Chapter 43 Dungeon
A pair of daggers flipped flexibly in Gu Nian's hands and attacked the cold woman continuously. The cold woman was caught off guard and was soon defeated.
Gu Nian unloaded her weapons, tied her hands, and carried her into the hut. She did not forget to search the bodies of the two men and take away everything. As for the bodies, she dragged them to a hidden place - in the chaotic West District, many more bodies were found every day.
Tu Jing was kneeling on the ground with her hands tied behind her back. Opposite her stood a beautiful young woman, who was the one who defeated her. Next to this young woman stood a snow-white ferocious fox as tall as a man. Tu Jing trembled in her heart when she saw the fox. The two companions who went on the mission together this time died at the hands of this ferocious fox.
After the natural disaster, some domestic pets also became mutants and continued to follow their owners. Tu Jing thought to herself that this person and beast she met now might be in the same situation. However, she had never seen a mutant as powerful as this snow-white fox. Such a powerful mutant could only be seen in the deepest part of the wilderness!
And the young woman was equally strong. Tu Jing considered herself to be above average among wilderness hunters, but she was also subdued by this woman. If she wanted to survive, she could only hope that she would let her go. Realizing that she had no power to resist, Tu Jing chose to cooperate. She explained the situation to Gu Nian in detail.
Gu Nian fell into deep thought. According to the woman named Tu Jing, the three of them were just wilderness hunters who often took on mercenary jobs. This time, it was the bearded man who took on the mission and asked Tu Jing and the colorful-haired man to complete it together. The mission was to capture Gu Nian alive. As for the person who issued the mission, Tu Jing had no idea, and only the bearded man might know.
It seems that I have to investigate the situation behind the bearded man, Gu Nian thought. However, there was still one thing that needed to be dealt with, so she began to look Tu Jing up and down.
At first, Tu Jing felt relieved when she saw that the other party was thinking and did not come up to kill her directly. But when she saw the look in Gu Nian's eyes, what else did she not understand? Tu Jing quickly said, "I know the address of the bearded man, and I also know some of his friends. If you want to check, I can help. I am not bad at fighting. Keeping me will be more useful than killing me. I can help. I can do anything you want me to do!"
Seeing that the other party was desperately trying to survive, what he said made sense. Gu Nian couldn't help but hesitate. She simply knocked Tu Jing unconscious with a knife.
The nine-tailed fox pointed at Tu Jing who was lying on the ground and said, "Aren't you going to kill me?" According to the fox clan's vengeance, anyone who tries to hurt them will die.
Gu Nian began to have a headache. The other two men were already dead, which was easy to deal with, but what about Tu Jing? It was difficult for Gu Nian to kill a living person directly, but letting him go was not a solution either.
The nine-tailed fox misunderstood her meaning. "You want her to be your slave? Well, she is the loser. If she surrenders, you can make her your slave. After all, you don't have a single slave under your command."
Slave? Gu Nian was stunned. She suddenly thought of the prescription in the kitchen.
The two-star recipes in the kitchen had long been bought out by Gu Nian, and the three-star recipes were automatically updated. And the newly updated three-star recipe contained a poison.
Mother and child poison: A furnace of pills comes in two types, red and white. The red one is the child pill. If one fails to take the mother pill within seven days after taking it, the poison will cause death.
Gu Nian suddenly understood how to use this medicine. After all, this woman had intended to harm him, so keeping her to work for him was not a bad idea.
However, the biggest surprise this time was the nine-tailed fox. Gu Nian had never thought that the nine-tailed fox would be so powerful. The nine-tailed fox was swift, like an assassin walking in the dark, and its jumping ability was extremely amazing. Its speed when it attacked with all its strength was like a flying bird, and its strength was brutal and terrifying. Gu Nian had no doubt that even in the wilderness, the nine-tailed fox was the top king of wild beasts.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Nian couldn't help but think again, what exactly is the space in his hand? And what kind of creatures are the lotus and the nine-tailed fox that can come to the real world?
But there was something urgent going on. Although the fight just now was brief, it had probably already attracted attention. There were no secrets in such a densely populated area. Gu Nian had to move again. She carried the unconscious Tu Jing, quickly went out the back door, got into the car, and left with the nine-tailed fox.
She had to move somewhere else.
This time, Gu Nian came to the underground city.
In recent days, the temperature has continued to rise, and the residential area on the first floor of the underground city has begun to open to the public. However, the high price of residential properties is still prohibitive for ordinary people. Even some wealthy families with thousands of kilograms of rice can only afford capsule rooms here.
The so-called capsule room is a room of only two square meters with a narrow single bed, a table on the bed, and a small cupboard at the end of the bed. The toilet, bathroom, kitchen and other places are all shared. For water, gas and electricity, you need to buy a card with credit points and insert it into the meter before you can use it.
Such capsule rooms are already the envy of everyone. The reason is that the temperature in such underground capsule rooms is controlled at around 30 degrees, and with a small electric fan, it is at least enough to survive. Compared with the 50-degree high temperature on the ground in Jiangcheng, it is already considered comfortable.
Moreover, if the temperature continues to rise, I'm afraid the only way to save my life is to live in the underground city.
The wealthy people in Jiangcheng generally buy single rooms. The so-called single rooms are rooms ranging from five to ten square meters. In the underground city, the government strictly limits people's living area. Without special contributions, no matter how rich you are, each person can only have ten square meters of living area.
It is also because of this that many wealthy people can only buy a ten-square-meter residence here.
Capsule rooms and single rooms are stacked one after another in the underground city, and the high-rise buildings formed are called beehives.
Gu Nian pulled down the brim of her hat, put on a mask, wrapped herself tightly, and drove into the car. She passed through one beehive after another until a large and spacious area appeared behind the beehives. Here was the villa area demarcated from the underground city.
The security guard at the villa area in the underground city said to her, "Please show me your ID card."
Gu Nian handed him a black card, and the security guard motioned for her to enter.
During the rat hunting operation, Gu Nian once spent a high amount of contribution points in exchange for a villa property in the underground city, and the clerk at that time gave Gu Nian a room card, which was also the key to the villa to be repaired in the future.
However, the villa area was not completed and opened until recently. Before Gu Nian had time to move in, the scarred man’s raid happened soon. At first, Gu Nian subconsciously chose to go to the West District to hide. After all, the villa in the underground city was her last residence. If it was destroyed in the attack, Gu Nian would suffer heavy losses. However, today's attack made Gu Nian see the strength of the nine-tailed fox. With the nine-tailed fox and herself joining forces, the attack of a small team is useless. Gu Nian does not have to fight alone. If an arson incident like the last time happens again, she and the nine-tailed fox are enough to defeat the enemy and put out the fire. And she can be found even if she lives in the West District, so she might as well live directly in the villa area.
It was also because of this that Gu Nian decided not to put herself in a difficult position anymore and moved directly into the new villa.
