Hearing the voice coming from behind, Hao Ren could only shake his head and stand up. Then he saw a small group of soldiers standing more than ten meters away from him, with several small-caliber individual weapons pointing in this direction.
There are only seven soldiers in this team. They are all wearing uniform gray and black combat uniforms. Their equipment is diverse, but the same thing is that they are all armed to the teeth. The soldier standing in front of the team who looks like the leader is very impressive.
Surprise: It was a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. I don't know if she looked too immature or if she was really a boy scout. She aimed a light rifle at Hao Ren, and her eye-catching gray hair was tied into a single.
The ponytail was swung behind her head, and the expression on her face was blank. Apart from the cautious attitude that a soldier must have, no emotion could be seen on her.
Hao Ren was surprised that even such a young child wanted to participate in the war in this place, but after thinking about the world, it was not so surprising. He opened his hand to show that he was not a threat: "Finally, I saw a living person...
Don't be so nervous, I'm just passing by."
"What are you doing there?" The voice of the data terminal rang in my mind, "This machine senses that you are nearby, why don't you come over to help?"
"Can't you hear what's going on around you?" Hao Ren asked in his mind while observing the small group of soldiers in front of him.
"I don't know what went wrong. The current sensor of this machine is very slow." The voice of the data terminal was very frustrated. "I'm afraid there was something wrong when the transmission came in this time. Only part of the consciousness of this machine was transferred to the dream plane. Now.
This machine is trying to restart several service programs."
Hao Ren groaned and saw the "Boy Scout" girl in front of him pointing her gun in this direction several times. Several soldiers around her were approaching from the left and right directions. The girl had a straight face.
Asked: "Tell me your identity. Are you a mercenary or a scavenger, a natural person or a second-generation evolved person?"
Hao Ren didn't know this. But in order to learn more about the situation on this planet, he still wanted to try to communicate with the people in front of him: "I don't know what you mean. I just passed by here. If I had known there was a war here, I would have
not coming."
"Can you still find a place where there is no fighting?" A soldier wearing a full-coverage helmet laughed, with a dull echo in his voice. He scanned Hao Ren with some device mounted on his rifle.
, turned to the gray-haired girl and reported, "Nolan, he seems to be a civilian."
"Civilian?" The gray-haired girl named Nolan finally had an expression on her face. She frowned and came over to check in person. Hao Ren saw a small black device on the other person's gloves that shimmered. She used this device
He took a photo here two meters away: It seems that it is a more advanced scanner. "It has no combat nerve response...it doesn't even have the most basic embedded chip?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise,
Subconsciously he clenched the rifle in his hand: "An extreme conservative natural person?"
Hao Ren quickly speculated on the meaning of the various terms mentioned by the other party, while trying to lower the other party's wariness: "Then if you say he is a natural person, just be a natural person, but I don't think I am an extremist..."
No matter which world you go to, extremists are not welcome, at least this is certain.
"Whether you are an extremist or not," Nolan stared into Hao Ren's eyes, "civilians should not be here. But it doesn't matter how many mercenaries there are. Just know that you are not a soldier. This place is not peaceful, so leave quickly.
Since you can come in, you should also know how to get out."
Nolan said. He took the people and was about to leave. When Hao Ren saw this situation, he quickly stopped them: "Hey, wait a minute! Can I go with you?"
A soldier raised his gun slightly and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously.
Each of them has an almost neurotic vigilance. How long has this war lasted?
Hao Ren continued to open his hands to show that there was no hostility, while making up excuses to reasonably contact these mercenaries (judging from Nolan's words, these people are mercenaries): "Everyone who came with me has died, and I am alone.
But I can’t get out of this damn place.”
"We have to get paid for our work." Nolan pointed to a sign on his chest, "The innocent 'Grey Fox' troop, as long as the price is right, we will deal with anyone. Since you dare to go to the Rift Valley
City activities, you should know the rules of our mercenary business."
Hao Ren felt relieved and felt that his judgment was right: mercenaries are the easiest group in the world to contact as long as you bid appropriately.
