Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

There are often mercenaries in and out of the music restaurant, and there are usually "former" mercenaries and Lucy's long-term staff to maintain the operation. The small gangs on the street dare not disturb them at all-if a big gang comes, Lucy will also Choose to spend money to avoid disasters first-so this place has always been a favorite safe haven for nearby residents.

Everyone will choose to come here to relax after get off work. If there are banquets, family gatherings or celebrations of some important days, they also like to come here.Here, you will not be disturbed by vicious gangsters, and you will be taken care of by arrogant guys.A place where everyone can enjoy peace and joy is always very popular in Peicheng.

Every time it is open, the restaurant is always lively.Not only can the house be full, sometimes additional seats are added outside the house for the temporary rest of the guests in line.Today is different. Although the restaurant is full of people, including inside and outside the office on the second floor and in the corridor, there is no customer.Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao sat on the chairs at the door, guarding the sign beside them that read "Closed for one day today".

After careful observation, Zhuang Xuteng finally confirmed that Ge Gongdao was indeed in a good mood.The big man shook himself off his low mood and returned to being goofy and jovial again.He ordered a full glass of cold beer for himself and Zhuang Xuteng, sat leisurely under the parasol, served the wine with salty soda bread sticks, and commemorated the past history together.

"The Viper still died in my hands—although it didn't happen according to the scene I imagined, but the result is the same." Ge Gongdao fumbled for the glass wine glass, staring at the small bubbles floating up in strings of orange-yellow wine scene. "I was not very happy at the beginning, until I figured it out: it is impossible for everything to go well. If everything is done according to my ideas, the Viper should die according to my wishes when I know that he is a traitor How can I still live to this day!"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, raised his wine glass to touch Brother Dao, and said, "I'm relieved if you think like this. I'm afraid that you will suddenly lose your life goals and become decadent."

"My goal as a mercenary has never been to kill traitors, not in the past, nor in the present nor in the future. The Viper is just a stage in life, and I have always been a greedy person, and there will always be a next goal!" Ge Gongdao took a sip of beer and hiccupped forcefully: "It's cool! This thing is still enjoyable. The guy in the back kitchen always asks me to buy cocktails, which is not pleasant and expensive."

Speaking of the back kitchen, Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "It's the first time I know that the guy in the back kitchen can also dispose of corpses."

"I just found out." Ge Gongdao put down his wine glass and said, "I was holding the dead body and walking in the restaurant. That look... Anyway, it will not affect people's appetite. They probably don't want to bother to clean up afterward, so I said Able to provide this type of service. I asked and found out that they have done similar work before, such as cleaning battle sites, restoring broken things, and putting makeup on corpses so that they can pass the inspection of crematoria.”

"It feels like an enhanced version of the funeral service." Zhuang Xuteng concluded with a smile: "But how did they get hired by Lucy?"

"I didn't ask about it. It's probably because of the middleman war and the recent series of enrollment expansion! This is also very good. The service items are more comprehensive, and we can save some time and focus on what we are best at."

What we are best at - that is fighting.Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly, and said: "Brother Dao, I think we should also expand our recruitment and increase the number of people in the team. The two of us have gained some fame, but this fame is for fighting. To put it bluntly, it means killing people. If we can only As a killer, the mercenary will feel uncomfortable doing it, what do you think?"

Ge Gongdao stopped, thought for a while, and then nodded: "You are right. Our master has strong fighting power, and now this view has gradually transferred to the two of us. If there is no other ability to supplement, we will become killers Combination, this is not good."

"Comparatively speaking, you are the worst one. I can still lurk and hide, but you can't. Therefore, I still have a future as a killer, and your road will become narrower and narrower." Zhuang Xuteng held his hand Rubbing his cheeks, he said: "It is necessary to recruit people, but also to increase the areas we are good at. This requires a good plan."

Ge Gongdao raised his eyebrows, heheed twice, and said, "You'd better talk about your thoughts first! Judging by your appearance, you must already have some ideas."

