Chapter 36 The Strange Caravan I

After Li Gang finished registering the hunters, he went to the arms market organized by the hunters under the leadership of Gao Lei.

The Hunters' Organization is the only legal institution capable of buying and selling weapons. From this we can also see its relationship with the state. Of course, the black market still exists, but it is not legal.

After taking a turn in the arms market organized by the hunters, Li just realized how poor he was.

Those weapons made of ordinary steel can only be regarded as crafts at best, and even the defenses of some low-level mutant creatures cannot be broken, let alone mentioned.

The weapons that are really useful to mutated creatures are all hardened agents or hardeners, or high-tech weapons, each of which is expensive to death. The cheapest dagger with hardener costs 600,000, and Li Gang only has a total of more than 300,000 points, and now he understands that Gao Lei said that his big hammer of more than 8 million is not bragging.

"Is inflation so bad right now? 300,000 can only buy a dagger? Walking through the underpass lined with weapons shops, Li Gang complained.

"The main reason is that hardened substances are expensive, and now the extraction technology is only in the hands of a few large companies and the state, which is basically a monopoly, and it is no wonder that it is not expensive." Gao Lei explained.

In the end, Li Gang didn't buy any decent weapons, but spent a few thousand dragon coins to buy two stainless steel daggers without hardened substances, and seventeen alloy throwing knives, although these things are not hardened, they can still play a good role if they are used well, especially against guys like brain-dead men.

Originally, there were eighteen of these throwing knives, but one of them was bitten off by a curious tofu flower...

It can be seen that this weapon without hardening substances is really useless against powerful mutant beasts.

After coming out of the weapons market organized by the hunters, Li Gang went back to pack his luggage and went to the agreed place of the caravan with Gao Lei.

The caravan is scheduled to depart at 11 a.m., the departure point is the south gate of New T City, the hunters who accept the caravan escort mission need to arrive before departure, if the deadline is overdue, the employment relationship will be automatically terminated and the mercenary will notify the hunter organization, which will be counted in the credit rating of the corresponding hunter. The Hunter's Reputation Rating also affects the Hunter's promotion and serves as a reference for the Hire. In general, escorting, protecting, escorting, assisting this type of task employer will pay more attention to the reputation of the hunter. Tasks such as collecting materials, cleaning up mutant creatures, and exploring information are not required, and the publisher only needs to hand over the tasks and commissions to the organization and wait for the results.

As Gao Lei came to the south city gate, he saw a group of people and a convoy gathered at the city gate. When I saw the convoy, Li Gang thought he was dazzled, this is indeed a convoy, not an ox cart, but a real fuel car.

The convoy consisted of five large trucks, two jeeps. All five trucks were full, and it was impossible to tell what they were when they were wrapped in canvas. Of course, whatever it was and it didn't matter to these hunters, they just needed to make sure that the caravan arrived safely in Mingquan City and complete the mission.

And the hunters who participated in this escort were not only Gao Lei and his group of hunters, there were dozens of people around the convoy alone, and it was initially estimated that there were about forty people, some of whom should be the caravan's own people.

"Boss, this way!"

Gao Lei and Li just walked out of the door, and Gao Lei's team members waved like him. Li Gang also walked over with Gao Lei.

Gao Lei looked around at the many hunters around him, frowned slightly and asked his team members, "These are the hunters hired by the caravan?" ”

"Yes, Boss, in addition to our team, there is also a team of hunters called 'Thick Earth', there are 12 of them, and the captain seems to be a high-level evolutionary. The rest were scattered hunters, a dozen of them, and the rest were caravan men. ”

"Generally speaking, just an escort mission, a team of hunters with high-level evolutionaries is enough, how can this caravan still find so many people?" Gao Lei wondered.

"Maybe their boss is a coward, or maybe he has money to spend, you care about him so much, how good is paddling." Li Gang didn't care.

"You really want to open it, I think his caravan is weird."

"You think too much, I said that this kind of intelligent role is not suitable for you, and you are more promising as a hot-blooded youth." Li Gang raised his hand and patted Gao Lei's shoulder.

"Can I understand that you are humiliating me?"

"You said it yourself."

“......”

Although Gao Lei thought it was a little strange for this caravan to hire so many hunters as guards, he didn't think too much about it, because it was very likely that such a larger caravan would carry something valuable, and it was reasonable to find more guards to protect it. Moreover, the hunters are not in a group, and they also have the effect of deterring each other, which can greatly reduce the probability of the guards intending to attack the caravan and steal themselves. This kind of thing has not happened before.

Li Gang easily joined the ranks of guards under Gao Lei's recommendation, but since he was not a task in the hunters' organization, it was a private job, so even if he completed it, he would not have any contribution value. The reason why I didn't pick it up in the hunter organization was because this escort mission was a D-level mission, and Li Gang, who had just registered, was only G-level and was not qualified to take it at all.

The so-called private work is to bypass the hunter organization and directly reach an employment agreement with the employer, so that there is naturally no level limit, and the intermediate fee handed over to the hunter organization is also saved, and the contribution value for completing the task is also not obtained to improve the level of oneself, and can only get the commission negotiated with the employer.

And employers who hire hunters directly without the tasks issued by the hunter organization are like finding a nanny without housekeeping, which is cheap but not guaranteed.

