Chapter 1212 Suspicion
Since he had never seen any worker responsible for maintenance on the chain, Han Dong privately sent a message to inquire about the situation.
"Ms. Chen, what exactly does the bottom-level [locking worker] do?"
"I don't know either... Maybe I'll know it just by going down there.
I also only know that those who fail the entry test or commit a serious crime will be demoted to lock workers and will be sent directly to the dragon boat. It is unknown what they do."
This answer made Han Dong stunned.
The locker is a kind of person who does not even have the qualifications to live, and the lowest level of stamina... The high-ranking Fangshi Long Jing, who is in a high position, does not know what this lowest-level laborer does.
No matter what kind of social system it is placed in, it doesn't make sense.
"Well, I hope I can find the answer below."
After walking vertically for a full hour, I finally saw the ground area.
"That's... a barracks?"
With the position where the chain falls as the center, it radiates outward by one thousand meters.
A barracks of similar size to a certain sub-district in the Corpse Kingdom were built - a fully metal barracks created using the highest technology, like a huge fortress, as solid as a soul.
Also, it should be noted.
In addition to the main center chain corresponding to the corpse country, the chains corresponding to the floating islands around are also connected to areas near the barracks, with a distance of no more than 500 meters.
There is also an airport about 100 meters high inside the barracks, which is specially designed to receive dragon boats carrying "lockers".
When all the staff arrived at the barracks.
The military academy explained the situation to the person in charge here. Chen Xinying, a special visitor, was no longer subject to any restraint. She could move freely or even leave the barracks at will and go to the demon realm.
What's weird is.
Even in the barracks, Han Dong still did not find any zombie suspected of locking workers.
It seems that after the dragon boat carried them to the barracks, they were sent directly to a certain area through a special passage to work, and they would not appear in the barracks at all.
At the same time, according to Han Dong's observation, the "characteristics" of the [barracks] are also visible.
Not all soldiers who are active in the barracks are under the management of the Ministry of War and need to suppress a certain monster.
There are also many "free people" affiliated to the Ministry of War... to be precise, they should be a group of "merchantists".
It can be clearly seen from the business circle in the barracks that this kind of "businessman" who came to the lower level by the Ministry of War is very strong.
Businessmen are roughly divided into two categories.
1. "Hunter": This group is good at shackles and usually uses the method of capturing alive to bring back some monster cubs, or easy-to-taste mounts, or even humanoid monsters that can be sold at high prices in the slave market.
2. "Treasure Hunters": This group is often strong, with at least one black zombie in charge.
It is mainly responsible for killing rare monsters, dismantling their entire bodies and selling them separately, such as fur, teeth, eyeballs, etc., or going to the more dangerous monster nests to find the treasures in it.
Since the Ministry of War is in charge of everything here, any "commodities" produced by the Ministry of War will naturally get a share of the pie, resulting in the items related to monsters in the corpse country being relatively expensive.
...
Chen Xinying soon met with the acquaintances she had talked about before.
This "acquaintance" also holds a certain position in the barracks, responsible for the management and supply of military pay, and is a reserve worker... While he is relatively leisurely, he can often inquire about some front-line information.
After a simple communication.
The other party directly gave a relatively rough map and marked the location of the incident.
The information comes from a treasure hunting team.
This team originally identified a secret demon cave. When they were about to go to find the treasures in it... they found that the monsters in the nest were basically dead, and without exception they were frozen to death.
The demon cave is about 130 miles away from the barracks and is located in the gully of the ridge mountain to the west.
"Ms. Chen, do you need help?
I can arrange a treasure hunting team with good strength for you. Anyway, your purpose is to capture ['Frozen Bone' Luo Gaocheng], and they only need to get the secret treasures in the demon cave."
"No need, I want to solve this problem by myself and just prepare a vehicle for us."
"Okay."
After a while.
A steam-powered coffin cart drove out of the barracks.
The so-called coffin car is a steam-powered car with a casing in a coffin. The yin energy dispersed in the car can keep the zombie in the best condition during the ride.
Han Dong, who was sleeping in the coffin car, looked puzzled and said softly:
"The so-called demon realm is not as dangerous as imagined.
The all-metal barracks facing the chains are as solid as a soul? The soldiers guarding the outside of the barracks do not have any nervous expressions? Instead, they are very limited.
It is enough to show that the barracks will basically not be attacked by monsters.
Not to mention? The Ministry of War also monopolized the "monster beast goods" through privileges and allowed a large number of teams to go out to hunt and hunt treasures.
This is completely inconsistent with the "deeds of the State of Corpse" I heard about.
I remember Zhang Xiliang, what you said, 'Because of the threat from monsters? Humans are forced to implement the "Corpse Transformation Order" and the "Corpse Reform"? Let the city-state and surrounding islands float in the air to avoid the threat of monsters'"
Zhang Xiliang, who was also lying in the coffin car, immediately responded: "Mr. Han, I heard this since I was a child... and? Any residents in the country know about it."
Chen Xinying, who was traveling with her, also nodded? She was sure of this statement.
"I heard since I was a child? Everyone knows it?
Then where did you hear it from childhood? Elders... or is this concept? It was engraved in your head from the beginning?"
Han Dong was stunned by this question.
When Zhang Xiliang tried to recall, he always felt that the worldview in his mind seemed to exist all the time? He was born with consciousness.
"Maybe when you have a corpse, the relevant concepts are implanted into your head... Of course, it's just my guess, don't take it to heart.
It’s better to focus on the pursuit of repeated offenders.”
Due to the particularity of the coffin cart, it is unobstructed along the way.
Arriving at the gully marked on the map? Even the so-called [demon] is not present nearby.
The entrance to the demon cave is filled with rocks and is airtight.
A stack of white talisman paper was thrown out from Chen Xinying's hands? When the talisman paper was pasted on the surface of the rock? These heavy and huge rocks immediately became lighter than plastic? They could be easily moved away with the power of ordinary people.
As the rocks were removed from the hole were blocked, the biting cold wind immediately overflowed from the inside, and even some ice crystals formed on their bodies.
This indirectly increases the possibility that Luo Gaocheng would hide inside.
When you feel this chill, an inexplicable hatred expression appeared on Chen Xinying's face, and you can only suppress your emotions by cigarettes.
Han Dong also noticed such a change in expression, but never asked Chen Xinying about the reason for her "hate".
"So awesome!?"
After stepping into the demon cave for a moment, even Han Dong was stunned.
The inside of the cave is like an ice cellar, with a layer of ice crystals of varying thicknesses on the surface of the rock layer. The monsters who once lived here were absolutely frozen and turned into part of the cave.
Chapter completed!
