The huge fear made the second leader of the bandits completely lose his temper. He also wanted to take revenge, but after thinking about it, he decided that instead of taking revenge for this low-probability revenge, he might as well admit it. After all, nothing could compare to him. Your life is important, and saving your life is a serious matter.
Thinking of this, the second-in-command of the bandits looked around, and after confirming that he was alone, he dropped the machete in his hand, knelt down to Zhang Desen and quickly begged for mercy:
"Hero, please spare my life... As long as you can spare my life, I... I will give you anything, please spare my life..."
As he spoke, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The villagers who saw all this were no longer afraid. They came out one after another, took out various objects and threw them at the second bandit leader. While throwing things, they also shouted curses at the second bandit leader.
Zhang Desen looked at the scene in front of him without any expression, he just watched. Although the second-in-command of the bandits was also very angry, now he just wanted to save his life.
At the same time, the village chief also came to Zhang Desen and said:
"Thank you for the brave man who came to the rescue. Without the brave man here, our Mushi Village would not be able to survive today's disaster. Thank you, thank you..."
Zhang Desen replied:
"It's a small effort, but it doesn't matter. I'm a soldier, so I can't stand the existence of such scum."
The village chief didn't say anything else and asked immediately:
"By the way, warrior, now that the bandit leader has been crowned, look, warrior, what should we do with the second-in-command of the bandits?"
Zhang Desen was about to say that he would be taken to the government, but he thought again and said to the village chief:
"Village chief, do you know where their cottage is?"
When the village chief heard this, he immediately said:
"Of course I know. It's not far from here, so we often suffer from it. However, with the current situation, I'm afraid there will be no one in their cottage soon."
When Zhang Desen heard this, he immediately said:
"Okay, then let him lead the way. We will escort him to their cottage first and get back all the things that were stolen from their cottage."
This time, not only the village chief, but all the villagers immediately became energetic after hearing this.
They immediately prepared everything and tied up the second bandit master with ropes.
Although the second-in-command of the bandits was angry and felt that he was being bullied by a dog, but looking at Zhang Desen, he did not dare to say anything and had to accept his fate honestly.
After everyone was ready, all the villagers gathered around Zhang Desen and the village chief, escorting the second-in-command of the bandits to the bandit's original village to retrieve the treasure.
…
At this moment, in the Earth headquarters of Zhang Desen's original universe, a guard ran into General Li Guoshou's office, performed a standard military salute and said:
"Reporting to Comrade General, the investigation department has reached a disturbing conclusion."
When General Li Guoshou heard this, he immediately asked:
"What did they say?"
The guard replied:
"They recommended that all rescue and exploration plans be temporarily suspended and all data sealed."
When Li Guoshou heard this, he immediately stood up and said angrily:
"I asked them to discuss how to carry out rescue, and now they are giving me such opinions. Can they be so irresponsible just because they were not involved in the accident?"
The guard replied:
"Comrade General, they also gave some reasons."
Li Guoshou said:
"What's the reason? Tell me quickly."
The guard replied:
"Their reason is that when we sent Comrade Zhang Desen to the target universe, there were no problems with the machine, but the space channel was suspected of being attacked."
When the guard said this, he looked at Li Guoshou's face and continued:
"So, they think it is very likely that there were intelligent creatures on that side that used their weapons to attack the passage, which led to the destruction of the space passage."
Afterwards, the guard took out a document and handed it to Li Guoshou, and continued:
"Because the technical department has repeatedly and carefully checked the entire multiverse travel machine and found that there is no possibility that the entire machine may malfunction due to its own problems. It can only be overloaded because the space channel is attacked."
At this point, the guard was a little surprised when he saw that Li Guoshou did not accept the document, but he continued:
"In this case, it can only prove one thing, and that is that there must be some kind of intelligent creatures in the earth area of the target universe. They regarded the people we sent there as intruders, so what happened now happened. "
When Li Guoshou heard this, he took the document, looked at it, and said loudly again:
"Didn't they repeatedly guarantee before that there are absolutely no other advanced intelligent creatures that have evolved into advanced civilizations in the target area? Why are they saying this now?"
The guard replied:
"Their explanation is that they have indeed found advanced intelligent creatures that have evolved into advanced civilizations in that area before, so they chose that area as their target, but..."
General Li Guoshou interrupted and said:
"Okay, no more explanations. I just want to say that no one can stop the rescue operation. Tell them that the rescue operation cannot be stopped no matter what. We cannot let our comrades be put in danger without caring. "
Then, Li Guoshou said in a more stern and determined tone:
"Tell them, even if the research stops, I will never give up rescue. Even if there are other higher intelligent creatures, I will meet them for a while to see who is more powerful. Quick, I want them to repair the machine as soon as possible and save the data. Show me, go quickly!!!”
