Chapter 1253: Joining the group
Bell, the vice president of the Brotherhood, didn't think about Lin Chao or the culprit who killed Ram, although the possibility was very small, but he paid enough attention to it.
In addition to the fact that he was a third-level mutant with old qualifications, he also brought more than a dozen people to directly surround Lin Chao, who had returned to the city from bunker No. 15 alone.
"Lacey, say it, how did you kill Ram and the others. You are also a member of the Brotherhood, and I will intercede with the President on your behalf. If you don't say it, I'll have to use some means. ”
Lin Chao was surrounded in the middle, like a sheep in a pack of wolves.
"Vice President, everyone knows that Ram has nothing to do with me. Now the gendarmes are still checking on me, and you can't run away from me. You are the leader of the brotherhood, I have no official position, there is no need. ”
"Maybe it's not necessary, but you're alone now, and even if you're missing, no one will know, and I, however, have made serious plans, and not only me, but everyone here is ready for this covert operation. Well, time is limited, to say it or not to say it!"
Bell's face gradually changed to a man-eating tiger, and strangely enough, he found that Lin Chao's expression was calmer.
Why, could it be that he had been prepared, or did the Bert family send a master to follow.
Seeing Lin standing with that strange expression, Bell made a gesture to make a gesture.
It didn't take long for him to know why.
A gust of wind blew, dust rolled, shouts of killing, gunshots rang out a few times, and the light that appeared everywhere quickly went out, and after a while, Lin Chao was still the only one standing in front of Bell.
Yes......
Bell was just about to attack, but found that his whole body was cold and weak, and he fell to the ground and couldn't help himself.
He didn't know what was going on, how Lin Chao had attacked.
When Lin Ran raised his right hand, he finally saw clearly that there was an index finger missing, and then watched as a finger flew back into his hand.
Bell understood, it was that finger that hurt him.
"It turns out that you have reached the third level, and sure enough, you did it when Ram disappeared. ”
"I'm not at level 3 yet, but that doesn't stop you from dealing with you who think you're smart. ”
Lin clapped his hands indiscriminately, "I don't want to have a conflict with anyone at all, I don't interest what you want to do as long as it's none of my business, the problem is that you have to come to me, I really don't understand." ”
Bell had mixed feelings in his heart, and asked with all his might, "Do I still have a chance to stay alive?"
Lin Ran's hands were spread, "It's a pity, I can't help it at this time, this move is a one-hit kill, and the same is true for people who are much more powerful than you." ”
There was silence.
Compared to the scene of Ram's death last time, this time the scene was bigger and there were more things to solve, but fortunately, Bell picked a good place, and he took some time to clean up.
......
Lin Chao returned to the city and was comforted by Albert again, allowing him to study with peace of mind.
It didn't take long this time, it was only three days, and Captain Connor came uninvited.
When Connor followed the butler into the house, he saw a messy study, full of books and papers, and a large desk full of piles.
Connor said to the butler, "Sure enough, it's from Bert's family, and I have a headache when I see a book." ”
The butler smiled but said nothing.
Lin Ran's hair was messy like a bird's nest, and he wore dark frames and looked blank.
"Whether Captain Connor has found a new clue or not, I still say the same thing, Ram is none of my business. ”
Connor pulled his chair and sat down, "Ram's affairs have indeed taken a new turn, it just so happened that Ram drove a truck before he disappeared and was found in Bunker 15, which means that Ram is likely to disappear in Bunker 15, where you happen to be there." ”
He thought that Lin Chao would be somewhat surprised, but Lin Chao's expression did not change, "That's really a bit of a coincidence." ”
Connor knew that there was no way to force Lin Chao in this matter, the truck could only be said to be suspicious, and the gendarmerie would not spend too much energy to track it down, just a Ram, and not a big man.
Besides, the mere suspicion of this would make sure the president of the Brotherhood would act, as long as he had to finish it up when the time came.
But a new situation has emerged, and this is the reason why he came to Lin Chao.
"According to the understanding, Bell, the vice president of the Brotherhood, attaches great importance to you, and it was he who recommended you to Bert's house in the first place, have you seen him recently?"
Lin Chao said: "Yes, he sent someone to me to ask about Ram, and our relationship is not bad." ”
Connor smiled, "Then you should help find it, Bell is missing, and the Tammu you know, who is about the same as Ram, is suddenly gone." ”
Lin Lan leaned back in his chair and said softly, "I think something big happened to the brotherhood, Ram is the next president, Bell is the vice president, and they are not ordinary members." I used to be a squad leader in the Brotherhood, and I was still a newcomer, and I could only do what I could. ”
Connor nodded, the last thing he wanted was a power struggle within the organization that caused chaos, and the disappearance of Ram and Bell didn't cause panic in the city, so he didn't have much pressure.
