Chapter 8

Two ammunition managers at the shooting range were talking quietly behind the counter: "Hey, who do you think that thing is for?"

"I don't know. Maybe only mutants can use this perverted guy!"

"God knows, I've never seen such a pistol. I really don't know which madman made it."

The two were chatting quietly when they suddenly saw Li Gaolei coming in. They were so frightened that they immediately stood up straight and saluted with a military salute.

Li Gaolei nodded to them and walked towards the shooting range inside. As soon as he walked off the shooting range, there was another deafening gunshot. In terms of volume, it was twice as loud as his beloved modified Desert Eagle.

Bang bang bang! There were three consecutive gunshots, and there was even a wave of heat rolling over his face. Then there was Li's angry curse: "What the hell!"

Li Gaolei walked behind Li and followed her gaze forward. The target wall fifty meters away was covered with huge bullet holes. The distribution of these bullet holes is completely irregular. The only thing they have in common is that most of them are far away from the target paper. There were only two bullet holes in the bust target, but almost the entire target paper was blown away.

What Li was holding was Su's modified pistol, and there were two boxes of bullets placed on the shooting stand in front of her. She had fired two rounds of twelve bullets, but only hit two at a distance of fifty meters. In particular, the results of the three consecutive shots were disastrous, with none of them hitting the target.

At a distance of fifty meters, no matter what kind of military standard pistol, Li only needs to test fire a few shots, and the subsequent rapid fire results will be perfect.

The two boxes of bullets looked like ordinary 5.56mm standard rifle bullets, but there were some different reflections on the bullets, which attracted Li Gaolei's attention. He picked up a bullet and looked at it carefully, and found that the bullet was engraved with fine and complicated notches, just like the decorative patterns often found on precious metal objects in the old days. But these carvings are clearly more than just decoration. Li Gaolei picked up another bullet and compared it, he found that the marks on the two bullets were exactly the same. There was no difference at all, as if they were carved with an ultra-precision CNC machine tool.

Li Gaolei suddenly remembered something, his expression changed slightly, and he calmly put the bullet back.

Li had already loaded a new plate of bullets and was staring at the target paper like a wolf. She didn't move for a long time, but suddenly threw the pistol to Li Gaolei and said, "Hey, come and try this ghost gun!"

However, the pistol missed and fell to the ground. The hammer fell due to the shock, and a ball of flame suddenly erupted from the muzzle. The bullet roared out, hitting the bullseye, and completely tore the incomplete chest target into pieces. The pistol slid backwards under the huge recoil and hit the wall before stopping.

Li suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Gaolei. Seeing that Li Gaolei's face was a little pale, a drop of sweat slipped down his face, struggled through the layers of stubble, and slid into his collar.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now." Li Gaolei's explanation was as pale as his smile.

Under Li's gaze, Li Gaolei smiled awkwardly and asked, "Did you bring this gun on your mission this time?"

Judging from the expression on Li's gritted teeth, it was obvious that his question hit her hard. During this battle, Li used this gun to empty a round of six bullets. The momentum even outshone the two anti-aircraft machine guns in the army, but none of them hit the target. The gun's huge power and extremely poor hit rate became a hot topic. If it had been anyone else, this matter would have become a laughing stock for a long time. But this is Li's direct army, and all the soldiers are very aware of Li's terrifying abilities, so the problem must be with that gun. So the conversation among the soldiers in the aftermath of the battle turned to the origin of this gun.

Little did she know that this topic made her even more angry than discussing Li's poor marksmanship. However, Li could not suddenly break out.

So as soon as she returned to Pendulum City, Li immediately went to the underground shooting range to test the gun.

Li Gaolei thought of the terrifying scene frozen on the doctor's computer screen, and looked at the two boxes of special 5.56mm bullets that were obviously from the same source as the pistol. He suddenly laughed, walked to the wall and picked up the modified pistol. Go to the target stand, raise your hand and shoot five shots in a row!

