Doomsday Code

Chapter 749 Rogue 6

However, it is not known whether the news of Chen Cheng's identity being exposed was too explosive. This is already a lawless area and the most discussed topic now is still about him.

After listening for a long time, it was nothing more than some bragging about what would happen if he found Brown and got the bounty.

Just as Chen Cheng was about to get up and leave, someone in the crowd, perhaps someone really drunk, heard the guy who had been boasting before being pushed around and yelling:

"Don't be skeptical, I know of a place where the old and young people of the empire live. I think His Majesty, now that his identity has been exposed, will definitely come looking for these people. If I report this news, I will be the Sixth Master after Mang Liu."

However, none of the other drinkers believed him, because this guy was just a gangster who had fled here for refuge. His favorite thing was to brag to others and take advantage of them to get drinks.

So not only did no one believe him this time, but when he was about to leave, someone even grabbed him and pointed at him and said:

"You're such a scoundrel, you're trying to get us to pay for your drinks again, right? Hurry up and pay for the drinks, or you can forget about being Mr. Liu. If you can walk out of this door today, we won't be considered men anymore."

When Mangliu saw that he had been discovered, he pleaded:

"I really didn't lie to you this time. I'm really broke right now. If anyone among you gives me money, I'll repay you a hundredfold once I claim the reward."

"Hey, you finally showed your true colors. You lied to me like that last time, and I wasted my time waiting. No one will believe your lies this time."

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Mang Liu immediately collapsed to the ground, hugged the man's thigh and said:

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Seeing that the fist as big as a sandbag was about to hit his face, Chen Cheng said:

"How much is the wine? I paid for it. Heroes, please don't bother with people like him."

As he said this, Chen Cheng bowed to everyone.

Then a voucher worth ten gold coins appeared in his hand.

The bartender was quick to take the voucher from Chen Cheng and said with a smile:

"That's it. Mangliu's account with me has been settled. You can take him away now, sir."

Chen Cheng nodded, then bowed to the others and left the tavern.

Sheli, who was following behind, exuded an aura of keeping strangers away. He came in front of Mangliu, grabbed his collar and said:

"Come with me."

Mangliu came to his senses and immediately followed him happily.

Seeing the three people leave, the big man who had grabbed Mangliu and wanted to beat him up said with contempt:

"Another one has been deceived by Mangliu."

The brother beside him patted his shoulder and said:

"Brother, why do you care so much? Let's continue drinking."

After leaving the tavern, Mangliu looked at Chen Cheng, who looked rough, and with a smirk on his face, he approached him and said:

"My name is Mangliu. Thank you for your help just now. To be honest, every word I said just now is the truth..."

"You mean you admit your mistakes yourself, and those old people and young people are just making up stories."

After being interrupted by Chen Cheng, Mangliu choked, and then continued shamelessly:

"I was forced to do that. Actually, I do know a place where the old and young live together. If you want to know..."

Having said that, Mangliu deliberately paused to observe Chen Cheng's expression, just to see if Chen Cheng wanted to find that old man.

However, Chen Cheng was wearing a human skin mask on his face, so it was impossible for him to see any subtle expressions, and Chen Cheng ignored him.

He took him and Sheli directly to the hotel that provided accommodation in the town.

After checking into the room, they took Mangliu upstairs. Along the way, Mangliu kept probing them with words, but Chen Cheng and the others remained silent.

But if he wanted to leave, the murderous intent in Sheli would force him not to wander around.

After entering the room, he sent the servant away and observed the layout of the room. Then Chen Cheng took out the array pattern plate and set up an isolation magic array.

After doing all this, Chen Cheng sat down in the main seat.

After reading this whole process, Mangliu had already knelt down before Chen Cheng.

He could see that Chen Cheng and the other two were not ordinary wanderers, but at least adventurers from a top guild.

How could a street thug like him dare to show off in front of an adventurer who kills without blinking an eye?

"Sir, I confess everything. I found out about that settlement by chance. I was drunk that day and walked outside the town. Then, in a daze, I saw a woman being molested.

I thought the woman was pretty, and being drunk and emboldened, I rushed over and got beaten up.

When I woke up, I found myself in a valley, and I was brought in by the woman.

Later, after I lived in that valley for a while, I found out that they were the remnants of the empire who had hidden in the valley to avoid being hunted down.

After I recovered from my injuries, I was blindfolded and escorted out. But they didn't know that I had a very good nose. I walked around soberly and used my nose to memorize the route."

Speaking of this, a smug look appeared on Mangliu's face.

Chen Cheng never expected that such a bad guy actually had a gifted side. If he had met a famous teacher when he was young, he might have been able to make a name for himself with this nose.

But now, he has been squeezed dry by Chen Cheng and has to start over again.

In fact, Chen Cheng had no intention of killing anyone at first. After all, he grew up in a society ruled by law. But after listening to this guy's story, he felt just like the ungrateful fisherman in Peach Blossom Spring.

When he learned this article, he hated people like fishermen. Now that he encountered one in real life, and it concerned him personally, Chen Cheng naturally wanted to kill him.

So Chen Cheng ignored Mangliu and looked at him and let him continue speaking.

However, Mangliu was usually very good at talking because he knew those people inside and out. But now he met Chen Cheng and the other two strangers, who were also very generous in their treatment, so he showed his weakness.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Chen Cheng said:

"I'm not interested in that. I want to ask you what you need to prepare if you want to enter the vast desert at this time."

Mangliu didn't expect Chen Cheng to ask this question. He thought Chen Cheng would ask about the route to the settlement, so that he could turn the passive situation into the active one.

But now that Chen Cheng changed the topic, he had no time to think and could only answer truthfully.

"No matter when you enter the Great Desert, all you need is water and sand-proofing. If you can afford it, it's best to prepare more water-type magic crystals."

Chen Cheng was not very satisfied with this answer, because everyone knew that one had to bring water when going to the desert.

When Mangliu saw Chen Cheng frowning, his heart also tightened, and then he immediately explained:

"Sir, I'm not lying. All you need to enter the desert is enough water... Oh, and enough food. Other than that, you won't encounter any other life forms in there."

Mangliu added hurriedly.
