Mysterious Resurrection: Part 2, Starting with the Faceless Man
Chapter 55: The caravan where the beasts lie dormant
Kurt looked back.
He found an old man waving at him on the back of a beast.
He just gave an order to Rhodes beside him.
He did not stop and continued to walk forward.
After about 10 minutes.
A team of people accelerated from behind to catch up.
They came to Kurt and greeted him warmly.
"Sir! I heard that you are about to leave Qiangkou City, so I specially brought the caravan to follow you. I hope I can take care of you along the way."
"Of course... my caravan can provide food and drink throughout the journey, and I can also give you a guard fee!"
The person who came was Babbitt.
He spoke very directly, without saying those long-winded nonsense, but directly pointed out the key points.
Kurt looked back at the caravan vehicles, and then said to Babbitt.
"Okay!"
The whole team was driven by beasts, even those caravan vehicles were pulled by beasts.
It did not affect the forward speed.
They moved forward for about an hour.
Suddenly a light band came from the side.
No...
To be precise, it was a caravan, which looked like a strip of light from a distance.
Obviously, it was not the same route as them.
Kurt turned his head and asked.
"Babbitt, why didn't they take the same route?"
Babbitt only glanced into the distance and smiled calmly.
"They don't belong to the city of Kangkou. Merchants in each city have their own fixed routes."
"Even in the same city, there are more than one. After all, it is very common to find new trade routes here."
"Usually, a fixed route is formed by acquaintances leading acquaintances."
"After all, merchants do not live in harmony with each other, but also have a competitive relationship!"
Kurt nodded and said nothing.
That caravan did not intend to meet here. The two sides crossed each other at a distance of one kilometer.
Along the way.
From time to time, you can see a team moving forward in the dark.
It is precisely because of other caravans that the darkness does not seem too lonely.
The whole team keeps moving forward.
Apart from the panting of the beasts and the creaking of the wheels, there were almost no other noises.
We took several breaks along the way.
Until a huge light appeared in front of us, everyone knew that the next city had arrived.
Kurt took out his pocket watch from his inner pocket and looked at the time. 14 hours had passed.
When they were about to arrive.
Babbitt took the initiative to speak.
"Sir! Our caravan will not stay in this city, but will continue to the next city!"
"If you want to enter the city, I will pay you the escort fee!"
It must be said that Babbitt, as a businessman, is very quick and efficient.
Kurt raised his hand and said.
"No need! Keep going, we won't stop in the city!"
Babbitt's old face suddenly showed a smile.
"Hahahaha...! It seems that I am blessed by the goddess of luck today!!"
He shouted to the back.
"Keep going!! No need to get close to the city!"
"Yes!"
Kurt and the others apparently brought 10 days of rations. The rations and condensation algae for the beasts along the way were all provided by the caravan and have not been consumed yet.
In addition, the Ark of Destiny was stuffed with a large amount of supplies, so there was no need to stay in the city.
In addition to some specialties and relatively new toys, the city was not much different from the outside.
The city was controlled by the powerful, and the civilians were controlled in cages like tools.
It was relatively fresh at the beginning.
After watching for a long time, you will feel boring.
After passing the second city.
There were rarely any caravans.
According to Babbitt, the deeper you go, the more chaotic it is.
No one knows what will emerge and bring a devastating blow to mankind.
Generally, caravans without sufficient escort strength will only operate at the outermost periphery.
Although the profit is small, it is safer.
After walking for more than 5 hours, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of us.
The brightness became more obvious as we went forward, and it was the same road from the direction of advance.
Babbitt also showed a puzzled look on his face.
He said to Kurt alertly.
"Sir! There may be trouble ahead! We are at least halfway to the next city."
"This situation is very abnormal. Logically, the caravans are moving at about the same speed, so it is impossible for the light to get brighter and brighter."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered the captain of the guard on the other side.
"Notify everyone to be alert to prevent problems ahead!"
"Yes!"
Kurt also winked at Rhodes, who immediately understood and began to call on everyone to be alert.
The light in the world inside the giant beast is not very penetrating.
If it is on land.
It will take at least several hours to reach the light in front.
After only 30 minutes of walking here, I can see the situation ahead clearly.
No bandits were seen, and no monsters appeared.
It was just a caravan stopped on the road, and it seemed to be in trouble.
Babbitt breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...! I was shocked. I thought the bandits robbed a caravan!"
Because the other party was resting on the side of the road, it did not block the road.
Kurt and the others passed through smoothly.
When approaching the center of the caravan.
Babbitt suddenly stopped.
Then he shouted.
"Hunter is that you??"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man emerged from a luxury carriage.
When he saw Babbitt and others, he looked stunned.
Then bursts of laughter.
"Hahahaha! It's you, Babbitt!! Aren't you in Qokou City? Why are you here?"
Babbitt pulled the reins and let the beast walk towards the opponent.
He said helplessly.
"A catastrophic incident occurred at the scavenger stronghold, so I came back early this time!"
"I'm going to take a long distance trip while I have more time."
"Is there something wrong with your caravan? Why isn't it moving here?"
Hunter shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"There was something wrong with the condensed algae I bought in the last city. Now the ferocious beasts are all lurking in their nests. We can only start again when we recover!"
After hearing this, Babbitt noticed that those ferocious beasts were not resting on the ground.
It can be seen from the pupils that he looks very haggard.
Frowning slightly.
He glanced around at the darkness.
"Have you been plotted against? How long have you been here?"
Hunter shook his head.
"It's probably not a plot! It's probably just something that was added to the condensed algae. Our dealer has been here for more than three hours, and there has been no problem or anything wrong."
Babbitt hesitated.
"Let's do this! I still have a lot of excess condensed algae here. You can let the beast use it and see if it can have a relief effect!"
Hunter's eyes lit up and he held his chest with one hand.
"Thank you so much!"
Babbitt patted Hunter on the shoulder and smiled.
"Hahahaha...! We are all old acquaintances, what can we say thank you for? Let's go! There is an adult in our caravan who will introduce you to us. The caravan is stopping and we need to say hello to him!"
In fact, the conversation between the two was quite loud.
Kurt could hear it clearly not far away.
Babbitt took Hunter and rode the beast, came to Kurt and introduced him.
"This businessman's name is Hunter, a local businessman who was born and raised!"
Then Kurt was introduced to Hunter.
"This is... uh... I don't know the name yet, you just need to call him Sir!"
Kurt never said his name from beginning to end, not to mention Babbitt, not even the Ruhl brothers.
Hentrick clamped the beast between his feet, came close to Kurt, and stretched out his hands.
said respectfully.
"I'm very sorry for delaying your schedule. It's my honor to meet you!!!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to Kurt.
Except Kurt didn't extend his hands.
The scene was awkward for a while.
Babbitt hurried over and explained.
"I'm sorry, sir, I forgot to tell you! The handshake ceremony is a kind of etiquette for strangers, which means that both parties get to know each other and are friendly to each other!"
The corners of Kurt's mouth turned up slightly.
He glanced at Babbitt and then at Hunter's hands still hanging in the air.
Lift the civilization stick in his left hand upward.
Then release the reins with your right hand.
Babbitt and Hunter also smiled when they saw this, and the atmosphere was finally not so awkward.
Just when everyone thought Kurt was going to go up and shake his hand.
Phew...! ! !
At lightning speed, Kurt drew out his staff and sword and slashed it across Hunter's neck.
The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.
Until Hunter's head fell to the ground, he still maintained his previous polite smile...
