Chapter 43: Drunkenness
When the three veteran team members heard that they were going to take on the task, their expressions became a little serious, and only Zhang Yang was a little unclear.
Hao Qiang sighed, "Everyone also knows the situation of our team, and now a good task is not our team's turn to pick it up, I studied it all night last night, and I plan to accept the commission issued by the federal army." ”
"Boss, I heard that there is no oil and water, and no one has picked it up for more than half a month. Hong Yan wondered.
Although Lu Fei and Jiang Lei next to him didn't speak, their eyes looked at Captain Hao with some doubts.
Hao Qiang nodded, "It's true, but I've researched it, and some high-paying tasks have a higher risk factor.
Our team has just recruited new people and still needs to run in, although the pay for this task is not high, but fortunately, it is not too dangerous, and it is more suitable for our current situation. ”
Hearing the captain say this, the three of them thought for a while and nodded. Only the rookie hunter Zhang Yang, who has just entered the industry, looked confused and a little unclear.
The five people in room 201 determined the task, and Captain Hao went to the junior hall on the second floor to go through the application procedures, and after a while, he came back with the task briefing, and everyone sat on the sofa and listened carefully to the details of the mission.
This mission was issued by the Acropolis Federal Army, requiring the team to go to Huishan Town, more than 200 kilometers away, to place three 'sensor devices' to detect the number of monsters.
This device can scan the life signals of all monsters within a radius of two kilometers and display their location, which is a newly developed military technology in recent years.
Originally, tasks like this were completed by the Federation Army's own soul masters, but I heard that there were frequent changes in the frontier, and the Federation Headquarters dispatched many local troops from all over the country to the front line to deploy defenses.
And the deployment of ordinary soldiers in the frontier is not of great use, so the military soul divisions from all over the country are transferred.
At this time, the Acropolis Federation Army was short of military soul divisions, so they came to the commission under the Hunters' Guild.
This task list looks like nothing, but the old hunters who know a little bit will not take it, if it is just a simple low pay, then it is okay, this task will take ten days and half a month to travel back and forth.
Moreover, Huishan Town was entrenched by demon beasts more than ten years ago, and now no one knows what the situation is, and the unknown risk coefficient is the reason why many teams do not accept it.
The wolf tooth team is willing to go next this time, mainly because they want to use the time on the way back and forth to train more newcomers, and they also want Zhang Yang to run in with the team as soon as possible and have a tacit understanding.
And just now Hao Qiang asked the staff to contact the federal army directly before taking the mission, and they agreed that if they found that Huishan Town was inaccessible or too dangerous, they could put the sensor device on the periphery and retreat, entrusting the gold to pay, and if it was successfully completed, the bounty would be doubled.
"If the mission is not completed, you are still willing to pay the commission? What are the Federal Forces doing? Hong Yan leaned back on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Sister Yanzi, you don't know about this. Lu Fei raised his eyebrows at everyone, and continued, "Now the federal army has recruited a lot of new troops in the past two years due to tight border defense, and now the materials are a little unable to keep up.
The federation requires all localities to find ways to produce more food, clothing, medicines and other materials, first, to alleviate the shortage of front-line conditions, and second, to plan to hoard materials to prevent problems before they occur. ”
"You kid knows a lot, but what's the matter with this Guanhuishan Town?" Hong Yan took a sip of coffee and wondered.
"Hehe, Sister Yanzi, you may not know that you are a local, Huishan Town is really nothing, but Huishan Town is close to Huishan Lake, where it was rich in aquatic resources more than ten years ago!
My family lived in Huishan Town more than ten years ago, and then there was a big flood and I was relocated to the Seventh Acropolis. Lu Fei said.
"Then why didn't you directly send the federal army to drive away the demon beasts in the town before?" Zhang Yang was also a little puzzled when he heard him say this.
Lu Fei sat up straight and planned to explain to this little brother: "Huishan Town was indeed rich in aquatic products in the past, but you must know that the real supply of aquatic products to the whole federation is all in the eastern and southern coastal cities of the federation, and the output of Huishan Town is insignificant compared to it.
At that time, Huishan Town had a population of only 200,000, and it could make a lot of money every year by relying on Huishan Lake to cultivate aquatic products, which was mainly due to geographical reasons.
The freight of aquatic products from the eastern part of the federation to the inland has increased a lot, and the price is naturally not as cheap as that of Huishan Lake.
However, there was no shortage of food in the federation at that time, so the federation did not pay much attention to Huishan Town, and did not expand the aquaculture of Huishan Lake to a large scale.
In addition, the town was flooded and the city walls were badly damaged, so even if the demon beasts were driven away, it would take a lot of money to repair the town.
So back then, those homeless people were all resettled in batches by several nearby acropolises, which is equivalent to an increase in labor force for nothing, who would be willing to send the federal army to clean up Huishan Town and do this thankless thing!"
"There were also troubles among the people who were placed back then, but in the end the leader of the troubles was arrested, everyone was assigned a job without worrying about food and drink, and the leaders of the town also arranged good positions, and slowly no one mentioned this matter anymore. Lu Fei sighed a little.
Zhang Yang understood, the value of Huishan Town was not highlighted, so there was no reconstruction after the disaster, and now there is a shortage of materials, and the Federation wants to recapture Huishan Town to develop aquaculture.
However, due to the fact that the Federal Army is now in dire need of manpower, the early detection work fell to the Hunters' Association and was taken over by their team.
First, they will place the sensing device, and in the future, the military soul master will return and clear the demon beasts in the town in one fell swoop and recover the town.
The five members of the team discussed some details and planned to leave tomorrow.
The Wolf Tooth Squad is almost at the bottom of the E-tier squad, and it doesn't receive any good commissions, plus one of the team members was poached before, and it almost faces disbandment.