The huge gunfire echoed in the shooting range and even shook a lot of dust from the ceiling. Li Gaolei's results were much better than Li's, with two of his five shots hitting the target, and the other three shots not missing too far. However, such achievements were enough to make Li Gaolei frown. For someone like him who has reached the fourth level of simple weapon mastery, after getting familiar with ballistics, the shooting accuracy error of a fifty-meter pistol will not exceed three millimeters. This means that almost every shot can be fired into the bullet hole of the previous shot. But this pistol was really different. The vibration direction and ballistic error caused by each shot were different. Even with Li Gaolei's ability to instantly correct the ballistics, there was no way to correct every shot in time. Being able to hit two shots is pretty good.

After emptying the drum, Li Gaolei took out the cartridge case and carefully inspected the structure of the gun. The sample he gave to Dr. Rothstein was taken from this gun. If it had been infected by the intruder, he might have turned into an unknown monster. Moreover, this gun has been with Li for some time. Judging from the life cycle of the invader cells, even if there are still intruders on the gun, they should have died long ago. Moreover, he had already touched the gun at the beginning and had just touched the bullet. If there were still intruders alive, he would not be able to hide. So Li Gaolei admitted it.

This pistol is actually quite rough in workmanship. In order to adapt to the rifle bullets, almost all the modified parts are made by hand, and the accuracy is not very high. At first glance, it is not the work of a master, but more like a settlement. A black gun made by handmade weapon workers who make a living in Dian. The gun's front sight was even crooked, and the gun's original owner had not calibrated it. Obviously, he had no use for the front sight. It can be said that apart from being powerful enough, this pistol has almost no merit. And most of the power comes from the notches on the bullet's warhead.

Li Gaolei pulled out a display screen from the side of the target platform, clicked on it a few times, and called up the high-speed video of the shooting just now. It can be seen from the picture that when the bullet flew about fifty meters, the warhead had completely split and turned into dozens of high-speed flying metal particles. Although the penetrating power of such bullets is much inferior, the lethality to living organisms is increased dozens of times. But precisely because of this, the bullet's trajectory began to become unstable ten meters away.

"Look," Li Gaolei said to Li, "I think your beautiful boy will only use this pistol within twenty meters."

Li took the pistol and inserted it into her lower back. The moment the pistol left her hand, Li keenly felt Li Gaolei suddenly let out a sigh of relief. She stared at him strangely, making him flustered.

Li put away the bullet again and walked out of the shooting range. When she passed by Li Gao, she patted Li Gaolei's chest and said, "Thank you! I'm going to take a bath first, and then we'll have dinner together at noon. I'll treat you!"

Looking at Li's background, Li Gaolei couldn't help but say, "Hey, you've been out for a few days, so you'd better go to the doctor for a blood test to avoid..."

Li stopped and turned back, looking at Li Gaolei strangely. :.16

Li Gaolei touched the wire-like beard on his lips and said as if he didn't care: "I heard that there are several new mutant creatures around recently. You'd better check it out after you've been out for so long. Just for peace of mind. Bar!"

Li frowned and said impatiently: "You are getting more and more verbose! Okay, I'll go find the doctor for a blood test in a minute. I'll pay for the lunch, but you pay for the drinks!"

After saying that, Li walked outside without looking back.

With a soft clang, a coin bounced high from Li's left hand, spinning rapidly and making a pleasant trembling sound. It almost touched the ceiling before it began to fall and disappeared into Li's left hand.

Li had been out of the shooting range for a long time, but Li Gaolei still felt the coin spinning in front of his eyes. Those flickering lights looked extremely dazzling.

It was just after noon and it was still very hot in the wilderness, even with the sun always hidden behind the clouds.

In the relatively flat wilderness, two dilapidated trucks kept roaring and struggled to crawl forward. Their speed is not much faster than walking. The truck compartment was full of people, and there were even two people sitting on the roof of the cab. They were holding AK rifles that had been popular for more than a hundred years, and they were scanning the seemingly endless wilderness with vigilance. Behind the truck were more than thirty people. These people were either fat or thin, wearing all kinds of clothes. They also had various weapons in their hands, including gunpowder that could only be used to kill birds. With dull eyes, they walked mechanically forward in the scorching heat.

The two trucks were at opposite ends of the team, with the one in front opening the way and the one behind holding down the formation to prevent those in the middle from escaping.

