The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Rango Suite" singer: Hans Zimmer.)

The next morning, after Marvin finished his daily sword training, he went to Poseidon Energy to continue his gun training. There were not enough bullets to fill a machine gun belt, so Marvin spent 100 RP to buy 500 rounds of 12.7mm bullets.

It was actually a bit troublesome not to have a spare magazine. Every time after shooting the 7 bullets in the magazine, he had to either reload the bullets or manually load the bullets into the chamber.

At noon, Marvin teleported to the vicinity of the foundation and came to Ray's residence.

Knocked on the door and saw that there were 11 people sitting there, one more than Marvin expected.

Ray John came up to introduce: "Jayne, this is Marvin. Marvin, this is our captain, Jayne Banks."

This is a man with a slightly brown skin, just over 1.8 meters tall, with slightly long, slightly curly black hair combed back, and a neat beard. He was about 25 to 30 years old, with sharp eyes and a calm expression.

Marvin has been practicing swordsmanship for quite some time, and he has seen many strong people. Judging from the other person's figure and sitting posture, this person may have certain melee ability.

Jayne Banks nodded slightly to Marvin and said, "Hello, bounty hunter." He emphasized the last two words, "They told me about you. I wonder how much you plan to charge next time you go to the super mutant camp?"

Marvin leaned against the door and looked at Ray John with strange eyes.

Ray's face was a little embarrassed. He regretted not making things clear and letting others add fuel to the fire.

"I'm here to help. If you want me to work alone, I think it's normal to charge. If everyone goes together, then just divide the spoils according to your rules. It's different from hiring."

Jayne looked around, and everyone else lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him. It can be seen that Jayne Banks has a lot of prestige in the team.

Jayne didn't dwell on such trivial matters. He skipped the topic and asked Marvin: "What are you good at?"

"Medium-range rifles, close combat is OK, and sniper rifles are OK. I'm a loner, and I have to know a little bit of everything, otherwise I won't survive."

Jayne nodded and asked: "Where do you want to be in the battle? Scout, support, assault or...?"

"You are the boss, you have the final say, it's better to follow the command in the battle. As long as I don't die, I won't refuse the orders of my superiors."

Jayne Banks was a little relieved. Marvin was a man who had seen the world and was not as arrogant as the team members said. No wonder the supervisor asked Marvin to help.

He knew the situation of his team members. They grew up together. They were actually a group of unprepared young people.

...

In the afternoon, Jayne Banks organized all 12 people to conduct team training in the wild, and then took them to a nearby abandoned farm for actual combat training with scorched corpses.

Melee combat is actually not mainstream in the wasteland. In an era of guns and cannons, melee combat cannot be mainstream as long as you cannot stop the enemy's concentrated fire.

In the end, because Marvin had a large-caliber sniper rifle, good marksmanship, and a fast moving speed, he was assigned to the scout and support group.

In fact, Marvin had suppressed his speed and did not look very scary. Being a scout and support group is what he wanted. It was so happy to shoot from the back row.

During this half-day training, Marvin also figured out why they had to carry all their weapons with them in battle. After entering the battle, the Pip Boy restricted the access to items until the battle mode was over.

This can effectively prevent users from making mistakes in a hurry, resulting in damage to items and casualties.

Space is actually a very dangerous ability. The overlap of the spatial positions of two physical objects will inevitably lead to very bad consequences. Marvin never teleports to unknown locations, and never teleports when the landing situation is unclear, just for this reason.

Marvin's inventory seems to be more advanced, and he has never had this kind of trouble. This may also be due to his own blood talent.

In addition, Marvin's inventory only limits space, not weight. As long as there is enough space, as long as the items in contact do not come into contact with other creatures, as long as the items in contact exist independently and are not creatures, they can be put into the inventory, such as a power armor weighing more than 2 tons.

After understanding the truth of the matter, Marvin was able to disguise himself. During the battle, he put away the knife on the grounds that he could not take it, making everyone think that he could not take out the knife in the battle, and he had one more trump card.

In addition, in the actual combat experiment, Marvin found that the combat quality of this group of people was really low. They were easily affected by the battle situation and their own mood. They were excited and rushed forward, and then the formation was completely messed up.

Although there were few crazy ghouls during training, we could not see their performance when the battle situation was unfavorable. We can also have a certain expectation, which is commonly known as being able to fight a favorable battle.

However, it is understandable that a group of children who grew up in a closed environment in a shelter may have received some military training, but it is impossible for them to become a group of real warriors because of this training.

But Marvin was a little jealous of their weapons, 3 power armors, Marvin couldn't remember the specific models; a rocket launcher and an unknown number of rockets; 2 multi-barrel mini-machine guns; 1 laser mini-machine gun; 2 sniper rifles.

At night, Jayne Banks decided on the battle plan for attacking the super mutant camp tomorrow.

Due to the lack of night vision equipment and related training, a raid at night is impossible. The green skinned big guys are very fierce, but there is no precedent that they will panic and flee when attacked at night.

We will set off at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and arrive at the super mutant camp at around 7 o'clock.

