Just when Liu Batian was looking at his broken knife, a noise came, followed by all kinds of exclamations, Liu Batian looked at the door of the factory strangely, you know, although the regime collapsed, no one in the Suyang gathering place dared to make trouble under the management of the legion, and he had never encountered such a noisy situation in the steel mill for so long.

Under the sun, a black and bright luster reflected in Liu Batian's eyes, and the intermittent sound came, Liu Batian vaguely heard the words ore, mutation, etc., his eyes flashed, and the whole person rushed to the door.

At the door of the factory, Wu Xi, as the director of the factory, was looking at the bright black ore in his hand, Liu Batian suddenly appeared in front of him, stretched out his hand and took away the ore, Wu Xi wanted to get angry, but he saw that it was Liu Batian, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"What is this?" Liu Batian stared at Wu Xi and asked.

"A type of mutated ore, it is not clear what it is made of, and it needs to be studied."

"How long?".

Wu Xi shook his head, "I don't know, I can only understand when the preliminary research report comes out."

Liu Batian's knife was broken, and everyone knew that if there was anyone in the current gathering place who wanted to use mutated ore the most, it would definitely be Liu Batian.

Return the mutant ore to Wu Xi, "Trouble you, study it as soon as possible."

Wu Xi nodded, and turned his gaze to the big beauty Yuan Jia, who had been ignored by everyone, and this piece of ore was brought by her.

"Director Yuan, how much of this ore is there?" Wu Xi asked.

Yuan Jia stroked her hair, "I don't know, according to the report of the First Army, the location is five kilometers away from the abandoned factory in the west of Hai'an County, in the gas station next to the provincial highway, they hope that we can send someone to investigate."

"No problem, I know someone who can survey the ore vein, please ask Director Yuan to arrange someone to escort you over."

"I'll escort" Liu Batian interjected.

Yuan Jia smiled charmingly, "It's safest to have Team Leader Liu escort, it's troublesome Team Leader Liu."

Liu Batian didn't look at Yuan Jia, and urged Wu Xi to bring the surveyor as soon as possible.

More than half an hour later, in an SUV, Liu Batian drove the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed to Hai'an.

There were also three people sitting in the car, followed by a pickup truck with some testing equipment.

Three hours later, Liu Batian and the others came to the gas station, where the First Legion was stationed to protect the ore vein.

Seeing Liu Batian, Hong Ding and the others began to be surprised, and then realized that no one was more nervous about these mutated ores than Liu Batian.

"Brother Liu, it's been a long time," Hong Ding greeted.

Liu Batian nodded, he still respects the strong, Hong Ding's strength is recognized by him, and he is not as cold as others.

"You're fast," Liu Batian said lightly.

"To fight, you have to take the initiative, it's better to pull the battle line to Mingdu than in Suyang, otherwise it will cause a tide of corpses if you are not careful."

Liu Batian nodded, he was not interested in this.

"It's a pity, if Brother Liu can come to the army, at least the commander of the legion" Hong Ding pretended not to care and said, he really wanted to pull Liu Batian into the army, this is a master second only to Jiang Feng.

Liu Batian knew Hong Ding's intentions, but he would not succumb to anyone, even if that person was Jiang Feng.

The appearance of mutant ore in the upper echelons of the gathering place has caused some fluctuations, and the focus of everyone's discussion is not on the performance of mutated ore, but on the location where it appears. Jiang Feng only said that there were mutated ores before, but the reason for the formation was not clear.

In the first area of the gathering place, in the conference hall, Zhao Qibai and others were discussing.

"According to our estimates, the formation of this mutated ore is irregular, which means that even stone or glass slag may form mutated ore," Yuan Jia said.

"I agree, just like zombies and mutant beasts, there is no pattern, who can tell the reason for the formation of the ability?". Tan Yan said

"I don't agree, at least it should be mutated on the basis of ore or metal, can it still appear out of thin air?" Zhao Qibai said.

Hong Yuanshan did not speak.

The others argued, Yuan Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Actually, half a month ago, the city lord asked me to find a place in Yanhe District to establish a mercenary union, I have already arranged it, and now I can activate it, issue tasks, and find mutant ores, if it is irregular mutation, then other places should also exist, and mercenaries can find it, if not, it means that our guess is wrong, anyway, we don't need to help, some people are looking for it."

"That's right, just post the mission in the mercenary hall" Hong Yuanshan immediately made a decision.

