Fire Monster

Chapter 75: Sinners (th update, please subscribe)
Outside the headquarters of the Fenwei Camp, Zhao Guanshan decisively put on new level three imperial seal armor, level three imperial seal helmet, and level three imperial seal boots. The set that Li Chun had given him before was already scarred and its protective ability was greatly reduced.

And here, even in the camp of Fenwei Camp, there is a great chance of being attacked and assassinated by evil spirits.

After everything was packed, he asked the soldiers at the camp entrance about the location of the Eighth Squad, then strode out with his broadsword in hand.

This small stronghold is generally circular in shape.

The outer perimeter is a city wall, and under the wall is the temporary garrison of several guest troops, including the headquarters of the Fenwei Camp.

Further inland is a circle of railway tracks around the city, patrolled by armed patrol vehicles day and night.

Across this ring railway track is an area with a diameter of about one kilometer, which is crowded with a large number of second-level imperial barracks.

Every hundred meters or so inside, there is a radial, two-meter-wide path leading directly to the ring railway, so although it looks crowded, it is actually quite convenient for assembly and evacuation.

Zhao Guanshan walked along a radial path, observing the road signs. When he reached the end, he reached the center of the area, where a roundabout had actually been built.

Surrounding the island is a circle of simple, first-class imperial-printed cabins that can only be seen in the slums of Linjiang Prefecture. They are very orderly, like a circle of small breads lined up in a circle.

In the center of the island is a three-level imperially-sealed house covering an area of ​​at least one thousand square meters. It is divided into three floors, or possibly four floors, and there is probably another floor underground.

This third-level imperially-sealed house actually still had a tattered sign hanging on it that was so corroded that it was almost unrecognizable.

"Ms. Wang Er? Wangyue Tower? There's actually a young lady here to chat with."

Zhao Guanshan was greatly surprised, but he also expressed his understanding.

In addition, the circle of first-level imperial seal huts around the island looked more like stalls, although most of them were closed.

In this kind of street stall ecosystem, aren't daily necessities distributed once every five days?

"Master, do you want to play?"

A furry little head suddenly popped out from a small imperial seal house.

Zhao Guanshan didn't want to be shocked, but he couldn't control himself.

She looked like a teenage girl, wearing a tattered set of third-level imperial seal armor, with her hair all tangled up like a pile of shit. On her neck and face, strange, densely packed festering blisters could be vaguely seen. She opened the door a little, trying hard to let Zhao Guanshan see her little bun...

What the hell!

Zhao Guanshan frowned slightly, looked around, and walked over.

"You live here?"

"No, Junye, I live over there. I come here every day to solicit customers, and I can only stay here until the rooster crows. Junye, do you want to play? I have a sister, and she is normal."

The girl didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Guanshan, but spoke in a low and skillful voice. Obviously, she was only responsible for attracting customers.

"Why do you want to stay here? Can't you go back to Linjiang Mansion?"

Zhao Guanshan was very shocked. He had always had a good impression of the Taoist Palace, the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Provincial Administration Bureau. How come such a thing happened outside of Linjiang Prefecture!
"General, please understand that we are all descendants of criminals and have no right to return to Linjiang Prefecture."

"Sinful people?"

Hearing this word, Zhao Guanshan suddenly understood.

The so-called criminals are those who did not study hard in school, were neither good at literature nor martial arts, and failed to pass the final examination. They would then be immediately forced to be sent to the defense line of the Imperial Seal Great Wall.

There is another type of criminal who refuses to get married no matter what. After the Governor has tried to persuade them three times without success, they are directly exiled to the Imperial Seal Great Wall.

The last type of criminal is those who committed serious crimes in Linjiang Prefecture and will also be exiled.

All I can say is that there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

As long as these criminals are alive, they will always get married and occasionally give birth to offspring. However, since they most likely did not take the marrow cleansing liquid during pregnancy, the offspring they gave birth to will either be deformed or have impure blood, and will not be qualified to return to Linjiang Prefecture at all.

He couldn't control this matter, nor did he want to control it, because in a sense, this was also a means for the Taoist Palace to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

See? This is the consequence of not studying hard, not wanting to shoulder social responsibilities, and being lawless and doing bad things!

"Sir, do you want to play?"

The girl was still persevering. Zhao Guanshan shook his head, threw down a piece of energy storage spirit stone, a portion of food and a bottle of water, then turned and left.

