Chapter 78 The Underworld
◎Today's recruitment session is for the underworld◎
However, Qin Shu's gaze only stayed on this heroic spirit for a moment, and soon shifted to his hands.
It's not her fault, because the thing held in the hand of this heroic spirit is actually a big furry fox.
Because its neck was stuck, the fox couldn't make a sound. Its pair of dark eyes stared at the heroic spirit that caught it, as if it wanted to carve the other party's appearance into its bones. However, after its gaze fell on Qin Shu, it was only anxious, as if it couldn't wait to speak human words in the next second.
Ah, could it be that——
"Wait a minute, this seems to be our friend." Qin Shu looked at those eyes and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Upon hearing this, Yingling slightly loosened his grip on the fox.
Sure enough, the next second, the fox uttered a voice that Qin Shu was familiar with: "Boss, it's me. This is my fox original form."
It was indeed the voice of the old fox that Qin Shu had sent out to ask him to take revenge on Jeffrey.
"Yes, it's a companion." Qin Shu said quickly.
Although Ying Ling was a little surprised that the fox could actually speak, he still put the fox down and apologized very politely: "Sorry, I thought someone was going to hurt the girl."
The fox was a bit petty at first, but when he saw the man's prompt and sincere apology, coupled with his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, he stopped caring: "No problem."
"Is it convenient to talk here?" Qin Shu remained alert.
Upon hearing this, the fox quickly said, "Follow me first."
After saying that, the fox took two steps forward, but was blocked by dead grass. In addition, the wind was blowing, so it was difficult to tell which bushes were moving because of the fox's actions.
"Excuse me." Finally, the newly recruited Heroic Spirit picked up Fox and held Qin Shu with one hand, then said, "Please give me the direction."
After the fox pointed out the specific direction and location, Qin Shu felt that she was being carried away and flying.
Could this be——
The legendary Qinggong! ?
The sound of wind passed by my ears, and the surrounding scenery kept receding, turning into lines of different colors.
"We're here." It wasn't until the fox's voice sounded again that all the surrounding scenes and sounds returned.
They had now left the meadow and arrived at a wooded area halfway up a mountain. The fox, familiar with the route, led them into a hidden cave. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief, "My illusion protects us here, so we haven't been discovered yet. Let's talk about anything here."
Qin Shu nodded: "Okay."
"By the way, what is this little brother's name?" the fox asked.
Upon hearing this, the red-robed knight clasped his fists towards Qin Shu and Fox and said, "I am Zhan Zhao, responsible for protecting the young lady's safety."
Zhan Zhao!
Show the guard!!
She knew this person. She never expected that her recruitment would attract such a big shot. When she heard those stories as a child, she admired Guard Zhan's loyalty and courage very much. Now she actually saw the real person.
If the occasion wasn't wrong, Qin Shu would have liked to chat for a few more minutes.
The fox nodded when he heard this, but he didn't want to discuss the issue in depth. "Well, you can call me Lao Hu."
"Okay, Mr. Hu Ba." Zhan Zhao responded seriously.
Old Hu: “?”
Qin Shu lowered her head and tried to hold back the laughter that she almost couldn't hold back. Zhan Zhao looked so serious, yet he was doing things that he didn't even realize were cute. It was really hard not to laugh.
The fox was too lazy to argue and got straight to the point: "Boss, you're here now, you already know the emergency situation here, right?"
Qin Shu also got into the state in a second: "It's said that there was an epidemic outbreak. The mortality rate was not high originally, but today, the first group of people infected suddenly died in large numbers. Do you know what happened? And why are you out like this?"
Fox's eyes were more serious than ever. "This Arkansas epidemic was caused by that madman Jeffrey. He used the entire planet as a testing ground for his so-called experiments. When the virus first spread, although it was highly contagious, it only caused blisters, itchy skin, and high fever. It wasn't fatal. The sporadic deaths were caused by other complications from the virus."
Fox had obviously investigated everything here, otherwise he wouldn't have mastered so many professional terms that were not related to his era.
"Now there's a mutation. What did Jeffrey do?"
The fox shook his head when he heard this: "Because he didn't do anything."
Qin Shu didn't understand what the fox meant: "What do you mean?"
