Chapter 138 A Little Accident

"Okay, that's it for now. The escort mission is over, remember to give a good review."

Just after returning to Huayuan Fortress, Zheng Li received a communication from Researcher Ke and his party who were still in the city.

Originally, it was estimated that he planned to go to them, fulfill his promise, and participate in their experiment.

But accidents always come very suddenly. Dr. Ke's experimental base was completely destroyed.

Who did it?Uh, the old acquaintances of my party, those runaway dragons.

Due to the limitation of food and resources, groups of dragons generally do not gather together, but higher-level dragon species will forcibly suppress the desires of individuals and gather in groups in a short period of time.

That undoubtedly became a disaster for mortals and low-level dragons. Of course, low-level dragons have limited IQ, and they will only hate their leaders. Dragons that are too high will become objects of reverence. In a sense, the "Purple Crown" He was also cheated by the Black Dragon King.

Some time ago, the gathered dragons became a disaster in the biological chain. Ordinary wild creatures could not satisfy the appetite of the dragons. Towns and populated places were naturally affected.

Dr. Ke's experimental field base is in this world, not far away. Unfortunately, they were naturally attacked by dragons in the gathering area of ​​dragons.

"So, your base was destroyed by dragons? What a bad luck."

Before, when Zheng Li asked this question, Researcher Ma's expression was quite subtle.

"Uh"

He squeezed for a long time, thinking that there was no need to keep it secret, and finally said.

"Actually, the experimental field is the key point. Many of the natural plants and psychic crops in it are rare goods collected from dozens of worlds. They use local natural rules for directional cultivation and are used to study several medicines and alchemy products. You You know, dragons don't eat plants at all."

So what happened?Zheng Li was a little surprised. Behind the communicator, Researcher Ke was roaring.

How can there be no loss if a digital human researcher is so angry.

". The dragons mainly crashed into our guardrails and barriers, dispersed the local guards we hired, and found that there were only some unedible grass inside, and they all left."

Isn't that great?It is enough to repair the guardrail, and the loss is quite small.

Researcher Ma's expression became more subtle.

"...I don't even know what to say. The fence and guards are gone. When the local villagers not far away found this situation, they rushed into the fence and snatched all the crops and experimental equipment. They seem to sell scrap iron for experimental equipment. , Second-hand home appliances, crops and special plants were either eaten or fed to livestock. Just yesterday, the escaped local guards contacted us."

Uh, Zheng Li's expression has also become very subtle, this development is too realistic, it's hard to comment.

"Kill those trash and untouchables!"

Those roars from behind made the researcher lose face a bit.

".Sorry, for this experimental base, Mr. Ke put up his own real estate. In short, we will stay here for a while, and then hire mercenaries to escort us to the experimental base to save as much as possible. "

At the end of the communication, there is obviously chaos over there. Zheng Li watched the old man dragging a guard of Huayuan City and shouted, "Send me troops to kill them and get my seeds back." It is hard to say how it will develop next.

But it is estimated that it is impossible to destroy the stable relationship with the local residents for the sake of an experimental base. Dr. Ke estimates that he will have no time to worry about other things for a long time.

As for recovering the lost items and materials, even if Zheng Li didn't use his brain, he felt that it would be much better to bring more money or equivalents and buy them directly from the local villagers instead of mopping up the army. There are many more.

On another level, Zheng Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

Needless to say, he was a little worried about what these crazy researchers did to him.

Now, when they are free, they have long forgotten themselves.

"Ding."

But suddenly, a short message came, and when I opened it, I was still an old acquaintance.

"An escort request, take me back."

Dr. Snake expressed her goal very directly. The snake head on her head drooped listlessly, obviously a little frustrated.

"If you say that the entrustment is so out of touch, let's just pay you back the favor and escort it for free."

"Forget it, I'm not stupid, my favor is not worth more than this little employment money?"

After getting along for a long time, Zheng Li felt that he could see Ms. Snake's expression. Is she smiling?Are you in a good mood?
"Tsk, it's at the original place. We'll leave after the supplies are over. Come here quickly. The room is still reserved for you."

Zheng Li and his party were going to complete their own hunting missions, so it was naturally not suitable to take the "boss" with them.

They left them in the Huayuan Fortress in the safe area, originally planning to finish hunting and then escort them to the experimental base.

Now that the situation has become like this, Researcher Ke must have other plans. No matter what he plans to do, it cannot be done in a short period of time. This directly violates the original contract.

Researcher Ke was also very straightforward, and directly regarded it as an excellent evaluation and completed the escort mission ahead of schedule, which made Zheng Li, who was working as a mercenary for the first time, heave a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, he also has a job that he is not used to to finish quickly.

"How are the sales going?"

".It's very subtle. People here just watch and don't ask for a price. It seems that we can't afford to see through it."

Zheng Li rubbed the center of his brows, this is really a bit out of the question.

After killing the purple crown, this level of loot does not only have a little material.

At that time, after confirming that no one wanted to gamble and feed swords on the spot, Zheng Li and his party directly tied the dragon corpse to the outside of the firefly cart and dragged it back.

This is also the standard way for many warbands to dispose of large loot. But then, Zheng Li also encountered the standard troubles that warbands encounter at this time.

"Asshole, these professional second-hand dealers."

Zheng Li has just arrived here, and there is no stable shipping channel. If the Purple Crown is broken up and sold in the market, not only will the value drop sharply, but it will not be a matter of a day or two.

The middlemen who can eat steadily are obviously used to this situation, and they patiently wait for the seller to take the initiative to lower the price.

No price reduction?The spiritual material will continue to decrease over time, and finally reach the average level in Shiqian City, or, you can try to bring the whole dragon back.

Zheng Li felt a little helpless, there was really no way to deal with this kind of thing, unless he could conjure up professionals to handle it right now.

"It seems that professional businessmen are still needed in the establishment of future battle groups. I understand why those battle groups set up professional subsidiary battle groups. We are also going to do one."
