The old man smiled: "We are friends with him, our mercenary group has long been useless, all the members are old, at that time, the three of us had already discussed this mission and then disbanded the mercenary group, so that these old soldiers and friends can enjoy the last life." ”

Speaking of this, the old man had tears in his eyes: "When communicating with the 'Grim Reaper', he told us that we would have this kind of consequence, and we decided to protect the safety of the 'Grim Reaper', do you know? Our team members all left with a smile in the last battle, they understood that the battlefield was their final belonging, and finally our three regiment commanders understood that these team members had long known our idea of disbanding the mercenary group, and the reason why they didn't leave was because they wanted to die on the battlefield, that's all. ”

Zhang Ran thought about the scene at that time, and his heart was also turbulent, a group of comrades-in-arms who had lived and died knew that after this battle, everyone would go their separate ways, far away from the battlefield that they all longed for when they left the army, and were besieged by all the 'Grim Reaper' mercenary groups in Africa at that time, they did not choose to flee, and passed away with a satisfied smile, this is their memory of the battlefield, and it is also their belief in their comrades.

After the old man calmed down, the crescent moon said, "Do you know what our mission is? ”

The old man smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to say it. ”

As a veteran mercenary, how could he not know that the mission of the mercenary group was classified.

And the 'Crescent Moon' smiled and said, "Saber and I are now going to save the exiled mercenaries of the 'Reaper' mercenary group. ”

The old man smiled: "What are the exiled mercenaries doing?" ”

Zhang Ran said to the old man: "These mercenaries are all subordinates of the original 'Grim Reaper'. ”

For the first time, the old man showed surprise: "The original 'Grim Reaper'? What do you mean? ”

'Crescent' told the old man in detail about the current pattern of the mercenary world and what happened to the 'Grim Reaper' mercenaries.

The old man said with a sigh: "Brother 'Death', I didn't expect you to suffer this kind of thing, hey, it's a pity that I don't have the original strength now." ”

The Crescent Moon said, "The 'puppet' is not famous for its strength, and they don't know your abilities, but I know it." ”

Zhang Ran asked, "What abilities does the old man have?" ”

'Crescent' smiled: "Mechanic, the modification of all machinery is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and the trap of the 'puppet' in the wild is even more unguardable, and all the opponents at that time did not dare to fight against the 'puppet' in the jungle, because many people did not know how they died." ”

The old man shook his hand: "Now the progress of science and technology is beyond my scope, I haven't studied for a long time, and now I can't imagine the advanced level of equipment and combat vehicles, I have been eliminated by society, not as mythical as you said." ”

At this time, Zhang Ran suddenly said: "I don't know what the old man's plans are in the future?" Or are you going to live incognito here forever? ”

The old man looked around and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong here, and life here is very leisurely." ”

Zhang Ran said: "It's better for the old man to follow me back to the saber regiment camp, as long as you want, the saber regiment welcomes you at any time." ”

The old man smiled and shook his hand: "I have received your kindness, I don't want to eat and drink for nothing in a mercenary group." ”

At this time, Zhang Ran said: "I can build a laboratory for you, and I can provide you with whatever you want to study or modify." ”

'Crescent' looked at the old man and said sincerely: "You better go back with Zhang Ran, at least someone can protect you." ”

The old man kept smiling, "I don't care about my life." ”

Zhang Ran said: "Isn't it like waiting for us to find the 'Grim Reaper' and you will be reunited?" ”

The old man was suddenly silent, thought about it, and then shook his head: "Hehe, forget it, even if it's you, there is no need to take such a big risk for the 'Grim Reaper', I advise you to give up, you don't need to be so persistent about the 'Grim Reaper', even if the 'Crescent' is your apprentice of the 'Grim Reaper', there is no need for this." ”

At this time, the 'crescent' slowly stood up, came to the 'puppet', squatted down, and whispered in the 'puppet's ear, and then the 'puppet''s face was full of surprise, and finally he simply opened his mouth and breathed heavily.

The 'crescent moon' got up and sat down next to Zhang Ran, and the 'puppet' slowly recovered from its surprise, looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Can you build me a laboratory?" ”

Zhang Ran nodded in surprise: "Of course, I will try my best to meet your requirements." ”

And the old man didn't say anything, put down the small bag tied around his waist, and said to the cold blood: "Give me your back." ”

Cold-blooded looked at the 'puppet' suspiciously, and while putting down the backpack behind him, he said, "I'm not a sniper rifle. ”

The puppet said, "A strong crossbow is not a rare thing. ”

Cold-blooded asked in surprise, "How do you know if this is a crossbow and not a sniper rifle?" ”

The 'puppet' smiled: "The size and shape of the backpack, don't you all have brains?" Can't you see it? ”

Zhang Ran laughed: "We never observe as carefully as you. ”

The 'puppet' opened the cold-blooded backpack and began to assemble it, and the assembled black python was presented in front of the 'puppet', and the 'puppet' said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that the weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved during the time I have been away, whether it is performance and power, but no matter how they are improved, their distance is the same." ”

Then the 'puppet' opened the small bag on his waist, and everyone found that the small bag was filled with some ordinary tools, and some special style parts, the 'puppet' held the tools in both hands, and began to fiddle with the black python, time flew by, the night slowly fell, the fire had already been lit by the saber regiment, and the 'puppet' would erect the black python for a while, and lay it flat for a while, and the parts went up and down, down and up.

