Two days later, the convoy struggled over the foothills and drove straight down the renovated road, Ye Suqin sat on the roof of the truck and leaned over to look, and at the end of the field of vision, a brightly lit town was in sight.

Cartlet's headquarters are built on abandoned towns of the old era, which tend to be very popular with new-age companies. They are not like those large cities that are cared for by many parties, and they need to deal with countless metamorphoses and weirdness. You don't even know where these monsters are derived from, but there are so many of them that they can't be killed or disturbed.

Of course, more energy is also about dealing with knives handed by your own kind from behind. Cities with abundant resources are often the favorite of major organizations, and no one will sit idly by.

On the contrary, the competition for this kind of small town is not so fierce, and it is better to use it for building a base.

Except for a small number of destroyed by the war, most of the towns are intact, so there is no need to spend energy on the construction of buildings, and they can often be used after simple decoration, and although the types of resources are not as rich as in large cities, they are still enough for infrastructure construction, and the maintenance cost is low enough.

From the scale, it can be seen that this old town had a permanent population of about 30,000 to 50,000 in its heyday, and it was relatively scattered and covered a huge area. Carterit has only occupied and restored the southeastern corner, and is still surrounded by large areas of building ruins and abandoned villages.

A narrow two-meter-high wall blocks civilization and barbarism, and outlines the general outline of the headquarters. A little further away from the city wall, about a kilometer or so, there are some angle iron welded horses and barbed wire, and even some open areas are very conspicuously erected signs that do not enter minefields.

Outside the town, more than a dozen patrol squads patrol in off-road vehicles.

At this point, a three-tier defense system consisting of patrols, mine belts, and city walls was formed into the external defense module of the headquarters.

Most of the roads leading to and from the town have been repaired, trucks are coming in and out, barricades are made of sandbags at the exits, guarded by several soldiers with guns, and at each of the four corners of the town is a concrete guard tower seven or eight meters high, and the dark muzzles of the towers watch silently over the empty wasteland.

Taylor's convoy drove into town in the evening, and the sentinels at the gate seemed to be old friends, and let them in after only a cursory examination of their papers.

The headquarters of Carterit is not large, and the most striking thing is an eighteen-storey twin star building in the center, which stands out in this area, and the surrounding buildings are basically about five floors, because of geographical relations, few buildings in the new era are so high.

That's the headquarters building.

A half-meter-high breastwall is built along the outside of the headquarters building, which looks like an irregular positive direction from the air enclosing the headquarters building and the surrounding area, which is the core area, and only relevant personnel are allowed to enter and exit. Along the low walls, there are a large number of cameras, infrared detection, and facial recognition systems, while the swarthy muzzles of a holographic automatic weapon platform constantly shake from side to side with the scanners, staring maliciously at everyone who wants to enter the red zone.

In addition to the red exclusive area, the rest of the area is dotted with hotels, bars, warehouses, parking lots, etc., for customers who come to trade with the company. And the company's own members will also come to the entertainment area to relax in their spare time.

Behind the headquarters building are a cluster of factories that produce everything from canned goods, cement and steel to weapons and equipment. At the other end is a small power plant that provides power. Of course, the scale of production here cannot be compared with the old era, and there is no economy of scale. But in these turbulent times, most of the necessary materials to rebuild from the ruins have to be produced yourself.

Taylor greeted the officials who came to hand over at the material concentration station, leaving the adjutant to handle the follow-up. This time he brought five truckloads of supplies, mainly scarce steel, vegetables from the plantation, rice and flour, and some parts to be processed, the last of which contained about twenty women. Slaves, all with enchanting postures and beautiful appearances. These were the spoils of the recent campaign against the bandits, and they belonged to Taylor's personal belongings, which would probably bring him an additional income of about 5,000 to 6,000.

Tai Luo personally drove and pulled Ye Suqin to the military camp located in the north of the town.

Ye Suqin sat in the co-pilot's seat, looking out through the glass window, this is a military camp with an extremely wide area and an extremely complete degree of modernization. The clean and tidy dormitory building, the smooth and standardized plastic running track, and the large number of extravagant facilities such as basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, etc., which are almost unimaginable in the new era, even include a new artificial turf.

Groups of heavily armed soldiers, shouting slogans, walked past them in unison, showing great discipline by not squinting at the sudden appearance of foreign vehicles.

Taylor ran to the office building, and after coming down, he took Ye Suqin directly to the shooting range in the suburbs.

Here I found the examiner in charge of the recruitment of new students in the academy, who is also an old acquaintance of Taylor, Hudson.

Hudson laughed and gave Taylor a bear hug, and after listening to the other party's intentions, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you come two days late, you will have to wait another four years." ”

"What? This time the academy is ahead of schedule? Nothing like this has ever happened before. Taylor was a little surprised.

"Yes, there was some incredible accident," Hudson said.

Taylor's eyebrows jumped slightly.

"In the past, we begged to come to the door to buy Valhalla, but this year is an exception, and it is the other party who took the initiative to ask for cooperation."

"It's really outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous." Taylor opened his mouth wide in surprise and complained.

"It's not peaceful in the south!" Hudson said meaningfully.

"Come on, let me see how the little guy you brought back this time is in condition."

