As the grand Continental Day draws to a close, the number of missing people in the human settlements outside the oasis is rising, and the real culprits in the wasteland have not been shown up for a long time.

The panic in the crowd also reached its peak.

"Why hasn't the Silver Hall moved yet? Shouldn't it post a bounty and some warrior steps up and kills the enemy in triumph? ”

Mia made a chopping motion in the air with a spoon and said.

"Don't dump the soup on me, thanks!"

Doll dodged the soup thrown out by Mia sideways, took out a small notebook, put a pen on it, pushed his glasses, and said, "This time the situation is different from the past. ”

"How is it different? Isn't it also a few people who are missing? Mia asked vaguely, biting her spoon.

"Didn't you notice that there are rumors of how many people are missing, but no one has ever said what is going on?" Doll threw Mia a "Are you stupid" look, "Because no one knows what it is, the unknown is the scariest thing." ”

Mia: "......"

It seems to make sense.

Kaito put down the finished soup bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said: "It is said that there seems to be a little conflict in the upper echelons of the oasis recently, so this attack, they may not have issued a mission, but took another way to solve it." ”

He has been out to set up a stall in the past few days and has heard a lot of news.

"It doesn't matter what way he does, just don't let me go." Doll gulped off the rest of the soup in the bowl and jumped off the table, "I'm full." ”

Doll has always had a high-minded attitude towards these things, and there are a bunch of high-level hunters above her who are rushing to do tasks to earn money and points.

So what Kaito said didn't stir up any waves in her heart.

And Mia ......

According to her temperament, it is good to have misfortune and schadenfreude.

After Dol and Mia left the table one after another, Kaito turned his head to look at Simxue, who had been eating silently: "...... What do you think? ”

Si Moxue stopped her movements and muttered for a moment: "Since the establishment of the oasis seventy years ago, the rules and regulations that have been used have almost never changed. Requests for help from human settlements outside the oasis have always been issued on a case-by-case basis, but never before has it dragged on for so long. Coupled with what you said, there may be big changes in the Oasis in the future, and ......"

She paused, straightened the bowl in front of her, and whispered, "Someone will die." ”

Since the establishment of the Oasis, the evolutionary humans of the main city have been the absolute leader. But in recent years, due to the increase in the number of hybrids, their ambitions have also swelled, and many hybrids have proposed to take a place among the leaders of the oasis.

In addition, the number and range of activities of desolate people and corpse beasts outside the oasis are expanding, and there is a faint trend towards the oasis.

Under the internal and external troubles, it is no wonder that some people are in chaos.

"Whatever the end result is, I just hope it doesn't affect my life now." Si Moxue put the bowls and spoons on the table together, "Oasis's movements have always been fast, and the response to this incident should come out soon, right?" ”

There is no special kitchen in the small house, and Kaito has a space in the corner of the living room for cooking. As for the dishes, they can only be washed in the bathroom.

Si Moxue didn't expect that Oasis's handling of this alien beast attack would come out so quickly and unexpectedly.

The next day, Oasis released a message to the whole Oasis through the Silver Hall:

In response to the attack of unknown beasts in the human agglomeration, Oasis will form a special investigation team to deal with it. Squad members are selected by lottery, and the results of the draw will be displayed at the end.

Attached to this article are the thirteen members of the investigation team selected by lottery.

As soon as this news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.

There were even more people who were chosen and collapsed on the streets.

"I'm just a trainee hunter, and I haven't taken on a mission before. It's forcing me to die—"

When he was lifted up, the man howled and shouted.

Among the thirteen squad members selected, there were four trainee wasteland hunters, seven junior wasteland hunters, and only one intermediate hunter and one senior hunter.

In the face of the biggest crisis encountered by human agglomerations since the establishment of the oasis, such an arrangement does seem a bit child's play. No one made special arrangements behind it, and no one believed it when they said it.

"Oh my God, Mo Xue! You've been drawn. Doll exclaimed as she looked at the list.

Si Moxue's face also turned blue when she saw the list, and her name was on the list of thirteen team members.

And she's not even a hybrid.

The team will depart tomorrow, and some of the low-level hybrids who have been selected have joined forces with their friends and relatives to protest in the Silver Hall, but they have all been driven out by the security guards in the hall.

The Silver Hall even said that since he chose to be a wasteland hunter, he would have to bear the corresponding responsibilities while enjoying a high income as a wasteland hunter. If one of the selected individuals escapes, they and their relatives will be expelled from the oasis and will not be allowed to enter for the rest of their lives.

Behind the Silver Hall stood the leader of the Oasis, and no one dared to doubt this.

Therefore, although everyone was dissatisfied, as long as they did not want to leave the oasis, they had to obey the order.

Because Si Moxue was chosen, Mia and Dore could no longer make a gesture of staying out of the matter.

In the living room, they and Kaito surrounded Si Moxue, opening their mouths to say something comforting, but they couldn't say anything.

For a moment, all that was left was the sound of the wind whirring outside the window.

However, Si Moxue had calmed down at this time, and comforted them in turn: "Isn't it just to go outside the oasis to investigate what captured those people, and it is no different from our previous mission." ”

But they all knew in their hearts that this was not the case, the silver hall had avoided so many high-level hunters who wanted to participate in the mission, and had chosen so many low-level hunters to form a ragtag army, whose intentions were unpredictable, and Si Moxue was afraid that it would be unpredictable.

"By the way, how much money do we have now?" After dinner, Smoxue pulled over to Dol and asked in a low voice.

"And ...... There are more than 1000. Doll replied.

Si Moxue responded, staring at the ground, and said as if she didn't care: "That's good, what if...... I mean, if I don't come back, you divide my share of the money in two, one for Uncle Cato and one for the Lucas family at the right time. ”

Listening to Si Moxue's nonchalant tone as if explaining the aftermath, Tao'er had a sour nose and choked up and refused: "Don't, I don't want to do these errands for you, I want to send it to yourself." ”

Si Moxue touched Tao'er's head, looked out the window, and didn't speak.

That being said, Si Moxue felt that with her running speed and self-healing ability, as well as the combat skills she had trained day and night in the past few years, she had really encountered danger, and it was not impossible to escape.

In fact, Si Moxue was indeed stronger than the average junior wasteland hunter.

Early the next morning, all the chosen ones gathered at the outer gates of the oasis, most of them with a sad look on their faces.

The only senior hunter in that team took the lead in speaking arrogantly when he saw that the personnel were all there: "My name is Si Tan, I am an antelope gene hybrid, and a senior wasteland hunter. I'll be the leader of the team, do you have any problems? ”

Although it was a questioning sentence, Stankan said it in an entirely affirmative tone.

As he expected, the unlucky bunch of wilting ghosts on the team didn't offer any opinions.

It was a man and a woman standing at the end of the line who caught his eye, carrying backpacks and standing straight in the midst of a group of dejected people.

The ambient temperature after the apocalypse was very low, but the man stood in the cold wind wearing only a thin short sleeve. The woman was wearing a brand new field uniform with a straight back.

Tank stepped forward with his hands behind his back and pointed out the two men with his chin: "You, and you, what's your name?" ”

"Sim Xue."

"Opus."
