The early summer of 2018 in the Terran Era of the Kamihara Continent.

A month and a half later in the evening. Yi Ting finally walked out of the forest, and what he saw was a small town, and after entering the town, he asked a dozen questions and realized that it was actually in the territory of the Northern Ming Empire.

The Shenyuan Continent is vast, with different races living there, and there are three largest countries in the human region: the imperial Northern Ming Empire, the parliamentary Southern Regions Federation, and the Demon Capital Autonomous State.

Strictly speaking, the Demon Capital Country is not a country, it is more like a chaotic region without national leadership, with many forces intertwined and juxtaposed, and no national governance structure, it is a paradise for mercenary associations, killer organizations, gangster forces, Qinglou business, financial predators, arms dealers and other gray organizations.

In the Demon Capital area, both the Imperial Currency and the Federation Currency can be used, and the exchange ratio is also comparable, but fortunately, Yi Ting has both currencies, so it will not be difficult to move an inch here.

I found a humble hotel in town, had a full meal, then took a shower and slept for a good night, and the next morning changed into the clean clothes that the hotel attendant had bought.

Walking on the streets of the town, the traffic is busy, it is very noisy, quite a lot of them are young adults with weapons and military uniforms, and Yi Ting, a 1.7-meter-tall teenager with a 1.5-meter-tall sniper spear, walks on the street and is not particularly conspicuous.

I walked into a small grocery store called He Ji, bought a civilian map of the empire, and found that the place where I was located was the district of Taishan City, Yuanyang Prefecture.

"Boss, how can there be a supply of federal M-series *** bullets in town?" The border area is relatively easy to obtain weapons and combat supplies, Yi Ting smiled and asked the old man of the shopkeeper generously.

Glancing at Yi Ting's sunny smile, the old man smiled in a sharp tone.

"You have money?"

"A little."

"How much?"

"Twenty."

"Five hundred, Imperial Coins."

“...... It's expensive! ”

"Half a month ago, the wolf clan in the west attacked us humans in an all-out way, you know? Both the Confederation and our empire have been attacked, and in a short period of time, 200,000 human troops have died, you know? It's time of war, you know? In times of war, the price of weapons and bullets has to rise sharply, you know? The old man changed his style of conversation.

"Oh, no wonder your little grocery store has to sell ......, and federal dollars don't accept it?" Yi Ting touched his beardless chin and smiled again.

“......”

"I have two hundred and twenty-five Imperial Coins,...... Cheaper? ”

“......”

“…… Give one? ”

Ten minutes later, Yi Ting bought nine bullets at ten times the usual market price, plus one that he wanted to give away.

"Young man, now that the empire and the federation are going to form a joint anti-wolf volunteer army, you can go to Taishan City to enlist in the army." The deal was done, and the old man finally spoke again.

"I'm afraid of death."

"Seeing that you are very good at living a well-calculated and dead-faced life, it is estimated that it is not easy to die on the battlefield."

Yi Ting, who had always been gentle and polite and had a bright smile, finally darkened his face, turned around and walked out of the shop, and the treacherous laughter of the old man of the shopkeeper came from behind him.

As soon as he left the door, two young soldiers came up to him.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find the people of the Snow Eagle Mercenary Group, the reward for providing news from the crescent moon is 10,000 yuan, I have to invite a few brothers to have a drink tonight......"

"Hahaha...... Good! Tonight I please! ”

While talking, the two of them had walked away quickly, and Yi Ting turned around and walked back to the grocery store after listening.

"Kind boss, I want to see if there are any job postings in the newspaper." Yi Ting's smile was as bright as just now.

The old man rolled his eyes, and the meaning of being too lazy to take care of it was very obvious.

Yi Ting took all the newspapers on the counter and the coffee table and read them one by one.

In less than ten minutes, the "Yuanyang Mansion Daily" in the last two months has been read.

"Young man, you are not slow to read the newspaper!" After all, the old man was interested in Yi Ting's speed of reading the newspaper.

Yi Ting didn't pay attention to it, and pondered by himself.

There are two pieces of news in the newspaper that have attracted Yi Ting's special attention, one is about the 91st-ranked Snow Eagle Mercenary Group being wiped out by the 10th-ranked Crescent Mercenary Group, and the Crescent Moon continues to offer a bounty to track down the whereabouts of the Snow Eagle members.

The other is that the fourth-ranked Mountain Rat Mercenary Group and the fifth-ranked Lotus Mercenary Group jointly ambushed the third-ranked Wind and Rain House Mercenary Group, and the result was a defeat for both.

There is no information about the Sparrow and Pheasant Mercenary Group in the newspaper, and it seems that the Crescent Moon has set up an eyeliner in all the human towns on the edge of the Demon Capital Forest to track down the whereabouts of the Snow Eagle Mercenary Group, which shows that the forces represented by the Mercenary Moon attach great importance to Zhu Luoguo, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Crescent Moon has not yet paid attention to the Sparrow and Pheasant Mercenary Group.

The old man of the shopkeeper walked over and saw that Yi Ting had finally stopped at the news page where the Snow Eagle had been destroyed.

