Chapter 242 Civil War and Civil War(1/2)
Is there going to be a civil war in Dragon City?
Previously, Su Xia learned from Zhang Fang that there were three factions within Dragon City.
They are the academy, the city lord and the Queyue Research Institute.
People from colleges and research institutes have been coveting the position of city lord.
In the past years, the three parties have often had conflicts, but they have never become serious. There have been many minor frictions overtly and covertly, and the top management has been relatively restrained.
In recent years, the relationship between the college and the research institute has gradually eased, and there are signs of joining forces.
Is this going to turn the tripartite confrontation into a conflict between Chu and Han?
wrong.
Su Xia thought for a moment, and if the two factions really wanted to take action, it would be impossible for the news to spread everywhere.
Even Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng, two killers who did not belong to Longcheng, knew about it.
Is it fake news?
Or……
Those two factions deliberately released the news, hoping to create pressure on the city lord and force him to take action first?
As long as the city lord makes the first move, people from both factions will be able to take advantage of public opinion, win over the people of Dragon City, and gain a "justified reputation."
With Su Xia's current strength, he can barely intervene in this kind of struggle. After the matter here is settled, he plans to go to Dragon City to have a look and solve the doubt that has been buried in his heart——
Is the Lord of Dragon City his old father?
"Soon."
Su Xia glanced at the time. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The pitiful sunlight in the jungle was still slowly decreasing, and darkness swallowed up the area around it.
At the same time, outside Fish Scale City, which is far away from here, the smell of gunpowder between the two insect nests is getting stronger and stronger.
If nothing else happens, there will be an extremely bloody Zerg civil war tonight.
Both insect hives are frantically exploding troops, accumulating strength, and using various methods to win over the primitive insect races in the wilderness that have not yet fully evolved.
Su Xia's clone, that ugly little monster, has arrived here and has mixed into the group of strange primitive insects, preparing to join the powerful insect nest as a mercenary.
Once the war begins, the corpses of countless insects will be the best nourishment for Su Xia's growth.
at the same time.
In the pharmacy in Coral City.
Su Xia put down the medicine bottle in her hand, turned to her father and said, "Teacher, I have something to do outside and I have to go out. There is no need to hold the door open for me tonight."
"Okay, go ahead and be safe."
Dad waved his hand without raising his head.
After receiving permission, Su Xia took action immediately and brought a lot of potions that she had refined in the past few days.
After confirming that no one was following him, he walked around a few times before leaving the city and heading straight to the wilderness of Fish Scale City in the north.
In the shop, Lan Bafu muttered: "Brother Su's excuses for asking for leave are becoming more and more perfunctory. He used to say that he was going to help his friends fight, but now he just says that he has something to do outside. He is mysterious and mysterious all day long.
I thought he was doing something big, the masked weirdo probably wasn't as busy as him."
"Snapped!"
A piece of ointment hit Lan Bafu's forehead accurately, causing him to scream in surprise.
This ointment was naturally thrown out by my father.
Dad raised his small round glasses and said calmly: "If you can create more than three third-level formulas by yourself, you can also ask for leave like this."
"oh……"
Lan Bafu rubbed his forehead, had nothing to say, and continued to concentrate on refining the medicine.
…
The time came to seven o'clock in the evening.
In a certain area deep in the southwestern mountains, Su Xia and his party discovered another rest area for the Dragon City team.
This area has left a lot of traces of human activities, such as campfire ashes, tent supports, food packages, beast bones, etc.
"The people in Longcheng are consciously saving dry food and hunting mutant animals in this jungle to satisfy their hunger, which shows that they have prepared to be trapped for a long time."
"But there are really too few mutant animals that can be eaten here. Most of the animals are blocked out by these killer plants."
"Bloody bandage...someone is hurt..."
"..."
The wounded are undoubtedly a huge burden to a trapped team.
Fortunately, the members of the Dragon City team have a set of conventional exoskeleton power, which allows them to lift heavy objects.
On the trunk of a big tree, Su Xia made something else.
"Splattered human blood..."
He touched the rough tree trunk and observed carefully, with a serious look on his face.
On the trunk of the tree, there are dark brown spots of blood, similar in color to the bark of the tree. In the dark, you can't really see it unless you look carefully.
"The surrounding weeds were lodging, with seven deep depressions and five soil overturns. There were blood stains on some grass blades, which were signs of a fight."
Su Xia slowly squatted down and found an unburned cigarette among the weeds.
"Only half of it burned, which means it happened suddenly."
Not far from the half cigarette, there were a few dark gray pieces of clothing.
Its edges are torn and torn off by force.
Not far away, those blood-stained bandages were randomly discarded. The situation at that time may have been a bit chaotic.
The fighting area was not large, which shows that the person who started the fight was stopped quickly and was not strong enough.
"The people in Dragon City probably didn't intend to rest here, but the sudden attack forced them to stop."
"Although there is no unity internally, we would not take action under such circumstances. It is very likely that someone is delirious."
Judging from the on-site environment, the situation of the trapped team is not optimistic.
This jungle is filled with all kinds of poisonous mist, and you will get caught if you are not careful.
Even if you leave the poisonous fog area and barely wake up without an antidote, you may still feel dizzy, nauseous, and generally uncomfortable for a long time.
"There are two dragon scale marks. One of them still has an 'X' symbol in the middle to indicate a dilemma, and the other has an 'S' symbol to indicate someone is injured."
On a stone, Su Xia found traces left by Dragon City.
There are three consecutive "S" marks in the second inverted triangle dragon scale mark, which means that the injury is serious and urgent treatment is needed.
Sun Lang and Sun Lang had taken over the mission of Dragon City before, so they were no strangers to this mark.
Su Xia learned about it from Zhang Fang.
"Commander, there are several arrow symbols here, all pointing over there, do you want to continue moving forward?"
Both of them subconsciously regarded Su Xia as their backbone and asked for his opinion.
Su Xia nodded: "Well, pay attention to your surroundings."
As time passed, the jungle gradually became colder and the light became less and less. In the end, only Su Xia's mecha was left as the lighting source.
During the exploration, Sun Lang said with a hint of envy: "Having a set of mechas is very convenient. It's equivalent to carrying a spare set of energy with you."
Su Xia asked him: "With your financial resources, it should be no problem to customize a fourth-level mecha, right?"
"It's not a matter of money. I'm uncoordinated with my hands and feet." Sun Lang lamented, "Commander, driving a mecha also requires talent. I can't use the mecha flexibly at all. Every time I try, I am in a hurry. In the eyes of the enemy,
It's a moving target inside, so it's better not to wear it."
"Maybe the general system doesn't match you well."
Su Xia thought for a while and said: "You can find a professional mechanical team, tell them all your requirements, and cooperate with them to conduct stage tests, and let them create a fool-proof system and adaptive mecha that can be fully used by you.
"
Hearing this, Chang Rufeng on the side smiled and said: "He doesn't have the patience to cooperate with the test. He is born with a temper that can't sit still..."
The three of them talked as they walked, giving the dark and cold jungle a little more life.
When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening, I finally made a new discovery.
Another corpse.
This was a headless corpse, with everything above the neck missing, and the surrounding dead branches and leaves were covered with broken brains and blood clots.
The scene looked very scary, and the dark and bloody scenes gave people the feeling of a restricted horror film.
"Something's wrong. This guy was shot in the head. Plants can't do that!" Sun Lang squatted down to check. "The clothes he was wearing looked familiar. He was also one of the fourth-level creatures who drank in the pub yesterday.
I've met him."
