MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 155 Zombie Exhibition Hall (Part 1)

  The crystalline brain nuclei danced on the table, tinkling, and pearls fell on the jade plate.

The sound of    inhalation came one after another, and in an instant Cheng Xu and his five team members who were around the table forgot to breathe.

The brain nuclei of ordinary zombies are only the size of a fingernail, and each of these brain nuclei on the table is at least three times that. Know what it means: it's all mutant brain nuclei!

   Eleven brain nuclei, which means that this unremarkable guy in front of him killed at least eleven mutants! What is this concept? Even a leader in a corpse-hunting team like the Rising Sun Squad, who wants to kill a single mutant, has to prepare all kinds of traps and tactics. This person can hunt so many mutants alone? Fortunately, he didn't anger him just now.

  Cheng Xu swallowed and asked softly, "Awakened?"

Hou Jie didn't know how to respond, so he didn't speak at all, Cheng Xu took it as his acquiescence, laughed a few times awkwardly, and said, "It turns out that Mr. Hou is a powerful Awakener, and I am a little brother, haha, Mr. Hou do not mind."

   At this time, the title has also changed. It is no longer Brother Hou, but Mr. Hou. He even changed his self-proclaimed name to younger brother. It seems that Cheng Xu is older than Hou Jie, but in the current world, it is indeed necessary to rank according to strength.

   "What's wrong with Captain Cheng? I also want to thank Captain Cheng for inviting me to drink." Hou Jie enjoyed the pleasure of pretending for a while, and immediately waved his hand humbly.

   "No no, it is our honor that Mr. Hou is willing to have a drink with us." Cheng Xu's face turned even redder. He was thinking: Since Hou Jie is an Awakener, he doesn't seem to dislike himself and the corpse hunter, and he has just arrived at the Star of Hope, if he can hug this thigh and pull him into the team, he will make a few more votes. , for some advanced equipment, Rising Sun will soon become a quasi-S-rank team.

The idea of ​​   made Cheng Xu excited, but Hou Jie's reply poured cold water on him.

"Sorry, Captain Cheng, because I won't necessarily stay here for a long time, so I want to think about it again." Seeing that none of them reached out for the brain core, Hou Jie asked strangely, "Why, these brain cores are for you guys. Is it worthless?"

   "That's not true." Cheng Xu said in a muffled voice, how could it be worthless, but not as valuable as you.

  Although the Yuanjiao Association has issued several announcements advocating that residents do not accept brain nuclei as currency, the black market is just as hot as the brain core transactions, and even the Yuanjiao Association will send people to the black market to purchase mutant brain cores at high prices from time to time.

   Not only that, but there are also people who use rune bracelets, which consume brain cores. Sometimes it is not the best choice to go to the remote rescue and exchange them. Going to the black market to find opportunities may be able to meet the bad guys who urgently need money to sell brain cores.

   There are also those who are in a hurry to advance to the team level or professional level, they will also buy brain cores in the black market and hand them over to the Hunter Guild to increase their points and evaluation. In short, in the black market, brain cores, like all kinds of banned high-power killing weapons, are in demand.

   "Then ask Captain Cheng to accept it!" Hou Jie pushed the brain nucleus towards Cheng Xu with his hands.

Cheng Xu still didn't reach out, but his teammates couldn't help it. They laughed and held their brain cores tightly in their pockets, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Hou." Said that Jiang was still old and hot, they didn't see what was special about Hou Jie before.

   "By the way, Captain Cheng, I want to ask you something." Hou Jie asked his own question after seeing the other party accepting the brain core.

  Eating people is soft-mouthed, taking people's hands short, and taking people's brain cores, Cheng Xu naturally couldn't be perfunctory, nodded and said, "Everything you know, there is nothing you can say."

   "I want to know, Jiangxin Island, uh, the Star of Hope, besides the monument, is there any place that is particularly famous and important, or is it particularly easy to attract the attention of the senior officials of the Yuanjiao Society?"

  Cheng Xu glanced at Hou Jie strangely, then withdrew his gaze before Hou Jie noticed it, and lowered his head as if thinking.

