Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

There are very few people in the black market in the early morning.

Old Tang leaned on the wicker chair at the door, took a sip of wine, and exhaled a breath.

He's been a little restless lately.

It wasn't because of a whim, or because he sensed some dangerous omen for no apparent reason - he didn't believe in these things either.

After being baptized by the wasteland, people are generally divided into two groups regarding these mysterious things: either they firmly do not believe it, or they believe it to death.

‘It’s not because of the journey to the north. ’

For this reason, Lao Tang specifically sought help from the organization.

A "brother" shared his knowledge. Ten years ago, there was indeed a man named Lei Bo who was secretly operating among the people, but he disappeared later because something was exposed.

The brother said that he could feel that there were other forces behind Lei Bai, who seemed to want to interfere in the affairs of the hub.

Many major events are related to them.

This made local snakes like Old Tang who were already active in this area very uneasy.

Unexpectedly, after ten years, I would hear this name from Lu Beiyou again.

——In fact, "Lei Bai" is most likely a pseudonym, but pseudonyms are used so often that everyone will know who you are talking about as soon as they hear it.

Lu Beiyou lied casually and then happened to mention a little-known but important figure like "Lei Bai"?

The possibility is too small.

"Lu Bei lobbied that his teacher was Lei Bai. It is difficult to determine whether it is true or not, but it does not matter - the greater possibility is that they belong to the same organization, or even have a superior-subordinate relationship.

"That's why a newcomer like Lu Beiyou can find the black market and quickly become a warrior, because he can also get the support of that organization.

"Assuming that he came to the black market under Leiber's instructions, was he aware of 'our' existence?

"Then what does Lu Beiyou mean by taking the initiative to inform me of this relationship?"

Old Tang sighed.

Although his "brothers" are a mixed bag, and most of the things they do are not on the stage, all they want is to help each other and survive in this troubled world.

It's best if it doesn't involve other things.

That's why Old Tang broke his own principles and sent the sensible guard to reveal to Lu Beiyou the news that Jiao Yi was trying to unite with Zhang Ying, as a gesture of goodwill.

Because of Lei Bai's background, Old Tang had unknowingly regarded Lu Beiyou, a young warrior who he originally thought he could manipulate at will, as someone who should talk to him on an equal footing.

But he won't remain passive like this.

No matter how scary the forces behind it may be, only a small number of people can enter the hub at most.

Even young people with potential like Lu Beiyou looked poor when they first arrived. It can be seen that their funds for activities are not very sufficient.

How can they compare to old local snakes like them.

What's more, it's just a subordinate, so it's not like he can't be bribed.

Young people have never seen the colorful world outside. Even if they seem very determined, it is just because the test is not enough.

If you can't withstand the torture, how can you enjoy the beauty trap behind.

Old Tang specially selected a gift based on his knowledge of Lu Beiyou, which might be able to pry open this man's mouth...

Tie Bangtang from the black market took another sip of wine, smashing it, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Mr. Tang!"

A figure suddenly stood in front of him.

"Ahem!" Old Tang opened his eyes and saw Lu Beiyou, whom he had been thinking about just now.

"Boss Lu, why are you here so early? The market hasn't opened yet."

He felt that although he hadn't seen him for a few days, Lu Beiyou's strength was still far from his own, but it had indeed improved a bit.

Old Tang was so uncertain that he even forgot to say "Beiyou ah" which he used to pretend to be intimate and show off.

The talent represented by this growth rate made Tie Bangtang a little envious of the mysterious "Lei Bai" whom he had never met before, for having such a good student.

The higher the students' achievements, the higher they can praise their teachers.

There will be more filial piety in the future.

"I'm not here to set up a stall today." Lu Meng looked serious, "I have something important to tell Mr. Tang."

"This..." Only then did Old Tang notice that he was not carrying any animal meat, nor was the shopkeeper beside him.

Lu Meng shook open the package.

A blue ferocious head was exposed in front of the two of them.

"You killed a hive man." Old Tang was puzzled, "But why is the color like this? He was poisoned?"

He has also dealt with the caravans of the Hive Clan and knows that they are all treacherous and slippery.

With the temperament Lu Beiyou showed, it wouldn't be surprising if the bee man hit this iron plate and was killed.

However, the appearance and color of this bee head are different from those of ordinary bee hives, and there is a faint ominous atmosphere.

"I wonder if Mr. Tang has ever heard of the Fog Man..." Lu Meng explained everything.

…

"I didn't expect that the Fog Man was actually transformed from the Hive Clan." Old Tang looked solemn, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have a few more grooves.

He knew that the Holy Kingdom was defending against a monster called the "Fog Man" in the west, but that was the Holy Kingdom's military base and no secrets could be spread.

All ordinary people in the Holy Kingdom know is that the Fog Man is the incarnation of Narco (darkness, evil).

——There are so many incarnations of Narco.

But what shocked him even more was the information revealed by Lu Beiyou - the Fog People were invading the hub.

Old Tang made a quick decision in his heart. He must first inform his "brothers" to protect themselves.

The black market industry cannot be given up easily, but at most it can only protect the residents who originally settled on the street of the black market, and those traders can only let them fend for themselves.

The black market is not as good as an ordinary street in terms of defense. If necessary, it can lead to the relocation of all stores. There will definitely be losses in this process, but it is better than being caught off guard when encountering the "fog man" that Lu Beiyou mentioned.

He looked at Lu Meng and once again confirmed the accuracy of the news with his eyes.

This kind of important matter cannot be taken lightly.

Lu Meng decisively promised: "My teacher told me this. He asked Mr. Tang to be careful."

Any information whose source could not be explained clearly was passed on to Leiber.

Old Tang nodded.

In this way, the credibility of the news has indeed increased.

It’s not difficult to verify anyway.

The key is to know the signs in advance and make targeted preparations. This process does not require much additional cost.

But Leiber actually asked his students to tell him such important news...

This is definitely showing good intentions.

Old Tang felt a lot more relaxed.

"There's one more thing..." Lu Meng's next words made Old Tang nervous again:

"I want to join you——"

"'Ninja Thieves', 'Thieves' Guild', 'Wandering Assassins' or 'Brotherhood of Thieves'... whatever your name is now."

"They all asked Mr. Tang to lead the way."

Aren't these all thieves?

Lu Meng complained in his heart.

Seeing the muscles in Old Tangtou's body tensing up when he destroyed the organization he belonged to, Lu Meng had no doubt that he would jump up and punch himself in the next second, killing and silencing him.

Let me show you what the wasteland boxer is capable of!

"This is all Teacher Lei's instructions to me." Lu Meng quickly added.

Old Tang stared at him, his heart filled with disbelief.

Leiber's intelligence network has already investigated to this extent?

How many of our brothers have been bribed!
