Chapter 371 Little Wizard

An interesting little guy, but he is still too young and too innocent. After a little tricking, he can say everything.

Several Shadow Chasers looked at each other quickly. The little guy's words revealed too much information, but the more information he learned, the bigger the questions became.

Mechanical beast?Mechanical invasion?The little guy said it so casually, and he was really used to it. It seems that machines and humans in this world are seriously opposed to each other, and there is not another human force behind the scenes, but the machines act spontaneously.But look at the city, there are many mechanical equipment, that is to say, is this a smart machine?No, if it is intelligent, it will not be named a mechanical beast. Is it a mechanical beast?

"Oh, it's completely safe. Indeed, order will be restored soon." Shuer smiled thoughtfully, "But credit points are not easy to handle."

"Hey, you are not big shots in the black market, are you?" The five young people looked nervous and excited. The girl licked her lips and said expectantly, "If this is the case, then I should ask you for ten thousand five hundred." Credit!”

"Huh? The little guy is getting more and more courageous." Shuer raised his eyebrows and said with a sinister smile, "You know that we are people in the black market, but you still dare to blackmail us even more. Hehe, we even dare to do it to the government troops. Attack, aren't you afraid of getting [-] credits but losing your life to use them?"

"Wow, the tragedy at the regional outpost a month ago was indeed your fault. We have guessed it a long time ago." The little guy said with a sly look on his face, "I'm not afraid of you. We are residents of the Western Outer Ring District. Big shots like you are I won’t break the tacit understanding just for the sake of [-] credit points.”

"But we can do it secretly. Look, there's no one alive around now, hehehehe." Shuer rubbed his hands and smiled like an evil gangster. "Things that no one knows will not break the tacit understanding."

"Ah ah ah, don't come over here." Several little guys who were not yet adults danced and made noise for a while, but quickly calmed down, "That's not right, you still have to rely on us to lead the way out of danger."

"Shur." Saff suddenly interrupted Shur's continued bullying of the child, "There is a voice."

"Well, there is another battlefield outside." Shuer had already heard it.

As we walked through the trail, the brutal fighting and the roar of guns gradually faded away. However, after walking for a while, the sounds became louder again. Apparently they were gradually approaching other hunting scenes. Listening to similar sounds, guess what? Everyone can guess that the occupation will not be much different from what we just saw. The human side is also at a comprehensive disadvantage and may suffer annihilation at any time.

"No, it's not this." Saff pointed to the side, "There is a voice inside."

The location pointed to was the outer wall of a building. It seemed that someone was hiding inside without being discovered by the mechanical puppet.

"Mobak, be gentle."

"Okay." The dwarf suddenly became energetic, shook his arm, and the huge tower shield in his hand flew out in a spin, hitting the outer wall made of strange stone like a battering ram.The energy-infused tower shield carried astonishing destructive power, and a piece of the solid outer wall collapsed. Several frightened screams were heard in the dust. Fortunately, people here still felt very confident, and the screams only lasted. It stopped abruptly in less than a second, apparently covering his mouth.

"Wow, this personal armor is so powerful. When I saw it was so short just now, I thought it was a reduced version, but I didn't expect it to be even more powerful than the enhanced version. Is this the new generation of armor from the research institute?"

"No, we modified it ourselves." Xiuer blinked mysteriously, pointed at the big hole where the smoke gradually dispersed, and raised his index finger to make a silencing gesture to the older children, "Watch your mouth. .”

"Yeah." Several little guys nodded excitedly. At this age, they are most interested in mysterious events related to underground organizations, and they are even more excited to participate in it.

"Come out, we are human beings, if you want to survive, let's go together."

No, you are obviously a mountain elf. Looking at Mia who looked unhappy, Shuer swallowed his words wisely.

It seemed that human language gave the people inside courage. From the smoke, two men and two women emerged with gray faces. The clothes of the four people were much more glamorous than the five children, but now they were covered with dust and blood. , making the four of them look embarrassed.

"In the high-end area?" Mia asked coldly.

"Who are you?" A man who looked like a small boss said with a sense of superiority unique to the upper class, "We are from the municipal research institute..."

"It turns out they are not from the military, but from the municipal government." The little girl lowered her voice and said next to Shuer, "These guys are more annoying than the military. The military is just unreasonable. They are just annoying. It’s not for reward, I’m too lazy to save them.”

"How about you waive our reward and I help you kill these people. You are annoying them anyway."

"Wow, then I have lost a double share, uncle, don't treat us as fools, okay?"

