The Scavengers

Chapter 111: 116|November 3rd

Views:

In Zhongshan City, there is an outdoor parking lot of a large supermarket located on the Third Ring Road.

The sun is scorching, the steam is steaming, the weather is incredibly hot, and the outdoor temperature has reached forty degrees.

Two figures were running and jumping quickly in the parking lot, and behind them were chasing a dozen huge wild dogs that were twice the size of ordinary large dogs.

These mutated wild dogs do not scream or bark. Their fur is full of ulcers, their eyes are blood-red, their mouths are wide open, and drool drips from the corners of their mouths, staring at their prey.

The man running behind seemed a little exhausted, breathing loudly, his steps gradually slowed down, and his running and jumping movements were no longer flexible.

The tall and thin man running at the front looked back, paused, and made a gesture to the people behind him to signal them to disperse.

The man behind nodded, and when passing two cars placed side by side, he suddenly jumped into the gap between the two cars.

The wild dog behind him jumped into the air. He lowered his head to look at the air raids on the two workshops, but saw no one.

The tall and thin man took this opportunity to let out a loud whistle, attracting all the wild dogs to look at him.

The tall and thin man turned around, seriously wounded a wild dog with a knife, then turned around and ran away.

The wild dogs were furious and all chased the lanky man.

The man lying under the car watched the wild dog go away, climbed out from under the car, and just wanted to recover the seriously injured wild dog.

The wild dog running at the back suddenly turned around and saw the man. It stopped chasing the tall and thin man, but quietly ran towards the man on tiptoe.

"Whoa!" The seemingly exhausted man unexpectedly swooped down and slashed into the neck of the charging wild dog. The wild dog whined and fell to the ground, then disappeared.

More than one wild dog escaped from the team, and several more wild dogs rushed over. The wilder the beast, the stronger its intuition. They can feel who of the two men who came to hunt them is stronger and who is easier to bully. Who would want to catch a more powerful prey when there is someone better to bully

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong came to hunt them, why didn't they regard them as prey? They have been hungry for a long time!

Xiao Mo had difficulty avoiding the siege of four wild dogs. Fortunately, there were many cars nearby, so he still had some room to hide.

His hair was soaked with sweat, and large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, even wetting his eyelashes.

The T-shirt he was wearing was so wet that it looked like it had been fished out of water. If you put your hand on the car, it would leave a clear watermark.

Xiao Mo lowered his body, leaned against the car door and quickly changed hands to hold the knife. He wiped his sweaty and slippery palm on his pants again and again, and held the sickle back to his dominant right hand.

He can use electric/shock guns and chemical bombs, but Xiaohong said that every battle is the best training opportunity, and ten simulation trainings are not as good as one actual combat, and he wants to awaken the warrior skills instilled in his subconscious and personalize himself. Actual combat is the best source of stimulation.

Besides, his newly optimized genes also require a lot of practice for the body's cells to adapt. Just like the best athletes have to exercise every day and gradually raise their goals, the human body is resilient, and the optimized genes only allow him to adapt. The physical toughness of the body increases. If others can withstand ten trainings, he can at least withstand fifteen. But if he doesn't do fifteen years of training, his body will not only not evolve, but will also degenerate.

Fortunately, he can repair his wounds at any time, which allows him to be close to fearless in close combat. People are like this. Once they overcome their psychological fear, they can do many things that ordinary people cannot do.

The wild dog raised its nose and sniffed. The thick smell of steaming blood could not completely cover up the stench of human sweat.

The wild dog moved slowly and found it!

Two wild dogs pounced on Xiao Mo's left and right sides at the same time, and two wild dogs attacked from the front.

"Whoa!" Xiao Mo turned sideways.

"Woof!" The first wild dog screamed before it died.

"Bang!" Xiao Mo had no time to draw out the sickle, so he could only raise his left fist and hit the nose of another wild dog hard. He also kicked up with his right foot, kicking the third wild dog that rushed towards him and hitting the car.

