Chapter 279 Death Place

Chapter 279 Death Place

This strange place is like a medieval fortress. At its core is a huge white-stone city. Outside the city are low-rise houses and dilapidated tents. The sky is gloomy and dark clouds cover this desolate land. The streets are bustling with people and entertainers. There are people selling alcohol and selling their bodies everywhere. (Dingding novel hand-written novel)

The people here generally have pale faces and lewd eyes. They are also dressed in rags and are as skinny as a stick. Many of them also emit a pungent stench. It is not known how long they have not taken a shower.

The bald man led two men, one tall and one short, towards the huge stone city in the distance. Xia Fei followed them quietly. There were many people here, and Xia Fei was very eye-catching in his combat uniform. He had an idea and got in Enter a shabby gray tent beside the road.

In the tent, a child of about seven or eight years old was sitting on the ground playing with a broken toy hover car. His face was as gray as those of adults, his body was thin and small, and his fingernails were full of dirt. soil.

Seeing Xia Fei come in, the child was not alert at all. He just looked at him stupidly, as if he didn't care why Xia Fei broke into his home.

"Don't look at it, this kid also smokes Bliss powder like those adults." Ghost Shadow said with a sigh.

"Bliss powder?" Xia Fei asked doubtfully.

"A drug that can anesthetize the human brain and cause hallucinations. After taking it, people will become extremely crazy, but after the crazy, they will be as numb as a walking zombie." Ghosting explained.

Xia Fei didn't say anything. There was almost nothing in the tent, except for a few tattered bowls and a pot. He slept on a pile of straw.

Xia Fei took off the only rainproof cloak from the hanger and covered himself. Before leaving, he took out dozens of energy bars and chocolates from the space ring and placed them next to the child. The child curiously played with the items left by Xia Fei. Something, his eyes suddenly looked brighter than before, and he seemed to be very curious.

"It's useless. The food you give that child will probably not fall into his belly. Once his parents find out, they will exchange it for bliss powder. Taking that stuff is like being possessed by a demon and there is no way to save it." Ghosting said.

"Maybe." Xia Fei said with a frown. The child didn't know the reason and would definitely not take drugs on his own. It must be a sin committed by his parents.

"Parents who give their children drugs?" Xia Fei said to himself, "This place should be called the City of Sin."

The Breath Condensation Technique can make people silent, and with the cloak full of holes on his body, Xia Fei can walk among the crowd without attracting the attention of others.

Along the way, Xia Fei couldn't help but feel emotional. Ten out of ten locals smoked Paradise Powder, ranging from the elderly to children of several years old. It seemed that drugs had become a part of the locals' lives here.

When we were about a mile away from Boulder City, the muddy road turned into a beautiful stone avenue. The clothes of the surrounding people were also very different from those outside the city. At least they were neat and tidy.

The three bald men were talking quietly as they walked. There was so much noise around them that even if Xia Fei pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear it. Out of caution, Xia Fei had been deliberately keeping a distance from them, using the surrounding terrain as cover to blend in. In the crowd.

Outside the city is a moat about fifty meters wide. There is a pontoon bridge on the river. There are more than a dozen fierce guards at the city gate. They glare at everyone who enters and exits the city. The three bald men walked onto the pontoon bridge and prepared to enter the city. , the short middle-aged man did not forget to turn his head and glance a few times.

Xia Fei hid in front of the orange stall on the roadside and pretended to pick fruits. At the same time, he was thinking about how to sneak into the city. It would not be difficult for Xia Fei to pass through the door with his speed ability, but I wonder if there are any sentient ones among these guards. People with super powers should avoid getting into any trouble in this strange place. The best way is to sneak in.

At this time, a suspended truck roared from a distance, blaring its loudspeaker frantically, completely ignoring the crowds of people on the street, charging all the way with an arrogant and domineering attitude.

The crowd immediately moved out of the way. No one dared to block the car's progress. Xia Fei thought and quietly bent down and pretended to tie his shoelaces. In fact, he had been looking at the speeding car from the corner of his eye. car, looking for opportunities to take advantage of.

