"Night Hunters?" Zong Ruoan frowned, then nodded after a moment. "You have a point. I had actually forgotten about them. However, I still don't understand. The Night Hunters are at best a spontaneous civilian bounty hunter organization. How could they have so many powerful individuals? If they have such powerful individuals, why don't they recruit them to our Special Security Bureau? Are the conditions we offer not generous enough?"
Yi Nanping thought, you are the eldest son of the Zong family, you have always been high and mighty, you probably don't know how deep the water is in a civilian organization like the Dark Night Hunters...
He coughed and said, "I'm just guessing. I need to investigate who did it. Also, the traces at the scene show that those tentacle descendants were killed by Zong's military industry's 085 and 093 bullets."
Zong's military industry belongs to the Zong family, and Zong Ruoan happens to be the eldest grandson of the Zong family's current generation.
Zong Ruoan looked up in astonishment: "Is this a product of our Zong family's military industry?!"
He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but soon felt that it was inappropriate. He turned the words around and said in a different way, wondering, "Could the bullet kill be just a facade? Could it be to cover up the fact that this was the peak-level A-level mental powerhouse behind it?"
Yi Nanping frowned.
He had not thought about it from this angle, because the scene was too shocking. He almost immediately concluded that this wave of remnants were killed by conventional thermal weapons.
Although there has never been a precedent before.
From this perspective, Zong Ruoan's analysis still makes sense.
But what the truth is must be supported by actual data.
Yi Nanping stood at attention. "Yes, Colonel Zong, understand. We will continue to investigate."
Zong Ruoan frowned and nodded. "Okay, continue your investigation. Have you uploaded all the data? Our technicians are waiting for modeling and analysis."
“They’ve all been uploaded.”
"Well, keep working on it."
Zong Ruoan ended the call after he finished speaking.
As soon as the call ended, the light and shadow in the room changed, and it returned to its simple and unpretentious appearance when I first came in.
It looks like an ordinary home.
…
Just as Yi Nanping was being questioned, Xia Chujian and the others were also discussing the "regular troops" who were rushing over quickly in the team's combat aircraft.
"Captain, this is clearly our hunting operation, why are these 'regular troops' getting involved? Who are they? Where did they get this information?!"
Li Fu was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"Will someone leak the secret?" Song Mingqian has always been a skeptic who sees danger in everything.
But he was only worried about one thing: "Our mission was to kill the human traffickers and rescue the kidnapped hostages. We completed the first requirement, but we were unable to take the kidnapped hostages away... Will this affect our performance?"
Ping Qiong also said: "If Captain Ye hadn't urged us to hurry up, I would have woken those people up and taken them away. At most, I would have squeezed in a little. They are not big anyway..."
Ye Shijie was also puzzled, but he didn't show it. He just said calmly: "After I sent the on-site situation to the branch's cloud system, it has confirmed that we have completed the task. It should not affect the results."
As for why the "regular army" was also able to get involved in this operation, that is the question mentioned above.
Ye Shijie did not say this explicitly.
This is none of their business.
A few people were complaining, but gradually, the joy and secret satisfaction of surviving the disaster overshadowed their dissatisfaction, and their mood was not too depressed.
…
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the branch of the Night Hunters Association in Mulan City.
The branch is located on the top floor of a commercial building in Mulan City Center.
Standing on the top floor of a building hundreds of stories high, with clouds passing by beneath your feet, the people on the ground look like ants.
A small combat aircraft slowly landed on the top-floor balcony.
Xia Chujian followed his teammates and jumped out of the aircraft.
It was already 1:30 in the morning and there were not many people in the branch. However, due to the nature of the branch, there must be people here 24 hours a day.
Entering through the bulletproof glass door on the balcony is the branch lobby.
The interior of the house is decorated in a simple and low-key style, with the silver-white color of the special metal covering the entire space from the ceiling to the floor.
Walking in, it feels like walking into an oval snow cave that shines with silver light and is full of high-tech content.
There is a huge square counter in the center of the hall, which handles matters such as task release, score settlement, personnel deployment, and complaint reporting.
Xia Chujian first ran to the results settlement counter and said to the staff on duty there, "I am a member of the 321st team of the 9th group of the 3rd district of the Guiyuan branch. We received the mission No. 2578 of the Dingzi. Today's mission has been completed. All human traffickers have been successfully killed."
Her focus was on emphasizing that they killed all the human traffickers, which obscured the other main point of the mission, which was to rescue the abducted victims.
