Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-two unpleasant episodes
bsp;When we left the hunter's house, it was already getting dark.
Qianye randomly found a tavern, and after having two drinks, he found out from the maid which nearby house was for sale.
An hour later, Qianye secured his first residence in Dark Blood City.
The price of this two-story building with its own yard is only five gold coins. It's so cheap because there's a ghetto right next to it. It was a concentration camp for all chaos, filth and sin. As you can imagine, that house would be visited by several thieves almost every night.
No one wants to live in a place like this permanently and will move out as soon as possible.
Qianye was not afraid of trouble. He went out to purchase a lot of parts, and then placed many traps at the corners of the courtyard, inside and outside the doors and windows of the main building. These seemingly simple gadgets are actually quite easy to use and will not kill people easily, but they will definitely cause physical pain. After finishing the arrangement, Qianye painted a line of large characters on the outer wall: There is a trap inside, you must bear the consequences.
After writing this, Qianye locked the courtyard door and prepared to go hunting in the wilderness.
The shortest route from here to the city gate is directly through the slums. Qianye ignored the hostile looks of those idle people and walked directly into an alley so narrow that he almost had to turn sideways to pass.
This alley is winding and winding, and the already narrow passage is filled with debris, making it even more crowded. It is almost impossible to step down in some places. The ground was littered with garbage and dirty running water.
The children, whose faces were so dirty that their true colors could not be seen, were chasing each other and running from one alley into another.
There are low shacks on both sides. Even a man of average height has to bend down and lower his head when entering and exiting. Some women would stand at the door, constantly waving to passers-by. For only ten coppers, they can sleep with you.
These scenes did not make Qianye disgusted, but instead made him feel extremely nostalgic. The environment where he lived and grew up was even worse than here. There are no roads in the airship cemetery. Every step you take is filled with various metal fragments or pieces. People live in large and small abandoned ship cabins and even pipelines.
Children never have the idea of playing games. Due to the lack of food, everyone usually has to conserve their energy. The only reason for fighting is to compete for food.
In Qianye's eyes, these narrow and deep alleys at least have the most basic order, and the children running around represent vitality.
Qianye finished walking this long narrow alley, and at the end was a small open space where seven or eight roads converged at the same time. He figured out the direction for a while and walked towards the highest and widest street. In almost every alleyway, two or three aboriginal people gathered with eager eyes. When they saw strangers passing by, they all cast their malicious eyes on them.
Qianye didn't squint his eyes and didn't deliberately avoid anything. The leather armor he wears, as well as the assault rifle on his back and the hatchet on his waist, all clearly indicate that this outsider is not easy to mess with.
But just as he passed an alley, a thin boy suddenly rushed out of it and hit him straight like a shell. How could Qianye let him bump into him? He just turned sideways and let him pass.
The boy jumped out of the air and immediately faced down, his lips and teeth hitting the mud. He struggled to get up, suddenly sucked hard through his extraordinarily large nose, and suddenly screamed: "The vampire's force gun! I smell it! I smell it!"
As the boy screamed, the entire slum boiled in an instant!
The Vampire's Force Gun is an extremely valuable asset. No matter who gets it, they can change their destiny!
Qianye was a little surprised. This little boy's nose was so good that he could actually smell the golden rose that he had wrapped heavily in his backpack. Moreover, what he was shouting about was not more common property such as gold coins, so he was obviously not talking casually. It seems that even in the slums, there are many people with talents, but most of them are destined to be buried for life.
Many people in ragged clothes slowly surrounded Qianye, and they all held primitive weapons such as wooden sticks and kitchen knives.
Qianye is helpless. Once this situation is formed, he will not stop until there is blood. He took off the assault rifle from his shoulder, pulled the bolt hard, and pointed the black muzzle at the crowd.
"Whoever dares to come here will die! Now, get out of the way!" Qianye shouted.
But his words had no deterrent effect. The mob that surrounded him did not flinch. Instead, after looking at each other for a while, they tightened the encirclement. They were breathing heavily, their eyes gradually became bloodshot, staring at Qianye's backpack with the light of greed and desire.
A skinny man suddenly made a move to pounce on Qianye. As soon as he moved, Qianye seemed to be able to see from behind. He suddenly turned around and the gun was already pointed at his forehead.
The man was stunned for a moment, but seeing that Qianye didn't fire, he lowered his body like a wild dog, and even let out a provocative low growl at Qianye.
Qianye knew something was wrong.
But maybe it was the thoughts that had been slowly gone before that had not completely dissipated, or maybe the corrupt smell with the smell of metal in the air was too familiar. Qianye's finger tightened the trigger little by little, but never pulled it. to the end.
The power of the 'Assaulter' was not only able to blow open the head of the crazy man opposite him, but the aftermath was enough to knock over other people on his left, and finally destroy the shack in the alleyway in front of him.
Seeing that Qianye hadn't fired yet, the man suddenly became bolder. Without hesitation, he jumped into the air and bit Qianye's throat fiercely!