Then the 'puppet' wiped the sweat from his head, threw the black python to the cold blood, and said, "Go to the distance and shoot at the fire." ”

Cold-blooded walked to the limit distance of the black python and held the black python against the fire, cold-blooded felt the black python in his hand, did not find any difference, cold-blooded and puzzled pulled the trigger, the bow and arrow were also as usual, accurately shot into the fire, splashed sparks scattered all over the ground, Zhang Ran and 'crescent moon' standing on the side did not find any difference.

The 'puppet' yelled at the cold-blooded people in the distance, "Go on, go on, go on." ”

The black python was loaded with four bows and arrows, and after firing, all the arrows had to be reinstalled, and after shooting four rounds in cold blood, the black python put down the black python and walked towards the fire, and the 'puppet' roared: "Go on, who told you to come back." ”

Cold-blooded said, "I'll come back and get the arrows." ”

The 'puppet' smiled: "Go on." ”

Cold-blooded immediately realized what was surprised and walked back to the place, pressed the button and the arrow only appeared again from the dark grid, cold-blooded looked at the black python in surprise, and then shot four more arrows, until it was confirmed that there were no arrows, cold-blooded ran back with the black python in his arms, looked at the 'puppet' in surprise and said: "Double the capacity?" ”

The 'puppet' drank the wine he got from the creep and said slowly, "That's all? ”

Zhang Ran looked at the capacity of the 'puppet' crossbow in surprise is not like a gun, which can be changed by changing the magazine or increasing the amount of the magazine, the weight and capacity of the crossbow are fixed, but after fiddling with the 'puppet' in the hands, since the arrow capacity of the crossbow has been doubled, and the weight of the crossbow itself has not increased.

Cold-blooded looked at the black python carefully, and then found that there was an extra button at the junction of the crossbow side of the strong crossbow, and said cold-bloodedly: "What is this?" ”

'Puppet': "Press it down and try again." ”

Cold-blooded pressed the button, and suddenly the crossbow side power intensified, and the entire crossbow was bent to the limit, cold-blooded looking at the black python, feeling the huge power.

The puppet smiled and said, "Now is the time to test you, you can choose the extreme position of this powerful crossbow now." ”

Cold-blooded nodded, and began to walk into the distance, and after walking a hundred meters, cold-blooded shook his head, and continued to walk into the distance. The members of the crescent moon looked at the cold-blooded who was getting farther and farther away in surprise, they all knew that the strongest and most effective distance of the strong crossbow was about a hundred meters, but now the cold-blooded position could far exceed this distance, and after the cold-blooded chose the location, the cold-blooded turned to look at the fire, only to find that they were already two hundred meters away, cold-blooded raised the crossbow in surprise, began to judge according to the direction of the wind, adjusted the excited breath, pulled the trigger in his hand, and the arrow "swished" directly into the sand next to the fire.

Returning to the fire, the cold-blooded looked at the equally surprised crowd in surprise, and said to the 'puppet': "You have increased the range? ”

"Well, there are not many parts and tools here, so we can only do this."

"Only? Damn, what a pervert. The soldier roared.

And the 'puppet' said: "You are called cold-blooded? ”

Nodding cold-bloodedly, the 'puppet' continued: "The strong crossbow is used well, but the adaptability is too poor, you only adapt to the distance of the strong crossbow for a hundred meters, once you reach two hundred meters, you can see for yourself how accurate you are." "The puppet said, pointing to the arrows stuck in the desert outside the fire.

Cold-blooded and embarrassed touched the back of his head, he knew that he didn't hit the target because the sudden increase in range made him very uncomfortable.

The 'puppet' slowly walked to Zhang Ran's side and patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder: "Rest, I'll go to your mission tomorrow, and then I'm also curious about the outside world." ”

Zhang Ran laughed and nodded: "Hehe, it's no problem." ”

Everyone looked at the 'puppet' like a monster, and the 'crescent' asked directly, "What did you do to the black python?" ”

"Black python? The name of the crossbow just now? ”

Nodding cold-bloodedly, the 'puppet' smiled and said, "It's just an increase in capacity and range." ”

"I know, I want to know how you did it." Crescent Moon asked.

"Boy, I can teach you, but are you willing to learn?"

'Crescent' laughed: "Hehe, forget it, these tedious things are not for me." ”

The 'puppet' also said: "The right people do the right things, I see that there is really no one among you who can calm down and do these things, so teach you to teach in vain." ”

At this time, Zhang Ran smiled in his heart, and invited a grandmaster-level mechanic to the camp, and the development of weapons and equipment in the future can be imagined, even the small strong crossbow can be upgraded by more than one grade after being transformed in his hands, so wouldn't those equipment surpass the same equipment a lot.
