Chapter 44: The Blood Black Market
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the next night, the eighty people who had passed the primary the day before began the martial arts test.
The test site was full of people, and the players surrounded the test bench, waving their fists excitedly and shouting loudly, but Wang Hao yawned and looked absent-minded.
Looking at the dark night vision, most of the people in the audience are first-order and second-order abilities, and their strength is simply too weak, if they really fight to the death, Wang Hao thinks that he can easily kill any guy. In his opinion, this so-called "test" is no different from a child's play.
But killing them doesn't mean anything, it's just a few opponents who are slightly stronger than ordinary new humans. The powerful strength of killing that guy has always been deeply imprinted in Wang Hao's heart, like a dark cloud lingering.
Just when Wang Haodu began to feel sleepy, he finally heard the tester call his name.
The process of the competition was good, Wang Haihai pretended to fight with the opponent a few times after the stage, and then found a flaw in the opponent, and casually beat the opponent down with a tiger tooth long knife.
This is a battle that is very exciting in the eyes of others, but Wang Hao already knows the ending in his heart.
"Wang Haosheng." The referee's voice rang in his ears, and cheers rang out from the audience.
Looking at the crowded testing ground, Wang Hao suddenly had a thought that even he was a little afraid of: these hundreds of people in front of him can become the nourishment of the pure-blood tree, although their ability is very weak, maybe even if they absorb all, maybe it is not enough to generate a hundred life origins, but as long as they have been hunting new humans, the origin will continue to increase.
Slowly walking off the stage, Wang Hao and the others smiled and nodded in greeting, but they were thinking about another question in their hearts: how can we hunt new humans without attracting the attention of the new human society?
The source energy that ordinary new humans can provide is too little, and they can only hunt and kill combat-type new humans, but not to mention the strength of any combat-type new human, at the same time, the disappearance of too many people will cause panic, attract the attention of the new human society, and the risk of being exposed is very great.
Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Wang Hao's mouth: the best way is to let the new humans die "normally", such as being killed by the "enemy" when performing a mission with him, and then sucking their blood himself.
If there is an enemy they will die, and if there is no enemy, create an enemy to make them die! Wang Hao thought fiercely.
Just thinking about it, someone hit him the shoulder, Wang Hao turned his head and saw that it was Niu Er, this guy walked past him, and then glared at himself fiercely.
"I don't know what is alive or dead." Wang Hao smiled, there are always some ignorant and arrogant guys in the world. Little dared to wave his pincers at the eagle in the sky, not because it was strong, but because it could not understand the power of the eagle.
Soon, Wang Hao and Niu Er met.
"Boy, although the test stipulates that you can't kill, it's okay to break your legs." Niu Er brandished his golden-backed machete, brought out a knife light, and smiled at Wang Hao.
"Can't kill? That's a shame. Wang Hao nodded approvingly, and then glanced at Niu Er's legs.
"Let's go!" The tester waved his hand and announced the start of the fight.
Niu Er roared, the muscles on his arms bulged high, and he brandished a machete and slashed at Wang Hao's legs.
This knife fell into the air, Niu Er couldn't help but rush forward a few steps, and when he stood firm, he found that Wang Hao didn't know when he was already behind him.
Wang Hao was calm and relaxed, and pulled out the tiger tooth long knife with an expressionless face.
The black knife slapped heavily on Niu Er's two legs, Niu Er screamed, his legs twisted in a posture that did not conform to the laws of physics, and the two leg bones stabbed obliquely out of the skin, and he immediately fell on the stage and fainted.
Immediately, medical staff came to the stage and carried away the unconscious Niu Er. The new human has a strong recovery ability, and the broken legs are not a great injury, and they will recover after half a year's rest.
Wang Hao saw Yang Lianhua in the crowd from a distance, her face was pale, and the muscles on her face were twitching slightly. Niu Er's injury is indeed not serious, but the medical expenses are definitely not cheap, and it is estimated that this woman's salary will be compensated for half a year.
It's really a pity that you can't kill people, otherwise Niu Er should become a tonic for himself.
