The existence of the scout robot sparked a series of bold ideas.
Su Mo became intrigued by their ideas as he listened to the discussion and did not stop the three of them from taking freely.
At the current stage, it was impossible to transform the scout robot into a war machine to invade foreign territories as they had suggested.
After all, the material used to build the scout robot was extremely rare. Ma Fei had been h.o.a.rding it in the wasteland for so many years, yet he himself had not been able to collect much.
Despite that, what about in the future?
As long as the material science in the territory was further advanced and they returned scientific processing to the level of civilization, it would not be impossible to replicate the scout robot’s program logic and create a slightly inferior robot.
They could utilize everyone’s ideas and transform the scout robot when the time came. It might even be possible to realize the respected long-distance information warfare in modern warfare!
Gradually, Su Mo was intrigued and could not help but join the discussion. Suddenly, the door swung open, and two vigilant soldiers appeared.
One of them was an ordinary soldier that chose to stay outside. He stood at the door to guard and inspect the other people that pa.s.sed by the hotel corridor.
The other person was the vice-captain of the team, named Du s.h.i.+.
He walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and looked toward Su Mo.
“Shelter leader, we’ve discovered the ident.i.ty of those following us.”
“Oh?” Su Mo’s face became cautious, and the other three stopped talking, turning their focus toward the soldier.
“Didn’t we see a lot of wanted bounty on the bulletin board at the village? The wanted bounties were ranked Level S, Level A, Level B, and so on, that were rewarded accordingly.
“This group of people happens to be doing this kind of work!
“Every time a new wanted bounty is issued, they will try to find the wanted person as soon as possible to get the reward from the requester to maintain their livelihood and increase their strength.
“In Origin Territory, these people are called bounty hunters!”
“Bounty hunters? Does such a job really exist?” Feng Long frowned, quite puzzled by the information.
Du s.h.i.+ hurriedly explained, “Captain, bounty hunters are naturally useless in our territory, but Origin Territory is quite chaotic. One is because they have highly complex traffic and it is inevitable that conflicts and disputes happen between everyone. Secondly, ordinary people are also allowed to put out bounties below Level B.
“This has led to a significant number of bounty hunters in Origin Territory. However, most of them are just in it for the t.i.tle or the sake of prestige. Very few are really capable. Probably only about four to five groups.
“According to the intel we’ve collected, the people following us are ranked in the top three. They call themselves…the Night a.s.sasins.”
After a brief overall report of the information collected, Du s.h.i.+ emphasized some more detailed information that took a lot of effort to gather.
“They don’t have that many core members, probably around thirty people or even less.
“However, they have about two to three hundred links or connections outside. They have many eyes and ears working for them. It is possible that the servants in this hotel are under them.
“Their leader’s name is Hou Tielong, and he goes by the nickname Dragon.
“Apparently, he is a very ruthless character. I heard he has a rifle that can shoot an enemy from a few hundred meters away. His marksmans.h.i.+p is rumored to be incredibly terrifying!”
Du s.h.i.+’s ability to collect so much information in just over thirty minutes before Origin Territory’s curfew was amazing.
However, only this information did not meet Su Mo’s requirement of fully understanding their enemies.
“Bounty hunters?
“We’re not wanted, so why are we being targeted?”
Du s.h.i.+ shook his head and made an uncertain guess after Su Mo raised an important question.
“Maybe it’s because we inquired about Marshal w.a.n.g before entering the village. I heard from some people that they let Marshal w.a.n.g before and probably…
“By the way, I heard they captured many people to find Marshal w.a.n.g a few days ago. I’m afraid they’re planning to do the same to us!”
Du s.h.i.+’s previous answer could be considered a critical examination of facts.
However, the latter was only his conjecture which could not provide crucial information. On the contrary, it would easily mislead others.
The trio inside the room exchanged glances as soon as they heard they were targeted by a group of people as soon as they entered the territory.
Next, their eyes turned to the scout robots in the corner. Immediately, Feng Long stood up excitedly.
“We’ve got a job to do? Why don’t we try it tonight?”
There were three scout robots available.
Corresponding to the people present, it happened to be three people.
Reeling the intention of Feng Long’s words, Feng Tianmin and Guan Yuan glanced at Su Mo. Only Du s.h.i.+, who stood aside, was confused by their reaction.
“Alright. We shouldn’t rush it yet. The curfew had just begun, so we’llhave to wait and inspect the situation first.”
Su Mo nodded lightly and calmed the excited trio.
“We can use this group of people as practice targets and familiarize ourselves with the new operation mode if there isn’t any commotion going on outside tonight.
“We’ll have to use this group to show the others that our group that got through the mountains aren’t easy to mess with!”
Su Mo laughed as he pointed in the direction of the basin.
It was unnecessary to take great measures to deal with such a small problem.
He would likely need to carefully form a plan and gather information to achieve a desirable result if it was against the new territory lord or the mysterious people from the ruins.
However, Feng Long, Feng Tianmin, and Guan Yuan were capable talents enough to deal with the group of ill-intentioned people. Not to mention even the soldiers in the team were strong enough to deal with them.
Additionally, considering that Su Mo wanted to recruit many people from Origin Territory in the future, a head-on conflict was only a matter of time!
