Chapter 2410 Round-up and Confrontation (two chapters in one)
"Why are there so many people there?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking on the street when he suddenly saw many people gathering in front of a shop in front of him and was very confused.
After a while, he came to the crowd, and soon he knew what was going on.
It turns out that this store has opened a new store, and as long as you make purchases in the store today, the discounts are very strong, and now passers-by are watching.
"Our store specializes in defensive spiritual weapons. If you are in need of this, you can come to the store to have a look." The store owner said to the passers-by with a smile.
After a while, many people walked into the store.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, thought for a while and followed the crowd to the store to take a look.
More than half an hour later, there were still many customers in the store.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the store at this time.
He just took a look around the store and found that this store sells quite a variety of defensive weapons, but the price is a bit expensive. Even if it is discounted, it is not something he can afford now.
"Should I get some money and buy a defensive weapon?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead just looked at a lot of defensive weapons in the store, and he liked several of them quite a bit.
Because I didn’t have much money, I could only watch it to satisfy my eyes.
Now with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the pig-headed captain thought carefully and thought that he could earn money by doing tasks and spend a little time to buy a favorite defensive weapon.
"I have to stay for a few more days anyway, so why not take advantage of these few days to earn more money and buy a defensive spiritual weapon."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made up his mind and quickly headed to the place where he received the mission.
There are more people coming here to make money today. Fortunately, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is stronger than most people here.
He can take on tasks that others can't, so he doesn't have to compete with most people for some tasks.
"This escort mission pays very well! This is the mission."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead screened the tasks, and then happily went to report to the person who issued the tasks.
…………
Time passed, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and most of the sky was dyed red by the setting sun.
There was a team outside the city slowly approaching the city. This team was followed by a truck with a large and powerful alien beast on it.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead rode a horse and followed at the back of the team.
The escort mission he took today was to protect a young man from a wealthy family who was out for training. This mission was relatively easy.
Children from rich families came out to practice and did not dare to stray too far from Zecheng.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was a bit overwhelmed by the whole process today, but he still liked this task very much because he could get a generous reward so easily.
Entering the city, the rich man's personal entourage distributed the rewards, and then made an agreement with everyone to gather here again tomorrow.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead put away his money bag, then said goodbye to the teammates around him, returned the rented horse, and called a carriage on the roadside to return to the inn.
"Uu."
The driver stopped the carriage, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead paid the money and got out of the carriage.
At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the street, and passers-by stopped one after another, and then hurriedly retreated to both sides of the street.
Several cavalrymen galloped down the street, running towards the city lord's palace.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on the roadside, watching the cavalry leaving, guessing that these cavalry must be delivering letters.
"They are so anxious. Did something major happen? I hope it won't affect my mission in the next few days."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked away, and then walked into the inn. As usual, the waiter came forward and enthusiastically asked if he wanted dinner.
After working outside all day, he was a little hungry. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, then asked the other party to prepare dinner, and then continued to walk to his guest room.
"Tomorrow is still a security mission. That rich kid spends a lot of money. If he keeps coming for a few more days, I will be able to save enough money for my shortfall."
Returning to the guest room, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened the cabinet and put today's reward in the cabinet.
He came to the table, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water.
After resting for a while, the waiter came to the guest room with some dishes.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, washed up after dinner and immediately went to bed to rest.
Tomorrow morning, he will get up early.
Although today's escort mission is easy, it still consumes a lot of energy. Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow.
…………
Night falls.
Two figures wearing bamboo hats walked slowly on the street, looking at some shops on the street from time to time.
Today, the two investigators spent another whole day wandering around the city, most of which was spent visiting shops selling spiritual weapons to see if there were any interesting spiritual weapons.
"Boom."
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the distance.
Passers-by on the street were startled, and then they raised their heads and looked at the place where the explosion occurred.
"boom."
"boom."
The explosion disappeared, followed by an extremely loud collision.
"There are people fighting over there," the short investigator said.
"Should we go over and take a look?" the tall investigator asked.
"Come over and have a look, but I don't want to get too close," the short investigator said.
"Yeah." The tall investigator nodded.
After the two people made a decision, they quickly headed to the place where the fighting broke out.
Many soldiers received the order and ran at full speed in the streets.
Some passers-by who had no time to dodge were directly knocked to the ground by the soldiers.
When the two investigators arrived at the scene, they saw many soldiers surrounding a dozen men in black.
"Surrender obediently, and I will spare your lives..." the burly soldier captain shouted.
The man in black curled his lips when he heard this and said with great disdain, "If you want to fight, fight and stop talking nonsense."
"Come on." The burly soldier captain yelled, and then led his men to continue to besiege the man in black.
"These guys are quite brave," the short investigator said.
"Are they the rebels who rebelled against the pig-headed lords?" the tall investigator said.
"I don't know about this, but with so many soldiers surrounding them, these people probably won't be able to hold on for long," the short investigator said.
"We'd better retreat a little further. We're too close here and can easily be affected," the tall investigator said.
…………
"Boom."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was resting in bed when a sudden explosion woke him up.
"What happened?"
He opened the quilt covering himself and got out of bed. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the window and pushed it open.
