters. My men found the remains of the bodies of three vampires nearby, as well as the fragments of the box containing the shipment. But the things that were traded on both sides are gone. ”
Wu Zhengnan's anger quickly subsided, calmed down, and said, "So, someone else is eyeing our transaction?"
Qi Sicheng said slowly: "I don't think it's very likely. This is the first transaction, and the purpose is just to explore the way and open up the channel with this side. The value of the transaction is not large, and the news is strictly confidential, and there are only a few people who pass through it, and not all of them know all the links. I've checked them all and there's nothing wrong with them. So I think the biggest possibility is that some people happened to pass by the trading place and robbed the goods. ”
Wu Zhengnan's face sank like water, and he asked coldly: "Did you find any clues?"