As long as they don't get caught up in the city, whatever they do.
The purpose of his visit is to observe Lin Chao, and the second is to remind the Bert family that whether this matter has anything to do with Lin Chao or not, he will face the wrath of the Brotherhood President.
After Connor left, the butler did not leave immediately, saying, "Mr. Lacey, there are people who have been missing in a row, and I am afraid that the Brotherhood will be angry with you, and the family will not be spared." ”
Lin said: "The Bert family is not something that the Brotherhood can provoke, this is what Albert said. ”
"Of course," said the butler, "but the Brotherhood can deal with individual people by dirty means, and I will tell Mr. Albert about that." ”
As it turned out, a letter from the Brotherhood arrived in Albert's possession in the afternoon, demanding an explanation.
Suspicious people appear outside Bert's house, seemingly watching, forcing Albert to remind everyone to stay safe in the near future.
There was no explanation, and Albert thought of a way to find a friend to put pressure on the brotherhood, and then let Lin Chao hide for a while.
Lin Chao took the initiative to follow the mercenary group to exercise his combat ability, Albert did not object, in fact, he regretted choosing Lin Chao, not only did he not help the family but caused all kinds of trouble, but he was also very anxious and did not approve of his arrangement.
And his mother Greene and sister Effie don't like this man, and it's only because he unlocks the secret of his father's locker that he rejects it.
"Let him go out and experience the real society, maybe it will be different when he comes back, and if he dies outside, there is no way. ”
Albert wrote a letter and asked Lin to go to the Eagle Regiment, the head of the regiment had a good relationship with Albert, and they had a fixed team to hunt in the Red Maple Forest.
After contact, Lin Ran will set off with the group in five days.
On the third day, Elaine came to him and was very excited to tell him one thing, the Bert family wanted to train her and make her a member of the Bert family.
After Lin Chao's encouragement, she said that she was going out, Elaine was a little disappointed, and wanted to get further guidance from Lin Lan.
"Mentor, when you come back, I'll be level two, the same level as you. ”
The housekeeper of the Bert family told her that she could be promoted to the second level within a month, and then lay the foundation, Elaine didn't expect that there would be a big family that wanted her, and it was Lin Lan's family, so she joked excitedly.
Lin laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to surpass my day." ”
Elaine said, "I want to make a pact with my mentor that if I surpass you, you promise me one thing. ”
Lin Chao agreed without hesitation, and Elaine left satisfied.
...... Longlong
The ice river is unblocked, the north wind is still raging, and there are mercenary groups out of the city every day, and only by getting resources in the wild can they return to the city to enjoy.
Although the captain Afra has beautiful lines, he is 1.85 meters tall and looks powerful in special leather armor.
When they met, it was the first time she and Lin Ran met, and Afra smiled and pressed Lin Ran's shoulder, "Follow me will have to endure hardships, you have to think clearly, look at this." ”
She pulled out the necklace from her chest, and there was a small sign hanging from it, and inside was a photograph of a young girl.
"I used to be like this, just because I did rough work every day and became the ghost I am now, how big a difference do you say. Alas, the beautiful girl has become a big old man, and there is nothing more painful in life than this. ”
There were fifteen people in the team, who were already used to Afra's teasing, and no one was surprised.
Lin laughed, he didn't expect to meet such a funny person.
"I thought the most painful thing was that I mutated but didn't show skills, and the captain was really different. ”
"You're such a clever ghost, I don't have skills. ”
Afra deliberately got angry, grabbed Lin Chao's collar with one hand and lifted him off the ground, "Give you a chance to retract what you just said and say it again." ”
Lin Chao said unhurriedly: "Okay, I was wrong, Captain Pretty Girl." ”
"I love to hear that. ”
Afra put down Lin Chao and laughed.
With a captain like Afra, the atmosphere of the team is very relaxed, and it is also because Afra leads the team, and it is rare for there to be six women in the team.
There are very few women in the general mercenary group, unless they have to.
Lin Lan understood that Afra's strength must be strong enough, otherwise he wouldn't let them out.
The group entered the Red Maple Forest immediately after the supply in Fenglin East Town, everyone was painted with camouflage on their bodies, and their faces were no exception, and it was difficult to tell who was who just by looking at their faces.
