Subconsciously, Sumo was told that the treasurer of the Demonic Exchange was dealt with by the guards for unreasonable reasons, which would definitely arouse public anger and then cause civil strife in the Free City.
Reality told Sumo that all the businessmen chose to remain silent, even as if this incident had never happened.
Everyone is guessing that the top ten exchanges and their subordinate businessmen have given up and are too frightened by the powerful force of the escorts to take any action.
But now, looking at this box, it is crystal clear and matched with a very regular template combination.
All the doubtful points and all the unreasonable points began to connect quickly in Somo's mind.
"This invasion by the Bright Empire is so strange. The guards who serve as defenders are like fools and were fooled by them."
"I will never believe it if you say there are no internal agents of theirs in Liberty City!"
"But if you want to be an internal agent of a hostile force and be able to create countless opportunities like this, there are only ten major exchanges in the city."
"No, if this box of crystals is the capital they keep here in case of failure, waiting for a comeback, then if nothing can be done, they come back to get the things, and they just bumped into me."
"Oops, we have to evacuate quickly!"
In a few breaths, Sumo made a thorough analysis of the current situation in the city.
First of all, the top ten exchanges have shown great kindness recently and started to help some of their subordinate exchanges to repair their houses and reorganize their appearance. It seems like the final preparations before winter.
But if you think about it carefully, it just creates conditions for the people of the Light Empire to dig holes underground!
If the guards hadn't thought that the top ten exchanges were trying to win over Xinhuo Exchange to buy shares and beat them hard, I'm afraid the underground of Xinhuo Exchange would have become a gateway for reformers to enter the city!
Secondly, the goal of these greedy businessmen is definitely not to destroy Liberty City and turn themselves into a lonely ghost without a clan.
They deliberately lured the reformers of the Bright Empire into the city in order to use them as leverage to negotiate with the escorts and redistribute their interests.
Once the negotiation is successful, they will definitely have corresponding means to end this farce of attracting wolves into the house.
But once the negotiation fails.
This is probably the capital left by the top ten exchanges to develop in other places!
After thinking about this clearly, Sumo suddenly felt a little troubled when he looked at the box that was still emitting crystal light.
But fortunately, the surprise shout from Dyson downstairs brought him back to his senses instantly and gave him new ideas.
"Gan! Anyway, it was the reformer who took it, so what does it have to do with me!"
"It just so happens that there are a few scapegoats downstairs. If I take these templates, I will definitely not use them in Liberty City. They are in the depression and they don't have the guts to come and investigate!"
"What's more, if they fail to negotiate, they will be in a state of panic, and they will have no ability to trace it!"
Compared with the large number of imported products collected before, the value of the templates in the box is not inferior at all.
Although starting from the fourth level template, choosing to load requires a higher level imprint.
But compared to imprints, templates are obviously more difficult to assemble!
I didn't dare to take the box away directly. I took out the pocket on my waist and found that the templates in the box quickly moved.
Then, after putting the box back in place, Somo quickly went down to the first floor along the original path without going to other rooms to continue searching.
"Brother Su, we are rich!"
"These materials can definitely be sold for a sky-high price when they return to the city. You can definitely collect enough money for one or even two fifth-level paintings!"
Just like Sumo found hundreds of high-end templates upstairs, Dyson also found a sack of high-end materials on the first floor.
Even though the bag is covered with black cloth, there is still a mist of black light coming out of it, which makes it look quite extraordinary.
"Let's go, let's go quickly. I suspect that the people here have extraordinary identities. If I find them back, it will be over!"
Looking at Somo returning empty-handed, Dyson originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw Somo's serious face, he thought of nearly a hundred enemies at the door.
In an instant, he reacted quickly, quickly picked up the bag, put it on his shoulders, and limped out of the room with Somo.
Wow!
Picking up a torch at the door, Somo gently threw it into the door.
The moment the pine oil touched the floor, flames began to scatter and gradually spread to the side.
Knowing the importance of destroying corpses and eradicating traces, the other three people were not idle. They all went to other directions and threw torches, which once again promoted a wave of fire.
"Let's go? Now there are only four of us left, which is not enough to support the hunt."
Talking about harvest, let’s not meet the materials in several exchanges in advance. Just this bag on Dyson’s back has been enough for a few people to work hard for half a lifetime!
But surprisingly.
Looking at the three teammates who seemed to be wailing in the sea of fire, they all stood silently, with deep fear in their eyes.
"No, let's go separately. The four of us have too big a goal. If we are seen by others, we will suffer!"
"As for the things, I will keep them with you Dyson for the time being. I will go find you when I get home!"
Pointing to the joint where the shouts of killing had spread, Somo lifted up the red-stained face towel.
The secretion of adrenaline temporarily blocks the body's perception of pain.
But this does not mean that combat effectiveness will return to its heyday.
