Chapter 173

As soon as the two cars drove into Tianchang City, they encountered a roadblock. Someone immediately stopped their vehicles. However, this situation was not only for Li Yi and others, but other vehicles were the same.

"Vehicles driving from the danger zone and the abandoned city area should stop on the side to accept inspection. At the same time, clean up the corpses of fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures. These things cannot be brought into Tianchang City and must be handled on the spot." Some staff members said loudly while directing.

Li Yi looked out of the car window.

Only to see many company personnel on the side of the road, who were recycling fierce beast corpses, and some people were checking practitioners. Even vehicles entering and leaving the danger zone had to be investigated, ensuring that there was nothing suspicious.

Everyone got out of the car, and two staff members immediately walked over.

"Are the fierce beasts in the car hunted by you? Do you choose to turn them in, or choose to sell them?" A staff member asked immediately.

Cheng Pingfang seemed to be the team leader. He immediately said: "We hunted a total of twelve fierce beasts this time. Each person turns in one, and the rest are sold."

"Okay, report your names and identity information. I will arrange for someone to count them for you immediately." After the staff member finished speaking, he immediately greeted a team of people. Soon, several Spirit Medium Realm practitioners ran over. After the leader checked and confirmed that there was no problem, he quickly unloaded the fierce beast corpses on the car, then loaded them onto another car and transported them away directly.

"Cheng Pingfang, successfully turned in one fierce beast."

"Fang Hang, successfully turned in one fierce beast."

"Lu Jue, successfully turned in one fierce beast."

"Zhao Xiaoxiao..."

Only to see that staff member holding a special tablet computer to scan faces constantly, register information, and record the fierce beasts they turned in.

"Hey, you are an external combat personnel of the Investigation Bureau... Li Yi?" When the staff member scanned Li Yi, the information that popped up made him surprised. Then he immediately said: "External combat personnel do not need to turn in fierce beasts. Sorry, it was my work error. I apologize to you."

"It's okay." Li Yi was a bit puzzled, then looked to the side.

Lu Jue walked over and whispered: "Li Yi, the investigators of the Investigation Bureau, and the external combat personnel have suffered heavy losses recently... The above has special care for them."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded, and he understood a little.

After the staff member registered all the information, he immediately said: "Five people, recycled five fierce beasts, the information has been confirmed. The value of each fierce beast will be evaluated by a special appraiser. After the evaluation is completed, the money will be transferred to the bank card under your name. Remember to check."

After speaking, the two staff members left quickly and went to the side of other vehicles to continue working.

"It seems quite good. After turning in the fierce beasts, they will actually give money. In this way, hunting fierce beasts is still a good business." Li Yi said.

"That's right. Now practitioners with strong strength have regarded hunting fierce beasts and hunting extraordinary creatures as a business. After they finish hunting, there will be special people to recycle them. The recycled fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures will be resold to some companies and people who have not completed the hunting quota."

Zhao Xiaoxiao walked over and said: "My money is not enough, I can't afford a fierce beast, so I can only take risks to enter the danger zone to complete the hunting task."

"How much is a fierce beast now?" Li Yi asked.

"The recycling price above may be about five million, but if you want to buy it, it will be expensive. It starts at at least ten million. Moreover, the quota for fierce beasts is very tight. It has been speculated very high now, and it is a market price every day. Even morning and afternoon may differ by one or two million," Zhao Xiaoxiao said helplessly.

"However, the price of fierce beasts is barely acceptable to us practitioners. But extraordinary creatures are different. It starts at 100 million... But fortunately, we haven't reached Spirit Perception. Once Spirit Perception is opened, we have to turn in an extraordinary creature to complete the task." Lu Jue couldn't help but smack his lips.

Li Yi's eyelids jumped: "Spirit Perception experts need to turn in extraordinary creatures? This difficulty is a bit high."

He still remembered the incident where Yang Yi Long and Qin Qing joined forces to hunt extraordinary creatures. Both of them joined forces and almost had problems. The strength of extraordinary creatures is generally much stronger than Spirit Perception experts.

"Yes, but the stronger the practitioner, the more they have to pay. Otherwise, how can the situation be stabilized? With great ability comes great responsibility. Is it possible that we have to take risks, and experts don't need to take risks? This is so unfair. Moreover, fierce beasts are less harmful, and extraordinary creatures are more dangerous. We must prioritize solving extraordinary creatures," Lu Jue said.

Li Yi nodded deeply when he heard this.

That's right.

The stronger the practitioner, the greater the responsibility they need to bear. If strong practitioners avoid responsibility, how can the situation be stabilized?

Just when the two were chatting.

Several people walked over immediately: "Everyone, are you practitioners who returned from hunting fierce beasts in the danger zone? Hello, I am from the Fierce Beast Recycling Company. Do you sell the fierce beasts you hunted? Our recycling price has always been very high, ensuring that you will not suffer a loss. This is my business card."

"Li Yi, let me go and talk to them. I am more familiar with this aspect," Zhao Xiaoxiao asked.

