Chapter 484 Accidents on the Road

For long-distance travelers in this era, choosing the means of transportation itself is, in many cases, entrusting their lives to the carrier.

In comparison with a mature battle group, the [-] elites of the Peace Corps are too few, not as good as a brigade of a first-class battle group. Even if it is doubled in size, the hundred-member group is still at the rookie level.

It is difficult for such a team to independently receive really big tasks, such as stationing a medium-sized town and escorting a caravan for inter-city transactions.

Even if you are quite famous, the employer still cherishes your life more. The number of people and strength on paper are the last words. You say that there is no real man in the sky to convince you.

But this time, as the journey progressed, the merchants accompanying the car became more and more amazed at the unusualness of this "small battle group".

"It really deserves to be the 'hotel-level' car of the former Star Wars. It is so comfortable."

The living environment is always the most direct first impression.

The Yinghuo cart is said to be a cart with four floors, rather it is a cart with "four cities".

After completely abandoning the external armament, internal armament, and mobile power pendant, it just expanded its size and height as much as possible, and the Yinghuo cart has a bulk far beyond its peers.

There is a very ample living area, a super bathhouse enough for more than 30 people to bathe at the same time, a craftsman forging room and a medical department, and even a production line for the initial processing and disinfection of food, and the logistics staff are chefs, doctors, and craftsmen. It is only the standard for long-term travel, and it is the standard for long-term living and even living comfortably in the world.

Although foreign passengers were restricted to the movement area, what they saw just surprised the merchants who had traveled all over the surrounding business routes.

In their past experience, the carts were full of various weapons and strange beasts, and the living space that could be left was small and small. They were all mentally prepared for a few people to squeeze into a cabin and eat dry food every day. , but did not expect that not only can one person share a room, but also fresh cooked food every day, as well as nutritious vegetable and fruit snacks.

This undoubtedly makes all outsiders look up to the Peace Corps. There are not many fools who can go to business these days, at least the businessmen who spend money to buy safety still know a lot of basic common sense. It is excellent, and can greatly prolong the battle group's continuation time.

Sometimes, the gap between life and death is just a trance.

Only with better and better living conditions can there be further pursuits
"There are even battle rooms, training rooms, and so many more"

"You can see that they are practicing every day, unlike the old fritters we saw. During the off-duty period, they never stand when they can lie down. The attitude of performing tasks is also obviously different. They are very active? They are very happy to meet the enemy ? This and other sword masters are too abnormal."

The old businessman thought for a long time before he squeezed out this comment, but he got the approval of his companions.

During their past journeys, they have also seen countless large and medium-sized battle groups, including many famous star battle groups, but most of the members are still nervous or even tired.

For most sword masters, the journey outside the city is always exhausting, and performing guard work itself is a job that requires constant vigilance.

Since it is dangerous labor used to get paid, it is natural to expect less if you can do less.

These days, no one can guarantee the absolute safety of the journey. Even a battle group of all myths may be dragged into the battlefield of the true god, or fall into a different world where there is no return. The spirit is always tense outside, and it is alive. The first priority is to be physically and mentally exhausted after completing the duties, so it is natural to lie down comfortably.

But most of the sword masters in the Peace Corps treat every job positively. Even after finishing the job at hand, they still have the energy to go to the training room to improve themselves.

When forced to leave by work, naturally he can only improve passively. This addition and subtraction will undoubtedly cause a huge gap in the improvement of personal strength. This is one of the reasons why Zheng Li devoted himself to the living environment at all costs.

With the development of the Peace Corps to such a point, for many core members, it is no longer just a job.

But what is shown now makes outsiders a little puzzled.
"Perhaps this is youth"

In the end, they can only reach an ambiguous answer, or only because they are young, they appear to be full of vigor and vitality, so that they can always be full of expectations and hopes for the future.

