Since he hadn't been able to see any workers responsible for maintenance on the chain, Han Dong privately asked about the situation.
"Miss Chen, what exactly does the lowest level [Locksmith] do? "
"I don't know either … Maybe I'll know when I go down.
I only know that those zombies who fail the entrance test or commit felonies will be demoted to locksmiths and sent down by the dragon boat. I don't know what they do. "
Han Dong was taken aback by the answer.
Locksmiths were considered the lowest-level zombies who didn't even have the qualifications to live … Alchemist Long Jing, who was in a high position, actually didn't know what this lowest-level worker did.
No matter what kind of social system it was, it didn't make sense.
"Well, I hope I can find the answer down there. "
After descending vertically for a full hour, they finally saw the ground area.
"That's … a barracks?"
With the location where the chain fell as the center, it radiated out for a thousand meters.
A barracks comparable to the size of a certain district of the corpse country was built — an all-metal barracks created with the highest technology. It was like a huge fortress, impregnable.
There was another thing to note.
In addition to the main chain corresponding to the corpse country, the corresponding chains of the surrounding floating islands were also connected to the area near the barracks. The distance between them was no more than 500 meters.
There was also an airport about 100 meters high inside the barracks, which was dedicated to receiving the dragon boat carrying the "locksmiths".
When everyone arrived at the barracks.
The military academy explained the situation to the person in charge here. Chen Xinying, a special guest, was no longer restrained. She could move freely and even leave the barracks at will to go to the demon territory.
It was very strange.
Even in the barracks, Han Dong still didn't find any zombies suspected of being locksmiths.
It seemed that after the dragon boat carried them to the barracks, they were directly sent to a certain area for work through a special passage. They didn't appear in the barracks at all.
At the same time, according to Han Dong's observation, the "characteristics" of the [barracks] were also in full view.
Not all the people who were active in the barracks area were soldiers who were under the management of the Ministry of War and needed to suppress demons somewhere.
There were also many "free people" who belonged to the Ministry of War … To be precise, it should be a group of "merchants."
Through the business circle in the barracks, it was obvious that these "merchants" who came down under the identity of the Ministry of War were very strong.
Merchants were generally divided into two categories.
1. "Hunters": This group is good at binding. They usually use live capture to bring back some monster cubs, or easily tame mounts, or even humanoid monsters that can be sold at a high price in the slave market.
2. "Treasure Hunters": This group is usually very strong, and there is at least one Dark Zombie.
They were mainly responsible for killing rare monsters and disassembling their bodies to sell them separately, such as fur, teeth, eyeballs, and so on. Or they could go to more dangerous monster lairs to search for treasures.
Since the Ministry of War was in charge of everything here, the Ministry of War would naturally get a share of any 'goods' that were produced. As a result, all items related to demons in the Corpse Nation were relatively valuable.
…
Chen Xinying soon met up with the acquaintances she had talked about before.
This' acquaintance 'also held a certain position in the military camp. He was in charge of the management of the soldiers' salaries and supplies. He was considered a reserve worker. While he was relatively free, he could often inquire about some frontline information.
After a simple exchange.
The other party gave him a rough map and marked the location of the incident.
The information came from a treasure hunting team.
This team originally determined a secret demon lair and was ready to go to find the treasures in it. However, they found that the monsters in the lair were basically dead, and without exception, they were all frozen to death.
The demon lair was about 130 miles away from the military camp, located in the gully of the ridge mountain in the west.
"Miss Chen, do you need help?
I can arrange a good treasure hunting team for you. Anyway, your purpose is to capture 'Frozen Bones' Luo Gaocheng. They only need to get the secret treasures in the demon lair. "
"No need. I want to solve this matter by myself. Just help us prepare a vehicle."
"Okay."
After a while.
A steam-powered coffin car drove out of the military camp.
The so-called coffin car was a steam-powered car with a coffin-like carriage. The Yin energy in the car could keep the zombies in the best state during the ride.
Han Dong, who was sleeping in the coffin car, had a puzzled look on his face and said softly,
"The so-called Demon Territory is not as dangerous as imagined.
The all-metal military camp opposite the chain is impregnable. The soldiers guarding the periphery of the military camp do not have any nervous expressions. Instead, they are very limited.
It is enough to show that the military camp will not be attacked by demons.
Not to mention, the Ministry of War also monopolizes' demon beast goods' through special privileges, allowing a large number of teams to go out to hunt for treasures.
This is completely different from the 'Corpse Kingdom' I heard about.
I remember you, Zhang Xiliang, said, 'Due to the threat from demons, humans were forced to implement the' Corpse Transformation Order 'and the' Corpse Kingdom Reform Law ', allowing the city-states and surrounding islands to float in the air to avoid the threat of demons.' "
Zhang Xiliang, who was also lying in the coffin car, immediately replied, "Mr. Han, I heard this when I was young … Moreover, all the residents of the Corpse Kingdom know about it."
Chen Xinying, who was traveling with him, also nodded and confirmed this statement.
"Everyone knows about it when you were young?
Then where did you hear it when you were young? Elders … Or is this concept engraved in your mind from the beginning? "
Han Dong's question stunned the two of them.
When Zhang Xiliang tried to recall, he always felt that the worldview in his head seemed to have always existed and was born with his consciousness.
"Perhaps when you underwent corpse transformation, the relevant concept was implanted in your heads … Of course, this is just my guess, don't take it to heart.
Focus on the pursuit of felons. "
Due to the special nature of the coffin car, it was unimpeded along the way.
When they arrived at the gully marked on the map, there was not even a so-called demon nearby.
The entrance of the demon cave was piled up with rocks and was airtight.
Chen Xinying threw out a stack of white talisman papers. When the talisman papers were stuck to the surface of the rocks, these heavy and huge rocks immediately became lighter than plastic and could be easily moved away with the strength of ordinary people.
As the rocks blocking the entrance of the cave were moved away, bone-piercing cold wind immediately overflowed from inside, and even some ice crystals formed on the body.
This also indirectly increased the possibility of 'Frozen Bones' Luo Gaocheng hiding inside.
When she felt this chill, an inexplicable expression of hatred appeared on Chen Xinying's face. She could only suppress her emotions by rolling a cigarette.
Han Dong also noticed this change in expression, but he still did not ask Chen Xinying the reason for her hatred.
"So powerful!?"
The moment they stepped into the demon cave, even Han Dong was stunned.
The inside of the cave was simply an ice cellar. The surface of the rock layer was covered with a layer of ice crystals of varying thickness. The demons that used to live here were also absolutely frozen and turned into a part of the cave.
"This guy has indeed become stronger …"
