Chapter 178: Abandoned City Ghost

As the door opened, Li Yelai saw a room filled with smoke and full of wine bottles.

In the room, there were four men and four disheveled women.

"Uh, are you busy?" Li Yelai paused and said, "Do you have time?"

"Brother, why are you here?" Xu Shi stood up enthusiastically, nodding and bowing. His speed of changing his face was beyond comparison.

He quickly made way for Li Yelai to enter the room and sit down.

He was obviously in his thirties, but he called a young man in his early twenties "brother".

The contrast between the before and after made the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce look strange.

But they did not dare to complain, but instead showed friendly smiles as much as possible.

Some handed cigarettes, some handed fire, some opened wine, and some asked the tavern to send a few more girls.

But when they saw the little mad king next to Li Yelai, they decisively changed their words and asked the women in the room to leave.

In short, they were as friendly as if they had seen their own brother.

They had also seen this young man.

This is an employee from the antique shop in Dongcheng. He is also an official, and a ruthless person who specializes in dealing with that kind of things!

It is a more powerful and violent organization than the Guard Bureau and the City Defense Army. In their eyes, this kind of person is similar to the Iron Guard.

At that time, he knocked down several illegal psychics of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce with a halberd.

They were all present, and several of them were controlled by the ability of "Ange" and forced to attack him. If it weren't for Li Yelai's kindness, they would have died long ago.

And when this kind of ruthless person comes to the wilderness, the danger is even more terrible. There is no order in the wilderness, and people often speak with fists.

And the fists of psychics are often the biggest. They have experienced it.

Even if he attacks everyone now, they are powerless to respond.

In this case, let alone calling him brother, calling him grandpa is fine!

And Xu Shi's heart is bitter, and his experience can be said to be twists and turns.

Last time they accidentally came into contact with the greedy gold coins, and then "Ange" used his ability to control the members of the Chamber of Commerce to attack Li Yelai.

This directly angered the authorities, who severely punished them and arrested the illegally hired wild psychics.

If the Chamber of Commerce had not helped the giant city transport food, and the culprit was that Ang, the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce would probably not exist.

But the Chamber of Commerce has never recovered since then, and after the No. 71 disaster fog incident, the authorities needed a large number of chambers of commerce to transport supplies.

The Red Dart Chamber of Commerce also took advantage of the east wind and slowly recovered. And secretly hired wild psychics in the wilderness, and started to take some dangerous but high-reward trade routes again.

It seemed that it was finally getting better.

However, this time the transportation encountered problems again, and two wild psychics were converted. The trade route could not be used in a short time.

Xu Shi had to go back and find a tavern in a gathering place, drink some wine, and say some harsh words.

As a result, before he finished his harsh words, the real owner came.

Fortunately, fortunately, the half sentence just now was not said.

Xu Shi was thankful in his heart.

At this time, he noticed the little mad king behind Li Yelai.

The indifferent look of the Little King of Madness made Xu Shi feel frightened. It was as if his little thoughts were seen through. He was so scared that his smile was a little stiff.

"This is my teammate." Li Yelai introduced him and continued: "Okay, Boss Xu Shi, don't call me brother, I should be younger than you. Just call me by my code name, give us a quiet environment, I heard that you are in some trouble."

"Okay!" Xu Shi was stunned, and then nodded repeatedly with some surprise.

He knew Li Yelai's identity and strength. If Li Yelai came forward.

They might be able to solve the trouble and continue transportation.

Seeing that the people of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce were so polite, the Little King of Madness said thoughtfully: "It seems that your relationship is not bad."

Li Yelai thought that if he knocked down a group of them and arrested their psychics, it would be a good thing.

"No fight, no acquaintance, no fight, no acquaintance." Xu Shi explained with a smile.

Soon, everyone changed to a clean box again.

After seeing Li Yelai and Little King Kuang sitting down, Xu Shi rubbed his hands and told him about the dilemma he was facing.

The scale of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce's convoy this time is not small, with ten large trucks and twenty-three off-road vehicles.

