sink

097 base.

The mercenary management office is like a lively vegetable market. The new military missions are scrolling on the light screen. The mercenaries who urgently need electronic money to make a living are like the geese before the mutation, with their necks stretched out. Find less dangerous tasks.

But on this planet, there may no longer be non-dangerous missions.

Relatively easy tasks are always booked by well-connected mercenaries before they are placed on the light screen—even now, "favors" are still useful, and those who are responsible for launching tasks are small military officers. Characters, most of them are low-level parasites who don't earn much and do heavy work. Some mercenaries stare at these parasites, give them some benefits from time to time, and get the easiest tasks from them.

As for the mercenaries whose brains are not flexible enough, they can only guard obediently in front of the light screen.

Not long ago, the most lucrative task—destroying the chrysalis cave—was snatched by Seth’s mercenary group.The group left in three light armored vehicles and never came back. Many people speculated that they might not come back.

"Sese is drifting this time. He dares to accept an order as big as the Pupa Cave. He doesn't have enough people of his own."

"I heard that he temporarily recruited several newcomers."

"Looking for death, temporarily recruiting new people, do you think you live too long?"

"But having said that, someone has to deal with those chrysalis. If Cesar fails, why don't they re-send the mission?"

"Maybe the military did it themselves?"

"Who knows?"

Some people were chatting, others had already taken the mission, and there were also mercenaries who returned safely and were eager to exchange for "military merit".

"Military merit" is a joke among the mercenaries. The mercenaries who complete the mission and come back alive can receive a sum of electronic money at the management office, which is directly entered into the personal terminal for the mercenaries to live in the base.

Some mercenaries from the East felt that talking about money was vulgar, so they dubbed electronic money "military merit".

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the gate of the management office. The mercenaries who were discussing the pupa cave looked over, and one of them was surprised: "Isn't that Seth? They're back?"

"But they seem to be missing a lot of people?"

"It's impossible not to reduce the number of staff. It's good to be able to come back a few."

"Hey, who is that little boy?"

"He is the new mercenary recruited by Seth this time. It's good luck that he didn't die."

There were 31 people in Seiser's group when they left the base, and only 9 people were left when they came back, and 5 of them were infected with the mutated virus and have been quarantined.

Ni Yu stood at the end of the line, still wearing the pair of rose-colored goggles, ignoring the discussions around her, and looking ahead with a blank expression.

After Seiser completed the formalities, the surviving team members stepped forward one by one to accept the "military merit".

When it was Niyu's turn, Niyu took off her terminal and handed it to a soldier with a big waist and round arms.

It was a rabbit parasite, probably working too hard to notice that the outline of a rabbit had emerged on his face, and a pair of dirty gray ears were also resting on his shoulders.

"A total of 390 gold." The rabbit parasite completed the operation, and returned the terminal to Niyu, revealing two front teeth that were yellowed by inferior cigarettes, "Yeah, can someone like you come back from the chrysalis cave?"

Ni Yu looked down at the fat man, imitating his tone and said: "Yeah, you still don't want to lose weight?"

Rabbit Parasite's ears perked up in anger, "How dare you laugh at me! Don't you know whose territory this is?"

The Mercenary Management Office is, of course, the territory of the military.

But military elites don't come here to hang out, so a group of low-level soldiers became the "masters" here.

If the mercenaries want to get the mission, they must have a good relationship with these people.

The rabbit parasite was used to being praised by the mercenaries, and suddenly he was ridiculed by a strange face, and immediately raised his posture and said: "You have to apologize to me."

Ni Yu didn't bother to look at him again, and went straight out the door.

The longer I stayed at the base, the more I realized that these low-level characters should not be offended. After watching the excitement, the mercenaries all found this newcomer interesting, and people kept asking loudly where Seth got that little boy.

No matter what era it is in, a place with a lot of men is bound to have filthy language, and the topic was soon brought to that matter, there were bursts of strange laughter in the hall, but Xiu An, who didn't like Ni Yu, suddenly yelled, " Shut the fuck up."

The base is composed of a military area and a living area. The outermost part is the military area, where the 097 Legion is stationed—this base is called the 097 Base, precisely because it is the 097 Legion that provides protection for it.Surrounded by the military area is the living area, where tens of thousands of people and parasites live. Of course, even the living area has a large number of small military duty areas.

In the "Catastrophe Era", every land base has become a large closed community, where semi-military management is implemented, and people lose their freedom, like prisoners looking at the gray sky in the narrow living room.

However, when life cannot be guaranteed, freedom is not important anymore.

Survival is the first priority.

After leaving the mercenary management office, Ni Yu parted ways with Seiser and the others. He was not a member of Seiser's team, so there was no need to act with them after the mission was over.

Night in the base was not much different from daytime. Although the sun had already set, in order to prevent the invasion of mutated creatures, high-power energy lamps illuminated every corner as brightly as day.

Niyu lives in District 20.From the mercenary management office to the 20th district, you need to pass through a "convenience square".Niyu heard that before the disaster struck, the square meant openness and peace, without any obstacles on it, and people liked to exercise, take a walk, or even dance there.

