Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter 94 The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
"Squad leader, something is wrong, there are two alienated lingzhi that are out of order." After Hou Ziqi woke up in the morning, he used a refractor to observe the alienated Ganoderma lucidum above the ground as usual, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, waking up the other members who were still asleep.
"What's wrong? Monkey. After Shi Jianjun opened his eyes, he immediately approached Hou Ziqi and asked.
Hou Ziqi handed the refractor in his hand to Shi Jianjun and said, "Two of the six alienated lingzhi above have stopped growing!" β
"What does it mean that two flowers have stopped growing? These six alienated lingzhi flowers were still growing well before, why did it go wrong overnight? Squad leader, show me the situation above. Li Dana asked suspiciously.
After Shi Jianjun finished using the refractor, he frowned and handed the thing to Li Dana, and then said: "Four of the six alienated Ganoderma lucidum above have reached the pre-maturity stage, but the other two are still in the transition period between the seedling stage and the pre-maturity stage. The growth progress of these six alienated lingzhi flowers was obviously the same before, but I don't know why there was a difference after one night. β
After the members took turns to watch, Jiang Yun said puzzledly: "I didn't sleep until about five o'clock in the morning last night, and nothing special happened during this period, how could this kind of thing happen this morning?" β
"Anyway, let's go up first and see if there's anything we can do to remedy it." Zhou Quan suggested.
"Yes, if something really goes wrong, we need to change our plans temporarily." Shi Jianjun nodded.
After a closer look, they found no trace of the beast soldiers nearby, so they jumped out of the cave one by one. When they approached the Alien Lingzhi and took a closer look, they found that the two Alienated Lingzhi were indeed different from the other four normally growing Alienated Lingzhi, not only did they stop growing, but also showed signs of shrinking.
"This is because this land cannot support the merger phenomenon that occurs when six alienated lingzhi flowers mature together." After Ling Hai searched for the information about the Alienated Lingzhi in his mind, he suddenly said out loud: "These two Alienated Lingzhi will continue to shrink until they disappear, and when the Alienated Lingzhi in this land is completely mature, we can only harvest a maximum of 4 Alienated Lingzhi." β
"So that's the case, I just said that I didn't see anything else affecting the alienated Lingzhi last night, how could there be a situation for no reason." After Jiang Yun listened to Ling Hai's words, he suddenly said.
"Squad leader, what should I do now? One Alienated Ganoderma lucidum is missing, and in the end, the director will count us as a failure in our mission. Dana Li asked.
Zhou Quan pondered: "There are still five days left, and we still have the opportunity to go to other places to find the alienated Lingzhi that is about to mature. But then, we have to act in groups. Moreover, which ones to send to find other alienated reishi mushrooms also need to be discussed and decided. At the end, he looked at Shi Jianjun.
Shi Jianjun pondered slightly, and said, "That's it, the others continue to carry out the squatting ambush plan here, Ling Hai and Zhou Quan, you two, just work hard and go to other places to find the alienated Lingzhi." It's good to be able to find it, but it's okay to not find it, don't force yourself. If we can't find it, it's just a mission failure, and we can't afford it, but we can't work hard for the task. Is it okay for the two of you to arrange it this way? β
After Ling Hai and Zhou Quan heard this, they nodded without objection and said, "No problem." β
After Shi Jianjun agreed, he didn't waste any time, and directly asked Ling Hai and Zhou Quan to look for the alienated lingzhi in two directions, trying to see if they were lucky enough to find the alienated lingzhi that was also about to mature. Here, it's not that Shi Jianjun doesn't want to send more people to find it, but because they still need enough people here to hunt illusions. If there are too many people sent out now, there will be no more than four illusions hunted here, and even if enough Alien Lingzhi is picked on the other side, it will be useless.
On the way out, Ling Hai actually thought about letting his teammates scatter to other places to find the only one that was missing, while he himself stayed here to carry out picking and hunting tasks. Ling Hai has the ability to command, and the task that is more difficult for Class 5 is very simple for Ling Hai to do. And Shi Jianjun and the nine of them went to find a flower and an alienated Ganoderma lucidum, which had a much greater chance of success than two people looking for it.
But Ling Hai couldn't explain to the squad leader the reason why they should follow Ling Hai's plan. Therefore, in the end, Ling Hai could only bury his thoughts in his heart and act according to Shi Jianjun's instructions.
Time ran to the eighteenth day, Shi Jianjun and the four alienated lingzhi they were squatting on were completely ripe, and Li Dana quickly picked the four alienated lingzhi and withdrew to the back of the established barrier.
After that, the remaining eight people of the fifth squad were armed with guns and weapons, and hid behind the barrier to wait.
When they saw the shapeshifter's footprints on the man-made dust on the flat ground, their guns opened fire.
Dada!
After a burst of impenetrable shooting, six phantom corpses lay in front of Shi Jianjun and the others. After that, the eight people were divided into two teams, one team was responsible for carrying the beast corpses, and the other pair was responsible for covering their teammates and blocking the subsequent herd of beasts.
Bang bang!