Su held the eye-catching modified rifle in his arms and leaned against the car's fender, shaking as the vehicle moved forward. He sat in the back of the truck, occupying a fairly good seat. There were several other people in this car who were occupying the side seats alone like him, and they were all vicious guys. As for the other people in the car, they had to squeeze together. Those fierce-looking guys are all warriors with first-level abilities. It can be said that no one in this improvised team wants to provoke them. The reason why Su, who was relatively thin, was able to receive the same treatment was because of the modified rifle in his hand. These veterans who have survived many battles know that in fierce battles, snipers can often save their lives. They were not willing to let the sniper's energy be wasted on the road.

So Su was able to sit in the truck and close his eyes to rest without any trouble.

Su's body had completely relaxed, but his mind did not stop. He was thinking about his body over and over again. The battle with Li almost allowed him to obtain two complete evolutionary points, and even the fierce melee fight at the end that lasted for a full hour also provided him with some evolutionary energy. After a battle that almost exhausted her last bit of strength, watching the strong Li collapse again and again under his impact, the feeling of conquest mixed with the physical pleasure gave Su an unparalleled impact.

Could it be said that excessively stimulating sex can also cause evolution?

Su was thinking about this issue seriously. When dealing with all issues of evolution, Su was as precise and serious as a machine, and would never have any emotional fluctuations. He now has six evolution points, and as long as he gets two more, he can start evolving infrared vision. Only by possessing infrared vision can one become the true king of the night.

But before you can get evolution points, you have to have money. Su was already penniless, and the coin he paid Li was the last bit of money he had. Of course, things like ammunition or ceramic armor pieces are not included. Seriously speaking, these things are treasures that only poor mercenaries like Su would value. People like Ru Li who are at the top of large companies simply look down on them.

Su found a large settlement that he had visited before, and took on the task of wiping out the mob. The mobs are everywhere in the wasteland, and they seem to be getting bigger and bigger, and they can never be cleared away. The remuneration for this mission is very meager. A capable warrior like Su who brings his own professional equipment receives the first level of remuneration, which is only a measly 100 yuan. Those armed refugees who walked between the two trucks and had nothing but weapons and relatively strong bodies would be the front line of the charge on the battlefield, and their reward was only twenty yuan. However, there are still several times more people than needed to sign up, and most people only have wooden sticks and steel bars as weapons. The leader of the settlement only selected thirty armed refugees, and his budget was very limited.

The meaning of money is different for everyone. For these refugees, twenty yuan means they don’t have to worry about food for a month. As for housing, they can sleep anywhere in the wilderness. There are plenty of places to shelter from wind and rain in the settlements. To Su, one hundred yuan was just the price of twenty rounds of modified bullets. Even if he was not on a mission, Su would consume dozens of bullets a day when he was wandering alone in the wilderness.

Su was now extremely poor and could not return to Asmo to accept the mission, so he accepted this mission with a ridiculously low pay.

Almost from the moment he could remember, Su knew that his body was different from others. In turbulent times, everything was mutating, and even the genes of couples living together would be very different after more than ten years, but Su knew that his body was different from these mutants.

This body is flexible and agile, and he can command almost every part of it freely. Even the dose of radiation that would be fatal to mutants could be completely tolerated by Su. After surviving in various extremely harsh environments for a long time, the body will respond accordingly and become more tolerant. During the days when he was wandering alone, as Su's knowledge of ability fields increased, he judged that although his body had not undergone any strengthening of abilities in the fighting field, it was at least capable of first-level strength in various abilities.

Su slowly adjusted his body's condition. His breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature began to slowly decrease. He wanted to save every ounce of energy. Since arriving at the settlement, he has not replenished his food and has long since run out of water. Only after fighting this battle can we have money to replenish food and water. It was true that Su had robbed mobs in the wasteland, but the objects of plunder did not include settlements that would become employers. Perhaps in this era, survival is the only principle. But when she had some spare time, Su was still willing to stick to some of her principles, such as paying money after having sex with a woman. In this chaotic, power-first era, women appear particularly vulnerable. Su's money might allow them to survive a little longer.

Except, of course, Rei.

The convoy traveled for a full three hours, and the terrain began to become rugged. Not far away was a collapsed highway, and abandoned country villas could be seen from time to time. After marching for so long, there was no sign of the mob at all. Even the soldiers on the truck became listless, and the armed refugees who walked on their own two feet were even closer to exhaustion.

