Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 57: Incident

Views:

Qianye jumped onto the truck, searched inside and out carefully, made sure to eliminate all traces of himself, and then found a force gun from the guard and Qi Yue.

Qi Yue is wearing a pistol type force gun. The model is called Wasp, and it is of high quality, with a force conversion rate of 30%, which can already be regarded as a second-class firearm. The guard is an assault rifle, a second-hand product that was retired from the Expeditionary Corps, and it is a product of the last century. Although it is old, it can barely be classified as a first-class one.

The standard for dividing force firearms by the empire and the dark race is the same, and the core indicator is the force conversion rate. 20% is the minimum starting line, and those who reach 20% are first-level firearms, and then every 10% increase in conversion rate will be upgraded to one level. For example, the special version of Red Scorpion's Scorpion Needle is level 4, and the basic version of the Flowing Gold Rose that Qianye got should be considered level 3. As for the first model of the old antique Dawning Light, it is not popular at all nowadays, not even the first level.

Qianye also found the mithril bullet from the bodyguard, this little guy is a sharp weapon against the dark race. He opened the sealed box and took a look. The strong mithril breath still made him churn, and he felt uncomfortable.

However, the previous battle with the blood race made Qianye see a new possibility. If he could control the blood power in his body to infuse the original energy bombs, maybe he would not have to rely solely on silver poison to deal with the blood race in the future. According to the results of the battle against the fourth-level vampire elder, the use of heavy bullets, coupled with the additional damage of blood to vampires, can basically kill vampire warriors of the same level of combat power in one shot. When facing blood fighters one or two levels higher, if one shot hits the vital point, it should also be able to severely injure the opponent.

Qianye still can't understand the abnormality in himself at this time, but he has the most simple and pragmatic style of a soldier, using all means to attack the enemy, only asking about the record, not cause and effect.

In addition to these equipment, Qianye also found more than a dozen imperial gold coins. Even for Qi Yue's status, it was quite a fortune.

Qianye tore off the tactical backpack from the bodyguard, emptied out the unnecessary items inside, leaving only a set of precision tools for firearm maintenance, and then put the bloody golden rose and all the tactical accessories into it. . The guard's assault rifle was disassembled and packed into a backpack.

With only the full Dawnlight and Wasp on his body, he started to turn back. Soon Qianye found the box he had hidden. He sat beside him and practiced for a while, when he heard the crisp ringing of the timer lock of the suitcase, indicating that the three-hour warning time had come.

Qianye pressed lightly on the switch of the suitcase, and the lid popped open automatically, revealing the goods covered with thick velvet. A small force level was fixed on it. Extends all the way to the lid.

And the inside of the flipped-up box cover was actually filled with plastic explosives, which was enough to blow up the contents of the box and the person holding the box to nothing.

Qianye carefully removed the level, timing device, and automatic detonator, then lifted the flannelette, and immediately took a deep breath, with anger gradually appearing on his face.

Inside the suitcase were neatly placed four black crystals, each about the size of a palm and about one centimeter thick.

Sombra!

Qianye never expected that the deal between Qi Yue and the blood clan would be to exchange the black crystal for the force gun!

The black crystal in the box is a standard cutting unit, and the engraved label is medium purity. This is not an ordinary combustion driving energy, but a manufacturing grade black crystal! One of the important uses that Qianye knew was to make energy compression magazines for Force guns.

If this batch of marked black crystals is used for level 3 force guns, two pieces can be made for each piece, and for level 4 force guns, two pieces can be used to make one.

It seems that the forces behind Qi Yue have a channel to obtain a stable source of black crystals, so they have the idea of long-term transactions with the blood clan.

And the well-equipped Flowing Gold Rose has both artistic value. If it is auctioned in the middle and upper continents, it can be exchanged for 20 standard units of black crystals. A full four times the profit, no wonder they dared to take such a big risk to trade with the blood clan. Once this channel is opened, gold coins will naturally flow in.

However, what made Qianye angry was that these black crystals would turn into eight golden roses if they fell into the hands of the vampires! If it is an ordinary third-level force gun that is not so elegant, you can make ten of them! After deducting other expenses, this transaction is more than three times profitable for the blood family.

Among the dark races, the blood race has always been the greatest enemy of the human race, because humans are still one of the main dishes on their diet. In the depths of the Eternal Night Continent, as well as on the continent controlled by the dark race, there are countless human beings who are kept in captivity like livestock to provide food for the blood race.

The hatred of thousands of years can no longer be resolved by any means, only death.

But under such a background, the Qi family actually secretly traded strategic materials such as Heijing to the blood clan. This kind of behavior is completely an enemy! According to the laws of the empire, any contact with the dark race is a felony. Once discovered, the lightest is life imprisonment. And the current behavior of the Qi family is enough to kill the whole family.

However, Qianye's short service experience in the Red Scorpion told him that things were not that simple. In the Eternal Night Continent far away from the mainland of the empire, the Empire Expeditionary Force is the ruler. The background of the Qi family is the Imperial Expeditionary Army. If what Qi Yue said is true, he is the illegitimate son of an active division commander of the Expeditionary Army.

