Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 70
After dealing with Jiage, Lu Meng did not flee into the wilderness as others expected, but returned along the way he came.

That was supposed to be the place where the fog men were still plundering.

But Lu Meng is not too worried now.

Because it is dawn.

Fogmen are not ghosts who cannot see the sun, but they will also become physiologically uncomfortable when the sun dries the hub again.

Fangshi and his party are probably still using the hive tribe's habits to speculate on them, so they will think that this area has been occupied by the fog people and ignore this direction.

Or I dare not come.

He visually estimated that among this group of people, including Wei Yi and Wu Xin, the number of people who survived in the end was no more than five fingers.

Lu Meng and Xiao Gu hid their figures while patiently waiting for the sun to rise and the thick fog to dissipate.

The scene of the entire ruins also became clear.

There were mutilated corpses tied to the erected execution posts. The blood and slime of countless people were infected with the wood at the same time. Their weapons and clothes were scattered all over the ground.

The people in the fog gathered together strangely and kept kneeling towards the torture pillar.

If it weren't for the residual flesh and blood on their bodies and mouths, they would really look like a group of devout believers rather than human-loving monsters.

This may be a ritual or stereotyped behavior, but it has nothing to do with the original hive society. It may be related to the cause of the Fog Man.

'If you are brave enough, walk up behind them and knock one or two out at this time, and the other fog people will probably not care either.'

However, Lu Meng would not take this risk, and would just wait for the people in the fog to dismantle the torture pillar, and then disperse like a wandering spirit.

"Let's go." He patted his bones.

Feed the dog well before coming here to prevent it from losing control when it smells such heavy blood here.

After all, Xiaogu is still in his infancy and doesn't have enough self-control to play around, so he easily runs around the map.

Lu Meng also retrieved the lighting and his backpack.

He looked around and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

Then all that is left is his.

……

There were 34 corpses that could still be distinguished as humanoid, and 67 people based on the undamaged personal clothing.

There are 12 toothpick crossbows and 3 shooting crossbows, but they are all gray to white grade.

Several rounds of crossbow arrows with iron arrowheads were recovered.

Lu Meng stuffed all kinds of low-grade weapons into his bag.

Jiage's segmented ax Lumeng didn't carry it with him. This kind of weapon was really not worth much. To put it bluntly, it was just a big lump of iron. It was heavy and took up space.

That is to say, it is so popular because it is very consistent with the production capacity and racial talents of the Shaq family.

However, the craftsmanship used in higher-level segmented axes is different, and its power will also undergo a qualitative change at that time.

Then Lu Meng took the trouble to search everyone one by one. Not only did he take out more than 3000 coins from the pockets of all the poor people, but he also improved his [Expert Hand] level by level 2.

【Miaoshou 16→18】

With so much money, there should be one or two unlucky warriors in it, but now I can’t tell you from me.

And that's just cash.

The loot in Lu Meng's backpack has not yet been appraised, but it is definitely more than this.

As for weapons alone, these weapons are now "means of production". Most of a warrior or a gang member's wealth is tied to them. Having a weapon in hand is a guarantee to maintain class status, no less than that of previous generations. Luxury cars and mansions——

'It's fair to say, but it's worth it anyway. '

This was how Lu Meng felt at the moment.

However, these trophies cannot be converted into cash immediately.

These are all the belongings of major gangs. If they are taken to the market for recycling, their identity will be exposed on the spot.

Even consignment to the black market doesn't work.It's okay to say that one or two pieces were sold out through resale. With such a large quantity of goods, it is easy for the news to leak out.

At this time, using the Brotherhood to sell stolen goods is an option that can be considered.

But after all, it’s half price, which is a bit of a loss.

Fortunately, Lu Meng has other channels, and these stolen goods can be stored at the Brotherhood's contact point first.

Sorry, Brother Tang.

In addition, there are some unexpected surprises.

[Type A intermediate medical module]

Judging from the introduction, the medicines included in this module are mainly used to treat common diseases such as diarrhea and heat stroke.

Ordinary gangsters can't afford it.

It was probably prepared for Wei Yi.

The supervisor is also made of meat. Staying in a place like the hub station will inevitably cause some minor illnesses, but if you ignore them completely, it will also kill people when they become serious.

Lu Meng also put this small box away, and now he could treat more diseases.

There are also some other medical supplies, but they are mainly local medicines that the gang members use to stop bleeding and heal injuries. They can also collect a few rolls of bandages that have not been contaminated by blood, which is actually not bad.

But the biggest gain is the improvement of my own attributes and skills:

【Toughness 15→19】

【Perception 17→19】

【Crossbow 13→14】

【Machete 17→18】

【Miaoshou 16→18】

【Stealth 18→19】

【Medical 10→12】

【Cooking 11→12】……

[Actual combat level 32 → 36 (Warrior)]

During this operation, Lu Meng's basic attribute that had the most upgrade was [Toughness]. This shows how many sap injuries he suffered in the fog at that time - mainly the injuries he received in the fight with Wu Xin and Jiage. The latter even caused His left hand will no longer be able to regain normal mobility for a short period of time, and the use of various skills will also be reduced.

