As previously guessed, the people in the outer city were not weaklings without any fighting ability, at least some of them were not. The members of "Mercury Trigger" were among these people, and Wen Dongyang was familiar with them. These people are responsible for handling various bounty matters for the nobles, just like Heike handles butchers. Since the nobles always have a large number of bounties of varying degrees of danger, they can make money as long as they dare to accept them.
There are no raw material production projects in the outer city. Industries such as planting, animal husbandry, and mining do not exist in the outer city. All raw materials come from the unified supply of the nobles. The weird-looking factories that Lu Ning saw are all responsible for the production of raw materials. Secondary processing plants process raw materials into various industrial finished products and sell them to residents in outer cities.
The house in front of me was indeed a school. In the reception room outside the door, a man wearing aristocratic robes with an Eyesight badge on his collar confirmed the number of people and gave them detailed mission details.
"The reward this time is a hundred-meter sight range, and it also involves the children of some noble servants. Therefore, we need many people who dare to detect dangers to deal with this problem." The man said with an annoying tone. He said in a arrogant tone, "No matter how many of your people died, the nobles will compensate you, so don't care about the battle losses, you have to pay no matter how much it costs to bring back the news this time. Eyesight must master the information here, and finally bring it The team with the most information will receive the highest reward, do you understand?"
Lu Ning didn't understand many of them, but the two team leaders, Wen Dongyang and Lan Tu, nodded.
"Put on your eyes and go in. What happened inside is still unknown. Two teams have gone in before, and the news has not come back yet." The man threw a box from the house, and Lan Tu reached out and copied it. Open it and distribute its contents to the people.
That was the "eye", a round bead made like an eyeball. Lu Ning imitated Wen Dongyang's method and put it on her collar, and it automatically stuck there.
"Let's go in and hold on to our weapons." Wen Dongyang passed the mission document to everyone.
"Captain Wen, we don't know the specific situation at all." Rang frowned after reading the document, "There are only some historical records in it."
"If it is a bounty from another noble, Eyesight will make an accurate rating, but the bounty issued by Eyesight itself is something that they have not yet mastered. It is normal that there is no specific content." Wen Dongyang said.
"Hey, hey...are you all newbies? I thought you were being polite just now!"
A man in the mercury trigger who had most of his body replaced by a metal shell said: "Wen Dongyang, you bring a bunch of new people to do such a task? You also know that the bounty issued by Eyesight can be upgraded at any time, right?"
"Of course I know, snap."
The name made Yan Rong laugh out loud.
"It's okay if you're a newcomer. Heikes all have several lives. They can afford to pay some tuition..." Lan Tu waved his hand, "Just come in and don't die in there."
At this time, the mission file finally arrived in Lu Ning's hands.
One-hundred-meter visual distance - it is not clear how this level is divided, and the specific content is, as Jean said, some historical records.
This school held its final exam about fifteen days ago, but strangely, not a single student or teacher came out after the exam, and all contacts from outside the school fell silent. Some parents or people entrusted to come here never came out after entering the campus.
Even with Eyesight's information search capabilities, the last signal from the campus was just the ringtone at the end of the final exam. This situation was immediately summarized and issued as a reward.
The reception room where the valet was located was actually not within the scope of the campus, so it was a shame that this man dared to sit here.
At the end of the document is a list. Several servants who are working for the nobles also have children or relatives here. It is necessary to find out the status of these people, but there is no requirement to bring them out alive.
"Does this happen often?" Lu Ning handed it to Lian Bisheng and asked.
"The issue of the 100-meter sight range is a big deal or a small matter. There will be some problems in the outer city." Wen Dongyang took a step towards the school gate, "But since Eyesight has issued a reward, it currently does not require the army to dispatch to solve it. .”
Everyone followed and walked in only five or six meters from the gate. Lu Ning suddenly felt a blur in front of her eyes. The sky turned from ordinary gloom to a fiery dusk in an instant, and the entire campus was also coated in this red color.
