Chapter Eleven Unexpected(1/2)

Taking advantage of the recent boom in slaughterhouse business, Wang Hong acted like a guerrilla and wandered around several slaughterhouses near Furong City, absorbing a large number of animal souls.

In order to reduce the attention of people to the vision, Wang Hong basically operates at night.

But even so, the huge black smoke column has been discovered and photographed several times.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon occurred in a slaughterhouse. All kinds of rumors were flying all over the place, and even the government began to pay attention to it.

If it weren't for Wang Hong's recent increase in strength, his speed is not what it used to be, and the slaughterhouses are all in suburbs or towns, with not much surveillance along the way, he might have been discovered by the waiting police.

"You can no longer visit the slaughterhouse near Furong City, otherwise you will be caught sooner or later."

"Fortunately, the first ten pages are all dyed red, and the 10% movement speed is really good!"

The mental power increased by the murder book does not mean much to the current Wang Hong.

On the contrary, it is a 10% speed bonus, which can make up for his weakness very well.

"It's time to go over there, there's no point in delaying it any longer!"

The medicinal bath materials have been used up. If he wants to continue to grow rapidly, Wang Hong must go to another world to deal with the people who plotted against him.

A moment later, Wang Hong, fully armed, appeared in the inn room in Ping'an Town.

After scanning the surrounding area, Wang Hong quickly turned over on the bed and covered his whole body with the quilt.

Including the head wearing a gas mask, he also got into the quilt, leaving only a gap to monitor the door of the room directly opposite.

The person who plotted against him was very patient. Under normal circumstances, he would have fainted long ago.

But Wang Hong lay on the bed for more than ten minutes before a faint sound came from the window. After a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the room.

Because of the angle, Wang Hong couldn't see the other person at first. It wasn't until the person carefully walked to the front of the bed that Wang Hong could see the other person's appearance clearly.

This person turned out not to be Ping Yiluo as he had guessed, but the shopkeeper of the grain store who had collected his salt before!

Although Wang Hong felt a little confused, he still chose to take action without hesitation.

His right hand popped out of the quilt in an instant, holding a dark-skinned pistol, which was the May 4th-style pistol he got from Lin Cheng.

At this moment, the target was less than three meters away from him. Without even looking, Wang Hong directly pulled the trigger.

The pistol's safety had already been turned on, and when there was a "bang" sound, the grain store manager let out a miserable howl, covered his belly and rolled on the ground.

The power of Wusi was already outstanding, and it was fired at close range. Although it did not hit the vital part, it also caused the opponent to lose its combat effectiveness instantly.

Wang Hong took off his three-proof clothing and gas mask in a leisurely manner, and sorted out the items in the room, ignoring the grain shop owner rolling on the floor.

Then they knocked the guy unconscious, put him into a black big sack, picked up his travel bag, and walked towards the back of the inn with the big sack in hand.

The gunshots and screams were so loud that they could definitely be heard inside and outside the inn.

However, almost everyone in Ping'an Town is from the Jianghu community, and they know the dangers of meddling in other people's own affairs. No one would go out into muddy waters to cause trouble for themselves because of excessive curiosity.

Although Wang Hong was considered to be the victim, his identity could not withstand the investigation at all, so he could only mention this guy and leave through the back door of the inn.

Although this may be seen by some people, it is better than causing more trouble in the inn.

Wang Hong quickly came to the warehouse behind the grain store. There was a small door to enter. The warehouse was separated from the store in front, and the interior was quite quiet and secluded.

Last time he sold out the salt, the shopkeeper took him out through the small door in order to reduce attracting other people's attention.

Now that Wang Hong has no suitable interrogation location, this warehouse naturally becomes the best choice.

The small door was locked tightly, but Wang Hong found the key from the shopkeeper and quickly opened the door.

He took out a roll of gauze from his backpack, and without taking out the bullet, Wang Hong crudely bandaged the storekeeper to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Seeing that the other party hadn't woken up yet, Wang Hong tied him to a chair and wandered around the warehouse by himself.

Although Pingan Town is only a small town, because it is close to the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, it can receive a large amount of good goods at a lower price, so all forces in the county have set up purchase points in the town.

This grain store belongs to a large chamber of commerce. The grain business is just a facade, and its main business is the purchase of medicinal materials and monster corpses.

Most of the warehouse, which was less than 1,000 square meters, was full. Wang Hong simply walked around and picked out many of his favorite things, which surprised him.

Although the new medicated bath formula is expensive, nearly 90% of it is spent on two main ingredients, and these two main ingredients are actually available in this warehouse!

Even though the quantity stored here is not large, if he drinks it once every ten days, Wang Hong will not need to worry about paying for medicine for at least two months.

In addition, there are many other elixirs and monster materials, and there are even some finished elixirs and weapons.

Wang Hong estimated that these items were used to barter with warriors to reduce acquisition costs.