But in fact, what Zheng Li devoted himself to was not only these
In the lecture room on the second floor, there are more than a dozen professional teachers stationed here, teaching various knowledge and skills including martial arts. The blacksmith and production department on the first floor can also provide various customizations for sword masters. Man-made spiritual weapons, the medical department and the development department can provide various medicines and supplies needed for actual combat.

It can be said that the firefly cart can provide everything the sword master needs to improve himself. If it is not for the supply needs of the battle group, there is no need for individuals to go to the big city.

In a sense, this is also a habit developed during the Autumn Hunting Legion. The long journey has made Zheng Li not satisfied with maintaining the combat power of the regiment members for a long time, but also looking forward to providing them with a way to improve the service so that Its totally peace of mind.

Perhaps it was because the remuneration was really good, or perhaps it was because the remuneration provided by Zheng Li was generous enough. In the past three years, no more than five people had become core members but chose to leave, and most of them chose to retire directly. The flowing civilian battle group is simply unbelievable.

But in fact, there is a relatively strict competition mechanism within the Peace Corps.

"This monthly quota is not bad, not bad. Excluding those newcomers who can't be included in the assessment, only two failed. Then, let's transfer to the logistics according to the rules."

Within the Peace Corps, there is a set of assessment mechanisms, but unlike other battle regiments, Zheng Li is looking at the progress of each regiment member.

No one knows what the standard is, because the only assessment standard seems to be Zheng Li's personal decision, but if it fails to meet expectations, it will be transferred directly from the battle order to the logistics team. Someone needs to clean the toilet and the laundry room. Someone needs to work overtime.

Being transferred from the battle sequence to the logistics, the most important thing is to be ashamed. Of course, the share of the battle direction will be much less.

But since the rules came into effect, no one has failed the assessment twice in a row.

It's not that no one has ever questioned Zheng Li's judgment basis, but with his predictable "observation ability", this kind of "judgment" based on reality does not seem to be that difficult, especially after a period of time, unexpectedly No one complained about the unfairness of his failure, and it seemed that he was acquiescing that he was not working hard enough to cause the progress to fall behind, which further increased Zheng Li's prestige in the group.

But in fact, only he and his Eldar know the truth.
"There is no standard at all. I have the spare time to record everyone's progress. But as long as I stare at that person for a while during the assessment period, Ah Qiong can tell me how guilty he is. What if I make a mistake? Then In fact, it doesn't matter, let's take it as a rotation. It is precisely because of the uncertainty of the review standards that everyone dare not stop at all. If the result is good, everything is OK."
-
Three years can leave some traces among human sword masters, but for the spiritual race of idealistic creatures, it really just flies by.

Without a huge change in self-cognition, most of the Eldar have no change in appearance, not to mention the above changes in personality and hobbies.

On the top floor of the Firefly Cart, there is a room where there are always all kinds of intense rock music and the sound of video games from time to time.

"Bang bang bang!"

"What are you doing! I'm about to win! Asshole AI teammate, it really is an artificial mental retardation, let me hit nine"

Zheng Li knocked on the door violently, but got no response, only constant complaints.

He took out the key and opened the door directly, walked in, and directly touched the switch next to the door. The special switch was specially installed for this moment. The next moment, Yinghuo stood in front of him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Isn't this my playful father? Why did you think of me when you have time? Do you want to give me pocket money?"

"Pocket money? Of course, it depends on your performance."

"Performance? I have always performed very well. When you are with Sister Yuzhen, I will help you block surveillance and tracking. When you go out to meet sisters of other constellations, I refuse other people's tracking requests. You and Sister Yuying , Other sisters, it hurts! Don’t start! If you react too slowly, what should you do if you can’t win the game?”

Zheng Li smiled happily. He directly removed the switch, and then, amidst someone screaming "No, no! How could you do this?! You are not human!", all the electrical appliances in the room went out instantly , Games that have not been archived are directly reimbursed.

