Outside the city, a stronghold of the Scarlet Hands.
Lin Mingjie hugged two numb looking girls on his left and right. He kept rubbing his hands inside his clothes.
Hearing the news of the Seventh Squad's annihilation.
He wasn't angry. Instead, he looked playful, "How long has it been since someone dared to provoke us like this …"
Since that time, there hasn't been anyone with such courage since they killed some blind hunters.
Across the room.
The deputy leader, Scar, was doing some kind of piston movement. At this time, he looked annoyed, "The Seventh Squad's trash was killed by a mere three people!"
"Indeed trash. Shi Yanming challenged someone alone, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. It's a disgrace to the Scarlet Hands. If he's not strong enough, then it's fine. But that person's strength is only at the Triple Awakening Stage. Even that's not his opponent. Shi Yanming's dead."
"But …"
Lin Mingjie's tone changed. His playful smile disappeared and suddenly became cold, "The Scarlet Hands' dignity can't be lost. Since there are people who don't know life and death, then we have to let these hunters remember their fear."
He squeezed hard. The girl in his arms twisted in pain. But she didn't dare to cry out. She could only bite her lips and endure.
"Boss, I've already sent people to investigate these three people. It won't be long before we get the results. Hmph, they must think that we can't do anything to them if they hide in the shelter."
Scar sneered, "As long as we find out their identity, I'll immediately go there and catch them. No matter where they hide, they can't escape!"
Lin Mingjie didn't respond. Instead, he refused, "No."
"Boss, those guys slapped our face. We can't let this matter go!"
"Of course not. I'll let them know what it means to live a life worse than death. But …"
His face was gloomy, "That weapon has attracted a lot of attention. Among them is the Academy of Sciences Dean. Although this old man is no threat, it's best not to offend him. Especially at this critical moment."
"Then what should we do?"
"It's best not to fight in the shelter. However, I just received news that there will be a big operation in the shelter tomorrow. At that time, the mission center will hire a large number of hunters with great rewards. With the strength of those three people, they will definitely participate."
"And the mercenaries participating in the mission will be divided into different areas. Later, go and greet Supervisor Jiang at the mission center and ask him to help us keep an eye out …"
Scar chuckled, "I understand, I understand. As expected of the boss."
He licked his lips as if he could already see the end of the three hunters.
…
Tang Yu gained a lot from the conversation with Dean Sun.
Not only had he broadened his horizons, but his understanding of source energy had also deepened.
Other than that, it could be said that the profits were related to the Academy of Sciences.
The equipment he brought this time, including basic weapons such as longswords, combat knives, and daggers, have been sold to the Academy of Sciences. The unit price may not be as high as the auction price, but Tang Yu knew that the auction price was high because of the special circumstances.
Once he took out more equipment, the price would inevitably drop. Although there was still a lot of profit, the mercenaries might not be able to afford the price.
At the end of the auction, many awakened ones increased the price one spirit crystal at a time. It was obvious that they were reaching their limit … The wealth of these mercenaries was limited. At most, they could only harvest two or three more pieces of equipment from the auction.
But the Academy of Sciences was different. With a large number of spirit stones, Tang Yu could sell the weapons to the military through the Academy of Sciences. Even if he only sold them for 20 spirit stones, he could still make a lot of money.
"Forget it this time. I don't have that much equipment on hand. The next time I come here, I must make a good profit."
Tang Yu wasn't worried that the Academy of Sciences' research would affect his future business.
The workshop had reached its limit by inscribing a basic rune with five units of spirit stones.
If the Academy of Sciences could obtain some research results, then they would probably find that it was cheaper to buy it.
The quality was also very good.
The deal with the Academy of Sciences wasn't just a few thousand spirit stones.
Tang Yu spread out the map in his hand.
It was a very detailed map that contained the entire territory of the Great Celestial Empire.
Of course, the map had a focus. The province was the most detailed, followed by several neighboring provinces.
Naturally, Tang Yu specifically asked for this map.
If Bai Xiaosheng 10086 could draw a map, then the officials really had a more detailed one.
On this map, not only the location of many shelters were marked, but even the danger level of many areas were marked.
The 1-star area was basically safe. For example, outside the Lindong shelter, there were soldiers patrolling and clearing the area every day.
The 2-star low-risk area, such as the route from the territory to Lindong. Most of the areas passed through the 2-star area, so the danger wasn't high. Well, it meant before the crack of the abyss appeared in Maple Leaf Town.
The 3-star medium-risk area. This was the danger level of most places in the wilderness.
The 4-star high-risk area. Such an area would be haunted by high-level demonic beasts from time to time. It could be said to be very dangerous. If an ordinary combat squad entered such an area, they would often be wiped out.
The 5-star area was extremely dangerous, such as the previous Maple Leaf Town.
The 6-star area was a dead end.
Tang Yu's eyes narrowed. The 6-star area could be said to be very rare. But on this map, there was such a place.
At the junction of the two provinces.
It was a dense group of cracks of the abyss. In that area, there were dozens of cracks of the abyss. The crack of the abyss may be a few kilometers apart or more than a dozen kilometers, stretching into a dead area.
Such a 6-star dangerous area, even the army couldn't pass through.
Tang Yu was glad that he got this map.
Otherwise, even if he didn't plunge in, he wouldn't know where to go if he wanted to take a detour. The area covered was too wide.
His mood was also heavy.
Only now did he know that the situation in the Lincheng area was relatively good. In some areas, there were many cracks of the abyss and the danger level was high.
In those areas, small shelters were almost extinct. Even large shelters were having a hard time supporting themselves.
… …
These days in Lindong, Tang Yu mainly collected intelligence. He didn't do much every day.
There was no need to fight monsters. Every day, he just sat in front of the computer and browsed the forum. Tang Yu felt like he had returned to that familiar time.
Early in the morning, Gray Blade had already gone out to collect intelligence. This was his familiar business. Gray Blade also adapted quickly to modern tools. Tang Yu was more relieved to leave it to him.
After washing up, he planned to go shopping with Elaine to see if he could pick up something.
As soon as he arrived on the street, Tang Yu noticed the atmosphere was different.
Usually at this time, most of the combatants had already gone out. There were not many pedestrians on the street. If ordinary survivors didn't have a job to earn money, most of them wouldn't wander on the street. It would only be a waste of energy.
Many survivors, armed with swords or firearms, walked in a hurry.
