Returning from the abyss

Chapter 318 Bandits
It's dark under the lights, which is a difficult problem to figure out.

Although the meaning of this word is "have experienced but not noticed", but it is more troublesome to put Lu Ning, Shang Wenxue and Zhou Weiyuan who are already more careful.Because if you didn't notice it before, the effect of recalling it again may not be much better.

Until they walked out of the dormitory building, the three of them did not reach a unified opinion on "darkness under the lights".

"What Wei Shu said was not all the truth, at least he concealed a lot of things."

"But it would be nice to have someone who is willing to talk..." Zhou Weiyuan shrugged, "Anyway, we got some things, and it's not like we didn't gain anything at all."

"You want the merchant to charge this thing?"

"You have to use it to know what it's useful for. Lu Ning, what about you?"

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with me?"

"Although I caught some of the loopholes in his words, this is to the extent I can do it. Did you ask anything from the pressing questions before? According to what I know about you, you guys like this People never ask what they really want to ask."

"Because you can find a lot of doubts when you see him." Lu Ning said.

"What doubt?"

"His clothes, the heater in his arms, and some behaviors... Let's put it this way, now we can be considered to understand the world. If I had to choose a suit of clothes to prepare for a long-term battle, I would definitely choose Shang Wen A body like snow."

She pointed to Shang Wenxue, leather jacket, trousers, and hat. Although the lining is invisible, Shang Wenxue's body is neither thick nor thin. It is easy to move and not indispensable. It has many conveniences.

"Wei Shu's clothes look tattered, but the core is thick and warm. The heating equipment he uses doesn't need an external power supply. In addition to the two-year statement, it is very likely that it came from a businessman. After meeting us for the first time, he went to touch the cigarette and found that there was nothing left, so he asked us to ask for it... If this is not a cover-up but a habitual action, it can be said that he does not lack some spiritual comfort products , but don’t deliberately remember the number.”

"He can go to the merchant to change it."

"Would you spend the money you got from killing monsters to buy some cigarettes and alcohol? He doesn't enjoy it once in a while, but a state of habitual long-term possession."

Lu Ning snapped her fingers and expressed her thoughts: "Clothes and heaters prove that he is suitable for using that type of equipment. Asking others for cigarettes and alcohol shows that he has ample money channels, and the last words I asked are Considering his attitude towards the world...he's not fanatical, but he's not normal either."

"You want to check the log?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"Not all, based on these three guesses, I think this Wei Shu should already have a certain degree of control over this cold world, at least he can guarantee that he will always stay in this world, instead of constantly changing the world with gradual changes. He must have a deal with the businessman, and he must have companions, most likely those researchers who fell into this world together at that time."

click.

Zhou Weiyuan stepped on a piece of broken ice.

"Researchers will just give up their research like this? When the world was still hazy, they worked hard to open the passage, and now they have personally been in it, even if not all, there will be many people—what's the matter!"

Lu Ning was a little distracted by thinking, but Shang Wenxue didn't. Hearing the sound of ice breaking, she had already stepped to the front.

Under the moonlight, at the crossroads in front of this road, there were seven or eight fully armed men standing with guns in their hands.

"stop."

One of them spoke, and the voice made through the gas mask was very dull, but a strong sense of superiority could be heard in the words.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wenxue asked, tilting her head.

"Leave the supplies on your body, and then go back and forth from wherever you are." The man raised his chin, "Don't waste our time."

Lu Ning didn't expect to encounter someone who robbed Dao.

I heard from Teng Zijian before that many of the people lost here did not take monsters as their main target, but made a living by robbing other teams.The equipment of this group of people is completely purchased for dealing with human beings. They are all equipped with extremely strong, incapacitated ammunition, strong light flashlights and other things. The only good news is that they are out of a mentality of cutting leeks. will not kill.

"In such a cold weather, if we hand over everything, we will die." Shang Wenxue laughed, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Find a place to wait until the gradient changes! You're lucky if you weren't allowed to stay!"

"Then you guys stay~"

As soon as Shang Wenxue raised her hand, the pistol appeared in her hand in an instant, and there was a light ring, and then more than twenty high-energy beams scattered from the muzzle of the gun, hitting everyone in front of her instantly.

Immediately, screams rang out. The lucky two were only pierced through the shoulder and abdomen by the laser, while the others were all hit to the point and died on the spot.

After firing the shot, Shang Wenxue quickly retracted the gun, and dropped three darts from her cuff. When the two of them started screaming, her dart had already shot, and it accurately cut into the muzzles of the guns held by the two of them, disabling them. The most direct means of killing.

"Slow down—" Zhou Weiyuan wanted to stop Shang Wenxue a little bit, but how could he stop him?She had already rushed forward, and the sharp metal tip of the cane cut the throat of one of them, and then stabbed into the other arm of the injured shoulder blade. She stumbled and directly poked him to the ground.

"This kind of skill also comes out to rob? You are really confident."

Shang Wenxue stepped on the last person who was still alive, lowered her tone slightly, and looked down at him.Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan walked over slowly, one picked up the scrapped gun in his hand, and the other took off his mask.

This person looked to be in his 40s or [-]s, not a student's age.Lu Ning fumbled in his pocket, and found an identity card, which had serious wear and tear marks on it. Apart from that, there was nothing on him that could identify his identity.

"They have quite a lot."

Zhou Weiyuan casually threw the gun aside, turned around and searched for the corpse again.The lasers burned small holes in the corpses, and the armor on these people did not provide any protection at all.As for the firearms, Zhou Weiyuan soon discovered that they were just ordinary standard light submachine guns, the kind that could be carried by body armor at a longer distance.

"It's a pity that they are all empty shells. It is not easy to deal with those monsters. These guys are just pawns."

