Chapter 577 Funds Are Burning! (1/2)

In the hotel at the entrance of Pinecone Wood Farm, candlelight flickered in the simply decorated guest room. Wu Wenzhou, who had been unable to fall asleep, was pacing back and forth in the room.

Things are getting bigger and bigger...

At first, he just promised Yang He to provide some help to the mercenary and take Yang He's six-year-old daughter out of the Zhao mansion.

Whether it was for the sake of his kindness or for his own interests, he planned to help.

This doesn't require a lot of risk.

Although Yang He was his leader, he did not do this through him, but through mercenaries hired from outside.

After the incident, he could have lied and claimed ignorance.

And if Yang He completely withdraws from Pine Cone Wood Farm, stays loyally, and draws a clear line with Yang He, he will be the royal merchant of Pine Cone Wood Farm in the future.

Although Yang He also persuaded him to go together, relying on the capital accumulated in the past, they could still make a lot of money even without using the resources of Pinecone Wood Farm.

However, without even thinking about it, he politely declined.

He desires power and wealth more than illusory freedom.

He was very aware of the difference between him and Yang He. The guy might have enjoyed it enough, but he hadn't tasted the fascinating taste yet.

Maybe in the future he will make the same choice as his former boss, but that will have to be after he saves a lot of money.

Now he takes the risk and leaves. Not only will all his previous efforts to please the master be in vain, but he will never be able to live the kind of life he dreams of.

However, after seeing what happened in Hope Town and having a detailed discussion with the guy named Fang Chang, a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

To make money, you have to have life to spend it.

Maybe the boss is right.

People here have gone crazy.

Therefore, he agreed to the conditions offered by the alliance without hesitation and helped the alliance soldiers enter the settlement. In exchange, the Alliance would send a plane to pick him and his family up from the plantation.

However, what he didn't expect was that things would deviate from the track he envisioned from the beginning.

The people of the Alliance never thought of quietly investigating the "sacred area" and the bishop hiding there. Instead, they were planning a more terrifying and bold conspiracy.

What he didn't expect even more was that when they were in Hope Town, they were targeted by Captain Luo Feihui's spy, and that ambitious guy also got involved.

No matter how stupid he is now, he has come to his senses.

I was fooled!

But it can't be said that the alliance deceived him, it's just that these cunning guys didn't tell all their inner plans.

After all, compared to carefully infiltrating, bribing relevant personnel to obtain information, and directly occupying the farm, catching relevant personnel and slowly interrogating them is also a kind of investigation.

And it’s much more efficient.

not only that.

If the alliance controls the entire farm, his family will naturally be safe, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the exchange conditions he proposed.

But--

Is it really that smooth?

He couldn't help but look at the darkness outside the window.

Isn't it too quiet this night...

"Dong dong——"

There was a knock on the door.

The sudden sound startled Wu Wenzhou, who was fidgeting, and he hurriedly walked towards the door.

His hand was on the doorknob, but he didn't open the door immediately. He asked cautiously first.

"who?"

"..."

It was quiet outside the door, not a sound could be heard.

The knock on the door seemed to have gone away, but he was sure that the person was still at the door because he did not hear the leaving footsteps.

With an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart, he changed his left hand to hold the doorknob, reached into his pocket with his right hand, held the revolver in his pocket, and gently opened the safety.

Then, he gritted his teeth and opened the door.

Standing at the door was the hotel's accountant, his acquaintance Li Liangchuan.

Seeing that familiar face, Wu Wenzhou breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and his pounding heart immediately calmed down, as if a heavy burden of hundreds of kilograms had been lifted off his whole body.

"...Holy shit, you knocked on the door and didn't say anything. You really want to scare me to death!"

The man standing at the door didn't speak. He just stood there as if sleepwalking, staring straight at him, closing his mouth and saying nothing.

Stunned by that empty gaze, Wu Wenzhou swallowed nervously and tentatively called his name.

