The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 100 Deep camouflage (5000)

In the evening, Westport was shrouded in dim twilight. A middle-aged man dressed as a boatman stood on the container and looked down at the audience: "Take out all your black cards and stand against the wall. No Anyone can work for Mr. Liu, if you want to make a living here, you must know the rules."

  He said: "No matter what your identities were before, or how much background you have in the real world, it's all useless now! Since it's no longer clean, then let me put down the airs!"

  The mercenaries with live ammunition took a gun and drove a group of people to the corner like ducks, and said impatiently: "All raise your hands, you are not allowed to hold anything in your hands, all stand against the wall."

  Most people did not dare to resist, so they obediently obeyed the request and raised their hands.

   But there are also some people who are somewhat reluctant, most of them are people with some status in the real world. They were knocked to the ground with the **** of a gun before they yelled a few words, and then thrown directly into the sea.

   This scene frightened many people, but they didn’t dare to say anything, and accepted the inspection obediently.

  The dark world is often so cruel. If it weren't for the depravity, most people would choose to live in the sun instead of coming to the forbidden area to experience the law of the jungle.

   Most of the fallen here used to come from the Ether Association and other sublimation organizations.

  Degenerated due to various reasons, if you don't want to be erased, you can only escape to the forbidden area.

  Give up all identities in the real world, and be a man with your tail between your legs.

   There are also wild sublimators who were hunted down after falling and had to come here.

  Of course, there are also a small number of people who did not fall, just because they violated the order convention specified by the International Alliance of Sublimators, in other words, they committed crimes in the real world and were forced to come to the forbidden area to avoid hunting.

  In short, these people are all black identities and have lost their place in the real world.

   Here, people go missing or die every day.

   No one cares, and it doesn't matter.

  Because on the second day, there will be new people coming in.

  Some came in directly, and some were smuggled in by boat, and some were arrested.

  Always maintain the operation of the forbidden zone.

  The taboo area has never been a place for people to report to the group to keep warm.

   It is a cage that allows capital to expose its true face nakedly.

  Here, the tool used by capital to enslave people is not entirely profit, but fate.

  Zhong Li moved a box of goods to the door of the store, looked at the empty shop, and said quietly: "Everyone is gone again. Dad, Brother Zhang Yi and the others went to Heiyun City Walled, so they can't come back?"

   "It's none of your business, don't inquire about it."

A skinny old man reprimanded: "Anyway, remember the rules here, as long as those who leave, you will acquiesce that they will not come back. What's wrong with you? Do you really think that Zhang Yi is good to you? He It's just that you are so stupid and easy to deceive. How do you think you lost your natural grass last month?"

   This person's name is Zhong Guoqing, and Zhong Li is his own daughter.

  Both father and daughter are unclean people who take natural grass to suppress distortion, and they are also working for the third master.

  The job here is to guard the store, bring goods in from the port every day, and then recruit some treasure appraisers to sort out the non-polluting goods, and then send them to the black market for sale, or send them to cargo ships.

  It seems simple, but it has certain requirements for your rank.

  After all, besides moving the goods, you also have to guard against those treasure appraisers killing people, stealing goods, or stealing things.

  Both father and daughter are second-tier, the father is the ancient warrior path, and the daughter is the witch path.

  One is in charge of fighting, and the other is in charge of watching the scene. They have cooperated very well these years.

  Finally got the position of store manager.

  Of course, only by living a long time can one become a store manager.

"Okay, I know you little girl has grown up, don't read your **** romance novels all day long, those **** things are deceptive. Besides, how can there be any real feelings in the forbidden area? Wait until we save enough money to leave Here, go to a small country in Southeast Asia, you can still go to university to study, and then you can marry a reliable family. Your father and I have suffered from being uneducated in this life, and we are looked down upon wherever we go. "

Zhong Guoqing patted the back of his daughter's head and reprimanded him: "We haven't been arrested by the association, and we haven't committed any crimes. As long as you save enough money to run out, and rely on medicine for the rest of your life, you can still live for decades. .”

  Zhong Li pursed her lips, and let out an unhappy groan.

  For the unclean, as long as they are not wanted by the association, there is still hope.

