Picking up the water-soaked hemp rope that was as thick as an arm, Zhou Xu and Arthur first tested the strength with a grin, and then strode to the middle of the Blood Tiger Gang people lying on the ground with satisfaction.
Snapped.
"be honest!"
When passing Cang Hu, Zhou Xun couldn't help but raise his hand, pinch his neck and slap him on the back of the neck.
This action doesn't hurt much, but it is very insulting.
But unfortunately at this time, Cang Hu didn't dare to make any move at all. He could only stiffen his body and quickly apologized with a smile.
He was so excited that he couldn't imagine it.
The demon standing on the stone in my peripheral vision seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts.
During the chase and escape, the people he shot and killed were all thornheads from the Blood Tiger Gang who had seen a lot of blood, and all of them had murder cases on their hands.
Most of those left behind are those who have just survived the blood epidemic and gained abilities, and have not yet formally joined and submitted their certificates of nomination.
Moreover, he had read the information on this guy Zhou Xun several times and was sure that he was just a jerk in the camp.
How did he get connected with this demon?! Where did this guy come from?
What is his purpose? He seemed to have asked me before...
Zhou Xun tied his hands to other members of the Blood Tiger Gang, and Arthur tied him to everyone from his feet.
Cang Hu's mind was in chaos, and he had no idea what the devil's purpose was in driving him and others here.
Is it possible that he really wants to be used as experimental material? Do some horrific biological experiments?
No way?!
"Take them up the mountain and wait for me at the top while I deal with the traces left on the road." After scanning everyone, Somo said in a deep voice.
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Yang, we will complete the mission!"
While chasing and escaping along the way, he had already dealt with those who had outstanding abilities, were difficult to monitor, and had vicious personalities.
The people left behind may appear to be tough, but in reality they are strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
Now that their hands and feet are tied again, even if they have magical abilities, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping.
Not long after.
After returning with peace of mind and dealing with some traces that could easily be followed, Somo returned to the high place leisurely.
Less than half an hour later, the group was driven to the top of the mountain. After seeing the two-story bungalow, their attitude changed a lot.
At the very least, Cang Hu could already see real fear in his eyes, and he clearly understood the gap in strength.
"Bring them in first. Zhou Xun, you are responsible for collecting the basic information about when they were infected with the blood epidemic. You should understand what I need, right?"
"Master Yang, don't worry, I will make sure the statistics are clear!" Zhou Xun was eager to try, obviously he had imagined what he would look like when he was tortured to extract a confession.
His hand will never be soft when dealing with beasts like the Blood Tiger Gang. Even if he kills them, he is still doing harm to the people!
"Okay, I'll take Mr. Arthur first, and..."
"Forgot to introduce to Mr. Yang, this is my little girl Kaixi" changed Mr. Yang to Mr. Yang, and Arthur's attitude also changed quietly.
This is not because he now unconditionally trusts Soma, but that ordinary people in the wasteland should maintain such an attitude towards the strong.
"Okay, take Kaixi with you. Can I help you check your body first?"
Pretend to take out the key, but actually establish contact with the terminal and open the door.
As the door of the bungalow opened, a strong smell of rice had not dissipated, and many people present had their stomachs growling.
The people of the Blood Tiger Gang were left to be scolded by Zhou Xun and rushed to the gym area in the corner of the first floor of the room.
Arthur took his daughter, and Sumo went straight to the second floor.
"Mr. Yang, the instruments you have here..." Looking around at the various high-tech instruments that seemed to have returned to modern society, Arthur felt a little dazed: "I feel as if I have returned to the earth."
"Earth? The people here are more valuable than those on Earth!" Sumo smiled, minding his own business and began to open these advanced treatment equipment dismantled from the fleet's medical ship.
"Arthur, you lie down first, and I'll take a look at your physical condition."
"Okay." After placing his daughter on the chair next to him, Arthur lay down on the bench with a little anticipation and entered the barrel-like radiation equipment.
Stab.
X-rays began to be taken all over the body, and the power brought by the radiation was enough to reveal all the abnormalities in Arthur's body.
