Ye An

Chapter 159 Betrayal

People from Jincheng are good at smelting and forging. Just like Haicheng back then, they have almost monopolized the manufacture of modified cars.

For people living in the city, mineral deposits are the foundation of their foothold.If you want to secure the throne of the city lord, you don't need to be the strongest in battle, but it is necessary to be able to find mineral deposits and lead others to mine them.

The successive lords of Jincheng City were all related by blood, and the method of raising pandas was passed down from generation to generation without any mistakes.

Jincheng people have long been used to this way of inheritance.Even if the rights are closed, it will not hinder the development of Jincheng.Jincheng has accumulated a lot of wealth while continuously using mineral deposits to manufacture modified cars and perfecting every detail and part.

Different from other cities, although Jincheng has a hunting team, it seldom goes out to hunt.The main role of this team is to defend the mountain as a city and transport mineral deposits, to provide protection for the caravans when necessary, and to monitor the other side, and to expel them immediately if something is wrong.

Zhao Weng's convoy will go to Jincheng every once in a while.

The convoy he led traveled the wilderness all the year round, and would inevitably be attacked by mutant beasts, and the body parts were greatly worn out.In order to ensure the safety of the convoy, there will be no accidents in the middle, even if the Jincheng people will speak loudly, Zhao Weng will not blink his eyes.As long as the modified car is strong enough and the people in the car are safe enough, he is willing to pay a high price.

In contrast, other caravans and city teams have many dissatisfaction.In particular, Jincheng has repeatedly raised the prices of modified cars and some special weapons, making it difficult for them to accept.

However, it is a seller's market. They can complain or be dissatisfied. Unless they don't want to change the modified car, they have to pay for it obediently.

The father of Xiaoxiao and Dingxiang is a mutant, and like Dingxiang, he can turn parts of his body into metal.

Ding Xiang was selected as the successor from an early age and received strict education.Michelle is not the case. She has no supernatural powers, and she doesn't need to shoulder more responsibilities. Coupled with the protection of her parents, she has developed a proud and stubborn character day after day.

If there is no accident in Jincheng, her life will always be smooth, and she will never experience the pain of losing her loved ones.The appearance of Gerald broke the trajectory of her life that she should have had, and the hypocritical love network woven with sweet words made her fall and make irreparable mistakes.

"Gerald used to be part of the hunting party."

"He was not born in Jincheng, he was a homeless person before. No, he had joined a caravan before that, and tried every means to escape from the caravan. He said that the members of the caravan framed him maliciously. Looking at it now, everything It's all lies."

Han Xiao's voice was hoarse, revealing a strong hatred.

Ding Xiang's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, and her palm is covered with a smiling arm. The simple movement consumes a lot of her strength.

When it comes to Gerald, Michelle can't stabilize his mood for a while, Ding Xiang can only cheer up and continue to speak instead of her.

"New mines were discovered in the city, and a large number of people were needed to mine and transport the ore. As usual, my father sent someone to send a message to summon the settlers who were attached to Jincheng. Gerald came with a team of settlers. At that time, his origin It hasn't been debunked yet..."

When Ding Xiang said this, she stopped suddenly, not on purpose, but interrupted by a violent cough.

Seeing her situation, Ye An handed over the snapping turtle shell that still had energy, and motioned her to absorb some of it.After Lilac's condition stabilized, she took back the snapping tortoise shell.

Ding Xiang thanked Ye An, and began to think about whether he could exchange a snapping tortoise shell from Ye An.As long as Ye An proposes the specific price, she is willing to pay if she can do it.

Instead of thanking, Hanxiao was very dissatisfied with Ye An's actions.

"Why?" With a smile, he pulled Ding Xiang's hand down, ignoring her obstruction, and resentfully said, "Why are you so stingy and can't give this to my sister? Could it be on purpose?!"

Before Ye An could speak, Kapok couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed the collar of Xiaoxiao, and approached her face, his face was full of anger.

"What qualifications do you have to blame the adults? It is the adults who saved you and your sister! If it wasn't for the adults, you would freeze to death if you didn't drown!"

"I don't care what your status was before, let alone mutants, even if you are the Lord of Jincheng, you can't talk to adults like that, do you understand what I mean?"

When Mu Mian spoke, the cold blade pressed against Hanxiao's neck, and she could cut open her blood vessels just half an inch forward, allowing the blade to drink fresh blood.

"Sorry, my sister is just worried about me, she didn't mean it." Ding Xiang said quickly, apologizing instead of smiling, and at the same time tugged her arm vigorously.

She felt that there was something wrong with smiling.

She knew her sister well, and her smile was indeed a little proud and willful, even a little naive, otherwise she wouldn't have been fooled by Gerald's rhetoric and did something to lure wolves into the house.But where are they now?Fugitives are precarious, even inferior to wanderers, what qualifications do they have to be proud?

Before falling into the water, Hanxiao's behavior had always been normal, it was really wrong to be so unreasonable like now.This is not like her, at least not like her who fled with him!

After being reminded by Ding Xiang, Hanxiao quickly reacted, realizing what she had just done, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

How can she be so stupid? !

Ye An stared at the two sisters for a moment, then suddenly lowered his gaze, and picked up the panda lying on his lap.

Putting his hands under the panda's armpit, his eyes met those black eyes, and with the assimilation of his thoughts, Ye An finally determined that the reason why Hanxiao behaved so outrageously was inseparable from this panda.

