Chapter Ninety-Nine: Target Thanos XVI

Mercenaries are called battlefield jackals, which contains many factors, not to mention negative emotions such as contempt and disgust, fear may also be more or less contained in it, Li Yunlong did not know much about the mercenary profession before, and the most intuitive impression is probably to take money and sell his life!

Li Yunlong's own foundation is relatively shallow, and it is true that he can fight, but he has no power under his command. Against Thanos and his troops, Li Yunlong didn't plan to go up and fight hard, so he naturally chose to hire those mercenaries who were not afraid of death to kill him for himself.

In this process, Li Yunlong sent his own clone, and through a large number of contacts, Li Yunlong had a deeper understanding of the mercenary industry.

There are a lot of mercenaries, and this number is almost impossible to count in the interstellar world, and the sources are also strange, veterans, soldiers abandoned by their superiors, defeated fugitives, poor and crazy warriors with a certain bottom line, gamblers who lose their eyes and have a lot of debts on their backs......

At the same time, there are a large number of mercenaries in the industry, there are all kinds of people, which is not only talking about the various races in the interstellar, but also refers to human nature, there are good, there are bad, there are those who keep their reputation, and there are those who are used to betraying, which also leads to the mercenary industry as a whole showing a scattered status quo!

It is not wrong for many employers to be quite wary of the mercenaries they hire to carry out their missions. There are indeed bad people in the mercenary industry, they don't care about credibility in order to make money, just like a rat poop can spoil a pot of porridge, and notoriety is always easy to spread!

Besides, there is not only a single rat shit in the mercenary industry, there are many of them, if they are judged to be scum and scum by the standards of normal people, bastards who deserve to be shot for five minutes! At the same time, there are also knights with noble character among them, although there are very few such people.

Under the cover of this complex and negative reputation, the occupational risk of mercenaries is actually very high, and disability and death are almost their daily routine! Even if a mercenary wants to change careers, their resume will deter many bosses, and the boss hires people to work for themselves to earn money, but not to find trouble for themselves, people who have been engaged in high-risk industries such as mercenaries are often in trouble, and even if they do not cause other troubles, they will often cause trouble themselves!

Have you been on the battlefield, seen many lives lost on bloody hands, and how many can tolerate the mediocre and greedy boss who dictates and acts on his head?

Therefore, after joining the mercenary industry, many practitioners did not want to leave, but soon after leaving, they returned to the mercenary industry and worked until they died!

And people in the mercenary industry are particularly prone to extremes, especially in the mercenary industry, the bottom mercenaries, who occupy the vast majority, will show their cruelty in almost all aspects of life, danger is always around, pain is everywhere, they dance in the hands of death, either sacrifice others to death, or sacrifice themselves to death!

It can be said that according to the standards of psychiatrists, more than ninety percent of mercenaries have mental illness, at most, they are not seriously ill.

Not only psychologically, but physically mercenaries are also very different from ordinary people. Even the special forces on Earth, in order to achieve better physical fitness and be able to have stronger adaptability and survivability in the wild, will inject many drugs and vaccines that ordinary people will not be able to come into contact with in their lifetime.

How could these mercenaries who were fighting on the battlefield be the same as ordinary people? The vast majority of them had undergone relevant modifications, targeted drug injections were the slightest, and organ implantation and body modification were the most common!

In addition, mercenaries are very vulnerable to injury and disability when they go to the battlefield, and all kinds of artificial organs and weapons that are directly installed on the body through modification are very popular in the circle of mercenaries.

Don't look at the mercenary industry, in fact, it is playing with your head, the mercenary itself is an intelligent creature but has the instinct to survive, and naturally hopes that he can become stronger, and when he goes to the battlefield to fight for his life, he will die his own enemy, not himself!

Body modification can achieve this goal very quickly, and of course it will be appreciated by mercenaries. In the mercenary community, there are many ways to find relevant information, and sometimes mercenaries don't need to find it themselves, and relevant information will be sent to the door like an advertisement.

Of course, much of this information is really just advertising! Illegal medical sites for body modification often exist in many places at the same time in an area where mercenaries are concentrated. The general advantage of these illegal body modifications is that they are cheap, and they never ask who the people who come to the transformation are and what the purpose is, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to say what the results of the transformation are. The mercenaries know this very well in their hearts, and even many old mercenaries know who is behind these illegal medical points!

