The bloody pain reminded Ni Yu of something.

Like his name.

His real name is "04", which sounds very perfunctory at first glance.

In times of disaster, most people only have to think about one thing, and that is to survive.Whether there is a name, whether it sounds good or not, is not important at all.Not many parents take it seriously to come up with a nice and meaningful name for their upcoming baby.

Nowadays, human beings have all kinds of names, there are all kinds of names, and there are not a few people who are composed of pure numbers.

The name "04" was chosen by Ni Yu herself when she was a child.

The artificial womb that conceived him has a long series of numbers, starting with letters, the first number is "0" and the last number is "2".

Those who work in the artificial womb area are all parasites.Midwifery and feeding have no technical content. These parasites repeat the boring work and become more and more numb to children.

At first, they would give the newborn a decent name, but later they chose simpler names, and when Ni Yu was born, the names they got didn't even have words.

He was named "02". This is not the worst. He knew a child named "garbled code", because the machine failed to recognize the string of weird patterns during registration-when the parasite named the child, he directly Draw a circle.

When he grew up, he felt that "02" was too ugly, so he made his own initiative and changed his name to "04".

"Is there any difference between 04 and 02?" the partner in the underground shelter asked.

"Of course." He said, "04 sounds better than 02."

The partner honestly thought about it for a long time, and became even more confused.

He said, "Did you feel it?"

The partner shook his head and said honestly, "They all seem to be equally stupid."

The name stuck with him until his marriage.

Shen Chi said: "Your name is too perfunctory."

He just turned into a beast at that time, and he stamped his paw on Shen Chi's chest very calmly, "Then you get me one?"

After a few days, Shen Chi wrote his new name on the paper.

neon rain.

"Ni Yu?" He read out.

"Brilliant like neon, fast like rain." Shen Chi looked at him with a smile, "Is it better than 04?"

"Brilliant as neon, swift as rain," he repeated. "Sir, is this me?"

Shen Chi said, "What do you think?"

He asked again, "Is this me in your eyes?"

Shen Chi smiled.

He gently pawed Shen Chi's neck with his claws, and put the claws firmly back, "I look so good in your eyes? So powerful?"

Because it is in a beast state, he occasionally uses modal particles such as "oh", "ah" and "huhu".If you don't notice it before you say it, you will react after you say it.

It's a shame.

Shen Chi really laughed at him, but after the ridicule, he scratched the back of his neck and coaxed him, "Neon and rain are not as good as you."

What a gentle confession, he always kept it in his heart.

There is always a smell of blood wrapped in wind and sand floating in the air of the border town camp, which smells choking.

Some mercenaries with a particularly sensitive sense of smell can judge from the smell of blood what kind of mutated creature a person was injured by, whether he is infected, and whether he can survive.

Ni Yu looked at her bloody hand, but couldn't feel the pain in her head.

"So it was you." A voice came from behind.

Ni Yu frowned displeased.

He thought that no one would come to this corner.

At this moment, he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

Saiser said: "I smelled too much blood and guessed that someone was seriously injured or someone was mutating. I didn't expect it to be you."

Ni Yu stood up, the leopard ears had been retracted, her disheveled hair and cold white face were covered with blood.

His skin is too light, which makes the blood look extraordinarily beautiful.

And his eyes were very cold, and he seemed to have a frightening chill.

"I'm fine." He had no intention of hurting the mercenary in front of him—if I remember correctly, the mercenary defended him last time in the Pupa Cave.

"You..." Seth looked at his bloody hands and stopped him, "You are injured."

Ni Yu shook her head, "Get out of the way."

"What's the matter with you? Can't tell the difference between good intentions and evil intentions?" Another mercenary, who was more robust, came over with a bright impatient look on his face.

Ni Yu took a look and recognized that the other party was the mercenary who had spoken rudely to him.

what do you say that is?

Hugh?What is it?

"Hey, go on a mission with us." Xiu'an approached a few steps, "I heard that you have been idle since you came back last time?"

Ni Yu didn't want to say much, and was about to leave, when suddenly two arms stretched out in front of her.

Not only Seth, but even Xiu'an blocked him.

"I don't want to do anything." Ni Yu said.

"Tsk, what are you doing in this state? The name 'Blazing Eagle' doesn't work in our small town."

"You should think about it again."

Hugh and Seth spoke at the same time.

Hearing the word "blazing eagle", Ni Yu's eyes became colder.

Xiu'an was not his opponent at all, he could easily deal with Xiu'an without a weapon.

Cesar pushed Huu An calmly, "Your story has been rumored recently, but don't get me wrong, I have no other purpose in coming to you. You are very strong, and I hope to cooperate with you again."

After a pause, Seth continued: "This has nothing to do with whether you were the previous captain of 'Blazing Eagle', nor your past marriage. I simply hope that strong people will join my mercenary group."