The attack on Kapok and the hostility towards Ye An when she just woke up were indeed from her own will.Although she doesn't look very smart, it is not difficult to understand based on her growth environment and encounters.What he blurted out just now was clearly intended to annoy Ye An.If it were someone with a bad temper, they would have thrown the two sisters out long ago, leaving them to fend for themselves in the ice and snow.

After figuring out these joints, Ye An continued to deepen his connection with the panda, and found that this little guy was far smarter than himself. When he first met, it was clearly a deliberate disguise to make him relax his vigilance.

Its real ability is to attract the smile's emotions.

It doesn't seem to like the sisters at all, and even hates them very much.What happened to the call for help before?

The panda could feel Ye An's oppression on him, and being unable to resist, he could only obediently lie on Ye An's lap, like a furry toy, spread his limbs, and rubbed his forehead on the back of Ye An's hand.

Finding that the other party no longer resisted, Ye An further excavated the panda's memory, being very careful in the process, trying not to cause discomfort to it.

After a while, Ye An raised his head to look at Hanxiao and Dingxiang sisters, his expression was clueless, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

They even fed medicine to the panda and controlled it with a drug similar to hallucinogens!

Pandas in Jincheng are raised from infancy, using potions as a means to make them succumb as they grow up, and become tools and puppets of Jincheng people.

It's a pity that Ding Xiang's father died unexpectedly, and he didn't have time to tell his daughter the most important secret.Ding Xiang didn't know what was going on, so he escaped from Jincheng with Han Xiao, consumed the panda rations with medicine, and never gave medicine to the panda again.

Day after day, as the medicine in the body was gradually discharged, the panda began to get out of control.As an intelligent mutant beast, it was already smart, so naturally it no longer had the familiarity with Michelle and Dingxiang.

What's worse, in order not to leave a panda for Gerald, before leaving the city, Ding Xiang and Han Xiao killed the adult panda that could not be taken away, including the mother of the little panda.

The little panda didn't react at that time, but now it is different.

Ye An was [-]% sure that the little guy asked Bone Fish to rescue them, not because he really wanted to save people, but because he wanted to kill them himself.Before Lilac was in crisis, it asked Ye An for help. Ye An couldn't understand this, and assimilated its emotions, he found that the little guy was also very contradictory.

This way of thinking has been separated from the mutant beast, and its intelligence is beyond imagination.

"Continue, talk about Gerald." Ye An lowered his eyes, his voice was calm and unwavering, he held the panda in his arms, and squeezed the round ears.

Hanxiao sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he didn't speak again. Ding Xiang barely sat up, leaned on Hanxiao, and continued: "At that time, the city was recruiting miners, and Gerald came with a team from the settlement..."

Gerald was very smart. He knew that if he went to the Golden City alone, the people in the city would definitely drive him away, so he did everything possible to join a team in a settlement, and promised to the team leader that once he could enter the city, he would share the rewards. half.

The team leader was persuaded, and Gerald successfully joined the team of miners and spent half a year digging and transporting ore.

After the mining work was completed, he defected to Jincheng as a settler and joined the hunting team.In the next three years, Gerrard continued to climb up with his extraordinary ability, and successfully occupied the position of vice-captain of the hunting team.

In the year when he became the vice captain, he had the opportunity to escort Hanxiao and Dingxiang out of the city, and got to know the pair of sisters.

It was also in this year that the caravan that once took him in came to Jincheng and exposed his identity.

The members of the caravan told the Lord of Jincheng that Gerald was an out-and-out liar.He betrayed the caravan that took him in, seized the position of the leader and failed to avenge his kindness, and attracted outsiders to attack the caravan, causing irreparable losses to the caravan, and only a few people survived.

"He played so well at the time, no one would have guessed that he was cheating from start to finish."

"If it wasn't my sister..." Ding Xiang looked at Hanxiao, but she didn't tell what Hanxiao did, but passed her and revealed the secret that Gerald had carefully hidden.

In fact, at that time, the city owner of Jincheng had already had doubts about Gerrard, so it was Hanxiao who vouched for him and drove the caravan out of the city, preventing them from entering Jincheng again.

"You said he might be a mutant?" Ye An asked.

"I'm not sure. Neither my father nor I noticed anything unusual. If he hadn't shown amazing strength, we would still be kept in the dark." Ding Xiang replied.

Like Ding Xiang, the former Jincheng City Lord had incomplete mutation ability.They cannot improve their abilities, and they are also lacking in perception.

Ye An couldn't help frowning.

Powerful?

The power of mutants is beyond ordinary people. If Gerrard is a power mutant, how strong will he be?

Interrupted by Ye An in the middle, Ding Xiang didn't speak down in a hurry. Recalling the situation at that time, it was far more than just a smile who was deceived!

Gerald was really good at disguising, he hardly spoke the truth, but he was naturally charismatic. When her father realized the critical situation and tried to restore it, the hunting team had been bribed, and only Gerald followed suit.

Michelle also seemed to be possessed by a demon, she no longer listened to her family's advice, she wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, and even told him the secret she knew.

She thought that what she said was just a trivial matter, but she didn't know it at all. With these clues, Gerald began to grasp the most important secret of Jincheng.

The pace of betrayal is getting faster and faster.

Finally, on a cold snowy night, Gerald led the rebellious hunting team into the Santo's Mansion. Except for the two sisters, everyone in the Santo's Mansion fell in a pool of blood, not even the nine-year-old who cleaned up the weapons for Lilac. Disaster.

That night, the entire City Lord's Mansion was stained red with blood.
