long night fire

Shang Jianyao continued:

"I want to make two more shots."

"...Why?" Long Yuehong gave up trying to synchronize her thoughts with Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the jeep behind him:

"It never occurred to us to rob them, hurt them, shoot them, and they've been hostile to us from the start, stalking us and attacking us at every opportunity.

"If we hadn't played beyond our capabilities and made one more mistake, we would be the ones lying here and being searched, and you think they would feel special about it?

"No, they only sing songs, spit on us, eat our energy bars, eat our compressed biscuits, eat our military cans, and make hot pot with the black marsh iron snake we killed. Can this be tolerated?"

A similar picture flashed in Long Yuehong's mind reflexively, which reminded him of the intense hunger he often endured since he was a child.

He suddenly flew into a rage:

"cannot!"

After answering, he immediately went limp, like a basketball that hasn't cheered up for a long time:

"However, I still don't feel so comfortable."

When Shang Jianyao heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, showing a slightly exaggerated smile:

"It's dirt.

"Get used to it."

"It's as if it's not the first time you've come to the surface..." Long Yuehong muttered, and got busy.

It didn't take long for them to open all the metal clasps and take off the military exoskeleton device from the body.

Jiang Baimian had returned to the side of the jeep at some point, and said thoughtfully:

"Long Yuehong, give it a try and see if you can control it."

Similar things will always make some men crazy, and Long Yuehong is one of them. Regardless of the blood remaining on the exoskeleton device, he hurriedly urged Shang Jianyao, and with the help of the other party, adjusted the length of the auxiliary bone , put on the energy backpack, put on the iron black helmet, and locked the metal buckle.

After the self-inspection of the integrated system was completed, Long Yuehong took a look and hurriedly reported:

"There is still 23% of the electricity, and it is said that it can be used for 1 hour and 55 minutes."

"Don't believe this, this is just a situation where you maintain normal exercise and only do basic operations. If you want to fly like this one just now, running and jumping like this, and all systems are overloaded, I think it will take half an hour at most." Jiang Baimian Lifting his left leg, he pointed to the corpse of the man with his toe.

"En." Long Yuehong began to do various basic movements.

After a series of operations, he said in surprise:

"Team leader, this is much easier to use than the one I tried in the company before!"

Jiang Baimian let out a "huh":

"It was imitated by the company. Don't even think about it. Once we become a biological company, how strong can we be in machinery and electronics?"

"That's right." Long Yuehong excitedly tested the rest of the functions of the military exoskeleton device.

Shang Jianyao still squatted in place, searching every pocket of the corpse, even the inner layer of the pants.

"There are only two packs of biscuits." Finally, he looked at the items in front of him with disgust.

These two packs of biscuits are not compressed, and there are rows of red river characters written on the packaging bags—because of the serious wear and tear, Shang Jianyao can only barely recognize "scallions" and "soda".

—— On Huitu, the two most mainstream languages ​​are Huitu language and Honghe language. The former is the lingua franca of the forces such as "Pangaea" and "Salvation Army", while the latter is mainly used in the Red River Basin and forces close to the Red River Basin. ——This includes "Original City", "White Knights" and "Orange Company", etc.

In addition to these two packs of biscuits, Shang Jianyao also found two pieces of letter paper and a badge.

Of those two pieces of letter paper, one was folded neatly, and the other was stacked together casually.

Shang Jian Yao unfolded the neat and clean letter paper, and casually commented:

"It's been folded many times."

After Jiang Baimian ordered Long Yuehong to be vigilant for four weeks, he went to Shang Jianyao, squatted down, and read the letter with him.

This letter is written in gray earth:

"Dear Father:

"I lived very well in the original city. Although I still have a little difficulty in reading, there are basically no problems with the conversation. No one can detect that I come from the wilderness...

"...The hierarchy here is very strict, but compared with the outside, it is beautiful like heaven. As long as you follow their rules, obey people who are higher than you, and find out your class and status, you can live relatively smoothly. ...

"...You don't have to worry about my studies. With the help of that person, I have already transferred to a regular college. As long as I graduate successfully, I can get rid of my status as a 'slave' and become a citizen...

