Chapter 368 Slave Market

Chapter 145 Dragon Floating Island

As a neutral territory, Dragon Floating Island not only housed criminals, but also residents, workers, and the controllers' security force, known as the Dragon Floating Island Guard. It was a mixed bag of people, but whoever came to the island had to pay taxes to the controllers, and no one dared to break the rules, representing their awe of the controllers.

Dragon Floating Island was a typical low-security zone, where fighting was allowed. As long as residents and workers weren't killed and houses weren't demolished, the Dragon Floating Island Guard didn't care about outsiders killing each other. The atmosphere here was flamboyant, unrestrained, and barbaric. The city had no orderly planning, and was staggered and uneven. There was no sun or moon in the sky, only the city lights illuminated the floating island, filled with a mixed style of darkness and splendor, like a place of grand gathering, colorful and heavily painted, like a glass of red and black liquor.

Villains liked this place, not only because it was a neutral supply depot, but also because of the rules here. As long as they didn't cross the bottom line of the Dragon Floating Island Guard, they could indulge in violence and vent recklessly. In this place, killing and being killed didn't seem like a big deal anymore.

Han Xiao's sudden outburst triggered a chain reaction. The chaotic sound of machinery rang out, and the thugs on the whole street raised their guns, aiming at him, with fierce expressions, ready to fight, as if they were about to swarm him.

At this moment, the people from the three major mercenary groups all drew their weapons in unison, not showing any weakness. They surrounded Han Xiao, backing him up, with a tough attitude, defending their comrade.

The thugs who raised their guns hesitated immediately, afraid of hurting the innocent. They put away their weapons one after another, reluctantly retreating. Besides not wanting to provoke the three major mercenary groups, it was also because the fighting was too intense, and the Dragon Floating Island Guard was about to appear to enforce the law.

Under the fierce gaze of villains from all directions, the mercenary team of hundreds of people walked through this block, then put away their weapons, and continued to move forward with a calm expression. No one commented on the previous disturbance, as if they had just done a normal thing.

Ge Ya glanced at Han Xiao, without blaming him for his sudden action.

All the mercenaries backed him up, and acted as if nothing had happened afterward, forming a tacit understanding that didn't need explanation. Not to mention Melos, even the players were surprised.

"Here, being low-key is useless. You must show your claws and teeth to deter potential enemies. The mercenary industry also has a potential tacit understanding. Mercenaries participating in the same mission are all reliable teammates to each other, sharing the same breath and branches. As long as you don't cause too much trouble, everyone will advance and retreat with you. Your business is my business," Han Xiao said.

"Besides, killing some criminals is commonplace here, and it just happens to show your toughness. No one will gossip about it." Han Xiao directly skipped the steps of 'what are you looking at, what's it to you', and went straight up with a knife to cut open your peach blossoms, because here, you should do it if you can, and try not to BB.

Melos suddenly understood, and realized that Han Xiao meant to make the most of everything. He was now acting with the three major mercenary groups, with a large number of people and a strong momentum, taking advantage of this opportunity to show his fist under the tiger's banner.

This unspoken understanding immediately brought the players closer to the mercenaries.

Going deeper into the urban area of ​​Dragon Floating Island, there were fewer criminals on the street. According to the image of the client predicted by Han Xiao, everyone identified the other party's identity—Hollaide, the owner of a local slave market, and a subordinate of a direct subordinate of the floating island controller, managing a part of the commercial business.

"This is tricky. The other party is the Dragon Floating Island controller's subordinate. If we rob his slaves, we will offend him..."

On the street, the leaders of the mercenary groups gathered together to discuss. Tianhuan, Blade, and Zijin gave Han Xiao enough importance, and the four of them discussed the action plan together.

The current situation was a headache. Although the three major mercenary groups were not afraid of the criminals here because of their backstage, they dared not provoke the Dragon Floating Island controller.

"We can't anger the people of Dragon Floating Island, otherwise we're dead. We need to come up with a plan," said Port, the leader of Blade, in a calm tone.

Faseronni, the leader of Zijin next to him, rolled his eyes and pondered: "If Hollaide has already bought the Silver Spirit Race, we can't use force to rob them back. The best way is to intercept the captives before Hollaide pays. Since we know the client, we can wait for the scavengers to come to the door, ambush our people in advance, and rob the captives on the road, so that there will be no direct conflict with Hollaide."

