Chapter 709 Mercenary Gray Fox
Hearing the voice from behind, Hao Ren could only shake his head and stand up. Then he saw a small group of soldiers standing more than ten meters away from him, with several small-caliber individual weapons pointing this way.
There are only seven soldiers in this group. They are all wearing uniform gray and black combat uniforms. Their equipment is diverse, but the same thing is that they are all armed to the teeth. The soldier standing in front of the team who seemed to be the leader was very surprising: she was a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old by visual inspection. It was not clear whether she looked too immature or if she was really a boy scout. She raised a light rifle and aimed it at Hao Ren. Her eye-catching gray hair was tied into a single ponytail and thrown behind her head. The expression on her face was blank - except for the cautious attitude that a soldier must have. , no emotion could be seen from her at all.
Hao Ren was surprised that even such a young child wanted to participate in the war in this place, but after thinking about the world, it was not that surprising. He opened his hand to show that he was not a threat: "Finally I saw a living person...don't be so nervous, I'm just passing by."
"What are you doing there?" The voice of the data terminal rang in my mind, "This machine senses that you are nearby, why don't you come over to help?"
"Can't you hear what's going on around you?" Hao Ren asked in his mind while observing the small group of soldiers in front of him.
"I don't know what went wrong. The current sensor of this machine is very slow." The voice of the data terminal was very frustrated. "I'm afraid there was something wrong when the transmission came in this time. Only part of the consciousness of this machine was transferred to the dream plane. Now. This machine is trying to restart several service programs."
Hao Ren groaned, and at the same time he saw the "Boy Scout" girl in front of him pointing her gun in this direction several times, and several soldiers around her were approaching from the left and right directions. The girl asked with a straight face: "State your identity, are you a mercenary or a scavenger, a natural person or a second-generation evolved person?"
Hao Ren didn't know this, but in order to learn more about the situation on this planet, he still wanted to try to communicate with the people in front of him: "I don't know what you mean - I just passed by here. I would have known this place." There won’t be any war.”
"Can you still find a place where there is no fighting?" A soldier wearing a full-coverage helmet laughed, with a dull echo in his voice. He scanned Hao Ren with some device mounted on his rifle. , turned to the gray-haired girl and reported, "Nolan, he seems to be a civilian."
"Civilian?" The gray-haired girl named Nolan finally had an expression on her face. She frowned and came over to check in person. Hao Ren saw a small black device on the opponent's gloves that shimmered. She used this device to He took a photo here two meters away: It seems that it is a more advanced scanner. "It has no combat nerve response...it doesn't even have the most basic embedded chip?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise, Subconsciously, he clenched the rifle in his hand: "An extreme conservative natural person?"
Hao Ren quickly speculated on the meaning of the various terms mentioned by the other party, while trying to lower the other party's wariness: "Then if you say he is a natural person, just be a natural person, but I don't think I am an extremist..."
No matter which world you go to, extremists are not welcome, at least this is certain.
"Whether you are an extremist or not," Nolan stared into Hao Ren's eyes, "civilians should not be here. But no matter how many mercenaries there are, just know that you are not a soldier - this place is not peaceful, so leave quickly Well, since you can come in, you should also know how to get out."
Nolan said, taking the people and preparing to leave. When Hao Ren saw this situation, he quickly stopped them: "Hey, wait a minute! Can I go with you?"
A soldier raised his gun slightly and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously.
Each of them has an almost neurotic vigilance. How long has this war lasted?
Hao Ren continued to open his hands to show that there was no hostility, while making up excuses to reasonably contact these mercenaries (according to Nolan's words, these people were mercenaries): "Everyone who came with me has died, and I am alone. But I can’t get out of this damn place.”
"We have to get paid for our work," Nolan pointed to a sign on his chest. "The innocent 'Grey Fox' troops, as long as the price is right, we will deal with anyone. Since you dare to go to the Rift Valley City activities, you should know the rules of our mercenary business."
Hao Ren felt relieved and felt that his judgment was right: mercenaries are the easiest group to contact in the world - as long as you pay the right price.