The camp is located in a scrap car recycling station, surrounded by a high wall made of scrap cars, about 4 meters high. The interior is full of scrap cars and scrapped machines, and the terrain is relatively rugged. There are 4 layers of stacked containers in the middle, and mutants will live inside.

The gate of the camp faces east and is blocked by the big guys with an abandoned truck. If you walk on the ground, you can only walk in through the gaps on both sides of the truck.

On the south side of the gate is a two-story brick and stone mixed with wood building. There may be mutant sentries on the roof. This should have been the office building of the scrap yard.

There is a low cliff on the south side of the scrap yard, which they said is about ten meters high.

After arriving, Marvin, Irvin and another white guy were responsible for the outer scouts to first find out how many enemies there are and their approximate location.

After the scouts reported, Marvin climbed up the cliff to provide sniper support, and the other two snipers provided support from other directions. Because Marvin said that he could climb up the cliff with his bare hands. Jayne chose to believe him temporarily.

Marvin and two other snipers were responsible for killing the enemies from the outside, and the others were divided into two teams. One team of five people was responsible for breaking into the front gate, and the other four were responsible for attacking the weak side of the second floor from the south.

After eliminating all visible enemies, they broke into the second floor first and then the central container to search for the required things. The sniper was responsible for guarding and supporting outside.

The Pip Boy had the ability to make short-distance calls, but it didn't have headphones. Marvin thought that the wasteland technology was simply weird.

That day, Marvin still refused their stay, left the foundation by himself, and agreed to come and set off together at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Marvin came out of the foundation compound and changed his clothes in an unmanned place. He wore a torn jacket, jeans, and old canvas shoes. He spent 300 RP to buy 10 invisible boys, which is a single-soldier device that can make people invisible for 5 minutes. The blueprint was obtained from the underground base.

The invisible boy is optically invisible, and when moving, the surrounding light will refract and show a blurred outline. Marvin decided to add the magic "Dark Curtain", so that he can hardly be discovered in the dark environment.

After dark, Marvin cast the Dark Curtain and activated the first invisible boy to approach Jayne Banks's three-story cement building.

He had visited Jayne's residence during the day and stopped outside the side window of the house. Here he could vaguely hear the conversation of several people. With the magic "Clairaudience" and eavesdropping against the wall, he could hear it clearly.

If it is still not clear enough, Marvin also bought an old stethoscope when buying clothes. There are many similar things on the stalls.

He decided at noon that he would use up 10 invisible boys today. It would be good if he could hear something useful, and leave if he couldn't hear anything.

During the eavesdropping, some people came out and some went in, and no one found Marvin under the window.

When the 7th invisible boy was used...

The voice of the blonde girl: "Aretha, have you seen my comb?"

Another girl said: "No, go back and see if it fell under the table."

Ray John's voice: "Shut up, Jialin, we are talking about something, or you can close the door."

The voice of the blonde girl: "Tsk, what's the big deal." Then the door closed.

Elvin Jordan's voice: "Rey, you saw it too, right? Boss, we all saw it. That knife is very different."

Rey's voice: "Elvin, maybe I saw it wrong. That knife is bare, where does the energy come from? How can it emit blue light? I think it is reflected ambient light."

Another male voice that Marvin is not familiar with: "Although I didn't see it, based on Rey's description, I don't think it is a strange knife. Elvin, what you said is not scientific at all."

Elvin Jordan's voice: "You have to believe me! I saw it with my own eyes! You all know the Grafton monster next to Charleston Station, right? I saw him holding that knife with his own eyes. The knife was shining blue. He cut off the monster's leg with one knife, and cut off the hand with another knife. It's too scary..."

Unfamiliar male voice: "Come on, Elvin, the more you talk, the more you will say it. It's getting more mysterious. That thing can't even be used by rocket launchers. You've been exposed by us every time you lied, so why are you still here? "

Jayne Banks' voice: "Wait, tell me about the Grafton monster in detail, any details."

Elvin's voice: "My injury that day was almost healed, and I planned to go out for a walk, just to see the big monster, anyway, it couldn't get up from the bottom. Then I heard gunshots, and someone on the other side was shooting the monster with a gun.

I wanted to watch the show, everyone knows that shooting that thing with a gun is basically useless. Later, I saw Marvin jump down, and I was stunned at the time. How could this man be so bold... I'll show you his movements, I will never forget it in my life... Later, he looked around vigilantly.

I hid behind the stone and got away. Fortunately, I brought a telescope, otherwise I couldn't see it so clearly."

Marvin sighed secretly.

I was a little excited when I saw the big white muscle stick that time, but I didn't expect to be seen by someone. This person is from Shelter 76. No wonder Elvin's attitude towards Marvin has always been strange.

If you saw it, then why hide it and not say anything? With Elvin Jordan's chatterbox personality, it's not right for him to hold it in.

Jayne Banks' voice: "It is indeed the way a close combat expert acts. My uncle told me a little bit. Elvin, I believe half of what you said. But I want to see more evidence. This man was sent by the supervisor, and we can't just do it casually."

