168 Night Movement? (2)
Marvin smiled as he mixed the wine and explained,
“Hey, I just want to have someone to take care of me on the way ~”
“I don’t want to die out there.”
“Then can’t you just not go out?”
Zhou Wenjie shrugged.
“That won’t do. We have to get out.”
Marvin shook his head.
Then, he leaned in front of w.a.n.g Zhen and whispered,
“If my beast can find something good, I’ll give you 20% after this. How about that?”
Hearing Marvin’s words, w.a.n.g Zhen shook his head.
Then, he stretched out his hand and bent his thumb slightly.
“40%. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk.”
Hearing w.a.n.g Zhen’s bid, the corner of Marvin’s mouth twitched, but he still reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, 40%.”
Seeing Marvin agree so readily, w.a.n.g Zhen suddenly felt that he might not have asked enough.
Perhaps Marvin would agree if he directly asked for 50%.
“Come here, let me introduce you.”
After w.a.n.g Zhen agreed, Marvin waved at the handsome middle-aged man in the corner.
When the middle-aged handsome man heard this, he carried the wine bottle and walked to the bar counter.
Mark patted the middle-aged handsome man’s shoulder and introduced him to w.a.n.g Zhen and the others.
“This is my brother, Mark. You met him the other day.”
“His ability is a little special. When the time comes, dangerous work can be left to him. Get him to charge forward.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Zhen, Zhou Wenjie, and Iron Axe looked at Marvin in surprise.
“Are you sure you’re biological brothers?”
“Of course, as biological as it gets!”
Mark raised his gla.s.s drunkenly at the three of them.
Then, the five of them chatted at the bar.
It was not until the sky turned dark that they walked towards the east city gate.
At this moment, there were already several army trucks parked at the entrance.
The officers of the two legions were guarding there.
There was no information registration. As long as one’s ability level was qualified, they would directly get one into the car.
When it was w.a.n.g Zhen and the others’ turn to bring people over, there were already two trucks full.
As a result, when they set off at seven in the evening, the five trucks were already filled to the brim.
“F*ck!”
“The army is too bad at doing things! They’re just using trucks to pull us?”
If a truck was slightly packed tighter, it could hold 30 people.
Thus, in addition to the ten members of the Tomahawk Mercenary Group, Marvin, and Mark, there were also many unfamiliar mercenaries in w.a.n.g Zhen’s car.
The person complaining was a level five mutant.
The mercenaries with some status probably felt that the army was more or less looking down on them.
“Alright, stop. It’s already not bad to have a mission.”
“Why do you care?”
“That’s right. Fourth Brother Bai, you can’t keep your mouth shut.”
w.a.n.g Zhen and the others did not speak much. Along the way, they quietly listened to these people chat.
Although Jiangzhou was not big, there were many mercenary groups.
There were familiar people, but unfortunately, w.a.n.g Zhen and the others really did not know these mercenaries in this car.
Moreover, the remaining 18 people seemed to have been divided into two groups.
The others were even more silent than w.a.n.g Zhen and the others.
They really did not say a word along the way.
After about half an hour, when the truck slowly stopped, w.a.n.g Zhen and the others jumped out of the truck.
“Gather here!”
Hearing the officer’s instructions, w.a.n.g Zhen and the others walked towards an empty s.p.a.ce with flags.
After more than a hundred mercenaries came, everyone chatted with the surrounding people.
Just as w.a.n.g Zhen was dealing with some small talk, he saw a burly man walk out of the army’s temporary camp.
Hong Zhijun looked at the messy and noisy mercenaries in front of him and frowned slightly.
To be honest, if not for the fact that the mission was indeed a little tricky and he could not ask for help from the army headquarters, he really did not want to recruit these mercenaries.
Their discipline was too poor.
It could not even compare to the Ironback Pigs.
He had seen the effect of the Ironback Pig’s charge during the day.
Its might was not inferior to those small-scale beast tides at all.
Moreover, the Ironback Pig had a formation.
