Chapter 482: A New Commission
The figure flickered in the dim miner's light, Pan Lao leaned on the side wall of the mine, looking at the back of the Shu brothers disappearing at the end of the passage, panting heavily, after all, the lame still can't run sound, and using the light pressure rifle as a temporary crutch is not a long-term solution, hearing the faint sound of gunfire in the passage behind him, but as long as he can run past the person contaminated with pheromones, he breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for this emergency, the bottle of pheromones would definitely be contaminated with himself and the dumbfounded big shield at the right time, This is the final means of the Shu brothers, the glass bottle with pheromones, very good, these two bastards, one of the most vicious killing methods in the mine, those bugs will not be interested in equipment that is not contaminated with pheromones, when the insect swarm will eat the corpse and leave, and then come back to pick up the dropped equipment, especially their own light pressure gun, the Shu brothers must have this idea.
It seems that the gunfire is getting closer? Pan Lao's lame right hand quickly stretched out to the side of his right leg, and tightly grasped the grip of the point 38 revolver, his eyes narrowed, if you really escaped from behind, don't blame me, he listened intently, his eyes stared at the aisle where the gunshots came, huh? Another gunshot, accompanied by the familiar point 45 pistol sound, the gunfire of an iron pipe gun rang out intermittently, hey~ stupid boy! It's not saved, the survival of the underground mine is the first thing, and if you die, there is nothing, and sure enough, it is an idiot who went down the mine for the first time, but unfortunately there is no future......
"Why don't you run?" The erected shield was pressed down, and several beetles that tried to crawl from the ground were directly killed by the lower edge of the shield, Lin Ze glanced at the big boy in blue who was flying all over the sky with bullets, and the boys ran over, but when he saw that Lin Ze didn't follow, he ran back again, and took the iron pipe gun to aim and shoot in a panic.
"Old~ Daddy said that throwing ~ abandoning teammates is a coward's doing, I~ I ...... Be brave", the big boy panicked and broke off the empty iron barrel gun magazine to replace the bullets.
Lin Ze was noncommittal, until now, he had emptied the bullets of the 3 pistol magazines, leaving only one magazine of ordinary bullets and one magazine of armor-piercing bullets, and the beetles around him almost did not decrease, he did not shoot again, the pistol retracted the holster, Lin Ze easily pulled out the dagger he carried with him, and he looked at the big boy who had not changed the magazine again.
Suddenly, with a kick of his footsteps, he moved, and the fourth-order power swung his shield with all his strength to bring up the evil wind, and these mutant beetles that were barely considered second-order almost died when they touched it.
The boy who had just changed the magazine was stunned, and the beetles that pounced on him flew out like flying petals, smashed into the inner wall of the passage and fell, convulsed a few times and did not move, and almost could not get up again, what was the situation?
The surface and edge of the pure metal shield have become weapons, and the kinetic energy of blunt damage directly acts on the internal organs through the beetle's shell, Lin Ze faced the beetle tide step by step upstream, killing the beetle at a speed that greatly exceeded the speed at which the beetle surged over, and the air was filled with a strange smell, mixed with gunpowder and a strange fishy smell.
The iron pipe gun in the hand of the big boy in blue was raised and put down, looking at Lin Ze's swaying back, completely overwhelmed, just when he was in a daze, a sneaky shadow climbed up along the wall, already close to the top of the big boy's head, this is a beetle that was not photographed by Lin Ze's shield, it was knocked away by its companions just now, and it only came out again at this moment.
It was too late for the big boy to find a beetle flying towards his face, the black shadow pressed his face, it was over, the big boy only had time to reach out in vain to cover his face, closed his eyes tightly, for a long time, the expected bite pain did not come, the big boy opened his eyes, turned his head around to look for it, and found a beetle nailed to the wall by a dagger, it was a dagger thrown by Lin Ze, and the huge force made the dagger penetrate the beetle deep into the rock wall.
"If you close your eyes and don't look at it, it doesn't mean that the attack will disappear, remember it in the future, you can make the right response in the face of danger, you have to strengthen your training in this area", the beetle tide receded, Lin Ze walked back leisurely without chasing, took his dagger from the wall and wiped it clean and inserted it back into the sheath.
"I~ I'll work hard, this~ How did this beetle retreat, isn't there a pheromone?"
