Longmen Memoirs

He frowned slightly.

"I know the situation and the opinions of the Sakaz people, but it's even... worse than I imagined." She found a slightly less vitriolic word.

This place is already Black Steel International, a top security company in Colombia, but with Black Steel as Sakaz's Shock, the situation is not that good.

Sakaz is notorious in people's eyes for being deceitful, cunning, cruel, and tyrannical. After all, Black Steel is a company composed of people, and no one is willing to take risks for the sake of shock.

Is the world in trouble?It's just a matter of being wise and protecting yourself.

Mercenaries know best what the risks mean.

To a certain extent, Sakaz makes people more resistant and suspicious than the infected. No matter how gentle and courteous he behaves, people don't mind using the greatest malice to describe a person who has never met or is a stranger but is full of notoriety. people.

People would rather believe that people with such reputations are bad people than good people. However, most Sakaz from the outside world have lived up to their trust.

If this is a mistake, there seems to be no way to correct it.

"There are many Sakaz people who would rather leave Kazdel and go into exile than stay. Some are worse than this, and some are doing well. Not all Sakaz have the ability to protect themselves." Chen Mo sighed, listening to There was a sound from behind: "He is already very lucky."

"You call this luck?" Crow asked, seeming to have thought of something, "Speaking of Kazdaele, you..."

"I worked as a mercenary there for two years, my first field mission." Chen Mo said, "So, he is really lucky, at least he can enter Black Steel International."

She was not forced to participate in any horrifying biological experiments because of her bloodline and extraordinary adaptability to the Origin Stone, just like the girl Chen Mo saw under the Rhine Life Underground who was covered in Origin Stone lesions and erosion.

Sometimes being weak and not talented is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is definitely not a good thing.

They have long given up any hope in Kazdaele, and would rather live a miserable wandering life, struggling to survive despite being looked down upon, than return to their hometown that made them despair.

Another seemingly self-inflicted evil.

The conversation stopped there.

Zhenfeng, who was wearing a black robe and a hood, came out of the door with the dark staff. Chen Mo said no, they already had bodyguards, and he went back again.

Crow said nothing, he didn't have any objections to being a bodyguard.

The oil lamp was extinguished, and the short magician wore a black steel uniform under his black robe. The shadow of the hood covered the prominent Sakaz horns on his head and most of his face. However, it was difficult to associate Sakaz with his tail alone.

He lowered his head, carefully hung up the lock on the iron door, and stood quietly behind Crow Crow and Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked at the two people beside him and remembered that there were two more.

"It seems we need a car, and I happen to have one, albeit a temporary one."

He probably finally understood the meaning of Siman's words.

[I don’t understand what the headquarters is thinking about, but it may take some effort for you to be the captain of this team. 】

Take a look, who are the people in the team now.

Two infected people, one Sakaz, and two others who have not been seen yet, but think about the Ursus who did not get along well in Black Steel and Colombia, and one who is very likely to have participated in the biological modification surgery. Quasi-infected persons.

Siman's advice and disapproval are sincere, and Crow's concerns are also justified.

Now, Chen Mo is lucky enough to be the leader of this group of weirdos and wretches.

Chapter 41 Sargon's Strange Team, Grizzly Bear

Sakaz, wrapped in a black robe, sat quietly in the back seat of the carriage, with a large Ursus man sitting next to him. Comparing the two of them, the thin magician looked like a half-grown child.

He is a grizzly bear, an Ursus, a heavy shield guard, or a coolie.

He is the most ordinary guy among the team members that Chen Mo has come into contact with so far, and he is also a weirdo. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Mo to still smile and want to join when Chen Mo made it clear that he had two infected people and a Sarkaz in the team. in.

Considering the Ursus Empire's extremely strict laws against infected people and the great-power chauvinism attitude shown by most citizens towards other races, as an immigrant from Ursus, a former Ursus national and even a suspected military relative, he should not behave So abnormal.

"Infected? I know, but it doesn't matter. You are the captain, I listen to you."

The grizzly bear sitting opposite looked extremely sincere.

"That's it?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. His eyes met with the crow's, then fell on the big man in front of him, and he coughed lightly.

"I think I have to make it clear to you in advance. Considering your identity as an Ursusian before coming, we have actually made plans for you to refuse. It is understandable that we are more or less aware of the situation in Ursus. , but your current performance...can I know the reason?"

"Captain, don't you trust me?" Grizzly asked. His tall figure can indeed bring some pressure to people. Even if he is sitting down, the exposed arm muscles under his short sleeves make it difficult for people to ignore his strength.