"Oh..." Lan Tu threw the cigarette aside, calmed down and looked around, "Did the clock stop spinning? Or did time here stop? Maybe it's just a concurrent phenomenon?"
"The clouds are moving, there is wind, it's not a time lock." Wen Dongyang said, "I'm afraid it's a problem on campus. Are these students really taking exams?"
"Then let's go in and have a look." Dorothy was very interested. "You can't tell what it is just by looking at it. What if it's a maze created by multiple complex spaces?"
"I feel like I'm going to vomit..."
The person who said this was a tall and thin man of about 2.5 meters tall among the five members of Mercury Trigger. He was wearing a bamboo hat, a patched linen clothes, and a shotgun with a sickle tied to the muzzle. He was also a Strange looking person.
"Dansheng, follow me, I'll cover you!" Dorothy said with a smile.
Wen Dongyang glanced at the people over there, and then turned around. Lu Ning could see a trace of happiness flashing in his eyes. It seemed that the people on his side were much easier to handle than those at Mercury Trigger.
"You are newcomers, but I still need you to come to this bounty. I hope you can show your value here." Wen Dongyang said to the seven people, "I know you may have a lot of doubts, and you don't even know what the bounty is. Then just follow me, obey orders, and learn."
Lu Ning and others nodded repeatedly, and then Wen Dongyang gestured to Lan Tu, and the two of them entered the Western-style building at the front.
As soon as he entered the building, a strong smell of blood hit his face. There was no doubt that something had happened. The foyer and the corridors on both sides were smeared with a large amount of plasma, which had not even solidified yet. Some broken human body fragments were scattered on the ground, and it was completely impossible to tell where they originally belonged. Except for Alex, whose face turned a little blue, the rest of the people still didn't frown at this.
"Ana, can you smell it?" Lan Tu asked the last member of the team, a tall woman wearing an eyepatch and holding a saber and a shotgun. Love books
"Fresh." The woman curled her lips, "The smell of blood is to cover the human smell inside, but the method is a bit too rough. There must be people alive, but it's hard to say what the attitude is."
Jean glanced at Alex, who shook his head: "My sense of smell can only be aimed at the smell of death. Here... it's too strong, it's all mixed together."
"Just relying on your talent for smell is not enough. If you have the chance, do some strengthening surgery on yourself. Since you have the talent, let's make full use of it." Wen Dongyang said.
"Yes!" Alex responded hurriedly.
"So...what exactly happened here? Although it is said that the closed conditions alone can drive people crazy, going crazy to such a degree that the corpses are broken into thousands of pieces is not something that can be achieved under normal circumstances." Lu Ning said. My question is, "You must have handled tasks many times before, have you had similar experiences?"
"I can't say it's not true." Lan Tu took out another cigarette, "The pressure in the outer city is huge, and some crude but effective strengthening methods are easy to obtain. What people can do to vent their anger is beyond your capabilities. Imagine…”
"That's not the same, boss!" Dorothy yelled, "Those people made trouble and killed people, they are just monsters, but the whole school is controlled and Eyesight can't get accurate information. This It’s not comparable to those crudely made things.”
"Yeah, so someone probably came into contact with the ruins." Lan Tu took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.
"No matter what it is, we have to take another look to see what we will encounter if those people are missing." Wen Dongyang pointed to the corridor, "Everyone, please come."
Walking in such a corridor was quite uncomfortable, and it took Lu Ning some time to give up trying to avoid the meat on the ground. The corridor is very long. It should be said that the school building is quite large. It can be vaguely seen that it was a magnificent building before, but it is a pity that it has now become a purgatory-like scene. Going around the corridor, you can see a classroom ahead. The door of the classroom is closed tightly, and the only window is covered with flesh and blood, making it impossible to see what's going on inside.
"Open the door?" Wen Dongyang glanced at Lan Tu.
