As the door opened, Li Yelai saw a room filled with smoke and filled with wine bottles.
There were four men and four disheveled women sitting in the room.
"Uh, you guys are quite busy?" Li Yelai paused and said, "Do you have time?"
"Brother, why are you here?" Xu Shi stood up enthusiastically, nodded and bowed. The face-changing speed is unmatched.
He quickly made way for Li Yelai to come into the room and take a seat.
Obviously he is in his thirties, but he calls a young man in his early twenties his brother.
The contrast between before and after made the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce look strange.
But they didn’t dare to complain. Instead, they tried their best to smile as friendly as possible.
Some passed cigarettes, some passed fire, some opened wine, and some asked the pub to send a few more girls.
But when he saw the little mad king next to Li Yelai , they all changed their words decisively and asked the woman in the room to leave.
In short, they were as friendly as if they had met their own brothers.
They have also seen this young man.
This is an employee from an antique shop in Dongcheng, who is also an official, and a ruthless person who specializes in handling matters in that area!
It is a more powerful and violent organization than the Guards Hall and the City Defense Army. In their eyes, this kind of person is similar to the Iron Guard.
At that time, he single-handedly defeated several illegal psychics from the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce.
They were all present, and several of them were controlled by 'Ange's' ability and forced to attack him. If it weren't for Li Yelai's kindness, they would have died long ago.
When such ruthless people come to the wilderness, the danger becomes even more terrifying. There is no order in the wilderness, and people often speak according to their fists.
Psykers often have the biggest fists. They've experienced it.
Even if he attacks everyone now, they are unable to respond.
In this case, instead of calling me brother, you can call me grandpa!
But Xu Shi felt miserable because his experience was full of twists and turns.
Last time they accidentally came into contact with Greedy Gold Coin, and then 'Ange' used his ability to control members of the Chamber of Commerce to attack Li Yelai.
This directly angered the official, who gave him a severe lesson, and the illegally hired wild psyker was arrested.
If the Chamber of Commerce had not helped Jucheng transport food, and the culprit was that Brother An, the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce would probably not exist.
But the Chamber of Commerce has never recovered. After the No. 71 fog incident, the government needed a large number of chambers of commerce to transport supplies.
The Hongjiang Chamber of Commerce also took advantage of the east wind and slowly recovered. And secretly hired wild psykers in the wilderness, and once again began to take some dangerous but highly rewarding trade routes.
It seems that things are finally getting better.
However, this time the transportation encountered another problem, and two wild psykers were lost. There will be no trade routes in a short time.
Xu Shi had no choice but to go back and find a tavern in the gathering place, drink some boring wine and say some harsh words.
As a result, before the harsh words were finished, the real owner came.
Fortunately, fortunately, the half-sentence just now was not spoken.
Xu Shi was glad in his heart.
At this time, he noticed the little mad king behind Li Yelai.
The indifferent eyes of the little mad king made Xu Shi feel frightened. It was as if his little thoughts had been seen through. He was so scared that his smile was a little stiff.
"This is my teammate." Li Yelai introduced, and continued: "Okay, boss Xu Shi, you don't need to call me brother, I should be younger than you. Just call me my code name. , give us a quieter environment, I heard that you are in some trouble."
"Okay!" Xu Shi was stunned, and then nodded in surprise.
He knows Li Yelai's identity and strength, if Li Yelai comes forward.
Maybe they can sort out the trouble and keep shipping.
Seeing that the people from the Red Body Chamber of Commerce were so polite, the Little Mad King said thoughtfully: "It seems that your relationship is not bad."
Li Yelai thought to himself if he could defeat a group of them. , it would be a good idea to arrest their psykers.
"You can't get to know each other without fighting, and you can't get to know each other without fighting." Xu Shi explained with a smile.
Soon, everyone moved to a clean box.
After seeing Li Yelai and Xiao Kuang Wang sitting down, Xu Shicai rubbed his hands and spoke out the dilemma he was facing.
The fleet of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce is quite large, with ten large trucks and twenty-three off-road vehicles.
More than eighty people, most of whom are experienced scavengers, own firearms, pistols and even rifles.
