Chapter 24 Those who are hidden in the darkness
Killing Hu Duan can only be used as a proof of Feng Xia's strength, and only by signing a contract can the trust between the two be truly established.
It may seem ironic that in the Starfall Age, when humanity was almost dying, a seemingly non-binding contract became the strongest bond of trust and connection between people, and once a contract was signed, few people would break it.
Perhaps it is because I don't have the courage to trust others that I put this belief on a piece of paper.
Feng Xia was quite a philosopher's thought. In his previous life, he had never made a contract with anyone, which had nothing to do with philosophy, but he simply felt that this thing was too nonsense, in fact, he had already begun to think about how to escape with his sister with a gun, after all, Su Yang would be in ruins in a boom in half a year.
But soon reality gave the philosopher a resounding slap in the face.
After confirming that both parties had no objection to the contents of the contract, the notary from the city lord's mansion uploaded the engraved copy of the contract to the database of the Suyang Research Institute in the form of an electronic file, and then read out the epilogue that must be read when all contracts are concluded like a robot: "As the person who concluded the contract, Feng Xia, Zhao Lin." Whoever violates the contract will be tolerated by mankind, and no one will be hunted down for him, whether it is the eastern land, the western continent, the wilderness, or the heavenly firmament, and no one will be forgiven until death. β
This sentence was then uploaded to Su Yang's database as the last supplement to the contract, and in just a third of a second, it was uploaded to all of Su Yang's networked forces, and these forces began to spread the contract to more forces.
A vast and terrifying Starfall information network unfolded in front of Feng Xia's sluggishness, and within a minute, all the human settlements in the entire Starfall Era knew that there was a little fox named Feng Xia and a profiteer named Zhao Lin signed a contract, and countless bounty hunters who made a living by chasing and killing those who broke the contract began to gear up, waiting at any time to cut off the head of this little fox or this profiteer and exchange it for silver dollarsβas long as they dared to break the contract.
The philosopher Feng Xia felt that his sorrow was about to turn into a river.
Looking at Zhao Lin's relieved smile, Feng Xia pursed his lips, and felt that he was still too soft-hearted when bargaining. But it doesn't matter, anyway......
The black lines on Feng Xia's left hand that belonged to the devouring desolation flashed in the palm of his hand, and then lurked again.
The smile on Feng Xia's face also began to become sincere, very good, it seems that the "deprivation" characteristic of devouring the desolation can still be mobilized, although the loss of desolate energy is still huge, but if he only disassembles the additional array on a gun, such a loss will not cause harm to himself.
Devouring is a fifth-order ability, in addition to its basic ability Devouring - instantly devouring all the desolate energy of the object that the caster has touched, there are also five characteristics, that is, the ability to "additional array" similar to the equipment, each of which is a powerful ability derived from Devouring, but Feng Xia can only mobilize two kinds of perception and deprivation now. With Feng Xia's current strength of the first-order desolate warrior, although it is not enough to exert the full strength of the two, it is already enough to sense the aura of the third-order desolate warrior, or deprive the third-order equipment of the additional array. In Suyang, such strength is enough.
Zhao Lin felt that the reason why Feng Xia spent so much money to buy this defective product was because Feng Houhu left some good things for his son, which allowed him to disassemble the additional array on the cobra. didn't expect that Feng Xia not only didn't have any inheritance to inherit now, but could achieve this goal just by relying on his own strength.
However, Feng Xia didn't plan to tell Zhao Lin these things, it was possible to make Zhao Lin feel that he still had his father's relics in his hands, compared to letting him know that a first-order desolate was capable of dismantling the additional array of third-order equipment, obviously the former was more beneficial to himself, at least in this way, he didn't have to worry about being sent to the Su Yang Research Base to slice and study.
Waving goodbye to Zhao Lin and the witness, Feng Xia picked up the Jingyun iron box and walked towards the elevator, Zhao Lin also gave a box of twelve rounds of cobra bullets as a gift after signing the contract, so that Feng Xia, who was already penniless, did not have to worry about cobra bullets for the time being.
The elevator rises slowly. The people who were in the same elevator as Feng Xia all subconsciously avoided this young man who still looked childish, not afraid of his Jingyun iron box, which he knew was valuable at a glance, but afraid of his face......
Feng Xia touched his nose a little embarrassed, glanced at his own reward order posted next to the button at the elevator entrance, and said a little helplessly: "The reward is actually a thousand silver dollars, which is higher than Wang Xiangyun's reward in the Su family, really, I want to assassinate myself myself." β
At this moment when the Black Tiger was in turmoil, Wang Jing, who was the leader, did not stay in the base camp of the Black Tiger, but quietly came to the Suyang Desert Camp.
Shen Hui's new residence was in a mansion in the Huangshi Camp that was much smaller than the previous one, but in fact, after more than ten people were squeezed into the living room that was not small, with the final arrival of Wang Jing, this living room became more and more cramped.
Shen Hui sat in the middle seat, motioned for Wang Jing to sit down, and nodded to the rest of the guests, indicating that the meeting could begin.
Among the thirteen people present, except for Wang Jing, the remaining twelve people, without exception, are all non-commissioned officers of the Desert Battalion, and two of these non-commissioned officers are even deputy commanders on an equal footing with Shen Hui. These people may have different factions in the barren camp, but they all have one thing in common, that is, in the past ten years, they have attacked the old troops of Xia Wei and Fenghou Hu, and divided the forces of these two commanders.