Su suddenly opened his eyes!

His heart beat vigorously, and his body temperature rose rapidly. In just a few seconds, Su completely woke up from a state that was close to hibernation and entered the state before the battle. Several veterans in the same car were also veterans who had struggled repeatedly on the line of life and death. When they saw Su's changes, they immediately became alert and looked to both sides.

Ta-ta-ta! A dull and impactful gunshot suddenly sounded. Several holes the size of fists appeared on the body of the leading truck immediately. A large amount of dark red liquid was splashed on the glass of the cab. It dripped down and the smell of blood filled the nostrils. The armed refugees in the center of the convoy also fell down in rows.

The commander of the team jumped out of the cab of the truck behind him, fell on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Damn it! Heavy machine gun! Get down, you bastards, get down! Sniper, kill that bitch!" Raised guy!"

Before the end of his shouting completely disappeared, a violent gunshot echoed above the convoy. In the deserted villa a hundred meters away, the heavy machine gun spitting out tongues of fire stopped in response.

The effect was better than the commander's most optimistic imagination. He slammed the ground hard and yelled: "Well done!"

Gunshots rang out constantly from the houses on both sides of the road. At least a dozen guns were firing wildly at the convoy, and the mob's crazy shouts were louder than the dense gunfire. Bullets fell like rain, so heavy that the armed forces in the settlement could not even lift their heads. Except for a few veterans who deftly found bunkers between the car door and the car body and started to fight back vigorously, the rest of them just kept firing with their eyes closed, pulling the trigger while praying that the bullet would hit an enemy by chance. As for where the enemy is, only the devil knows.

Su was lying on the ground, his earthy yellow cloak was very close to the color of the ground. But in a battlefield where bullets are flying, this does not guarantee safety. Luck is the real guarantee.

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the rifle again, and the assault rifle that roared the most ferociously in the house immediately went silent. The sound of Sun's rifle was so shocking that every shot suppressed the sounds of other shots. And as soon as the gunfire rings out, one enemy must lose his life. Moreover, the frequency of these gunshots ringing out one after another is completely different from the rate of fire that a sniper rifle should have. It seems that the sniper does not need to aim at all. The morale of the armed personnel in the settlement was greatly boosted. Several veterans even jumped up from the ground, seizing the opportunity of holes in the opponent's fire network, and surrounded the houses where the mob was hiding from both sides, preparing to kill them all.

One enemy after another entered Su's sight, and then left one after another, their expressions were different. But Su Bise's eyes were stable and calm, witnessing the disappearance of each life.

Ta-ta! The dull and panic-inducing sound of heavy machine gunfire rang out again, and the two old birds rushing in front immediately froze midway, with several fountains of blood spurting out from their chests and backs. The other people were once again pressed firmly to the ground by the dense bullets, unable to raise their heads at all.

Almost as soon as he heard the sound of the heavy machine gun, Su moved the muzzle of the gun and put the shooter behind the window into the crosshairs. However, his finger on the trigger did not press down immediately.

The person manning the heavy machine gun was a little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. She had a pretty face that was rare among the mob, and her big eyes still had unwiped tears. She bit her lower lip tightly, and strands of blood gurgled down from between her teeth. The fire from the muzzle of the heavy machine gun illuminated her little face full of hatred. From this little girl's face, Su seemed to vaguely see another face, a little girl he almost thought he had forgotten.

In the few seconds Su hesitated, another scream rang out on the battlefield. A soldier lying on the ground was swept by a string of heavy machine gun bullets, and several fountains of blood immediately spurted out.

Su's pupils shrank into a cross star again, the muzzle of the gun swung slightly, and he pulled the trigger. The modified bullets carry huge kinetic energy and fly directly into the flaming muzzle of the heavy machine gun!

The roar of the heavy machine gun suddenly stopped. Then it exploded with a bang, and hot parts flew everywhere!

The little girl stood for a few seconds and then fell backward. On her forehead, a heavy machine gun component was deeply embedded.

Su buried his face heavily in the earth that smelled of gunpowder.

The battle ended quickly.

