Book 2: Opening Chapter 91 True. Team
"It feels so troublesome, Xiaoxi, get some motivation." Luo Xia looked at the dozens of mine caves densely packed on the map, and his head was big for a while.
Don't look at the small number, but it is distributed within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and just running back and forth can kill him. What's more, the scale of the map in my hand is seriously out of balance, and I don't know how many unjust roads I will have to take when the time comes.
"Ding! Received a C-class mission to explore unknown mines and find the truth that has been covered. This incident may be a follow-up to the Chaos East Sector incident, and there is a certain chance of contact with mysterious underground hostile forces, and the degree of danger cannot be judged, so please form a team and act cautiously. Xiao Xi pretended to be a cold electronic prompt and swiped a message.
Luo Xia nodded with satisfaction, although it was self-congratulatory, but this was a sense of ceremony, and he instantly felt full of motivation.
"Who are you looking for? Do you want to let the management office assign it randomly? How to break it in case of a difficult one..."Luo Xia is a little numb, as a newcomer who often skips work and is sent abroad, he doesn't know anyone at all, and if he wants to form a team, he has no way to start.
But after being systematized with a full sense of ritual, Luo Xia is still full of fighting spirit. "Random is random, it's a big deal."
Just thinking about it, a smiling honest man came up to him.
Yo, isn't this the middle-aged brother who has been mixed up for 20 years and is still playing at the grassroots level?
Luo Xia's eyes lit up, and he instantly discovered the organization, and went up to stop the old brother who was moving the box: "Brother, it's a coincidence, we met again, hahaha." β
The middle-aged man was puzzled for a while, after all, Luo Xia was wearing a mask at the beginning, and then immediately reacted, put down the box in his hand and chatted with him enthusiastically.
The middle-aged man's real name is Chen Shi, codenamed Uncle Chen (Khan), he has been in the MI for 20 years, and he was originally a member of the MI2 infiltration team, but he has been a servant in the mansion of a big man in a neighboring country for more than ten years in order to obtain intelligence. The tragedy is that when that big man falls, he has not achieved anything.
In the end, due to his high loyalty attributes, he was transferred to the newly formed three places as a 'supplement'. In fact, the ugly point is that it is an auxiliary and paves the way for people.
It's not cruel, it's just a bit tragic, but compared to his peers who have grown grass in the same period, he is still enjoying a high-paying life, which is also lucky?
"You're only a level 2 agent, so you can lead the team to take on the mission?" Chen was a little surprised, his expression was a little complicated, but it was more of a simple surprise.
"Isn't that weird? Wouldn't a Level 2 agent be able to take on a C-Class mission? Luo Xia didn't understand what was so strange about this.
"Hehe, the rules are the rules, but in fact, there are so many Level 2 agents, and there are almost no who can lead the team alone. It seems that the senior management is very optimistic about you, congratulations. What the? Team, no, no, no, I still have something to do, so I won't get involved in your business. After all, Chen is an old fritter, and he quickly reacted.
For so many years, he has naturally seen a lot of this kind of thing, and it may not be a good thing.
Opportunity is a springboard for some people, and for many more, it is a proposition. So when Luo Xia made a request to form a team, Chen's head shook like a rattle.
Is this denied?
Luo Xia nodded calmly, said goodbye to the relieved middle-aged man, and continued to walk towards the office.
An hour later.
Chen is sad and indignant asked Luo Xia, "Why do you want to harm me!" β
Luo Xia scratched his ears in embarrassment and quibbled: "Random, random." β
"Do you think I'll believe it? I'm not on your random list at all. β
Luo Xia, who was exposed, simply gave up struggling: "Huh? And this kind of operation? β
Chen said helplessly: "I'm a level 3 agent, do you think you can randomly match me with a level 2?" β
"Hahaha... Are you level 3? Then why are you being bullied everywhere, don't be angry, I just see that you are about to be treated as a miscellaneous person, and I just want to take you flying, believe me, I am kind. β
Kind ghost.
I think it took him 20 years, honestly, peacefully, and relied on grinding time to get to the level 3 agent, and after a few years, he took a back seat, and then got a level 4 status to receive benefits, and he could enjoy life.
Now he is careless, and the evening is not guaranteed. I can only blame myself for owing it at the beginning, and it is not good to find anyone, I have to find the strong man of the 'newcomer' in front of me, this is retribution!
Chen decided not to entangle with this scoundrel on this issue, and if he continued to pull it off, he was afraid that he would be morally reduced to accept the other party's affection. And since the order has been given, no matter how Luo Xia pulls him into the team, he can only admit it.
He asked weakly, "What about the other team members?" Why hasn't it been yet? β
"That, it's really a random number, after all, except for those heads, I only know you."
"Thank you, this is, me! Target! Glory! Luck! β
Luo Xia listened to the angry tone and continued to pretend to be stupid: "Haha, you're welcome, everyone is good friends." "It's not that Luo Xia wants to harm the other party, but as a newcomer, if he doesn't have an experienced 'old man' to pull him, it is estimated that he won't know how to choose in case of emergencies.
He actually has a bottom line, and he doesn't really want to pull the other party to be cannon fodder.
While the two were talking, a girl wearing a standard mask walked over.
Silver hair, flat chest, high chin, and slender figure. The whole body is tightly wrapped, and even the hands are covered with light leather handguards. The person who came silently walked up to Luo Xia, staring at the two of them, and invisibly, a kind of disgust and impatience was accurately transmitted.
