Chapter 270: Eliminate Demons and Kill Monsters
Shizhou.
Ningdu Town.
This is a small town in the wilderness, located on the edge of the Gobi Desert.
The Great Gobi Desert is a vast uninhabited area with no grass growing on it. In the past, it was Changshan County, where people were so poor that they didn't even have underwear to wear.
Although Shizhou is poor, it believes that it is much better than Changshan County.
Therefore, Ningdu Town, which is close to Changshan County, was also considered by them to be a remote and poor place and was not taken seriously.
This town was so remote that even the secret agents were too lazy to come, which allowed the rebels to take advantage of the opportunity. With less than a hundred people, they turned the entire town upside down.
It was only when the Shizhou spies were chasing the bandits that they discovered something was wrong.
As the confidant of the Shizhou Governor, Wu Daxiong took the lead and immediately led a large number of troops to surround Ningdu Town at night and encircle and suppress the rebels.
The battle was extremely brutal. There were only about a hundred people, no cannons, only pistols, and some people only had knives and sticks. They fought in the streets for seven days, and more than 900 people were killed or wounded before they were defeated.
Wu Daxiong was originally very angry, but he soon discovered that they were actually from Changshan County.
This was really a pleasant surprise. This group of people were so good at fighting, they must have a close relationship with the young county chief of Changshan County.
Wu Daxiong immediately called Changshan County, determined to vent his anger from some time ago.
But I didn't expect that he could make 80 million in one go. These must be a group of big fish, and that guy has big ambitions.
When Wu Daxiong thought of the golden banknotes, his heart was filled with heat. He ordered the torture to stop: "Okay! Don't beat him to death!"
Only then did a few people put down the dying Nightingale, bandaged it simply and threw it back.
Wu Daxiong ordered, "Ade, keep an eye on those rebels and don't let them cause any trouble. Save the dying ones and pack up the bodies of the dead ones."
"Yes, President." Ade took the order and left.
Wu Daxiong added, "Old Xu, immediately send someone to transfer one million from the secret account to my account."
Old Xu asked curiously, "Why, President?"
"Idiot, how can I explain myself without one million?" Wu Daxiong cursed. "You said I let the person go? Doesn't that make me a traitor? This one million is Changshan County's ransom money."
The confidants around him suddenly understood, but another person asked, "But, but, what if that brat tells Governor Gu?"
Wu Daxiong sneered, "Will Governor Gu trust an outsider? Or will he trust his loyal subordinates? Besides, that kid is untrustworthy, goes back on his word, is treacherous and despicable, shameless and lecherous. How much money has he cheated us out of? Do you think Governor Gu will still trust him?"
After hearing this, all the confidants finally understood and praised him:
"high!"
"The president is brilliant!"
"As expected of the boss!"
"Brothers, we've made a fortune!"
Wu Daxiong smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely benefit from your kindness."
After the cheers, another person asked, "Boss, do we really have to return the people to them?"
Wu Daxiong sneered, "It depends on whether he's sensible or not. If not, we don't mind breaking the contract. If he is, forget it. But we must be on guard against him."
"A few of you, take the men to ambush nearby and surround this area."
"You guys, take your men and ambush outside the town."
"And you guys, go out and scout to see how many people the other side has brought and whether there is any follow-up support."
Just as he was making the arrangements, a trusted aide suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Boss, Boss! People from Changshan County are coming!"
"How many people?"
"A man wearing a strange mask and carrying a large bag said he had brought the ransom and asked us to release the person!"
Wu Daxiong stood up suddenly.
He asked about the situation in detail, but the confidant could not say anything more.
Wu Daxiong felt a little chill in his heart. Less than half an hour after he finished the phone call, someone came to his door.
The key point is that he actually came with money.
What does this mean?
This means that either all this is always under the control of the kid from Changshan County, or his power under the surface is much greater than he imagined.
What he revealed was just the tip of the iceberg.
Wu Daxiong's heart, which was originally filled with pride and arrogance, seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and he calmed down.
"What should we do?" a confidant came closer and asked.
Wu Daxiong was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "Who's afraid of who? Call all the brothers over here, and take all the rebels into custody! Call that messenger over here too. Grandpa wants to meet him in the square to see how much he's worth."
A moment later, Wu Daxiong saw the man in the square.
He was indeed as his confidant had said, very tall, wearing a very cool cloak, with a sword on his waist, a white mask on his face with the words "Animal Realm" written on it, a large leather suitcase in his hand, and a large bag on his back that was taller than him.
In order to highlight the horror, Wu Daxiong deliberately did not use electric lights, but instead set up a circle of torches in the square.
The flickering firelight made everyone's faces look gloomy.
However, the man's mask looked even more sinister in the firelight.
Wu Daxiong sat high in the chair, feeling unhappy, as if he was building momentum for others.
He was determined to give him a warning. With a wave of his hand, a large man jumped out and shouted, "You lunatic! Kneel before you, President Wu!"
"Kneel down!" Hundreds of brothers around shouted in unison.
The man pretended not to hear anything, let go of his hand, and the suitcase fell to the ground at his feet. He kicked it lightly and the suitcase opened.
Suddenly, a bright light emanated from his body, as if there was an incandescent bulb hidden in his clothes.
The bright lights illuminated the square, and also clearly showed the 8,000 largest denomination banknotes in the empire.
The dazzling golden color seemed to have opened a legendary treasure chest, radiating waves of wealth and attracting everyone's attention.
The man said coldly: "This is 80 million, where are the people?"
Wu Daxiong was momentarily distracted, but he quickly recovered and sneered, "How would I know if it's real or fake? You have to wait until I've verified the money before I can let you go."
