The hotel where Li Yanting and the others stayed was surrounded by people. Several off-road vehicles were parked on the street. A man was sitting under the tree where a crow died yesterday.
He was a man, wearing leather gloves on his hands and a pair of military boots on his feet. He had dark green overalls tucked into the boots. His long legs looked strong and strong.
The man was probably in his early thirties, with short hair, and the scar across his forehead looked fierce.
Landuo only glanced at it and was so frightened that he hid behind Da Kun.
The man's eyes stayed on He Sheng for a moment. He looked in the direction of the arm on He Sheng's shoulder and met Li Yanting's sharp eyes.
"You are all very powerful, no wonder you are so confident."
The man sneered coldly: "But you don't know that this is the boundary of Qinghe Refuge City, right?"
"Is it appropriate to come here to stay without reporting it to the host?"
The hand on He Sheng's waist tightened, and she quickly looked away from the chair under the man's butt.
"We came here to seek refuge in Qinghe Refuge City." Ji Hui explained.
"It was already very late when I arrived yesterday, so I didn't bother you. I wanted to knock on the city gate again today."
"So, we are all on our own?" The man laughed when he heard the sound, but his deep and hoarse laughter could not be heard as sincere.
"Okay, I'll say the ugly things first. In Qinghe Refuge City, brothers must also settle their accounts."
"The entrance fee to the city is ten crystal cores per person, and the accommodation fee for last night is five crystal cores per person. There will be no arrears."
The man said and gestured to his men, and two of his men, a man and a woman, came over carrying bags and trays.
"After paying the entry fee, I will take you back to the city. You are all supernatural beings. With my introduction, you can find a good job after entering the city," the man said.
"What do you call it?"
Li Yanting asked Lan Duo to take out the crystal core from the space and hand it to the two men, then turned to the man and asked.
"Liucheng He." The man said.
The two subordinates who collected the crystal cores counted the number of crystal cores, nodded towards Liu Chenghe, and then turned to Ji Hui.
There are indeed many crystal nuclei in Ji Hui's team, but if you include the ordinary survivors without special powers behind him, the crystal nuclei are not enough.
"Boss Liu, these ordinary survivors don't have the ability to kill zombies themselves. Do you think you can collect less?" Ji Hui asked.
"The name is Captain Liu, an ordinary person?" Liu Chenghe seemed to have just seen the dozen or so people standing behind him. He poked his head out in surprise and looked excited.
"No charge for ordinary people." Liu Chenghe finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, and the smile on his face looked more sincere.
But the next moment, everyone understood that they had misunderstood his sincerity.
"When ordinary people come to the city, there will be specialized departments to receive and assign jobs, and they will live a good life."
Liu Hecheng changed the subject: "Of course, from now on, their lives belong to the city of refuge, and they will no longer be protected by anyone, unless someone comes to buy them back."
When it comes to this, no one doesn’t understand.
To put it nicely, it means assigning work; to put it badly, it means being sold into slavery.
And the reason why he doesn't charge entry fees from these ordinary survivors is because he himself is profitable.
The dozen or so ordinary survivors standing behind looked at each other, as if they had foreseen their future fate.
"Boss Ji, please help us... we don't want to become slaves!"
"Boss Ji, you are a good person and will do it to the end. Don't abandon us. Please..."
"Boss Ji..."
The pleadings of the people behind him burned Ji Hui's ears, and Ji Hui hesitated. He looked at these people as if they were mourning for their heirs, and he couldn't bear it.
"Brother, we don't have enough crystal nuclei!"
When Ji Fan saw this, she quickly gave her brother a hand, fearing that her brother would be unkind again: "I have done my best to help them get here. They should fend for themselves in the city of refuge. Do you still want to care about them for the rest of their lives?"
"Boss Ji, right?"
Seeing Ji Hui's hesitation, Liu Chenghe finally stood up and walked to Ji Hui's side.
"The price is easy to talk about." Liu Hecheng didn't lower his voice deliberately, and he didn't care who heard him.
"Let's do this. I won't charge you for entering the city, and I will exchange these slaves with you... Oh no, they are ordinary survivors."
"Boss Ji, no! I...we will always be grateful for your kindness. Please help us..."
"I don't want to be a slave...please..."
"Shut up!" Ji Fan suddenly turned around and yelled.
"I won't give you a crystal core. You've been eating ours and using ours. Now you still have the nerve to ask my brother to give you a crystal core? Just dream."
Ji Fan ignored her brother's hesitant expression and looked at Liu Chenghe: "I agree to your proposal on my brother's behalf, but I have a request. Arrange a good place for us."
Ji Hui did not stop him in the end and acquiesced to Ji Fan's approach.
"Deal. Don't worry, our city of refuge treats people with powers quite well."
Liu Chenghe looked at Ji Fan with admiration and looked at him from top to bottom.
"Boss, are you leaving?"
Liu Hecheng's men put away the crystal core and called two more cars over the intercom.
"etc."
Liu Hecheng suddenly stopped smiling. He walked towards Li Yanting, raised his hand, and someone put a dark object into his palm.
"This is my new pet. I was walking the bird yesterday, and I don't know who it was. Suddenly, a thunderbolt came from the sky, and my new pet was gone."
Liu Chenghe and Li Yanting were about the same height. They stood face to face, their eyes met, and hostility surged under the pressure of their aura.
Everyone around felt the pressure falling from the sky, which made people panic and breathless.
"You borrowed a crow to spy on our couple, you are still justified!"
He Sheng asked in turn, pointing at the dark crow, "I didn't chop it into ashes, it was my husband who saved your face!"
"Huh? A couple who sleep alone?"
The focus of Liu Hecheng's words fell on the word "Su Jue". He looked at Li Yanting with a mocking expression, and the words "I don't think you can do it" were written on his face without any concealment.
However, the next moment, a bolt of lightning emitted a dazzling blue-white light in the sky, and with a sharp sound, the dead object in Liu Chenghe's hand was immediately split into half and fell to the ground.
Liu Chenghe's expression changed slightly, and the sarcastic smile suddenly froze on his face.
The strength of the man in front of him was much higher than he imagined.
Liu Chenghe clenched his fists unwillingly, looked into Li Yanting's fearless eyes, and finally uttered two words through gritted teeth.
