Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

The three of them walked into a house on the west side, close to the city wall, and found that the stove was even covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that it had indeed not been used for some time...

and many more!

Lemon's eyes suddenly stopped at the edge of the stove, where there were two very clear marks, each about as wide as a finger, and at the end of the marks, there were piles of dust.

He immediately walked over quickly and used his fingers to drag a long line along the edge of the trace.

Then Lemon was surprised to find out.

The three traces were almost identical, even the dust piles at the ends were about the same height.

this means……

"Fuck! There's someone here!!"

Chapter 272 Quanjitang?

"Who are you!"

Gugu held the sniper rifle, his eyes fixed on the person standing on the roof not far away.

This was a woman, wearing a white robe with a Tai Chi pattern embroidered on her shoulder. A long spear was standing upright beside her, with the tip pointing upwards, but the handle did not poke into the eaves, which looked a bit weird.

"Don't get excited yet."

Seeing Gugu's nervous expression, the woman in white robe simply sat down on the eaves and said with a smile.

"Can't we talk first? Do we have to fight with weapons first?"

"Fighting and killing only harm harmony."

At this moment, Lemon, who had been in the house before, also rushed to Gugu's side.

He first looked at Gugu, then at the person on the edge of the eaves, then immediately took out his big knife, stared at the woman in white robe and asked.

"Please explain your purpose."

The woman in white robe did not respond immediately. Instead, she sighed and glanced at the long knife in Lemon's hand. Then her eyes quickly shifted back to the sniper rifle in Gugu's hand.

Gugu's index finger had already been on the trigger, and the grooves on the gun body gradually showed a faint milky white halo after the injection of force.

"That gun in your hand should be ours, right?" the white-robed woman said with a smile. "Do you think it can pose a threat to me since I dare to appear before you?"

"You are an accomplice of the attacker!" Gugu immediately understood what this person meant.

"Accomplice?"

The woman in white blinked, then seemed to think for a moment whether the word was appropriate, and finally shrugged.

"That's it."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked towards the east. Unfortunately, the city wall on the east side blocked her view, so she turned back to look at Lemon:

"By the way, where's your main force? Is it arriving soon?"

A very poor attempt to change the subject.

Lemon's face darkened, but this group of people did know the movements of their army.

Is it possible for people to fight?

"You should answer my question first." Lemon's tone also became a little low.

The woman in white robe raised her eyebrows, then seeing Lemon's serious expression, she looked up slightly, as if recalling the question just now, and finally put on an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, I remembered."

She looked at Lemon again, and a smile returned to her face.

"My purpose in coming here is similar to yours. I just came in to see what's going on inside."

"As for meeting you and chatting with you here, it was something that was not planned."

"What do you want to do?" Lemon continued to ask, "Does the fall of this fort have anything to do with you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't wrongly accuse a good person."

The woman in white robe immediately waved her hand.

"We arrived at most a day or two earlier than you. This fortress has been breached for at least three days."

"As for our intentions, at least for now, they are the same as yours. We are all here to help Mujing Fort and repel these invading beasts."

Hearing this, Lemon frowned.

"Aren't you rebels?"

He always thought that these people were rebels who were blocking them from going to Mujing Fort, and he was wondering along the way where the rebels got the high-end weapons.

Not to mention the anti-aircraft weapons that can shoot down planes and the sniper rifle in Gugu's hand, the combat uniform alone seems to be specially made to fight against inferior demons.

After all, at this stage, there is no close combat in human confrontation. People who are not at the advanced level are holding guns that can kill inferior monsters.

Then this combat uniform is just a protection against loneliness.

But if it is a combat uniform specifically for fighting against demons, will the demons allow them to produce it?

And now, he has a new answer.

"You think we're like those wild dogs?" The white-robed woman shook her head slightly, a hint of disgust in her tone. "No wonder you're so hostile to me."

"I have a piece of news for you. Because Mujing Fort is under siege, those wild dogs outside of Shaling Town are almost reaching the heart of Shaling Town."

"Our people are also on their way there. We should be able to resolve the issue in a few days. By then, the situation in Mujing Fort will be over, and the people rebuilding it will probably have less to worry about."

Did they also send people to hunt down the rebels?

Lemon silently sent the message to the group, then looked at the woman in white robe again.

"Do you belong to any organization? Or a gathering place?"

"Huh? Haven't I introduced myself yet?"

The woman in white robe raised her eyebrows, then looked at the silent Lemon and Gugu, and scratched her head on the spot.

"Sorry, sorry, I was so happy chatting that I forgot to mention this."

After she finished speaking, she turned slightly to the side, revealing the Tai Chi pattern on her right shoulder, then pointed with her left hand and asked:

"Have you ever seen this pattern? Or rather, have you ever heard of Quanjitang?"

