116 Remember Not to Control Yourself

When Lin Ye reported his location and said that he had killed a polluter, Yang Wei was speechless.

“Uh, I’ll be right there!”

After ending the call with Yang Wei, Lin Ye looked at the polluter covered in red bandages in front of him and touched his chin.

Why did they encounter polluters here?

When Iron Axe saw Lin Ye staring at the polluter in a daze, he thought that he had never seen this thing before. He immediately started explaining.

“Hall Master Lin, this kind of thing is easier to see outside the city.”

“Especially in some small-scale beast tides or in a certain corner of the wasteland outside the city. They specially hid in a corner to launch sneak attacks.”

Lin Ye nodded.

“Are they hard to deal with?”

Hearing Lin Ye’s question, Iron Axe nodded.

“Well, compared to mutated beasts, polluters are much harder to deal with at the same level.”

Then, he immediately said proudly,

“However, this kind of thing is not difficult for me. They can’t withstand my ax at all and I can directly kill them!”

“Of course, you’re also very powerful, so it’s naturally not a problem.”

After automatically filtering out the compliments behind the iron axe, Lin Ye asked thoughtfully,

“Is it very easy to encounter small-scale beast tides outside the city?”

“Yes, it is.”

“What’s the exact scale?”

Iron Axe raised his head, his eyes slightly upturned, as if he was thinking about something.

“Uh… Usually, there are about a few hundred of them. If you’re unlucky, you can encounter tens of thousands of them, especially if they mobilize the Burrowing Worms. There are at least tens of thousands of them.”

“Tens of thousands? That many?”

Hearing this number, Lin Ye was a little surprised.

After all, the Burrowing Worm he encountered before he moved last time had only transported a few hundred mutated beasts in.

“Can all the burrowing worms deliver this much?”

“That’s right.”

“Can the Burrowing Worm be sent directly into the city from underground?”

Iron Axe shook his head.

“Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be possible. The burrowing worm can only dig for a kilometer at most, but there are garrisons within two kilometers of the city. As long as they dig in, they will be discovered.”

“However, there will occasionally be fish that slip through the net and enter the city wall, but generally speaking, this won’t pose much of a threat.”

Lin Ye was enlightened.

At first, he had thought the same as Su Hongcheng. He had thought that Wu Yan was the typical “human traitor”. That he had deliberately caused the abnormal beast invasion last time.

Of course, even if this “misunderstanding” was completely resolved, the next time Lin Ye met Wu Yan, he would not give him good treatment.

“Hall Master Lin, if you want to go out of the city to take a look, just come to the east gate to look for me.”

“Our Tomahawk… Ah, no, our Axe Gang’s base is at the east gate.”

“As for the area outside the city, not to mention anything else, the people from those legions are not as familiar as us after more than three kilometers.”

Looking at Iron Axe, who was exaggerating, Lin Ye nodded and did not refuse.

He had a feeling that he would leave the city sooner or later.

Moreover, many people would probably choose to leave the city.

Just look at the number of people who came to the gym to buy beasts today.

It might have exceeded a thousand by now.

In addition to the 3,000 people in the academy, there were four to five thousand people who had subdued beasts.

After a while, when more and more people had beasts, the number of crystal cores they would need to consume every day would reach a terrifying number.

Even if most people’s beasts were mainly white and green.

But a Level 1 crystal core was still a crystal core~

Even if they could not guarantee that they could feed one a day.

Even if he had to feed it for ten days, half a month, or even a month, after the number of beasts increased, it would be a huge consumption.

“What kind of missions do your mercenary groups usually accept?”

Iron Axe scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face.

“Uh… To be honest, our mercenary group has not received any commission missions for a long time.”

At this point, the burly man complained like an old farmer with a bad harvest.

“It was fine a few years ago. The lords in the city still wanted to explore the wilderness and took the initiative to explore further outside the city.”

“At that time, our mercenary groups were living a good life.”

“We get commissions from time to time.”

“If we can find some items from the wastelands outside the city before the pollution happens when we complete the mission, we can still make a windfall.”

Lin Ye could tell that Iron Axe really wanted to go back to the past.

As the man spoke, the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up.

“But as time passed, those old masters found that doing so was very strenuous and unrewarding.”

“The funds, manpower, material resources, and gains consumed in the exploration are not equal at all. Moreover, we will encounter beast tides from time to time.”

“It began to slow down its exploration until it stopped completely.”

“In the end, we will only stay within two kilometers of the city to prevent and avoid the beast tide.”

At this point, Iron Axe sighed.

“Therefore, in recent years, us so-called mercenaries have almost become hunters.”

“We can only survive by killing exotic beasts.”

“Otherwise, how could we explore ten kilometers outside the city?”

“And—”

Iron Axe smiled bitterly and sighed.

“Nowadays, only high-level crystal cores can be sold for a good price.”

“For people like Class 1 and 2, the profits are too low. Even larger mercenary groups disdain to do this.”
