Chapter 7 Big Shots on
Less than 10 minutes after receiving the payment, the 200 yuan coins were exchanged for pure water, food, and ammunition. Su didn't plan to stay in this settlement for long, and after a simple supply, he was ready to leave. In the map in Sue's mind, this settlement was only a hundred kilometers away from Asmo, which was still a little close. Although Leigh didn't want his life, she was in trouble enough. And Sue always had a bad premonition that she might cause herself big trouble.
So Sue chose to leave.
Before leaving, Sue walked through every corner of the settlement according to his previous habits. So in the map of his consciousness, there was all the details of what he saw. According to the coordinates, Su named the settlement K7. When his idea came to him, the mark of K7 appeared next to the sign of the settlement on the map.
The commander of the K7 colony wanted Su to stay, and the battle just now had shown that a sniper like Su could completely influence the outcome of a battle. Of course, Sue's refusal did not surprise him, only large companies can keep people like Su, and the K7 settlement is too small and too poor.
In the previous battle, the opponent was unexpectedly strong, and he was able to hire Su for 200 yuan, and the commander felt that his luck was not bad, otherwise the result might be diametrically opposite. Based on Su's appearance in battle, the commander estimated that he was worth at least 500 or more, but it was absolutely impossible for K7 to come up with such a large sum of money.
In the darkness of the night, Sue left K7 and headed west.
Before leaving, the commander handed Su a map with a location marked on it. It was the headquarters of a mercenary organization called Falcon. The leader of the falcon was the commander's comrade-in-arms back then, and the commander meant that if Su was short of money, he might as well try his luck there. No matter where you are, a good sniper will always be in demand.
Pendulum City ushered in the early morning as usual.
As soon as the sky was brightened, the loud military songs echoed over the Eastern District, and groups of soldiers began to exercise and run in the twilight morning light. Rei stood on the rooftop of a five-story building, staring coldly down at the warriors training below. She was standing on the breastwork of the rooftop, and if she didn't pay attention, she would fall straight down, and the morning wind here was particularly strong and unpredictable. Even a third-order warrior in the Fighting Domain didn't dare to stand in such a place casually: if one accidentally fell, although they couldn't die, it was indispensable to break a few bones.
The environment of Pendulum Town is a little better than the surrounding area, with lower radiation and pollution. Although these soldiers have not particularly strengthened their physical resistance, they are all physically strong and can fully tolerate radiation that is twice as strong. Unlike the trend of the turbulent era, which emphasized individual force, Li admired the old way of training, and paid great attention to the combination of arms and the quality of equipment. It can be said that 80% of the construction funds of the entire Rockland North District were spent on the Li's army. And the current profits generated by the branch are not even enough to feed the 50 people under Li.
Less than three months after the establishment of the Oxland North Branch, Leigh had 500 men under his command. Roxserland has sent almost half of its elite troops here, apparently not just for an N11 base. Under Li's command, the more people there are, the more powerful they will be, and there may be thousands of armed outcasts or mobs around Pendulum City, but Li's 500 elites can easily sweep them away.
Within the northern district of Roxland, Rigo controlled all the agents in the area, while Leigh was in control of the armed forces. Of course, most agents actually have some strong personal abilities, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in the chaotic and bloody wilderness.
Unlike Asmo, which was under the Penn Company, Pendulum City did not welcome outsiders, and the Northern Branch had no intention of trading with the outside world. After selecting Pendulum City as the location of the branch, Li led the army to clean up the entire city in half a month, and then spent half a month to clean up the underground passages, blocking and blowing up all the unused corridors. Then the 10 kilometers around Pendulum City were designated as a no-go zone, and the homeless people were not allowed to live, even members of other companies or settlements were not allowed to pass, even if the mercenaries and hunters with the licenses issued by the Roxerland Company would be denied entry without discrimination if the mission area was not within this 10-kilometer area. Anyone who ignores the warning will be hit by the Roxyland Guard. And in the wilderness, a blow often means extinction.
The morning light gradually brightened, and flakes of smoke and dust were faintly visible in the distance. The sentinels occupying the tallest building on the edge of Pendulum City noticed something unusual, and in the high-powered telescope, a long motorcade of smoke and dust could be faintly seen heading towards Pendulum City. The sentry immediately turned on the heavy machine gun safety and notified the branch by walkie-talkie.
It didn't take long for the sentry to hear back, and it was the convoy of the head office.
This time it seems that he is a big man. In the center of the convoy were three old-era black RVs, and the escort was two wheeled armored vehicles and soldiers loaded with two troop carriers. In order to adapt to the wilderness with no roads at all, these motorhomes have actually been modified, and the chassis can be raised to more than a meter if necessary, and the horsepower ensures that they can traverse the terrain that a qiΔ wheeled armored vehicle can traverse. No matter what era it is, the style is guaranteed by the material.
The convoy was still a kilometre away from Pendulum City, and Rigore and Liz had already appeared outside the city to meet them.
