The poor little girl picked up by the sweet girl turned out to be a cruel and vicious beauty

There are still many mercenaries left to look after the place, so losing one of the Qingluan Mercenaries won't be a big deal.

After quickly dealing with the black-robed man's attack, Lan Zhang sent people to take a look deep into the cotton forest.

Find out whether Lei Tian, ​​the leader of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Team, is alive or dead...

"Ah? Aren't we supposed to wait until the car from the base arrives before we leave? My wound is fine, and it's not bleeding anymore. I can hold on for a few more days without any problem."

When Ah Mu heard Lan Zhang's words, he thought his good brother was worried about his injury, and he was immediately moved to tears.

When Lan Zhang saw this, he rolled his eyes at him in anger. He was really impressed by this big-breasted and brainless guy.

Therefore, Lan Zhang could only get straight to the point and say: "No, it's these black-robed people who attacked us that gave us a very strange feeling. It will be very dangerous to continue staying in the cotton forest. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Lan Zhang's serious expression and firm attitude made Amu realize that he had to leave.

Having just experienced the attack by the black-robed man, Ah Mu also felt that the cotton forest was not very safe. It would be great to be able to go back, but...

Ah Mu looked at Ye Sheng standing beside him and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lan Zhang: "No, only members of the Qingluan Mercenary Group can leave by car. No one else can be taken."

After being stung by Lan Zhang's cold and ruthless words, Ah Mu immediately refused to do it and shouted: "What do you mean by other people? If Ye Sheng hadn't helped me, I would have died a long time ago. Look at the arrow stuck in this guy's chest. It was shot by Ye Sheng!"

"..."

Seeing Ah Mu about to throw a tantrum over a disagreement, Lan Zhang twitched his lips speechlessly, and did not reply. Instead, he really checked the crossbow arrow stuck in the chest of the black-robed man, and then looked at Ye Sheng who had put the crossbow back on his waist.

It was indeed the arrow shot by Ye Sheng.

Although they really didn't want to have any contact with Ye Sheng again, the Qingluan Mercenary Group had to show a proper attitude towards Ye Sheng's rescue of Ah Mu, and couldn't refuse Ye Sheng to leave with the car.

"It's okay, I'll go back with the others. We'll only be here for a day or so anyway."

When Ah Mu and Lan Zhang were arguing about whether to take Ye Sheng with them, Ye Sheng quickly waved her hand. She didn't really want to leave, but she felt it would be more dangerous to follow these mercenaries!

If you continue to stay and pick cotton, you can also get excellent rewards, and the most important thing is three hours of free cotton picking!

Even though Ye Sheng got snow cotton cocoons on the first day of picking cotton, which could be exchanged for ten kilograms of cotton, who would complain that cotton was too much? Take as much as you can, because you will miss it if you miss it!

"no!!!"

However, Ye Sheng refused to leave, and Ah Mu was the first one who was unhappy.

He absolutely cannot leave his savior in the dangerous cotton forest!

Even if my hands and feet are tied, I will take Ye Sheng away!

Ah Mu knew that he was not good at speaking, so in order to persuade Ye Sheng to leave together, he quickly raised his hand and pulled Lan Zhang beside him, signaling him to go!

Lan Zhang felt that today was the most speechless day, but for Ah Mu, he still spoke helplessly: "Now that you have encountered an unexpected incident, it's okay to leave early. The Qingluan Mercenary Group can help you settle it. The base officials will not deduct your salary, and you can still get the points."

"As for the three hours of picking cotton by yourself... although you don't have to pay it, you need to pay two-thirds of the cotton when you take the base's transport truck, otherwise you will be refused."

Lan Zhang's words hit the nail on the head.

Puncture Ye Sheng's beautiful ideas and face the cruel reality.

When Ye Sheng heard that he had to pay two-thirds of the cotton, he immediately cursed in his heart, the base officials were too shady!!!

You only need to hand in half of the potatoes you dig from the plantation!

(▼へ▼メ )

When Ye Sheng heard that he had become a black slave, his idea of ​​staying was immediately shaken. After all, picking more cotton would only benefit the base, so he might as well go home as soon as possible to reunite with the poor little thing.

"Can I take the cotton and leave?"

"Okay, you can put the three bags of cotton you picked today in the car and take them away, but you have to give one bag of cotton to the Qingluan Mercenary Group."

