Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 44 Chamber of Commerce

The scavengers came in a modified pickup truck.

The entire body of the truck was equipped with armor of different specifications and colors. There were many bullet holes on the armor.

The original cargo space at the rear was a small compartment supported by steel bars and tent cloth.

This is very much the style of scavengers.

This is the vehicle used by scavengers to escape in the wilderness.

Li Yelai could even smell a faint smell of blood.

But he didn't care, but carried a black umbrella and sat in the truck compartment with his boss.

There were three scavengers sitting beside and opposite him, staring at him.

Seeing Li Yelai carrying a big black umbrella, the fierce-faced strong man sitting opposite frowned.

He keenly realized that this might be a weapon.

However, the size is a bit too big, and the umbrella handle is slender, not like a firearm.

Could it be that this is hiding a cold weapon? A knife hidden inside?

This is very much the style of scavengers.

Some scavengers who can't afford a gun can only use a knife to boost their courage.

So, the fierce-faced sturdy man glanced at Li Yelai and laughed mockingly. Hiding weapons in front of scavengers is really like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong.

Moreover, do you think it's safe to carry weapons?

Even in the giant city where guns are banned, they have ways to bring guns in.

Thinking in his heart, the fierce-faced sturdy man knocked on the armored car and signaled to drive.

For the boss next to Li Yelai, the only good news now is that the pickup truck did not drive out of the city.

This made the boss feel relieved. If he went out of the city, his life safety would really be unprotected.

In the giant city, scavengers generally dare not kill people. The Security Department keeps a close eye on them.

But even so, you can't provoke scavengers at will.

Their overall strength is uneven. There are indeed quite a few gangsters, but there are also thugs who have seen blood and are real desperate people!

Once you provoke them, you will be in danger even if you don't leave the giant city.

Thinking of this, the boss was a little scared.

The courage he had mentioned before was dissipating a little at this moment.

Li Yelai whispered, "Boss, you really didn't take anything from them, did you?"

"We've known each other for so long, don't you believe me?" The boss was furious.

Li Yelai was speechless for a moment. They had known each other for a long time, more than four years.

He found this job when he was nineteen. A guaranteed one thousand Jucheng coins a month was considered good in the old city.

But the boss was indeed stingy, just like Li Yelai. It would be unlike him if he didn't take the opportunity.

The boss whispered, "There was no chance to take it! At that time, I didn't know which side even brought out the machine guns. I didn't dare to get close at all and hid far away. I could only see them frantically snatching something, and then after a long time, the scavengers' convoy came. Naturally, I had to leave."

"What you said had better be true!" The fierce-faced strong man grinned, and his already ferocious face looked even more terrifying: "Otherwise, you will be unlucky!"

Li Yelai nodded slightly in his heart. It would be best if the boss didn't take it.

It would be terrible if he accidentally got involved in the taboo.

Li Yelai thought to himself, and his hand silently pressed the communicator hidden under his sleeve.

He didn't need to speak, the East City branch on the other side of the communicator would understand what happened to him through the conversation just now. And provide relevant support.

If necessary, the liaison officer will also apply for support from the city defense army or the iron guard.

On the other side, in the processing team of the West City branch.

Someone frowned: "The night general of the East City branch? How did he, a processor from the East City, break into our West City? Crossing the giant city to break in, right?"

From this perspective, this is indeed ridiculous. The giant city has a large population and a large area.

The processing department has allocated four branches to manage the urban areas in four directions.

For example, the East City branch manages the East Old City District, the East Ring City District and the East New City District. The main urban area is managed by the headquarters.

Generally speaking, members of other branches will not participate in the mission.

The last time the branches cooperated was because of the Fantasy Band incident.

So, when they learned that a handler from the East City District suddenly got involved, this group of West City handlers was a little confused.

Is there anyone who barges in like you?

Crossing the giant city, passing through the headquarters, and running to the West City District, right?

"No, this is indeed an accident. He seems to be working in an antique shop of a certain buyer, and happened to encounter this incident. Now he has been taken away by a group of scavengers." A handler looked strange: "Is this bad luck? Or is it lucky?"