However, the level 19 toughness alone is enough to give people a strong sense of security.

Jiage was surprised that Lu Meng's strength was almost equal to his, but he did not expect that even in terms of physical toughness, Lu Meng was almost the same as this Shaq.

Moreover, the defense of the Sharks mainly relies on the irregular scales covered by the skin, and there are always gaps that will be missed. Lu Meng's [Toughness] is aimed at strengthening and reducing damage to the whole body.

As for the actual combat experience gained by killing Jiage, it is actually not as much as imagined.

The actual combat levels of Jiage and Lu Meng are actually very different, but it is only because of their racial talents that Jiage, a new warrior, is so fierce compared to other warriors in the hub.

In the same way, Lu Meng has mastered so many skills, and his real combat power is not just the numerical value of actual combat level.

Fortunately, the quality was not enough and the quantity was enough. Lu Meng killed three warriors tonight, and the actual combat level was still raised to 36.

Now, even if the single fog artificial bee has the characteristic of not being afraid of death and not knowing pain, it can no longer pose any threat to him.

After becoming a martial artist, even if you can't kill all the fog people by yourself, it won't be difficult to escape from them.

Just like Wu Xin.

However, judging from Wu Xin's strength, he should not be an ordinary martial artist. Whether it is his age advantage or specific actual combat ability, he is better than Old Tang.

"He uses a saber, and his physical skills are not weak, but he should still be based on sword skills."

The [Saber] is slower than the [Light Knife], but faster than Lu Meng's [Machete].

Moreover, the saber type weapon is better than a single weapon, while the machete type weapon is better than a group battle as it develops.

If faced alone, he would be at a considerable disadvantage.

Lu Meng restrained himself from evaluating his opponent.

At the current hub station, Wu Xin is a busy man. He has no choice but to look for him. Where can he look for him?

Moreover, Lu Meng will move to the street soon, and he will have to "rely on" their protection.

The sky fell, and someone helped hold it up.

……

North End, this is a small shack.

This kind of shack can be said to be the simplest kind of residential building in big cities. It can be built with only stone and wood and has only one room inside.

But among the ruins of this hub station, this intact shack seems so unique.

On the roof, a wind turbine made of iron sheets was running slowly.

It cannot provide much power, but the advantage is that it can operate in almost any wind condition. Even if the blades have been eroded by the wind and sand, this generator is still working hard to light up the lights in the house.

"Sorry, I failed." Wu Xin lowered her head, waiting for resignation.

At this moment, his saber has been taken off and hung on the shelf at the entrance.

"Why do you say failure?" A magnetic voice sounded, as gentle as the warm light in the room. "Aren't you a big success?"

"This……"

Wu Xin didn't know that this was not a mockery of him, but as far as he knew, the man in front of him was not a person who spoke sarcastically.

"You already know that it is the Fog Man who came to the hub, and not something else. Since the original purpose has been achieved, of course it is a success."

It turns out those are the Fog Men, but...

'We succeeded? '

In this operation, only one person survived in the end, and most of them died at the mouths of those monsters. What's even more disgusting is that more than half of the warriors lost were because of the bone-faced man named Lu Meng.

These are the real backbone of maintaining order in the city.

But from the man's tone, it seemed that their losses were not worth mentioning.

Wu Xin looked up at him.

The man in front of him was wearing clean linen clothes, with no decorations on his body, and he was not wearing any weapons.

He just sat on the couch in the room, looking at himself quietly.

Like a monk.

However, such a man with simple behavior is the actual ruler of the entire hub.

The "president" in Wu Xin's mouth.

Next to the president, there was an old man sitting quietly in a corner with his eyes half-closed, as if he was dozing off.

Wu Xin knew that this was the North District Supervisor and the earliest Supervisor.

It is said that he and the president were the only two people who first came to the hub. They were also the first to start the business of Fangshi in the north, which was later divided into the North District.

Now that the old man is getting frail, the president plans to select a new successor to replace him as soon as possible.

The President's concern for this North District Superintendent was unlike any other Superintendent, as evidenced by the gift of sitting with him now.

"Then Jiao Qi..."

"Since he is dead, there is no need to mention it again," the president waved his hand, "but I heard that Wei Yi became seriously ill after returning home. Are you telling me if it is true or just pretending?"

"From the subordinates' perspective, it should be true." Wu Xin recalled the scene, "Director Wei has lost a lot of weight."

"That should indeed be true." The president actually laughed out loud, "But it doesn't matter. Unlike Ken Li, Wei Yi can do his job while lying on the bed. It just makes him change his habit of counting money in person. Something wrong."

"But Mistmen... quite a few paladins have died in their mouths."

The president said this and looked at Wu Xin.

"Why don't you take this opportunity and let me tell you about the classics of the Holy Kingdom..."

The man pulled out a leather hardcover book from the bedside, with three flames dancing on the heart of the flame drawn on the cover.

"This way you won't show your timidity in the future."
