Returning from the abyss

Chapter 605 Danger Signal
When returning to the Anvil camp, Lu Ning could clearly feel a tense atmosphere spreading.

The camps maintain an attitude of keeping away from each other, and occasionally communicating with each other is only to the extent of sending two or three messengers to deliver news. Once a large-scale team appears near another camp, it will be regarded as "hostility".

The Anvil camp has been stationed at this place for a while, and the settlement of the camp must have sent a message to other camps. Before sending the signal to dismantle the camp, the rest of the camps should avoid this place.

"Lu Ning, are you back? Now everyone is discussing the porphyry camp, and many people have no intention of working." Yuan Jie happened to be taking a break in the camp, and also sent a real-time broadcast to Lu Ning.

"What did the leaders say?"

"It seems that they are still discussing. After all, it hasn't been long since those people came back. There must be a reason for the appearance of the porphyry camp. Under normal circumstances, such actions will not be made between camps. They are probably discussing whether to send the camp first. People to contact or call directly.”

Yuan Jie frowned and thought about it carefully, and then said: "By the way, they also mentioned that you were collecting information there, and they probably will ask you to ask questions soon."

"That's a trivial matter." Lu Ning nodded, "Did Wen Dongyang say anything?"

"He also has to follow the orders of the leaders, nothing can be changed."

Lu Ning shrugged. This is indeed a characteristic of the camp. The leader's decision ultimately determines everything, and other camp members don't even have room to participate in the decision-making.

She returned to her tent, and just after drinking two sips of water, someone came over and asked her to report the situation to the main tent.Lu Ning responded, and followed the man to the outside of the main tent.

The place where the leaders live is at the core of the entire camp. Not far from the main tent is the largest fire in the camp, and the tent itself looks slightly different from the other tents.

Of course, this was the first time Lu Ning had the opportunity to come in.Behind the dark and solemn door curtain is a curtain wall supported by a large number of wooden brackets.The road was long and somewhat depressing, as if the tent had been re-planned into different partitions and divided into several corridors.

But in fact it wasn't that long. Lu Ning felt that she had walked for more than 20 seconds. When she turned to the right, she saw a normal space.The ground is covered with black velvet carpets, and five seats are arranged in an arc on the edge of the tent, where the leaders sit.A bright but non-glare light softened the place a bit, and the expressions on the faces of the five leaders were also different.

For the two that Lu Ning knew, Xishi had an indifferent expression, while Snake Locust was sneering.Of course, nothing could be seen from the faces of these two people, she could only look at the leader in the middle who was on the main seat - Hengfeng, she had heard this name from many people.

"Lu Ning, we called you here to find out what additional information you got after that."

Hengfeng spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, with the stability of a middle-aged man, it was the kind of voice that sounded very reliable.

"Yes, respected leader." Lu Ning nodded slightly, as long as she maintained the basic etiquette with the leader.

"Everyone, are you ready to hear the details?" Heng Feng looked around.

"Let's talk, but the most important thing is to let the messenger bring back the news. I don't think the porphyry camp will leave any reason why they suddenly came nearby during a hunting operation." Xishi said.

Heng Feng waved his hand and looked at Lu Ning again: "Please tell us, Lu Ning."

"As Xi Shi's leader said, it is impossible to intuitively understand why they suddenly appeared nearby in the traces they left, so I can only speculate on this part."

"It's okay."

"First of all, when we first met them, I found them ambushing behind a rock with unknown intentions. After I led the butcher out of the stone forest, they went straight forward and launched an attack, and they were quite well-trained. Attack. I collected the traces left on the scene, including the area where they crouched, and found that the quality of the weapons used by these people should not be particularly high-quality."

“How come you see?”

"It can be seen intuitively that their weapons are standard equipment mass-produced from the outer city arsenal. The two butchers have relatively special defensive capabilities. These people have avoided the collision of weapons with their own skills. Obviously they are worried about themselves. The weapon was damaged. Even so, this kind of thing still cannot be avoided in the battle, I collected some fragments of the weapon.”

