《fall into darkness》Chapter 81: Conflict
Advertisement
Du Di'an came to the finance department on the first floor of the headquarters hall and received the gold coins he handed in from the seven cold crystals.
These seven gold coins are worth the savings of more than ten years of ordinary families in residential areas! You must know that even the monthly salary of Jula and his wife, who are in better positions, is only five or six silver coins in total, which is already considered a high-paying class. Although it is said that one gold coin is equal to 10,000 yuan in the old era, in this era when the old era was just beginning to enlighten, the salary of the basic class was extremely low, just like the salary of the early old era workers, one or two hundred per month Even if the dollar is not bad, a household with 10,000 yuan can be called a small landlord and a small rich man.
And this is only a small part of Du Dian's scavenging income!
Du Dian held the heavy and smooth gold coins, and he couldn't help feeling emotional, but he was not excited at all. After all, this was bought with his life. Moreover, if it weren't for his status as a hunter, he could only get seven silver coins!
That's two months' salary for a basic-class worker.
Therefore, if scavengers want to become rich, they still have to rely on luck to pick up particularly precious items.
"I don't know how much the other things I brought back are worth." Du Di'an thought to himself, although he now holds seven gold coins, he is already rich in residential areas, but alchemy is a profession that burns money. Some money did not satisfy his appetite.
Putting the gold coins in his pocket, Du Dian came to the hall and waited.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall of the headquarters. Du Di'an, but saw a tall woman in scarlet armor push open the door of the hall and strode in, her face was extremely cold and full of chills.
Du Di'an glanced at the silver eagle-headed medal on her shoulder, and his eyes narrowed. This is the Hunter's Medal. Three years ago, he saw it on the two Fino who led him to Hunter's Castle, but the two eagles The head is bronze, but the woman is silver.

The staff in the hall and a few consortium scavengers who are about to go on a mission also noticed the medal on this woman's shoulder. After all, her battle armor is too flamboyant and peculiar, the scarlet color is like flowing blood, and the style is similar to Du Di'an and others. The Scavenger's Soft Armor is different and easy to notice.
"It's the hunter-sam!"
The people in the hall suddenly fell silent and looked at the woman cautiously.
"Let the person in charge here come out." The scarlet armored woman stood in the middle of the hall and said in a cold voice.
The two girls in front of the reception counter looked nervous. One of them hurriedly agreed and trotted into the next room. Soon, Pete and the slender old man who was in charge of the room came out together. The two of them saw the medal on the shoulders of the scarlet armored woman, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly bent over and said respectfully: "I have seen Lord Hunter, I don't know. You are here to..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The scarlet armored woman raised her hand, interrupted them, and said coldly: "Call me the scavengers you went to the eighth district this time, right now!"
Pete and the lean old man were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and saw what they meant in each other's eyes. Pete respectfully said, "Lord Hunter, they have all returned to their respective residences. It will take some time to convene, please wait a moment."
The scarlet armored woman looked at him coldly, and said, "Don't bother me, I won't see anyone before sunset today, hum, you wait!"
Cold sweat broke out on Pete's forehead, and he said, "Yes, yes, absolutely don't dare to delay."
The scarlet armored woman raised her head slightly, glanced around, and came to sit down on the sofa in the rest area where Du Di'an was. She immediately saw Du Di'an who was drinking milk tea, her eyebrows raised.
Pete followed her figure and noticed Du Di'an, so he couldn't help screaming badly, hurried forward, and shouted: "Boy, didn't you see Lord Hunter, why are you standing there, don't hurry up and salute, then get out!"

Du Di'an saw a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and immediately understood that he wanted to distract himself and delay himself, and listening to the woman's previous words, it was related to the hunter who died in the eighth district, so he couldn't help frowning slightly. He went to the door, but he didn't worry about anything, he nodded slightly to the scarlet woman, and he got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait." The scarlet woman suddenly spoke up, looked up at him coldly, and said, "Are you a rookie scavenger?"
Du Dian paused and looked back at her, "That's right."
"So..." The scarlet woman narrowed her eyes and said, "Have you been to District 8?"
Du Di'an looked at the increasing chill in her eyes. It seemed that as long as she nodded, she would immediately take action. This kind of killing intent made him frown slightly, and a bit of disgust arose in his heart, and said, "That's right."
The murderous intent in the scarlet woman's eyes suddenly flourished, and the brown-gray eyes turned a bit dark red, and she said coldly: "Little devil, why didn't you die? Why are you so humble as to be able to survive? Why? Why? Didn't you die?!"
As she spoke, the complexion on her arm became a little crimson, as if it was bloodshot.
Pete next to him saw this scene and hurriedly said: "Lord Hunter, Dean is our seed target, someone specially cultivated by the headquarters, who may become a hunter in the future, please don't take offense to him, if he has anything If you offend you, I will ask him to apologize to you..."
"Get out!" The scarlet woman turned back and yelled.
Pete was suddenly stunned by the roar.
The scarlet woman stood up slowly, staring at Du Dian condescendingly, full of resentment, anger, and sadness.
Du Di'an thought she had investigated what evidence she had left behind, so she came here to question her, but she didn't expect that she was just taking out her anger, and when she saw the sadness and anger in her strange eyes, she couldn't help but move in her heart and asked, "Listen. Said that a hunter died in the eighth district, who is he from you?"
"Shut up!" The scarlet woman raised her palm angrily and slapped it.
Du Di'an's face changed slightly, he hurriedly leaned back quickly, and thrillingly escaped the slap, and at the same time quickly stepped back a few steps, opened the distance, and looked at each other again, there was already a bit of anger and killing in his heart if this slap was a slap Ordinary scavengers like Macon are at least seriously injured. He is very aware of the power of hunters, and at the same time believes that the power of this woman must be stronger than himself.
Pete was startled when he saw the other party's action, and when he saw Du Dian dodging, he was even more horrified and speechless.
The scarlet woman was also stunned, looked up at Du Dian, the grief and anger in her eyes suddenly turned cold, and said: "You are a newcomer scavenger, even if you are blessed twenty or even thirty times, you may not have such a reaction speed. , who are you!"
Du Dian's eyes turned cold. Although he knew that the woman was in grief and anger just now, judging from the merciless shot, he didn't care about the severity. Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, even if he accidentally killed a scavenger, he would only get A few words of criticism, and even the consortium will take the initiative to shelter her, help her eliminate criminal evidence and confessions, and avoid the judgment of the court.
It is precise because the punishment for murder is too light that he does not care about life.
"I will record this slap today." Du Di'an stared at her and said, "If someone gives me a favor, I will pay it back ten times, and if I give me pain, I will retaliate a hundred times!"
"Huh?" The scarlet woman's face turned cold, "You dare to threaten me?" As she spoke, the figure suddenly rushed out.
