With a bang, a cup fell onto the magnificent marble floor. The fragments exploded in all directions and hit the glass beads of a sculpture nearby, making a crisp sound.
"I've given you so many days, and you're just going to tell me this result?"
An old man was holding an expensive-looking wooden stick, looking at the man in front of him with gloomy eyes, as if he wanted to kill him.
If you don’t look at the messy world outside the window on the top floor of a high-rise building, just look at the solid wood conference table and leather sofa here, just look at the Martell Tricentenary Master Limited Edition Cognac opened here, and just look at the clean and tidy appearance of this old man.
It’s hard for you to imagine that the brocaded Tang suit has already entered the apocalypse for more than a month.
"Mr. Wang, I know Xiaodao's death makes you sad, but now that it has happened, we don't have to worry. As long as those people who killed Xiaodao Akuan are still alive, we can find them. It's the end of the world now, and they can't go too far.
of."
Another middle-aged man sitting around the solid wood conference table raised his cup and took a sip of the amber liquid inside. He looked at the old man holding the wooden stick with his small eyes, gloating a little.
"Humph, the person who died is not your relative, so of course you shouldn't be anxious."
"Aren't you more than just a relative?"
"Tong Yang!"
The two people were facing each other across the conference table, glaring at each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
Doctor Mu, who was standing aside, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really a little scared just now because of this very elegant thing. The old man was Xiaodao's father, Wang Fulin, one of the five giants of the Royal Trade Union, a real one-star powerful man.
A professional with terrifying strength. As an auxiliary professional pharmacist, he was an existence that he could not afford to offend.
This time, Dr. Mu, who was supposed to provide support, did not arrive on time, causing the deaths of Xiaodao Akuan and the Zhang family brothers and sisters. Although he does not need to take full responsibility, part of the responsibility cannot be escaped. If this old man really killed Dr. Mu,
I guess it won't be too much of a burden.
Fortunately, Boss Tong Yangtong still protects Dr. Mu.
"enough!"
The person sitting in the middle wears a mask, with a pale background and four black circles of different sizes representing facial features that make people look creepy.
He is the boss of the Royal Union. As for his identity, only the other four giants may know something about it. It is impossible for a second-tier leader of the Royal Union like Dr. Mu to know.
Everyone's eyes fell on the president who was wearing a mask and sounded like he was not too old.
"Continue to look for these people, and we must find the whereabouts of the Rod of Nature." The big leader tapped the table with his hand with an emerald wrench, and his tone became gloomy, "The people from the Retail Chamber of Commerce are here, and this time the transaction list is
There is a two-star evolution potion inside, I think this should be something everyone wants."
The other four giants in the room and the one or two subordinates they each brought with them immediately began to whisper among themselves. The temptation of the two-star potion was too great.
Among the giants in the room now, only the president is a two-star evolutionist. Where did this bottle of two-star evolution potion come from? How much did the royal union pay? Only these giants themselves know!
That was obtained in exchange for the interests of the entire union! If they hadn't been lucky enough to find a colored roulette wheel, maybe the Royal Union, except for this two-star evolver and some one-star evolvers, wouldn't be as strong as the more famous survivor teams outside.
powerful.
"Without the Rod of Nature, what do you want this time?" Tong Yang straightened his body, obviously very interested in this bottle of two-star evolution potion. The same was true for other giants. Everyone wanted to become a two-star evolutionist as soon as possible.
The big leader pondered for a moment, "People, a lot of people."
Several giants looked at each other, very puzzled.
VIP!
What do you want people for?
Now in the apocalypse, ordinary people are useless. They have no effect other than consuming food. If they are not managed well, they will launch a rebellion or something like that. When every force recruits ordinary people, they will do what they can, and there will never be any
As many people as there are people.
And after the end of the world, although many people have mutated, been killed, infected, and eaten, there are still a huge number of people surviving. It is not difficult to recruit people, right? Just around the city.
If you look for them, you can find dozens or more in a day.
