If its size is smaller, remove those airbags, make the fuselage more narrow and long, with the huge thrust of the existing engine, it will definitely become more flexible, and the speed can be multiplied, which is more in line with the concept of "aircraft" in Su Hao's memory.

However, the people here do not seem to have this mechanical concept of being able to fly. Even for an old mercenary like Mo Xingkui, it seems that there are only airships, not airplanes.

After carefully examining the documents of the two men and their belongings, and after determining that there were no weapons of mass destruction sufficient to pose a threat, the guards handed each of them a temporary access card restricted to movement around the perimeter.

There are people everywhere, and this place is obviously much more prosperous than Konoha Town. As far as the eye can see, the bright lights and the dense flow of people are Su Hao's first impression of this place. Mo Xingkui led him all the way into the highway leading to the military area, and explained loudly in his voice: This belongs to the civilian area on the periphery of the station, that is, the family area attached to the army. With the passage of time and continuous development, there are more and more businessmen who are not afraid of death and homeless people who want to make a living, and a situation of mutual dependence with the army has gradually formed.

In front of a six-story building marked "External Reception Center", Mo Xingkui stopped the locomotive, turned off the fire, untied his backpack from the back seat, and walked in with Su Hao.

The two of them went straight up to the third floor. With temporary passes, the guards in the building did not obstruct them. However, Su Hao felt that it was entirely because of Mo Xingkui himself. The old mercenary was very familiar with the place, and he kept greeting others along the way. It seems that I have been here many times.

The third floor is completely different from the downstairs. It's an empty place, surrounded by hundreds of biological specimens. There are tiny insects, as well as eagles and snakes that have been solidified by potions and gelatin. Next to the dead creatures, which still maintained their previous movements, there was a skeleton of various shapes. Just within Su Hao's line of sight, there are more than a dozen types that can't be named and are also very unfamiliar. Their skulls are prominent, with sharp, curved fangs.

Mo Xingkui strode to the No. 7 workbench and put his heavy backpack on it. The loud crash broke the calm atmosphere, and many staff members in military uniforms turned their eyes to this side, just casually looking, and they were busy with their work at hand.

Behind the workbench is a very strong man. His shoulders were very broad, and his dark green training uniform was clearly plus-size, but it still couldn't hide the bulging muscles on either arm. He is bareheaded, giving the impression of a heavyweight boxer. When he got up from the chair, Su Hao found that the man's right cheek had disappeared forever, replaced by a special metal substance embedded in his face to connect muscles and bones.

The iron-faced man and Mo Xingkui are obviously very familiar with each other. He didn't care, just looked at the backpack lightly, then shifted his gaze to Su Hao, and finally looked at Mo Xingkui, and said sullenly: "Old Mo, why don't you stay in Konoha Town, why did you come to me?" ”

Mo Xingkui reached out and grabbed the backpack, and while unbuttoning it, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "I brought you some new biological samples this time. I bet you'll definitely be interested in them. ”

"Biological samples?"

The iron-faced man let out a cold snort from his nostrils and sneered dismissively, "You always say that you have brought me a surprise, but every time it turns out to be some ordinary garbage." It's not that I'm talking about you, it's enough to play this trick casually once or twice, every time it's like this, aesthetic fatigue aside, even I feel bored. ”

"No, no, no, it's definitely different this time." Mo Xingkui hurriedly waved his hand.

"Come on! Come less! ”

The iron-faced man's expression of disdain did not change at all: "When did you not speak such lines once?" Since you are not a professional actor, don't deliberately act in front of me. Let me guess, you're bringing a bunch of rancid werewolf entrails? Or is it the brain of some poor corpse? You always say that those things look special, but garbage is garbage. I warn you, it's best to throw away all the mess in your backpack while I'm still angry. I could have drunk with you at night, but it would be impossible to swindle me out of winnings with worthless garbage. ”

Being unceremoniously belittled in front of Su Hao made Mo Xingkui feel a little embarrassed. He shook his head helplessly, took out the metal collection box containing the fragments of the "baby" from his backpack, and placed it heavily in front of the iron-faced man.

"Open it up and see for yourself! I'm not kidding you this time, it's definitely a brand new sample you've never seen before. ”

Although Mo Xingkui said it loudly, the iron-faced man seemed to be skeptical. He frowned, put on his gloves, and nonchalantly unscrewed the observation hole at the top of the metal box. The moment his gaze made contact with the fragment of the "baby", a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, and his expression became solemn.

He looked very carefully and very seriously.

After nearly two minutes, the iron-faced man's expression had become extremely stern. He pressed the pager on the workbench beside him, and soon, three officers wearing the same style of training uniforms approached one after another.

"What is this?"

"It's like a split sample that has never been seen before. It is small and should still be in the juvenile stage. ”

"Let's do a cell grading test right away and see if the genetic composition and chromosome analysis results are."