Today, the captain Hao Qiang was a little happy, and looked at the time It was almost noon, so he beckoned everyone to go to the Tongfu Building next to him to rub it!
Hong Yan and Lu Fei shouted Long live the captain, even Jiang Lei, who had a very cold personality, laughed, and Zhang Yang also followed suit.
The captain had called them last night to tell them about the newcomer.
Knowing that Zhang Yang was not old but his cultivation was very high, he thought he was a proud teenager, and after a morning of contact, they found that Zhang Yang was quite gregarious, and he was not difficult to get along with, and they were very satisfied with this new teammate.
The five of them walked out of room 201 jokingly, and just walked to the elevator entrance and met a few people, led by a strong man with ligated muscles, "Yo, look who it is, isn't this our wolf's Captain Hao!"
"Captain Lei, I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you today, please get out of the way. Seeing the person who came, Hao Qiang's face instantly fell, and Zhang Yang was a little confused, so he found that several people did not look very good.
"Tsk, Captain Hao is really big, I heard that your team will be disbanded in a few days, what, this is going to have a casual meal?" Haha" The strong man said in a strange manner, and the few people who followed behind him also made mocking sounds.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Captain Lei, we've already recruited someone. Hong Yan, who was behind Hao Qiang, couldn't stand the other party's ridicule, and said angrily.
The big man surnamed Lei saw Zhang Yang standing behind Hao Qiang, and his face was full of disdain, "You wolf teeth are really getting more and more mixed, have you started recruiting boy scouts?
The team members behind Dahan laughed along.
"You!" Hao Qiang's face was flushed, and he wanted to step forward but was stopped by Jiang Lei on the side, although Jiang Lei was expressionless, his eyes were very cold. Hong Yan and Lu Fei were also so angry that their faces turned pale and clenched their fists tightly.
Private fighting is prohibited in the trade union, and if Hao Qiang makes the first move, he will definitely be severely punished.
"Hmph, Hao Qiang, don't die outside, otherwise I will lose a lot of fun. Seeing that these people didn't move, they were a little bored, so Captain Lei beckoned and led his subordinates to turn around and leave.
"Damn, I'm really angry with my mother! He Lei Yang is really getting more and more excessive now!" When she arrived at the private room in Tongfu Building, Hong Yan couldn't help but scold.
"The villain is ambitious, he was also a wolf-toothed person back then, I didn't expect this kid to turn his face so much and not recognize people!" Lu Fei was also full of gloom.
"Zhang Yang, don't take it too seriously, sooner or later I will help you out of this breath!" Hao Qiang was so angry that his face turned red, and he opened his mouth to comfort Zhang Yang, who had been ridiculed just now.
Zhang Yang looked calm and smiled: "I'm okay captain, what grievances do we have with him?"
Hao Qiang, reached out to the glass of water and poured it down, "Lei Yang was our wolf tooth squad five years ago, when I was twenty-five years old and had just broken through the second order, his brother Lei Bing was also a second-order cultivator, and his brother died unexpectedly during a mission.
Since then, Lei Yang has put his brother's death on the head of our team, and since then he has been our enemy at every turn. ”
"This scar on my face was left by that accident. Lu Fei on the side pointed to his face and said.
"Captain, everyone knows about that incident and doesn't blame you, at that time, the intelligence was wrong, and I encountered a third-order demon beast, Lei Bing asked you to take his unconscious brother first, which is understandable!" Lu Fei continued.
Hao Qiang waved his hand, a little reluctant to mention it again, "Okay, let's not talk about old things, this time the main thing is to welcome Zhang Yang to join our team!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, although some unpleasant things happened, a few people ate very happily, the dishes of Tongfulou are really delicious, Zhang Yang had heard of this place before, but the price was too expensive and he didn't dare to eat.
In addition to Jiang Lei and Zhang Yang, the other three drank a lot of wine, and one of them drank two or three bottles of liquor, but Zhang Yang was shocked, it was the first time he saw someone drink like this!
Captain Hao said that it is difficult for hunters to live and die outside, and if there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, don't wait for no wine and empty tears......
After the meal, Jiang Lei took the drunk Hao Qiang and Lu Fei into the car to send the two drunk people home one by one.
Just now, the two of them drank too much, and they had to climb higher than anyone holding the telephone pole on the side of the road.
Lu Fei's eyes were confused, and without saying a word, he climbed up holding the telephone pole, but fortunately Jiang Lei grabbed his leg and dragged him down.
Jiang Lei's cold expression couldn't hold back, and he almost didn't scold!
What a shame it is in broad daylight!
Two people who are usually very serious, how can they be like this bear after drinking too much!
"Haha, Lao Tzu is amazing! Lu Fei, you kid can't do it, you can't compare to this captain!" Hao Qiang stretched his tongue, and his voice came from the sky.
Jiang Lei patronized the landing and flew, ignoring the captain Hao Qiang, and when he looked up again, Hao Qiang climbed to the top holding the telephone pole!
Jiang Lei's face trembled, and his lips opened slightly: "Gan!"
It's afternoon, although there are not many pedestrians, but the traffic on the road is turbulent, Jiang Lei saw someone parking the car on the side of the road and holding a mobile phone to take pictures of several people, and hurriedly covered his face.
In the end, after going to the toilet, Zhang Yang, who came out of the hotel, climbed onto the telephone pole and dragged down the captain who was about to fall asleep holding the pole.
Waving his hand at the departing taxi, Zhang Yang planned to take a taxi home.
But he always felt as if he had forgotten something, and thought about it with a frown.
"Uh..."
Zhang Yang turned around when he heard the sound and found Hong Yan sleeping on the edge of the flower bed, patting his brain, it turned out that he had forgotten about someone!
"Sister Yanzi, wake up, where is your home?!"
