Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hunter and the Brotherhood (2-in-1)

"If we want to end this disaster as soon as possible, please trust us."

At this moment, in the office of the president of the Clover Guild, Wilde, who had fought side by side with Levi, was trying to convince Mars with a fierce attitude.

"Wilde, I have confirmed your identity. The workers' revolt that the fraternity participated in seven months ago in the Fog Core neighborhood of the lower district seems to have been organized by you, right? The Brotherhood was already designated a terrorist organization three months ago, and according to the news now, your Brotherhood is very suspicious of this cyborg rebellion in the Clover community, so why should I believe you? ”

President Mars, dressed in a gray suit and meticulously combed hair, looked at Wilde with his hands folded on the table and his eyes sharp.

Wilde spread his hands and said, "It's true that I was involved in organizing the workers' uprising, but that has always been the purpose of the Brotherhood, and I fought for my ideas, and I don't think I did anything wrong." If President Mars is hostile to our Brotherhood, and even truly believes that we are a terrorist organization and that we orchestrated the Clover Cyborg Rebellion, then I have nothing to say. You can tie me up and send me to KSS, and maybe even get it back for a medal. ”

The difference in identity and strength between the two is huge, but Wilde does not show any humility in front of Mars, and he is upright.

Mars stared at Wilde and did not speak for a moment.

Wilde continued: "Dear President Mars, I know that you have helped the poor many times, and that you have fought side by side with Comrade Sun Miao, and you should understand the philosophy of our brotherhood. I assure you that this cyborg biochemical riot was definitely not caused by us. ”

Sun Miao, whom Wilde mentioned, was a well-known figure in some circles, one of the high-ranking members of the Brotherhood, and his strength was high, at least not much worse than Mars.

Mars did have a history of fighting alongside the Brotherhood, but that didn't mean he would unconditionally approve of what Wilde said. He continued: "Then why did the news report plant this on your head?" It is true that the mouthpieces of these aristocrats and capitalists are very implausible, but there are so many cults and terrorist organizations that can be planted, why do they have to be planted on your heads? Can you tell me why? ”

Wilde was silent for a moment and said, "This biochemical research center of Blackbird Heavy Industries, in fact, we have been staring at it for a long time. They grab strange beasts and monsters for semi-mechanized transformation, which is nothing to say. However, directly carrying out human body transformation is too much to break the bottom line. In the lower districts, outside the cities, I don't know how many families have been affected by their ......"

Mars interrupted, "As far as I know, most of the 'volunteers' recruited by Blackbird Heavy Industries are outsiders recruited from outside the city of Westdum. ”

Wilde laughed and said, "'Volunteers'? President Mars, if I were you, I wouldn't use that word. There were no volunteers at all, just poor people who couldn't survive. ”

"You know how bad the environment outside the city is, Blackbird Heavy Industries uses all kinds of methods to trick people into so-called 'volunteers', and then transform them into tireless, firmly controlled cyborgs, engaged in all kinds of hard and tiring work, and never see the light of day. Moreover, the people they brought in were not only those poor people outside the city, but also some bankrupt and nowhere to go in the lower districts, and they were also deceived in the name of recruiting workers and the like. ”

Having said so much in one breath, Wilde's face turned a little red.

Mars didn't say anything, just handed him a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water, Wilde calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, President Mars, I'm a little emotional. ”

"It's okay, you go on."

Wilde put down the glass and said, "Two years ago, we had our eyes on this biochemical research center of Blackbird Heavy Industries. We started with many legal means in the hope of exposing and banning this horrific and inhumane place, but with little success. We can only choose to use other means, hoping to save more people, and when we are sure, directly destroy this biochemical research center. ”

"But this time it has nothing to do with us. The last time we did it was a month ago, when we intercepted a cartload of poor people they had brought in. The destruction of the biochemical research center has not even been officially planned. ”

Wilde's words made Mars think.

There are many poor people in the lower districts, but there are also many poor people outside the megacity of Westdum.

The situation of ordinary people living outside the megacity is even more miserable than that of people in the lower districts. At least, the lower districts are still within the city, and there are not so many security threats.

Without the protection of the city, living in small settlements and small towns, these civilians are powerless to resist disasters in all their forms.

Poor, ignorant, and without any skills, they can only survive by planting on dilapidated land and working in unsafe black-hearted factories.

The reason why Blackbird Heavy Industries' goal of transforming the human body and manufacturing half-mechanical cheap workers is mainly aimed at these inferior people is because they are the best targets in the world. No one will speak for them except for organizations like the Brotherhood.

Of course, the poor people in the lower districts are not much better, but after all, they are in the city, and it is not good to make too much noise.

Mars had also heard about the interception of the pauper a month earlier. His own sources of intelligence were also sure that what Wilde said should be true.

Who doesn't want justice to be done, to extinguish that evil research center, to put an end to this catastrophe? Even if Wilde doesn't come, it is estimated that after a while, after the cyborg monsters of Clover and Merlin Avenue have been almost cleared, the guild will launch a general attack on the research center.

But the question now is whether or not the Clover Guild will work with these fraternities, who have been defined by the government as terrorists and even the basins of this cyborg riot.

Mars is no longer a hot-blooded young man, he rarely shows his emotions and thinks about things now, and rarely starts from emotions.

The Hunters' Guild and the government composed of nobles and capitalists do not deal with it in many places, but after all, it is a formal organization. He believed that the Brotherhood should be clean in this matter, but he had to consider the implications of working with them.