The bright full moon hangs high in the sky, pouring silver-white moonlight into the city, and a black smoke column rises. Now many passers-by on the street are looking at the place where the explosion occurred.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned suddenly when he saw the abnormality not far away.
He has rich combat experience and knows that a war is breaking out ahead just by hearing the noise.
"Who is so bold as to cause trouble in the city?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead observed for a moment and found that the sound of fighting was gradually approaching his location.
Not long after, several men in black appeared on the street, and passers-by were frightened into hiding.
"You guys stop here." Soldiers armed with weapons chased after him.
The injured man in black tried his best to escape, and the two sides kept a certain distance.
"These guys should be rebels." The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw the dress of the man in black and had some guesses in his mind.
He was very disgusted with the rebels.
If he hadn't come here secretly, he would have rushed to help.
The hunted man in black gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the street.
The noisy streets were full of discussions, and the passers-by who were hiding were still frightened.
If the fleeing men in black stopped to fight, many of these hiding passers-by would be affected.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, closed the window and lay down on the bed again.
He looked at the ceiling, thoughts in his mind diverging.
The sounds of fighting outside gradually diminished until they disappeared.
Under the vigorous siege of the soldiers in the city, many men in black were caught.
Originally, the street was going to be noisy for a while, but now because of the incident involving the man in black, passers-by did not dare to stay too long on the street and went home one after another.
…………
Blue Star, there is a city on the edge of the endless desert.
There is a lot of green around the city, and these plants are all artificially planted.
The barrier composed of these plants blocks the desert and protects the city from being invaded by the desert.
The crooked moon sheds moonlight on the desert, and occasionally terrifying beast roars can be heard in the deserted desert.
If you observe carefully, you will find that some strange beasts in the desert are slowly moving in the same direction.
During the day, the temperature in the desert is very high, so many strange animals choose to hide.
The temperature in the desert drops rapidly at night, only about six or seven degrees, and in some places it drops below zero.
Recently, there have been frequent heavy rains in the desert. Although the evaporation capacity of the desert is very large, the rain evaporated within a short time and could not retain the rainwater.
But some oases can still store rainwater. Because of the rain, the water resources in the oases have become more abundant than before.
At this time, the strange beast approaching the oasis noticed that there was fire in the oasis.
Several investigators were resting. One of them suddenly realized that danger was approaching, woke up quickly, and shouted to his colleagues.
"There are several strange beasts approaching us, please wake up."
All the investigators woke up, and at this time, the roar of a beast sounded in the distance.
The investigators holding weapons saw more than a dozen strange beasts appearing in different directions. At this moment, these strange beasts were staring at humans eagerly.
"Roar……"
The alien beasts did not attack rashly, but stayed in place and kept roaring, as if they wanted to drive these humans away.
I chose to spend the night in the oasis because it is safer to spend the night in the oasis.
The roar of alien beasts and the thought of driving away humans did not deter the investigators present.
The two sides were confronting each other like this, and no one took action rashly.
With the strength of the investigators, if they take action, they can drive away the alien beasts, but currently they don't want to make the matter a big deal, so they have not taken action against these alien beasts.
The alien beasts were very angry when they saw that humans were unwilling to leave.
The alien animals living in this area will come to this oasis if they want to drink water.
After a while, several more strange beasts appeared.
The later alien beasts are not the same as the first alien beasts. If you look closely, you will find that these alien beasts seem to be in a hostile relationship.
"There are more and more alien beasts. I think we should drive away some of them. Otherwise, when their number reaches a certain level, we will not have the advantage if we do it again." An investigator analyzed carefully.
Others thought about it and thought it made sense, so these investigators took the initiative to attack.
"Roar……"
Loud beast roars echoed in the oasis.
"roll."
The investigator waved the weapon in his hand to block a flying alien beast, then raised his foot and kicked out violently, kicking the alien beast away.
The battle lasted very short, and the strange beasts who came here to drink water were very thirsty, and their physical strength had already been reduced.
Now it is even less possible to gain an advantage in a battle with an energetic investigator.
The alien beasts were beaten and retreated steadily. When one alien beast turned around and ran away, the other alien beasts saw it and ran away as well.
Most of the strange beasts ran away, and only a small number of them remained in place. Judging from their condition, they probably would never leave without drinking water.
The investigators did not continue to attack the strange beasts. They returned to the temporary camp to sit down and rest.
The thirsty beast looked at the investigator warily, then slowly walked towards the water source not far away.
"Xiao Chen, keep an eye on them. If these guys don't leave after drinking the water, tell me immediately."
"OK."
An investigator walked away, hiding where the strange beasts could not find him and observing quietly.
For safety reasons, we must keep an eye on these strange beasts. If they have other intentions after drinking the water, these strange beasts must die here tonight.
After more than ten minutes, the alien beast had a satisfied look in its eyes after drinking enough water.
Then these strange beasts glanced at where the investigators were, turned around and left the oasis.
"call……"
The investigator who was secretly monitoring the strange beast was relieved when he saw the other party leaving.
Then he returned to his colleagues and informed them of the alien beast's departure.
"Now that the strange beasts have left, everyone can continue to rest."
"We will set off immediately at dawn tomorrow."
"How long will it take to get to that place?" someone asked.
"We should be able to arrive at our destination at noon tomorrow." the captain replied.
