Chapter 538: Eliminate the Traitors and the "Fat Sheep" That Comes to Your Doorstep

Complete all procedures thoroughly and place the purchased mercenaries at the collection desk at the gate of the inner city.

Seeing that it was only three o'clock, he sent Turner away to take care of the exchange, and took Hao Qiang and Sumo to continue wandering around.

While dealing with Hao Qiang's identity, Su Mo also figured out the disadvantages of cracking the mark.

In terms of the seriousness of the problem, it’s actually not that big.

It's probably after everyone's imprint points drop to 100 points and the time expires.

If you are inside the territory but not within the Free City, you will be forced to "flash" your computer, lose most of your data, and be locked out of the template usage rights, which will show similar effects to the cracked version.

At this time, if someone else transfers money to this cracked mark, it will be forced to turn on, but the identity will still be marked with a yellow warning, and a fine of 500 contribution points will need to be paid.

This kind of situation has happened many times in the Demon Soul Clan territory since the mercenary system was implemented.

Therefore, two ordinary gatekeepers dared to use their authority to forcibly erase the warning and only had to pay a fine.

"Director, let me go over there for a while and we can separate?"

Compared with the outer city, although the inner city is smaller, the shops are denser.

Seeing that Hao Qiang was more interested in the ordinary goods on the other side, after thinking about it, Su Mo nodded happily, and the two separated after agreeing on a time at the intersection.

Thanks to the fact that entering the inner city requires at least a green stamp and a level three or higher template.

Not only are the people wandering around and trading in the inner city much stronger than those outside, but even the items sold in the shops are rarer.

If you walk into any store that sells weapons and armor, you can see rare old technology weapons directly on the wall cabinets.

Although it can only be said to be average in terms of quality and treasure, for ordinary people, as long as they can own one or two pieces, it is definitely enough for self-protection!

In some shops selling imported goods, Sumo even saw "rare" items such as rice cookers, hand-held pesticide sprayers, water pumps, and miner's lamps that only humans could make.

"Master Hal, would you like two?"

As Sumo looked here and there in the store, with a curious look on his face, the servant in charge of sales and soliciting customers came up.

Because of the nature of the product and the fact that there is no market to draw from.

In the inner city, even the most common imported goods cost over a thousand points.

And some high-tech electronic products are priced at nearly 10,000 points.

"Sold well, don't sell it again next time!"

Picking up something that looked like a mobile phone, Su Mo trembled after seeing the price 48888 at the bottom and quickly put it back.

The Demon Soul Clan does not know how to use mobile phones and computers, which are good things that only humans can use.

But this does not prevent them from realizing the exquisiteness of these things and then charging a high price.

At present, the purchase of mercenaries has consumed all the profits of Xinhuo Exchange during this period. Considering that the remaining funds need to be turned around and planned for the future.

Turning his head helplessly, Sumo strode out of the store.

"I don't know where the Demon Soul Clan got these good things from. It's really strange."

"If there were 8,000 people in the depression now, each armed with a steel gun, they might be able to commit robbery, but now, we can only find ways to make more money!"

"Perhaps we can get in touch with the Demon Soul Clan Lord Shi Nin in advance?"

Remembering the name of the store selling imported goods and thinking of the direction that the stone ninja was responsible for, Somo continued walking forward thoughtfully.

According to what the previous servant said.

This human being, who knew the location of the super-large human gathering place, had been selling it in the inner city of the Demon Soul Clan for many days, and many people had seen it, but they did not buy it because of the risk.

As the external steward of Liberty City on the surface and the lord of the Demon Soul Clan secretly, the Stone Ninja definitely knew the information about this person before this, and had even met him more than once.

But he didn't buy it sooner or later. He bought it only after Hao Qiang came into contact with him and learned about this human gathering place.

The meaning revealed by this coincidence is quite intriguing.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that before I even looked for this stone ninja, he was already thinking of looking for me. No, I'm afraid it's not Hal that he's looking for, but"

"In the depression, the human Su Shen!"

Based on the other party's motives and just a few guesses, Sumo analyzed the stone ninja's thoughts in detail.

Hal is in contact with the human Su Shen. This is news that everyone within the Demon Soul Clan knows.

Without knowing their strength, given their past achievements, in the minds of these people, I am afraid that the strength of the depression is not lower than that of the Empire of Light, or even higher.

There is already a difficult enemy, and the Demon Soul Clan will certainly not make any more enemies for themselves, lest they be attacked from both sides.

As for the Lord Shi Nin, he wanted to make a comeback and regain the authority to control the Demon Soul Clan.

Not only does it require the cooperation of internal forces, but it also requires a reliable external ally to help it.

