Chapter 68 You Guys Disappoint Me
The next day, Su Mu took office as the head of the intelligence department of Bronze Coffin Company, in charge of the intelligence department.
He also met the official employees of Bronze Coffin, a total of ten people except himself and Yang Dongqing.
It is worth mentioning that although these ten people are nightmare apostles, they are also ordinary people.
The third floor underground of Bronze Coffin is a spacious underground base. Above is the office building of Bronze Coffin to accommodate ordinary employees who handle daily affairs, and the underground is the core, where the nightmare apostles gather.
"Minister Su, these ten are all the nightmare apostles of Bronze Coffin at present. There were some before, but they have been lost in the nightmare world." Murong Mengli introduced.
"Everyone, Mr. Su Mu is the new head of the intelligence department of Bronze Coffin, and he is also a powerful extraordinary person. Mr. Yang Dongqing next to him is also an extraordinary person."
Su Mu leaned on the snake wood cane and calmly looked at the ten nightmare apostles in front of him.
Seven men and three women, all wearing different clothes, some bright and beautiful, some ordinary, the only thing in common is probably the uneasiness and panic between their brows.
This is the reaction that normal people should have when experiencing the nightmare world.
The ten people introduced their names one by one, and when they introduced themselves, their eyes could not help but look at Su Mu, obviously they were a little curious about this airborne extraordinary minister.
Then, Murong Mengli said the purpose of summoning everyone.
"This time, I summoned everyone here not only to introduce Minister Su and Mr. Yang, but also to do something important. I decided to form a team to explore the abandoned city area in two days."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little agitated, some frowned, and some looked terrified.
Abandoned city area?
Su Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the information about the abandoned city area flashed in his mind. He controlled the Viper Gang, and his information network was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people, including information about the abandoned city area.
Xingcheng is divided into 20 districts, one to ten are the upper city area, and eleven to twenty are the lower city area. In fact, a long time ago, Xingcheng was not 20 districts, but 21!
Rumor has it that more than ten years ago, a plague broke out, causing almost all the people in District 21 to die. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the empire ordered the blockade of District 21. Over time, District 21 disappeared from people's sight and became a wasteland.
"The wasteland is full of plague. Isn't it sending us to death to explore such a ghost place?" A woman with heavy makeup on her face said with a slightly excited look.
"Yes, what is there to explore in that ghost place?"
"We joined the bronze coffin to find a way to deal with the nightmare world, not to die in vain!"
Everyone agreed, obviously not optimistic about Murong Mengli's decision. Su Mu also noticed that Murong Mengli didn't seem to have a high prestige among these people.
Soon he thought of Han Yu. When he invited himself and Yang Dongqing before, Han Yu obviously deliberately interfered. These people might have been secretly instigated by Han Yu.
Facing the doubts of the crowd, the noble lady did not show any anger on her face, and still said calmly: "The plague is the empire's external statement. The real situation is that the nightmare invasion caused the 21st district to become a ruin. The nightmare that caused the rebellion has been killed by the empire's high-level officials, but because the place has been polluted by nightmares and has become unsuitable for human habitation, it has gradually become deserted.
In fact, it is not completely deserted there. There are still scavengers, fugitives, or people hiding from their enemies."
"That's also very dangerous. Who knows if there are any remaining nightmare monsters in there?" A sturdy man with tattoos shouted.
When mentioning nightmare monsters, everyone's faces turned pale involuntarily, and they obviously remembered the terrifying memories of the past.
"One million." Murong Mengli raised a slender white finger.
This word seemed to have some kind of magical power, and the scene fell into silence in an instant.
"Everyone who participates in this exploration mission will receive one million. If there are casualties, the company will provide double compensation to your family."
Everyone had different expressions. Some had a flash of heat in their eyes, while others showed hesitation. Money has always been attractive to people. When they became nightmare apostles, they knew they would not live long, so they might as well make more money, either to spend it on wine and women or to leave it to their families. This was also one of the purposes of joining the company.
Su Mu sighed slightly. The nobles were rich. One million per person, and these ten people were ten million, not counting the appearance fees of himself and Yang Dongqing, two extraordinary people.
Although he controlled a Viper Gang, the actual available funds were only about ten million, and they could earn more than ten million for a mission.
Even Yang Dongqing was moved by this number. Today, Yang Dongqing had already changed into a fashionable new outfit, a loose graffiti-printed T-shirt, a black leather jacket, white ripped tights, revealing his knees, and a pair of white high-top sneakers on his feet. The shoelaces were fluorescent green, which was particularly eye-catching.
He bought this outfit last night, spending one-tenth of his total savings! Then he used the remaining nine-tenths to buy a backpack-revealing hip skirt for Jasmine. At this time, he was short of money and his heart beat wildly when he heard one million.
How many clothes can this buy for Jasmine! ?
However, he, who came from the lower city, obviously underestimated the greed of human nature.
The man with the flower arm suddenly said, "I know the abandoned city area. The people there are all ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye, and there are still many remaining nightmare monsters. The danger is no less than the nightmare world. Wanting us to explore is equivalent to sending ourselves to death!"
Murong Mengli frowned slightly: "I'm not forcing you. This mission is entirely voluntary. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
The man with tattooed arms shook his head: "It's not that I won't go, I mean... I have to pay more!"
"Yes! Pay more!"
"I can already feel the call of the next nightmare world. I may enter the nightmare world at any time. I need enough money to buy treasures! I have to pay more!" The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, gold-rimmed glasses and a bald head. He was the most emotional among the people present, and the fear between his eyebrows was lingering.
"How much do you want?" Murong Mengli said coldly.
"Two million! Pay first and work later!"
"I want three million!" The man with tattooed arms said with a big mouth: "I have been to the abandoned city area. I am more experienced than them, so the price is higher!"
Some people were unwilling: "We are all nightmare apostles. Why is your price high? Otherwise, everyone will pay three million!"
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more out of control, Murong Mengli couldn't help but feel a headache. The status of a noble could not suppress these dying people. Anyway, they were going to die and didn't care about anything.
Bang!
The sound of a wooden stick hitting the floor sounded. The sound was not loud, but it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The chaotic scene became strangely quiet, and the ten nightmare apostles looked at Su Mu involuntarily.
Su Mu placed his hands on the snake-grained wooden cane, and his brown glasses slowly swept over the crowd, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"My colleagues, you disappoint me."
There was a hint of disappointment in his calm tone, like a respected teacher reprimanding a naughty student.
