Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 237 Wall Crack
Xu Shen noticed that this purifier was dark blue, a high-end version.
Only this kind of purifying agent is attractive to them. With their status, they can easily get ordinary purifying agents.
But there is no benefit in absorbing too much. Instead, you need to spend energy to eliminate the impurities and corrupt bone powder in it, which delays your practice.
Wang Cheng glanced at the box and nodded slightly: "Okay, we are ordered to solve the problem, but we have to see if this problem has anything to do with you first."
After saying that, he handed the information he had sent earlier to Lou Haiyin behind him.
In addition to being the eyes of the team with his abilities, Lou Haiyin is also the most thoughtful person on the team.
As she was flipping through the information, Wang Cheng said to Wang Qing:
"I heard there were cracks on the wall and some commotion. Do you know what's going on?"
“High wall?
Wang Qing was smart and understood the purpose of the people in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Recently, the Xu beasts have been active frequently. Something has happened over there. As you know, the Xu beasts are afraid of shells. They have all run to the other side recently. These Xu beasts like to compete with each other for prey areas, which has resulted in many casualties."
"Have you investigated the condition of the wall?"
"We've sent people to investigate. It seems that it has been in disrepair for a long time. The specific reason has not been found yet. You can go to the Begonia Brotherhood to find out. Maybe you can get something." Wang Qing said with a smile.
Wang Cheng stared at him and remained silent.
"Tea."
Wang Qing handed over the cup of water.
Wang Cheng was thinking quietly, and when Lou Haiyin handed the information back to him, he stood up and handed the information back to Wang Qing: "Then let's go and find out first."
"good."
Wang Qing stood up to see him off, picked up the "little difficulty" on the table, and said:
"Thank you for all the hard work."
"No problem."
Wang Cheng didn't take it, but just waved his hand, and Lin Xiao stepped forward to take it.
Soon, the group left the Xumi Bureau and got in the car, accompanied by Wang Qing.
"Count the things and share them among us later." Wang Cheng said to several people.
Lin Xiao grinned and said, "The Nightingale District's Secret Bureau is really generous. They can even get so many high-grade ruins purifiers. They must have their own special purchasing channels."
"This is his ability, there's nothing we can do about it except envy," said Chen Lei.
"Why did he give us these?" Xu Shen asked in pretended confusion.
"Why else? I feel guilty."
Lou Haiyin smiled and said, "These secret bureaus all have their own little schemes. They often embezzle money, or use their power to make money, or even release beasts. If we really want to investigate, we can always find out with some effort. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. It all depends on how well the arrangements are made."
Xu Shen understood it clearly and felt that this statement was very well said.
"Xu Shen, you are still young and have little exposure. You will naturally understand it in the future." Han Pengfei said with a smile.
Xu Shen nodded.
Soon, all the purifiers in the box were counted, and there were a total of 450 bottles.
Obviously, this number was carefully calculated by Director Wang Qing.
There were 8 people in the personal guard team, 7 people including Xu Shen received 50 bottles each, and the team leader Wang Cheng received 100 bottles.
Half of the binary quantity... Xu Shen sighed inwardly. Even if he wanted to get so many high-level purifiers, it would be difficult. But a director of the Nightingale District could give them out easily.
No wonder the Nightingale District is the second largest district after the Queen District where the Queen Ant lives. It is indeed very rich.
For the Nightingale District's Secret Bureau, what it lacks is not resources, but people who can become two-state.
"Don't underestimate Director Wang Qing. He is at least at the second state limit and has already mastered the extreme state." Lou Haiyin said to Xu Shen.
Lin Xiao shrugged and said, "So what? He has to smile obediently when he sees us. Can he fight? Can he beat the queen ant?"
"It's better not to be too arrogant. Some of the guards suddenly disappeared, which means we have offended people who should not be offended. As long as they are clean, they may not dare to provoke us." Chen Lei warned.
"That's nothing. We are in two states, so it's still difficult to assassinate silently." Lin Xiao still disagreed.
Soon, the vehicle drove into the headquarters of the Begonia Brotherhood.
The Begonia Brotherhood seemed to have received the news in advance. When the vehicle arrived downstairs of the headquarters, there were already people waiting outside.
"There are really a lot of eyes." Han Pengfei shook his head and smiled, but his expression seemed to be somewhat pleased with the feeling of being noticed.
Extra attention leads to the experience of being valued.
Standing downstairs to greet them were Bai Ya and Spider Man. When Bai Ya saw Xu Shen getting out of the car, his expression didn't change. He just glanced at him and turned to greet Captain Wang.