"The dwarves are currently expanding their territory at a high speed. They are busy grabbing more resources based on their numbers. They must not care about these messy things within the Demon Soul Clan."

"The tree people are too far away and have arrogant personalities, making it difficult to negotiate and control. In addition, after they leave their own territory, their combat effectiveness is erratic, and they are not a good partner."

"Among the several neighbors of the Demon Soul Clan, after counting, it seems that only the depression is more suitable."

"And want to contact the depression, this stone ninja"

Thanks to the direct suppression of information, even though the two of them had not met each other since their last separation, the stone ninja must have never imagined that they would not meet again before they met again.

All his motives were regarded as rotten by Sumo.

"It seems that my plan to occupy the dove's nest can be started in advance!"

"As long as we save 20,000 survival points, we will immediately find a way to kill this stone ninja and replace him!"

After understanding this, Sumo instantly lost the intention to continue shopping.

After returning to the agreed place with Hao Qiang and continuing to think about some other details, the two met and started walking towards the outer city.

With the staff handling it in advance, by the time Somo arrived at the city gate, seven mercenaries had been waiting for a long time.

Taking seven people with them, the group began their mighty return.

Wow!

The familiar test passed, and the inner city's shielding barrier disappeared, revealing the wasteland's original sky.

After some delay, it was now early six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the shops in the outer city to close.

Relying on the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon, people flowed into the Free City, people going home and people leaving the city.

"How is it, does it feel like a new life!"

The familiar yet unfamiliar scene seemed like a lifetime ago to all the mercenaries.

Upon hearing Sumo's joking inquiry, everyone nodded numbly.

But as Sumo's next words came out, there was a faint glimmer in their eyes!

"Let's go home!"

Home.

For mercenaries, it is an unfamiliar term.

And for those of them who are born with hatred and a mission, it is an extremely luxurious word!

Seeing that Sumo had strode out, everyone paused, looked at the door stone behind them that was already emitting a faint light, and followed him briskly.

From the outside, they don’t seem to be much different from when they “leave the factory”.

But looking at their subtle movements and expressions, you can see something that is extremely difficult to find in other mercenaries.

Spirituality!

"Shopkeeper, you are back!"

"these are"

In the distance, when they saw Somo coming back with seven new faces, the tree man in charge of cleaning had a glimmer of doubt in his eyes.

Subconsciously, he directly communicated the news directly in the mark.

However, unlike before, after he sends a message, the other party will reply instantly.

This time, even if Sumo walked into the exchange from far to near with a smile, there was still a pool of stagnant water in the mark!

For a moment, the tree man seemed to realize something, and the tree man was a little panicked.

But seeing the seven new colleagues with the same smiles as Sumo, he cheered up and went to greet them:

"Everyone, are you new here? Let me introduce to you the rules of our exchange."

"here it is"

"No, come in, I have something to announce!"

Before the tree man's slightly trembling voice could finish, Somo's words had already come out through the empty outer hall.

For just a moment, the tree man didn't fully react and make any move.

In his line of sight, seven of his colleagues immediately surrounded him, with the strong intention of taking action immediately as the tree man was about to leave.

Seeing the malicious looks in these people's eyes, Shuren's heart felt cold, but he still forced a smile that looked like crying on his face:

"What is this? What are you doing? We are all our own!"

"Come on, let's go, I'll show you the way!"

Like a kidnapped kidnapper, the moment the tree man entered the store, the mercenaries behind him quickly closed the door and lowered the bolt.

After being "escorted" all the way to the courtyard, looking at the other mercenaries already kneeling on the ground, the tree man's feet softened, and all the branches and leaves drooped down.

"Very good, eighteen people, our family has finally gathered together."

"Come on, tell me, which "adult" have you disclosed our internal information to?"

"By the way, there's no need to ask for help from the people behind you. I think they should know better than you what the situation is now, right?"

On the way back with the mercenaries.

Sumo did not choose a remote path or separate actions.

Wherever there were many people, he walked with seven people there.

Wherever there was prosperity, he would deliberately take the long way back.

Along the way, when greeting some idle people, Su Mo didn't have the slightest scruple. He introduced these people to the "masters" who had spent a lot of money to buy them as if they were selling!

This performance has a very good effect.

As of now, eighteen people can still stand here, and no one has left.

It is a "choice" and "compromise" by the people behind it.

"I said, I said, Master Hal, please don't kill me."

After sending a dozen messages in a row, I was sure that the other party had blocked me and there would be no reply.

The cook-turned-humans responsible for cooking immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and worshiped, and kept begging.