More than eighty people, most of whom are experienced scavengers, with guns, pistols and even rifles.

In a certain gathering place, two wild psychics were hired at a high price.

This scale and firepower are enough for them to run rampant in the wilderness.

The dangers in the wilderness often come from bandits, wild beasts, or some weird things.

Needless to say, the bandits, with the firepower of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce, it is still unknown who will eat whom.

The same is true for wild beasts. Wild beasts can only pose a threat to scavengers who act alone and have no equipment. In front of guns, whether you are a big brown bear or a Siberian tiger, you are a meal of meat.

This is also the reason why the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce dares to accept long-distance business orders.

In the world after the disaster, due to the gap in technology, communication between giant cities is very difficult.

People in the same city circle can still contact each other, but people in different city circles are difficult to contact.

The harsh environment and the radiation range of the forbidden area make it very risky for people from different city circles to travel.

The major disaster forbidden areas are spread over the vast land, and the forbidden creatures and extraordinary creatures in them will also move around nearby. Humans who approach them often never return.

Over time, humans have explored relatively safe trade routes.

But it is just safer. As many caravans are walking, they find that there are fewer or more people in the group.

When I woke up the next day, there were many cases of mysterious disappearances of the entire caravan. Weird and dangerous.

But the benefits of long-distance business are huge. For example, Yaoqing Jucheng's specialty white camellia is very popular in Border City No. 3.

The marrow fuel of the lava mining city is a military resource that every giant city is willing to purchase in large quantities. It is also an exclusive substance for official caravans.

This time, the Red Guard Chamber of Commerce first purchased a large amount of special products in the border city city circle, and then planned to go to the city circle where Bashu Giant City and Shuchuan Giant City are located to dump them, and then purchase materials in the local giant city and return to the border city.

If the round trip is successful, the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce will have dozens of times the profit. This is an unimaginable huge profit!

We might be able to make some extra money on the way. Of course, in front of officials like Li Yelai and Xiao Kuang Wang, they muttered for a long time before saying that in some giant cities, special things would be purchased at high prices.

Including but not limited to forbidden objects, extraordinary creatures, psychic weapons, strange substances, etc.

These are occasionally encountered in abandoned cities or dangerous wilderness.

An unlucky caravan accidentally obtained the old skin of an extraordinary creature and sold it at a high price in the giant city.

In fact, there are a small number of taboo items that were discovered by scavengers or caravans in the wild. They are really good at picking things up.

"If you encounter something like this, notify the nearest giant city as soon as possible. You should also be aware of the dangers of forbidden objects." Li Yelai clicked his tongue.

"What you said is true, and we understand it deeply." Xu Shi felt miserable. He should have handed over the greedy gold coins directly to the officials at that time, and he could have received good compensation, and maybe even been able to get on the line with the officials. But greed destroys all possibilities

But this time, it was also a bad start.

Just a few days after the Hongjiang Chamber of Commerce set out, they ran into trouble.

Their route required passing through an abandoned large city about twenty kilometers away from this gathering place.

This city was once very prosperous. Before the disaster, it was one of the largest cities in the world. Books say this city is called a food desert.

However, it has really turned into a desert now, and only the ruins and ruins are engraved with the glory of mankind.

The city was divided by rivers, and the majestic bridges across the rivers had been destroyed in the Age of Chaos.

But people found a path around the river. It is also one of the roads leading to the outer giant city circle. If you go around, it will take a long way.

But there is a strange existence in the abandoned city.

"Originally, there were three off-road vehicles leading the way in front of our caravan, and the two psykers were among them. The trucks followed. The other off-road vehicles were patrolling around." A caravan member who had witnessed the strange incident said. : "If there is a problem ahead, the off-road vehicle guards will issue a warning."

Li Yelai nodded slightly, there was no problem. Sentinel. Psykers' perceptions are sharper and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, so it is right to open a way.

