Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter 99 Confession
A farce caused by the healing of bud seedlings ended temporarily with both sides losing out.
On this mission, not only the rented weapons and equipment were seized, but even the hard-earned mission items were taken away by the mercenaries of the Jiashi Foundation, which can be described as a heavy loss, but fortunately, there were no casualties in the end.
And the Jiashi mercenary team led by Zhao Liuyi also lost a huge amount of ammunition and weapons in this struggle, and abandoned the seized materials on the way to escape, so there was also no gain. And to make matters worse, they also killed four people. It takes a lot of money and time for a consortium to cultivate a mercenary, plus a pension, and the death of four mercenaries at a time is still a heavy loss for a consortium.
After Zhao Liuyi left, Ling Hai was afraid that the unarmed team members would be held hostage by Zhao Liuyi again, so he could only guard his teammates to return to the camp first. And this time on the way back, there were no other waves.
The waves are gone, but on the way back, the members of the fifth class wanted to speak many times, but they tacitly cared about something, and never declared the doubts in their hearts, which made the atmosphere in the whole team extremely weird.
Ling Hai originally thought that if the squad leader really asked himself why the beast soldiers he attracted didn't attack them, Ling Hai would directly confess his [command] ability to his teammates. But until they arrived at the military's storage camp, none of their teammates spoke, and Ling Hai could only swallow his words back into his stomach.
"There are still two days left in the mission time limit, and there is a high probability that this mission will not be completed, and in the next two days, my idea is that we will re-rent weapons and equipment from the military, and then spend two days hunting beasts to make up for the previous losses as much as possible. What do you think? Shi Jianjun said to his teammates gathered around.
"You can't go back like this, huh? This time the loss is so serious, the remaining time can be recovered a little bit is a little bit. Li Dana replied.
"It's right to try to make up for the loss, but what if we encounter another mercenary from the Jiashi Foundation? They should still be in the Outlands today. After Jiang Yun thought of this question, he asked with some concern. Jiang Yun is not afraid of the mercenaries of the Jiashi Foundation, but judging from the current situation, if the two sides meet again in the outer lands, an exchange of fire is inevitable. And the exchange of fire means that there is a possibility of casualties on his side, which is not what Jiang Yun wants to see.
"Damn, what are you afraid of! When you encounter it, you just do it, just to kill those bastards one by one. Hou Ziqi remembered the humiliation of being held hostage before, and said angrily.
After Zhou Quan heard this, he calmly persuaded on the side: "It's not a matter of being afraid or not, if there is a chance, and there is an absolute advantage, I am in favor of killing them all, but the reality is that they are more than me, once there is a firefight, in case there are casualties on our side, it is something that cannot be recovered by any amount of money." Therefore, I suggest that we go back this time, and when we are fully prepared, we will find an opportunity to 'collect today's debts' from the mercenaries of the Jiashi Foundation next time." ”
"What Zhou Quan said is exactly what I meant, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, we don't need to be tough with them now." Jiang Yun said: "A small Jiashi consortium dares to challenge the Tengfei Group, as long as we get the support of the Tengfei Group, it will be a very simple matter to clean up the mercenaries of the Jiashi consortium in the future." ”
"Why don't we report the actions of the Jiashi Foundation to the military now, we are the victims, and we can rely on the military to clean them up?" Dana Lee asked.
Zhou Quan: "What about the evidence?" What evidence do we have to prove that the Jiashi mercenaries led by Zhao Liuyi have held us hostage? ”
"Without evidence, the military will only give them a verbal warning at most, and then, if we succeed in killing them one day, the first object of suspicion of the military will be us, and what good will it do us except to cause trouble?"
Seeing his teammates arguing over the question of "whether to go back now", Ling Hai thought silently for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Squad leader, brothers! I'm going to say something to you, it's inconvenient to have a lot of people here, can we go and find a place outside the camp to talk? ”
Ling Hai's sudden speech interrupted everyone's argument, and after the teammates looked at each other, they all stood up silently.
"Of course, Ling Hai. Let's go, where you lead the way. Shi Jianjun glanced at Ling Hai seriously and said.
The other members of Class 5 had more or less guessed what Ling Hai was going to say to them at this time, so they suddenly fell silent and followed Ling Hai with their eyes.
After making up his mind, Ling Hai took his teammates to a hidden location away from the storage camp. After confirming that there was no one else around, Ling Hai began his confession.
