Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 751 [Zoo Horror Chapter] Eight: The Invited Person
Chen Yan concentrated his attention and caught the voice not far in front of him in the darkness.

"Second brother! The bottom of the feet is flooded again!"

"I know I know! Shut your mouth! Forgot how Lao Ba died just now?!"

"The smuggler didn't follow..."

"We shot it a few times on the tram tracks, isn't it dead?!"

"Hey, I'm afraid it will still be alive and kicking when it catches up later, what should you do?"

"Lao Liu, what the hell are you talking about!"

"What Lao Liu means is that if we stun it with a stun gun and cut it into pieces, it can keep up. If we cut off its head and throw it outside the zoo, it can keep up. Then, after hitting it with a few rounds of bullets just now, it can keep up." It was smashed into a meat paste, but it can still keep up."

"You're kidding, brother four!"

"Who the hell knows, this place is really fucking evil, if that thing didn't keep up, it doesn't mean it was killed, so the trick is to highlight, at least we have enough firepower now, and it can still kill it when it comes again of."

"Second brother, there's something wrong with this ghost place. When the water overflows, the water will flood. Why is there sand rushing through the water? This sand...how can it cover your feet all of a sudden? This fucking Bidays Island The Devil's Hole to the north is still..."

"Stop fucking talking, your eldest brother and third brother both gave their lives in the devil's hole in exchange for our lives, this time we all have to get out alive!"

Listening to the conversation brought by the sea breeze, Chen Yan pulled his foot out of the sand with an ugly face, took two steps forward with difficulty, and found that the sudden accumulation under his feet was not quicksand. Judging from the density and hardness of the sand, Look, it's almost like a normal beach-a beach with flood water.

The fishy smell of the sea became stronger, as if some dead marine life had been stranded on the beach, Chen Yan could faintly hear the sound of heavy breathing, which was not the sound that the lungs of mammals could make.

Chen Yan continued to concentrate on listening to the voices coming from the darkness. He heard about five voices, all of which were men, and he couldn't tell the age, but it seemed that they were not young. Footsteps, so Chen Yan judged that there should be other people besides these five people.

Before figuring out the identities of those five people, he decided to slow down his progress.

'It's from the Gunpowder Shop. '

Arist's voice appeared in Chen Yan's ear. This time, she used the way she communicated with Chen Yan when she just became an octopus, a method of directly transmitting the voice to her ears. Although she didn't know the reason, But it can achieve the effect of whispering.

Chen Yan thought that the mouthparts of an octopus are completely different from those of humans. It stands to reason that she shouldn't use the mouth of an octopus to speak human words like she did just now, or maybe her voice was loud enough just now, so he sounds like "Speak" instead of "whisper".

Now, she switched back to this "whispering" method, and Chen Yan felt a little more normal.

'The gunpowder shop people are dangerous, they do all kinds of business, so they usually carry weapons with them... We'd better avoid them. '

Chen Yan started to move according to Arist's prompt. He could probably judge the direction of the voice, and he tried to move forward while avoiding them.

As the distance from the source of the sound got closer, the water under his feet rose higher and higher. Chen Yan hadn't walked a few meters away, and the sea water had already reached his waist.

This situation is actually beneficial to him. Arist is attached to his back, pushing him to move forward, who knows how many times faster and less laborious than when he acted by himself before.

As the people from the gunpowder shop got closer, their voices from the wind became more and more clear.

"Remember, the eldest brother and the third child traded our lives for ours, just to let us live well, so we not only have to live a good life, but also live out the share of the eldest brother and the third child so that it is not a loss!
Let me emphasize again, after we go out this time, we don't have to worry about being liquidated by the defense guards, because we pay expensive protection fees every year——

We not only pay taxes to the empire, but also pay protection fees to the defense guards. There are no more serious taxpayers on Days Island than us!The Empire likes us just like that!
When those new adults have landed on the island and the logistics center opens, we will all be able to get a citizen ID card - then we will be completely cleansed! "

Chen Yan put his hands on the water, but the synaesthesia from the water was too weak, he could barely feel some complicated emotions - the emotions from them were complicated, which showed that they were not united.

