Chapter 170 Mercenaries

The moment Zhou Qingfeng shook hands with Johnson, he got a series of information out of thin air.

‘You have passed a sudden test of life and death. '

‘Your decisiveness and poise in dealing with it earned you a perfect rating in the heat of battle. '

'You turned the tide of battle, and the skeletons will hate you to the bone. '

'You have the sanction of the Brotherhood of Steel. But beware, this is not friendship. '

‘Your travel time can be freely adjusted, every day you spend in the wasteland, you can get the same rest time in the world. '

'You have acquired the superpower 'Murderous Awe-inspiring', as long as you kill the enemy or destroy the enemy's heavy equipment, your combat effectiveness will continue to increase by 5%. This effect disappears automatically after leaving the battlefield. '

Zhou Qingfeng was stunned for a long time, realizing that this was equivalent to an upgrade. After Johnson shook hands, he led the team to pursue the Skull and Bones and expand the results. Zhou Qingfeng and the others had no intention of staying on the battlefield, and found a car to return to their own community.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng and others returning victoriously, Lena Fox threw herself into Zhou Qingfeng's arms and gave him a deep kiss in front of everyone. 'Dog Meat' circled around its master and hostess, barking non-stop.

Both the butcher and David Lawrence laughed out loud at this, only Katerina watched from the sidelines and twitched the corners of her mouth forcefully.

Over the next two or three days, the Brotherhood of Steel drove Skull and Bones out of Manhattan, but lost Brooklyn. The two sides faced off across the East River and continued to be in a stalemate.

Generally speaking, the Brotherhood of Steel is still at a disadvantage, but they occupy the most elite areas in New York. Both sides used cannons to bombard each other, but the veterans of the Brotherhood of Steel gave full play to their technical advantages in the bombardment, and the skeletons of the bombardment would be overwhelmed.

But these are meaningless to Zhou Qingfeng.

"Joining the Brotherhood of Steel will at least keep our property." The Armed Priestess Society established by Lena Fox lasted less than half a month before it was over. But the management structure she built was retained and made leaner and more efficient. Is the reason....

"Yeah, we also got rid of those burdens." Zhou Qingfeng sighed looking at the farther and farther Manhattan Island.

The Brotherhood of Steel allowed Zhou Qingfeng to keep his private property, but stripped away the thousands of people gathered by Lena Fox. Now they have only a team of less than fifty people left,

With dozens of large vehicles stuffed with supplies, take a ferry to Staten Island, the home of the Brotherhood of Steel.

"We are temporarily far away from the flames of war." The butcher stood on the side of the tugboat with Zhou Qingfeng, and behind him was Minsk, who had just gotten up from the hospital bed. This scenario seems pretty good.

But David Lawrence left the team, and he officially joined the Brotherhood of Steel with his daughter and Tony Parker. By virtue of his identity as a white man and a veteran, he was awarded the position of commander of the third-level assault group and continued to work hard to find his wife.

Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to deal with David Lawrence's departure. Seeing Angie bid farewell to him pitifully, he really wanted to tell him that in two months, New York would be bombed. But he also knew that even if he could explain clearly, it would be useless. David Lawrence's desire to find his wife back was extremely strong and stubborn, and he would never give up easily.

There was another thing that caught Zhou Qingfeng off guard, that is, that silly woman Katerina left alone without knowing what she was thinking. That's right, she left Zhou Qingfeng and David Lawrence a note one morning, and left alone.

I don't know what the shrew wrote to David Lawrence, but the note to Zhou Qingfeng said: "Victor, I'm glad to meet you, but I think I should leave. Please don't come to me, thanks!"

It was a very simple passage, but Zhou Qingfeng felt inexplicably sad after reading it. Although Katerina is a bit of a maverick, she is a good companion.

If you say 'don't look for it', you must look for it! Zhou Qingfeng searched for it with 'dog meat', only to find that Hunny seemed to have built a boat and ran to the Skull and Bones defense area. He couldn't find it even if he wanted to, so he could only return angrily.

As for Zhou Qingfeng himself, the Brotherhood of Steel gave him a "fifth special operations team" organization. To put it bluntly, it is a mercenary under the Brotherhood of Steel. If you work, you will be given daily necessities, and if you don’t work, you can just stay there.

It seems that this kind of life has a high degree of freedom, but in the last days there is no big organization to rely on, no one cares about food and drink, and everyone will be caught blind when their reserves are exhausted.

"Let's continue with our plan to escape from New York. There are fewer people and fewer people. At least we don't need a big ship."

After Zhou Qingfeng and Lina endured successive blows, they wisely gave up their big and comprehensive end-time life plan, and they began to think about making a small but refined one. After settling down near a small port on Staten Island, Zhou Qingfeng exchanged a 'Jaguar' armored vehicle for a speedboat and a lot of fuel from the Brotherhood of Steel as a means of transportation.

"We need to travel a long distance, so a 5,000-ton cargo ship is a must. It is best to use a ro-ro cargo ship. After all, we have a lot of property and a lot of vehicles."

"With a ship, you need sailors, but now all sailors are controlled by the Brotherhood of Steel. They will not send these professionals to us."

"Even with ships and sailors, we still need a lot of diesel. According to the original plan, we will go along the east coast to the southern United States, which will consume a lot of fuel."

"There are also all kinds of supplies for eating, drinking and looting along the way. Our current reserves seem to be very rich, but we won't last long."

Fortunately, the issue of the ship is that New York is a global port, so it is not particularly difficult to get a big ship. The crew and fuel that can drive the ship are very overwhelming.

In order to raise these things, Zhou Qingfeng had to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Brotherhood of Steel, "I want to hire some professionals and urgent supplies..."

Before Zhou Qingfeng could finish speaking, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel's Ministry of Internal Affairs handed him a form, which listed the tasks of various mercenaries, "Mr. Hugo, you are our Fifth Special Operations Team .As long as you serve us, we will provide corresponding compensation. Anything you want can be satisfied."

Most of the lists are price lists for material purchases and sales, but this task of collecting materials is meaningless to Zhou Qingfeng, and it is a waste of time. He saw the end, the Brotherhood of Steel offered a bounty to hunt down five high-level figures of the Skull and Bones, and the rewards were extremely high.

"What do you mean by ticking the first four people?" Zhou Qingfeng asked, "So they were killed?"

The interior staff replied: "No, this means that other special operations teams have taken over the corresponding tasks. You must know that you are the 'fifth', and there are four teams ahead."

"Oh, then this last person..." Zhou Qingfeng felt that the reward for hunting the leader was quite good, and he was about to take over this task.

But with a 'bang', a big slap fell on the desk of the internal affairs officer. A burly man squeezed to Zhou Qingfeng's side, lowered his head intently, stared at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Boy, go back to your mother's place to nurse! You are not capable of such a dangerous task!" (To be continued. ) to enable the new URL
