Chapter Seventy-Five: Hidden Strength
Chapter Seventy-Five: Hidden Strength
Anson's weapon is a double knife, and when the two ion machetes are wielded, they are as terrifying as a meat grinder, and the disadvantage is that as a one-handed weapon, the destructive power is obviously insufficient, and the powerful mecha is rarely used.
Anson will not be stupid enough to give up lethality, the spotlight halberd behind the mecha is not a decoration, with the help of the cover of the fire bull, he quickly killed next to the assault boat, and in an instant he changed to the spotlight halberd, stabbing and picking, leaving a cross wound on the surface of the armor, when the explosion occurred, he changed to a double knife again, and left freely.
The layman may look wonderful, but Chen Fang knows that this is not the strength of a quasi-fifth-order mercenary, and An Xun can approach the assault boat without the cover of a heavy mecha.
Linnie's performance is no slouch, strangely close, one-hit kill, and each of her appearances represents the end of a pirate mech, which she quickly fades away and then reappears.
The battle was similar to what was expected, and there was no point in watching it, so Chen Fang withdrew his gaze and slept.
There were screams in the cabin, the students could not see the doorway, the hundred and ten pirates were defeated by six mercenaries in the blink of an eye, this spectacle made them unbelievable, the mercenaries' unparalleled performance conquered them, in contrast, the actual combat of the academy was purely pediatric, while watching the battle, they began to guess the mercenaries corresponding to each mecha.
Zhang Ting's face is not good-looking, to become a member of the team of Taoist aid, you must abandon the concept of race and camp, whether it is nobles, the poor, even rebels, pirates must be treated equally, it is because of this belief that humanitarian aid can be widely recognized.
It is probably the first time in history that the rescue team has taken the initiative to attack the pirates, and once this incident is publicized, it will definitely become a scandal, and the rescue operation is very likely to die in the middle of the operation, so she must come up with a satisfactory explanation.
Lu Lingxue was still as calm as water, unconsciously, her eyes fell to the back cabin.
Sometimes, the ordinary performance is a sign of the extraordinary, the threat of pirates, the excellent performance of mercenaries, these are enough to excite people. Chen Fang was as lazy as usual, when watching the battle, he yawned from time to time, and finally fell asleep, could it be that such a wonderful battle was not attractive to him at all?
People who don't know the details must think that he is hopeless when they see Chen Fang's performance, but Lu Lingxue is the one who knows the details, she knows that this person is not a waste material, during the actual combat course, the person who drove the skull splitter is this person, and the terrible feeling of absolute suppression is like a nightmare.
Bizarrely, the Skullsplitter showed her flaws when she was in despair, as if she felt a glimmer of light in the darkness, and she uncontrollably used her strongest burst technique, and the battle ended, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that it was intentional.
Since it was not a waste material, Chen Fang's performance was incredible, and she was embarrassed to find that the mystery of this strange man aroused her curiosity.
One hundred and twelve mechs, three assault boats, and six minutes and forty-nine seconds of fighting, this is a shameful achievement, if the opponent is not a pirate, but a rebel, he has already been hunted down at this moment.
The rebels numbered at least three hundred, their forts were stronger than assault boats, and their well-trained and familiarity with the terrain was also an advantage for them, and seven minutes was enough for them to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Anson and the others, who had returned triumphantly, did not see any joy, nor did they ignore the admiring gazes of the students, and after sending away Susan's complaints, they returned to their seats in frustration and began to plot again.
A week later, the rescue team arrived at Xiunanxing, and the spacecraft landed in a dilapidated airport with rudimentary facilities, which at first glance knew was improvized.
The sound of explosions in the distance from time to time seemed to remind the trainees that this was the closest airport to the war zone, and that it could be attacked by rebels at any time, and the atmosphere of the rescue team became tense.
"Crossing these two mountains is the village of Shire, which is the first relief point of this trip, everyone hurry up." Zhang Ting was busy nervously, the situation in Xiu Nanxing was becoming more and more tense, she decided not to be too close to any party, and after counting the number of people and items, she immediately urged the team members to go on the road.
After two weeks of physical training finally came in handy, after the fighting destroyed roads and communications, and the rescue team had to trek on foot.
