Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 16
"Tomorrow morning, the Al Qaeda Council wants to talk to you." Tony said as he mixed the gunpowder, "They should have some assignments for you." You know, there's not many opportunities for a small base like ours to encounter third-order mercenaries. The chairman of the committee, Anthony Sr., was also a former fighter with a third-order firearms mastery, but retired and became chairman of the committee after losing an arm and half a leg in the fight against the mob ten years ago. He is very kind, and understands what a third-order warrior is, so he will give the right task and the right reward. I suggest you think about it. ”
"Thank you." Sue's reply was simple, but very sincere.
Tony grinned, his snow-white teeth eye-catching, "You saved Turner, that's my friend." Tony never treats his friends badly. Although ......"
Tony shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Although in this era, the word friend has almost been forgotten. ”
Another box of 5.56 high-explosive shells was chosen, and Su left the military zone.
"Hey! If you're looking for some fun, head to Red X, where there are a few hot chicks! Tony shouted at Sue, who hadn't left the house yet.
Alcohol, psychedelics, and women, in Sue's cognition, have always been synonymous with trouble. He didn't like trouble, not at all, so he ignored Tony's rather meaningful advice and went back to his room to rest.
Carefully locking the door, Su conveniently arranged a small inconspicuous mechanism on the door, which looked like it was just a twisted wire worn in the keyhole. Turner is quite comfortable at this base, in fact, he is also a member of the Committee of Seven, and Sue saved his life and the whole team, so it stands to reason that Sue should be fairly safe here. However, there are no absolutes in the world, and Sunning should be careful.
After everything was arranged, Su lay on his back on the bed, his blue eyes closed, his breathing gradually slowed down, and his body temperature slowly decreased, and he entered a strange sleep state. The huge modified pistol rested on his lap, while his left hand rested lightly over the gun.
For Sue, it's a world when she's awake and another world when she's sleeping. The world of night is sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy, full of strange fragments, but when you wake up, most of these fragments will disappear from memory.
In a completely new environment, Sue generally sleeps very lightly, which means that he will have a quiet and dreamless sleep that will allow him to react to any slight abnormal movements. The N11 base was of course a new environment, so Sue slept carefully.
However, today was not a dreamless night, and Sue once again fell into that irresistible dream world.
It is a turquoise world, and everything in sight ripples in the water waves, and it seems that the whole world is soaked in green water. Through the light waves, there are countless distorted faces, human beings, and even more non-human faces. The faces appeared in front of him one by one, his lips opening and closing, and the sonic conflict echoed, as if he couldn't stop saying something, but unfortunately he couldn't hear a word no matter how hard he tried. Every time a face appeared, it would bring him a completely different feeling, itching and soreness, most of the time, it was the pain that was everywhere and made him want to tear himself apart!
Most of these faces have only appeared once, only a few have appeared twice, and only two have recurred. Either face, however, is indistinct and completely unrecognizable. So Su never understood how he knew which face had ever appeared.
Such dreams are repeated over and over again, and they disappear from memory as soon as they wake up, so Sue never knows what she dreamed about.
This dream was just halfway through when it was interrupted by an accident.
Su's consciousness immediately sent out a signal, and dozens of data were instantly transmitted to all parts of his body, so his body suddenly moved strangely sideways by thirty centimeters, and then suddenly sat up, while holding the pistol in his left hand, and sent it forward like lightning, hitting the chin of the uninvited guest.
This series of movements was so fast that Sue's eyes didn't really open until the pistol was aimed at the target. In the darkness, his pupils shimmered with a faint blue light, a true light and a sign of shimmering vision.
"Who are you?" Su shouted in a low voice. Deliberately lowered, his soft voice added a faint magnetism, but the rugged pistol, which was nearly fifty centimeters long, was completely contrary to the gentle watery voice.
The huge body, the extra-long barrel, and the palpitating muzzle of the gun leave no doubt that at this distance, this pistol can shatter the head of the most majestic ironclad bear. This is not a pistol that an ordinary person can use, the huge recoil is completely comparable to that of an old automatic rifle, and if you operate it with one hand, even if there is no fracture or bone fracture in the wrist after the first shot, the recoil will displace the hand, thus increasing the difficulty and time of aiming the second shot.
However, the pistol was already pressed against the intruder's chin, so there was no problem with aiming, and even if Sue's wrist was really broken after a single shot, it was after the intruder's head was blown to pieces.