"Roar!" The only remaining wild dog bit Xiao Mo's right arm and tore it out hard.

Xiao Mo endured the severe pain, switched the knife from his right hand to his left, and slashed hard at the dog's head.

The dog's body disappeared before it hit the ground, leaving only a small amount of blood on the ground.

Xiao Mo didn't even bother to pry open the head of the dog that was still biting his arm. The wild dog that he kicked away rolled on the ground, got up, made a threatening guttural sound, and bit Xiao Mo again. The other one that he hit on the nose also staggered and continued to circle around him.

With his strength, ordinary wild dogs would not be able to get up so quickly after receiving his punches and kicks, not to mention immediate death, but these mutated wild dogs not only become larger, but their attack power and endurance are also greatly increased. .

"Your Majesty, you think this is fun, don't you?" The dog's body was gone, but the dog's head was still left to him.

The dog's head biting his arm disappeared instantly.

Xiao Mo stared at the third wild dog in silence, still holding the sickle in his right hand, and an extra spring/knife in his left hand. He pretended not to know that one of them had circled behind him and was rushing towards his back.

It's now!

"Whoa!" The sharp sickle cut deeply into the third wild dog's neck.

The wild dog's mouth was only a few centimeters away from Xiao Mo's neck.

Xiao Mo thrust his left hand down hard, and the spring/knife penetrated deeply into the head of the wild dog that bit his thigh.

Xiao Mo held the sickle in his hand hard, gritted his teeth and pushed away the wild dog's body, pulled out the sickle, and stirred the spring knife in his left hand.

The wild dog that bit him on the thigh was also mortally wounded. At this point, all four wild dogs that surrounded him were dead and recovered.

"Dang!" Xiao Mo leaned on the ground with his sickle, and Xiao Mo, who was exhausted, knelt on one knee, wiped the blood on his face, and cursed in a low voice.

Looking carefully, I realized that the parking lot was full of dog corpses, with internal organs, blood, and corpses scattered everywhere. This is a big kennel, not only mutated wild dogs, but also many mad dogs that have gone crazy because of brain lesions caused by drinking water with excessive metal content.

Because Zhongshan Base currently sends people to the city to sweep the city from the outermost perimeter. Currently, it only sweeps from the Sixth Ring Road to the Fourth Ring Road. The area within the Third Ring Road belongs to the inner city and is also the most dangerous area. It has not been swept yet.

But occasionally some bold mercenary teams will venture into the third ring in order to gain more profits. These wild dogs stay here just like waiting for the rabbit.

But probably more people died in the front, and there were basically no visitors in the past week. These wild dogs were starving.

Xue Lihong dragged a row of supermarket carts over.

Xiao Mo burst out laughing when he saw it. The row of supermarket carts was filled with mutated wild dogs that were seriously injured but not dead.

Xue Lihong came over and stretched out her hand. Xiao Mo grabbed his hand and used it to stand up.

"Is everything okay?" Xue Lihong's eyes circled around his body, and she knew just by looking at the damage to the man's clothes that he had been seriously injured just now.

Fortunately, when this mission is completed, Xiao Mo will be rewarded by the system with a universal tailoring machine for three consecutive wins. With that sewing machine, he can make a suit of insect skin inner armor for his boss, and this will not Necessary injuries will probably be greatly reduced in the future.

"It's okay, it's just too hot!" Xiao Mo was sweating profusely.

"If nothing happens, collect all these mutated wild dogs as soon as possible." Xue Lihong poked his face, why are you laughing? If the base vehicle hadn't followed Cheng Zai and the others to sweep up the supermarket, he would have had to drag a row of carts over so laboriously.

"Yes, my Majesty Xue." Xiao Mo grabbed the opponent's paw to prevent him from poking randomly.

Xue Lihong said: "I am not your majesty, the system is. I am your employee and spouse, dear, I strongly request to increase the number of matings."

