Chapter 44: Urban legend
When the two returned to the room from the corridor one after another, they never said a word again. The one that broke the silence was when Cassia took out the panoramic map alone and spread it on the table.
Even if there are huge problems and hidden dangers in his will and spirit, he still has to take the task as the first priority. Training is always non-existent. All he can do is to sharpen his heart in constant tasks. .
When the two people once again finalized the general steps for the future, the time has passed one o'clock in the morning, and the outer suburbs of the city are as quiet as a dry well in the night, and there is no general loneliness.
The map in front of has circled different areas of different sizes with a red pen. Beside it is a map of the underground waterway that Carla asked David to buy from the City Management Bureau this afternoon. The map is also covered with bright red marks. The messy and intertwined ones are hidden in the recently arrived Gerun Oasis. Most of the most used faces.
Among the most new faces, arms smugglers are the most common. According to the news from Lili, the reason why Nuo Lida suddenly appeared in Gerun Oasis is probably because of a more than ten-year urban legend that has been circulated here, which is about a treasure that allows them to rise in the dark world. Treasure.
Arms smuggling merchants are their low-level status positions in the dark world, which are too cheap. As long as there is a fund to open the way, anyone who wants to eat this bite of food can probably get in in a very fast time. But in their world, the status and status are the same as in the empire. This low-level business is not a trick, and the acquisition of money is often tied to their own lives.
Black eats black, and there are so many mangy dogs that don’t pay when they arrive, just like the sand in the desert, but you have nothing to say about them. A bullet can only break their heads anyway, but the money that should be obtained cannot float into their pockets as the bullet goes out.
It is not easy for everyone to live in all walks of life.
Therefore, many arms smuggling merchants are creditors even if they are rich. The people below owe them, they owe a higher level. They are upset, they can forget a sum of money at any time, and then use a gun to smash the head of the mangy dog in front of them, the same goes for people at the upper level to deal with them.
Maybe I’m fed up with this kind of life. Nolida, who is prosperous among arms smuggling merchants, first wants to get involved in a higher position quickly when the empire is about to be turbulent, otherwise his life is still the sea. The destruction of the boat on board is only a matter of how long the wave has come. So he came to Gerun Oasis, a newly emerging city that has already begun to decay and degenerate. Not long ago, this city exuded a strong fragrance and attracted too many people. They are all the same people as Nolida, chasing the throne of power and money, and came here together.
That was the news they heard from others by chance. The empire once mined pyroxene here, and the dense underground waterways under the city surface were actually mines mined by the craftsmen at that time. The imperial officials who oversaw at that time deliberately reserved an unmined area to enrich their pockets during mining. But before he had time to enjoy this huge sum of money, he was dealt with by the empire for other crimes.
This incident sounds somewhat fictional.
At first, Nolida came here just thinking about doing business here. It is still a new city with a vast market. The demand for weapons and ammunition in the shadows is beyond his imagination.
While continuing to engage in the arms sales business, he accidentally remembered that long-rumored urban legend, just like the things that our parents told us that we must not do things when we were young. In fact, how much of it is that we secretly cannot withstand curiosity and do it secretly. Over. Curiosity killed the cat, but it has also made too many people in this world.
So he bought a layout drawing of the underground waterway, which is a work like sitting down and resting after a meal, but he did not expect it to find the treasure.
A group of arms dealers, then mixed with people from all walks of life, smelling the decay of money and power, rushed to them. They wanted to verify the authenticity of the matter personally, and at the same time, to get a piece of the pie.
Cassia put away the map, this urban legend has been confirmed through the mouth of others on his way back. It has been spread for a long time, and it has been talked about by many people, especially the first batch of aborigines in the city. When they were children, the time and experience spent exploring the deep-smelling underground waterways were not as good as they are now. There are few arms dealers.
But sometimes, it takes some luck. This may not be the key to success, but it cannot be denied that it is definitely a huge help to get things done.