Although she didn't say anything.
The masked girl nodded symbolically, as if to indicate that she was the last member of the team.
Luo Xia's eyes were hot for a while, oh not familiar.
This figure is too familiar, isn't it the aristocratic girl of Shiwangbao, the owner of his short career as a dog? Oh yes, if I'm not mistaken, they were still classmates who entered the school at the same time?
Luo Xia was happy in his heart, he knew too well the arrogant girl in front of him, but in fact he was very sensitive. Heteropillow. But this obviously can't be said nonsense, but as long as there are signs of it, with the character of the person in front of him, Luo Xia estimates that he will die on the spot.
It's not that he has any ideas, Luo Xia's actual age is far older than his physical age, and his psychology has changed from distorted to sound and now free himself, and the silver-haired girl Ellie is more like a familiar and slightly naΓ―ve little girl to him. It's far inferior to the girl in green who doesn't know the name he met in the Chaotic East District, which he will never forget.
As for why Ellie ended up in MIA, it's also easy to understand. Shiwangbao is a border fortress, and the magnates in it are naturally from the military with a high probability. Ellie, as the heir of a military family, plus the Seven Martial Arts Academy itself is semi-militarized. It is normal to come to brush up on performance and familiarize yourself with the system during your studies.
However, looking at the other party's arrogant little gesture, Luo Xia began to do it again: "Classmate? What level are you? β
Schoolmate? Ellie glanced at him suspiciously, then tilted her head to the sky and didn't bother to reply.
If it were someone else, he might be angry, but Luo Xia knew such a tsundere attribute too well, but he had the pleasure of hiding from his acquaintances to play a prank.
Yo, your flat chest doesn't affect your vision at all, and it's humiliating to look up.
He pretended to say in a deep voice: "What about me, I'm the captain of the team, what about you now?" And how to call it, I can't call you to feed, or I'll call you Ping... Ahem, silver hair? β
Seeing that the other party pulled out a short sword with a brush, Luo Xia wisely chose to shut up.
Ellie took a few steps with her sword in her hand, and muttered, "... Level 1! Codename, Thorns! And besides the mission, don't mess with me!"
Luo Xia knew that it should be enough, so he took out the map with Chen is lively gaze and discussed the route with the two. But in fact, the whole process was completely Chen making a briefing, and Luo Xia was only responsible for the final planning plan, intending to take less unjust roads.
Ellie is in charge of being slim and observing the sky.
The task is very general, as if it is hiding something, and it seems like looking for something. Investigating the abandoned mine, the two of them made a preliminary analysis, which should be related to the previous underground man incident.
They can only hope that they will not be so lucky that they will really bump into the people underground.
But even without underground people, investigating abandoned mine pits is not an easy task.
This world full of magical energy is full of powerful or weird creatures and races, most of which are twisted xenomorphs that have failed to evolve, such as the Jackal people who were used as cannon fodder by Inhumans on the battlefield before, which can be used and can be easily communicated. More mutant groups are chaotic and tyrannical, such as the hyena group, which is similar to the jackals, which are equally numerous and ferocious in nature, making them the most disgusting in the wilderness.
In addition, when humans and other mainstream races dig mines, they will also use a large number of mutant group members, such as rat people or something, which are simply inexpensive, much easier to use than slaves or something, except for occasional riots or something.
Even if the pit is abandoned, it is a good place for these mutant groups who don't have much intelligence.
So, the investigation, especially if you also need to enter the pit, is very much a battle with these wild species.
"Then, let's go our separate ways, I'm in charge of the 15 pits in the middle line, Uncle Chen, 9 of the ones you walked on, Ai... Thorns you go down the road 8 times. Remember, observe and record from a distance, and analyze it uniformly after collection. I believe that if there is an anomaly in any of the pits, there will definitely be a special one, and we will act together when the time comes. β
The two team members nodded, although the captain usually behaved a little jumpy, but at the critical moment, he seemed to have a clear mind and could come up with such a 'lazy' and effective way. At least, there is no need to venture deep into the pits one by one, which is much easier for the two of them, and they no longer oppose Luo Xia's proposed division of troops.
The duration of this mission was one month, and it was necessary to investigate 32 abandoned mine pits, which was originally a tight schedule. But after Luo Xia's analysis and arrangement, the three of them can complete most of the tasks as long as they make observations and records in the early stage. As for the final result of this 'lazy' way, the other two don't care at all, anyway, the captain is responsible.
Soon, the three of them discussed the details again, and then went to the logistics office to use the authority quota of the C-level mission to receive a batch of equipment, and then started their separate operations.
As the trio left MI3, the Night Stalker appeared on a high platform in a building behind him: "How's it going?" This kid is okay. β
Iron stubbornness slowly walked out of the shadows, the expression on his face was not as casual and gentle as before, solemn and ruthless was his true nature: "It's a bit prescient to know that pulling an old fritter is a bit prescient." He was also very bold and dared to modify the action plan at will... However, what I am most concerned about is his strength and secrets... An ordinary person can not only survive on that kind of battlefield, but also defeat an elite high-level killer who has been injected with black blood..."
"Maybe it's just talent... There is no shortage of talented people who can skip the level of battle without colonization. The night owl didn't know for what purpose, so he distinguished Luo Xia.
Tie was stubborn, glanced at the vanishing backs of the three of them, squinting and not knowing what they were thinking.
