Trickster Hunter

Chapter 236 Source of Soldiers

"Missionary?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but frowned, "Missionary and buying and selling cultural relics... these are things that cannot be dealt with, right?"

"You are wrong." Zhulong corrected him, "In the early years, many Westerners secretly smuggled antiques and cultural relics from Xiazhou back to their own countries under the guise of doing business, missionary work, and cultural exchanges... …There are many of our national treasures on display in the Museum of Great Britain, but unfortunately, I’m afraid we will never get those things back.”

"So, this Judra is also a thief?" Ye Jiu asked angrily.

"I don't know, the federal government can't find Judra's criminal record here." Zhulong shook his head, "But he would be mixed up with people like Shang Dalin, so he is probably the same breed."

Just when Ye Jiu wanted to ask more questions, a field operator ran over, saluted him, and said loudly: "Report to the team leader, in the branch tunnel, we found a total of 190 In addition to seven artifacts and fifteen infected people with severe body distortions, according to Researcher Yang's request, we also found fifteen bronze figurine lamps with body characteristics corresponding to those of the infected people. What should I do? deal with?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm not a researcher!" Ye Jiu glared.

"But, you are the leader of this operation..."

"That's when we set off. After arriving at the mission location, the command authority will be fully handed over to Researcher Yang. Okay, don't bother me!" Ye Jiu waved his hands.

"Understood!" The field operator saluted again and trotted away.

"These young men are quite energetic." Zhulong glanced at the back of the field operator, "They are much better than the bad-tempered, tough, messy, and a lot of idiots in Chunming City... To be honest, what I hated the most was dealing with Tianshu Tower’s field department. It would only cause trouble when I was working, and then I would have to say that they had contributed a lot after the work was done... tsk tsk tsk.”

"These people have just been promoted from the Anomaly Investigation Bureau and the City Defense Guards. The actual training time is less than two weeks." Ye Jiu sighed, "The old man who is addicted to cigarettes drew a cake for them. , saying that if you perform well, you have a chance to be transferred to Tianshu Tower... This group of people immediately seemed to be on fire, and each one worked harder than the other during training. "

"Is the position in Tianshu Tower so popular?" Sun Hang asked with some suspicion, "The cake drawn by the old man in the wheelchair is probably full of pitfalls. They thought the Tianshu Tower was the Tianshu Tower in Chunming City, but in fact it was the Tianshu Tower in Chunming City. It’s the construction site above us. I wonder if these young men will be disappointed when they know the truth.”

"They know." Ye Jiu said, "But this still does not dissipate their enthusiasm. Being able to join Tianshu Tower, no matter what job they do or where they work, for ordinary people, it is considered to have completed a jump in social class. ——And it’s the kind of person who jumps several levels in a row, with benefits that are many times better than those of civil servants, and various safeguards... not just the person, but also spouses, relatives, the next generation, and even the next generation. Enjoy it, do you think this quota can prevent people from scratching their heads? "

"Speaking of which, are these people all newcomers?" Zhulong narrowed his eyes, "Didn't the field department of the Tianfu City Monster Research Institute expand its recruitment twice when the eternal night just came?"

"Before the fall of eternal night, there were a total of 155 active staff in the field department of Tianfu City's Institute of Monster Research. But now, including me as a temporary help coolie, there are only 97 people." Ye Jiu He sighed, "The entrapment operation on Chimera No. 17 directly caused us to lose eight full field teams. In addition, due to the Those who retired due to serious injuries or disabilities... During the period before you came back, there were only about forty people left in the entire field department, and more than half of them were civilian operators sitting in offices facing computer screens... His grandmother's, during that time, I was almost divided into eight people to use, it was simply the ultimate beast. "

"I think we can recruit more people." Sun Hang said lightly, "Chimera will come back on the 17th. By then, more people will die."

"I also want to recruit more people, but the city defense guard and other armed departments are also stretched thin." Finally finding an opportunity to talk, Ye Jiu immediately began to vent his bitterness to Sun Hang, "Sun Hang, you don't know Ah, in order to snatch these people away, I was quarreling with the heads of those departments every day. Don’t you think my neck is now thicker than before? "

"You're still wearing a neck protector, I can tell." Sun Hang complained.