"Let's not talk about luck or bad luck. How strong is this 'Night General'? Will it disrupt our plan or even drag us down?" The handler who spoke first frowned and said: "According to our investigation, this chamber of commerce is connected with wild psychics outside the giant city. If there is a conflict, we have to support him."

For the team that has been investigating for a while, Li Yelai's participation is likely to disrupt their plans.

"Let me check. Ye Jiang is a newcomer. He is from the Universal Path and has only been in the East City Branch for two months. When he first awakened, he killed the wanted criminal Victim Skinner. We can't find out what happened afterwards. We don't have enough authority yet and need to communicate with the East City Branch. Currently, we only know that he has successfully awakened twice." A handler replied, "Awakened twice within two months. He is very talented. Moreover, he killed the Victim during his first awakening. His combat power is not weak!"

"A team from the East City branch, the former champion team?"

The head handler's brows relaxed slightly: "In the last incident, they suppressed the Black Prison of the East City branch and did not let a taboo escape. But the losses were extremely heavy, with nearly half of the personnel reduced. To be able to survive in that kind of battlefield, this Night General should still have some strength. What did the East City branch say?"

"The East City branch said that the current Night General has no chance to contact, and hopes that we will pay attention to his safety. He also said something strange. 'This overwhelming wealth will be your turn'"

"What do you mean?"

The vehicle drove for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that the vehicle arrived at the destination.

When Li Yelai and the boss got off the car, they saw a factory building located in the northwest old city.

These factories cover a large area, and there are many modified vehicles parked around them, and even fully armed trucks.

In front of the door of this factory building, there is a sign.

Red Dart Chamber of Commerce.

Yes, the Chamber of Commerce.

Those scavengers are members of this chamber of commerce, or guards of the caravan under this chamber of commerce.

As mentioned before, in the wilderness, the identities of gathering places, caravans, scavengers, and bandits can be changed at will.

This is the case with the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce. They control a scavenger gathering place in the wilderness. At the same time, they are also responsible for escorting caravans or entering abandoned cities to scavenge.

When necessary, they will also transform into bandits. To attack other scavengers or caravans.

This Red Dart Chamber of Commerce is also a relatively large chamber of commerce in Border City No. 3.

If it were not too dangerous and had to leave the giant city, Li Yelai might have joined this kind of chamber of commerce a few years ago and become a scavenger who licked blood on the tip of a knife.

Of course, even with such a huge force, in the giant city, their Red Dart Chamber of Commerce has to put away their fangs and show as much friendliness as possible.

The boss has some cooperation with them and often goes to their trading points outside the city to purchase items.

At this moment, as he got off the car, Li Yelai saw the members of this chamber of commerce, including gangsters with open clothes showing tattoos and holding knives. There are also young women wearing revealing clothes and breathing smoke. Some were strong men with a faint smell of blood.

Some people saw Li Yelai getting off the car with a big black umbrella and couldn't help laughing. Some women, even men, winked at Li Yelai.

"Boss, do you usually trade with them?" Li Yelai asked.

"They have a lot of goods, and some rich businessmen are sponsoring them, so the source is stable." The boss reminded him, "Don't talk too much, maybe you will buy them in the future, don't offend them."

Li Yelai naturally followed the advice, carrying a black umbrella and following the fierce-looking strong man, and walked into the factory with the boss.

At this moment, there were many people in the factory.

They were holding various weapons in their hands, but they didn't show their guns directly.

They looked at Li Yelai and the boss with cold eyes, which made the boss's face even uglier. But he kept warning Li Yelai: "Don't be impulsive, don't talk."

At this time, the fierce-faced strong man asked: "I have brought the people from East City. Have you found everyone else?"

"No, one from North City ran away directly, but he couldn't run far." A woman with a hideous scar on her face sneered and responded: "Dare to take our goods, he and his family will know the consequences!"

"Where are the others?"

"They are all here, except for the one you brought." The scarred woman looked at the boss and Li Yelai.

She was a little surprised when she saw Li Yelai's big black umbrella, but then she smiled and said: "Take them in first. If this kid makes trouble later, don't kill him directly, but keep him for me. Be careful not to hurt his face."