This is all learned from dealing with Betsy.
And at that time, Betsy also made special suggestions in this regard: If you come to a strange world, as long as your words and deeds do not appear too suspicious, it is undoubtedly very smart to find a group of mercenaries as an entry point. As long as the price is fair and there is no danger or temptation that would make them betray, mercenaries are the best bodyguards and guides. They will not ask too many questions about their employer, and as long as the employer does not hold back, they are willing to answer questions. For many things, the same sentence remains: as long as the price is right.
Of course, the premise is that these mercenaries must have some professional ethics.
Hao Ren spread his hands: "I don't have any cash if you want it. Can I have something else?"
"Jewelry? Gold?" Nolan looked Hao Ren up and down with strange eyes, "A rich man who escaped? Okay, that's fine, but those things are more troublesome to deal with, so you have to give me a satisfactory number."
Hao Ren immediately pretended to take out his pocket, took a handful from his trouser pocket and threw a gold nugget over: it was picked up from the planet Tanagus.
Nolan and her soldiers were stunned. A circle of people stared at Hao Ren. The soldier who had completely hidden his face under his helmet couldn't help but said: "You... came out with half a catty of gold bricks in your pocket." Wandering around?!”
After being reminded like this, Hao Ren suddenly realized that what he was doing was not normal: he didn't even bring a wallet with him when he went out, but he was running around carrying half a catty of gold bricks. This didn't seem to be something a normal person could do. thing……
But at this time, he couldn't explain it. He could only nod his head and said, "My situation is complicated and it's hard to explain to you. Just tell me whether this number will work."
Nolan nodded, but then raised his gun: "I don't know if you really lack common sense or what...you said wouldn't it be more appropriate if we just kill you and take your gold?"
The surrounding mercenaries made all kinds of strange laughter, and several of them had raised their guns.
Hao Ren thought of this classic plot when he took out the gold, but he didn't expect that the development of things would be so uncreative: "Then you shoot, I guess you will find the door to the new world after the gun goes off. But I still have to say, you guys are so uncreative."
"Is there really someone who is not afraid?" Nolan stared, then raised the corner of his mouth and put down the gun, "Hey, teasing is pointless. Let's go, I said, we are innocent 'grey foxes', you Both your gold and yours are safe. But you won’t be so lucky if you meet other mercenaries—Mr. Rich, who is not very smart."
This time it was Hao Ren's turn to be surprised, but it was lucky for these mercenaries to maintain their principles under such circumstances. It was lucky for both Hao Ren and them.
Only then did Nolan carefully examine the gold nugget in her hand. Because normal people would not carry such a piece of gold around as travel expenses, so her first reaction was that it was fake. But after checking it, she found that the gold was real, but the situation was a little strange: "Why are there so many teeth marks on it?"
Hao Ren thought about it and felt that he couldn't admit that this was the mark left by his dog girl's grinding teeth...
Several mercenaries turned around and prepared to leave. Nolan gestured to his new employer to follow, but Hao Ren suddenly remembered something and shouted quickly: "Wait a minute! I left something else. It’s around here.”
Nolan showed an impatient expression: "Hurry up, don't delay."
Hao Ren waved his hand and followed the signal from the data terminal to a ruins more than ten meters away. The mercenaries followed curiously.
Some collapsed construction debris was piled on the ground. Judging from the nearby craters with residual warmth, it was concluded that this place was destroyed by a bomb not long ago. Hao Ren felt that the signal from the data terminal was coming from below: That guy really found a good place to land.
Hao Ren bent down to move away the cement fragments. Nolan asked from the side: "Is the thing you are looking for buried under here?"
Hao Ren hummed and tried his best to dig in the ruins with the strength and speed that a normal human should have. Two mercenaries beside him were kind-hearted and stepped forward to help. Soon the ruins were cleared and a big hole was opened, and the signal of the data terminal was right in front of them.
However, Hao Ren was stunned when he saw the situation in the cave.
It's not his flying brick inside.
is a person.