Afra led the team into four groups, which were responsible for searching, frontal combat, long-range attack, and mobile support.
The team leader, Big Sweet Potato, was a bearded man taller and more powerful than Afra, and he carried thirty javelins, which was very peculiar.
I ran into mutant pigs on the road, and when I saw them, I ran away, and no one chased them.
Afra likes to talk to the newcomer Lin Ran, and deliberately explains, "Don't waste your energy hunting if you don't have valuable mutant beasts, unless we are very unlucky, and we will catch a few when we go back." ”
Lin Lan nodded and asked, "Captain, what should I do if I run out of javelins for big sweet potatoes?"
Afra laughed: "When it's done, he doesn't just use javelins, but also sniper rifles." ”
She said and was next to Lin Chao, making Lin Chao look at her with puzzled eyes.
Afra whispered, "I like people like you who read books, do you want to make a friend?"
She should know I'm Effie's husband.
Lin was speechless and asked, "What kind of friend?"
Afra put her arms around him condescendingly, "The kind that can do anything." ”
Lin Lan didn't expect that he had such a great charm, and he felt like he had returned to his original peak.
Before he could speak, there was wind in front of him.
It was the team member in charge of searching ahead, "Boss, there's someone in the cave." ”
The cave is a pronoun, and the team does not count where they go, but buys maps and information in advance.
The first destination was the Nameless Cave, but I didn't expect that there were already other people inside.
Everyone's faces changed, and Afra strode forward and asked, "Who is it, how many, is it strong?"
The man replied, "There are nine of them now, at least two of them of the third level. ”
Hunting in the wild will inevitably encounter competition, no one will be afraid or afraid of things, if you encounter a strong mutation, no one will be able to survive, so this is a dangerous job.
Afra said, "Keep an eye on them, we're outside the cave for the time being. ”
Lin Chao didn't know what was in the cave, it must be valuable anyway, otherwise the team would have taken a detour and left.
Although he is a newcomer, there are times when it is his turn to keep an eye on it, as a member of the long-range attack team, he hides behind a rock with a gun, and digs a half-person-deep hole underneath, which can be shrunk at a critical moment.
After staring at them for a day, someone recognized that several of them were not organizations registered in the city, but the Vulcan Cult composed of scattered people.
There has been this religion in history, and as for what the current Vulcan Cult has to do with it, Afra and these people don't know or care, the key is that the people of the Vulcan Sect now occupy their target location.
If it's an organization in the city, it still talks about some rules, but the foundation of the Vulcan Sect is not in the city and in the wild, so it doesn't obey discipline, and its style is out-of-the-box, and it's easy to start a war without saying a word.
After much thought, Afra decided to bypass the cave and go to the second target.
"Oh no, boss, the road ahead was blocked by the people of the Vulcan Sect, and the third was almost hit by an arrow. ”
Hearing the report of the pathfinder, Afra also burst into anger, "Damn rabbit cubs, it's really a tiger who doesn't use his power to be a sick cat, lure them over to do a wave." ”
Lin Lan felt that he shouldn't fight, the Vulcan Sect might have something important here, but it wasn't his turn to speak, it didn't matter if he fought, he could earn loot if he fought, but he could run if he couldn't fight, and experienced hunters did this.
He volunteered as a sniper and climbed a large tree to find a target a kilometer away.
Although the sniper rifle in his hand is not as good as the growler in the small universe, it is not an ordinary product, it is a phantom sniper rifle given by Albert, a large-caliber and high-power firearm for mutants, and a bullet costs 10 oil coins.
Lin Lan felt that the price of bullets was a pit, but there were only two companies selling this kind of bullets in the city, and the price was the same, so he had no choice.
He was rock-steady with a twig between his legs, the long barrel of the gun hidden in the dense foliage.
"One person was found. ”
Lin Chao reported to the big sweet potato.
Big Sweet Potato said: "Don't lock him, you may be sensed murderous, listen to the order to shoot." ”
"Roger. ”
Lin Ran saw more people through the scope, and it looked like a shift change.
The signal for the attack was the javelin of the big sweet potato, which flew through the air and exploded like a cannonball when it landed.
Lin Lan understood the positioning of the big sweet potato, the human mortar.
"Get to work. ”
Bang!
The sound of the phantom sniper rifle was relatively quiet, and Lin Chao hit the first shot, and the man died as soon as he showed his head.
Not only him, but the rest of the ranged group also opened fire one after another, making a surprise attack on the Vulcan Cult's defenses.
