When returning to Anvil Camp, Lu Ning could clearly feel a tense atmosphere spreading.
The camps maintain an attitude of staying away from each other, and the occasional communication with each other is only to the extent of sending two or three messengers to deliver news. Once a large team appears near other camps, it will be regarded as "hostility".
The Anvil Camp has been stationed in this place for some time. The settlement of the camp must have sent messages to other camps. Before the signal to move out of camp was sent, the other camps should avoid this place.
"Lu Ning, are you back? Now everyone is discussing about Porphyry Camp, and many people are not interested in working." Yuan Jie happened to be taking a break in the camp, and also gave Lu Ning a real-time report.
“What do the leaders have to say?”
"It seems that they are still discussing. After all, those people have not been back for a long time. There must be a reason for the appearance of Porphyry Camp. Under normal circumstances, the camps will not make such moves. They are probably discussing whether to send them first. Should I contact someone in person or call directly?”
Yuan Jie frowned and thought carefully, then said, "By the way, they also mentioned that you were collecting information there, and I guess they will have to ask you for questioning soon."
"That's a small matter." Lu Ning nodded, "Did Wen Dongyang say something?"
"He must also obey the orders of his leaders. Nothing can be changed."
Lu Ning shrugged. This is indeed a characteristic of the camp. The leader's decision ultimately determines everything, and other camp members do not even have room to participate in the decision-making.
She returned to her tent, and as soon as she took a drink of water, someone came over and asked her to go to the main tent to report the situation. Lu Ning responded and followed the man outside the main tent.
The place where the leaders live is at the core of the entire camp. The largest fire in the camp is burning not far from the main tent. The tent itself looks slightly different from other tents.
This is of course the first time Lu Ning has the opportunity to come in. Behind the dark and solemn door curtain is a curtain wall supported by a large number of wooden supports. The road was long and somewhat depressing, as if the tent had been divided into different sections and divided into several corridors.
But it wasn't actually that long. Lu Ning felt that he only walked for more than 20 seconds. When he turned to the right, he saw a normal space. The ground was covered with a black velvet carpet, and five chairs were arranged in an arc near the edge of the tent, where the leaders sat. A bright but not dazzling light made the place a little softer, and the expressions on the faces of the five leaders were also different.
Of the two people Lu Ning knew, Xishi looked indifferent, while Snake Locust sneered. Of course, nothing could be seen from the faces of these two people. She could only look at the leader in the center - Hengfeng, a name she had heard from many people.
"Lu Ning, we called you here to find out what additional information you obtained after that."
Hengfeng spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse, with the stability of a middle-aged man, the kind of voice that sounded very trustworthy.
"Yes, respected leader." Lu Ning nodded slightly, as long as he maintained basic etiquette towards the leader.
"Everyone, are you ready to hear the details?" Hengfeng looked around.
"Go ahead, but the most important thing is to let the messenger bring back the news. I don't think Porphyry Camp will leave any reason why they suddenly came nearby during a hunting operation." Xishi said.
Hengfeng waved his hand and looked at Lu Ning again: "Please tell us, Lu Ning."
"As the leader of the Hidden World said, there is no way to intuitively understand why they suddenly appeared nearby from the traces they left, so I can only make some speculations about this part."
"It doesn't matter."
"First of all, when we first met them, I found them ambushing behind a rock with unknown intentions. After I lured the butcher out of the stone forest, they stepped forward to attack and separated them quite well. Attack. I collected traces left at the scene, including things in the area where they crouched, and found that the weapons used by these people were not of particularly high quality."
"How can I see it?"
"It can be intuitively seen that their weapons are standard equipment mass-produced by the outer city arsenal. The two butchers have relatively special defense capabilities. These people relied on their own skills to avoid the weapons hitting each other. They were obviously worried about themselves. The weapons were damaged. Even so, this kind of thing cannot be avoided during the battle, so I collected some weapon fragments."
Lu Ning took out a few metal fragments from her pocket, which were only the size of a fingernail. If "Sudden Yesterday" hadn't been able to extract the combat process frame by frame, it would have been very difficult for her to find out where these fragments fell, but this There is no need to say it.
Hengfeng took the metal fragment from Lu Ning's hand, squeezed it with his fingers, and nodded: "It's a general military alloy."
This alloy is specially used to make cold weapons. The quality cannot be said to be bad, but compared to the various monster-like materials in this scene, it is really just a commodity.
"A dedicated hunting team uses this crappy equipment?" Snake Locust smacked her tongue, "It looks like something happened to their camp."
The leaders began to discuss, and Lu Ning temporarily stopped narrating. This is provided as the first evidence because the equipment used by the people in the Porphyry Camp was really poor. Comparing the weapons used by the people here in the Anvil Camp, all Hei Ke with some experience use slightly unique weapons. At least they cannot be casually chipped off in battle, and the weapons are resistant to poison, attack, and magic. Additional attributes such as this must be at least low-level on top.
In comparison, Porphyry Camp was simply using refugee equipment to fight against the butchers. If it hadn't been for its own strength, a few people might have died.
"What happened that caused Porphyry's equipment to regress to this level? The team responsible for killing the Butcher is the backbone of the entire camp. Apart from the leader and the captains, they should have the best equipment." The leader sitting on the far right asked.
"I'm afraid it's the Butcher." Xishi finally became more serious. "I have received some reports recently. The strength of the Butcher who appeared after this bleak mist has been strengthened to a certain extent. Do you remember the messenger yesterday? Someone has already suggested that those super Butchers be given the opportunity. It was specially named and the elites from each camp were gathered to attack."
"What strength is it?" the last leader asked in a deep voice.
"A leader almost missed." Xishi waved his hand, "Although the leader did not bring his treasure and was too confident, it is an indisputable fact that the Super Butcher has begun to become a threat."