"It's not that I'm not worried." Chen Mo said something that he himself didn't believe: "I believe that every operator of Black Steel, as teammates and partners, each of them is a reliable and solid companion, but you also know that after all, we Our team is very special. Crow and I are infected, and you are probably the only slightly normal operator among us. I am afraid that you will not adapt to it after coming in. I will not stop you from leaving, but our team will also be affected by this. Having lost an important combat unit, as the captain, I have to be responsible for the future of this team, for you, and for every team member."

He looked at the grizzly bear in front of him and spoke sincerely.

"...can you understand?"

Chen Mo's words were serious and thoughtful. He didn't notice the crow's movements behind him. Fortunately, she didn't stand up to undermine him. As for the magician, most of the time he wouldn't express his opinion.

"I can understand, I can understand." Grizzly answered quickly, without any doubt: "Captain, you are a good person."

"Yeah, I'm actually very easy to get along with." Chen Mo said kindly.

The strong man in front of him looked like he was easy to deceive. I don't know if it was true or not. Maybe he just followed his words on purpose.

"Then tell me your reasons."

"This... reason is not difficult to explain." Grizzly Bear hesitated and sighed: "This is related to my family's decision to immigrate to Colombia from Ursus. Captain, you can probably see it. Unlike the people in Ursus you have in mind, I have no prejudice against infected people. There are many people in Ursus who sympathize with the plight of infected people like me and are concerned about their plight. My family is one of these people. Because of my sympathy for the infected, I was affected by the great riots more than 20 years ago when I was a child, so I later immigrated to Colombia. But I didn’t expect that Colombia was the same. Maybe it is the same everywhere, but It looks better.”

"I can't do anything to help the infected. At least, I don't think I should treat them as another kind of living thing, because maybe one day if I become an infected person unfortunately, I don't want to be treated that way."

Chen Mo's eyes moved. Crow didn't speak, but his eyes were no longer casual.

They all knew that maybe they had met a rare and wonderful person.

"Aren't you afraid of being infected with Originium Disease if you come into contact with us?"

"I'm a little worried," he said, shaking his head. "I have learned specifically, Captain, that if you come into daily contact with non-deeply infected people, the chance of infection is very low."

"Grizzly Bear, I really hope you can join us. Your profile shows that you are a very good operator, and it is indeed true now. I have no reason to reject you because you have no prejudice against infected people. I don't know what will happen next. I have to find a suitable person somewhere else." Chen Mo said, looking at the Grizzly Bear looking into his eyes: "Unfortunately, I still suggest you choose another team and think about it carefully, our team is not suitable for you. .”

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared."

"That's not the reason." Chen Mo said.

"Then...why?" He lowered his head slightly, with visible disappointment on his face, and clenched the palms on his legs tightly.

The crow's words suddenly sounded.

"He said it was a suggestion." It was like a reminder.

The grizzly bear suddenly raised his head and looked at the crow.

"Don't look at me, I can't make the decision." Crow, who crossed his arms, said calmly. The index finger on his arm pointed at Chen Mo, and then his eyes fell on Chen Mo again.

"So, Captain, you didn't refuse."

There seemed to be pleading in his eyes. This should not be the look of a person who sympathizes with the infected, nor should it be like what he said before. He just didn't want to be treated differently when he became an infected person one day. Maybe There is a reason for this, but it is not the main reason.

"The appointment is issued by the headquarters. I can appeal and have no right to reject you." Chen Mo said. "But before that, I want to hear your true thoughts. You may really be a sympathizer for the infected, but Grizzly Bear, we have no reason for you to want to stay so much."

"The reason is not simple..."

Crow's words followed closely. He walked to Chen Mo and said slowly: "If I hadn't guessed, you and the one-eyed wolf should know each other, right?"

The grizzly bear fell silent, with Chen Mo's most familiar expression on his face. He had seen the same emotion in Chen Mo when he was a child. After a few seconds, the grizzly bear nodded.

"Yes, we know each other. He used to be my teammate and my friend."

The story of the grizzly bear is not long and very ordinary.

He applied for Sargon himself, and he also applied for this team. It was different from what Chen Mo and Crow had imagined before. Although he was an immigrant from Ursus, due to his gentle personality and reliable ability, Grizzly Bear and his Teammates have always gotten along well.

He is the heavy equipment of the team, just like in many common storylines. During a mission to rescue hostages outside the city, their actions went awry. The other party was an extremist organization composed of a small number of infected people. A bomb containing fragments of the Originium mine was placed in the building. One-eyed wolf, the sniper of the team, was the first to react. He saved the entire team. The grizzly bear's large shield blocked the aftermath of the fragments. But the fragments from the bomb explosion took away one of the sniper's eyes and infected him with the Source Stone.