The mercenary union was formed by Jiang Feng at the behest of Yuan Jia, and Jiang Feng himself served as the president of the union at the beginning of its establishment, but he was used to being the shopkeeper, so most of the things of the mercenary union were handled by Hong Yuanshan, assisted by Yuan Jia, and the location was in the city exhibition hall in Yanhe District.

There is already a set of merit value exchange system in the gathering place, the first-level star crystal can be exchanged for a little merit value, the second-level star crystal can be exchanged for ten points, the third-level star crystal can be exchanged for one hundred points, and the fourth-level star crystal can be exchanged for two thousand points, and the merit value can not only be exchanged for materials, but also for combat numerical detectors, zombie poison medicine, and even some positions, for many ordinary people, the current merit value exchange list, in addition to the combat numerical detector and zombie poison clear, there is no other temptation, but as long as the individual is clear, the gathering place is constantly expanding, There will be a lot of things in the future, and at worst, even if you exchange jobs in the gathering place, you can live a very nourishing life.

As soon as the merit point exchange system came out, countless survivors teamed up to go out to kill zombies and obtain star crystals, so that the speed of the Third Legion's cleanup was obviously accelerated a lot, and many of them were killed by survivors.

On this day, the completely closed city exhibition hall was opened, and the four big characters of the mercenary union shone brightly.

Many survivors and evolutionaries walked into the exhibition hall of the city, and they had already discovered the nature of the so-called mercenary union, which was actually a reasonable arrangement of some civilian teams to facilitate management.

Twenty evolutionaries stand on either side of the mercenary guild to prevent accidents.

The Mercenary Guild lobby has a large screen that shows the items that can be redeemed and their value, as well as a screen that shows the tasks issued by the Mercenary Guild.

"Looking for mutated ores?" A middle-aged man read it out, and a brief description of the mutated ore was displayed on the screen, along with a reward.

"Find the mutant ore, reward fifty merit points, determine the vein, reward two thousand merit points, two thousand? Isn't that the value of a fourth-level star crystal? A young man excitedly.

A girl next to him immediately gave him a blank look, "Stupid, two thousand is the value that mercenaries exchange for mercenaries to mercenary unions, if you buy it, the price will rise by ten percent."

"What? Why? In this way, who will exchange Star Crystals in the Mercenary Guild? The young man was dissatisfied.

A middle-aged man smiled and said, "The gathering place is hoping to control the star crystal through this method, and the star crystal represents force."

"Then wouldn't it be better for me to get the star crystal and sell it directly to others," the young man said unconvinced.

"However, merit points can only be exchanged for mercenary unions, and many things can only be purchased with merit points, and merit points cannot be exchanged outside."

The girl muttered, "No, I think the gathering place will definitely be reformed in the future, because it is the early stage of the apocalypse, and the survivors trade with food stamps, which is very inconvenient, and when the gathering ground is on track, there are more and more evolutionaries, and the transaction is either a star crystal, or another kind of credential issued by the gathering place, which may be merit value, or something else."

The middle-aged man looked at the girl in surprise, "Little girl, do you understand?"

The girl smiled slightly, and next to her, the young man hurriedly blocked the girl, and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle, I still want to soak in the little girl in this age, it's too much."

Behind him, the girl hurriedly pinched him and said angrily, "What nonsense".

The middle-aged man smiled and left without paying attention.

After the middle-aged man left, the girl glared at the young man fiercely, "Don't go and take the task yet."

"Okay, miss", the girl is Tan Yan's third daughter Tan Yan, who did not join the army at Tan Yan's signal, but formed a mercenary, and his understanding of Jiang Feng made Tan Yan realize that the mercenary union in the future must not be so simple, he would not put all his eggs in one basket, so let Tan Yan form a mercenary group to intervene in the mercenary group.

On the other side, Li Jinglin finally squeezed through the crowd and came to Li Lin's side, "Dad, what did you just say to the little girl over there?" The middle-aged man who had just communicated with Tan Yan was Li Lin, who was robbed of his power in Zhenjiang.

"It's nothing, a very discerning little girl," Li Lin smiled.

Li Jinglin sighed, "Let's go, Dad, I've taken over the task and went out to find mutant ores, hehe."

Li Lin smiled slightly, since leaving Zhenjiang, her daughter has become much more cheerful, she doesn't have to face annoying people, there is no pressure, and she is relieved, Suyang gathering place, a very good place.
