Chapter 686 Bad situation

Seeing Sans holding the wood carving tightly and experiencing the power given by the wood carving, Leo was also surprised by Sans's choice just now. Originally, he thought Sans would definitely choose the kind of wood carving that could give powerful power, but he chose instead

Among all the wood carvings, the wood carving Mist Rat is the weakest but also the most special.

The Mist Rat is the only beast among the wood carvings made by Leo that has nothing to do with beasts. It is the most common beast in the Minsk continent. There is not much special about this beast. The only thing worth remembering is this beast.

This beast is the least likely to die accidentally.

When the medical school edited the biological atlas, they carefully observed and studied this beast. The researchers at that time found that fog rats have a strong sense of danger. As long as a slightly malicious sight falls on them, they will immediately

Sensing it, and instantly choosing the most correct way to escape.

Researchers once specially created an extremely complex maze, then built a safe house at the only exit of the maze, then placed a fog rat into the maze, and placed a wild cat next to it.

After that, an astonishing scene happened. The fog rat immediately sensed the malice of the wild cat, and walked through the maze at an extremely fast speed, and finally reached the safe house at the end without making a single mistake in the middle, as if it knew it had reached the safe place.

What is the correct route to take?

It is naturally impossible for Leo to completely imitate the abilities of the Mist Rat through the rune magic array, but the rune magic array in the wood carving can give the holder a very strong sense of crisis. Even if this crisis sense is not as good as that of the Mist Rat, it can still

It's definitely not much different.

When Leo introduced the functions of these wood carvings to Sans, Sans immediately chose the wood carving of the fog rat. This shows that he must be avoiding something dangerous and hopes to use the power of the wood carvings to help him

Sense danger before it comes.

Leo had no intention of exploring what dangers Sans would face in the future, nor did he intend to help Sans solve the problem. In his opinion, selling a wood carving to Sans was already the most appropriate help.

Leo left the camp and directly boarded a steam rail car in the city.

This kind of steam rail car is almost the same as the steam rail car that appeared in Milia back then. However, in order to increase the load capacity, the steam locomotive here is enlarged and there are two more carriages, so the steam ejected from the train

There is also a lot more dense fog and dust.

However, this kind of steam and dust that caused countless accidents in Miria City and was disgusted by everyone became a trivial matter in Kugang City, because the smoke emitted from the chimneys in the city is the real big trouble. With this big trouble

Being entangled in the city, small troubles naturally become less conspicuous.

Most of the rich people in the city live in the suburbs, and almost all the people living in the city are workers in steel plants.

Although the workers' uprising in Maris Kingdom is now very loud, it has not affected Kugang City, because in terms of treatment, the workers of Kugang City far exceed that of workers in other parts of Maris Kingdom, and are even better than those in other parts of Maris Kingdom.

People at the level of factory supervisors in other places are better than others. The only flaw is environmental issues.

The reason why it is so unique is mainly because the founders of the Kusteel City Board of Directors had extremely wise foresight. From the beginning, they included provisions related to workers' treatment into the basic rules of the Kusteel City Board of Directors.

Subsequent board members also followed these codes.

These codes include providing workers with basic rights such as medical insurance, education, etc., providing basic housing, and also stipulates the annual salary increase and pension policies, etc. It can be said that when the board of directors of Kuangang City announced these codes, Maris

Everyone in the kingdom thinks that the people in Kusteel City are fools, and some even think that this is a trap designated by King-Selecter Saran to bring down Kusteel City, because King-Selector Saran also participated in the formulation of the code.

But what happened later showed that these codes definitely did more good than harm to the factory owners in Dry Steel City, and the loyalty of the workers was unmatched in other places. There were even times when factory operations ran into difficulties more than once.

Workers gave money to help the factory tide over the difficulties.

Of course, there have been some new factory owners who were unwilling to abide by the code and were more willing to implement the harsh squeeze methods from the outside world. These factory owners usually either died violently or were quickly squeezed out by the factories controlled by the board of directors.

Bankruptcy, so the board of directors has always been firmly in control of the situation in Kugang City.

This time the workers' riot in Maris progressed to a workers' uprising. Although some local workers wanted to take advantage of this momentum to obtain better workers' treatment from the board of directors, before this trend took off, they were immediately dismissed by the internal factory union.

They were suppressed and the person who caused the trouble disappeared.

When the outside world is in turmoil, Kugang City is still very calm. The factory owners in Kugang City are even more happy about the stalemate, because as long as the war continues, both sides will definitely need to manufacture a large number of weapons.

There is no need to worry about sales of steel in Kugang City.

Things turned out exactly as the members of the board of directors discussed at the time. Steel orders from the Royal Government Army and the Workers' Rebel Army were delivered to the desk of the board of directors like rain.

In fact, both sides have smelting plants, but most of these plants were secretly destroyed by people from both sides. During the war, they could not be repaired for a while, so they could only buy them from outside, and Dry Steel City became the most suitable one.

place of purchase.

Therefore, relying on orders from both warring parties, it can be said that Dry Steel City has made a lot of money during this period. Even the workers have been given bonuses several times. If this continues, Dry Steel City will become the richest company in the Maris Kingdom.

The city can be said to be just around the corner.

But as the situation in the kingdom's civil war begins to change, the good days of Kusteel City seem to be passing, and there is a tendency to become involved in the civil war, because both opposing sides hope to control Kusteel City in order to obtain a stable supply of steel and cut off the other party.

source of steel supply, so both sides invariably dispatched many of their elite troops to the northwest region of the kingdom, causing several cities in the northwest region to be involved in the war, and a recent civil war was just a few kilometers away.

Steel City is only one day away.

