Chapter 278: Trust?
Not far from Kyoto City, the southern part of HB City is a vast jungle, due to its complex and varied terrain, countless ravines and hills, and the road is quite rugged and difficult to navigate, even a veteran who has been in the jungle for a long time may get lost, let alone ordinary people, and after ten minutes of throwing it into the jungle, it is 100% overwhelming.
Therefore, except for some hired explorers, who still haunt it from time to time, there is basically no one else to be seen.
This time, the first task Luo Hao chose for their team was in this primeval jungle.
······
"Brother Hao! Zhao Xishan's people are too much! The expedition is going in the wrong direction, and with so much time wasted hunting wild beasts and collecting plants, I don't think they have the slightest intention of completing the mission! ”
At the end of the day's expedition, Luo Hao's expedition team had just returned to the camp from outside, Fang He and Qin Yao didn't even rest for a while, they came directly to Luo Hao's tent and complained to him.
"What's going on?"
Putting down the terminal in his hand, Luo Hao raised his head and looked at the two people with unhappy faces, and wondered.
"Today, Sister Qin and I followed Zhao Xishan and them to find the swamp rhinoceros, which was quite normal at first, but then ······"
Hearing Luo Hao's question, Fang He naturally opened the conversation box and began to tell Luo Hao about what happened this day.
Luo Hao's mission was issued by a local scientific research laboratory in Kyoto City, and they wanted the horns of three swamp rhinos as biological research materials, so the main goal was to hunt swamp rhinoceros, which was indeed no problem.
As a low-level king-level beast, the swamp rhinoceros is actually not too strong in combat, even if Luo Hao doesn't make a move, these explorers in his team can deal with it.
But the key is that this swamp rhinoceros is indeed a little too difficult to find, although in terms of habits, the swamp rhinoceros does live in the swamp, but not every swamp has a swamp rhinoceros, and his existence is actually quite rare.
Generally, the reason why people who choose this task can't complete it is not because they can't beat the beast, but more often than not, they haven't touched the shadow of the swamp rhinoceros from beginning to end, and Luo Hao and their task this time is to find all three heads, and the difficulty can be imagined.
But it was such a difficult task, Zhao Xishan and the others were still hunting other beasts on the road, completely ignoring the search for the target beast, and the probability of completing the task on time was much lower.
"Moreover, they don't even let me touch Sister Qin when they hunt wild beasts, saying that they can't explain to you if they are afraid that we will be injured, I think they are simply afraid that the two of us will share his materials, which is really shameless enough."
Speaking of this, even Qin Yao, who usually rarely showed other emotions, showed a very disgusted expression, it seemed that this time he was really disgusted by the actions of Zhao Xishan and others.
"Well, I know everything, you're tired for a day, so let's rest for a while."
Luo Hao nodded, motioned for the two of them to do next to him, and began to wait quietly for the other people to arrive.
When the expedition team goes out on a mission, except in a few cases, it is absolutely necessary to have an evening meeting in the evening to summarize the day's harvest and prepare for the next day's mission.
This is the norm in this line of work, and it is something that every explorer must follow.
An hour later, although reluctant, Zhao Xishan and the others still came to Luo Hao's tent slowly.
Several people saw that Luo Hao didn't even bother to say hello, so they directly found a place to sit down casually, and stared at Luo Hao dryly.
Seeing the performance of a few people, Luo Hao didn't care, but after processing part of the work on the terminal, he turned his attention to a few people.
"Do you have anything to say about today's expedition?"
Luo Hao's gaze finally fell on Zhao Xishan, and he slowly spoke.
Through this period of observation, Luo Hao has found that among these new explorers, it seems that an independent small group has been formed.
And although Zhao Xishan is not the strongest in this group, he somehow became the core figure, so it is much more useful to choose to talk to him directly than to talk to him.
"I think it's okay, except for the fact that I haven't found any clues about the swamp rhinoceros for the time being, the rest of the harvest is not bad."
Zhao Xishan took a sip of the tea he brought and replied casually.
"Huh! You've learned a lot, but have you thought about our schedule? ”
Fang He sneered twice, and asked with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
"Of course I've thought about this!"
As soon as Fang He finished speaking, Zhao Xishan immediately replied, his eyes were cold, and he continued: "Lao Tzu has been in this industry for so many years, and he has completed more tasks than you have eaten, and it is not your turn to tell me how to do tasks." ”
"It's really 'mixed' good, otherwise how could he still be a third-level explorer after seven or eight years, it's really powerful!"
The corners of Fang He's mouth twitched, and his eyes showed a little disdain.
"Captain Luo, you brought this kid here, you'd better take care of him. If he doesn't cooperate with me like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of him when I go on expeditions in the future, and it won't be good if I accidentally let him have an accident. ”
Zhao Xishan didn't argue with Fang He anymore, but directly handed the conversation to Luo Hao, and said in a weird way.
"You ······"
"Fang He!"
Seeing that Fang He still wanted to fight back, Luo Hao directly stopped him and shook his head.
"You just said that you already have an adventure plan in your heart, I don't know what kind of plan it is, let's study it."
A smile appeared on Luo Hao's face, and then he asked Zhao Xishan.
"I don't think so."
Zhao Xishan looked very calm and relaxed, and shook his head calmly.
"I've done not a hundred but eighty of these difficult object hunting expeditions, and I'm still very confident in completing the task, and there is no need to discuss it with others."
"So, if you search the way you did, you'll be able to complete the mission before the deadline, right?"
Luo Hao's eyes narrowed, and then asked.
"Of course."
Zhao Xishan affirmed.
"Okay, then you can do it your own way, and I'll wait here for your good news."
Luo Hao was quite open-minded, and directly let Zhao Xishan and a few people deal with it by themselves.
······
"Brother Hao, do you really believe that Zhao Xishan and the others will honestly complete the task?"
Seeing Zhao Xishan and several people walking out of the tent proudly, Fang He asked Luo Hao with a puzzled expression.
"Of course not."
Luo Hao smiled and shook his head.
Although most explorers attach more importance to guarantees, at that time, for an old fritter like Zhao Xishan, making a promise was like letting out a fart, and Luo Hao naturally couldn't believe that he would really complete the task by then.
"Then why ······"
"You don't have to worry about this for the time being, and you'll know when the time comes."
Luo Hao returned his gaze to Fang He and Qin Yao, and then said:
"From tomorrow onwards, you two don't have to search with them, just find some wild beasts in the mountains near the camp to practice fighting and actual combat skills, just pay attention to your own safety."
"But ······"
Fang He was still a little worried.
"You guys go back first, I still have some work to take care of."
Seeing Luo Hao's attitude so firm, Fang He and Qin Yao didn't say anything more, but just left with a little unease.
After everyone left, only Luo Hao himself was left in the tent, and he still took out the terminal from his pocket again as if nothing had happened, called up a large string of data, and continued to calculate.
(The third is business as usual····· )