"Hey hey hey." Several shadow chasers chuckled. These little guys are really interesting.

"Shut up." Mia's rebuke was of course not aimed at her teammates, but at the man who showed his identity in front of her. "If you dare to speak loudly again and provoke the mechanical beasts, I will throw you out to attract firepower." "You are from the military. Human?" Obviously, Mia's unreasonable attitude caused the man to misunderstand something, "What did your military do to make..."

"Who told you that we are from the military?" Shuer patted Mia on the shoulder, took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Praise the Holy Spirit, I..."

"Damn it, you are cultists who worship the Mechanicus." The other party's reaction was unexpected. The four of them actually took a few steps back at the same time. Two men had actually pulled out their weapons, obviously full of hostility.

"Whoa", a gust of wind blew up, the sword passed by, and the two pistols were broken into four parts. The cross-section was smooth, and even the bullets were cut.

"We will not believe in any mechanical beasts. We all have our own beliefs." Shuer's smile was not stiff at all. "Don't worry, we are not enemies, at least not now. We are here to save you. As long as you are enough Cooperate, for example, if each person pays five thousand credits, they can be successfully rescued. Think about it, it’s only five thousand. Anyway, for the residents of your high-end area, it is only a small amount, used to exchange for a life, don’t you think? What a bargain?”

"Hell, he's actually a black market desperado who wants money rather than his life." The four people all showed expressions that were about to cry, and the leading man pointed at the five minors and said, "No wonder they hang out with the residents of these low-level areas. Together."

Tsk tsk, the military, municipal agencies, worshiping the Mechanicus, the hidden black market, and the Western Outer Ring District known as the low-level area. The human forces in this world are really complicated. Shuuer and his teammates looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were filled with confusion. There was a sense of helplessness.

"I don't like to hear that title of yours, Mr. Municipal Official." Shuer's smile became dangerous. "I'm seriously considering whether to send you back to where you were. Think about it carefully, this business is very important to you." It’s not that important to us.”

"Let's pay, distinguished traders." He changed his face as fast as lightning, so he was worthy of the title of bureaucrat.

"Come and collect the money." Xiuer raised his fingers towards the little girl, "Five thousand per person, don't count the wrong zero."

"You told me not to think of us as fools, uncle, even if we can't count, why don't we still know how to count money?" The little girl protested, but her body was still honest, and she happily ran to the four of them, He took out a strange card and raised it in front of the four people.The faces of the four poor victims were full of pain. Obviously, five thousand credits was not as small a sum as Seure said, but compared with life, the four smart people still chose the latter.

"I'll give you a discount. It's calculated as one thousand and five thousand per person. Now you still owe me four thousand." When the little girl returned the card with a silly smile on her face, Xiure said sinisterly in her ear, "If If you dare to steal our share, hehe, you know what will happen."

"You profiteers are really as greedy for money as the legend says, even squeezing the pocket money of children like us." The little girl held the card with an attitude of refusing to give it to her, and also lowered her voice and said, "Xi The Outer Ring District is your black market ally, can you bear to blackmail our money?"

"Of course I can't bear it. Do you know why we call it this name? It's because our hearts are black."

"There is no precedent for the credits swallowed by me, Delia, to be spit out." The little girl refused to give in. "Don't forget, you still have to rely on us to lead the way. Hmph, twenty thousand credits is just right. At worst, I won’t think of ways to defraud you of more money, but if you let me spit out the money, don’t even think about it.”

"Since you are so determined, then choose a compromise plan." Shuer pondered for a moment, "I can give you all the money, including the people you save later, no matter how much money is negotiated, but as a price, You have been hired by us this month to be our guide."

"Guide?"

"Our usual whereabouts are relatively secretive and we are not very familiar with the city." Shuer didn't even blink. "We have to do something this month and we just need a guide. How about it? Are you interested?"

"You don't have any plans, uncle." The little girl took a step back vigilantly, looking at Xiuer as if she was looking at a pervert, "I warn you, I am the spiritual leader of the young generation in the West Outer Ring District , all the children listen to me, and if you plot against me, even if you are a profiteer in the black market, I will not let you have an easy time."

"Then refund the money."

"Don't even think about it."

"Then accept the conditions."

"I'm afraid you have bad intentions. My body is..."

"Then add another firearm like the ones they have." Shuer nuzzled at the four adults who were walking more carefully than the children. "Of course, the source must be illegal."

"make a deal."

The two eyes met in the air, bursting out sparks.
