Chapter Twenty-Nine: Windfall
Qin Ge slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were still dim and ruined in the space, he was still in the corner, holding a bloodstained dagger in his hand, his back against the wall, except that the time was slightly wrong, nothing else had changed.
There was already some light outside, and it was quiet, as if he was the only one left in the small city.
Qin Ge stood up and unbuttoned some of his clothes, because his body was already stronger than before, fortunately it was covered by the shabby windbreaker, except for being a few centimeters taller, it didn't look abrupt.
On his chest, the scar was still there, only lighter, and he remembered that a flame had melted into his chest after killing the virus host, but now there was no discomfort in his body.
"Huh?"
Qin Ge was suddenly stunned, because he saw a short sword not far away that was not unfamiliar, it was the one he had relied on to kill the virus host before.
Picking up the short sword, he wondered, was this an accidental drop?
In the examination room before, he didn't know much about this short sword, and the reason why he brought it was purely because it was easy to carry and could be used with a steel shield.
Who would have thought that this was the only item he brought out of the examination room.
This is really a short sword with a very ordinary style, the length of the sword body is thirty centimeters, the hilt is twelve centimeters, there is no special decoration, and it is estimated that it is not even a handicraft.
However, at this moment, there is an extra layer of blue blood on the body of this short sword, as if it has been smeared, and it can't be wiped off at all, and at first glance, there is still a bit of weird beauty.
"It seems that this is the reason, because I killed the boss-level virus host, so I can carry it out?"
Qin Ge was thoughtful, and then found a piece of cloth to wrap the short sword and put it in the backpack.
After packing up, he walked out of the abandoned building with a 98K rifle.
Sure enough, it was already dawn outside, around five o'clock in the morning, and the wooden knife was really magical, able to send him into the anti-virus hunter assessment that was being carried out simultaneously in the provincial capital.
And the mysterious owner of the wooden knife.
"Crab, if not a coincidence, the name must have some kind of deep meaning. ”
Qin Ge thought to himself, and then he walked to the intersection of the small city, where there were more than a dozen figures waiting nervously, it was Zhao Wu, Wang Dong and the others.
"Brother Xiao Qin, it's great that you're okay!"
When Qin Ge came over, Zhao Wu shouted in surprise, and the others were also slightly excited, as if one more person would give him more confidence.
"So what the hell happened last night? Didn't the corpse rush in? And that Wu Li. ”
Qin Ge asked, although he had already guessed the result, the power of the wooden knife was beyond imagination, and it was definitely not a loss of deterrence after pulling it out, maybe the corpse tide outside the city and that Wu Li were already gray.
"We don't know, in the middle of the night last year, Lu Dongming's gang tried to pull out the wooden knife, and also used signal flares to gather a helicopter to try to transport away the wooden knife, but who knew that the wooden knife turned into a black cloud after it was pulled out, we all thought that something was wrong, so we desperately fled, and each found a corner to hide, until death came. ”
"But then nothing happened, we only heard the wolf crying outside, the black clouds hovered for most of the night, until about half past three in the morning, the black clouds gradually dispersed, and there was no corpse tide to attack and kill, about another hour later, we dared to come out to investigate, and it turned out that there was no corpse tide, and there were no other brothers, which was really strange. ”
Wang Dong also introduced at this time, and it seemed that it was not surprising that Qin Ge only appeared at this time.
"Looks like we're going to have to follow the rules, and ask the government to intervene, if the tide of corpses outside the city disappears. ”
Qin Ge said with a smile, he had been a bounty hunter for three years, and he knew very well the process of dealing with this kind of thing.
"Hey, wait for the government to intervene, just the anti-virus hunters in Gale City, there is no time to investigate this virus invasion incident far away from Gale City, maybe wait three or five years, they will really intervene, in short, this time we can get away with it is the greatest luck. ”
Zhao Wu said with a smile, in a good mood, and then glanced at Qin Ge with some caution.
"Speaking of which, Brother Xiao Qin is also seventeen or eighteen years old this year? With the strength you showed before, it is no problem to become an anti-virus hunter, but unfortunately the winter anti-virus hunter assessment will be held in these two days, and you will have to wait for another six months. ”
Qin Ge smiled and didn't speak, all the people present were experienced bounty hunters, and they couldn't see anything when it was dark, but now that the sky had begun to brighten, then Qin Ge's height was much taller overnight, and his body was even stronger, these details couldn't be hidden, but Zhao Wu and Wang Dong were all wise and didn't say anything, what if Qin Ge solved the deadly threat last night?