In a certain gathering place, two wild psykers were hired at a high price.
This size and firepower are enough for them to run rampant in the wilderness.
Dangers in the wilderness often come from bandits, wild beasts, or some weird things.
Needless to say about the bandits, with the firepower of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce, we still don’t know who will be eaten.
The same goes for beasts, which can only pose a threat to scavengers who act alone and have little equipment. In front of firearms, no matter whether you are a big brown bear or a Siberian tiger, you are still a meal of meat.
This is also the reason why the Red Guard Chamber of Commerce dares to take long-distance business orders.
In the post-disaster world, due to technological gaps, communication between giant cities is very difficult.
You can still contact those in the same city circle, but it is difficult to contact those in different city circles.
The harsh environment and the radiation range of the restricted area make it difficult for people from different urban areas to travel between them.
Major disaster restricted areas are spread across the vast land, and the creatures in the restricted areas and extraordinary creatures will also be active nearby. Human beings who come close often never come back.
Over time, humans have explored safer trade routes.
But it is just safer. As many caravans are walking, they find that there are fewer or more people in the caravan.
When I wake up the next day, the whole caravan is mysterious. There are also many cases of disappearances. Weird and dangerous. But the benefits of long-distance business are huge. For example, Yaoqing Jucheng's specialty white camellia is very popular in Border City No. 3.
The core fuel of the lava mining city is a military resource that every giant city is willing to purchase in large quantities. It is also an exclusive substance for official caravans.
This time, the Red Guard Chamber of Commerce first purchased a large amount of special products in the border city city circle, and then planned to go to the city circle where Bashu Giant City and Shuchuan Giant City are located to dump them, and then purchase materials in the local giant city and return to the border city.
If the round trip is successful, the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce will have dozens of times the profit. This is an unimaginable huge profit!
Maybe we can make some extra money on the way. Of course, in front of officials like Li Yelai and Xiao Kuangwang, they muttered for a long time before saying that in some giant cities, special things would be purchased at high prices.< br>
Including but not limited to forbidden objects, extraordinary creatures, psychic weapons, strange substances, etc.
These are occasionally encountered in abandoned cities or dangerous wilderness.
An unlucky caravan accidentally obtained the old skin of an extraordinary creature and sold it at a high price in the giant city.
Actually, there are a small number of taboo items that were discovered by scavengers or caravans in the wild. They are really good at picking things up.
"If you encounter something like this, notify the nearest giant city as soon as possible. You should also be aware of the dangers of forbidden objects." Li Yelai clicked his tongue.
"What you said is true, and we understand it deeply." Xu Shi felt miserable. He should have handed over the greedy gold coins directly to the officials at that time, and he could have received good compensation, and maybe he could even work with the officials. Go online. But greed destroyed all possibilities
And this time, it was a bad start.
A few days after the Hongjiang Chamber of Commerce set out, they ran into trouble.
Their route needs to pass through an abandoned big city about twenty kilometers away from this gathering place.
This city was once very prosperous. Before the disaster, it was one of the largest cities in the world. Books say this city is called a food desert.
However, it has really become a desert now, and only the ruins and ruins are engraved with the glory of mankind.
The city was divided by rivers, and the majestic bridge across the rivers was destroyed in the Age of Chaos.
But people found a path that could bypass the river. It is also one of the roads leading to the outer giant city circle. If you go around, it will take a long way.
But there is a strange existence in the abandoned city.
"Originally, there were three off-road vehicles opening the way in front of our caravan, and the two psykers were among them. The trucks followed. The other off-road vehicles were patrolling around." A person who witnessed the strange event with his own eyes The caravan personnel said: "If there is a problem ahead, the off-road vehicle guards will issue a warning."
Li Yelai nodded slightly, there was no problem. Sentinel. Psykers' perceptions are sharper and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, so it is right to open a way.
"Unfortunately, even with this arrangement, we still encountered danger when passing through the roads in the city." The caravan member took a deep puff of cigarette and said: "They are all missing. We didn't even sound a warning, and we didn't even fire a gun. We continued to move forward without knowing anything, and then we were attacked on the riverside. I was sitting on the third truck, and when I looked up, I saw the two trucks in front of me suddenly. It was dragged into the river by something.”