The plan of the last two was divided into two parts. The situation in the underground waterway was taken over by Cassia to some extent. He was better at using and fighting close-range weapons. Kara is responsible for the things on the surface of the city. The sniper rifles are repelled to death in the underground waterways. The irregular curved corners are indeed the enemy of the sniper rifles that require vision and distance.
"Thank you just now." Cassia said as he walked out of Carla's room.
"No, I don't want to suddenly lose a capable ally like you while performing the mission." Kara said in a nonchalant voice, "Remember to close the door, tomorrow you are going to be a rat, take a good rest."
Despite saying that, but when Cassia returned to the room, she didn't feel a bit of wanting to sleep. He got out of the bed with his hands on the ground and didn't know how many push-ups he had been doing. The sweat on his face dripped down, forming a puddle on the floor in front of him, and his body was steaming hot.
"I'm tired," he said, a burning sensation in his arms and abdomen.
lay back on the bed, the body was indeed tired, but the spirit became more cheering. His eyes are wide open, and in the dark room, without spreading out the cross pupils, he can see a little bit of the extremely vague outline on the ceiling.
The face in the mirror is indeed not something that can be forgotten by forgetting. Inside Cassia's closed eyelids, the eyeballs are shaking.
It seems that he hasn't slept all night. When I don't know how long it will be, Cassia guessed that it was the early morning, and he fell asleep.
Then it may be less than three hours, at 8 o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.
It's not Yejielin, it's Carla, and then he opened his eyes.
、、、、、、
Gustin and the three people around him kept silent, with regrets and sorrows. They lost another teammate here. The desert trip made them understand the friendship and importance of their teammates for the first time, and now let them know how happy and fluent and impermanent life is. Maybe the next person lying on the ground may be themselves.
The intelligence bought with money is very accurate, and there is only one more defender, which is absolutely acceptable. Moreover, the timing of their attack was also very clever. Between everyone's exhaustion and panic, the battle should have proceeded step by step toward their plan. But when a person in the enemy suddenly lit up a golden cross pupil, they were also confused at that time.
Temporary reaction and judgment, these are things they can't learn in military school. The impermanence and suddenness of the task are the main reasons why the students died and their names were included in the loss list. They took the surgeon too special, so they stumbled.
It is impossible for the remaining four people to remove the corpse, so he can only be placed here more neatly and quietly. The will has been taken back by the military school. What they can do is to sprinkle a few more layers of lime on the corpse to prevent premature decay, so that the corpse can be kept for a few more days without being everywhere in advance. The rat gnawed clean.
Then they began to carry ammunition and firearms. The safe on the side was violently destroyed by Gustin, and all the banknotes stacked in it were put into a canvas bag~www.readwn.com~Captain, come and take a look, we seem to have found something interesting ! "This is Klitsch's talking about. The yellow gauze on his body was stained with spray-like blood, which was spattered from the person whose carotid artery was cut by him.
All military school students can become an anatomist after graduation. It’s an excellent one. These are some of their favorite words, because apart from some professional doctors, people who can understand the structure of the human body like them, apart from some artists, there should be no other people.
Gustin took the bulged bag and walked over. Klitsch had an excited smile on his face and pointed to the cavity hidden under the ammunition box. There was a little light in it, and he lived in darkness all year round. The fluorescent plant emits, it is written in the books of the military school.
This cavity seems to be an entrance, because there is still a rope ladder hanging there, and the other end is submerged in darkness like water. There was the sound of running water and the ubiquitous sour smell.
"The underground waterway is also below?" Gustin asked.
"It should not be. The underground water channel map we have does not have the mark of this water channel." This is the voice of another teammate, female.
"Klitsch, don't you know?" Gustin looked at Klitsch's excited and smiling face, something hidden beneath it.
"Of course!" He showed two rows of white teeth, and raised a thin book that he didn't know when. The black and crude cover was full of wrinkles like old people, and several of them were barely recognizable.