Lemon was silent on the spot, while Gugu blurted out:

"I've heard of the All Seasons."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the smile of the woman in white robe froze on the spot.

Lemon almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, innocence overcomes everything.

He couldn't even pretend to say that.

"Let me introduce him to you." The woman in white robe sighed. As a traveler from the hall, she did have this responsibility.

"The goal of our Quanjitang is to restore the former glory of the Allied Forces and wipe out all the demons. All the gathering places that have joined our Quanjitang are working tirelessly and striving for this goal." The woman in white robes was obviously flattering.

"Any gathering place that joins our Quanjitang will be able to purchase the most advanced weapons and equipment from us. At the same time, our patrol team will regularly conduct inspections within the gathering place to prevent demonic possession."

"If the gathering place is attacked by demons or non-member forces, we will help kill and defend the former, and we will do our best to mediate the latter..."

"call--"

After reciting a long passage, it was obvious that the woman in white robe was still under some pressure.

She first breathed a sigh of relief, then briefly recalled everything. After making sure that she had not missed anything, she looked at the two people in front of her again.

"Why, does it sound like you want to join?"

The woman in white robe simply jumped down from the eaves, then took two steps towards Lemon and Gugu. Then she put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile:

"I see that you have a high level of cultivation and are wearing armor. You should be able to have a say in your gathering place."

"Would you like to persuade your leader to join us?"

"I remember your gathering place is right on the border of the demon-occupied area. If you join our Quanjitang, we can not only help you resist the invasion of demons and rebels, but also help you develop rapidly. Maybe you can surpass Yunhe Town within five years."

amount……

You are asked to defend against demons and rebels, but how can we level up? How can we earn rank points?

and……

"What's the price?"

Lemon looked at the woman in white robe in front of him, and his voice became a little low.

"Oh." The woman in white robe blinked, obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect Lemon to ask this question.

"Of course there is a price to pay."

And she doesn't need to memorize the script for these.

"After joining the Quanjitang, you will need to obey the hall's orders at all times and hand over a certain amount of supplies every once in a while. The hall will also regularly come to the gathering place to select some smart children, and the hall will help the gathering place train them..."

The woman in white robe finished listing them one by one, and Lemon's heart finally died down.

It is impossible for their gathering place to agree to these conditions.

"Isn't this equivalent to becoming your subordinate?" asked Gugu.

"Well... that's right."

The woman in white robe shrugged her shoulders, then subconsciously looked around, and for some reason, she lowered her voice a little.

"If my captain were here, he would definitely say something to you."

"Ah, no, no, no." Her waist suddenly straightened a little, her voice instantly lowered, and her tone became righteous on the spot.

"We don't accept vassals. After joining the Trans-Masonic Order, we will all work together for the future of mankind. The current setbacks are only temporary. We are doing this to better allocate resources and better unite everyone's strength! We..."

"Fight for a better tomorrow!"

After ending with a powerful slogan, the woman in white robe seemed to lose her spirit on the spot, returning to her previous demeanor and her tone becoming lazy.

"I didn't know that before, but now I think that these gathering places that have joined are no different from subordinates."

"Some people in the hall also think they are superior to others. They all think they are superior, as if they are no longer human, but a species that has evolved from humans."

Having said that, the woman in white robe complained a few more times, all about the social atmosphere in Quanjitang.

"Aren't you afraid that we won't join after you say all this?" Lemon raised his eyebrows.

"I don't care." The white-robed woman shrugged. "It won't benefit me if you join the guild."

"Besides, joining a gathering place like yours on the edge of the northwest region is hard to say whether it will benefit the clan or not."

As she spoke, she glanced at the deserted interior of the fortress nearby and continued, "For example, in Mujing Fort, the resources haven't even been handed over yet, and the sect has already sent so many people here. They'll even need to help with the reconstruction later."

"Also, I took a look around and felt that this place was quite desolate. There were no mineral veins or special products here. I don't think we'll be able to find anything good later."

"We must be losing money here, right?"

The woman in white robe continued speaking with reason and evidence.

"Even though the atmosphere within the guild hasn't been very positive in recent years, joining a gathering like yours is still the best choice. After all, it's easier to find shade under a big tree, and some things can only be accomplished with the support of a large organization like ours."

"Oh, by the way, do you have a communicator?"

Having said that, the woman in white robe took out a black and white object from her arms. It looked a bit like the transformation device in "Digimon", but it was slightly larger than the transformation device. At least the screen could display a clear pattern.

"How about leaving your contact information? If you have any new ideas, we can contact you directly?"

"Forehead……"

Lemon paused.

No wonder Alps told them in the group before that they should prepare a few communicators when they go out. It turns out that this is where they are used.

They did bring the things with them, but the communicators were all at the army headquarters, and the scouts didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"No."

The woman in white blinked, then nodded and said as she put the communicator away.

"It's not a big problem. We should have a chance to meet again later."
