The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 163: Courier, Scarred Man, Transaction

"Mad, it's getting harder and harder to live."

The courier Black Panther walked out of the research institute dejectedly.

His infection had returned and was becoming resistant to the usual inhibitors.

If you want to prolong the outbreak time of an infectious disease, you need to go to a research institute to customize the dosage of the inhibitor.

But after some consultation, I found out that the price of customized inhibitors is several times higher than that of ordinary inhibitors.

For inhibitors, ordinary people can only get one injection a year.

If too much is injected, it will be fatal.

Black Panther is in an awkward situation right now.

Now, if he gets one injection, the dosage is not enough and there is a possibility of an outbreak of infectious disease.

Two injections can carry the risk of death.

If he went to the research institute for special customization, the contribution points and price required would be too high, and he simply could not afford it.

Level 3 infected people are the most important fighting force in XN City.

Logically speaking, level 3 infected people must be among the richest people in XN City.

But Black Panther is an exception.

Black Panther chose not to be a fighting force.

As a level 3 infected person, Black Panther chose to be a courier instead of a warrior in XN City.

A courier's job is to deliver goods, not to fight.

If encountering a powerful monster, the courier can abandon the goods.

As a level 3 infected person, it is not easy to die as long as you focus on escaping.

However, XN City does not encourage this kind of behavior, so only the third-level infected people who become XN City's combat power will enjoy high-standard treatment. The third-level infected people like Black Panther who are afraid of death enjoy the same treatment as ordinary people.

Black Panther didn't care about living in poverty because he didn't pay much.

With a slight sigh, Black Panther took out the pager he had looted.

The signals of most of the contacts on the pager disappeared.

This means that the town where the contact is located has been mysteriously destroyed, or the pager has been destroyed.

Black Panther would give each survivor whom he considered a fat sheep a single-line pager like this.

In addition to being able to trade some high-value resources.

This is also how Black Panther determines whether the address is safe.

After looking through the remaining contact signals, Black Panther listened on the Otsutsuki.

"I remember this guy was willing to trade even the inhibitors."

"This fat sheep is still alive and well. It seems that Ailing Town is very safe."

Black Panther rubbed his palms. Today was the first time he delivered goods after the heavy rain stopped.

He decided to go to Ailing Town as his first stop.

The bus sped out of XN City and drove into the abandoned road.

Even with the Yang Stone, there were still many infected creatures attacking the bus.

Black Panther frowned, then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

accelerate!
The bus roared, and its tires actually floated gently on the ground, like a maglev train, leaving the surrounding infected creatures behind in the blink of an eye.

Black Panther named his ability Acceleration.

Black Panther didn't understand whether the acceleration was through magnetic levitation or by reducing friction.

In order not to become a warrior in XN City, Black Panther did not go to the Research Institute for characterization of his abilities.

"Strange, getting smaller?"

The bus drove out of XN City and gradually approached Ailing Town.

The closer Black Panther got to Ailing Town, the fewer strange things he encountered.

Now, XN City has become a little safer thanks to Zhang Yuqi and other soldiers who have been constantly clearing out the monsters. But for some reason, there is not a single monster near Ailing Town.

"Oh, it's a corpse ghost!"

Dealing with weirdness every day, Black Panther feels a little lonely now that he suddenly can't see it.

Finally, Black Panther whistled excitedly.

He saw a zombie wandering on the road.

"Come on, come and chase me, the delicious human is right here."

After provoking the corpse ghost, Black Panther suddenly accelerated. He often teased the corpse ghost like this. He liked to see the corpse ghost unable to catch up with him but reluctant to give up.

However, after discovering the black panther, this corpse ghost not only did not launch an attack, but instead acted like a frightened cat, with all its hair standing up.

Especially when he heard the black panther's voice, the corpse ghost trembled, fell to the ground with a thud, and a gray shadow broke away from the corpse ghost's body and ran away.

creak.

Panther brakes.

"What's going on? Did I scare the corpse away?"

After working as a courier for so many years, this is the first time that Black Panther has encountered such a situation.

"This is terrible. This corpse ghost is obviously under stress. Is it afraid of being killed by humans?"

Black Panther is not stupid, so he doesn't believe that this is his ability. Then, Black Panther looked excitedly in the direction of Ailing Town.

That's right, the closer you get to Ailing Town, the fewer weird things there are. Even around Ailing Town, the zombies are scared by humans. This means that there are powerful infected people in Ailing Town, and the weird things are afraid of being killed by the infected.

"You've come to the right place. It looks like I can get something good this time."

Black Panther couldn't wait to speed up, and the bus finally drove into the road entrance of Ailing Town.

