Fortunately, everyone had some cores on them in case of emergency. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to enter the gathering place.
The Qingyang Mountain colony was very large. No one had counted the exact number of people, and no one could count them. Some said that there were millions of people, while others said that the population had long exceeded ten million. Anyway, it was very large, and they were not worried about bumping into the greasy man.
After letting everyone go back to rest, the middle-aged man returned to the simple street. Someone greeted the middle-aged man," Owl! The harvest this time must be quite good!”
"It's alright." Owl smiled and said.
He absolutely could not reveal the fact that most of his team members had been ambushed and killed. Otherwise, if others found out that the team was on the verge of collapse, they would not even know when, where, or how they had died.
There were adventurer organizations, adventurer guilds, associations, and adventurer halls in the encampment. There were clear rules in the encampment that stated that adventurer teams enjoyed a certain level of protection and that conflicts between adventurer teams were not allowed. However, these conditions did not apply outside the encampment.
However, this was the apocalypse, after all. Even if someone wanted to harm Owl's adventurer team, the Adventurer's Association would turn a blind eye.
He returned home and took a shower. This was probably one of the few benefits of the apocalypse. Some of the scarce resources had become less scarce after decades of population reduction.
Owl had to go to the eight people's houses first to collect their things. If he hadn't registered to hunt monsters in the Adventurer's Association and had the deterrence of the Adventurer's Association, the house would have been occupied by someone long ago.
The colony was divided into three areas, which were equivalent to three rings. The outermost area was the ordinary people and a small number of patrolling soldiers. Most of these people were unable or unwilling to face the threat of death outside. They were doing some hard and tiring work in the colony, and the pay was only enough to maintain the most basic life.
The second floor was also the floor with the most human traffic and the greatest difference. There were all kinds of shops here. Adventurer teams bought and sold weapons, ammunition, vehicles, food, and some workers and soldiers who were not as hard as the people outside. At the same time, there were also some more powerful people here.
The innermost level was also a level that ordinary people could hardly enter. It was where the higher-ups of the colony lived. There were also many research facilities here. It was rumored that an apostle was locked in the innermost level of the Qingyang Mountain colony.
The Qingyang Mountain colony was one of the larger colonies. The various rules and regulations were relatively complete. Otherwise, the colony would not have developed so much.
In some of the weaker colonies, there were countless cases of cannibalism, scheming, and harming people. The higher-ups did not care about the situation below at all.
When he came back, Owl was accompanied by a little girl. He did not look very good.
He had never thought that one of them would have a younger sister. When he first established his adventurer team, one of the most basic rules was to be alone. Otherwise, he would not have accepted a weirdo like Aiya.
Obviously, he had been deceived.
"Bastard, you still have a sister to protect us.”The weather wasn't very good, and a gentle breeze blew past.
He lived on the second floor. His adventurer team was quite strong, and most of his members lived on the second floor.
The first floor was crowded and crowded. The people in the patrol team were not willing to go to the first floor to inspect the situation. Everyone wanted to live in a better environment.
He looked at the little girl. Her hair was long and messy. Her thin body was yellow and her hair covered one of her eyes. He had seen it just now. That eye was blind.
He did not feel sympathy for the little girl. In fact, this was what made him feel at ease.
The safety of the second level was only relative to the first level. If the children did not look like this, there would definitely be people who would take the risk to kidnap them. In the apocalypse, there was no shortage of people with disgusting hobbies.
"I won't abandon you, but our current situation isn't good either.”Owl said.
Although he was troubled, he was not a good person, but he was a loyal person. The other party died to protect them, so he would not leave his sister behind.
After being chased by the Swamp Crocodiles for an entire day, and when they came back, they had been tricked by that damn fatty. They were already running out of ammunition.
The rewards from this trip had all been snatched away. The monsters within a few hundred miles had all been summoned by the apostles. The team was no longer as composed as before. He did not dare to bring the rest of the team to take advantage of the situation again.