Hengfeng nodded: "Recently, news of some bonfires suddenly disappeared. If there are fewer bonfires in the wasteland, there will be more and more darkness."
"We have no choice, tut." Snake Locust snorted, "The number of people in Anvil is just right now, and we can't tell anyone to relight those bonfires. Maybe we'll wait until the next time the outer city sends a large number of new black engravings. We can train some valuable people, but now..."
"Let's deal with the porphyry problem first. Lu Ning, you can continue." Hengfeng interrupted Snake Locust and said to Lu Ning. 127
"After that, six black men joined the battle. They should be unorganized people. They can use treasures and have better weapons. With their help, the two butchers were killed quickly. What's special is that, They didn't recover the bullets and arrows used in the long-range attack, but I didn't find any around either."
"Recyclable long-range weapons... more like some high-end weapons." Hengfeng nodded, "Other than that?"
"In the end, they left together. I think it should be taken into account that these six black men intend to join each other. As for the porphyry camp, they will probably welcome the entry of six new troops under the current situation."
"If they really face such a situation, we can't help but worry about the reason that caused their strength to plummet." Hengfeng crossed his arms, "They want to come here even if they take the risk of provoking us, which shows that they are The self-protection ability is already worrying. In this case, we don’t need to worry about the Porphyry Camp going to war with us, and this negotiation should be able to facilitate it.”
"So do we need to carry out a joint crusade? Indeed... the wasteland is too big. Even if the camp is moved regularly, it is impossible to sweep all the places. It is also a problem how to protect the camp if those super butchers hiding in hard-to-find corners suddenly attack. ." Xishi said.
"We will kill those butchers." Hengfeng said, "Being called 'super' only increases fear. Heike was born to kill butchers, and we have the ability to do it."
At this moment, someone came over to report.
"News from Porphyry Camp."
"So fast? Our messenger has just set off..." Xishi frowned.
"It's someone sent from Porphyry Camp!"
Hengfeng nodded: "It seems to be as we guessed, Lu Ning, thank you very much for your information, we will add a lot of merit to you, you can leave."
"I'm glad I could help you, leader."
Lu Ning bowed slightly, turned around and left the main tent along the way he came.
She saw the man from the porphyry camp outside the tent. The main clothing styles of each camp were slightly different. This man was also wearing black and white spotted clothes and had obvious scars on his face. How could he be so beautiful? Sending one person here also shows that there is indeed a shortage of available people at Porphyry Camp.
But...Super Butcher? It seems that something will be done soon, and actions here must be stepped up.
That night, Lu Ning called all his tourist teammates to his tent and described in detail what happened during the day. After a moment of understanding, Jean spoke first: "According to our tourist standards, when we enter, something is usually going to happen, or something has already happened."
"Do you remember the situation in Alex's camp?" Lian Bisheng reminded, "Everyone... I think it's the one at the back."
"After all, we encountered a bleak fog when we arrived." Yan Rong nodded, "If you don't handle it well, it will be a first sight kill. We have also seen the red alarm bell, and that kind of collective violent situation may also lead to sudden changes in the situation."
Among all the seven large-scale events, only the dismal mist has a certain periodicity and has some foreshadowing. The rest are all emergencies, and it is normal for the bonfire to have no time to react.
"Wait a minute, there are too many reasons for the bonfire to be extinguished, right?" Yuan Jie was already a little confused, "First I guessed that there was an uninvited guest, then I thought there was something wrong with Edmond, and now the super butcher was Excitement passing by by chance?"
"The truth is not important. What is important is that we need to know what to guard against." Zhu Qinyuan said coldly, "Since Lu Ning said that the other team has collected all the team's treasures, we probably have to list this one as well. It’s on the schedule, and we all have free time for the shift tomorrow, so why not explore the ruins quickly, I don’t want to fall behind too much.”
Everyone looked at her and knew that Zhu Qinyuan really wanted a treasure of his own.
The existence of treasure is not a secret in the eyes of the strong. Wen Dongyang also knows some related things. The leaders must also have their own treasures. From this point of view, the nobles' management of this matter is actually quite loose, or they almost encourage people to take out their treasures. Lu Ning thought for a while and finally expressed her question.
"Treasures should be things left by the king to people, right? But the few treasures I saw today don't seem very wonderful."
She gave a brief description of the treasures.
"If it is said that this is a famine that is so painful that it makes people want to forget it, then it is really not suitable." Jean thought for a while and said, "But you should also notice that all the treasures have things written on them that are similar to abandonment. , abandoning such things, what the king may have done is to cut off these pains and misfortunes from the country, and then make them into powerful weapons.”
"Then where did he go?" Yan Rong asked a question that went straight to the core.
"We should be able to find him, otherwise how can we bury him?" Lu Ning said.
=
There were chaotic clouds floating in the sky, and there were countless bloodthirsty shadows under the deep night.
"This is a wasteland."
Several people walked out of the inn, wearing heavy coats and holding different weapons in their hands.
"The news that Sancher risked his life for must not be in vain." A raging voice said, "Now that we have left the outer city, we have no other choice. No matter who dies, they must reach the tidal entrance - we must Get on the train.”
"The Saber, one of the four major legions, is stationed there." Another female voice said, "They are not a research-oriented force like the nobles, they are a real fighting force..."
"Are you scared? Isinpova?"
"I am prepared for a chaotic scenario, but are we too impatient? Even if we accumulate a little more strength or get one more treasure..."
"We will be killed by foreign affairs officers." The person at the beginning said, "White foreign affairs officers, Mist's lackeys, who let us know their true core research content? If it were me, I would not let these people go. "
"The situation in this scene is already too terrible..." said an angry voice.
