Everyone went home and brought out some copper coins and silver coins, pooling them together.
The old man brought the money over.
The guard captain reached out to take it, counted the silver coins, and weighed the money bag filled with copper coins, then said, “Let them go.”
The villagers on the ground were released, all bearing marks of whipping, and were helped away by others.
The captain took out several notices from his pocket and threw them to the old man who had handed over the money, saying coldly, “These are the notices issued from above, two men and one woman, their heights and distinguishing features, keep an eye out for outsiders.”
The old man immediately picked them up, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
They had someone post the notices on the conspicuous wall of the square.
The notices bore no clear portraits, just silhouettes of cloaked figures of varying heights, along with skill characteristics.
After explaining everything,
the guards, along with the gang members, started to walk outside, followed by the villagers.
They walked messily to the village entrance only to see three men and one woman carrying firewood.
The guards and gang members' eyes narrowed, especially scrutinizing the woman several times.
“There are some that slipped through the net, test their levels, take any professionals above level 5,” the captain gestured to those behind him.
The faces of the following villagers turned grim.
Why did they come back at this time?
This was like walking right into a trap!
Hearing the command, some guards and gang members approached with a Crystal Stone for testing levels, “Hold it.”
The three had grim expressions but still held the Crystal Stone under duress.
Two were level 5, one was level 6.
The guards and gang members sneered, “There are some surprises.”
Then, they brought the Crystal Stone to the woman, “Hold this.”
Watching the Crystal Stone being handed over, Viola's gaze sharpened.
The three villagers who were thrown onto the firewood and were being detained spoke loudly, “She's not from the village, why are you arresting her?”
“She's from the city, you have no jurisdiction over her.”
From the city?
The captain suddenly looked up sharply, scanning her.
His gaze shifted slightly after glancing at the notice behind him.
He said, “If she's not from the village, let it be, it's not safe outside recently, don't wander around.”
“Thank you for the warning, sir,” Viola replied with a smile, then pulled out some silver coins, “This is their money.”
The captain collected the money, “Release them.”
The guards and gang members were startled, looking at him oddly.
Since when had the captain been so easy to talk to?
The three villagers were released.
The guards also promptly left.
After the guards left,
the villagers quickly gathered around, inquiring about the situation of the three.
Upon learning that they had met Viola on the road, they all looked puzzled.
The elder who had been speaking to the guards, presumably the village chief, forced a smile, “Thank you, miss, for your help, we will gather the money to repay you soon.”
Viola smiled and said, “I would like to rest in the village for one night, consider this as lodging fees.”
“A small place like this doesn't require that much.”
“Then, when I come back next time, you can repay me.”
The village chief, his face full of wrinkles, squeezed out a smile, “I'll go prepare a room for you to rest.”
“Good!”
Walking to the center of the village, the village chief prepared a separate room for her.
He also sent someone to prepare dinner.
After the villagers had left, Viola closed the door tightly, opened the window to look outside,
transformed into a puff of smoke, and flew right out.
In the dense forest.
Once out of sight of the village, the team left the road and headed directly through the dense forest.
The road was difficult, and as their speed increased, several lower-level gang members began to sweat profusely.
“Captain, why the hurry?” someone shouted.
“Let's get back early and split the money.”
The captain glanced back and picked up the pace again.
Reflecting on the woman at the village gate, he increasingly felt something was amiss.
This time they came,
it was said to be about catching villagers for the army, but in reality, it was to post notices in the villages.
Nilar City was attacked, and he heard that the casualties were severe.
These people, bullying ordinary villagers to squeeze out some money, might be okay.
But who would really want to catch those people?
Indeed, they didn't have the ability.
Only, the woman they met at the village entrance made him somewhat suspicious.
It couldn't be such a coincidence!
He hoped not.
Rustle~!
While talking, a sudden rustling sound came from behind.
Everyone stopped and looked back.
The next second, several beasts formed of smoke burst from the bushes and killed everyone.
Then, the smoke transformed back into 'Viola', who glanced at the bodies on the ground.
“My heart's troubled, your bad luck.”
She bent down, collected the money bags from the bodies, then rolled up the corpses and put them into her Space Ring.
Then once again turned into smoke and returned to the village.
In Zombie World's control room.
Loudly through the satellite phone, Li Yahong's voice came through, “Hello!”
“It's me, where are you?” Wu Heng asked.
“I'm at the central square, need me there?” Li Yahong responded directly.
Wu Heng looked at the time; if he waited for her, it would be night.
Plus, he still had to return to Otherworld and continue playing the role of the Second Prince, at least for a while, he needed to stay there.
“In a couple of days, I will come to see you.”
“That's fine.”
Wu Heng continued, “I have a question, are there still places in Xinfu City that need zombie cleaning?”
This operation, besides successfully killing the Second Prince, the greatest gain was the 'Phantom Train Ticketing Machine'.
Even though he had the 'Train Captain's Hat', the tickets generated by the machine could also be used by his subordinates.
