Just as Li Mo and Karui were talking about their thoughts on the follow-up improvement of the magic musket, and ordering to do a good job of technical support throughout the process, in the far east of the barren plains, there was also a group of madmen, turning ideas that should not appear in their minds.

They are a group of outlaws, and at the same time a group of homeless people. Li Mo was no stranger to the place where they originally were, in fact, he had appeared there a few months ago, and he showed off his deterrent power to the fullest.

These lunatics are from Sin City in the Forgotten Zone. Speaking of which, they will appear here, and it is not unrelated to Li Mo.

In Sin City, Li Mo neatly killed Haute, who wanted to use force to gain some benefits in his hands, as well as Legge and others, who were hired by Seamus. After that, he left.

Li Mo left simply, but left a mess in Sin City.

Overnight, both Haute and Legge were killed, but their original sphere of influence remained.

Maybe Li Mo didn't even think that he just killed two ill-intentioned teams in Sin City, but he made Sin City uneasy for a long time to come.

Haute is in Sin City, not the top power. However, Legge is different. If it weren't for the high strength, Seamus wouldn't have found them.

After they died, the territory that was originally theirs became a cake with an enticing fragrance, which was grabbed by other forces.

You know, after so many years, the major forces in Sin City have basically stabilized among themselves. Everyone who joins Sin City will be picked by a different team according to their own strength. If nothing happens, there will be no change in the power structure of Sin City for a long time to come.

However, this is no longer the case. Originally, those who were subordinate to others and could only helplessly pick the leftovers that Legge ate suddenly found that there was an opportunity in front of them to ascend to the sky in one step.

So in the next moment, in Sin City, every force that thought they had qualifications began to move, ready to show their skills and make themselves the boss of Sin City completely.

Locke is the loser in this battle for Sin City. Originally, he had the second largest force in Sin City, although he had to look at Leger's face from time to time, but the rest of the time was still very moist.

But things change after Leger's team separates and collapses overnight. Regardless of whether Locke has the intention of participating in the competition or not, others will think that Locke will have such thoughts.

What's more, Locke himself is also a person who is not willing to be lonely. When such an opportunity appeared in front of him, he naturally had to fight for it.

Unfortunately, most of the time, things are not as rosy as you think.

It's like a long-distance race, and the one who starts first often doesn't get the final victory. Because you have to bear more pressure than other people, and this pressure tends to crush people.

Locke was in a similar situation, after the battle began, others who thought they were not as powerful as Locke had invisibly reached a tacit understanding and aimed their attacks at this common enemy.

As a result, Locke, who originally had the best chance of winning, was defeated in the wave of concerted efforts of the people and became the first team to be eliminated.

If it's just a long run, then failing is just starting over. There will still be a chance to prove yourself next time.

But in Sin City, Locke, who lost this battle, if he doesn't give up, then he can only face the smile of the god of the underworld.

Locke is not a dead brain, nor is he a tough guy who is not afraid of death. So, in the face of the impending defeat, he escaped very simply, with his trusted subordinates.

These subordinates may not have followed Locke because of his personal charm. In fact, there will never be such a leader in the Forgotten Zone, and there will never be such a fool's subordinate.

Because whoever has such a faithful heart has long been killed in the shadow.

Some of Locke's subordinates were the grassroots leaders under Locke before, and they had been firmly branded by Locke, and it was impossible for them to be trusted by other forces.

Some of them usually take advantage of Locke's prestige to have irreconcilable hatred with other forces.

In short, these people who would have had to face death if they remained in Sin City followed Locke and escaped from Sin City.

However, after leaving Sin City, a new problem arose, and they were already homeless.

Other cities would not allow so many people to enter their sphere of influence. Not to mention, each of them is still a former comrade-in-arms, which greatly increases the risk of their rebellion.

As power leaders in other cities, they don't need the loyalty of newcomers. But they need benefits, and they need to use them to bind their subordinates and ensure that they do not die from the ambitions of their subordinates.

Although the latter point is just a luxury. But the former point, if possible, they still need to be guaranteed.

It's just that Locke's subordinates, the powerful team, don't want such an old oilman who has been crawling in the Forgotten Zone for many years. And a weak team will not need to have subordinates who can kill the leader at any time.

Again, the forces in the Forgotten Zone are intricate. Between people, between various forces, large and small, there is a lot of calculation, intrigues, and all kinds of other things.

The only thing that doesn't exist is trust.

In this case, Locke found that he was soon at the end of his rope.

A person, if faced with such a threat, can easily become a madman.

Even if he didn't collapse, he was actually crazy. Since it's all death anyway, many things that I didn't dare to think about or do before now have no scruples.

Locke was like that, and in this case, an idea of what he considered a genius arose in his mind.

He's going to regain his power, whether it's in Sin City or any other city.

And with his current ability, it is really impossible to do this. Therefore, he needs a way to improve his strength as soon as possible.

In this way, he set his sights on the Thor Merchant Group who were selling goods on the border of the Barren Plains, and what could be more suitable for him than their equipment.

As for how to face the retaliation of the forces behind the Thor Merchant Group after success, Locke at this time could no longer care about it.

In short, I want to survive.
