[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 49: Raiders of the Magic City ([-])

For the convenience of hunting, those with supernatural powers usually act in small groups, and the people on the riverside do the same.Tang Huai and his party of five belonged to a small and medium-sized team among the many teams of supernatural beings, so they were not conspicuous.

In the past, Konoha was the only one who often went on TV. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he also made some modifications.

Pushing the glasses, Konoha glanced at the group of people, thinking about it.

Everyone did not chat in public, but looked at the place individually. Everyone had different concerns and saw a lot of interesting things along the way.

Walking downstream along the river, after half an hour, everyone finally saw a pile of roadblocks in front of them, with two gates on the left and right. People who come here must demonstrate their abilities to the gatekeepers, but they don’t need to register. Those who go out don’t care. .

Leaving the exclusive area for supernatural beings, everyone saw ordinary people at the roadblock.

In order not to expose themselves and to inquire more information, they did not stay in the area where the supernatural beings were active, but went to the central city where ordinary people and supernatural beings lived together.

"The mission information shows that the expert we are going to rescue is in the area where the supernatural beings gather just now. If necessary, we can come back at night." Miao Shiyi looked around while walking. He saw many important clues just now, but he still needs to Confirm something.

Konoha continued: "It's suitable under the bell tower."

Everyone has no objection. The Bell Tower is the most climbable high-rise building in the area just now, and its location is quite remote.By making good use of the new lightness skills from the top of the bell tower, and then cooperating with climbing some other tall buildings, they can reach almost any corner of the gathering area of ​​supernatural beings.

Uncle Jiu saw the market ahead and was a little interested. He was about to run out of cigarettes, so he had to find a way to get some money to buy cigarettes: "Now? Should we investigate the clues separately or..."

Tang Huai raised his hand abruptly, clamping a thin piece of iron between his fingers.He looked somewhere, and said: "Come back later." He strode away in one direction.

He moved too fast, and it was not easy for others to chatter on the street, but in just a few seconds, his figure disappeared into the crowd.

The moment Tang Huai raised his hand, Miao Shiyi vaguely saw the iron plate with a little pattern painted on it, but he couldn't see it clearly with his eyesight.Turning to Uncle Jiu, Miao Shiyi asked, "Uncle Jiu, what was that thing in his hand just now?"

Uncle Jiu naturally didn't know, but it didn't bother him.He took out an iron nail from his pocket, spread his palm, and absorbed the gold-type energy floating in the air, and the iron nail in his palm turned into an irregular iron piece five centimeters long and one centimeter wide in the blink of an eye. The surrounding outline is smooth, and there are a few plant leaves that are not very clear in the middle of the iron sheet.

Throwing the iron piece to Miao Shiyi, Uncle Jiu said: "Then I'll hang around here, you can do whatever you want, if you want to save people, wait until you get back." Then he went straight to the market.

In a blink of an eye, only Miao Shiyi, Konoha and Shi Mingjie were left.Shi Mingjie looked at the people struggling to carry water by the river, and said, "I'll help these benefactors."

Konoha nodded, and he also went down the steps.

Miao Shiyi took down the backpack, reached in and touched it twice as a cover, and took out a handful of cabbage from the system backpack that had been kept for two days: "Looking for a place to sit?"

Konoha has already seen that the people here are also using the metal coins that are used in the imperial capital, and it is obviously too ostentatious to take out gold bricks and gold bars at this time, so they simply responded: "Okay." They need to synthesize the information they have seen.

The face value of metal coins is small, but their purchasing power is very strong. After all, one dollar is equal to three hundred in the past.Some gadgets are generally bartered.

The cabbage that has been stored for two days is still fresh, as if it was picked up from an empty vegetable garden on the road.Miao Shiyi exchanged a handful of cabbage for one yuan metal coins, and walked into an ordinary teahouse by the river with Konoha.This place was originally a tea house, and the previous business continued after the disaster. However, there were not many people at this time, and many people with supernatural powers were out hunting. Ordinary people probably were not in the mood to come here for consumption.

The waiter was a young girl with no supernatural powers. She took the money and brought a pot of tea and some barbecued meat for the two of them, garnished with two chopped green onions.

"You are familiar with this place, tell me?" After confirming that the people around couldn't hear him, Miao Shiyi took a sip of the tea.

Konoha looked at the rushing river outside: "The domestic base of that organization should still be Q City, and this is just one of their subordinate departments, because the management here is very loose. There are currently government forces infiltrating the mixed-dwelling area, but there are at least four or more Larger organizations govern here, and the government does not have absolute control."

When the two mental workers in the team were discussing the problem, Tang Huai had just arrived at a remote residential building following the code along the way.

The room marked with a code looked ordinary, with the anti-theft door ajar.Tang Huai opened the door and went in. There was only a young man with a baby face inside.

"Fate!" Tang You strode up enthusiastically, and seemed to be planning to give Tang Huai a hug. It would have been more like him if he hadn't held a sharp piece of metal between his fingers when he walked.

Tang Huai raised his hand with his face still paralyzed, and a crossbow flashed in his hand: "Say."

