Chapter 8: The First Task
At the end of the assessment, I still have a lot of questions in my heart, recalling the first time I slashed and killed the P2 giant ape, that state was worrying, and sure enough, I was still affected by blood dust.
Tian Zang still didn't use the activity of blood dust in the end, and only relied on his strengthened body to easily defeat me, and at the moment he smashed the hunting knife, he used five points of strength, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, if it was an A-class hunter Xue Ji, I guess I wouldn't have the slightest power to fight back.
In order to welcome me as a member of the hunting team, coupled with what Tianzang did to me during the assessment, he personally cooked a very sumptuous welcome banquet, for this, in fact, I really don't care, but I have to thank him.
"By the way, why do you want Nine Blades to play the role of this bad guy?"
The wine was getting drunk, so I casually asked for a problem, because I was welcome as a newcomer today, and the boss rarely allowed everyone to drink and celebrate, in fact, more importantly, Victor and they have no tasks tomorrow.
"He's the right look." Victor laughed.
After hearing this, Chen Lan'er on the side hurriedly stood on the stool and beckoned Tianzang with her little hand,
"Brother Nine Blades, Brother Hayabusa said you look like a bad guy!"
"Eh, who said that!" Victor immediately refused to admit it, and Tianzang on the side had a drunken face on his face, and he probably didn't hear it at all.
"What I'm saying is that Jiudao has always been cool, and he doesn't talk much, so he must be better than us!"
Victor nodded vigorously,
"Little otter, are you okay with it? You're so cute, aren't you! ”
Hearing this, Chen Lan'er wrinkled her little nose, "Hmph, of course!" ”
We all laughed at her smug look.
Come to think of it, Victor has always been a hippie smiling character, and Shi Lei is honest, Xue Ji and Chen Xue'er are even worse, Xue Ji's level is not allowed, and Chen Xue'er obviously has violent tendencies, but Tianzang always gives people a cold feeling.
"You're right!" Victor was also a little drunk, "The flower crack is very violent, she is on it, the light is broken, the severe, you have to lie down for months." ”
"So serious!"
And Victor's words were heard by Chen Lan'er again, "Ah! Sister, they say you! ”
Seeing this, Victor covered her mouth with great speed.
"Woo!"
"Auntie, why do you like to sue so much!" Victor was a little miserable, "Don't say no." ”
Chen Lan'er shook her head.
"What are you two doing?" Chen Xue'er also looked at it, looking puzzled.
"Didn't do it, didn't do it." Victor quickly shook his head, and then leaned into Chen Lan'er's ear, muttered quietly, and saw her nodding, so he let go of his hand.
Chen Lan'er laughed happily, "Sister, it's nothing, he said you were beautiful, and he said he liked you." ”
"Huh!" Victor was stunned, "I didn't say it!" ”
And Chen Xue'er on the side, whose face was already dizzy with wine, turned even redder.
"What did you say to the otter, did she say that?" I asked curiously.
"I promised her to help her with her homework, but I didn't think she would say that." Victor also looked helpless.
"Do your homework!?" I was stunned for a moment, "She's still in school?" ”
"Of course, she's only nine years old, so naturally she has to learn."
Victor smiled,
"But with her status, it is impossible to go to the school in the security zone, although she would love to, and it has always been the adults in the branch who have been teaching her."
"That's right......" I felt a little sad when I heard this, she must have never seen what school was like.
"However, the boss is also helping her fight for it."
Victor looked at me with a melancholy expression on his face and leaned in and patted me on the shoulder,
"Don't worry, the little otter is everyone's darling, the pistachio of our team, and we will always help her fight for it."
Listening to his words, my heart felt better, Chen Lan'er on the side kept shuttling between everyone, for a while to paint a cat face for the confused Tianzang, and for a while to go to Xue Ji's place, let her feed her something to eat, making everyone laugh, like a little elf.
The welcome banquet lasted for two hours before it ended, looking at everyone's slightly drunk expressions, I also felt a burst of warmth, cleaned up, went back to the room and lay on the bed, remembering what happened in the past week, there was always a hint of dreamy feeling.
I was infected by a new type of blood dust, tried to be violent, and had self-awareness, but after that, the blood dust gradually disappeared, after a week of training, in the ability assessment, Tianzang deliberately threatened with death, so that I stimulated the activity of blood dust, and finally officially became a hunter.
However, what kind of existence am I, not an ordinary infected body, but I am not a stylized body, seven-pointed star blood dust, why did you choose me......
Because of the handing in of the data, two days later, the first task was quickly issued, and the high-level did not have any suspicions, and decided to put me into use immediately, it seems that they trust the information handed in by the boss very much.
If you think about it, this kind of thing is absolutely not to be sloppy.