"It's a pity that even with this arrangement, we still encountered danger when passing through the roads in the city." The caravan member took a deep breath of cigarette and said: "They are all missing, and they can't even make a sound. The alarm was raised, and no gun was fired. We continued to move forward without knowing anything, and then we were attacked on the riverside. I was sitting on the third truck, and when I looked up, I saw that the two trucks in front were suddenly dragged into the river by something. "

"Did you see the other person's appearance at the scene?" Little Mad King asked.

"No, it was too dark. I only had time to see the spray of the truck hitting the river." The caravan crew paused and seemed a little scared: "Then the river rolled and someone screamed, but the sound quickly disappeared. Then something crawled out of the river and started chasing us."

This made Li Yelai a little moved. The two psychics were opening the way in front, but they couldn't fight back. They couldn't even remind the people behind?

"What level are the wild psykers you hired?" Li Yelai asked.

"We don't really understand. But I heard that they only became psykers for about three months, and they were awakened during the insect swarm incident." Xu Shi said, "But I feel that their combat power is not as good as Scar. You I’ve seen Scar.”

Scar, oh~~ The scar girl who used the flail at that time was from Erjue and had combat experience.

Li Yelai nodded: "It was probably the first sleep or the breakthrough to the second sleep. He is quite courageous and dares to break through rashly."

"You are also lucky. If they are distorted, you will be the first to suffer." Li Yelai said to Xu Shi.

The average wild psyker has no way to obtain stabilizers or potions. Without the experience and teachings of our predecessors, it is extremely easy for distortions to occur.

Officials monitor wild psychics because they may become victims. Then there will be no need for monsters to take action, and the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce will have to suffer.

Xu Shi could only nod. The caravan member continued: "I reacted quickly and reversed the car crazily. My companions also unleashed their firepower on the monster, but it seemed to have no effect. When we were about to be overtaken, we jumped out of the car and headed towards the alley of the ruins. Only then did he escape the pursuit."

Li Yelai nodded silently, this was indeed the best choice. If the opponent is too big, it will be difficult for him to get into the alley.

"Then, we immediately changed lanes. After all, there are still many roads in the city, although they are more difficult to drive." Another caravan member said: "We were far away from the river, but when we passed a street, we heard gunshots coming from the back. Then there was no sound at all, and the battle was over soon. We knew that the situation was not right, so we immediately fled the city and returned here."

"Is the range of activities within the city?" Li Yelai thought.

"It should be. We lost five trucks, seven off-road vehicles, twenty-six brothers, and two psychics." Xu Shi was a little bitter.

The other senior executives also sighed. Even if they were scavengers, they were not very good. But they were also companions who worked hard to make money together. They were not comfortable with such an unclear death.

Moreover, their business road was blocked. If they could not pass quickly, they were worried that they would lose all their money. The rest of the people would not have a good time later.

Li Yelai looked at the little mad king, and the little mad king responded after thinking: "It is not sure what it is at present, nor the number of opponents. I even suspect that the first and second attacks came from two different enemies."

In the worst case, there are two enemies hiding in the abandoned city.

"It's a bit troublesome to hide." Little Crazy King looked at Li Yelai: "But, if you are here, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Li Yelai nodded. This kind of elusive thing is most suitable for encountering a strong enemy.

"Are we meddling in other people's business?" Li Yelai asked.

"We are Ye Bushu, so how can we be called meddling in other people's business?" Little Crazy King replied calmly: "Don't worry about the mission time. I set out early because I thought this might happen. By the way, hone your fighting skills."

Li Yelai smiled silently.

In fact, even if Li Yelai and others did not take action, this monster would not live long.

You must know that the martial virtues of the border city are abundant, and the Ye Bushu are all moving in the wilderness.

There will always be Ye Bushu passing by here. Once they find this monster, they will deal with it.

In fact, if they send someone back to the giant city to report, the official will also send a team out.

It's just that because what they did was not very good, they subconsciously dare not contact the official.

"Okay, Boss Xu Shi. Get your people moving and get ready to go." Li Yelai said.

"This" Xu Shi's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "I will definitely give you two enough compensation. But what do we need to help?"

Li Yelai thought for a moment and said: "Stay away from me when the time comes. Otherwise, you may be struck by lightning."

"Ah?" (End of this chapter)
