Welcome to the alien city

Chapter 73 Protection Fees

It turns out that a little insect came.

Gu Li patted Irwin on the shoulder and asked him to put her down. Her nonchalant attitude seemed to anger the insect.

The swarm of insects shuttled under the feet of the crowd stirred for a moment, as if they were about to rush in this direction, but they forcibly restrained themselves and put them back.

Those bugs continue to be trampled unconsciously by everyone, constantly sacrificing themselves, and constantly pouring out to fill the gap.

In this silver hall, nearly a thousand people lived in harmony with countless insects for a time. The countless squashed insect corpses made a quiet and clear sound, and the dark green mucus that exploded covered everyone's soles.

Gu Li glanced at the open door not far away. It was easy to get out, but the most important thing was that these insects were pupating on the ground. What did they want to do?

Irwin suddenly put his hand on her shoulder and asked hesitantly: "Is that someone you know?"

"Ok?"

She followed Irwin's hand and looked over, and saw the weak, helpless and pitiful hapless guy huddled in the crowd. His face was blue from holding back, and he was winking hard in this direction.

Ah, it’s Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng almost shed tears when he saw that Gu Li finally noticed him. He stood on tiptoes and moved slowly beside the insect corpses that were gradually piling up on the ground.

His face was full of collapse, and he spun and jumped towards the direction of Gu Li and the two of them, with unbearable veins popping out on his neck.

As soon as he arrived in front of Gu Li, he plopped down on the ground and hugged her thighs. Of course, he did not forget to avoid the insects under his feet.

His tone was emotional, sentimental, extremely sentimental, and extremely flattering: "Sister! Boss! Please save me again!"

A day ago, Gu Li would throw off the large pendant on his leg and let him crawl indifferently.

Now, she pondered for a while, stretched out a hand to Zhang Heng, and the payment code on her wrist popped out.

"Settlement of the thank you fee and protection fee. We don't accept credit. Things are easy to discuss."

The person who had noticed the movement here sneered. What kind of show was this being performed today? It was better to ask this sick little girl for help than just pray on the spot that she would not be separated from cleaning the battlefield.

"drop!"

The crisp sound of transfer came.

Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief and transferred the five hundred thousand yuan very neatly. Then he tightened his hands and thighs with a peaceful expression.

He smiled very flatteringly: "Boss, is that enough?"

Gu Li looked at the newly arrived 500,000 yuan and nodded. He didn't expect that he had raised 1 million yuan so quickly just before he set off and started the mission.

It’s not hard to make money! (tremor)

But of course, she couldn't let her current clients know this. Gu Li clenched her fists and coughed on her lips: "I think the current situation in the base is about to get chaotic. Remember to follow me later."

After she finished speaking, she paused and looked at Irwin with all her eyes. Seeing that he had no intention of paying the protection fee, she said regretfully: "For the sake of helping me just now, you can follow me."

Irwin's calm green eyes roamed back and forth between Gu Li and her thigh pendant for a moment, with an expression of confusion and suspicion, choosing not to understand but to respect.

Under the gaze of sky-blue eyes, he nodded cooperatively.

"Thank you."

Gu Li turned around with satisfaction: "You're welcome."

The people standing around rolled their eyes, what time of day it was, and there was still time to coax the children.

Not interesting.

Irwin didn't pay attention to the gazes around him. He kept paying attention to the movements in the crowd. After observing for a while, his face suddenly became ugly.

He reached out and took Gu Li's arm in his hand, and winked at Zhang Heng who got up from the ground.

The group of people moved toward the gate without leaving a trace.

Gu Li looked away from the insects that were rushing forward one after another, and looked at Irwin thoughtfully: "What did you find?" Irwin's green eyes were a little solemn, and he glanced at her but did not tell his guess. .

He just noticed that the smell in the hall gradually became fishy and turbid, just like every time he... met the alien species.

Zhang Heng raised his hand with a solemn face: "Boss, I know, I know! That's the summoning array!"

He didn't know why no one else could see it, but he actually saw the pattern that was gradually becoming familiar!
  He almost died at the hands of that thing two days ago, and before he left, the law enforcement team hadn't even found out the reason!

No one knows the summoning array better than him! (Put your chest out)

An idea flashed in Gu Li's mind, and he suddenly understood where the inexplicable feeling of familiarity came from. He stood at the door of the hall and called up the photos in the communicator to compare with the scene in front of him.

After a while, she murmured: "I'm afraid it won't be a little thing this time."

With so many insect corpses that could not be considered low-level species as the formation, and the thousands of people in the formation being sacrificed, I am afraid that they really are the "kings" that White Mark whispers.

Seeing that the magic circle in the hall is almost completed, the base has not noticed anything wrong yet, and I am afraid that the situation in other places is not good either.

They must leave quickly. This base is no longer safe. They must find a way to prevent that thing from coming, or... leave the base before it completely comes.

Gu Li took one last look at the commotion in the crowd, raised his eyebrows and ran along the way he came, deliberately kicking when he passed the huge metal door.

We can't cause too much commotion in an open and aboveboard manner. Now it's better to distract a few people!
  A huge buzzing sound echoed in the space, causing even greater commotion in an instant.

No one present was recruited voluntarily, and when they saw Gu Li taking the lead, he ran out.

After a brief hesitation, a small number of people rushed out and followed.

Zhang Heng saw her leaving as soon as she said so. He quickly shouted and followed: "Hey! Boss, wait for me!"

Irwin looked at Gu Li's running speed with surprise flashing in his eyes. He took one last look at the hall and followed him without hesitation.

He quickly ran to the level with Gu Li, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the furry figure beside him, his expression serious as if he was solving a problem of the century.

Before he spoke, Gu Li gestured to the intersection ahead: "You can't see what's in the hall. You'll know when the things in front come out later."

Gu Li glanced behind him distractedly. After they ran out, sure enough, the door of the hall was immediately controlled and closed.

The white mark responsible for managing these thousand people is already a nest of insects. The first task is probably to complete the magic circle, and there is no time to chase after it.

She stared straight ahead and stopped. There were dense rustling sounds at the empty corner. She held the cane in one hand and pulled it out of the suitcase.

The two people beside them stopped in confusion, and dozens of people who followed them and ran out cursed secretly when they saw the door of the hall being closed.

The leading man had a prosthetic eye embedded in his face and turned around viciously: "I think they have bad intentions. I got goosebumps from being in that place just now! I won't accompany you anymore!"

The others also felt the same, and followed the man with the prosthetic eyes past Guli and the others. They wanted to find the spaceship and leave this miserable place!
  Gu Li's cane knocked against the silver wall, and the crisp impact made the man with artificial eyes pause.

"I advise you not to go any further."

"Something's coming."

The man with prosthetic eyes twitched his lips, but when he heard the rustling sound getting closer and closer, his expression changed drastically.

An impatient person rushed out of the corner, but lost his voice in an instant.

Those people seemed to have entered a different dimension, without even a trace of footsteps.

The atmosphere in the corridor became anxious.

Gu Li moved his arms and patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder: "You follow Irwin later, I will open the way."

The fiery red coat on her body swayed in the air as she moved, like fiery red wings swaying behind her, making her pale golden eyelashes appear a touch of red, rarely revealing a hint of childishness.

Irwin saw this in his eyes, frowned and avoided her reminding hand: "No, I'll go."

He looked at the somewhat astonished looks in their eyes and added patiently, "I'll open the way, you follow me."