At the same time, Sumo was not idle and began to take out the collection equipment and collect the opponent's basic body substances in sequence.
"Your skin seems to have changed a bit. It's tougher than ordinary people's?"
"Really, that's really good news." Arthur's buzzing voice came from the instrument, and you could hear that he was actually a little happy.
"Ha, this is not good news. The more your body is affected by the blood epidemic, it means that it will be more difficult to eliminate the blood epidemic in the future."
After drawing the blood, Sumo looked a little solemn when he saw that the blood in the test tube had turned black and blue.
Zhou Xun's blood with a hint of black spots pales in comparison to Arthur's current blood.
The former at least means that his genes have not been completely invaded, while the latter seems to have at least been invaded by most of it, or even more.
only...
"Master Yang, why do you need to eliminate the blood plague? Haven't I already successfully overcome it? This ability... is my reward!"
Hearing Sumo's somewhat low tone, Arthur asked in confusion.
It is certainly not a good thing to be infected with blood plague, but as long as you can survive it, you can enjoy the evolution of your body.
Now that he has experienced all the hardships, he wants to eliminate his ability?
"Reward?" Sumo subconsciously wanted to tell the truth about gene devouring, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
Yes, so far, this ability does look like a bonus.
It is a specific effect produced by a certain fusion between the species genes entrained in the blood plague virus and human genes.
He has indeed allowed ordinary people to acquire abilities that can only be possessed in fantasy, which are far beyond normal people.
But everything has a price, and maybe this price hasn't been revealed yet, but it will explode at some point.
"Okay, your data has been measured. Now let's help your daughter up."
"There's still a lot of work to do tonight. I may need you to help me get started and test all the people downstairs, so that I can get more data to determine the source of this blood epidemic and its treatment.
The way"
"Yes, Mr. Yang, these are what Arthur should do."
The instrument's analysis took more than half an hour. Sumo didn't want to waste the intervening time. After simply looking at the basic images, he immediately started preparations for the next round.
As Arthur helped his daughter Kathy onto the instrument, X-rays were emitted again and full-body scanning began.
...
"Brother Xun, you have been busy all day. Go and rest quickly. I will help Mr. Yang complete the rest of the work."
"Okay, trouble Uncle Arthur!"
Handing the note containing the information of all Blood Tiger Gang members present to Arthur, Zhou Xun yawned all the way back to the room and lay down.
Although the blood plague gave him magical abilities during the day, judging from the stage, he is still in the period of rapid onset.
Energy will be consumed several times faster than ordinary people.
If it weren't for the unimaginably rich meal in the afternoon, he would have been exhausted and paralyzed here by now, and he would not have thought about the interrogation.
Fortunately, after everything was settled and the door was closed and he lay on the bed, Zhou Xun quickly relaxed again.
He comfortably dug under his crotch and took out a square device from the small pocket sewn on the trouser leg.
The outer casing of this square device was wrapped in two layers with cotton he collected from who knows where, which is enough to show that Zhou Xun attaches great importance to this device!
"It was such a fulfilling day. I didn't expect to miss the Tianyuan Fleet and that Master Su."
"There is no end to the road, and I have met Mr. Yang again. It seems that my fate, Zhou Xun, should not be cut off!"
Zhou Xun sighed while pressing the side of the device. The black screen began to jump, and a new page gradually jumped out.
This was given to him by a noble man he met during his previous adventure in the wild.
At that time, the man didn't know what he had gone through. He was seriously injured and was already on the verge of death.
He asked Zhou Xun to deliver a letter containing a large number of obscure codes to the designated person.
As the price of the request, this adventurer terminal is his reward!
At first, Zhou Xu didn't care about this device.
But as he used it more and more deeply, he suddenly realized how valuable the adventurer terminal in his hand was!
"Let's first see if there is any important information today..."
Connect to the adventurer network and click on the regional communication channel. Zhou Xun's slightly excited expression is reflected on the black screen.
After a few seconds, the interface jumped, a new group chat window jumped out, and began to receive refresh messages.
