Chapter 8: The Arrival of the Newlyweds
Ellie went back to her room to take a shower, and when she came out, Zhong Peng had already cleaned up the dishes and was sitting there chatting with SB.
Ellie went downstairs and sat down at her notebook, with a faint smell of Chanel No. 5, her wet hair casually draped over her shoulders, emitting a golden glow.
SB noticed something strange about her: Ellie never used perfume or makeup, and a lot of the room was for special tasks, such as attending a banquet to keep someone safe.
Ellie changed her usual routine and sprayed perfume, and SB thought to herself: this poisonous rose has finally been conquered by men.
Ellie pointed to the laptop screen and said, "If we want to become a second-class mercenary group, we must have enough personnel and weapons, but this is not the main thing. The amount of mission completion is the most critical, and with our current strength, it is almost impossible to become a second-class mercenary group. ”
The third-class mercenary group needs to complete more than 5 third-class missions in a year, and have more than 4 third-class mercenaries, otherwise it will be demoted to fourth-class.
If you want to keep the rank, you only need to complete 5 third-class missions and ensure the number of personnel, and you can also allow for mission failures, but it is not so easy to level up.
The third-class mercenary group needs to complete 10 third-class missions in one year, and there is no record of mission failure, and only those who have more than 10 second-class mercenaries can be promoted to the second-class mercenary group in the next year.
The number of people in a combat squad is 5-13 people, and the system of mercenary guilds is reasonable.
On average, it takes more than a month to complete a third-class task, which is a bit difficult for the current cold-faced mercenary group.
It takes a little luck to level up, sometimes the number of tasks is relatively small, sometimes the application for the task will not be picked by the employer, and the number of tasks that cannot be completed cannot be upgraded.
Therefore, those first- and second-class mercenary groups often have hundreds or thousands of manpower, so that they can complete the required number of tasks in a year without being downgraded. It is almost impossible to reach a second-class mercenary group with a mercenary team.
Zhong Peng opened the task interface and picked up two of the third-class tasks after New Year's Day.
Zhong Peng asked, "Ellie, which of these two tasks do you think is more suitable?" ”
A tycoon offered a hefty $1.6 million to keep him safe during an annual economic meeting for two weeks in Vinh Phuc, not far from Hanoi.
Another tycoon wants to send a batch of cultural relics to the auction in country F, and the mercenary group must ensure the safety of the cultural relics until the auction is over, and he offers a high price of 1.2 million US dollars.
There are multiple third-class mercenary groups applying for both missions, and it seems that the employer is still considering who to hire.
After careful consideration, the three of them applied for the $1.6 million assignment, after all, it is easier to protect a living person than to protect a dead thing like a cultural relic.
Ellie closed the computer and said, "Alright, now it's all left to wait, if he picks us, we'll leave on the 5th of next month." ”
……
Early the next morning, Shark, the second man of the Agni Mercenary Regiment, learned of the assassination of the assassination, and he handed over his subordinates to a trusted subordinate to continue the mission, and quickly returned to the base with three people.
“**!” Although the shark was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the scene of blood in front of him, and he said to one of his subordinates: "Call the boss, and say that the Hanoi branch has suffered heavy losses, and ask him to send more people from the training base." ”
Guessing that the news was a few hours later than the shark, he listened to his assistant's report while waiting for the shark to check on the situation.
After a while, the shark's call came.
The Hanoi branch is one of the important branches of the Agni Mercenary Group, with a total of more than 100 mercenaries, and this time all of them are dead except for those who go out on missions, although they are only some fourth-class and fifth-class subordinates, but it is enough to give Chachai a headache.
Chachai waved his hand, and the girl who was kneeling on the ground to serve spat out what was in her mouth and retreated.
He thought for a moment and said, "Call the Blue Devil here, I have something to order." ”
The assistant replied and retreated, and after a while, a blue-haired T man walked up to Chachai, the guy who proposed to leave Zhong Peng's life in the villa.
The Blue Devil is Chachai's henchman and the highest-ranked mercenary of the Agni Mercenary Regiment, although he only goes out on missions once or twice a year, his personal ranking in the Mercenary Guild has always remained within 800.
"Blue Devil, you go to Hanoi to investigate who did this, and if the opponent is too strong, you will come back, don't be impulsive. In addition, the training base was notified to replenish the personnel of the Hanoi branch. ”
The Blue Devil nodded and said, "Boss, the other party agreed to raise the price, and the price tag of the Chinese man in the Killer Online Cold Noodles Mercenary Group is already 1 million US dollars, do you want me to kill him?" ”
Although Zhong Peng tried his best to hide his identity, the Blue Devil still investigated and found out that he was from Huaxia Kingdom.
