Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King

Chapter 24 The Edge



The road when we first left the city was easy to walk on. It was spacious and flat, and it was no problem to walk eight heavy trucks side by side.

But forty kilometers outside the city, the situation quickly changed after the armored jeep left the highway connecting the southern provincial capital.

The further they went, the narrower and more rugged the road became, with many cracks and potholes. Su An was shaken from side to side, and Zhang Yuying was often in rough waters.

The first 40 kilometers after leaving the city took the team only twenty minutes, but for the next [-] kilometers, Su An estimated that it would take him an hour.

"Those bastards from the Qianli Sect, I don't know how much money they have made. Is this road still used by people now?" Zhang Yuying couldn't hold it in for a long time, and complained through gritted teeth.

Su An asked curiously: "Did the Thousand Miles Sect build this road? I remember that they have a good reputation, and they were one of the top ten sects in Lingdong Province selected by the Provincial Envoy."

According to the system of the Yan State, the "Chief Envoys' Department" is the provincial-level yamen in charge of political affairs, referred to as the Chief Secretary, and is in charge of the Chief Envoys.

The patrol room is under the jurisdiction of this yamen.

The other two major yamen are the "Jiancha Division" in charge of justice, supervision, and prisons, referred to as "Jiancha Division", and the chief official is the Inspector; and the "Du Commander Division" of the military, referred to as Du Division, with the chief officer Du Commander Division. .

These three departments and offices are all executive agencies, and the decision-making body is the provincial council.

The Demon Subduing Department and the "Extraordinary Things Management Committee" are both under the direct leadership of the Provincial Council.

As for the Qianli Sect, it is a famous sect in Jizhou City that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is mainly engaged in engineering construction.

Zhang Yuying chuckled: "What a brat, do you believe in the title of Top Ten Sects? It's just that whichever sect is rich and powerful, the Yamen will award the honor to them."

"Qianli Sect receives a large amount of special funds for road maintenance every year to ensure smooth roads. The Yamen also has the responsibility of supervision, but you have seen the actual situation."

Su An shrugged: "I'm just a simple and kind-hearted high school student. My heart is bright and clean. I don't know or even believe in these dark discords. Isn't that normal?"

Zhang Yuying rolled her eyes.

She didn't believe that Su An was a simple and clean novice.

Can Xiao Bai collude with Zhang Zhen and Lin Kang?

When the convoy left the city and entered the suburbs, Su An saw countless factories. After leaving the factory area, there was endless farmland, and a variety of crops were growing well.

Agricultural machinery can be seen everywhere on the ground, and there are small planes spraying pesticides at low altitudes. There are almost no farmers working with their hands and feet.

As far as Su An knows, those who manage these fields are professional companies and sects, and there is no such thing as "retail investors".

The entire industry is highly scaled, mechanized, intelligent, refined and efficient.

Jizhou City's sufficient food supply depends entirely on these farms.

The closer the farm is to the city, the more glamorous it becomes. Not only are the farms well-equipped and the roads spacious, but there are also Tosi's patrol convoys passing by from time to time.

Farms that are far away from the city appear to be relatively shabby, with old buildings and inconsistent equipment styles. Many of them have been used for a long time, and there are fewer patrol teams to ensure safety.

About ten kilometers down the highway, the convoy encountered a checkpoint at a T-junction. A squad of Dusi soldiers, armed with live ammunition, were checking passing vehicles.

Unlike areas near the city, patrols are rarely seen here and are replaced by sentry posts at key crossings.

Fortunately, there were not many vehicles, and after queuing for five or six minutes, it was Su An and others' turn.

"ID card, destination." A soldier came to the car window on Zhang Yuying's side with a straight face.

"The next five cars are all mine." Zhang Yuying handed over her ID and proof of her mission to support Qinghe Farm.

"Shenxian Sect? The name of your sect is quite strange, is it so loud?"

The soldier looked joking, and was about to say something sarcastic when his eyes suddenly changed, "Zhang Yuying of the Immortal Sect, are you the Zhang Yuying?"

The awe that was evident on his face was palpable.

"It's me." Zhang Yuying responded calmly.

The next moment, the soldier handed back all the documents, his expression returned to calmness, and his tone became condescending again: "Since he is a famous person who has killed countless demons, he can get a [-]% discount."

Zhang Yuying handed the other party a wad of cash that she had prepared a long time ago, and was then released.

Su An could see clearly that what Zhang Yuying handed over was one thousand, six hundred yuan.

"What are these checkpoints for?" Su An asked curiously after leaving the checkpoint.

"Of course it's to check for monsters." Zhang Yuying said.

"Then why do you charge us?"

"Tolls."

"Then why don't you give me a ticket?"

"Kid, Du Si earns extra money and still needs to issue invoices to you?"

"We don't have anything related to monsters in the car, right?"

"Correct."

"I'm going to slay demons and protect my family and country, right?"

"Right."

"You are a hero who risked your life to achieve great military exploits, right?"

"Still right."

"Does everyone have to charge money for this?"

"Why don't you accept it? Didn't you see that they gave me a [-]% discount?"

Su An took a deep breath: "I thought the capital had set up checkpoints to protect the place!"

Zhang Yuying: "They do play such a role. But this does not prevent them from making extra money."