Getting out of the RV was an old man with snow-white hair, a light gray suit that was crisp, and his shiny black leather shoes were spotless. The old man seemed to have a smile on his face all the time, and he didn't seem to have any special abilities just by looking at his appearance. In this era of rapid change, in fact, most people still have no special abilities.
Since ancient times, people have been gifted with distinctions, and this is also true in turbulent times. Most people do not have the talent to acquire ability, and it is possible to develop ability, and the vast majority are confined to a specific field and stagnant at the first order. Although the Genetic Evolution Elixir can also cause ordinary people who are not gifted to generate evolution points, so as to gain abilities. However, the high and rare nature of potions is a stricter restriction and obstacle than talent, and it is impossible for ordinary people to accumulate enough money for a potion in a lifetime, but if you are willing to work hard and are lucky enough, maybe you will get evolution points after a few battles.
Perhaps these two rules have not changed since humans became wise. One is that all people are born unequal. The second is that people can work hard to change this inequality. Ironically, however, throughout history, for the most part, this human effort and its effects have exacerbated the inequality of society as a whole.
Although the old man was incapable, Rei and Rigore's attitude towards him was very respectful. The old man, named Fastel, is one of the founders of Roxyserland and one of the five current directors, and belongs to the real big names in the company.
Behind Fassel were two more dazzling young men. The two of them were dressed in the same dark black uniform, with two rounds of dark gold patterns on the cuffs, the color of the clothes was very different from the other members of the Roxserland Company around them, and they were much more luxurious, cut and ironed, and the handiwork was exquisite, and the uniform was no worse than the suit of Fast. It appears that the two men are not members of Roxerland, but belong to the same organization.
Of course, the outside of the city was not the place to talk, so the group got back into the car and went straight to the branch building, where they sat down in the large conference room on the top floor a few moments later. All the middle-level and above managers of the branch were called back to participate in this meeting.
Interestingly, the two young men, who were apparently not members of Roxerland, were also seated in the conference room. Without saying a word, they sat quietly behind Fatel.
The meeting was brief. Saw was very satisfied with the achievements of the North Branch so far, and announced on behalf of the company's senior management that the interim treatment will be increased by 30% this year. After the meeting, Fassr left Rigore, and the branch knew that there would be a secret conversation next, so they dispersed with joy, and even Lily got up and left the conference room. But the two young men remained in the conference room, sitting quietly in the back seats.
Rigore sat at the large conference table, somehow, a little uneasy in his heart. Unlike the relatively innocent Li, Rigore has been with the company for more than eleven years. He knew very well how much energy the old man in front of him, who was always smiling, amiable, slow-moving, and seemingly completely harmless. In this world, power has the right to speak, but in the face of wisdom, it is always difficult for power to prevail.
The two young men also made Rigorei curious, as well as dangerous.
The young man on the left is tall and majestic, almost as tall as him, his shoulders are broad, his body is as thick as a wall of sand, and his figure is very well-proportioned and full of strength. The young man looked to be in his twenties, with a knife-like nose and eagle-like eyes, and some unconcealed arrogance beneath his expressionless face.
The other was much younger, looking to be in his mid-twenties, with strange silky gray hair, and his eyes were a rare gray-green color. Unlike his tall and flamboyant companions, the young man was unusually quiet, even a little shy. He was also looking at Rigore with curiosity. Rigore suddenly noticed that a little light flickered faintly in the depths of the young man's pupils. Almost at the same time, Rigore felt as if a stream of ice was rushing through him, and his intuition told him that the young man had seen through him.
Fassel stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and went over to close the door to the conference room and sit down at the conference table. He couldn't stop wringing his hands, and after a long time, he sighed heavily and said, "During this time, I am very satisfied with you, but also extremely disappointed. β
Rigore watched the old man's actions, did not say a word, leaned back in the chair at this time, and asked casually, "What do you say?" β
Fassell took a few photographs out of his pocket, and with a gentle push, they slid down the sleek desktop to Rigore. After just one glance, Rigore's face changed, and he scolded fiercely: "This son of a bitch!" β
On the green background, there were intruders and corpses of all kinds of cells, exactly what Rigore had seen on the doctor's computer screen at the time.
Several photos are of this.
Fate took off his glasses and wiped them with a white handkerchief, but his eyes, which were already a little cloudy, looked at Rigore: "When I saw these pictures, I was really, really disappointed. For the past two days, I, the old guy, have not slept well at all, and have been thinking about it. You know, I've always been very optimistic about you, and I've sent you to this position with my own hands. So now do you owe me an explanation of what is going on. Because of ambition, or something else? β
Instead of answering, Rigore looked at the two young men behind Fate and asked, "Who are these two?" β
Fassr shifted his body, pointed to the two young men, and said, "Ha! It seems that I am really old, and I have forgotten to introduce it. This is Mr. Lecona, and this is Mr. Oberen. Both are members of the Dark Dragoon, dedicated to this ...... The intruder thing came. β
When Fasr was named, both young men stood up and bowed slightly to Rigore, showing excellent etiquette.
