This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 376 Aiglade Safe Zone

It was already late at night when the train arrived at Aiglade. The wind was freezing outside and the snowflakes were flying. Lu Ye first felt the harsh climate of Western Shandong.

He left the station by car with the Patriarch and his entourage and went straight to the monastery of the diocese.

Sitting in the car, I kept looking outside, and finally saw the girls in the gap between the searchlights.

He couldn't reveal the relationship between Demon King Walder and the War Knight yet, so the girls couldn't show up yet, so he had to ask Anjie to take everyone to find a nearby place to stay, and he had to follow them to the monastery.

He just agreed to help the Patriarch do something for him, but for whom, he hasn't told him yet.

Observing this safe zone along the way, it was similar to the one where Hamed lived in Heijia International. It was a defense system built with simple walls and watchtowers. There were almost no civilian vehicles on the streets, and all were military vehicles.

In the wind and snow, you can see the peacekeeping troops still on duty and patrolling. It must be said that the conditions here are quite difficult.

When mercenaries come to work in a place like this, they have to pay extra.

The safe zone is not big, but it looks dark overall, without any light, as if the town has completely merged into darkness and given up on light.

Sandra's slender neck didn't even want to move for him, she just stared at the road ahead, ignoring his questions.

They were tightly wrapped in jungle camouflage coats and wore scarves all over their heads. They wore them as long as they could keep warm. Moreover, the mental state of these armed personnel was not very good, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

There is a relief station not far from the entrance. People can receive a limited amount of relief food with proof of residence. Lu Ye took a quick look. It was basically potatoes and some rotten black vegetables. It was really worse than Hamed. At least there There are also herdsmen who can obtain meat lipoprotein in the most primitive way, and they also have land that can be cultivated. However, in western Shandong, the climate is already cold, and with the pollution of land and water sources, people cannot even be self-sufficient.

As he walked inside, Lu Ye also saw some defense personnel here.

"Where are the people here?"

A very important detail is that there are basically no logos on them.

This is not only a holy monastery, a place where everyone prays for blessings, but also a place where many people struggle to survive.

It's cold at night, so it's okay to see no pedestrians, but why is there no daily lighting for the residence? It looks like a ghost town.

"The war got people used to living underground, where at least they could find warmth and safety."

This time it was Lu Ye's turn to remain silent. Seeing the poor living environment here, he somewhat understood the Patriarch's compassionate thoughts.

Because he saw that the location of the parish monastery turned out to be an abandoned subway station!

As he stepped out of the car and entered the underground passage, he saw a completely different scene.

Once there is a lack of personnel rotation and combat supplies, the combat effectiveness of mercenaries is worse than that of militiamen - they do not have the spirit to defend their homes. If the working conditions are too difficult, the quality of the mercenaries' service will definitely be greatly reduced.

"Is this the contractor you hired? Are they all stragglers? Why not find big companies like Black Armor International or Absolute Force?"

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination, and Lu Ye naturally knew the answer.

The lights in the underground space were still bright and much warmer. From time to time, armed men came and went in groups, and there were also many ordinary people in tattered and thin clothes, just kneeling on the floor and mumbling.

Sandra remained silent, probably considering that this question was within the scope of work, and finally answered: "It is difficult to recruit mercenaries in Luxi, the conditions are too difficult, and safety cannot be guaranteed. It is also freezing cold, and the face Faced with hardship and death, desperadoes are more willing to work for underground forces, at least to make more money. All we can find are veterans with tactical training among the people."

Lu Ye frowned and thought about it before he understood.

Mercenaries are just "fighting agents" who are good at fighting smooth battles, and the situation in Luxi is due to the passive Western Union, the strong Lusen, and numerous underground parties. The battle situation here is a battle royale mode where the development of the situation cannot be estimated. The mercenary group comes in You will face threats from various overt and covert camps. Even if you make money, you may not have the life to spend it. The death rate is too high, so naturally no one will take up this hot job. In the final analysis, mercenaries work for money. The amount of money is one thing, the difficulty of the work is another, and whether the boss you follow has a future is also a very important factor.

At least in Luxi, there is currently no promising boss, and neither is the Holy See.

Putting it into perspective, if Lu Ye had made the same choice, he would not be willing to let friends like Duha and Zana come here to work. As for veterans like Tom and Sayer, they would definitely not be able to invite them. If you didn't see Samuel, those Lusen people could take the Ural Golden Eagle to Bazhou to seek life.

Walking along the passage to the depths of the underground monastery, we finally saw the appearance of the Dot Church in an independent area.

Rows of seats, surrounded by statues, decorated with flowers, and a few dim candles swaying stubbornly, guarding a cross in the middle.

This is the church hosted by Patriarch Kirill. It’s really... quite shabby.

Lu Ye didn't stay long and was taken to an inner room by Sandra, asking him to take a rest.

"Someone will come to talk to you about your work, please wait a moment."

Just leave Lu Ye here and leave.

Lu Ye could tell that this nun really hated him from the bottom of her heart. As for why...

A common disease among older nuns is endocrine disorders.

He didn't bother to warm his cold butt, so he just sat down and started contacting his team.

Ask Anjie about their situation first.

Although there are a large number of underground buildings in the local area, they couldn't figure out the way around when they first arrived. It was easy to be noticed underground, so the little witches chose a high-rise above ground that had not completely collapsed. Although it was a bit cold, it was the tallest nearby. buildings to facilitate their establishment of long-term observation positions.

Unknowingly, the battlefield survival rules brought by Jialan have also affected the combat habits of the witches, and the girls have grown into a witch team with considerable tactical literacy.

Lu Ye was more worried about whether the children were cold or hungry outside.

Anjie told him not to worry.

As long as you find an airtight room and make a simple heater, the physique of witches is far better than that of ordinary people, and the magical heat preservation function is still very practical.

Feeling relieved knowing that the girls had settled in Lu Ye, he continued to contact Jialan.

Jialan has arrived at Egrande ahead of schedule, and I don't know what she is tracking about Connors.

"Jialan, we're here, how are you doing there?"

After a long while, Jialan's voice appeared on the channel:

"not too good."

Lu Ye was agitated and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

Garland described the situation on her side in the calmest tone: "Connors, may be dying."