Although I said that, as long as I looked at the golden light, the banknotes that seemed to be made of the purest gold, and the feeling that mixed the metal texture and the softness of paper, I was sure in my heart that it was real.
"Can."
This was an unreasonable request, but the man actually agreed. He buckled the suitcase and threw it at Wu Daxiong's feet.
Wu Daxiong was both surprised and confused. The other party did not play by the rules at all, which made him feel a little at a loss.
He picked up the suitcase and started talking in a roundabout way, but the other party ignored him and just sneered, "You'd better hurry up. If you rob the thieves, it will be very ugly."
Wu Daxiong felt a chill in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment and wanted to turn against the other party, but seeing that the other party was completely fearless, he felt a little nervous.
He opened the suitcase and reached in to look through it. There were no layers or waste paper. The paper felt excellent, and the matte feel of the metal was unique.
If the manufacturing cost were not too high, the empire would definitely use this kind of banknote to replace the current mainstream currency.
They are all real, weighing 50 kilograms. Excluding the box, there are probably about 8,000 photos.
Eighty million is right in hand.
Wu Daxiong's mind raced. He was just thinking about robbing the robbers, but now he was thinking about fair trade.
Anyway, there is no point in holding those rebels in our hands.
Eighty million!
It’s right in front of you, at your fingertips!
There is no point in robbing other thieves. One person won't get any profit from it and may even get into some unnecessary trouble.
Don't make any unnecessary trouble, just get the money first.
This was the only thing left in Wu Daxiong's mind.
He immediately closed the suitcase, blocking out the uncomfortable golden light.
"Let him go," he said briefly.
Soon, more than twenty people were brought out from a large room. They were covered in blood and had only received simple bandages. Many of them were carried out.
The leader was none other than Rock Liu Henshi. He had many large wounds on his body, his flesh was torn apart, and he was bleeding profusely, but he didn't frown. He still walked in the front, protecting everyone behind him.
Then, a large truck drove out from the shadows.
Wu Daxiong said calmly, "Brothers, when two armies engage in battle, each serving its own master, there is no choice. Life and death are determined by fate. I can only say sorry. Have a safe journey, everyone."
With a wave of his hand, the driver jumped out, apparently giving the car to them as well.
Lin Wen said briefly: "Get in the car."
As soon as Yanshi heard it, he knew it was County Chief Lin. He remained calm and sent all the brothers into the truck. There was not much space on the truck, so most of the brothers could only go into the back car and sit with the corpse covered with white cloth.
When a few people saw the familiar faces under the white cloth, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yanshi quickly helped the people into the car, and then sat in the front seat with County Mayor Lin.
"You drive." Lin Wen said.
Although Yanshi was seriously injured, he did not delay. He immediately changed to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator, and the truck started and drove out.
Wu Daxiong's voice could be heard from the back: "Brother, the money and goods are settled. If you want revenge, go to Qiao Kuangren, the director of the Special Affairs Bureau of the Shizhou Governor's Office. I, Old Wu, am just following orders."
Yanshi knew that he was not out of danger yet, so he didn't drive too fast. He only stepped on the accelerator after leaving the town.
After walking about ten kilometers, Lin Wencai shouted, "Okay, stop."
Rock whispered, "Chief Lin, this place is not safe yet. We are not out of danger yet."
"Stop the car." Lin Wen said succinctly, "Someone is dying."
Rock was slightly startled and quickly stopped the car.
Lin Wen jumped down and opened the trunk, and a mixture of the smell of blood and corpses hit his nose.
"Get out of the car quickly and bring the seriously injured to me. I have medicine."
The first person brought before him was the Medicine King Sun Jiuchang. His hands were folded behind his back, presenting a strange deformity. His chest was sunken, and his face was covered with large wounds cut by knives. The wounds had already festered, and a foul odor was pungent.
His eyes were closed and his breathing was very weak.
Yanshi whispered, "Headmaster Lin, he's from Shizhou, and he just wants to go back and give medicine to his fellow villagers to treat their illness."
Lin Wen looked at him.
The injury was very serious, a mixture of inflammation and poison, and it lasted for too long, so he was only half alive.
[Yangzhi Ganlu] or [Tianshui Huashangshu] cannot save the person, and the higher-level [Renshui Huishengshu] must be used.
【Renshui Resurrection Technique】
A gray Jindan stage spell that consumes 30% of the soul, restores the incompleteness and darkness of life, and lasts for 12 hours.
Lin Wen gently pressed his right hand on his chest, and with his left hand, he rubbed some mud from his body and fed it to him.
The magic light flashed by, and in just a moment, Sun Jiuchang's breathing recovered, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding, and his bones made a slight crackling sound.
Lin Wen handed the man over to Yanshi: "Clean the wound and then reconnect his bones."
This spell is not as immediate as other healing spells, but its effect is actually much stronger. The difference is probably that one is instant recovery and the other is slow recovery.
As we all know, instant recovery is more expensive.
Lin Wen cured the dying Butcher, Nightingale, Lao Gang and others one after another, and then distributed a bottle of [Yangzhi Ganlu] to all the remaining people.
In this way, the injuries of more than 20 people were stabilized.
Soul remaining: 123%
"Alright." Lin Wen clapped his hands, almost rubbing off the old mud on his body. "You guys should go back quickly."
Yanshi was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going back with us? Where are our people waiting outside? What should we do next?"
Lin Wen said, "Someone will be here to help soon. Remember to tell them to surround us directly when they arrive and don't let anyone escape."
He picked up his big bag, stood up and walked out.
Yanshi asked anxiously, "Chief Lin, where are you going?"
Lin Wen untied the straps on his bag, revealing a back full of guns.
He casually pulled out an assault rifle and fumbled with it.
"Exorcist."
He said.
"Kill the demon."