Lan Zhang replied to Ye Sheng in a businesslike manner. Ah Mu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but wanted to speak, but Lan Zhang raised his hand to cover his mouth and then explained.

"Ye Sheng, you saved Ah Mu, and Ah Mu will repay you, but the vehicle belongs to the Qingluan Mercenary Group, not to an individual, so everything is subject to the regulations."

When he heard that the interests of the mercenary group were involved, Ah Mu stopped talking and thought to himself... I must give more thank you gifts when I return!

Ye Sheng didn't care about it. She was able to take away three bags of cotton, which was obviously a profit for her!

A bag of cotton weighs about five kilograms. Even if you only take two bags, that's ten kilograms of cotton.

It's enough for her and the poor little one.

Even the one pound of cotton reward announced by the steward yesterday, I am afraid I won't get it... Although the steward is quite smart, he was unlucky and was killed by the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group.

The new manager who redistributed the area was also beheaded by the black-robed man.

Ye Sheng was speechless, thinking that he was some kind of elementary school student of the god of death? He would die wherever he went!

￣へ￣

"I'll go with you."

Ye Sheng made a decision quickly, which made Ah Mu happy. He was about to say something, but was interrupted again.

"Captain Lan Zhang! I found more than a dozen members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group dead in the depths of the cotton forest. Some of the workers' bodies were also sucked dry by blood-sucking aphids."

The person who was sent by Lan Zhang to explore deep in the cotton forest came back in a hurry, not caring about his shortness of breath, and quickly told what he saw.

Then he remembered Lei Tian from the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group and added: "Lei Tian is also dead. His head was cut off by a sharp blade and his body has been drained of blood."

"Well, go inform the other members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group to collect their bodies."

"Yes!"

After the mercenaries were sent to notify them, Lan Zhang frowned and told Ah Mu and Ye Sheng to get ready quickly and leave in ten minutes!

Although he disliked Lei Tian, ​​the captain of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group, he could not deny that Lei Tian was not weak at all.

In the end, such a person was beheaded... No matter how you look at it, these black-robed people are not kind, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

After hearing Lan Zhang's instructions, Ye Sheng asked Ah Mu to stay where he was and continue to rest, while she trotted off to meet Zhou Lin.

Although Ye Sheng wanted to take Zhou Lin away, there were too many people in the Zhou family, and the Qingluan Mercenary Group's four-wheeled vehicle was not large enough to accommodate so many people.

If Zhou Lin were asked to go with her first, she would not agree, and the Zhou family would not be reassured.

Therefore, Zhou Lin can only be more careful!

"Shengsheng, don't worry, my brother is here!"

When the two met, Zhou Lin nodded solemnly when he heard Ye Sheng was about to leave, saying that he understood and would definitely be careful!

The Zhou family was unlucky this time as they were attacked by men in black robes, and several unlucky people were hacked to death.

Now I am staying here to deal with the aftermath.

Ten minutes was not a long time. After Ye Sheng said goodbye to Zhou Lin, he immediately returned to Ah Mu. The two of them carried three bags of cotton and walked out of the cotton forest.

There were no attacks from blood-sucking aphids, and we left the cotton forest smoothly.

Soon, I saw the four-wheeled vehicles of the Qingluan Mercenary Group parked in a conspicuous position. There were six vehicles in total, and each vehicle could seat 4-6 people. However, because the mercenaries were all burly and strong men, they could only seat 4 people at most.

Five of the six cars were full of people, leaving only Lan Zhang, who was leading the team this time, because he hated crowds, so he was alone in the car with only Amu driving, no one else.

So it was logical that Ye Sheng sat with A Mu and Lan Zhang, and the remaining seats were filled with cotton.

But the bags of cotton took up quite a lot of space. Ye Sheng sat alone in the back row, and the last bag of cotton couldn't be stuffed in, so he had to put it on another four-wheeler.

It's finally arranged.

"Set off!"

The car that Lan Zhang was riding in took the lead and led the other cars to leave.

The car speed is not too fast, and the cool wind blowing on the face makes people relax.

Because it was an open-top car, Ye Sheng could see clearly all around, so he quickly discovered that there were more than a dozen four-wheeled vehicles following behind the car.

Ye Sheng turned around curiously and looked behind. Before she could ask, Ah Mu, who was driving, saw them through the rearview mirror and immediately explained: "Those are people from other mercenary groups. Because many people from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group died, they didn't dare to stay in the cotton forest any longer and were ready to leave with us."

