Chapter 52: The Action Begins

The stone walls of more than ten meters high, the neat and spacious streets, the square stone paved ground, the crowds rubbing shoulders, the noisy streets, and the spire of the castle in the center of the city that can be seen from afar, all of these are not comparable to the small ironstone town. Dr. Jack walked through the crowd while carefully observing his surroundings, especially the army, city walls, and weapons to defend the city, and gather intelligence for possible city-level street battles in the future.

As the most similar to the natives, and the least easy to spot, our Dr. Jack was naturally sent out on this glorious and great mission.

Keep walking, keep walking, until the mercenary union branch in Nikara City "I'll tell you, last time, the girl in the Red Treasure Building ......" "Kaibao...... There are ......" "Fuck cao, I'll give these children ...... when I'm tired of work......

The outer hall of the mercenary union was stuffed with a group of shirtless or blood-clad men, some were chewing cigarettes, some were drinking, some were gambling around the table, shouting and scolding, some were huddled in the corner of the wall and snoring with their burdens, some were squatting on the ground and munching bread while deflating their buttocks, and some people were standing in a circle to cheer for the two people fighting in the circle...... The air was filled with a "wonderful" smell of sweat, feet, fart, smoke, blood, and other strange smells.

Dr. Jack sniffled twice as soon as he entered the door, and began to miss the days of the battlefield in Iraq, the dry smell of the sun!

Due to the peculiarities of the guests of the Mercenary Guild, the arrangement of the Mercenary Guild is different from that of other civilian unions. The hall is divided into two floors, the outer hall on the first floor, the inner hall on the first floor, the outer hall is a bar to put it bluntly, providing some simple drinks and a dozen tables, and a task notice board that keeps people coming out to hang the task board, and then let those who have just come down from the battlefield and still have a murderous atmosphere and the soldiers who want to find a task to make trouble, as long as no one lives and no one cares if they don't damage public property. And the inner hall is the office, where tasks are handed over and matters within the regiment are handled, and of course, the order is much better.

"Hey, hey......" A scruffy-looking man approached, and the emblem of the mercenary guild could barely be seen on his pickle-like garment—three intersecting hammers, swords, and axes.

"Don't come in, little white face, this is not the place for you. The half-shirted staff pointed at Jack and scolded.

"Little white face?" Dr. Jack looked at the arm exposed outside his shirt with a strange expression, well, because of the skin color of Caucasians, it is a little white, but after a long period of sun exposure and wind blowing, it is normal, delicate and smooth, but it has nothing to do with the little white face.

"Get out of here, get out of here!" the staff member became impatient and raised his hand to push Jack out. This is a more 'elegant' way to deal with it, if you encounter a rough one, I will throw you out directly!

Dr. Jack's face is a little unkind, even though he used to be an angel in white who saved lives on the battlefield, but he still has a scalpel and a gun in his hand!

Just as the other man's hand was about to push him, Dr. Jack moved, and- "Oops!"

Easily stuck the other party's arm, Jack grinned, revealing a mouthful of shiny white teeth: "Hello, I'm here to apply for mercenary status." "This is the best way he can think of to fool around, if he doesn't find a reason to come in and make trouble, then the master of the mercenary guild won't tear himself up?!

Let go of the big man, Dr. Jack strode towards the counter, although what happened just now was a little unpleasant, but it did not affect the next thing, the formalities were completed quickly, but there was a small episode during the period, when the "beauty" staff member of the big tooth asked Dr. Jack the registered name, Jack suddenly thought that there is no English in this world, and the letters of the mainland language are completely different. Just when he was worried, that pretty face full of smiles suddenly appeared in his mind.

"My name is ...... Clarns. He quietly gave his name.

There was a click, a bang, and the name of a new mercenary was recorded

The task timer reads "Departure" at 15:00, and Zhang Yuan put away the electronic version.

Stomp ......

The horse's body trembled vigorously, and the four hooves under him ran violently, throwing the dust and sand on the ground backwards into choking dust.

The whole team traveled for about half an hour before they reached the first level.

These small earthen forts are dotted around the somewhat inhospitable northern plains, similar in nature to interstellar age checkpoints, verifying the identities of passers-by, transmitting information, providing some shelter for caravanserais, and serving as beacons in times of war.

When the pikeman picked up the mercenary certificate handled by Jack, Lao Zhang pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating.

Don't be discovered, don't be discovered, he muttered in his heart.

The soldier's walking posture is very fluttering, as if he lacks training, but his expression is very serious, and the inspection is extremely strict, according to some mercenaries who often travel to the mainland, they generally just look twice, and they are too lazy to turn over the tent, but now, Zhang Yuan saw them pick up the carriages and check them. A fat man with a smile stepped forward and handed over a bulging money bag, but was kicked, and of course, the money was taken anyway, but the carriage was turned over...... Although somewhat sloppy.

He frowned, even though the Travelers were using thermal weapons that the native soldiers should not recognize, but he always had a bad feeling haunting him.

