The black market auction of Ura Star was built underground in the center of this port city.
Gu Yuji stepped on the stairs and went down the abandoned subway tunnel. The light in the empty corridor was weak and overgrown with weeds. This subway planned by the city government was abolished halfway due to insufficient funds, and instead became a den of underground smuggling.
Joyce had been here several times, feeling the wall with familiarity and tapping on a slightly raised spot.
It turned out that there was actually a hidden door here. After checking the signal, the gatekeeper slowly opened the mechanism, revealing a completely different underground world outside the law in a dark area before Gu Yuji.
"This is our ticket." Joyce handed a few tickets to the black market boy who was the gatekeeper.
The black market boy took it and glanced at it, and pointed his hand in the yellowish chaotic light, but no one could see exactly what he was referring to: "Go in, deck 383, in the third underground. building."
He mentioned the red seal and stamped a seal on the clothes on Gu Yuji's arm.
"It is said that this is convenient for emergencies and to eliminate the bugs that got in." Seeing Gu Yu subconsciously frowning, Joyce leaned over and explained in a low voice, "Follow me, the stairs are here."
This building is upside down on the ground. The first floor is the highest floor. It does not belong to the auction house. Instead, there are large and small turntable gambling games. Countless star coins and banknotes are sprinkled on the table like ordinary things.
The gamblers may be so excited that they have won a lot of money, as if they have taken medicine, or they have lost their family and become red-eyed and will come again. A layer of oil on the water, always suspended above the dim yellow light, is unreal.
"This dear male, won't you have a game?"
All the way through the chaotic and crazy insect swarm, Gu Yu's head was buzzing, and he was stopped no less than four or five times.
Every time she was stopped, Na Yawo would definitely pick up a salty pig's hand, and Gu Yu even disliked opening the claws, so she had to dodge like a plague god.
Moore and Joyce took the initiative to protect him on both sides, blocking the restless claws for him first. Loria whispered in the back: "Colonel Yi Rong looks like this, and there are female worms coming to touch the porcelain. If it looks like that, won't the audience go crazy?"
As Gu Yu walked on the road with disgust, he answered casually: "Then it's over, we can only perish together."
Loria: "..."
Moore detected a tendency in his bosses: "Why is it 'together' all the time? Can't there be a better solution?"
Gu Yu looked at him lovingly: "Silly boy, I'm just kidding, you really lose."
There is a problem with this premise, he is not stupid, why does he have nothing to come to this ghost place? Is it because you eat too much to support yourself, or sleep too much and are stupid
Moore: "… "
The fist is hard, how did Colonel Gu owe so much every day and live so long? If he generated a female worm, he would have been pulled down by the worm and swarmed.
However, if this is the case, Colonel Gu, who has become a female worm, is estimated to have to pull up a few levels in combat power, and it is not very good to beat.
They descended the filthy, unidentified stained stairs, where there were many stalls selling counterfeit money, drugs, or female worms.
Female worms are the most common commodity on this stall, and there are various types, including robust general female worms, and petite sub-females. The common point is that they are all locked in iron cages and stamped with the goods number on their foreheads. The eyes are the same numb and dull.
Gu Yu's eyes swept across the female insects in these iron cages, and finally collided with one of the female females who just looked up.
Naya seemed to sense that he was a male, and looked at him with a look of extreme sadness and supplication.
Gu Yu noticed that the reason for him was those beautiful pale gray eyes, which were still moving even in despair due to suffering. He looks like Gu Yu's female father, Gu Yu's eyes are inherited from his female father, and this Asian female's face also has some shadows similar to his female father.
Gu Yu's eyes moved.
And Na Ya female noticed his gaze that stayed too long, and rubbed forward, causing the iron chain to rattle.
Gu Yu quickly turned his head and looked away, his expression a little indifferent.
He shouldn't have been watching for so long, giving hope and despair to the female worm in the cage in vain. There's no need to buy him just because he looks like a female father and save this one, what about the other thousands
When Wulashing was captured, Gu Yuhui was the first to take the lead in suppressing this underground black market.
When he walked past the stall selling female worms with a blank face, a shadowy figure suddenly pounced in the corner, and the worms were caught off guard. Fortunately, Yanmo, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out his hand and caught the shadowy vendor in time. hood.
"What?" Joyce asked sharply.
The vendor was a rickety old female, wearing a black cloak. He raised his head and smiled, revealing a mouthful of smoky yellow teeth. His smile was a little humble and flattering:
"Okay, this male, take a look at the Gu worms in my basket, there are all kinds, as long as you want, I have them here."
Gu worm
As soon as the word came out, Gu Yu and his party were all surprised.
The curtain of the basket was lifted, revealing the chrysalis full of insects, colorful, white, black or purple.
