Chapter 543: Background, Reflection, New Dormancy

Subconsciously, Su Mo was told that the owner of the Demon Realm Exchange was dealt with by the guards for unreasonable reasons, which would surely arouse public anger and cause civil unrest in the Free City.

Reality also told Su Mo that all the merchants chose to remain silent, as if this incident had never happened.

Everyone was speculating that the top ten exchanges and their subordinate merchants had given in and were intimidated by the powerful force of the guards and did not dare to take any action.

But now, looking at this crystal clear box with a very regular template combination.

All doubts and unreasonable places began to quickly connect in Su Mo's mind.

"The invasion of the Empire of Light came so strangely. The guards, as the defenders, were fooled by them like fools."

"I will never believe that there is no insider in Liberty City!"

"But if you want to be an insider of the enemy forces and create such an opportunity, there are only ten major exchanges in the city."

"Not good, if this box of crystals is the capital they leave here in case of failure and wait for a comeback, then once things are impossible, they come back to get things and just bump into me."

"Oh no, we have to retreat quickly!"

In a few breaths, Su Mo instantly analyzed the current situation in the city thoroughly.

First of all, the ten major exchanges have recently been kind enough to help some subordinate exchanges repair houses and renovate their facades, which looks like the last preparation before winter.

But if you think about it carefully, it just creates conditions for the people of the Empire of Light to dig holes underground!

If the guards had not thought that the top ten exchanges were trying to lure Xinhuo Exchange to invest and force it, I'm afraid that the underground of Xinhuo Exchange would also become a gateway for the cyborgs to enter the city!

Secondly, the purpose of these greedy businessmen is definitely not to destroy Liberty City and turn themselves into lonely ghosts without a clan.

They deliberately lured the cyborgs of the Bright Empire into the city in order to become a handle in their hands to negotiate with the guards and redistribute the interests.

If the negotiations are successful, they will definitely have corresponding means to end this farce of letting the wolf into the house.

But if the negotiations fail.

This is probably the capital left by the top ten exchanges to develop in other places!

Thinking about this clearly, looking at the box in front of him that was still emitting a crystal light, Su Mo suddenly felt a little tricky.

But fortunately, Dyson's surprise shout from downstairs made him come back to his senses instantly, and he had a new idea in his mind.

"Fuck! It was taken by the cyborg anyway, what does it have to do with me!"

"It just so happens that there are a few scapegoats downstairs. I will definitely not use these templates in Liberty City. They don't have the courage to come and investigate in the depression!"

"What's more, if they fail in the negotiation, they will be like a dog that has lost its home, how can they have the ability to investigate!"

Compared to the large number of imported goods collected before, the value of the templates in the box is not inferior at all.

Although starting from the fourth-level template, choosing to load requires a higher level of mark.

But compared with the mark, it is obviously more difficult to collect the template!

He didn't dare to take the box directly, and took out the pocket on his waist, and the templates in the box were quickly moved.

Then, after putting the box back to its original place, he didn't go to other rooms to continue searching. Following the original path, Su Mo quickly went down to the first floor.

"Brother Su, we've made a fortune!"

"These materials, when we return to the city, can definitely be sold at a sky-high price, enough to make up for one, or even two, fifth-level templates!"

Just like Su Mo found hundreds of high-level templates upstairs, Dyson also found a sack of high-level materials on the first floor.

Even though the bag was covered with black cloth, there was still a faint black light emanating from it, which looked quite extraordinary.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, I suspect the identity of the person inside is extraordinary, if we find it back, we'll be finished!"

Looking at Su Mo who returned empty-handed, Dyson wanted to say something else, but when he saw Su Mo's serious face, he thought of the nearly 100 enemies at the door.

In an instant, he also reacted quickly, hurriedly pulled the bag on his shoulder, and limped out of the door with Su Mo.

Wow!

Su Mo picked up a torch at the door and threw it gently into the door.

As the pine oil touched the floor, flames began to spread and gradually spread to the side.

Knowing the importance of destroying the corpses and traces, the other three were not idle either. They all came to other places and cast torches, which promoted the fire again.

"Let's go? Now there are only four of us left, and it's not enough to support hunting."

In terms of harvest, let's not talk about the materials in the exchanges in advance. The bag on Dyson's back alone is enough for several people to struggle for half a lifetime!

But surprisingly.

Looking at the three teammates who seemed to be wailing in the sea of ​​fire, they all stood silently with deep fear in their eyes.

"No, let's go separately. The four of us are too conspicuous. If we are seen by others, we will be in trouble!"

"As for the things, my share will be kept with you, Dyson, for the time being. When I go home, I will find you again!"

Pointing to the joint where shouts and killings have spread, Su Mo lifted up the red face towel.

The secretion of adrenaline temporarily blocks the human body's perception of pain to a large extent.

But this does not mean that the combat effectiveness will return to its heyday.