The two-day test selection was boring and boring for Wang Hao, and in the end, a total of 70 people were selected and became the new batch of security guards of the Blood Cow Company.
The next two days were boring training, and in the two days of living in the Blood Cow Industrial Park, Wang Hao knew the force components of the Blood Cow.
Unlike the old era, most of the armed forces in the new era are in the private hands of the powerful and nobles in various places. For example, in the Blood Cow Company, the combat force is divided into three layers: ordinary security guards, escorts, and elite guards, among which the number of security guards is the largest, with a standing force of about 600 people, and the relative combat effectiveness is also the lowest, most of which are only at the level of auxiliary new humans.
This layer of the guard is the backbone of the blood ox, which is composed of combat-type new humans, which means that the people selected for the guard have at least two second-order abilities and hold guns. It was divided into five squadrons, the number of which was about one hundred and fifty people.
As for the elite guards, they are the most powerful part of the blood ox's combat power, and they are also the most mysterious, with unknown numbers and strength, and the captain is fierce. It is said that anyone in the Elite Guard can have the ability to serve as a squadron leader in the Ordinary Guard.
Wang Hao scoffed at this, he had fought with the guys of the elite guards, and in addition to the fierce killing, the others really didn't pay too much attention to themselves. This is not to say that Wang Hao's combat power surpasses that of every member of the elite guard, but Wang Hao believes that with the strong recovery power of pure-blooded humans and tiger teeth, he has the confidence to kill those guys who are average in the third order, and occasionally have a fourth-order ability.
In addition to maintaining the safety of the park, patrolling and garrisoning, the security guard will also have field work.
For example, on today's mission, a hundred security guards, including Wang Hao, were divided into twenty teams to go to the old city to sweep the blood black market.
Due to the dangers of the Old Town, each team was led by a senior member of the Guards, led by a Squadron Leader, and each armed with a gun.
Five trucks set off from the Xueniu Industrial Park, passed through several blocks of Jianye City, and then passed through a relative urban area, drove to a fork in the road, and stopped in front of a flashing huge iron gate.
A hundred security guards quickly assembled and lined up in twenty teams, and at the front of each team was a member of the Blood Ox Ordinary Guard with a slight charge, who was also the captain of the operation.
"Behind this iron door, there is another world!"
The squadron leader who led the team stood at the front of the team, two sharp fangs rose from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were red, he pointed to the iron gate and shouted: "In the city behind the gate, there are mobs, mutants, and bandits, there is no modern technology, no civilization, and no law, and there are only dark and shameless transactions and bloody killings, so I remind you that any trace of kindness is deadly, and if you want to get out alive, you must be more bloodthirsty than the gang of miscellaneous people inside!" ”
Wang Hao was in the penultimate position of the third team, and he pursed his mouth disapprovingly, and said that he was dignified and sanctimonious, and it sounded as if the Blood Cow Company was the messenger of justice and the embodiment of light, and he had come to punish the evil. In fact, it wasn't because the underground blood trade in the black market in the old city affected the blood cattle business, so they came to sweep it.
In the early days of the transition from the old world to the new world, it was not so peaceful, and a large part of the old people relied on the cities to rebel, and some of the neighborhoods in the cities were destroyed in the war and turmoil, and these places were called the old towns.
It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain law and order, so the authorities of the new humanity simply abandoned the old city and drove all the displaced people, beggars, gang members, people who are unable to work, and even half-humans who have not mutated intact into the old city.
In short, if a new human being cannot provide a useful value for society or the upper class, his destination is the old city.
For a long time, there has been a tacit understanding between the old city and the outside: the outside authorities and the political axe do not interfere with everything that happens in the old town, and all the creatures in the old city must not leave the old town, otherwise they will face the prey of the authorities.
From the perspective of social management, the management of society in the new era is very effective and brutal. Directly abandon all the old, weak, sick and disabled and social instability, and instead devote limited energy and resources to the elites who contribute to the society, which greatly reduces the burden on the society and has a higher input-output ratio.
There is no resistance, no condemnation by public opinion, the so-called "incompetent" and "useless" are abandoned, and all people take it for granted, this is the new era, the new era of cold and direct.