Gu Yu suppressed his beating heart and asked the old man in a low voice, "Lower Zerg?"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "What are you talking about this man, what kind of low-level Zerg is this? It's obviously a Gu insect, and the low-level Zerg was captured and burned by the empire a hundred years ago. The empire can clearly order it. Forbidden, no matter who sees the lower Zerg, even one must be eradicated and burned."
The last sentence is really ironic. This old man is in the underground black market where the law is outside the law.
But Gu Yu and his party could see clearly that this worm pupae was exactly the same as the low-level zerg they had learned in school when they were young.
In the junior high school history class, every Imperial student will learn in the textbook that when the race evolved millions of years ago, their Zerg and the lower Zerg all originated from the same ancestor. But one evolves towards higher intelligent life, and the other becomes more and more degenerate, and eventually loses even the most basic wisdom, leaving only the instinct of mating, reproduction and cannibalization.
Once two low-level Zerg appear, they can fill their entire school in just ten days, and slowly eat away all the buildings in it.
In history, the Zerg has experienced numerous locust-like swarms of low-level Zerg worms. Each time the Zerg suffered heavy losses.
When the lower Zerg evolved thousands of years ago, they were different from the general Zerg. They are high-level intelligent beings, while the low-level Zerg are still just insects, or pests, harming huge pests.
It was not until a hundred years ago that the empire used the power of the whole family to announce that all the lower Zerg were eradicated. But right now, there are still rumors of a low-level Zerg that has gone extinct and reappeared under the name of "Gu Zerg"
Gu Yu and Joyce looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
How long has "Gu worm" appeared in the underground black market? Is it the only Ura star that has it? Has it spread to other galaxies? How wide is the spread
But no matter how Gu Yu further questioned the old man, he still didn't know. The "Gu worm" in the old man's hand was also bought from other black merchants, and other worms were bought as a "toy", and no one thought deeply about whether it was a low-level zerg.
After Gu Yu bought the basket of worm pupae, he took several photos as evidence, which would be handed over to the Military Review Committee for investigation later.
"This is really the last basket in your hand?" Gu Yu glanced at the old man suspiciously.
The old man hurriedly smiled to please: "It must be the last basket. My family is the only one selling the entire Ura Star underground black market! You are the last basket, Xiongzi!"
Gu Yu reluctantly believed the old man's words, and looked at the chrysalis in the basket with disgust, and asked the old man, "Why haven't they reproduced after so long?"
The old man snorted and was amazed at his biological common sense: "It's still a chrysalis! How to reproduce? Gu worms are all chrysalis. Only when they enter the body will they break open their cocoons and crawl out to reproduce everywhere."
Gu Yu was puzzled for a moment: "Where is the body?"
The old man sullenly poked the skin on the back of Gu Yu's hand with his sharp fingertips: "Hey, of course it's in this body, Gu, where else can I go other than here?"
The back of Gu Yu's hand that was poked by him stood upside down, and Moore and Joyce couldn't stop the hair in their hearts - this thing is too disgusting, isn't it
Loria, who always likes to help Gu Yu with things, shrinks back this time and doesn't dare to mention it: "This, this, this basket, you should carry it male..."
Although Gu Yu felt hairy in his heart, he couldn't stop him from laughing at the courageous people around him: "I haven't broken the cocoon and climbed in. What are you afraid of?"
"I think we should still burn," Joyce said.
Gu Yu thought for a while and agreed: "But I have to keep one or two and bring them back, so that they can check it out."
There was a delay on the way, and when they went down to the third underground floor and entered the reserved box, the auction had already been announced.
The entire auction house monopolized the five or six underground floors, and the third floor was the highest one.
Unlike the tattered, dirty stains on the top, the auction floor below is like another world, with a magnificent and splendid architectural structure like an opera house. The platform in the center of the bottom floor is bright and clean. It really seems to be an art palace on the countertop. No one would have thought that this is a black market auction.
Each box on each floor has a one-way floor-to-ceiling glass, which can not be seen from the outside, which well protects the safety of customers.
The host bug also appeared wearing a classical opera mask, just like announcing a show, ushering in the first blockbuster auction item today! "
"The one and only of the empire - A-level male insects!"
Accompanied by this shout, all the boxes in the audience who could not see clearly inside burst into bursts of excited cheers.
But only deck 383 was silent, Gu Yu sat in his seat, like a country bumpkin entering the city, the whole worm was stupid.
Not only him, but the other five females are also stupid.
What did they just hear—
A-grade males
Is the Ura Star Auction Crazy? Is the world crazy, or are they crazy
"Damn it..." Lieutenant Colonel Joyce, who had been shocked for a long time, scolded them in a daze, "Where did they get A-level males, my mother's blind date in the capital star can't be so high-level. The males of…”
"But isn't Ura Star controlled by the male country?" Mor also said dumbly, "How can they still dare to auction males?"
