The toughest man in the city

Chapter 435

Chapter 435

In the hinterland of Central Asia, more than 2000 kilometers east of the city of Kurk, the yellow sand Gobi can't be seen everywhere.

The helicopter propeller drove a small piece of evil wind, and a nesting poisonous scorpion swung its tail and quickly burrowed into the ground.

As soon as Li Xiao jumped off the ground, before he could turn his head and wave goodbye, the helicopter quickly turned back, which made his hand in mid-air look quite awkward.

Well, waving goodbye is not a good sign for anyone on a dangerous mission, so forget about the details.

Li Xiao silently turned his head and looked up into the distance.

Ten kilometers ahead, there is a place called the ancient city of Kurk. The history there is definitely much longer than the Kurk trading market controlled by Li Xiao.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the ancient city of Kurk was also an important node on the Silk Road. It once owned countless porcelain and silk, and everyone was very rich.

But thousands of years have passed, and that ancient town is no longer what it used to be.

It is not even an exaggeration to use the word "ruins" to describe the ancient city of Kurk.

In the mission information Li Xiao received, it was quite clearly introduced that the environment in the ancient city of Kurk was harsh.

How bad is it?

Not a single blade of grass grows and supplies are scarce, those are trivial matters, but the most frightening thing is the constant wind and sand there all year round.

It is said that around the ancient city of Kurk, within 24 hours a day, [-] hours are always in a state of wind and sand, and only three hours before and after sunrise and three hours close to the early morning can you see the clear sky.

Just imagine, when people in other places get up early in the morning and take the bus to work, the people living there are sleeping in cellars.

While others ordered takeout for lunch, people there slept in the cellar.

When other people feast and feast, and pick up girls in bars, those people still sleep in the cellar.

Until other people have fun and go home to wash and sleep, the residents of the ancient city of Kurk can climb out of the cellar, take a breath of fresh air, look up at the night sky of the desert, sigh that the weather is good today, and then go back to the cellar sleep in.

Is this how people live?

It is such a place that is not suitable for human survival, but it has more residents than Kurk City.

Just because there is a special magical power here, it attracts people with ulterior motives from all over the world to gather here, settle down, and build a huge dungeon with complex components over time.

The source of magic power is what is abundant here - blood jade.

That's right, at the previous auction, Li Xiao seemed to have seen the special jade that a gentle and dignified woman floated out of it.

At that time, Li Xiao was full of curiosity about the ancient city of Kurk because that piece of jade and another meteorite with special effects came from this place. Thinking of an idea that popped up casually, it came true so quickly.

The situation in the ancient city of Kurk is more complicated than in the new city of Kurk.

At least Xincheng is slightly under the control of the Akeshan area. Nominally, the three surrounding countries control it.

But in the ancient city, no one cares.

Going back a hundred years, a certain stan country is still trying to establish an economic development zone there to monopolize the mining business of blood jade.

But the control agency had just been established, and then a big sandstorm completely buried the entire city.

In the next hundred years, the city was built four times and destroyed by nature four times. The country of Stan directly gave up that place, and even gave the name Kurk to a place in West Asia.

Blood jade is valuable, but it must be able to make money.

Efforts are not directly proportional to gains. Even if they know that there are treasures there, the local officials will not be moved.

But this does not mean that many private forces are not interested, and will not enter that restricted area of ​​life regardless of life and death, seeking benefits.

According to incomplete statistics, there are three major factions in the ancient city of Kurk and more than a dozen smaller factions. Members come from various countries around the world. Each faction occupies this small area of ​​​​blood jade mines and excavates ancient porcelain and silk. business.

The special products of the ancient city of Kurk can be seen in many high-quality goods at international large-scale auctions.

If nothing else, this legendary ancient city will still exist for more than ten or even decades, until all jade minerals and antique cultural relics are excavated, completely losing its unique charm.

But the arrival of someone seems to bring disaster to this ancient city.

No one dared to say whether the appearance of this person would cause an ancient city to die out decades earlier.

The only thing that was certain was that Li Xiao was walking on the road to the target mission point, feeling very sad.

The time when the military sent him was very ingenious.

Just when the wind and sand invaded, put him on the edge, walk in the wind and sand on foot, nature will completely erase his traces, according to his walking speed, when he reached the entrance of the ancient city of Kurk, the wind and sand just stopped .

When the people in the dungeon came out, Li Xiao didn't need to bother to find the entrance by himself.

Li Xiao was very aware of these arrangements, and didn't find it too troublesome.

But after entering the area ravaged by wind and sand, he realized why the task of destroying Zi-[-] satellite was entrusted to him.

Who in the right mind can withstand three hours of wind and sand?

Along the way, I don’t know how many times he was almost swept away by the strong wind, and the yellow sand all over the sky made it impossible for people to breathe normally. At the final stage, he did not walk by his own will, but by the special power in his body. Existence supported him, and he survived abruptly.

When he finally saw a building that looked like ruins, he knew he was in the right place.

The sandstorm is not over, and a huge crisis is slowly approaching.

Just because when he was randomly looking for a ruined building to protect him from the wind and sand, he saw a corpse.

A corpse that had died from suffocation and hadn't started to rot, and he could still identify the other person.

Duan family.

As mentioned in the mission information, the person who escorted Duan Rong here in the early stage was an elite member of the collateral line of the Duan family.

Li Xiao knew that Duan Rong took the blame for Duan Jiu and came here to perform the same task.The Duan family also sent several elites to assist Duan Rong. It stands to reason that when Li Xiao arrives later, he can join Duan Rong and his party to complete the task together.

But I never expected that as soon as I arrived, I saw what I thought was a potential comrade-in-arms, and died here.

He died peacefully, but everything on his body was stripped clean.

This scene made Li Xiao feel extremely sad.

Just understand that if you die for your country on the battlefield, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather? This man should have been prepared to die before he came, but to expose his body in the wilderness like this is too much!

The bloodshot eyes in Li Xiao's eyes slowly receded, and he picked up the yellow sand with both hands and buried the body.

The sound of howling wind gradually subsided, and the moment before the wind and sand dissipated, he raised his hand and grabbed a large handful of banknotes from his pocket, held it in his hand, lay on his back, and fell asleep.
