Chapter 2884: Missing mercenary

Three days later, a spirit boat passed through the clouds and landed on a sand dune. Li Tian and others walked out of the spirit boat quickly.
In front of a few people, a majestic ancient city stood tall, with majestic walls, blocking the erosion of wind and sand, like a moat, dividing the desert and the plain.
Obviously, although Linmo North City is remote, it is extremely majestic. Just looking at the gates, the momentum is not at all in Yangcheng, but it is slightly deserted and there are not many monks.
"This Lin Mo Beicheng, the old man has not been here for decades..." Lin Xiao glanced away, and then sighed.
"Friend Lin Dao, don't rush to remember the old, wait until you enter the city." Dan Chenzi said, and then walked towards the city gate first.
There were a few guards under the city gate, and after paying some spirit stones as the entrance fee, they entered the city smoothly.
The streets of Linmo North City are quite wide and the architectural style is rough, but the city is not prosperous enough, and the shops on both sides do not look very high-end.
"There is a restaurant in front. Old Man Zhao is waiting for us there. Let's go and meet him first." Dan Chenzi took the crowd for half a time, and then saw a restaurant with a good scale.
This restaurant is very popular, and the lobby is basically full, but most of the people who come here to drink are some mercenaries, who are constantly yelling and cursing, and their drinking postures are also very heroic.
"There seem to be so many mercenaries in Linmo North City..." Li Tian glanced a few times before whispering to himself.
"Compared with other cities, there are indeed many mercenaries here. At least one-third of the monks in the city have joined a mercenary group."
Dan Chenzi replied casually, "This is related to the environment where Linmo North City is located. After all, if you want to enter the desert to obtain resources, it is very dangerous to be alone."
"As far as I know, the largest quicksand mercenary group in the city has a full number of 50,000. Its overall strength is not weaker than our second-rate forces in Yangcheng."
Li Tian nodded, and didn't ask any more, then under the leadership of Dan Chenzi, he entered a box upstairs.
"President Dan, Fellow Lin, are you here?" As soon as a few people entered the door, a figure greeted them immediately.
"I have seen the great elder!" Seeing the figure, Li Tian and the elders around him immediately bowed their hands to the ceremony, Dan Chenzi and Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
Afterwards, everyone walked into the box, and then they saw that there were more than ten people in the box.
As soon as Dan Chenzi and the others came in, all of the dozen or so people stood up a little awkwardly, and showed a flattering and flattering smile.
"Junior Wu Shalang, leader of the Quicksand Mercenary Corps, met President Dan, and Senior Lin."
"Junior Wu Yuntao, leader of Luo Feng's mercenary group, met President Dan, and Senior Lin."
"..."
Respectful voices sounded one after another, and Dan Chenzi and the others were quite surprised. No one thought that the heads and deputy heads of the seven or eight mercenary groups in Linmo North City had all rushed over.
"It turns out that it's the heads, please sit down." Dan Chenzi nodded and called everyone to sit down.
"President Dan, these dozen or so group leaders were all invited by me. Just at noon the day before yesterday, the surnamed Liu fled here, but did not hide. Instead, he found seven or eight mercenary teams and transported them separately. Some secret items rushed to Wasteland City."
At this time, Zhao Qianlong opened his mouth and explained, "Unfortunately, in only two days, all the hired teams were out of contact, so I asked the team leaders to come over to find out the situation."
"What the is going on?" Dan Chenzi frowned, with some doubts in his heart. Isn't the Liu surnamed running for his life? Why does he hire so many mercenaries?
"President Dan, don't be impatient." Zhao Qianlong looked at a burly man in the box, "Leader Wu, please describe the situation that day in detail."
"That's the case. Just at noon the day before yesterday, a middle-aged man suddenly visited his house and asked me to send people to transport three items to Wasteland City and specify three different routes."
The burly man immediately got up, and then slowly said, "Although I was puzzled at the time, I didn't think much about it. After all, he paid for us to do things. Any strange request was not excessive, so I agreed."
"On the same day, I sent more than 30 people to those three items, but a few days later, everyone lost contact at the same time, and no feedback was sent back."
"In our northern city of Linmo, most of the mercenary teams who suddenly lost contact were unable to return safely. They were either lost in the endless yellow sand or buried in the mouth of various monsters, with few exceptions."
Immediately afterwards, the burly man described the appearance of the middle-aged man and some other details. Everyone can be sure that the middle-aged man is indeed the owner of Liu Zhuang who absconded.
"Did they all suddenly lose contact?" After listening, Dan Chenzi's brow furrowed deeper, "Wait, Commander Wu, do you know what those three items are?"
"I don't know, all the items are very secret, and the juniors were not informed in advance, and we were forbidden to open them, but the price he gave was so high that we were willing to ignore this." The burly man replied.
"Liu is not bad for money." Dan Chenzi groaned, and then he wondered whether there was a certain relationship between the loss of the mercenary and those transported items.
"President Dan, the situation in our dozen or so companies is the same, all of the mercenary teams are missing..." The other leaders of the mercenary regiments also talked about their respective situations.
Although the elder who hired them to transport the goods was not the owner of Liu Zhuang himself, it was the elder who absconded with him, and the goods seemed to be the same thing.
"By the way, where is Waste City?" Dan Chenzi pondered for a moment, then asked.
"The Wasteland City is a small city in the endless desert. It is some distance away from Linmo North City. Many mercenaries who enter the desert will choose to rest in the Wasteland City. Strictly speaking, the Wasteland City is nothing more than an alternative inn." Said.
"I have been to Wasteland City. It is said to be a small town. It is actually similar to a town, with very simple facilities." Lin Xiao added, "It's just that the Wasteland City is very special. Almost all the specialties in the desert will appear in the city, so It also attracted some other monks."
Hearing this, the doubts in everyone's hearts grew deeper and deeper. The Wasteland City was too remote. How could Village Master Liu suddenly transport items to such a place? Or is he planning to hide in the Wasteland City to avoid being pursued by the Alchemist Association?
All kinds of doubts appeared in the hearts of everyone, and no one could guess the true intentions of Master Liu Zhuang, Li Tian suddenly felt that this matter had become more and more weird.
"For those missing teams, do you have any clues?" Dan Chenzi asked after thinking for a moment.