The streets were muddy, and the hovercar brought out a lot of dirty water when it passed a muddy puddle. People around raised their arms and covered their faces with their sleeves.

At this moment, Xia Fei suddenly kicked off the ground, got under the suspended truck, and then used an incredible upside-down golden hook movement to enter the warehouse from a place not covered by the canvas.

All of this happened in just a few tenths of a second without anyone noticing.

The anti-shake system of the suspended truck was damaged and the vehicle was bumpy and abnormal, but Xia Fei was very comfortable in the carriage because it was filled with bags of flour.

Xia Fei rubbed his nose. The smell of these flours was very strange, full of sultry aroma.

Taking out a short knife from the space ring, Xia Fei gently opened one of the bags, and a dark yellow powder slowly flowed out of the bag.

"This is Bliss Powder. Such a large cart of drugs is probably worth more than 100 million star coins." Ghosting said.

Xia Fei nodded and saw that this place seemed to be the home of drug dealers. Such a large amount of drugs could run rampant in the city without restraint. Coupled with the countless drug addicts around, Xia Fei concluded that this place would never be peaceful. So, the man nicknamed Hook might be a drug dealer.

This car obviously had a lot of privileges. It could roar past the city gate without being checked. Xia Fei saw through the damaged part of the canvas in the warehouse that it had entered the city, so he sneaked out again.

Baishi City is quite prosperous. Although there are a lot of people, it is rare to see those pale drug addicts. It can be seen that the people living in the city are still very sensible and do not touch those fatal yellow powders.

There is a large building in the center of the city that looks a lot like a stadium. The top is shielded with a composite pulse laser. No bird can fly in. There are loud noises from time to time in the stadium, as if some fierce competition is going on. , the audience's voice was hoarse and crazy, and they were completely immersed in it.

It was no longer appropriate to wear a tattered cloak full of holes in a place like this, so Xia Fei followed the same example and brought a semi-short cotton robe commonly worn by locals from a house. It was light blue and also from A large-brimmed straw hat was handed over from the vendor and blended into the crowd again.

About a minute or two later, the bald man entered the city with his two men. Next to them was a short-sighted young man. The bald Lu San was very attentive to the young man and followed him without even daring to show off.

A few people walked towards the center of the city. When young people with small eyes saw something delicious on the roadside, they picked it up and took a few bites. If they thought it was good, they asked someone to pack some without giving any money. The vendors were careful. With a smile on his face, he dares to be angry but dare not speak.

They walked around the street several times and came to a large house with a red wall. There were many guards around the house, including dozens of fine hounds. The young man led the bald Lu San not to go through the main entrance, but turned down an alley and walked out. Enter through the side door.

The person who opened the door was a fat and shrewd woman. After looking at the people, she opened the door and let them in without asking any questions.

Xia Fei hid aside and watched clearly. If his guess was correct, all these incidents must have been caused by the owner of the family.

Xia Fei was not in a hurry to sneak in. He walked around the outside of the house and selected the most suitable place. There were few guards here, and there was a secluded grove behind the high wall, so it was quiet all around.

Hiding in the alley, Xia Fei picked up a small stone from the ground and flicked it with his right hand.

bass

The stone hit the hound next to the guard. The hound couldn't bear the pain and immediately spread its legs and ran away. The guard still held the reins in his hand. The hound went crazy and was so strong that it dragged him to the ground.

"The life-saving dog is going crazy," the innocent guard yelled.

"what happened?"

"The hound is crazy, stop it now"

The guards all around rushed to control the hound and rescue their companions. As soon as their front legs left, Xia Fei jumped into the house.

…

This house is very large and can be described as magnificent, but its interior decoration is just like a city built of stone. It is grand but lacks style in details, which makes it seem like a grand opening.

