Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is somewhat difficult Author: Dongfang Xianrenjia

In a wasteland world overturned by natural disasters, the surviving human civilization huddled in a corner and breathed for hundreds of years.

Faced with a heavily polluted harsh environment, powerful mutated creatures, raging walking dead, and those mysterious witches...

What should the mercenary who inexplicably turned into a beautiful girl do?

Volume [-] JD Abandoned City Chapter

Prelude to the beginning of the prologue

The dim sky is filled with endless thick clouds, and the air is filled with pungent sourness. This makes every breath you take here feel like several active steel needles are being inhaled from the trachea into the lungs. An annoying tingling sensation occupies every corner of the respiratory system, and even the latest respirator masks cannot stop the invasion of this feeling.

This is area number K/JD/W/02, which belongs to the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland...

Like all abandoned cities and nuclear wastelands, no humans have settled here for more than 100 years. This city had already died under the double blow of nuclear weapons and viruses more than 100 years ago, leaving only cold steel and concrete. The constructed remains allow the surviving humans to imagine the prosperity of the pre-war world from time to time in this cruel era.

As for the so-called 'residents' who stayed in this city... they are no longer human beings, and it is even difficult to include them in the category of living things. The rotting zombies act and prey against the common sense of living things, and they are just like the only existence. Like the undead in imagination, they wreak havoc on the world.

"call……"

Taking off his goggles and rubbing his sore eyes, Hiiragi looked away from the scope. Opening his eyes for a long time made his eyes a little dry. The eye drops to relieve eye dryness were in his pocket, but they were relatively small. There was one more important thing he needed to do than his eyes.

He took a deep breath and held it in his chest, then stretched out his left hand away from the gun butt and unscrewed the canister of the gas mask, threw it into the shoulder bag on his waist, and then took out one from the compartment of the shoulder bag. Replace the new canister with the previous position...tighten it!

A series of movements were performed smoothly and skillfully, and they only took a few seconds. Hiiragi never used his sight. He was still staring at the surveillance area ahead through the sniper scope attached to the gun, using only his hands. Feeling muscle memory does it all.

These are just one of the necessary skills for a mercenary who has been walking in dangerous areas all year round. Once he is familiar with the rules of action in nuclear waste zones, and successfully completes several operations alive, he will naturally be able to do so.

As his chest relaxed and rose, Hiiragi breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that the canister had not leaked, he resumed his normal breathing rhythm. This was what he had replaced since entering this nuclear wasteland. It was the fourth canister, which gave him an unreal illusion. After all, he would never have dared to think of such a lavish consumption before.

Although the canister is the basic equipment for operations in nuclear waste areas and is not too expensive in terms of price, it cannot withstand consumption. According to his breathing frequency, the use time of each canister is limited to about one hour. If When encountering a battle that causes the breathing rate to increase, the time limit of use will only be shorter. The cost of such consumables will add up to a considerable amount in the end.

The reason that allowed him to breathe so openly at this moment was that these canisters were not purchased with his own money, but were distributed free of charge by the government's logistics equipment department of the Human Base in Newborn City.

Not only gadgets such as canisters and gas masks, for this operation, the Newborn City base government also secured a series of other supplies, including not limited to combat vests, uncontaminated food and water, various types of Weapons and ammunition, etc.

The benefits are not only that, but the down payment of the sight of the Newborn City is also an extremely attractive figure. Therefore, almost all the mercenaries around the Newborn City, large and small, are involved in the combat operations. The government of the Newborn City base is also such a big deal. It was only seen once during the battle to retake the industrial area two years ago.

Just as Hiiragi breathed in the non-toxic air brought by the filter tank and sighed in her heart about the generosity of the newborn city, a burst of noisy snowflake noise suddenly sounded from the radio that had been dead for a long time, followed by a half-destructed signal filtered by a weak signal. A vague human voice reaches my ears through the headphones.

"This is the Area 02 Operations Department. The No. 02 Surveillance Team of Area 13 is reporting the situation. Over."

"Receipt from Area 02 No. 13 Surveillance Team. This is surveillance team member No. [-], Hiiragi Jing. The current situation is normal. Repeat, the current situation is normal. It's over." Hiiragi reported truthfully, and soon after getting the results, the wireless earphones again Reduced to endless silence, Hiiragi continued to carry out his surveillance mission.