This residential area is where this mob settled. The soldiers in the settlement began to search house to house. All the mobs, whether they resisted or did not resist, adults or children, had only one result: they were killed and no prisoners were taken. This is the practice in the wilderness. The capacity of any settlement is maintained at the maximum scale that food and water can be supplied, and no excess share is given to the captives. The young women in the mob might be of some use, but the men were simply a liability. Because most settlements do not have any production capacity, there is no need for excess labor. As for the children of the mob, they are the source of hatred and are even less likely to be left behind.

Sue leaned against the truck alone, smoking her last cigarette. He did not participate in searches of mob settlements, nor was he required to. In the previous battle, he had completely proven himself. If he hadn't knocked out the heavy machine gun twice, I'm afraid the entire army would have been wiped out by the settlement's armed forces. Now even those arrogant old birds were full of respect for Su. They knew that the continuous gunfire just now could not have been caused by a first-order sniper.

The commander walked to Su's side and saw that his cigarette had reached the end. He handed over another cigarette, lit it for Su, and asked, "Feeling uncomfortable?"

"a bit tired."

The commander was nearly fifty years old, and it took more than ten years of fighting to establish the settlement. He had inspected the heavy machine gun position just now, and he somewhat understood Su's current mood. After all, the mob this time is a little different from the past. There is very little decay on their bodies, and their appearance is no different from other humans. In fact, more than ten years ago, the commander led people who were looking for a place to stay, and this was the community we have today.

The wind blew the commander's gray hair, and his face covered with wind and frost scars had a smile that understood the world. This kind of smile had the corners of his mouth pointing downward.

Looking at the residential area where gunshots still occasionally sounded, the commander exhaled smoke and said: "You performed really well today. I doubt you are really just a first-level sniper? Haha, don't mind, I don't I don’t want to know anything. When you go back, your reward will be 200 yuan. I don’t think anyone will object to this.”

Su forced a smile and said, "This is the best news I have heard in these days."

Less than ten minutes after receiving the reward, all the 200 yuan coins were exchanged for pure water, food and ammunition. Su didn't plan to stay in this settlement for a long time. After a brief supply of supplies, he was ready to leave. In the map in Su's mind, this settlement was only a hundred kilometers away from Asmo, which was still quite close. Although Li didn't mean to kill him, she was troublesome enough. And Su always had a bad feeling that she might cause big trouble for herself.

So Su chose to leave.

Before leaving, Su followed his past habit and visited every corner of the settlement. So in the map in his consciousness, there are all the details of what he saw. Su named this settlement k7 based on the coordinates. When this idea came to him, the k7 mark appeared next to the settlement mark on the map.

The commander of the K7 settlement very much hoped that Su could stay. The battle just now had shown that a sniper like Su could completely influence the outcome of a battle. Of course, Su's refusal did not surprise him. Only large companies could retain people like Su. The K7 settlement was too small and too poor.

In the previous battle, the opponent was unexpectedly strong and was able to hire Su for 200 yuan. The commander felt that he was quite lucky, otherwise the result might have been completely opposite. Based on Su's performance in the battle, the commander estimated that his worth was at least 500, but it was absolutely impossible for K7 to come up with such a large amount of money.

In the night, Su left K7 and headed west.

Before leaving, the commander handed Su a map with a location marked on it. There is the headquarters of a mercenary organization called Falcon. The leader of the Falcon was the commander's comrade back then, and the commander meant that if Su was short of money, he might as well try his luck there. No matter where they are, good snipers are always welcome.

Pendulum City ushered in the morning as usual.

As soon as the sky lightened up, loud military songs echoed over the East District, and teams of soldiers began to exercise and run in the dim morning light. Li stood on the rooftop of a five-story building, looking down coldly at the soldiers training below. She was standing on the parapet of the rooftop, and she would fall down if she wasn't careful. The morning wind here was particularly strong and unpredictable. Even warriors at the third level of the fighting domain would not dare to stand casually in such a place: if they accidentally fall down, although they will not die, they will inevitably break a few bones.