After Xu Shen and Bai Ya looked at each other, their expressions were the same as usual, and they both understood each other tacitly at the same time.
Although Xu Shen did not join the Haitang Brotherhood, he did cooperate with them, and it would be better if this cooperation was kept as unknown as possible.
Soon, several people were invited upstairs.
Several members of the Begonia Brotherhood were present, except for the old man codenamed Mr. Worry.
After some polite greetings, Wang Cheng also directly explained the reason.
"The cracked wall has nothing to do with us. We lost a lot of brothers because of it. You know, there are no soldiers in the shells wandering near the wall. There is no value in hunting them."
"On the contrary, hunting them down would result in loss of troops and generals. The secret bureau of this rotten ruins doesn't care about it, so we still have to rely on it. Who made that place so unlucky? It happens to be the territory operated by our group. Don't you think this is unlucky?"
Haitang looked like she was wronged and was complaining to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "We just came from the Xumi Bureau. If something happens here, you will all be held responsible."
"That's unfair."
Haitang said, "The Xumi Bureau is a tax-earning organization, and is supported by taxpayers. They should provide protection for taxpayers like us. We are a private company, and now they want us to take the brunt of the trouble?"
"Think it over carefully. If the investigation finds that you are involved, no one can save you." Wang Cheng stared at him and said.
Haitang also looked at him directly: "Although we can do some small business, we dare not touch such a big thing."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Wang Cheng knew he couldn't get anything out of him, so he stood up and said, "Since that's your territory, you should be very familiar with it, so I'll trouble you to accompany us."
“Why should we do this kind of hard work?”
Spider-Man couldn't help but ask, "Which law requires us to cooperate with you?"
"The rise and fall of the Ant City is the responsibility of the ants. Is this law enough?" Wang Cheng said coldly.
"That's not the law," Spider-Man retorted.
"But the law can't change this." Wang Cheng snorted coldly.
Haitang stopped the Spider Man and said to Wang Cheng, "Okay, we'll go with you."
Wang Cheng snorted coldly, turned around and left with Xu Shen and others.
"Boss, this matter has nothing to do with us. Why should we listen to them? We work hard but get no thanks. When the problem is solved, the credit will be theirs, and we will not be mentioned." Spider Man said immediately after Xu Shen and others left.
"There's no way. Some people can't help you, but they can hurt you."
Haitang said: "Just consider it as a courtesy to the queen ant. After all, there is only one king here."
Spider-Man's face was filled with indignation, but he could only remain silent.
"Clean up, we just need to cooperate with each other and put our own safety first." Haitang said.
Not long after, they went downstairs and followed Xu Shen and others' car to the suburbs of West City.
There are villages and towns nearby, as well as wilderness, with wolfhounds, brown bears, pythons and other ferocious beasts roaming the wild, but to the Zhanxu personnel, these are no different from poultry.
We saw several villages and towns along the way with collapsed buildings, obviously indicating that fierce fighting had taken place there.
The vehicle stopped halfway and Wang Cheng invited Haitang to get in.
Spider-Man and others grabbed Haitang and signaled with their eyes.
Haitang thought about it and decided to walk to the car of Xu Shen and others.
At this moment in the wilderness, if Xu Shen and others attacked him together, their lives would most likely be in danger.
Seeing Haitang being so bold, Wang Cheng nodded slightly. The local tyrants in Nightingale District were indeed not simple people. After Haitang got in the car, the vehicle continued to drive, and Wang Cheng asked, "Have you investigated here?"
"We cooperated with the Xumi Bureau and hunted three shells here before." After Haitang got in the car, she chose a seat to sit down, which happened to be next to Xu Shen.
When Xu Shen saw Haitang's actions, his face remained calm, but he was secretly unhappy in his heart.
If they really intend to join forces to deal with Haitang, judging from his actions, they will most likely use himself as a shield.
The previous cooperation with the Begonia Brotherhood was only verbal and there was no specific contract. It seemed that there was no check and balance, but for some things, the question itself is the answer.
When Haitang reported their cooperation, even if no evidence could be found, others already had the answer in their hearts.
No matter how big or small this matter is, it will always make Xu Shen feel uncomfortable.
This was also one of the risks of cooperating with Haitang in the beginning, but everything has risks. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. People who know how to avoid risks may not succeed, but people who know how to deal with risks will definitely succeed.
"The villages and towns nearby have all been attacked . These shells seem to be looking for something and are killing people everywhere," Haitang said.