"Who knows, it is estimated that this bottle of pheromones is coming from the wrong way, and they have bought a fake", Lin Ze pretended to be stupid, did he tell the boy that he used his mental power to isolate pheromones, or did he want to give him a science popularization of the pheromones that ordinary insects will release to the same kind after they die, another pheromone that represents the meaning of danger, "Okay, don't be stunned, this time you have commendable courage, but you didn't kill a beetle, if you still want to be paid, then it's time for you to collect and dispose of these beetles, Just put the knowledge you heard along the way into practice. ”
"Yes, I~ I'll go right away", the beetles killed just now were densely piled up in the narrow passage, the big boy didn't say anything and immediately started to act, and when he walked away, Lin Ze began to deal with the pheromones on his shoes......
It's been a long time since the gunfire stopped, so those beetles shouldn't be there, right? Pan Lao lame touched back to the place where he fought just now, he smelled the smell in the air, yes, it should be here, but what about the corpse? There is no way out for him to go down the mine this time, he must not go back empty-handed, he can't do anything in the face of the sea of beetles, he had an idea after seeing the Shu brothers throw out pheromones, that is, to come back in advance before the two brothers to pick up the corpses, especially the silver pistol, which must be worth a lot of money.
"Click~"
"What are you looking for?" After the crisp sound of loading in the dark corner, a playful voice rang out, "If I were you, I would remove my right hand from the handle of the revolver, or ~ you're blocking, blocking my pistol with all the bullets." ”
Not dead? Impossible, Pan Lao's lame face changed drastically, although he couldn't see it in the dimness, he let go of his right hand, and his body slowly turned to the direction where Lin Ze's voice came from, "Too~ Great, are you all right?" I thought ~"
"You think you're going to come back and pick up my gun? Hehe, are you really lame or pretending to be lame, were you very numb when you ran away just now~" The muzzle of the pistol was still aimed at Pan Lao's lame head, and it seemed that it could be fired in the next moment.
"Damn, you can't blame me for this, in the face of the tide of insect swarms, there are two ill-intentioned guys next to us, what can the three of us do? What can a bolt-action rifle, a point 38, a point 45 pistol, without continuous suppression of fire! Pan Lao lame realized the danger and didn't dare to hold back any longer, so he said it like a cannon.
"It makes sense, for the sake of you not being hostile along the way", Lin Ze smiled and put away his pistol, "But because you escaped, this harvest will not be yours." ”
At this time, Pan Lao lame noticed the two world-sized cloth bags beside Lin Ze, my God, could it be that they were full of beetles? He seemed to suddenly remember something, "Wait, I have something that will interest you." ”
"Shh~ Wait a while, someone is here again!" Lin Ze interrupted suddenly.
The passage was quiet again, quietly, even the sound of breathing was very low, just when Pan Lao couldn't bear to ask questions, finally, not far from the corner rock wall at the end of the passage, two sneaky black shadows shook slightly, he was shocked, is someone really coming? It must be the Shu brothers, how could it be possible to hear it so far away?
Shu Ye and Shu Hu squatted on the ground and carefully identified the footprints, which were the footprints of Pan Cripple's return, they looked up at each other in tacit understanding, did not speak, and then quietly continued to touch forward, just past the corner, before they could see clearly whether there were beetles on this side of the passage, the pistol sounded......
……
The general hall of Mine 12 was more crowded than before, it was noisy and noisy, full of rude laughter mixed with the sound of wine glasses, but it could not erase the occasional flash of sadness on the faces of most of the mercenaries, the depths of the mine were becoming more and more dangerous, and the peripheral mercenaries who were desperate for their lives could only gather in the hall to eat, drink and fight, waiting for the latest news from the Prisoner Mercenary Team.
"Look! Who's back! Suddenly, a table of mercenaries sitting at the entrance of the hall shouted.
"They actually came back", due to the gambling game, many people's eyes immediately turned to Lin Ze and his party.
"What about the Shu brothers, why didn't you see them?"
"What's in those two big bags they're carrying? Ore? ”
"Something is wrong, wait, look at the gun in Xiao Lanlan's hand, isn't that the Shu brothers' point 45 automatic rifle, the recoil suppression butt on the gun is still the last time the Shu brothers borrowed money from me to buy it, this is impossible!"
"Really! It's over, how is the gamble calculated? ”
Lin Ze and the others didn't go to the underground base of the prisoner in the E cave, and they didn't plan to exchange anything there, so they simply went back to the mine hall directly, ignoring the peripheral mercenaries who were coaxing around, and the three of them walked straight to the task bar in the hall, where they usually received tasks and sold carapaces.
