Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 464 The Eve of the Storm
From ancient times to the present, how many people are so arrogant that they dare to offer a reward to themselves?
As long as you don't think you've lived too long, you won't do such a crazy thing.

But Wang Teng did just that!

People who are not familiar with him may think he is a lunatic.

Even those who knew him would be deeply shocked by his arrogance.

Hidden under that arrogance is his absolute strength and confidence.

"In the evening three days later, Town No. [-]..."

Su Xia's deep eyes stayed on the system map, meditating quietly.

From his current location to the No. [-] town, if it was a normal period, it would not take an hour to fly directly there.

But now there are many patrolling soldiers of the machine clan around the city, they need to be vigilant and stop being so arrogant.

Even so, Su Xia probably only needs two or three hours to reach the mercenary town.

Before that, he had enough time to observe.

"The Nanfeng Organization will probably send out rescuers. At that time, not only will they have to find a way to rescue the dozen or so people, but they will also have to try their best to protect the safety of those people. It may be a little troublesome..."

Su Xia thought for a moment, moved her index finger lightly, and tapped slowly on the old cash register.

The radio channel belonging to the mercenary organization still has voices, but it is not related to the masked man, but about the unity of the mercenaries.

Wang Teng is a very ambitious person. He wants to make his title of "King of Mercenaries" a solid one, so that all mercenaries in the southwest region will recognize him.

Even, his eyes may have already seen beyond the southwestern region of the mainland, and he has seen farther places.

He may want to establish an alternative large organization, a terrorist group that is separated from the normal world.

"If it's really a trap, then it's likely that he and his subordinates are not the only ones ambushing there. There may be other forces involved, such as people from Zero Point Tavern, or people from the Southwest Mercenary Union..."

Although there is not enough evidence, Su Xia is basically sure that Wang Teng has reached some kind of agreement with the Southwest Mercenary Union.

They are like two thieves, one in the open and the other in the dark, absorbing the blood of the major chambers of commerce in the southwest region.

No matter who it is, as long as Wang Teng can be eliminated, his reputation will definitely rise like a rocket, and he will become the benefactor and savior in the hearts of many people.

"It's just that, with Wang Teng's prudence, will he personally sit in Town No. [-]?"

This time, Su Xia not only wanted to save people, but also wanted to kill people.

The matter between him and Wang Teng should have a result.

That guy was like a mosquito, making all kinds of news in his ears all day long. Although it didn't do much harm, it was enough to make people upset.

"If he is in Town No. [-], it means he has enough confidence." Su Xia continued to think, "Nowadays, news about me is flying all over the sky, and Wang Teng will definitely be able to estimate my strength."

"If he's not there, it means he doesn't have confidence in that trap or his own strength, and just treats it as a temptation..."

Su Xia slowly zoomed in on the map, wanting to see the mountains and rivers around the No. [-] town.

Unfortunately, since he has never been to No. [-] Town in person, there is still a lot of fog on his map. He can only compare the rough system map with the map explored by the player, and can't see too many details.

"The town is in a hill, surrounded by evergreen vegetation, which is suitable for hiding and ambush." ​​Su Xia slowly took off the earphones, "You can attack by force, or change your appearance, and mix in with many mercenaries. There are many ways. Come up with a proper plan."

"You're a little anxious." Wu Hongyu suddenly glanced at him and said flatly.

"no?"

Su Xia rubbed her chin, he was just thinking about the way to save someone.

This time, there were no task reminders, no rules and restrictions, nothing, it all depended on his personal actions.

And this kind of free movement is prone to unexpected troubles.

"Relax, the world can function without anyone." The woman Wu Hongyu said indifferently, she didn't care about the life and death of those members of the Nanfeng Organization, after all, it had nothing to do with her.

"Some people, if you can't be short, try not to be short." Su Xia said.

"Refining medicine can make you calm." Wu Hongyu said casually, "If there are too many things on your mind, you can let it go first."

"Well, that's true, thank you for your reminder, Auntie."

When refining the potion, you will indeed become focused unconsciously, get rid of all unnecessary thoughts, let yourself calm down, and only have the potion in your hand in your eyes and mind.

Of course, this approach is also a double-edged sword.

If the refining fails, that sense of peace will be instantly shattered.

If you fail many times, don't try to calm down, maybe you will become irritable, and your state is not even as good as before refining.

Hong Bafu was prone to becoming irritable before, and once he failed too many times, he would start cursing, and he might even crush the reagent bottle. After his father left, he became more stable.

Time passed slowly, the sun set to the west, and it was 06:30 in the evening.

Boss Zhao from the restaurant across the street shouted: "Master Su, dinner is ready, do you want to eat here?"