Of course, the so-called non-interference and non-killing conditions are like any agreement, but on the surface, there are always many unexplained deals and bloodshed in the secret, and the new humans living around the old city have the highest mortality rate, and those in power will also acquiesce to the various parties to send people into the old city from time to time.
"Rip off your armbands!"
The squadron leader who led the team took the lead in removing the armband of the blood ox from his clothes, and he yelled: "Now we are entering the old city in the name of private individuals, and your task is to kill the underground blood dealers in the old city, or let them guarantee to buy goods from the blood cow company in the future." ”
The squadron leader looked at his watch and waved his hand: "Take the squad as a unit, move freely!" Assemble at the door in three hours, and remember, bring back the bloodmonger's teeth and plasma bags as the basis for your reward afterwards! ”
After speaking, he turned around and kicked open the iron door, and entered first, followed by twenty teams of people from the Blood Cow Company, one after another.
Upon entering the Iron Gate, each team immediately dispersed and merged into the streets of the Old Town.
After Wang Hao's group entered the door, they walked eastward, passed through a residential community that was already in ruins, and soon came to a tree-lined path.
The tree-lined path does not refer to the elegant environment of the road in front of you, on the contrary, due to years of no repair, the already devastated street is surrounded by all kinds of wild trees and vines, and weeds stubbornly burrow out of the cracks in the asphalt floor, and the ground is all over the ground.
On both sides of the long street, a few ragged beggars slept under the ruins, looking at Wang Hao's group with frightened eyes.
Occasionally, there will be several extremely fast shadows, crossing the street, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a beast.
"Walk down the street, loaded with bullets, on alert!" The senior guard who led the team, that is, the captain of this team of security guards, cautiously raised Wei Chong to his chest and lowered himself against the dilapidated building on the side of the road.
"Captain, don't be so nervous, right?" A security guard looked relaxed, pointed to the beggar in the distance and said, "They are all old, weak, sick and disabled, or they are homeless, do they dare to touch us?" ”
"What nonsense! If you don't want to die, do as I say, it doesn't matter if you die, don't bother others! The captain frowned and scolded him.
Wang Hao grabbed it with one hand, held the handle of the tiger tooth long knife with the other, and followed behind the captain without saying a word. Since entering the old city, superpower points of light have flashed several times in the dark night vision, and there is even a third order! Wang Hao believes that the deserted old town is definitely not as peaceful and safe as it seems.
"Boy, I advise you to focus on the gun." The captain glanced back at Wang Hao while advancing with a cat's waist: "For those of us who are not of high ability level, thermal weapons are more trustworthy. ”
Wang Hao nodded, and did not refute him, but asked in a low voice, "Captain, where are the blood traffickers?" ”
"I don't know, let's go all the way and see all the way, anyway, where there are people, there will definitely be blood traffickers around."
"Then if we're unlucky, won't we have to run for nothing and get no reward?" Wang Hao didn't want rewards such as money, but wanted to get the opportunity to join the guards through this operation.
Ordinary members of the Blood Cow Guard, said to be mainly responsible for the defense of the Blood Cow Headquarters Building, and as far as Wang Hao knows, the private prison of the Blood Cow Company is set up on the negative second floor of the building, in the few days of training, Wang Hao heard that the dream is likely to be in the prison, and has tried to sneak into the Blood Cow Building several times, and finally found that it is impossible to sneak into the security system of the Blood Cow without alarming the Blood Cow.
"You're on a mission for the first time, aren't you?" The captain smiled strangely: "It's nothing more than fangs and blood bags, blood bags are difficult to handle, fangs are not simple?" ”
As he spoke, the captain passed by a beggar wrapped in a torn blanket, and he suddenly pulled out the dagger on his military boot and stabbed the beggar in the heart.
The captain pulled the knife out of the beggar's chest, and before the other party was still alive, he drew the knife and pried out two fangs in the beggar's mouth.
"See, loot is that simple." The captain shook the two bloody fangs at Wang Hao and slammed them into his jacket pocket.