"Our last mission was very successful, relying on the cooperation of multiple parties. Brother Dao, we lack intelligence and other professional skills. Since the intelligence industry requires special implants, the two of us are obviously hopeless, so we have to rely on recruiting It's up to people to solve it. I want you to inspect the two sisters, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow, mainly to see how their character is. In terms of ability and on-the-spot performance, we have actually seen it, at least qualified, right?"

Ge Gongdao stroked the wolf fur that had just grown back, and nodded slowly. "I think their abilities are not outstanding among intelligence officers, but they are enough. But you have to take into account one thing: after forming a team, you have to find a way to cope with the expenses of the entire team. Two frontline intelligence officers have to It cost a lot of money!"

Intelligence officers spend more than other mercenaries mainly on the maintenance of implants, and the implants of Nightingale and Chaffinch cost more because of their poor quality.However, Zhuang Xuteng can reduce the side effects suffered by the two sisters by absorbing the grievance, which is equivalent to saving them money.In the comparison of equal pay, Zhuang Xuteng's ability will bring them high points, and even have the effect of finalizing the decision.

"I have a good relationship with them, and they would prefer to form a team with us." Zhuang Xuteng could not say in public that he could reduce the side effects of implants. It must be tied together and not separated at all. We have what we are good at, and what they are good at, and we can cooperate with each other in action. Don't forget that we two want to increase the types of entrusted tasks, don't they want to?"

Ge Gongdao thought for a while, then nodded slowly.To put it a little arrogantly, the combat power of the two of them is relatively high in the ranking of the mercenary industry, but the ranking of the two of them in the intelligence field is not so high.If we want to enrich the means, Nightingale and Chaffinch have relatively higher demands on them.If the four of them cooperate, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao will have a better negotiating position and will be able to dominate the situation.

But you can only think about it in your heart, never say it.On the surface, Ge Gongdao still sighed: "Hey, thugs are easy to find, but intelligence officers are few. We have to perform well to make the sisters fall in love."

"Be tempted? Is that what you said?" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile, and said, "But one thing is true, thugs are easy to find. Brother Dao, we still lack a good driver who can drive anything."

"You let me go?" Ge Gongdao scratched his head and said, "I can drive a car now, and I also understand how ships sail, and then there are dump trucks and forklifts...I don't know anything else, especially Aircraft. I'm so big, it's not easy for you to let me fly it!"

"You don't look burly in the cab." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I think you are the best candidate for the reserve team and the final line of defense. With you in the center, the operators in front can rest assured. Especially when When you control the means of transportation, everyone doesn’t have to worry about the escape route. Brother Dao, think about it, is this position very important.”

Ge Gongdao frowned and said, "I still think you don't want me to charge forward..."

"You are big and have obvious features, so it is too easy to be recognized. If you are asked to charge, you must not be prepared to leave the enemy alive. Do you think about it?" Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile.

"Well... mainly because my name has been made public, and some mercenary operations are indeed difficult to handle. I used to be a freelance mercenary, and I would do this for one today and another for that tomorrow, and I couldn't get important jobs. Not now It’s the same, following Lucy regularly, and having a mentor, this is also a restriction for me.” Ge Gongdao thought about it carefully, and said: “Indeed, the job of ensuring the safety of the back road is very important, I don’t worry Leave it to someone other than you. When Viper betrayed me, it cut off my retreat route and seriously delayed me, so..."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, added a handful of firewood to the fire, and said, "I also came up with this idea after listening to your past lessons. No matter how we form a team, temporary or long-term, everyone knows that in our mercenary industry Brother Dao is a moral and reasonable person. With you in the back, even if someone sways his mind a little, he will have more scruples and reduce the possibility of him betraying us."

"Indeed, I get it, it's just that learning to drive makes me a little scared. This aircraft..."