Lu Ning took out a few pieces of metal from her pocket, all of which were only the size of a fingernail. If "Suddenly Yesterday" was not able to extract the battle process by frame, it would be difficult for her to find out where these pieces fell, but this There is no need to say.

Heng Feng took the piece of metal in Lu Ning's hand, pinched it with his fingers, and nodded: "It's a general-purpose military alloy."

This kind of alloy is specially used to make cold weapons. The quality cannot be said to be bad, but compared to the various monster-like materials in this scene, it is indeed just a high-end product.

"The special hunting team uses this broken equipment?" Snake Locust clicked his tongue, "It seems that something really happened to their camp."

The leaders started to discuss, and Lu Ning temporarily stopped narrating.This is provided as the first evidence because the equipment used by the people in the porphyry camp is a bit too poor.Compared with the weapons used by the people here in the anvil camp, all experienced black engraved weapons are slightly unique weapons, at least they cannot be cut off a few pieces casually in battle, and they are resistant to poison, blows, and magic. Such additional attributes should at least have a low-level one on it.

In contrast, the porphyry camp is simply using refugee equipment to fight against the butcher. If it weren't for its good strength, a few people might die.

"What kind of thing caused Porphyry's equipment to directly regress to such a level? The team responsible for killing the butcher is the backbone of the entire camp. Except for the leader and the captains, their equipment should be the best." The leader sitting on the far right asked.

"I'm afraid it's a butcher." Xishi finally became serious, "Recently, I have received some reports that the strength of the butchers who appeared after the bleak fog has increased to a certain extent. Do you remember the messenger yesterday? Some people have suggested it to those super butchers." Specially named, gathered the elites of each camp to go to crusade."

"What strength is it?" The last leader asked in a deep voice.

"A leader almost missed." Xi Shi waved his hand, "Although the leader didn't bring his own treasure, it was a bit too big, but it is an indisputable fact that the super butcher has begun to become a threat."

Hengfeng nodded: "Recently, some bonfires have suddenly disappeared. If there are fewer bonfires in the wasteland, there will be more and more darkness."

"We have no choice, tsk." Snake locust snorted, "The number of people on the anvil is just right now, and we can't tell anyone to relight those bonfires. Maybe wait until the next time the outer city sends out a large number of new black engravings." We can train some worthy people, but now..."

"Let's deal with the porphyry issue first. Lu Ning, you can continue." Hengfeng interrupted Snake Locust and said to Lu Ning.

"After that, six black engravers joined the battle. They should be unorganized people. They can use treasures and their weapons are of better quality. With their help, the two butchers were quickly killed. What's more special is that, They didn't recover the bullets and arrows used in the long-range attack, but I didn't find them around."

"Long-range weapons with recycling properties...it seems like some high-end weapons." Heng Feng nodded, "Other than that?"

"In the end they left together. I think we should consider the fact that these six black engravers intend to join each other. As for the porphyry camp, with the current situation, they may welcome the entry of six new troops."

"If they are really facing such a situation, we can't help but worry about the reason that caused their strength to plummet." Heng Feng folded his arms, "Even if they take the risk of provoking us, they have to come here, which means that they are The self-preservation ability is already worrying. In this case, we don’t need to worry about the war between the porphyry camp and us, and this negotiation should be able to be facilitated.”

"Then do we need to carry out a joint crusade? Indeed... the wasteland is too big, even if the camps are moved regularly, it is impossible to sweep all the places, and how to protect the camps in case of a sudden attack by those super butchers hiding in hard-to-find corners is also a problem .” Xi Shi said.

"We will kill those butchers." Heng Feng said, "Being called a 'super' just increases fear. Heike was born to kill butchers, and we have the ability to do it."

Just then, another person came to report.

"News from the Porphyry Camp."

"So fast? Our messenger has just set off..." Xishi frowned.