"I told you he was using the entire planet of Arkansas as his testing ground. After he released the virus, he wouldn't intervene anymore, only recording the data and letting the virus mutate on its own. But he never imagined that after so long, the strains that had mutated had become so out of his control. The drugs he originally developed to treat the virus were becoming less and less effective. Even people in his own research institute were infected with the new virus and couldn't get treatment. He sensed that things were not going well, so he released a drug on the market that he claimed could cure the disease, but in fact, everyone who drank it died. He might be trying to silence everyone, and he was planning to leave Arkansas tomorrow morning!"
Qin Shu never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this!
What a ridiculous and absurd answer.
Arkansas has actually fallen into this situation for such a reason. Tens of thousands of people are dying, millions are suffering from the virus, the medical system has collapsed, and the communication system has collapsed long ago. Not only can everyone not escape from this planet, but Charlie's robot was also on the star network leading the rhythm within Arkansas, making everyone hate and blame each other.
And such a purgatory on earth is just a "toy" that someone can discard at any time.
Although the epidemic is currently under control on Arkon, no one can guarantee that their own planet is safe. After all, if this madman can destroy Arkon like this, he can destroy other planets.
"We can't let him leave like this." Qin Shu took a deep breath and spoke.
"Well, I couldn't steal the information about the virus or the medicine he developed to treat it. I don't know where he's hiding it. I've searched the entire experimental base and can't find it." The fox said, stomping on the ground with a paw in anger. "In fact, before things got to this point, I went against my original intention and killed him twice. Both times, he was lying in a pool of blood, but the next day, I saw him jumping around in the experimental base!"
Qin Shu: “!!!”
Even Zhan Zhao, who had been silent all this time, subconsciously raised his head.
The fox slammed its paw on the ground again. "Besides, we animals have a very keen sense of smell, so I can be sure that the person I see every time is this Jeffrey!"
"Is there anything unusual after he came back to life?" Qin Shu asked.
Because in a sense, she is also a person who has come back from the dead.
"He'll forget what happened the day before, so he won't know I killed him." The fox replied seriously, "Oh, there's one more thing!"
"What's up?"
"I ran out like this today because Jeffrey hurriedly left the research base after receiving a call. You know, he usually stays in the base all the time, so I couldn't figure out what happened that made him leave there on his own initiative. So I followed him out. My intuition tells me that it must not be a good thing, but..."
"You lost them?" Qin Shu guessed. After all, she didn't see any other people nearby. Especially when the extremely vigilant Zhan Zhao didn't notice any other movements, it only meant that at least there was no one nearby where they were at the time.
"Yes, I looked around and then I smelled your scent on the wind, so I came to find you."
"Did you hear what was said on that communication?"
The fox shook his furry little head: "I couldn't hear it."
"Let's go to the research base first." Since we can't find where Jeffrey went, at least we can look for any useful clues in the base.
"Okay, but boss... you're too conspicuous." The base is heavily guarded and has surveillance cameras everywhere. If Qin Shu goes in like this, she will be discovered soon.
Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered that she came here alone this time, and Hei Wuchang was not with her.
But that’s okay, she can recruit on the spot!
This time, Qin Shu directly opened a special event for the underworld and recruited one hundred civil servants for the underworld.
I thought it would take some time to recruit at least 100 people, but it turned out to be full very quickly.
In addition to Lord Bai Wuchang, who Qin Shu recognized at a glance as having a similar appearance to Black Wuchang, there were actually some strange-looking people, uh, ghosts?
For example, the man with green hair, fly eyes and wings, and a thin tail swinging impatiently behind him.
Who is this from the underworld?
Qin Shu didn't react for a moment.
Until that person suddenly said, "Hey, why are there still people here who are not from our hell?"
Bai Wuchang smiled and glanced at the other person: "Ah, what a big fly."
When Qin Shu saw this situation, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten to limit the region in the recruitment announcement. So, did people from the underworld all over the world come?
Could the one who looks like a fly be the famous demon Beelzebub?
Qin Shu silently looked away, because this person's appearance was... not very good-looking.
Qin Shu quickly flipped through the resumes of her employees and confirmed that these heroes came from different underworld systems. The green-haired man was indeed Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies. Besides him and Bai Wuchang, who were relatively well-known, there was another particularly famous hero -
I saw that her hair was gray, she was holding a cane with a green lamp hanging on it in one hand, and a cup of hot tea in the other.