"Did you see the other person's appearance at the scene?" Little Mad King asked.
"No, it was too dark. I only had time to see the spray of the truck hitting the river." The caravan crew paused and seemed a little scared: "Then the river rolled and someone screamed, but very quickly The sound disappeared soon. Then something crawled out of the river and started chasing us."
This made Li Yelai a little moved. The two psychics opened the way and failed to fight back. That’s it, can’t even remind you later?
"What level is the wild psyker you hired?" Li Yelai asked.
"We don't understand very well. But I heard that they became psykers for only about three months, and they were awakened during the insect swarm incident." Xu Shi said: "But I feel that their warfare Not as strong as Scar. Have you ever seen Scar? "
Scar, oh~~ the Scar girl who used the flail at that time was from Erjue and had combat experience.
Li Yelai nodded: "It was probably the first sleep or the breakthrough to the second sleep. He is quite courageous and dares to break through rashly."
"You are also lucky. If they are distorted, You will be the first to suffer," Li Yelai said to Xu Shi.
The average wild psyker has no way to obtain stabilizers or potions. Without the experience and teachings of our predecessors, it is extremely easy for distortions to occur.
The reason why officials monitor wild psykers is because they may become victims. Then there will be no need for monsters to take action, and the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce will have to suffer.
Xu Shi could only nod. The caravan member continued: "I reacted quickly and reversed the car crazily. My companions also unleashed their firepower on the monster, but it seemed to have no effect. When we were about to be overtaken, we jumped out of the car and headed towards the alley of the ruins. I escaped the pursuit."
Li Yelai nodded silently, this was indeed the best choice. If the opponent is too big, it will be difficult for him to get into the alley.
"Then we immediately changed lanes. After all, there are still many roads in the city, although they are more difficult to drive." Another caravan member said: "We were far away from the river, but when we passed a street , we heard gunshots coming from behind. Then there was no sound at all, and the battle ended quickly. We knew something was wrong and immediately escaped from the city and returned here."
"The scope of activity is. In the city?" Li Yelai thought.
"It should be, we lost five trucks, seven off-road vehicles, twenty-six brothers, and two psychics." Xu Shi was a little bitter.
The rest of the senior management also sighed, even if they were scavengers, they were not very good at playing cards. But they were also companions who worked hard to make money together, and they felt uncomfortable because of such an unclear death.
Moreover, their trade route is blocked, and if they cannot pass quickly, they are worried that they will lose everything. It won't be too easy for the rest of us.
Li Yelai looked at Little Crazy King. After thinking about it, Little Crazy King responded: "I'm not sure what it is at the moment, nor the number of opponents. I even doubt the first and second attacks. From two different enemies.”
Worst case, there are two enemies hiding in the abandoned city.
"It would be a bit troublesome to hide." Little Mad King looked at Li Yelai: "But, if you are here, this shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"
Li Yelai nodded. This kind of elusive thing is perfect for meeting strong enemies.
"Are we being nosy?" Li Yelai asked.
“We don’t harvest at night, so how can we say we are nosy?” Xiao Kuang Wang responded calmly: “Don’t worry about the mission time, I just considered that this situation might arise, so I set off early. By the way, hone your fighting skills."
Li Yelai smiled silently.
In fact, even if Li Yelai and others did not take action, this monster would not live long.
You must know that the martial arts in Border City are abundant, and the Ye Bushou are all operating in the wilderness.
There will always be people who pass by this place all night long. Once they find this monster, they will take care of it.
Actually, if they send someone back to the giant city to report, the officials will also send out a small team.
It’s just that because what they did was not very good, they subconsciously did not dare to contact the authorities.
"Okay, Boss Xu Shi. Get your people moving and get ready to go." Li Yelai said.
"This" Xu Shi's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "I will definitely give you two adequate rewards. But what can we do to help?"
Li Yelai thought for a while and said: "When the time comes, leave. I’ll stay away. Otherwise, I might be struck by lightning.”
“Huh?”(End of this chapter)
