Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 178 Flattery Group
Yao Wei started the car and drove towards Yao County.

On the way, Lu Xian noticed that Ba Niang, who was sitting in front of him, was shivering all over and asked, "Why, are you cold?"

But Ba Niang said, “No… Lord, I’m a little excited.

“I have never felt so majestic, following the Lord on a vehicle like this, making people submit to me!

"Compared to the Lord's car, the old boss's car in the city is nothing compared to it!"

"..."

Lu Xian fell silent after hearing this, and for a moment he doubted whether agreeing to let this woman use his name to stir up trouble in Yao County would be a good thing for the people in the county.

He didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that the man who was previously chased by Ba Niang, Yao Zi, and Ba Yu would retort to Ba Niang: "This is the Lord's vehicle, and its majesty also belongs to the Lord. It has nothing to do with you!"

Lu Xian: "..."

6!

This guy is also a capable person. He was just at the bottom of the society before and didn't have the opportunity to display his talents. Now that he has the opportunity, he looks like he is desperate to grab it.

A flicker of anger flashed across Baniang's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, saying with a wry smile, "Yes! I got carried away. All that majesty belongs to the Lord, and has nothing to do with me. Lord, I was wrong. Please punish me."

Lu Xianxin waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to these flatterers.

He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't plan to live in Yao County permanently, otherwise, with this bunch of flatterers flattering him all the time, he was really afraid that he would lose his mind after a long time.

By then, I’m afraid I’ll lose my brain. Wouldn’t that be the end?
No wonder Yao Wei said that those bosses in the south could do such shortsighted things as forcing people to farm and only supplying the land to a few privileged people. It turns out that the root cause is here!
——Those bosses might have lost their minds due to the constant flattery.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Lu Xian said, "Before we get to Yao County, Ba Niang, can you tell me how many forces are left in the city and where are they?
"And your boss, what are his abilities? Besides the three of you, who else does he have under his command? What supplies and equipment does he have?"

Judging from the information we have now, the person in the county town who is related to the "ghost seeking life" is the leader of the three people, Baniang.

Therefore, when Lu Xian went to Yao County, he was mainly looking for the leader of Baniang and his group. As for other people and forces, he just needed to be careful and pay attention.

Ba Niang said, “Now, if we include our boss in the county town, everyone is divided into five groups.

"A group of people were in a building in the south of the city. The leader was called Ba Tong and he had only a few men. Two of his best fighters were also killed. They said it was the ghosts of the wronged who were seeking revenge.

"A group was at the train station in the northern suburbs. The leader was Yao Guang. There were six or seven of them, probably quite a lot, and they were quite powerful. The building there was the best preserved, and the space was large. They occupied it, and no one else dared to go there.

“No one there has ever heard of anyone being killed by an evil spirit. That’s why I think our boss is lying.

"The ghost even killed the old boss, so why would he be afraid of others? Why is that group special? Why doesn't the ghost attack them?"

Lu Xian glanced down at Ba Niang and had to admit that this woman was quite capable and could even analyze and judge based on the details.

And her analysis does make sense.

He watched calmly, and Ba Niang spoke with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered. She did not dare to look at Lu Xian, so she did not notice Lu Xian's gaze and continued to introduce:
“If there is still a group, there is a row of small bungalows in the east of the city. They are all there. There are not many people left. They may have dispersed by now.

"It's been rumored recently that the people killed the most by wronged spirits are their people. Their boss, Ba Yang, was also killed by wronged spirits.

"Before, we didn't know the inside story. We thought that Bayang had been the one who followed the old boss the closest. He was also the most diligent in hunting down the old man and the young boy that day. He deserved to be killed by the wronged spirit.

"Thinking about it now, I've finally realized that this is probably because Bayang is the easiest to control, and it's easiest to link him to the wronged souls seeking revenge, so our boss moved on him first.

"There's another group in the east, in a building. The leader is a woman named Bashi, who used to be the wife of the old boss.

“They were relatively peaceful and neutral, so the boss didn’t do much to them.

"I guess our boss wants to take Bashi in."

Bashi...

This name is really suitable...

There are indeed a lot of people with the surname Ba in this city!
Lu Xian asked: "What about your boss?"

"Our boss is Yao Zhuang, and he has a very powerful subordinate named Ah San," said Baniang. "That Ah San is closer to him than he is to me. I suspect that the murders and the framing of wronged souls were all done by Ah San."

“There are four other people, one was obtained from Batong, and three have been following him.

"If we talk about these things alone, it's nothing. It's just that the boss has a gun and has taken over the old boss's car, so no one can compete with him.