Wang Cheng nodded slightly. He had already read the information when he received the task.
"Captain, there's something ahead."
At this time, Shen Wanqing, who was driving, said.
Wang Cheng took a look, and his eyes focused. Through the cracks in reality, he saw a crawling shell wandering in the building in front of him.
"It's just a small thing." Wang Cheng looked at Haitang: "This is a small thing, please help me."
Haitang cursed inwardly, but said, "It's a small matter, but if we encounter a two-state, we hope Captain Wang can help us. We are just a private company. Although we are two-state like you, our armor is fragile and our swords are not sharp. I'm afraid we can't win."
"No problem."
Soon, Haitang contacted Spider-Man and others in another car.
Someone immediately rushed out to deal with the wandering shell and found no soldiers from its body.
The shell cannot be killed and will be resurrected again under the stitching of the surrounding fog.
Therefore, even the shell in its initial state is quite tricky and difficult to handle.
“Seal it off first and contact the Secret Bureau to deal with it and take it away.” Wang Cheng said.
The people from the Haitang Brotherhood took out the Xu stone chains, bound the defeated Xu, and reinforced the wounds of his dismemberment with the chains. When they healed, the chains would be embedded in his body. This was one of the methods that had been explored for a long time to imprison the shell.
After the chains were in place, Lou Haiyin contacted the local secret bureau, left the address information, and then everyone continued on their way.
As they went deeper, they encountered more and more shells.
They encountered four or five of them in villages and towns along the way, and they were all dealt with by members of the Haitang Brotherhood, who became Wang Cheng's thugs.
Xu Shen also saw the way the royal guards did things, using orders to send people away to save themselves trouble and effort.
The vehicle drove into a village.
It's quiet here.
"Um?"
Maeve, who was staying beside Xu Shen, seemed to see something. She suddenly looked somewhere, then shuttled through the car with interest, flew over, and disappeared beside Xu Shen.
Xu Shen's eyes changed slightly. Anyone who could interest Maeve was not a good person.
"Be careful." Xu Shen reminded in a low voice.
Hearing Xu Shen's sudden words, everyone was slightly stunned. Lou Haiyin, who was also a user of perception ability, immediately activated his ability to look around, but found nothing.
She looked at Xu Shen in confusion: "What did you see?"
"Something is wrong here." Xu Shen said, "It's better for us not to move forward. Let someone explore first. I have a bad feeling."
"Is your ability premonition?" Haitang asked curiously.
Xu Shen rolled his eyes at him and said, “It’s none of your business.”
Haitang smiled and said nothing.
Wang Cheng and others knew in the last battle that Xu Shen's ability was to see through weaknesses, but at this moment there was no trace of Xu and Ke, so what weaknesses could there be to see?
Unless insight into weaknesses is just one of many deep ability traits.
Just like the water ability can freeze, it can also refract.
"Stop." Wang Cheng always listened to others' advice, so he immediately asked Shen Wanqing to stop the car, and then said to Haitang, "Let your people go to the front and take a look."
Haitang stopped laughing immediately, her face looked a little ugly, and she said, "Captain Wang, there is obviously something wrong here, and we are already close to the crack in the wall. We don't have any perception ability users in our gang, so we won't be able to see anything even if we go and take a look."
"Then send someone smarter." Wang Cheng said coldly, "This is a big event that concerns everyone. Everyone has an obligation to cooperate. Do you want to disobey the Queen Ant's orders?"
What the hell is my duty... Haitang cursed in her heart and said with a sullen face: "Captain Wang, the members of our Haitang Brotherhood are all my brothers. You want my brothers to take risks. I cannot agree to such a thing."
"Then you can go." Wang Cheng said.
Haitang said angrily: "Do you really think that since you are the Queen Ant's personal guards, no one would dare to touch you?"
"At least you don't dare, otherwise you can try it." Wang Cheng sneered.
Haitang's face turned pale, this is bullying by force.
Even though he was admired by countless people in the underground world of the Nightingale District, and many wealthy people would tremble when his name was mentioned, he could only bear the humiliation in front of these Queen Ant's personal guards.
So, you haven’t climbed high enough.
He was filled with anger and said, "Let's be reasonable. The queen ant didn't order us to cooperate, right?"
"Our words represent the Queen Ant's words. Are you going or not?" Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at him like a poisonous snake.
Seeing Wang Cheng's reaction, Lin Xiao, Lou Haiyin, Han Pengfei and others beside him understood and stared at Haitang with unfriendly expressions.
