Sure enough, with the departure of the old people, most of the newcomers became uneasy.
The only adventurers who had some experience in other work seemed very quiet. This was a very normal situation for them.
"what to do?"
"All the veterans have left. So, we can only rely on our own experience to do things!"
"No, isn't it strange that all the veterans are asked to take on other tasks?"
"I heard that the mortality rate of this mission in the Temple is actually very high. So that's how it is. I don't want to participate anymore!"
The people around had their own ideas. Some people were ready to leave, but more people did not make any moves. It was obvious that these people were already fully qualified mercenaries.
Seeing people around talking about it, the person in charge, Wang An, spoke up: "First of all, I want to explain to you about this matter! According to past experience, the lowest mortality rate is one-third, and the highest mortality rate is 90%. If you don't want to take risks, you can leave."
As soon as the news came out, many people were preparing to leave, cursing.
"What a joke, the mortality rate is so high."
"It's ridiculous that the death rate after the elderly pass away is so high. They are playing with our lives!"
"No matter how much money you give me, I still don't want to do it! What the hell."
This analysis is like an order to expel someone.
Suddenly, the newcomers around began to withdraw one after another, but more than 200 people still stopped. Obviously, these 200 people were not afraid of death, at least they all thought they could survive.
If you want to survive, you must at least have confidence. At least these people have a much greater chance of survival than those who left.
At this time, Wang An continued, "Are there still people who want to leave? If you are afraid of death or have concerns about your family, I still advise you to leave, because when you set foot on a new land, each of you is a lonely individual. Each of you will be responsible for an area in this mission. Does anyone still have any questions? If not, we can continue the selection!"
At this time, a young mercenary raised his hand and stood up, asking: "Excuse me, can we team up to complete it? For example, this is the area for the three of us, and then the three of us team up to explore these three areas. Logically speaking, the work has not changed!"
The people around him nodded, obviously agreeing with this point. If you want to explore alone when you can do something with a team, then you are stupid.
However, Wang An smiled and said, "Why do you think there is an area for each of these events?"
Everyone was puzzled, looking at each other.
Is it to save money? After all, the price of hiring mercenaries is there.
But if you think about it carefully, the boss behind this is the Temple after all. If we talk about the country that is least short of money in this world, it must be the Temple.
But then I thought, maybe one of them was taking kickbacks.
But after thinking about it, everyone showed a puzzled expression. Obviously, no answer stood up to these people's thinking.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wang An spoke up at this time: "Because it's very simple, let me explain it to you! The danger level for one person entering these dangerous areas is one, but if two people appear in this area at the same time, the danger level will become ten, and if there are three people, the danger level may rise to fifty or sixty. Now you understand, it's not because I want you to take risks that I don't allow you to form a team, but because this is a task that can only be completed safely by relying on personal strength and judgment. It requires extremely high personal accomplishment."
"Then why not allow the elderly to participate?" Someone else raised the question in his mind. Apparently, this was also the question shared by many people present.
Seeing this, Wang An smiled and said, "Because the areas they are exploring are different, they are going to a derivative of the area they have been to before, and you are going to a completely new area. This is also for your safety, because although the places you are going to have certain similarities, due to regional differences, they are actually completely different areas. If you hold on to your inherent ideology, then these experienced old people will probably die the fastest."
Indeed, false intelligence and exaggerated self-confidence are more harmful than no intelligence at all.
Everyone nodded, obviously fully accepting this explanation.
Then another person asked, "So what's the reward? High risk means high reward. It's such a dangerous thing, but there's no reward listed!"
Wang An nodded. It was true that most tasks would have an intended remuneration written in it, and the specific price could still be negotiated, but this time there was no such statement.
Looking at everyone, mercenaries take risks not for the sake of adventure, but for the money behind the adventure. Obviously, the people here also take risks for the money after the adventure.
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Wang An looked at everyone and said, "Regarding the reward, I can tell you this. Due to the danger of this incident, we will not collect your deposit. This is one reason. The second reason is that you will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan as soon as you land. Then, if you bring something out of there, there will be different rewards. For example, a plant sample, or a biological sample, we will give rewards for these. The specific information will be given to you later after you pass the test."
"Then how do we get there?" Someone asked in confusion. Since they have to enter, and enter regionally, the most likely possibility is airdrop. However, the biggest problem with airdrop is that they cannot get out.
You have to know that airdrops inside may require crossing several regions before they can come out. Compared with those who are short on the outside, the degree of danger is constantly increasing.
This question may seem unimportant, but it is very important.
Yu Sheng looked at the person who asked the question. He was a mercenary with a foot-long white beard. It was obvious that this guy was very experienced.
Seeing someone asking this question, Wang Angao glanced at him and thought that there was definitely a high probability that this person would get out alive.
He looked at everyone and explained, "First, when you enter, we will use airships to let you parachute in your own area or fly directly down."
Everyone nodded. It turned out that it was delivered by airship. However, no one cared about how to get in. After all, getting in was certain, but how to get out was the key.
Just when everyone thought that Wang An would give a good answer, Wang An said, "The way to get out is for everyone to come out and call the airship. I will pick you up in the safe zone."
