Chapter 5 About the Grudges of the Predecessor Compared to the surprise on Shen Mu's face, Geng Jun's heart was even more shocked. After the two introduced their names to each other, Geng Jun also had some emotion on his face: "I can't believe it. Yesterday, when I saw the little brother coming here for the first time, I thought he was just one person, just a lone wolf, but I didn't expect it was a lion group." This is said in a humorous way, and also expresses kind thoughts. "Thank you for the compliment." Shen Mu just smiled calmly without explaining too much. Instead, he looked at the two jackals from the spirit world behind Geng Jun, who were about meters tall, hunched over, and slightly shorter than adult men, with even more amazement. These creatures are the natives from the spirit world, wanderers who were scattered on the blue planet because the crystal wall system of the spirit world collapsed. As long as you have the mark of the spiritual world, you can gain their loyalty and help fight against the undead monsters in the darkness. It seemed that she noticed Shen Mu's gaze towards her. The two gnolls also raised their ferocious heads, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and stretched out their pale pink tongues to lick the rusty scimitar.
Looks quite ferocious and violent. The master of these two jackals, Geng Jun, was also observing the 15 Swadian recruits around Shen Mu. Looking at these relatively thin guys, wearing gray-black cloth robes, and mostly holding simple weapons such as long-handled sickles and one-handed axes that are more like farm tools, as well as tattered wooden shields, they are obviously human guys, and there is even some recognition in their eyes. Geng Jun said with emotion: "Brother Shen is very lucky to have gained the loyalty of so many people from the spiritual world." "Just lucky." Shen Mu nodded. Of course, he couldn't say that this was a reward from the Mount and Blade system, rather than a gift from the mark of the spiritual world. This is fundamentally different from the werewolf possessed by the guy in front of him named Geng Jun. "If the Diesel Company knew that I offended you, Brother Shen, last time, I'm afraid I would regret it now." After a brief chat, Geng Jun seemed to have thought of something and curled his lips sarcastically: "You dare to snatch other people's spiritual world marks just by relying on the large number of people in your company. I know that you will hit a wall sooner or later." "..." Shen Mu frowned slightly at this time, and the remaining memories from his previous life in his head also flooded out. "But Brother Shen, this place is quite far away from the Diesel Company. It's on the edge of the Diesel Company's influence. Even though there are grudges between them, you'd better not provoke them." Geng Jun comforted him with a few words. "I understand." Shen Mu's expression was a little complicated at this time, because he remembered the reason why his previous life committed suicide. "Okay, Brother Shen, I won't bother you cleaning this floor, but I'll just remind you to be careful of those apartment rooms that haven't been opened yet. Maybe they have thick curtains drawn inside to block out the light." Geng Jun didn't continue chatting and prepared to leave. But before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm on the second floor, Room 2101 near the elevator. The entire second floor is my territory, so I'm considered a neighbor." "There are several ordinary families living on the third and fourth floors. We can take care of them if they have any problems." "As for the fifth floor, there is a weird person with nine halflings under her command. She can produce delicious dried mushrooms and dried earthworms. Eating them will make you feel fuller than the local food on Blue Star, and it can also restore your physical strength. But she has a weird personality, so don't bother her if you have nothing to do." "I understand, thanks for the reminder." Shen Mu nodded in thanks. Then he watched Geng Jun leave.
