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

Chapter 46 Intelligence Team’s Transfer Plan

The night gradually faded and the sun had not yet risen. It was the moment when night and day intersected. The sky was still dark but it did not affect the vision too much. The coolness of the evening breeze slightly dissipated some of Wu Kuan's sleepiness, which made Wu Kuan feel sleepy. The bloodshot eyes regained their energy a little. Except for less than an hour's rest, these eyes had been monitoring the distant jungle for a whole night.

Logically speaking, as a commander, he doesn't have to be so hands-on. After all, the intelligence team stationed here have already been divided into three shifts of monitoring teams according to the plan, ensuring that someone is watching the movements there at all times.

It's not that the professionalism of the members of the opponent's intelligence team cannot be trusted, but Wu Kuan has been completely unable to sleep since he was awakened by the explosion last night. Suddenly, a fireball rose into the canopy of the jungle, illuminating half of it. The sky then gradually extinguished, but all those who witnessed it were destined to be unable to calm down their inner emotions like the fireball.

As the highest-ranking member of the intelligence team here, Wu Kuan certainly knew that the existence in the jungle was not a high-risk monster but a witch. Based on the information He Xiaoyu told him and the inspection of the severely damaged vehicle, it was inferred that it was most likely... Then it was caused by the dangerous witch's ability.

The flame... seems to be more than just a flame.

He has heard rumors about witches for a long time. There are countless rumors about how many caravans or human strongholds they have destroyed. Therefore, when he first learned about the existence of a witch among Hiiragi Jing and others, he almost drew his gun. However, after carefully observing Poluk, he felt that it was difficult for her image to coincide with the rumors. In terms of personality, she was no different from an ordinary little human girl. However, such a little girl was fighting with the witch at this moment. .

If valid coordinates can be passed back...

Wu Kuan glanced at the artillery positions behind him. They did not move because of the miscarriage of the ambush plan. Instead, they recalibrated their position and pointed directly at the dense forest. They could not guarantee who would be the final winner between the two witches. , but Fenglin City is the nearest city base from here, and it is also the location of the hub of their intelligence team. The local intelligence team members account for the majority, so they must work hard to defend that city base, even if they cannot be stopped The witch can also buy time for Fenglin City to mobilize its forces to build defenses.

"Look! Someone's coming out!"

In a blink of an eye, Wu Kuan was not the first to discover the abnormal movement of members, but soon someone next to him heard a low cry, which made him immediately notice the change in the direction of the jungle.

They were several hazy figures. Wu Kuan, who noticed this, did not relax. Instead, he issued an order to 'be more vigilant'. They had very little information about the jungle. Who could guarantee that there was only one hostile witch? .

However, as the distance between the two grew closer, Wu Kuan gradually recognized those familiar faces, and he immediately nodded to a few of them and hurried to greet them.

Although the space created by Custer's ability is a good place to rest in the wild, the only drawback is that it is difficult to confirm the time in the outside world, especially after everyone has fallen asleep due to exhaustion. It is not that Custer has not thought about it before. By placing a clock in the room for timing, however, the wall of the room was obviously disordered just after he brought the clock into it, and the constantly distorted space almost collapsed. Fortunately, Custer threw the clock out in time to save it. A room on the verge of collapse.

Obviously, a palm-sized clock has exceeded the capacity of the room, which means that the night is coming to an end when they come out from the break, and the break takes much longer than expected.

Not long after they walked out of the jungle, they saw several figures rushing towards them in front of the road without any scruples. Wu Kuan's appearance was not unexpected. He Xiaoyu had previously asked He Xiaoyu to arrange for the intelligence team to come and blockade the place. Although This road is rarely traveled, otherwise it would not be the path chosen by the convoy coming from the underground facilities, but out of careful consideration, any changes that may lead to accidents must not be allowed to happen.

"The monster was seriously injured and fled deep into the jungle." Hiei Jing spoke first and reported to Wu Kuanhui.

"Monster..." Wu Kuan was stunned and immediately recalled that this was the unified caliber for outsiders. Due to his nervousness, he almost forgot this important point, "Well done..."