"Ah, this? If they don't protect the workers in the cotton forest, isn't that a violation of the contract they signed with the base officials?"

"Well, in addition to compensation, violating the contract will also reduce the credibility of the mercenary group and make the base officials less cooperative... However, this time they encountered the riot and sneak attack of the blood-sucking aphids, so they would rather violate the contract and go back."

Lan Zhang, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, chuckled. He knew what the mercenaries were planning. They simply felt that the contract for the safety of the cotton forest workers was not that important, and the base officials would not ask for too much compensation.

In this case, it is better to go back as soon as possible to avoid encountering other dangers.

However, the number of mercenaries protecting the workers decreased, and those workers went on strike to save their lives, which led to a decrease in cotton production. The base officials finally held the mercenaries accountable, and none of them could escape.

Fortunately, the contract mission of their Qingluan Mercenary Group is to stop the blood-sucking aphid riot!

"Speaking of which, we came to this cotton forest at an unfortunate time. It would have been better if we had discovered it a few days earlier."

After talking about the vehicles following behind him, Ah Mu thought of those blood-sucking aphids and couldn't help but sigh.

Lan Zhang sneered at this time, and then said: "Discovered early? It's already very lucky to find a cotton forest. Do you think the wilderness is your backyard where you can play around freely?"

"But, I heard that this was information provided anonymously, and the base officials knew about it a long time ago! But they didn't send people to pick cotton immediately, and it took a few days, which led to the blood-sucking aphids riot."

Ye Sheng, who was sitting in the back row, remained quiet and listened to the conversation between Amu and Lan Zhang. When she heard the word anonymous, her heart skipped a beat and she panicked.

I always feel something is wrong...

"Maybe they sent someone to check the authenticity of the information. After discovering this cotton forest, more people will survive this year's blizzard, which is also a good thing."

Lan Zhang sighed and then said nothing.

Ah Mu also fell silent. He just drove the car like this, experiencing the blood-sucking aphids riot and the black-robed men's sneak attack. The exhausted Ye Sheng fell asleep in the shaking of the car.

When Ye Sheng woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the green wilderness all around him.

"Amu, what time is it now?"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon. In three hours, we will be back to the safe area of ​​the base."

Good guys!

Ye Sheng thought he had only slept for a dozen minutes, but unexpectedly, he slept for six hours...

I'm almost sleeping like a pig.

Seeing that he would be able to go home soon, Ye Sheng patted his chest, thinking that his previous bad premonition might have been a self-scare.

No matter how unlucky you are, you can't have bad luck all the time!

Just as Ye Sheng was thinking this, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, which made Ye Sheng look up subconsciously. As a result, he saw a drone flying by quickly, and at the same time, a ball dropped.

It fell straight down and landed in the car.

Lan Zhang noticed it quickly, his face turned pale, he picked up the ball and threw it far away, while shouting: "Be careful, it's a bomb!"

Manpower is limited, so the spherical bomb was not too far away and exploded in the next second!

The violent explosion overturned the moving vehicle, which rolled over several times like a movie special effect, and finally fell to the ground on its side, raising a cloud of dust.

When Ye Sheng heard the word "bomb", he immediately fastened his seat belt and raised his hands to hold the cotton bag tightly.

When the vehicle rolled over, Mianhua helped to absorb a lot of the impact, leaving Ye Sheng unharmed.

I just feel dizzy and a little nauseous.

Maybe a mild concussion.

While Ye Sheng was still feeling sick, Ah Mu and Lan Zhang had already gotten out of the car, weapons in hand, carefully on guard against the enemy hiding in the dark!

The guy who can pull out a bomb is definitely not a good guy!

"Haha, there are quite a lot of people here. It's a great harvest this time."

Unlike the mercenaries who were on high alert, a joyful voice rang out, accompanied by a whistle, and the familiar black-robed man reappeared.

However, unlike the time when Cotton Forest was attacked by a dozen black-robed men, now there are fifty or sixty!!!

Seeing this, Ye Sheng had a cat-like face, and now he knew that his bad premonition was correct.

This is an elaborate conspiracy!

As for who these people in black robes are...

"You are members of the Black Spring Freemasons!"

Lan Zhang spoke first with a serious look on his face, which made Ye Sheng feel chilled.

Chapter 73: Smell it, it smells so good~

Compared to Amu who can only say "Aba Aba", Lan Zhang's brain is much more flexible.