Then everyone waited for another hour, and finally determined that there was no corpse tide outside the city, there was nothing, and there was no trace of half of the virus host and infected people, but at the same time, this small city was not protected by wooden knives, maybe there will be a wandering virus host here one day in the future.
When they passed the two steam trucks, the two drivers who were in charge of repairs had turned into bones, and everyone sighed for a while, and when they came, there were fifty-seven people, and when they went back, there were fourteen left.
However, since the anti-virus hunter team was wiped out, they did not belong to the government, so according to the rules, the rest of the property belonged to the survivors.
The two steam trucks became the common property of everyone, and this was a bonus, even if they were sold to the government, they could get a huge fortune of at least a thousand gold coins.
"Brother Xiao Qin, we can come back alive from this mission, you have made great contributions, so this intact steam locomotive, my old Zhao is big, how about you alone Brother Xiao Qin?"
Zhao Wu had obviously discussed with Wang Dong and the others, so they were all looking forward to looking at Qin Ge at this moment.
"That's not good, is it?"
Qin Ge was slightly stunned, he gained a lot from this mission, if he didn't awaken the power of the bloodline and become an anti-poison hunter, then every gold coin must be compared, but now, due to the difference in height, then the vision is also different.
Not to mention anything else, if he goes directly to the Gale City Government, as long as he passes the test of the testing instrument and is willing to log in as an anti-virus hunter directly under the Gale City Government, then the basic salary is 700 gold coins every year, and it is very simple to go out a few tasks in a year and get 1,000 gold coins.
"Brother Xiao Qin, this is a must, the thirteen of us have already taken advantage of this broken steam truck, it is selfish, I hope you don't care, after all, you are equivalent to saving the lives of all of us." Wang Dong also said very sincerely, as a melee who had already touched the awakening of the bloodline, his sense was still very keen, so he was especially clear about the changes in Qin Ge's body, so he simply thought that the reason why they were safe and sound last night was all due to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge wanted to say something, one of Zhao Wu's right-hand men, who seemed to be a big man named Li Kun, said with a grin: "Brother Xiao Qin, don't say it again, we can be regarded as living and dying together this time, in fact, Lao Zhao and Brother Wang are too reserved, I am a rough person and have no taboos, just say a word, in the future in Gale City, our brothers are waiting to hug your thighs, if one day Brother Xiao Qin wants to come up with a task to recruit bounty hunters, just look for us, no two words!"
As soon as Li Kun's words came out, Zhao Wu and Wang Dong were a little embarrassed, Qin Ge was also stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this guy is straightforward enough, so he also smiled: "Since this is the case, then let's explain it, I have indeed become a bronze-level anti-virus hunter, as for the future, I will talk about it in the future, and this steam truck, Brother Wang, how about you keep it for me temporarily?"
"That's it, we have to rush back right away. ”
Qin Ge made a final decision, and he didn't make any promises to Zhao Wu and the others, because it was not the right time, first of all, he was not sure whether to register with the government, he had to go home and ask his parents for advice, and whether to register in Longjiang Provincial City or to register with the Gale City Government, there was a difference, how could he promise anything in this situation?
Secondly, although in the previous mission, Zhao Wu and the others behaved okay, they must be cautious when they should be cautious, people are complex, and it is too reckless to trust each other just by living and dying together, not to mention that Qin Ge and Zhao Wu and others have not really lived and died together.
As for why he handed over the steam truck to Wang Dong for safekeeping, it was really because compared to Zhao Wu and others, Qin Ge believed in Wang Dong a little more, and in addition, he also repaid the favor, and he hadn't forgotten that Wang Dong had used all his ten gold coins to buy ten bullets from Lu Dongyang.
If his parents and Qin Ge finally decided to stay in Dafeng City, if they were going to Longjiang Provincial City, this steam truck would be Qin Ge's reward for Wang Dong.
Even if he was reprimanded by his parents in this matter, Qin Ge decided to be willful.