Other practitioners remained silent. They knew that the extra fierce beasts were Li Yi's spoils of war, and they were not qualified to handle them, so whether to sell or not depends on Li Yi's opinion.

"Okay, you help me talk and see how much money the remaining fierce beasts can sell for." Li Yi agreed.

He disappeared for more than twenty days and was not very clear about the current situation, let alone the price of fierce beasts. Since Zhao Xiaoxiao volunteered to do this, she must be confident. Let her talk about the price, maybe there will be surprises.

Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately began to negotiate with the boss.

"We have seven fierce beasts, just hunted in the danger zone, and they are preserved very well. How much can you offer for one? If the price is high, I can consider selling all the fierce beasts to you. If you are not satisfied with the price, I will consider other recycling companies."

"The price of an ordinary fierce beast this morning is 12 million. However, there are very few vehicles entering and leaving the danger zone today, and not many fierce beasts have been recycled. The price in the afternoon will rise a little. I can give you a sincere price of 12.5 million, but the premise is that all your seven fierce beasts must be sold to me, so that I won't lose money," the boss said, gritting his teeth, looking like he was very painful.

"The recycling price of ordinary fierce beasts yesterday has reached 14 million. Even if it falls back a bit today, it won't fall to 12.5 million. Your price is too low. It seems you are not sincere. I'll find someone else," Zhao Xiaoxiao shook her head and said directly the market price of yesterday.

When the boss heard it, he knew that the other party had done homework, and immediately said: "The shortage of fierce beast quotas has passed its peak, and it will fall back later. The price of fierce beasts will only continue to fall. This is already a very high recycling price, and I have to make some money, don't I?"

"The subsequent market changes have nothing to do with us. We don't do business. The market price is like this now. If you are willing to collect at 14 million, we will sell. If not, forget it," Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

The two kept bargaining.

Because both knew the bottom price of the market, the discussion process did not last long.

Finally, Zhao Xiaoxiao insisted on 14 million and did not let go. The boss had no choice but to buy all the remaining seven fierce beasts at this price and signed a contract very happily, paying and transferring money on the spot.

Zhao Xiaoxiao asked Li Yi for the bank card number. After a while, Li Yi received a huge sum of money.

The total price was 98 million.

Nearly 100 million. For Li Yi now, this can be considered a huge sum of money.

"The price of fierce beasts has risen so outrageously? A few fierce beasts are nearly 100 million?" Li Yi couldn't help thinking of the tiger he hunted before.

The price of a tiger was only a few million. It was only because Yang Yi Long needed to win people's hearts at that time, so he bought it at a double premium, so it sold for 20 million.

Just this one fierce beast is worth 14 million, which is already twice the usual.

"I was actually so generous, giving 14 million to each person. No wonder others would be grateful to me. If it were me, I would have to kowtow at least once," Li Yi secretly thought in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a headache for his generous behavior.

Saving a life, and giving a fierce beast to each person, this is indeed no different from being a reborn parent.

Is this what he is making friends? It is simply recognizing a son. But just returned, don't know the market, it is normal for such things to happen.

"By the way, if you have other things, go ahead and get busy. I want to return to the old city area to take a look." Li Yi changed the subject at this moment and said.

"Li Yi, I'll send you. It just so happens that the things here are also finished," Lu Jue said immediately.

"Okay, then trouble you." Li Yi nodded and didn't refuse.

Zhao Xiaoxiao also said: "Then send me a ride by the way. I'm injured and need to go to the hospital. Just drop me off when you pass by the hospital."

"Okay." Lu Jue hesitated, but agreed. After all, they were teammates.

Soon.

Lu Jue's car was released after inspection and confirmed that there was no problem.

He drove into the city, first passed by a hospital to drop off the injured Zhao Xiaoxiao. Although she looked fine after being injured, her state was a bit bad and she needed to receive treatment immediately.

After sending Zhao Xiaoxiao to the hospital, Lu Jue specially sent Li Yi back to the old city area.

Compared with a month ago, there were significantly fewer people in the old city area, revealing a sense of desolation everywhere. There were no pedestrians on the road, no cars, and various shops were closed. The street was quiet, with only one or two people passing by in a hurry occasionally.

Li Yi's eyes swept over, and he instinctively smelled a trace of unusual aura here.

There is an indescribable sense of unease.

"The old city area actually became like this." Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the changes in the world were too fast, so fast that he couldn't accept it himself.

"No way, before the supernatural events in the old city area are solved, the people living here are panicked. If they are not handled well, the people in the old city area will only become fewer and fewer. Li Yi, be careful after entering the old city area. Don't be careless. Although it looks safe in broad daylight, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no danger suddenly appearing," Lu Jue shook his head and expressed helplessness.

"Okay, I know." Li Yi also raised his vigilance.

Soon.

The vehicle stopped at the entrance of the old residential area where he lived.

There are still some people near this residential area, because it is still safe here, and the place where supernatural events occurred is a bit far away, so some people chose to continue living here and did not move away.

After all, the cost of moving away from here is too great, and not everyone has such conditions.

"Lu Jue, do me a favor. I have two medical cabins at home. This time I decided to move directly and leave here. Help me move the medical cabins," Li Yi suddenly said.

