Chapter 15 Temporary Squad
However, these have little to do with Hong Yi for the time being. This time he saved his life. If it weren't for the woman in red, he would have been really finished, which also sounded the alarm for Hong Yi.
Although being a mercenary has a good income, it is also accompanied by the danger of losing one's life at any time. Only when one is strong can one have the ability to protect oneself.
Just like the woman in red, it seems that she is at least a fifth-level white star or even a silver star-level evolver. The "skills" she masters are also extremely powerful. Her speed and strength are the strongest among humans Hong Yi has ever seen.
In front of a real master, I am afraid that I am not even as good as an ant. If I want to climb up and become a human, I have to work harder than ordinary people. Fortunately, Hong Yi has a special professional skill tree. As long as he continues to upgrade, he will become stronger and stronger, unlock more skills, and open up a new brain domain and read other professional data packets.
This is the direction and goal of Hong Yi's struggle.
The fourth day of becoming a mercenary.
In the wild, in an abandoned mining area more than 60 kilometers away from the No. 7 gathering place, Hong Yi retreated the empty magazine from the rifle at this moment, and quickly replaced it with a new magazine.
The one in Hong Yi's hand is a large-caliber rifle of Prison 5. It is a weapon that many low-level mercenaries like to use. The gun is 95 cm long and has a movable butt stock, which can be semi-automatic and automatic shooting, all-metal, 9mm steel core armor-piercing warhead, initial velocity of 980 meters per second, and thirty rounds of magazines. However, Hong Yi is not equipped with an optical scope. First, he has an electronic sight, and second, he has weak spot shooting, and can hit every shot without aiming.
This gun is worth a lot of money, worth more than 2,000 New Coins. Fortunately, Hong Yi completed the task before and sold several white brain crystals at hand, so it is no problem to replace the weapons and equipment.
Only with good weapons can you hunt mutants faster.
In addition to the rifle, Hong Yi also spent 2,000 New Coins to buy a motorcycle that he had turned over for a few hands. He went out to hunt and was too passive without transportation. It took a lot of time just to go back and forth. Hong Yi could not afford the car, so he could only buy a motorcycle for transportation.
Not to mention, after having the motorcycle, Hong Yi's efficiency has been greatly improved. After the ammunition has been consumed, he can quickly return to the nearby supply point to replenish, which really saves a lot of time.
Hong Yi hid the motorcycle in a nearby corner and covered it with a cover, while he was hunting down the variants here.
The mines here once belonged to humans decades ago. Most of the metal used to build the No. 7 gathering site was used to mine ore from mines in this area.
The rapid mining basically consumed the resources here in more than ten years. After that, it was attacked by a large number of mutants, so it was eventually abandoned and became a paradise for mutants.
Hong Yi would not go to the bottomless mine cave. He was just looking for variants that could be hunted around the surface. There were many zombies here, which were enough for him to hunt and obtain experience points.
With weak point shooting, Hong Yi can kill some difficult mutants without the assistance of mechanical dogs. Now he has 80 experience points, and upgrading to the third level of Hunter requires 100 experience points, and only 20 points left to this target.
It should be achieved today.
When you reach the third level of the hunter, you can unlock a skill and domesticate it. Although you are not sure what this skill has, from the first skill weakness shooting, Hong Yi can be sure that these skills are definitely stronger than the other.
Half an hour later, Hong Yi rode his motorcycle to a supply point at the foot of the abandoned mining area for rest.
The supply points are built with unified standards, and the alloy walls are not large in size, but they can well isolate the dangers outside.
After entering, Hong Yi bought some food and at the same time bought some bullets from the weapons merchant. The weapons merchant is from the Mercenary Association and looked at Hong Yi.
"These you bought are all ordinary bullets. When encountering stronger mutants, I'm afraid they can't even penetrate their outer skin. I have some blasting bullets here, do you want them?"
Blasting bullets, high-tech products, and special chips and explosives are implanted inside the warhead, which can explode before hitting the target when fired, forming a huge shock wave, which is a range of killing and extremely powerful within two meters.
This thing is good, but the price is too expensive, hundreds of times the price of ordinary bullets. For ordinary mutants, it is to use cannons to kill mosquitoes. For advanced mutants, if the number of these bullets is small, it will be difficult to kill them, and it will inflict the target on the contrary.
So Hong Yi shook his head. This kind of bullet didn't help him much, and he had weaknesses to shoot, and ordinary bullets could also play a role.
The weapon merchant just muttered to the poor man and gave Hong Yi a few packs of ordinary bullets wrapped in kraft paper, then ignored him again.
At this time, a car parked in the open space in the middle of the supply point. A strong mercenary jumped out of the car. At this moment, he shouted at the top of his voice, and it was actually temporarily recruiting team members.
