Chapter 135: The Source of the Catastrophe
In the end, Qin Feng circled a total of six tasks, all of which were of medium to high difficulty.
Task 1: Hunt an adult Sigso double-headed rock python and hand over the eyeballs, poison sacs and snake gall to the union for a reward of 800 yuan.
Task 2: Kill the four gray storm apes and bring their complete brain marrow back to the union for 1,500 yuan.
Mission 3: Clear out two homeless mob settlements more than 30 kilometers away from the base, and the reward is 2,400 yuan.
Task 4: ......
These tasks are not simple, for example, the Sigso Double-Headed Rock Python is a third-level mutant beast, fierce and powerful by nature, an extremely terrifying predator in the wilderness, and a difficult level of resistance is still higher than that of social mutant wolf beasts.
The remaining several mutant beasts are also more ferocious than the other, and together with the two wandering mob settlements, they are all unstable factors around the base, posing a great threat to the natives entering and leaving the base and the caravans. It's the union that issues such a task, and delegates it to mercenaries or freelancers.
"Based on what we have learned so far, the City Lord's Mansion should have enough force to solve these troubles, right? Why leave it to outsiders? ”
Qin Feng thought about it, and then he understood. It's one thing to have enough force, but it's impossible to leave everything to the City Lord's Mansion to take care of, and you always have to leave some errands for the mercenaries outside. By the way, it is more in line with the long-term interests of the base to consume their manpower and strength.
In this chaotic era, there are as many armed groups and individuals as weeds in the wilderness, and there will be more and more in the future, and it is not uncommon for overly powerful mercenary groups to take a base and wipe out the original leadership.
In the eyes of the leaders of the bases, large and small, these armed forces that are not under their control are potential threats, but certain things cannot be separated from them, so many bases generally adopt a strategy of both using and preventing suppression, so as not to threaten their own dominance.
"Thanks, I don't have any more problems."
Qin Feng, who had completed the formalities, thought about it, took out a small bag of candy and handed it to the receptionist: "This is a tip for you, and I will leave it to you in terms of tasks in the future." ”
"Okay."
The receptionist's eyes lit up again, and he excitedly agreed.
It wasn't until Qin Feng's figure left the hall and disappeared into the hazy night that she looked down at the tip in her hand.
The transparent bag was small and didn't have any text on it, but it was delicate and contained six gummies, which made the girl very happy.
Candy is a rare luxury, as tight as cigarettes, and look at this packaging to know that it is not an ordinary goods, and you may be able to exchange it for half a month's salary when you take it outside.
The girls next to him all cast envious and jealous looks, in fact, just such a bag of candy is enough to be worth them to spend the night with him, such a generous, young and handsome customer is rare.
“…… Show me! ”
The receptionist was happy, and a slightly stern voice sounded suddenly.
She looked up in amazement and found a beautiful woman in a black uniform with a beautiful face who had walked out of the room at some point, with apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, plump buttocks and a thin waist, and a faint majesty in her demeanor.
"President, why are you here?"
The receptionist asked in surprise, and his hand obediently reached over and handed the bag of candy to the other party, and everyone in the hall stood up in respect.
This beauty is the president of the mercenary union, and has a close relationship with the city lord, and is considered the real leader of the base, so no one here dares to slack off.
The president took the candy and looked at it, and then took the mission record to inspect it, and asked some questions casually, but the receptionist did not dare to hide it, and answered in a proper manner.
"It's a little interesting, such a powerful evolutionary came out alone? It's rare in the past two years. She said to herself.
"President, is there something wrong with this person?" The receptionist said nervously.
"Maybe, but no matter how strong he is, he's just a person, so don't worry too much."
The president smiled indifferently, groaned for a while, and threw the candy back to the receptionist. With her identity, she can't afford to see this little benefit.
"Wait for him and see if he can surprise us more,"
The beauty president said indifferently: "If he is really that capable, maybe I should consider introducing him to the city lord." ”
……
Qin Feng still returned to the hotel, and this time he had cash to pay the bill.
"Sir, if you need anything, you can call us directly."
The front desk lady handed him the room card and winked ambiguously, full of implication. The patrons who can afford to live in a premium suite for a few days in a row are already worthy of putting down their bodies to please and please.
Back in the room, it wasn't long before there was a knock on the door.
He went over to open the door and found that Xiaoyi, whom he had seen last time, was standing at the door, dressed in a sexier translucent sailor suit, holding several paper books in his hand.
"Sir, what you want." She said softly.
These materials were collected by Qin Feng with her help, information about inside and outside the base, and more importantly, about the various situations in this world, resource production, power system, and scientific and technological level...... There is also the rise and fall of the main forces on the continent after the catastrophe of civilization, and so on.
Qin Feng took it and flipped through it, and was quite satisfied with the contents inside, so he took out a crystal and stuffed it into her snow-white chest, and said with a smile: "Thank you, this is your reward." ”
"So what's next......"
Xiaoyi blinked her big eyes and looked at him eagerly.
"I'll look for you again when something happens."
Qin Feng had no intention of leaving her at all, ignoring her resentful eyes, and gently but resolutely sent her out of the door.
Returning to the table and sitting down, he began to look through the old and new documents.
Although the Mastiff Dragon base is large, there are no facilities such as a library. The old era has been completely buried in the depths of the ruins, and the traditional civilization inheritance was once almost extinct, and it took many years to gradually recover some vitality.
Therefore, these materials are especially precious, and they can't be found in ordinary places, and it obviously took some effort for Xiaoyi to get them for him.
“…… I see? Isn't it because of nuclear war? ”
Qin Feng raised his head, he originally thought that it was a full-scale nuclear war between the major powers that led to the catastrophe of the end times, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The source of the catastrophe came from a strange meteorite that unexpectedly approached the Earth in 2076, and when its orbital data was calculated and it was determined that it would collide with the Earth in a few months, the major powers on the Earth immediately carried out a full mobilization, mobilizing almost all thermonuclear weapons to carry out a directional explosion on it, trying to smash it.
Unfortunately, the self-rescue action of human civilization basically failed, and finally the meteorite equivalent to the size of Binhai City exploded when it broke into the atmosphere, disintegrating into countless fragments of different sizes, falling all over the seven continents and four oceans on the earth, thus triggering a series of meteorological disasters on a global scale.
Thick clouds of super earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and strong radiation cover all year round...... The entire planet's ecosystem has been devastated. In addition to the residual radiation from tens of thousands of nuclear bomb explosions, the material in that meteorite also carries radiation itself, so the destructive effect is far greater than expected.
It wasn't until fifteen years later that the climate and environment on the continents gradually began to stabilize, but at this time, except for a small number of surviving humans in underground bunkers, there was basically no place for civilization on the entire surface, only the ruins of cities, showing the prosperity of civilization in the old era.
If we continue to count in the A.D. era, we are now 60 years after the Shoah.