The head under the muzzle looks quite delicate and thin, not to mention that this extremely crude pistol, even the weakest ordinary pistol, can easily shoot through it. However, very few people pull the trigger easily, especially after seeing the intruder's face, almost all men do not pull the trigger immediately.
This is a very beautiful girl, and she may not be even twenty years old just by looking at her appearance. Due to the harsh environment of the new era, women are often much younger than they seem, so they may only be eighteen years old or younger.
She has short chestnut hair and wheat-colored skin, sexy lips painted a weird purple-gray, and a pair of beautiful big eyes are looking at Sue, there is panic in them, but also a little excitement and anticipation. She wore a short leather jacket with a low neckline and a short enough hem to show off her bulging breasts and waist. There seemed to be nothing else under the leather coat. The lower half of her body is a pair of jeans, clinging to her straight hips and slender legs, as if they are a second skin.
The girl has a proud face and figure, and is full of vitality and excess energy, which can be seen from the strong smell of alcohol that she can't help but exude. She had apparently drunk so much alcohol that the burning nerves in her body had begun to focus too much on stimuli and excitement, and not enough on fear.
Even though she had a pistol on her chin that could blast her head into the air at any moment, her eyes, which had been slightly out of focus due to the effects of alcohol, were only focused on Sue's charming left eye and the hand holding the gun. His hands were not bandaged this time, and both the lines and the skin were completely compared to the hands that the girl was very proud of.
Sue's eyes flashed with a hint of murder, he had already seen the metal wire that had fallen to the ground, this woman could break the alarm trap he had laid even in a drunken state?
The slender index finger that pulls the trigger is slightly retracted, and as soon as it is tightened by a millimeter or two, the blow is released. The girl finally noticed this detail, and her eyes immediately cleared up a lot, and she was suddenly full of fear. Sue kept this firing state and stood up with a pistol against her!
If Sue's fingers twitched even the faintest, her beautiful face would turn into a puddle of minced meat!
The pistol didn't stop until she stood on her toes with her hands fully raised. Beads of sweat began to ooze from the girl's face and neck, a sign of overtension, and she had to try to stay in the same position that a ballet dancer could make, for the slightest movement could cause the pistol to go off.
However, just then, Sue began to stroke her.
Sue's right hand first touched her hair, then behind her ear, and after gently pinching her neck, she even put her fingers into her slightly open and gasping mouth!
She suddenly wanted to bite off those two cold and slippery fingers, but she didn't dare.
Next, Sue's hand unbuttoned the only two buttons of her short leather top, so that her upper body was completely covered without any underwear? Exposed, the next thing is to caress carefully, inch by inch. The pair that is not big, but it is very upright, has naturally been taken care of, and the tip of the nipple has been pinched several times.
Sue's right hand was also unbandaged, and the cold, silky touch from the fingertips resembled both a sinuous snake and the tip of a lover's lingering tongue.
Then there is the lower body. Without any qualms, Sue unbuttoned her jeans, rudely pulled them under her knees, and began her search. Sue was a little surprised to feel his wet hands, but this did not affect his search in the slightest. In this era of mutation and instability, any bulge or recess on a woman's body may hide deadly weapons or biochemical organs. In her days wandering alone in the wilderness, Sue had seen too many similar precedents.
"Oh!" The girl frowned, and after squeezing two hoarse and painful cries out of her throat, the search finally came to an end.
Sue took a step back and put away her pistol. She wasn't armed, and she didn't look like she was drunk, and she didn't seem to have much malice.
"Who are you and what are you here for?" Sue asked in a low voice.
With a fire burning in her eyes, she said, "My name is Liki." I heard you're new and cool, so come and check it out! Oh, by the way, I'm a locksmith. ”
Sue knew that such things were common. In this era of violence, women are absolutely weak and have a very low status due to the innate difference in body and strength. Many women have to rely on their bodies in exchange for food and water to survive. And something like the residency of the N11 base comes at a great cost. However, with her youth and beauty, she can still be exchanged, but if she wants to live better, it is far from enough, she must have strong skills and be able to make substantial contributions to the base.
As a mercenary and hunter, Sue is no stranger to money, violence, women, and trading, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly good time at the moment, as some of them don't fit his principles.