"...I don't know if the food reserves in the town are enough? Although it is still summer, I heard from some students that this winter will be extremely difficult. I don't know where their judgments come from, but I just feel the need to tell you Let everyone make some preparations as soon as possible. Even if it is a rumor, I would rather believe it than ignore it...

"... You said last time that becoming a relic hunter is a good thing. Compared with being a robber, this profession is obviously safer. Of course, it is also very dangerous... Don't go to the newly discovered city ruins, don't go to the few people The ruins of the city that came back, and don't be a bandit anymore, although this will indeed bring back food for the winter to the town as quickly as possible...

"...I will try to find merchants in the city who dare to smuggle food, but I don't have any confidence, and I don't have enough resources to exchange. I just hope that the descendants of the elders who brought me to know more about the elders, see if they can Find opportunities from them...

"...Finally, I hope that you will always be in good health. I hope that the famine will not come. I hope that Uncle Jishun, Uncle Jinfeng, Brother Ayu, and Brother Qian Ning are all doing well, and that they can bring back enough food for their families. Everyone can wait until the Senate approves it, and wait until the day when it is integrated into the original city as a citizen instead of a slave. Also, the mother is very good to the mother, so there is no need to worry about it...

"...your little Angie."

After reading it, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao did not speak for a long time.

"This is dust." After a while, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself.

Shang Jianyao responded in a low voice:

"He read this letter no less than twenty times..."

A certain amount of judgment can be made from the creases of the letter and the condition of the paper.

Jiang Baimian wanted to tell Shang Jianyao that this kind of thing is life and death, there is no need to feel guilty because of it, but suddenly remembered something, so he could only pat him on the shoulder:

"Everyone has two sides, or even more than two sides, and it is completely different for your own children and for strangers.

"As a stranger, he doesn't need to care about what will happen to his child if he loses his father, he just needs to be glad that he is still alive.

"I know what you're thinking. I've also heard some rumors. I can tell you with certainty that the people in our company will not be reduced to this level of wilderness robbers. If they want to rob, they will only rob the hostile forces' supplies Team."

Seeing that Yao didn't speak, Shang folded the letter and stuffed it back into the inside pocket of the middle-aged man.

Then he unfolded the other letter, crumpled:

"mission details:

"Explore the area north of Yuelu Station and collect information about the target.

"Target Description:

"Male, unknown origin, about 1 meters tall, black hair and golden eyes, very handsome, and equally outstanding in charm. He likes to wear windbreakers, boots, and gloves, and his hair is always neatly combed. He doesn't look like wandering in the wilderness at all. , the risk level is tentatively rated as 'high'.

"remuneration:

"One ton of normal-grade flour (guaranteed by the guild).

"Task level:

"C, 100 credit points."

"This is the mission document of the Hunter Guild." Jiang Baimian introduced, and then thoughtfully picked up the badge that Shang Jianyao found, "Yuelu Station is a relic of the old world in the Black Marsh wilderness. Further north is the depths of the Great Swamp, where dangers abound."

While talking, Jiang Baimian checked the badge in his hands.

The badge was brass in color, with a face embossed with fuzzy facial features on the front, and a knife and a gun engraved on the cheeks of the face.

The back of the badge is inlaid with a small chip.

This is the badge from the Hunter's Guild.

Chapter 25 Sweeping the Field

Jiang Baimian played with the badge, and pressed his left index finger to a certain position on the chip.

Vaguely, there seemed to be an electric current flickering so small that it could not be detected.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian retracted his fingers, smiled and said:

"Still an 'official hunter'."

"Official Hunter" is a title within the Hunter Guild, which comes from their division of relic hunters.

At least on the surface, this division has nothing to do with strength and relies on so-called credit points. After all, the original intention of the Hunter's Guild was to help everyone better exchange information and resources, rather than provide a channel for advancement.

In the matter of trading, credit is more important than strength.

Therefore, the original president of the Hunter's Guild got inspiration from some materials in the old world and designed a credit point system:

After joining the guild, relic hunters can earn different amounts of credit points by completing commissions, trading with others, and providing reliable information to the guild. This does not conflict with their rewards, and the two belong to a parallel superposition relationship.