What does that mysterious and powerful Retail Chamber of Commerce want people to do?
The two-star evolution potions last time were all replaced by attribute stones, equipment with light, one-star evolution potions, and immunity potions. Why do you need people this time?
"How much do they want?"
Another vice president of the Royal Trade Union asked slowly.
"If it's an ordinary person, they need 20,000 people. If it's a one-star evolved person, one one-star evolved person is equivalent to a thousand people."
"They still want evolved people?" This time it was Xiaodao's father, Wang Fulin, who spoke.
"What are they going to do?"
"They shouldn't be short of evolution potions, right? I heard they have more than a dozen roulette wheels alone."
"Are they going to expand their military?"
"Then aren't we in danger?"
People in the room were talking a lot. When encountering such a thing, the first instinct of people in the apocalypse is a sense of crisis. This is a very normal thing.
"Shut up!"
The president of Royal Mask roared, and everyone fell silent instantly.
"Although we found the two-star roulette wheel and paid a huge price to occupy it, turning the roulette wheel requires level 2 magic crystals. We can only turn it two or three times after saving it for a week. After half a month, a bottle of two-star potion is enough."
did not receive."
As he said that, Guild Master Mask paused, "Not only did we not get the two-star evolution potion, the explosion of the color wheel caused us heavy losses, and the death of Xiaodao Kuan and the others greatly reduced our strength. What we need to consider now is how to increase
Strength, rather than understanding why retail merchants who can increase our strength need people! Do you understand?"
Everyone in the room nodded in unison.
"Then do it now. You have five days to find 20,000 people."
Tong Yang frowned and said in a low voice: "President, are you pressed for time? There are dangers outside now, and we actually don't have many manpower. We have to capture 20,000 people in less than a week. This is a bit..."
President Mask did not speak immediately, but picked up the wine glass in front of him, swayed the liquid inside and said slowly: "There are some gathering places that we originally wanted to turn into sources of magic crystals, materials, and news, so they have been very
You're welcome. If we want to get good things from him that can be exchanged for the two-star evolution potion, we all take the trading route. Unfortunately, everything is meaningless now. The things have been taken away by others, and the gathering place is no longer under our control. Then
We won’t be polite anymore, right?”
"For example, Ulan County."
……………………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming gained a lot from his time in Jedi. He was originally in a good mood, but he became extremely bad after hearing the three words "Retail Chamber of Commerce".
He didn't talk to others about why this happened, because he had never experienced it or seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't understand what the retail association meant in the last ten years, which represented a bloody, inhumane, and public enemy of mankind.
If I had to use any words to describe Ye Zhongming's feelings about the Retail Chamber of Commerce, it would be four words.
A bunch of beasts.
For everyone who has survived for ten years in the apocalypse, his hands must be stained with blood. It is not an exaggeration to call everyone an executioner.
To be called a beast by such a person can only be imagined the reputation of the Retail Chamber of Commerce.
But what Ye Zhongming didn't expect was that the Retail Chamber of Commerce would also show up just after he arrived. If possible, he really didn't want to run into this giant-like existence from his previous life now.
However, the previous life created the beast-like Retail Chamber of Commerce, and also created the determined Ye Zhongming. If not necessary, he would never provoke the Retail Chamber of Commerce at this stage, but he also knows that sometimes things happen or not
It has little to do with his own subjective wishes, so all he can do is to be fully prepared. If there is any conflict with the retail merchant association, then he will give them a harsh blow.
So he decided to use the Sacrifice Gate once after the Jedi harvest, even if it was a bit wasteful at this time.
Taking out the golden epic-level equipment and seeing that the energy lines from the previous scale were still in the gem, Ye Zhongming began to put a lot of materials into it.
These are all harvests from the valley, but Ye Zhongming also has a choice. He left behind materials that can be used to make armor-breaking bullets. After all, in the next year, the use of armor-breaking bullets will sometimes be more than that of the Front Moon.