My information was written into the Archives and I became the seventh hunter in Division 3, but I didn't have a code name because I wasn't at the same level.
"This mission is a regular mission, but it should not be taken lightly."
The boss said to us,
"The seven of you rushed to the Bay of Bengal and through the Indian Ocean to deploy large quantities of supplies to the Somali Peninsula in Africa."
The boss pointed to the map on the big screen and continued,
"This time the supplies are available for a quarter, which is very important."
"Why do we need to accompany the escorts?" I was puzzled.
I've heard from Victor that our main mission is to hunt down mutant infections, capture samples, and of course others, but most of them are within the contaminated area.
"Because we have to cross the Indian Ocean, some mutant infections in the sea are not something that ordinary firepower can deal with."
Chen Lan'er shook her little head and replied.
"It can be shipped by air."
"The climatic conditions have not allowed it in recent times, have you heard of the butterfly effect?"
Victor explained,
"In the polluted areas that have not been cleaned up, the blood and dust that has accumulated for three years still covers the ground, and even if there is a grid wall to isolate it, if there is a strong wind, it can fly like a sandstorm, and now it is impossible to go empty without the permission of the government."
"That's right."
BOSS put down the electronic remote control pen and sighed,
"Even if that is very rare, it has only happened a few times in more than 20 years, a hurricane of more than 12 has swept up the blood and dust in the polluted area, crossed the isolation net, and caused extremely serious damage, and the wind direction has been chaotic for a while recently, and it is impossible to travel on an empty road, okay, continue to ......"
After the details were finalized, the seven of them returned to the room to pack their things, and since it was my first mission, I didn't know what to bring.
"Just bring something to eat, we can't eat the same food as ordinary people." Victor replied, "The military will prepare other things for us when the time comes." ”
Simple preparation, everyone boarded the lifting passage, the first ride, naturally felt very fresh, I heard that the passage directly led to the ground, I couldn't help but smack my tongue, it's really long enough.
This is the first time I have left the underground in more than a month, and although I am probably mentally prepared for what is happening on the ground, I can't help but be taken aback when I arrive.
The round opening on the top pushed open a crescent moon, and the sunlight projected down, welcoming the long-lost sun, and the heart was warm, and after landing on the ground, there was a vast Gobi Desert all around.
"Here?"
Around the exit, the wilderness is yellow sand, uninhabited, not far away, but it is red.
"This is Lop Nur, it's secretive enough."
Looking at the vast sky, my mood at the moment is very complicated, I didn't expect that I would set foot on this land again in such an identity.
Gathering our minds, we began to run south, they were running so fast that I could barely keep up, and seven figures swept swiftly across the sand, only rolling up a faint amount of dust.
When I ran out of breath, I finally stopped, and I was panting with my hands on my knees, even after a hard workout.
There was an asphalt road lying on the vast Gobi, like a giant snake winding, everyone waited on the side of the road, and after a while, they saw a military vehicle driving from the distant horizon.
"He is worthy of being a soldier and is really punctual." Chen Xue'er looked at the time.
Looking up, the Humvee was moving so fast that it stopped in front of us in less than a minute.
Two officers walked down from the military vehicle, their military uniforms were very distinctive, they were almost fully wrapped, their faces were hidden in transparent masks, too, there was a piece of blood dust in the depths of the desert.
Looking at their epaulettes, two bars and three stars, I couldn't help but smack my tongue, they were all colonel-level officers.
The two saluted, and a thick voice came from the mask,
"Hello, is this the Third Division Cleaning Team, Captain Oakland Victor?"
Victor stepped forward and nodded,
"Why didn't you come with a beard this time?"
"Are you talking about Colonel Cowbeard? He died on his way home. ”
Victor tilted his head and smiled,
"Okay, the code name for this operation?"
"Sea Eagle!"
"yes, got it."
"Please arrive at the port by 3 o'clock in the afternoon on May 3rd."
After that, the two took out a big bag from the car, and Shi Lei stepped forward to take it, and all that was taken out was that kind of special military uniform.
Because stylization is a very confidential project, as a secret weapon of mankind, ordinary people only hear its name but do not see it.
Just like nuclear weapons, people know that the country has a nuclear bomb and that the power of the nuclear bomb is extremely terrifying, but it is impossible for the general public to see it.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, seven people need to blend in with the accompanying army.
In addition to a few sets of clothes, there were seven small bags containing things like flare guns and communicators.
Victor nodded, and the two colonels rode away quickly.
I watched the docking from the sidelines, and I wanted to ask Victor who Colonel Niuhu was, but when he learned the news of the colonel's death, his face still showed a little regret.
All six of them have unknown pasts, and in this world, death is a very mundane thing, and there is too much sadness.
