In the wilderness, the wind whines, and the dead grass rises and falls.

Death all the time vividly interprets the cruelty of this barren world.

A total of thirteen corpses lay in the grass, some intact and some mutilated.

Su Xia looked calm, approached a corpse, put on disposable gloves and protective glasses, and then slowly squatted down to observe carefully.

He picked up the corpse's arm and looked at the back of his hand, revealing a large dark fuchsia patch of corpse spots.

Su Xia reached out and gently pressed the corpse spot, and the dark purple color on the back of his hand disappeared partially, but when he reduced the pressure, the corpse spot on the back of the corpse's hand slowly recovered, but the recovery speed was slower.

The corpse was stiff and the cornea was somewhat cloudy.

"The time of death should have been more than six hours, and the battle probably took place at six or seven o'clock in the morning, when it was just dawn, when people were not very vigilant and easily tired."

Su Xia looked at the rest of the corpses and came to a similar conclusion.

The injuries sustained on the surface of the bodies ranged from penetrating injuries from a few rifle bullets to the destruction of limbs and heads.

There were several small potholes in the ground nearby, which appeared to be caused by grenades.

In addition to this, there is a destroyed vehicle not far away.

Based on its appearance, it should be a four-wheeled off-road vehicle, with strong horsepower and suitable for wilderness terrain, but now it has been blown into a pile of scrap metal, torn apart, and debris exploded everywhere.

At the center of the explosion of this off-road vehicle was a large crater, and Susha found traces of anti-tank mines.

"The car was crushed by an anti-tank mine, which was subsequently destroyed, and the occupants of the car died...... It looks like an ambush ......"

It was an ambush that happened in the early hours of the morning.

The ambushed squad suffered heavy casualties, and some of them should have escaped, because Su Xia saw the wheel prints leading to the distance.

The position of the attacker is not far away.

In a patch of grass about a hundred and fifty meters away from this tragic area, Su Xia found traces of the dead grass being overwhelmed, and it was obvious that someone had been ambushed here.

"There were no deaths on the attacking side, not even the wounded." Su Xia looked at it carefully and didn't see any blood, indicating that it was a very successful ambush.

As for the ambushed side, according to the system, they all belong to a small mercenary organization.

There are very few things prompted by the system, except for the name of the mercenary organization, which is gone, and the rest has to be guessed by Su Xia himself.

"Looking at the direction of the wheel print, these mercenaries are going to Town Seven, but they were ambushed here, and as for the attacker, ......"

There are many possibilities for the identity of the attacker.

For example, it could be another mercenary organization that has a grudge against them, or it could be a member of the Southwind organization.

However, this is not far from the town of Seven.

These mercenary organizations basically heard the radio station, and they should all give the "mercenary king" Wang Teng a face, even if there is great hatred, they should not start a war here, let alone ambush.

Su Xia was more inclined to be a member of the South Wind Organization in his heart.

"Are they going to harass the enemy, exhaust him, and distract him?"

After just a little thought, Su Xia guessed the plan of the South Wind Organization.

It has to be said that this means is quite useful, which can inflict great damage on the enemy and retain the combat effectiveness of one's own side to the greatest extent.

Even if they can't successfully rescue the more than a dozen imprisoned members in the end, they can effectively deal a blow to the enemy.

"Within the South Wind Organization, there should be a more rational and intelligent leader, but I don't know which one, could it be one of the two guys I appointed at the beginning?"

Su Xia thought of Chu Tang and Mu Yang, both of whom were originally mercenaries, but they had good intentions, so they were let go by Su Xia.

If everything is similar to what he guessed, then, in the next two or three days, the top of the mercenary organization will probably be anxious.

"I hope it's them."

Su Xia took a slow breath, glanced at the more than ten corpses, and then soared into the sky and continued to rush to Town No. 7.

No matter what plans the South Wind organization had, Su Xia had to go.

His presence can minimize the loss of the South Wind organization.

The terrain in the wilderness is not complicated, most of the areas are relatively flat and easy to cultivate, and it is very high-quality land.

When the war is over, these lands can be reclaimed as fertile land, and as long as they are properly managed, there will be no more hungry people in this world.

Su Xia flew quickly at a low altitude, and as far as the eye could see, the land in the distance was basically black.