There was even a giggling voice on the side.

"Boy, Scar Sister likes you. Why don't you thank Scar Sister?"

"You kid has risen to the top overnight, why don't you stay in the Chamber of Commerce? Hahaha!"

They laughed wantonly, their words full of malice.

The boss's face became even uglier, and he whispered to Li Yelai: "We are innocent, nothing will happen, nothing will happen."

Li Yelai didn't really care about this, so he just nodded silently.

On the other end of the communicator on his wrist.

When these conversations came over, the cautious liaisons were amused.

But the doll passing by the office area paused.

The billboard subconsciously showed a pattern.

[(╬◣д◢)]

Then, Li Yelai, the boss, the fierce-faced man and the scarred woman went deeper into the factory.

They came to a large room.

There were already quite a few people here, some of them were antique shop owners, some were housekeepers of some wealthy businessmen, and some were traders of unknown origin.

They were all related to the previous incident, and their subordinates or companions participated in the fight.

At this moment, these dozen people were forcibly invited here, and most of them looked very bad.

But one of the old housekeepers had his pupils shaking when he saw Li Yelai.

But his years of professionalism still made him calm down.

This was indeed an acquaintance, the old butler of the Wang family that Li Yelai met when he took private jobs before.

After Wang De's death, many of the Wang family's industries were seized, and the Wang Group fell into decline.

Unexpectedly, even the old butler had to show up in person.

Li Yelai did not greet the old butler, and it was best to pretend that he did not know him at this time.

"It seems that, except for the one in North City, all the groups involved in the transaction have come." The boss whispered.

At this time, a voice sounded.

"No, the one in North City is here too."

Then, a bloody man was thrown into the room and fell heavily on the ground, leaving a bloody mark on the ground.

The man's hands and feet were twisted and broken, and he was gasping in pain at this moment.

This bloody scene made the scene suddenly cold. Some people trembled, and some struggled.

At this time, the person who spoke came out of the door.

It was a man with a cigar in his mouth, and behind him, two bodyguards, a man and a woman, followed closely.

The leader should be Xu Shi, the boss of the Red Dart Chamber of Commerce.

And the two behind him. Li Yelai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm Xu Shi, just trying to retrieve the goods." The man who called himself Xu Shi said casually to everyone, and then stepped on the head of the seriously injured man.

The leather shoes rolled back and forth on the man's face, and when the man screamed in pain, he leaned over and stuffed the cigar in his mouth into the man's mouth.

Then, he watched the man writhe in pain.

Xu Shi smiled and said, "There is still one chance now. Take out the things, and I will not pursue it. If we find it, the end will be worse than his."

Seeing that no one spoke, they were obviously stunned by Xu Shi's methods.

Xu Shi nodded slightly: "Very good, I hope you will be silent until the end. Then I will find it in my own way."

Then, he raised his hand slightly, and a scavenger came out carrying a box.

It was a small treasure chest, and the classical patterns on it indicated that the items in the box were expensive.

But the other party did not seem to have the idea of ​​opening the treasure chest, but just put the treasure chest in front of Xu Shi.

Li Yelai was wondering in his heart, and then he saw the two people trembling not far away.

Looking at the box, his eyes were full of greed.

He actually approached the treasure chest under the gaze of more than a dozen scavengers. It seemed that he had forgotten the weapons in the hands of those scavengers.

"Look, haven't we found two?" Xu Shi spread his hands.

The next second, the female bodyguard behind him suddenly made a move, and appeared in front of the two men at a speed that ordinary people could hardly catch up with.

With her hands clasped together, with a loud 'snap', she smashed the heads of the two men together heavily.

The two men fell to the ground with a bang, covering their heads in pain. One of them endured the pain and reached for his waist. It was obvious that he was carrying a gun.

But the female bodyguard broke the man's arm with just one kick.

A crisp 'crack' sound made everyone feel cold.

Xu Shi seemed not to hear it, and continued to look at the crowd: "There are still two of you. Let's continue."

Li Yelai held the big black umbrella tightly, and he was really impressed by his luck.

He could even encounter a wild psychic.