When he arrived at the familiar delivery location, Black Panther was stunned again.

The previously empty square and the ruins scattered all over the ground are gone.

There were densely planted trees on both sides of the road.

Black Panther got out of the car, carefully observed the newly planted trees, and then he became a mess.

“These are actually poplar trees!”

Black Panther looked around subconsciously, then took out an axe from the bus.

The poplar trees in XN City are in urgent need of supplies, and all are planned and used by the XN City Guard.

Although XN City definitely has a way to grow poplar trees, with so many level 3 infected people protecting them, the location of the poplar trees is still kept secret.

Once the poplar trees are discovered by residents, they will cut them down and snatch them at all costs. After all, poplar trees can save lives. Even if they are infected, they cannot protect the poplar trees every minute of every day for 24 hours.

"stop."

A three-person team walked out of Ailing Town. One of them was carrying a new poplar tree, and the other two were carrying shovels and pickaxes. They were clearly planting trees.

"Where are you from? These poplar trees cannot be cut down. They are newly planted by us. If you want them, go into the town and go to the forest to cut them. There are plenty of them there." A man roared at Black Panther in dissatisfaction, and then the three of them walked to the edge of the town, dug holes, filled them with soil, and planted the new trees they carried.

"There are still some in the forest, and they can just cut them down at will?"

Black Panther was originally preparing to use his ability to dodge, because under normal circumstances, when people see the poplar trees, they will subconsciously fight and rob them, especially since Black Panther was an outsider and the trees he cut down belonged to the town.

As a result, the people who came out of the town just roared angrily and didn't care about Black Panther's behavior. They even told Black Panther that there was a forest in the town and he could cut it down at will.

"Ailing Town, when did a poplar forest appear?"

"Also, when did Ailing Town have so many people?"

Black Panther thought for a moment and put the axe back into the bus. "Everyone, I am a courier from XN City. I have been in charge of trading with this town. Before the rainy season came, I came here. Well, I have traded with the residents of the town, Zhang Famo, Zhang Zhanhong and Otsutsuki. I want to ask, are these people still here?"

"Do you know Mr. Otsutsuki?"

The three thought for a while and pointed to the location of the short mountain in Ailing Town: "If you need anything, you can enter the town, go to the short mountain, and talk to Bai Jue to see if Bai Jue will take you in."

Black Panther thanked him, and this time, he did not turn on the alarm in the bus that symbolized a transaction.

There are so many poplar trees in Ailing Town, and there are also Yangshi mines here. I'm afraid that nothing in my car is worth trading with Ailing Town.

As Black Panther walked along the road specially left for the town, he became more and more frightened.

In addition to the dense poplar trees, Black Panther also saw mutant birds hovering over Ailing Town.

These birds live harmoniously with humans and seem to be protecting humans and the woods.

The most incredible thing is that there are people who climb from tree to tree and unscrupulously take out bird eggs from the mutant birds' nests.

The mutant birds don't care about this provocative behavior. Some of them will even gently flap their wings and deliver bird eggs to people who climb up the trees.

"This is a level three infection. Is it already so easy to get along with?"

Black Panther swallowed.

This means that Ailing Town has a large amount of high-quality meat and eggs.

Now is the end of the world. Even the level 3 infected people who fight for XN City every day don’t eat as well as the residents of Ailing Town.

Ta-ta, tap-ta.

Walking out of the woods, Black Panther came to the residential area of Ailing Town.

Ailing Town, which originally had only a few people left, has now become bustling.

On the street, residents were chatting and laughing while tidying up something.

Black Panther looked closer and saw that these people were actually cleaning vegetables.

Oh my god, people in XN City actually still have vegetables to eat!
In addition to vegetables, the sound of people marching can be heard from time to time on the streets.

After a while, a group of White Zetsu came patrolling with rocket launchers.

After taking a quick look at the Black Panther, the White Zetsu turned their heads and passed by the Black Panther.

Such luxury!

Black Panther took a breath.

He had seen the black shells in the rocket launcher.

Having made countless transactions, he discovered at a glance that these shells contained Yangshi components, and even level 3 infected creatures would be killed if they were hit by them.

No wonder those mutant birds are so honest, no wonder there is nothing weird around Ailing Town.

With such terrible firepower, Ailing Town can defend itself even if attacked by a large number of level 3 infected creatures.

The black panther's whole behavior changed from curiosity to respectfulness. He politely asked the residents who were sorting vegetables for directions. He didn't even dare to breathe heavily and walked carefully all the way to the poplar forest.

"It turns out that the Otsutsuki have become the masters of this town."