"Well, it's on your side."

Su Xia regained a smile on her face and nodded slightly.

In the past, when Dad was around, Boss Zhao would personally deliver the food to the restaurant every time.

But now, Su Xia thinks that is too troublesome, since it is just across the street anyway, it is more convenient to go directly to eat.

Once the old man left, there were only the three brothers left in the store, and there was nothing warm about eating, and they always felt that something was missing.

Hearing the sound of dinner being served, Hong Bafu was the first to run over, holding his stomach with both hands, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Boss Zhao, what is it tonight? I already asked about the fragrance."

"Master Hong, it's your favorite fried lamb and crispy lamb chops, cooked according to your taste." Boss Zhao replied with a smile.

"I'll tell you how familiar it smells!"

Hong Bafu's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and looked satisfied.

Both he and Lan Bafu had experienced the years of war where there was not enough to eat. At the worst time, the two of them were so thin that only a layer of skin remained, like walking skeletons.

If the father hadn't taken them in, the two of them would have become one of the countless dead souls in the years of war.

Therefore, eating has become his most enjoyable moment of the day.

There are not many people in the restaurant. The economic situation in Coral City is not very good now, and ordinary people seldom go out to eat in the restaurant.

On the round dining table at the entrance of the store, a group of children were sitting obediently in a circle, with big eyes shining brightly, looking forward to today's dinner.

After seeing Hongbafu, these children all spoke kindly.

"Uncle Bafu, good evening!"

"Good evening, Uncle Hong!"

"..."

"How many times have I told you, don't call me uncle, call me brother!" Hong Bafu sat down next to the children with a straight face, "I'm only in my 20s, but I'm a bit richer and look older!"

"Uncle Hong, the book says it's not good to be too fat." A little girl spoke with a sweet voice.

"what book?"

Hong Bafu rolled his eyes, and said forcefully: "It must be a pirated book! How can there be such content in a serious book?"

These children are naturally the children Su Xia brought back from the demolition accident in the east of the city last time. There are 12 of them in total, and they are Su Xia's first batch of apprentices.

According to Su Xia's arrangement, these children have been replenishing basic knowledge during these days.

The two blessings found the best teachers in the neighborhood for the children, and gave them tutoring every day, trying to use the fastest time to make these children reborn.

Among them, Zhao Qin's child, Zhao Xiaobai, is the fastest learner. He is very smart and has mastered most of the knowledge he should have mastered at his age.

He is also the one with the best talent in medicine among these children, and he can understand part of the medicine formula when he sees it for the first time.

At that time, Su Xia accepted him as an apprentice, not only because of the task of [Zhao Qin's last wish], but also because of his talent in medicine.

"Where did Xiaobai go? Why didn't you come back so late?" Hong Bafu looked around and found that there was no sign of Zhao Xiaobai at the dinner table.

After getting in touch with him during this period of time, he liked Zhao Xiaobai, a smart kid, and he was moved to accept him as an apprentice.

It's just that Zhao Xiaobai is Su Xia's apprentice, and he is not easy to grab, so he can only assist in teaching.

"Yes, why didn't you see Xiaobai?" Lan Bafu also came over and asked many children.

"Brother Xiaobai has gone to the east of the city." A little girl replied with her eyes wide open.

"What is he going to the east of the city for?" Hong Bafu asked.

"Go to teach." The little girl replied.

"Teaching?" Hong Bafu was stunned, "He is only in his teens, what kind of books are he teaching? Who are he teaching them to?"

"Teach our friends, friends who used to play with us in the slums, after Grandpa He passed away, no one can teach them..."

Several other children opened their mouths, one by one, telling the specific whereabouts of Zhao Xiaobai.

In the slums in the east of the city, where they used to live, educational resources are very scarce, and almost everyone is at the level of prenatal education.

There used to be a retired old teacher named He Qiubai who taught them for free, but after the accident, the old teacher also died in the collapsed house.

Knowledge is readily available to children in certain parts of the city, but those places do not include the slums.

Zhao Xiaobai was worried that those little friends would not get an education, so he spent half of the time every day studying the whole day's courses, and spent the other half of the time going to the east of the city to personally teach his friends and partners.

"Is that so..."

Hong Bafu was stunned, and felt emotional: "Xiaobai, you don't know how to tell us. We will definitely support this matter."

"It's so far east of the city, and it takes half an hour to drive. How can he get there? Does he have any money?" Lan Bafu asked.

"No money." The little girl replied.

"Oh? Why?" Lan Bafu asked again.

"There is a very handsome uncle named Chai An. He drives past the street every day to take Brother Xiaobai there." The little girl blinked her big bright eyes.

