Chapter 158: Secret

This is a noisy city. The population of more than 50,000 has brought enough prosperity. A large number of abandoned buildings left over from the old era to the present have become the best place for people. There are shops everywhere on both sides of the street. The lively area is mostly concentrated in a small area in the middle of the city. The surrounding area is surrounded by the ancient ring road, but the silence that continues from the last century to the present.

Liujin City is an open city full of sins and bad habits. Taverns open all night are almost everywhere in every block. After nightfall, there are drunken drunks and stumbling drunks everywhere. There are men, women, and even half-sized teenagers. They are drunk on the streets, and their nauseous vomit exudes a pungent choking smell. Thugs, pickpockets, and prostitutes perform their own dirty professions in the streets and alleys. The casinos are crowded and noisy and chaotic. Every night, there are knives or group fights. In short, people living here rarely work and farm, and they rack their brains to earn money without work.

This is not an empty and illusory delusion. Liujin City does have the special advantage of making people make money by sitting.

It has a large water purification treatment factory with complete facilities, which is enough to maintain the daily needs of nearly 100,000 people. Because its location is adjacent to several nearby light radiation areas, and most of the roads left over from the old era remain intact, Liujincheng naturally became the intersection center of several major forces, and its trade scale is even several times higher than Emma City. The busy transactions and a large influx of people have brought new vitality to the lonely city, and the convenience of residential buildings is not needed, which has caused the urban development speed to skyrocket, and has also brought a lot of wealth to make wealth. Without the need to cultivate land, the residents of Liujincheng can also buy enough food in the market.

The convoy that drove out of the city soon passed through a large abandoned block and slowly entered the center of the city along the spacious highway. Signs of taverns and casinos could be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Several idle men leaned against the wall, looking coldly at the strangers passing by with their fierce eyes as fierce as wolves.

Under the dim street lights, women in groups of three or three gathered together. Their clothes were exposed, and their smooth long legs were very eye-catching. Their upper body dress tended to be transparent, and their plump breasts were squeezed particularly conspicuously by their tight breasts. Seeing the convoy coming, the women posed in the most seductive posture, revealing their protruding buttocks and swollen chests, screaming and kissing at the stranger sitting in the car. Until the convoy drove past, they were extremely disappointed and suddenly burst out with a dirty and vicious curse.

Lin Xiang easily found his goal - at the end of the street, near the south of the circular square, there was a bustling area shining with dense lights. In the middle, there was a huge building with a Gothic-style pointed conical roof, and the neon lights hanging on the top of the door were constantly changing into various beautiful patterns.

Only the most wealthy and power will make such a waste of energy.

More than a dozen strong men who were obviously guarding the door, chatting and teasing each other in boredom. Like the men on the outposts outside the city, they all wore short-sleeved combat suits with desert camouflage, and their naked arms were covered with various scary tattoos. The lights shot from afar made them instinctively alert to strangers, and hostile eyes were projected from all directions, holding weapons in their hands, and the muzzle was pointing towards the direction where the convoy was located.

"We are mercenaries who have been commissioned. Please take me to see Mr. Solomon." Faced with the vigilant inquirer, Lin Xiang gave the same answer as before at the checkpoint.

...

A few minutes later, a woman with an angry figure appeared in front of the entrance of the building. The guards on both sides of the door shook and immediately straightened their already tall body a little straightened. The playful and playful expressions on their faces disappeared instantly. It can be seen that this is a person with a very high status and power.

She was wearing a white silk shirt, the hem of the dress was just rightly closed, and her long legs wrapped in transparent stockings stood straight and obliquely. Her slender and snow-white neck and slender fingers resting on her waist released the elegance unique to women in the old era. The slightly raised eyebrows were outlined very sharply, revealing a bit of obvious arrogance.

"Who wants to see Mr. Solomon?" She shouted impatiently, and her condescending eyes naturally gathered on Lin Xiang, who was standing next to the steps. The anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes were immediately replaced by surprise.

"We have received relevant task entrustment." Lin Xiang took a few steps forward and handed over the mercenary qualification certificate issued by the Skeleton Knights.

The woman took the document and quickly browsed the contents on the paper. She was spinning back and forth on his body from the corner of her eyes, and even deliberately thrust her chest, which was so big that it was difficult to be bound by the coat, so that the top of the cone of her breasts was no more than five centimeters away from Lin Xiang's arm.

For this naked teasing, Lin Xiang could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and quietly took a step back.

It is also a big problem for men to be too handsome.