The guard replied:
"yes!!!"
Then the guard did as he was told.
…
Near the Western Capital of Earth in the multiverse, after almost half an hour of traveling, Zhang Desen and the villagers finally arrived at the village.
The village gate was wide open and there was no one around. Gold, silver and jewelry were scattered all over the floor. It seemed that because they were walking in a hurry, the bandits only took the jewelry they could easily hold and ran away.
Seeing this scene, the villagers rushed forward and quickly collected all the remaining gold, silver and jewelry. The second leader of the bandits, who also saw this scene, cursed loudly:
"You guys are a bunch of bastards. My brother usually treats you well. Now if something happens, you all run away. Remember, don't let me find you. As long as the Sa family survives, if I find you, you will regret coming." Come to this world and let you know the consequences of being greedy for life and afraid of death, you bastard!!!"
Zhang Desen smiled and said:
"Okay, don't be embarrassed. You still want to find them, my lovely second-in-command. Why don't you think about how to compensate the villagers of Mushi Village so that they won't care about your past, idiot!"
When the second-in-command of the bandits heard this, his face immediately changed, and he smiled favorably at Zhang Desen, the village chief and all the villagers and said:
"Ha, I am confused, I am confused. Folks, don't worry, they can't open the private treasure house of our three brothers, which is under the big house in front. As long as you open the door directly , go straight in and go to the closet in front. After you open it, there will be a keyhole in that closet. The key is on me. You can take it. I just ask for your forgiveness."
At that moment, some villagers immediately found the key from him and went to find the treasure house. Zhang Desen looked around the village, accompanied by the village chief, and of course the village chief and several able-bodied villagers.
I have to say that Zhang Desen was a little impressed by this look, because the city walls around this mountain village were not only high, but also very thick, and according to the introduction of the second leader of the bandit, this city wall was actually made of glutinous rice. It was very of solidity.
However, Zhang Desen suddenly saw a second mountain village within sight in the distance, and immediately raised his telescope to observe.
At this glance, Zhang Desen actually saw a lot of people guarding the city wall of that cottage. This shocked Zhang Desen. He immediately pulled out a knife and put it on the neck of the second bandit master and asked:
"Tell me, what's your conspiracy? What's going on with the mountain village opposite?"
The second leader of the bandits begged and said:
"No, dear man, please spare your life. I'm not hiding anything. I just haven't had time to say anything. Please bring the knife first. I'll say anything. Please don't do this."
Zhang Desen said in a stern tone:
"Okay, tell me, if you have anything to hide, be careful with your life, you will never see the sun tomorrow, do you understand? Hmph!!!"
With that said, Zhang Desen took away the knife from his neck, but he didn't expect that the second-in-command of the bandits was so frightened that he peed his pants, causing the villagers and village chief nearby to laugh. And Zhang Desen said:
"Damn it, you're not civilized. Didn't your family tell you not to urinate anywhere? Forget it, tell me, what's going on with that cottage?"
The second-in-command of the bandits said in horror:
"It's like this. That village is called Lingyun Village. It is about the same strength as our village, with about 400 people. They are not in conflict with us. For example, Mu Shi Village is our territory, so they will never go to Mu Shi Village. They should still be working outside now, and they probably don't know what happened in our village yet, because it hasn't been a long time, so as long as we hurry up, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Zhang Desen thought for a while and asked:
"Is there a secret passage through which I can leave this stronghold?"
The second-in-command of the bandits said immediately:
"This good man can rest assured. There is definitely one. The treasure house I just mentioned is the secret passage. There is another door in there. The key is next to the door, and his exit is near Mushi Village. We were originally afraid that if there was any disaster, we could use that secret passage to save our lives and take away a large amount of treasures."
Zhang Desen put the knife on his neck again and asked sternly:
"What you said is true."
The second-in-command of the bandits was so frightened that he trembled and said:
"Hero...Everything I said is true. I don't want to lose my life in vain. I'm also worried that those bastards from Lingyun Village will take the opportunity to come over. They just want to save their lives."
Zhang Desen put away the knife and said:
"Okay, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you."
The second-in-command of the bandits immediately said:
"Every word is true, absolutely true."
Zhang Desen immediately felt relieved. After all, these villagers did not have much fighting power. If they were besieged, they might panic. It would be a good choice if there was a secret passage. However, Zhang Desen had not waited for the village chief to say anything. A villager ran over and said:
"Report to the village chief, good man. A group of bandits suddenly came outside and said they would go up the mountain to receive the treasure. They asked us to hand over the treasure obediently, otherwise we will all stay here."
Zhang Desen and the village chief looked at each other, and Zhang Desen continued:
"Close the village gate immediately and then gradually evacuate from the tunnel."
The village chief immediately agreed:
"good!"
And the villager immediately went to spread the word.
