Hidden Corner Chapter 173

 Chapter 173 173 Go forward one

 January 3, morning.

 The forest area on the outskirts of Yunshan County.

 Groups of dead-end people from surrounding counties and cities took vehicles and came to the driveway outside the forest area.

 Cars of various shapes were turned off, their doors opened, and at least forty people got out, scattered on both sides of the driveway.

 Most of this group of people are locals from Fucong Province, with a small number coming from other provinces.

 In Fucong Province, apart from solo travelers, there are mainly two small groups.

 One is a tree-lined hut and the other is a prayer hall.

The owner of the tree-lined hut is a middle-aged uncle with a decadent look, wearing a camouflage uniform, sitting on a big rock by the roadside, holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking silently, as if he is not interested in anything else.

The people at the prayer hall are more unique. As soon as they get off the car, they start to take out various books and recite verses. If you look closely, you will find that they are all scriptures about the blessings of gods and Buddhas from various religions.

 This represents a major direction of dead-end people - turning to religious beliefs for help.

The leader of the prayer hall is a Taoist priest with a goatee wearing a black and white Tai Chi robe. He carries a wooden sword on his back, his long hair is tied into a bun, and he has a fairy-like Taoist temperament.

Other than that, there is a man with a yin and yang head that Li Chengyi is quite familiar with - Brother Turtle.

 A group of more than ten people stood around him, all nearby members of the Tower of Despair.

“The commissioner announced that as long as he comes to help investigate the blind spot, he can get a large sum of money. Is this true?”

“Each participant costs five million! Damn, this vote is enough to cover all the expenses for my daughter to go to college in the future! Even if she dies, it's worth it!”

“There is an official commissioner as the guarantor, so it's definitely true, but it's probably very difficult to be qualified to assist. Otherwise, we wouldn't offer such a high price.”

“Indeed, there must be very difficult screening conditions. When have the officials been so generous?”

Everyone present has often seen rich brothers and sisters in the group posting high-paying dead-end tasks, and they have long been greedy. However, because flashing depends entirely on the probability of character, and the probability of it happening is very low, so you can make money. Very few people.

 But this time it's different. The official directly announced that even if they don't succeed, each person will be given a compensation of 500,000 yuan when they return.

So there are too many people who are excited.

  After all, not everyone is as rich and powerful as Rainbow Candy Gantry Crane and others.

 There are only a very small number of people in blind spots like that.

Most people are ordinary people, and some are even just students and teenagers.

"Everyone, please don't make any noise. Don't be anxious. We'll wait for official announcements and arrangements." Sima Gui had just recovered from his injuries and now he also came over to make extra money and maintain order.

“Wenshan Group Leader, is it already ten o'clock? The announcement said that we would meet here at ten o'clock, but why didn't we see any official people?”

The owner of the tree-lined hut, the decadent uncle, approached Sima Gui and asked.

Sima Gui's online name is Sima Wenshan, so he is called Wenshan for short.

"I don't know, but you know the official style. It's normal to have a little style. After all, we are just a group of marginalized people who are not taken seriously." Sima Gui sighed.

 Since his boss Sindra left, his best way to make money has disappeared. He was used to the good life of luxury and luxury, and now he is suddenly back to the original hard days, which makes him very uncomfortable.

 “What do you call me, brother?” He looked at the other person.

"Zhao Shi'en. The leader of the Wenshan group has survived four dead ends, and his reputation is still very good in the circle." The decadent uncle said seriously.

“Ashamed, in fact, most of them win by lying down. Where is the Taoist priest over there?” Sima Gui asked.

“My online name is Taoist Ping An, but I don't know the exact name.” The decadent uncle Zhao Shien whispered.

“Alas, there are still a few heavyweights missing from our group.” Sima Gui sighed.

 “Heavyweight? Who?” Zhao Shien was confused.

"I have a buddy." Sima Gui suddenly showed a hint of pride when he mentioned that person, "He is a real talent! He is strong, has good character, and is a high-frequency flasher! I have worked with him before, and that person is really awesome. Nothing to say!"

“The only high-frequency flasher nearby is your buddy!?” Zhao Shien's eyes suddenly lit up, showing a hint of envy.

“Yes, that guy is very qualified, affectionate, and loyal. He really helps me when I need something!” Sima Gui sighed with emotion.

“Unfortunately, now that my boss has returned to China, he no longer works with me.”

"Do you have his contact information? Can you try and see if you can ask him for help?" Zhao Shien asked.

"The question is, why should they help me? Our relationship is pretty good, but it's not to the point where I can fight for each other. If I open my mouth and they agree, it's fine. If I don't, then the line is completely gone. From now on, all contact information must be cut off unless forced to do so.”

Before Sima Gui finished speaking, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the woods not far away.

 “People are coming!” someone shouted.

“The person holding the gun should be an official!”

 Sounds came one after another.

　　Clusters of scattered people standing around the corner gathered their gazes in the direction of the footsteps.

Soon, groups of black soldiers wearing black fire-proof suits and exoskeleton armor walked out of the woods with guns in hand.