Regular human clinical trials are very troublesome to take the legal route, not only do they cost a lot of money, but if something happens, they will often involve a lot of trouble! How can those black-hearted businessmen who have fallen into the eyes of money do this honestly? Mercenaries who are greedy for cheap and are not afraid of death have become a good choice for these black-hearted businessmen!

All kinds of body modification techniques that are quite dangerous and the results cannot be guaranteed are applied to these mercenaries, not only can they obtain detailed human experiment data, they do not need to worry about any legal troubles, but they can also get another sum of money from these mercenaries! How can the black-hearted businessmen who fall into the eyes of money not like it?

There are a lot of mercenaries who don't know what to do, but the mercenaries don't have a choice! There are a lot of technical levels involved in body transformation, and regular body transformation is not only strictly demanding, but also very expensive! It is not for ordinary people at all, even if it is mixed in the regular military, only the high-level and those so-called soldiers can enjoy it!

And in these illegal medical sites, there are no strict review requirements, and the price is much cheaper, if you are lucky, you may be able to double your combat effectiveness and survivability with just one physical transformation! In the face of risks and temptations, what can mercenaries do?

These transformations are often one of the sources of pain in the daily lives of mercenaries, because these transformations are often experimental in nature, since they are experiments, there are naturally successes and failures, and it is better to say that successful transformations can have no side effects?

There may be problems with every operation on the earth, and there may be rejection of organ transplants, and this kind of experimental body modification is risky and serious, as long as you think about it, you can know!

And because it is experimental, the systems and parts used for body modification are often problematic, and when you want to replace them later, you can't even find the parts.

So sometimes you see a mercenary install an iron hook on his hand, and then wield the iron hook as a cold weapon to use, don't be surprised! When this iron hook was first transformed, it may be a very powerful and advanced weapon, but there is no relevant parts to replace it in the future, and it gradually loses its function, and the mercenary himself has no money to replace it with a new one, and a wider range of body modifications are used to replace it, and in the end it can only be used as a cold weapon.

This situation is a very common phenomenon among mercenaries, especially among the mercenaries who occupy the vast majority of the number and the bottom mercenaries!

Li Yunlong threw money indiscriminately and hired a large number of mercenaries to fight for him, many of whom were extremely adventurous, or those who were impatient to live, and who really wanted to fight hard, would sign a contract with Li Yunlong, stipulating that once he died, Li Yunlong would need to pay the money to the designated person.

The target of this kind of mercenary selection is the elite troops in Thanos' corps, unfortunately, among this kind of mercenaries, Li Yunlong has never encountered a mercenary corps of medium or above, the vast majority of them are mercenaries who run a single gang, and a few are small-scale, that is, the kind of mercenary corps that only has one boat, a few people or a dozen people, at most it can be regarded as a small team of mercenary corps, to sign this kind of contract with Li Yunlong.

Among these people, not to mention masters, there are not even a few well-known ones in the mercenary industry! Their choice to sign this kind of contract with Li Yunlong is essentially to cheat money, and to cheat Li Yunlong out of money with their own lives!

Li Yunlong did not sympathize with them, because this was their own choice! No matter what the reason, they themselves chose to engage in the high-risk profession of mercenaries, and it was they themselves who chose to sign this kind of contract with Li Yunlong! Since everything was their own choice, the risks and consequences were of course and they had to bear them!

Those small-scale mercenary regiments are okay to say, no matter how poor they are, no matter how broken they are, they also have a boat of their own, and Li Yunlong's doppelganger can be directly sent to supervise them to fight against the elite corps under Thanos. Those who ran the gang were simply shameless, many of them were poor, and they didn't even have a boat of their own, and Li Yunlong had to find a way to send them to Thanos' elite corps battleship.

Contrary to many people's expectations, including the expectations of these poor mercenaries of the Running Single Gang, Li Yunlong received them very warmly, and when signing the contract, the rules were in place, if they were unfortunately killed in the battle with the elite army under Thanos, the money that should be given would also be a lot of money, and it would hit the people they designated.

Many people don't understand why Li Yunlong did this? Is it for the sake of face? Or is it for the sake of some kind of momentum? Anyway, everyone has seen the matter of Li Yunlong throwing money indiscriminately, maybe it is purely to spend money and throw it into the water to listen to the sound, and it is not good to say!

But Li Yunlong's choice undoubtedly contributed to this unhealthy atmosphere, and there were too many mercenaries who couldn't get along, or were already desperate and couldn't survive, so they came to Li Yunlong for this!