Su An didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only give a thumbs up to show her admiration.

He thought that the money Du Si collected from them was already excessive, but he didn't expect that there would be something even more excessive: they passed two more checkpoints later, and each time they were charged a thousand and sixty!

Su An didn't know how to charge the same fee three times.

"Dusi is still good at doing business and can make money just lying down. Do you think I can join them?" Su An was filled with emotion, thinking that there was still a way to make money by working in the yamen.

Zhang Yuying glanced at him: "Of course it's okay if you want to be a top soldier, but that won't do anything to you. If you want to be promoted, it depends on whether you have a background in Dusi."

Of course Sue Ann didn't.

When he thought of Huang Hai as the detective and Huang Yuewen as the head catcher, he felt that the same kind of official family might be in charge within Dusi.

There are only so many official positions in the yamen, and the people themselves can't arrange them. Su An understands on his knees that when he gets in, he will be ordered around and do the work of cattle and horses.

It's more reliable to establish a sect. If you want to get ahead, just fight to the death with the monster.

With this in mind, Zhang Yuying turned the steering wheel to the right, drove the jeep off the road, and drove into an open space next to it.

When the convoy marched here, it had reached the edge of the plain area. In front of it was a mixed area of ​​flat land and low hills. It was only a dozen kilometers away from the Qinghe Farm factory area.

After Zhang Yuying got out of the car, she leaned on the hood and lit a cigarette. She knocked on the car door and greeted Su An: "Kid, take your toy bag and get out of the car.

"Then we'll go on foot."

When Su An took out his equipment, five cars parked behind him one after another.

He looked around for a while, but found no demon.

Seeing his confusion, Zhang Yuying explained:

"Ten hours have passed since the demon launched its attack on the farm last night. Because the communication facilities were destroyed, no one knows what happened in the front.

“If you want to avoid being ambushed halfway, and a cannon, a vehicle, and people are blasted into the sky, you have to search and move forward.

"How are you, kid? We are about to enter a war zone. Is your heart beating very hard?"

He had rich experience, so Su An couldn't accept it. As for his heartbeat, it did speed up. After all, this was his first time on the battlefield.

But it was impossible for him to admit his nervousness and excitement. He said seriously: "It's the feeling of heartbeat."

We are passionate about the battlefield. Going to the battlefield is like falling in love... In short, it has nothing to do with fear.

Zhang Yuying curled her lips and said nothing.

Su An looked around again: there were fruit trees planted neatly and densely on the hills ahead, crops were planted on the plains, and fish, shrimp and other river fresh food were raised in the ponds.

He checked the mission map on the tablet, and the computer showed that this was already the area of ​​Qinghe Farm.

Speaking of which, the geographical location of Qinghe Farm is rather awkward. It is on the edge of the effective control range of Jizhou City.

Let's say it has no official protection. There is a Dusi military camp more than 200 meters behind Su An, where a company of troops is stationed.

Let's say it has official protection. The company behind Su An is the outermost military station in Jizhou City, and Qinghe Farm is only within their patrol range.

And until now, Su An has not seen Dusi sending troops for reinforcements. The checkpoints behind are still doing what they are supposed to do, as if there is no force of their own in front that is in danger or even desperate situation.

The combatants in the next five vehicles got out of the car one after another, and someone came over to say hello to Zhang Yuying. Su An's attention was quickly attracted by everyone.

He knew that these were the comrades he would rely on next.

There were six cars and more than [-] people in total.

They are the first batch of Jizhou City's extraordinary forces to support Qinghe Farm.

Following Zhang Yuying's jeep was a large armored vehicle, and three extraordinary people stepped out of it. The one on the left looked like an iron tower, tall and strong, and he looked very powerful at first glance.

According to Zhang Yuying's introduction, this ferocious-looking extraordinary person, nicknamed "Iron Tower", is one of the backbone combat forces of the Shenxian Sect and a fourth-level soldier.

When shaking hands with Su An, he showed an honest and honest smile, and the stubbornness on his face disappeared in an instant because of this extraordinarily mellow smile.

The second immortal of the Immortal Sect was a man with no characteristics, an average build and an average appearance, about thirty years old, named Xu Qing. He did not shake hands with Su An, but simply nodded.

From this, Su An noticed the arrogance in him.

The opponent is a level five soldier.

The last one is a young woman with a very slender figure, the kind of thinness without curves, a very delicate appearance, and a sweet smile.

The deepest impression she left on Su An was the mechanical transformation of her body.

One of her eyes is a mechanical prosthetic eye, which looks similar to a human eye at first glance, but when she looks at Su An, there is a green light flashing in her eyes, which is like a will-o'-the-wisp and makes people shudder.

In addition, her left arm was a biological prosthetic and looked normal. However, when Su An shook hands with her, she gave her a nasty shock, which made Su An almost straight up.

Zhang Yuying called her Xiaomei, a fourth-level combat soldier.

These three people are all members of Zhang Yuying's sect. Xiaomei calls Zhang Yuying "Sister Ying", Xu Qing calls Zhang Yuying "Sect Master", and Tieta calls Zhang Yuying "Boss".

The people who got off the next few cars were extraordinary people from other sects, and the two sides formed a temporary team.
