Chapter 65: Born as Weeds
The catastrophe in Luoxing Town is over.
But not a single person alive in the town remained, and the town's buildings were reduced to ashes in the flames.
Where else can the rest go?
They can rebuild their homes in their place, but no one knows when the next catastrophe will come.
The wandering mercenaries in the wilderness are like a swarm of locusts, and there is no grass growing in the places they pass, and ordinary people can't resist them at all.
Looking around, there is not a trace of hope.
"This Lord ......"
An old man covered in injuries walked out on crutches and limped towards Su Xia, holding a wad of cash wrapped in a plastic bag in his hand.
He was the mayor of the town, and he was hung in the central square of the town by those mercenaries before, and he luckily didn't die.
The old mayor trembled and handed the wad of cash to Su Xia, with a sad expression, and pleaded: "This lord, my grandson is a soldier in the city, please find him and let him tell the people above about the situation here, this money, just ...... Think of it as my commission. β
"It's time like this, and you're still pinning your hopes on those managers in the city?"
Su Xia frowned, took out the looting permit, and opened it in front of all the living townspeople.
Black and white, clear!
This catastrophe was caused by the city administrators!
"We have no other way." The old mayor looked bitter, "My grandson has been a soldier for several years, so he should be able to say a few words." β
At this time, a task jumped out of Su Xia's eyes.
[Do you accept the task "Old Mayor's commission"?] γ
Seeing this line of words, Su Xia was silent for a moment.
Since it's a mission, and it doesn't seem to be difficult, let's stop by and do a favor, he's going back to the city anyway.
γYesγ
He clicked on Pickup.
Then he said to the old mayor: "Keep the money, I don't lack this money, give me the information of your grandson, and I will find a way to bring you a message." β
"Thank you...... Thank you, ......."
The old mayor's lips trembled, his old eyes were full of tears, and he bowed down to Su Xia in thanks.
The little money in his plastic bag added up to two or three thousand yuan, which was not enough for Su Xia to waste refining medicine in an afternoon.
Su Xia put away the looting permit and said indifferently: "I'll say it one last time, don't put your hope in the city, find a way to save yourself, this world is going to change, and no one can say what will happen in the future." β
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir......"
The old mayor took the lead, and all the living townspeople expressed their gratitude to the five Suxia people.
Their homes were destroyed, and they really couldn't come up with anything else but the word "thank you".
In front of Su Xia's eyes, the details of that mission appeared.
[Mission "Old Mayor's Request]
[Mission description: The old mayor's grandson "Li Xiang" is a soldier of Coral City, belonging to the infantry battalion of the 004th Regiment of Coral City, and is responsible for patrolling the southwest area of the city in peacetime, please find him and tell the old mayor's words]
γReward: Primary Psionic Elixir x1γ
Since binding this body to the bracelet, Su Xia can no longer see the mission level.
The reward is average, indicating that the task is not difficult.
After ending the conversation with the old mayor, Su Xia began to torture the remaining mercenaries who were still alive, and it didn't take long for him to get the details of the Pixiu mercenaries' hidden supplies.
This time, five people acted together, and there was no way to swallow the supplies alone.
"How?" Shen Yu asked, "Go get the supplies first, or go back to the tavern to hand in the task first?" β
"There are so many supplies that we can't get them all in one car." Su Xia knew that these mercenary organizations were very rich, so he proposed to go back first, and then find a way to get supplies later.
"Okay, let's go back first!"
After this battle, several people paid a lot of attention to Su Xia.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Su Xia was probably the strongest among them, stronger than Yang Liang at level 3.0.
It was close to five o'clock in the morning, and the group returned to the car and embarked on the return journey.
On the return trip, Imo drove, and she drove very fast, and was back outside the tavern at half past six.
Su Xia still had to return to the pharmacy, so he excused himself to leave beforehand, and before leaving, he said, "Just put the mission bounty into my card, and those materials will be kept by Yimo first." β
"Wait! Don't go yet! Imer grabbed Su Xia, "How can I contact you in the future?" β
"I want to think about ......"