Xiao Mo slipped and almost fell.

Seeing a grown man blushing like that, Xue Lihong stopped teasing him. He was not confident in himself and was afraid that his shy boss would get mad right now. Especially when there was such a strong smell of blood around him, it was too exciting for him.

"I don't know if these mutated wild dogs can be eaten, so much meat..." Xiao Mo said with regret as he killed the mutated wild dogs and recovered them.

"Absolutely not. You can tell by looking at their fur and eyes. There is essentially no difference between these mutated wild dogs and mad dogs." Xue Lihong only needs to smell the smell of dog meat to know whether it can be eaten or not. He can eat it, but other Humans basically can't.

The difference between mutant wild dogs and ordinary mad dogs is their huge size and the sharpness of their claws.

Xiao Mo really wanted to ask the system what would happen to these mutated wild dogs if the recovery mission failed, but the system replied, "You don't want to know."

"Who says I don't want to know? I just want to know, so I'm asking you. Can't explain it if it's not a mission?"

"Why do you like to ask the truth about everything?" The system actually asked him.

Xiao Mo was not in the mood to deal with His Majesty's arrogance and casually replied: "Then why do you ask me why?"

System: Yes, why should I ask him this question? Originally, my duties were just to issue tasks, give rewards and punishments, and be responsible for sending back information. Why do I want to know this host of mine now? Why have I never thought about getting to know those previous hosts before? What's so special about Xiao Mo? Or have I changed something now? What is all this for

Xiao Mo covered his head. He felt that his head was so hot that he felt a little dizzy.

"What?" Xue Lihong was alert.

Xiao Mo waved his hand, "Nothing." He probably had a heatstroke.

Soon, he killed and recovered all the seriously injured mutated wild dogs in the cart.

"We searched for two days and only recovered 14 of them, and there are still five that have not been found." Xiao Mo raised his eyes and looked at the area within the third ring road. According to the instructions on the mission map, the remaining five mutant wild dogs were still inside the city. Wandering around, but fortunately these five wild dogs seemed to have formed a small group and did not disperse.

Nowadays, the inner city of Zhongshan City has been completely occupied by cats, dogs, snakes, various insects, ants, and mutant plants. This situation has become more serious after the earthquake.

In fact, if this is the case, it will not cause everyone in the entire city to flee.

To make matters worse, a thick fog of strange colors suddenly appeared in the inner city. The fog was like miasma. Ordinary people would explode and die if they stayed in it for three hours, and those with super powers could only survive for half a day at most.

It turned out that many people were still living in the nearly ruined city after the earthquake, but since the thick fog appeared, everyone was forced out. But this thick fog is also interesting. It only appears within the third ring, never outside the third ring, and its impact on non-human beings does not seem to be as severe as on humans.

I don’t know when this thick fog started. Some said it appeared after the earthquake, while others said it appeared after the black rain. It was just lighter at first, and it only appeared when day and night alternated, so no one noticed it. By the time everyone notices it, it will become an absolute hazard.

The people at the base research institute are extremely interested in the dense fog and have sent people to collect it several times, but so far they have not been able to find out anything. They only know that the dense fog contains certain elements unknown to the earth.

Before going to H City, Xue Lihong also came here to collect dense fog, but she didn't know whether he was lucky or not. He stayed within the third ring road for ten days and never encountered thick fog once. It's not that thick fog hasn't appeared in the past ten days, but the place and time where thick fog appears are uncertain. Wherever Xue Lihong stays, thick fog will never appear again.

"What to do with the corpses of the other mad dogs? Just leave them here?" Xiao Mo took out an energy crystal and began to absorb it.

"Take the dog ears back to hand in the task, but His Majesty refuses to accept other systems?"

"Yes." Xiao Mo was helpless, "Your Majesty said that the energy content of these ordinary mad dogs is too low, which is not enough for the energy it consumes to transform, so it refuses to recycle them."

"It's a pity that you can't eat this meat even if you take it back."