In the end, Shi Jianjun and the others jumped off the waterhole with four alienated lingzhi and six phantom corpses without danger, and successfully escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the beasts.
After the eight men came ashore, they fled to the area where there were no traces of the orcs, and when they confirmed that there were no orcs chasing them nearby, and felt that they were completely out of danger, everyone gasped and smiled at each other's teammates.
Shi Jianjun cleared his throat and was about to contact Ling Hai and Zhou Quan to ask if their actions were going well, when a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Eight of you, immediately throw away all the guns and weapons on your body, hold your heads in your hands, and squat down !!" (To be revised later, please see tomorrow)
......
There is a small child.
His father was an alcoholic, and for as long as he can remember, every time he saw his father, he looked drunk, and he didn't know why adults liked to drink so much. The child had secretly tasted the taste of wine underneath, and he found it difficult to drink, so he became more and more puzzled.
His mother was a beautiful nightclub girl, and her job was to drink and have fun with customers, and every time she came home, she could smell a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol from afar. Because the mother's work is always at night, the child always sees the mother tired.
Dad doesn't have a job, every day at home in addition to eating and sleeping, is drinking, and the money to buy alcohol is robbed from Mom, yes, it's robbed.
In the wee hours of the morning, the fog lingered through the cramped streets with a chill, and the child's mother dragged her tired body through the mud and dirt of the city to return home. The drunken father, who was waiting on the sofa in the living room, would stop his mother at the door, rudely rummage through his pockets, and take all the money. If my mother resisted, I would be severely beaten by my father. Mom's strength is obviously not as great as Dad's, and the result of every resistance is that Mom finally slumped on the ground weakly, crying quietly. After crying for a long time, the mother finally got up by herself, walked to the door of the bedroom, and led the child who had been watching the door into the bedroom.
The mother holds the child in her arms and falls asleep like this, although the child feels that the smell of tobacco and alcohol on the mother is not good, but he can bear it, because the mother is already very tired, he does not want to disturb the mother's sleep, he wants to be a good child in the mother's mouth.
When the child was six years old, the mother went to another world. It was a sunny day, after school, he happily ran home to show off to his mother what he had learned today, opened the door, but saw his mother sleeping in the bathtub full of red blood in the bathroom, beautiful long black hair fluttering with the water, like a clump of aquatic plants.
The child was stunned for a long time, then rushed to the side of the tub and pulled his mother out of the tub with difficulty with his weak arms. The child patted his mother's cold face and kept shouting "Mommy" loudly, but the mother still didn't react at all. A voice told the child that he might never see his mother open her eyes again, so the child began to cry until there was no more tears in his eyes, and the child still clung to his mother's face and howled.
When the child could no longer howl, he slept in his mother's arms as before, holding his mother's body tightly with both hands, staring at the blood on the ground, his eyes were dull, as if he was frozen by magic.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Dad came back and walked to the bathroom door to see this scene, Dad was stunned, and after a few minutes, Dad had a gloomy and angry face that far exceeded that of a child before, and then cursed loudly a few times before calling the police.
After Mom left, Dad got a job, but the rest remained the same. Dad likes to drink more and more, and whenever he gets off work, Dad always has a wine bottle in his hand.
When the child is eight years old, he can no longer go to the school he likes, because his father is not willing to let him go to school anymore and cannot afford to provide for him to study. In fact, the child knows that his father does not mean that he can't afford to study, but wants him to work at home. The compulsory education in their primary school is very good, and people from the community often come to donate money and send books, and my father basically does not have to pay money to the school.
In the second week after the mother left, the child was completely independent, he could do laundry and cooking, and he could take care of himself. Even if Dad sometimes doesn't give him money, he can find food to fill his stomach by himself.
When the father saw that the child could take care of himself, he did not praise him, but instead ignored him before and turned into swearing and beating. If you don't wash your father's clothes in time, you will be beaten, and if the food is not made smelly, you will also be beaten. Sometimes the child walks back and forth in front of his father's eyes, and his father will scold him with a few words, "I don't know which dog mongrel is born with a cheap life" and "Don't dangle in front of Lao Tzu anymore". The child is very strange, isn't the current father not a father, and his real father is someone else?
Originating from the father's beating and torture, it has been throughout the child's childhood, fortunately, the child has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
At the age of twelve, a child becomes a teenager.
Hunger and beatings did not affect the teenager's development, and surprisingly, under such living conditions, the teenager turned out to be stronger and more handsome than his peers, but his tattered clothes and dirty face obscured his light, so his peers in the surrounding neighborhood did not play with him.
The life of a teenager is full of repeated suffering and confusion, until a dazzling ray of sunshine shines into the world of teenagers, and the confused life makes waves, and it is the appearance of a girl.
On that day, the boy walked down the street after buying groceries, and when he was on an arched bridge, a cart driver in front of him did not continue his strength at the last moment of the bridge, and the tricycle full of furniture accelerated backwards with the uncle who refused to let go. Seeing that the uncle was about to be dragged down by the accelerating truck, the young man hurriedly ran up and withstood the heavy tricycle.
Click!