"Then we need to confirm whether Hollaide has received the goods or not. As long as the captives haven't been bought by him, this plan is feasible. We must contact him... But if we negotiate as mercenaries, he will definitely become vigilant. A buyer doesn't want to see someone coveting what he's taken a fancy to, and may ask the Dragon Floating Island Guard to cause us trouble," said Ge Ya.

Waiting for the rabbit to be caught had a prerequisite, that was, Han Xiao's prediction was reliable. Since there were not many clues, everyone could only choose to believe it. Anyway, if the information was wrong, Han Xiao couldn't escape the responsibility. With someone to take the blame, the three leaders didn't panic.

Han Xiao volunteered, "I have a lot of experience, I can pretend to be a buyer to test him."

The three leaders thought it was feasible, and formulated a simple plan. Han Xiao put on a simulated mask, took off his mecha, and prepared a set of clothes, looking like a space captain, belonging to the middle class. Such guests were very common.

The inside of the slave market was a different kind of scenery, at least connected with the interstellar world. There was no dirt and chaos, but luxury and exquisiteness. There were many written materials of slaves for people to choose from.

Dragon Floating Island itself had intermediaries for the slave trade, acquiring slaves from scavengers and then selling them to big customers.

"I want to buy some slaves..."

As soon as he entered the market, Han Xiao expressed his intention, pretending to be a normal guest. A staff member with a face full of flesh greeted him with a smile, and introduced him to slaves of different races, with a wide variety.

After listening for a while, Han Xiao pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I don't want those thick, deformed ones, nor do I want those cheap, low-level slaves. I want to see your rare species. Don't you have any decent goods here?"

At this time, a short, thin guy walked over from the side, wearing luxurious clothes, with many precious ornaments on his fingers and neck, and said with a smile: "Hehe, of course I have good things here."

"Who are you?" Han Xiao asked.

"Hollaide, the operator of this slave market. Believe me, the things here will definitely meet your requirements." Hollaide did not doubt him, and was very enthusiastic in front of customers.

Han Xiao looked him up and down, nodded, and followed Hollaide when he gestured for him to come along. The two took the elevator to the bottom floor. After the door opened, there was a winding white corridor. There was a pure white alloy door on the corridor every other distance, with a small window on the door.

Walking up to it, he realized that behind the doors were all single cells, which were all plain white and very clean, locking up different creatures.

"Please allow me to introduce these high-quality slaves to you..." Hollaide spoke eloquently with a confident smile. Han Xiao echoed from time to time, observing the slaves in each cell. Most of them were numb, and some were angrily scratching the walls. Many of them were superpowers. The slaves here were more expensive and rare.

He quickly reached the end of the corridor, and there were no Silver Spirit Race in the nearly a hundred cells.

Hollaide stopped introducing and asked, "Who are you interested in?"

Han Xiao coughed and pretended, "Are there any other goods?"

"Haha, it seems that you are a picky customer. I like challenges." Hollaide laughed exaggeratedly twice and snapped his fingers, "There is one last good thing, she will definitely meet your requirements."

The wall at the end opened, revealing a new space with a new cell inside. Seeing this, Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one cell, so it was not the Silver Spirit Race. The group of captives had not yet arrived at Dragon Floating Island.

He walked forward and looked curiously at the window. Suddenly, his breath stagnated, completely a subconscious reaction. There was a woman locked inside, so beautiful that it was incredible. In terms of human aesthetics, this was a nearly perfect face. At first glance, it amazed Grand Technician Han.

This woman looked very young, with long hair wrapped in hazy stardust, with a very "immortal" temperament. Her appearance was that of an ordinary human race in the universe. She wore heavy alloy shackles all over her body. This kind of shackle was specially designed for superpowers. The materials used could make her strength become sluggish to a certain extent, making it difficult to mobilize, thereby reducing the explosive power of the superpower. She wore a self-destruct collar around her neck, which would blow her head off as soon as she moved.

However, this woman was very calm, completely different from other slaves. She was neither numb nor indignant. She sat in the corner with her eyes closed, very relaxed, and didn't care about her situation at all.

Just as Han Xiao was observing her, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and a pair of moving eyes that seemed to contain the sea of ​​stars suddenly reflected in Han Xiao's eyes. She stared at the one-way window of the cell, as if she knew someone was watching her outside the window.

"She seems to be a very powerful superpower..." Han Xiao thought to himself, and regained his composure. The amazement just now was purely a subconscious reaction at first glance. He quickly got rid of this emotion, glanced at it twice, and found that he didn't know this woman.

He was about to look away, but at this moment, the panel suddenly triggered a new task! Obviously, the trigger was this woman!