"I know that everyone has doubts about why the beasts didn't attack you before, but because it is inconvenient for me to speak, everyone buries their doubts in the bottom of their hearts, and I see all this. We are all brothers who have passed away, and I believe that you will not give away my secrets at will, so after thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell you my secrets. ”
"Yes, for some special reasons, I have a very special ability, which comes from the leader of the alien creatures [Hera], and the name of the ability is [Command]. My current command ability allows me to control the actions of most orcs within a 500-meter radius, and I can command orcs in the area to attack or not attack humans, or I can order them to kill each other. That's why Zhou Quan and I didn't attack you when we rescued you. ”
"By the way, in addition to this, I also have an ability that also comes from Hera, I call it [Spiritual Storm], the ability of Spiritual Storm is that I can use the sting of the sting formed by the spiritual power to blind and headache a certain intelligent creature standing not far in front of me. This is also the reason why I was able to defeat Zhao Liuyi in the first place, but so far, this ability cannot be fired in bursts, and after activating it once, it can only be activated again after resting for at least 6 hours. ”
"The source of my two special abilities is very coincidental, almost impossible to replicate, plus I promised others some things I can't say, so I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specific process. And I am telling these two secret abilities at this moment, one is to solve your doubts, and the other is to make you believe that I can use these two days to make up for this loss. ”
After quietly listening to Ling Hai's explanation, the members of Class 5 looked at Ling Hai one by one still.
"I understand, I guessed a little bit before, but now when I hear Ling Hai say this thing in person, I can't believe it." Li Dana grabbed his hair and said distractedly.
"Me too, it's really unbelievable." Hou Ziqi said in a daze: "Ling Hai, you have these two abilities, doesn't it mean that the current outer region no longer has any threat to you, and the outer region is a place for you to earn withdrawals?" ”
"I can't say that there is no danger, although I haven't encountered it yet, but I guess that if I meet Hera in the future, my half-baked [command] ability will probably be invalid. Also, my current command ability is only effective against ordinary beast soldiers, and it is unknown whether I can command other beast soldiers such as shield beasts, black blades, and winged demons, so the outer realm is still dangerous to me. ”
"Ling Hai, although it is a little offensive, I still want to know, is it true that your [Command] ability cannot be replicated? You must know that this ability is of immeasurable significance for human beings to counterattack alien creatures and completely recover the earth! Zhou Quan asked with a serious face.
Ling Hai was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "What I can still reveal at the moment is that if you want to have the same command ability as me, the premise is that there is a person with a reagent fit of 200%, plus a living Hera for him to experiment, so that he has the slightest possibility of obtaining this ability." ”
Hearing these two preconditions, the hope that flickered in the eyes of the members was extinguished at the same time. Because of these two prerequisites, neither of them can be met.
Only by gathering the power of the alliance can these two prerequisites be met at the same time, but even if these two conditions are met, it is only possible to have them, not necessarily to have them.
"In other words, in fact, Ling Hai, your reagent fit has reached 200%?" Shi Jianjun quickly recovered from his disappointment, and after a slight analysis, he asked Ling Hai.
"Yes, in the Kaifeng Battalion, I can only hide my real data in order not to stand out too much. In some ways, I just want to be an ordinary warrior like everyone else......" Ling Hai replied truthfully. "I am willing to dedicate my strength to mankind, but I don't want to become an outlier for people to study, so I hope you can keep these words secret for me today, after all, I can't afford the expectations of all mankind, and I don't want to get into too much trouble."
"No wonder you broke through to the realm of second reinvention so quickly." Li Dana sighed at Ling Hai's reagent fit, and then said solemnly: "Ling Hai, don't worry, since you don't want to be known, these secrets of yours, even if I am killed, I will not tell them." ”
"I swear, I won't say it." Hou Ziqi said.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Hearing that everyone promised not to leak secrets, Ling Hai slightly let go of the worries in his heart. The reason why he chose to confess directly to the members was that he didn't want to affect the relationship between the members because of suspicion. It's much easier to just say it and then ask the members to keep it a secret than to keep it a secret. At least in the future missions, Ling Hai no longer has to go to great lengths to hide his abilities.
Of course, it was a confession, but Ling Hai did not tell his teammates all the secrets and hole cards on his body. For example, the mouth of devouring, such as the compatibility of reagents, Ling Hai did not tell the members.
Ling Hai felt that it would be beneficial for both parties to keep some secrets appropriately. Ling Hai believes that today's teammates are fast and reliable, but people can change, and Ling Hai can't help but consider this aspect.
"Protecting Ling Hai's secret is to safeguard the collective interests of our fifth class, and I believe everyone can understand this truth." Zhou Quan looked at the members and said, "Now that the question is solved, shouldn't we discuss how to make good use of Ling Hai's [command] ability?" ”