"On the fifth floor, there are halflings and weirdos who can produce food with special healing effects." Shen Mu repeated these words softly. This is indeed good information. However, Shen Mu also looked towards the west at this time, his face slightly gloomy: "Diesel Company." He muttered the name slowly. In his mind, from the remaining memories of his previous life, a deep-rooted sense of hatred permeated his body and mind. Because my predecessor was really angry, aggrieved, and also extremely frustrated! "The day before yesterday, my predecessor found a spiritual mark in a basement. It seems that after activating it, it can also gain the loyalty of spiritual creatures." "But I never expected that after my previous incarnation obtained the mark of the spiritual world, it was discovered by the people from the Diesel Company." "There is no other way, I can only hand it over." "After returning, my former self was so angry and felt aggrieved by his own behavior that he slit his wrists and committed suicide." Shen Mu curled his lips. This was the last obsession of his predecessor. I also understood why I felt something was wrong when I heard the name of the diesel company. "Take your time. I will avenge you." Shen Mu touched his heart which was beating faster, as a way of comforting and promising. Gripping the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "Okay, guys, it's time for us to act now." He turned his head to look at the Swadian recruits beside him who were still on guard and holding their scythes tightly even after the two gnolls left. These are his confidence! "action!" Shen Mu waved his hand and began to lead them to open the doors of rooms throughout the apartment building and search for supplies. Maybe it's also because the rooms are all old-style apartment buildings. Most of them are ordinary doors. If it was a security door in a high-end community, they might not be able to open many of them even if they tried their best. Oh, this had a lot to do with Shen Mu's predecessor's ability to pry open such cheap ordinary security doors with wire. "Crack." Shen Mu used seven or eight seconds of concentration to pry open another security door. "Rustle!" But the sound coming from inside was not very good. "There is a situation." The Swadian recruits, who were well prepared, raised their long-handled scythes and pointed the sharp tips of the scythes at the crack in the door. Just as Shen Mu grasped the door handle and confirmed that the sound came from behind the door. He glanced back.
The ready Swadian recruits nodded to him. "on!" Then Shen Mu directly pulled the door handle and pulled the entire security door outwards. Then he bent down slightly, concentrated all his strength in his arms, and then raised the long-handled sickle in his hand and stabbed it fiercely at the darkness inside the open door! "Poof!" The sound of the flesh entering appeared instantly. "Gah!" Then there were angry howls. At the same time, out of the darkness there came the sound of flapping wings, with sharp cries and collisions, and a stench of sulfur. "Kill!" But the Swadian recruits showed no fear at all and waved their swords repeatedly at the long-handled scythes that were stabbing towards them. And taking advantage of the dim light after opening the door, he rushed straight into the apartment! In the narrow space, the sickle blade swung with a cold glow. The seemingly simple broken wooden shield was pushed up again. And the one-handed axe in his hand. In less than two or three minutes, the flapping of wings and the wailing and screaming sounds inside disappeared. Then there was a 'rustling' sound and the sound of the curtains being opened. Light shines in from the window. The darkness and gray fog suddenly dissipated, and were completely cleared out in this apartment which was also about 30 square meters. When Shen Mu came in, there were already seven or eight creatures lying on the ground. They were about the size of eight or nine-year-old children. They were dark red in color, with black horns the size of little fingers on their heads, bat wings behind them, and grinning like little devils. The 15 Swadian recruits were all standing there intact at this time, only the two recruits in the front had a few blood marks on their faces. There were a few unlucky recruits whose clothes were torn to pieces, and their robes were stained red with blood. The losses in this battle were all minor skin injuries. “Little devil.” Shen Mu recognized the name of this monster. At the same time, he was somewhat relieved: "They are not other demonic monsters, but just some low-level little demons." No one knows what kind of undead monsters will be born in the darkness and gray fog. There are strong and weak. There are as many as there are. But they are all extremely dangerous for ordinary people! As the sunlight shone in, the bodies of the little demons that had been killed by the Swadian recruits began to dissipate into black smoke.
It was like a pile of snow being evaporated in an oven. Whether it was blood, flesh, or bones, they all turned into black smoke and completely disappeared. Only in the corners of the apartment were there a number of scattered dry bones, some slender and some thick, all covered with tiny teeth marks. Shen Mu was silent. He knew that these bones were the bones of the natives of Blue Star. There is no need to say what the outcome was. "Search and see if there are any supplies." Shen Mu retracted his gaze and waved his hand behind him, saying, "Pack up all the bedding and wood and send them all back to our room." "Understood." The Swadian recruits responded and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. They were all ownerless, so of course they took them at will. But during this period of time, Shen Mu looked at the dialog box that appeared on his retina. [Ding! Congratulations! Your troops won a battle! ] [You have soldiers that can be upgraded! ] (End of this chapter)