While they are still here, a large number of omnivores and scavengers are gathering from all directions. There were even some wild cats showing up.

These wild cats are very smart. This supermarket is ruled and occupied by mutant wild dogs. These wild cats cannot defeat the mutant wild dogs and have long withdrawn from this treasure land. However, after Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong entered the third ring and started to sweep away the mutant wild dogs, there Wildcats followed them.

Xue Lihong asked for a gasoline barrel from Xiao Mo, walked to an abandoned car, violently opened its oil inlet, took out a length of hose from her backpack and inserted it into it.

Xiao Mo looked at him while absorbing the energy crystal, and at the same time he was distracted and alert to his surroundings. Those bugs, rats, etc. were just there to steal the mad dog's meat, but they didn't dare to trouble them.

Xue Lihong squatted down, inserted the other end of the hose into her mouth, and sucked hard.

The gasoline was sucked up along the hose. Xue Lihong immediately pinched the end near her lips and stuffed the pipe into the gasoline barrel.

A small amount of gasoline flows silently into the gasoline barrel.

Xue Lihong continued to collect gasoline, while Xiao Mo went to cut off the ears of the mad dog corpse.

Before they came out, they took over a mission at the base to hunt down mad dogs. These mad dogs didn't just stay in the inner city, they roamed everywhere and caused great damage to the surrounding villages. The base has a long-term mission to eliminate them.

And as long as people are bitten by these mad dogs, they will be infected with rabies almost without exception. This is why some bases have been studying rabies vaccines before.

Mad dogs are not just found in Zhongshan City. They are found wherever people keep dogs. After all, people filter and boil water before drinking it, but pets such as cats and dogs drink directly from natural water sources. As a result, there are many cats, dogs and other animals affected by water quality, and dogs are the first animals to go crazy and mutate.

There are many abandoned vehicles in the parking lot outside the supermarket. Even if they have been left there for more than four months, the gasoline has not evaporated much. If you really collect it, you can still collect a lot.

In the blink of an eye, Xuelihong filled a dozen gasoline barrels. Almost all the vehicles in this parking lot have been collected by them. Xiao Mo came over and put all the gasoline barrels into the bracelet.

Xue Lihong straightened up and said, "I'm so stupid. I will definitely get a device next time so that it can separate multiple pipes and automatically absorb it. It would be too tiring to rely on manual labor to absorb gasoline."

Xiao Moxiao, his Xiaohong would occasionally do stupid things.

"That's almost it. There are more and more wild cats around. I don't want to be surrounded by these wild cats." Xiao Mo quickly cut off the ears of the mad dog's corpse, put it in a plastic bag and put it into the bracelet, indicating his intention to retreat.

"Let's go see how Cheng Zai and the others are doing with their sweep."

The two ran into the supermarket.

No. 1 Base outside Zhongshan City, central office building.

"Crack!" Several black off-road vehicles with special logos on their bodies stopped outside the building.

More than a dozen fully armed bodyguards escorted him to the second car. The door opened and Bao Yiyong, wearing a beige windbreaker, strode into the central office building under the protection of the bodyguards.

The higher-ups had already received contact and given instructions, so no one came to stop them.

There are many people in the mission hall on the first floor. It is lively but not noisy. Many people are looking up at the missions on the big screen, and some are looking through the small screens. Those who like the missions place orders with the staff in the lobby. .

These mercenaries were alert and keen. Bao Yiyong attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the hall, but no one stared at them directly. They only looked at them from the corner of their eyes and guessed their origins.

Wang Cheng is browsing the currently released mission content in front of a small display screen to see if there is any suitable one. He didn't go on this mission. Not all members of the team were dispatched every time they went on a mission. Boss Xue said there was no need to waste it.

Bao Yuezhi left a deep impression on him, and he also made a special investigation on his father Bao Yiyong, and naturally he had seen Bao Yiyong's photos. As a criminal police officer, he has undergone special training in facial memory, allowing him to recognize each other at a glance even after several months.