"It's someone sent by the porphyry camp!"

Heng Feng nodded: "It seems to be as we guessed, Lu Ning, thank you very much for your information, we will add a merit to you, you can leave now."

"It's a pleasure to help you, Leader."

Lu Ning bowed slightly, turned around and left the main tent along the way she came.

She saw the person from the porphyry camp outside the tent. The main clothing style of each camp is somewhat different. This person is also wearing the black and white spotted clothes, and there are obvious scars on his face. The fact that one person was sent here also showed that there was indeed a shortage of available people in the porphyry camp.

But... Super Butcher?It seems that something will be done soon, and the action here must be stepped up.

That night, Lu Ning called all the tourists and teammates to her tent, and described in detail what happened during the day to everyone.After a moment of understanding, Jean spoke first: "According to the criteria of our tourists, the time we enter is generally when something is about to happen, or something has already happened."

"Do you remember the situation of Alex's camp?" Lian Bisheng reminded, "Everyone... I think it's the one in the back."

"After all, we encountered a gloomy mist as soon as we came." Yan Rong nodded, "If we don't deal with it well, it will indeed be a first-time killing. We have also seen the red alarm bell, and the situation of collective rage may also lead to sudden changes in the situation."

Among all the seven large-scale events, only the bleak mist has a certain periodicity and some foreshadowing. The rest are all emergencies, and it is normal for the bonfire to have no time to respond.

"Wait, isn't there too many reasons for the bonfire to go out?" Yuan Jie was a little confused, "First I guessed that there was an uninvited guest talking about it, then I thought there was something wrong with Edmund, and now the super butcher was killed again." Stimulus passing by by chance?"

"The truth is not important, what is important is that we need to know exactly what to guard against." Zhu Qinyuan said coldly, "Since Lu Ning said that the other team has gathered all the treasures of the whole team, we probably have to list this as well." It’s on the schedule, and it happens that we can spare the rest time of the shift tomorrow, so why not explore a ruin as soon as possible, I don’t want to fall behind too much.”

Everyone looked at her and knew that Zhu Qinyuan really wanted a treasure of his own.

The existence of treasures is not a secret in the eyes of the strong. Wen Dongyang also knows something about it, and the leaders must have their own treasures.From this point of view, the management of the nobles is actually quite loose, or almost encouraging people to take out their treasures.Lu Ning thought for a while, but still asked her question.

"Treasures should be things left by the king to people, right? But the few treasures I saw today don't seem to be very beautiful."

She briefly described the treasures.

"If this is a famine that is so painful that you want to forget it, then it is really inappropriate." Jean thought for a while and said, "But you should also notice that all the things written on the treasures are similar to abandoned , Throwing away such things, what the king may have done was to cut these pains and misfortunes out of the country, and make them into powerful weapons."

"Then where did he go?" Yan Rong asked a question that pointed to the core.

"We should be able to find him, otherwise how would we bury him?" Lu Ning said.

=
There are chaotic clouds floating in the sky, and there are countless bloodthirsty shadows under the deep night.

"This is the wasteland."

Several people walked out of the station, wearing heavy coats and holding different weapons in their hands.

"The news that Sanchele sacrificed his life for, we can't waste it." A muffled voice said, "Since we have left the outer city, we have no other choice. No matter who dies, we must reach the entrance of the tide—we have to Get on the train."

"There is the 'Junjian', one of the four major legions, sitting there." Another female voice said, "They are not research-oriented forces like nobles, but real combat troops..."

"Are you afraid, Isimpova?"

"Chaotic scene, I have this kind of preparation, but is it because we are too impatient? Even if we accumulate a little more power, or get one more treasure..."

"We will be killed by foreign affairs officers." The person said at the beginning, "White foreign affairs officials, Mist's lackeys, who let us understand their real core research content? I would not let these people go. "

"The situation in this scene is already too scary..." the voice said in a low voice.