The gray-haired young man bowed slightly, and said in a melodious and pleasant voice, "Dark Dragoon First Class, Oberen. β
Another said, "Corporal Dark Dragoon, Raikna. Cesc Fabregas. β
Oberen saluted earnestly, and Lecona was faintly haughty, and he seemed especially proud of his family name.
RigorΓ© didn't know if there was such a family as Fabregas, but looking at Lecona's expression, it must have been a very prominent name. However, it doesn't matter what kind of family Fabregas is, when he heard the words Dark Dragoon, the corner of Rigore's eyes jerked. He tried to light a cigarette, but he struck several matches in a row, but failed to catch fire.
Rigore stared at Fassr and asked, "If I'm right, your men must have started investigating the people in the branch, right?" β
Fassel spread his hands and said, "I didn't make a big move, and there was no need for that." After all, no one else knows about it except you and Rothstein. Leigh was still a child, and I don't think she knew about it, if she hadn't contracted it...... There is no need for the intruder to let her know. β
Rigore crumpled the unlit cigarette into a ball, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What do you want me to do? β
Fassr leaned back with a slight fat body and smiled, "That's right. You know where the invaders came from, and all you need to do is assist the two Dark Dragon Knights in finding this source. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the most important thing about working with the Dark Dragoon is honesty. In order to ensure that her honesty is not broken, Sally has been sent to the Dark Dragoon to receive a year of free education. I can assure you that it must be the formal basic training within the Dark Dragoon, an opportunity that many families and companies can't get even if they hold a lot of coins. β
"Sally!" Rigaolei's eyes widened suddenly, and his messy short hair seemed to stand on end! However, Fassel kept smiling, as if he couldn't feel Rigore's momentum at all.
The roaring lion then deflated and sat back down.
Fate smiled, "That's right. A year in the Dark Dragoon would have been of countless benefits to Sari, and she was thirteen years old, and the mutated tissue on her body would be permanent if she was not treated. The Dark Dragoon had promised to heal her completely. You know, Roxerland doesn't have that kind of technology. β
Rigore's vital point was struck again, his face contorted, his breath as heavy as a steam train, and his head buried deep between his hands. After a moment, he raised his head and said in a low voice, "Let Liz go." β
Fate laughed happily and said, "As I said, Leigh is still a child, and very talented. The company needs her. β
At this point, Raikna stood up and smiled, "I'm glad we were able to work together. Now, I need to know a bit of detail about the intruder samples you obtained. β
A moment later, there was an additional color sketch of Su in front of him. He couldn't admit that the portrait was really vividly painted, especially the blue pupils that seemed to hide a volcano under the calm, which made Rigolei feel as if Su was really standing in front of him.
This portrait is by Oberen. This quiet, even shy young private of the first class had an extraordinary artistic talent, and with just the dictation of Rigore, a few colored pencils, and a few corrections, he was able to paint such a almost realistic portrait.
Raikna looked at Sue's portrait carefully and said, "His physical features are very obvious, and it shouldn't be difficult to find." Mr. Rigore, we need to use your team of agents to report back to us as soon as they have news of this man. Now, get us a few cars, let's go to Asmo first. β
Rigore looked at Raikna, and although the young man's arrogance was a little uncomfortable, his strength was undoubtedly strong, and even just standing beside him, Rigore felt a dull pain in his skin from being pricked by pins and needles.
"Do you need to gather some people? This Sue is very difficult to deal with. Rigore said.
Raikna glanced at Oberen, and replied lightly, "No need, we have brought our own servants." No matter how difficult this Sue is, as long as we can find his whereabouts, Oberen and I will be able to handle it. All you need to do is provide a vehicle and a guide. β
Half an hour later, Rigore drove away from the headquarters building in his off-road vehicle and drove along the road out of the city. In the passenger seat was Raikna, while Oberen took the position of machine gunner, looking left and right along the way, looking at Pendulum City with interest.
When the off-road vehicle drove through the square in the west of the city, Li was standing on a high platform, indifferently looking at the soldiers who were training under the stage, and her short maroon hair was particularly conspicuous.
Raikna stared at Leigh, taking in every line of her. From the first time they met, Lekona's long, powerful legs impressed Raikna. It wasn't until the buggy had rounded the corner and Liz was no longer visible that Raikna withdrew her gaze and smiled at Oberen, "I didn't expect such a great girl to be in such a small place!" When I come back from errands, I must find a way to her once. But to be honest, I'm afraid one time is not enough! Well, are you interested, if so, I'll give it to you! β
Oberen's brow furrowed, he keenly felt a subtle hint of anger in Rigore's body. To Raikna's question, he calmly said, "I have people I like. β
Raikna laughed and said, "Hey! Don't be so serious, come out and relax! Well, well, let's not talk about this topic anymore. But I really want to know who can make this guy tick your mind. β
Oberen smiled peacefully and did not answer the question.