Looking at the endless poplar forest in front of him, Black Panther hesitated in front of the forest, not knowing where to find Bai Zetsu to pick him up.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the other side of the woods.

Black Panther turned his head and saw two big men hurried over, one with a face full of scars and the other with tattoos all over his body.

Black Panther hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where White Zetsu is?"

Just as the tattooed man was about to speak, the scarred man snorted coldly: "Tell me what you are capable of."

Black Panther didn't dare to neglect it and quickly replied: "I am a courier from XN City. My ability is acceleration. I have been to Ailing Town and traded with Mr. Otsutsuki."

The scarred man nodded and said, "Speed up, you're so strong, why are you going to be a courier?"

As a high-ranking official in Lianhai City, Scar Man understood the configuration of the Level 3 infected. He looked at Black Panther and waved his hand: "Follow me, my sixth sense tells me that White Zetsu is ahead."

After walking for a while, the three were indeed stopped by Bai Zetsu.

This time, before Black Panther could speak, the scarred man immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I am the infected person who transported people to Ailing Town a few days ago. The person next to me is a courier who has met Mr. Otsutsuki a few times. Please help inform him."

Black Panther was stunned. After all this time, Scar Man had just arrived in Ailing Town and even talked about his abilities and relationship with Otsutsuki...

It seems that it was right for me to be a courier. If I had been a soldier, I would have been killed long ago.

Bai Jue nodded, indicating that Huo Ying already knew, and then extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Walking all the way to the center of the forest, Scar King, Tattooed Man Laohua and Black Panther did not see Huo Ying. Waiting under the throne were Huo Zhaohui and An Zaixin.

Scar King breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an acquaintance.

If Huo Ying was dissatisfied with him, there was no need for him to let his acquaintances in Lianhai City wait here.

Black Panther was stunned when he saw Huo Zhaohui, and couldn't help but ask, "It's you, uh, are your daughter and wife okay?"

Huo Chaohui was also an acquaintance of Black Panther. It was Black Panther who brought Huo Chaohui, Huo Zhenni and little Huo Huo over there.

Scar King smiled. He already understood what Huo Ying meant. They were all acquaintances, which meant that Huo Ying accepted them.

"Brother An, and this brother, I wonder what Lord Otsutsuki has planned for us."

An Zaixin waved his hand and said, "We will still be colleagues in the future. There is no need to be so hypocritical. I have already told Lord Otsutsuki about your ability. It just so happens that the town needs your sixth sense."

Huo Zhaohui did not answer Black Panther's words, but looked at Black Panther: "Black Panther, I have also talked to Lord Otsutsuki about your information."

Huo Zhaohui came here in Black Panther's car and had already investigated Black Panther's background in XN City beforehand.

"All you want is a deal. Lord Otsutsuki will allow me to give you a fortune. After all, it is fate that we can still meet."

Black Panther shook his head hastily. He looked at the endless forest again and said immediately, "Brother, I also want to join Ailing Town. My ability is speed increase, but it has not been finalized yet. I personally think it is more like magnetic levitation. My ability will definitely be useful to Ailing Town."

Huo Zhaohui nodded with satisfaction: "It just so happens that Ailing Town also needs you."

At the same time, several White Zetsu came over carrying a huge wooden board.

The template is engraved with a map and the names of some medicines.

Huo Zhaohui pointed at the black panther and said, "You have the dispelling rune with you, right? Write down the map. We need you to return to Ailing Town and retrieve the items on the map. At the same time, you must also remember these medicines, especially the serum for the insensitive. You must take it back to Ailing Town. We will provide you with a large amount of resources, even at a premium."

"Don't you really need inhibitors? Once these things are retrieved, Ailing Town can produce inhibitors by itself, and you won't have to run around as a courier." Huo Zhaohui knew the details of Black Panther very well. After arranging Black Panther, Huo Zhaohui took out a letter and handed it to Scar King: "The same goes for you. I need you to use your sixth sense to put this letter where my teacher can receive it. As long as you complete the task, you can become a member of Ailing Town."

Scar King took the letter and immediately shuddered.

His sixth sense sensed that if they undertook this mission, they would all die.

"It's dangerous, isn't it?" Huo Zhaohui saw Scar King's reaction, and then said seriously: "If it's not dangerous, it's not the end of the world. We won't force you. If you don't want to do it, you can leave. You can use your sixth sense to find out if there is a place safer than Ailing Town."

An Zaixin also looked at Scar King quietly. Scar King returned to Ailing Town because he felt that Ailing Town was safer than XN City. But there was no such good thing in the world. If he wanted to enjoy the benefits of Ailing Town, he had to pay for Ailing Town.