In the 097 camp, there are many mercenary groups of different sizes.Different from the regular army like "Blazing Eagle", the mercenary group does not pay attention to discipline, and takes money to do things and spend money to buy their lives. No matter how famous the mercenary group is, it is just a loose alliance, and it is easy to part ways due to internal strife.

Ni Yu has never planned to join the mercenary group.

"This time the task was not placed on the light screen." Seth said again: "You know, not all tasks will be placed there for people to grab."

Of course Ni Yu knew that those rabbit parasites took advantage of it and would leak the lucrative missions to well-connected mercenaries.

"We're going to F024, with the military guys," Seiser said.

A strangeness flashed in Ni Yu's eyes, "How could there be such a mission? Any problems near the passage will be dealt with by the military."

"Tsk." Xiu'an smiled disdainfully, "'Jiao An' is so big, there are so many things you don't know."

Seth warned, "Hugh."

Xiu An shrugged, "Aren't I telling the truth? All passages are maintained by the army on the surface, but the army only pays attention to those important passages close to the east. Who cares about the passages on the northwest border of you. There was an abnormal situation in the F024 passage last time. Isn't it also recruiting mercenaries here to solve it?"

Ni Yu asked: "What is the content of the task?"

Seiser said, "Secret."

Ni Yu looked at him coldly.

Being able to get into the position of the boss of the mercenary group, Seth is obviously better than Xiu'an.

He smiled kindly and somewhat slyly, "Sorry, I can only tell the team members who are sure to go."

The three of them stalemate for a moment, Ni Yu stretched out her hand, trying to push Seser and Xiu'an away, but she caught a glimpse of blood on her hand from the corner of her eye.

He stopped his hand and took it back.

"Let's deal with it." Saiser said: "Camp 097 is no better than the capital camp. You see, the sky here is gray and there are no clouds. Mutant creatures may appear at any time. They have wounds and blood on their bodies, so they are more likely to be hurt by them." .Although you are a parasite, you don't have to worry about being infected again, but it is not without examples of multiple infections. In short, it is better to be careful."

Ni Yu followed Seiser to the place where the mercenary group usually gathers. Instead of asking the doctor to bandage, she only needed gauze and medicine, and bandaged the leopard's ears in two or three strokes.

Xiu'an said cheaply, "You... you won't be short in the future, right?"

lack?

Ni Yu thought, the lack is not necessary, but in the future he will not let them be exposed again.

"The mission starts nine days later, and the commission is guaranteed to be 890 gold per person. In the end, the commission for this kind of mission can usually be doubled or tripled. Of course, the premise is that you have to survive." Saiser said.

Ni Yu has already washed the blood off her hands and face, "What is the task?"

Seth choked.

There was a hint of danger in Ni Yu's eyes.

"Actually, this..." Seth smiled apologetically, "I don't know either."

Ni Yu: "..."

"It's not that I'm going to lie to you, it's that the military didn't make it clear." Sesser directly passed the mission acceptance slip to Niyu's terminal, "It's just that there is an abnormal situation in the F024 channel, and the mercenary group cooperates with the mobile corps' actions. I guess, Then it’s time for us to do something they don’t want to do.”

When Niyu returned to her residence, she ran into Chen again.

Chen's gaze paused briefly on the gauze above his head, "Are you injured?"

Ni Yu ignored it.

"It turns out that you rejected me because you planned to join Seth's mercenary group." Chen laughed, "That's fine."

Ni Yu walked forward.

"By the way, you hurt the leopard ear?" Chen said.

Ni Yu turned around, "What do you want to say?"

Chen shrugged, "I know a snow leopard parasite, his leopard ears were injured once, and then..."

Ni Yu waited for the next article.

Chen laughed, "Then I don't know if it's a psychological effect or a physical problem of the parasite. Even though he has recovered, his leopard ears have never appeared again."

"It has nothing to do with me." Ni Yu said.

Capital Camp, Summit Chamber.

At the pinnacle of power in "Jiao An" are eight leaders, and Shen Chi's father, Han Yan, is one of them.

The power of the leaders varies from strong to weak. The first batch of leaders were all generals of various legions. They were born and died in the battle against mutant creatures, and they took the position of leader by virtue of their military exploits.

In Han Yan's generation, the leaders no longer need to go through the experience of the battlefield, and ordinary people call them the "ruling class".

Han Yan looks much younger than his actual age - he is still in the long period of adulthood, and aging is still out of reach for him.

He was wearing a black military uniform and looked at the person who was also wearing a black military uniform standing opposite him.There is no trace of father's love in his eyes, only indifference.

And Shen Chi's gaze was colder than his.

"You're finally able to maturely and calmly judge whether something should be done or not." Han Yan's voice was low, fitting perfectly with that steady and handsome face, "It's you who married Louis after so many years. the most correct decision."

The sea in Shen Chi's eyes was still.

"It seems that I don't have to worry about your affairs anymore. But I'm curious about one thing." Han Yan changed his tone, "I heard you have another cheetah?"
