"Although I had already guessed that you would leave, I still didn't expect it to be so soon!"

In the instrument room with a bright and clean window, Salochi, who was wearing a cowhide apron, looked at Li Shenzhi who came over to select weapons.

"I want to accompany you for a few more days, but I'm afraid that if I brush off the manager's kindness, I won't be able to mix in the future?"

"It's possible!"

Saloche nodded in agreement.

Li Shenzhi was surprised to see this.

"Next!" Suddenly Salloch threw something over.

"What does this mean? Left for me to kill myself? Li Shenzhi hurriedly caught it and found that it was a revolver, and his face suddenly became strange.

"Good mentality!"

Saloch praised:

"It's true that the bullet has no effect on the creeper, but this bullet is filled with the body fluids of the fireworm, so don't think about capturing it alive if necessary, survival is the key."

"Thank you!" Li Shenzhi solemnly put away the bullet.

"I'm waiting for you to come back and invite me for a drink!" Salotchi responded.

"Then you must pick the best tavern in Tudor!"

"Haha, I'm afraid you won't have enough salary for a year?"

"Damn the gap between rich and poor!"

Li Shenzhi cursed, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

Saloch waved his hand and didn't send it out of the door, as usual, looking down at the bullets that would never run out.

Out of the instrument room, Inspector Pine and another vigilante from District 3 named Blair were chatting outside.

They were surrounded by a dozen vigilantes.

When Li Shenzhi came out, everyone's expressions were a little complicated, and the color of envy and jealousy was even more overflowing!

Especially the security guards from the third district, there was a faint hostility in the depths of their eyes.

It's like forgetting that the enamel pocket watch is Landon's personal belongings.

"Weapons chosen?"

Pine asked, glancing at the weapon box in Li Shenzhi's hand.

"Alright."

"Let's go!"

"Hmm!"

Li Shenzhi nodded, from now on, his identity is a security officer of Pyne's team.

To be honest, it only took four hours from the discovery of the enamel pocket watch to the preparation for departure, which is really hasty.

If he could, Li Shenzhi even wanted to go to the shooting range to practice marksmanship.

However, this is already the limit that the Van Lunding Public Security Administrator can strive for.

After all, Li Shenzhi belongs to the firing line, and then stays to practice guns, which is really untrue.

Fortunately, against creepers, it doesn't matter if the marksmanship is accurate.

Because the bullet can kill the creeping man, it is very limited.

The biggest difference between the Creeper and other monsters is that it is made up of countless individual maggots.

The death of some maggots is not a big deal for the whole.

It will reproduce to replenish dead individuals and fill damaged vacancies.

Rumor has it that some powerful creepers, even with only one maggot left, can quickly resurrect by breeding.

Of course, this is limited to lore.

According to official records, once the number of maggots that make up a worm falls below a certain threshold, it will completely collapse and become an ordinary maggot because it cannot carry the mind of a wizard.

Therefore, the lethality of bullets to creepers is very limited, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

The Creeper's greatest weakness is his fear of fire.

Even insecticides can kill a portion of maggots.

Therefore, it is important to bring sufficient oil and gas lamps.

However, even so, Li Shenzhi still brought a shotgun and a revolver, after all, what if something else happened?

……

After leaving the Sheriff's Office, the group got into three carriages and headed straight for the southern suburbs of Tudor.

It turned out that after the 14th District Sheriff's Office got the enamel pocket watch in the morning, it had already sent someone to determine the hiding location of the creeper.

It was a deep cave in the wilderness on the southern outskirts of Tudor, surrounded by no one around.

- This is probably the root cause of the creeper's undiscovered nature.

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, and when they saw that there was no road ahead, they stopped.

"Mr. Langdon, do you know why the Sheriff's Department allows the exclusive right of mosaic to those who independently capture the abomination?"

After the group got out of the car, Inspector Pine looked at Langdon with a serious face.

"Because of strength."

"That's right, this process itself is a recognition of strength, so from now on, we will cease to exist, everything is up to you to move freely, and if you haven't captured the Creeper before the sun rises tomorrow, the mission will be judged a failure!"

Pine said solemnly, handing over the enamel pocket watch.

"Understood, Inspector Pyne."

Li Shenzhi took the pocket watch, picked up the weapon box, took a deep breath, and walked towards the mountain.

The crowd was behind them, not far away, not near.

The mountains are high and the grass is deep, and the trees are verdant.

Li Shenzhi, who was running around, relied on Langdon's quite strong physique, but he was also walking on the ground.

But finding a place for the Creep to hide wasted a lot of effort.

When climbing up the mountain, the maggots clearly guide upwards, and when they reach the top of the mountain, they guide downwards.

Halfway up the mountain, I realized that the target of the maggots was inside the mountain.