Lan Tu silently stepped aside, and Dorothy, who was behind, threw a grenade from under her burqa, and hit the flesh and blood of the small window directly. There was a loud detonation sound, and the entire door was blown to pieces, but Two meters away, only the aftermath of the explosion was felt.
"Ah! Let's see what's going on inside..." Dorothy came to the door with a bound. Just as she was about to poke her head inside, she suddenly leaned back and saw two very fast things flying out of the door. , rubbed Dorothy's head, and was nailed diagonally upward into the ceiling.
Those are two pens.
Dorothy still had a smile on her face, but her tone became dangerous.
“What a warm welcome~”
She finally lifted her burqa, and with the sound of metal locking, ten gun barrels were pointed at the inside of the classroom at the same time. Her two hands held two small remote control-like things, and she pressed them at the same time. Suddenly, there was a roar of gunfire. , the metal storm formed by bullets swept through the entire classroom. A large number of bullet casings fell from under the robe. The tinkling sound was endless. Lu Ning had to cover her ears to slightly weaken the noise. The smell of gunpowder smoke even overshadowed the blood. gas.
After about ten seconds, Dorothy fired a round of bullets.
Lan Tu sighed, pulled her shoulder and asked her to stand behind him. He walked to the door and put the cigarette into the classroom. The sparks swirled in the air and turned into a bright light. The light that illuminates the entire classroom.
The scene in the classroom was similar to that in the corridor, and because of the previous shooting, all the desks and chairs were smashed into pieces, but among them, there was only one intact target. He and his desk seemed to be intact. There were no traces of external injuries or bullets.
This is a boy. He has a short cut like a student, wears a pair of glasses, and has a confident smile on his lips. He stands up and turns to look at everyone.
"Is it another new challenger?"
"Boy, you'd better explain what's going on here quickly." Lan Tu put his hands in his pockets and walked into the door, "Did you throw those two pens just now?"
"Of course not, that's just the school's punishment for students who don't abide by school rules." The boy said matter-of-factly, "Using violence to open the classroom door is definitely against school rules."
"What is this kid talking about?" Papi also walked into the classroom, "Is he crazy?"
Lu Ning stood outside and had not yet entered. Lian Bisheng, Rang and Yan Rong followed Wen Dongyang into the room. The two teams coincidentally left half of the people outside to prevent changes.
"Do you think the school has become like this and we still need to abide by the school rules?" Lan Tu asked.
"What has changed?" the boy asked, "If you don't abide by the school rules and disciplines, what's the point of setting these up? As before, the privileged class can use power at will, and students who are like gangsters form gangs, is it right? Then we Should these students who study hard but have no background be bullied?"
"I'm not here to listen to a student complaining about the grievances he suffered at school." Lan Tu shook his head, "You should talk to your parents about this."
"They will only tell me that he is a big shot, so stay away! Or don't make friends with those gangsters! If I can really avoid it, why don't you let me transfer to another school?" The boy sneered, "It's really weird, this is a school, study This is our main business, but as a result, academic performance has become the least valued thing here? Even the teachers are the same. Now, the school has finally become like a school, isn't it right?"
"So, how did these people die?" Lan Tu scratched his head, "Because they didn't study well?"
"Of course, if their scores in the final exam are not as good as mine, they will be eliminated of course! This is a school, isn't it?" The boy took a step forward, but the flesh and blood on the ground moved away as if they were alive. " Only students who study hard are the most precious wealth here! Even you - ah, I can see who you are. Maybe you can kill hundreds of little characters like me in the outer city, but if you don't Results, you can’t beat me here!”
"So, how do you get results?" Wen Dongyang said softly.
The boy was stunned for a moment, and then showed a twisted smile: "Of course it's a test! Have you ever been to school? Where would you get your grades if you didn't take a test?"
Following his words, a brand new door suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ning, sealing the classroom.
