Facing the accusations and denunciations of many ordinary people, the dozens of cultivators showed no fear and argued with reason. They only said that they were unable to fulfill their promise to protect them because they underestimated the strength of the monsters. As for tricking them into becoming monsters that attract them The bait thing is just nonsense.
The two sides were noisy and arguing. After all, the casualties died at the mouth of the monster. There was no evidence to prove this. Even if Wen Qingming had an official position and the public was furious, he could not do anything to these people.
"Chief, please go and save my sister and brother-in-law. The car they were riding in broke down and they didn't catch up when they were escaping!" While the two sides were still arguing, a young girl ran to the police station. Qing Ming came forward and cried.
"Yes, yes, chief, there was a car that got stuck in the mud when we were escaping, and it should still be behind us now." Another person added, pointing in the direction behind.
"Well, that's not the direction we're heading over there. Is anyone willing to take the trouble to search for any survivors over there?" Wen Qingming looked at Rong Xianxian, and Ye Lanxin and others asked.
In a hurry, the team members have already worked hard for a day. Rong Xianxian, Ye Lanxin and other captains, look at me, I look at you, they are not very interested in this matter. After all, since they have taken the No matter how many survivors were rescued on the mission issued by Wen Qingming, the credit would go to Wen Qingming.
Wen Qingming frowned when he saw this situation, but he didn't know much to say. He was just planning to send Yang Chao to take a look when he heard one of these people jump out to object, "You're asking people to go behind and rescue people. What kind of peace of mind do you have? You were chasing so many terrifying monsters just now, and now they may have been killed long ago. If you ask others to save people, isn't it just to ask them to die?"
"Monster, you mean there is a monster in that direction?" Rong Xianxian immediately asked.
"Yes, yes!" The person who just spoke looked at Rong Xianxian and others, whose eyes were brightening, and looked in a daze. When these people heard that there were monsters behind them, why did they seem to hear that there was a treasure behind them?
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I'll take someone there right away!" Ye Lanxin said before he could.
"I am coming too."
"I am coming too."
In the blink of an eye, half of the dozen captains who had received the urgent mission issued by Wen Qingming were gone. Wen Qingming hurriedly stopped the remaining half of the team.
Ye Lanxin and the others rescued more than a dozen people and hunted several second-level monsters. The addition of this private group of 300 people made Wen Qingming's team even stronger.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the large army passed through an abandoned town. There was a school with a relatively complete wall in the town, and they chose it as their camping place tonight.
The number of students in township schools is limited. There is a row of lonely classrooms in the school. Most of them are dilapidated. Each classroom can accommodate a limited number of people. They are used to sleeping in the wild. In order to facilitate management, the large army led by Wen Qingming directly set up in the vast school area. A tent was set up on the playground for rest and accommodation.
On the contrary, various civil society groups are scrambling to find houses where they can stay.
Tonight, Rong Xianxian and her group had a rare break. Rong Xianxian was in a good mood as she packed up dinner. In just four days, she and Cui Lie hunted three territory-level monsters, which can be exchanged for reputation points. A full 1,500 points and 3,000 gold coins. With these 1,500 reputation points, their team can be directly upgraded to a third-level mercenary group. If they kill a few more in the future, they can collect 5,000 points. You can directly upgrade to level four. It is said that the higher the level of the mercenary group, the more tasks it can take on, the richer the rewards, and the lower the various tax rates that need to be paid.
"Sister Rong, Captain Feng's brothers have grabbed a classroom and have cleaned it up. Captain Feng asked you if you want to move in?" Xia Kai came over and asked.
"No, just let them take care of their own teams!" Before setting off, Rong Xianxian had explained that the captains were solely responsible for the affairs of each team. There was no need to gather together whether traveling or camping. She was used to small groups of several people. , can’t stand the crowds and noise.
Rong Xianxian and the others were small and did not want to share a classroom with others. Fortunately, they set aside a piece of land on the playground as a temporary camp, set up tents, parked their vehicles, and settled down.
The four teams under Rong Xianxian were placed in four different areas and were responsible for supervising the supplies. Xia Kai, who coordinated the dispatch, inspected the four teams and almost visited the entire camp.
He was so busy running around that he didn't realize that there was a person not far behind him staring closely at him.
"Guess who I saw just now?" Not far from Rong Xianxian's camp, in a tattered tent, a middle-aged man in his fifties said mysteriously to his wife.
"Who is it?" asked a tall, strong woman about fifty years old.
These two people are the parents of Zhong Minglou, Xia Kai's sister Xia's husband.
"Xia Tian's younger brother, Xia Kai!" Father Zhong said in a low voice.
"He, he didn't see you, did he?" Mother Zhong covered her mouth in surprise and said with a guilty conscience.
"No, seeing as that kid is doing well now, maybe we can take advantage of him!" Father Zhong looked excited.
"You want to be honored, what are you dreaming about? How did we treat Xia Tian along the way? Xia Tian has been holding fire in her heart. If she tells Xia Kai what happened at the beginning, we will not get the good news." Mother Zhong looked on. There were expressions of disapproval throughout.
"The relationship between Xia Tian and her brother is not close to begin with, let alone Yingying? What Xia Tian can't let go of the most is this girl. Her body is dying. If she dies, Yingying will Whether you live well or not, isn't it all in our hands? Are you still afraid that Xia Tian will be disobedient?" Father Zhong had a proud look on his face.
"Yes, as long as Xia Tian doesn't tell us about what happened back then, who would know? Then before Xia Tian dies, we have to catch up with our relatives quickly, otherwise it will be too late when Xia Tian dies." Mother Zhong heard what Father Zhong said. As soon as he said it, he immediately thought about it. Xia Kai is a strong young man in his twenties. Even if he has no ability, he is still a strong laborer!
"Why are you so anxious? We have to stay calm over there in Xia Tian and give them some coaxing. Our whole family needs to be on the same page about the previous incident and the incident along the way, so as not to reveal any flaws when we talk? You go first Call your son over and let's discuss it." Father Zhong said, stroking his chin and thinking.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Mother Zhong agreed, exited the small tent and entered another tent a car away.