The environment in Pendulum Town is better than that in surrounding areas, with relatively low radiation and pollution. Although these soldiers have not specially strengthened their physical resistance, they are all physically strong and can withstand twice as much radiation. Different from the trend in turbulent times that placed more emphasis on personal force, Li admired the military training methods of the old era and paid great attention to the combination of arms and the quality of equipment. It can be said that 80% of the entire Roxland North Division construction funds were spent on Li's army. The current profits generated by the branch are not even enough to support Li's 50 people.

The Roxland North Branch had been established less than three months ago, but Li already had five hundred people under his command. Roxland sent almost half of his elite troops here, obviously not just for a base. Under Li's command, the more people there are, the greater the power. There may be tens of thousands of armed refugees or mobs around Pendulum City, but Li's 500 elites can easily wipe them out.

Within the Roxland North Division, Li Gaolei controlled all the agents in the area, while Li controlled the armed forces. Of course, most agents actually have some strong personal abilities, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in the chaotic and bloody wilderness.

Unlike Asmer under the rule of Penn Company, Pendulum City does not welcome outsiders, and the Northern Branch does not intend to trade with outsiders. After selecting Pendulum City as the location of the branch, Li led the army to clean up the entire city in half a month, and another half month to clean up the underground passages, block and blow up all the unused corridors. Then ten kilometers around Pendulum City were designated as a no-entry zone. Of course, refugees could not live in it, and even members of other companies or settlements were not allowed to pass. Even mercenaries and hunters holding licenses issued by Roxland Company, if the mission area is not within these ten kilometers, Within the kilometer area, entry will be denied without discrimination. Anyone who ignores the warning will be attacked by the Roxland Guard. In the wilderness, attack often means extinction.

The morning light gradually became brighter, and flakes of smoke and dust were vaguely visible in the distance. The sentry who occupied the tallest building on the edge of Pendulum City noticed something strange. Through the high-power telescope, he could faintly see a long motorcade inside the smoke and dust, heading towards Pendulum City. The sentry immediately opened the safety of the heavy machine gun and notified the branch via walkie-talkie.

It didn't take long for the Sentinel to get a response. It was the head office's fleet.

It seems that the person coming this time is a big shot. There were three old-style black RVs in the center of the convoy, and the escort consisted of two wheeled armored vehicles and two troop-carrying trucks filled with soldiers. In order to adapt to the wilderness where there are no roads at all, these RVs have actually been modified. When necessary, the chassis of the vehicle body can be raised to more than one meter. The strong horsepower can ensure that they can traverse all terrains that wheeled armored vehicles can traverse. No matter in which era, style is guaranteed by material things.

The convoy was still one kilometer away from Pendulum City, and Li Gaolei and Li had already appeared outside the city to greet them.

What got out of the RV was an old man with white hair who had begun to put on weight. His light gray suit was permed and his shiny black leather shoes were spotless. The old man always seems to have a smile on his face. Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to have any special abilities. In this era of rapid change, in fact, most people still have no superpowers.

Since ancient times, people have been gifted with distinction, and this is also true in turbulent times. Most people do not have the talent to acquire abilities. Those who are able to develop abilities are mostly limited to a specific field and stagnant at the first level. Although genetic evolution potions can enable ordinary people without talents to generate evolution points and gain abilities. However, the expense and rarity of potions are more stringent restrictions and obstacles than talent. It is impossible for ordinary people to save enough money for a potion in a lifetime, but if they are willing to work hard and are lucky enough, they may evolve after a few battles. point.

Perhaps these two rules have not changed since the dawn of human intelligence. First, people are born unequal. The second point is that people can change this inequality through hard work. However, the irony is that throughout history, most of the time, this kind of human efforts and its effects have only exacerbated the overall inequality in society.

Although the old man was incompetent, Li and Li Gaolei respected him very much. This old man named Fasl is one of the founders of Roxland Company and one of the five current directors. He is a big figure in the company who really has the right to speak.

Behind Fasl, there were two dazzling young people. They both wore the same style of dark black uniforms, with two rounds of dark gold patterns on the cuffs. The color of the uniforms was very different from other Roxland Company members around them, and it was much more luxurious. They were cut and ironed to fit, and the workmanship was exquisite. The uniforms they used were The material is no worse than Fasl's suit. It seems that these two people are not members of Roxland, but belong to another organization.

Of course, outside the city was not the place to talk. The group of people got in the car again and went straight to the branch building. After a while, they sat down in the large conference room on the top floor. All middle-level managers and above in the branch were called back to participate in this meeting.