As he spoke, he looked at Poluk. Among the people, Poluk's clothes and hair were the messiest. He had obviously experienced a big battle. Recalling the scene last night, Wu Kuan suddenly felt regretful that he could not witness the witch. battle scenes between.

Seeing the focus of the other party's gaze, Hiei Jing couldn't help but glance at Custer. It had to be said that Custer's thinking was really very thorough. The image displayed in front of Wu Kuan was of course the result of Custer's deliberate arrangement.

"By the way, I remember there are not five of you..." After confirming the status of several people, Wu Kuan immediately discovered that there was obviously a missing figure among the girls. That person was naturally Irene. Irene had been missing since she fainted. There are signs of awakening, but the high temperature has dropped somewhat, so Hiiragi Jing and others are not too worried.

"She continues to follow the traces of the monster outside..." Hiiragi Jing said calmly, saying, "Don't worry, we are all people who have received high-intensity military training, and we are very experienced in walking in the wilderness."

Wu Kuan and the two people around him all showed surprised looks. Although they had not fought against the witch last night, they must have been under a lot of pressure. Even so, they still had enough energy to track each other in the jungle. Such strength Could it be that even adults like them find it difficult to do this?

The rumors in these intelligence groups about all the girls receiving implant modifications originally seemed to them to be nonsense... but now it seems that they have a lot of credibility...

"By the way, where is Team Leader He?" The more answers he got, the more mistakes he made. In order to avoid some questions that did not appear in the plan, Hiei Jing took the initiative to ask. Unexpectedly, the question that was originally intended to divert attention got an unexpected surprise. reply.

"Team Leader He is organizing the transfer of the intelligence team and has no time to take care of this for the time being."

"Transfer?"

It seems that something terrible happened to the intelligence team during their time in the jungle...

"Members of a base in a northern city sent back intelligence overnight, showing signs of the mobilization of a large number of spies... According to the team leader's estimate, that's where the spies would pick up the convoy, but the convoy's failure to arrive on time obviously attracted attention. Waiting for this news Reaching the first prince will definitely cause an earthquake..." Wu Kuan frowned and said helplessly, "As long as we start from the place where contact was lost and go against the planned route and continue to search layer by layer, we will soon find Fenglin City. We don't have How long to stay.”

"It takes time to transmit information. Isn't it too hasty to move now?" Hiiragi's question is very reasonable. The spy's analysis of the convoy should be delayed. After all, having such sophisticated weapons and equipment is not casual. Which force can do this easily? If it weren't for the help of the witch and the intelligence team, they would have to pay a heavy price for this ambush.

"Of course not." Wu Kuan smiled and seemed a little confident. "We have already considered this before the ambush planning period. Regardless of whether the ambush succeeds or fails, the intelligence team will definitely not be able to stay in Fenglin City, so we have inspected several locations in advance as bases for rebuilding the intelligence team. "

Wu Kuan did not hesitate to decide on the best location, but said directly: "About 150 kilometers east of Fenglin City, there is a place called Xinkadi Port. That is the territory of Prince Baishan, and he is also the champion. The prince... is also one of the biggest political opponents of the first prince, and that is not a place where spies can mess around."

Prince of White Mountain?

About Ofanto's political map, another force has been added, 150 kilometers... This distance is not very close, especially in the wasteland.

"I understand..." Hiiragi nodded, "So, does Team Leader He have anything else to do? If not, we will continue heading north..."

"To the north?" Wu Kuan's doubts interrupted Higgin Jing's words, "Aren't you going with us?"

"Huh?" This time it was Hiroyuki's turn to be confused, "Isn't that new Caudi to the east? We are not on the same road..."

"Let's go take a boat. Don't you still want to walk across the entire Ofanto?" Wu Kuan didn't have a map in hand and could only pick up a branch and draw a few simple strokes in the soil on the ground. "Take a boat from Xincaodi to the coast. Going north along the coast is just the safest and most convenient way to travel between the north and south of Ofanto.”

