Chapter 120: Keep alive
Half an hour later.

In Wuxue Town.

A steamship from Jinling slowly moored at the Wuxue Town Pier, and a man and a woman walked out of the most "honorable" first-class cabin.

The man was carrying a large wooden box on his back and holding a single-shot rifle in his hand.

The woman was carrying a long knife on her back, a pistol of unknown model on her waist, and a bunch of grenades slung across her shoulders.

The two men got off the boat one after another. After stepping onto the ground, the man took a deep breath and said:
"I finally smell the smell of cooking smoke. I've been feeling really suffocated these past few days."

"I never thought this 1,000-kilometer waterway was so difficult to travel before. I even thought the boat was going too fast."

"Now, I've had enough of the stench in the cabin."

"Jixing, do you really not feel anything at all? Aren't you holy blood people supposed to be more sensitive to smells?"

Hearing his words, the woman named Ji Xing rolled her eyes and then said:
"Unlike you, Master Bai Xu, I have no right to complain."

"I am just an ordinary guard. I can only do whatever my employer tells me to do."

"Can I jump off the ship just because the smell in the cabin is bad?"

".You might actually be able to do that."

The man named Bai Xu laughed and said jokingly:

"With the speed of the steamer, you can definitely run along the shore to catch up - maybe even get here in advance to wait for me."

"After all, you are a source of blood. Even in the Holy Blood Hall, you are still a leader, right?"

"I no longer belong to the Holy Blood Temple."

Ji Xing pursed his lips and said:
"I suggest you don't talk too much to me. I don't have any good feelings towards you studs from the Flower City."

"Like I said, you are the employer and I am the escort, that's all our relationship is."

"Do you still expect me to follow you back to the Flower City and bear you children just because of your sweet words?"

".I do think so."

Bai Xu said seriously:

"Flowers are not as bad as you think. At least there are still many normal people like me there."

"The banshee, the seedbed, and the dungeon are just rumors from the outside world."

"We have our own rules. At least I myself will never do the things you hate."

"Just shut up now. I can't help but want to give you a slap in the face. Think about whether you can handle it."

After he finished speaking, Bai Xu shut up tactfully.

He secretly glanced at the woman next to him and felt secretly sorry for her.

harm.

This was actually a nice woman.

Although he has a sharp tongue, he has a pretty good personality.

Cheerful, tenacious, and optimistic.

This is a very rare quality in this world, and she is also a source blood.
If you can get it
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to give her medicine.

Bai Xu sighed regretfully, then said:
"Then finish your task first - we have to find the merchants who came here earlier and deliver the goods to them."

"Then, we will go with them to the new mission location, and you will be responsible for the escort."

"Once you arrive at the place, your mission will be completed."

"When you return to Huadu, someone will pay you."

". Can't we just settle it in Jinling? I really don't want to go to that disgusting place again."

"You'd better watch your mouth."

Bai Xu spread his hands helplessly and said:

"I can pretend you never said that, but if you say this in front of the superiors in Huadu, even if you are an Origin Blood, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out alive from there."

"You think you're fast enough, but facing the fire of the Battle Banshee, you can't even run a hundred meters."

".That also requires you to be able to aim at me."

Ji Xing still looked nonchalant, and Bai Xu was too lazy to waste words, so he skipped the topic and said:
"Let's go, I know where they are staying."

"These lazy bastards, they should have come to the dock to greet us earlier. Maybe they'll get hooked again."

"I've long said that we shouldn't let these low-class studs deliver the drugs. They might have already sucked up all the drugs before they even get to you."

"Next time I return to Huadu, I must give the Queen a serious advice."

"Your queen doesn't care about this kind of thing. She's probably counting the days until the bloody days are over."

".You are being a little too vicious."

Bai Xu glared at Ji Xing in dissatisfaction, and the latter laughed and stopped talking. The two walked towards Wuxue Town one after the other, but as they walked, Ji Xing's expression suddenly became serious.

Her left hand was on the pistol at her waist, and her right hand was slightly raised, as if ready to draw her knife at any time.

Bai Xu noticed her change and asked with some confusion:
"what's the situation?"

Ji Xing frowned and asked back:
"Can't you smell it? This is not the smoke you think it is."

"Something is burning. It smells like a corpse, and it also has a bit of that disgusting drug smell of a stallion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xu's expression instantly became serious.

He clenched the single-shot rifle in his hand and asked in a serious tone:
"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Ji Xing pulled out the pistol from his waist and quietly hid it under his cloak.

Bai Xu quickened his pace and hurried towards the location he had received earlier.

He walked forward and asked:
"You mean, our people are dead and burned?"

"It's possible."

Ji Xing scanned the surroundings, trying to find potential enemies, but it was obvious that there was no other threat here except for the few city defense members in Wuxue Town who had little combat effectiveness.

Could it be that the people from Wuxue Town killed the caravan members from Huadu?
This seems...too incredible.

Wuxue Town is originally a small town that makes a living by serving businessmen. What reasons do they have and why do they do this?
The same question lingered in Bai Xu's mind, and when the two turned the last corner of the alley, Bai Xu suddenly froze in place.

The house that had been set on fire was still burning, and through the flames, one could vaguely see the bodies roasted by the flames in the house.

This is definitely the stud that arrived here early.

They are dead?!
Bai Xu looked in shock at the city defense team members who were busy "adding firewood" on the side. Ji Xing had already drawn the long sword on his back and stood in front of Bai Xu.

"What are you doing!?"

"These are our people, and this is the house we rented!"

Bai Xu glared at Zhao He, who was in the lead. The latter was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that something was wrong.

It’s over.

The real boss really showed up!

He took a step back in fear, subconsciously wanting to escape.

But in a flash he realized that there was no way he could escape.

According to the Chinese Army of Huangshi City, this house is related to Huadu.

There is no doubt that the people coming now are also from Huadu!

They may not be stronger than the Chinese army, but they are definitely not someone we can afford to offend!
Thinking of this, Bai Xu forced himself to calm down, and then said:
"We are under the orders of the Huaxia Army to burn this house, along with the bodies inside."

"If this infringes on your interests, you can communicate with the Huaxia Army. They are in Huangshi City."

Chinese Army?
This unfamiliar name made Bai Xu stunned for a moment, but after hearing the three words "Huangshi City", he reacted instantly.

It's them!
The team that just defeated the joint attack of the Mechanicus and the Sanguinarians!
What are you doing? !

How could they get involved in my affairs?
Is this murder to silence the witnesses?
impossible!
Bai Xu gave Ji Xing a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao He with a threatening attitude.

At a short distance, her movements were so fast that they were almost invisible.

And it was this step that revealed her identity to everyone.

Holy Blood!
No one dared to act rashly. Bai Xu took a deep breath and asked:
"What are they doing here? Why are they burning our warehouse?"

Zhao He remembered what Chen Jian had said, so he thought for a moment, and then told him, half true and half false, what Chen Jian and his group had done after they came here.

Track the monster, find clues, find the Huadu merchant, and take action without hesitation
He did not deliberately exaggerate the combat effectiveness of Chen Jian's team, but instead deliberately concealed a series of key details including the drone.

But even so, Bai Xu still felt his scalp tingling, while Ji Xing next to him was shocked.

They're that fast?!

Such an enemy might be difficult to deal with.
She turned to look at Bai Xu, whose expression had turned completely cold.

After confirming that Chen Jian's team only had four people, he gave Ji Xing an order without hesitation:

"I'll tell you where!"

"Catch them up at all costs!"

"No matter what they are going to do, we must stop them!"

"Remember, leave someone alive!"

"I want to personally find out why they are our enemy!"