On the other side of the earth, this soil is called black soil, and there are only three major black soils in the world.

More than ten minutes later, Su Xia passed by an abandoned small city.

The city was small, with mostly collapsed concrete buildings, roads covered with dense weeds, rotten signs covered with dead vines, and a few yellowed and dilapidated posters fluttering in the wind on the billboards, full of desolation and dilapidation.

"Someone."

Su Xia wore life perception glasses, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the ruined city below.

In the city, there are more than fifty human life forms.

They were all in a sloping concrete building, seemingly resting, with a few lying on the ground and some chatting in whispers.

"A mercenary organization."

Su Xia got the prompt of the system, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

These people are obviously also one of the mercenary teams who rushed to Town No. 7 after hearing the external broadcast organized by Wang Teng.

To kill or not to kill?

This thought flashed through Su Xia's mind.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, the situation was complicated now, the clouds were treacherous, and the forces in the wilderness were not yet fully clear.

Killing people here could lead to his identity being exposed.

Even if there was only the slightest possibility of being exposed in advance, Su Xia didn't want to take this risk.

The most important thing he should do right now is to infiltrate that mercenary town and find a way to silently rescue the more than ten members of the South Wind Organization.

Only by rescuing people first can Su Xia act without scruples.

"Let them go."

Su Xia made up his mind, these people were going to Town Seven anyway, and there was a chance to kill them when the time came.

Early death and late death are deaths, and he doesn't mind letting these people live for two more days.

With this in mind, Susha sent a small group of nanobots attached to the people's vehicles, and then left the abandoned town and continued to the location of Town Seven.

The cold winds run wild in the wilderness, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and life and death repeat themselves.

More than twenty minutes later, Su Xia passed by an abandoned village.

In this village, he found a small mercenary organization of more than thirty people.

"Another ......"

Su Xia still didn't make a move, just sent some nanobots over, and then continued to move forward.

The time passed slowly, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

The time spent on the road had already exceeded Su Xia's expectations.

In the distance, the sky was dark, the sun was languiding, and the sun was sinking to the western horizon.

After a long journey, Su Xia finally approached the location of Mercenary Town No. 7.

This is a hill, with low mountains undulating and undulating, like sleeping dragons lying horizontally, connected in the vast land.

The hills are densely wooded, green, and full of vegetation, making it a vibrant world.

And the location of that town is in the heart of this hilly area.

The closer Su Xia got to that area, the more signs of mercenary activity he found.

With a calm expression, he slowed down and slowly approached the center of the hill where the town was located.

More than twenty minutes later, a town of considerable size came into Su Xia's eyes.

【Town No. 7】

The system's prompt also popped up.

The town is quite bustling and larger than the new camp at Oasis Camp.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least hundreds of wooden buildings, bars, warehouses, casinos, trading centers, residences, etc., and it is extremely bustling, and the streets are full of people, as if it is a small city of its own scale.

Before Su Xia could get closer, he heard all kinds of noisy sounds, including noise, laughter, gunshots, beatings, screams, and so on.

Compared with ordinary human gathering places, this place is a little less populated and warm, and a little more bloody and cruel.

After all, this is a town full of mercenaries and slaves.

For those mercenaries, the status of slaves is the same as that of pigs and dogs, and they can be killed and humiliated at will.

There is no fairness here, and there are no normal rules, like a dark version of paradise.

"Whirring ......"

When the wind blew, a few dry heads hanging from the entrance of the town swayed gently, and the messy hair on their heads fluttered like dead grass in the wind.

At the entrance, there are also several wind chimes made of withered yellow human bones, the bells are not crisp, a little weird and dull.

Su Xia sat on a big tree in the distance, just looking at this small town in the hills from a distance, and did not go in.

In fact, there are many ways for him to get in.

For example, he could stun a mercenary patrolling outside a small town, and then use the power of the Crimson Crystal to transform into that mercenary's appearance, but he didn't do that.

He had to observe and get enough information before trying to get into the town.

Two days later, in the evening, it was time for the trial, and Su Xia had plenty of time.

"Go!"

He dispatched ten groups of nanobots into the town from different directions.

The first group was fast, entering the town in less than two minutes, and all the time the invisibility function to the current environment was turned on, without attracting anyone's attention.