"...Liangchuan?"

The man still didn't respond, his pupils standing there lifeless.

Finally feeling something was wrong in his heart, Wu Wenzhou retreated into the guest room, took out the revolver in his pocket, and pointed it at the man's head.

He roared with a ferocious expression.

"You guy...what are you doing! You're just pretending!"

It seemed that he finally had a little reaction to the threatening voice, or maybe he was awakened by something else. The innkeeper slowly moved his lowered gaze to look at him who retreated into the guest room.

Staring closely at those dull pupils, Wu Wenzhou swallowed and retreated to the wooden table by the window again. While aiming at the head, his index finger was already on the trigger.

From those cloudy pupils, he saw the desire for flesh and blood!

That is the look in the eyes of a hungry beast when it sees its lone prey. He will definitely not be mistaken after walking in the wasteland for many years!

There's something wrong with this guy!

There is definitely a problem!

"Don't come here! I'm warning you! If you come here again, I'll shoot you——! Ahhh!"

He vented his anger and fear with a roar. Looking at his friend who staggered towards him, he decisively pulled his index finger on the trigger.

And not just once!

"Bang bang——!"

The explosion of gunpowder resounded in the room, and the bullet shattered his friend's head without any suspense, carrying plasma and brain mush to the corridor.

"Don't blame me...I warned you."

Staring at the corpse on the ground, Wu Wenzhou leaned on the table and panted hard. However, before he could recover, the figures appearing at the door made his expression change instantly.

One, two, three...

That's a bunch!

Wearing waiter uniforms, they were like walking zombies. They stared at him with abyss-like eyes, then opened their mouths and let out a low growl that sounded like mud.

"Uh-huh——"

Like a rushing torrent.

They pounced.

"Ahhh!" Wu Wenzhou, terrified, fired wildly at the crowd rushing in with his revolver.

Along with the explosion of the gunshot, the flame of the gun flickered in the half-closed window, like a candle swaying in the evening breeze.

After a while, a pool of scarlet blood smeared on the window, followed by a twisted face and bloody handprints, completely blocking the warm light...

At the same time, in the center of the settlement.

The magnificent mansion belonging to the farmer was also shrouded in a bloody atmosphere at this moment.

"Aren't you looking for me?"

"Now that I'm right in front of you, why don't you say anything? Quack, quack—"

Along with that voice, there was a shriveled laughter, echoing in the dead silence hall with an indescribable weirdness.

Everyone immediately looked up, only to see a middle-aged man standing on the raised stand on the second floor, looking over the guardrail at the people standing in the hall.

He seems to have been waiting here.

Wait for them to come over on their own.

After a quick glance at the image on the VM, Fang Chang's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at the man again, his eyes full of surprise.

Zhao Tianqian? !

wrong--

"...Luo Gan?"

Fang Chang stared at that person intently.

Luo Yu glanced at him hastily, his eyes seeming to ask "What are you talking about?"

However, Fang Chang did not answer.

Just now, he thought of a possibility...

Although it sounds a bit weird, this can explain why the sanctuary is an absolutely safe place.

And from a non-religious scientific perspective...

Because that thing is not "on the ground" at all.

Precisely because he is not on earth, anyone can theoretically hear his gospel. And as long as he wants, he can appear anywhere.

Hearing that name, a strange smile appeared on the man's face.

"Haha... did you react? It was faster than I thought."

"Ah, that's it..."

Fang Chang looked at him calmly, his expression gradually becoming dignified.

Glancing at the expression on Fang Chang's face, the dog swallowed his saliva at the good name, and hurriedly asked nervously and excitedly.

"What are you talking about...why can't I understand?!"

He can understand a few Chinese couplets.

But after listening to it for a long time, I was confused.

Fang Chang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

"Psychic interference device!"

"Psychic... interference?!" Luo Yu glanced at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly mentioned that thing.

Does that thing have anything to do with the current situation?