"Working with a Brotherhood is a big reputational risk, but what do we gain? This is where you have to convince me, not just tell me about my feelings. ”

That's the most important thing.

Hearing what Mars said, Wilde was a little disappointed.

"Isn't it important to solve this disaster as soon as possible?"

"No, it's important." Mars said, "But even without you, we witchers can solve problems. So, why should I work with you guys? ”

Wilde was silent for a moment, and said, "I know you can solve it yourself, but time will be slow. You have to slowly find out the situation and get information, and besides, that research center is not so easy to breach. And if you cooperate with us, we have first-hand information, and at the same time, we also have comrades in the research center who are lurking in it, and will help us when we attack, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties. ”

Mars nodded and said, "You've managed to convince me, let's make a detailed battle plan together later." ”

……

While Marles and Wilde were discussing the next big thing, Levi had just visited a friend under the leadership of Cai Yutong.

The famous broker and merchant of the Clover Guild, Zhu Mingyu.

Zhu Mingyu was also a hunter - and still is, but he rarely goes out to do any commissions. At the age of forty, he opened a general grocery store next to the Clover Guild building, selling everything, but not much of it was his own, but all kinds of things consigned by hunters.

Somebody sells things from him, and somebody buys from him, and he makes a difference in the middle.

Li Wei threw more than 30 secondary puncture bullets he made last night to Zhu Mingyu for consignment.

"Yu Tong, when I saw you coming, I thought there was a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be just such a thing......" Zhu Mingyu obviously didn't like Li Wei's bullet.

Cai Yutong said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, although Li Wei has just started in the technique of engraved bullets, his talent is very strong, and he will probably be your big customer in the future, don't underestimate him." ”

"Oh? Is it? Zhu Mingyu was a little more serious, he knew Cai Yutong's level, not to mention anything else, it was her talent in the chain of will, which was destined that she would definitely be a very good demon pattern master in the future. And the person she praises is not a small role in comparison.

He took the bullet box handed by Li Wei, counted the number, checked the condition, and then said, "Generally speaking, one of these secondary puncture bullets is a relatively normal price. Recently, the price of munitions has risen relatively fast, and now I estimate that your bullet can be sold for 100 white crystals, and I will charge 5% of the handling fee, no problem, right? ”

"No problem." Levi nodded, this is considered the handover.

With more than 30 bullets, it is already a good income to be able to sell 30 blue crystals. Levi now has six magazines in his possession, and all the other bullets have been sold.

Thirty aquamarines, he can use them to supplement another batch of materials, enough for him to make another two or three hundred secondary carved bullets, and he can also pay for a few more days.

But the economic crisis has at best been somewhat relieved, and it is far from over. Levi has even considered that the next time he completes the hunting commission, can he replace it with a shot of C-grade gene fluid and sell it? Changing hands to the black market, it is an income of at least twenty or thirty, or at most forty or fifty amethyst.

Come to think of it, it's really a good way out. Take out the time to make bullets, even if you can't get a C-grade gene liquid, a D-grade one shouldn't be a big problem, and if you exchange it for money, there will be one or two amethysts.

But the problem is that one or two amethysts that have been bought at the expense of making bullets will have to be taken out to buy bullets in the future, and the rest can be used by themselves. The key is that the risk is still great, don't think it's really easy to go out and hunt monsters, D-class commissions also have to go through life and death struggles, often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and if you don't do it, you will capsize in the gutter.

Moreover, is it true that a D-class commission is a D-class? From time to time, there are cases where the danger of intelligence mistakes has increased dramatically, and if you don't do it well, you may fall into danger at any time, and you may be seriously injured or even killed at any time.

That's the danger of the hunter industry.

Thinking about it, Levi felt that he had better be able to find other ways to make money.

……

In the days that followed, Levi maintained a team with Cai Yutong, occasionally Bandari and Qian Long would join in, and Cai Yutong would sometimes pull Wells along.

Maintain a team of as little as two and as many as five, and they have been operating at the junction of Clover Community and Merlin Avenue for the past few days. I didn't encounter any difficult enemies, and I didn't encounter any additional commissions, just hunt some cyborg monsters, and then go back with the hunting voucher to redeem points and get rewards.

Levi didn't work as hard as he did in the days when the region-wide hunting commission was first released.

That kind of desperateness shouldn't be the norm. The hunter industry is not a safe business, and it does not mean that the harder and more you accept the job, the better. Fatigue and toil, these are nothing, but the threat of death and injury threatens the hunters all the time.

This region-wide hunt is indeed a carnival for all the witchers of Clover and even the entire city of Westdum, but under this carnival, what about the casualties of the hunters?

In the frenzy, few people would care about this, but Levi would not ignore it.

So far, more than forty Demon Hunters of all levels have died and more than fifty have been seriously injured in the region-wide hunting missions.

That's not a small number anymore.

At first, his mentality was a little unbalanced, but now he has adjusted. He didn't want to be on the casualty list, so now that he was out hunting monsters, he was always vigilant enough no matter what kind of enemy he faced.

This undoubtedly made him a little less profitable than before, but at least his security was better guaranteed, and he didn't make himself too embarrassed.

After three days, he got a lot of points, and exchanged these points for a few C-level flesh cores, which were poured into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, advancing the unsealing progress on the tenth page to about half of the level.

At the same time, he once again injected a C-class gene fluid, and used the 'Heart of Steel' exercise method to improve the development progress of the power chain and the hub chain.