Taking the materials that were almost exchanged for natural gems, he threw them into the Sacrifice Gate one by one. It would be false to say that he didn't feel distressed. These things will definitely play a big role in the future, especially Ye Zhongming is still a craftsman. Maybe in the future
These things will be used someday.
Looking at the rising energy lines in the gem on the door of sacrifice, Ye Zhongming felt a sense of satisfaction despite feeling distressed.
Maybe I am the only one using golden equipment now.
Even after all the temporarily unused materials were put in, the energy gems of the Sacrifice Gate were still not filled up, and there was still only the last bit left.
Ye Zhongming, who had already estimated the energy, knew that at least tens of thousands of first-level magic crystals would be needed for just this one.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Zhongming was reluctant to throw the magic crystal into it. After all, the magic crystal was going to be used now, so he directly threw in a piece of ghost gold.
Seeing that a piece of ghost gold, which can greatly improve the quality of equipment and even possess very special skills, just disappeared, Ye Zhongming grinned in distress.
The gems were finally filled up after the ghost gold was put in, but there was no change at all. Ye Zhongming was stunned and didn't understand what happened. After thinking about it, he tried to put in another first-level magic crystal. He found that,
At the base of the stone, a brighter energy appears.
I'll wipe it! You don't have to fill it with gems again, do you?
This thought made Ye Zhongming feel bad. It was indeed possible to pack up all his belongings again, but it would definitely be a loss-making business. One dollar would be less than one dollar spent!
What's more, what if after filling it up, the Sacrifice Gate lets you fill up the gem again for a third time?
Is this thing so stupid?
Ye Zhongming felt sweat on his forehead.
Forcing himself to calm down, he took the Sacrifice Door and looked around, feeling that it shouldn't be like this.
Ye Zhongming thought for a moment, then his heart moved, and he tried to gently tap the gem with his hand.
As if some switch was touched, the gem began to have brilliance flowing on it, and the golden door of sacrifice also lit up and gave off a dazzling light.
The light emitted by the gemstone was not dazzling, on the contrary, it was very soft. Ye Zhongming thought it would disappear in an instant, but instead of disappearing, the light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned from white to gold.
The door slowly rose and turned into a beam of light in a moment.
This beam of light continued to grow longer, and soon touched the roof, but the roof seemed to not exist in front of this light. It was penetrated without any blocking effect, and the golden beam of light penetrated outside the house.
Quickly running out of the room, Ye Zhongming came outside and saw that the golden beam of light became bigger and longer without any obstruction, reaching into the sky!
Ye Zhongming's forehead is covered with black lines. It's night now. This golden light is so bright that the whole Yingcheng can see it!
Xia Lei and Mo Ye were also alarmed, and Dihuang Wan was so frightened by the light beam that the hair on his body stood up and he barked at the light beam.
The team members were awakened and came out with weapons in hand. They saw the golden light pillar and were also shocked and speechless.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
It is not difficult to tell from the position of the golden light pillar that that is Ye Zhongming's room. It is obvious that this thing was made by Ye Zhongming, but the movement was too loud.
"Pack your things and we'll leave right away!"
Ye Zhongming gave the order, knowing that the situation here would soon cause countless troubles, zombie monsters would immediately gather, and the survivors would come because of this golden light, and they would think something good had appeared.
At that time, once you encounter Ye Zhongming's team, no explanation will be of any use. They will be attacked without hesitation, hoping to kill them and get the golden treasure.
Ye Zhongming is indeed confident in the strength of himself and his team, but he has not yet become an enemy of all the forces in Yingcheng.
The entire Yingcheng woke up because of this golden light. The roars of zombies and the screams of monsters were heard by the wind. The situation became extremely serious due to this accident.
Fortunately, this golden light did not last long. After more than ten seconds, the golden light began to gradually fade, and then slowly disappeared into the sky.
Ye Zhongming hurried back to his room and saw an antique square box appearing under the mirror-like light door of the Sacrifice Door on the ground.