As for the mercenaries in front of him… It seemed that he could only let them act freely as Wu Yan had said.
After sorting out his thoughts, Hong Zhijun cleared his throat and directly said,
“Your mission is very simple. Clean up the mutated beasts from the intersection two kilometers ahead to the fork on the right.”
“We won’t command you. We’ll only look at the outcome and clean up the mutated beasts.
“Of course, the range of activity can’t exceed too much. Everything is based on the mission area.”
Hong Zhijun naturally knew that these mercenaries would not work obediently, but as long as it was not too much, he would not care.
“Now, if you’re willing, you can go and take a look directly. You can also rest here and go over tomorrow.
“I’ll send the exact scope of the mission to the representative among you in a while.
“That’s about it.”
With that said, Hong Zhijun directly returned to the historical camp.
Only these mercenaries were left looking at each other.
“d.a.m.n, isn’t… isn’t this a little too casual?”
Looking at Hong Zhijun’s back, Iron Axe was shocked.
w.a.n.g Zhen and Zhou Wenjie were also dumbfounded.
Was this even a mission?!
“Could he really be using us as cannon fodder? Otherwise, why would he be so vague?”
Zhou Wenjie habitually touched the scar on his forehead.
w.a.n.g Zhen thought for a moment before shaking his head helplessly.
“I’m not sure. Let’s take it one step at a time ~”
“At least there’s good news. The army has never thought of restricting our movements.
Hearing this, Marvin, who wanted to “treasure hunt”, happily patted his fat belly.
“Indeed, everyone will rely on their own abilities to obtain what they can.”
Iron Axe looked at w.a.n.g Zhen and suggested,
“Then should we go take a look now?”
“Alright, but let’s take a look at the specific mission scope first.”
At the same time, in the temporary camp, Wu Yan was discussing with Hong Zhijun about the cleanup of the mercenaries and mutated beasts outside.
“How many mercenaries came?”
“156 people.”
“That should be enough. Unless the forest and the building are all full of mutated beasts, they should be able to clean up in two to three days.”
Hong Zhijun did not speak.
He more or less looked down on these gra.s.s-roots mercenaries.
With such discipline, how could they be expected to resist the beast tide?
No matter how Hong Zhijun thought about it, he felt that it was very unlikely.
When he saw these people, he vaguely regretted it.
The level was indeed not low, but its strength…
“Let’s take the lead in this matter. We’ll bring some people over tomorrow during the day. At the very least, we have to watch over them.”
“Otherwise, if we cause any trouble and delay, it will be troublesome.”
Looking at the impatience on Hong Zhijun’s face, Wu Yan smiled silently.
“That’s fine. We indeed have to restrain ourselves a little.”
Outside the camp formed by trucks, w.a.n.g Zhen returned to their team with a simple map in his hand.
After pa.s.sing the map around, he said,
“I think someone has already set off in that direction.”
“They’re so fast? Do they really want to die?”
Marvin, who didn’t often go out, knew that night was very dangerous.
Some mutated beasts that did not like to come out during the day were quite active at night.
Zhou Wenjie was not surprised.
“This is nothing. For money, that bit of danger doesn’t exist.”
“After all, being a step earlier means finding something good early.
“Big Brother, I think I can also go over and take a look. Even if I don’t go deep, I can still investigate the exact terrain.”
Looking at Zhou Wenjie and thinking of his speed ability and the magical gray fog beast, w.a.n.g Zhen nodded.
“Sure, but remember not to be rash.”
Zhou Wenjie stroked the very small ball of gray fog beside his hand and nodded with a smile.
“Don’t worry. With it around, there won’t be any accidents!”
Iron Axe opened his mouth, but he did not say anything.
Actually, he also wanted to take a look.
However, when he thought about how his beast was a mental-type and a b.u.t.terfly at that, coupled with the fact that he was not a speed-type mutant….
If he really encountered more mutated beasts, he might not even be able to escape.
That night, there were others like Zhou Wenjie. There were no less than twenty mercenaries who went to scout.