[Scope: Three districts on the south coast of the New World; number of people entering in the past month: 679; average level: LV1.85; maximum level: lv10; currently online: 71 people]
[Kuaitaizi (lv2): Is the Tianyuan fleet crazy? They haven’t stopped wherever they passed in the past few days. All the docks we spent money to build are in ruins. Damn it, wait until the next time they trade the fleet.
I don’t know when it came]
[Super God Cuihua (lv1): If you don’t understand, just ask, has someone offended the Tianyuan Fleet? Didn’t they stop everywhere before? How come there are more than 4,000 people in our territory, and they don’t take a serious look at it?
of?】
[Old Dragon King Qingshan (lv1): It’s over. The blood epidemic has almost destroyed our place, especially those perverts who have survived the blood epidemic. Although they have that strange ability these days, their minds have almost become
Like the aliens, they are madmen who only know how to kill]
[funny(lv2): That’s a bad thing. The blood epidemic is too violent this time. If the game is strengthened again later, it will be over! 】
[I'll take the blame (lv1): Well said, so I suggest that those of us who are able to afford it should run away early, don't hold on]
[Enlarge Electric Eel (lv1): Oh, Fan, I am about to die! Fan, Fan, Fan! I finally found out that the Tianyuan Fleet sells blood plague inhibitors. Who would have thought that they would not stop! 】
【...】
Different from the communication channel in Tianyuan Territory, people always start at level 4 or 5, level 6 or 7 is a mess, and level 8 or 9 can appear at any time.
On the remote and poor southern coast of the New World, there are basically no adventurers higher than level three.
At this point, the average grade from the panel is only 1.85...
etc...
Noticing this number, which was significantly higher than yesterday's 1.61, and then seeing the highest level of 10 at the back, Zhou Xun was shocked.
This place where birds don't shit has actually been visited by level 10 bosses?
No way, did I miss the opportunity to pay homage to the tenth-level boss today??
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn't bear the gossip in his heart and stretched out his hand to type on the analog keyboard.
After a while, a message was edited and sent out by him, and it was integrated into the network information flow of the South Third District.
[Blue Beast (lv5): Brothers, I had something to do during the day and I didn’t have time to go to the terminal. Is there a level 10 boss showing up today? 】
[Zhang Dou (lv1): Damn it, Brother Beast is here, let’s pay homage to Brother Beast from the front row]
[Sleeping on fuel and tasting courage (lv1): Brother Beast is busy during the day? I understand, Brother Beast must be making money again this time! 】
[I will take the blame (lv1): How can there be other big guys in our place? Brother Beast, you are the most powerful in this area. When other big guys come over, they can’t come to you first to pay homage to you? 】
[Old Dragon King Qingshan (lv1): That’s right, if my beast brother doesn’t say anything, who in the South Third District would dare to act arrogantly? 】
【...】
In the whirlwind of lv1, a lv5 suddenly jumped out.
Looking at the compliments that filled the screen, Zhou Xun scratched his head. Although his face was a little embarrassed, his heart was almost overjoyed.
No one knows that his level 5 is actually a fake level 5, inherited from someone else's terminal.
In terms of strength and means, his current combat effectiveness can be considered a strong lv1 at best, and he is not very sure that he can even complete the promotion task of lv2.
[Blue Beast (lv4): Don’t do it, I’m serious, this is a level 10 boss, if I can see him once in my life, I will definitely die without regrets]
[Enlarge Electric Eel (lv1): Fan, Fan, Fan, Brother Beast is really Versailles. You are the only boss in our land. How can other bosses dare to come? 】
[Runes (lv4): The tenth-level boss is Jin Yaoxingjun. He must have been passing by. He only hurriedly logged into our chat channel and then went offline without speaking. I am not sure if he is still in our South Third District]
[Blue Beast (lv5): Awesome, Brother Rune is indeed well-informed, he actually knows a level 10 boss? 】
An unfamiliar code name is like a fantasy.
When he heard that the other party only entered the chat channel in a hurry and did not communicate in it, the regret in Zhou Xun's heart faded a lot.
When the person holding the terminal handed over the letter to him, he must give it to an adventurer who is at least level seven, and the higher the level, the better.