Fang Chang stared at the man intently and said calmly.

"Remember, the characteristics of the mind interference device...the higher the mind, the more specific the information can be received, but the relative impact is smaller. The lower the mind, the less information can be received, but the relative impact is greater."

His Adam's apple moved and he continued.

"Excessive consumption of Naguo will cause people to enter a state of 'fugue'... If they are in that state, their mind will probably be close to zero."

The real “gospel” may not be that pill!

It's a mind interference device working somewhere!

The real function of that pill is not to suppress addiction reactions at all!

It's something that amplifies the signal or assists in analyzing the signal!

Of course, this is just his guess.

But one thing is for sure!

From the time they arrived at Pinecone Wood Farm—no, it should have been even earlier, that guy had been targeting them!

The man standing on the balcony on the second floor had a fierce look in his eyes.

"Goliath, kill them!"

"Roar--!"

The moment the man finished speaking, Roshan, who was sitting on the ground, let out a deafening roar, and the windows of the entire building were shattered outward by the terrifying sound waves.

"Well--"

Several players standing in the hall covered their ears. Although the pain was blocked, everyone's hearing was almost disabled.

In the spirit of catching the thief first, Good Dog quickly raised his gun and hit the man standing on the stand with two bangs.

A string of blood beads burst out from the man's abdomen and shoulders, and he fell backwards without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the boss was so aggressive. The good dog stared in surprise, and then spat with excitement.

"Bah! You're so pretentious!"

Fang Chang's voice came from the side.

"Don't let your guard down! That guy is just a puppet!"

Good Dog: “WTF?!”

"Fire!" Fang Chang tightened his grip on the rifle and pointed it straight at the big man sitting among the dead.

The lump of meat sitting on the ground had stood up and rushed towards the players standing at the entrance of the hall with heavy steps.

"Tu tu tu tu—!"

The muzzle of the gun sprayed tongues of flame, and the bullet casings thrown from the barrel fell to the ground with a clang.

Luo Yu pulled the trigger without hesitation, and streaks of orange tracer light shot towards the charging monster.

However, what surprised him was that his bullet seemed to shoot into a huge pile of gel, without even causing a single ripple on the body like a giant wall!

"I'm going to blanch! What the hell is this?!"

The bullets fired focused on the monster's huge head, but there was still no reaction from the huge mountain of flesh.

The kinetic energy is completely absorbed!

Even in the face of the concentrated fire of ten rifles, the monster named Goliath still did not stop at all. His giant windmill-sized hand slapped the people standing in front of the door, setting off a strong wind in the spacious hall.

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing that the monster was about to rush in front of him, the Xiaoyu fruit entity wearing the K-10 "Iron Wall" exoskeleton pulled out a combat knife and rushed forward with long strides.

The sharp blade pierced the monster's left chest.

However, surprisingly, the blood did not spurt out, as if the heart was not there at all!

The blade that pierces in only hits the fat!

"Bleach——"

A short mournful cry sounded in the communication channel.

The monster was like a train. It stopped for only a moment, then knocked the Xiaoyu fruit entity wearing the exoskeleton away, and continued to rush towards everyone with unabated momentum.

However, Xiaoyu's fruiting body finally bought some time for everyone and avoided the whistling slap.

Raising his arm to block the flying broken tiles, Fang Chang pulled out the incendiary bomb inserted into the exoskeleton and slammed it at the monster named Goliath.

Flames exploded on the monster's body!

However, compared to its fat body, the burning flame was like a cluster of flames flickering on a lighter, which could not hurt it at all.

but--

Originally, he didn't expect to use this thing to solve this monster.

While Goliath roared in pain, Fang Chang shouted loudly in the communication channel.

"Team C and D evacuate the building!"

"The drone crew is ready to fire!"

"Old Bai! Come here and give us a hand!"

"Ye Shi! Are you okay? If it doesn't work, let it go. We are leaving!"