A clearer voice came over.

"Second brother, you said whitewashing...meaning, by that time, our previous business will not be done?"

"One yard is one yard, business is still going on, but we can't be so blatant as before. The gunpowder store is open as usual. This is our old line of business. We can't let go of anything, but the pharmacy thing needs to be slowed down." , find an excuse to prevaricate them for a while, and don't contact them again in a short time."

"Second brother, otherwise we'll just kill the agent of the pharmacy."

"No, the pharmacy is a very evil place. You can't figure out the details, so you can't hack people."

"The pharmacy business is very profitable. We cut off such a source of income all of a sudden. Everyone can't stand it. So I found a new way for everyone two days ago-electronic waste."

"Second brother, what is electronic waste?"

"It's the old second-hand mobile phones, second-hand computers, and some chips in the mainland of the empire... I don't understand, anyway, they are similar things. If they are brought to Days Island, they can be sold for sky-high prices if they are repaired casually!
There are so many rich people on Days Island, and everyone doesn't have a mobile phone, so they don't have to worry about selling it! "

"How does this business work?"

"A guy named Thomas Gilbert contacted me. After finishing the big business tomorrow, I will go to the pier to meet him at night, make the first transaction, see how his goods are, and think long-term if possible. cooperate."

"It's true that the e-waste business is a lot safer than the pharmacy business ... but it's also a lot less profitable."

"At this time, you are still greedy for the business of the pharmacy! You are looking for death! We want to clean up! Clean up! We are going to go ashore! We will not do the business that lost our heads before!"

The former sixth child who was eccentric with yin and yang spoke again:

"We want to clean up our crimes, so we don't know if they are willing to help us, but don't be fooled by them with thick faces and dark hearts, and forget what you have done!"

"Lao Liu, no matter how f*cking you are, watch me shoot your hanging head off!"

"Fourth, don't be impulsive. The sixth is also for our own good... But the sixth, if you don't clean up, do you want to do those bad business for the rest of your life? The woman you brought home last month is pregnant. This time you What do you want? Still forcing her like last time..."

"Second brother, I understand what you mean. It's not that I don't want to clean up my crimes. I just want my brothers to understand that we have a criminal record and a criminal record. It is impossible for us to become citizens of the empire just like that. It may become a taxpayer all of a sudden. If we want to pick up the skin, it depends on whether others are willing to do it——

It all depends on the mood of the new governor!But mood, second brother, no one can say for sure. "

"Then sixth, according to your idea, how can we clean up the crime safely."

"Second brother, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"According to my idea, we not only have to peel off the skin, but also have to cut the flesh - to exchange the wealth we have accumulated into industries, like those big businessmen in the empire, we take out the money to build factories, build Schools, build roads, and make charity, in this way, our money will be really..."

"Lao Liu, let's discuss it again. After these things are done, basically we will have nothing left."

"Oh, second brother..."

"I think Brother Six is ​​right, but we also have to recognize the reality. Let me make an analogy——

Tomorrow's celebration banquet to celebrate the completion of the logistics center, they didn't invite us at all.

You see, even those who just came to Haijing Avenue to sell leather goods have received invitation letters. We have followed the defense guards up and down the mountains and seas, fighting evil sharks and suppressing bandits. 70% of the guns on Days Island are sold by us. If it weren't for us, what would they use to fight the natives?
We can be considered to have made great contributions to the construction of the logistics center, but our entire gunpowder shop has not received even a single invitation letter. This behavior of the new governor itself represents an attitude——

People don't like us at all! "

"It's not just as simple as looking down on us... I feel that the reckoning for us should come soon."

"Lao Liu, don't scare me!"

"I also feel something is wrong..."

"Damn it! Let's go to the celebration banquet and make a big deal! Why should we let them come to sit in the mountains and rivers we have conquered!"

"Fourth, calm down..."

"I can't calm down!"

When Chen Yan heard "go to the celebration banquet to make a big ticket", he vaguely realized something.

"Arist."

He called her name softly, and tried to keep his voice low enough.

"Tell me about this gunpowder shop in detail."