He is located on the rooftop of a ten-story office building with a relatively complete structure. The view here is wide and the entire surveillance area can be included in the line of sight. There is relatively little pollution from high-rise buildings, making it the most ideal surveillance point in this area.

The area he was monitoring was a square below covering an area of ​​more than 4 square meters. I heard that this was once a public place for human leisure activities or events in the civilized era, but now it has long lost its original purpose. The effect has become a restricted area of ​​life that no one dares to set foot in.

It is difficult to find a complete piece of slate bricks paved on the ground. The wildly growing vegetation is no longer limited to flower beds and lawns, but has expanded their living environment to every crack in the square. The entire square looks more like A wilderness.

The facilities used for fitness and entertainment have long become scrap metal on the edge of the square.The four large LED display screens standing in the center of the square all collapsed, and the broken screens exposed countless wire tubes and parts.

Those are the high-value recyclables that the scavengers in the nuclear wasteland most desire. The three available precision parts are enough to pay for their meals for a day, but the cost of traveling through this dangerous forbidden land is the price of life. , even mercenaries dare not step in rashly, let alone scavengers who make a living by picking up rags and have trouble dealing with even the most basic walking corpses.

"Wild Dog, how's the situation?"

At this moment, there was the creaking sound of the rotten iron door being opened behind him, which drew all his attention back from the mission area in the scope. The steady and iconic sound of military boots made people know it as soon as they heard it. The identity of the visitor.

Luo Shi, a member of the Security Team of the Standing Combat Army of Newborn City, with the rank of captain, is different from him as a mercenary. He has the status of a regular army and is also a member of the security team. Luo Shi does not need to worry about the shortage of combat supplies. The Logistics Department Even if you tighten your belt, you can't starve these security team members.

Different from Hiiragi's half-face gas mask, it is a new and more advanced model of gas mask distributed to members of the security team. It combines the advantages of full-face and half-face. The protective mask can be disassembled at any time as needed to cope with operations in different environments. needs.

Under the mask stained with nuclear dust, the contempt in his eyes flashed away. This was not an arrogance to deliberately highlight his status, but the unique arrogance of being the most elite combat force in the newly born city.

Even though Hiiragi himself is well-known in the mercenary world, a mercenary is a mercenary, and he is just an ordinary soldier at this moment, no matter who he is at this moment.

"Nothing...happened."

He immediately stood up from his lying position and raised his hands in salute. These were just out of courtesy.

The other party's name and demeanor made Hiiragi curl her lips in disdain. The other party couldn't see this under the protection of goggles and gas masks.

This title does not belong to Hiiragi alone, but is a contemptuous title given to all mercenaries by all regular armies.

In the eyes of these regular troops, there is really no difference between mercenaries and scavengers. They wear rags and go to dangerous areas to complete one task after another driven by rewards. They are cunning, humble, and unscrupulous. Like most classes, they survive. In the lower levels of the Newborn City, struggling on the edge of life and death, all they wanted was for a bite of food tomorrow.

The image of Hiiragi Jing undoubtedly strengthened Luo Shi's thoughts. A 15-year-old boy, a long period of malnutrition in his childhood made him short and thin. His stooped back never seemed to be straight, and he often carried The goggles and gas mask made it impossible to see his true appearance.

There are no fangs or sharp claws. Compared with "wild dog", Luo Shi actually calls Hiiragi Jing "rat". The survival rate of such people is not high. They are just consumables for the next war. They seem to have no influence on the next battle. Useless.

"Watch your tone..."

The disrespect in Hiiragi's words made him frown deeply. He took two long steps forward and stood in front of Hiiragi. His height advantage allowed him to look down at Hiiragi, and a deep voice came from his throat. Bringing out an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Faced with such oppression, Hiiragi didn't reply, but just lowered his head slightly. It seemed that he couldn't give in due to Luo Shi's pressure.

But in fact, the purpose of doing this was to give his eyes hidden behind the goggles a better perspective to see the movements of Luo Shi's hands. At the same time, he had quietly hidden his hands behind his back and touched the hand hanging on his waist. dagger.

Hiiragi has never been an impulsive person, but complete preparation is never too much in this era. If Luo Shi does anything that endangers his life, he doesn't mind striking first.

