Ilan Bird looked up at the rain-drummed building in front of him, took a closer look, and saw a small scythe sign.

In this way, it can be regarded as a little more reassuring.

He pulled down his hood, blocked the rain, and walked under the eaves.

On the side, I found a small door, and knocked on it six times according to a special rhythm.

Only then did the door open a small slit, revealing an orange light.

A child who looked no more than five or six years old poked his head out timidly from within. One eye is normal, but the other has a large hole dug out of the socket and inserted into a mechanical prosthetic eye.

The child looked up at the unfamiliar face under Bird's hood, alerted that it was not a familiar person, and quickly tried to close the door, but Bird raised his hand to resist it.

How can a five- or six-year-old child have the strength to compete with an adult?

With only a slight force, Bird pushed the door open a gap large enough for him to pass through.

He quickly dodged in and closed the door again.

The boy sat on the ground, looking at him with fear on his face, and opened his mouth to scream loudly, but Bird, who quickly leaned down, covered his mouth.

"Shh......h

"Let him go!"

Bird's hand movement stopped.

The boy broke free, and crawled behind the comer, hiding with his hands and feet, and only his head was exposed, and he watched in horror.

Ilan Bird raised his hands and said, "Calm down! Calm down! It's me! ”

"Bird?" The person in the back seemed to hear his voice, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"It's me, Tim, don't get excited." Ilan Bird said, turning around again.

He thought he would see a handsome face.

Tim Venter was the most handsome of their witcher squad. When they took it together, they often teased him, he looked too much like a conspicuous bag, and it was not suitable to be a secret agent in the witcher.

However, when he turned around and actually saw the face of this comrade-in-arms, he was taken aback.

The handsome and dashing young man's face was gone, leaving only a scarred face. From those scars, Bird could vaguely discern what Tim Venter looked like in his memory.

"You...... What happened? ”

Tim Venter slowly lowered the gun in his hand and sighed, "Bird, you shouldn't have come. ”

"How could I not come? The five of you entered Blackbird City, and for more than a month, no news came out. Originally, we agreed to exchange information every week, but we waited for a long time at the intelligence point outside, and we didn't wait for your news, but instead recruited the guards of Blackbird Heavy Industries, and almost exposed ......"

"It's not that we don't want to pass on information......" Vent said halfway through his sentence and stopped again.

He leaned down first, said to the little child hiding behind him, let him go, and then said to Bird, "Let's go, go to the back and rest first, drink a cup of hot water, and we'll talk about it again." ”

……

Ilan Bird and Tim Vent, both of whom are members of the Alliance Witcher Order, and can be considered the first members.

When the Demon Hunter Organization was just established, the two teams recruited, one went south to fight corruption, and the other was the team of the two of them.

They set off with the caravan and headed west, staying for some time in the oasis settlements of the West Desert, gathering some information, and then continuing westward to the west of the continent.

Their ultimate goal is to collect information about Blackbird Heavy Industries here on the west side of the continent, and work hard for the alliance to recover the last piece of land on this planet in the future.

Now, the only remaining enemy on the Alliance's Rage Star is Blackbird Heavy Industries.

The many desert oases in the Western Desert, the settlements built on the core of the pre-war plantation factories, little need to be cared for. They have neither a unified organization nor a sufficiently strong military force. After the bumper harvest in the Qinggu region, even the grain that they originally regarded as an important strategic resource in their hands was no longer important to the alliance.

The only obstacle to the recovery of the Western Desert is that they have a shear-and-untidy relationship with Blackbird Heavy Industries.

And when they arrived at the west of the continent, after arriving at the actual control area of Blackbird Heavy Industries, they saw a completely different appearance from what they imagined.

The natural environment here is still very harsh, and the people's lives are still quite difficult, not much better than the many settlements before the liberation by the Alliance, and it is not at all comparable to the current per capita E5 level of living above the Alliance.

However, what is completely different from those settlements before the liberation of the alliance is that the west side of the continent has a complete and unified rule and management.

Based on their life and exploration of this land for almost a year, they feel that the Blackbird Group is a big company—of course, they are—and that the fifteen million people who live here are employees of this company.

There is a strict relationship between the upper and lower levels, there are task indicators that are broken down to each individual, there is an organizational structure of sub-departments, and there is a clear management hierarchy......

From Blackbird City, the headquarters of Blackbird Heavy Industries, an instruction issued can really be conveyed to a specific person layer by layer.

The Blackbird Heavy Union issues its own internal currency, which is paid to everyone as a salary: there is no basic salary, only a commission according to the amount of work and work performance.

In the same way, they will also open supply stations in various places. Residents can use their wages to buy their own living needs......

This kind of social form has brought a lot of trouble to Bird and the demon hunters who have just entered this place, in the process of collecting information.

They are fresh faces, and in this huge 'company', there is relatively little contact between departments, and they are relatively familiar faces with each other.

At the beginning, they made a lot of trouble, exposed their identities, and were hunted down.

But gradually, they soon found some tricks.

In the large company of Blackbird Heavy Industries, there are many common problems that large organizations have: there are too many people, the difficulty of the organization increases, and it is difficult to know each other.

They rely more on identity plates and codes to identify each other.

Ambushes, captives, interrogations, tortures...... They got a lot of information, and gradually learned how to disguise, and began to gradually become like a fish in water.

Soon, they were no longer satisfied with simply gathering intelligence on the periphery. Their eyes began to focus on Blackbird City, the headquarters of Blackbird Heavy Industries.

However, there is a different world.

Mysterious, so closed that they couldn't even find a way to get into, as if a huge city, estimated to be home to seven million people, didn't need to communicate inside and outside.
