Chapter 568: Swimming Against the Tide (Part II)

Jiao Lao already knew Tang Xingzhi's determination from Tang Xingzhi's side, and for Jiao Lao, Hao Sanshui was a brotherly friend of his, and the relationship between the two of them was still very good after knowing each other for such a long time, so he didn't have much nonsense, opened the browser on the table in front of him, linked to the network of the hub, and then swiped his identity card on the card reader next to the table, and directly logged in to the background authority of his hub. It happened that because no one passed by in the position where Jiao Lao and Tang Xingzhi were sitting, Jiao Lao did not shy away from it, and after logging in to the hub, he began to follow Tang Xingzhi's previous operation, and he did it himself. Soon, it didn't take five minutes, and the hub inquired about the last transmitting location of Hao Sanshui's mobile phone signal, and then Jiao Lao's mobile phone rang.

Tang Xingzhi sat next to him and watched the conversation between Jiao Lao and the hub artificial intelligence firmly.

Although she didn't know what the opposite hub was talking about now, through Jiao Lao's answer, she still knew that Jiao Lao was now forcibly investigating Hao Sanshui's location at the cost of reducing his authority. This is a privilege that humans who have made outstanding contributions to the city, and the hub authority and mercenary honor points are a type of data from the perspective of function, of course, the higher the higher. But the authority of human beings in the hub and the honor point are very different, the honor point is a mercenary through the completion of the achievement in the mission, their own strength is affirmed by the hub of a performance, can be in their own honor point level, buy the corresponding rare items, honor points will not fall, only through the task continues to rise. The hub authority is directly applied to the hub system, and the promotion of honor points itself is a very difficult thing, but at least there is a very clear route for the promotion of honor points, that is, through the achievement of completing tasks. However, the hub permission is completely different, and the permission can only be actively issued by the hub, and cannot be obtained through any task. Just like Hao Sanshui, although his mercenary group has made great contributions to the city, but now his own authority in the hub is still as ordinary as most mercenaries, except for being able to use some public data help in the hub normally, he can't let the hub do anything for him. And unlike honor points that do not need to be consumed, the hub permission is a consumable, and in terms of Jiao Lao's permission, he even uses long-range fire support for free once a year at this permission level. But when it comes to forcing the Nexus to do something, it has to sacrifice a level of authority to itself. This is also a normal rule for hubs, after all, for hubs, it needs to prevent abuse of permissions. The next time Jiao Lao wants to use the hub to do such a difficult thing, he must once again make a great contribution to the city to be able to do it, and at the same time, he can no longer use the fire support once a year for free. Therefore, such a thing as mere authority doesn't sound like that, but a mercenary who really knows the importance of authority will never waste his authority for the sake of ordinary people.

"Okay, if you go down one level, you will go down one level, but I need to know where he is now." That's what Jiao Lao said on the phone at the end.

After saying that, he nodded solemnly and listened to the words of the Nexus on the other side.

After talking for three or four minutes, Jiao Lao hung up the phone with a solemn expression, put the phone aside, picked up half a cigarette from the ashtray, and continued to smoke two puffs with a sad brow, the gray smoke swirled on his old face, and he didn't know what Jiao Lao was thinking about now.

Seeing this, Tang Xingzhi next to him hesitated and asked a little nervously, "Old Jiao, has the hub agreed to your request?" ”

"Agreed." Jiao Lao replied.

"Whew!" Tang Xingzhi suddenly breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then asked, "So to what extent has your authority been reduced now, Old Jiao?" ”

"It was originally S-grade, but now it has been lowered to A-grade." Jiao Lao was still very relaxed when he answered this.

"Huh!? Jiao Lao, you turned out to be S-level permissions! It's amazing, it's amazing! After hearing this, Tang Xingzhi's little face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but look at the unattractive little old man in front of him, and sighed respectfully: "I never knew that Old Jiao, you had made such a huge contribution to our human race, and you could enjoy S-level permissions in the hub!" My grandfather has only enjoyed S-class privileges in the hub for so many years! You're amazing! ”

"Haha, Tang family girl, there are still many things you don't know, I went out on a mission with you Tang Zong when I was young, but you are still too young now, and your authority has not been promoted to a very high level. And Xiaoshui's matter is not as simple as you think, my S-level authority can barely make the hub promise me at the cost of downgrading, if my guess is not wrong, your B-level permission, the hub ignores you, and directly downgrades you to C-level, right? The wrinkles on Jiao Laoxiao's face were piled together, the cigarette in his hand trembled, and there was no look of regret on his face because of the reduction of authority, and then after seeing Tang Xingzhi's obedient nodding and embarrassed look, the expression on his face suddenly became calm: "And now I want to tell you a very realistic thing, this thing is what the hub just told me, I hope that after listening to it, you can maintain a relatively healthy state of mind, and find a correct way to help Xiaoshui and them through your own thinking." ”

"Okay, Jiao Lao, you say!" Tang Xingzhi nodded immediately, the smile on his face disappeared, and all of them turned serious.

