Chapter 23: The Third Task (1)
Chu Tianming glanced at Jiang Yuan and couldn't help but look happy. Liu Jian's determination to explode at this moment made his tongue not in vain for half a day. However, it is up to the captain to decide when a new mercenary joins the team.
Of course, Jiang Yuan didn't have any opinions, this was discussed at the beginning, but he just wanted to inspire Liu Jian's confidence in survival, as for whether he served the base or joined the mercenary team, it was all his own decision.
Now that he wants to join his team, Jiang Yuan is of course happy, but he still has some difficulties. Joining the squad meant that he had to work with his own people, but he was unarmoured, which was a problem.
"No problem, welcome to join." Jiang Yuan first happily agreed to Liu Jian's request to join the team, and then continued, "But you can't carry out the mission with us yet, there are many things that need to be done slowly, you better take care of your body first, and I'll see if I can help you get a pair of armor after a while." ”
Liu Jian nodded, wanting to find the murderer to avenge the villagers, he couldn't think of any other way than to join the mercenary team. Working for the base, he didn't even think about it, he knew that he wasn't that material.
Joining the team was just the beginning, and he knew that no team in this base was willing to accept him except for the Black Wolf team. He must have secretly made up his mind that he must improve his physical fitness first, and he will no longer have to drag the team backward or eat the team's idle meals.
"Take your time, there's no rush for this kind of thing." Jiang Yuan patted Liu Jian on the shoulder, and walked out of the tent after speaking.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Jiang Yuan took Liu Jian to the administrative hall, first went through the procedures for him to join the team, and hung up the number in the base. Then he sent Liu Jian back to the station, and he went to Mohr in exchange for a reward.
In less than half an hour, Jiang Yuan walked out of the administrative building with a smug face. He couldn't help but be unhappy, the process of exchanging rewards this time was extremely smooth, and the black-hearted Mohr didn't deduct their rewards this time.
Speaking of which, Moore also knows that this kind of reward written on paper cannot be deducted, after all, everyone has seen the task, and now that the black wolf team has really brought back food and supplies, if they don't give them their due, it is likely to cause many mercenary teams to be suspicious of the base, and it will outweigh the losses.
Another reason is food, what is the most expensive thing in the world today? It's definitely food! There may be no other supplies, but food is absolutely necessary. Before the Ministry of Scientific Research has found any alternative food to make people survive, they can only search for food that is still scattered in all corners.
The base under Moore's jurisdiction was already small, and the assistance from the higher bases was also limited, so most of the food had to rely on himself. The food brought back by the black wolf team this time largely solved the ration problem for the next few days.
Jiang Yuan grabbed the reward note signed by Mohr, went back to his station, called Chu Tianming Lao Pi and Lao Mai, and went to move things with him. Liu Jian automatically asked Ying to go with him, and Jiang Yuan also agreed.
Jiang Yuan can understand Liu Jian's approach, since he can't play any role in the task, then in such trivial matters, he must highlight his own role a little. Otherwise, if you don't do anything, you'll really be eating idle.
Jiang Yuan was rewarded with one-third of the food he had brought back, and he didn't move all the food back to his station. What he wants in exchange is a finished product, which does not need to be reprocessed by himself and can be eaten directly. I don't have the spare time to cook.
In addition to food, there is also fresh water that can be cited, which is now in extreme shortage. Groundwater can no longer be pumped out everywhere and rivers have dried up. Their current drinking water is filtered and purified through various channels. Although the taste is extremely unpleasant, it is a necessity for everyone.
It's just that even this stinky water is worth a lot of money, twice as much as the price of those foods. Others were exchanged for accessories on the armor, a communication device, two primary thrusters.
After exchanging these things, his rewards were already very small, but Jiang Yuan did not exchange the rest of them in one go, but kept them for emergencies.
Several people returned to the station with the supplies they had exchanged, and the food and drinking water were distributed to all the team members involved in the next mission, and Andrew's injuries were almost healed, and he also received a copy. As for Liu Jian, he also received one, but it was a minimum quota for various places. He doesn't need to perform tasks for the time being, it is enough to guarantee his life.
The communication device was given to Chu Tianming, Jiang Yuan Andrew and Lao Pi's armor was already there, and now there was one more option when they needed to group them to perform their tasks.
One of the thrusters was given to Lao Pi, he was the scout of the whole team, and the reconnaissance mission was actually very dangerous sometimes, many scouts were in front of the reconnaissance, and they were attacked for no reason, and they died.
One was given to Andrew, who was the one who rushed to the front of the whole team, in the noun of Chu Tianming's game, he was a tank, and he needed to quickly rush in front of the monster, and then carry out the first wave of attacks, while dragging the monster from attacking others.
With this thruster, the two people should be able to better complete their combat mission, although it is only a primary thruster, but the effect is obvious.
Chu Tianming fused the communication device with his own armor through the God of War system, and he secretly glanced at his system panel, and on the experience side, half of it was already green.
The panel shows level two, the experience bar shows one thousand, now it is five hundred, and another five hundred can be upgraded to level three.
He had seen the introduction of the system before, and when he reached level 3, he could see more options in his system, including the evolution and upgrading of armor.
After everyone's work was over, Jiang Yuan gathered the team members together to discuss the third task of the team.
The third task was also carefully selected by him and Chu Tianming, and then carefully sequenced. The site of this mission is forty kilometers south of the base.
The distance is farther, but now they want supplies and food, and they are not afraid of long-range combat missions. The only thing to be wary of is that they may have to spend the night in the wild, which is quite dangerous.
The description of the third mission shows a wilderness where nothing can be seen on the map. But in this wilderness, there is a relatively powerful mutant beast wandering.
This kind of mission is a mandatory task for each squad, the difficulty coefficient is not high, and the strength of the monster is not very high. This task was snatched by Jiang Yuan and Chu Tianming from the other squads, which made them suffer from the eyes of the other squads for a while.
If it weren't for Jiang Yuan's previous popularity, then their team should have been wiped out on the day they grabbed the mission.
Of course, there will be another situation, that is, the monster has been killed by another team, then they can only stare dryly.
After Jiang Yuan finished reading the task, he announced: "Set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning and complete the task as early as possible to avoid the possibility of staying overnight in the wilderness." Okay, let's rest as soon as possible, recuperate and be refreshed, that's all. ”
The crowd dispersed, each falling on his bed, and in a short time there was a sound of snoring.
