Chapter 382 Rusty City Strange Stories

The locked top floor looked like a mottled prison cell.

The sudden reversal of the situation made several buyers in black stand there in a daze. They vaguely realized that the seemingly fragile and beautiful young man in front of them was the real hunter...

After all, looks can be deceiving, and a monster carrying a giant cross doesn't lie.

As ordinary people, the purchasers did not need the intervention of the Virgin Immaculate. Just the group of holy children emitting the bright white light were enough to scare everyone to the point that their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

Xu Zhiyan had no interest in bullying ordinary NPCs, but these six buyers obviously knew better.

In an instant, except for the tall middle-aged man, the remaining five people were all stripped of their outer clothes, tied up and thrown to the ground.

"Clothes...leave the clothes behind!"

“Ahhhhh no!”

"Please don't touch my clothes, don't! Don't move!!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong... At least leave a pair of pants for me! Don't tear them up!"

When the Immaculate Virgin appeared, they did not scream so miserably, but when their clothes were stripped off, they screamed like pigs being slaughtered.

Even the tall middle-aged man staggered twice, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground with a pale face.

Xu Zhiyan had a lot of low-level monsters at his disposal, and the entire space instantly became like a monster paradise. A few sensible monsters took out chairs from their backpacks, and then took off the clothes and tops from several people and put them on their masters.

The audience in the live broadcast room were happy to see this, or in other words, no matter whether it was Xu Zhiyan or the NPC who was unlucky, everyone liked to watch it.

[Hahahaha, these NPCs are really bold. ]

[It's so funny that they want to make a small million]

[Xiao Baiwan really made me cry. He actually left underwear for these NPCs! ]

[Because underwear is not something that can prevent contamination, if it were, he would definitely not let it go. ]

[I second the motion! Is that bandit Xu called for nothing? ]

"Hmm? As expected, the rust stains won't spread if I put on clothes." Xu Zhiyan looked at the hem of his clothes in surprise.

After he came in, rust spots began to appear on the hem of his clothes, and the feeling was exactly the same as in the cafeteria.

In contrast, the NPCs who were stripped naked were writhing on the ground, and the edges of the remaining clothes on their bodies began to slowly grow rust spots...

As usual, Xiao Cu Gu slapped Qi Shanren a few times, and finally woke him up.

"Boss Xu! I just made eye contact with them just now, and I was controlled. My hands and feet were completely out of control..." The inescapable restraints seemed to be still there, and Qi Shanren was sweating profusely while holding his coat.

Hearing this, Xiao Ke Gu turned over Qi Shanren's own clothes.

The inside of the hem of the gray security uniform is covered with dense rust patterns, and no one knows when these marks appeared.

Seeing Qi Shanren's silly look, Xu Zhiyan reached out and turned over the hem of his clothes, which was clean and empty.

Combining the words of several buyers, he already understood the whole story.

“It seems that if you leave the factory, you will be contaminated.”

He couldn't leave at night because of the rules note, and all the goods were transported by Qi Shanren. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party was contaminated at that time.

Combined with the information obtained from Jinsheng, it is not difficult to judge that this copy is completely different from other rule-based copies.

Only areas covered by the rules are safe.

And for some reason, the factory area is very special. There are almost no NPCs in the other places where players are deployed. Only in the factory area are there more people, not only old employees, but also new people coming in from time to time.

The monsters blocked the other five screaming mouths and threw them into the corner of the room. The only thing left in front of Xu Zhiyan was the tall middle-aged man.

"What's your name? I have something to ask you, can you cooperate with me?"

Xu Zhiyan spoke softly and smiled harmlessly, but the man opposite her began to tremble all over.

"I... my name is Zhao Ming, you can just call me Lao Zhao." The man said tremblingly.

In his eyes, the young man in front of him did not look weak at all. Even the evil spirits in hell were not as terrifying as him!

Although he thought so in his heart, Lao Zhao did not dare to show it on his face.

He is the raw material purchaser of the factory, but he was only transferred here in the last six months. Before that he had been working in the packaging workshop.

Glancing at his companion who was thrown into the corner and already beginning to be contaminated, Lao Zhao was very tactful. He swallowed his saliva and continued, "We are usually responsible for... our responsibility is to find raw materials in the factory area."

As he spoke, he took out a work ID from his pocket, and in the interlayer of the ID was the standard manual for raw material buyers.

[Congratulations on becoming a raw material buyer. This is the safest position in our factory. Please take advantage of it.]

[Please be sure to work according to the following rules and remember not to take any chances.]

The first sentence of the manual gives enough information: the buyers wearing black uniforms are the safest in the factory.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but think of Xinan.

In Jin Sheng’s previous report, Xinan walked into the traffic brigade from the darkness, wearing a black cloak.

Is black a safe color?

But by then, the hem of the black cloak had also started to rust...

He suppressed his doubts and continued reading.

[When you join the company, you need to prove to your supervisor that you are a local employee of Rust City.]

[Office hours are from midnight to dawn. Please do not move raw materials without permission after the sun rises.]

[As long as each person completes 100 credits per month, they can get a bonus.]

[The details of raw material procurement must not be disclosed to anyone other than the purchaser, otherwise severe penalties will be imposed.]

[The raw materials will be distributed in every corner of the factory.]

[When you receive raw material information from the workshop supervisor, please remember to carefully identify the quality of the raw materials.]

[Appearance of raw materials...]

There are several pictures printed on the back, with the name and grade points marked under each raw material, and each one comes with notes.

The first thing that comes into view is the columns made of special materials in the corridor.

Overripe raw materials

GPA: 1

Overripe raw materials are better than nothing, so remember to disassemble them when you send them to the workshop.

