Chapter 148 Bloody Team
With the help of various special abilities and hard work of the "Big Pendulum" team, five tasks with a time limit of two days were completed before sunset today.
Because the mutant trees are too tall and difficult to transport, the Mercenary Hunter Center stipulates that the trees can be cut into several sections and brought back. However, the length range of each section can vary depending on the mission requirements.
Qiao Yu checked the task card, cut all the trees according to the requirements, and then put them all into the space.
"Aren't you going to stay outside?" Cheng Sinian raised his chin.
If I go back like this, people will definitely be suspicious, right?
"It's okay." Qiao Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to get in the car. "Let's go back a bit first. When we get closer to the base, we can find a place to put the things out."
When the car was about two kilometers away from the base gate, Yu Qingchuan stopped the car.
Qiao Yu got out of the car and called Wang Zha down from the roof, then he climbed onto the roof himself and put out all the sand, gravel and wood he had just collected.
However, due to the excessive amount of wood, the roof of the car couldn't hold all the stuff. Qiao Yu touched his chin and slowly turned his gaze to Wang Zha, who was squatting obediently beside him...
So more than ten minutes later, the guards at the gate of the survivor base in City G sounded the alarm of the base's first line of defense.
The reason is that there is an unknown giant mutant beast in front, moving rapidly towards the base gate.
"Sir, look!" A guard pointed tremblingly at the huge figure vaguely visible behind the mist, his voice filled with fear.
The mutant beast was extremely huge, with a high bulge on its back. It was taller than all the mutant beasts seen before and looked very ferocious.
Chu Yi stood behind a row of artillerymen, his eyes fixed on the gradually approaching figure in the distance, his expression serious, as if he was about to give the order to fire in the next second.
The dark shadow was getting closer.
Just as Chu Yi was about to raise his hand to order the artillerymen to fire, car lights suddenly appeared in front of him.
“……?”
Chu Yi frowned, and in a daze, he saw the animal body and car model behind the mist gradually appear.
——It was a giant mutant black wolf carrying a high load of wood, and a heavy truck RV carrying a large amount of wood on top.
This combination seems... a little familiar.
"Colonel Chu."
Yu Qingchuan stopped the car about a hundred meters away from the artillery platoon, got out, and asked with narrowed eyes, "What do you mean?"
"..." Chu Yi came to his senses and quickly ordered all the artillery to withdraw. He personally stepped forward to explain: "Researcher Yu, it's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Chu Yi recounted what had just happened with a slight embarrassment, then apologized to Yu Qingchuan, "...I'm so sorry, I'm so offended! Researcher Yu, please forgive me..."
Qiao Yu and the others had a general impression of Chu Yi, so they didn't get out of the car and let Yu Qingchuan negotiate with him.
Although he had provided Yu Qingchuan with a pass to enter the research institute when they first arrived at the base, it was also from this pass that it was clear that Chu Yi was a very short-sighted person. He had some cleverness, but no great wisdom.
He only saw that Yu Qingchuan was a mutant and a descendant of Dr. Yu, but he never thought about why Yu Qingchuan, such a powerful and respected mutant, was willing to play the role of "driver" in their team and obey their orders.
But it doesn't matter. They didn't think of relying on the military anyway, so Chu Yicong's stupidity didn't matter to them.
As long as he doesn't provoke them, they will naturally be able to live in peace with him.
Yu Qingchuan didn't argue with Chu Yi for too long. After asking what happened, he returned to the car and spread his hands helplessly. "I told you not to let Wang Zha carry things, right? It's too conspicuous."
Qiao Yu curled his lips, looking unconvinced, but ultimately did not refute.
When the RV arrived at the mercenary hunter center, Wang Zha was already so hot that he was sticking out his tongue in the cold night of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.
The rate of returning survivors they met along the way was almost 100%.
Even when they were handing in the mission, the mercenaries who had not yet left the mission center gave them a "salute".
The staff checked the tasks of the five people and stored them in the warehouse, and then distributed the task rewards to them in one lump sum.
When the onlookers learned that Qiao Yu and his four companions had completed five tasks at once, they all showed great respect for them.
These people are the so-called "liver emperors"...
"Hello!"
Just as the five of them were about to leave the mission submission hall and drive home, three strange men suddenly blocked their way. The man in the lead extended his hand to them, looking very sincere.
"My name is Qi Yong, and I'm the captain of the seventeenth-ranked 'Blood Color' team. If you don't mind, can we be friends?"
When he said this, he was looking at Qiao Yu. Perhaps he also saw who was the leader of this team, so he went straight to Qiao Yu.
But Qiao Yu didn't respond. He just turned his head and touched Wang Zha, who was restless because of the approach of a stranger, in a soothing manner.
Seeing this, Cheng Sinian very "naturally" reached out and shook Qi Yong's outstretched hand, putting on a smile and nodding, "Hello, hello! We are the Big Pendulum."
Cheng Sinian didn't know whether it was because he felt that Qiao Yu was not giving him face, or because he was intimidated by the name of their team, but he clearly noticed that Qi Yong's expression paused.
But this feeling was fleeting. Qi Yong quickly calmed down and continued smiling, "Ever since you accepted the mission today, I've noticed you and have always wanted to meet you. Don't think I'm being presumptuous, I'm just genuinely curious and in awe of you. I wanted to see how you managed to accept seventeen missions at once and complete five of them that afternoon..."
Cheng Sinian's smile didn't fade, as if he was a little slow to react, and he opened his mouth and said, "Ouch! Brother, did you just say your team is ranked 17th on the leaderboard?! How disrespectful! My name is Cheng Sinian, hello, senior!"
Cheng Sinian shook Qi Yong's hand vigorously to express his "excitement", until a subtle contempt flashed in Qi Yong's eyes and he let go of his hand first, then Cheng Sinian let go of him with a smile as if he didn't notice.
"Hey, we're nothing, nothing at all. We just arrived at the base and used up all our cores renting a place, so we picked some easy missions to earn some cores quickly. As for the five missions we completed this afternoon... that was pure luck..."
Cheng Sinian said this with a mercenary expression, and he kept talking about crystal cores. "But these quests give out a lot! Just five quests, and they give out twenty-five crystal cores! And the higher the level, the more you get. We must keep working hard!"
"Hey, brother, your team is ranked so high, there must be some secret, right? How about... give us some guidance?"