But I don’t know what happened. Lin Xiang felt that compared with the old days, his appearance had changed to a great extent. This change should be caused by viruses parasitic in the body. While repairing the scars in the body, they also cleaned up various minor injuries on the surface of the body. Blackheads, microspots, accumulated liposomal knots, epidermal damage caused by rubbing... Even the melanin deposited inside the skin will be completely removed by the virus as a non-physiological substance that is not conducive to the body. The result of this makes his skin smooth and tender, even more than the women who were best maintained in the old days.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Xiang is becoming more and more beautiful.

Of course, this is not entirely a bad thing. Just like now, Lin Xiang believes that with just a hint or look, this seemingly cold and arrogant woman will immediately bring herself into her boudoir and spend a wonderful night together.

...

When he walked into the inner hall of the building with his head raised, Lin Xiang couldn't help but be shocked by the luxurious decorations he had seen.

Judging from the marble materials laid on the walls and the ground, this building should be a hotel in the old era. Looking around, even in the corners of the hall, there is no sign of dust and dirt accumulation. More than half of the floor edges in the hall should have been replaced for a short time, and there are still shallow white gray lines, which is rare in the wasteland world where supplies are scarce. What is even more surprising is that there is a small pool in the center of the hall, with exquisitely designed pipe grooves spraying splashes of spherical splashes. Walking by the side, the water droplets splashed on the back of Lin Xiang's hand, which was cool and comfortable, and was treated with radiation-free water.

Even in the old days, it took a lot of money and energy to maintain the operation of this pool. From this point of view alone, the owner of the building obviously has a powerful power supply system. It is too luxurious to spend precious energy on this meaningless decoration.

Taking two guards, Yang Hua and the rest of the people were left to guard the truck. Lin Xiang followed the woman who led the way into the elevator. He couldn't help but guess who was the employer Solomon he was about to meet?

...

When the red numbers flashing on the top of the elevator were frozen on the "six", the closed alloy door panels slowly retreated to both sides, and a spacious passage with light red wavy velvet carpet appeared in front of you.

Armed guards wearing desert camouflage can be seen everywhere in the corridor. They are well-equipped, mostly imitated assault rifles, and their bodies emit the unique supernatural aura of mutants. According to their strength evaluation, the strengthening level should be about level 2 to 4.

From the outpost card outside the city until entering the city, Lin Xiang has been silently calculating the number of armed personnel wearing such camouflage combat uniforms. In addition to the guards patrolling the corridor, it is now seen that more than 200 soldiers belonging to Liujin City, and each of them has the enhancement power generated by injecting potions. Based on Sosbia Yuan as the measure, the price of the second-level enhancement liquid sold by the Joint Doctors Association is about 12,000 yuan, which is definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people. There is no doubt that the enhancement powers possessed by Liujin City soldiers are not a reflection of personal financial resources, but from the highest controller of the city.

Two hundred strengthening people are a big number. If it weren't for the cooperative relationship with Liu Yuchen and could get a lot of support from the Joint Doctors Association, Lin Xiang would find it difficult to spend a lot of money to buy it himself. Moreover, most of these soldiers are middle-level strengthening abilities above level 4. Coupled with factors such as the unstable state of the strengthening potion and the repeated purchases caused by the failure of injection, the financial resources spent on forming this armed force are simply a huge astronomical number.

This is just the current situation we see. How many soldiers are there in places where they don’t know? How are their superpower levels and equipment? Reminding the entire waste of energy in the hall... Lin Xiang frowned thoughtfully.

Tasks and rewards are usually proportional. Rich rewards often mean that the task difficulty increases exponentially. Gliffiz's intelligence does not mention any introduction to the task, but only marks a prominent red "s" at the end of the client's name.

What will be the task entrusted by the Lord of Liujin City?

...

Turning around the corner of the corridor, the woman leading the way stopped at the door of a room with bright lights and noisy atmosphere.

"Please wait for a moment here. Mr. Solomon will come soon. Please take tea and snacks as you like. If you have any extra needs, I will be in Room 16 on this floor. Haha! Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Christina."

These words had a very obvious hint. Before turning around and leaving, Christina showed a charming smile to Lin Xiang, and her rippling eyes were filled with naked teasing.

Lin Xiang smiled discontently and nodded, walked into the room sideways.

This is a hall with an area of ​​about 500 square meters. The floor is also covered with carpets. Regardless of the texture or color, it is much better than the corridor. Crystal chandeliers are hung around the walls, and there is even a quaint phonograph near the front desk. The black record machine rotates slowly and orderly in the center, releasing melodious music.

