Chapter 325 New Team

Qiao Yu walked towards the crowd and saw from a distance several young men and women standing in front of the task panel choosing tasks.

There were four men and three women, and the man in the lead already had three task cards in his hand.

After the man drew another task card, several people went to the task registration office to register together.

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows. They were really fighting just like they did before.

Qiao Yu inexplicably felt a sense of "the waves behind are pushing the waves in front forward".

She chuckled and shook her head, no longer paying attention to them, and dragged Jiang Zhan and Hua Yue to the team management office to register.

Walking out of the Mercenary Hunter Center's gate, Qiao Yu smiled and extended his hand to Hua Yue, "Welcome to the Pendulum. I'll be happy to see you there from now on~"

"You are the ones who should teach me." Hua Yue smiled shyly and gently held Qiao Yu's hand. "Thank you, Sister Qiao."

"You are the pendulum?"

Just as Qiao Yu and Hua Yue finished their conversation, they heard a male voice coming from the side.

Qiao Yu turned around and found that they were the four men and three women he had just seen in the mission hall.

These people looked okay, but when they saw Qiao Yu and the other two, they couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Oh... hello, I'm Tang Minghui, the captain of 'Jifeng'. I've heard of you for a long time." The leading man was the first to react. He extended his hand to Qiao Yu in a friendly manner and said with a smile.

Qiao Yu glanced at Jiang Zhan and saw that he looked unhappy, so he didn't offer his hand. He just nodded to Tang Minghui and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you."

When Tang Minghui saw that Qiao Yu did not shake his hand, the smile on his face faded slightly and he withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

"I wonder what you guys want to talk to us about?"

Tang Minghui smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. We just arrived and wanted to get to know each other and make friends."

“Oh, haha…”

Qiao Yu didn't know what to say for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.

She has never been good at dealing with this kind of team that is neither very close to her nor has much ill will towards her.

Jiang Zhan and Hua Yue were not the type to like chatting. At this moment, Qiao Yu somewhat missed the royal diplomat Cheng Sinian.

Just as Qiao Yu was thinking about whether to come up with an excuse to run away, he heard Tang Minghui continue to speak: "Captain Qiao, you guys just went to the mission hall. Did you notice the level 4 mission on the mission panel?"

"Level 4 mission?" Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. She hadn't noticed this just now.

"Yes." Tang Minghui nodded, "Crack down on the black market."

Qiao Yu, Jiang Zhan, and Hua Yue exchanged a glance, and suddenly their brows furrowed. "Crush the black market?"

"Yes." Tang Minghui nodded again, "Don't you know yet?"

"Ever since the rise of the 'Slave Market' in the black market, people have been disappearing from the base frequently. Initially, it wasn't frequent. But in recent days, the number of disappearances has increased. Just yesterday, even the youngest son of Commander Feng Xing of the Western Military Region disappeared."

"Commander Feng was furious. In a fit of rage, he directly issued a mission to gather a team of mercenaries and destroy the black market."

When Qiao Yu heard the news, his brows furrowed slightly.

This is not good news.

The black market is the home of the dependents.

Although there are good and bad people in it and there are indeed many criminals, there are also kind people like Chen Wanning, Mu Yan and Mu Yuan.

They already had nowhere to go, and now they have to be implicated in this unwarranted way. It is really unfair.

"Why not just find a way to clean up the slave market? Why kill them all?" Hua Yue also frowned and said indignantly.

"Well, Commander Feng didn't issue this order entirely because of his son. It was also because of the recent surge of alien species."

Qiao Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Alien tide?"

"You don't know this either?"

Tang Minghui's expression suddenly became indescribable, as if he was saying: Are you the newcomers, or are we the newcomers?

"..." Qiao Yu was speechless for a moment, "We went out on a mission a few days ago and just came back today."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Tang Minghui said with a look of sudden realization, "Then it's understandable that you didn't know."

Tang Minghui thought for a moment, "This seems to have happened four days ago... Yes, four days ago, the second day we arrived at the base."

"From that day on, the base was attacked by alien species every day. Each time, there were thousands of alien species. Many of the mercenaries sent out died."

Four days ago? Wasn't that the day after they left City A?

It is not uncommon for survivor bases to be attacked by alien species.

Because there are many humans in the base, they will naturally attract the pursuit of alien species.

A large part of the troops in the base are also working on clearing out alien species on the periphery.

However, although attacks like this happen every day, there are rarely waves of alien species. At most, there are small groups of dozens or hundreds of them.

But... being attacked by alien species every day is really too unbelievable.

This frequency is definitely not normal.

"Then what does this have to do with the black market?" Hua Yue asked in confusion.

"It seems like it's okay, but it's not completely irrelevant." Tang Minghui continued to explain, "The strange thing is that the black market is so close to us, and their manpower and firepower are not as abundant as ours, but this alien tide just won't attack them. What do you think this makes everyone think?"

Qiao Yu pursed her lips. "So what you're saying is that the base believes this was an attack launched by the dependents?"

"How is that possible?" Hua Yue was full of disbelief. "If the people in the black market had the ability to control alien species, they wouldn't have to make a living in a place like that!"

"I don't know about that," Tang Minghui shrugged. "I only know that there's been a lot of complaints in the base lately, and most of them are rumors that are detrimental to the black market, and they're pretty unpleasant."

Qiao Yu touched his chin.

Why does she feel... that someone is behind this and deliberately wants to stir up conflict between the base and the black market?

But why?

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?

We have the snipe and the clam, but what about the fisherman? Who is he? And what profit can he get?

Seeing that Qiao Yu and the other two were silent, Tang Minghui's eyes flashed and he spoke again, tentatively asking, "Gentlemen, are you interested in taking on this mission?"

Their team's foundation in the base was still very weak. Although they had shown some potential by working tirelessly every day, they were still nobody and could not get in touch with any upper-level teams, let alone recruit people to take them on level 4 tasks.

After asking around, they finally found out about a "big pendulum".

——Although a team has only two levels, it is a "potential stock" with many legendary deeds.