The staff member searched the supercomputer in front of him for a long time, nodded, and said, "The system confirms that Team 321, Group 9, District 3, Guiyuan Branch, has successfully killed five human traffickers and rescued the abductees. This completes the mission and they can receive a B-level merit."
"Ah? I can get B-level merits for a T-shaped mission?!" Xia Chujian's eyes lit up, but he remained calm and asked, "How much can a B-level merit be exchanged for?"
The staff member was very surprised and finally looked up at her.
Xia Chujian was wearing a black mask, so his entire appearance could not be seen, but his helmet had been taken off, revealing a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water. In the faint silver-white light in the room, they were as bright as stars, extremely brilliant.
But when she asked the question, she tilted her head slightly, revealing the birthmark on her face.
Under the skin as white as fresh snow, the red birthmark on the left temple is particularly obvious.
At first glance, it looks like a gorgeous red spider lily in bloom, but upon closer inspection, the thin red blood vessels are clearly visible.
The extremely beautiful and pure eyes with distinct black and white were surrounded by a hideous red birthmark. In the fleeting glimpse of his handsome face, there was a hint of silent murderous intent.
The staff was so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.
Until Xia Chujian looked puzzled, raised his hand and knocked on the counter of unknown material, making a crisp tinkling sound.
The staff member finally came to his senses and asked again, "Are you sure you want to exchange B-level merits for cash? No one has ever exchanged B-level merits for cash before."
"Yes, sure." Xia Chujian said lightly, looking at the staff member with sharp and firm eyes.
The staff member lowered his head and calculated, then said, "It can be exchanged for 500,000 Beichen coins."
Five hundred thousand?!
Xia Chujian remained calm, but his bright eyes were almost bursting with brilliant sparks called "money".
Five hundred thousand!
Li Fu happened to come over and heard this. He patted Xia Chujian's shoulder happily and said, "Five hundred thousand is a lot! Before, we could only exchange five hundred at most!"
"Five hundred thousand Beichen coins are enough to buy you a five-bedroom, three-living-room apartment in the best location in the west district of Mulan City! It also comes with a private bathroom and kitchen!"
Ping Qiong also came over and said enviously, "My parents' combined annual income is less than 10,000 yuan! Chu Jian has earned what my parents earned in 50 years in one go!"
Because the wages of ordinary people in Mulan City are so low, 500,000 Beichen coins is a huge sum of money here.
Xia Chujian tried hard to remain calm, with only a slight smile on his lips.
While waiting for the staff to change her money, she glanced back at Ping Qiong and said casually, "Sister Cai can also change money."
She knew that what Pingqiong hated most in her life was the name her parents gave her, so since Pingqiong started elementary school, she gave herself the nickname "Sister Cai".
Ping Qiong was overjoyed when Xia Chujian called her by her nickname. She said excitedly, "I need to think about it! Think about it! It's actually a B-level merit! B-level!"
Song Mingqian tossed his long bangs, never forgetting to style his hair, and said gravely, "Many teams might not even get a B-level merit after 50 years of missions. What's so special about this mission? Why can a T-shaped mission earn a B-level merit?"
The T-shaped mission corresponds to the D-level merit. It seems to be only two levels lower than the B-level merit, but the value is exponentially different.
It's like the difference between five hundred yuan and five hundred thousand yuan.
But why?
"Yeah? Why?"
Li Fu and Ping Qiong followed suit, muttering to themselves, neither of them understanding.
Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his head to send a message in the team group using his smart bracelet: 【I advise you to exchange it into cash as well. In case the staff makes a mistake in the exchange, it will be difficult to recover the money if you take cash...】.
When she said this, Li Fu, Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian immediately nodded in agreement.
Only after the three of them had exchanged their money for Beichen coins did the team leader Ye Shijie enter the hall.
"What are you guys doing sneaking around together?" Ye Shijie was very dissatisfied with his own team and always felt that they were not as good as he thought.
"Captain, go and exchange the money... B-level merit! It's probably a mistake..." Li Fu, who was as tall as a brown bear, ran over to deliver the message to Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie's pupils suddenly shrank: "Isn't it a T-shaped mission?! How can it be a B-level merit?!"
"Yes, yes! We thought so too! That's why we all chose to exchange it into cash! Now it's safe in your pocket!" Li Fu patted the pocket of his long-haired coat happily.
It was as if the 500,000 yuan in cash was in his pocket.
In fact, the money is digital currency and has been transferred into their personal accounts.
