Chapter 8: Welcome to Hell
Three days later, Ye Tian went to report to the Earth Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
Before leaving the house, the drunken old man threw the mysterious stone to Ye Tian, and at some point he strung the mysterious stone with a thread for Ye Tian to keep close to him.
"Old man, this is your treasure, or you keep it yourself." Ye Tian was slightly stunned, and immediately shook his head to refuse, although the old man had lost confidence in the past two years and did not study it carefully, but Ye Tian also knew that this mysterious stone must have a very special meaning for the old man.
Because more than once, he noticed that when the old man was rubbing the mysterious stone, his face was extremely complicated, and even drank too much a few times, and even shed tears of remorse on several occasions.
"Little bunny, your wings are stiff when you grow up, and you're disobedient, aren't you? Let you take it, what is it like to talk so much nonsense? This thing will be yours in the future, don't lose it! The old man burped and replied angrily.
"Don't worry, old man, I will protect it with my life, people are in the stone!" Ye Tian clutched the mysterious stone in his hand tightly and promised seriously.
Hearing this, the old man was slightly silent, and then laughed at himself: "Don't be so solemn, in your words, it's just a broken stone." ”
……
Located in the southeast corner of the slums, the Earth Branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, when Ye Tian arrived, there were already people standing in front of the skyscraper building, no more, no less than a hundred people, among which there were several familiar faces, all of whom were in the same group of people as Ye Tian, and the others should have also passed the Scar review and participated in this training camp with them.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the sun was scorching, and he almost didn't faint Ye Tian and the others who were standing in the square stupidly.
What is powerless to complain about is that although they all reported on time, it was not until a full three hours after the required time had passed that Scar had a cigar in his mouth, belatedly, and without any guilt or apology.
"Now that everyone is together, what else is the ink? Let's go! Scar jumped, and actually soared several meters into the air at once, easily jumped into a flying car floating in mid-air, and then honked his horn wildly and urged loudly.
"Go? How to go?! Ye Tian and the others on the ground looked at each other, they were a little dizzy, they thought that after reporting for duty, there would be a special car to send them to a secret base, and then conduct special training, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, because there is only one empty seat on Scar's flying car, and it is occupied by his pet, that is, the hideous and terrifying shadow leopard......
Without any explanation, Scar pleasantly exhaled a puff of smoke before driving the flying car away.
"I'll it! Without saying hello, let's start trail running at full speed? Don't bring such a playful person! Ye Tian and the others just woke up from a dream at this time, and while they were in a stomach, they ran wildly and chased after them.
This run is 100 kilometers, from morning to afternoon.
Although Ye Tian and the others were able to pass the audit and become official trainee mercenaries, everyone's physical fitness was very good, but they also felt unbearable, you must know that before leaving, they were exposed to the sun for more than three hours, and they were a little dehydrated and dizzy from the beginning, plus a hundred kilometers of ultra-long cross-country running, when they ran to the destination, they were completely tired and paralyzed on the ground, and they didn't even have the strength to move their fingers.
Not only that, but along the way, they were shocked to find that they had unknowingly left the slum and entered the realm of the Shadow Song Forest.
Although they were only on the edge of the Shadow Song Forest now, even that was frightening enough.
You must know that this is the Shadow Song Forest, the famous Sahara Desert in the ancient earth era, recognized as a forbidden area for life, and after the creation of the era of mankind and the entry into the interstellar era of the universe, the Sahara Desert has been used as a test ground for various high-tech weapons and even alien civilizations. Among them are extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters.
Subsequently, in the 106th year of the Dawning Calendar, at the suggestion of an Earth Councilor, the Sahara Desert was officially renamed the Shadow Song Forest, which was not without the intention of covering up or beautifying, but the people on the earth knew that the current Shadow Song Forest was more dangerous than the Sahara Desert in the past, and no one wanted to enter the coverage of the Shadow Song Forest if it was not necessary.
Many of them were pale and bloodless, half of them were tired, and the other half were frightened.
Ye Tian's situation is slightly better, under the guidance of the old man, or under the force, he has been practicing that strange physical technique since he was a child, and he has been challenging his physical limits almost every day, although the 100-kilometer full-speed cross-country run is very difficult, but it is not enough to make him completely out of strength.
