Chapter 25 Come Down and Talk?
"What?!"
Luo Hong frowned and asked quickly:
"What kind of monster is it? Is it a blade-armed mantis?!"
An uncertain response came from the headset:
"Uh, no, it looks like an oversized wasp. I haven't seen it before, but it's definitely not a blade-armed mantis."
"Oh, it's good that it's not a blade-armed mantis..."
Luo Hong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't even notice that in this short siege, the roles of hunter and prey had quietly changed.
"You guys get closer to me as soon as possible. When we get together, we'll retreat."
Before the words fell, several screams suddenly came from the headset.
Luo Hong was startled, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
She tried to call out the names of several team leaders, but no one responded.
"Why did everything go wrong all of a sudden... Is it Lu Li? No... It shouldn't be Lu Li, it might be a sneak attack from other monsters..."
Luo Hong's words trembled, and fear slowly filled her eyes.
She suddenly remembered something.
The monsters near No. 1 Middle School seemed to have been almost cleared by the survivors in the school.
What is it that harvests lives in the dark? !
Luo Hong looked out of the car window suddenly.
It was pitch black outside.
It was not the kind of pitch black that could be seen with a faint light and the outline of things could be seen clearly with a little effort.
The darkness outside the car window was like a substance, as if it had condensed into an airtight wall.
It seemed to have life...
No,
It really had life!
Luo Hong was horrified to find that the 'darkness' outside the car window moved a little!
A deep voice suddenly came from the headset, and she almost screamed.
"Sister Hong, right? Let's get off the car and talk?"
"Who are you?"
As soon as the question came out, the answer appeared in Luo Hong's mind unconsciously.
Who else could it be except Lu Li.
"I am the person you want to kill."
The deep voice was relaxed, as if it was normal to introduce oneself.
Luo Hong forced herself to calm down, swallowed her saliva and said:
"I admit that you are very strong, stronger than I expected. But if you want to save my life, you will definitely pay a huge price!"
Luo Hong said this not bluffing.
Although her own talent does not have any combat power, the subordinates accompanying her in the car are not soft persimmons.
"Lao Hei, Xiao Ba, A Kun, upgrade!"
As Luo Hong gave the order, the three subordinates in the car immediately took out Yuan Jing to absorb.
The level increased and instantly entered Lv.4.
Luo Hong thought that doing so would at least make Lu Li feel a little daunted.
But what she didn't expect was that the voice coming from the headset was still calm:
"Look at you, are you not going to talk?"
Before Luo Hong opened her mouth, Lao Hei, who was sitting next to her, opened the car door first:
"Sister Hong, you stay in the car, let's go down and kill that guy!!"
"Yes! A guy who is not even on the level list must be playing tricks!"
Xiao Ba and A Kun responded in unison.
Before Luo Hong could say a word, the three of them had already gotten out of the car and disappeared into the thick darkness.
"Lao Hei... Xiao Ba..."
Luo Hong widened her eyes, trying to see some chance of victory through the car window glass.
But nothing happened.
The darkness outside was still sticky, like a pool of dead water.
Luo Hong couldn't even hear a trace of fighting.
The only movement was her own panicked breathing.
"... Are you really not going to come down to talk?"
Lu Li's voice sounded again, like a bomb detonated in Luo Hong's mind.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Luo Hong opened the car door like crazy and rushed out.
She saw that there was still light outside.
The unstable voltage street lamp flickered in the distance, and the weak light illuminated a small piece of the road.
But it couldn't illuminate Luo Hong's face full of fear.
Because around the vehicle, there was a circle of strange monsters.
They were big or small, tall or short.
The only thing they have in common is that they have no color at all, and the black is extremely pure.
In addition, the huge number and close positioning,
this creates the illusion of darkness around the vehicle!
Lu Li stood in the center of the monsters, looking at Luo Hong calmly.
"This, so many... What innate ability have you awakened?!"
Luo Hong screamed, and her spirit was obviously on the verge of collapse.
"Secret." Lu Li's mouth curled up: "But if you want to know, I might tell you after the transaction is successful."
"Transaction?"
Luo Hong was stunned, and her spirit on the verge of collapse recovered a little bit of rationality.
Yes,
If Lu Li really wanted to kill me, he could have done it long ago.
Why did he still say that he wanted to talk and trade?
Or he was not afraid of the Zhao family behind her!
Thinking of this, Luo Hong suddenly felt confident.
She raised her chin and returned to her usual high and mighty attitude:
"Why do you think you are qualified to negotiate a deal with me?"
Lu Li found it funny, and he stepped back half a step, revealing the three corpses behind him.
They were Luo Hong's three men.
The three men had wounds all over their bodies, and they didn't look like soldiers who died in battle.
Instead, they looked like rotten meat that had been thrown into a meat grinder and cut halfway.
Luo Hong's face changed, and he simply made up his mind and said with his neck stiff:
"If you want to do it, do it quickly! But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you kill me, you will offend the entire Zhao family!"
"At that time, you will be hunted by the Zhao family and will never have peace!"
Lu Li shrugged:
"I never said I wanted to kill you from beginning to end. I just wanted to negotiate a deal with you."
Seeing that there was really no killing intent in Lu Li's eyes, Luo Hong's eyes flashed with joy.
It’s done.
The person in front of me is really afraid of the Zhao family!
As long as this is confirmed, she, Luo Hong, can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations!
"What deal?"
Luo Hong pretended to be indifferent, but in fact he pricked up his ears with concentration.
"Yuanjing."
Lu Li smiled: "86 second-order elemental crystals, 28 third-order elemental crystals."
When Luo Hong heard these two numbers, he was stunned.
Because the number of yuan crystals reported by Lu Li happened to be the entire inventory collected by Zhao Jin in the past three days.
Of course, there are also a large number of first-order elemental crystals.
But Lu Li didn't mention it, and Luo Hong wouldn't be stupid enough to expose himself.
"I can't get that many, at most 30 second-order elemental crystals."
Luo Hong frowned, so it was difficult to do anything.
The inventory of Yuan Jing is a secret, and even few people under Zhao Jin know the specific quantity.
So she assumed that Lu Li was talking to the lion, and she was lucky enough to be fooled by his random nonsense.
But the smile on Lu Li's face remained unchanged.
He did not repeat it, but instead called up the data panel, simply edited a message on it, and sent it.
Ten seconds later, a message from Zhao Jin popped up on Luo Hong’s panel:
"Hong, are you controlled by Lu Li?!"
Luo Hong looked bitter and helplessly replied "yes".
I thought Zhao Jin would care about me to some extent, but unexpectedly he asked directly:
"How does Lu Li know the specific number of yuan crystals in stock? Have you told him?"
Luo Hong felt aggrieved, but still calmly replied:
"How is that possible! I don't know how he knew the specific number. He was probably lucky. Just give him 30 yuan crystals. If there are more, just say there are none."
I thought the problem could be solved here,
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin's next message directly made Luo Hong feel cold...
