Chapter 124: Silent Incursion
The bells of the City Lord's Mansion slowly echoed in the gray sky, and the bells were inaudible when they reached the civilian area.
This is the only way for civilians who have lived in densely packed bungalows for a long time to know the time. It rings at 12 noon and 0 o'clock each time, and in addition, it is a long time like a year.
The road to the consecration was the opposite of the original inner city with dilapidated houses, neat and orderly, and even a touch of the scent of cleaning could be smelled on the ground.
Looking at the road made of bluestone slabs, several people felt some emotion in their hearts.
Not far away, under the gray sky, a group of black wooden houses revealed a deathly silence, and the eerie atmosphere was accompanied by a few small sounds of rustling, which formed a strong contrast with the pre-apocalyptic scene seen in the yellow sand, as if the originally high heaven was forcibly dragged down to hell by the devil.
"You've heard that a lot of people died in this operation......"
"yes, it seems that most of them are dead, and they haven't even brought back their bodies......"
"Tsk...... is so tragic, then this operation must have gained a lot, but I don't know how much residue the upper echelons of officials are willing to give to us, the people, is the ...... of strength."
"These monsters are getting stronger...... It's not just us, I'm afraid even those upper-class nobles are having a hard time...... And things don't seem to be quite right in the Dark River, lately......"
The sounds of conversation in the civilian area came one after another.
Soon, midnight fell, the cries of the children, the chattering of the adults, the shouts gradually faded away, and every family fell asleep.
Lin Yetian and the others walked in the civilian area, looking at the street that had been silent for a while, and did not speak, and the city guard chief who followed the way silently turned away.
And behind you.
The silence lasted for more than ten minutes, and at the edge of the slum, a dozen figures from a newly covered house came out one after another, walking lightly towards the place where the incident had happened during the day.
Moments later, the figures arrived at the location, and the leader gestured, and they dispersed, crashing into the doors of several surrounding prefabricated houses, subduing the startled civilians.
Crying and shouting in the darkness came to an abrupt end. The noisy civilians were covered with their mouths covered.
In the silence, shouts were heard in the surrounding board rooms, of course, but they were too busy to take care of themselves, and their small rooms were also full of people.
"May the Lord bless you. ”
A low voice slowly echoed in the ears of a civilian, and then, immediately after, a wave of pain came, and he silently lowered his head in shock.
His heart was gouged out.
......
"What are the contribution points?" Under the dim light, Lin Yetian casually asked the city guard officer who was leading the way.
Xue Muyan raised her head and glanced at the white light silently, and her heart was silent for a while. It's hard to get enough power in such a situation, even if it's just a faint light.
"Do you want to contribute?" the city guard explained, realizing that the men might be newcomers who had only recently arrived, in as much detail as possible.
"Contribution points can be counted as the common currency of the central camp, since the establishment of the central camp, all the original currency systems in the blue world have completely collapsed, and now the only thing that can be traded is contribution points, except for bartering. ”
Without waiting for Lin Yetian to continue to ask, the city guard officer continued:
"There are many ways to earn contribution points, like when we are city guards, we will have three to five contribution points every day, but the fastest way to get them is to go out and hunt monsters. ”
"The hunted monsters can be divided into five levels according to the food volume, which is roughly equivalent to the danger level of the monster, for example, this time it is said that hunting a fourth-level dangerous monster can also be counted as a fourth-level food level, and you can get thousands of contribution points......"
"However, the team that can kill this fourth-level monster has to be said to be really terrifying, I have never heard of a team that has injured a fourth-level creature before......"
The city guard officer said with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
"What about civilians?" Lin Yetian asked.
"Civilians?" the city guard officer's expression was a little disdainful: "That group of fart people, it's good to survive, and they still want to contribute points?" However, it is that group of lowly businessmen who can speculate and sell some contribution points. ”
Lin Yetian didn't speak again, but Xue Muyan became a little strange:
"Didn't you just say that you can only exchange contribution points for supplies here, and how can merchants still buy and sell contribution points?"
It's as if everyone is using money to buy things, but there are a handful of people who specialize in selling money.
"Because of the existence of the black market. ”
"Black market?"
"That's right. Most merchants will use the black market to launder some of the contribution points obtained by sellers through shady means through trading, and sell them to civilians at a slightly lower price, while they take a part of the share as remuneration......"
"Isn't this money laundering? At this time, there is still such a thing? What other improper means are there, it is obviously killing people and extorting goods. Lin Yetian sighed a little.
The city guard officer did not speak, because the doorway in this was no longer something that a small city guard soldier could talk about, and if he didn't go any further, he might bring ominous trouble to himself.
"Speaking of which, how do you divide those doomsday creatures?" Xue Muyan was silent for a while, and asked seriously again, the human traces that appeared on the "siren head" before made her silently keep an eye on her.
"Doomsday creatures, do you mean level or ......?"
"Kind. ”
Xue Muyan said solemnly.
The city guard officer thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke uncertainly:
"In terms of species, there are creatures that originally existed in the blue world but mutated after the apocalypse, such as mutated toothed rats, some creatures or phenomena that originally only existed in legends, such as the legend of black blood and people without shadows, and then some otherworldly creatures that we have never seen before, such as demons and the like......"
"Are you sure there are no man-made monsters?"
"Man-made monsters?" the city guard was slightly stunned, and then smiled a little noncommittally: "How could humans create such monsters? ”
Hearing this, Xue Muyan frowned, supported her cheeks with her bare hands, and silently looked at the ground and thought with a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water.
There had been no signs of man-made monsters before......
However, the chip crystal in the skull of the trumpet monster at that time was real......
Other words......
Xue Muyan's gaze was like a torch, and she already had a vague guess in her heart.
In the darkness of the night, with the help of the faint light, several people walked to the front of a building and stopped.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is the dedication house in front of you. Adults can go on their own, and the younger ones will wait for a few adults. ”
The city guard bowed silently.
Xue Muyan nodded, and turned her head to carefully look at this dedication place by the faint light.
In the center of the main hall of the dedication is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, on which is placed a gold lacquer carved dragon throne, and behind it is a carved dragon enclosure
Screen, there are six tall dragon golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, each big pillar
A vigorous golden dragon coiled around it;
Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon pan dragon on the central caisson well, a silver-white big round bead hangs down from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads, the dragon head, the treasure bead is facing the golden luan throne below, the color painting between the beams is gorgeous, bright and pleasing to the eye, the red and yellow gold dragon pattern pattern, there are double dragons playing with pearls, the single dragon flies and dances; there are walking dragons, sitting dragons, flying dragons, descending dragons, colorful, the dragon's surroundings are also lined with flowing clouds and flames.
The main building is made of a color bluestone, straight up to seven floors, and the stone strips are again
Deliberately not polished and flat, rough and dignified, like a giant exposed
A strong chest and a generous bosom.
In addition, the statue of a man is particularly eye-catching.