   As long as one takes the natural herb every day to suppress the distortion, and then purchases some medicines that can dilute the side effects of this herb, although it is impossible to die, at least one can live for a few more years.

  Zhong Li, who was polluted at a young age, can probably live to be in his fifties if conditions permit.

   Zhong Guoqing was polluted relatively late. He is now fifty years old and barely able to live for more than ten years.

"Have a meal."

  Zhong Guoqing went to the store's kitchen and brought over two dinner plates.

  The dinner for the father and daughter is two synthetic steaks, the kind that is very common in supermarkets, and they are often discounted.

   Plus four fried eggs, two steamed buns, and half a sausage.

   A meal will never add up to more than fifteen yuan.

  The life of the bottom-level people is like this, no matter whether others think the matching is strange or not.

  How to live how to come.

   At this time, two mercenaries with guns came over and said impatiently: "Zhong Guoqing, come out! I have arranged a few newcomers for you, come out and pick them up quickly."

  Zhong Guoqing quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, patted his daughter on the shoulder, and pulled her out together.

  In the forbidden area of ​​Westport, these mercenaries cannot be offended.

  The mercenaries left after delivering them. Five newcomers stood at the door of the shop, four men and one woman.

  Three of them were obviously smuggled immigrants, and they smelled foul and dirty.

   The environment on the human-snake boat can be imagined.

  The remaining two people look much cleaner.

  The boy looked young, with black shattered hair, but his appearance was very clean. There was some dust on his white shirt and jeans, and his sneakers were also full of dirt, making him look a little embarrassed.

  The other is a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and dirty body.

   "You two, where are you from?"

  Zhong Guoqing put on the airs of a store manager, years of experience told him a truth.

  People are good at being bullied, if you don't stand up, sooner or later you will be ridiculed in the face.

   "We fled from the Heiyun Walled City to Westport. Before the Ether Association wiped out the Walled City and completely eliminated the Grave Digger Organization, we were also implicated."

  The boy calmly replied: "Only my brother and I escaped."

  Another man smiled wryly: "The association is getting tighter and tighter, and there is no way to live."

  Zhong Guoqing turned his head and glanced at his daughter.

  I saw a strange white in Zhong Li's pupils, and said in a low voice, "Stable in spirit, without distortion."

  The perception of the witch path can perceive the mental state of the sublimated person.

   Regardless of whether you are a fallen person or not, as long as you use drugs to suppress it, then there is no problem.

   "Well, it must be no problem to be sent by Boss Wang to do this."

  Zhong Guoqing asked cautiously again: "How did you avoid the Great Ruins in Heiyun City Walled City?"

   "Stone tree oil mixed with human blood, combined with Phaseless Flower."

  The man smiled and said: "The store manager, I don't lie to my brother, I just want to be honest and eat."

  Zhong Guoqing hummed when he saw this, and asked, "What's your name? What's your rank?"

   "Gu Ting, first-rank commander."

   "Zhou Jianlin, first-order Liangyi."

   "Yo, the two oldest paths?"

  Zhong Guoqing nodded, and then asked the remaining three people a few questions.

   After confirming that it was correct, he went back to the store, sat down, and cleared his throat.

   "Now that you have arrived in Xigang, you must have known the general rules just now. Everyone has no way to survive in the real world. Now that you are working for Mr. Liu, you should stop thinking carefully and work hard."

  He said: "If you survive, you will be free."

   "Yes, yes, yes, the store manager is right, everyone is doing things for Mr. Liu."

  One of the stowaways looked a little tactful, and quickly flattered him: "There are things to take care of."

Zhong Guoqing didn't like this at all, and continued: "There are some rules, I have to explain to you clearly. First of all, the things in the store are absolutely not allowed to be kept privately. Some people who are obsessed with money always like to steal things from the store. Take it out and sell it. Let me tell you, it’s the property of the government, and once it’s found out, you won’t be enough to die ten times.”

  He said: "There are surveillance cameras in the store, and occasionally someone from above will come to inspect, don't be clever."

"Secondly, when you are assigned, someone has already told you. Our task is very simple, that is, to transport and unload the goods every day, and then wait for the treasure appraiser to come to appraise the treasure. Once the treasure is appraised, if it is a pollutant, then give One thousand. If it is pollution-free, then five hundred. Specifically, I will guide you on the spot.”

