Chapter 611: Saboteurs
At this moment, Qi Lin, who was standing outside the auction hall, was simply confused.
Originally, he was going to smash the field, but looking at the current situation, it seems to be ...... Got preempted by someone else?
Looking at the players on the street who consciously distanced themselves from the auction hall, as well as the city defense troops pouring out from all corners, Qi Lin couldn't help but touch his nose - these days, has anyone even robbed the job of smashing the field? ?
Seeing a city defense soldier running in front of him, Qi Lin hurriedly grabbed him and showed the alliance badge he had obtained when he was in the Hellens Line.
"I'm a free mercenary under the Alliance, what's going on at the Prey Auction House?" Qi Lin asked the city defense soldier.
Although the free mercenaries under the alliance do not have any authority, they are also not subject to the official jurisdiction of the alliance, as long as they maintain their own positions, they can choose freely in terms of tasks.
It is also said that when the Prey auction house was attacked, Qi Lin could completely choose to intervene, and without knowing his true identity, no one would doubt his motives for being such a "free mercenary".
According to the rank, the free mercenaries and the city defense army should be at the same level, so the soldier's attitude was not too bad, and he hurriedly said: "A weekly auction has been attacked, the auctioneer and security personnel have been killed and wounded, the attacker is likely to be a saboteur of the resistance group lurking in the city, the attacker has also stolen several valuable lots, we are hunting down the attacker, if you plan to get involved, go to Lieutenant Luo to make a note, now he is the person in charge here!" ”
With that, the city guard pointed to an officer standing at the corner of the street, and rushed into the auction hall with his weapon in hand.
Freelance mercenaries can indeed choose their own tasks, but if they want to participate in emergencies like this, they still have to report to the person in charge of the operation, firstly, to facilitate the calculation of remuneration after the event, and secondly, to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings during the mission.
"Freedom mercenaries? Although it is true that we are short of manpower right now...... But the current situation is too chaotic, we don't know how many saboteurs participated in the attack, if you rush into the scene, it is likely that the city defense army will be mistaken for an accomplice of the saboteurs......" The lieutenant surnamed Luo said with some embarrassment after hearing Qi Lin's intention.
"Okay......"
As soon as Qi Lin's words fell, an even more violent explosion came from the auction hall, and the walkie-talkie in Lieutenant Luo's hand immediately rang: "Lieutenant!" We were ambushed, and all squads were wiped out! The second team was hit hard...... Ahem...... Count me in...... We've got four left—"
With four gunshots, the sound on the other side of the walkie-talkie came to an abrupt halt.
"Okay, it looks like your people are all gone, so can I go in now?" Qi Lin shrugged...... Well, these attackers are really cooperative, and just when they are still trying to find some excuse to sneak in, they have already helped themselves clear all the obstacles.
"Uh...... Are you sure you want to go in again? The riot squad arrived in five minutes, and dozens of my men were killed, and these saboteurs are not weak in combat......"
"It's okay, I'm just going in to take a look, and it's not bad to mix up the pay and subsistence allowance for 'detecting the enemy'." Qi Lin said.
However, any free mercenary who participates in the official actions of the Alliance, regardless of whether there is a battle or not, as long as he enters the combat area, he can get the most basic remuneration, which is also called "subsistence" in mercenary circles.
"Since you insist on going in, I won't stop you, leave your serial number, and I'll report it when the time comes, if you can get out alive, you should know where to get the money." The lieutenant said.
"OK, then I'm sorry for you!"
Qi Lin smiled at the lieutenant, took the PDA in the lieutenant's hand, entered the four numbers 9527, and then stuffed the PDA back into the lieutenant's hand, and a few dodges disappeared into the door of the auction hall in an instant.
“9527…… Why is this ID familiar...... Wait a minute! It's not ...... Is that guy who alarmed the lord of the castle today?! ”
By the time the lieutenant reacted, Qi Lin had already run to the third floor of the auction hall.
Weekly auctions, as the name suggests, are auctions held once a week, which are generally not open to the public, and only players who receive invitations to the auction are eligible to participate, and the lots that will appear at the auction are also worth more than the things in the daily auction.
The daily auction takes place every night in the auction hall on the first and second floors, while the weekly auction takes place on the third floor, where the décor is more luxurious and spacious – there are four auction rooms on the first and second floors, and only one on the entire third floor.
The guests who participated in the auction had been evacuated from the auction hall under the protection of security personnel, so there was nothing left at the site except the bodies of several security personnel and soldiers of the city defense army.
The circuit of the auction hall had been cut off at the beginning of the attack, and the entire huge space was pitch black, but with Qi Lin's night vision, he still found something interesting-
In a corner of the auction room, a pair of men and women were shivering together, hiding under the cover of darkness under a heavy burgundy velvet curtain, but the curtain was nearly half a meter away from the ground, and it was impossible to completely cover them.
There were a few pieces of clothing scattered on the ground not far away, and they were only less than ten meters away, but the man and woman didn't dare to move half a step at all.
Qi Lin glanced at the clothes on the ground, it was a dress and a long skirt with the emblem of the Prei Consortium and a suit of high quality, the identities of these two people were naturally self-evident, Qi Lin could even deduce what had happened to them before-
The actor should be the eldest young master of a certain consortium, and he was invited to participate in this auction, but he fell in love with a beautiful lady of manners at the auction, and felt that it was exciting to have a shot with such a girl in a dimly lit auction, so he took action...... However, the next exciting thing happened, just as they were cool, the auction house was attacked, and the rebels who suddenly broke in killed the auctioneer and security personnel, and snatched the lots, followed by a series of explosions, and in the chaos, they didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they had to crawl into this corner and hide.
Due to the darkness in the venue, or maybe because of the loss of face, they didn't want to see people like this, in short, the two of them were not escorted out of the auction hall by the security personnel, and became the only two people left in the entire auction hall.
"Tsk, it's pitiful, this stimulus is big enough, I guess I'm scared and wilted." Qi Lin sighed, although he was very sympathetic to the little young master, but the purpose of his trip was not to help the city defense army save people.
