The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 97
There are nine districts in Licheng: Nanji, Changyan, Shanqing, Daxu, Feiyang, Xijing, Dongyu, Anliang and Beiyong.

Officers Gao Yang, Qing Ling, and Huang live in Shanqing District, and the Millennium Building, the headquarters of the Zodiac, is in Daxu District.

The place where the five people are rushing to is the Nanji District in the south of the city.

Douhu drove the car very fast, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel rhythmically and humming a cheerful tune. Everyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

White Rabbit in the co-pilot was also busy reporting the situation to the headquarters and kept chatting on his mobile phone.

Gao Yang, Officer Huang and Qing Ling were sitting in the back seat, looking at each other with expressions of confusion on their faces.

Soon, Gao Yang couldn't hold back anymore and raised his hand to ask: "Teacher, can you explain what the Fu Dong is?"

Douhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just telling you, you three didn't react at all. It turns out you didn't understand. You should have asked me earlier!"

"We saw that you two were so anxious that we had no time to ask." Officer Huang explained with a smile.

"The rune cave is a cave that may contain rune circuits." Douhu said.

Bai Rabbit just hung up the phone, and she answered, "The first rune circuit was found in a cave, so everyone just shouted out. In fact, it doesn't have to be a cave. Anyway, you just need to understand it as some kind of special area. "

"I understand." Gao Yang nodded and said, "The previous Gujia Village can also be called Fudong."

"Yes."

"Why did the Baichuan Group tell us?" Officer Huang was a little puzzled, "I must keep such a good thing for myself."

"That is to say, is there a possibility?" White Rabbit blinked his big eyes, deliberately pretending to be innocent, "The Baichuan Tuan has a small appetite and cannot be swallowed?"

"That's right." Officer Huang also found it funny, "I asked a stupid question."

Gao Yang also nodded in agreement.

According to Wu Dahai, the Baichuan Group is a ragtag group, and even if they find the Talisman Cave, they may not be able to successfully obtain the Rune Circuit. At this time, it is a safe choice to ask for help from the powerful Zodiac.

"We're here." As he spoke, Douhu had already parked the car on the side of the road.

The five people put on zodiac masks, got out of the car, opened the trunk, and picked up their weapons. Gao Yang did not forget to carry a mission bag, which was equipped with regular medicines and supplies.

This is an old street in Nanji District. Most of the residents have moved out, and the street is deserted.

Across the road is the entrance to a subway station called Niuchang Station. It is said that this area used to be a place dedicated to raising cattle.

Three years ago, a collapse accident occurred at Niuchang Station, killing many people. It was never repaired. In addition, with fewer and fewer residents in the area, the station was simply shut down.

At this time, a young woman wearing a slim professional skirt was standing at the subway entrance. Although she was wearing sunglasses, Gao Yang recognized her at a glance as the "female representative" who traded runes at the Kirin Union last time.

Gao Yang and his group crossed the road and came to her.

"Just you?" The female representative was obviously a little disappointed, and Gao Yang could feel her eagerness.

"A lot." Douhu laughed at himself in a relaxed tone, "Half of our organization's members have been dispatched."

The female representative hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand towards Douhu: "Hello, I am the leader of Team 3 of Baichuan Regiment, Chen Ying."

Douhu stretched out his hand and shook it gently: "Vice Captain of the Zodiac, Douhu."

Chen Ying couldn't hide her surprise and looked at the curly-haired man in front of her again: "Are you Mr. Douhu, who ranks ninth in strength?"

"Yeah, what?"

"But," Chen Ying said, slightly embarrassed, she pointed out seriously: "Your mask is a big-faced cat, right?"

"Ah? A cat? I thought it was a tiger." Douhu plucked his hair.

"I told you it was a cat, but you didn't believe it." White Rabbit said coldly.

"Maohu is a family." Douhu laughed, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"Okay." Chen Ying turned serious:
"I have asked the group leader for instructions, and here is the original message: The Talisman Cave was discovered by the Baichuan Group, and we invited the Chinese Zodiac to help us find the rune circuit. As a thank you, the Baichuan Group can provide the Chinese Zodiac with one of the rune circuits for free. month’s lease.”

"That's it?" Douhu looked like "Miss, are you kidding me?"

"Yes." "Chen Ying, nice to meet you. Goodbye." Douhu turned and left.

Gao Yang and others all understood that this was a negotiation technique and followed him without looking back.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Ying called Dou Hu as expected.

Douhu lazily turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and waited for the next step.

"Three months, three months of free rental rights." Chen Ying gritted her teeth and said, "This is the biggest concession we can make."

"Nice to meet you, goodbye." White Rabbit repeated.

Douhu shrugged: "Look, even if I agree, my brothers and sisters won't agree."

Chen Ying looked embarrassed and asked, "What conditions do you want?"

Douhu said without hesitation: "After the matter is completed, the twelve zodiac signs will share the use rights of the rune circuit with the Baichuan Group. The twelve zodiac signs will be used first and rotate every three months."

Chen Ying fell into silence. Obviously, this request was too much.

"alright, that's fine."

Douhu smiled like an experienced and slippery middle-aged man: "Since you contacted us first, you must have weighed it up. In terms of strength and reputation, the Chinese Zodiac is well-known. You went to other organizations to help, and you promised well. You really do it. It’s a different face when it comes to dividing the spoils.”

Chen Ying pursed her lips tightly, obviously Dou Hu had been right.

"Wait a moment, I want to ask the leader for instructions." Chen Ying took out her mobile phone, avoided everyone, and started chatting in a low voice.

Dou Hu was confident: "Just wait, I will definitely agree."

"Is the teacher so confident?" Gao Yang was a little worried, "Aren't you afraid that they will find the Qilin Union?"

"The Qilin Union is not as friendly as you think."

White Rabbit curled his lips, "Although they don't know how to bully people, they are very good at bullying customers. When dealing with them, you will only suffer losses, and all you will suffer is the loss of being dumb."

"It's a waste of time, why not just grab it?" Qing Ling was a little impatient.

Douhu sighed, "Sister, you are so pretty, but you talk like a bandit."

"The world is originally a place where the weak prey on the strong." Qing Ling looked cold.

"That's true," Douhu said, "but you also have to consider sustainable development. This time you robbed someone else. Will they ask you to help them next time they find a talisman cave?"

Qing Ling was silent.

White Rabbit patted Qing Ling on the shoulder, "Wu Dahai has always looked down on the Baichuan Group, saying they are a bunch of waste. In fact, they are not waste at all. They have many people, and although their talents are low, they have various abilities and can create all kinds of value. For example, in terms of searching for talisman caves, making props, and collecting intelligence, they are all top-notch.”

"That's right." Douhu nodded: "Each organization has a different composition, and its core strengths and means of survival are also different."

Gao Yang benefited a lot and concluded: "Just like the civilian cards in the Werewolf game, they are no less useful than the identity cards."

"This metaphor is apt." Douhu smiled happily.

"I understand." Qing Ling accepted it humbly, "When all the runes are found, we can grab them together."

"You know shit!" Douhu rolled his eyes and almost fainted, "Gao Yang, go back and teach her a lesson. This girl's outlook on life is too crooked!"

"..." Gao Yangxin said that I don't think she has a long life, so I dare to teach her how to be a good person.

Chen Ying had already finished the phone call. She walked over quickly and coughed lightly: "I reported it to the team leader and he agreed to your conditions."

Douhu said nothing, knowing that there was more to come.

Sure enough, Chen Ying paused and then said, "But there is an additional condition. You must rescue our members."

Douhu clasped his hands and said as expected: "I knew it wasn't that simple."
