Chapter 30 Entering the World of Mercenaries at the Beginning of the Journey to the South
The mercenary area, located in the southeast of the [Suhang] area, is a place with little population density and extremely frequent population flow. After all, what mercenaries need is a place to rest. They don't need a house to live for a long time like ordinary people. Even if they buy a house, a large group of people squeeze a room and don't need a single room.
Because of the particularity of this area, the government army can't interfere too much, so they have to let the mercenaries establish their own order. As a result, some unsavable businesses have gradually shifted to this area, making the environment here complex again and again. If the residential board house is a civilian area in [Suhang], then the mercenary area is the poor kiln of the city.
The poor kiln does not represent poverty. It is just dirty and disorderly, so there are not many serious people living in it. When it comes to points, ten bundles of civilians who honestly work and get paid are not necessarily more than a mercenary. Mercenary, the points come quickly and go quickly. It's just a profession that puts its head on the belt. Who knows when he accidentally hangs up. Therefore, they pay attention to having fun in time and spend the points earned by completing the task lavishly. They don't have to think about how to live in the future like ordinary people. The fast-paced flow of points brought by these mercenaries directly promotes the economic development of the mercenary area.
And compared with the monotonous economy of the civilian board housing area, the economic model of the mercenary area is colorful and almost everywhere. There are all kinds of things, such as pornography, gambling and drugs, and there are all kinds of luxury and rare items - after all, this is the largest human gathering place in East China and even the whole China. As long as you pay enough price, you can find almost anything you want.
And in such a chaotic area, Chu Feiyue and several people are walking on a road leading to the mercenary hall. Along the way, Chu Feiyue looked curiously at the pedestrians passing by. She was full of interest and couldn't see the anger when she called Su Shi.
Not far away, two groups of mercenaries are fighting. There are capable people on both sides. The sound and light effect of the fight are good, but the range is a little large. But looking at the hawkers around him, he was very calm about what to do and was completely unaffected. At most, it's just to make room for me. So are the pedestrians on the road, watching the bustle, talking about business with hawkers on the roadside, and rushing on the road. They didn't pay attention to the vicious * incident in the middle of the road at all.
"The mercenary area is like this. Even if it is opened for them, they will still fight when there is no one. At the beginning, we were still in charge of it. Later, we found that this place didn't seem to need us to manage it at all. It had its own set of laws, so it was free. Yuan Jialing walked beside his sister and pointed to several mercenaries who were fighting together and said with a headache.
As a maintainer of urban order, it is really unpleasant to see someone fighting on the street but can't stop it.
Out of sight, Yuan Jialing took a deep breath, took a few people to bypass the battlefield between the mercenaries, and continued to walk forward. Behind them, the fierce collision of the mercenaries was still heard, reminding them that it was dangerous around.
"Oh, it's really an interesting place." Chu Feiyue said with a smile.
"There is no order, the reality of the law of the jungle. People here use language and wealth to disguise a world that is about to collapse, which is no different from the outside world, as the current false civilization. I have to say that the leaders here do have a way. The girl Chu said to Chu Feiyue's words.
The temperament of Chu Feiyue is incompatible with the group of personalities who have been wandering in the mercenary area all year round. There are no one hundred or fifty peeping eyes along the way, but no one came up to make trouble. This is mainly due to the blessing of Yuan Jialing. As several masters of the military in [Suhang], Yuan Jialing's reputation is at least very loud in the mercenary area.
If you can be accompanied by a figure at the level of Yuan Jialing, then the identity of Chu Feiyue is worth considering. Even if the army doesn't care much about this place, it doesn't mean that the army doesn't care about it. If he stabbed the hornet's nest, Su Shi directly ordered someone to ask for help. Even Tianwang Laozi couldn't keep him - of course, that was when Su Shi was in power, when Su Lei came to power...
Along the way, more and more people are dressed strangely. He was covered with a cloak and didn't even show his face. He was a big man with ammunition on his armed belt. There was a deep scar on his face. He looked like a knife-wieling uncle, who exuded evil charm and even looked at the sexy woman... The people here are very characteristic.
But their goal is the same, that is, the highest silver-white building in the mercenary area, the second tallest building in the whole [Suhang], and the government agency that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time: the mercenary hall.
"Oh, this house is good." Chu Feiyue raised her head, stood in the shadow cast in the mercenary hall, and looked at its rough corner line and praised it.