Su Xia pondered for a moment, in this world, he didn't even have a mobile phone, and his place of residence could not be revealed.
So he asked, "Does the tavern have a card business?" Mobile phone card. β
"Yes, let's come in first."
In the Zero Point Tavern, all kinds of businesses are mature and matched.
With the help of Yimo, Su Xia got a new mobile phone and got a Geely digital mobile phone card with all 4 digits in the last 4.
After making sure that there was no tracking device in her phone, Susha left the tavern.
He removes his mask, removes the camouflage crystal, and reinstates his identity as an apothecary.
But when it came time to remove the crystal, he felt a hint of resistance.
The crystal seemed to want to stick to his face.
"It's a bit weird."
Su Xia flipped the crystal and thought of the miner's appearance covered in red hair.
He put away the crystal and walked towards the alley behind the pharmacy.
Halfway through, Susha spotted a group of human soldiers on patrol.
A line of prompts popped up in front of him.
[Discover the mission target 'Li Xiang', you can come forward to communicate]
Coincidentally, the old mayor's grandson "Li Xiang" was in that group of soldiers.
It didn't take much effort to get it, so Su Xia didn't have to find it herself.
He used the camouflage crystal again, pinched out an unfamiliar face, and walked over to the group of soldiers.
The soldiers were instantly alert, and they all pointed their guns at Su Xia and shouted, "Who is it?" β
"Don't be nervous, I'm just talking."
Su Xia waved her hand, then took out a photo from her arms.
This is a photo given to him by the old mayor to win Li Xiang's letter.
He shook the photo in his hand and said calmly: "Mr. Li Xiang, your grandfather asked me to bring you a few words." β
"Grandpa?"
Li Xiang was puzzled, and he didn't know that Luo Xingzhen had already suffered, so he asked Su Xia to come forward and speak.
Su Xia stepped forward, handed the photo to Li Xiang, and then said, "Something happened in Luoxing Town, your grandfather wants you to ...... with the people above."
He did not omit it, and repeated all the words of the old mayor to Li Xiang.
After learning the news, Li Xiang's heart was shocked, with an expression of disbelief, he grabbed Su Xia's shoulders tightly, and asked loudly, "What you said is true?" β
"Absolutely."
"This ...... How can this be......"
Li Xiang's face turned pale and he looked in the direction of the city center.
The people he'd been guarding for the past few years had allowed the damned wandering mercenaries in the wilderness to plunder his hometown.
What did he protect?
Su Xia took a few steps back and said, "Mr. Li, I have already brought the words, I hope you will deal with it calmly." β
"Wait!"
Li Xiang also wanted to ask something about those mercenaries.
But Su Xia dodged and entered the alley on the side.
When Li Xiang ran over, the alley was empty, and there was no one left.
"Damn!"
He clutched the photo, intending to go to the person above to ask for details.
β¦β¦
Nothing happened the rest of the day.
On the game forum, the discussion about the events of the small town continues, and the heat continues.
And the game world runs as usual.
Su Xia was familiar with second-order potions in the pharmacy, and the construction of the Oasis camp was in order, and several roommates had begun to recruit troops.
Everything is on track.
Before you know it, the daylight hours just passed.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun stained most of the sky red, giving the dilapidated city a little more aesthetic feeling.
The evening breeze is very mild.
Before dinner, my father asked a few apprentices to go out to deliver a box of medicine, and then come back to eat after delivery.
"Come back early, don't delay too long."
"Yes!"
The three of them hurried out and headed to their destination with a medicine kit.
But just as he was passing by the ruins of war, Su Xia actually saw Li Xiang.
To be precise, it was Li Xiang's corpse.
"Gallows ......"
On top of the ruins stands an ancient gallows.
The young soldier was hanged in public on charges of collaborating with the enemy.
A gust of wind blew, and his icy body swayed gently in the crimson sunset, like countless weeds swaying from the ruins.