Ye Shijie glared at him: "You're useless! Do you know how many good things B-level merits can buy that lower-level merits can't?! You only care about money! Money! Money! Why don't you just hang yourself to death?!"
Li Fu was scolded so much that he shrank back and said angrily, "...Captain, what are you spouting?... By the time that staff member comes to his senses, I don't think you'll even have time to cry!"
Ye Shijie strode to the counter, revealed his identity, and confirmed again and again: "Is it really a B-level merit? Are you sure?"
The staff member was so annoyed by them that he projected the page to them: "See? This T-shaped mission corresponds to a B-level merit."
Several people stared at the virtual screen floating in the air and fell silent.
Ye Shijie was relieved and broke the silence, saying, "I don't want money. I want to exchange it for high-level supernatural defense weapons and the mental training time in the association's virtual system."
Li Fu, Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian took a look at the money in their accounts and suddenly felt that the huge sum of money was not so attractive.
For them, the genetically evolved ones, supernatural weapons and hours of mental training are the real hard currency!
What's the use of asking for money...
I was really led astray by Xia Chujian, an ordinary person whose genes cannot evolve...
The three of them complained in their hearts, and then rushed to the score settlement counter again.
"I want it back!"
"I want to change it back too!"
"And me!"
The staff member's expression changed: "Do you think this is a vegetable market? You can change it if you want! It's not that easy! - Unless you deduct the handling fee!"
"Just deduct it! How much can it be?! I'll give it to you now!"
After a lot of arguing, a few people finally exchanged their money for supernatural weapons and mental training time.
Xia Chujian remained infatuated with her and would smile in ecstasy from time to time when looking at the amount of money in her smart bracelet account.
Everyone looked at her and instantly felt that a smile blessed by money was always particularly sweet.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Shijie whispered to Xia Chujian, "You're a hunter. What's the point of asking for money? You should exchange it for some advanced defensive supernatural weapons. You don't have mental power, so you have to be on guard against others using their mental power on you..."
Xia Chujian refused: "Captain, I'm just an ordinary worker. Hunter is just a job for me. What else do I want if not money? - Don't use mental attacks as spiritual encouragement to fool me. We don't play games!"
Seeing that she was determined, Ye Shijie stopped trying to persuade her. He shook his head and said, "It's up to you. The mission is over today, you can go home. I'll let you know when there's a mission next time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the virtual screen hanging above the task release counter in the hall made a ticking sound like falling water drops, and then updated the content of today's tasks.
The first new task scrolling on the virtual screen was to go to the exotic beast forest north of Mulan City to look for a rare plant called Blood Qilin.
The level of this mission is not even the Ding level, but the Geng level, which is three levels lower than the Ding level.
Ye Shijie sneered, "Searching for a rare plant like the Blood Qilin, and going to a dangerous area like the Exotic Beast Forest, is just a Geng-level mission. Anyone who takes a mission like this is an idiot."
…
At the same time, Mulan City was still asleep in the early morning.
The best residential area in Mulan City - West 001 District is brightly lit, like the most dazzling pearl under the night sky.
Most of the residences here are single-family villas, but there are also some high-rise buildings. However, the distance between each building is quite far, and you can't say hello to the person opposite by opening the window.
The single-family villa community is full of carefully manicured beautiful scenery. When it gets dark at night, there are various light shows, which are simply magnificent.
In the beautiful helipad of a single-family villa in the center of the community, there are several private aircraft of various sizes parked.
Among them was the large private aircraft that had just left the six-story building at No. 334, West Zone 089.
The windows of the detached villa are all hung with soft pink and purple velvet blanket-type self-heating blackout and soundproof curtains.
So even though it was as bright as day inside the villa, it was completely invisible from the outside, as if no one lived in the villa at all.
A tall lady wearing a veil was sitting in front of the bed in a bedroom on the third floor of the villa, looking nervously at the girl lying on the bed.
That was what she had just rescued from that filthy house.
The girl's face was covered in redness, swelling, bruises, and blood, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
The clothes on his body should have been changed recently, they were clean and tidy, but the dark brown whip marks on his exposed shoulders were shocking.
A doctor in white protective clothing is giving the girl a comprehensive examination.
Thanks to the two big alliances "Wuaitang" and "Qianxiaoqingsha" for the rewards!
“Star Boss” has added two new leaders!
Of course, the leader will add more chapters, and I've written them down in my little notebook. I'll start adding more chapters once the game is released.
During the new book period, I hope everyone will support me with recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and Xiaoxiang tickets! (#^.^#)