"First of all, we don't accept any ore here," the prisoner mercenary at the bar said, glancing at the swollen bag.
"Just collect the beetle shells, and a small number of intact beetle carcasses."
"Oh? This way, please come in! "After the acquisition of the bar, there is a passageway, which is obviously a separate compartment, which guarantees privacy for both sides in the large-scale trade-off process.
"I went in, it turned out to be a beetle shell, I'm afraid the Shu brothers planted it this time", the curious eyes in the hall followed Lin Ze's back until they disappeared into the aisle.
"I often walk by the river, I always get my shoes wet, haha, today is really a good day, the Shu brothers have finally suffered retribution, I want to have a bottle of Black Jinggu beer to celebrate!"
So much? Oh, my God! The prisoner mercenary in charge of counting in the cubicle was shocked when he saw the carapace in the two bags, this was more than the total harvest of the joint operation of several teams last time, how could it be? He winked at one of the prisoner guards, who hurried away, "Your stuff is far beyond my authority, I've already asked the steward to go, may I ask, how did you hunt so many beetles?" ”
"It's just luck, by the way, the Shu brothers ran away after luring monsters in the battle, and used pheromones to plot against their teammates, and they have been killed by us, this is a video recording", this is what Pan Lao Lame used to exchange with Lin Ze for 2% loot reward, Lin Ze himself doesn't care whether he explains it or not, but for Pan Lao Lame, who is a veteran of Mine 12, he is very clear about the role of maintaining a good reputation, and he is more aware of the ways of the criminal prisoner mercenary team. He felt that there was a problem with the Shu brothers, so he kept using the video recording equipment he carried with him, which was originally used to excuse himself, and he happened to record the scene when the Shu brothers lost pheromones.
Lin Ze personally didn't bother to explain too much, for the size of beetles and mutant ants, ordinary people do have a headache, using gunpowder firearms to attack these carapace creatures with a certain bulletproof effect, there is a feeling of anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes, of course, the efficiency is not high, just like in the face of those mutant ants who nest underground in Fancheng, using blunt melee or biochemical agents is the most efficient way.
"Aha, as I expected, you really came back alive, I didn't expect to bring back so many things", Crazy Lu Li's voice sounded, seeing Lin Ze's gaze stop on his pair of mechanical prosthetics, he didn't care, "Don't be surprised, sometimes mechanical prosthetic legs are much better than real legs, wait a minute, I'll count your things, so many dark blue carapaces, ho, I'm afraid you're going to send it this time...... emmm, deduct half of the handed-in, a total of 86780, you are here for the first time, give you a whole calculation of your 87000. ”
Sizzle~ Pan Lao Cripple and the big boy took a breath of cold air together, so much, oh my God, although there were some guesses about the number of carapaces I had witnessed before, I was still surprised to hear the actual number I got in the end.
"Yes, just like that, just right, Pan Lao lame your 2%, that is, 3480, give you 3500, as for you, 5% is right, 8700, count you 9000, that 300 is a reward for your courage", Lin Ze settled the account on the spot, and then asked the prisoner mercenary to take out three special cards with the amount of money according to this distribution method.
Crazy Lu Li's eyes lit up when he listened to Lin Ze's distribution plan, and he seemed to understand something, "This is a lot of money, our little waiter, you have to take it, for the sake of safety, you must not tell others the real amount on the card", after speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Ze, "The good things you fancied with me last time, do you want to see them now?" ”
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and then his face returned to normal, "Well, just take advantage of the money in your hand, you guys disband first, and we'll see you in the hall if there is anything in the future, as for you, kid, you want to exercise yourself well, I'll teach you a way, you maintain the posture of lifting the gun and shooting, and then erect a cartridge case on the gun body, keep it stable and can't let the cartridge case fall off, until finally you can't stand it, you must insist on exercising every day, which will improve your willpower and shooting level." ”
"Thank you~ Thank you, sir, I will definitely do it!"
Seeing the two of them leave the cubicle, Lin Ze asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"You're very good, I felt it from the beginning, are you interested in making some extra money?" Mad Lu Li put away his cynical smile and his face became serious.
"Am I alone?"
"Fine, I can give you permission to act alone, this matter is very troublesome but important, and it is extremely urgent!"
Lin Ze's eyes lit up, and his plan took another step, "Then you talk about it, I'll think about it......"