Fortunately, the few cyborgs were able to still use their fourth-level combat power after their bodies had completely cooled down.

But the wound on Su Mo's thigh has seriously affected his flexibility and the transmission of strength.

According to his strength, it's okay to fight against an ordinary fourth-level warrior alone, but if he encounters a fifth-level warrior, Su Mo will have to pay a heavy price, or even risk his life!

"Okay, Brother Su, I, Dyson, will protect your share even if I die!"

"If we are both alive by then, you can find me directly at Aaron's Tavern!"

When the time comes, Su Mo nodded and flew westward.

The tool man, the assaulter, and Dyson decided to choose a direction, speed up their pace and disappear on the street.

They didn't dare to run straight to the Xinhuo Exchange.

On the way, Su Mo changed seven or eight directions in a row. After confirming that there was no one following him, he carefully went to the auxiliary road of the exchange.

Now, it was more than four o'clock in the evening.

With the heavy snow flying in the sky, the fires in most places in Liberty City have been extinguished, leaving only the smell of burning wood and ice.

In the direction of the inner city, the shouting and killing sounds have also subsided a lot. It seems that both sides have reached a limit.

"It's so cold, no wonder the cyborgs come to attack in such weather"

"The temperature of minus 15 degrees may be a constraint for the Demon Soul Clan, but for the cyborgs, it is a weapon to help them dissipate heat and extend the overclocking time!"

The loss of blood and the retreat of adrenaline take away the few body temperatures.

Despite the bandage of the tool man, Su Mo still couldn't stop shivering while running all the way.

Gritting his teeth, he persisted until the remote street where the back door was located appeared in front of him, and then Su Mo trembled all over, and the dwarf craftsman template was cut out again.

Unlike the Demon Soul Clan without a body, as long as the template is switched, the injury will be repaired instantly.

The injury of the demigod body is still transmitted to the dwarf, and because of the size, it looks more intimidating.

"Hoo-hoo!"

"Thank goodness I'm back!"

In the snow, the lame dwarf had a hard time keeping his balance.

Every few steps, Su Mo would slide to the ground because of the imbalance of his center of gravity.

After walking about a hundred meters with difficulty, Su Mo slipped to the ground again with an unstable foot. He simply turned around and lay down, and began to recover his exhausted strength.

"These newly arrived alien races, relying on their previous foundation, really took advantage in the early stage"

"When I go back this winter, I must develop old weapons suitable for ordinary humans to fight"

"If I can find some new people to join the depression, the number of people will be increased to about 3,000 or 5,000"

"Then, it will be time to decide the winner!"

The medium-sized machine tool is restricted by the game, and the use fee is as high as 50,000 points.

The small machine tool can no longer be produced because of the cancellation of the manufacturing function.

After returning to the era of cold weapon warfare without the hotbed of gun and ammunition production

For a powerful weapon and a large population, Su Mo had ten or a hundred times more desire than before.

However, imagination is very rich, and reality is too skinny.

Seeing the ice and snow that was about to cover his entire body, and feeling his body temperature getting lower and lower, Su Mo could only helplessly get up and continue to move forward.

But this time, it was different from before.

Before he could take a few steps, a gust of air gushed over, and the dwarf's small body was instantly thrown out like a balloon.

Wow!

Boom!

The loud noise, which was slightly slower than the air wave, was like putting a subwoofer next to the eardrum and releasing it at the maximum volume, making people collapse.

Under such a sudden and terrifying attack, Su Mo, maintaining the last bit of consciousness, turned around with effort and looked at the source of the loud noise.

"Fuck, what is this...?"

Before he finished speaking, the second air wave hit again.

With the collapse of the surrounding buildings, this time, Su Mo finally couldn't hold on and fainted instantly.

Fortunately, the impact this time also caused some collapse of the road surface.

With the third wave of impact coming again, the second exit of the basement was completely exposed halfway and appeared on the ground.

More than half an hour later, with the disappearance of the shock wave, the outside world slowly fell into the cold silence of winter.

And at this moment, with a creak, the door of the basement finally made a sound.

Then, as the people inside exerted force, the snow outside the door was slowly pushed open, revealing the darkness below.

There was no rush to go out. The people inside were extremely cautious. It was not until three or five minutes later that the first sneaky lizard came out.

He first looked around, and like Su Mo before, he observed the fire for a while before carefully taking the first step.

But the next second, after seeing a familiar "object" on the left side of his sight that looked like an obstacle.

A scream bloomed on the block.

"Oh no, why is the shopkeeper lying at the door!"

"Hurry up, the shopkeeper has fainted!"

Don't underestimate any opponent.

Don't underestimate any race.

Always remember that if you get hurt, you will die!

This is the motto that Su Mo has kept in mind since the first day he came to the wasteland and met the dog-headed man.

Since then.

Every time he fights, even in critical situations, he will only use 80% of his strength and keep 20% for reaction.