The mercenaries were temporarily divided into two groups, Anson's men were exploring the way ahead, and Linnie and the others were responsible for the back.
Chen Fang hung at the back of the team as always, just walking with the mercenaries behind the mat, and since he always did, no one felt strange.
In fact, it is not easy to put it down, although a large number of medical equipment is stored in the space, each person still has about 20 kilograms of weight, don't underestimate this inconspicuous burden, it is unbearable for a long time.
Chen Fang was miserable, stubbornly insisted, the damn fire cow didn't know where he went, he was embarrassed to find a woman to help carry the bag, not to mention, Linnie didn't talk to him after she appeared, her face was frosty at the moment, and it was boring to make this kind of request.
Helplessly, the backpack on the shoulders became heavier and heavier, the mountain road was trekking, every time it was bumpy, the bag seemed to be pressed directly on the bones, and in a moment, the sweat soaked through the clothes, and after a fierce ideological struggle, Chen Fang decided to summon the fire ox.
As soon as I turned on the communicator, I suddenly felt a light shoulder and my bag was in Linny's hand.
Chen was relieved, and even though he knew that it was probably boring for himself, he still expressed his gratitude.
"What do you think of this mission?" Linnie has too many questions in her mind, and the most important thing is the task after all.
"It's very tempting, I've checked the mission menu, and there is not only a billion bonus for killing Aturu, but also a C-level special mission reward, and his right-hand man also has a 300 million bonus each, and a D-level special mission reward." These rewards are enough to reinvent the team, and it is even possible to be promoted again, but Chen Fang never substitutes the element of speculation when he speaks, and he does not like to exaggerate.
"What do you think we have to do? With our strength, it will be difficult to deal with the squad of rebels. The task I asked was how to deal with the rebels. Linnie was shocked by Chen Fang's ambition again, but it is better to be realistic, ordinary people are unrealistic at most, and the price paid by mercenaries is life.
"Squad rebels? If it's that kind of garbage mission, why would Anson want to team up with me? Don't you see that? In the fight against the pirates, his team didn't give it their all. Thinking of his ally's clumsy performance, Chen Fang sneered.
"You also let us hide our strength, I don't understand, what is the purpose of this?" Before facing the pirates, Chen Fang quietly told Linnie in a private voice to ask her to pay attention to hiding her strength, although Linni knew the reason, she still complied, and at this moment she just asked the reason.
"Before accepting teammates, we have to test our strength first, and the same is true for choosing a team to work with, if Anderson thinks we are not strong, he is likely to give up cooperation." Chen Fang thought for a while, as if he was recalling the situation at that time, Anson's performance had the heaviest traces, the fast knife was even more outrageous, and the level displayed was the same as that of the third-order mercenary, the only one who was more real was Yao Jia, maybe she was aroused by Chen Fang's exclusion and resentment, so she ignored Anson's order; Maybe she thought that the two sniper mechs firing at the same time would not reveal her strength, or she didn't want to lose to the Thunderbolt Bee, but she didn't know that Chen Fang had already reminded her teammates early in the morning to hide her strength.
It was a hypocritical performance, so much so on both sides that Chen lost interest in watching the battle at the end.
"What does this have to do with hidden strength? If you test it, isn't it to show strength? The more Linny listened, the more confused she became.
"Why did Anson test us? Because he and we are not all the way, if he finds out the strength, what hole cards do we have? Who knows if he's using us as cannon fodder? Only by hiding the strength can it be possible to leave a part of the power as a bargaining chip for a turnaround. ”
Chen Fang suddenly realized that letting his teammates know that he was a cunning and suspicious guy was definitely not the work of smart people, so he justified himself and said: "The heart of defense is indispensable, right?" It is by no means noble to be completely unguarded against people, it is a fool. Trust between life and death is not just a pat on the shoulder and call brothers. ”
"Don't take people for fools, although I'm lucky not to have experienced that. I know that the first thing a mercenary has to learn when entering the industry is to betray his teammates, or be betrayed by his teammates. When faced with a life-and-death decision, let yourself survive, or let your teammates survive, no matter how you choose, it is right, not to mention the improvised team, who knows what Anson's motives are? Perhaps this is another reason why Linnie has been ostracizing her new teammates for a long time, and she doesn't want to betray her teammates or be betrayed by them.