He made up his mind to leave here.

If he doesn't leave, Li Yi is worried that he will also be implicated.

"Okay, this is a small matter, no problem," Lu Jue said. Although he is only Spirit Medium Realm, moving a medical cabin is no problem.

Two people got out of the car and walked straight into the residential area.

However, as soon as he entered the residential area, Li Yi's footsteps stopped suddenly.

Some kind of strange induction appeared, which made his vertical pupils glow, and he looked directly at the window of a residential building nearby.

The window was pitch black, with no light and no abnormality.

"Li Yi, what's wrong?" Lu Jue couldn't help but jump in his heart at Li Yi's abnormal reaction, fearing that he would encounter something at this moment.

"It seems that something is peeping at me there. It was a bit wrong as soon as I entered this residential area... Forget it, move after moving." Li Yi took back his gaze and walked quickly toward the residential building where his home was located.

The dark and narrow corridor made people feel depressed.

The air was filled with a damp and moldy smell, and accompanied by this smell, there was a faint smell of rot around, as if someone in a household died of a cat or a dog. This smell was unbearable.

Li Yi has lived in this residential area for so many years. For the first time, he felt that it was no longer suitable to stay here.

Arrived at the third floor.

The damaged and repaired door appeared in front of him.

Knocked on the door, no one opened the door, and it was quiet inside.

"Maybe your relatives are not at home today," Lu Jue said.

Li Yi nodded, took out the key, and opened the door.

The house was clean, and it looked like someone was taking care of it. He immediately walked toward the room where the medical cabin was placed.

Entered the bedroom.

Two old-model medical cabins appeared in front of Li Yi. The medical cabin was running well, and the nutrient solution inside was also replenished in time. It seems that everything at home was normal during the time he was away, and no accidents occurred.

"Li Yi, why is there a spear in your living room?"

Suddenly, Lu Jue in the living room saw a bronze spear floating in mid-air. He felt inconceivable and very magical.

"This is a strange weapon I brought from the Ghost Street. I put it at home to suppress the house, but ordinary people can't see it. Only practitioners who have opened the Spirit Medium can see it. Unfortunately, it is not a strange object." Li Yi saw that his parents in the medical cabin were safe and sound. He returned to the living room and said casually.

"A strange weapon brought from the Ghost Street? It's really not simple. I also know that Ghost Street. Many practitioners have entered it by mistake, but they all died and no one came back. It is said that some people have seen Yin soldiers wandering on the Ghost Street, and the weapons in their hands are a bit like yours," Lu Jue sighed immediately.

Li Yi said: "Now is not the time to care about that. Help me move the medical cabin to the car first. I will tidy up the things."

"Okay." Lu Jue took back his gaze. He walked into the room immediately and cooperated with Li Yi to carefully lift a medical cabin out.

Although the medical cabin is very heavy, it is not a problem for two practitioners at all.

Before long.

The medical cabin belonging to Li Yi's father was safely placed on the pickup truck at the door.

The two then lifted the second medical cabin out.

This is the medical cabin belonging to Li Yi's mother.

"Li Yi, your mother..." Just as he walked out of the residential building, Lu Jue looked at the woman in the medical cabin and couldn't help but speak suddenly.

"What's wrong with my mother?"

However, at this moment, Li Yi's expression seemed a bit wrong, slightly crazy, vertical pupils turned black, and a terrible killing intent burst out. It seemed that if Lu Jue dared to say half a bad word, he would take action without hesitation and kill him.

"No, nothing..."

Lu Jue's hair stood on end instantly, feeling Li Yi's abnormality, and said hurriedly: "I just think your mother seems much younger than your father. She hasn't aged at all after being in the medical cabin for so many years."

"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Li Yi's voice was exceptionally calm, and his black vertical pupils looked very evil. Because his pupils could not be seen, it made people feel inexplicably terrified, completely like a different person.

"Very normal, very normal, it's me overthinking." Cold sweat broke out on Lu Jue's forehead. He felt that he could not mention his mother in front of Li Yi in the future, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

"Hmm, continue to move things."

Li Yi's calm tone gradually had a trace of ups and downs, and a pair of black vertical pupils slowly returned to normal.

"Wait for me in the car, I'll pack up and leave."

After moving the second medical cabin to the car, Li Yi greeted and returned home.

Seeing Li Yi leave, Lu Jue in the car breathed a sigh of relief. Did he go to the danger zone and his spirit was too tight? Why did he feel that Li Yi suddenly changed his temperament and suddenly changed into a different person?

Hey?

Just when he thought so, Lu Jue suddenly saw a person standing by the car in the rearview mirror. It was a woman. The woman's face was pale, her expression was numb, and she looked exactly like Li Yi's mother.

Lu Jue was shocked and hurriedly stretched his head out to look behind the car.

However, outside the car, there was nothing.

When he looked at the rearview mirror again, he found that the woman in the rearview mirror had disappeared.

"Hallucination? Or is my nerve too nervous, and I saw it wrong?" Lu Jue's heart jumped wildly, feeling a bit weird, but he couldn't say it.