The lack of protection applies not only to employers, but also to hunters who work for private purposes. For example, the employer deliberately defaults or withholds commissions, and the promised reward conditions are not met. You must know that employers who dare to do this are not good at stubble, even if you are a hunter of high-level evolutionaries.

And no matter which side of the private work suffers, the hunters' organization will not be responsible for it, and can only consider itself unlucky.

The boss of the caravan hired Li Gang, a G-level hunter, in the face of the high-level evolutionary Gao Lei, but the commission was only given to the lowest, because he had already hired enough guards through the hunter organization, and they were all hunters above the D level, and the evolution level was also intermediate or above, so he didn't want to fill in an additional commission, or give it to a G-level hunter. It's just that Gao Lei said that this is his friend, and this boss has the right to sell this high-level evolutionary to bring one more person with one face.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the caravan departed on time, five large trucks divided into two in front and three in the back, and in the middle of the trucks were two off-road vehicles. In front of the two SUVs sat the caravan owner and his seemingly bodyguard-looking guys, and I don't know who was in the second car, because the glass of both cars was pasted with blackout paper, and the second car had never opened the door, so I couldn't see who was inside.

Dozens of hunter guards were sitting on the roof of the big truck, and Gao Lei and his team sat on the roof of the rear one with Li Gang.

Tofu Hua, who was riding in the car for the first time, was very excited, running around on the roof of the car, like a dirt bun that had never seen the world.

On the roof of the car at the very head sat half of the Thick Earth Hunter squad, and their captain Thick Earth was also on it.

"Boss Houtu, I heard about the hunter team at the back of the car, it's called the Fudo Hunting Team, and the big guy is their captain called Fudo Mountain, and he is a high-level strength-type evolutionary."

"Nonsense, of course I know he's a power-type high-level evolutionary, and you still need to say it? What about the ranks and evolution types of the other team members? ”

"This time is too short, and I haven't found ..... yet"

"Waste, I can't even do such a thing, get out of here!"

The scolded team member immediately retreated to the corner of the roof of the car, not daring to make a sound.

"Captain, don't be angry, there are only a few people in that team What is there to worry about, except for that high-level evolutionary who is a bit difficult, I don't think the others are much stronger, as long as the black demon can deal with it alone, I am worried about the guy who just joined." Sitting beside Houtu, a white man with gold-rimmed glasses and a scholarly aura said gently, while he looked at Li Gang, who was trying to quiet down with excited tofu flowers on the roof of the last car.

"I've inquired, that person is a G-class hunter, codenamed Second Knife, and he seems to be an animal trainer."

Houtu glanced at the eye-eyed man beside him, then at Li Gang, and said, "Literati, don't sell Guanzi, what if you are a beast tamer?" ”

Houtu's attitude towards this glasses man is obviously much better.

"Hehe..."The man with glasses called 'literati' lifted his glasses, he was used to this simple-minded captain, and said with a smile: "The problem is that he is an animal trainer, haven't you noticed it, captain?" Isn't it strange that he, as an animal trainer, doesn't have any beasts on his side except for a little girl? ”

"yes, where is his acolyte?" Houtu was surprised.

The literati shook his head, no longer had much hope for the captain's IQ, and said slowly: "I have observed that that Fudo Mountain has a very good attitude towards him. There are two possibilities, one is that they are very good friends, and the other is that he has the same strength as Fudoyama, so he has the respect of Fudoyama as a high-level evolutionary. Judging from the fact that the other members of the hunting party kept their distance from him, consciously or unconsciously, I deduced that it was the latter. ”

"You still haven't said where his acolyte is."

The literati felt a sense of powerlessness and said, "Did you see that little girl?" If you're not mistaken, she's the two-knife beast! ”

"Are you kidding? Is that a child of the living dead? Even if it is, what's the use of that little bit? ”

"Captain, have you forgotten? Isn't the first mutated creature on the "Illustrated Book" that has been making a lot of noise recently, inhuman illusions also disguised as human children? ”

Houtu looked at the little girl who was pressing Li Gang's hand, and his eyes suddenly widened and exclaimed, "It's an illusion?" Now it's a problem! ”

"Don't be nervous, I didn't say it's an illusion, as far as I know, the illusion also has a high resistance to spiritual attacks, plus it is inhuman, with extremely high intelligence, if you want to accept the illusion as a beast, I am afraid that the most powerful beast tamer may not be able to do it."

Hearing the words of the literati, Houtu was a little relieved, thought about it and said, "But I heard that there is a beast tamer with illusions who entered the city yesterday, could it be him?" ”

"Illusions aren't the only mutated creatures that can disguise themselves as humans, or maybe they're really the living dead who are only subdued. No matter what it was, since he could be respected by high-level evolutionaries, it meant that his strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Yes, the combat power of two high-level evolutionaries is really difficult." Thick soil worries about the road.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." The literati said again.

"What do you mean by that?"

"He's a beast trainer, the beast trainer is a powerful beast, but it's not very strong, as long as he attacks himself, the result can be imagined!" The literati lifted his glasses, and the reflection of the lenses made it impossible to see his expression hidden behind the lenses.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this, you are so smart, haha, we will definitely succeed this time!"

"Captain, keep your voice down and be careful to be heard." The literati reminded of the thick soil that got carried away.

"Rest assured, who knows what we're talking about."

"There is no big mistake in being careful, and it is not too late to be happy when things are done, and we cannot afford to be wrong this time."

"Understood, I'll pay attention." The hot-tempered captain unexpectedly accepted the advice.
