Chapter 4: Guarding the Town

Xu Minghao had just walked out of the mercenary hall, and the atmosphere outside was still lively.

"Brother in front, please wait a minute." Xu Minghao felt a tap on his shoulder, and he frowned and turned over.

Behind stood a burly man.

"Excuse me, brother, I especially like the machine gun in your back. Do you see if you can make a bid? Credit or cash will do, I'll buy it if it's suitable. The strong man was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"I'm sorry, the machine gun is not for sale for the time being, and I have no plans to replace it at the moment." Xu Minghao looked at this simple strong man and clearly refused.

"That's okay, brother, if you want to make a move, remember to contact me as soon as possible, the price is negotiable, why don't you add a friend first." "The strong man looked regretful, and he could see that he liked this machine gun very much, and he wanted to add friends after refusing.

"Okay, if I want to make a move, I'll contact you then." Xu Minghao glanced at the strong man's ID: Machine Gun Mad Man (Flame Mercenary Squad)

"Well, no wonder you fancy your own machine gun!" Xu Minghao said hello and left, and he hurried to the station to catch a train.

"Mad man, how's it going? Are people willing to make a move? After Xu Minghao left, a team of mercenaries came over.

"Captain, he said he wasn't going to change at the moment. It seems that my machine gun dream can only be postponed. The madman said with a look of frustration.

"It's okay, the city contribution store doesn't have a G2 light machine gun, it only needs 20 contribution points, how many contribution points do you have now?" The middle-aged man comforted and asked casually.

"Captain, I only have 4 city contribution points, it seems that it is still a little far away!" The madman was even more upset when he heard this.

The middle-aged man is the leader of the Flame Squad, ID: Flame Burning.

"Well, Donu try. Everyone can get a machine gun for a lone man, and we are a team, all come on. By the way, madman, you have time to probe and see if you can pull him into our mercenary squad. Blaze glanced at Xu Minghao's back and said.

"Let's go, let's brush a few more team bounties, exchange the weapons and go to the front-line guard town. I heard that the gods, holy light, and cuttlefish have gone to several large mercenary squads, and the harvest seems to be good, so let's go over and have a look. Blaze talked about his plan, asking for everyone's opinions.

......

Xu Minghao had already stepped on the train to Maple Leaf Village, the easternmost part of Guangming City.

The hovering train did not go directly to the city gate, and could only reach the nearest Maple Leaf Village to the city gate, and then had to find a way to get to the city gate, but there was a car at the city gate to guard the town.

After Xu Minghao arrived at Maple Leaf Village, he could only walk for 10 minutes to reach the city gate.

Xu Minghao stood under the city gate, looking up at the tall city gate, and every time he saw it, he felt very small.

The gate is 25 meters high, which is twice the height of the ancient gate. All the outer layers of the walls were covered with a layer of black alloy, like a fierce beast.

Xu Minghao looked at the pair of alloy gates that weighed at least 100 tons, although he had seen them in his previous life, he could be amazed by the spectacular scene every time.

And the alloy city gate is engraved with a big red letter - Qin.

Xu Minghao has long known that the name of this big city is Qincheng.

"It's spectacular, it's great! When I first came to assist in the defense, I was also shocked by this scene, thinking that it was possible for those strange beasts to break through such a powerful and strong wall. "A young soldier in a military uniform walked over.

"Well, though, I think it's great, not because of itself, but because of the fact that it has a group of soldiers on it who have been guarding for a hundred years. What do you think? Xu Minghao glanced at the young soldier and said his opinion lightly.

"Haha, that's a good point. Zhang Weihua, a first-class officer of the Qincheng Guard. Zhang Weihua smiled and stretched out his right hand to Xu Minghao.

"The mercenaries of Qincheng are as bright as the wind." Xu Minghao held his right hand.

"Mercenaries? Are you heading to the Guard Town? After Zhang Weihua let go of his hand, he asked casually.

"Well, I'm going to go over and see if there's a mission that suits you." Xu Minghao also casually said his purpose.

"Haha, what a coincidence. Let's go, take my car, I've just finished my errands here, and I'm ready to go back to the guard town. I'll take it with you. Zhang Weihua smiled and patted Xu Minghao on the shoulder, and walked out of the station outside the city gate.

There is a station outside the city gate where several military transport vehicles are parked.

The purpose of the vehicle is to transport mercenaries who want to go to defend the town, but they need to wait until the cart is full before they can leave.

"Okay, just to save me time, or I'll have to squeeze the military transporter." Xu Minghao did not refuse, keeping up with Zhang Weihua's pace.

In Survival, most of the NPCs have so much intelligence that you can even think of them as real people.

It was a four-person military jeep, and Xu Minghao sat in the co-pilot and chatted with Zhang Weihua, asking about the latest situation in the town.

"Mingyue, let me tell you, there is really a shortage of people guarding the front line of the town during this time." Zhang Weihua's eyes were fixed on the road.

The road to the guarded town was extremely difficult to walk, full of potholes, but fortunately, Xu Minghao was used to this bumpy feeling.

"I'm also transferred from the rear to the front line in the east, where the alien beasts have been attacking fiercely lately." Zhang Weihua casually said what he knew.

"If you want to go on a guard mission, I suggest you consider the south side, the south side of the defense line is relatively safer, and the alien beast hordes are not so noisy." Zhang Weihua glanced at Xu Minghao seriously and persuaded him.