In the dark, Marvin narrowed his eyes. Do it?

These shelter boys are pretty ruthless. Marvin was not angry, he was just trying to survive in the wasteland, and he had to be more ruthless to survive.

Irvin Jordan's voice: "Great! Boss, I knew you were the smartest. Don't worry, I will definitely find more evidence. Great!"

An unfamiliar male voice: "Erwin, so what if you get the power armor? You can't even complete the training."

Rey John's voice: "Sean, shut up! Ervin's a partner. Also, I don't like that kid."

Jayne Banks's voice: "Yeah, Erwin, you have to hurry up and train. Otherwise, you won't be able to use the power armor. Others will have objections. Rey, is it because of the sniper rifle?"

Rey John's voice: "More than that. He makes me uncomfortable, like, like... why is he so calm about everything? Calmer than you."

Jayne Banks's voice: "Hey, Rey, this is not like you. You can do it with two more years of experience. I believe in you. Let's see about Marvin's matter like this... "

The sound of the door opening.

The voice of the blonde girl: "What happened first? That guy named Marvin is so annoying, he keeps a straight face all day long. Also, he passed by my house, and then my CAMP disappeared at night, which makes me want to Even the decoration can’t be changed, it must be his fault..."

Unfamiliar male voice: "Galin, I'll ask him for you. Just ask him. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

The voice of the blonde girl: "You? Forget it. I also saw him hit the mud crab a few times. It's true..."

…

Marvin was no longer interested in listening anymore and returned to the underground base to sleep.

At 5 o'clock in the morning the next day, when it was still dark, everyone had already gathered.

Marvin was doing everything as usual. Apart from necessary conversations, he was mostly observing everyone. He usually has few expressions and doesn't need to act at all.

In the team, Jayne Banks and Rey John were leading the way wearing different models of power armor, and Sean Money, the No. 3 player in the team, was wearing power armor at the end. Marvin followed silently from a position in the middle of the line.

The 12 people headed west along the mountain road. After descending the mountain, they turned south and moved forward in the roadless wilderness. The people in these shelters were a little nervous and silent at first, but they seemed to have calmed down after going down the mountain and started talking and laughing. They are all boring stories about shelters and travel experiences.

After it was completely light, these people fell into a state of tense silence again.

In the distance, Jayne Banks stopped the team when he could already see tall stacks of containers, two-story buildings, cliffs and cement roads rising above the wasteland.

Jayne called three scouts and said, "The weather is good and the visibility is sufficient. Marvin, you go directly to the cliff. Are you sure you can go up alone?"

Marvin nodded.

He didn't attack immediately because he wanted to see the real combat power and reaction of these people when they encountered a strong enemy, so that he could take action when they fell out with each other in the future.

Of course, he wouldn't mind stabbing someone in the back if the timing was right.

Jayne exhaled and said: "You'd better not drop the chain. Lukes, go around and go to the west. Erwin, go to the north. You must reply to your situation in half an hour at the latest. If you encounter danger, go directly Stand back and save yourself.”

Marvin had already changed into his armor and patched leather trench coat before setting off, carrying two rifles on his back and jogging towards the red clay cliff.

Except for two huge flies, he encountered nothing on the road. A few minutes after killing the flies with a long knife, Marvin arrived at the cliff. This is a large lump of earth that stands up abruptly, as if something is pushing up the ground. It is surrounded by vertical cliffs. It is really difficult for ordinary people to climb up without tools.

There was no one around, and the super mutant camp was blocked by a cliff on the opposite side. The team had already determined their tactics, and no one would disrupt the established arrangement for him.

Marvin put away the gun he was carrying and teleported to a high altitude. After seeing that there was no danger, he used the mage's hand to pull himself toward the cliff. He grabbed the protruding rocks with both hands and climbed to the top of the cliff.

The top of the cliff is no different from the surrounding wilderness, with a horizontal length of more than 300 meters and a vertical width of dozens of meters. There were a few large rocks and dead animal bones among the grass, but nothing else.

Marvin carefully screened it and after confirming that there was no danger, he pressed the call button of Pip-Boy and reported: "I am Marvin. I have arrived at the designated location. There is no danger. I will report the observation situation in 10 minutes. Over."

After receiving a "receipt" from the other side, Marvin observed with a sniper scope on the northern cliff, changing his position from time to time.

The top of the cliff is about 80 to 150 meters away from the two-story building, and about 300 meters from the highest point of the container in the center, which is a good distance.

There is a breeze from west to east, which is equivalent to no wind for a 12.7mm caliber sniper rifle. It was a clear day with excellent visibility and the sun was to the east on the right.

"This is Ma Wen, reporting on the observation situation on the south side of the cliff. There are 2 people on the roof of the main building, and the number of people inside the building is unknown; 1 person on the north side of the gate, and the south side is blocked; 3 people in the area behind the main building, and 1 mutant found in the area behind the gate Hounds, one person was found on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the middle container, and one person and one hound were found on the west side of the container. A total of 9 people and 2 hounds were found on the north side of the container. "

"Copy that. Stay on standby."
