The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The main reason was that Cheng Weihua and the rest felt that Wang Quan had returned.
"Xiao Wang, are you … alright?"
"I'm fine." Wang Quan stretched. "I've never felt so good."
He clenched his fists. "Sure enough, once people start to get used to obtaining power, they will develop a mentality of dependence."
However, the rate of erosion was slower than before. He could feel it.
Cheng Weihua felt a little sorry for him. "I think we should take it slow? This village is so isolated, it's understandable that they've gone astray. "
Sometimes, you say that the people are ignorant, but this is actually a kind of arrogance.
What you need to do is to get them out of this state.
"If there's enough time, of course I'm willing to do that, but I don't have much time now." Wang Quan flexed his wrists and smiled. "But since you've said so, I'll leave the old, weak, and sick in the village to you. I'll go explore the tunnel first."
"That's good." Cheng Weihua and the rest were obviously relieved.
At least they had tried. If the villagers were still stubborn, there was nothing they could do. They had a clear conscience.
Xin Zihao was the most fortunate one.
Although he knew that he would have to go through all this to complete the "Hell" mission, he had never killed anyone. He was a good young man from the ivory tower.
Even if he comforted himself that his people were killed by Quan Ge, he felt uncomfortable just watching from behind.
Wang Quan also saw through this kid's thoughts.
However, he did not say anything. He just asked them to wait first, then went back to the house and brought out three weapons.
He gave Wang Qian a hatchet, Xin Zihao a fire axe, and Lin Yu a short knife with a blood groove.
"I won't say too much. With your Guild Leader here, we'll be fine. With your captain here, I only have one thing to tell you. " Wang Quan pointed at his temple. "It's important to maintain justice and perseverance in your heart, but don't be restricted in your actions. This is' Hell. '"
Xin Zihao gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.
Lin Yu and Wang Qian sighed and did not say anything.
They knew what Wang Quan meant.
That was, if they encountered trash that they really could not communicate with, it would be faster to just kill them.
Wang Quan told them not to be idiots who would let the other party off out of kindness, only to be killed in the end.
After saying their goodbyes, Wang Quan returned to the house.
Feng Ah Jiu had already woken up.
She was sitting on the ground now, with two boxes on each side.
Seeing that Wang Quan had returned, she looked up and said, "Brother."
Wang Quan raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"
"Family assets. For living." Little White Hair hugged the boxes on each side. "Brother, you're making money. I'm guarding it."
Wang Quan: "…"
He was actually a little money grubber.
"Then you guard it. I have to go out to work."
Wang Quan checked his backpack.
Snickersnee, the chopper and the fire axe that he picked up from the village chief's house had all been given away. Now, he only had two pistols, one black and one silver, four fully loaded magazines, and another "Cold Steel Crying Outdoor Hand Axe."
The axe was not big, and its handle was made of walnut wood. One side was the axe's blade, and the other side was a knife-like spike.
It was usually used in the wild to chop small saplings, open cans, and the like.
This was also something that Wang Quan had bought in the past when he was bored. However, it had always been collecting dust.
Now, it was very useful. Wang Quan usually used it to chop people.
Wang Quan began to pack his things.
The two pistols were loaded with bullets, and the safety was off. Then, he inserted the pistols into the two holsters on the inside of his suit.
The hand axe was clipped to the back of his waist.
Then, there was nothing else.
Seeing that he was about to go out, Ah Jiu hurriedly grabbed the corner of his shirt. "Brother, don't leave me behind."
"I can't. I said that I won't let you down, so I definitely won't." He lifted his shirt and showed her the hand axe and pistol. "Brother, aren't you going out to work? Socializing, it's just socializing."
"Then I want to go with you." The little girl was very serious.
Wang Quan was helpless. "If you go, you'll just be a burden. I hate teammates who are brainless and drag me down the most. Just be a good girl and wait at home."
Ah Jiu tilted her head. "But if I'm alone at home, what if they catch me and threaten me? If I'm with you, you can protect me, right?
"Also, if you want to run, just give me a shout. I'm actually quite a fast runner."
"Ah, this …"
Wang Quan thought about it carefully. This village girl's words did make some f * cking sense.
If he asked Cheng Weihua and the rest to protect the little girl, they would definitely agree and they would definitely do their best.
The key thing was that it was useless to just do their best.
If there was a problem with the people in the village, they might not even be able to handle it themselves. How could they protect others?
It would be better to let her stay by his side.
At the very least, he should be able to handle it.
Even if he couldn't, he would have no regrets after working hard.
If he entrusted it to them and settled it smoothly on his side, only to find that his house had been stolen when he came back …
The most annoying thing for him was to change houses with others.
Since he had made a decision, he had to act immediately.
"Brother, wait a minute."
Ah Jiu also got up and packed her things. Then, she went home and went around the kang bed to pull a handcart.
"What are you doing?"
"I have to take the gold with me."
"… Okay."
Wang Quan put the two boxes on the handcart. Ah Jiu tried her best to pull the handcart and followed behind Wang Quan.
There were not many people in the village in the afternoon. They passed by Cheng Weihua and the rest. They looked at each other and nodded.
Cheng Weihua took something out of his pocket and threw it to Wang Quan. "If you need it, use it as a cover. It's an old-fashioned manual detonator. Pull the fuse and throw it out. It will explode after ten seconds. The explosion radius is about ten meters. "
Wang Quan didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and led Ah Jiu, who was pulling the handcart, to the Village Head's house.
When they arrived, Wang Quan's scarlet eyes weren't very obvious. This meant that he didn't borrow much power at the moment.
They pushed open the unlocked courtyard door and walked into the Village Head's house.
Lifting the bed board on the kang bed, Wang Quan patted Ah Jiu's head and jumped down with the handcart.
About 20 seconds later, he jumped back up with two more boxes. He asked Jiu to put her arms around his neck before jumping back down again.
…
In the darkness, a burning torch lit up the tunnel.
The Village Head walked in the tunnel with a few young men.
The young man with triangular eyes and a scar on his face frowned. "Village Head, are you sure there's no problem up there?"
"There's no problem. The people up there are all loyal servants of God. Even if they die, they'll just return to God's embrace. Other than the lack of people during the sacrifice, there's no problem."
The Village Head didn't care at all. "Those despicable foreigners are the best sacrifices to God."
"Are there any troublesome characters among the outlanders?"
Hearing the question, the Village Head was about to say yes, but his brain suddenly froze.
He carefully thought about it and answered: "No, they're all city people. They're not a threat. They know nothing about what's going on in the village."
"Okay, then let's go see the High Priestess. She's been waiting for a long time. If we're late and the High Priestess blames us, we won't be able to bear the consequences."
The few of them quickened their pace.
The tunnel became quiet again.
Ten minutes later, two scarlet lights appeared from the depths of the tunnel they came from.
Soon, two people walked past, one in front and one behind.
The person in front was about 1.78 meters tall and wore a navy blue single-breasted suit.
He was even humming a folk song.
The person at the back was less than 1.6 meters tall, and he was struggling to pull a handcart.
There were two boxes on the handcart.