The room is huge and spacious, and the decorative sculptures are huge and rough. Even the hounds kept are large Saladilla wolfhounds, which are simply bigger than humans. The road is wide, and the trees on both sides of the road are also old. The huge tree crowns weigh down the people. Can't breathe.

Normally, it is not suitable to hide one's figure in such a grand courtyard, but it is not a problem for Xia Fei. The breathing method provides him with the best protection. Even if he walks past others, it will be difficult. Get attention.

Xia Fei guessed that the owner of the family would live in the center of the yard or in the back house, so he deliberately followed the wide main roads to find where there were the most people.

Sure enough, Xia Fei heard the laughter of the bald Lu San outside a hexagonal building. It seemed that he was happily talking about something with someone.

There were many burly men around, looking around vigilantly. It was not easy to sneak in. Fortunately, there were huge trees on both sides. Since Xia Fei could not pass on the ground, he turned his gaze to the sky.

There was no one around, so Xia Fei climbed up to the top of a big tree lightly, and then moved along a horizontal branch close to the balcony.

Xia Fei has not found any surveillance facilities since entering the house, which is incompatible with the style of the house. It seems that the owner of the house is extremely confident and thinks that a large number of guards alone are enough for defense.

The treetops were only seven or eight meters away from the balcony on the third floor. A gust of wind blew by, causing the trees to rustle and the branches and leaves to tremble. Xia Fei took this opportunity to lightly push on the branch and slide out like a bird, landing on the balcony.

Opening the window and sneaking inside, Xia Fei limped to the first floor and saw that this was a living room. The bald Lu San was chatting and laughing with an old man with a hooked nose, and his two followers, one tall and one short. He was standing a little further away cautiously.

In addition to them, there were dozens of tall guards scattered around looking out, and a few pretty-looking women kept serving tea and water.

Needless to say, this aquiline nose should be the so-called Hook. Xia Fei was slightly disappointed. He originally thought that Hook should wear a metal hook on his right hand, like the legendary Captain Hook, but he was wrong. The reason why Hook got this nickname is not because he has a steel hook on his arm, nor because he has used the steel hook as a weapon, but because of his nose.

The weight of this nose is probably more than two kilograms. Xia Fei has never seen such a huge facial organ in his life. Not only is it tall and straight, but the tip of the nose is also curved, like an eagle's beak. It looks weird on the old man's face and takes up a lot of space. Covering one-third of his face, anyone will be attracted by this unique big nose at first sight, thus firmly remembering this person.

The hook used his thumb to clasp the nostril without caring about the image. Normal people's nostrils are small and can only accommodate a little finger. However, this person's thumb was fully inserted and there was still a lot of space left. Xia Fei suspected that even a fist could easily accommodate it. Gotta get it down.

"Well, you have done a good job in this matter. I will definitely reward you heavily. If you want money or a woman, just say it. There is nothing I, Sky Hook, can't do." Hook said while picking his nostrils.

Bald Lu San and his two men looked very excited. Lu San hurriedly said: "Master Gou, it is our honor for us to work for you. How can we collect your things? As long as you are happy, we will be happy too." ”

Tian Gou laughed and said: "You are a bastard, you know how to flatter me, so from now on you are my people. I have a place on the planet Vinar No. 7. It was originally mine." There is a subordinate in charge, but unfortunately this guy is not cautious enough and was arrested by the Drug Enforcement Administration a while ago. You guys should go there and take care of him. "

Xia Fei was slightly startled. It was obvious that they were talking about the drug business, and Hook wanted Lu San and the others to act as middlemen, responsible for supplying goods to drug addicts.

Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will also be drug addicts, and the prosperous capital star circle is no exception. Unexpectedly, Hook's power has already penetrated into the capital.

Lu San nodded repeatedly. The drug business can be said to be a huge profit. Countless people want to take risks but can't find a way out. These underworld gangsters have already pinned their heads to their belts. There is nothing they dare not do. Of course, being hooked will not last long. It's a plan, but as long as there are no problems for three to five years, you can make a lot of money. By then, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you are unfortunately caught, you can only blame your own bad luck. Grandmaster does not reward me with food.