At this moment, the radio that had just finished communicating suddenly heard the sound of snowflakes again, followed by an urgent command from another channel: "This is the combat headquarters! Attention all combat units! The target has appeared! Location: Street 07B, District K/JD/W/22! Monitors along the way report target information on the public channel at any time! Repeat..."

The sudden emergency diverted Luo Shi's attention, and Hiiragi quietly let go of the hand holding the dagger and dropped it to her waist.

"Hmph, go back to your combat post...No. [-]."

With a cold snort, Luo Shi turned around and left the rooftop. Hiiragi thought about Luo Shi's name just now and then put the gun back in place.

Luo Shi did not dare to delay the battle plan. This was natural. The Newborn City had already consumed too much for this battle. It was not just mercenaries and security teams who participated in the battle this time. The Newborn City also mobilized four standing combat brigades. Three of them, such a large effort shows that the base government attaches great importance to this battle.

If anything goes wrong in any link, a mere captain of the security team in Luo Shi cannot bear such responsibility.

Naturally, it is not easy for the newborn city to mobilize such a huge manpower and material resources to carry out the combat goal. It is a very threatening existence. Human beings know very little about it, and the pitiful information cannot even be written on a few pages.

They are neither mutant beasts created by viruses nor mutants contaminated by radiation. They are completely different from those deformed and ugly monsters. Their images are all human girls in their teens, and they even have a mesmerizingly beautiful appearance. And an intelligence that is not weaker than that of humans, theoretically speaking, it is an existence that can talk to it.

However, beneath the beautiful and delicate appearance, what is hidden is an extremely terrifying power and cruel heart. Whether humans or monsters, these are just their prey.

Such unstable and dangerous factors were discovered near the Newborn City. Naturally, the entire Newborn City felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and the opponent's long-term wandering also made the base government, which felt threatened, make up its mind and formulate this huge battle plan, at all costs. Conduct crusade in a nuclear wasteland known as the Forbidden Land.

"This is the combat headquarters! Target confirmed, identity witch, code: CS1310921002, codename Tyrant, danger assessment level: A level..."

"All units enter combat status and the battle officially begins!"

Prelude to the beginning of the prologue

"This is the Sixth Surveillance Team of Area 06. The target has been found and is conducting surveillance... The target is moving due south. All units in Area 04 should pay attention..."

"This is the No. 04 surveillance team in Area 15C. They have discovered the target and are conducting surveillance... The target is moving due south. All units in Area 03 should pay attention..."

……

As the target moved, the radio continued to transmit information reported by the operations departments in charge of each region. Hiiragi's eyes fell on a hand-drawn map in his hand that was full of creases and yellowing pages. According to the information from the radio, he You can roughly see the trajectory of the target.

The witch codenamed "Tyrant" is heading towards Area 01A, the center of the JD Abandoned City nuclear waste zone, in the shortest possible distance.

This battle plan was confirmed based on this information.

According to the base government's long-term tracking and observation, this is the tyrant's movement track that has been repeated dozens of times in the past month. He walks on the same path every day, staying in the central area for a while, or after walking around in a circle. Then leave the same way.

No one knows why the tyrant follows such a regular trajectory, but according to speculation, there seems to be something attracting the tyrant in Area 01A of the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland. His daily appearance seems to be an act of patrolling the territory. , only to leave after repeated confirmations, only to reappear the next day.

And this kind of pattern of action has also greatly aroused the strong curiosity of the researchers in the Newborn City. What kind of unknown existence can make the witch "tyrant" pay so much attention to it?

In order to launch this war, the research institute's contribution is not small. This is also the second reason why the Newborn City base government launched this war. To find out what exactly exists in the dangerous JD Abandoned City Nuclear Waste Area 01A, and to To achieve this goal, eliminating the "tyrant" has become an imperative prerequisite.

The whole process of this plan is actually very simple. An ambush point is set up in Area 01C of the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland, which is the route the tyrant is about to pass, and the tyrant is completely wiped out here - Central Park.

According to the target's traveling speed, it was time to reach them next. He carefully placed the map number in the inner pocket of his clothes. Sure enough, not long after, the next message came from the earphones.

"This is the fourth surveillance team in Area 02. We found that the target has entered Area 02 and are conducting surveillance..."