"The person looking for us is a werewolf named Ha Jin. He promised the three of us to contribute one hundred points a day each."

"Our job is to report what the owner ate, where he went, and"

Turner, who was standing aside, stepped forward suddenly: "And what?"

"And set fire to it if necessary!"

Wow!

Hearing the word "arson", Su Mo still felt a chill in his heart, even though he had guessed it in his heart.

Just like the marketing talents setting fire to the enemy's warehouse.

Obviously, the other party also knew where the weakness of Xinhuo Exchange was.

Relying on the identity of cooks, as long as the three modified people made a slight mistake, the whole house would instantly turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Together with the materials stored in the warehouse in the front hall, they would also be reduced to ashes with the sea of ​​fire!

By then, in the minds of the three mercenaries, Hal and Turner, who had no money and status, were just ordinary third-level template owners.

The big man behind them could of course use strong means to save them!

"Master, we are willing to recruit too. The person who hired us is..."

Three mercenaries spoke.

The others did not resist stubbornly, and they all explained the collusion with outsiders clearly like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Seventeen people, there are a total of eleven forces behind them.

While the first few people were talking, the seven newly bought mercenaries were still able to keep their minds steady.

But later, when the methods these people revealed became more and more "cruel", even they could not help but have murderous eyes.

The three people responsible for maintaining order usually record the latest activity information of the exchange and deliver it in time. At critical moments, they will directly cause trouble with those who are interested.

The five people who sort out the goods in and out are usually responsible for recording the sales of goods and reporting them. At critical moments, they are responsible for replacing goods, passing off inferior goods as good ones, and even stealing valuable goods, causing credibility problems for the Xinhuo Exchange.

The five people who guard the storefront and are responsible for soliciting and receiving guests are usually responsible for sorting out the membership list of the Xinhuo Exchange and reporting it. At critical moments, they transfer and steal the copies of contracts placed in the store to make huge profits!

When it comes to the two people responsible for cleaning the courtyard, their methods are even more cruel.

On weekdays, they are responsible for inquiring about the news and reporting what the two said and did to the superiors truthfully.

At critical moments, they will directly take action, responsible for poisoning, and destroying all evidence!

Like an all-round attack, eighteen people have taken over the entire exchange and the people living in it.

With the convenience of communication through imprints, what did the people living inside say in the last second?

In the next second, they may be able to find out and report it to the people behind.

"Very good, very good, you are really good!"

Recording all the crimes on paper, Turner was trembling with anger and his face twitched involuntarily when looking at these "bloody" words.

"I ask you, since you don't know who the big man behind these people is?"

"Why did you choose to betray us!"

"Do you believe that they can protect you?"

Facing Turner's angry questions, all eighteen people were silent.

A big gamble, with freedom and wealth on one side and life and death on the other.

From beginning to end, these gamblers can't be blamed for making wrong choices.

The only thing to blame is that Xinhuo Exchange rose too late, or rose too "early".

Who would have thought that a secondary shelter with no background and poverty could rank among the top twenty in just one week.

Who would have thought that Hal, who had failed to explore the depression, could magically continue to connect with others and become a close business partner, which was worthy of the investment of the escort team.

"Okay, Turner, send them on their way!"

"If they die in this gambling game, someone will come to repay their gambling debts!"

After putting away the evidence of everyone's crimes, he looked back and took a deep look at everyone present, and then Su Mo activated the restriction from the mark.

As the master of a group of mercenaries, under the restriction of authority, everyone instantly lost control of their bodies and became lambs to be slaughtered.

With full of anger, Turner licked his lips and stepped forward with a scimitar in hand.

As the first knife light fell, Su Mo nodded and looked at the blood spraying everywhere, and the seven mercenaries followed him sensibly.

"Don't worry!"

"From now on, we are a family!"

"If someone betrays me, even if he flees to the ends of the earth, I will personally catch up with him and take back the life I gave him"

"But if someone is loyal to me, I will give him freedom, give him strength, and help him fulfill all his wishes!"

Carrot and stick are always the best way to control people.

Listening to the screams coming from behind, all the mercenaries shrank their heads, with fear in their eyes.

However, just when Su Mo was about to continue speaking, the closed door was knocked, making a clanging sound.

"So soon?"

At this time, the person who could knock on the door must not be an ordinary trader.

Thinking that the mercenaries behind had only dealt with two, and the person who paid the gambling debt had already come to the door, Su Mo frowned and motioned Hao Qiang, who was standing aside, to open the door.

Clang!

The bolt was put down, and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside.

Seeing the two faces appearing at the door, Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face.

"Oh, this is a rare guest!"

"Manager Shi, come in, please come in!"
