This time, with the help of iron-willed commission, he finally came from the human world to the Borderlands.

It stands to reason that Su Mo should secretly run to more places and get more things back.

But now the situation is too chaotic, and I don't know how many people from the Iron and Black Regions are still fighting in the surrounding area.

Although Dongdong's injury is not life-threatening, it cannot be left alone, and it will definitely worsen after a long time.

The items that can be obtained later cannot be more important than the companion in any way.

So Su Mo didn't go anywhere else, and went straight back to the Winter Mountain checkpoint with Dongdong and Dorn.

It was already night when he arrived, and in order to prevent the sentry from misjudging the cold shot, he turned the flashlight on and off, and typed the universal joint code for this operation.

"Identity." Soldiers on the guard tower shouted.

Sumer: "TL730 Exploration Team!" ”

A holographic laser shines from the watchtower, creating an area of light on the ground.

Soldier: "Stand in." ”

Su Mo led the two of them into the light zone.

The holographic laser swept over them, quickly identifying the birth signs and comparing them with the database.

"Hum-" The checkpoint door opened, and Su Mo walked in.

The captain of the sentry in charge of the night patrol came over with more than a dozen soldiers, looking Su Mo and the others up and down: "What's the matter?" ”

Dorn, who had not spoken, suddenly shouted, "Kill him!" This person joined forces with the Blackdomain Group to interfere with the TL730 process, and the mercenaries were killed! He also wants to take me hostage through the checkpoint! Kill him!! ”

The sentries' faces suddenly changed drastically, and more than a dozen guns were aimed at Su Mo at the same time.

Dongdong glared at Dorne angrily, "Are you special?!" ”

"Don't move!" The captain of the sentry stopped the knock that was about to move, pointed a gun at Su Mo's head, and said coldly, "Put down our personnel." ”

Summer glanced sideways at Dorne.

This guy is quite clever.

No news has come back yet, and the Winter Mountain checkpoint is not aware of the status of TL730.

When it comes to confrontation, the iron-blooded sentinels must believe in "their own people" more than the two foreign mercenaries.

It would have been better if a conflict had broken out between the two sides, and the two of them would have been killed on the spot, and there was no proof of death.

Donne himself went back and reversed black and white, and if he could still be regarded as a hero who would rather die than give in, he would be promoted on the spot when the time came, and he didn't have to change jobs.

Seeing that Su Mo didn't react, the sentry captain's tone became even more severe: "Put down our personnel!" ”

Su Mo nodded, put down Dorne and Dongdong, and raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and also signaled Dongdong not to be impulsive.

Dorn was carried to safety by several sentinels, and he looked at Su Mo with a sneer with a vicious look in his eyes.

When the sentry came over to handcuff him, Su Mo suddenly said, "Wait, I have something for you." ”

The captain of the sentry asked vigilantly, "What?" ”

Su Mo: "I'm going to put my hand in my arms now and slowly pinch it out with two fingers. If you feel something is unusual, you can stop me with words. ”

The sentinel captain nodded, but he didn't let his guard down, staring at Su Mo's every move.

Under the watchful eyes of the sentinels, Su Mo slowly reached into his arms and took out the multi-function communicator that he had equipped before the operation.

"This thing has a recording function, I had an interesting conversation with Dorne just now, you can take it back and listen to it for yourself." Summer handed over the communicator and looked at Dorn with a mocking gaze.

Meaning: Sample, fight with me?

Dorne came back to his senses, the hope in his eyes completely gone, and his eyes slumped there.

The captain of the sentry took the communicator and handed it to his men: "Take it to the commander." ”

An hour later, Su Mo emerged from the interrogation room and was greeted by the checkpoint commander of the Winter Mountains.

It was a middle-aged man with half-white hair, and he gave Su Mo a symbolic salute, saying, "I have listened to the recording, and combined with Dorne's confession, the situation of TL730 has been basically discovered. Thank you for capturing traitors alive for the Predators, and for bringing back valuable information. ”

Su Mo asked lightly, "What about my companion?" ”

"Chief, I'm here." Knock Knock came around the corner.

All the injuries on her body have been treated by the doctor, and her mental state seems to be much better than before.