When he saw the second one, Xu Zhiyan frowned tightly. This picture made his throat choke, as if there was a breath stuck in his throat.

The picture shows a man squatting on the ground with his knees hugged. You can see that there are a lot of rust spots on his clothes and he can hardly move. The size... is similar to the previous over-ripe raw materials.

Ordinary raw materials.

GPA: 5

Stiff material, contaminated for too long, but still quite active.

The third picture looks somewhat familiar.

The picture shows a person with rust spots all over his clothes and his face covered in black mist, leaving only two eyes. It is exactly the rust monster they saw in the workshop before.

High quality raw materials

GPA: 20

The flexible material, just soaked with pollution, is very active, but it is difficult to grasp.

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and glanced coldly at the last picture.

Perfect raw materials

GPA: 50

The newly contaminated materials are no different from humans. You must be careful when capturing them and not confuse them with ordinary people. The specific way to identify them is to look them in the eye. They cannot disobey the orders of the purchaser.

It is not recommended to capture them. If you capture more than three at a time, you must report to the factory manager.

The perfect raw material is actually the humans who have just been contaminated...

The picture of perfect raw materials seems to have been posted recently and is very new compared to the previous pictures.

In the extremely silent space, Lao Zhao gasped, as if he couldn't bear the pressure. Finally, he swallowed his saliva and spoke: "Finish... The perfect raw materials were just added a few months ago."

Capturing living people can make more money than picking up stones, so this group of buyers will definitely choose to capture living people. Now, hasn't this led to the means of actively bringing living people into the environment for pollution?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but recall the general rules for ordinary employees, one of which was to try not to leave the dormitory after lights out.

The cleanliness of the clothes can ensure safety...

Unexpectedly, this group of buyers are the ones that need to be carefully avoided according to the employee rules.

"Is it because there are too many people in the factory?" Apart from this, Xu Zhiyan could not think of any other reason for the factory to customize such rules.

Old Zhao shook his head, looking confused.

"I, I don't know... Actually, we said in the meeting that we can't, we can't capture living people who haven't been contaminated."

There was a flattering look in his eyes, and he said timidly: "So just now I wanted to speak up to stop them from arresting you."

When the two men talked to this point, the short and thin man in the corner finally spit out the rag in his mouth, yelling and cursing: "Bullshit! You are just...ah, okay, I'll tell you something else, I know! I know more than him! If you let me go, I'll tell you everything...No, no, no, I'll tell you now, I'll tell you!"

He has a higher position and more experience than Lao Zhao, and knows more. But because he is afraid of being killed, he spills all the beans out like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

"In the past, there were a lot of raw materials, and we could easily complete the task. We could pick up dozens of them a night, but I don't know when these piles started to decrease... Now there are only a few every day."

There is no performance and no bonus.

"I had no choice but to do it to a living person!" He cried, as if he was really forced to do such a bad thing.

However, being stared at by the silent Xu Zhiyan, the man quickly quieted down and dared not act anymore.

After a while, Xu Zhiyan stood up and signaled the monsters to put away the stools.

The five people who were tied up suddenly panicked.

"Please, please don't kill us!"

"Male Bodhisattva, you look kind-hearted. I really don't want to die..."

"Help me, Lao Zhao, please help me. Please try to persuade him!"

“…”

Several people cried and wailed, trying to get a chance to survive.

After Xu Zhiyan changed into the purchasing agent's clothes, he squatted down, stretched out his hand with a smile, and patted the shoulders of several people on the ground with a very gentle tone.

"I am a kind person and I never kill innocent people."

Just as they showed a relaxed expression, they heard him continue: "But whether you can survive depends on your comrades' friendship."

After saying that, he stood up and spoke to Lao Zhao.

"Five people, each worth 50 credits. If you help me out, I'll let you do whatever you want with these people's lives."

Xu Zhiyan's words were like the devil's whisper, completely dividing the six people into two camps.

"Although they all saw you telling me about the buyer's matter, you two are good friends, right? They will definitely not report you." He hinted at something.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The already disharmonious relationship among the six people was as taut as a guitar string.

Xu Zhiyan took Qi Shanren away from the top floor at this time. Before leaving, he turned to Lao Zhao and said, "I'll go to the office downstairs and wait for news. If you are sure, I will help you inform the factory director. This performance will be yours. You should know how to shut them up, right?"

"Bang--"

The door closed and locked again.

After getting a new identity, Xu Zhiyan restrained his smile and walked towards the office downstairs in the dark.

Qi Shanren leaned over and spoke cautiously.

"Boss Xu, why don't you just kill these people? Is it really okay to just leave them alone? Will we be exposed?"

"No." Xu Zhiyan replied calmly.

Old Zhao is not a good person to begin with. If he were really a great and glorious person, he would not be able to stay here.

"Do you think he didn't want to arrest us? He's a newcomer who is being ostracized. He's afraid that if others arrest us, he won't get any benefits, so he spoke out to stop them."

The two of them were not real purchasers. If they hastily handed over other contaminated purchasers, there would be too much trouble in the middle and it would be easy to be exposed. However, if they just got rid of them, they would not be able to lure the factory manager. It would be better to find experienced veterans to do it. This would also allow this group of people to feel the fear of those people they killed before they died.

Lao Zhao will definitely choose to take the GPA, even if it is just to avoid being reported by the other five people, he will definitely do so.

According to the rules, if more than three perfect raw materials are seized, the factory manager must be notified.

"Get ready. Let's not catch those rusty monsters. Let's just catch the factory director." Xu Zhiyan immediately changed his target.