An officer put on gloves and carefully collected a small amount of liquid from the metal box and stuffed it into a small analyzer located at the back of the bench. A comparison chart quickly appears on the computer screen next to it, and the program automatically selects files from the stored data for judgment. The screen changes rapidly at about 20 frames per second, and the number in the red circle in the lower right corner starts from "0" and increases by percentage as the screen changes. After about five minutes, the auto-contrast program ended, and the aperture number had reached 100 percent, but the screen went blank with a clear line of text: "No match found." ”

Sample testing is one of the foundational jobs required by the Imperial Research Department. In every regiment-sized military station, such a small analyzer is set up. Regardless of the sample, the search judgment can be completed in just a few minutes. If you find the comparison data that has been entered, the sample will be automatically judged to be invalid. If it is a new sample that has not been entered, the instrument will give this answer. This also means that those who send biological samples can get a contribution and a generous bounty.

The entire third floor suddenly became busy, and more and more soldiers poured into the No. 7 workbench. A completely new specimen, meant a dark species that had never been discovered before. You must know that the war between the Human Empire and the Dark World has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and basically all the Dark Species Empire has relevant records. Of course, the fact that new species are completely new does not mean that humans are completely unfamiliar with them, this is only the preliminary results of the bioanalyzer's detection of samples, and in recent hundreds of years, humans have not discovered 100% dark creatures with unknown enormities.

"Alright! I retract those words from before. ”

The iron-faced man glanced at the officer who was sending the sample to the genetic testing machine for the second analysis, then turned around, pressed the pager again, asked Mo Xingkui and Su Hao for a cup of coffee each, and said seriously and satisfied: "Testing samples is similar to buying a lottery ticket." The biological samples you brought this time are very special, and they should be a completely new species. Next, it is necessary to see how much of the relevant information is in line with the program. If it's less than 80 percent, then congratulations, this time it's really rich. ”

A young soldier walks over with coffee. Mo Xingkui picked up the cup, felt the warmth coming out of the wall of the cup, took a sip, pointed to the captain's badge on the iron-faced man's shoulder, "Hey, hey, hey" and said with a smile: "Introduction, my old friend, Zheng Han." ”

As he spoke, Mo Xingkui patted Su Hao's shoulder again and introduced to Zheng Han: "His name is Su Hao." If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had a chance to stand here, but someone else would come and tell you and me about my death. ”

The iron-faced man, that is, Captain Zheng Han, suddenly became interested, looked Su Hao up and down, and asked, "Oh?" It's the first time I've heard you praise a young man in such a tone. Tell me, what exactly did he do that made you feel amazing? ”

This remark is clearly sarcastic. However, Su Hao could feel that the captain of the Imperial Army in front of him had no hostility towards him, just a normal conversation with his old friend.

Mo Xingkui put down the coffee cup and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his abdomen where the stitches had been removed and the wound had basically healed. This action was very abrupt in the hall, and it also attracted the attention of many soldiers standing in the workbench. Under the bright light, everyone saw that Mo Xingkui's abdomen and waist were covered with more than a dozen scars, like a terrifying black-red centipede crawling on the surface of the flesh.

"The emperor is above, this kind of Cheng Dù's serious injury is still alive now?"

"It was unbelievable, his stomach was almost rotten. Look at these wounds, they're no different from jigsaw puzzles. ”

"I'm afraid that even the medical officers in the divisional hospital are helpless about this kind of Cheng Dù's wound. How exactly did he do it? ”

Zheng Han looked at Su Hao quite calmly, then took a deep look at the wound on Mo Xingkui's body, and said seriously: "Your luck is really good. If you die, I'll help you get revenge. However, as things stand, you should have a lot to live. ”

Mo Xingkui laughed softly: "How about it, let's have a drink together later?" ”

Zheng Han nodded: "No problem, I'm in for a treat." ”

At this time, a second lieutenant sent the results of the second test he had just obtained to Zheng Han. His face was full of surprise and excitement: "Section Chief, it is an unknown species of the highest level. Only 31 percent of the information matched. ”

Even Zheng Han, who had a calm personality, was taken aback by the results marked on the page, and his eyes widened in surprise.

For nearly 16,000 years, the Human Empire has never found a dark creature that matches Cheng dù as "zero". This means that the Human Empire has recorded information on all categories of dark creatures. However, there will always be differences in biological evolution. Just like the classification between reptiles, although crocodiles and lizards are both reptiles, they are two species with obvious differences in their habits. The so-called "matching" is only the basic items such as appearance and genes, and beyond this, it is the biological branch of differentiation.

Zheng Han carefully examined the various contrasts on the page, and his always calm tone was mixed with a faint excitement: "As long as it is less than 95 percent, it is a heavy discovery." In my 11 years in the biology department, this is the first time I have seen a biological sample below 31 percent. This must be a mutant breed that has not yet been discovered, and it is the highest level. Lao Mo, you really hit the jackpot this time. ”

Mo Xingkui and Su Hao looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw shock and ecstasy.

Su Hao never thought that killing a dark creature would be rewarded so richly.

Mo Xingkui felt that the "baby" occupying Wang Li's body had research value at that time, but he didn't expect it to be so important. He had always been very attentive to the collection of biological samples, and if it weren't for his Jianyì, Su Hao would not have thought of sending biological samples to the Imperial Army's inspection department.

"Goo-toot!" Mo Xingkui heard the sound of swallowing saliva in his throat.