"I'm asking about business. If you mess around with the job I entrusted to you before, next month's pocket money... No, you girl will find Yu Ying and the others to cheat pocket money. This trick has no effect on you. Then , I want you to forcefully return to the blade for a week, and you can't play any games, you can only watch me play."

"Father, what do you want to tell me as soon as possible, as long as I can do it... that job? Give me a hint?"

Looking at the cautious Yinghuo, Zheng Li sighed helplessly. His first blade will never grow up, and one day he will be mad at himself to death.

"It was given to you before I came out. Find out what may happen recently, and what is the next goal of the Twin Cities. Is there no news on the Internet?"

"Yes, it seems that a war is about to start."

".What?"

Zheng Li opened his mouth wide, with a dazed expression on his face, such a big news, you just said it lightly.

"Which area of ​​the six central cities has no battle lines? It has been between wars and wars. There may be too much news about the war. I don't know how to tell you."

Everywhere Yinghuo goes, she will enter the local psychic network to investigate local intelligence and public opinion. Although most of the time is spent collecting local music, movies, and unique games, completing the work assigned by Zheng Li is a incidental thing.

But as she said, most of the six cities in the central region have their own defense lines, and there are too many news related to the war. Those signs are instead covered up under the news of various cruel wars.

A little hand-to-hand conflict on your border, and tens of thousands of battle losses in the war attract attention. Compared with the inconspicuous "signs" and "inclinations", the headlines have long been occupied by more impactful events.

"Forget it, I shouldn't expect you"

Zheng Li is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't have much expectations, but it is difficult to hide such a big event, Zheng Li thought there was some news.

"It's better to go to a specialized intelligence company to buy intelligence after arriving in Shiqian City. It's too early to establish your own intelligence department. It's too early to find two companies for long-term cooperation."

Zheng Li thought about it, and was about to leave. He had nothing to say to this girl. This distance is enough for the sword master and the spirit clan to communicate with each other. He couldn't get a response, so he had to come to find someone in person.

"By the way, there is some news, it may be what you want."

"What?"

Zheng Li still didn't have much expectations. If it wasn't for the fact that this room was the network core of the Firefly Cart and had various top-quality network equipment, Zheng Li wouldn't have counted on her at all.

"It seems that the pressure on many lines of defense has increased. Many foreign races seem to be coercively exerting pressure at the same time, especially the Ater people. They have recently continued to create border incidents and have carried out diplomatic pressure. Some things are obviously untenable. , all kinds of diplomatic lies clearly create conflicts.”

For a moment, Zheng Li was stunned.

This is still a possibility that has never been thought of. What if it is not the human side who takes the initiative to provoke trouble, but the foreign race?

From the perspective of a foreign race, human beings with bloody feuds are about to rise, should they let him grow further, or take advantage of the situation before it reaches the worst place, and act first?
"The pressure in those areas has obviously increased? Is there a new front?"

"Our Shiqian border area is quite small, and it is impossible to become the main direction of attack. It is mainly Xiujiang and Wanshou who reported the increased pressure, especially Xiujiang, who said that they saw several branches of Atel on the front line. Patriarch, that is a big man who is not likely to leave the core area on weekdays."

The Atel tribe is a silicon-based creature. It seems that each creature is strange, but it is divided into many branch races, and many of them are ore creature races assimilated by Atel.

And the patriarch of a branch sees that the branch is large or small, but the smallest is a big boss at the level of a city lord.

"Damn it, it's not really going to war."

Before, Zheng Li was a little optimistic. After all, the current Twin Cities and Shiqian City are fully committed to development, and the situation is not suitable for foreign wars. But whether the war starts or not is obviously not something you can choose.

"Go ahead, there is still too little information, let's find a professional intelligence company this time."

It was only at this time that Zheng Li noticed the shortcomings of too fast promotion. The contacts he had established were still relatively weak. Compared with many centuries-old groups, he was almost blind in terms of intelligence.

And if a war is really going to start, or be started, then many things have to be re-prepared.