If Xia Wei didn't return, it was just a Feng Xia, these people would not be so frightened that they would gather together to convene a meeting, after all, it was just a Feng Xia, they would not take it to heart, a lieutenant, if he wants to be an enemy of a non-commissioned officer, there is still a long way to go.
However, a recent series of events has completely disrupted the preparations of these big shots. Xia Wei's return means that the two great commanders behind them will not support them, because the Desolate Battalion will have captains who have reached the second order but have no background at any time who are willing to take over the positions of these seniors, so there is no need to offend a strong man who is likely to have become Su Yang's first person, not to mention that this strong man is also likely to become Su Yang's friend rather than enemy. And Hu Duan's death made them understand that the little ghost who seemed to be just a first-order desolate man already had the strength to threaten him, whether it was from himself or from his parents' inheritance.
One of the non-commissioned officers looked at the silence of his colleagues around him, so he coughed and spoke first: "Everyone, we gathered in Lord Shen Hui's mansion today, I don't think I need to say more, now our position can be said to be precarious, Commander Xia Wei and Feng Hou Hu were close friends before their deaths, plus we have a grudge against him before, I am afraid that he will not let us go easily, in my opinion, rather than us waiting for Xia Wei to strike first, it is better for us to strike first." β
Before he finished speaking, one of the non-commissioned officers among the crowd who had always been at odds with him sneered: "Strike first? I don't know how your Excellency started to force the law? Could it be that Your Excellency felt that according to his eloquence, he could say that he could move the two Great Commanders to deal with the Great Commander Xia Wei. Or is your strength already able to face the Great Commander Xia Wei? β
"You!" The non-commissioned officer who spoke first was stunned, and he was about to get angry, but was stopped by a deputy commander who couldn't stand it: "Okay, look at what time it is, it's still infighting, if we don't unite this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape this catastrophe." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Shen Hui, who had been silent: "Commander Shen Hui, you summoned everyone here today, I think I already have a good idea, I don't know how Commander Shen is going to arrange, I am willing to lead the horse for Commander Shen." β
Shen Hui secretly scolded the old fox, this is trying to push himself out of the top tank. But fortunately, his son has been brought out of Su Yang by Xu Hua, and there is no need to scruple so much, nodding: "Commander Bai is serious, I just have some ideas that are not very mature, and I want to gather everyone here tonight to brainstorm, after all, we are now both prosperous and lossy, and we must not be arrogant anymore." β
An anxious non-commissioned officer suddenly became anxious: "Commander Shen, if you have any way, just say it directly, don't be such a mother-in-law, like a girl." β
Shen Hui frowned quietly, didn't dwell on this, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly." Now that the Great Commander Xia Wei has been standing still, I don't think there will be any big moves in a short period of time, in this case, let's focus our strength on the troubles that are easy to solve, and with a thunderous blow, we will eradicate that small trouble first, otherwise when the two troubles are combined, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them. β
"Commander Shen Hui means to kill Feng Xia first?"
Shen Hui nodded: "Exactly." β
"But Feng Xia's father and the Great Commander Xia Wei are close friends, if we kill Feng Xia, I am afraid that it will further anger the Great Commander Xia Wei." Objections were immediately raised.
Shen Hui's smile was a little cold: "Best friend? Haha, in this world now, who among you will believe this word? β
"This ......," the man who had just spoken hesitated. Shen Hui glanced at the man, no longer paying attention to it, but moved his gaze to the other two deputy commanders, and continued: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Great Commander Xia Jian really wants to avenge that Feng Xia, will the two Great Commanders sit idly by?" Kill a dozen non-commissioned officers in one go? I don't think even the Great Commander Xia Wei has that courage. β
"The so-called best friends are just a joke in front of interests, and failure to achieve the goal can only be due to insufficient interests. After solving the closure of Xia, we don't wait for the commander of Xia Wei to make a move, just send someone to express surrender to the commander of Xia Wei, the general Xia Wei has just returned to Suyang, and the whereabouts of the old department have been unknown for many years, and it is the time for us to take effect. At that time, the Great Commander Xia Jian will probably not care so much anymore. β
"Ah, this ......" As soon as they heard that they were going to serve Xia Ji, the non-commissioned officers present were immediately embarrassed. Seeing this, Shen Hui secretly despised this group of people in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face. just said slowly: "Everyone, at this moment, is it necessary to care so much?" Whether it is troops or resources, is our lives important? What's more, even if we don't want to give it, who can stop us when the Great Commander Xia Ji makes a move against us? β
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly turned cold, and they silently thought about it, and after finding that it could only be like this, they couldn't help but sigh, and nodded their heads to express their approval of Shen Hui's plan. At this time, the non-commissioned officer who asked at the beginning couldn't help but ask, "Then I don't know how Commander Shen Hui is going to deal with Feng Xia?" It's not hard to kill that kid, but the question is what to do after you kill him? Grand Commander Xia Wei may not make a move against all of us, but it is not difficult to kill one or two. β
Shen Hui smiled and clapped his hands, Wang Jing, who had been sitting in the dark without saying a word, slowly got up, bowed to the non-commissioned officers present, and said slowly: "Fengxia is handled by our Black Tiger, you only need to provide us with opportunities, it is enough."