Su Hao's love soon returned to calm. He looked at Zheng Han and asked, "How much bounty can we get this time?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Zheng Han thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "According to the regulations, the biological samples you handed in this time belong to the highest "S" grade. But you have to understand that any biological sample with a judgment of less than 50% falls into the "S" category. I am only qualified to handle the lowest level of biological samples, and this matter is beyond my purview, and must be reported to the highest research department of the empire immediately, so that they can determine the final amount of the reward. ”

Mo Xingkui was very dissatisfied with this vague answer. He raised the volume of the question: "Okay! I'll ask it differently. What is the minimum bonus we can get? ”

Zheng Han opened the drawer under the workbench, took out a bounty form, and pointed directly to the top list. There was a row of striking black text: S-Class Creature Sample Bounty, 200,000 Imperial Gold Coins, and 1,000 Contribution.

Mo Xingkui pointed to the words "contribution" on the form and asked incomprehensibly, "What does this mean?" ”

"This is a new reward rule that was just implemented in February last year."

Zheng Han explained: "Literally, contribution refers specifically to the contribution to the empire. This is the part of the reward and compensation that was jointly submitted with the Supreme Inquisition after deliberation by several main army commanders. As you know, many soldiers died on the front lines. Although there is a pension, it does not cover the living needs of all dependents. The Imperial Treasury was unable to come up with more appropriations, so it had to settle for the second best thing, giving a certain amount of contribution to the disabled and war-dead soldiers. Their families and individuals can translate their contributions into more tangible aspects. For example, tax-free hours for personal business, priority for work, exemption for real estate purchases, and so on...... In addition to these, you can also get an official position through your guò contribution, or get some special benefits that ordinary people can't enjoy. ”

Mo Xingkui subconsciously asked, "What special benefits?" ”

"For example, immunity from crimes."

Zheng Han further explained: "According to the regulations, as long as you do not kill important people in the Empire, such as the rank of Legion Commander, or nobles above the rank of Prince, and your accumulated contribution is enough to offset Cheng Dù, then even if you kill an Imperial Duke, the Supreme Court will still exempt you from prosecution, and you are still a free man." ”

Mo Xingkui's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Damn!" So**? ”

Zheng Han glanced at him meaningfully and nodded slowly: "The premise is that you must have enough contribution." Otherwise, if you kill any citizen of the Empire, you will be put on the wanted list by the Imperial Police. ”

Su Hao joined the ranks of questions: "So, how should this contribution be obtained?" Is it only possible to hand in unverified biological samples? ”

Zheng Han's tense face showed a hint of a smile. To be precise, it should be the half of the face that is not imprisoned by metal and smiles.

"Of course not. There are many ways to get contributions. According to the relevant regulations promulgated by the Legion Commander and the Supreme Inquisition, anyone who does something beneficial to the Empire, is recognized, or complies with the implementation rules can receive a different amount of contributions. Let's take the simplest example: let's say a worker works in a factory, and belongs to the lowest level of ordinary people. If he works diligently and conscientiously from the first day of work, and has no bad deeds such as being late and leaving early, and has no accident records, then by the time he retires, he will be able to get five contribution points. ”

Mo Xingkui continued to ask: "What can you do with five points of contribution?" ”

Zheng Han glanced at the portable communicator on Mo Xingkui's wrist, reached out and asked for it, and explained while connecting it with the computer information database on the workbench: "It's very useful. If you have your eye on a house and want to buy it, but you don't have enough money on hand, in this case, every bit of contribution can offset 5% of the total price of the house. Five contribution points means a quarter of the discount. If you want to use your contribution for financial investments, up to 1,000 gold coins, Imperial Bank can exchange each contribution to a one-year deposit rate of 5%. Of course, the premise is that your identity must be verified by the Guò Bank to confirm that your source of income is less than the required amount and that you do not have a bad credit history. After all, once this kind of thing was accused by the nobles, the result would be disastrous, and it would not be possible to achieve the purpose of the Legion Commanders' original initiative to implement the contribution. ”

"I see."

Mo Xingkui nodded thoughtfully: "For us, this is a good thing. ”

"Of course it's a good thing."

Zheng Han strongly agrees with this statement: "For you, it is not difficult to fight for contribution, as long as you spend a lot of effort to kill the dark creatures. Kill more, get more, and the more the merrier. "can offset five percent of the total room price. Five contribution points means a quarter of the discount. If you want to use your contribution for financial investments, up to 1,000 gold coins, Imperial Bank can exchange each contribution to a one-year deposit rate of 5%. Of course, the premise is that your identity must be verified by the Guò Bank to confirm that your source of income is less than the required amount and that you do not have a bad credit history. After all, once this kind of thing was accused by the nobles, the result would be disastrous, and it would not be possible to achieve the purpose of the Legion Commanders' original initiative to implement the contribution. ”

"I see."

Mo Xingkui nodded thoughtfully: "For us, this is a good thing. ”

"Of course it's a good thing."

Zheng Han strongly agrees with this statement: "For you, it is not difficult to fight for contribution, as long as you spend a lot of effort to kill the dark creatures. Kill more, get more, and the more the merrier. ”