After trying to calm down his somewhat gasping breath, Ye Tian tried to stand up.
Looking around, Ye Tian noticed that there were four people who stood up as quickly as him, and invariably, everyone looked at each other, and they all remembered each other's appearance, and they already regarded each other as their strong competitors.
"Scum! It's all scum! Only five out of a hundred people can stand up, Lao Tzu must be blind to choose you scumbags! And the five of you guys, don't be complacent, a 100-kilometer trail run is just an easy warm-up, but it turned out that you spent at least ten hours, and in the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are no better than those trash lying on the ground! ”
The scar on the speeding car jumped like thunder, roaring and roaring, "Get up! All Tm to Lao Tzu stand up! Before dark, you should get a good place to live, whether you build a dog kennel or dig a mouse hole, in short, hurry up and get yourself a place to live, remember one thing, it is before dark, because Lao Tzu's stomach is already a little hungry, as for what to eat for dinner, of course, you scum to worry about! ”
When the words fell, Scar was holding a cigar in his mouth, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, his legs were casually leaning on the front of the car, looking at the car image very leisurely, although Ye Tian and the others on the ground couldn't see what they were putting clearly, but from time to time there was a moan in their ears that made people blush and heartbeat, as long as they weren't stupid, they knew what Scar was looking at......
"I protest! Lord Scar, this is too far from the training camp I imagined, the reason why I joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is that I hope to learn enough combat experience here, and grow into a qualified cosmic mercenary as soon as possible, instead of being abused here! A round-faced young man who struggled to get up couldn't stand it anymore and protested loudly.
"I protest too! We're just trainee mercenaries, we don't have any stars, and we haven't been on a single combat mission, so isn't it a bit too reckless to pull us into the extremely dangerous Shadow Song Forest now?! ”
"What's more, we are also trainee mercenaries, so we deserve enough respect and protection, in the dangerous Shadow Song Forest, let us build a nest by ourselves, this is too irresponsible, what if we encounter a mutant monster raid in the middle of the night?!"
Seeing that someone took the lead, others soon stood up, and although the rest of the people didn't say anything, they also nodded their heads in agreement.
You must know that they are here for special training, not to be abused, not to mention being in this extremely dangerous Shadow Song Forest, one may give up his life if he is not careful.
"12345, a total of five scumbags, don't say that Lao Tzu won't give you a chance, and if there is no one to protest, all stand up." Scar plucked out his ears and jumped off the speeding car to meet the protesters.
Facing Scar's sharp gaze, the round-faced young man who led the protest couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, but soon he straightened his chest and responded loudly: "Lord Scar, I have no intention of going against you, I am just fighting for our due rights and interests, I hope you can face up to our reasonable demands!" If you must be held accountable, my name is ......."
"Needless to say, the name is ...... There's no need for that anymore! Scar interrupted unceremoniously, and then, under the horrified gaze of everyone, pulled out a pistol with a silver metallic sheen from his waist and pulled the trigger directly.
"Bang!"
With a bang, I saw that the head of the round-faced young man who was leading the protest burst suddenly, and the scarlet blood mixed with milky white brain juice splashed and sprayed, and his body also convulsed, and finally fell to the ground weakly, and he was already too dead to die.
"Bang bang bang!"
Before the frightened crowd could react, four more gunshots rang out, and the other four guys who stood up together to protest were also shot in the head.
"Is there anything else to protest against? It is your legitimate interest to stand up. Scar, who killed five people in a row, was expressionless, as if he had done something insignificant.
Deathly silence, no one responded, joking, in the face of this bloody and painful lesson, only a fool would stand out.
The corners of Ye Tian's eyes in the crowd twitched slightly, although he had already guessed that those strong guys would definitely have no good fruits to eat, but he didn't expect Scar to be so bloody and brutal, and he actually killed them directly.
"Very good, it seems that you scum are beginning to understand some rules, so remember it for Lao Tzu, my words are iron laws, and they will never be repeated a second time, and what you have to do is obey and obey again, if there is disobedience, I believe you know very well what the consequences are!" Scar stood on top of a headless corpse, his face covered in blood, and said with a sinister grin.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say the welcome speech, welcome to hell!"