As long as you give the letter to a person with a higher level, the reward the other party will give you will be greater, and it is not impossible to even reach the sky and take him into a super large territory in one step.
Because of this, Zhou Xun has been trying to find and contact high-level adventurers.
Unfortunately, the South Third District is really sparsely populated, and his fake level 5 is the highest level he has seen in the past month or so.
Further down, there are only lv4 of Runes, and a few lv3 and lv2 here and there. Most people are just ordinary lv1 dawdling around.
"If I could give this letter to Lord Jin Yaoxing, wouldn't I take off?"
"A level 10 giant. Even if a hair leaks out of his hand, it would be enough for me to live happily in the wasteland for who knows how many years..."
After continuing to watch the chat channel for a while, Zhou Xun's vanity was greatly satisfied by the continuous compliments.
In the past, he was afraid that these people would expose his true identity and let them discover that he was just an ordinary person underneath level 5.
But now, in Master Yang's big house, his desire for safety exploded, and words he normally dared not say came out of his mouth.
[Blue Beast (lv5): Don’t worry, everyone, although Mr. Jin Yaoxing looks down on backwaters like ours in the South Third District, this is our hometown. As long as we all unite and develop ourselves well, we may be able to be promoted to lv10 in the future.
Maybe]
Finish this sentence.
As expected, there was another flurry of praise below, once again raising the atmosphere in the chat channel to a new level.
In this warm atmosphere, Zhou Xun quickly got all the information he wanted.
"It seems that the surrounding territories are not peaceful these days. The more blood plague mutants there are, the more difficult it will be to manage the territory."
"In the future, I might become a human and fight against those with blood plague abilities."
Zhou Xun turned off the terminal worriedly, put it back into his trouser pocket, and lay down.
On weekdays, he relied on this method to obtain information about the surrounding territories so that he could make advance territory planning operations.
For example, those supplies that have been accumulated in advance are obtained by relying on information advantages and buying low and selling high.
but now...
Zhou Xun was still deep in thought when suddenly, a familiar sound of heavy footsteps sounded outside the house.
He got up, opened the door and took a look, and there was a sudden surprise on his face.
"Hey, Mr. Yang, do you want to go out at night?"
When he went to the camp before, he saw Sumo dressed in casual clothes, as if he didn't take the Blood Tiger Gang seriously at all.
But now, at least in terms of clothing, Sumo had put on a smart combat uniform and seemed to pay a lot of attention to his opponent.
Could it be that they are the pursuers of the Blood Tiger Gang, the most difficult big boss, the Blood Tiger?
"Well, another distinguished guest is here. I have to go out and greet him."
"Do you want me to help you?" Zhou Xun took out the pistol from his waist and stretched out his big belly.
"No, you can just sleep. I will bring him back later and you may have to interrogate him. I have to continue the experiment."
When he heard that Sumo could continue the experiment after finishing dealing with this person, Zhou Xun nodded quickly, closed the door obediently, and lay back on the bed.
The door opened and closed, making a slight noise.
At this moment, a strange idea suddenly came to his mind.
"I don't know if Mr. Yang can join the Adventurer League, what level will he be with his terrifying combat power..."
"I'm afraid it must be at least level six..."
In Zhou Xun's knowledge, he had seen the lv5 blue beast.
Even though the opponent was seriously injured at that time, he could easily restrain him with all his strength, which shows how terrifying an adventurer of this level is.
For Somo to be ranked at level six is the limit of his imagination.
As for higher?
"Master Yang is still young. If he joins the Adventurer League, in more than ten years, he may really have a chance to aspire to level 10 and reach the level of transcendence like Jin Yaoxingjun."
"If I follow him... I am a fake lv5..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun's tense mood finally relaxed completely.
A flash of fatigue flashed through him, and he closed his eyes, and his mind began to involuntarily fantasize about the scene in the future when he would follow Somo and become more and more powerful.
No high-level adventurer or Lord Jin Yaoxing can reveal his identity anymore.
At that time, he was a real adventurer and a real strong man!
