Chapter 167: Crystal Core Exchange for Weapons
Lan Shiruo understood. Lao Huang's profession inherently required a stronger willpower than the average person, and with his intense concentration, it was normal for him to be useless. "Kill him."
Old Huang was not afraid, he laughed wildly while spitting blood, "If I die, you will not be able to live, none of you will live, you will all die, you will all die, hahahaha"
Lan Shiruo, disgusted by his smile, struck him dead with a single blow. "Take him and go find Master Hao." It was almost dawn. Since Lu Zhang knew about their situation, Master Hao must know too. If we were any later, he would have already vanished.
Duan Jianghe stayed to treat the injured friends, while the others followed Lan Shiruo to look for people.
Before he had taken two steps, he was met by a large group of people. His friend cursed, "Is this so unlucky?"
The weapon in his hand tightened.
The four people who came forward took the lead, and one of them said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, everyone. We are here to make friends."
The friends don’t believe it. They have killed their friends, so how can they still make friends?
The visitor didn't get angry and continued to smile, "We come with sincerity." With a wave of his hand, the younger brother behind him brought up a scruffy old man with a shifty look and a sly beard. "He is the Mr. Hao you are looking for."
He? Mr. Hao?
The little friend had a strange look on his face and stared at the four people. Was he here to make fun of them or to make fun of them?
"It's absolutely true, Mr. Hao. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Pointing to Lu Zhang next to him.
The friend looked over and saw Lu Zhang trembling and nodding, "Yes, yes, it's him, it's Mr. Hao."
Hao Ye kept his head down from beginning to end, neither resisting nor arguing.
My friends' heads are full of alpaca, okay, that's their own preconceived notion, thinking that even if they're not a high-ranking official, they're at least a normal human being, not a rat in the gutter. People, you still shouldn't be so self-righteous.
Ao Chengyi asked coldly, "What do you want?"
The visitor smiled. "To be honest, we've always known that Old Huang is a traitor to Y City, but we can't find any evidence or the people behind him. Even if we did, it would be difficult to capture them without any losses. The hundreds of people he brought today are really well hidden, and many are hiding in secret. If it weren't for what happened today, we wouldn't have the chance to find them all and wipe them out in one fell swoop. Although it seems like I'm using you all, I'm truly grateful for your help in eradicating this cancer in Y City. So, I'm sending you a thank you gift. Master Hao, I'll leave it to you."
The little friend's expression remained unchanged, thinking there must be a second half, and sure enough.
"Of course, I have another unwelcome request. Please consider it."
"Speak." Ao Chengyi said.
"Y City is remote, with a poor geographical environment and few people. However, it is located in the mountains, where many mutant beasts often appear and attack humans. Our abilities are limited, and we have very few supplies, especially hard weapons. So we want to exchange some with you. I have hunted many mutant beasts before and saved some crystal cores. If possible, I would like to use the crystal cores to exchange. What do you think?"
They knew that the young couple were the ones in charge of the household, but they couldn't be too domineering when asking for help from others, so they had to take care of everyone. So they looked around at everyone's faces with just the right amount of politeness and sincerity.
Lan Shiruo nodded imperceptibly. The men had looted an ancient castle, enough for the exchange. These things were becoming less and less useful as time went on, so exchanging them wouldn't be a loss; she also needed the crystal cores.
Ao Chengyi nodded, "Okay, make a list and we'll give you an estimate."
The four of them were overjoyed, knowing they had found the right person. The list had already been made, "Everyone, take a look."
There are quite a lot of things needed, weighing several tons.
Ao Chengyi naturally handed the valuation matter over to his young wife, and he just helped her.
Lan Shiruo was a little confused. How could she estimate? Before she could react, the dog man had already spoken.
Why did it feel like I was slapped in the face? "Well, well, let me see how sincere you are."
The four of them were stunned. Why was he different from the person who was so murderous just now?
Lan Shiruo covered her face and said, it was all that bastard’s fault. Why did he ask her to estimate the price?
Ao Chengyi was embarrassed. Well, it was indeed his fault.
The little friend covered his mouth and laughed secretly, it turned out that there were things that his elder sister didn't know.
The four of them didn't dare to laugh, as they had something to ask of them.
He took out a bag of crystal cores and said, "Please take a look. If the value is not enough, we can write an IOU. This is all we have at the moment."
It was packed in a sack and weighed about one or two hundred kilograms. Tsk tsk, the friends suffered another blow. They couldn't even get ten kilograms of crystal cores.
Lan Shiruo opened it and took a look. The pills were packed in small bags. The most were level two, nearly ten thousand, level three was two to three thousand, level four was five to six hundred, and there were even level five pills, not many, but not a few either, nearly a hundred. "Have you made the mutant beasts extinct?"
The four of them shook their heads. "Of course not. We're not perverts. These are ferocious beasts that actively attack humans. We didn't touch the others that stayed in their own territory and didn't actively attack humans. The mountains outside Y City are so huge, and we haven't even walked all of them yet. There are countless mutant beasts inside, and this is just a drop in the bucket."
The friend was shocked. "So many? What if there's a beast tide?"
"That's what we're worried about, but if we leave, there's nowhere to go. Other places might pose other problems. Mutant beasts are powerful, but generally speaking, they've developed intelligence and won't attack humans. We bought a large number of weapons just in case."
My friend is a little tempted, but he doesn’t know if he can find a suitable contracted beast there, as more than half of the people don’t have a contract yet.
Lan Shiruo poured cold water on them, "Don't even think about it. With your current abilities, you're just delivering food. The mutant beasts in the mountains are currently safe because their territory hasn't been invaded. If you really go in, you might not be able to get out. Work hard and you can come back later."
My friends are so weak. It’s their fault for being so weak.
Lan Shiruo let them reflect, "These are enough. The crystal cores are useful. You have an advantage in this area. You can collect more for your own use."
"Thank you. We will."
Lan Shiruo nodded, and Ao Chengyi waved his hand, putting out the things they wanted and piling them up like a mountain.
The four of them were overjoyed and quickly asked people to move.
It would be great if I could just help them store it in the warehouse. Forget it, when asking for help from others, you have to have the right attitude.
The little friend just watched them busy without disturbing them and pulled Hao Ye over for interrogation.
Before he could even open his mouth, a bullet came and took Hao Ye's life.
Buddy
Ao Chengyi chased after him and returned quickly with a grim expression, "He committed suicide."
Well, all the clues are broken.
"Where are Ye Bingkun and He Minyan?" Lan Shiruo asked.
"I asked the four leaders, and they said that when they went there, the people had already been kidnapped. Wei Xiong's men were killed, and the whereabouts of the two are now unknown."
Lan Shiruo frowned. She hadn't taken it seriously at first, but now that it happened, it was impossible not to take it seriously. "Let's rest first. We'll talk about it later if anything comes up."
All the friends were more or less injured, with the main injuries being those who were knocked over by the giant tiger and General Goshawk. After Duan Jianghe's treatment, they were all fine.
Lan Shiruo brought out some water, and everyone washed up, had a simple meal, and then rested.
It was already bright outside, and no one dared to make a sound for fear of disturbing the group of evil spirits.
Lan Shiruo and her family of three brought General Goshawk back to the space. Le Bao felt so sorry for Goshawk and General Goshawk that he hugged them, kissed them, patted them, and was very busy.