Regardless of whether there is a bigger black hand behind the transaction disrupted by Qianye this time, only the above two factors are involved, not to mention bringing the Qi family to justice, the first thing he has to worry about is the pursuit that he will face next . And it may be a wanted issued in the name of the expeditionary force.

Qianye considered for a while, and decided to change the original plan. He put away the black crystal, and returned to the battlefield with the blood clan with the box. Fortunately, there was no trace of outsiders entering the scene.

He quickly cleaned the surrounding area, put the corpses of the three blood races together, then reset the delay detonator on the lid of the suitcase, put it on the corpses, and turned to leave.

A few minutes later, Qianye heard a roar from behind, and the flames of the explosion rushed tens of meters straight. The power of these explosives is indeed strong enough. Under this level of explosion, the blood race corpses must be torn apart, and it is difficult to find out the cause of their death.

Qianye checked the direction, and instead of going back to Heiliu City, he walked north. From that direction, you can reach the Panshi collar, which is the garrison area of the third division of the expeditionary force.

Unlike the relatively peaceful Heiliu City, the Panshi Territory is on the front line of the conflict with the dark race, and many forces are mixed. There are mercenaries, hunters, and gang organizations of all sizes. The situation is much more complicated, and the dominance of the expeditionary force is far less than that of Heiliu City.

Once there, Qianye will re-plan the future path.

In Yunfan City, which is less than 200 kilometers away from Heiliu City, Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan got up at five o'clock on time, and walked into his office when the big clock struck six o'clock. In the more than thirty years he has been in the army, this habit has never changed.

It was still dark at the moment, and it would be another five hours before the sun could pour down from the edge of the upper-middle continents. However, hundreds of blazing gas lamps illuminated the school grounds like daylight, and teams of fighters had already performed morning exercises on the school grounds, shouting slogans one after another, full of murderous intent.

Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan was not tall, but he was as strong as steel. A pair of thick eyebrows are like unsheathed sharp knives. Although the eyes are disproportionately small, they are full of light from the two slits.

Standing in front of the window, he looked at the warriors with the spirit of dragons and wolves on the school field, nodded with satisfaction, then went back to his desk, picked up the latest Imperial Post, and read it.

At this moment, the door knocked suddenly, Wu Zhengnan's face darkened, a little displeased, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Come in!"

From six to seven in the morning is the time for him to read the latest news and think about the political situation of the empire. There is no important thing to disturb.

The door was gently pushed open, and a pretty female adjutant came in and said, "General, Director Qi said he has something important to see you for."

Qi Sicheng, the logistics director of the Seventh Division, was quite competent in his work, and his method of greedy for money was reasonable, and he never caused any trouble for Wu Zhengnan.

The important thing is that he also has a very seductive wife who has been very satisfied with Wu Zhengnan for more than 20 years, and he never forgets her. That woman also quietly gave birth to Wu Zhengnan's son, but Qi Sicheng pretended not to know anything about it.

Wu Zhengnan's voice softened, and he said, "Let him in."

Although Qi Sicheng was nearly sixty years old, he looked only in his early forties, and was tall and handsome, full of the charm of a middle-aged man. However, in front of Wu Zhengnan, who was of medium stature, Qi Sicheng was like a sheep seeing a tiger, not only bowed down to apologize, but also always gave people a feeling of shrinking.

Wu Zhengnan just liked his attitude. But on the surface, he still put on a gentle smile and said, "Old Qi, come and sit, there are no outsiders here now."

But Qi Sicheng straightened his back and said seriously: "General, this is the army. There is a clear distinction between the top and bottom of the army, and the order must not be messed up!"

Wu Zhengnan sighed, and said: "Old Qi, you are always so rigid! How many times have I told you, when there are no outsiders around, you should relax! Oh, well, you come here at this time If you are looking for me, there must be something, tell me!"

Qi Sicheng lowered his voice and said: "The deal last night went wrong, Qi Yue and his followers all died outside the city."

"What!" Wuzheng Nanteng stood up suddenly, his face was instantly livid, "What's going on? Isn't everything arranged properly? Could it be that those blood races backtracked?"

"Not those cold-blooded monsters. My men found the remains of three vampires nearby, as well as fragments of the box that contained the shipment. But the items traded between the two sides are gone."

Wu Zhengnan's anger quickly dissipated, he calmed down, and said, "So, someone else is following our transaction?"

Qi Sicheng said slowly: "I don't think it is very likely. This is the first transaction, and the purpose is just to explore the way and open up the channel with this side. The value of the transaction is not great, and the news is kept strictly confidential. There are only a few people, and not all of them know all the links. I have checked one by one, and they are all fine. So I think the biggest possibility is that some people just happened to pass by the trading place, and then robbed this batch of things. "

Wu Zhengnan's face sank like water, and he asked coldly, "Then did you find any clues?"