Just as he was carefully selecting items, the shopkeeper of the grain store had already woken up.

Although the other party endured the severe pain and tried to break away from the rope on his body.

But after Wang Hong's mental strength increased greatly, his five senses were improved again, and the subtle noise could not escape his ears.

"I woke up pretty quickly." Wang Hong walked to the shopkeeper and said with a smile.

When the shopkeeper saw him coming over, he immediately gave up struggling, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and said:

"I admit defeat, tell me what you want."

"What do I think? It sounds like you are the victim!" Wang Hong sneered and said with his hands behind his back: "Do you know how much I paid to get rid of the drug? The hidden weapon that shot you just now was even more serious.

A masterpiece, a treasure that cannot be bought with ten thousand taels of silver, do you understand?"

Hearing Wang Hong yell at him, the grain store manager showed a look of understanding on his face.

The smoke he used was a high-quality product specially made by the forces behind it. It was colorless and odorless and extremely effective. Even an acquired martial artist with true energy to protect his body would be caught unknowingly if he was not careful.

Wang Hong had used a trick before, and when he ambushed him, he had been hiding under the quilt. The shopkeeper was rolling on the ground in pain after being shot, and he didn't even notice that he was wearing a gas mask on his head.

So he mistakenly thought that Wang Hong had used a precious antidote pill, and it was normal for the other party to be furious at this moment.

As for the "hidden weapon" that injured him, judging from its power alone, ten thousand taels of silver is a bit exaggerated.

But this thing does not require the activation of true energy, and a body-forging warrior can exert such power.

In this case, the large premium is reasonable. You can't even buy ten thousand taels of silver, so it's really not an exaggeration.

"I don't ask you why you want to plot against me, but you must give something of sufficient value to redeem your life."

"Otherwise, even if you have someone behind you, you won't live to see the sun tomorrow!"

Wang Hong pretended to be in pain and said viciously.

The other party's purpose was nothing more than seeking money, and Wang Hong no longer cared about the specific content.

Anyway, he has passed the language barrier now and can leave the small place of Ping'an Town at any time.

Of course, having no identity will cause trouble, but it is also an advantage at this time. As long as he runs a little further, it is impossible to trace him due to the structure of ancient society.

Therefore, if the other party can really come up with enough money to redeem his life, then Wang Hong can just make a fortune and leave. There is really no need to kill the other party to make a big feud.

The shopkeeper of the grain store pondered for a while and whispered:

"You can take whatever you want in this warehouse. I will find an excuse to cover it up afterwards and it will never affect you."

The total goods in the warehouse are worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, and this is still calculated as the receipt price.

If these supplies were transported to the county town, they would be sold for at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver, not to mention doubling the price.

Wang Hong can only move so much on his own. Even if he picks out the most valuable batch, the shopkeeper can organize a gang of thieves to rob them. He fights to the death, gets injured and faints, unable to stop it.

The injuries on his body can be used as evidence, so the responsibility he has to bear will be greatly reduced.

In the shopkeeper's view, Wang Hong's background is definitely no weaker than his.

How can a small family afford the priceless hidden weapons, top-notch detoxifying elixirs, and refined salt from before?

When the background is similar, you have to be reasonable!

So whether the other party kills him or makes the matter bigger and lets the higher-ups know that he wants to rob secretly, the consequences will be far greater than the warehouse being robbed.

Wang Hong said happily: "Hey, the things in the warehouse are all mine now. You use my things as your redemption money. Are you insulting my IQ?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly turned dark. Is this man still shameless?

After a long silence, the shopkeeper closed his eyes and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Wang Hong glanced around and said casually:

"You have been working here for many years, right? Don't tell me that you don't even have a private treasury. Tell me where the private treasury is."

Hearing what Wang Hong said, the shopkeeper's brows suddenly furrowed.

Of course he has a private treasury, but the private treasury and this large warehouse are two different concepts. The goods here are all public accounts. As long as the reasons are compiled well, the proportion of compensation he needs to make afterwards is quite small.

The various factions in Yunzhou have suffered heavy losses recently. Demons and demons from all over the country have taken the opportunity to plunder. It is not uncommon for grain stores and warehouses to be robbed. It is not difficult for him to shirk responsibility.

But the private treasury is different. Once it is opened by Wang Hong, it will be a 100% loss.

Inside are all items he has carefully selected over the past ten years. They are small in size but expensive in value.

Some of the treasured elixirs were even prepared for his son to use in the future. If they were all taken away by the other party, the loss would be so severe that it would be no better than killing him.

Seeing the hesitation on the shopkeeper's face, Wang Hong smiled and said:

"If you die, I don't know who will benefit from those treasures. I can swear that as long as the treasures I get are what I want, I will never break my promise and kill you."

If on Earth, few people would believe the oath, but it's different in this world.
To be continued...
