Chapter 751 [Zoo Horror Chapter] 8: Invited People

Chen Yan concentrated his attention and caught the sound coming from not far ahead in the darkness.

"Second brother! The bottom of your feet is flooded again!"

"I know, I know! Shut your mouth! Have you forgotten how Lao Ba died just now?!"

"The snake-headed man didn't follow..."

"We shot it with a few bullets on the tram track, and it's still not dead?!"

"Hey, I'm afraid it will still be alive and kicking when I catch up with it later. What should you do?"

"Lao Liu, what the hell are you talking about!"

"What Lao Liu means is that if we use a stun gun to stun it and cut it into pieces, it will catch up. If we cut off its head and throw it outside the zoo, it will catch up. Then, just hit it with a few rounds of bullets and kill it.

Even if it is beaten into a pulp, it can still keep up."

"You are kidding, Fourth Brother!"

"Who the hell knows? This place is so damn evil. Just because that thing didn't follow up, doesn't mean it was killed. So let's focus on our tactics. At least we have enough firepower now. If it comes again, we can still kill it."

of."

"Second brother, something is wrong with this damn place. It's overflowing with water. Why is there sand washed up in the water? This sand... Why did it cover my feet all at once? This fucking Bidais Island

The Devil's Cave in the north is also..."

"Stop fucking talking, your eldest brother and third brother both gave up their lives in the devil's cave in exchange for our lives. This time we all have to get out alive!"

Chen Yan listened to the conversation carried by the sea breeze. He pulled his feet out of the sand with an ugly face, and took two difficult steps forward. He found that what suddenly piled up under his feet was not quicksand. From the density and hardness of the sand, Chen Yan

Look, it's almost like an ordinary beach - a beach filled with water.

The fishy smell of the sea became stronger, as if some dead marine life had been stranded on the beach. Chen Yan faintly heard the sound of heavy breathing, which was not a sound that a mammal's lungs could make.

Chen Yan continued to concentrate on listening to the voices coming from the darkness. He heard about five voices. They were all male. He couldn't tell their age, but he felt they must be quite young. The footsteps were very messy. The group obviously did not hide their identity.

There were footsteps, so Chen Yan judged that besides these five people, there should be others.

Before he figured out the identities of those five people, he decided to slow down his progress.

'It's from the gunpowder store.'

Erest's voice appeared in Chen Yan's ear. This time she used the method of communicating with Chen Yan when she first became an octopus, a method of directly transmitting the voice to her ear. Although she didn't know the principle,

But it can achieve the effect of whispering.

Chen Yan thought to herself that the mouthparts of an octopus are completely different from those of humans. Logically speaking, she should not speak with an octopus mouth like she did just now. It may also be that her voice was loud enough just now, so he sounded like

"Speak" rather than "whisper".

Now, she switched back to this "whispering" method, and Chen Yan felt a little normal.

'The people in the gunpowder store are very dangerous. They do all kinds of business, so they usually carry weapons with them... We'd better avoid them.'

Chen Yan started to move according to Erest's prompts. He could probably judge the direction from which the voices came, and he tried his best to move forward while avoiding them.

As the source of the sound got closer and closer, the water under his feet rose higher and higher. Before Chen Yan had walked a few meters away, the sea water had already reached his waist.

This situation was actually beneficial to him. Erest was attached to his back, pushing him to move forward, which was many times faster and less laborious than when he moved by himself before.

As the people in the gunpowder store got closer and closer, their voices carried by the wind became clearer and clearer.

"You remember, the eldest brother and the third child exchanged their lives for ours, just so that we can live well, so we must not only live well, but also live with the share of the eldest brother and the third child so that we will not lose!

I emphasize again, after we go out this time, we don’t have to worry about being liquidated by the defense guards, because we pay expensive protection fees every year——

Not only do we pay taxes to the empire, but we also pay protection fees to the defense guards. There are no more serious taxpayers on Days Island than us! The empire likes us!

Once all the new adults have landed on the island and the logistics center is opened, we will all be able to get our citizen ID cards - then we will be completely clean!"

Chen Yan put his hand on the water, but the synaesthesia transmitted by the water was too weak, and he could barely feel some complex emotions - the emotions from them were complex, which showed that they were not united.

A clearer voice came over.

"Second brother, when you say clean up... you mean that by then, our previous business will no longer be done?"