This situation often occurs. After receiving some difficult tasks, some mercenary teams may choose to temporarily recruit some mercenaries as team members after receiving some difficult tasks or because of the difficulty of the task or their lack of manpower, and they will choose to temporarily recruit some mercenaries to complete the tasks together. When they are assigned part of the tasks to reward those mercenaries.
If you have a task, you will join the group temporarily, and if you don’t have a task, you will leave. Generally speaking, the rewards received by this temporary team are very good. So when the mercenary shouted, a lot of people immediately gathered over.
When Hong Yi was curious, he also approached and looked around.
"We need ten people to enter the No. 14 mine and bring back a machine component in the mine control room. The difficulty is C-level. The task is issued by the Chamber of Commerce and the reward is considerable. After the task is completed, each person can get 1,000 SGD. If it performs well, you can also become a member of our Flying Fish Mercenary Squad. In addition, the bullets consumed in the mission are provided by us." After the mercenary said this, Hong Yi was a little moved.
Others may just want to complete tasks, while Hong Yi completes tasks only on one hand. The most important thing is to hunt more mutations and obtain experience values, so the bullet consumption is greater, especially when using automatic rifles. Sometimes, in order to quickly attack the mutation, they can only use continuous shots, and one hundred bullets will be used up in a short time. Since the other party provides bullets, you can also try it yourself.
"The mercenaries who are willing to join stand here, we will choose from you!" After the mercenary said that, Hong Yi and more than a dozen other mercenaries stood over.
There are not many mercenaries resting at this supply point at this moment, and most of them are willing to join.
The mercenary from the Feiyu Squad began to select people. Hong Yi was lucky to be selected. Those who were not selected left cursingly, while the selected people left the supply point together, got on two pickup trucks, and drove all the way to the mine.
The mining area is large and there are many mine caves here, and each mine has a number. The No. 14 mine is just one of them, located deep in the mine.
The pickup trucks are surrounded by rugged mountain roads. The flying fish team is obviously a medium-sized mercenary team, with a total of two pickup trucks and one convertible off-road.
The convertible off-road opens the road in front. In addition to the driver, there are three mercenaries holding large-caliber guns. When they encounter mutants that block the road, they usually shoot and kill them.
Hong Yi sat in the second pickup truck, and four other temporary mercenaries were sitting next to him. They were all men, with different equipment and weapons. Among them, except for Hong Yi, who had an adjutant, there was only one old mercenary in his forties who had an adjutant.
The few people in the car didn't know each other, so there was no communication. Most of them were closing their eyes and resting. After entering the hole, they just needed to follow the instructions of the flying fish team. When they encountered the mutant, they would be eliminated and left with their things, and they would be finished.
After turning around, it took about half an hour to stop. Several mercenaries from the flying fish team called everyone out of the car. Not far ahead, you can see a huge entrance to the mine. On the rock next to the mine, the number "Fourteen" written in some kind of pigment had already faded, and only one outline could be seen.
"Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Wei. I am the captain of the Feiyu Squad. This is the No. 14 Mine. Our goal is the mechanical room in the mine. Your responsibility is to provide fire support. I am ugly. Since I have teamed up to carry out the mission, I must obey our instructions, otherwise I will not give you any rewards." The mercenary before said coldly at this moment.
The ten mercenaries recruited temporarily nodded, so they naturally understood this rule.
"Okay, let's start. Everyone comes to collect one hundred bullets. Remember, try not to shoot if you can't shoot below. The echo in the mine is even louder and it is easy to attract unknown dangers." After Xu Wei said that, he summoned everyone to collect bullets.
He himself walked to the back of a car and lit a cigarette. He looked back at the ten mercenaries who were collecting bullets. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A few minutes later, eight people from the Feiyu team and ten mercenaries hired temporarily entered the No. 14 Mine Cave.
The light in the mine was very dark, but you could vaguely see the rails and cables on the ground and rock walls. There were several wandering zombies at the entrance of the cave, and they were quickly shot and killed by the mercenaries in front of them.
The more you go, the darker the light, and the light at the entrance shrinks little by little until it disappears. The mercenaries have already taken out lighting equipment and can be installed on their shoulders. This thing is only available to the Flying Fish Squad, and other mercenaries can only follow the Flying Fish Squad so that they will not be blinded.
Of course, having an adjutant's intelligent brain is another matter.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I didn't encounter a mutant again. Moreover, there were many forks in the mine. It was difficult to figure out how they came in until now. However, the mercenaries did not ask. In their opinion, they just need to follow the people of the Feiyu Squad to move.
Hong Yi was walking in the middle of the team. From the beginning, he felt something was wrong.
Chapter completed!