"I have no money." Su now has less than 5 yuan on him, and the rest has long been turned into bullets and accommodation expenses. The girl is clearly much more than that.
The flames in the girl's eyes burned even more violently, and she suddenly pounced like a female leopard, and the momentum was so strong that she pressed Su directly to the bed. She gasped heavily, while tearing the bandages on Su's body hard, and a voice mixed with moaning and roaring came out of her mouth: "No money this time!" You just searched so hateful, hurry up and give it to me, now! ”
The action of going straight to the point had an immediate effect, and she felt that the hot, hard, and huge thing was almost submerged in her body, but she had to stand up and leave the position that could immediately extinguish the ** in her body.
The pistol was pressed to her chin again, pushing her up.
"I'm going to have a mission tomorrow, and I have to save my body." The last moment Su was like a fire, but now it is completely a block of ice.
The girl was almost driven crazy by the change from hot to cold, but was forced to leave by the pistol. Almost completely, she hugged her clothes and watched as the heavy metal door slammed shut and locked in front of her.
Sue sat straight on the edge of the bed, her pistol resting horizontally on her lap. Hear the gnashing, hysterical threat coming from outside the door: "Sue! Sooner or later, I'm going to ** you! He just smiled indifferently.
There was no doubt that the girl named Liggie was a first-class woman, and although her skin was somewhat rough from showering in radioactive water, she was unusually clean, and had an astonishing elasticity and flexibility. There is no doubt that such a woman must have great stimulation and pleasure in bed. However, for Su, at the moment when he was about to enter, he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be a power in her body that made him extremely repulsive, which instantly made Su ** completely lost. Although he didn't know what it was, or whether this power really existed, Su had always trusted his instincts.
Because his intuition never deceived him, and his luck was always above the level.
This time, Su no longer believed in the door lock and the mechanism he had laid out, and sat quietly until dawn facing the door.
The decision-making body at N11 is the Committee of Seven, chaired by Anthony, and Turner is responsible for the 20-man troop and police. Members also include Tony, the Chief Medical Officer and the Director of Research, among others. The scale of the base is not large, but it is very functional, which requires that there are no idlers among the residents of the base. This has led to a relatively brutal system of residency, in which residents must prove themselves useful, or have enough financial resources to buy residency rights, in order to stay. Only those who have contributed enough to the base, say seven committee members, are eligible to retire from the base.
Due to security and a certain degree of stability, there is even a partial retention of the marriage system in the base. There is no monogamous restriction on marriage, as long as the man can afford to support the woman and the marriage tax. The stability of the marriage is guaranteed by the committee. In a way, this guarantee is weak, but within the base, it is an unshakable authority. Turner, along with twenty soldiers and policemen, was the cornerstone of this authority.
Surprisingly, the water here is at least half as cheap as outside. The base is even extravagant enough to bathe with treated water, but of course, if you can afford it. This makes drinking water an important exchange material for the N11 base. Food, medicine, weapons, ammunition and other supplies were all exchanged for water. This means that the base must have a hidden and abundant source of water, and there is some kind of efficient device for treating water inside, so that it can not only be enough for internal use, but also sell the surplus.
Mastering water, although not the same as mastering everything, is not far off. Within a radius of about 100 kilometers, the N11 base is undoubtedly the richest and most powerful, with fifteen first-order genetically enhanced warriors, a small but complete logistics base, standard army equipment, and a laboratory capable of making genetic improvement potions, which make the base a cheetah armed to the teeth. And the robbers and mobs in the surrounding area, no matter how many they are, are not even rotting wolves compared to the base, at most they are just a pack of biting rabbits.
During his mission, Turner was ambushed by an armed mob of more than 50 men, and after a squad of 10 fighters occupied a hill on the spot, the battle erupted between automatic rifles and vintage pistols, rifles, and micro-charges. The armed mob also had grenades, but no one could brave the rain of bullets from the First Order warriors to get within a hundred meters. The final casualty result of the battle was 0 to thirty-five. Since then, no mob has dared to attack the N11 base.
In the base's central conference room, Sue sat alone in an iron chair. In front of him was a semicircular aluminum conference table, behind which seven members were seated. This pattern is very similar to the interrogation of the old days, not in the courtroom, but in the police station. Luckily, Turner and Tony were there, so the atmosphere in the conference room was relaxed.