This is all learned from the process of dealing with Betsy.
And at that time, Betsy also made special suggestions in this regard: If you come to a strange world, as long as your words and deeds do not appear too suspicious, it is undoubtedly very smart to find a group of mercenaries as an entry point. As long as the price is fair and there are no encounters
If there is enough danger or temptation to make them betray, mercenaries are the best bodyguards and guides. They will not ask too many things about their employers, and as long as their employers don't hold back, they are willing to answer many questions. Still that?
Bottom line: As long as the price is right.
Of course, the premise is that these mercenaries must have some professional ethics.
Hao Ren spread his hands: "I don't have any cash if you want it. Can I have something else?"
"Jewelry? Gold?" Nolan looked Hao Ren up and down with strange eyes, "A rich man who escaped? Okay, that's fine, but those things are more troublesome to deal with, so you have to give me a satisfactory number."
Hao Ren immediately pretended to take out his pocket, took a handful from his trouser pocket and threw a gold nugget over: it was picked up from the planet Tanagus.
Nolan and her soldiers were stunned. A circle of people stared at Hao Ren. The soldier who had completely hidden his face under his helmet couldn't help but said: "You... came out with half a catty of gold bricks in your pocket."
Shaking around?!"
After being reminded like this, Hao Ren suddenly realized that what he was doing was not normal: he didn't even carry a wallet with him when he went out, but he was running around carrying half a catty of gold bricks. This didn't seem to be something a normal person could do.
thing……
But at this time, he couldn't explain it. He could only nod his head and said, "My situation is complicated and it's hard to explain to you. Just tell me whether this number will work."
Nolan nodded, but then raised his gun: "I don't know if you really lack common sense or what... You said wouldn't it be more appropriate if we just kill you and take your gold?"
The surrounding mercenaries made all kinds of strange laughter, and several of them had raised their guns.
Hao Ren thought of this classic plot when he took out the gold, but he didn't expect that the development of things would be so uncreative: "Then you shoot, I guess you will find the door to the new world after the gunshot. But.
I still have to say, you guys are so uncreative."
"Is there really someone who is not afraid?" Nolan stared, then raised the corner of his mouth and put down the gun, "Hey, it's pointless to tease. Let's go, I told you, we are innocent 'grey foxes', you
Your gold and yours are both safe. But you won’t be so lucky if you meet another mercenary, a wealthy husband with a bad brain."
This time it was Hao Ren's turn to be surprised, but these mercenaries were very lucky to stick to their principles under such circumstances. It was lucky for both Hao Ren and them.
Only then did Nolan carefully examine the gold nugget in her hand. Because normal people would not carry such a piece of gold out for travel expenses, so her first reaction was that it was fake. But after checking it, she found that
The gold is real, but the situation is a little strange: "Why are there so many teeth marks on it?"
Hao Ren thought about it and felt that he couldn't admit that this was the mark left by his dog girl's teeth grinding...
Several mercenaries turned around and prepared to leave. Nolan gestured to his new employer to follow, but Hao Ren suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted: "Wait a moment! I left something else behind.
It’s around here.”
Nolan showed an impatient expression: "Hurry up, don't delay."
Hao Ren waved his hand and followed the signal from the data terminal to a ruins more than ten meters away. The mercenaries followed curiously.
Some collapsed construction debris was piled up and down on the ground. Judging from the nearby crater with residual warmth, it was destroyed by a bomb not long ago. Hao Ren felt that the signal from the data terminal was coming from below: That guy is really looking for something.
What a great place to land.
Hao Ren bent down to remove the cement fragments, and Nolan asked beside him: "Is the thing you are looking for buried under here?"
Hao Ren hummed and tried to dig in the ruins with the strength and speed that a normal human being should have. Two mercenaries were kind-hearted and stepped forward to help. Soon a big hole was opened in the ruins, and the data
The terminal signal is right in front of you.
However, Hao Ren was stunned when he saw the situation in the cave.