"Get out, who do you look down on? If I'm going to go, I'm going to the eastern defense line, why go to the south? Befriending alien beasts? Xu Minghao said angrily.

"Haha, I really didn't mistake you, we who came out of Qincheng didn't have a bad seed, so we should have this kind of blood, isn't it just a group of beasts? It can't be reversed. After Zhang Weihua heard Xu Minghao's words, he didn't get angry but laughed.

......

"When you arrive, you can get off here, and I'll go back to the army to hand over later." If you need my help with anything, you can go to the eastern border line troops and report my name. Zhang Weihua parked his car at the door of the mercenary hall guarding the town.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you, I'll definitely look for you if there's something, and we may be able to kill the enemy together." Xu Minghao didn't say a word of thanks, and soldiers hate politeness the most.

"Okay, let's kill the enemy together." Zhang Weihua waved his hand.

"Interesting friend." Xu Minghao watched the jeep go away.

Xu Minghao turned his head and looked at the guarded town.

It's a small town, but it's actually a large military base, which is the logistics site of the front border defense line and a supply depot for players outside the city.

The road was full of military vehicles coming and going, and soldiers were constantly carrying supplies.

The mercenary hall in the guard town is also constantly filled with players coming in and out, and compared to the mercenary hall in the center of the city, you can see a full mercenary team here.

And, of course, temporary mercenary squads.

As soon as Xu Minghao arrived at the door of the mercenary hall, he could hear their shouts.

"The Nether Squad recruits, are there any players who want to go to the northern border line, team tasks have bonus bonuses, there are master belts, and speed into the team. Once the mission is complete, you are free to stay. The leader of the Nether Squad shouted.

Xu Minghao was not interested in this kind of temporary squad at all, and the mortality rate of joining this kind of squad outside the city was too high. A group of people with ghosts in their hearts, how to cooperate?

Refusing the pull of several teams, he squeezed into the hall, which was also crowded with people.

"Excuse me, I'll borrow it."

"Damn, push hair! Hurry up to reincarnate! ”

"Who do you say? Keep your mouth clean. ”

"Just say you, how to drop? I don't accept the heads-up outside the city. ”

"Whoever doesn't come is a grandson."

Xu Minghao shook his head and watched this farce, the players who dared to come here were all grumpy.

In "Survival", you can kill people anytime and anywhere, but if you kill each other in the city or during the mission, you will be wanted by the military, and if it is serious, you even need to go to jail, yes, you will go to prison.

And if you kill people outside the city, the NPC basically won't care.

Xu Minghao skillfully clicked on the task list and selected the guard task category.

Xu Minghao decided to give up the expedition mission first, complete a guard mission first, find out the danger of the strange beasts nearby, and prepare for the next expedition mission.

Guard Mission: 55 (F– Rank) (5 players required)

Description: Guarding the first line of defense north of the town, Stronghold 16 needs manpower.

Quest Complete Condition: Defend the Stronghold (4 hours at night)

Rewards: +5 City Fame, +6 Military Contribution, +300 XP

Xu Minghao frowned, the difficulty of the first line of defense in the north was only F-level, and there was no need to pass depending on the situation.

Xu Minghao continued to rummage up and picked a guard mission to the east.

Guard Mission: No. 7 (F+) (26 players required)

Mission Description: Guarding the second line of defense in the east of the town, there is a serious shortage of people in Stronghold 25, please go to the mercenaries as soon as possible.

Quest Complete Condition: Defend the Stronghold (4 hours at night)

Rewards: +15 City Fame, +18 Military Contribution, +700 Experience

Xu Minghao hesitated for a moment and looked at the rest of the guard missions in the east, the difficulty and rewards of the tasks were basically the same.

Xu Minghao weighed it and felt that he still chose to take over the task of guarding the east, he just needed to try the power of the machine gun here.

"Hello, I'd like to take on Guard Mission 7." Xu Minghao came to the service window and handed over the task to the staff.

"Mercenary Mingyue has successfully received Guard Mission No. 7, please go to the No. 3 waiting area as soon as possible to gather, and there will be a military transport vehicle to transport you to the No. 25 stronghold in the east." The staff gave tips warmly.

Xu Minghao didn't delay much, and when he left the mercenary hall, he had already prepared the weapons and medicines.

Xu Minghao glanced at the signs on the side of the road and rushed to the No. 3 waiting place according to the instructions.

When I came to Waiting Area 3, I saw a row of military transport vehicles parked, and there were many players queuing up to get on the bus, and I didn't know which one was the one that was going to Stronghold 25.

"Hello, I'm a mercenary who took over the guard mission No. 7, may I get into which car?" Xu Minghao had no choice but to ask the soldier next to him.

"The penultimate car on the left." The soldier casually showed Xu Minghao his finger.

Xu Minghao thanked him, and when he came to the transport car, he found that the car was already full of more than half of the people.

Xu Minghao found an empty seat at random and sat down, and most of the players in the car were closing their eyes and recuperating. There is also a small group of players talking in whispers, depending on the situation should be the same mercenary squad.

The waiting time was not too long, and the car was full.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that this car is to pick up the No. 7 mercenaries of the guard mission to the 25th stronghold of the second line of defense in the east, and will set off immediately after confirming that it is correct." A soldier shouted inside from under the car.

When the soldier confirmed that everything was correct, he gestured to the driver of the transporter, and the transporter moved and drove to the eastern defensive line.

Xu Minghao sat in the car and watched the guard town outside gradually move away, his heart became more and more calm, and the smell of war became stronger and stronger.