Su Mo was relieved and asked the commander, "How is the situation of your other exploration teams?" ”

The commander shook his head: "A large area has been lost, and you are the first exploration team to return safely to the checkpoint in the Winter Mountains. ”

Su Mo: "It's not appropriate to say peace, the thundering mercenaries who traveled with me are all dead." ”

Command: "I'm sorry. ”

Su Mo: "Don't just talk about it, if it's a pity, send a team to TL730 to recover their bodies when the time comes, don't let them lie there forever." ”

Command: "Yes." ”

Sumer: "Anything else?" If not, please send a car to send us back to Crescent City, and then report the situation to the middleman, so that he can settle my payment. ”

Command: "Stay a few more days?" You can take a break here first. ”

Su Mo has the Moon Hidden Arm Blade found from TL730 in his body, which is brought out in violation of regulations, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, nor can it be scanned by conventional security equipment, and must be identified by professional prosthetic detection instruments.

And now, the iron-blooded people are all focused on the attack of the Underworld Group, and they have not considered using a prosthetic detection device on a blood code carrier.

This is a good time to get out of the situation, Su Mo didn't want to stay for a second to prevent changes.

Su Mo replied, "No, I still prefer the bed at home." Please help me arrange it. ”

The commander didn't hold back too much, and directly arranged a special car to send the two back to Crescent City.

The road was far away, Dong Dong slept very deeply on the road, and Su Mo was habitually vigilant and awake the whole time.

It wasn't until the rusty walls of Crescent City appeared at the end of the horizon that all kinds of familiar sights jumped into his eyes that his nerves slowly relaxed.

Passing through the Rusty Wall checkpoint, Sumo returned home with Dongdong.

It's noon, and KK is making lunch in his apron, when he hears a knock on the door and runs over to open the door: "Big brother and Dongdong are back?" ”

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Mo who was dirty, and Dong Dong, who was missing an arm, KK was so frightened that he lost his voice: "My God! Why did you go?! Future! Come over in the future! ”

Future came out of the kitchen yawning: "Come on, don't scream, what's such a fuss." ”

She looked at Su Mo and Dongdong, and was also shocked: "My God! Why did you go? ”

Su Mo didn't know where to start for a while: "Well, it's a long story, I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first." In the future, you will help Dongdong check her body, and Iron Will will help her deal with it preliminarily, but I don't worry, you check it again. ”

Knock Dong went to the basement with the future.

After Su Mo took a shower, he walked into the basement and asked, "How is it?" ”

Future: "It's all fine, the handling is very professional, there is no problem." ”

Dong Dong lay on the medical bed, looked at the broken arm and sighed: "Hey, it's only been a few days since I installed it, and I've become a one-armed man again, it's really depressing."

Su Mo smiled: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, there will be better substitutes for you soon." ”

Not long after the words fell, the mobile phone rang.

Su Mo opened the screen and saw the contact, and smiled slightly: "Oh, this is here." ”

He coughed lightly, picked up the phone, and deliberately yin and yang: "Hey, this is not a famous old D!" ”

"It's a pleasure to see you call! When I was violently beaten by a beast in TL730, I thought I would never see you again~"

On the other end of the phone, Dresser put away his usual pompous style and said apologetically: "Old Su, I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"I thought it would be an ordinary exploration operation, at most dealing with the wild beasts of the Borderlands, who knew that the Underworld Group would get involved"

Su Mo no longer yin and yang him, and got back to business: "So what do you say next?" ”

Dressy quickly replied: "The commission on your side has been settled normally, and the iron-willed man has also asked me to convey my gratitude to you." ”

Su Mo said unhappily: "Don't talk about these useless things, can you eat thanks as a meal?" Let them give some tangible benefits. ”

Dress: "Well, they should prepare a bonus for you, about 50,000 monthly coins." ”

Su Mo was furious: "50,000? What about sending beggars?! I helped Lady Earl fight for more than 50,000 punches! ”

Dressy comforted: "Lao Su, don't get excited, this kind of big enterprise has a process, and there are so many budgets approved in the early stage, and they can't help it." ”

"The 50,000 yuan is still paid by the project leader himself. No matter how little money is, it's money, right? And you should rejoice, because you make me owe a huge favor! ”

Sumer: "Oh? How so? ”

Dress: "Don't you know, when those exploration teams were completely lost, Iron Will directly sent people to my house to look for trouble!" ”

"They thought I was in the pit with other families! I can't explain it, I don't have a place to cry."