"If you sit in the front row or the back row, the flight cockpit may have to be modified. Besides, if the mission is very dependent on the aircraft, we can also find someone else. Brother Dao, you may not be very proficient, but you must."

Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, isn't it just a wolf going to heaven! But if you can't learn from me, you have to learn too! Even if it's just to accompany me."

"Hee hee, that's fine! If you don't ask Prince to accompany me but call me, aren't you afraid that people will feel neglected by you?" Zhuang Xuteng said using this topic: "Brother Dao, you can ask Prince, she Also a good choice."

I thought I was sure of everything, but I didn't expect Brother Dao shook his head, his attitude was still very firm. "No, I won't look for her. This has nothing to do with trust, it's just a concern of the mercenaries. Every time you go on a mission, there is always a possibility that you won't be able to return. If two people go together, they may die together. If something really happens, whether it's collecting the body or Revenge, there is always another one. The more intimate, the less partner."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "Isn't it? I think the left and right hands are always together, and aren't rock sparrows and nightingales the same?"

"Are Palovich's men still considered mercenaries? I think they have become the white gloves of the riot squad." Ge Gongdao curled his lips and said, "As for Nightingale and Chaffinch, they act together Only when they have time can they show their due strength, just like 1+1 is greater than 2. If they are separated, they will appear a little weak alone. Therefore, as mercenaries, it is safe to keep a little distance between close people."

Prince is not a good candidate, and her abilities overlap with those of Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, especially after the same implant is installed, this situation is even more obvious.

"Brother Dao, how did your team allocate work? What kind of talents do we need?"

Ge Gongdao picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then wiped his mouth with the short hair on his arm.His face was a little rosy, but I don't know if it was because of alcohol or other psychological reasons. "My team was just put together, and there is no planner like you to do talent planning. At that time, we thought about having more people and more strength, saving a sum of money, and replacing them with better quality implants. Think about it, We don't even have a complete set of implants, how can we take care of all kinds of specialties?"

“Is there a model to follow in the industry?”

"Hehe, you are asking the right person. If there is a successful model to follow, I will not be sold." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "The road can only be walked by ourselves, and other people's footprints may not be suitable. Our feet. Naike, I am very curious about one thing: You asked me to learn to drive, so what are you going to learn? Your character will not relax your demands on yourself, I know this too well."

"I want to learn to walk lightly, and then use our existing strengths—you should understand what I mean?" Zhuang Xuteng opened his palms, slowly closed them, and said, "After the implants are put in, you have to re- Adapting to strength, I have some experience in this process. I want to try to practice and see if I can develop in this direction."

This is the assassin's way of action, and this is Nike's plan for his future?Wasn't the goal of increasing the team's manpower before is to avoid becoming a killer assassin operation group, why did it go back again?
Zhuang Xuteng patted Ge Gongdao's arm and said, "Brother Dao, don't frown! We are rich in abilities, specialties and methods, just like we improve martial arts, and we will never suffer. But outsiders look at us, the first impression of us will always be It can fight. If there is no progress in this area, it is not good. I will study silent operations, and you will be responsible for vigorous operations, which is also a rich means!"

"I frowned not because of this, but..." Ge Gongdao hesitated, and said, "Speaking of moving lightly, Prince is a good player. You won't become her style, right? Thinking about it a bit Goosebumps."

"Brother Dao, I won't become her even if I learn from her. Why are you awkward?" Zhuang Xuteng covered his forehead and said helplessly, "Wait a minute, are you trying to block the possibility of me learning from her? I'm worried Who should I ask for advice, and you are blocking my way?"

"Uh... I don't mean that. If you want to find someone to learn from, I can tell her that it's okay to be an intermediary guarantor. It's just that in the mercenary industry, skills have to be exchanged for skills. The two of you What kind of agreement is reached is none of my business."

"No problem, as long as you can build a bridge." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands and said, "It's better as soon as possible. I want to improve myself as much as possible before the next task."