The grizzly bear always believed that it was his responsibility. The tall Ursus man told this story in a dull voice. He said that if he had reacted faster and blocked the one-eyed wolf, all this would not have happened. will happen.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mo quietly, as if waiting for Chen Mo's decision.

"As I said just now, if you decide, I have no reason to refuse." Chen Mo stretched out his hand: "You are welcome to join, Grizzly Bear."

A simple and honest smile appeared on Grizzly's face, and he held Chen Mo's hand.

He is indeed the only normal person in the team, and he is not normal, because few people will blame the entire team's failure on themselves.

It was an accident, he could think so, and he didn't do anything wrong. After all, the mercenary should have been mentally prepared for this. He had no reason to risk his future and life because of it. He also had reason to do it for his friends and the feelings in his heart. Guilt came to Sargon.

"how do you feel?"

After walking out of Grizzly Bear's residence, Crow looked at Chen Mo who was a few steps ahead and suddenly spoke.

"Are you asking me what I thought after reading it? I haven't written anything like that for a long time." Chen Mo answered as he opened the car door.

Now he is better at writing mission reports.

"After reading it? What is that?"

"A kind of useless and time-wasting composition in Longmen School. Don't ask me what composition is."

"I thought you would enlighten him a little bit. It's quite a touching story, isn't it?"

_【*%

"Yes, it's touching. If what I, a stranger who has just met for less than 10 minutes, said is useful, I will be happy to expend some words to drive this new subordinate who is firm and reliable back, and then wait for the headquarters to give me some time. Find a suitable person."

"It's so frank, don't hide it." Wu Ya opened the passenger door and sat next to Chen Mo.

"There is nothing to hide, he is very suitable, and the reason is sufficient." Chen Mo said, looking at the position of the stairs outside the car window, the figure of the grizzly bear gradually approached, Chen Mo waved, and continued: "I'm just not good at lying. "

"Maybe he didn't even think about hiding it."

"His purpose is very obvious. I used to know a guy who was similar to him. He was also an Ursus, but the difference is that that person was much smarter than him."

Chen Mo's tone contained some indescribable nostalgia, and Crow couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

"Your friend?"

"Old friend."

"Is this why you suggested he leave?" Crow raised his head and leaned on the car seat: "Are you really not optimistic about him joining us or are you just pretending to know the reason."

"Of course it's true. Would it be good for him to join us?"

"That's right. It won't do him any good to get involved with a team like ours. It seems like you're a pretty good captain."

Grizzly opened the car door and got into the back seat. Shockwave leaned aside. Chen Mo glanced at the big man in the rearview mirror and started the car.

"What happened next?" Crow asked again.

"what?"

"Your friend."

The wheels turned, and the engine vibrated slightly and hummed, along with Chen Mo's answer.

"I haven't seen him since."

Chapter 42 My days of deception and abduction in Sargon began

The man in front of him is thin and tall, only about 1.7 meters tall. He has obvious characteristics of the Felin tribe. The pointed ears on his head are shorter than those of the crows from which Luper was born. Behind him is a slender black tail, covered with wood. The chair blocks it.

His face was gloomy, his expression was arrogant, his fingers were clasping the wine glass, his eyes were misty, he looked slightly drunk, his mouth was not clean, he looked quite stinky, and it almost showed my displeasure on his face.

This is what he looked like 10 minutes ago.

The man's collar was soaked and his gray hair was hanging wetly on his forehead. He looked as embarrassed as a drowned dog. His hands were clasped behind the lamppost. His sober and angry one eye raised his head and stared at Chen Mo standing in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, he said nothing.

All five members of the team were gathered together, but some innocuous accidents were discovered among them, which made the grizzly bear look embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

The crow still looked like he had nothing to do with his hands, and the taciturn magician was the farthest away. He was not very good at dealing with his new teammates.

"Awake?"

They looked like a group of thieves who came out at night and robbed homes. At least they were not good people.

"Who are you?"

"Your new teammate, to be precise, I am your captain now, my name is Snake." Chen Mo said: "In view of your extreme behavior just now, I have to take some unfriendly measures."

His so-called method was to grab this drunk guy by the collar, drag him to the bathroom at the back of the tavern and press him into the sink to force him to sober up.

"Now it seems to be working very well."

"Captain, are you kidding! I don't remember that I have any captain." The other side yelled loudly, and the street lamp shook slightly as he tried to struggle.