"Going to the sea...the ocean?!" Hiei Jing's eyes suddenly lit up when a familiar but unfamiliar name came to her ears. "Is it really the sea? Is it the place where all the salt water is? Isn't it the sea of ​​a large lake?"

Chapter 47 The secret agent’s new trends

Sea - she has heard this word from a long time ago. When Hiiragi first knew the world, those long-ago postcards or pictures in travel brochures always showed the presence of the sea: tourist resorts, sunny beaches... Although they are different beaches, these similar words and titles are indispensable.

Under the sun, the blue ocean rolls up with white waves, and the golden beach is never empty. People build sandcastles, collect shells, play games in the sea, or conquer the waves with surfboards. This kind of use of filters and composition The promotional elements to attract tourists deeply attracted Hiiragi’s attention from the beginning.

Yearning for the life in the pre-war era is a common trait among ordinary people in the wasteland world, and these pictures are one of the most vivid manifestations of pre-war life.

The Southern Federation is not inland. I heard that there is also an ocean to the east. Donglu City, one of the eight major city bases of the Southern Federation, is a city close to the coast. However, due to geographical restrictions and work, Hiiragi Jing has never had the opportunity to see it. Although, she knew very well that the real ocean would no longer be what it was in the pre-war era, but her longing for the ocean had not diminished at all.

The scenes on both sides are retreating a little bit. The sun that was still peeking out from the edge of the mountain has climbed high into the sky, and the outline of Fenglin City has long gone away and disappeared behind the hills. Yes, at this moment, Hiiragi Jing and others have followed the intelligence team and started heading east, and this long journey has become the norm in life since entering Ofanto.

The only good thing is that this time they no longer have to ride on the autonomous people's animal-drawn vehicles. Although they are pieced together from different parts, they are also modern vehicles powered by oil-burning engines, both in terms of speed and comfort. In more ways than one, seeing that the intelligence team had quite a few reserve vehicles, Hiei Jing's guilt for destroying the flat-top vehicle delivered by He Xiaoyu was immediately reduced by more than half.

From the jungle to the town of Vibus, from Vibus town to Fengling City, and now we have to travel more than 100 kilometers from Fengling City to that new Caodi City, and then we have to go to the north, and push forward I will get in touch and look for the airspace ruins to find the truth about the witch.

Although they are getting farther and farther away from the Southern Federation, all of this is an effort to return to the Southern Federation. Regarding Wu Kuan's proposal, Li Jing and others did not hesitate for too long before unanimously agreeing, and they were still lying in the foreign room. Irene was not directly involved.

Facts have proved that the preparations of the intelligence team are indeed sufficient. Shortly after Wu Kuan reported the situation here, a convoy of four vehicles arrived here. According to Wu Kuan, everyone in the city except for the necessary informants left behind. They have already set off, and their team of twenty or so people responsible for monitoring the direction of the jungle is the last group.

Although gathering a large-scale convoy can make the journey much safer, it can also easily attract the attention of spies in the city. Once the wreckage of the convoy is found in the nearby jungle, the spies will definitely start tracking them. Therefore, the intelligence team only You can use the method of leaving the city in batches and then regrouping.

Of course, Hiiragi Jing and others said they could set off at any time, and when Wu Kuan asked about Irene, who they had verbally arranged to track down the monster, he responded with the excuse that "I left my contact information and she will catch up soon." .Although he couldn't help but feel a little worried, Wu Kuan couldn't say anything after seeing Hiiragi Jingzhi and the people closest to him acting like they didn't care. After everyone got on the bus, he quickly drove away from this world. place.

The dust that was stirred up has not calmed down yet. A caravan of nomads from the north is returning to the Dominion in the south loaded with goods. The reason why they chose this remote road is just to avoid the checkpoints near Fenglin City that charge extra clearance fees. That’s all.

Soon, news spread that a convoy was destroyed in the wild not far from Fenglin City. Logically speaking, in the dangerous wasteland world, attacks on convoys occur every day. Such incidents should not happen. It deserves so much attention.

