Moreover, this female soldier known as "0" was crafty and lacked a spirit of teamwork. His rational mind told him that such a person was even harder to deal with than a wasp’s nest, and it was wise to provoke her less.
Yijie saw that there were only weak cries of pain left below, and knew it was ti for the final cleanup, so he slid down from the tree.
On the other side, "0" also jumped down. The two glanced at each other and quickly looked away.
Dozens of underlings and three chieftains were repelled in a short period of ti.
Having two people in combat was indeed faster than just one. Yijie was tallying the number of bandits they had dealt with, while "0" was also busily enjoying herself.
"The underlings carry 50 military coins each, and the chieftains have a chance to carry hemostatic herb and a fine-forged iron blade curved knife." "0" had already scavenged all the possessions from the bodies, and she held an electronic notepad in her hand, with her stylus pen moving non-stop.
This was "0"’s first ti participating in a bandit extermination operation with so many people, and the task should now be considered half complete. However, the rewards were much richer than she expected, with more than just military rit. She also found that useful dicines and equipnt could be found on the bandits.
As long as she did her reconnaissance well beforehand, she could obtain certain items directly from the bandits next ti she needed them.
Little Eight shivered after understanding "0"’s thoughts, (Sure enough, "0" is extrely evil. Under shaless circumstances, she’s even learned to plunder by force. The enemy bandits on Military Road are going to suffer in the future.)
Yijie heard her muttering and just walked over to ask what she was holding in her hand.
A bandit’s attire was thrown at him, "Put on the clothes, and we’ll continue forward."
Realizing she had used a commanding tone, and the big man behind her was staring with a murderous gaze, "0" turned around, reluctantly changing her tone, "It’s getting dark, it’s better to act under cover of darkness."
No sooner had she said it’s better to act in the dark did "0" blush at the ears; the sky was darkening, and here they were, alone together.
Fortunately, Yijie had a shaved head like a Monk and a mind like one, too. He understood "0"’s aning and changed into the bandit’s clothes, blending into their camp, doubling their efficiency.
The bandit’s clothing was sowhat different from the traditional gown of Babylon, more akin to nomadic attire, with a half-length tunic with laces on the top and lantern-style loose pants below. Regular clothes never fit Yijie’s large fra. But the set of clothes "0" tossed to him fit just right, from the top to the pant length.
Lu Xun (Yijie) had rarely received clothes from a woman ever since he beca sensible. He used to wear rags barely enough to cover his body, gathered from trash when he was a street urchin. Later, due to taking in his sister Ding Ling, he was adopted. But Ding Ling had a brother complex and liked to cling to Lu Xun whenever possible. Not even their foster mother could get too close to him.
The clothes Ding Ling gave, though costly, never suited Lu Xun’s (Yijie’s) taste. Not to ntion, their sizes were always just right. Yijie felt a touch moved, his dislike for "0" fading slightly.
He fixed the loose belt of his attire and heard the rustling sounds of changing clothes from behind. Knowing that "0" was also changing, Yijie waited a while longer.
After they were fully dressed, they tied up the remaining gasping bandits and gathered each person’s valuables. After counting, they had around 600 military coins, plus three iron blade curved knives, one fine-forged curved knife, and three packs of hemostatic herb. The total value, roughly speaking, was worth more than a thousand military coins.
"We have no use for the curved knives; let’s sell them for money, and you’ll be in charge of collecting them. You were injured just now, so I’ll give you a pack of hemostatic herb, and the remaining two are for ." "0" pointed at the bulges on Yijie’s forehead, a smile inadvertently appearing at the corners of her mouth.
Yijie saw her smile as well, but this ti he didn’t speak, simply accepting the hemostatic herb.
"We’ll split the remaining money, half for each of us," "0" calculated clearly. Her military pack, the most basic, could only hold 10 items. The mission book, Investigation Manual, system map, needle shooting gun, and slingshot could already take up five slots. Similar items could be stored in one slot, and hemostatic herb took another. The remaining space was limited.
Yijie’s military pack looked bulkier and of higher quality than "0"’s. If they ca across any more miscellaneous items along the way, she would entrust them to him. After all, once back at Babylon City and converted into money, they would still split it evenly. Although they hadn’t cooperated many tis, an imperceptible tacit understanding had already begun to grow, albeit unnoticed by both.
The process of dividing the loot went surprisingly smoothly. Yijie, who had previously acted like a superior officer, now obeyed ekly, like a little wife, following "0"’s instructions.
"With one effort, strike into the enemy bandits’ stronghold," "0" bellowed against the setting sun, feeling an upswell of fiery blood inside her.
Her voice carried far, several kiloters away at the bandit headquarters, where a White-clothed Soldier was fighting alone.
His weapon was neither gun nor Hand Cannon, nor a blade. Human blood, warm, dripped on his Weapon. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