Linny's luck comes from Tony, who defended his teammates with his life to forge the spirit of the team, and with Linny, this spirit will never die.
Chen Fang was also attracted by this team spirit, so he joined them, and when he charged, he also had to worry about being betrayed by his companions, which was not pleasant, and Chen Fang would rather choose a weaker team. What's more, Tony's vision is not bad, the strength of this mercenary group is not bad, although there are many problems, each member has good potential and quality, and is completely able to pile up with merit points and become a superior team.
"Oh my God, we have reached a consensus, which is a gratifying progress, a historic step." Chen Fang began to set it again, don't look at Linni who is cold on the surface, but the help she gives to her teammates is meticulous, and she must be thick-skinned when dealing with a woman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"We blindly conceal our strength, what should we do if Anson is disappointed? A shot and a break is not the result you want. "Linny automatically filters out the nonsense and asks the questions that matter most.
"I'm free to do it." Unconsciously, someone's old mistake has been made again, and he has no teammates in his eyes.
Chen Fang's blunt telling the truth is indeed very uncomfortable, but his image in Linnie's mind is not only not discounted, but adds points, the truth is originally ugly, and trying to cover it up is hypocrisy, he at least did it honestly, and his approach was to protect his teammates. Therefore, Linnie still admired it, so she didn't care about his nonsense, and decided to indulge him a little.
When she was in Hall, Chen Fang not only won her trust, but also made her feel dependent. A woman like Linni, once she becomes dependent on a man, it is difficult to change, she is not worried about Chen Fang's motives, nor does she doubt Chen Fang's ability, anyway, sooner or later she will know, why bother? However, she still didn't dare to think about such a difficult task as killing Aturu.
Stepping into the war zone, the rescue team can meet the wounded from time to time during the march, and more are corpses, Zhang Ting regardless of the identity of the wounded, as long as they are still alive, they will be treated, which will undoubtedly slow down the trip.
Whether it is seeing a corpse or a dying person, Anson is indifferent, especially when he sees the rescue team saving soldiers, he feels funny, and his eyes are full of disdain, which is called hypocrisy.
War is crazy, Xiu Nanxing has experienced a hundred years of war, and the humanity of soldiers has long been distorted, whether it is a government army or a rebel, in the eyes of civilians, they are all devils and executioners. Every time an executioner is saved, more corpses, widows, and orphans will be created for Shunan Star.
As a mercenary, Anson does not believe in the fraternity of humanitarian aid, so when he has the opportunity, he will turn dying soldiers into corpses first, and do some good deeds for the civilians of Xiunanxing, of course, his motivation is mainly to save time.
No matter how secretive he is, it is inevitable that he can see some clues on the corpse, and Zhang Ting quickly became suspicious.
When he tried to kill a government soldier, he was finally caught red-handed by Zhang Ting and others, and an unpleasant quarrel broke out.
It doesn't make sense to reason with women, and Anson is not good at quarreling, so in desperation, he pulled out the old ones in the pile.
"You are a student and a member of the rescue team, so it is better for you to be fair."
"What's my business?" Chen Fang regretted it, can't you stay away from the excitement? What are you doing so close?
Depressed, the women in the same company are very interested in Chen Fang's opinions, especially Susan, she clearly wants to see Chen Fang's ugliness.
This is not a question of right or wrong, but a matter of position, as a member of the rescue team, of course, I can't agree with the killing, not to mention that it is the government army who died, but from a personal point of view, Chen Fang is still inclined to Anson.
"Even if you want to kill someone, you should do it cleanly, and let people catch you red-handed, you are a fourth-order mercenary, is it a shame?" Chen Fang quietly sarcastically ridiculed An Xun a few times, taking it as a vent of anger, and then expressed his opinion.
"I think that God's work is God's." With Chen Fang's character and identity, there is no need to lie to make compromises, to curry favor with a female officer who rejects him, and the slightly implicit purpose is not to be used as a gun by Anson.
