Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 228 Kerridge

This is a transport team shuttling through the underground city. They are transporting a truckload of daily necessities from an underground city factory to Hazel Street.

There are generally two main sources of daily necessities in underground cities. Some underground cities close to the surface society will directly purchase or smuggle materials from the surface society. Of course, in some middle-level or even deep underground cities, capable people in power also have some channels to transport materials from the surface. On the other hand, the huge underground ruins, after giving birth to large and small residential areas, also gave birth to many underground factories. Some of these factories will also purchase some raw materials from the surface, while others will directly use local materials for production. They have become a major source of daily necessities in the Backlund underground city system. These businesses not only make the production bosses earn a lot of money, but also promote the development of an entire trading industry system. It is separated from civilized society and abandons modern rule of law. It is only the interests of all parties that barely maintain this fragile trading order.

This convoy had just purchased a series of supplies from a middleman, and after transiting in Evernight Harbor, it went down to Hazel Street.

Living materials and related access passages are always sensitive information in an underground city. The team that transports food, energy, and important items must be led by someone who is deeply trusted by the person in power. As for those who are responsible for doing physical work, they do not necessarily need to have very high requirements. It is best to have firm loyalty, and it is also okay to just take the money and leave. After each mission, they will not remember any route of this journey anyway.

As the leader of the team, Henrik Schelling was the only one in the team who understood the complete route. The transportation service provided by Evernight Harbor could only reach one-third of the route, and the transportation team had to go the rest of the way by themselves. Neither Henrik nor the Tesla siblings wanted this route to appear completely under the eyes of others. After each transportation, Henrik would use extraordinary items on behalf of the Tesla siblings to erase the memories of these laborers.

For others, they just went to do a job, drove along a route that was different every time, and got paid, but if they walked along the route in their memory again, they would find that no matter which day the route was, it did not exist.

Of course, the workers didn't mind this at all. To them, knowing the real transportation route had nothing to do with their wages, and having some secret information was useless because it couldn't be used to make a living. For these underground city residents, survival was the top priority. Whether you wanted to clean their brains or not, as long as they could be paid as promised, they were willing to risk their lives and make this trip.

However, Henrik thought that he was at least an honest businessman, and at least he kept his word when it came to the wages of the workers. So every time Henrik transported the workers, there were familiar faces. The workers would not remember where they went or who they served, but at least they knew who paid them - this selective retention of memory was one of Henrik's management methods.

This is undoubtedly an effective method. Although the memory will not be retained, as a manager, Henrik does not want too much turnover in his team. Most workers will still come to participate in the next transportation for the sake of wages. The more people he knows, the more assured Henrik is.

Therefore, Henrik, who had walked this route countless times, was very familiar with the environment around this route.

But now something unexpected has happened.

A big white dog with only three legs.

Although this big white dog was covered in mud and water, it was obvious that its fur was very clean before.

Henrik searched his memory many times, but couldn't figure out where there was such a dog in this place.

Something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Not only Henrik, but also the workers who have lived in the underground city for many years are wary of this three-legged dog that suddenly appeared. Most of them ignored the big white dog and just sorted out their things and took a rest, avoiding conflict in silence.

But the black-haired young man walked out to everyone's surprise and rubbed the three-legged dog.

The laborers did not stop him. In the dungeon, you cannot stop someone from committing suicide.

But Henrik frowned. This black-haired young man was a new face in the transport team. He had traveled with the team several times this month. He looked like a weak clerk who had come down from Backlund. Although he was not as good as a laborer, he was smart and hardworking. Henrik even considered taking this young man as his assistant after a few more transports.

"Hey, Kerridge, stay away from that dog..."

Before Henrik could finish his words, he suddenly had an intuition that a group of masked gangsters suddenly rushed out from the intersection.

"Leave the transporter behind!"

There were quite a few robbers, and they rushed into the cave where the transport team was located with guns and shouted loudly.

But before the leader could reach the cargo, a big white dog rushed towards him like a cannonball and bit his thigh.

Before the leading robber could even shout, he suddenly felt his mind filled with confused thoughts, so he simply gave up everything he was doing, sat down where he was and began to think.

However, he didn't think for long, as Henrik of Sequence 8 shot him in the head.

With an experienced Beyonder, a strange three-legged white dog, and some miscellaneous laborers, the robbers were quickly wiped out.

The workers did not react to the robbers' deaths, but the dark-haired young man, Kerridge, was somewhat touched, even though he had just shot and killed one or two of them.

"Alas, this is the underground city... Even after staying here for a few months, I still can't get used to these scenes..."

While muttering to himself, Kerridge walked towards the big white dog named Sota and started to make some moves.

"Wow, what you just did was amazing! Hey! Captain Henrik, can we take Sota with us?"

"No, I won't allow you to bring a dog of unknown origin into the transport team."

"But you clearly saw it, it's just a big, well-behaved dog. It has no hostility towards us, and it helped us fight the robbers and even saved my life!"

"no!"

"But it just saved me!"

Henrik wanted to turn around and scold this kid who didn't know the dangers of the world, but he was stunned. He was facing the corpse of a robber, but the corpse's eyes suddenly showed a golden light.

"You will agree to take Sota away."

Henrik was suddenly in a trance for a moment, then he came to his senses and turned around as if nothing had happened.

"Uh...Okay! Kerrich, I'm convinced by you. But I have to say this first. If this dog causes any damage to the team, I will settle the score with you!"

"Great!"

Kerrich rubbed Sota's dog face vigorously with excitement.

"Kerich Andu, I used to be a programmer, nice to meet you!"

******

After the transport team had gone far away, Susie crawled out from the pile of corpses.

Susie caught these ordinary robbers in a small den. She simply hypnotized them and sent them over to rob.

A sudden accident, a bloody common battle, and even a life-saving one.

Such a deep bond is enough for Sota to live a stable life.

Taking another look at the direction the transport team left, Susie sighed, turned around and left in the opposite direction.

That's all I can do.