The seven members began to inquire about Sue's abilities according to the internal rules, and during the almost casual questioning, all the members, including Turner, looked at the elongated modified rifle placed at Sue's feet from time to time. They didn't need to be as proficient in firearms as Tony, they could see that the gun was actually quite old-fashioned and primitive, and perhaps the only advantage was that it was stable, reliable, easy to maintain, and cheap parts. But compared to precision firearms of the last period of the old era, such as the M3A, it is more than a matter of a grade.
The rifle was a fascinating modification, and even if it was fired with heavy machine gun rounds or special ammunition, it was a staggering thing to be able to reach a range of 1,500 meters, and it brought a series of problems, such as insufficient accuracy and excessive recoil. Of interest is also the rifle's scope, which is rudimentary and only suitable for medium-range automatic rifles, and is completely unsuitable for the accuracy required for sniper rifles.
Of course, the price of more advanced sights is naturally expensive, and even much more expensive than firearms of the same class. However, this price should not be unaffordable for a third-order sniper. Being able to become a third-order means genetic evolution equivalent to seven standard evolution points, which is enough to buy three or four first-class optical sniper scopes when converted into money. However, Sue's situation seems to be a bit special, he chose to evolve himself instead of buying advanced firearms first, which is an unusual choice, you must know that from the perspective of making a living, a good sniper rifle can simply and directly increase the power of a sniper, which means more income. After all, the gun is the soldier's eater.
From this point of view, Su does not seem to have a strong economic acumen.
The questioning was still going on and was beginning to be dull, the committee didn't need to really know what Sue was capable of, the POA itself was a matter of life and death, and the employer was never responsible for the employee's life. And Su will never turn over all his cards to an organization that is only an employment relationship. It's just that the rules of the base require it. In the post-war decades of the N11 base, many forms and bureaucracy have inevitably emerged.
The third-order sniper specialization in the psionic domain and the first-order visual enhancement in the perception domain are what Su let the committee know. However, it has shaken the Committee of Seven. The reason for the vibration is nothing more than an additional first-order visual enhancement.
Sniper Mastery is a comprehensive type of enhancement that includes a series of improvements in physical strength, stamina, vision, body control, and coordination, and then specialized training to adapt the modifier to changes in the body. This kind of reinforcement is well established, and it is not uncommon to use it with first-order visual reinforcement of the perceptual system after the reinforcement has reached the third level. After all, the fourth-tier sniper mastery requires 8 or more evolution points due to its immaturity and the increasing difficulty of improvement in geometric progression. In terms of the enhancement of vision, the increase brought by the fourth-order sniper specialization is not as large as the first-order visual enhancement.
But even an evolutionary point represents at least 10,000 yuan of wealth. Compared to Su's age of less than twenty, this extra 10,000 yuan is by no means a small amount of money. This shows that Sue is very good at making money, although it seems that he is more likely to spend money. The seven members of the committee quickly converted the ten thousand yuan into the amount of alcohol, cigarettes, guns, water, and women according to their preferences, and then looked at Su with a slightly different gaze.
What was wrapped in the bandage was no longer a human body, but a wealth of nearly 100,000 yuan.
The dull questioning session is finally over, and the next step is the content of the task. Sue's spirit, which was close to sleep, immediately woke up and listened attentively to every word.
The content of the task is simple and complex.
Concerned about the safety of the base, the Committee of Seven decided to conduct a survey of the cave system outside the base's back door. In particular, it is necessary to explore the dense cobweb-like subway passages in order to find an escape route for the base in case of an emergency. The task is also divided into two parts, and if the exploration ends with the natural cave leading directly to the subway access system, the reward is only 500 yuan. If a safe passage can be cleared in the subway passage, then the reward will be a primary genetic modification agent produced by the N11 base.
After thinking about it, Su Luo understood that the danger level of the mission and the reward were still very compatible. Dozens of kilometers away from the N11 base is a huge urban ruin. It's home to all sorts of cunning and cruel mutated creatures, mutants, living corpses, bandit mobs, and organizations of unknown purpose. And like a labyrinth, the underground world with six floors up and down is even more dangerous than above.
The underground world is not suitable for snipers, and the above-ground cities with many buildings and vast areas are the paradise for snipers. Therefore, as a third-order sniper, clearing the natural cave passages is the right task for him. In the past, Su Ye was always a task of this difficulty, with the remuneration for each task ranging from 300 to 1,000 yuan.