The tricycle slowly stopped in the boy's hand, but the patched shoe that the boy had worn for a long time completely broke into two sections, exposing the back heel and even grinding blood. The young man frowned, he didn't care much about the bleeding heels, but he couldn't wear them at all if they were broken like this, this was his last pair of shoes.
It didn't take long for people nearby to come over to help push the uncle's tricycle across the bridge again, but the young man took advantage of the crowd and quietly left with a pair of broken shoes.
He hadn't gone far barefoot when someone suddenly shouted at him to wait. The boy turned around and saw a beautiful girl in white running over panting, holding a cardboard box in her hand. At that moment, the beautiful girl seemed to carry a brilliant light and firmly grasped the young man's attention.
While praising the boy for his bravery, the girl opened the cardboard box, which contained a pair of brand-new sneakers that the boy had longed for before.
The boy liked it very much, but he knew that he couldn't accept such a valuable gift, so he hurriedly declined, but unexpectedly, the girl, who was also a passerby, had unimaginable kindness and persistence, and insisted on sending the shoes to the boy.
Such a fateful encounter completely freed the boy from his confusion. For the first time, the life of a teenager has meaning. After that, he inquired and searched and found out about the school the girl attended. Every time a girl goes to school and ends up with school, he silently looks at the girl from a distance. It wasn't until a year later that the girl realized that there was an extra guardian knight behind her. When the teenager was caught by the girl, the teenager was so shy and inferior that he didn't even dare to raise his head. To the boy's surprise, the girl still remembered him, and did not dislike the boy's poverty at all, and took the initiative to become friends with the boy.
With his first friend, the boy began to change, he began to love cleanliness, picked up books again, worked hard to teach himself, and he wanted to make himself worthy of the identity of a friend. And the girl is also very willing to help the teenager and take the initiative to be his tutor.
The boy was very happy, and even when he was beaten by his father, as long as he thought about the girl's face, the pain would be reduced a lot. The boy even felt that the meaning of his existence was this girl.
If the sugar is too thick, it will become bitter, and happiness will reach its peak, and for some reason there will always be suffering.
The girl is beautiful, the girl is kind. So, trouble found her.
That year, both the boy and the girl were sixteen years old.
Very clichΓ© plot, a junior boy in a girls' school has a crush on a girl and wants her to be her girlfriend. The boy is an official, a rich second generation, and a person who speaks in both black and white. As long as the girl does not leave the city, she cannot escape the harassment of the boys. When the boy learned of this, despite the girl's dissuasion, he resolutely talked to the boy and threatened him. As a result, half a day later, he was beaten into a pig's head with an iron rod by more than a dozen young people invited by the boys and thrown into a public place.
The boy nursed his wounds at home for many days, and when he found the girl, although the girl was smiling in front of the boy, she was so haggard and pitiful.
The next day, the boy disappeared from the girl's world, because, when the boy was alone, he completely trampled on the boy's lower body. Later, in the anger of the boy's parents, he became a juvenile delinquent and was sentenced to ten years.
When he was released from prison at the age of 26, he went to look for the girl, but was told by the girl's parents crying that the girl had been imprisoned for a year because of the boy's family's continuous troubles and entanglements, which led to the girl's parents being laid off, and the girl committed suicide because of guilt.
Hearing the news, he turned from a teenager to a young man, and he looked up to the sky for a long time to force tears back into his eyes, and his heart was full of disappointment in this world.
The world of youth has faded its last color.
He found a lot of work and worked hard to live like the suicide note that the girl wrote to him, but he was often cursed and insulted by his boss and deducted from his salary. But he didn't care, for the girl's instructions, he could bear it.
And just like that, three years passed.
At this time, he happened to meet a boy ten years later, after the boy's lower body was trampled on, he was surgically fitted with a prosthesis, and he spent all day in bars, doing nothing, and even had the ability to play with other girls.
Seeing that the boy can continue to live in peace, while the girl is gone forever. He quit his job, bought a large bouquet of flowers, walked to the grave of the girl who brought him light and hope, and sat quietly for the day. As night fell, he picked up the kit he had prepared, left the cemetery, sneaked into the boy's house, and tortured the boy and his parents for two days and one night before slowly killing him.
After the murder, he fled to Vietnam and became a mercenary, becoming more and more powerful and cruel in the struggle between various forces. In addition to killing, his life was still killing, he killed many people, and in the end, because of his enmity with many people, he was abandoned by the leader and shot to death by the enemy.
After he died, he unexpectedly came to a place called "Main God Space". After experiencing some things and figuring out the specific rules of the main god space, he fell in love with this place. Because, in his opinion, this place is much simpler than the present world, the survival of the fittest, as long as he is strong enough, he can have everything.
And the main god space also seems to have a preference for him, not only allowing him to escape many crises on the line of life and death, but also making him a "divine blesser", and his awakened talent, called [Pain Transfer], can transfer the pain he bears to his opponent exponentially. This talent allows him to always win against opponents, so he is very satisfied with his talent.
He believed that he could continue to be strong in the main god space, because he had a very satisfactory name, named Zhao Jinglong.