He made a long circle along the mountainside, and with the help of the Siren's Tears' insight into the moisture, he found the entrance to a cavern in a shrub shelter.

"It's not bad, I found it after going around, and my observation is keen!" Pine praised.

"If you can't find a maggot guide, that's called waste." Inspector Blair replied lukewarmly.

Pine didn't reply.

Langdon had opened the weapon case, took out a bottle of oil, poured it on the torch, lit it, and threw it into the cavern.

"Boom la la ......"

In an instant, countless bats emerged from the cave, dancing like a group of demons.

"Hit the grass and scare the snake!" Inspector Blair shook his head at this.

"That's better than being attacked when you enter the cave." Pine said.

Blair smiled coldly and said no more.

In the Sheriff's Department, there is no one-size-fits-all code of action.

Because the "abnormality" they have to face is itself a kind of "abnormality".

Nature cannot be judged by normal logic, so there is no universal rule of action.

In this regard, the Public Security Department can only sort out various case files for reference.

The action process is not mandatory.

While Pine and Blair are fighting, the bats in the cave are also flying.

Seeing this, Li Shenzhi stretched out his head to take a look inside, and after making sure that there were no messy monsters, he carried the gas lamp and walked in cautiously.

This cave is supposed to be a natural cave, with a narrow entrance and a cave inside, which looks like a triangular space formed by the collapse of two boulders.

There is a layer of black bat droppings on the ground.

Under the accumulation of quantity, there is an indescribable stench in the air.

Li Shenzhi could only endure the stench, glanced at the enamel pocket watch, carried the gas lamp, and walked to the depths.

The rocks are so rough that it's hard to get off your feet.

Li Shen walked very slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and kept rehearsing the situation he might encounter and how to deal with it in his heart.

As a result, it didn't take long and there was no road.

A boulder lies in front of it, blocking the road ahead, although there are cracks around, but all of them are small, not to mention leaving, and the widest part is stuffed into a slap at most.

Li Shenzhi took out the enamel pocket watch, sealed the maggots in it, and pointed behind the boulder.

This scene made his face look ugly.

The Creeper can break into pieces and burrow into small areas, how can he drill?

Could it be that this so-called choice is a journey that makes him die?

Li Shenzhi unwillingly groped around.

Suddenly knocking on the rock wall, sometimes moving the boulders, sometimes trying to climb, but without exception, all of them could not lead inside.

This seems to be a feng shui treasure specially selected by the creepers, how can it be so easy for outsiders to invade?

At this time, at the entrance of the cave, Blair and his party from District 3 almost laughed out loud when they looked at Langdon, who was trying indiscriminately.

The mudblood species from the folk are really interesting!

Unexpectedly, Li Shenzhi seemed to notice something, suddenly turned his head to look at everyone, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked straight towards everyone.

"Is this to give up?" A vigilante muttered.

The eyes of several security officers of the third district lit up, and their faces were full of expectation.

Li Shenzhi approached, and in their expectant eyes, he staggered past them with a gas lamp.

I didn't even look at them, I really did, and I treated them as nothing.

Several vigilantes of the Third District who wanted to get involved suddenly became embarrassed.

At this time, Li Shenzhi, who didn't know what the security officers of the third district were thinking, crawled out of the cave again.

He decided to see if there were any caves on the other side? If not, then shoot some prey as bait.

Yes, the Creeper is a curse, but it is also attracted to corpses.

In a way, they still follow the law of conservation of energy.

Li Shenzhi was patient, and went around the mountainside again, until the sun was setting, and no new entrance was found.

To make matters worse, he didn't touch any prey along the way.

When the sky was bright, he realized something, and suddenly looked back at the people behind him, with an ugly expression.

- With this group of big light bulbs behind him, what prey dares to approach?

Wait a minute!

At this moment, the tears of the sirens suddenly caught a cloud of rich water vapor, Li Shenzhi hurriedly bent down, picked up the grass, and looked around, only to see that under the cover of the shrubs, a mountain deer of unknown breed was leisurely chewing on the weeds not far away, looking up from time to time to look around.

'God help me!' ’

Li Shen was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out his revolver, replaced the curse bullet with an ordinary bullet, and then aimed at Yamaga, emptying the magazine with a bang.

"Moo-"

Frightened, the mountain deer spread its hooves and ran away.

After a fume, he burrowed into the bushes and disappeared.

Nima! Missed a shot.

Li Shenzhi was dumbfounded.

When he came, he was still thinking, the accuracy is not important, but he didn't expect that he would find out at the end of the day, how many skills are not pressing!

Gan!

I knew that it was time to practice marksmanship even if I spent money.

At this time, the twilight is getting darker, and the forest is darkening faster under the canopy.

If I don't go back, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find the original cave.

Li Shenzhi looked around, looked at the smiling and mocking faces of the security officers of the third district under the twilight, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.