"Okay now, you capture the traitor alive and bring back the information, the iron-blooded people will no longer trouble me, and my reputation will be preserved, so that I will not die socially in the mercenary world, and I can continue to be my middleman. It's all thanks to you~"

This is not a deliberate exaggeration on the part of Dressier, it is indeed true.

In the mercenary world, the existence of "middlemen" is very special.

Theoretically, as long as the price is negotiated, the mercenary can directly connect with the employer for the task, without the need for a middleman.

However, there are significant risks associated with direct docking tasks.

Because with the mercenary's information channels, it is difficult to discern whether the employer is reliable or not.

The same is true for employers.

In the era when the mercenary industry was just emerging and the role of the middleman had not yet appeared, there were many chaos such as employers not paying afterwards, mercenaries running away after taking the deposit, cheating each other, and sitting on the ground to raise prices.

The existence of intermediaries is to prevent these chaos, they rely on their own credibility to recruit good mercenaries for employers, and introduce good employers to mercenaries.

Reputation, which is the most valuable asset of the middleman.

This time, the other exploration teams were destroyed, and no information was sent back.

If the TL730 exploration team is also destroyed, without the valuable information sent back by Sumer, the Predator may really think that Dressy is doing something.

At that time, let alone gain a foothold in the mercenary world, if it is not clear to explain, it is possible that the iron and blood will directly evaporate from the world.

So it is no exaggeration to say that Summer saved Dresser once this time.

Su Mo was lazy and deliberately seemed careless: "Old D, are your favors so useful?" ”

Dresses said seriously: "Of course! It's a must! Haven't you heard that saying - in Crescent City, the happiest thing is to make Old D owe favors, because he will help you with anything. ”

"I'm serious, Lao Su, if you need help in the future, just call me directly, as long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best to help you."

Su Mo was waiting for this sentence, and his tone became relaxed: "Okay, then let the unpleasant things pass." I don't need your help with anything at the moment, but there will definitely be in the future, just don't forget your promises. ”

Dress's mood also became pleasant: "Aha! I'll just say that Lao Su is a big person! Rest assured, I never break my word. ”

Su Mo: "By the way, don't forget to take care of the aftermath of Sun Min's side, they died for the iron blood, don't let the iron and blood people do it hastily, at least the body should be sent back to the family for burial." ”

Dressy looked a little confused: "Huh? Sun Min? Which Sun Min? ”

Su Mo said helplessly: "Just the group of Thundering Mercenary Group who went with me this time." ”

Dresser then remembered and said nonchalantly, "Oh, oh, they." I'm not in charge of the aftermath, the corpse recovery, pension or something, Iron Will will be responsible for handling it, there is a standard process, you don't care. ”

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

A few days ago, everyone was drinking together, talking and laughing.

Turn your head and forget about people completely.

This is Dress, who has a reputation and fame, but is a man of inconsistencies inside and out.

Dress, who was born on the street, and O'Diana, who was born in a famous family, can be said to be two extremes.

O'Diana's attitude towards a person is completely reflected in her words and deeds.

For people who don't value it, she will behave very coldly and don't want to say more to you.

You send a message of hundreds or thousands of words, and she replies with a "um" or "oh" every few hours.

And for people who value it, such as Su Mo, it is to reply to any information in seconds, pay attention to the latest situation at any time, and often take the initiative to impart experience and advice.

What is your status in Madame Earl's heart, it can really be seen at a glance, she will not play with you, and she does not bother to act.

Dressers, on the other hand, is always smiling and seemingly good to everyone.

But you have no idea what he thinks of you in his heart.

Do you think he took the initiative to invite you to drink, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he regarded you as a brother with an old X?

That's just his professional habit, for anyone.

When it's useful, you're a good brother.

You're dead, it's useless, I'm sorry, we don't know each other.

Su Mo has no doubt that if he dies in TL730 this time, someone asks, and Dresser will also say "Su Mo?" Which Sumer? ”

For this kind of person, the best way is to believe and guard.

Putting aside that layer of hypocrisy, Dresser is indeed a good middleman with excellent business skills.

As long as it can be mutually beneficial, it is okay for everyone to call each other brothers, and they should come and go, and there is no need to be morally clean.

But don't have a relationship with such people.

Sincerity and sincerity should be left to people like O'Diana.