The two female guests at the door of the mercenary hall have long seen many people who admire the building, because everyone who comes here will be like this. Every newcomer will dress up very brightly when he comes for the first time, just like Chu Feiyue is now. Among mercenaries, such a dress is not a status symbol, but a label for novices.
Only newcomers who can survive the first mission are qualified to grow, but this chance is only 10%... Because the entry task of becoming a mercenary is to hunt a first-order zombie and obtain its crystal nucleus. People who do not absorb crystal nuclei are not qualified to become mercenaries.
It is life or death, and the future development direction depends on the first task. The surviving mercenaries affectionately called this task a "ghost gate". After the "ghost gate", it means that you have left the world of normal life and entered the world of mercenaries full of bloody winds.
Although the pass rate is extremely high, there is still an endless stream of inquirers at the mercenary registration office. Because [Sushang]'s broad policy of mercenaries makes mercenaries have a high status in the hearts of civilians. It can be said that the most decent job in [Suhang] is: soldiers and mercenaries. Because everyone knows that these two professions are the umbrellas of their own lives. It is with them that the peaceful life of the common people.
So although the mortality rate is very high, there are still many people who are looking forward to mercenaries joining this dangerous industry.
The design of the mercenary hall is very scientific. The first floor is just a huge entrance hall, with a huge LED billboard hanging on the wall, on which the entrusted tasks are constantly rolling. Although this information can also be found on mercenary watches, people still like to read these big words. In the middle of the hall, there is a large row of business windows. This is the place to handle the handover of tasks. If the newcomers sign up, they have to go upstairs.
In fact, these tasks on the first floor are left to small mercenary groups and even individuals. The large-scale mercenary task should be discussed in detail in the single room upstairs. After all, there are still many things that are not convenient for everyone to see on the big screen. This information is on another billboard upstairs. Therefore, the billboard on the first floor is also called the "outside list", while the much smaller billboard upstairs is called the "internal list".
Upstairs is still a place for mercenaries to communicate with each other and supplement supplies. There are special places for mercenaries to set up stalls to sell the good things they found during their mission, and the place where mercenaries receive guns and ammunition is also here. It is also the place that Chu Feiyue is most interested in.
Entering the foyer, the surroundings were messy. One by one, their heads were squeezed in such a large space, and people were dizzy. Fortunately, everything in this building is clearly written on the sign on the roof, and Chu Feiyue saw the place she wanted to go at a glance.
It's on the third floor...
But just as Chu Feiyue was about to go upstairs, she was stopped by one of the two waitresses standing next to the stairs.
"Little brother, wait a minute." The girl in a water-green robe stretched out her hand in front of Chu Feiyue. "This place is not open to tourists. Only mercenaries can go up."
"Oh? And this rule." Chu Feiyue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there is a clear boundary between mercenaries and civilians. The world of mercenaries is incompatible with civilians, and it is good for everyone to open a distance between the two. What about the mission?"
"If you want to publish a task, please go there." The girl pointed to the corridor behind the row of reception windows and said, "That's where the task is released."
is quite perfect, and it seems difficult to get along.
But no one can stop Chu Feiyue's stubborn temper, and he has to go to the place where the mercenary set up a stall. Of course, he doesn't want to be a terrorist or something. After all, he came to see the bustle this time, and there is no need to make a lot of noise. And this kind of little thing, do you have to use a knife?
Touching the mercenary watch on his wrist, Chu Feiyue dispelled the idea of continuing to use it to muddle through. This is the nest of mercenaries. I won't play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
"As long as we are mercenaries, we can go up, right?"
The girl nodded and stopped Chu Feiyue's hand, but she didn't mean to put it down at all. She put on a serious face and said solemnly, "Little brother, you have to think about it. The road of mercenaries is not as beautiful as you think. They have too much bitterness. It's not too late to regret it now.
It seems that this girl is the last warning before the new mercenary enters. After this, you really can't look back.
"Ha, thank you for reminding me. Don't worry, I have no problem." Chu Feiyue nodded and smiled, "Mercenaries, I have long wanted to see what kind of people they are."
Since Chu Feiyue said so resolutely, the girl let him go and turned her eyes to the girls behind her.
"We are together." My sister's smile blocked the question of the girl in green.
The girl nodded, with a little helplessness, and led Chu Feiyue and several people to walk upstairs.