   "The money is also from the public. I will settle the accounts every day. If there is a dollar that is not right, then use your own money to make up. If you have no money, you should know the consequences."

  The old man glanced at the pier, alluding to the man who had been thrown overboard earlier.

  The five of them changed their faces when they thought of the man's tragedy.

   "Ordinary treasure appraisers don't dare to think carefully about grabbing things. If they are strong, they don't care about these things. But just in case, there are some weapons in the store, which can be used as appropriate."

Zhong Guoqing said with a stern face: "Finally, let me emphasize one more point. To be honest, to be honest is better than anything else. Don't always think about speculation. If you have crooked thoughts here, most of them will die, understand? "

"understand!"

  The five of them spoke in unison and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

  Zhong Guoqing was obviously very satisfied. He pointed to the cargo boxes in the distance and ordered: "Now move the goods first, and I will introduce you to familiarize yourself with the work here."

  ·

  ·

boom.

  A box of goods was moved to the warehouse at the back door of the store.

  Gu Jianlin wiped off his sweat vigorously, looking ashamed and out of breath.

   This was the first time in his life that he came out to do such a tiring job. He was forced to work within five minutes after he was assigned to the store. This work lasted two and a half hours, and it was already dark.

  It’s not that he didn’t come out to work before, but he just experienced the society and exercised himself.

   Or rather, pass the time.

  Although the father left all the property to the mother, the quality of life of the father and son did not decrease much.

   Money is always enough to spend.

  So it's easy for him to work outside.

  But in Westport, people are really treated like animals.

   Well, after all, the people here are sublimators, and the labor force is stronger.

  Gu Jianlin lightly stomped his foot, clusters of pale will-o'-the-wisps spread under his feet, spreading in all directions.

  In the range burned by the ghost fire, all flies, mosquitoes and microorganisms will be deprived of their lives.

  Transform into natural energy and pour it into the body.

  The exhaustion on his face immediately disappeared, and he returned to normal.

  At this time, Shuweng came in with two boxes of goods in his arms, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have found out everything."

  Gu Jianlin glanced at him: "Say."

Shuweng said in a low voice: "The three smugglers are also from the Hua Kingdom, but they all came from Xiacheng. If you want to come to the Qilin Fairy Palace to try your luck, there is no problem. The store manager and his daughter are unclean people. , a second-level Qi Refiner, and a second-level Perceiver. Both work for Mr. Liu."

He paused: "They are the same as us. They are all arranged to live on the first floor of Building B, and our breakfast, lunch and dinner are also settled in Building B. The daily salary is more than 300 yuan, and it will cost 10,000 yuan a month. money."

  Gu Jianlin fell silent.

   They are all sublimators with extraordinary abilities, risking their lives but can only make a monthly salary of 10,000.

   It's really complicated.

   "But living here, salary is only part of it. Most people come here for opportunities."

Shuweng said: "Our luck is good. We are assigned to the Appreciation Store. We have the opportunity to contact people on board every day. Once someone wants to charter a boat and leave, we will definitely be able to grasp the trend. If we are willing to show some strength , with a high probability of being able to catch up with those so-called opportunities.”

   "Opportunity?"

  Gu Jianlin raised his eyebrows.

   "Yes, opportunity. Most of the people here are low-level workers."

  Shu Weng said in a low voice: "But there are also a small number of people who will be favored by Liu Sanye because of their special performance. For example, the butcher, he became the killer under the hands of the third master because of his strong strength."

  Gu Jianlin became more and more curious: "Who the **** is Mr. Liu?"

Shuweng shook his head and said: "I really don't know the details, and it's not a simple information that can be found out, but it probably comes from a mysterious heretical organization that came to Westport a year ago. It is said that at that time There are quite a few underworld forces competing with him for the business in Sihanoukville, using various methods, and there are countless big and small fires."

   "Even asked someone to assassinate the third master, but they all failed in the end."

He paused: "It is said that the third master spent a lot of money to hire a very powerful bodyguard, who claimed to be invincible within the fourth rank! It was this person who swept away the black forces in the entire Westport, and made the third master's family dominate. I heard that it was a A fourth-rank Asura, the way to kill ghosts. This gave me a guess about the identity of this person..."

