Chapter 35: Private Missions

Lowe had considered going to Heber in Yuxi City. If you are recuperating in Heber's house, it will be safer and it will take less time to heal. But he eventually gave up on that plan.

Strictly speaking, although Luo gave a low-level genetic sample to Heber and saved Lisa's life, Heber also introduced him to the buyer of the high-level genetic sample, the Marquis of the Begu family, as agreed.

Moreover, Luo was now in a state of extreme weakness, and he would rather stay in the wilderness than rush to Yuxi City in this state.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing.

Lowe didn't know much about Heber, and he wasn't sure if Heber would have other thoughts when he saw his weak self.

Hiber and Lisa were among the few who knew the secret.

Luo still understands the truth of his sin.

In the end, the H913 gathering place was not destroyed by the long-range artillery fire of the Cadivan family, and the twin brothers' plan was not approved, which also made the departure of the two slightly hasty and embarrassing.

But Panis's life didn't change for the better because of the loss of the Cardivan family's power. The mob that had spared the Gathering had left, but they had also taken with them the vast majority of mutated creatures within a few hundred kilometers of the Settlement, even the turf.

Of course, they are carried away in the stomach.

The chief can summon his own people, but he cannot limit his people's instinct for food.

The H913 gathering place has become a lonely existence on this abandoned wilderness, which the chief did not expect at the beginning.

Drinking water is sufficient, but food has become the biggest problem for H913.

Exchanging drinking water for food is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst. Drinking water, especially the drinking water that Luo worked so hard to get back, contains only a very small amount of radiation, and in the wilderness that is full of radiation, it is definitely a non-renewable resource. A large part of the killings that are repeated every day in the wilderness are caused by drinking water.

Unless there is a water purification system, this is much more precious than the generator that Medusa gave to the H913 colony.

Lowe's return is far away, and Panis finally decides to get back to her old job.

Although the battle between Medusa and Eris on Alex Hunter's Co. Square weakened its overall strength, the rewards for the mercenary missions issued had increased somewhat, perhaps because the company's top brass finally realized that the consequences of offending these wilderness people were much worse than expected.

In the front, there was Luo, a mercenary in the night, and in the back, the city lord of Yuxi City and the unknown girl were wreaking havoc in the company's base.

"Hi dear Panis, finally seeing you again. How's it going, my old fellow, going back to the wilderness to get your muscles moving? By the way, why didn't your little man come? ”

The bearded boss in the alec Slayer Inc. base tavern was especially enthusiastic when he met Panis, and he was even one of the many suitors of Panis.

"Dear Uncle Bob, your beard is much thicker, which makes you look even sexier! Do you owe electricity to the base? Or did you decide to have a candlelit dinner? ”

Panis gave Beard a big hug, then pulled over a high stool and sat down outside the tall wooden table in the not-so-bright tavern.

The lights in the tavern were not turned on, but a candle was lit on each table, making the tavern appear much darker than usual.

In such a noisy setting, Panis was visibly adaptable. She felt that she was born to be mercenary, and she took the glory of mercenaries very seriously.

Compared to Panis, Walker, who carried a bow on his back, was much more reserved.

"My man......"

Panis knew that the man in her beard's mouth was Luo, but she didn't break it, and even had the idea of continuing the misunderstanding.

"You know, Bob, somebody has to be at home to take care of the kids!"

Beard placed a glass of beer in front of Paniss and handed Walker another one, but Walker shook his head and refused.

"My dear, this new member of yours seems to be a little reserved, and that's not the character that the wilderness likes."

Beard put the undelivered beer in front of Panis, and he knew how much the woman in front of him had drunk.

"I'll give you these two glasses of wine, Panis, for our friendship."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Panis reached out and pulled back.

"Bob, I'm not here just to drink! Old man, you know what I'm here for, take your baby out and show me if there's a suitable task. ”

The tavernkeeper was silent, and he looked down and thought about it for a long time before he reluctantly took out a piece of brown paper from his bosom and placed it in front of Panis.

"Panis, because your little man didn't meet the deadline, and ......, your Night Squad has been put on the company's undesirable list. So, I'm sorry, dear. ”

Panis's words didn't surprise Panis, who had come here to try her luck.

"Bob, you know, I have kids to raise. But thank you again, old man! ”

Panis drank down the two beers in front of her, waved at her beard, and stood up and walked out of the tavern.

Maybe it's time to think of other ways to make money.

"Panis, wait a minute!"

The beard behind him suddenly shouted to Panis, who had already walked towards the door.

Panis turned her head, and the tavernkeeper was already walking towards her.

"You can't take on the company's tasks, my dear. But old Bob has a personal assignment of his own, I wonder if you are interested? Of course, the remuneration is also very generous! ”

Panis's face was smiling again.

"Bob, if I hadn't had a man, I might have slipped into your bed in the middle of the night because of the emotion at this moment!"

"Haha! You're still so humorous, Panis, no wonder you've always been favored by the wilderness! ”

There is some truth to the nonsense, and Panis's luck seems to be good, especially after meeting Lo.

Panis is one of the few female mercenaries who has a good life, and has become a gathering place sheltered by the extended family, and has gradually rebuilt her own mercenary squad that is on the verge of collapse.

Compared to these, her greatest luck was to know Luo, and successfully made Luo regard her as an existence second only to Yi, and with Luo's help, she became a high-level ability.

Although there were some small accidents along the way, such as the Auster who wanted to get her hands on her, and the Cardivan family powerhouse who wanted to have a big party at the H913 gathering place.

But as a result, Panis was still sitting in the tavern drinking comfortably, while Oster had long since rotted, and the Cardivans had departed.

It wasn't just Lo and Panis who were given special care of the wilderness, but also the wilderness blackback rat who was particularly thriving in both the old and new eras.

This wild mutant rat, which shares the same tenacious vitality as the wilderness cockroach, is perhaps one of the few species in this wasteland that never worries about a food source.

Inheriting the traits of their ancestors in the wilderness, the Wilderness Mutant Blackback is agile, has a keen sense of smell and touch, and eats everything. The rotting corpses of other creatures, mutated insects, grass roots, and even the ubiquitous sand and gravel of the wilderness can be food for their mouths.

Unlike their solitary ancestors, in order to reproduce and survive in this cruel wilderness, they changed their solitary habits and began to live in groups.

Change is not always beneficial, at least in some ways detrimental.

Luo stared at a burrow of mutated blackback rats in the wilderness, and deep on the gravel surface, there should be a large group of blackback rats living in a crypt.

His injuries were fatal, and his weakness forced him to temporarily abandon the idea of challenging mutated creatures such as mutant wolves, and began to start the idea of mutant blackback rat crypts.

It's not the first time Lo has troubled these black-backed rats the size of old-time domestic cats, and the way he catches them is simpler and more brutal after having his body shaped.

Lowe had used moldy breadsticks to trap mutant ants in the Colosseum's dungeons. And now, his body is the moldy bread sticks that are used to trap prey.
