Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter 71 Heal the Flower Buds
Shi Jianjun was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I am not short of money, and I don't want to get rich. I came to be a mercenary for only one purpose, and that was to retrieve a fully formed [Healing Bud] from the Outlands. ”
In the faint light, Shi Jianjun's face became serious, and his eyes were bright, telling everyone that he was a person with a story.
Hearing the words "healing buds", the members didn't ask the squad leader what they wanted to do with healing buds, and they already showed clear expressions.
The Healing Flower Bud is a plant brought by alien beings from the Atlas to the Earth, and its effect is very wonderful. As long as the animal is placed in a fully formed healing bud, it can renew the bone muscle.
To put it bluntly, it is to allow humans and other animals with mutilated limbs to regrow their mutilated parts in a short period of time and become a normal person (animal). Of course, a limb can only be repaired if it is acquired, such as amputation. If you are born with a genetic defect and do not grow a certain body part, this condition cures the bud and cannot be repaired.
These have been taught in the Kaifeng Battalion, so Shi Jianjun doesn't need to explain, everyone already knows what he needs to do to heal Hua Bud.
"A fully formed healing bud is worth about 5 million Union Coins, and it is often priceless. If you want to get the healing buds, you have to collect them yourself, but the healing buds only grow in the sea, and if you want to reach the sea, you need to reach at least 80 kilometers outside the hood, which means that you have to pass through about 40 kilometers of the living corridor. With the power of mercenaries, this is very difficult to do! Squad leader, why don't you go directly to join the army, it is more promising to use the strength of the army. Zhou Quan frowned and said worriedly.
Shi Jianjun sighed a little and said: "The army can mobilize mecha and fighters, and it is indeed easier to collect healing buds, but in this case, the collected resources must be handed over to the alliance, and it is impossible for me as a low-level soldier to get it." On the contrary, it is a mercenary, although it is difficult to get it, but once you get it, it is your own, so I came to be a mercenary. ”
"Do you have any plans, squad leader? If there's anything we can do to help, just ask. Li Dana took the initiative to say.
Mercenaries walk through the living corridor, not the more people the better, in order to avoid causing a commotion among the orcs, it is safer to move alone. So even if Li Dana and them had the heart to help, they couldn't say the words to go on an adventure together.
"I do have a plan." Shi Jianjun nodded and said: "It just so happens that the outer soul corridor here in the capital is much smaller than other places, so I will first find out the terrain and the situation of the beast division here, and then when I pass the third degree of remodeling, I will find an opportunity to cross the living soul corridor here and go to the sea to collect healing buds." ”
"And what about you, why did you all come to be mercenaries? Anyway, there's nothing to do tonight, so you can talk about what you want to say. As soon as Shi Jianjun finished answering, he continued.
Obviously, although Shi Jianjun was willing to share his reasons, he didn't want the members to remember their problems, so he hurriedly shifted the topic to other members.
And the members also knew that going to the beach to collect and cure flower buds was a matter of life and death, so they took over the words and talked about the reason why they became mercenaries. Among them, Ling Hai was the only one, and after listening to Shi Jianjun's words, he secretly kept Shi Jianjun's wish in mind. In case Ling Hai can really flexibly use the [Command] ability in the future, then it is not too difficult for him to go to the beach to collect and heal flower buds.
However, during the hunt just now, Ling Hai secretly wanted to activate the [Command] ability, but was shocked to find that although he could still feel the soul of the beast soldiers, he could not order the beast soldiers to obey his orders like last time, otherwise the task indicators would have been completed long ago.
In fact, after returning from the front line last time, Ling Hai found that his perception range had been shrinking, and today, Ling Hai could only perceive a radius of 100 meters.
Therefore, Ling Hai was not sure if he would be able to flexibly use his command ability in the future.
Ling Hai hadn't told Professor Li about the shrinking of the perception domain yet, he thought that it was because he didn't have any beast soldiers around him that it would cause the perception domain to shrink. Ling Hai planned to wait for himself to re-enter the Outlands and complete the verification in front of the beast soldiers, and then report his situation to Professor Li.
The situation of the failure of the commander just now made Ling Hai reassess his strength.
The perception domain had been stable within a radius of 100 meters for several days, and Ling Hai could still sense the soul of the beast soldier, which showed that the brain change was not a flash in the pan. Then why can't he command the beast soldiers suddenly, Ling Hai still needs to wait for the verification after the future to give him an answer.
After some exchanges between the members of the fifth class on the top of the chimney, except for Shi Jianjun, the remaining 11 people all said that they had no special reason, that is, they came to be mercenaries simply to make money.
In the small talk, the night passed smoothly, and after dawn the next day, the fifth class began to continue the hunting operation again.
The current position of the fifth squad has reached about 30 kilometers outside the defensive cover, so the number of orcs is no longer a problem. Before noon, the fifth class completed the task assigned by the consortium, and even exceeded the target.
So, the group took 26 tooth-bursting beast corpses and 16 unicorn corpses and began to return to the camp on the front line. And when Ling Hai was completing the task, he contacted the person who verified the [Commander] again, and it didn't take long for that person to send Ling Hai a location from the outer realm, telling Ling Hai and the others to go there to find him.