"Are you saying that this group of people is not all?" Shang Wenxue glanced at the trembling person under her feet, licked her lips, "Is there any way..."

"We don't need to take this group of guys as the main target, don't forget what we should do." Lu Ning put away the ID card, then clapped her hands and stood up, "His posture for holding the gun is not standard, neither He has been trained and has not experienced any combat. In other words, they were absorbed into a certain team to be responsible for the looting mission as soon as they entered here. He has a few frostbite on his face, which proves that the living conditions are not very good, that is, in Proof of the low status in the team. I found a set of twelve injections in my pocket, all of which are the most common satiety medicines. They are cheap and have not been used. Obviously, they will carry out such looting outside for a long time regardless of the outside situation, and Just left. This group of people should return to the core location of the team regularly to turn in the looted items and obtain injections. I didn’t find any special equipment outside the body. The team should have used poison or something to control them. There’s nothing worth digging out of them.”

"Understood." Shang Wenxue bent his mouth and pulled out the cane. The man on the ground let out another cry of pain, but it was very short. His body rolled slightly, and the cane pierced his temple.

The suffering you have experienced is not a reason to inflict suffering on others. Both Lu Ning and Shang Wenxue have the same views on this aspect.

"Look for the other corpses to see if there is any communication tool. If they want to return to the team, they must have a way to contact the person who controls them."

The three of them rummaged around, but found nothing other than some living supplies.

"We look like the first group of people they robbed." Zhou Weiyuan stuffed a pack of bullets into his backpack, and looked at the submachine gun with some distaste. If the pistol was okay, it would be a bit cumbersome to put on him.

"There is no contact tool." Shang Wenxue also shook his head, "Lu Ning, didn't you say not to take them as the main target? What are you looking for now?"

"I'm a little concerned about something." Lu Ning lowered her head and took a small "compass" from the shoulder strap of a corpse backpack.

"what?"

"The means of control, although I know it's something like poison, generally speaking, you can buy normal antidotes from merchants. Although these people don't know how to rob their income, it's not easy to raise a little money. So I wonder what that means of control is."

"How about a miniature bomb?" Shang Wenxue opened his mouth and said another possibility.

"Um……"

"I've seen it before. It can be buried under the skin, or it can enter the human body by taking it. There are many types of bombs like this. As long as you set a time limit, you must go back and see people before the bomb explodes."

This is indeed a possibility, but it is easy to verify.Lu Ning cut open the clothes of a dead body with a knife, carefully checked the body surface, found no buried surgical scars, and then opened the abdominal cavity, but also failed to find any traces of bombs.

Shang Wenxue didn't expect that she would really do what she said, and she really didn't hesitate at all for the autopsy.

"Does it matter? Making this mess..."

"I always take precautions against imaginary enemies as much as possible. Well, it's almost time to leave." Lu Ning wiped off as much blood as possible on her hands, and then picked up the "compass".

"merchant?"

"If there is no contact tool, the merchant's place is probably the best place to meet. It just so happens that the time is a bit late now, and the merchant may appear at any time, so we can set off now to look for it."

This indicator used to find merchants, Lu Ning, also has one on her body. As a necessity, it is normal for anyone to appear here, and it can be regarded as a blind spot.After collecting the spoils for a while, the three left quickly. This place is not suitable for staying for a long time.

Shortly after they left, two people appeared on the road on the other side of the intersection.

"Soon."

"After all, it's...huh." The person wearing the hood sneered, "But even though she noticed something, she still didn't find anything. No wonder, there are too many confusing information in this scene. The more suspicious the more It’s hard to clear the fog.”

"I thought you'd be quicker to do it."

"No... Since there are other guys here to join in the fun, let's use her as bait first. Don't you want to catch them all? I really don't want to delay this scene for a second. The sooner I leave, the better."

"Mentality, Mentality..."

"Delaying time is also risky. If Lu Ning finds out the truth, she will have an overwhelming advantage. After all, she is the 'Zhengshu'. At that time, I may have to make a certain sacrifice to win."

"To be honest, I don't think you can win at that time."

"...No one knows her better than I do."

"You are talking nonsense, but your character determines that you are not as good as her."

"You can take it easy. Forget it, you are still helping me now, right? If I lose, it's okay for you to find another partner. I don't want to talk about personality factors."

"Okay, okay, so what are we going to do now? Fishing?"

"The other few are not easy to deal with. Shang Wenxue has caused us a lot of trouble. Fortunately, I haven't done it yet. Tsk, I hope I don't make wedding dresses for others."

When the two were talking, the corpse lying at the intersection had quickly turned into pus, and even the cloth and metal on the body could not last long before it began to corrode and rot. By the time the conversation was over, only some mixed together material, and freezes quickly in cold weather.

"Deal with it."

One of them raised her hand, holding a small device inlaid with a purple crystal in her hand. She pressed the button on it a few times, and then aimed at the ground. Soon, those mixtures disappeared instantly, and the ground recovered. Without the original appearance, it is impossible to see that a killing has taken place here.

At this time, a vibration came from another person's pocket.

"Hello?" The man took out his mobile phone, listened for a while, and then said, "There is no need to do anything, you still act according to the normal situation now, Yan Rong's trust in people will deepen over time, she will not It's easy to doubt anyone, and now that Zhou Weiyuan is separated from her, no one will advise her."

He said something on the other end of the phone, in a slightly hurried tone.

"Ning Yeyi? Huh, of course she has a problem. Listen, no matter what she finds out, you just keep doing what you do now. Anyway, you didn't really do anything out of line, and she can't come up with evidence at all. .Speaking of which, how many suspicious people have you found there?"

After a moment, the hooded man smiled.

"That's not a lot. It seems that everyone from anywhere has started to act. Don't worry, the sooner you start, the easier it is to lose. As long as you protect your own safety, Cang Su."