Qianye hesitated for a moment, sighed inwardly, released the trigger, and changed the hand holding the gun from horizontal to vertical, preparing to knock the man unconscious with the handle of the gun. With the strength of his current level three combat soldier, he can rush out of this place even if he is forced to squeeze.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded nearby, and the man's head in front of Qianye suddenly exploded, and blood and brains splattered all over Qianye!
That’s what it’s like to be hit by a large-caliber bullet!
Qianye suddenly turned his head and saw a woman in well-dressed clothes appearing on the roof next to her. She was holding an obviously modified gunpowder rifle in one hand, and the particularly thick muzzle was emitting light white smoke. .
Her muzzle moved slightly and was already aimed at the little boy with a particularly big nose. She sneered: "Go to hell, you little bad guy!"
"Wait a minute!" Qianye's voice and gunfire sounded at the same time.
The huge recoil caused the woman's plump upper body to tilt back slightly, and the little boy's head exploded together with half of his upper body.
The mob suddenly panicked, and some people turned around and ran away. However, most of them were aroused with ferocity. Someone immediately rushed forward with a scream, and countless hands aimed at the shoulder straps of Qianye's backpack and grabbed them. At the same time, in the chaos, two short blades polished with scrap steel stabbed Qianye's lower back.
These mobs are weak and vulnerable, but their attacks are absolutely vicious, and they don't take their own lives seriously at all.
Qianye sighed, and with a flip of his hand, the backs of the two blades were accurately grasped in his hands. The two thugs tried their best to draw or stab the knives, but the blades remained motionless as if they were welded.
But at this moment, a smoking metal block suddenly flew over in the air. It was a grenade!
Qianye cursed in his heart and jumped up helplessly, climbed over the two-story shack, landed on the street on the other side, and immediately fell to the ground.
With a bang, the two mobs were the first to bear the brunt. Their bodies flew high into the sky, and several severed arms and legs were thrown up. The shock wave destroyed the surrounding shacks, and countless pieces of wood flew past Qianye's back, causing his skin to ache.
This is a powerful military offensive grenade! Qianye came to a conclusion instantly from the aftermath of the unexpectedly powerful explosion. This is a powerful tool used to deal with lower-level dark races. Even formal vampire warriors will be injured if they are affected!
If Qianye thought it was just an ordinary grenade and did not dodge with all his strength, he would have been seriously injured by this indiscriminate attack.
He secretly scolded the woman for being ruthless. This kind of weapon that could only be used in the field was actually used directly in the city!
The mob knocked over a dozen people at once, and the rest were finally frightened and ran away crawling on the ground.
There was a commotion in the distant neighborhood, and soon several fully armed expeditionary force soldiers rushed over.
When they saw the woman standing on the roof, they were startled, and their attitude immediately became respectful, and asked: "Miss Yingnan, what is going on? You seem to have used a weapon that should not be used in the city. ."
The young woman sneered and said: "It's no big deal. There are some guys here who want to rob members of our Hunter Family. I killed a few of them conveniently so that they would remember it for a long time. As for the offensive grenade, it was It accidentally fell and it has nothing to do with me."
The leader of the expeditionary force, wearing a corporal's epaulette, actually nodded, turned around and said to his companions: "We've figured it out. Someone hid a grenade here and accidentally exploded. Okay, let's close the team!"
A few expeditionary soldiers actually turned around and left. There were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, and they didn't seem to see them at all.
Seeing this scene, Qianye just remained silent. When he was in Red Scorpion, he encountered death indicators several times, but that was for the local nobles. He had often heard about this situation from veterans who had served in regular legions, but this was the first time he had experienced it personally.
At this time, the young woman jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Qianye. She looked him up and down, then showed something in her palm and said, "Follow me! Let's find someone." Place to have a drink.”
A moment later, Qianye and her sat down in a bar.
The reason why Qianye followed her here was because she showed a four-star hunter badge. In order to obtain a four-star hunter, in addition to accumulating corresponding merits, one must have at least level four strength.
Until now, Qianye had the opportunity to observe her carefully.
This is a quite young girl, about 20 years old, wearing dark brown and dark gray armor all over her body. Judging from the material, it should be the skin of some kind of ferocious beast, with key parts made of metal. This armor was of course several orders of magnitude stronger than Qianye's, and it fit extremely well on the girl. It was obviously either custom-made or specially adjusted.
She has a face that is both heroic and wild, very beautiful. There was a small scar on her forehead. Not only did it not damage her appearance, it actually added a bit of unruly charm when she turned her head and raised her eyes.
The girl is very tall, only slightly shorter than Qianye. Her figure is extremely hot, and she seems to be full of vitality and strength that can overflow at any time. She has dark brown hair, also tied into a ponytail.
She leaned forward, seemingly unaware that her **** were touching the edge of the table.
The girl knocked on the table with the boldness of a well-informed veteran, and said to Qianye: "My name is Yu Yingnan. You can also call me Yingnan, or male sister is better... ..But, boy, are you going to drink this thing that is as light as plain water?”
