Chapter 65: Living Like a Weed

The disaster in Luoxing Town was over.

But only one in ten people in the town survived, and the town’s buildings were reduced to ashes in the fire.

Where can the rest of us go?

They can rebuild their homes on the original spot, but no one knows when the next disaster will come.

The wandering mercenaries in the wilderness are like a group of locusts. Wherever they pass, no grass grows. Ordinary people can't resist them at all.

Looking around, I couldn't see any hope at all.

"This lord..."

An old man covered in injuries came out with a cane and limped towards Su Xia, holding a stack of cash wrapped in a plastic bag, both in small and large amounts.

He was the mayor. He was hung in the central square of the town by those mercenaries, but luckily he survived.

The old mayor trembled as he handed the stack of cash to Su Xia. He looked sad and pleaded, "Sir, my grandson is a soldier in the city. Please find him and ask him to tell the people above about the situation here. This money will be... considered as my commission."

"At this time, you are still pinning your hopes on the city's managers?"

Su Xia frowned, took out the robbery permit, and opened it in front of all the living residents of the town.

It’s written in black and white, very clear!

This disaster was caused by the city’s managers!

"We have no other choice." The old mayor said bitterly, "My grandson has been a soldier for several years. He should be able to say a few words."

At this time, a task popped up in front of Su Xia.

[Do you want to accept the mission "The Old Mayor's Commission"? ]

Seeing this line of words, Su Xia was silent for a moment.

Since it's a mission and it doesn't seem difficult, just help him out. He has to go back to the city anyway.

【yes】

He clicked accept.

Then he said to the old mayor: "Keep the money. I don't need it. Give me your grandson's information and I will find a way to bring it to you."

"Thank you... Thank you, sir..."

The old mayor's lips trembled, his eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed to Su Xia tremblingly to express his gratitude.

The money in his plastic bag only added up to two or three thousand yuan, which was not enough to cover what Su Xia wasted in refining medicine in the afternoon.

Su Xia put away the plundering permit and said indifferently: "I'll tell you one last time, don't put your hope in the city, find a way to save yourself, the world is about to change, and no one can predict what will happen in the future."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir..."

Led by the old mayor, all the living residents of the town expressed their gratitude to Su Xia and the other four.

Their homes were destroyed and they really had nothing else to say except "thank you".

The detailed information of the mission appeared in front of Su Xia.

[Mission "The Old Mayor's Commission"]

[Mission Description: The old mayor's grandson "Li Xiang" is a soldier of Coral City, belonging to the Coral City 004th Infantry Battalion. In peacetime he is responsible for patrolling the southwest area of the city. Please find him and tell the old mayor what he said.]

[Mission Reward: Primary Psychic Potion x1]

Ever since the bracelet was bound to this body, Su Xia could no longer see the task level.

The reward is average, which means that this task is not difficult.

After finishing the conversation with the old mayor, Su Xia began to interrogate the remaining surviving mercenaries. It didn't take long for him to get the detailed location where the Pixiu mercenaries hid the supplies.

This time, five of us are acting together, so we can't keep all the supplies for ourselves.

"What do you mean?" Shen Yu asked, "Should we go get the supplies first, or go back to the tavern to hand in the task first?"

"There are too many supplies, we can't carry them all in one car." Su Xia knew very well that these mercenary organizations were extremely wealthy, so he suggested going back first and then finding a way to get the supplies later.

"Well, let's go back first!"

After this battle, everyone paid more attention to Su Xia.

In terms of combat power alone, Su Xia may be the strongest among them, stronger than Yang Liang who is level 3.0.

Around five in the morning, the group returned to the car and started their journey home.

Yi Mo drove on the way back. She drove very fast and arrived back outside the pub at half past six.

Su Xia had to return to the pharmacy , so she left on the pretext of having something to do. Before leaving, she said, "Just transfer the mission bounty to my card, and let Yi Mo keep the supplies for now."

"Wait! Don't leave yet!" Yi Mo held Su Xia back, "How can I contact you in the future?"

"let me see……"

Su Xia pondered for a moment. In this world, he didn't even have a mobile phone, and he couldn't reveal where he lived.

So he asked, "Does the bar offer card services? Mobile phone cards."

"Yes, come in first."

In the Zero Point Tavern, various businesses are mature and complete.

With Yi Mo's help, Su Xia got a new mobile phone and applied for a lucky number SIM card with the last four digits all being 4.

After making sure there was no tracking device in the phone, Su Xia left the pub.

He removed his mask, removed his disguise crystal, and resumed his identity as a pharmacist.

But when he took off the crystal, he actually felt a slight resistance.

The crystal seemed to want to stick to his face.

"This thing is a little weird."

Su Xia weighed the crystal and thought of the miner covered with red hair.

He put away the crystal and walked towards the alley behind the pharmacy.

On the way, Su Xia saw a team of patrolling human soldiers.

A line of prompts suddenly popped up in front of him.

[The mission target 'Li Xiang' has been discovered and can be approached for communication]

Coincidentally, the old mayor’s grandson “Li Xiang” was among that team of soldiers.

It was effortless to get it, saving Su Xia the trouble of looking for it herself.

He used the camouflage crystal again, created a strange face, and walked towards the group of soldiers.

The soldiers immediately became alert, pointed their guns at Su Xia, and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just a messenger."

Su Xia waved her hand and took out a photo from her arms.

This is the photo given to him by the old mayor to gain Li Xiang's trust.

He waved the photo in his hand and said calmly, "Mr. Li Xiang, your grandfather asked me to tell you a few words."

"grandfather?"

Li Xiang was confused and didn't know that Luoxing Town had met with disaster, so he asked Su Xia to step forward and talk.

Su Xia stepped forward, handed the photo to Li Xiang, and then said: "Something happened in Luoxing Town, your grandfather hopes that you will talk to the people above..."

He repeated all the old mayor's words to Li Xiang without missing anything.

After hearing the news, Li Xiang was shocked. With an expression of disbelief on his face, he tightly grasped Su Xia's shoulders and asked loudly: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely."

"This...how could this happen..."

Li Xiang's face turned pale and he looked towards the city center .

The people he had been protecting for the past few years actually allowed those damned wandering mercenaries in the wilderness to plunder his hometown.

What did he protect?

Su Xia took a few steps back and said, "Mr. Li, I have already told you what I want to say. I hope you can handle this calmly."

"etc!"

Li Xiang also wanted to ask something about those mercenaries.

But Su Xia quickly dodged into a small alley nearby.

When Li Xiang ran over, the alley was empty and there was no one in sight.

"hateful!"

He held the photo tightly, intending to find the person above to ask for details.

…

The rest of the day went by without incident.

On the game forum, the discussion about the small town incident continues with unabated enthusiasm.

The game world continues to run as normal.

Su Xia became familiar with the second-level potions in the pharmacy. The construction of the oasis camp was going on in an orderly manner, and several roommates also began to recruit people.

Everything is on track.

Before I knew it, the day had passed.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed most of the sky red, giving this ruined city a more beautiful feeling.

The evening breeze is very gentle.

Before dinner, my father asked several apprentices to go out and deliver a box of medicine, and then come back for dinner.

"Come back soon, don't delay too long."

"yes!"

The three of them hurried out and headed for their destination with the medicine box.

But just as they were passing by a war ruin, Su Xia actually saw Li Xiang.

To be precise, it was Li Xiang's body.

"The gallows..."

On top of the ruins stood an ancient gallows.