"Hmmm! Here's the thing, the hub said that Xiao Shui and a total of six mercenaries went to Guping City together to carry out a hidden mission. And we all know that Guping City is a city that our human race has lost for five years, and now the sky over the entire Guping City is covered by a strong electromagnetic barrier, and the hub doesn't know how many monsters there are in the city, so Xiaoshui A six-person mercenary group temporarily formed by them will die if they are not careful, and it can be said that this mission is more difficult than any of Xiaoshui's previous missions. In addition, the hub also told me just now, just half an hour before we started chatting, the hub received the last indiscriminate diffusion signal from a single armor, and the escape of the last signal of the individual armor barely penetrated from the sky of Guping City, so that the super-large drone flying above the dark clouds of Guping City was detected, indicating that a member of Xiaoshui's mercenary team died for various reasons in the process of performing the mission. The same thing happened yesterday, which also shows that the original six mercenaries who went to Guping City together to carry out the mission, now two mercenaries have died. When Jiao Lao said this, he paused temporarily, and he could clearly see a tremor of fear on Tang Xingzhi's shoulder.

Tang Xingzhi listened to Jiao Lao's calm story, and she was really scared in her heart.

Especially at the beginning, I heard that Hao Sanshui had actually gone to the dangerous Guping City, and in the end, I heard the news that Hao Sanshui had killed two members of their mercenary team. Tang Xingzhi really didn't know how to describe the anxious mood now, but he vaguely felt that his heart no longer belonged to him, and he really wanted to let go of anything in his hands, and immediately get a transport plane to send him to Guping City, accompany Hao Sanshui and them, and help him solve the dangerous situation around him! Even if you can't do anything, in the end, staying by Hao Sanshui's side, accompanying him on the last journey is always ten million times better than staying in the city now and having nothing to do, and worrying about it!

"Tang girl, are you okay now?" At this time, Jiao Lao looked at the fine layer of sweat that appeared on Tang Xingzhi's cheeks and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Jiao Lao, you continue......" Tang Xingzhi paused for a moment, and then reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"Well, now that you are in the city, there is no way to help Xiao Shui immediately, and if you really want to help him, you must be strong now, otherwise things will really be like what I said before, not only may you not help Xiao Shui, but you may also kill their remaining four mercenaries because of your recklessness!" Jiao Lao must now show a strong momentum to be able to help Tang Xingzhi resist this feeling of worry. Then when he saw Tang Xingzhi's face slowly regain a little composure, he continued what he said before and continued to say to Tang Xingzhi who was sitting in front of him: "The hub didn't tell me which mercenary was killed, but it also told me that the signal of these two individual armors was not the signal that Xiao Shui used the T-series individual armor, and now Xiao Shui must be alive." So I think your hunch should be correct, Xiaoshui and they have sacrificed two team members now, their own condition, the momentum of the team should not be very good, at least they are in danger and need a certain amount of external help. But even if it's really what I said, I also remind you, you must not think about helping Xiaoshui them through all kinds of things, because even the hub doesn't know what the situation in Guping City is like now, let's take your preparation of empty supplies, we don't know where Guping City is safe at all, and we don't know how to contact Xiaoshui in Guping City for the time being, once there is an error in your airdrop supply, Xiaoshui they are introduced into the ambush circle of the monsters, At that time, not only will the supplies not be available, but there is a great chance that the team will be destroyed! ”

Jiao Lao's words were very serious, and Tang Xingzhi could hear that the chair that was originally quite comfortable was now like sitting on pins and needles!

And just when Tang Xingzhi was still in this extreme worry, Jiao Lao was also very distressed now.

is not only distressed by Hao Sanshui, but also distressed by Tang Xingzhi.

Hao Sanshui was fighting alone, and Tang Xing was alone in the city, and he was also worried and afraid.

Then what happens next depends on Tang Xingzhi's own decision, and others can't control it. (To be continued.) )