"Do you know what the heads of those departments told me? Damn, they said that either one person should not come to dig, or if they want to dig, they should dig out the entire department... Damn, this abacus is about to jump. It’s on my face!” Ye Jiu cursed.

"Then just dig them all up." Sun Hang said nonchalantly.

"What I lack now is the kind of tough man who can carry a gun and shoot down strange things. The average age of the people in charge who quarreled with me is over fifty-five years old, with a big belly. In addition to sitting in the office and drinking tea, Besides reading newspapers, what else can they do? If my father finds out about recruiting people like this, he won’t be able to kill me. Are you yelling at me? Besides, the number of places approved by the above is limited, and I can’t guarantee that all of these people can join Tianshu Tower. When the time comes, those old guys will take advantage of their authority. If a group of places are lost, the cake I drew for them will be completely ruined... Who will be willing to work hard at that time? "

"This question is simple." Sun Hang took out his pistol and cocked it with a click, "Just kill all those guys who are just eating their corpses."

"Are you out of your mind?" Ye Jiu rolled his eyes at Sun Hang.

"It's not broken." Sun Hang said, "This kind of processing method is generally called efficient."

"Even if Tianshu Tower is protecting you...hey, damn it, I don't want to mention those people anymore. The more I mention them, the angrier they become. I'm really afraid that I can't help but pick up a gun and shoot them all." Ye Jiu patted his head hard, and the collision between his gauntlet and helmet made a crisp sound.

"Damn it, sooner or later I will be infected by you and become a lunatic." Ye Jiu muttered.

"You are quite crazy right now." Sun Hang looked him up and down. "You want to fight with me as soon as we meet. It's probably because you are itchy."

"Young Master, this is called Wu Chi!"

"Wu didn't see it, he only saw Chi." Sun Hang's middle finger flicked up instantly, "A kid like you will drool even after being cured."

"Pfft... Hahahaha." Wang Xiyi, who had not said much, suddenly burst into laughter. While laughing, she held her stomach and waved her hands to Ye Jiu, "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you... …It’s just that I can’t help it…it’s so funny…hahahahahahahaha I’m laughing so hard…”

"Grass!" Ye Jiu flew up and kicked away a pebble on the ground, "I've been driven crazy by those old guys who have been bullying me all day long. I finally got a chance, so of course I have to vent. …”

Before he could finish his words, the small stone he kicked bounced off the rock wall and the dome several times, and finally hit his helmet accurately, making a crisp sound.

"It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting." Sun Hang commented.

Wang Xiyi on the side suddenly smiled even more unrestrainedly, and even the corners of Zhulong's mouth, which had always been steady, couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Damn it." Ye Jiu stomped the pebble that fell back to his feet again into powder, "You can laugh if you like, but Sun Hang, you have to find a way for me... Two hundred, no, one hundred Man, the field department now needs at least a hundred field operators to barely fill the work gap. No matter what, you have to find a way to find a hundred cows and horses for me, no matter what method you use..."

"Should we be able to recruit people from the reinforcements from other city-states?" Zhulong suggested.

"I tried it. As soon as I poached a few corners, the leader of my original unit immediately made a long-distance call and scolded me." Ye Jiu smiled bitterly, "He also threatened that if I dare to poach again, the next time I send reinforcements, I will only send cleaning staff. The personnel are here.”

"Hello, uncle sweeper, haven't you seen in those martial arts novels that the humble sweeper monk is usually the most powerful one in the whole temple?" Sun Hang said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding you." Ye Jiu stomped her feet angrily, "Be more fucking serious!"

"Okay, okay." Sun Hang stopped smiling, "I have an idea... There must be a sufficient supply of troops in a place. The only problem is that you need to train them from scratch... But I can guarantee it. , these people will definitely work harder than your current group of subordinates."

"Where?" Ye Jiu asked immediately.

"Refugee resettlement camps on the outskirts of the city." Sun Hang said, "They are filled with young people who have lost their loved ones and are displaced. They carry fear and hatred of strange things in their hearts, and are full of pessimism and confusion about the future... If you run there at this time Tell them, give them a chance to take revenge on the monster, and also have the opportunity to join a legendary organization like Tianshu Tower... What do you think they will do?"

"Hiss..." Ye Jiu couldn't help but take a breath, "What you said seems to make sense...it's just a matter of training..."