"Well, the sparrow is in the house?" The old man said something seemingly unintentionally.

The old man's voice made Yi Ting excited, and his hand quickly grasped the Browning pistol on his waist.

"Don't be nervous, follow me." The old man saw that the temptation had worked, stretched out his hands to show that there was no malice, and then turned around and walked to the back room.

Yi Ting hesitated for a moment, and then followed in.

After entering the house, the old man slowly walked to a desk, turned back to signal Yi Ting to be calm, and then slowly took out a mercenary identity card from the drawer, and then threw it to Yi Ting.

It's the identity card of the Sparrow Mercenary Group!

"What's your last name?" The old man asked kindly.

"My surname is Yi." Comprehensively judging that the old man's cultivation should be lower than his own, Yi Ting hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

"I didn't expect the little guy adopted by Lao Yi to come to me today, the world is really wonderful!" The old man sighed and sighed.

"How's my grandfather?" Yi Ting heard that the other party was actually his grandfather's comrade in the Sparrow Mercenary Regiment back then, so he let down his guard and asked with some excitement.

"Hehe, Lao Yitou was the best sniper in our Sparrow Mercenary Regiment back then! I have relied on him several times to pick up a life......" The old man fell into memory, did not respond to Yi Ting's question, and first took out a cigarette for himself and lit it.

"You can guess it, I am a former member of Sparrow, and I am also your grandfather's friend's partner back then, my name is He Zhong, I worked as an intelligence collector in the mercenary group, and after your grandfather quit the mercenary industry and settled in the magic capital Binhai City, I also returned here to my hometown, but we have always kept in touch. Four years ago, your grandfather said he was happy to adopt a child with a great talent for sniping...... Well, he's fine now, after the Snow Eagle Mercenary Group was wiped out a month and a half ago, I had already asked him to change his residence, rest assured, no one can find him at present, and he has nothing to do with this mission, so he won't be in trouble. By the way, you really don't remember anything from four years ago? ”

Knowing that his grandfather was well, Yi Ting put down a stone in his heart.

"Thank you, Grandpa He! I can't remember four years ago, I woke up and was rescued from the beach by my grandfather, who was said to have been hit by a large meteorite in the depths of the ocean that caused a tsunami, and my grandfather speculated that I might have been a survivor on a ship at sea. Yi Ting sincerely thanked him and explained his situation back then.

"Oh, if you don't die, there will be a blessing! Haha, come, tell me the details of your mission. ”

Except for Zhu Luoguo's choice not to say, Yi Ting explained the rest of the situation in detail.

A day later, according to He Zhong's suggestion, Yi Ting registered at the Volunteer Army Registration Office of Taishan City, Yuanyang Prefecture, and planned to blend in with the front-line army first, temporarily hiding for a while, and avoiding the pursuit of the powerful Crescent Mercenary Group.

In addition, He Zhong also believed that with Yi Ting's shooting talent, he would definitely be able to get ahead quickly when he arrived at the troops.

There are thousands of people in the registration office, and after the initial examination, a medical examination is required, and those who pass are placed in various hotels in the city.

"Colonel Kim, among the people who have undergone a physical examination, a person with an extremely abnormal heart rate and brain wave data has been found, and he is suspected of being an anomaly." A doctor in charge of the physical examination reported on the phone.

"Then report the information to the third child's Abnormal Ability Research Institute...."In the hotel not far from the recruitment registration office, a middle-aged man answered the phone while continuing to move on a bewitching woman.

"Yes!"

Colonel Jin is the second son of the current head of the Jin family, one of the five major families of the empire, Jin Weikai, the third Jin Weide he said in his mouth, was losing his temper at this time.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! The crescent mercenary group can't even put a small snow eagle on the table, it's really a waste! Kim Weide dropped a teacup on the ground.

"Third young master, dissipate your anger, this time it was also the Mu family who played a good trick, Mingli entrusted the mercenary group of Fengyulou to get Zhuluo fruit, and misled the two mercenary groups of mountain rats and lotus flowers hired by us to ambush Fengyulou, but secretly but unnoticedly found an unpopular snow eagle to pick the real Zhuluo fruit, hehe."

The one who spoke was a senior guest secretary and staff officer of the Jin family, who was fifty-six years old this year, and who worked hard with the current head of the family, Jin Yuanhu, in his early years, and made a lot of contributions, and his status was transcendent.

"Hmph, I can't do it if I'm not in a hurry, grandpa's body doesn't know how long it can last...... Ay! Jin Wei sighed deeply, and then suddenly became stern, "Come on, inform the crescent moon to step up the investigation, and I will give them another three months!" If the whereabouts of Zhu Luoguo can't be found, there is no need for a crescent moon in the employment world. ”

"Yes!"

"Also, the second brother is recruiting volunteers in Yuanyang Mansion in the east, and he has also been notified to send additional people to investigate."

"Yes!"

The recruitment in charge of Jin Weikai lasted for a week, and finally the 2,000 qualified people were sent directly to Songyang City, Xiyuan Prefecture, in the western part of the empire, by ten transport planes, and stationed at the second mechanic training base of the Western Legion of the empire.
