Throwing the remaining half of Xiaoyu Shui to the naughty child, Gu Chen immediately turned his attention to the pioneers headed by the soldier. At this time, the tense atmosphere that once enveloped the square had disappeared, replaced by a mixture of doubts and excitement.
The restless atmosphere is not a suitable place for reminiscing and chatting.
"Let's talk over there?"
Gu Chen pointed to an empty warehouse next to the square, and the soldier over there nodded with a wry smile.
Seeing both the irritable little spear user and the fierce female flame user obediently follow the master and walk towards the empty warehouse next to them, the residents of the settlement were speechless again. On the contrary, the soldiers who had been suppressed before could not lift their heads.
He let out a big sigh of relief.
On the other hand, seeing the pioneers surrender and leave, Zhang Ji's originally frosty expression softened slightly. He glanced coldly at the residents and gave orders to the soldiers with a wave of his hand.
"Set up a cordon next to the armored vehicle, and anyone who crosses without permission will be beaten with sticks."
"yes!"
The soldiers raised their chests and raised their heads one by one, and responded to the superior officer in a uniform voice.
But this time, no one dared to challenge the authority of the government.
……………………
Based on the consideration of fighting against monsters, pioneers often adopt a three-person team consisting of vanguard, rearguard and auxiliary. Among the three pioneers, the soldier is the vanguard, the female flame envoy is the rearguard, and the villain spearman is the roamer.
The auxiliary of the battle formation. Just from the balanced combination of professions, we can see that they are a group of quite experienced pioneers.
Except for the female flame user who can easily summon a big flame ball, the strength of the armor and spear user is also remarkable. If the three of them fight together, not even twenty or thirty monsters will pose a threat. If we add in the copycat fortifications
Due to the favorable geographical location, it would not be a problem to double or triple the quantity.
With such powerful pioneers stationed in this settlement, it’s no wonder that the people of Kino are confident in holding on to the settlement, and Gu Chen also understands this. However, what makes it difficult for him to understand is why this group of pioneers appeared in Kino? After all, this group of pioneers is stationed in the settlement.
The pioneer group was none other than Guo Bei who had accepted his commission a while ago and went to the Stone Pine Forest to collect materials.
Guo Bei's group, headed by the warrior Guo Bei and joined by the spearman Shazu and the fireman Hongyu, has a close relationship with Gu Chen. From conquering the Nether Lord to exploring the stone ant nest, they both left a good impression on each other.
While exploring the stone ant nest, Gu Chen found the red stones left behind by the small beasts. He was impressed by Guo Beizhu's skill as a pioneer, so he entrusted him to help collect the red stones from the ant holes. Gewufang also paid a large deposit for this.
.
Gu Chen thought it wouldn't take long for the results to come out, but he didn't expect that there would be no news about Guo Bei's group after they went to Stone Pine Forest. Even in the craze of the Pioneer Collection Guide Chaos Ruins Palace, Guo Bei's group was not seen.
.Gu Chen had asked many people about the whereabouts of Guo Bei's group, but he had not received any definite response, which made him quite worried.
However, worries were worries, and Gu Chen never expected that he would run into Guo Bei's group who had disappeared in the Kinoji.
"Brother Guo Bei, why are you gathering in Kinye?" After entering the wooden house, there was no one else around, so Gu Chen couldn't wait to ask the soldier. "I haven't heard from you for so long. I was worried that something happened to you. Can you tell me?
What's going on?"
"It's a long story, eh, actually there's no particular reason..."
The soldier in question scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Zazu and Red Fish, and explained in a tone of embarrassment and helplessness.
"After accepting your commission from Mr. Gu, we went to work in the Stone Pine Forest. The materials you wanted were all hidden underground, and that damn anthill was extremely complicated. We wandered around in it for seven or eight days before we finally found it...
…”
"Young Master Gu, didn't you ask for confidentiality? We couldn't find anyone to help. As a result, it took several weeks to transport the red stones out of the ground. Only then did I realize the hard work of the quarrymen... In addition, with that
I don’t know how many times the Bianhuang monster has done it, but the elixir you gave me, Mr. Gu, has been completely consumed..."
"The quarried red stones weigh several thousand kilograms. It is easy to move them out of the ground. It is impossible to transport them with hammer-headed birds. After discussion, we decided to order a cage truck to transport them... If we order a cage truck, in addition to
Among the few shops in this city is Kinoji. The prices in this city are not low, and Kinoji is not far from the Stone Pine Forest. I happen to have acquaintances here who can find it cheaper, so I ran over here..."
"It's not easy to order a cage cart that can hold the pile of red stones. I had to persuade my second uncle to help me put the order in front of the queue. I didn't expect that something would happen while I was waiting... Oddly enough, in the past, people near the settlement
There aren’t many weird monsters, but this year, for some reason, they come in groups one after another, so it’s very difficult to guard against them..."
"Later, the cage truck was ready, but we couldn't leave even though we were helping to defend the village and fight monsters. We were thinking of staying in the settlement for the summer before returning to the city, but I didn't expect that you, Mr. Gu, would come to our door yourself...
Hey, thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for the previous battle. If you hadn't stepped in to mediate, I really don't know how it would have ended."
After saying this, Guo Bei shivered with fear and raised his eyes to look at the Flame Envoy and Spear Envoy over there.
"Hey, don't you have anything to say?"
"Well..."
The cause of the riot was the female envoy who came out to stir up trouble indiscriminately, and it was the villain's violent temper that made the situation difficult to end. Although I didn't think it was anything at the time, when I calm down and think about it now, the two of them realized that at that time
The people have already dragged Guo Beizhu and Kinoji to the edge of the cliff. Once they fall, they will face an irreversible end.
The reason why he didn't fall was because Gu Chen came to the rescue.
In other words, Guo Bei's group owed someone a large favor before even paying off the original one.
"Yes, if I had known that the car was Mr. Gu's, I would never have moved it."
"I don't know if those officials are here with you, otherwise I would be more polite to them."
Probably understanding this, although the spearman Zazu and the fireman Hongyu had tough words, they all bowed their heads and softened their attitudes. The soldier Guo Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and did not want his companions to be too embarrassed, so he turned to Gu Chen to ask
With.
"Speaking of Mr. Gu, why did you come to Kinoji? Moreover, the messenger seems to be very familiar with you?"
"I'm not familiar with him, it's just official business." Gu Chen shook his head.
The soldier's narration finally made him understand the reason why Guo Beizu had been "hidden" for so long. It was really good that the three of them were safe and sound. Considering that Guo Beizu basically had both ears blocked during this period, in order to avoid the unnecessary situation
It was complicated. Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and explained the situation in detail.
"Liyang Mansion received a letter from Kinoji asking for help, but they were unable to mobilize troops for the time being. It happened that the armored vehicles of Gewufang needed to be tested, so they were temporarily rented to Liyang Mansion for use. The messenger just now was in charge. I
If so, I was supposed to only be responsible for driving the armored car, and I didn’t expect it would cause any problems.”