Ye Shi did not get off the carriage before, but stayed in the carriage and followed the coachman to the servant's dormitory, replacing Luo Yu to find the six-year-old girl.

After all, Luo Yu has to command Xiao Yu's fruiting bodies, and only when he is nearby can those "little Xiao Yus" exert their greatest combat effectiveness.

No reply was heard from Ye Shi on the communication channel.

However, Lao Bai's voice came quickly, accompanied by the whistling wind.

"...Hang on! We are on our way and will be there soon!"

At the same time, the harsh broadcast tore through the silent night, and the shriveled laughter echoed over the manor.

"Hahaha……"

"it's useless."

"You can't escape!"

"Stay here!"

Goliath roared, directly knocking down the wall connected to the front door of the villa, and his distorted face roared at the players who fell into the vestibule.

"Roar--!"

The noisy air waves blew away the leaves and dust, and the C and D teams who withdrew from the villa alternately fired at the monster.

At the same time, Team B, who was squatting in the flower bed, and Team A, who was coming back from the backyard, also held their rifles and focused fire on the monster.

Goliath's movements stagnated for a moment, and there was a hint of pain in his angry roar. It was obvious that it was not immortal.

When injured, it also feels pain!

At this moment, two flames dragging tail flames fell from the sky, hitting the monster's shoulders accurately.

The explosion of fire swallowed Goliath, and the deafening roar was cut off abruptly.

There was a burning smell floating in the hot air.

When the dust from the explosion dispersed, a mass of bloody flesh was seen standing at the collapsed gate of the villa. It looked so miserable that its original shape could not be discerned.

Pieces of black coke were scattered on the ground, with gray smoke and heat waves floating around. Those should be fragments peeled off from it.

Looking at the steps and stone paths burning in silence, as well as the towering and motionless mountain of meat, Luo Yu swallowed.

"Have you done it..."

seem--

not at all.

If you look closely, you can see that the fat body is still undulating evenly. Even though it was shattered by the missile, it still didn't take its last breath.

not only that!

Earthworm-like flesh strips sprouted from the wounds on its back, twisted and intertwined, and the damaged parts were stitched together at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This incredible recovery speed is outrageous even for mutants.

Its legs had been repaired and it suddenly began to retreat backwards.

When Fang Chang saw this, he immediately shouted into the headset.

"Strong wind! Two more shots!"

A calm reply came from my ears.

"receive."

As the words fell, two tongues of fire flashed through the night sky, and two missiles fell from the sky, hitting the monster that was repairing itself again!

One of the missiles was inserted directly into the healing wound, and tentacle-like pieces of flesh were stirred on the side of the missile, trying to throw it out of the body.

However, its response was obviously a step slower.

The fire of the explosion exploded with a bang, easily tearing the piece of meat wrapped around the missile into pieces, and swallowed the monster inside again.

No matter how outrageous the recovery speed is, it is still a carbon-based creature. If two missiles are not enough, just two more missiles will be enough!

But this time, it was apparently enough.

The behemoth fell heavily to the ground and finally stopped moving.

Large pieces of black slurry gushed out from the wounds all over his body, as thick as petroleum, both like blood and fat.

The battle is over.

However, the crowd did not cheer.

Everyone was extremely awake, and they were standing in the middle of the Pine Cone Farm. There were at least three thousand-man teams outside.

There was such a big commotion in the boss's house, with bullet holes and blood all over the house. Even if they had a thousand mouths, they probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

The only one who could possibly control the situation, Luo Feihui, was dead.

"Something is wrong..."

Fang Chang withdrew his gaze from the rockery-like body and glanced around with vigilance, the muzzle of his gun wandering along the edge of the garden.

"Is it too quiet around here?"

If I remember correctly, there were at least two sentries with more than a hundred soldiers along the way from the main entrance of the manor to where they were now.