The hall was crowded with people. Most of their clothes were rough, and their clothes were similar to those of tight and durable combat. Through the leather case on their shoulders and waist, you could clearly see the pistol and the outer handle of the dagger inside. When you approached a little, you could immediately feel the powerful aura of supernatural powers emitted from them.

Everyone has evolution or strengthening power. The patterns on their chests and armbands with different patterns on their arms indicate that they belong to different organizations. The mercenary nameplate hanging on their necks flashes with a dazzling metallic luster under the light. They rarely walk around, but just gather in circles according to their respective groups, chatting carefully in a slightly difficult to distinguish sound, raising their heads from time to time, and scanning the surroundings carefully.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who accept the task." Lin Xiang frowned and shook his head gently to the center of the hall. There was a huge long strip table, on the table top covered with white dining cloth, mixed clothes were placed on silver plates, with food and drinks that exuded an attractive aroma.

"The food here is free, do whatever you want." After briefly giving the two guards, Lin Xiang turned around and picked up a plate from the dining table, cut off half of the steaming roast lamb leg, and then cut a piece of oily beef sausage from the oven next to him. He held a glass of red wine taken from the waiter's tray, walked to an empty seat near the wall and sat down, and slowly started eating.

The shank of lamb tastes very good. The cut shanks are filled with garlic slices and scallions, and the sausage section is sprinkled with dry spice powder. The production method is also very exquisite. When you chew it in your mouth, you can immediately feel a special aroma of baking with brandy.

Since coming to this terrible world, this is the first time Lin Xiang has eaten such a delicious thing. Perhaps due to the lack of supplies, he has become accustomed to measuring the value of items with the simplest bread and water. If converted into cornbread unique to Yinyue City, this meat meal can fill at least eight to ten people.

"Hi! I'll sit here for a while, there should be no problem?" Suddenly, a thick voice sounded in my ears. I subconsciously raised my head and saw a middle-aged burly man wearing a black leather jacket, with white beards on both sides of his cheeks and a flame pattern on his naked chest. He was standing next to the table with a huge meal plate full of food.

Lin Xiang nodded, said nothing, and moved his plate to the side.

"Haha! It's not in vain to be able to eat these things."

The man took the muscle-open arms and grabbed a piece of barbecue soaked with sauce from the plate. He clamped it with two thick wheat breads, squeezed it tightly, and stuffed it into his mouth with chewing, while stretching over his thick palms covered with gravy and greasy, and said vaguely: "Hmm, hello...my name is Yarman."

"My name is Lin Xiang. Why are you also a mercenary?" Lin Xiang shook his hands politely, took a sip of the red wine, and casually raised his own question.

"Everyone here is a mercenary." Yarman pulled out a dagger from the leather hood around his waist, cut a lamb leg into several pieces, used the tip of the knife to pick up the minced meat from the plate and put it into his mouth, and said while eating.

"What exactly is Solomon's assignment? How come so many people accept the commission?" Lin Xiang raised his glass and asked with a smile.

"You don't know?" Yarman unscrewed a bottle of rum and took a sip, looking at him in surprise.

"I only know that this is an S-level task, and the rest know nothing." Lin Xiang shrugged and spread his hands.

The expression on Yarman's face gradually became solemn. He licked his thick lips, squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xiang carefully. After a while, he frowned and said, "Damn it, you are an ordinary person. Without supernatural powers, you are simply seeking death by yourself. Hey! Look at the clothes on you, as well as weapons and equipment, you can have these things, don't tell me that you can't afford a booster potion?"

"Ability does not equal strength." Lin Xiang smiled disapprovingly: "Standing a thousand meters away, a sniper bullet can also explode the head of an evolved person. Maybe the only one who fired the shot was an eight-year-old child."

"Well...I love to hear these words-"

Yarman swallowed the flesh in his mouth, pulled open his jacket, revealing his solid and hairy breasts, put his head close to Lin Xiang's ears, and whispered mysteriously: "Do you know? There is probably a hidden warehouse under this city."

"Warehouse?" A trace of surprise flashed through Lin Xiang's eyes.

Yarman nodded affirmatively: "Actually, this is not a secret. It is said that the earliest group of residents in Liujin City knew the location of this warehouse, and there were treasures left by humans in the old era."

"What do you mean is that this mission is related to the warehouse?" Lin Xiang's reaction was quick.

"I don't know much about this."

Yarman shook his head lightly: "I only know that before us, six mercenaries had already accepted this mission. They all died in Liujin City, leaving no survivor behind. Solomon blocked the specific situation and related information of the mission, and no one knew what was going on."

Lin Xiang looked at him with surprise: "Since that's the case, why are there so many people who continue to choose to accept the case?"

"Of course it's for the money."