In order to make it easier for the army and mercenaries to recover the carcasses and other research materials, the Alliance has set up a number of material storage camps near the perimeter of the Tyre Shield, so that soldiers in the Outlands do not have to repeatedly climb over the walls of the cover for prey, wasting time and oil.
Sending 10 unicorns and 20 fangs back to the consortium separately required 20 percent of the postage fee to be paid to the military, so there were still 6 unicorns left in the hunting harvest of the fifth shift so far. In the military's valuation, a single horn is equal to a burst tooth.
After that, Shi Jianjun took the initiative to sell the materials of the 6 unicorns to the military, and obtained 30,000 alliance coins, which were temporarily recorded in the account, and the one-time settlement was made at the end of the seven-day hunt.
After replenishing the ammunition consumed, the fifth squad walked out of the camp and began to discuss the next free hunt.
Shi Jianjun spoke first: "I propose that 12 of us, in the next free hunt, at least three people in a group, and then divide into four groups to act in an area of about 30 kilometers outside the hood, and if there is a situation, we can take care of each other through the walkie-talkie, so it is safer, what do you think?" ”
"Squad leader." As soon as Shi Jianjun's words were finished, Ling Hai hurriedly shouted: "This time I want to carefully explore the map first, and I don't really want to continue hunting beast soldiers, so I apply to act alone." ”
Shi Jianjun glanced at Ling Hai and said, "Well, okay, what about the others, do you have any opinions on the grouping?" ”
"No comment."
Shi Jianjun: "Okay, have you made an appointment with the team in advance?" ”
"Nope." Everyone answered in unison, and then looked at Shi Jianjun, and the scene suddenly quieted down.
Since the beginning of the Kaifeng Battalion, Shi Jianjun's performance has been relatively good, and he is more righteous, so of course the members want to team up with Shi Jianjun, but no matter who proposes it first, it will be a little unfair to others, so everyone can only wait for Shi Jianjun's arrangement.
"Let's do it, let's use the mobile phone software to draw lots, 1~3 for group A, 4~6 for group B, 7~9 for group C, and 10~11 for group D. Is that okay? ”
"Let's do it like this, everyone is a brother anyway, and there will be no opinion on which group they are assigned to." Jiang Yun said, and the others also nodded after hearing this.
In the end, after the software draw, Shi Jianjun and Li Dana were placed in Group D, while the others were all in groups of three.
Before moving separately, Shi Jianjun said to Ling Hai, who was acting alone: "I believe in your speed, but you still have to be more careful when acting alone and keep in touch." ”
"I will, squad leader." Ling Hai nodded earnestly, and then a person began to go to the location given by the person who was secretly contacting.
The place where the two met was also a factory, and when Ling Hai arrived, he saw a man hiding his whole body in a black trench coat.
"Ling Hai?" The man in the trench coat asked.
"Yes." Ling Hai bowed.
"I'm the person in charge of this verification, the beast soldiers to be inspected have been locked up in the warehouse inside, I'll take a picture of your verification process and hand it over to the company later, let's go, let's go to warehouse No. 1 first." The man in the trench coat said softly: "Start with a single beast soldier first, and then verify the beast herd. ”
"Okay."
Next, Ling Hai and the man in the trench coat moved from warehouse to warehouse, verifying the ability of [Command] in turn.
In fact, it doesn't need to be so complicated to verify the ability of [command], but in Professor Li's verification arrangement, Ling Hai needs to try the situation under various conditions, so Ling Hai is busy between warehouses.
After all the verifications were completed, Ling Hai had an accurate understanding of the [Command] ability he currently possessed.
As long as the beast soldier enters the perception domain within a radius of 100 meters from Ling Hai, and there are no other humans around Ling Hai, if these two conditions are met, Ling Hai can make the beast soldier with a strong desire to attack stop moving. Ling Hai walked over and stroked the beast soldier, and the beast soldier who was touched would not have any reaction, let alone attack Ling Hai.
At present, there are three types of beast soldiers tested: Burst Teeth, Single Horn, and Illusion. Therefore, at present, it can basically be concluded that without encountering Hera, Ling Hai can safely walk through the living corridor alone.
The only thing Ling Hai regretted about this verification was that he could make the beast soldiers calm and immobile in the perception domain, but he couldn't communicate with the beast soldiers to get information as before, let alone command the beast soldiers to kill each other.
All in all, the fact that Ling Hai has the ability to command can indeed be determined. However, at present, Ling Hai's command ability has "shrunk" for unknown reasons.
Ling Hai didn't know if his command ability could evolve with the development of his body later, when he reshaped it through three degrees.
After the verification was over, the man in the trench coat left with a video recording of the entire process. From beginning to end, Ling Hai didn't know the name and appearance of the man in the trench coat, and it was obvious that Tengfei Group didn't want Ling Hai to know the information of the verifiers.
Ling Hai wouldn't even know that the man in the trench coat who was in charge of verification was secretly monitored by the Tengfei Group after handing over the original video, and he hid it for a long, long time.
There are still four and a half days left in the time limit for this mission, but Ling Hai doesn't plan to go to Shi Jianjun to join them, because he still has one more thing to verify......