When it was their turn to inspect them, all the traversers passed peacefully, without hindrance or anything, except that the armor of Zhang Yuan and the Dragon Guards received some attention

The huge auction hall resembling the Colosseum in ancient Rome is brightly lit and noisy. People seem to have forgotten the time, and in this deep midnight, they are indulging in shouting and venting their intense emotions in their hearts.

The auctioneer on the "Dangdang ......" stage, holding a delicate small hammer, made a short tap on the equally delicate hardwood tabletop, making a series of percussion sounds that echoed throughout the auction room.

The noise of the auction hall fell silent, "Let's start the auction of item 39." The auctioneer's voice, like the hammer strike, is emanated by this uniquely constructed auction house, which reverberates throughout this magnificent building.

"This is a ......" With the introduction of the auction, everyone's enthusiasm rose again, and the audience roared and roared as if it was boiling, filled with terrifying bids like a tsunami.

A guard at the gate couldn't help but pluck out his ears: "Hiss...... Damn, buy something, it's so noisy. ”

One of the people on the side laughed: "A few thousand Pistol shots, you can also go inside and make a noise." ”

"Excuse me, Lao Tzu is not in front of the wrongdoer" The guard scratched his armpit with one hand, yawned and turned his head and said: "Alas, buddy, have you had any wine, Lao Tzu has been holding back all day, let's refresh myself." ”

"Be careful, don't you be afraid that the captain will see you to death?. The man spoke, and his hand reached behind his back and pulled out a skin.

"Hey, thank you, buddy. The guard put the axe against the wall, and with a smile on his face, he raised the wine bag and poured it.

"Whew, cool," the man put down his wine bag and was about to make an exaggerated expression......

The man who handed him the wine bag was leaning against the wall, his head turned more than 90 degrees, his neck irregularly concave, and a strange expression of bitterness and pleasure, and two large copper bells staring at him with big eyes that protruded from his sockets.

"Ugh"

The warrior, who was too frightened to react, choked on a mouthful of wine......

A mercury-like touch touched his neck, followed by a crunch, and the choking pungency in his throat was replaced by a salty smell.

Before falling into the eternal chaos, the last thing he saw was two perfectly round pupilless eyes, one large and one small.

"Ghost ......" The last trace of consciousness in his heart was annihilated in the endless stream of time.

Solve the two doormen, Q13 squat...... Jumped up, climbed over the five-meter-high metal door, and wiped a handful on the latch of the door when he landed, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

Darkness, where human sight cannot reach, is the best companion for ghosts.

The mobile armor automatically changes color and luminous intensity with the environment, turning the surface of his body into a thick black like ink, unlike ink, because of the absorbance of the material, its reflectivity is infinitely close to zero.

Q13 clings to the root of the wall, like a shadow sweeping across the earth.

The internal structure of the auction building is a series of boxes arranged in a ladder of high and low levels.

The gate guard's patrol was only five minutes apart, and he had to get to the predetermined sniper position and clear the sentry before the two bodies were found, or the entire force would face the consequences of failure.

In the square inside the gate, there was a brazier every few meters, and the flames in the basin greedily* the air, glowing a warm red, dyeing the stone floor and the flower beds and the guards in front of the brazier orange.

One of the guards glanced at the square and then turned his head towards the door of the auction building.

A black shadow shot like a black lightning bolt into the shadow of the flower bed behind him.

"Huh?" the guard turned back to the gate......

The dark shadow flashed in the direction of the back of his head.

Gliding through the shadows of the flower bed, taking advantage of the guard's turn, rushing past the guard's side, hanging on the inside of the artificial creek after climbing over the stone guardrail before the guard turned around, climbing the vertical embankment to the stone bridge, and clinging to the underside of the bridge like Spider-Man under the stone bridge, avoiding the guard patrol on the shore.

Jumping out, there are two rows of ancient Greek-style white stone pillars on the side of the road, about eight meters high, jumping, Q13 kicked on it......

The sensor on the sole of the boot uploaded the texture and tone of the boulder pillar the moment it touched the stone surface, and in less than a microsecond, Q13's body had turned into the elegant white of the stone pillar.

With another kick, his body rose vertically as if he had violated the rules of physics......

The anti-gravity module on the back activated, the mobile armor changed color again, and a figure like a small piece of starry sky crossed an invisible arc in the sky and landed on the stone pillar on the other side of the stone road.

Take off again......

It was plastered like a gecko on the snow-white stone wall of the auction house.

Like a feather, it landed softly behind the two gatekeepers......

Lighter than the wind, without the slightest sound.

Standing in the back of a doorman, so close that his back was almost against his back, so that none of the guards passing in front of the door could see the figure in the shadow.

Reach for the surprisingly large brass handles on the door.

...... Q13 stopped less than a millimeter from the golden metal......

On the tactical mirror - a round lens turns, focused.

"Special energy number E3309. ”