   "I just came here, I just wanted to take a look around. It's similar to traveling. I want to see famous places first." Hou Jie realized that his words were careless, which caused suspicion, and added another sentence.

Cheng Xu then replied: "To talk about such a place, apart from the monument, there are only Jiusi Building and No. 1 Fortress. Jiusi Building is the office building of the Far Rescue Association, and No. 1 Fortress is the address of our corpse hunter's guild. Hou It might not be convenient for you to visit, but this place is more suitable." After speaking, Cheng Xu took out a pen and paper to write an address, then drew a simple but clear map and handed it to Hou Jie.

   In the next few hours, Hou Jie chatted with Cheng Xu and the others on various topics, and he gave out a lot of important information without any emotion.

   Until the sun rises again, the bright morning sun hangs overhead, and the splendid light dyes the sky red, Cheng Xu and others reluctantly wave goodbye to Hou Jie like a little girl saying goodbye to her lover.

   Hou Jie left a contact information with them, then left the bar and walked to the address painted by Cheng Xu.

   Hou Jie's body has been strengthened and his energy is strong. He has not slept for one night without any effect, and he is still in good spirits. Thinking of Cheng Xu's repeated remarks that it was a place that would definitely make him feel worthwhile, his eyes lit up and he was even more excited.

   What kind of place will this be? Will it bring another surprise?

   The steps were getting bigger and bigger, and the speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, Hou Jie kept the speed of an ordinary person sprinting with all his strength and ran all the way.

Far away from Qunying Street, far away from the crowd, almost far away from the entire settlement, I finally saw a small hill in front of me that had been eroded by the scorching sun and cold wind to the bare top of the hill. On the dry land behind the hill, there was a steel building standing. on it.

   "It's here." Hou Jie suddenly slowed down, let alone gasping for breath, he didn't even sweat a little, and he was calm.

   "Let me see what else surprises me in this place, Star of Hope."

   While talking to himself, he walked to the door of this steel building. Hou Jie raised his head and saw the large characters carved on the upper floor at first glance.

The big characters    pierced Hou Jie's eyes like a bullet, hit his heart, and completely shattered his sense of superiority.

   Zombie Exhibition Hall!

   At this moment, a family of three walked into the entrance. Hou Jie's eyesight and ears are far superior to ordinary people, he can see their appearance and hear their conversation.

   They appear to be a family of three, parents with children. The man looked forty years old, with his face in Chinese characters, very serious, while the woman smiled and looked softly, looking at their daughter like a bird on a sycamore tree, dancing and singing happily.

"Thank you dad for taking me to see the zombies. I want to take a lot of photos and show them to my classmates. They will definitely envy me. Humph, I love my dad the most!" The little girl jumped to the front and stood on tiptoe to kiss her father. , but the height difference is too large, and it can only touch his father's waist.

"Okay, okay, it's your birthday today." The stiff and rigid face of the Chinese character loosened, and the man reached out and rubbed the girl's head, "I'll buy you a cake in a while, let's say it first, I can't play too late today, Dad still There is work to be done.”

"En, I know that my father is a hero, just like other uncles and aunts of the Yuanjiao Society. It is because of your hard work that we can live a good life. The teacher taught us." The little girl nodded sensible, " I will be a sensible father, when we finish watching the zombies, you can be busy if you want, and it's good to have my mother with me."

"Baby is really sensible." The man bent down and kissed the girl, rubbed the girl's tofu-like little face with the stubble of his beard, and said with emotion, "I was spoiled by your mother before, and if I didn't buy a toy, I would cry on the ground. Rolling around, shy face, I didn't expect to be sensible and grown up."

"Oh, alright, alright, don't talk about it, what else do you want to talk about in the past, come in and see the zombies, I heard from the sister Wang next door that a batch of new breeds was caught two days ago." The woman patted the man's shoulders, pull up the girl's left hand, while the man pulls up the girl's right hand, the family of three seems to be enjoying what a wonderful family happiness, the expression is sweet and happy like eating a mouthful of toffee.

   "This, what the fuck, what is this?" Hou Jie stood there blankly, dumbfounded.
