The location of the first mercenary mission was not in the outer region of Gwang, but in the area near the sea of Tsu City before the Calamity. However, the front-line scenes in these two places are similar, they are all abandoned buildings, artillery pits, and so on. Only 40 kilometers beyond the shield can you see some dense vegetation, which is a modified area occupied by alien creatures.

These transformation areas occupied by alien creatures have a unified name, called [Soul Corridor].

After the alien creatures invaded the Earth, they conquered a large number of lands on which humans depended, and during the hundred years of stalemate between the two sides, the alien creatures brought some plants and non-combat creatures from the other world into the Earth.

In the occupied land, alien creatures have transformed a complete ecosystem, the [Corridor of Creatures], which is used to feed a large number of beast soldiers. The ecology inside is very wonderful, and all kinds of magical alien creatures coexist with the original creatures of the planet, which is a research paradise that terrestrial biologists yearn for.

The boundaries of the Living Corridor are generally built about 40 kilometers outward from the Tyre Shield. If there is regular fighting on the perimeter of an Alliance's shield, the perimeter will move outward a bit.

By the year 191 of the Calamity, the boundary distance of the Living Corridor had stabilized between 40 and 100 kilometers outside the hood.

Because the Living Corridor continues to feed hundreds of millions of beast soldiers, humans largely don't want the Living Corridor to exist on the Earth.

But the alien creatures attach great importance to the living corridor, and when a living corridor is formed, if humans destroy and clear the living corridor with artillery fire, the alien creatures will launch a terrifying beast tide to attack the nearby Tyre defense shield. Until humanity pays a heavy price, alien beings will never withdraw their troops easily.

Therefore, if it is not completely prepared for a counteroffensive, no alliance will easily destroy the Corridor of Creatures.

After a hundred years of small friction, since the alien life evacuated for unknown reasons 10 years ago, the scope of the living corridor has been basically fixed on Earth. Humans have acquiesced to the existence of the Creature Corridor, and they themselves often enter the Creature Corridor to obtain the necessary biological research materials.

And the creatures that make mercenaries rich overnight live in the corridor of living beings. As long as humans don't send large-scale troops into the living corridor, alien creatures won't easily launch beast tides. A small squad of 12 people like Ling Hai entered the living corridor, and as long as they were not discovered, as long as they did not kill a large number of orcs and cause a commotion, they might be able to get what they wanted and return to the Tyre Shield.

Therefore, the Living Corridor also has another name, which is called Mercenary Paradise. As long as they enter the living corridor, the mercenaries will either die or become rich.

Disembarking from the transport plane, the members of the fifth squad put together their equipment.

In this mission, everyone rented a different weapon. But basic combat suits, electronic navigation, walkie-talkies, and rescue bombs, everyone is prepared.

On this mission, Ling Hai rented the following weapons: a submachine gun, 80 bullets, a Damascus, leather knives, and 2 grenades.

The total rental price of Ling Hai's equipment is 6,000 Alliance Coins for the time being, and the price will be higher as time goes on, but if the bullets and grenades are not used at the end of the mission, they can be refunded.

Now Ling Hai has not delivered a penny to the military, and the rental of all equipment is guaranteed by the Tengfei Group first, and the mercenaries need to pay for it until the mission is settled.

The other members of the fifth squad rented similar equipment to Ling Hai, except that the squad leader Shi Jianjun rented a heavy machine gun alone.

Generally speaking, mercenaries can't rent crane guns at the beginning because the cost is too high, but in foreign areas, heavy machine guns are a big weapon to cover the retreat of the team. For the sake of safety, many teams must try to have one person in the role of victim. When the other teams started as mercenaries, either no one rented a heavy machine gun at all, or everyone agreed to take turns in this role.

This time, the members of the fifth class originally discussed sharing the cost of renting a heavy machine gun together, but Shi Jianjun sternly refused. According to his own statement, he is not in a hurry to make money, as a squad leader who has been recognized by everyone for a long time, it is what he should do to give priority to the team, even if he is burdened with debts in the early stage, Shi Jianjun is willing to play this role.

You know, they met a good squad leader.

With Shi Jianjun, a leader who takes the lead, is cheerful, and is good at thinking about others, the cohesion of the fifth class has become stronger and stronger.

"Okay, after the sorting is over, let's go together to complete the tasks assigned by the consortium, and then come back here to discuss the matter of grouping and acting alone." Shi Jianjun looked at his teammates and said loudly.

"Okay, squad leader."

The crowd responded, and proceeded along the route set on the electronic navigation.

Before leaving, Ling Hai looked around and then quietly sent a message on his mobile phone.

"Start the mission and get in touch when you're done." Next, Ling Hai turned on the phone's location sharing.

"Roger."

After a while, Ling Hai's phone showed a reply.

When they walked about 10 kilometers outside the canopy, the fifth squad began to see the traces of the orcs. It's just that those beast soldiers are very careful, and they have been following Ling Hai and them, but they have never easily stepped into the effective range.

When there were more and more beast soldiers trailing, Ling Hai and the others tried a quick pursuit. However, it took a lot of effort to hunt down 3 Bursting Teeth.

However, everyone is not in a hurry, anyway, the task indicators are only 10 unicorns and 20 teeth, as long as you go a little deeper, the task will be easy to complete.

First, the fresh tooth-bursting blood was bagged and stored, and then Shi Jianjun arranged for three members to carry the three body-bursting corpses on their backs.

By the time the team had circled and advanced about 30 kilometers outside the defensive cover, it was already dark, and the fifth squad had hunted a total of 16 Bursting Teeth and 4 lone horns.

"It's getting dark, we need to find a base to rest in the night, and then we can continue tomorrow morning." Shi Jianjun said after looking up at the sky.

Zhou Quan opened the map on the electronic navigation and said, "About 1 kilometer northeast from here, there is an abandoned chemical factory, we can go there to rest at night." ”

Now the fifth class has carried 20 beast corpses, and it is indeed inconvenient to continue hunting, so everyone readily agrees.

After arriving at the chemical factory, Ling Hai and the others first put all 20 beast corpses and the blood bags of the beast soldiers into a small warehouse, and then worked together to seal the door of the warehouse with a boulder, so as to prevent the beast soldiers from secretly bringing the beast corpses back at night. The 12 of them climbed to the top of the chimney in the chemical plant as a base for their night's rest.

Because they had prepared dry food in advance before entering the Outlands, Ling Hai and the others didn't need to make a fire to cook. The group watched the sunset slowly sink and silently recovered their strength.

"Squad leader, now that everyone has become mercenaries, can you talk about why you came to be a mercenary?" After the meal, Li Dana looked at Shi Jianjun and suddenly asked.
