The old man looked at Gong Yun and Su Meng for a while. Although the two people denied that the recent incidents in Shacheng had anything to do with them, he never believed that anyone else in Shacheng except these two people had such ability.
Senior, it is our honor to have you come to Shacheng, and we should do our best to honor you if you need it. But right now, Shacheng is in danger, military pay is missing, and everything in the arsenal has been borrowed. Today, there are government troops in Sand City, and mutant beasts and base civilizations outside. There are Fengcheng and Yuncheng watching from the left and right. If this problem is not solved, the people of Shacheng may die at any time, right? The little old man is very old and has only a few more years to live. He really can't bear to watch the people in the city suffer massacre in his twilight years? After speaking, the old man bowed to the ground.
Gong Yun folded his hands and held his chin with two fingers, staring at the old man and smashing his mouth. Does this mean that you are sure that I am responsible for the military pay and armament depot?
The little old man didn't dare. The little old man just begged his senior to give the people of Shacheng a chance of survival. The old man continued.
Do you still believe that I did it? But I'm very curious. Although I don't know much about Shacheng, I know that there must be tens of thousands of people in Shacheng, right? Why do you have so little wealth? Millions of contribution coins are stolen and cannot be repaid? Gong Yun asked helplessly.
millions? The old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Gong Yun. Returning to the senior, the young old man only knew that the military salary had been borrowed, but he didn't know the exact amount. Senior, you clearly understood everything carefully, and the young old man fell into submission. The old man said that he was about to lie down.
Su Meng quickly grabbed the old man and gave Gong Yun a big roll of his eyes. He even knew how much money was there and still said he didn't do it?
Gong Yun curled his lips in embarrassment. The military salary was naturally several million, could it be tens of thousands? Is that possible?
Senior, right now Shacheng is in danger, tens of thousands of people are in danger, and without an armament hunting team, they cannot go out to hunt. The entire Shacheng people's livelihood and economy are about to be paralyzed. Now Xue Cheng is seriously ill and unable to solve the current crisis in Shacheng. The younger brother has also been retired for many years. He is too old and unable to do anything. Please don’t stand by and watch. I am here to kneel down and ask for help from everyone in Shacheng. . After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down and begged again regardless of Su Meng's obstruction.
Old man, don't be like this. Let's discuss things slowly. We can find solutions to even the biggest difficulties. Can you get up and let's figure it out together? Su Meng advised.
At the same time, he nodded to Gong Yun and signaled him to come down. Since he could directly control the Qinglong Group, even if the team became corrupt, it would be much better than starting from scratch.
Okay, you get up and sit down and say, it's okay to help, but we are just ordinary hunters now, you can't count on us for such a big thing, right? Gong Yun went over and lifted the old man up and put him on the chair.
Be gentle. Su Meng scolded.
Mengmeng, you are so kind. Do you believe this old guy pretending to be dying? Don't look at him looking like he's going to die at any moment, Gufan and the others are no match for him even if they are stacked together. Gong Yun smiled.
Gufan? Just a few people from the Lonely Sail Hunting Team? It is indeed not my opponent. But I was young and strong and couldn't control me in a few strokes, so I got out of breath and couldn't play anymore, ahem... The old man waved his hands as if he was unwilling to accept his old age.
Stop pretending, tell me first, why do you think I can solve the current problem? Why do you trust a stranger you just met so much? Gong Yun asked.
The old man smiled bitterly. Trust is really out of the question. In this 24-city area, the capable ones have always led the way. Not to mention in Sand City, it is the same in the other 23 cities. Whoever has a higher evolutionary level will be the city lord. Even if I object, even if it is a life and death fight, in the end, this sand city still has the final say. Since you know that you will definitely lose, why do you still fight to the death?
City 24 is not a normal living area. It is squeezed by the government, exploited by the civilization of the base, and mutant beasts bully it from time to time. In this environment, as long as a powerful person appears, it will only be a matter of time before the people become dependent on them. This is already hundreds of years of experience.
Just for now, right? Xue admits that he has lost. Whether you admit it or not, without you, it is unlikely that such a big change would have happened in Shacheng. In such a big place, the little boy can still see clearly.
If you are here to seek revenge from Xue Shi, it goes without saying, but you are not. That means your current goal should be to support the Gufan Hunting Group, right? Isn't your ultimate goal to replace it? Will you be willing to succumb to others?
Su Meng and Gong Yun looked at each other. This old man's reasoning ability was amazing! He guessed his plan in just two sentences.
The old man looked at the two people and continued: In fact, with your ability to build a hunting team with only a dozen people, you feel that the Qinglong Regiment is hopelessly decayed, right? Otherwise, it would be easy to directly decapitate and seize power with your ability. But in District 24, this road is difficult to navigate. This is a historical problem. Today’s people don’t have the courage.
I don’t know if you know the population composition of the 24 cities in the border area. Almost four-fifths of them are not normal humans. Once there is any change, it will suffer disaster. The reason why Shacheng fell like this is not entirely the leader's responsibility.
Please tell me in detail. Su Meng said.
The old man sighed. Four-fifths of the 24 cities in the border area are replicators, also known as clones. The reason why these people appear is to be human shields. Their role here is to act as an isolation zone to guard the cannon fodder inland. Neither the government nor the base civilization regards the people here as human beings, they only regard these people as a product. Therefore, for them, our existence is just a buffer group and cheap labor force for the wilderness civilization and the base civilization. We paid a huge price in exchange for very little remuneration and could barely survive. Once anyone wants to become big, they will be hit by both the base civilization and the government. How do you think it can develop?
To be honest, the child Xue Cheng was ambitious at first and wanted to compete with both sides, but in the end, the edges were smoothed away by time! The opponent is too strong.
Have you ever fought? Su Meng asked tentatively.
The old man nodded dejectedly, of course he tried, but it always ended badly, so you don't have to doubt anything. To me, it doesn't matter whoever is in charge of Shacheng as long as he has the ability. Since it cannot develop, it is still possible to at least maintain peace, right? It's better for me to directly give you Shacheng than to fight to the death between you two. At least a lot of people will die, right?
you give? Then Xue Ping is willing to let go? Gong Yun asked disdainfully.