  Gu Jianlin looked at him calmly: "Yue Ji?"

  Shu Weng said: "Yes."

   Gu Jianlin thought to himself that as expected, the fourth-order Shura who appeared today is Yue Ji herself.

   I didn’t expect that there would be such a big gain from a trip to Sihanoukville.

  The two most powerful fighters in the group of five were found.

   Today's Gu Jianlin is not the Mengxin who just traveled through the past and didn't understand anything.

  Now he has broken free from part of the shackles of Venerable Candle Dragon, has control over part of Asgard, and has also learned to make the blood of the ancient gods, which can transform the fallen into his own servants.

  In addition to the Ethernet Association, he can completely create a force of his own.

  Although, from the current point of view, not everyone is qualified to transform into a **** servant.

  Among the group of people killed in Heiyun City, even the fourth-tier captain and two third-tier vice-captains could not withstand the baptism of the blood of the ancient gods, and transformed into insects.

  In that state, it is not a successful evolution at all, and the combat power has not been strengthened much.

   If you really fight, you will explode and die within a few seconds.

   On the contrary, it is Yan Ye, his talent is really good, and he can withstand the baptism of the blood of the ancient gods.

   As a result, it was still killed in the end.

  Although Pharmacist and Shuweng survived the first baptism of the blood of the ancient gods, most of them also used drugs to assist them.

   I want to evolve again in the future, whether I can survive it or not is another matter.

  Gu Jianlin is not some perverted lunatic. The education he received since childhood told him that even if you have mastered high-end abilities, you can't just experiment with other people's lives.

  If he did, Dad would probably be disappointed with him.

   That is to say, although the blood of the ancient **** can create a servant, it must strictly abide by the bottom line.

  Leaving Yueji aside, the life of the butcher is coming to an end...

Gu Jianlin fell into deep thought: "At present, after the association has captured Lin Yuan, there is no news, but there is a high probability that a war will start. So it is better for my side to make arrangements in advance. After all, it is necessary to Guard against that Gu Master..."

   At this moment, the black unicorn in the depths of his consciousness suddenly became agitated, and a distant call sounded vaguely.

  In the depths of his consciousness, there was actually a faint star flickering.

   Someone is trying to call him through the Qilin Asgard!

   I don’t know who it is, but he must not be able to answer the call right now, otherwise he will simply disappear in place.

  Gu Jianlin chose to ignore it for the time being.

  ·

  ·

  As night fell, Zhong Li wiped the sweat from his brow, lay on the door of the shop and looked out, curiosity surged in his clear eyes: "Dad, these newcomers work quite neatly."

Zhong Guoqing nodded his head at the money at the cashier, and said with a sneer, "Smart ass, those three smugglers started to be lazy after moving the goods for an hour. Playing that little cleverness, deliberately staggering the time, resting alone There are two people left to move. After a period of time and then rotate, I will play the rest."

  Zhong Li shook his head and said curiously: "No, I mean the other two people, they look like they have not suffered any hardships, but they are really able to endure hardships."

  In the warehouse, Gu Jianlin was covered in sweat, walking over with two cargo boxes on his shoulders, and stacked them together.

   Shuweng followed behind, dragging a cart full of groceries.

   "These two people are okay, call them over first, let them rest for a while."

   Zhong Guoqing said.

  Zhong Li hummed: "Gu Ting, Zhou Jianlin, you two come over and have a rest!"

  Gu Jianlin and Shuweng looked at each other. Since they are going to pretend here, they must act a little more like it.

  They immediately showed joyful expressions, patted the ashes on their bodies, and prepared to come over.

   Unexpectedly, someone just came to the store at this time and asked politely:

   "Excuse me, do you need appraisers here?"

  Zhong Guoqing and Zhong Li turned their heads to look, and were stunned.

  I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes pushing a wheelchair with a polite and gentle smile on his face.

   There was an old man lying on the wheelchair, as if he was taking a nap.

  When Gu Jianlin saw these two people, he suffocated on the spot.

  Old man, big brother.

  I'm just pretending here...

   This chapter is 5,000 words. I am not sure when the next one will be. It may be added tomorrow... I have to take care of my body recently, and I will come back in two days to update the 4000 words...

  (end of this chapter)
