Chapter 529: Eagle Chasing Mercenary Group
Vault 909, Residential Area.
The Eagle Chasing Mercenary Group is one of the few independent mercenary groups in the Underworld, but despite this, in this era, it is still difficult for a mercenary group to gain a foothold in the Vault if there is no support behind it.
The long-term employer of the Eagle Chasing Mercenary Group is the Cheng Consortium, to be precise, it should be the current acting head of the Cheng Consortium - Cheng Su.
They are also the only armed force that can legally be stationed in Vault 909, except for the private army of the Cheng Consortium.
In other words, the Eagle Chasing Mercenary Group can also be regarded as half of the Cheng family's private army, but they have to purchase all their weapons and equipment by themselves, and they also have great freedom in recruiting personnel, and their task is to assist the Cheng family's legitimate private army to maintain order in the shelter.
Its status is somewhat similar to a profession called "assistant police" in China in the old era.
John is the leader of the Eagle Chasing Mercenary Regiment, although this is a foreigner's name, but John is a 100% pure Chinese, as for why he chose such a name, in John's own words, it is to "be in line with international standards".
I don't look at those big stars in the old era or anything, who doesn't have an English name, what jacky Chen or jay Zhou, I feel full of style when I hear it, full of big names.
Since Cheng Yanqiu stormed Vault 909, Cheng Su's troops have been in a stretched condition, and at this time, the task of maintaining law and order in the residential area can only be entrusted to these mercenaries.
Blocks 8 to 15 are all under the responsibility of the Eagle Chasing Mercenary Group, and what they have to do is to ensure that Vault 909 is under control of the people in the residential area during the so-called "strategic transfer of materials", and if anyone gathers to make trouble, they even have the power to shoot directly.
John liked the feeling - although the mercenaries were "inferior" throughout Vault 909, John felt like a god who had the power to kill and die in front of the ordinary residents.
Anyway, now the entire Vault 909 is a mess, and no one will say anything to take advantage of the chaos to kill a few guys who don't like their eyes, and if anyone says, then even kill him together.
Anyway, this neighborhood is inhabited by some migrant workers and their relatives in Vault 909, and as for the Cheng family, they will not live in such a dirty and messy low-level residential area.
A makeshift barricade had been erected at the corner of Block 8 with sandbags and empty oil drums, and John and several of his men were carrying guns, sitting on sandbags, smoking cigarettes with their legs crossed - when the evacuation plan was first written, there were indeed residents who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but they were faced with light machine guns behind the barricades, John did not shoot as he should have cautioned, and in the first round of strafing he had his men shoot directly at those who tried to storm the barricades, after dropping a dozen corpses, The inhabitants finally realized a problem: these people had been given permission to massacre them at will.
On the one hand, there is a rumor that "the shelter is about to be blown up" in the crowd, and on the other hand, there is the muzzle of the black hole, at this time, the vast majority of people choose to retreat, after all, it is uncertain whether the rumor is true or not, but the group of people with guns in front of them kill people without blinking.
"Tsk, few people ran out today, and they all learned to be obedient, it's so fucking boring." John threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and there were several stalls of congealed black blood on the ground not far away, and as for the corpse, it was thrown directly into a nearby waste recovery well, and it was unknown whether it would be turned into fertilizer or fuel.
"Anyway, it's a pity that the pretty little girl yesterday, I still want to find a chance to catch her, boss, you actually swept people down with a shuttle." A red-haired mercenary complained.
"Then you kid won't take it hot, right? Hahahaha! ”
As soon as John finished speaking, a heavy footstep suddenly sounded from far and near, and it seemed that some "big guy" was running towards it.
"What's the sound!?"
Several mercenaries were startled, quickly grabbed their weapons and jumped behind the bunker.
The source of the sound soon appeared in front of John's eyes, it was a steel giant more than six meters high, carrying a huge cannon with a terrifying aura on his shoulder, the muzzle of the giant cannon was enough to stuff John's whole body into it, and on both sides of the mecha's breastplate, the muzzles of the two twin machine guns were still slowly rotating, ready to shoot at any time.
This mecha had obviously just run over from the industrial area, and the barricade where John and the others were located had just stopped in the path of the mecha.
They already knew the news that the industrial zone had fallen, and not long ago, several groups of heavily armed soldiers passed through them and hurried to the industrial zone.
This mecha came from that side, and it didn't say hello in advance, obviously the person who came was not good......
One of the mercenaries had just raised his gun when John suddenly slapped him to the ground, and then John raised the weapon above his head with both hands, stood up from behind the barricades, and flashed to the side.
"We are not enemies! We are not enemies! We are mercenaries and we are willing to remain neutral! Please don't fire! John shouted at the mech.
What are you kidding, a huge cannon of this caliber, even if it is a permanent pillbox fortification, can be shot at once, and John is still very clear in his heart about how many catties and taels the defensive power of this barricade can be.
"Regiment, regimental commander, our task is not ......"
The mercenary who had been slapped by John also ran to the side of the street with his face covered, and said to John with some hesitation.
"Smack!" John slapped it again, "Our task is to maintain law and order, so that these residents can stay at home obediently, this mecha clearly belongs to the Cheng family's private army sequence, seeing that the military emblem is not, it hinders the chief inside, your life is not enough to compensate!" ”
After saying that, John immediately pulled out a smile again, and said to the mecha again and again: "I'm really sorry for delaying the time of the chief, I'll ask someone to drag these barricades away-"
"No need." Qi Lin's voice came from the loudspeaker, and the No. 3 Angel flew up directly, kicking a huge gap in the middle of the barricade.
Then, he manipulated the mecha and stepped through the gap.
And in this process, the guy who looked like the leader of the mercenaries stood straight on the side of the street, maintaining a very non-standard military salute, as for the other mercenaries, although they were a little dazed at first, but after taking a few kicks, they also followed suit, stood in a row, and saluted the mecha piloted by Qi Lin.
Qi Lin didn't attack them either, he ran straight in front of them and continued towards the Cheng family's main house.
"These people...... It's so cowardly......" Ayakui naturally saw the actions of these mercenaries through the display screen inside the cockpit, and a trace of disdain appeared on her little face.
"This is not called cowardice, this is the wisdom of survival, anyway, the relationship between them and the Cheng family is just money, and they can't take their lives on the line, to be honest, I think that mercenary leader is quite interesting. It's best for them to get out of the way, and I'll be able to save some ammo for a later battle. ”
