Chapter 5: Grudges about the Predecessor
Compared with the surprise on Shen Mu’s face, Geng Jun’s heart was even more astonishing.
After the two introduced each other's names, Geng Jun's face also showed a bit of emotion: "I can't believe that yesterday, when I saw the little brother coming over for the first time, I thought he was just one person. , Just a lone wolf, I didn’t expect it to be a pride of lions.”
This statement is humorous and also expresses kind thoughts.
"You're grateful." Shen Mu just smiled calmly and didn't explain much.
Instead, he looked behind Geng Jun at the two jackals from the spirit world who were about 1.67 meters tall, hunched over and slightly lower than an adult man. Their eyes were even more stunning.
This kind of creature is an aborigine from the spirit world. Because the crystal wall system of the spirit world collapsed, it scattered the wanderers on the blue star.
As long as you have the mark of the spirit world, you can gain their allegiance and help fight the undead monsters in the darkness.
It seemed that he was aware of Shen Mu's gaze towards him.
The two jackals also raised their ferocious heads, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, stretched out their pale pink tongues and licked the raised rusty scimitar.
It looks quite ferocious and violent.
The master of these two jackals, Geng Jun, was also observing the 15 Swadian recruits beside Shen Mu.
Looking at these thin figures, wearing gray and black cloth robes, their weapons are mostly simple long-handled scythes and one-handed axes that are more similar to farm tools, as well as tattered wooden shields, they are obviously human race guys. , with some recognition in his eyes.
Geng Jun sighed with emotion: "Brother Shen is very lucky to be able to win the loyalty of so many human beings in the spirit world."
"It's just good luck." Shen Mu nodded.
Of course, he couldn't say that this was a reward from the riding and slashing system, rather than a gift from the spiritual world mark.
This is fundamentally different from the jackal possessed by the guy named Geng Jun in front of him.
"If the diesel company knew that I offended you, Brother Shen, last time, I'm afraid I would regret it now."
After a brief chat, Geng Jun seemed to be Thinking of something, he curled his lips sarcastically: "Because there are so many people in my company, if I dare to steal other people's spiritual marks casually, I know that sooner or later I will be kicked out of the iron wall."
"... ..." Shen Mu frowned slightly at this time, and the remaining memories from his previous life also came out in his head.
"But Brother Shen, this place is quite far from the Diesel Company. It is considered the fringe area of the Diesel Company's influence. Although there are grievances, it's better not to provoke them." Geng Jun said a few words of comfort.
"I understand." Shen Mu's expression was a little complicated at this time, because he remembered the reason why his predecessor committed suicide.
"Okay, Brother Shen, I won't bother you with cleaning this floor. I would like to remind you, be careful of those apartment rooms that have not been opened. There may be thick curtains to block the light."< br>
Geng Jun did not continue to chat and was ready to leave.
But before leaving, he still hesitated for a moment and said: "My location on the second floor, room 2101 in the elevator room, the entire second floor is my territory, and I am considered a neighbor."
"There are a few ordinary families living on the third and fourth floors. We can take care of them if they need anything."
"As for the fifth floor, there is a weirdo with 9 halflings under his command, who can produce The delicious dried mushrooms and dried earthworms make you feel fuller than our local food in Blue Star, and can also restore your physical strength. But she has a weird personality, so don’t disturb her if you have nothing to do.”
“Me. I understand, thanks for the reminder." Shen Mu nodded in thanks.
Then watched Geng Jun leave.
“On the fifth floor, there is a halfling, a weirdo who can produce food with special recovery effects.”
Shen Mu repeated these words softly.
This is indeed good information.
However, Shen Mu also looked towards the west at this time, his face slightly gloomy: "Diesel Company."
He slowly chanted the name.
In his mind, from the remaining memories from his previous life, an unforgettable feeling of hatred permeated his body and mind.
Because my predecessor was really angry, aggrieved, and also extremely aggrieved!
“The day before yesterday, my predecessor found a spiritual mark in a basement. It seems that after activation, it can also gain the allegiance of spiritual creatures.”
“But never I thought that after my predecessor obtained the spirit world mark, he was discovered by the people from the diesel company."
"I had no choice but to hand it over."
