Chapter 286 284. The Revenant
Towards the afternoon, there was a survivor market in Jie Dong City.
Soldiers and scavengers walked through the market, setting up stalls or buying supplies.
Su Hong and Wang Chengzhi walked on the path of the market, their faces covered by shadows, making it impossible for outsiders to recognize their appearance.
"Brother, what are we doing here?" Wang Chengzhi asked curiously.
"Go and find out the location of Hole 312 for me and buy some supplies. I need to leave beforehand."
When Wang Chengzhi heard this, he immediately patted his chest, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely handle things properly."
Su Hong nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered that he had not given Wang Chengzhi the funds for his activities, so he asked, "You should have money on you."
"Are there any credits?" Wang Chengzhi checked the terminal. "The alliance heard that I wanted to use the terminal, so they put some credits in it. In addition, last time I went on a mission with Palace Master Yang, the owner of Mohuo Farm gave me another call. I got a lot of credits, which seems to add up to more than 10 million credits.”
Hearing this, Su Hong recalled the balance on his terminal, which seemed to be only a few hundred thousand.
The alliance and Mojo Farm are indeed generous.
The alliance's credit points have become a recognized currency after the end of the world. They are linked to the disaster materials that restrict circulation. Their value is guaranteed. Ten million credit points is really not a small amount.
But for Su Hong, credits are just a bunch of numbers. As soon as he asks for anything he wants, the alliance will find a way to get it without using credits at all.
So when he looked at the credits on Wang Chengzhi's terminal, he sighed without feeling too much.
"Okay, go ahead."
Watching Wang Chengzhi enter the market, Su Hong's figure disappeared and entered the ruined urban area.
He returned to the entrance to the cave where he found the Holy Spirit of Fire last time, went deep into the cave, passed through the collapsed passage, and entered the buried giant hall.
Everything in the Giant's Hall remains the same, with huge skeletons kneeling on the ground, telling the story of the Giant's magnificence.
The flame in the middle of the altar has long been extinguished, indicating that the Holy Spirit of Flame has not yet revived.
"Okay." Originally, he wanted to catch up with old friends, but now it seems there is no chance.
Su Hong turned into a shadow and left the hole, and soon returned to the market.
He stood there and waited for a while, and Wang Chengzhi came back. Behind him was a girl with black eyes, staring at him curiously.
The girl is wearing a strict tactical uniform with a gun hanging on her waist. If you ignore her delicate face, she will not look out of place among the crowd at the market. She looks like a seasoned wilderness hunter.
"Senior brother!" Wang Chengzhi waved his arms after seeing Su Hong return.
Su Hong looked at the girl behind Wang Chengzhi who was like a follower, "I asked you to find out empty information. Why did you kidnap a girl back?"
Wang Chengzhi looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "No, the location of Hole No. 312 is relatively hidden and dangerous, so I just wanted to find someone to lead the way there."
The girl stuck her head out, smiled, and said hello, "Hello, my name is Zhang Manman, your guide today."
Su Hong nodded and asked Wang Chengzhi: "How many credits did you give her?"
"Ten... ten thousand, it doesn't seem to be much." Wang Chengzhi said uncertainly.
"..." Su Hong understood now. It turned out that Manman regarded them as nouveau riche. No wonder he smiled so brightly.
If he and Zhang Manman's roles were reversed, maybe he would laugh even happier.
"Brother, is it too much?" Wang Chengzhi realized something was wrong.
"Forget it, the money has been given."
Su Hong waved, "Miss Zhang Manman, lead the way."
"Friends, free and easy!" Zhang Manman gave a thumbs up, "Also, I'm not trying to trick you. I've really been to Cave No. 312. I know how many monsters there are and what shit they pooped."
"I guarantee that you will not encounter any danger when you go in."
"By the way, you haven't said what you are going to do in Hole No. 312?" Su Hong smiled lightly and said: "We want to go into the deepest part to find something. Miss Zhang Manman, you won't even ask for information about your employer. Bar."
"That's not true..." the girl muttered.
"Since we're looking for something, that's easy."
"Don't blame me for not warning you. The swamp in Cavern 312 has not solidified yet, and there are still living giant insects moving around. You have to follow closely. If you provoke the giant insects, I can't help you."
"Well, let's go." Su Hong made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Manman led the way and took Su Hong and the two of them onto an off-road vehicle.
Zhang Manman, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and smiled: "Don't worry, you two, there will be no fare."
Wang Chengzhi: "Actually, we are not that stingy."
The girl waved her hand and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
The off-road vehicle started, and the old hunter sitting in the driver's seat said happily: "You, little girl, can still take over the work. At least I won't be hungry if I cooperate with you."
"That's right, Uncle Sun, you don't even know who you are cooperating with."
Wang Chengzhi asked curiously: "Most of the undead people staying in Xie Dong City are men. What are you doing here as a girl?"
"Of course, I don't mean anything else."
"Guests." Zhang Manman turned around and said, "Looking at how generous you are, it's okay to talk to you."
"In your eyes, what is there here?"
Wang Chengzhi looked at the ruins and weeds along the road, "Uh, it's deserted."
"That's wrong, there are opportunities everywhere here." The girl rubbed her hands, "It's not as interesting to go out as staying in the shelter. Instead of making the little money of ordinary people, it's better to make the money of immortals."
She narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "After all, the immortals are all rich owners, just like the two of you."
Su Hong said: "It's true that there are opportunities, but there are also dangers everywhere."
Uncle Sun smiled and said: "Guest, don't worry about her. This little girl lived in Xie Dong City before the end of the world and is very familiar with this place."
"Strange to say, every time a giant insect attacks, she always runs the fastest, as if she already knew about it."
"Follow her and nothing will happen."
Su Hong was thoughtful and did not continue to ask.
Wang Chengzhi and Zhang Manman answered questions, and soon they stopped in the middle of a dilapidated commercial street.
The cars parked on the roadside have long since been scrapped, and weeds have broken through the soil and filled the gaps in the masonry and concrete.
The shop signs on the shops on both sides were faded and unclear. These shop doors had been closed before the apocalypse, and some rolling shutter doors were crushed into a ball of scrap metal by brute force. It seemed that a monster had passed by here.
Sun Bo said: "I can only send you here. Remember to contact me when you return."
"Two distinguished guests, let's get out of the car."
Zhang Manman opened the car door and jumped off the ground.
Su Hong got out of the car and watched the SUV leave. Zhang Manman took them into a small alley.
The girl walked ahead and introduced: "This old commercial street lost its popularity before the end of the world. No one usually comes here."
"It just so happens that my family used to live near here."