"The comprehensive talent training base will be built soon. At that time, you can let them perform some simple tasks while taking time to come to the base to receive systematic training... Believe me, the best soldiers are trained through actual combat."

"There is another half to this sentence." Zhulong said, "Those soldiers who failed to pass actual combat training should be dead."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of death, there is one more thing." Sun Hang patted Ye Jiu on the shoulder, "If those orphans who have no relatives die, you can save a lot of pensions."

"My God...how did your thirty-seven-degree mouth say such cold words?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Sun Hang with some astonishment.

"Because that's how you treated me when I just woke up." Sun Hang said expressionlessly, "Whether it's a war between people or a war between people and monsters, human life is just a matter of time." A kind of consumable... Or to put it another way, human life is a kind of currency. Only by careful calculation and making good use of every decision-maker can the balance of victory gradually tilt toward oneself. "

"That's right." Zhulong nodded and said seriously, "Even we are the same, but our face value is a little higher than ordinary people."

…

…

Tianfu City, west of the city, Refugee Resettlement Camp No. 6.

Among a bunch of blue and yellow tents with disaster relief words printed on them, an unkempt middle-aged woman and a few children walked sneakily. They carefully avoided the city defense guards patrolling the outside of the camp, and then bypassed them. Two central heating towers that were being watched trotted into the ruins not far from the camp.

This ruins used to be an old community built ninety years ago. During the Longyan Barrier Incident, the buildings that had long exceeded their service life collapsed like paper models... Fortunately, Before the community turned into rubble, most of the residents in the community had evacuated to the open space outside, and only a few unlucky or incompetent people were buried in the ruins.

The middle-aged woman did not wander around in the ruins, but walked quickly towards the pile of rubble with a clear goal. She picked up a tile from the ground and dug into the pile of rubble.

Soon, she dug out a bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from the ruins.

The middle-aged woman chanted "sin, sin, sin" in her mouth, while holding the statue out with both hands, placing it upright on the ground, bowing her head.

Several of her children stood not far away, staring blankly at their mother's behavior.

"What are you doing standing still? Come quickly and worship Guanyin Bodhisattva!" The middle-aged woman turned her head and said to the children in a stern tone, "You old men haven't woken up in almost a month. You must have offended the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Come! Come quickly and kowtow to the Bodhisattva and pray for his blessings..."

The middle-aged woman did not notice that the oldest boy did not come to kneel down with his younger brothers and sisters. Instead, he lowered his head and sneaked behind another pile of rubble to rummage - his purpose was very clear: food, clothes and pants. Every time he found shoes, socks, and other daily necessities that seemed to be usable, he would carefully sweep away the dust on them, and then stuff them into the woven bag tied around his waist.

"Your mother and younger brothers and sisters are all worshiping the Bodhisattva. Why don't you go and worship together?" A pleasant female voice suddenly came from the head. The boy was so excited that he immediately raised his head.

He held his breath for a moment.

He has never seen such a beautiful woman since he was born.

Even the stars on TV can't compare to this woman sitting on top of the ruins.

Her long snow-white hair and equally snow-white skin were like a bright moon emitting light fluorescence under the night sky, completely unlike anything that should be in the human world.

"Why don't you come over and worship together?" the woman asked again, her voice as clear and clear as a wind chime, "Or are you saying that you don't believe in gods and Buddhas?"

"I...I don't believe it." The boy took a deep breath and replied.

"But your mother seems to be convinced of this." The woman asked again, "Look, her hands are bleeding trying to dig out the statue."

"If gods and Buddhas really exist in this world, how could they make my family suffer such a disaster...and how could they make those people die inexplicably?! Why has the world become such a terrible state now? , but they don’t even bother to take care of it?”

The more the boy spoke, the angrier he became, and his dirty fists could not help but clenched: "If asking for blessings from Bodhisattva can help, why does my mother recite Buddha's name every day, but the sky is not bright?! Why can't my dad wake up? ?”

"Have you ever thought about a question, why do gods and Buddhas have to bless mortals?" The woman's eyes moved from the boy to the ants crawling by his feet, and her red lips opened slightly, "The life and death of mortals has nothing to do with gods. What does Buddha do?”

The boy was stunned. He stared at this woman who was as beautiful as the bright moon, and murmured repeatedly: "The life and death of mortals has nothing to do with gods and Buddhas..."