What is striking is that the two young people who are obviously not members of Roxland are also sitting in the conference room. They sat quietly behind Fasl without saying a word.

The meeting was brief. Fasl expressed great satisfaction with the results achieved by the Northern Division so far, and announced on behalf of the company's senior management that this year's mid-term salary would be increased by 30%. After the meeting, Fasl kept Li Gaolei behind. Everyone in the branch knew that there would be a secret conversation next, so they left happily. Even Li got up and left the conference room. But the two young men remained in the conference room, sitting quietly in the back seats.

Li Gaolei sat in front of the large conference table, feeling slightly uneasy for some reason. Unlike Li, who was relatively simple, Li Gaolei had been working for the company for more than eleven years. He knew very well how much energy this old man in front of him, who was always smiling, kind, slow-moving and seemingly harmless, had. In this world, power has the right to speak, but in the face of wisdom, power can never gain the upper hand.

Those two young men also made Li Gaolei feel curious and dangerous.

The young man on the left is tall and majestic, almost as tall as him, with broad shoulders and a body as thick as a sand barrier. His overall body is very well-proportioned and full of strength. This young man looked to be in his twenties, with a sharp nose and a pair of eagle-like eyes. There was some arrogance that could not be hidden under his expressionless face.

The other one looked younger, looking to be in his early twenties, with strangely smooth gray hair, and his eyes were also a rare gray-green color. Unlike his tall and flamboyant companion, this young man seemed particularly quiet, even a little shy. He was also looking at Li Gaolei curiously. Li Gaolei suddenly noticed that a little light was flickering in the depths of this young man's pupils. Almost at the same time, Li Gaolei felt as if there was an ice current flowing through his body, and his intuition told him that this young man seemed to have seen through him.

Fasl stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, then went over to close the door to the conference room himself, returned to the conference table and sat down. He couldn't help wringing his hands. After a long time, he sighed heavily and said, "During this period, I am very satisfied with you, but also extremely disappointed."

Li Gaolei watched the old man's actions without saying a word. At this moment, he leaned back in his chair and asked casually, "What should I say?"

Fasl took out a few photos from his inner pocket, and with a slight push, the photos slid along the smooth tabletop to Li Gaolei's face. After just one glance, Li Gaolei's expression changed and he cursed harshly: "This son of a bitch!"

On the green background, there were invaders and corpses of various cells everywhere, which was exactly what Li Gaolei saw on the doctor's computer screen at that time.

Several photos are like this.

Fasl took off his glasses and wiped them carefully with a white handkerchief. His eyes that were already a little cloudy were looking at Li Gaolei: "When I saw these photos, I was really, really disappointed. In the past two days , I, an old guy, haven't slept well at all and have been thinking about this. You know, I have always been very optimistic about you and personally sent you to this position. So now, do you owe me an explanation? What's going on? Is it because of ambition or something else?"

Li Gaolei did not answer, but looked at the two young men behind Fasl and asked, "Who are these two?"

Fasl moved his body, pointed to the two young men, and said, "Ha! It seems that I am so old that I forgot to introduce them. This is Mr. Laikner, and this is Mr. O'Brien. Both of them are members of the Black Dragonriders, and they came here specifically for this...intruder matter."

When their names were called by Fasl, both young men stood up and bowed slightly to Li Gaolei, showing excellent etiquette.

The gray-haired young man bowed slightly and said in a melodious voice: "Dark Dragon Cavalry First Class Private, O'Brien."

Another person said: "Corporal Black Dragon Rider, Lecona Fabregas."

O'Brien saluted seriously, while Laiknar showed a hint of arrogance. It seemed that he was especially proud of his family name.

Li Gaolei didn't know if there was a family like Fabregas, but judging from Laikona's expression, he must be a very prominent name. However, it no longer mattered what kind of family Fabregas belonged to. When he heard the words "Dark Dragon Rider", Li Gaolei's eyes twitched suddenly. He originally wanted to light a cigarette, but he struck a match several times and failed to light a fire.

Li Gaolei stared at Fasl and asked, "If my guess is correct, your people should have already started investigating the people in the branch, right?"