"After I came back. , the former was so angry that he felt aggrieved by his behavior, so he cut his wrists and committed suicide in a fit of anger. ”
Shen Mu curled his lips, this was his predecessor's last obsession.
I also understand why I feel something is wrong when I hear the name of the diesel company.
"Take your time, I will avenge you." Shen Mu touched his fast-beating heart, making a comfort and promise.
Clenching the hilt of the long sword stuck at his waist, Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "Okay, boys, it's time for us to take action."
Turn around and look at himself These were the Swadian recruits who remained vigilant at all times, even after the two gnolls left, still holding on to their scythes.
These are his confidence!
“Action!”
Shen Mu waved his hand and began to lead them to open the doors of rooms in the entire apartment building and search for supplies.
Perhaps it is also due to the fact that the rooms are all old-fashioned apartment buildings.
Most of them are ordinary doors.
If it is a security door in a high-end community, they may not be able to open a few doors even if they try their best. Oh, this has a lot to do with Shen Mu's predecessor, who had the ability to pry open such cheap ordinary security doors with wires.
‘Crack. ’ Shen Mu used seven or eight seconds of concentration to pry open another security door.
"簌簌!" But the sound coming from inside was not good.
“There is a situation.”
The newly prepared Swadia recruits raised their long-handled scythes one after another, pointing the sharp scythe tips at the crack of the door.
Just when Shen Mu held the door handle and determined that the location of the sound was behind the door.
He glanced back.
The prepared Swadian recruits nodded to him.
“Up!”
Then Shen Mu directly pulled the door handle and pulled the entire security door outward.
Then he bent down slightly, concentrated all his strength on his arms, then raised the long-handled scythe in his hand, and stabbed fiercely into the darkness inside the open door!
‘Poof! ’ The sound of penetration appeared instantly.
“Gah!”
Then there was an angry wailing sound.
At the same time, there was the sound of flapping wings in the darkness, accompanied by sharp shouts and collisions, and the smell of sulfur.
"Kill!" But the Svadia recruits showed no fear at all and waved repeatedly at the long-handled scythe that was stabbed inside.
And through the dim light after opening the door, he shot straight into the apartment room!
In the small space, the shimmering sickle blade slashed.
The seemingly simple broken wooden shield was pushed up again.
And the one-handed ax in his hand.
In less than two or three minutes, the sound of flapping wings and wailing screams inside had disappeared.
Then there was a "crash" sound and the sound of the curtains being opened.
The light shines in from the window.
The darkness and gray fog suddenly disappeared, and the apartment, which was also about thirty square meters, was completely cleared.
When Shen Mu came in, there were already seven or eight children lying on the ground, about the size of eight or nine years old. They were all dark red, with black horns the size of a little finger on their heads. There were bat wings behind them, and they were grinning like little devils. creature.
The 15 Swadia recruits were all standing intact at this time, only the two recruits at the front had a few blood stains on their faces.
Perhaps a few unlucky recruits also had their clothes scratched to pieces, and blood stained the surrounding cloth robes red.
Even the losses in this battle were minor skin injuries.
"Little devil."
Shen Mu recognized the name of this monster.
At the same time, I was also a little lucky: "It's not other demonic monsters, just some low-level little demons."
No one knows what kind of undead will be born in the darkness and gray fog. monster.
There are strong and weak.
There are as many as there are.
But they are extremely dangerous existences for ordinary people!
The sun shone in, and the corpses of these little demons that had been killed by Swadia's new recruits began to dissipate into black smoke.
It is like a snowdrift evaporated by an oven.
Whether it was blood, flesh, or bones, they all turned into black smoke and completely disappeared.
Only in the corners of the apartment are scattered many slender or thick bones, but all of them are covered with small tooth marks.
Shen Mu was silent.
He knew that these bones were the bones of Blue Star Aboriginal people.
There is no need to say more about the original outcome.
"Search and see what supplies we have." Shen Mu withdrew his gaze, waved his hand and ordered behind him: "Pack up the bedding and wood and send them all back to our room."
< br>"Understood." The Swadia recruits responded, and then began to rummage through boxes and cabinets.
They are all ownerless things, of course they take them at will.
But during this time, Shen Mu looked at the dialog box that appeared on the retina in front of him.
【Ding! Congratulations! Your troops have won a battle! 】
【You have soldiers that can be upgraded! 】
