When Zero arrives at the union hall, he gives Theon's name and is quickly taken to an elegant office. As Remut's second chair, Theon's office is not as broad as he imagined, but it is delicate enough. Whether it's office utensils or the leather sofa for guests, it all exudes the smell of the old times. These things are not available with money, which means that Theon does not have a special penchant for haode in this regard, then it means that he has a deeper and broader liliang that cannot be seen on the surface.

In addition to Theon, there were three other people in the office.

The three men were two men and one woman, and both men were Caucasian. A large man dressed as a mercenary, wearing a simple protective suit like Zero, but more than half a size of his head, with a heavy machine gun on his back. Zero's mind quickly searched for information to match the heavy machine gun, which was the M134 aviation machine gun, usually mounted on a gunship, with excellent fire suppression, and a maximum rate of fire of 6000/min, which was enough to tear through the body of any regular creature.

Of course, the recoil of this machine gun is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Since this big man can use it, then there is one thing that is certain, that is, at least the third-order liliang enhancement ability. Otherwise, this man would not be able to use this big guy.

The other man standing next to the big man was much thinner and thinner. He was wearing a trench coat and was not carrying any weapons. But standing next to him, you can feel a chill. It wasn't the touch of murder or any other breath, it was a real coldness. If he hadn't guessed wrong, Zero thought that this person must be an Elemental Domain powerhouse.

As for Zuihou, a woman, she has the same Asian ancestry as Zero. The long black hair was tied up high, and the face was not pretty, but it had a fiery body. The black tights frame the figure, and the lightweight composite armor on the shoulders, chest, and calves provides some protection. And a long sword that hangs diagonally behind the back is reminiscent of the swordsman profession.

Neither the great strength of a heavy machine gun man, nor the aura of the elemental domain like the thin man. Zero doesn't feel any breath in this woman, but that doesn't mean that the other person is weak, on the contrary, she makes Zero feel more dangerous.

In the wilderness, the silent snake is much more problematic than the ferocious bear.

"Come, I'll introduce you. This is Zero, and he has a mercenary license granted by the Parkland chaebol. ”

After seeing Zero come in, Theon stood up and introduced everyone.

Under Theon's introduction, Zero also meets the other three.

The man with the heavy machine gun on his back was called Tyrannosaurus, of course, this is not a name, but a code name. And he did have the ability of third-order liliang enhancement as Zero expected, and the other abilities were second-order defensive enhancement and heavy weapon specialization.

The thin man's name was Raff, he was Russian, he had only one ability, but he was proficient in the third-order water element. It is also a third-order ability, but the power of the elemental domain is far greater than that of the fighting domain. So, even though Raff's abilities weren't the more destructive fire or thunder elementals, no one dared to underestimate him.

As for the woman with the katana, her name was Su, who was Chinese. Her abilities are relatively average, Liliang of the second order and agility mastery, but her cold weapon specialization has reached the fifth order. As far as zero knows, although weapon mastery is the most common ability in the field of all abilities, once it reaches the fifth level or above, no matter what kind of weapon mastery it is, it can be called a master.

It is conceivable that this woman's attainments in the long sword must be extraordinary.

Compared to them, there is only a first-order liliang and defense enhancement, plus a second-order agility enhancement of zero, which is simply pitifully weak. And the free sight distance of Zero's golden right eye is a support ability, and the combat power that can be blessed is limited. And Zero also deliberately concealed this ability, so when his stats were reported from Theon's mouth, Zero could see that both Tyrannosaurus and Raff were casting disdainful glances at him.

As for Sakura, she didn't show any expression from beginning to end.

Theon gave the four of them a general overview of the mission.

The target of this promotion mission is a state university in Kadam B, which is one of the most desirable strongholds in Remut's expansion. But now, the university is overrun by a group of monsters called rock spiders. This mutated creature has a rock-like shell, and in addition to its rock-like defense, it can also act as a stealth.

The biggest trouble is that rock spiders usually live in colonies, and this monster has a fairly rapid ability to reproduce, which makes them one of the most difficult monsters to completely destroy. And every spring breeding season, the rock spider will be in an unusually high state. At this point, their danger will skyrocket.

Although they are only second-level dangerous monsters, once they move, they are on the scale of thousands or hundreds, and just seeing this kind of scene, even the more timid people will be scared to death. In the spring breeding season, in order to ensure enough food, rock spiders go out in groups to hunt for food. And the ideal place for them to hunt and feed is, of course, Remut, which is inhabited by 5,000 people.

Remut's side is not without thinking about destroying these monsters, but neither the number of soldiers nor the firepower is up to this task, and with Remut's current Liliang, he can only achieve limited self-protection during the breeding season.

But this time, Remut made a big decision to expand Jihua. If the situation allows, they will wipe out this group of monsters. But the problem is, the state university has been devastated. Crumbling school buildings and broken tunnels have turned it into a complex labyrinth. Unless Remut has a private satellite in outer space, it will be able to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the university. Otherwise, the only way to do this is to send mercenaries like Zero deep into the university to reconnoiter to determine the location of the rock spider's nest, so that they can use their limited forces to strike at their fixed points.

The first part of the promotion mission, which is the initial mission, is to scout the entire university to find the location of the rock spider's lair. A further task is to create a detailed map of the university, including an overview of the terrain and the distribution of monsters. The third level quest is to bring back the active specimen of the rock spider to help Remut's biologists find the monster's weaknesses. Zuihou's ultimate mission is to wipe out the rock spiders, and of course, Theon doesn't expect a few mercenaries to do what even Remut can't.

Therefore, the so-called ultimate task is far more significant than practical.

After listening to Theon's overview, the Russian Raff said: "I think three people are enough for such a task, and there is no need to add another one...... Rubbish. ”

Zero was indifferent and said lightly: "I don't want to act with the soft egg who gasps for breath after running two steps, if there is nothing else, I will take a step first." ”

Elemental Domain Abilities pay more attention to the strength of mental strength rather than the strength of physical fitness. But no man wants to be called a softie, so the air around Raff is even colder. Looking at Zero leaving the office alone, Raff's resentful eyes were full of the words "I'm going to kill you".