He didn't know if the other party recognized him. Although the country had explicitly banned the arrest of people with supernatural powers, out of caution, he still turned his body sideways to avoid letting the other party see his front.

Bao Yiyong looked straight at the second floor as if he hadn't seen these people in the hall.

Soldiers in charge of security asked them to show their IDs.

The bodyguards showed their IDs.

After reading the certificate, the little soldier said that he had to inform them first and asked them to wait.

The bodyguard pushed the little soldier away, hugged Bao Yiyong and walked up to the second floor.

The little warrior was angry, but the person above winked at him and told him not to do anything, so he could only follow behind and chase.

When Wang Cheng saw this scene, he curled his lips, took out an earphone from his pocket and plugged it into his ear hole. The earphone was connected to the communicator. Wang Cheng put his head against the communicator and said, "Guess who I saw today."

I don't know what was said on the other side, but Wang Cheng laughed out loud and reported Bao Yiyong's name.

"... Well, it's possible. But isn't he in the capital? There are so many masters and large mercenary groups in the capital. Is it necessary for him to go to Zhongshan City to find people? You said that his mission is probably related to Zhongshan City or nearby Is it related to the place? Well, who knows, maybe he came to ask someone to find his son. I heard that his son Bao Yuezhi seemed to be missing. Well, I understand. I will pay attention to the new tasks released before and after he leaves... Okay, today. I won’t accept any new tasks posted.”

The second floor of the center building.

Bao Yiyong pushed open the office door with the words "General Manager's Office" on the door, and led the others in.

Zhang De, who was busy behind the desk, raised his head and frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

"I want to see General Qiu Feng, where can I see him?"

"Who are you?"

"Disease Center Bao Yiyong."

"Oh, it's Minister Bao! I didn't expect that it was Minister Bao who came in person. Please have a seat." Zhang De stood up, raised his hand to signal the little soldier who came in to ignore him, and made a small gesture at the same time.

The little soldier understood, glared at Bao Yiyong and others, closed the door and left.

Bao Yiyong did not accept this trick and only asked: "I want to see General Qiu Feng."

"General Qiu is not at the base now." Zhang De raised his hands before Bao Yiyong could say anything: "I didn't lie, and there's no need for it."

"Where did he go? When will he come back?"

"This is not something I can know." Zhang De laughed.

"So who is the second person in charge of the base? I want to see him." Bao Yiyong seemed not to take Zhang De, the person in charge of the mission hall, seriously at all.

Zhang De said with good temper: "I wonder what important matter Minister Bao has here? If it is convenient, you can tell me, maybe I can help you solve it. If it is related to the mercenary mission, if you go to the people above, they will still find me. Here, why don’t we just skip this formality?”

"Are you the person in charge of the mercenaries?" Bao Yiyong didn't know what he thought of, but he finally looked at Zhang De.

Zhang De smiled, "No, I am not the person in charge of the mercenaries, I am just the person in charge of the general manager office of this mission hall."

Seeing Bao Yiyong frowning, Zhang De explained: "Of course, I will manage all the chores in the mission hall. If Minister Bao wants to release a mission, you can tell me and I will release it for you as soon as possible. If You just want to find a group of manpower, and I know a little bit about the mercenaries in this base, so I can recommend them to you."

Bao Yiyong didn't seem to want to waste time. He frowned slightly and said, "I want the best manpower, at least a hundred people."

"One hundred people, um, a lot of people. It seems to be a large-scale task. Minister Bao, please sit down and tell me the details."

The bodyguard pulled out a chair for Bao Yiyong. Bao Yiyong lifted up the back of his windbreaker and sat down, confirming again: "Are you sure you can take charge of this?"

Zhang De chuckled, stood up and poured a glass of boiled water for Bao Yiyong himself, "I dare not say that I am responsible, but when it comes to the mercenaries in the mission hall and base, I am not afraid of being scolded. Even General Qiu doesn't understand me."

