"I think it's better for us to keep a little distance from this guy, otherwise we won't be burdened by him." The yin and yang guy continued, while his teammates moved in the direction away from Qi Lin.

Qi Lin didn't bother to talk to these mercenaries, so he simply held his broken AK and sat in the corner of the carriage with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Qi Lin didn't pay attention to them at all, these mercenaries instantly felt a little bored, and after a few minutes of somewhat awkward silence, they started chatting on their own.

From the content of their chat, Qi Lin knew that the three strong men who used melee weapons were three brothers, and the four mercenaries belonged to a large mercenary group called "Vultures".

The name of the vulture mercenary group was very famous in the old era, but Qi Lin could basically confirm that this vulture mercenary group basically had nothing to do with the vulture mercenary group in the old era.

The vulture mercenary group is famous not because of how large the mercenary group is and how strong the personnel are, but because the mercenary with the name "vulture" is too special......

In Qi Lin's memory alone, there were at least two large and medium-sized mercenary groups with a scale of more than a thousand people, five or six hundred people, called vulture mercenary groups, and as for those small "vulture mercenary groups" with a dozen or a few people, there were even more countless.

Vultures, scavengers, rely on corpses for their survival, especially in the sky above the battlefield full of corpses, and often hover their figures - where there is war, there will be vultures, which is just in perfect line with the characteristics of mercenaries.

The topic of conversation among these mercenaries is nothing more than the recent battle situation and the woman with the weapon in her hand - of course, the most talked about is the "revenge operation" organized by the consortium alliance.

As far as the information currently known, although the three machinery factories of Daiwa Heavy Industries 105, 106, and 107 are named "factories", in fact, each machinery factory is a huge city, and these three factory cities are entrenched in the eastern plains with the momentum of the horns, and they have always been a key defense area that the consortium alliance wants to uproot.

With the production efficiency of these three machinery factories, as long as the energy and materials are sufficient, and the production capacity is fully opened, tens of thousands of mechanical soldiers can be manufactured in a day.

This time, the consortium alliance has gathered most of the military strength of those consortiums in the alliance that have entered the permafrost tundra, and the number of infantry alone has reached four integrated combat divisions, about 30,000 people, in addition, there are various vehicles, tanks, power armored forces, etc. - in addition to the fact that neither side has an air force, the assembled forces have reached the standard of general battle.

As for why there is no air force, the reason is simple - the clouds at high altitudes also contain a large amount of dust that carries human radiation, which is lethal enough for the delicate parts of the aircraft, and if flying at low altitudes, it is very vulnerable to flying mutant creatures.

It's not that there are no forces that have organized air forces, but often before these air forces reach the skies above the battlefield, the swarming mutated creatures have already dealt a devastating blow to them.

The truck bumped for more than two hours, picking up some mercenaries at several supply points along the way, and finally came to a stop in a river valley.

"It's time to stop!"

The Consortium Coalition soldier in charge of driving the car shouted loudly, and the mercenaries in the car jumped down.

Qi Lin was the last to jump out of the truck, only to see that a small temporary base had been built in the river valley, and a sign at the entrance of the base reads "Rally Point B".

The mercenaries entered the camp in droves, the outermost part of the camp was filled with tents of all kinds, and in the center was a huge bunker made of steel and cement.

"The strength assessment is here, please follow me-" Seeing Qi Lin and his group of mercenaries enter the camp, an officer with the rank of warrant officer immediately greeted him.

The warrant officer led a group of mercenaries along the camp to the left, and after not going far, they came to an open-air shooting range, where several tables were set up, and dozens of mercenaries were lining up behind the tables, waiting for the test.

"If you are an evolutionary of level 2 or above, you can just show the evolution level on the attribute panel, if you don't reach level 2 but have other specialties, please wait in line here for the test - if the test does not pass, you can choose to leave or take the alliance truck to point C where the large army is assembled." The warrant officer briefed.

Qi Lin found that there were almost no mercenaries queuing up in front of the table on the far left, and those mercenaries just stepped forward and lit up the brain screen, and then received a nameplate and left, it seems that this should be the place to detect the level of evolutionaries.

The Evolver Level is the quickest way to define strength, as this level is determined by the Mastermind, and each player has several levels that are clearly marked on their own attribute panels, while some other abilities are more cumbersome to test.

Qi Lin walked directly to the table on the far left, and directly showed his third-level evolutionary level - the officer in charge of the test behind the desk immediately lit up after seeing the words third-level.

"Level three, the second level three today—"

As he spoke, he rummaged through a pile of nameplates, and found a steel nameplate with a ring of brass on the edge, on which was engraved the emblem of the consortium alliance and three five-pointed stars arranged together.

"You have been assigned to the first echelon of the elite first division, your direct commander is Colonel Su Shen, as a third-level evolutionary alliance has special privileges, not only do you not have to live in a tent with those mercenaries outside, but there are also a lot of equipment that can be rented for free, you can go to the mission hall for specific details. Also, don't throw away this nameplate, only the player who holds the nameplate will be considered a participant in this operation, and if your Evolver level increases, you can go to any of the evaluation offices in the assembly point to replace the four-star nameplate, and the four-star nameplate can enjoy better treatment. The officer stuffed the nameplate to Qi Lin and said quickly.

"First echelon? Colonel Su Shen? Doesn't it mean that elite mercenaries can choose their own combat missions without accepting the direct command of the alliance? Qi Lin asked.

"That's right, this is just a temporary division of the battle sequence for statistical convenience, Colonel Su Shen is your direct person in charge, usually you can freely choose the mission issued by the alliance in the mission hall, but if the battle situation is urgent, Colonel Su Shen will gather you together for unified command - of course, only if you have to, your degree of freedom is still very high." The officer explained.