Tang You held his heart together, with an expression that I am very heartbroken, how could you treat me like this: "I just want to catch up with you, can't I!"

Tang Huai didn't bother to answer the conversation at all, and the crossbow in his hand remained motionless.

Tang You dropped his hidden weapon in frustration. It was obviously taught by a group at the beginning, so why can't he always beat Tang Huai!

"sit!"

Different from Tang Huai and Tang Ming, the two undercurrent members, among the disciples of Tang Sect's generation, "Thousand Machines" Tang You's name is even more famous. He is just like a cash cow, specializing in firearm modification.

In the early years, the Tang Sect specially sent him abroad to study with foreign firearms masters. When he returned from his studies, the new weapons made by the Tang Sect sold well all over the place.Tang Huai's favorite sniper rifle was made by Tang You.

Before the disaster, Tang You was ordered to work in Shanghai, but later stayed here because of the disaster.Not long ago, news came from the Tang Sect asking him to stay here to collect all kinds of information and continue to make money.It is an indisputable fact that firearms can enable ordinary people to have certain combat effectiveness.

There are very few gold-type supernatural beings who can accurately copy precision machinery like Uncle Nine. Most people can only copy a rough shape based on the original thing. If they want to be a real gunner, they still need military experts like Tang You to modify it by themselves.So after the end of the world, Tang You really had a very good life in the magic capital.

Knowing that Tang Huai never talked much, Tang You asked first, "Why did you come here?"

Tang Huai put the crossbow on the table beside Tang You: "Do me a favor."

Tang You was more interested in the weapon than Tang Huai's purpose. He picked up the crossbow, checked it over and over carefully, and muttered, "Not bad, who modified it?"

Tang Huai said, "My apprentice."

Just as Tang You opened his mouth to ask, Tang Huai said first, "Talk while doing it."

To deal with the curious baby Tang You, just use the things he is interested in to satisfy his curiosity. Anyway, Tang Sect disciples never mention such things as monetary rewards.

Putting out a set of tools, Tang You disassembled the crossbow, arranged each part separately, polished and assembled them one by one, and occasionally replaced a few of them to increase strength and accuracy.He struggled and asked, "I heard that you were sold for a good price."

Tang Huai lowered his eyes and said one by one: "Go back and ask Tang Xiao. I have taken in three apprentices, and this is one of them who was reformed. We caused trouble in the imperial capital, and the people in power over there are secretly chasing and killing us. Now we are going to To take refuge in another family, you need to take a person from Modu as a gift to that family."

Tang You didn't stop: "Understood. Let me briefly describe the situation here." He paused and organized the sequence of events, "The virus broke out in the devil's city in July, and the high-tech zone in the southwest was destroyed by a group of powerful people more than ten days later. Strong guys occupy it. Those people only allow supernatural beings to enter the high-tech zone. In order to prevent ordinary people from passing by, they allow mutated things to operate in the high-tech zone, so it is more dangerous there. But they never take the initiative to cause trouble. Other magic cities Everyone was driven to the old city to live. Currently, except for those people, there are five relatively powerful groups in Shanghai, basically each of them manages a district."

Tang Huai asked: "Who is closer to the people who occupy the high-tech zone?"

Tang You replied: "Not close, the people over there are purely crazy, saying that ordinary people should all die. The five groups here have many ordinary people, and they have a lot of relatives. People are close, and they can't get along in the magic capital.

"The person we're looking for may be at the Biochemical Technology Research Center. Where's the intelligence over there?"

Tang You stopped what he was doing, racked his brains to think about it, and finally caught a clue in his mind: "I overheard someone talking about it before... There is a place in the high-tech zone guarding a very strong person. A lot of mutated beasts, very bad temper, all trespassers were killed by the things he raised, is that person the 'meeting gift' you are looking for? But he seems to be neither willing to leave the place where he lives, nor Allow others to enter, and do not communicate with any faction."

Tang Huai said: "Then tell me, it is the group with the most acute conflicts with the people in the high-tech zone."

Assembling the polished mechanical parts quickly, Tang You said: "Knife skills. Those people always actively provoke the guys in the high-tech zone, and they often fight. It is more useful to bring some ingredients than guns if they go to defection in the past. Their leader is a cook. "

Taking away the crossbow modified by Tang You, and carrying a stack of metal coins that Tang You gave by the way in his pocket, Tang Huai returned to the riverside.He scanned the bustling crowd, and quickly locked on to the two people by the window in the corner of the teahouse by the river.

Tang Huai sat down and relayed the information Tang You said to Miao Shiyi and Konoha.

After listening, Konoha said: "Master, please go to the Biotechnology Research Center tonight, but don't hurt the beast raised by that man."

Judging from the information revealed by Tang You, that person might not be that easy to talk to.Their purpose is to recruit that person, and they can't do anything that irritates the other party unless it is absolutely necessary.

Miao Shiyi thought for a moment, and said, "Let's make preparations. We'll go out and hunt for ingredients later. We can use the name of a local group to trouble those people in the high-tech zone, and get more information on them by the way."
