Chapter 531, A Strange Change Is Coming
On that night when Qing’s completely lost track of the experimental body, no one noticed that in the corner of Barrier 61, where the battle between the A-rank assassin and Fire Seed Company once took place, there was a creeper growing sinuously along the wall.
That creeper had been planted a long time ago, and the walls of the homes along the roadside had been covered up by the creeper.
When someone passes by in the summer, looking at the green color of the wall will be refreshing.
On the day of the battle, there were members of the Fire Seed Company’s Dusk Squad who had died under that wall, and the blood seeped into the soil along with the corpses, mixing with the creeper’s roots.
During the night, a fat rat burrowed out from the sewer, cautiously searching for food, and it was attracted to the side of the wall-crawler by the aura of blood that hadn’t been cleared away before.
But the wall-crawler even seemed to be alive, stretching out a tiny tentacle to try to caress the mouse.
The mouse took two steps back in fear, and then carefully surveyed the wall-crawler’s tentacle, which was like a human’s palm.
Only after the mouse realized that the other party was just a plant, it stopped being so wary and instead moved closer again.
The wall-crawler’s soft tentacles touched the top of its head twice, as if it was curious.
This is probably the first time it seriously “its own” way to understand the world, the tentacles on the top of the rat’s head, as if scratching an itch, the rat very enjoyable squinting eyes.
But in the next moment, the wall-crawler’s tentacles opened up and plunged into the mouse’s body like a splinter, penetrating the mouse in an instant and dragging it into the back of its dense foliage.
That mouse only had time to make a squeak, and then no more sound, and that wall-crawler attached to the wall, still looked quiet and beautiful.
……
When the touring team arrived at the 78th ledge, it was already early in the morning, and they immediately hit the road after fixing the tires, just like Ren Xiaosu guessed, the touring team had already arrived at the 78th ledge, and the rescue team hadn’t even meant to leave yet.
This time, Fangzhi finally listened to Zhou Yingxue’s advice, temporarily purchased two additional off-road vehicles, specifically used to put supplies and vehicle maintenance tools, and even hired a local vehicle maintenance workers to follow the tour with high salaries.
It was really last night’s incident that was too much of an afterthought for them.
What if what they encountered was not a hardcore repair team, but a more vicious robber? Fangji knew very well that if trapped in that wilderness with no rules, he was afraid that most of the males would be very interested in Li Ran, the actress.
This time in the ledge, Li Ran brought Zhou Yingxue with her everywhere she went, the two women appeared to be as close to each other as sisters on the surface, and if Ren Xiaosu didn’t know the truth, she almost believed it.
This Li Ran with Zhou Yingxue to participate in all kinds of activities and dinners, purely do not want to let Zhou Yingxue idle just ……
Incidentally, since Zhou Yingxue are followed together to participate in the activities, he Ren Xiaosu as the surface of the assistant, of course, also have to follow.
On this, Li Ran also proudly told Zhou Yingxue: “I came to Zhou’s tour this time, mainly to go to the 73rd wall to see a movie director, he recently seems to start shooting a new movie, at that time, if I can choose the female lead, I will help you to find the director to ask for a female supporting role.”
Zhou Yingxue said this and rolled her eyes, she knew very well that Li Ran just wanted to show off with her, otherwise she wouldn’t have nothing to do but mention this kind of thing.
On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “Are there still people making movies now?”
“Of course they do, they’re still in color,” Li Ran said proudly.
Ren Xiaosu hadn’t lived in the Central Plains Barrier for a long time, so she didn’t know that there were open-air movies in many barriers, with a special projectionist withdrawing a curtain and then using a projector to put images on it.
Every time the movie is shown, a large group of men, women, and children will gather under the curtain, as well as vendors selling cigarettes, sodas, and melon seeds.
These were not found in the southwest and northwest, and were unique to the Central Plains.
But just during the dinner, Zhou Yingxue once again received a text message from Anjing Temple, only this time the mission was a little less different.
“Barrier 73 has been infiltrated by a large number of members of the Fire Seed Company, accompanied by members of the Knights Organization, the goal is suspected to be to find the ruins of the Fire Seed Company’s pre-Calamity Laboratory, with the range being near the East Lake.”
“This laboratory is extremely valuable, should be the life science direction of the research subject, and before the catastrophe has made technological breakthroughs, can be applied to a wide range of medical fields.”
“This mission is an unlimited quota mission, bounty on the head of the Fire Seed Company’s dawn squad, 150,000 per person, bounty on the head of the dusk squad, 500,000 per person.”
“Only those who succeed in this hunt will be eligible to participate in next year’s spring selection.”
Just outside the banquet on the grass, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue both froze as they looked at this mission text message, and he queried, “Has the Anjing Temple ever released such a vicious mission before? Surprisingly, it looks like it’s asking all A-classes to hunt members of the Fire Seed Company.”
Ren Xiaosu pulled out his newly grabbed C-ranked cell phone, and as a result, he realized that this C-ranked cell phone had actually received a text message as well!
So, this mission was sent out by an indiscriminate group from Ankyoji! All the way down to the C-rank had a part in it ah!
“The most ruthless point of this mission is the mass sending,” Zhou Yingxue said, “Anjing Temple must also know very well in their hearts that many of the cell phones they sent out are hidden in the hands of some people with ulterior motives …… Master, I’m not insinuating you ah.”
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows, “Continue.”
“All forces should have one or two Anjing Temple cell phones in their hands, and although they can’t receive text messages from A-level missions, they can occasionally guard against the assassination of important backbones within the consortium,” Zhou Yingxue said, “Before Zhou’s there was someone who had been issued a mission B-level, and also a list of sins, and the result was that there was no waiting for the the assassin arrived, this person was arrested and investigated by Zhou Clan itself. So, this mass text message was sent to those forces to see, just hoping that more people would come to stop Fire Seed Company.”
“Hmm,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “If it’s a simple hunt for members of the Fire Seed Company, I’m afraid that it won’t make people’s hearts flutter, but the astronomical price of the information in that lab will be able to make people’s hearts flutter, and I’m afraid that Zhou’s own heart will have to flutter, after all, this lab is on their turf. This text message focuses on the value of the lab, but shows that it is not interested in the lab information, it is really intriguing.”
So, Ankyoji clearly knew that they had cell phones that were in the hands of people other than the assassins, but they didn’t care, they just replaced the cell phones for the A-list assassins.
This was actually a deliberate attempt to condone the leakage of the cell phones and then use them to stir up trouble when it mattered!
“It’s just that the Fire Seed Company was searching for the laboratory ruins, why would the Knights Organization accompany them, and how did these two organizations get mixed up together?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