Fasl spread his hands and said: "There is no big fight, and there is no need. After all, no one else knows about this except you and Rostam. Li is still a child, I don't think she knows about it. If she is not infected by this... intruder, there is no need to let her know."

Li Gaolei crumpled the unlit cigarette into a ball and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want me to do?"

Fasl leaned back his slightly fat body and said with a smile: "That's right. You know the source of the invaders. What you need to do is to help the two Dark Dragon Knights find this source. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the most important thing about cooperation with the Dark Dragon Riders is honesty. In order to ensure that honesty is not destroyed, Sally has been sent to the Dark Dragon Riders for one year of free education. I can guarantee that. It is a formal basic training within the Black Dragonriders, and it is an opportunity that many families and companies cannot get even with a lot of money."

"Sally!" Li Gaolei's eyes suddenly widened, and his messy short hair seemed to stand up! However, Fasil kept smiling, as if he couldn't feel Li Gaolei's aura at all.

The roaring lion then became discouraged and sat back slumped.

Fasl smiled and said: "That's right. One year in the Dark Dragonrider will have countless benefits for Sally's life, and she is already thirteen years old, and the mutated tissue in her body will become permanent if she does not receive treatment. The Dark Dragonrider has promised to completely cure her. You know, Roxland doesn’t have this kind of technology.”

Li Gaolei's vitals were hit again, his face was distorted, his breathing was as heavy as a steam train, and he buried his head deeply between his hands. After a moment, he raised his head and said in a low voice: "Let Li go."

Fasl laughed happily and said: "As I said, Li is still a child and very talented. The company needs her."

At this time, Laiknar stood up and said with a smile: "I'm glad we can cooperate. Now, I need to know all the details of how you obtained the intruder sample."

A moment later, a color sketch of Su appeared in front of Li Gaolei. He couldn't admit that this portrait was really lifelike, especially the green eyes that seemed to hide a volcano under their calmness, which made Li Gaolei feel as if Su Zhen was standing in front of him.

This portrait was created by O'Brien. This quiet and even shy young private first class had extraordinary artistic talent. He drew such an almost realistic portrait using only Li Gaolei's dictation, a few colored pencils and a few corrections.

Laiknar looked at Su's portrait carefully and said, "His appearance features are very obvious, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. Mr. Li Gaolei, we need to use your team of agents so that once they have information about this person, Just report back to us immediately. Now, prepare some cars for us and let’s go to Asmo first.”

Li Gaolei looked at Laiknar. Although this young man's arrogance made people a little uncomfortable, his strength was undoubtedly strong. Even just standing next to him, Li Gaolei felt the dull pain of needle pricks on his skin.

"Do we need to recruit some manpower? This Su is very difficult to deal with." Li Gaolei said.

Laiknar glanced at O'Brien and replied calmly: "No need, we brought our own retinue. No matter how difficult Su is, as long as we can find his whereabouts, O'Brien and I can handle it. You All that needs to be done is to provide vehicles and approaches.”

Half an hour later, Li Gaolei drove his off-road vehicle out of the headquarters building and drove along the road out of the city. Sitting in the passenger seat was Laikna, while O'Brien took up the position of the machine gun shooter, looking left and right at Pendulum City with interest.

When the off-road vehicle drove through the city's west square, Li was standing on the high platform, looking indifferently at the soldiers who were practicing below. Her short, flying chestnut hair was particularly conspicuous.

Laikona stared at Rei, taking in every line of her hair. From the first meeting, Laikona was very impressed by Rei's long and powerful legs. It wasn't until the SUV rounded the corner and Li could no longer be seen that Laiknar withdrew his gaze and smiled at O'Brien and said, "I never thought there could be such a great girl in such a small place! Wait a minute. I must find a way to fuck her once when I'm done, but to be honest, I'm afraid once is not enough! So, if you are interested, I will let you do it!"

O'Brien frowned, and he keenly sensed a trace of imperceptible anger in Li Gaolei. In response to Laikona's question, he said calmly: "I have someone I like."

Laikona laughed and said, "Hey! Don't be so serious. You come out to relax! Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic. But I really want to know who can make this guy like you fall in love."

O'Brien smiled peacefully and did not answer the question.