Chachai nodded and said, "Stay safe, that person is not as simple as you think." ”
……
After two days of dull days, SB stayed alone at the base, bored to take out a certain color video that he had treasured for many years and played, he sat on the sofa and watched the video while chewing popcorn.
The door opened, and SB hurriedly turned off the TV and said, "Boss, you're back." ”
Zhong Peng walked into the door and said, "SB, if you don't wash yourself well, I'll put this USB flash drive of yours in the pool and soak it." ”
SB felt that he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, so he quickly jumped up and pulled out the USB flash drive, held it tightly in his hand and said, "Boss, don't be angry, I'll take a shower tonight." ”
Zhong Peng called SB to his side and said, "This person's name is SB, and he is the fire support of our team. Then, he introduced Black Sniper and Ghost Li to SB.
From now on, everyone will be friends in the same trench, and it won't be long before SB gets acquainted with the two. For dinner that day, SB brought out a long-cherished vodka.
Black Sniper is a pure-bred black man, thin but very stocky, and belongs to the kind of person who has a quiet temperament, which is the basic quality of being an observer.
Ghost Li is simply a small SB, the muscles all over his body are full of strength, and he also has the same big voice as SB. As a machine gunner, Ghost Li exudes a murderous aura all over his body, and has at least hundreds of lives in his hands.
Ellie held the notebook to the two of them and said, "I promised you that each of you could choose $300,000 worth of equipment." Take your pick. In a few days, the mercenary group will have a mission. ”
The rich man finally chose the cold-faced mercenary group among the many mercenary groups.
Ghost and Black Sniper begin to pick up their gear, and Ellie packs up two empty rooms for them to live in.
Black Sniper chose an M82A1 sniper rifle, the price given by the Mercenary Guild was really bad, this gun alone cost 200,000 US dollars, and he chose some other equipment and gave the notebook to Ghost Li.
Ghost Li chose an HK-13 machine gun as his main equipment on the Internet for a while, and he also chose some other equipment to spend 300,000 US dollars.
Christmas is just a few days away, and Ellie spends some money to get someone to set up the base in a festive atmosphere.
With no family ties in mind, Ellie wanted the two new members to integrate into the team as quickly as possible.
On the lawn outside the door, Zhong Peng and Ghost Li were fighting freely, they were stripped naked, and they were not afraid of the biting cold wind in winter. SB and Black Sniper stood aside, each holding $200 in their hands and roaring.
SB shouted, "Blue Eagle, kick him, kick him." Right...... That's it! ”
The two exchanged more than 50 moves, and Zhong Peng knocked over the ghost with an over-the-shoulder fall, and held him down to prevent him from getting up.
Ghost Li admitted defeat, he didn't expect this thin Oriental to be so able to fight, took out $200 from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Peng.
SB also smiled at the $200 handed to him by the black sniper and asked, "Hey, it's Christmas the day after tomorrow, do you have any plans?" ”
Ghost Li and Black Sniper have never been to Country Y, so they ask SB if there is anything interesting about it.
SB patted Ghost Li on the shoulder and said, "I'll take you two to a good place to keep it for you to remember for the rest of your life." ”
Ghost Li was about to ask why he didn't bring Blue Eagle with him, but SB preemptively said, "Leave him alone, he won't go." Let me tell you, that morning, I saw the Blue Eagle slip out of Poison Rose's bedroom. ”
SB's voice was still so loud that Ellie stuck her head out from the second floor and shouted, "SB, on Christmas Day, you can cook and eat by yourself." ”
SB didn't dare to continue gossiping and closed his mouth tightly, but it seemed to be too late.
Christmas was fast approaching, and everyone ate the turkey at noon, and after a happy time, SB left with the three of them.
When he left, SB's smile was ghostly, as if to say, "Boss, we left the base to the two of you, so you can go crazy to your heart's content!" ”
There were only two people left in the room, and Ellie couldn't help but ask, "Blue Eagle, why don't you go with them?" ”
Although the mercenary group was given to Zhong Peng, Ellie did not change her name to him, and still called him Zhong Peng's nickname.
Ellie expected Blue Eagle to give that answer, but Zhong Peng's answer did not satisfy her.
Zhong Peng said, "Ellie, Merry Christmas. I've never been to that kind of place. ”
Ellie's heart was sour, and she thought: Could it be that I was wrong, Blue Eagle never put me in his heart?
She walked over to the window and opened it, trying to calm the cold wind to calm her emotions.
Zhong Peng suddenly dodged to Ellie's side and threw her to the ground, his hands pressed against her plump twin peaks.