But the war is not the most serious thing for Kugang City. After all, Kugang City itself has a gendarmerie that belongs to the board of directors and has extremely sophisticated weapons. If any party in the civil war comes, they must negotiate to resolve the ownership of Kugang City.

The problem is, anyone who wants to take down Dry Steel City through strong means will find that it is a hard stone.

What really gives the board of directors of Kusteel City a headache is the monsters that appear in the city. Less than half a month after those monsters appeared, the order of Kusteel City has already encountered an extremely serious test. If it were not for the many years of training by the board of directors,

The prestige allows the workers to retain strong confidence in the team's board of directors. I am afraid that the workers have long been disinclined to work and have fled in all directions.

The monsters that appeared at the beginning were easy to deal with. Although the military police had not dealt with these monsters, they had a large number of weapons and were still able to kill those monsters with their steam-powered crossbows, cannons with special ammunition and other powerful weapons.

They thought that all the monsters had been eliminated, but they did not expect that only some of the monsters were killed on the spot, and there were still some monsters hidden among the citizens. They were no different from ordinary people at ordinary times, but after night,

They will turn into monsters with strange powers and attack people in the city.

Some of these monsters turn into a puddle of water on the ground. As long as someone steps on it, they will be wrapped in the water and eaten instantly. Some even turn into a cloud of dust that can be seen everywhere. Once people enter, they will never be seen again.

It's impossible to come out.

These elusive monsters are difficult to detect. Most of them are only noticed after the victim appears. However, it is impossible to find the murderer at this time, and even if the well-equipped military police or police encounter them

It is impossible to deal with these monsters, because even the most powerful crossbow cannot kill a cloud of mist.

If the board of directors hadn't concealed the news that monsters were hiding among ordinary people, the entire city would have fallen into mutual suspicion and suspicion, and the city might have collapsed without waiting for the arrival of government troops or rebels.

To this end, they announced bounties on bulletin boards in the city to recruit bounty hunters who could kill monsters. In addition, the black market in Dry Steel City also posted similar announcements, such as the bulletin board Leo is looking at now.

The reason why Leo entered the urban area of ​​Kugang City was mainly for the black market in the city. He did not know the specific location of the black market in Kugang City, or even whether there was a black market in Kugang City, but in his opinion, it was the black market in Kugang City.

At its current scale, a black market definitely exists.

As for finding the black market, it is very simple. He no longer needs guidance to find the black market as he did at the beginning. He knows that any black market will leave some marks near the city square that only people with extraordinary power can see. Through the guidance of these marks,

It is easy for outsiders to find the location of the black market.

The black market in Kusteel City is a four-story office building. The appearance is no different from other ordinary office buildings. The first floor is a steel trading company that can be seen everywhere. The black market is located above the second floor. After climbing to the second floor,

There was a supernatural being guarding the stairs. He seemed to have some kind of ability to sense the power of others, which was like a spiritual network. So when Leo was about to go to the second floor, he didn't stop him at all.

All the rooms on the second floor have been demolished, leaving only one empty floor. It should have been transformed into a free market like an underground cemetery, but now this free market is not lively. To be more precise, it is deserted. Looking at it,

It looked like there were only five people here, and they were not selling anything, but standing in front of the bulletin board in front of the market, discussing something.

When Leo walked over, those people also noticed it. They all stopped talking and looked at Leo in unison, with a little surprise on their faces. It seemed that they were not sure that outsiders would come to Kusteel City at this time.

The black market is a little surprising.

While these people were sizing up Leo, Leo's mental network also swept over these people and clearly grasped their situation.

None of these people are extraordinary, but their physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. It seems that they should be bounty hunters who have undergone some special training.

There are a lot of bounty hunters like this in the dark world. Most bounty hunters came into contact with things in the dark world accidentally and were curious about the world behind the real world, so they found ways to join.

However, after they joined in, they found that things were not as beautiful as they thought and were full of dangers. They wanted to quit, but at this time they could no longer quit because no one who knew the truth about the world could return to normal life.

.

Although these ordinary people who rashly break into the dark world cannot compare with extraordinary people in terms of strength, they are not useless. Whether it is the church, the night watchman, or the witches and other dark world organizations, they will all receive special training.

Some ordinary people, as their peripheral personnel, most of those who have gone through these trainings have physical strength and combat capabilities that are far superior to ordinary people. At some point, they can even threaten the lives of extraordinary people.

The bounty hunters who appeared in front of Leo now did not have the marks of other underground forces, so it was judged that they should be bounty hunters trained in the black market training camp.

Black market training camps are different from other underground organizations. They do not need to undergo any identity, ideological, etc. screening and testing. As long as they have money, it is enough. Therefore, the abilities and qualities of bounty hunters from the black market are uneven, and there have been many bounty hunts.

A gold hunter kills his employer and robs him.

These bounty hunters are not sure what their abilities are, but their eyesight is very good. Although Leo deliberately restrained all his strength to make himself look similar to ordinary people, they can still feel the thunder.

Because of Ou's uniqueness and potential danger, when Leo approached, they all stopped talking and made way for Leo to approach the bulletin board.

In front of the bulletin board, Leo could see information about various items for purchase, but the biggest information among them was the reward information from the board of directors of Dry Steel City. It must be said that the reward information was very attractive, and even Leo felt that the price above was

Heartbeat.

"What happened here? Has it always been so deserted?" After reading the bounty information, Leo turned to the bounty hunters and asked.

"Of course not, this place was still overcrowded a few days ago." Someone immediately answered Leo's question and said: "However, many fools thought they could earn the bounty from the board of directors, and they all died in the hands of their prey. The remaining people

They all went here."

As he spoke, the man pointed to the other two pieces of information on the bulletin board. He saw that these two pieces of information were actually recruitment information for the government army and the rebel army. The recruitment requirements above were for capable people. As long as they passed the test, they would be eligible.