Yan Mo was silent at the end, and said lightly: "Business is business, and revolution is revolution."
Loria said foolishly: "Oh dear, A-grade male, no wonder the auction hall is full of seats today, this must not be mad..."
In the center of the platform, a cage slowly rose from the ground, and a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old gray-haired male worm appeared in front of the worms.
The entire scene was completely ignited with the appearance of the male insects.
On the auction floor at this time, a tall black-haired female wearing a mask walked down the stairs.
His pace was a little hurried, and behind him he quickly followed a masked female worm who was slightly shorter than him, and whispered to him: "The auction should start, we have to hurry up, I don't know what the ore is. were sold…”
Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced on them while they were on their way.
The tall black-haired female responded quickly, but her step back was inexplicably uncoordinated, but she quickly got used to it.
The female worm following him also stopped, grabbed the shadow and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"
If Gu Yu and his party were there, they would definitely recognize that this was the old man who had just stopped them from selling "Gu worms".
And the merchant who had just declared to Gu Yu that he was the last basket in his hand, now put forward another basket in his hand, and said to the tall black-haired female worm behind the blocking female worm flatteringly:
"Okay, this gentleman, take a look at the Gu worms in my basket, there are all kinds, as long as you want, I have them here."
"Gu worm?" The black-haired female worm moved her thin lips and asked in return.
His voice was very deep, and he had a sense of calmness and control that he was used to seeing in the world. His tone was as cold as snow, and in just one sentence, the coolness penetrated into the bones of the worm.
The old man who had been in the underground black market for many years trembled in his heart, looked up at the female insect that was almost taller than his entire upper body, and intuitively decided that this insect was not easy to mess with.
The black-haired female worm was wearing a simple black trench coat. The advantage of her height and long legs made this long trench coat unable to cover it, and it became a foil.
The mask obscured his appearance, but those equally dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to swallow a worm at a glance.
It seems that all the scheming tricks that he thinks are exquisite can't escape his eyes, and he can see them clearly as if they were underwater.
The old man didn't really want to do this worm's business anymore, but when he got here, he could only bite the bullet and continue to open the basket, but his tone was much more cautious: "You... Look at the Gu worm inside?"
The tall female lowered her eyes and looked into the basket.
The female insect beside him was startled and whispered, "—Lower Zerg?"
The female worm couldn't believe it for a while, and looked at the backbone beside her as if asking for help.
The old man muttered: "This is not some low-level Zerg, it's a Gu insect, Gu insect, the low-level Zerg have long been extinct in the empire..."
The tall black-haired female worm didn't say much after hearing the words, just took it out in her pocket. The old man thought he was paying for money, and subconsciously happy in his eyes, but in the next instant, a black muzzle hit the ground. on his forehead.
"The most important thing for a merchant is to tell his customers the essence of the goods they trade." The female in a black trench coat said lightly, "I think I, as a customer, have the right to remind you of this."
The old man's hunched body trembled, and he stared fearfully at those eyes that were so deep that they could not reveal the slightest emotion.
"This, this is the territory of the black market, you, you can't shoot casually..."
The black-haired female worm lightly tapped his forehead with the muzzle, and the cold muzzle touched the old man's calf and he almost fell to his knees.
"Since it's a black market, shouldn't it be traded in a black market way? I do business with you sincerely, what about your sincerity?" The female worm said without hesitation.
The old man finally revealed the truth tremblingly.
"This is a Gu worm that gradually spread in the Ulla Star after the inexplicable organization of the Male Insect Kingdom occupied the Ulla Star. I also know that it is a low-level Zerg... But, it can only break the cocoon when it enters the worm's body. Propagation, so, so I used it to make money..."
"I'm telling the truth, if there's half a lie I'm going to die, customer!"
The black-haired female worm gestured with her eyes to the worm beside her to bring the basket over, and put a few star coins in front of the old man, but did not withdraw the gun, just continued to ask lightly: "This is the last basket?"
The old man shook his head, raised his hand and swore, "It's definitely the last basket, it's definitely the last basket! If you see me selling Gu worms here next time, customer, you will kill me!"
The tall black-haired female swept him indifferently, and was noncommittal to the words of this underground trader who was walking on the edge of the knife to make money, but finally took the gun back.
He calmly put it back in his pockets and put his hands in his pockets, as if he really just completed an ordinary transaction.
Going deeper into the underground auction hall, and taking a seat in Box 321, the female worm holding a basket next to him took off the mask and whispered:
"Lieutenant General, shall we burn this basket of low-level Zerg, or take it back?"
The tall black-haired female slowly took off her mask, and her deep eyes swept through the glass window to the A-grade male in the iron cage under the stage.
"Burn half, keep half," he said briefly.