"Well, I don't have time to play tricks with you. I want a hundred people. I want the best people you can find here. Among them, those with long-range attack, melee combat, and auxiliary abilities are all needed. If there are people with healing powers, Even better, they must all be people with special abilities, and I will see them before eight o'clock tonight." Bao Yiyong said his request without any refusal.

Zhang De didn't get angry, and had a well-placed smile on his face, "Does Minister Bao want to issue a task? In fact, the business staff in the lobby downstairs can handle it. Could you please tell me what your task is?"

"I'm not here to issue tasks. I just want manpower. Don't you understand?"

Zhang De chuckled, "I always have to tell others what tasks they are going to do, what dangers there are, and what rewards they will get after completing them."

"You don't have to tell them so much. My people will tell them in detail. You just need to concentrate your manpower."

"I'm sorry, Minister Bao, if you can't tell me the details of the task, the rewards and dangers, etc., I can't help you even if I want to. You should also know that I am just an employment platform office that releases tasks, and we don't have Any qualifications to control or order the mercenaries registered here are the same as for mercenaries in other cities."

Bao Yiyong's face was gloomy, "You should always know which of the mercenaries here is good, who has special abilities, and who has a high degree of mission completion, right? These are the people I want. You just need to gather them here."

"I also need a reason to recruit them, otherwise these mercenaries are too busy to make a special trip." Zhang De seemed to be easy to talk to, but he refused to give in.

Bao Yiyong stared at Zhang De, and Zhang De looked back with a smile.

Bao Yiyong took out a satellite phone, pressed a few numbers, and connected: "It's me. I'm at the Zhongshan City Mercenary Station now. General Qiu Feng is not here. The person in charge of their base refused to see me and only sent me I asked the director of a mercenary station to receive me. Oh, wronged? How dare you? You know the importance of my mission. I just ask you if you can contact Qiu Feng. I don’t have that much time to waste words here with idle people. .”

Idle man Zhang De: ...I am so busy! Who do you think you are, asking us to give you a hundred superpowers? Even the head of state wants to give you a reason.

Bao Yiyong hung up the phone and waited for a while, during which he ignored Zhang De at all.

Director Zhang continued busy with the work he had interrupted before.

Five minutes later, Bao Yiyong's phone rang, and he picked it up and said a few words.

Director Zhang pricked up his ears.

Without thinking, Bao Yiyong pushed the phone to him from the table.

Zhang De paused and picked up the phone, "Hello, hello, I'm Zhang De, the head of the mercenary station at Zhongshan Base. ... Lei Bing, it's you, haha... Okay, I understand... Well, that's it. .”

Zhang De put down the phone, pushed it back to Bao Yiyong, and said with a smile on his face: "Minister Bao, you told me earlier. Since it is a formal operation, our mercenary office will naturally provide strong support. How many people do you want?" ?Are there any special requirements for recruiters?”

Bao Yiyong suppressed his anger and said seriously: "One hundred people, as long as they are not afraid of death, have rich mission experience, and have the superpower requirements I mentioned before, in short, you have to introduce me to the best mercenary here."

"Not afraid of death... Well, it seems like it's a one-way ticket. How about the remuneration? Do you pay it all in advance?" Zhang De didn't care about the minister at all, not to mention that each base now operates independently, which is similar to the ancient enfeoffment system. That is, the princes manage various places, and the head of state and the original top-level institutions control the general direction, barely functioning as a base to connect the country, and to control and coordinate all parties. This is because the Beijing Military Region is powerful and is at the forefront of all aspects of research. And that’s because the country’s centripetal force is still there.

But the military department under which their mercenaries were affiliated was not the same system as the disease center at all. Not to mention the present, even in the past, Bao Yiyong could not control him.

Bao Yiyong reluctantly exchanged a few words with Zhang De with a stiff attitude, and then urged him to recruit people again.