Ye Suqin followed them into the shooting range, and after Hudson heard that the other party was a sniper, he provided an AT-X improved training sniper rifle produced by Precision International.

Ye Suqin had never used this kind of beautifully made, bells and whistles game-specific firearms, and all kinds of dazzling auxiliary accessories and systems almost made him at a loss, so he had to treat it as an ordinary rifle, and loaded it with quick movements, pulled the bolt to load, the metal bolt was well-made and meticulous, the stroke was lubricated smoothly, and a small and exquisite copper-shelled bullet was pushed into the chamber, and through the scope, a can five hundred meters away was impressive.

Ye Suqin pulled the trigger with a glance almost casually, and the whole process from holding the gun, aiming to shooting, only took more than ten seconds.

After the gunshots rang out, the cans in the distance flew away.

Hudson, who was chatting with Taylor on the side, turned his head suddenly, with a look of surprise and joy in his eyes.

Too fast, too accurate.

In the training base, ordinary snipers can only achieve 300 meters to accurately hit a fixed target, which is slightly higher, and after years of training, elite snipers with outstanding talent or who have received genetic modification can achieve 800 meters.

Hudson summoned his aides and motioned for a humanoid bust to be erected a kilometer away. He didn't know if he forgot it, or if he did it on purpose, he didn't change the firearm for Ye Suqin, and used a 12.7 caliber heavy sniper rifle with a longer range, but continued to let him use a medium-range lightweight sniper rifle like AT-X, you must know that after the bullet of this firearm flies out of a certain distance, the trajectory will be affected by all aspects and become unstable.

Ye Suqin crouched on the ground again and took care of his aim, this time for a little longer, and it took more than a minute to pull the trigger.

But it missed, and a puff of smoke rose near the target.

Hudson smiled lightly, trying to comfort the other party, after all, his approach obviously had a strong smell of trouble, but before he could get closer, Ye Suqin put down his gun and stood aside. Hudson's heart moved, he picked up the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand to the adjutant, "Go, run, go and see where the point is." ”

A few minutes later, the adjutant returned in a hurry, spreading out his palms, and a bloody mass of flesh lay on it, judging from the fragmentary appearance, what appeared to be a chameleon.

Hudson's face changed instantly, and the gaze he looked at each other became strange. And the nearby attendant had a constipated expression.

"Alright, Lessert, take our little one to the dorm room for a rest." Hudson clapped his hands, and a young man wearing the rank of lieutenant came out of the crowd, and after a simple military salute, he said lightly to Ye Suqin, "Follow me." ”

Ye Suqin set his eyes on Tai Luo, only to see him bow slightly, so he followed the young lieutenant, they got into a jeep and drove away.

The eyes of the two watched as they departed, and Taylor touched Hudson with his shoulder, only to see him sigh wistfully, "It's a waste to send him to the Academy." ”

"I know," the corners of Taylor's mouth twitched slightly, "Savages from the wilderness often become foils and stepping stones for the children of high-ranking officials in the academy, to put it bluntly, they are bought to accompany them." ”

"But things have to be on the bright side, at least, the academy is relatively fair compared to the damn bad environment outside."

"You seem to be very optimistic about him?" Hudson squinted at him.

"I just met him in the water, and I can't talk about whether I am optimistic or not, I am just a child who was picked up from the wilderness." Taylor shrugged, "I value the benefits this child can bring to me more than emotions. ”

"Of course, after all, I sent it single-handedly, if he is selected, it will be a middle-level cadre of the company, which will benefit me a lot, who doesn't want their political advantage to be as big as possible." Taylor said with a relaxed smile.

Hudson spat at the ground and scolded, "That's why I hate politicians so much." ”

"Such a good sniper seedling, his battlefield should be in the smoke-filled city or jungle-dense wilderness, not at some people's tables." Hudson said, "If this kid falls into my hands, he should be sent to military school to become a lieutenant or join a special operations team as the backbone of long-range tactical strikes, instead of accompanying the princes." ”

"But he's just a soldier after all, isn't he? No matter how good he is, he is just a soldier. "Soldiers are one-time consumables, and it makes no difference whether they are consumed on the battlefield or elsewhere, right?" The important thing is whether the cost loss caused by this consumption is commensurate with the profit that will be made, and if it does, you should not hesitate to invest in it, right? ”

Hudson's eyes were red, and he looked at him with some annoyance, and although he knew that Taylor was telling the truth, the sharp and harsh words still made him very uncomfortable.

Taylor shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, "Alright, now we should talk about pay." ”

"How much do you think this kid is worth?" Taylor shifted to a relaxed position.

"It's hard to say, it's about six thousand to eight thousand, but unfortunately, my authority can only approve your remuneration of four thousand, after all, the budget of the headquarters is also very limited." Hudson told the truth.

"Four thousand is four thousand, I don't want to go to the old men of the board of directors for one or two thousand dollars, that feels really bad." Taylor pursed his lips.

Hudson took out a stack of slips from his purse, tore them off and handed them to him after writing four thousand in the place of the advance payment, Taylor carefully folded the note and put it in his jacket pocket, then hooked Hudson's shoulder and said, "Alright, old man, this is all done, let's go, I will treat you to a drink." ”