Hearing the news, Hiiragi couldn't help but tense up. Area 02 was exactly where he was, just a block across from the square. Surveillance Team No. [-] was not far from his location. After he finished his report, he could not help but tense up. When it was his turn, Hiiragi immediately turned his sights to the northeast street entrance, which was the only way for the witch tyrant to enter his surveillance area, and he would also transmit the target information to the radio just like the surveillance team just now. .

The witch "Tyrant" has been recorded in many human base cities. Hiiragi has only heard about the deeds of this witch but has not actually seen it. However, the A-level danger assessment alone is worthy of his all-out efforts. , not to mention those appalling deeds, killing no less than double digits of B-level and above monsters, destroying as many as eleven human strongholds in his hands, and the blood stained on his hands, whether monsters or humans...

"Wait! She stopped!"

At this moment, the voice that had not paused for long sounded again, and this time, the message conveyed in the earphones was not the report of the next surveillance team that was supposed to be their turn.

It was still the same person from before, the communications soldier of Surveillance Team No. [-], but this time the content of the message had changed. There was doubt and uneasiness in his voice that could not be filtered out even if the headphones were damaged.

stopped?

Hiiragi's eyes slightly shifted the scope, looking at the distant block blocked by the buildings. In that direction, an extremely dangerous target stopped moving. This sudden change caused all combatants in the entire nuclear wasteland to They all held their breath together. The clouds above their heads became thicker, as if they wanted to gradually peel away the last bit of weak light that penetrated the clouds. Everyone also followed the sound of increasingly rapid breathing coming from the radio. The cold abyss.

"Damn it! She looked over! We were discovered! She... came over! So fast..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound from the radio suddenly stopped, and all that came out was the endless noise of snowflakes.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of gunshots came from the other end of the block, instantly shattering the peace over the nuclear wasteland of JD Abandoned City.

Hiiragi suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gunfire, but his sight was blocked by layers of building debris. It could be heard that the gunfire was messy and fierce, without any regard for seriously damaging the life of firearm parts and possibly causing bullet cases to jam. An accidental pull of the trigger is a mistake that no experienced fighter would make.

There are only two possibilities for this kind of thing to happen. One is that you lose your calm self-control when facing extreme danger. The second is that the target is moving very fast, which is a speed that non-sustained firepower cannot suppress.

The gunshots over there lasted less than half a minute and then stopped suddenly along with the sound on the radio. It seemed that the gunshots just now were like an illusion, and the endless silence filled the vacancy that was torn apart by the gunfire just now.

In the end what happened?

No one told him, but he was certain that the result would not be optimistic. The A+ level danger caused by countless deaths would never be wiped out by the firepower of five people.There is only one obvious result: in that short half-minute, the No. 02 surveillance team in Area [-] was completely wiped out.

In the end what happened?What's the status of the target?What is the battle process like?There were so many unknowns that made Hiiragi feel chilly in his heart. Not only him, but all the combat personnel were extremely overwhelmed by this unexpected situation. The exposure of the No. 02 Surveillance Team in Area [-] was too sudden. It was obvious that every combat team The team's pre-selected locations are guaranteed to be at a safe distance from the target, so why would something like this happen?

"Attention all units, the combat plan has been changed urgently, and all combat teams in Area 02 are taking orders!"

The combat headquarters did not let such silence last too long, and the wireless electronics immediately transmitted a remedy plan for the current situation.

"All combat teams in Area 02 form a induction team and must lead the target to the predetermined annihilation location. Each unit of the combat team in Area 03 takes over the blocking task of the combat team in Area 02! Everyone moves forward with one unit centered on Area 01A of JD City to compress the encirclement Net! Execute immediately! Complete!"

Hiiragi frowned, the development of the matter was not simple.

Inducing the team?Such a high-risk combat mission was not mentioned in the employment contract at all, and the employment fee would have to be paid separately.

At this time, Luo Shi, who had left and returned, had also arrived outside the door. When he saw Hiiragi still lying on the ground with a gun and indifferent to the radio orders, he immediately shouted angrily: "No. [-]! Prepare to execute immediately Task!"