Zhang De saw that Bao Yiyong refused to give details, and his face became increasingly ugly, as if his patience had reached the limit. Considering that Lei Bing and General Qiu already knew about the matter and asked them to cooperate as much as possible, Zhang De did not After further procrastination, I directly wrote the few words Bao Yiyong said as a task release - which emphasized that it was an official large-scale task. For details, you need to attend the explanation meeting in the task hall. The meeting time is 8 o'clock in the evening.

Then he edited the message and sent it to the leaders of several teams he was more optimistic about - he was not doing it for Bao Yiyong, but for Lei Bing and the soldiers at the base, because Lei Bing just said that soldiers from the base would also participate. this mission.

"Wait and see if they are willing to accept it."

Bao Yiyong frowned and said forcefully: "They have to come whether they are willing to accept it or not. I know you have a ranking list of those mercenary groups, and some of the top five leaders must be there."

Zhang De, "Haha."

Bao Yiyong also followed suit, "I'll say something ugly first. If the people who come here are too bad and implicate those regular soldiers, it's not my fault."

Zhang De smiled, took a deep breath, and raised his hand, "Minister Bao, I'm sorry, I still have some work to do here, so I can't continue to receive you."

Bao Yiyong pushed away his chair and stood up, sneering: "I will come again at eight o'clock tonight. Remember to leave a conference room open for me to meet with those mercenaries."

"Walk slowly without seeing you off."

As soon as Zhang De and Bao Yiyong left, he immediately picked up the satellite phone and contacted Lei Bing again. After asking about the situation, he immediately called the leaders of the mercenary groups he was optimistic about one by one, asking them to come to the mercenary station tonight. Take a trip.

Inner city of Zhongshan City.

After Xiao Mo read the message from Director Zhang, he then received a call from Lei Bing - a communication tower was established at the Zhongshan base to ensure that information can be sent and received normally within a hundred kilometers.

They were following the map and chasing the last five mutant wild dogs.

"Lei Bing said there is an official mission." Xiao Mo raised his voice slightly.

The team members in the car looked at him together.

"What mission?" Xue Lihong asked.

Xiao Mo said: "Lei Bing didn't know much. He only said that he needed to collect some materials and needed their help. It was dangerous and the location was near our Zhongshan City. He said that this mission was very important to the capital. Not only did we dispatch an elite team of 100 mercenaries, but we also asked the military here at Zhongshan Base to provide support, and at the same time, we also summoned 100 elite mercenaries on the spot at Zhongshan Base.”

Xue Lihong frowned, "I don't know, why would that cunning guy from Lei Bing agree to such a thing? If military assistance is needed, why not send someone directly from the capital?"

Xiao Mo shrugged, "It is said to save resources. You know that although each base is now independent, the army is still subject to the dispatch of the capital. This task is said to have passed the Supreme Council, and a military order was issued directly from above. However, the military order is only As for the military, recruiting civilian mercenaries is still a voluntary matter. Lei Bing also said that General Qiu seemed to owe a favor to a certain big shot in the capital. The other party asked him for help, so he had to agree to help coordinate with the mercenaries."

Xue Lihong gave her a two-word comment: "Troublesome."

Cheng Zai asked Xiao Mo: "Captain, is our team going?"

Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead. Lei Bing asked him to come here. He went there and it did have a great effect on reducing the casualty rate. This made him unable to reject Lei Bing outright. Moreover, they had cooperated with the military many times before, and it was basically okay. A pleasure to work with.

"Don't be embarrassed, just follow your heart." Xue Lihong squeezed him.

Xiao Mo relaxed and smiled: "In this way, if we can complete this task before eight o'clock tonight, then we will go to the task briefing meeting to hear the details, and then see whether we should accept it."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Xue Lihong agreed.

At this time, neither of them knew that this mission was related to Bao Yiyong. Lei Bing did not know about their grudges with Bao Yiyong and his son, so naturally he did not mention such a person specifically.