Each of these soldiers is on average over 1.8 meters tall, with a tall and strong build. Their whole bodies are covered in armor and fire-proof clothing, with no trace of skin exposed at all.

 Hands are still holding the SR-457 jungle submachine gun produced by Shirahoshi.

This kind of submachine gun has extremely strong penetrating power. In a forest environment, even ordinary tree trunks, which are not very thick, cannot block the penetrating power of bullets. "Everyone, please be quiet because the blind spots that require assistance are confidential, so I hope everyone will cooperate and turn off the communication equipment on your body to avoid leaking secrets and causing serious consequences."

  The leader of the small team shouted loudly.

"Now, let me lead the team. Everyone is going in and needs to enter a completely shielded area. Please don't make any noise, thank you." The team leader continued to shout.

 Everyone lowered their heads and turned off their mobile phones, then followed the group of soldiers deeper into the forest.

Sima Gui and Zhao Shien also followed suit, turned off their phones, and then went deep into the forest.

The people formed a long queue and walked about a mile. In the distance ahead, the outline of the wolf cave could be vaguely seen.

“It is indeed a wolf cave.” Sima Gui knew that he had guessed correctly. Even the authorities are interested in the blue book. It seems that there is something hidden in it.

At this moment, all the soldiers suddenly raised their guns and pointed them at the people present in the blind spot.

 Puff puff puff puff!

The silenced bullets were like raindrops, densely intertwined into a large net, instantly including everyone present.

 Caught off guard, everyone did not expect to be suddenly attacked by official soldiers. Most of them were shot through the body on the spot and fell to the ground.

Out of some calculation, not many of the forty-odd people escaped at all. They only managed to hold on for a few seconds. Most of them fell to the ground and died before they even had time to scream.

Blood and water seeped into the soil and grass along the corpse. Some splashed onto tree trunks and dead leaves, dyeing the entire forest with a light red color.

Only Sima Gui, Zhao Shien and a few other scattered people were shocked and realized something was wrong. They immediately fell to the ground and hid behind a thick tree trunk and fired back.

 But their bullets couldn't penetrate the soldiers' bulletproof exoskeletons.

Several people were surrounded by soldiers with guns, and their death was basically certain.

Sima Gui glanced at Zhao Shien, who was not far away and had an indifferent expression. This guy seems not even afraid of death. Now he is still in the mood to light another cigarette and blow smoke rings.

“It seems good to just die like this.” Zhao Shien looked at him and actually smiled.

 “At least I don't have to worry anymore.”

Sima Gui gritted his teeth and wanted to refute, but not far behind him, there was suddenly a faint sound of voices.

　　'There are still people coming at this time! ? '

Sima Gui quickly glanced back.

 At the point of view, three figures wearing dark long-sleeved trousers were approaching, led by two soldiers.

The man walking in front has short hair, tall and strong, with a calm face, but his eyes are dark and have a fascinating look.

 It was his colleague who he had worked with before, Li Chengyi!

At this moment, Sima Gui saw the two soldiers leading the way for Li Chengyi and the others pulling up the safety of their firearms, turned around and raised their guns to take aim.

 'Li Chengyi! Run away, this is a trap! ' He wanted to yell out of desperation.

But before he could shout, he saw the two soldiers raising their guns and preparing to take aim. They suddenly paused, then put down their guns, turned around, and continued to lead the way.

 It seemed as if the action just now had never happened.

Afterwards, a man with double ponytails behind Li Chengyi made a V gesture, looking relaxed and happy.

etc! Why do men wear double ponytails? ? ?

That person is probably a woman! ?

Sima Gui rubbed his eyes.

 Before he could understand what was happening, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

 The sound of the gunfire just now disappeared completely.

"what happened!?"

Zhao Shien, who was not far away, looked puzzled. He stretched out his hand and hit a soldier with a gun in front with two shots.

The bullet was bounced away and sparks were thrown, but the soldier still stood there, motionless.

Not just him, but a total of nearly twenty soldiers around him, all stopped shooting at this moment, like puppets, frozen and motionless.

“They are all robot soldiers. With the communication module they just obtained, it is very easy to invade. On the surface, their modules are advanced, but in fact, the anti-hacker module still uses the version from Sutan, so there is no challenge.”

 The girl behind Li Chengyi said lazily.

“Why is this happening? We already use the White Star module, why can't we use a better anti-hacker module? Isn't it a trap?” Li Chengyi asked doubtfully.

He frowned slightly at this time and slowly walked closer.

"Because there are many traps in White Star's module, it also needs a lot of supporting things to achieve full effect. Once you use it, hey, a reconnaissance module with the same functions and matching functions will cost you five times the price. Do you buy it? I don't buy it for you. All the modules I bought before can't be used,” the girl with double ponytails explained.

At this time, Li Chengyi and the other two slowly approached and saw a large number of dead people on the ground.

　　The relaxed expressions of the three people just now suddenly froze.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Even though he is used to seeing death, anyone who looks at so many corpses, all of the same kind as himself, will be greatly shocked.
