Chapter 57 Entering the Village
In the evening, we arrived at the town that Second Brother mentioned. This should be close to the village where the accident happened, because the moon in my palm began to tingle as soon as I approached the town.
"When we get to the gathering place, we have to be careful. This guy is not easy to deal with and is not someone you can easily mess with."
Before the second senior brother finished his reminder, Lu Xiaofeng raised his head and said with a smile: "Humph, our Yushen Sect is not to be trifled with."
"We need to be more low-key. Haven't you heard of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"
Second Brother winked and chuckled. I felt that Second Brother was my type. I asked, "Second Brother, the government has so many teams taking on the mission, how is the reward divided?"
"This is confidential. Teams don't know each other's rewards, but I think they should be about the same. And the most important part is at the end. After the mission is over, the publisher will increase the rewards based on the contributions made by each team and the clues they provided. In the end, the person who solves this matter will definitely get the highest reward."
As we were talking, we entered the town. The town was not big and looked a bit desolate. At a glance, there was not a single person on the street.
“Hoooo!”
A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a chill, sweeping up fallen leaves and plastic bags on the street, making a rustling sound. A gloomy feeling rose in my heart, and the moon in my palm began to feel numb and itchy again.
No wonder there is no one on the street, probably everyone has run away. Who the hell dares to stay in a place like this?
"The meeting point is just ahead."
In fact, the gathering place is an abandoned square on the edge of the town. The square is very large, surrounded by a circle of rusty iron wire and iron sheet walls. A large part of it has completely collapsed, and the rest is more or less damaged and tilted. There are two basketball hoops on both sides of the square, one is half tilted, and the other has completely collapsed.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the square, and they were clearly divided into several teams. Each team had several people, ranging from five or six to more than ten.
I took a closer look and saw that there were four teams, with five, six, eight, and nine people. Damn, it seemed like we had the least people.
"Second Brother, we seem to be a little outnumbered."
“Fewer people is not necessarily a bad thing, and more people is not necessarily a good thing.”
The second brother smiled and replied to me. As soon as we entered the square, the second brother waved to one of the teams and shouted: "Hi, Zhang Datou, long time no see, your head is bigger again."
Oh my god, this is such a shocking treat.
There was a young man in that team. His head was indeed very big, much bigger than that of his companions. He was tall and thin, with a big head, which looked quite funny.
"Fuck you, Song Shuyuan. What are you doing here, little brat?"
Zhang Datou glared at the second brother and scolded him. The second brother was not angry either, but smiled and said, "If you, Zhang Datou, can come, why can't I?"
Oh my god, my big head looks like he is only about 30 years old, and in his eyes, Second Senior Brother is just a little brat? I glanced at Second Senior Brother, then moved closer to Lu Xiaofeng and asked in a low voice: "Girl, how old is Second Senior Brother this year?"
She rolled her eyes at me and replied, "Eighteen years old."
Holy shit, so young, actually several years younger than me. How could such a young boy lead us to handle such a mission?
"Song Shuyuan, is it the Song Shuyuan from Yushenmen?"
There was a young man in the largest team who looked at us and seemed a little surprised.
Hey, is this Second Brother really famous?
"How many more Song Shuyuan are there?"
A person next to him asked in a rhetorical tone. He probably meant that the second senior brother was the Song Shuyuan mentioned by the young man.
"Uncle Song won third place in the last Hunter Competition."
Lu Xiaofeng said.
Hunter Competition? Third place? What the hell?
"The Hunter's Guild is an organization composed of hunters, and is mainly responsible for handling hunter-related tasks. Hunters can take on tasks from the Hunter's Guild, and the Guild will settle their rewards after they are completed. Hunters can also directly obtain information about the person who posted the task, and then discuss the task and the reward with the person who posted it.
The Hunter Competition is a hunting competition held by the Hunter Guild every three years, and hunters from all over the country participate in each competition. Five years ago, in the last Hunter Competition, 13-year-old Master Song won the third place in the Hunter Competition, so many people know about our Yushen Sect and Master Song. "
Damn, I didn't expect that there is such a big organization for hunters. The second brother is even more awesome . He won the third place in the hunter competition when he was thirteen years old. When I was thirteen years old, I was still in elementary school.
Hearing what the people next to him said, Zhang Datou glanced over there, then glared at the second senior brother, snorted and stopped talking. The second senior brother shrugged and did not go up to talk to him.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine suddenly rang out outside the square, which was a bit harsh in this dead silent town. Soon, a military truck drove over from a distance, and finally drove directly into the square before stopping. Then, more than a dozen soldiers got off the truck, all wearing camouflage uniforms and holding guns in their hands. They moved very quickly, and after getting off the truck, they quickly lined up in a neat line.
Then a middle-aged man got off the car. He was also in military uniform, but he didn't hold a gun. He seemed to be the leader of these people. The middle-aged man looked at us and said, "I think you all have understood the situation here. I won't say any more nonsense. There are five teams here, divided into five groups. Two of my soldiers will go into each group. The five groups will set off immediately and head to Pingshan Village."
It seems that the village where the incident happened is called Pingshan Village. This middle-aged man really doesn't talk much nonsense. After saying these simple words, he waved to the dozen soldiers and immediately separated ten people. According to what the middle-aged man said, two soldiers from each team joined our five teams.
The remaining six soldiers stood behind the middle-aged man, each with a blank expression on their face.
"Hey, your people are following us, and we can't guarantee their safety."
In one of the teams, a young man called out to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "You are not responsible for their safety. Just let them follow. Let's go now. We have to enter Pingshan Village before dark."
"Are you guys going too?"
In another team, someone pointed at the middle-aged man and the six soldiers behind him and asked. The middle-aged man looked at the young man who asked the question, but did not answer. The young man shrugged and did not ask any more questions.
Several teams left the square and walked towards Pingshan Village, preparing to enter the village.