Even if only a few minutes had passed since the battle was triggered, the patrols and sentries on duty nearby were as if they were deaf and had no reaction at all.

He hurriedly glanced at the thermal imaging aerial photo on the VM. The huge corpse in the center of the screen was shaking with white light. The bright spot in front of the villa was obviously them.

Further afield, a string of bright white spots had gathered near the manor, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

This is not abnormal.

However, when he zoomed out and looked further away, he saw that the bright spots marking the soldiers were still moving along fixed routes, patrolling in an orderly manner...

Fang Chang suddenly realized something and shouted immediately.

"Strong wind! Use up all the ammunition you have prepared!"

"Lighting?"

At the same time as the two words blurted out, Guangfeng seemed to have reacted. Without hesitation, he aimed at the open space outside the settlement and fired out the remaining four "Pigeon" missiles on the drone.

However, a strange scene happened.

After the four missiles were fired, they turned directly in the air, adjusted their direction, and blasted towards the main entrance of the villa.

Seeing the tongue of fire turning in the air, Fang Chang's face changed wildly, and he shouted loudly on the team's voice channel.

"Come into the villa!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the villa he had evacuated from earlier.

Almost at the moment when he stepped into the door, the flames of the explosion bloomed not far behind him, and the hot air wave pushed him directly into the door. His helmet hit the pillar and he almost fainted.

He was lucky.

The two players were only one step too late before they were caught in the boiling fire and died on the spot under friendly fire support.

The sound of strong wind came from the communication channel.

"The drone was hijacked...Sorry! My-"

"It's not your fault...there are experts on the other side."

Looking back at the burning flames, Fang Chang, who sat up from the ground, took a breath and stood up with the butt of his gun on the ground.

He suddenly remembered his previous encounter with the Torch Church in the East District of Qingquan City during the mission of transporting fuel rods.

There are not many of them, but they are well-equipped and well-trained. If it weren't for the home field advantage and the timely support from Brother Mosquito's aircraft, they would have almost no chance of winning.

A ball of flame burst into the air.

After actively detecting that it was out of control, the seagull worth 3 million Cr triggered the self-destruction program and glided towards the preset escape coordinates.

3 million.

And it’s Cr.

Funds are really burning this time.

It was not just the remains of the seagulls that lit up the sky, but also the tracers rising upwards, intertwining into a web of fire in the sky.

Looking at the night sky lit up by anti-aircraft fire outside the window, Fang Chang immediately felt something bad and shouted into the headset.

"Old Bai...what's going on over there?"

There was a buzzing sound coming from the communication channel, and the noisy gunshots and wind sounds showed the fierceness of the battle.

"We were driven away by anti-aircraft fire! We can't get close to the center of the settlement... You have to hold on for a while longer!"

Although the flexible and maneuverable "Viper" would not be knocked down by several quadruple anti-aircraft guns, it was unable to smoothly switch to vertical take-off and landing mode to decelerate and land under the harassment of anti-aircraft firepower.

"...There are people approaching outside!" Luo Yu, who was holding a rifle at the window, shouted nervously, "Zhuo! It seems there are quite a few!"

Almost at the same time, Lao Bai's voice continued to come from the communication channel.

"A large number of targets are approaching you...be careful! Those people feel something is wrong!"

"Ready to fight!"

Fang Chang quickly approached the window and placed the rifle on the window sill. At the same time, he waved to the A and B teams to go to the second floor.

The deployment of the defense is complete.

With a slight gasp, he gritted his teeth and continued.

"Approximately...how many people?"

Lao Bai said in a deep voice.

"I don't see very clearly here, but if I read it correctly... the number must be at least tens of thousands!"

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.

"Thousands?!"

Common sense and instinct told him that Lao Bai was probably wrong.

However, an affirmative answer came from the communication channel.

"Yes, I'm afraid only tens of thousands is a bit conservative... The heads of the entire settlement are moving in your direction!"

Fang Chang: "???"

I blanch? !