Ariste's faintly mocking voice also appeared in Chen Yan's ear at this time.

'The group of people in the gunpowder store were the first group of islanders on Days Island, but no one knew their origins. They had already set up camp on the island when the empire's ships landed on Days Island for the first time...

My father told me that they may be wanted criminals who came here from the empire in exile, but due to the long time, some wanted criminals who have not been arrested have been revoked, so their crimes cannot be traced back. '

With the wanted wanted revoked, there are no files left?
Chen Yan thought, it must have happened at least 20 years ago, or even 30 years ago.

But from the sound alone, the group of people in the gunpowder store are quite young, and the "second child" with the highest status is obviously only in his 30s.

Ariste spoke very fast, but Chen Yan didn't have to struggle to hear it, perhaps because of her unique way of whispering.

'They don't know how many generations of exiles they are... They can speak the language of the natives on Days Island and intermarry with the natives...but they failed to assimilate the natives, and the natives couldn't assimilate them. '

'Days Island is located on a warm current belt. Although it is located in the north, the winter is very short, the climate is pleasant all year round, and the vegetation is lush, so when the pioneers from the empire landed on the island, they encountered quite a lot of difficulties...

At that time, Days Island was already occupied by various pirate forces and native cannibals. '

Chen Yan could imagine such a situation.

'The Imperial Navy cleaned up most of the pirates in the first island chain, and most of the remaining pirates who could escape were vicious. At that time, Days Island was on the first island chain—more precisely, the first island The outermost edge of the chain, the only uncultivated desert island, has attracted many escaped fish who fled overseas under naval artillery fire. '

Chen Yan can probably figure out the scope of the first island chain.

'The pioneer group suffered heavy losses after landing on the island, so they had to seek help from them who were familiar with the island——

They claimed to be maritime merchants in the gunpowder business, and they only used Days Island as a temporary camp. Of course, the pioneer group did not believe it, but they did not expose their lies, nor did they attack them. The strength of the pioneer group at that time was limited. Less, so had to compromise with them.

They speak the imperial language, are familiar with the island's terrain and various faction divisions, and are not as violent as pirates. Apart from them, the pioneer group couldn't find a more suitable partner. '

With their help, the pirates and natives on Days Island were wiped out in large numbers, and the pioneer group was finally able to reclaim a highland in the first half of Days Island and establish a stronghold. '

"Days Island used to be known as the first island chain because of a large number of pirates gathering. It's not that merchant ships don't want to resupply in this unique place. There are too many pirates. If you get closer, you will be looted, let alone get supplies from the island." . '

'After the pioneer group wiped out most of the pirates, merchant ships began to settle here one after another—there is a downwind belt in the northwest of Days Island, which is the closest and most labor-saving way to the outer islands of the second island chain. The road means saving tens of thousands of pounds in boiler fees, and even the richest tycoons in Yanan City will not ignore such a sum of money. '

'In the next ten years, the pioneer group almost killed all the natives on the island, drove the pirates out of the surrounding waters of Days Island, and established a second stronghold and a third stronghold on the island... Days The island is getting more and more prosperous, the harbor is getting bigger, and there are more and more people... Please believe me, if you see Days Island as it is today, you will be proud of what the pioneers have done. They... We , is the light of human civilization. '

'And the gunpowder people...they acted as parasites in the development of Days Island. They did everything except the gunpowder business, and there were some shady businesses that would be hanged if they were exposed. , They absorbed the prosperity of Days Island and used the island as their nourishment. '

'They're always a big risk, both for the safety of the island and the logistics center itself.

Also... the frontier group organization including the defense guards agreed that if the new governor knew that such a group of people had participated in the pioneering process of Days Island, he would look down on the defense guards and other pioneers from the empire on Days Island Members of the group will also be deprived of the distribution of benefits that originally belonged to the pioneer group.

Therefore, everyone finally decided to make them disappear completely on the day of the celebration banquet for the completion of the logistics center. '

It turned out to be the case.

The guests at the celebration banquet such as Arist, as well as the gunpowder shop and others, became the invitees of the zoo in this way.