But this time, Su Mo admitted.

The emotion of arrogance is not dominated by human will. His "birth" is silent and his "growth" is even more difficult to detect.

If you count the number of people who were defeated and died because of their arrogance in history, there are actually not many.

Overlord Xiang Yu created mythical results in both the Julu and Pengcheng battles, but the defeat at Gaixia became an eternal regret.

The martial sage Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals. He flooded seven armies and shocked China, but was defeated in Maicheng.

Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi, Napoleon's Waterloo, there are countless such examples.

But if they say that they are self-inflated and seeking death, it is difficult to match them.

Continuous victory and constant strategizing will indeed make people get lost in this kind of gain and this kind of confidence.

Looking at the dark ceiling, I felt the pain that seemed to fall apart all over my body.

Sumo was very happy that he still

Stay alive!

"Shopkeeper, the food will be ready soon. I'll bring it to you right away!"

There was a rustling sound, the basement door opened, and Hao Qiang poked his head in.

The underground ventilation conditions are limited, and the materials are limited. It is not easy for everyone to make this meal.

Two people stand guard, two people look for ingredients, and two people cook.

It took half an hour of nervousness before a small pot of paste was produced.

Not wasting the good intentions of these people, Somo looked at the mush that was coming to his mouth, struggled to smile, leaned against the wall, and started drinking.

"Hao Qiang, what time is it?"

"It's early seven o'clock, it's going to be dawn soon!"

"How's the situation outside?"

"The reformers who invaded the city must have retreated. There are now guards on the main roads to maintain order. However, there are currently many injured people, just like you, the shopkeeper. Even if they change their templates, their injuries are still not good. recover"

"Xinyi went out to investigate and found out that it was a potion specially made by the Cyborg. As long as the weapon is injured by this potion, even if the template is changed, the injury will not be restored. You can only use the most primitive method to recuperate."

For the convenience of management, the purchased reformers have been renamed to new characters by Turner, which means new life.

According to different abilities and responsibilities, the names are divided into one to seven.

"They can't recover from their injuries?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people making trouble outside now, and most of them are clamoring to open warehouses to stock up on food and demand that we tide over the difficulties together."

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid order may not be restored by the afternoon!"

Squatting next to Su Mo, a trace of sadness flashed across Hao Qiang's face.

He originally thought that only humans and aliens would fight to the death, fighting to the end for the territory of survival.

But when I came to Liberty City, I saw with my own eyes the fight between the Cyborgs and the Demonic Soul Clan, as well as the tragic situation in the city after the war.

He suddenly understood completely the true meaning of war and the situation that Depression was about to face.

"Is that giant dragon still there?"

Watching Somo finish his last sip and put down the bowl in his hand, he looked worried.

Hao Qiang was stunned and shook his head silently.

"The last giant dragon that appeared last night was the eighth-level Flame Dragon. It is most likely the Demon Soul Clan's trump card. I heard them say that there was no real fight after the Flame Dragon appeared. It only breathed out three times and the stalemate lasted for a while. Then he disappeared."

"I guess that the flame dragon stopped because he was afraid that he would not be able to stop fighting and destroy the Free City. Of course, it is also possible that he had reached an agreement with the reformers of the Light Empire."

"Anyway, in the end, quite a few of the reformers put down their weapons and retreated. It was a fight for both sides!"

Hao Qiang's expression was quite normal as he had never seen the giant dragon covering the sky and the sun with his own eyes.

But after listening to his narration, how he almost destroyed half of the city in just three breaths, and after recalling the scene that was engraved in his mind, Somo felt something in his heart and nodded with fear.

At the last second when he fainted, the giant dragon with flames all over its body and a length of at least three hundred meters left a deep impression on people.

It is different from the seemingly endless gods hanging in the sky.

The pressure of the giant dragon was truly felt on everyone present!

Moreover, the gods have many restrictions on their actions, but this dragon gives people the feeling that it can do whatever it wants.

Its meaning is equivalent to:

To an ordinary person, the threat of nuclear missiles is far less than that of an assault rifle.

"Okay, I understand, don't worry about my injuries!"

"You guys go out first and let me rest for a while!"

Lying down on the bed again, watching Hao Qiang turn around and leave, Su Mo withdrew his gaze and started to stay still again.

Unlike the shock to the soul, the physical injuries were not serious after entering a safe environment.

You only need to wait until the number of body changes is refreshed at eight o'clock, and then you can switch out the psionic water for quick recovery.

In addition, there are demon souls outside as cover, so even if someone is found injured afterwards, there won't be a big problem.

But right now, the troublesome thing is not the injury, but the future of the depression!

"Hibernating, we can't wander any longer, we must return to the depression quickly!"

"If we don't take advantage of this winter to make drastic developments, once spring begins, such wars are bound to break out several more times!"

"At that time, if you fall behind, you may really get beaten!"