"Chai'an?" Hong Bafu thought for a while, and somehow felt that the name sounded familiar.

"He is the secretary of the city lord Qi Lang, who occasionally appears on TV." Lan Bafu reminded.

"Oh, I remembered." Hong Bafu nodded, "That guy wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, right? He looks like a gentle scum, and he doesn't look like a good person. Could he have plans for Xiaobai? ?”

"Xiaobai is only 13 years old and has no value at all. What can Chai An do?" Lan Bafu shook his head.

"It's hard to say, I heard that some perverts like children, especially little boys!"

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice.

Hong Bafu was a little worried, but Lan Bafu felt that there should be no problem.

Now it has been rumored among the people, and there are gossips on various online platforms. It is said that the current city lord Qi Lang is a waste, and he doesn't even understand the basic city economy. If it weren't for the help of a secretary named Chai An, he would have stepped down a long time ago. up.

Although many people have never seen Chai An, his name often appears in various news channels.

While the two were communicating, Su Xia walked over from across the street and sat beside Hong Bafu casually.

"Brother Su Xia, good evening!"

"teacher!"

"Good evening, teacher."

Seeing Su Xia, these children stood up from the stools and greeted him with immature voices.

Su Xia nodded slightly, waved her hands, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

He doesn't have too many rules here, as long as these children can study hard.

"Let's eat first. You should be hungry. Eat more. It's time to grow your body. You have lost too much before, and now you have to make up for it." Su Xia smiled and said softly.

Immediately, he turned his head, glanced at the two blessings beside him, and asked, "What are you two talking about? How did you sneak around?"

"Brother Su, it's Zhao Xiaobai's business..."

Hong Bafu turned his head, lowered his voice, and talked about his worries.

Hearing this, Su Xia's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "It's okay, that Chai An can be trusted."

"Really?" Hong Bafu was a little puzzled.

"Well, he also came out of the slums, not the kind of second-generation children who rely on family background and connections." Su Xia said.

"I see."

"You observe for a while, if Xiaobai's studies do not fall behind, then let him do it."

Su Xia is very pleased with this disciple's choice, and will not block him in any way.

In the future, pharmacist schools will need a large number of students, and the slums in various areas of the city are the best places for students.

"Brother Su, what are you doing these days? Do you want to go to the slums with us to observe?" Hong Bafu asked him.

"I'm...a little bit of a little thing these days."

"Small thing?"

"Well, little things..."

Su Xia's tone was as usual and she didn't say anything clearly.

In this world, killing people is really not a big deal.

……

At the same time, in the remote wilderness, among the rolling hills, there is a very special town.

This small town is the No. [-] town of wandering mercenaries that many business travelers hate.

In the northern part of the town, in a private room of a bar, more than a dozen people in black robes are discussing matters.

"Do you think that masked man will come?" One of them asked. He was tall, with a hideous scar on his face, and he was surrounded by a vicious aura. He was the person in charge of the No. [-] town.

"Probably not."

The other person shook his head lightly, and said: "The last time the masked man appeared in the north, it is impossible to return to the south so soon. Surrounded by the machine race, it is not bad that he is still alive."

"That's right, he's probably still lingering on a certain island." A person next to him said.

"Maybe he has gone to the other two continents."

"As long as we can wipe out all the people from the Nanfeng organization, don't worry about the masked man, he can't come!"

"What if he came?"

"It's even better if he comes!"

"Hmph! With Boss Wang Teng here, even if the masked man comes, he can only be buried here!"

Among these people, several people had an almost blind trust in Wang Teng. They believed that Wang Teng must have the ability to kill the masked man.

If not, why did he dare not come to Wang Teng because of the character of the masked man who must be revenged?
"Don't worry, even if Boss Wang Teng can't keep him, don't we still have President Luo Xi?" The person in charge of the town said, looking at one of the men in black.

"Ha ha……"

The man in black laughed lightly, raised his head, and slowly took off the black hood on his head.

The face under the hood was a little sallow, it didn't seem very healthy, it gave people a sick and gloomy feeling, it was Luo Xi, the president of the Southwest Mercenary Union.

"Thank you for your trust." He smiled faintly, "If Wang Teng can't keep the masked monster, and all the traps you set up are ineffective, then... I will take action myself!"

"Then thank you, Chairman Luo!" said the person in charge of the town.

"It's okay, just don't forget our agreement." Luo Xi glanced at the people present, he came here in person, naturally not just to watch the trial ceremony three days later.

"How sure is President Luo? How strong are you and that masked man?" One of them couldn't help asking, a little worried.

"Hehe, don't worry everyone, as long as he dares to come, this place will become his cemetery."