When the credit points accumulate to 100, "novice hunters" can become "official hunters". On top of "official hunters", there are "intermediate hunters", "veteran hunters", "advanced hunters" and "master hunters", and these are all fed out with missions and transactions. Of course, if your level No, the credit points are not enough, many tasks cannot be received, many transactions cannot be participated in, and others will not believe you at all, unless one or a few high-credit hunters can be found as guarantees.

Therefore, it is not unacceptable that "novice hunters" are stronger than "advanced hunters" and "master hunters". Being still alive and accumulating enough credit points can explain a lot of problems in itself - among those "advanced hunters" and "master hunters", there is always one that stands out in terms of strength, team power and resources at their disposal.

In other words, those with low credit scores are not necessarily weak, but those with high credit scores must be strong, at least in a certain way.

Based on the emphasis on credit points, the "Hunter Guild" has been severely cracking down on breaches of contract, violations, fraud, and dishonest transactions. Once discovered, the corresponding credit points will be deducted immediately, and the specific circumstances of the dishonest behavior will be marked in the badge chip.If the problem in this area is serious, the guild will even expel the target's membership and put him on blacklists in various places-this kind is generally called "Dark Hunter". Of course, because there is no communication network throughout Huitu, the blacklist must It may take several months or even longer to spread to all clubs.

As for whether the relic hunters were part-time robbers or whether they had killed anyone, as long as it had nothing to do with missions and transactions, the guild would not care at all.

In addition to these, the Hunter Guild also has a title called "Chief Hunter".

This is an honor, and it depends more on qualifications. There can only be one hunter branch in each region.

These are what Shang Jianyao learned in class and during training, so he was not at all curious about the term "official hunter", but he still looked at Jiang Baimian seriously, without saying a word.

Jiang Baimian looked down at himself, suddenly laughed and said:

"Are you wondering why I can read the contents of the hunter badge chip?"

All of these can only be read out by using special machines in local branches.

Shang Jian Yao nodded immediately, without hiding it.

Jiang Baimian raised his left arm and said:

"Since it is an electric eel-shaped biological prosthesis, it is also very reasonable to install a simple chip, sensor, data transmission line and other supporting items that require electricity.

"It's not too difficult to read the contents of the chip. Well, it's very difficult to erase and rewrite. This is a special chip and a special machine purchased by the Hunter's Guild from the 'Mechanical Paradise'. The technical content is not low."

Shang Jian Yao suddenly realized, and immediately asked curiously:

"Now biological prosthetics are starting to be equipped with electronic and mechanical things?"

"Our philosophy is that it works as long as it works. Moreover, the intersection of biology, electronics, and machinery itself is also a research focus, just like many big forces are trying to combine exoskeleton devices and bionic smart armor to make truly practical power armor. .” Jiang Baimian explained indifferently.

Suddenly, she said "Oh".

Shang Jianyao immediately put his hand on the handle of "Ice Moss".

"Haha, squatting for too long, my legs are a little numb." Jiang Baimian stood up embarrassingly, stretching her legs, her ponytail flicked behind her.

When Shang saw that Yao also got up, she opened her mouth and said:

"This task is a bit strange. Collecting information on a specific person in the Black Marsh wilderness is like casting a net into the sea to catch a specific fish."

Shang Jian Yao quickly responded:

"Have you seen the sea?"

"...that's not the point." Jiang Baimian pouted, "At least I've seen a real lake, the sea should be much wider than that."

Shang Jianyao ignored Jiang Baimian's answer, and continued the previous topic:

"Maybe this task is not just given to a hunter."

"That's right, spread the net." Jiang Baimian agreed.

After finishing speaking, she and Shang Jianyao sighed in unison:

"How rich!"

In order for all those who provide effective information to be paid, it is absolutely necessary to prepare more than one ton of flour.

Jiang Baimian turned his eyes to the depths of the Great Swamp, that is, to the north of Yuelu Station, and murmured to himself in confusion:

"What the hell is that guy doing?

"It deserves so much attention..."

At this time, Bai Chen finished the repairs, sat in the driver's seat, and tried to start the jeep.

There was a loud voice, and even Shang Jianyao could tell that it was not normal.