Hook and Lu San were not on the same level. After saying a few words, he asked someone to send Lu San and the others out. Xia Fei was secretly wondering. From the beginning to the end, he only heard them talking about drug transactions. Avril and others Not a word was said about the Jian family. Why on earth was this?

After seeing Lu San off, Gouzi stood up, stretched out, and waved to call a dark-faced man next to him over.

"What game is Death Matrix playing today?" Hook asked.

The black-faced man replied: "There haven't been any new products recently, they are all ordinary duels. Today's finale is a high-level plant constellation warrior versus a junior star player of the gravity system. The one from the plant system is good at control. Mandala is quite interesting.”

Hook curled his lips and said: "Plant-type powers are meaningless. They just create a lot of big green leaves. If you don't like it, go and make arrangements. Let's have a life-and-death battle tonight and let a speed-type Galaxy High The level player versus the butcher.”

The black-faced man looked troubled, "Master Gou, we don't have high-level speed users on hand. We only have a middle-level white-faced boy who was maimed by a butcher a few days ago. Now he has long been thrown into a mass grave outside the city." Yes, you should know this.”

Hook seemed to be nonchalant and said: "Don't worry, I've prepared the people for you. Ask the butcher to prepare them. His opponent is very strong."

Xia Fei's heart suddenly contracted, and a bad premonition came to him, "No, there must be something wrong with this, but where is the problem?"

Looking around, Xia Fei once again confirmed his exit route. This was also his habit. Whenever he entered a strange place, he would always prepare at least two escape routes in advance.

boom

The moment Xia Fei turned around, pulse laser beams suddenly burst out, completely blocking all escape routes on the first floor.

"It's broken, there's an ambush." ​​Xia Fei said nothing and pushed his legs on the ground with all his strength, and rushed out sideways.

In front of him was a seemingly ordinary concrete wall. His right arm chased the light and made a series of shrill sounds, breaking through the air. Xia Fei was about to destroy the wall. This was the last thing he left for himself in order to prevent the worst case scenario from happening. retreat

Eighteen round knives were arranged in a circle in the air, spinning towards the wall. According to Xia Fei's plan, this series of attacks would open a circular hole in the wall just enough for him to pass through. As long as he passed through this wall will enter the back garden. By then, with his speed and manipulation abilities, he will definitely be able to carve out a bloody path.

bang bang bang

The round knife accurately cut into the wall, but the wall did not break. Instead, it was like a magnet that firmly absorbed Xia Fei's pursuit of light and could not move.

Concrete blocks are flying everywhere

Xia Fei took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that the wall leading to the outside world was sandwiched with thick black flash alloy, which blocked the attack of the chasing light. The black flash alloy was strong and tough, and the extremely sharp chasing light could not break it. Open, half of the blade is buried in the wall

The bodyguards beside Hook in the distance gathered around him when they heard the movement, and dozens of people surrounded Xia Fei.

Hook turned his head to look at Xia Fei, frowned and said, "The decoration of my house is very expensive. Every wall has a mezzanine. If you know how to do it, don't try it."

Now Xia Fei has completely understood that this was a conspiracy from the beginning, a conspiracy that he was not aware of.

Feeling very annoyed, Xia Fei chose to calmly walk to the wall, pull out the round knives one by one with his hands, and then reinstall them on the machine spring of his right arm.

People make mistakes and horses make mistakes. Xia Fei is not a saint, so he can't make accurate calculations every time. But this time's mistake is indeed a bit tragic. Not only did he fall into someone else's plan, but what's worse is that Xia Fei doesn't even know where he is. where

Turning his head, Xia Fei looked at Hook calmly, "Sky Hook?"

Hook nodded and said nothing.

Xia Fei moved his wrist and walked towards him. The bodyguards couldn't help but step back and look at Hook. As long as he gave the order, these dozens of burly men would rush forward without hesitation.

"I just want to know one thing." Xia Fei said calmly.