After a while, he successfully found the base of the Eighth Squad. There was no obvious building division here. There were only a row of second-level imperial barracks, a total of five, all marked in a very obvious position outside the barracks.

However, the doors of these five houses were all locked, so Zhao Guanshan could only try one by one using his identity badge.

As a result, the doors of four rooms could not be opened, which meant that either they were fully occupied or keys had been set in advance.

Only the fifth imperial barracks could be opened with the identity badge. But the moment the door was opened, a foul and rotten smell came towards us like a demon pouncing on its prey. If you didn't know, you would think there was a den of ghouls living here.

Zhao Guanshan frowned slightly, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable as he was used to it.

After pausing for a few seconds at the door, he lowered his head and walked into the barracks. It was very dark inside because there were no windows.

However, the space is not small, about one hundred square meters, about three meters high, and half of it is underground.

There were no living people in the room, nor any beds. The floor and walls were covered with black, dried blood stains, much like graffiti.

Many people must have died here, and some of them degenerated before dying and were then killed.

In short, the pollution in this barracks is even higher than that in the open area outside.

"not bad."

Zhao Guanshan nodded slightly, very satisfied with the place.

Next, he put down his broadsword and began to clean up all the filth and debris in the room, even shoveling away the black bloodstains on the walls and the floor.

Although this would slightly damage the psychic circuit of the room, he was not an ordinary martial arts apprentice and could just repair it after it was destroyed.

The key is to clean up all the solid pollution sources in the barracks first.

It is worth mentioning that a lot of money was spent on building this barracks.

The outer layer is built with raw stones, while the inner layer is rammed earth. The low-lying materials are abundant, and the layout and routing of the psychic circuits are also quite ingenious.

So at first, Zhao Guanshan just wanted to remove those solid pollution sources, but as he removed more and more, he became more and more appreciative of the layout of the psychic circuits inside, so he removed more and more. When he saw the completely exposed psychic circuits, he was simply fascinated. He even squatted on the ground and calculated frantically without caring about his image. Every time he got a result, he would dance with excitement, as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit.

Although this barracks is also a second-level imperially-sealed house, its layout level can definitely kill Zhao Guanshan in seconds. It is as if he has met a famous teacher and can communicate and learn from him across time and space.

Before he knew it, when Zhao Guanshan finally came to his senses, he found that the sky had become completely dark. He could hear footsteps in the distance. The Eighth Team had returned from the battlefield.

"Something's happening, there's a thief in the house!"

With just a shout and the lighting of a bright imperial oil lamp, Zhao Guanshan was surrounded by a dozen fully armed men.

Zhao Guanshan hurriedly shouted to prove his innocence.

"Misunderstanding, I am a martial arts apprentice who has come to report to the Eighth Squad. My name is Zhao Guanshan. May I ask where Captain Liu Yuwei is?"

Hearing this, the group of big men were slightly startled and each took two steps back.

Then, someone outside spoke.

"A new martial arts apprentice?"

The voice was very rough and a little hoarse, and then a burly man, oh, a burly girl came in with a strong build. Her physique was at least comparable to Yang Mao's. She was wearing armor, with a hideous mask that she had not removed, and her body was covered in devil blood and flesh. She was full of murderous aura, just like a blood pagoda in purgatory.

She looked around with her majestic eyes, and suddenly cursed: "Fuck, are you just a rat who can only dig holes?"

This remark caused a group of people to laugh strangely.

"What the hell! Go back and rest. We have a fierce battle tomorrow morning!" The big and burly girl yelled angrily. She was really moody.

Everyone was so scared that they ran away in shame.

Zhao Guanshan was stunned, but quickly showed enough docility. He originally thought that Liu Yuwei, the captain of the eighth team, was at least a heroic and domineering sister. He never thought that this sister was too domineering. She was at least at the level of a demon-slaying and tiger-taming sister.

But after a brief silence, Liu Yuwei suddenly spoke calmly, "Can you arrange for the repair of the second-level imperial seal house?"

Zhao Guanshan nodded, a little surprised.

This Miss Yu is not as rough as she looks.

"Go ahead. Once it's repaired, you can live here. But hurry up, because you have to leave with the team tomorrow. Wait, you can use a broadsword?"

Zhao Guanshan continued to nod.

"How is it used?"

"It's okay." Zhao Guanshan was not sure.

"Not bad? Okay, tomorrow you will go to the second group as the main attacker."

After saying that, Liu Yuwei turned around and left decisively.