Now, the function of the square has changed.

People who are not capable of becoming mercenaries have to live. The electronic money issued by the military on a regular basis is only enough to maintain the most basic life.

The square is filled with shops the size of wild animal cages, selling everything—the premise is that it does not violate the "Base Regulations" drawn up by the military.

Niyu is not interested in anything else, every time she passes by the square, she only goes to the eating area.

"Again?" You can't make much money selling cotton candy, so Chen Ren can't find a shop with a good location, so he can only hang it on the corner of the square.

However, his stall is very distinctive. There are always colorful cotton candy on the shelves, like auspicious clouds, attracting children who were born in the base and have never seen the outside world.

There are no clouds to be seen from the base, and even on the clearest days, the sky is the color of lead.

The children here don't even know what Yun Duo looks like.

A marshmallow needs 0.1 gold. Every time Chen puts the marshmallow in the hands of children, he will tell them that Yun looks like this.

Niyu paid Chen Yijin, "Make me the biggest one with the most colors."

Chen laughed, "The biggest one doesn't cost that much."

Ni Yu said, "Just keep it."

Five minutes later, the colorful marshmallows were ready, and Chen was ingenious and made a rabbit head.

Ni Yu frowned, "Rabbit?"

In his eyes, rabbits are not a good thing.

That fat thing with big ears in the Mercenary Management Office is a rabbit.

The children had never seen such a beautiful cotton candy, and they ran after Ni Yu all the way.

In front of them, Ni Yu bit off one of the rabbit's ears.

Immediately frightened and cried the child who ran at the front.

Ni Yu pursed the corners of her lips, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Walking 50 meters west from the cotton candy shop, there is a restaurant specializing in beef rice bowls.

Ni Yu hadn't finished eating the cotton candy when she walked in.

The business of this store is very good. The sauce red soup is twice as thick as other stores, and the meat is thick and large, which can cover the rice like a hill.

But the meat is naturally not real beef, but artificial meat with the same taste as beef.

The shop was full of people, most of them were mercenaries, Ni Yu hesitated for a moment—should I eat at the same table with these smelly men?Or find another restaurant that is less crowded?

Three minutes later, Ni Yu sat down on the only remaining seat at the dining table for 3 people, with a signboard in front of her, holding a rabbit cotton candy with only half its head left.

When the mercenaries looked at him, he acted like no one else, and didn't even bother to give him a look.

"New here?" someone asked.

"On Seth's team." Someone answered.

One of the mercenaries who came out of the chrysalis cave alive was a jerk - word seems to have spread.

Everyone around was talking about her, Ni Yu frowned displeased.

Fortunately, the beef rice bowl was served at this time. He bent his eyes and buried his head in eating, still holding the cotton candy in his left hand.

The discussion among the mercenaries only lasted for a while. When the owner switched the light screen to the special channel of the "Jiao'an" base, everyone exclaimed in unison.

Ni Yu didn't look up, but her hand holding the spoon paused.

Appearing on the light screen was a handsome man with black hair and black eyes, black military uniform, and silver stars on his shoulders indicating his identity—major general.

Shen Chi, the youngest general of the "Jiao'an" base.

Standing next to the major general was a man in a white dress with light blond hair and blue eyes.

Blonde beauties are almost extinct, at least in the 097 base.

The mercenaries whistled excitedly, swearing all over their mouths, wishing to kill the major general and take the beauty for themselves.

The only one who didn't look at the light screen was Niyu.

He quickly stuffed the artificial meat into his mouth, and the greasy sauce trickled down his chin.

He heard the yelling of smelly men—it was the major general's newlyweds.

"Zi!"

There was a piercing sound as the stool was torn on the ground, and it was Ni Yu who stood up.

There was a short pause for the harsh words, and the eyes of the mercenaries gathered around him again.

The burly man on the side said, "You fucking hit me!"

Ni Yu held the rabbit cotton candy and walked towards the door of the shop and said, "Because your sweat stinks."

There were soldiers patrolling everywhere on the road, and Ni Yu went straight to the 20th district, wanting to return to her residence quickly and immerse her body in hot water.

All resources of the base are controlled by the military, and hot water is no exception.

Taking a hot bath for more than half an hour consumes more electronic currency than the marshmallows and beef rice bowl he ate just now combined.

But he couldn't care less.

I just want to take a shower and wash off all the stink on my body.

The smell of sand on the Gobi Desert, the smell of corpses in the chrysalis cave, the body odor of mercenaries...

Wash everything off.

He hates the smell!

The combat uniform was torn off, and the tattoo covering half of his back was finally revealed.

Ni Yu walked into the hot water, and when she took off the rose-colored goggles, she lightly sniffed, and wiped her right hand quickly from the corner of her eyes.

There was a drop of tear that didn't have time to fall.

Beef rice bowl restaurant——

"Fuck!" A white mercenary suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "I fucking thought that cotton candy-eating guy looked familiar just now, isn't that the parasite who just divorced Shen Chi? How did he end up here? "