Fortunately for the few modified humans, they were still able to use their fourth-level combat effectiveness after their bodies cooled down completely.
But this wound on Somo's thigh has seriously affected flexibility and the transmission of strength.
In terms of strength, it's okay to face an ordinary fourth-level person alone, but if he encounters a fifth-level person, Soma will have to pay a heavy price, and even risk his life!
"Okay, Brother Su, I, Dyson, will protect your share even if I die!"
"If we are all alive by then, you can just come to Aaron's Tavern and find me!"
When it was broken, it was broken. Seeing that Somo had taken the lead in nodding and flying towards the west.
Toolman, Assaulter, and Dyson gathered together, each chose a direction, accelerated their pace, and disappeared above the block.
I didn't dare to run straight towards the Xinhuo Exchange.
In the middle of the journey, Sumo changed directions seven or eight times in a row. After confirming that there was no one following him, he cautiously headed towards the side road of the exchange.
Now, it is already past four o'clock at night.
With heavy snow flying in the sky, the fires in most places in Liberty City have been extinguished, leaving only the burnt smell of wood and ice and snow.
In the direction of the inner city, the shouts of killing have also subsided a lot, and it seems that both sides have reached their limit.
"It's so cold. No wonder the Cyborgs would come and attack in such weather."
"The temperature of minus fifteen degrees may be a constraint for the Demon Soul Clan, but for the modified people, it is a powerful tool to help them dissipate heat and extend the overclocking time!"
The loss of blood and adrenaline take away a small amount of body temperature.
Despite being bandaged by the tool man, Somo could not stop shivering as he ran all the way.
Gritting his teeth, he persisted until the remote street where the back door was located appeared in front of him. Then Somo shuddered and the dwarf craftsman cut out the template again.
Unlike the demon souls who have no body, just switch the template and their injuries will be repaired instantly.
The injuries from the demigod's body are still transmitted to the dwarf, and because of its size, it looks even more intimidating.
"Hoo ho!"
"Fortunately, I'm back!"
In the snow, it was extremely difficult for the lame dwarf to maintain his balance.
Every few steps he took, Somo would slide to the ground due to his unbalanced center of gravity.
After walking about a hundred meters with difficulty, his feet became unsteady and he slipped to the ground again. Somo simply turned around and lay flat on his back, and began to recover his exhausted strength.
"These newly arrived alien races, relying on their previous background, really took advantage of them in the early stage."
"When I go back this winter, I must develop old weapons suitable for ordinary human combat."
"If we can find some new people to join the depression, we can increase the number to about 3,000 or 5,000 people."
"That's when the winner will be decided!"
Medium-sized machine tools are restricted by the game, and the usage fee is as high as 50,000 points.
Small machine tools cannot be produced again due to the cancellation of their manufacturing functions.
There is no hotbed for the production of guns and ammunition, and we have returned to the era of cold weapon warfare.
For a powerful weapon and a large population, Soma had ten times or a hundred times the desire before.
However, the imagination is very rich and the reality is too skinny.
Seeing the ice and snow that was about to cover his entire body, and feeling his body temperature getting lower and lower, Somo could only helplessly get up and continue to move forward.
But this time, it's different from before.
Before he could take a few steps, a wave of air surged forward, and the dwarf's small body was instantly thrown away like a balloon.
Wow!
boom!
The loud sound, which is slightly slower than the air wave, is like placing a subwoofer next to the eardrum and turning it up to the maximum volume to release it, which makes people panic.
Under such a terrifying sudden attack, Sumo maintained his last trace of consciousness, turned around with great effort, and looked at the source of the loud noise.
"What the hell, what is this...?"
Before he finished speaking, the second wave of air struck again.
As the surrounding buildings collapsed, this time, Somo finally failed to withstand it and fainted instantly.
But fortunately, this time the impact caused some collapse of the road surface.
As the third wave of impact struck again, half of the second exit from the basement was completely exposed and appeared above the ground.
More than half an hour passed, and as the shock wave dissipated, the outside world slowly fell into the cold silence of winter.
At this moment, with a creak, the basement door finally made a sound.
Then, as the people inside exerted their strength, the snow outside the door was slowly pushed away, revealing the darkness below.
There was no rush to go out. The people inside were extremely cautious. It was not until three to five minutes later that the first sneaky lizard came out.
He first looked around at the situation, and just like Somo before, he observed the fire for a while before taking the first step carefully.
But the next second, I saw a familiar "object" on the left side of my vision that looked like an obstacle.
A loud shout echoed across the street.
"Oh no, why is the shopkeeper lying at the door?"
"Come quickly, the shopkeeper has fainted!"
Don't underestimate any opponent.
Don't underestimate any race.
Always remember that if you are injured, you will die!
This was the motto that Somo kept in mind from the first day he came to the wasteland and saw the kobolds.
since then.
In every battle, even in critical situations, he would only use 80% of his strength, leaving 20% for reaction.