"Captain Luo Shi." Hiei Jing chased after him lazily, and his lazy voice came out from under the A1 gas mask, "My employment contract with the military does not include "responding to emergencies as a high-risk mission." Within the scope of the execution clause, I only perform the tasks stipulated in the employment contract. This operation needs to be classified as another combat task and is not included in the previous tasks, but if Captain Ross is interested... …How about we negotiate a new terms of employment?”

"you……"

Under the gas mask, Luo Shi's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged from under his skin due to congestion. He didn't expect that this wild dog would rip him off at this time. If it wasn't for the mission, he would have to pull it out immediately. The gun killed him, but he still took a deep breath to suppress the rising anger. He was the captain of the team. As the captain, the top priority should be the mission, not getting angry with a wild dog.

"Hmph! Take it!"

After a slight hesitation, Luo Shi reached out and took out something from his pocket and threw it over. Hiiragi immediately raised his hand to catch it. The shape of the cylinder and the cold touch of the plexiglass made Hiiragi slightly stunned. Could it be...

When he wiped his goggles and looked at the thing in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a trace of incredible surprise when his sight was confirmed. He saw a needleless needle as thick as an index finger lying quietly in his hand. Judging from the scale, the syringe is a standard 5ml dose disposable needle-free syringe. Under the transparent organic glass is a liquid like mercury, but it is more transparent and clear. At first glance, it seems to have countless small particles flowing in it, but if you look carefully Looking at it, I found that there was nothing in the transparent liquid.

Of course, the mysterious liquid in it was not Hiiragi's focus. His eyes focused on the number on the syringe - XI-101-A01-133-726.

If I remember correctly, the official name of this potion is "General System Primary Activation Potion". Of course, Hiiragi Jing is more accustomed to using the most common common name among the people: primary enhancement potion.

This is good stuff!After weighing it in his hand for a few times, Hiei Jing's eyes shone slightly. Although there were risks and side effects, there was nothing to worry about as the most important thing was to save his life.

Even for the standing combat army, only veterans with more than three years of experience will be issued each time they perform a mission, and even the security team does not have many.

Mercenaries like them can only be bought at high prices on the black market. Most of them are black goods whose codes have been erased in order to avoid being traced by the al-Qaeda government. In this way, the hidden dangers of black goods become extremely great. If it exceeds The validity period of three years has expired. Apart from the appearance, the effect of the medicine is no different from ordinary saline. According to the code 133, we can know that this medicine was produced last year and is relatively new.

As for the effect of the medicine, just as the name literally means, the effect of this injection is to enhance various functions of the human body in a short period of time to gain stronger combat effectiveness in battle. Even if it is injected in the case of serious injury, it can also have an effect. It can quickly stop bleeding, promote wound healing, and return the body to its best condition in a short time. The price of injection is the long period of weakness caused by overdrafting body functions.

Hiiragi Jing had the experience of using it once and escaped death with the help of the medicine. Hiiragi Jing knew the value of this kind of life-saving thing.He really didn't expect that Luo Shi would actually take out such a thing as a reward for this mission in his personal capacity. This made Hiiragi couldn't help but have a slightly different view of Luo Shi. Although his arrogant personality was disgusting, the occupation of a soldier was There are still a lot more than the ingredients.

Is it worth carrying out this high-risk mission for a tube of potion?After weighing it for a while, Hiiragi immediately made a decision.

"make a deal."

Not only for the potion, but also for a better life in Newborn City. After all, the other party is also a member of the security team. If he offends him, his life will be difficult in the future.

Hiiragi accepted the potion, which meant that he chose to accept it. Since it was not his style to procrastinate like this, he turned around and put the carrying bag on his back, and quickly installed a side red dot sight on the gun in his hand. The ensuing battle was extremely Dangerous, the magnifying scope will no longer be suitable for the changed battlefield environment.

"No. [-]! Gather downstairs quickly!"

It seemed that it was because of being given a small amount of money. Luo Shi's tone was very irritable. He turned around and left without wanting to stay here for a moment. Hiiragi Jing didn't care about this. He was just an ordinary mercenary, performing tasks. , collecting rewards is common sense and will not change at any time.

The witch tyrant... took a deep breath and took a step forward. This was the first time he faced an A-level dangerous target. It was impossible not to be nervous. He destroyed a piece of equipment in just ten seconds. The excellent five-man team is enough to prove his strength. Can he survive this battle?