"One code, one code. We still have to do business, but we can't do it as blatantly as before. The gunpowder store will still be open as usual. This is our old business. We can't let go of anything, but things in the drugstore must be slowed down.

, find an excuse to stall them for a while, and don’t contact them again in a short period of time.”

"Second brother, otherwise we won't stop doing this and just kill the agent in the drugstore."

"No, the pharmacy is a very evil place. You can't hack people randomly if you don't know the details."

"The pharmacy business is very profitable, and everyone will not be able to bear it if we suddenly lose such a way of making money, so I found a new way for you two days ago - electronic waste."

"Second brother, what is electronic waste?"

"It's just old second-hand mobile phones, second-hand computers, and some chips that are used in the empire... I don't understand it. Anyway, it's just similar things. You can bring them to Dais Island and repair them at will and sell them for sky-high prices!

There are so many rich people on Days Island, and none of them have mobile phones, so we don’t have to worry about selling them!”

"How to do this business?"

"A guy named Thomas Gilbert has contacted me. After finishing the big thing tomorrow, I will go to the dock to meet him in the evening to make the first transaction and see how the quality of his goods is. If possible, consider the long term.

cooperate."

"The e-waste business is indeed much safer than the pharmacy business... but the profit is also much less."

"You are still greedy for the pharmacy business at this time! You are looking for death! We want to clean up! Clean up! We are going ashore! We will not do those business that lost our heads in the past!"

The eccentric old Liu from before spoke again:

"We want to clear our name. We don't know whether they are willing to help us, but we don't want to be deceived by someone with a thick face and a dark heart, and we will forget everything we have done!"

"Lao Liu, no matter how arrogant you are, I'll shoot you in the head!"

"Don't be impulsive, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother is also doing it for our own good... But Sixth Brother, if you don't clean up your innocence, are you going to do those bad business affairs for the rest of your life? The woman you brought home last month is pregnant, right? This time you

What do you want? I’ll force her like last time..."

"Second brother, I understand what you mean. It's not that I don't want to clear my name. I just want all the brothers to understand that we have criminal records and criminal records. We can't just live in peace and become citizens of the empire. No.

We may suddenly become taxpayers. We want to peel off our skin, but we have to see if others are willing to do so——

It all depends on the mood of the new governor! But no one can say for sure about mood, second brother."

"Then Liu, according to your ideas, how can we safely clear our name?"

"Second brother, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"According to my idea, we not only have to peel off the skin, but also peel off the flesh - convert the wealth we have accumulated into industry. Like the big businessmen in the empire, we use the money to build factories and build factories.

Schools, roads, and charities, in this way, our money will really be..."

"Lao Liu, let's discuss it again. Once these things are done, basically we won't have anything left."

"Oh, second brother..."

"I think Brother Six is ​​right, but we also have to recognize the reality. Let me use an analogy -

We are not invited to the celebration banquet tomorrow to celebrate the completion of the logistics center.

You see, even those who just came to Seaview Street to sell fur goods have received invitations. Over the years, we have followed the defense guards in the mountains and seas, fighting evil sharks and suppressing bandits. We sold 70% of the guns on Days Island.

If it weren't for us, what would they use to fight the indigenous people?

We have made great contributions to the construction of the logistics center, but our entire gunpowder store has not even received an invitation letter. This behavior of the new governor itself represents an attitude——

People don’t look down on us at all!”

"It's not just as simple as looking down on us... I feel that our reckoning will come soon."

"Lao Liu, don't be alarmist!"

"I also felt something was wrong..."

"Damn it! Let's go to the celebration banquet and do something big! Why should we let them sit here after we conquered the country!"

"Fourth, calm down..."

"I can't calm down!"

Chen Yan vaguely realized something when he heard "Go and have a big job at the celebration banquet".

"Erest."

He called her name softly, trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

"Tell me more about this gunpowder store."

Erest's faintly mocking voice also appeared in Chen Yan's ears at this time.

‘The people in the gunpowder store are the earliest islanders on Dys Island, but no one knows their origins. When the imperial ship first landed on Dys Island, they had already set up camp on the island...

My father told me that they may be wanted criminals who fled here from the empire, but because it was so long ago, some of the wanted criminals who have not been apprehended have been revoked, so their crimes cannot be traced.'

Even if the wanted order is cancelled, no files will remain?

Chen Yan thought to himself, that must have happened at least twenty, or even thirty years ago.
To be continued...