"That gun is quite old, and I don't know if it's rusted inside or what, but it keeps jamming, and no one else can fix it except him.

"So he relied on that gun, and no one dared to look down on him."

"Ah."

Lu Xian nodded and asked, "Where's the car?"

Ba Niang said, "The old boss's car is a small white car. It is far inferior to your car. There is no comparison at all!
"That car was in such bad shape, it kept shaking when I drove it, it felt like it would fall apart at any moment." "But I'd only seen it once, never been in it. There were only two gas stations in town, and they were almost out of gas. If it wasn't something urgent, we wouldn't dare use them."

"Now I can't use the car even if I want to. The person who knew how to drive was stabbed to death from behind when the old boss died and chaos broke out.

"The car is sitting there now, just occupied by the boss. No one knows how to drive it."

Lu Xian asked again: "Where is your boss?"

Ba Niang pointed ahead and said, "Just go straight in from here. There's a building there that's considered the best in the city. There's a basement underneath. Our boss and his family live in the basement."

Lu Xian asked: "What about the old boss? Where did he live before?"

Ba Niang said, "He also lives underground, but under a building in the city center. Legend has it that that place used to be where only the people in charge of the old world could live; no one else was qualified to live there."

"The gas station is not far away, and I think he lives there just to look after it.

“There used to be two gas stations in the city, and I heard there was a war going on there before, and somehow the other one blew up.

"Now there's only that one left, and the oil in the tank is almost empty. Every time we want to drive, we have to send someone in to scoop out oil. The old boss is very careful about that tank, fearing that someone else might steal the oil or cause a fight there to cause it to explode.

“In fact, all the other bosses want to move there now. Whoever moves there will prove that he is the most powerful in Yao County and can suppress the others.

"But they were all unsure, so no one moved in to occupy the place. Our boss was a little stronger, but he just occupied the car and guarded the gas station. He didn't dare move into the old boss's place."

"That's it..."

Lu Xian nodded, understanding. The place where the old boss lived should be the former Yao County "County Government Office".

The old boss was quite impressive and even lived in the county government office.

Or perhaps this "county government office" has become the recognized "administrative stronghold" in Yao County, and whoever occupies it will become the master of the city.

Compared with Tongzhou County, this place has another model...

He was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard the man being chased say, "You woman, you keep calling me your boss in front of the Lord, what do you mean?!

"You're still thinking about your boss! You're not truly submitting to the Lord! You're unreliable!"

This person was very tactful. He waited until Lu Xian finished listening to Ba Niang's "report" before jumping out and pointing at Ba Niang's nose and criticizing her.

Ba Niang's face turned pale, and she looked at Lu Xian hurriedly, wanting to explain something.

Fortunately, Lu Xian just waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Ba Niang, you show the way. Let's go to your boss first."

He didn't care about the flattery and intrigues of these people without any bottom line. He was not Ding Chunqiu.

Now he just wanted to go to Yao County as soon as possible to check on Chai Xin's situation, and then leave quickly and continue on his way.

For this matter, you can just go to the boss of Baniang. Catch the boss of Baniang, Yao Zhuang, and ask Yao Zhuang anything you want to know.

The only other place you need to go is the gas station.

There is not much oil left in the tank, but fortunately there is still some left so I can add it myself.

As for whether or not to use it in Yao County, he didn't bother to care, nor did he think it was necessary. Anyway, there were no drivers in the county who knew how to drive, so keeping the gasoline was a waste, so he might as well fill it up himself.

"Okay, I'll show you the way."

Baniang spoke quickly, reaffirming her firm stance and attitude. "Lord, that boss is no longer my boss. I only obey you, Lord! Please believe me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bayu and Yaozi quickly followed suit, "Me too!"

The person who was being hunted before followed closely behind and said, "I am the best!"

Lu Xian: "..."

He was too lazy to bother with these people and asked them to just show him the way.

Ba Niang sat on the roof of the car, pointed to the front and said, "Go straight. Whoever lives on the left or right will live there. After passing them, just walk a little further and you will reach your destination."

She was very familiar with Yao County, and there was nothing wrong with what she said. Even the person being hunted, who was determined to find trouble with Ba Niang and go against her, could not find any problem with the directions given by Ba Niang.

Seeing this, Lu Xian felt a little relieved.

Yao Wei could clearly hear Baniang's voice in the car and drove very calmly.

They all thought that they could reach their destination by just following Ba Niang's instructions and moving forward, but they didn't expect that the situation would change as soon as they entered the city.

Yao Zhuang, the eldest son of the Baniang family, was found naked.