After returning home, he let the little girl sit on the sofa to rest. Owl returned to the bedroom and pulled out a box from the secret compartment under the bed.
The box was stuck very deep. Even Owl had to use a lot of strength to pull the box out. His face was red and the veins on his arms were bulging.
Inside were all his assets.
In the apocalypse, no one was stupid. They would not carry all their valuable things with them. They took off the pocket on their waist and there were cores inside.
These cores added together could allow him to live peacefully in the colony for another ten years, but they belonged to his dead companions, so he could not take them for himself.
It was their wish to use it to buy new equipment and weapons. Otherwise, he would not be able to find these things in their house.
He put all the cores into the box and pushed them in with all his strength.
He then thought about what to do next. The cores left behind by the eight people were enough to buy weapons and bullets. However, what he was most concerned about was the problem of revenge.
The adventurer team had been established for five to six years. They had stayed around for a long time, and they still had deep friendships with each other. He couldn't just let it go.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!" Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Owl walked out of the bedroom. The little girl looked at the door blankly.”
"It's me." It was the old master's voice.
He opened the door.
The old man leaned against the wall with one hand and panted." Bad news."”
Owl's heart sank." What happened?"”
"It seems like someone is asking about us." The old man walked into the house and was not surprised by the little girl's existence. He did not even look at her. It was none of his business what Owl's hobbies were.
He picked up the water bottle on the table and drank some water before saying," There's a crazy girl, an old man, and a one-eyed man. Several members of this adventurer team died.”
"He must be talking about us. That damn fat pig wants to kill us all.”the old man said.
Owl frowned. He had thought that the other party had just made a windfall. When he and the old man retreated, they did not send anyone to kill them.
"Gather the people and split up. We'll go to the first level to discuss.”
The first level was a chaotic mess, so no one would notice.
Someone was asking about them, and it was after they had just been attacked. This situation had to be handled carefully.
The old man nodded and went to inform the others.
"Follow me." Owl said to the little girl.
The little girl stood up expressionlessly and followed behind him.
Originally, he only wanted to slowly make long-term plans. He did not expect such an emergency to occur. Who was asking about them? What was his motive?
With a belly full of doubts, Owl brought the little girl to the first floor. They passed through the dirty and disgusting path, ignored the shouts of two scantily dressed street girls, and walked into a small bar.
There were not many people in the deserted bar. It was not time to get off work yet.
No matter who it was or why they were looking for them, this was a problem. Those who could cause a commotion on the second level must have some strength. If it was before, he might not be particularly afraid, but now they were powerless to deal with this problem.
After a while, a few more people came into the bar. The ponytail girl and Aiya deliberately made themselves ugly. In this place, being pretty was a crime.
"You know the situation. Someone is asking about us, but we don't know their background. What do you think?”
"Kill them back!" Aiya was the first to speak, but her words were basically ignored.
"I think it should be that damned fatty's men. I know all the adventurer teams around us, and he's not from our area. To be able to find us in such a short time, the reward should be about the same as our harvest, right? Why did he spend so much effort?”the ponytailed girl said.
"It's not him. The patrol team is investigating us.”Chen Zheng shook his head.
" What?!" The few of them said in surprise.
Patrol team? Why were they looking for them?
Owl was silent. Such a huge change caught him off guard.
The most important thing now was what to do in the future.
As he thought about it, the figure of the mobilized soldiers appeared in his mind.
The three great armies sounded mysterious and powerful. They would definitely come into contact with the colony in the future, but he had come into contact with the people of the Evian Army before the colony did.
The reason why he was certain that the Evey Army had not come into contact with the colony base was because of the questions Yi Luo had asked. Those were all basic common sense.
He had this thought before, and now these events had confirmed it. He had to seize this opportunity to have a deeper contact with the Evian Army.
This was also the opportunity for him to get out of his predicament and even take revenge.