But this time, Sumo admitted.
The emotion of arrogance is not dominated by human will. Its "birth" is silent and its "growth" is even more difficult to detect.
If we look at the number of people in history who were defeated and died because of their arrogance, there are actually not many.
Overlord Xiang Yu created Julu, and Pengcheng achieved mythical results in both battles, but the defeat at Gaixia became an eternal regret.
The martial sage Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals. He flooded seven armies and shocked China, but was defeated in Maicheng.
Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi, Napoleon's Waterloo, there are countless such examples.
But if they say they are self-inflated and seeking death, it is difficult to match them.
Constant victory and constant strategizing will indeed make people get lost in this kind of gain and this kind of self-confidence.
Looking at the dark ceiling, I felt the pain as if my whole body was falling apart.
Sumo was very lucky that he was still alive.
Stay alive!
"Shopkeeper, the food will be ready soon, I'll bring it to you right away!"
There was a rustling sound, the basement door opened, and Hao Qiang poked his head in.
The underground ventilation conditions are limited, and the materials are limited, so it is not easy for everyone to make this meal.
Two people stand guard, two people look for ingredients, and two people cook.
It took half an hour of nervousness before a small pot of paste was produced.
Not wasting the good intentions of these people, Somo looked at the mush that came to his mouth, struggled to smile, leaned against the wall, and started drinking.
"Hao Qiang, what time is it?"
"It's early seven o'clock, it will be dawn soon!"
"How's the situation outside?"
"The reformers who invaded the city must have retreated. There are now escorts on the main roads to maintain order. However, there are currently many injured people, just like you, the shopkeeper. Even if they change their templates, their injuries are still not good.
recover"
"Xinyi went out to investigate and found out that it was a potion specially made by the Cyborg. As long as the weapon is injured by this potion, even if the template is changed, the injury cannot be restored, and the injury can only be recuperated using the most primitive methods."
For the convenience of management, the purchased reformers have been renamed by Turner to a new character, which means new life.
According to different abilities and different responsibilities, the names are divided into one to seven.
"They can't recover from their injuries?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people making trouble outside now, and most of them are clamoring to open warehouses to stock up on grain and ask for us to tide over the difficulties together."
"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid order may not be restored by the afternoon!"
Squatting next to Su Mo, a trace of sadness flashed across Hao Qiang's face.
He originally thought that only humans and aliens would fight to the death and fight to the end for the territory of survival.
But when I came to Liberty City, I saw with my own eyes the fight between the Cyborgs and the Demon Soul Clan, as well as the tragic situation in the city after the war.
He suddenly understood completely the true meaning of war and the situation that Depression was about to face.
"That...is that giant dragon still there?"
Watching Somo finish his last sip and put down the bowl in his hand, he looked worried.
Hao Qiang was stunned and silently shook his head.
"The last giant dragon that appeared last night was the eighth-level Flame Dragon, which is most likely the Demon Soul Clan's trump card. I heard them say that there was no real fight after the Flame Dragon appeared. It only breathed out three times and the stalemate lasted for a while.
Then he disappeared.”
"I guess that the flame dragon was afraid that it would not be able to stop fighting and destroy the Free City, so it stopped. Of course, it may also have reached an agreement with the reformers of the Light Empire."
"Anyway, in the end, quite a few of the reformers put down their weapons and retreated. It was a fight for both sides!"
Hao Qiang's expression was quite normal as he had never seen the giant dragon that covered the sky and the sun with his own eyes.
But after listening to his narration, how he almost destroyed half of the city in just three breaths, and after recalling the scene that was engraved in his mind, Somo felt in his heart and nodded with fear.
At the last second when he fainted, the giant dragon with flames all over its body and a length of at least three hundred meters left a deep impression on people.
It is different from the seemingly endless gods hanging in the sky.
The pressure of the giant dragon was truly felt on everyone present!
Moreover, the gods have many restrictions on their actions, but this dragon gives people the impression that it can do whatever it wants.
Its meaning is equivalent to:
To an ordinary person, the threat of nuclear missiles is far less than that of assault rifles.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry about my injuries!"
"You guys go out first and let me rest for a while!"
Lying down on the bed again, watching Hao Qiang turn around and leave, Su Mo withdrew his gaze and started to stay still.
Unlike the shock to the soul, the physical injuries were not serious after entering a safe environment.
You only need to wait until the number of body changes is refreshed at eight o'clock, and then you can switch out the psionic water for quick recovery.
In addition, there are demon souls outside as cover, so even if someone is found injured afterwards, there won't be a big problem.
But right now, the troublesome thing is not the injury, but the future of the depression!
"Hibernating, we can't wander any longer, we must return to the depression quickly!"
"If we don't take advantage of this winter to make drastic developments, once spring begins, such wars are bound to break out several more times!"
"At that time, if you fall behind, you may really get beaten!"
