Chapter Seventy-Two: Confrontation
Over the next two days, a number of new people arrived at the hotel every day.
Xin Yuan stayed in the hotel safely, in addition to sending a text message home to report that he was safe, he stayed in his room to practice secret arts, even if he had passed the rapid growth period in the early stage and his progress had slowed down a lot, he would not relax at all. Occasionally, when I go out, I will pay special attention to the hunters who stay in the hotel, and secretly analyze their level and ability characteristics.
Now there are more than 100 people staying in the hotel one after another, and Xin Yuan has found a total of three hunters whose strength will break through to the E-level, and the others are all in the F-level, which is very consistent with what Wang Xinguo said. It seems that a hunter of this level is already the most elite force that a fourth-level company in a nearby province can have, and a strength or stronger like himself should only be seen by a higher-level company or an official jurisdiction, if such a high-level hunter also comes to participate in this mission, he should stay by Li Zongyao's side to protect him.
However, Xin Yuan is not interested in getting into those masters who may exist, it is obvious that Li Zongyao's side will inevitably attract the most powerful offensive firepower, and among the less powerful hunters on the periphery, it is estimated that the cannon fodder miscellaneous soldiers on the opposite side are facing it, and it is clear which side is safer.
β¦β¦
Doodoo ...... Syllable.
The mobile phone that kept making alarm sounds was stopped by one hand, and Xin Yuan opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
Pulling back the quilt, he rolled over and got out of bed, put on his slippers and went to the bathroom, completing the washing process as accurately as a clock, and then returning to the bedroom.
The curtains were pulled to the bottom with a bang, and the early morning sunlight immediately poured into the room, and in the bright pillars of light, the floating dust was clearly visible, and the outline was full of colorful luster.
According to the habit that had lasted for half a year, he began his routine cultivation, and the endless flow of energy was formed through the transformation of the second rune, and as soon as he entered the body, he was merged by the scarlet source fire in his body, and began to swim along a specific route.
Half an hour later, this round of cultivation ended. He poured a cup of hot water and drank it slowly.
Knock knock knock......
A rhythmic knock sounded at the door.
Xin Yuan walked over and opened the door, and it was Wang Xinguo standing at the door.
"The person in charge has arrived, and we are about to leave, so let's go to the hall below to meet first."
Xin Yuan nodded: "Then let's go." "He didn't have anything special to take, just a change of clothes in his suitcase, and he could just go.
Thinking that the time is almost up, there have been almost no new hunters arriving since yesterday afternoon, and it is clear that the people have almost gathered, and the next step is to act.
Walking out of the door, Lin Xun and Shen Nan were standing not far from the aisle and chatting with someone Xin Yuan didn't know, and when they saw Wang Xinguo coming out, they ended the conversation, and joined in when Wang Xinguo and Xin Yuan entered, and the four of them walked forward along the aisle together.
The dΓ©cor of the aisles is warm-colored, and there is a thick dark red carpet underfoot, on which only faint footsteps can be heard. From time to time, other hunters could be seen walking out in twos and threes, heading to the banquet hall on the eighth floor.
After arriving at the hall, Xin Yuan found that some people had been scattered, divided into many small groups to sit, and there were signs with the names of different cities standing in front of them, obviously sitting separately according to the city they belonged to.
Xin Yuan and the others found the sign of Tianwu City and walked over, and there was a middle-aged man in a gray suit standing next to the sign, holding a tablet computer in his hand and writing and drawing on it, it seemed that he was their person in charge.
Wang Xinguo seemed to know the person in charge, went up and took the initiative to talk a few words, and then asked Xin Yuan and the three of them to sign in on the list, and went to the back to find a seat and sit down.
According to Wang Xinguo, this person in charge is a second-level unit from the provincial capital, and is specifically responsible for the hunter affairs of Tianwu City, so he comes down every year to lead the team and is responsible for daily management and communication and coordination. Wang Xinguo has already worked with him a few times, so he knows each other.
After that, Wang Xinguo also added some information about the person in charge, mainly to Xin Yuan, so as not to inadvertently offend the person in charge. You must know that as long as the person in charge secretly moves something during the mission, it can cause a lot of trouble to the hunters involved in the mission, and it is difficult to prevent it, so if you can maintain a good relationship, you must try to maintain it, at least let it target you.
Xin Yuan squinted slightly thoughtfully as he listened. When he was signing in just now, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that after hearing his name, the person in charge looked at him strangely, and there was an inexplicable coldness.
The feeling only lasted for a split second before disappearing, but he secretly raised his vigilance.
As time passed, the hall began to have more people, and the atmosphere soon became correspondingly warmer.
"That's not right." Wang Xinguo couldn't help frowning as he looked around at the more and more people in the hall.
"What's wrong?" Xin Yuan looked left and right and didn't find any problems.
"There are too many people." Lin Xun suddenly sighed.
Xin Yuan looked at this colleague who usually didn't speak out suspiciously: "Too much?" β
"It's too many, it's more than the number of people needed for a mission." Shen Nan's face was no longer as relaxed as before, and began to be solemn: "Nine times out of ten, this time it is a confrontation mission. β
"What is a confrontation mission?" Xin Yuan asked.
Wang Xinguo said: "Have you ever played military chess? β
"Hmm." Xin Yuan nodded, Wang Xinguo said that the military chess is similar to the combination of Chinese chess and chess.
"You can think of people here as red chess."
Xin Yuan flashed and said, "Then the black chess piece is our enemy?" β
"That's right." Wang Xinguo nodded heavily, "And it's a black chess piece whose strength will not be weaker than ours." β
According to Wang Xinguo, the confrontation mission is the one with the largest number of participants and the most casualties of all the missions, and the people gathered here will be divided into two parts, one part is responsible for protecting the target, and the other part is responsible for attacking the opponent, and the opponent is the same. The whole mission process is almost equivalent to a low-intensity small-scale war, and it is a war with no way out, if you want to live, you must win, and if you lose, the result is very difficult to say, because this kind of confrontation mission is actually a kind of official private use to solve some regional disputes that are not very easy to deal with, involving many interested parties, if you lose, it is okay to die in the mission, and those who survive will inevitably become the punching bag of those who have lost their interests, and may encounter all kinds of inexplicable accidents.
Of course, escaping is an option, but it will face a harsh official reckoning, and I haven't heard of anyone who has escaped and not been disposed of afterwards.
Therefore, the two sides in the mission are like two beasts that have been cornered, and they can only kill the other if they want to survive.