[I have entered the No. 7 Mercenary Town, and I am returning to the real-time screen for you......]

They are Su Xia's eyes, slowly observing the situation in the town for Su Xia.

The scale of this town is far greater than the one Su Xia once destroyed, and the order is better than that town.

Perhaps because of Wang Teng's deterrence, there were not many people fighting on the streets inside the town, although there was a lot of noise, but only a few people really did it.

You know, these wandering mercenaries are almost all lawless criminals, short-tempered, emotionally unstable, and will do it directly if they don't agree with each other.

"There should be rules in the town, and you can't just do it." Su Xia secretly guessed and thought of the rules of the Zero Tavern.

The roads of the town were full of people, and many of the mercenaries had horrific scars on their faces and arms, and most of the clothes they wore also had traces of weapons, knife marks, bullet holes, and some even had dried blood stains on their bodies.

Almost everyone carried a weapon, or a firearm, or a dagger, and all of them were filled with the smell of evil and blood, like a group of butchers.

Just their fierce looks were enough to scare most ordinary people into trembling.

"These people, if they can be used well, are indeed a force to be reckoned with, no wonder the Southwest Mercenary Guild wants to absorb them." Su Xia nodded secretly, he could understand the thoughts of Luo Xi, the president of the Southwest Mercenary Union.

He kept his composure and continued to look down.

Entering from the entrance of the town, the surface road was paved with stone and wood planks, and it was not clean, and there was a lot of dirty mud pouring out of the cracks.

The mercenaries on the road came and went, and each time they stepped on the shaking planks, more mud would be squeezed out of the cracks, causing the town's pavement to be stained black with muddy water.

About 20 meters from the entrance, on the left side of the road, is a two-story wooden building.

Outside the door of the building hangs a wooden plaque with the words "Alien Mercenary Registration Office" crookedly engraved on it.

Su Xia noticed that there was a mercenary organization that had just entered the town, and there were more than twenty people in the entire organization, and they immediately walked over after seeing this wooden sign, entered the wooden building, and respectfully registered.

"It's no wonder that it can be orderly."

As you continue to walk on, there are many bars on both sides of the road, and you will see colorful bar signs.

For mercenaries who kill in the wilderness all year round, alcohol is a convenient and easily available substance, and drinking together is also a cheap pleasure that can make them forget a lot of troubles.

Su Xia found a random bar and commanded the nanobots to enter.

As soon as he entered, all sorts of sounds filled his ears.

The bar was noisy, the lights were chaotic, and it was noisy.

Many of the mercenaries were already flushed with drunkenness and shouting from their seats, some were drunkenly singing and shouting on the stage in the depths of the bar, and some were fists and kicks in the corners.

In some booths, some male and female mercenaries hugged each other, disheveled, and even demonstrated the process of human reproduction on the spot.

Vomit and broken glass bottles were everywhere on the floor, making it difficult to get off your feet.

"It's not the same as the bar at the Zero Point Tavern." Su Xia took a brief look, most of the bars were mercenaries, and there were also a small number of slaves.

Near the gate, a few emaciated slaves were cleaning on their knees, their faces pale and full of fear, and they were sometimes stepped on by the mercenaries around them, which did not match the noisy atmosphere of the bar.

"Get out of here!"

Suddenly, a drunken mercenary scolded angrily, and slammed his foot on a slave who was cleaning the ground next to him, and with great force, he directly kicked the slave out and slammed it into the wall.

The slave didn't even have time to scream before he vomited a mouthful of blood, twitched his limbs a few times, and then fell to the ground motionless.

Died violently on the spot.

However, this bloody scene did not attract the attention of the rest.

Two numb-faced slaves crawled over and took his body with them, dragging it little by little behind the bar, where everyone could not see.

On the wooden floor of the bar, a long blood mark was dragged out, which was shocking.

The rest of the slaves in the vicinity trembled and their faces were full of fear, as if they were afraid that death would befall them.

"Some people are numb, some people are afraid, and some people are unwilling to ......"

Su Xia noticed that although there was a slave boy with his head down, his teeth were clenched, and his thin fists were clenched tightly.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and this has been the same truth for thousands of years.

It's just that the development of modern firearms has made it much more difficult to resist in this era than in ancient times.