However, Fenglin City itself is one of the gathering places for nomadic caravans, and the topic of road safety is what they are most concerned about, not to mention that the place where this incident occurred is near Fenglin City.

Secondly, there is the unexpected tragic situation of the convoy in the rumors. Huge craters, scorched land, and large tracts of fallen trees. The degree of tragedy after the destruction of that land is far beyond people's imagination. What happened to the convoy? What?Of course, such a topic with its own suspense elements will inevitably be deliberately or unintentionally spiced up during the dissemination process, such as high-risk monsters appearing, unnoticed corpse waves moving in the jungle...

The consequence... of course was that it successfully triggered a large-scale panic in Fenglin City and several surrounding city bases and human strongholds. It was not until the panic spread to the inner city of Fenglin City that the ruling class realized it later. Troops were sent to blockade the area. Among the troops responsible for the blockade, there were also some who fled without permission due to the rumors.

However, this incident seemed to have received considerable attention from the ruling class. The people who took the lead in escaping, except for the members of the Pianlin tribe, were shot on the spot as a deterrent. The other followers were also punished to varying degrees. A set of small combos The loose army was finally restrained. As for how to deal with this incident later, it was not something that the intelligence team, Hiiragi Jing and others had the time to pay attention to.

……

People only knew that the troops from Fenlin City had blocked the area where the incident occurred, but they did not understand that these troops only blocked the outside area. They were not qualified to enter the scene. Even the inner city guards who were used to being domineering were at this time At this moment, he also had to put his tail between his legs and obediently take on the task of guarding the outside.

Because as soon as they learned the news, a special armed team from the south took over here. Those armbands with silver crowns highlighted the special status of these people in Ofanto - the First Prince's Guard.

The intelligence team's judgment about the First Prince was very accurate. The loss of contact with this army indeed caused a big earthquake. After it was confirmed that they could not regain contact with the convoy, the entire secret service department was mobilized. Their actions were more... The intelligence team expected it to happen even faster.

When the Secret Agent was first established, he attached great importance to the transmission of information. For this reason, the First Prince spared no effort to lay underground lines between various strongholds. This almost caused a dimensionality reduction blow to the information transmission speed of other forces. It is precisely because of this The guard, composed of underground facilities and other locations, arrived here quickly under forced march just one day ago.

The charred black car body was dissolved to varying degrees, and the re-solidified molten iron maintained the posture before it flowed. The dilapidated road surface also cracked due to the high temperature. As for the collapse of the surrounding giant trees that originally blocked the sky and sun, the place was created. It is a large open area. The muddy and wet soil seems to have become hard due to burning. Thick leather boots cannot even leave a single footprint. There is also a large crater not far away, which shows that something happened here. A war of unprecedented scale.

Liu Jinqi stared at the extremely neat square openings on the carriage with a serious face. He was very familiar with such smooth cuts. No one in the entire underground facility could forget that she had been here before...

"Colonel..." The soldier holding a notebook quickly ran to him to report the preliminary investigation results of the scene. "All the biomass left by the crew members that can be found has been collected. Special equipment is needed to confirm the identity." …”

"Those who have not been found are tentatively classified as missing... but the pensions of all crew members must be paid, and no one is allowed to be left behind... continue." Liu Jinqi spoke first and then waved his hand to indicate to the man to continue.

"Yes...a rut was found near the crater, and different parts of the car body and explosive residue were also found near the crater. It seems that it was the source of the explosion."

"In addition, we also found traces of artificially dug trenches and artillery assumptions in the front."

"Huh?" Liu Jinqi let out a sigh at this discovery, "Someone wants to ambush the convoy?"

"According to people in the survey team, this is correct... but we did not find any traces of crossfire, bullet casings or even gunpowder residue. We are preparing to further expand the search scope..."

"No need, we don't have enough manpower. Who do you think the ambusher is? Fenglin City?"

"It's unlikely..." When he mentioned them, even the soldier in charge of the report couldn't recognize them and sneered, "These guys can't carry out such a meticulous operation."

"Could it be the Prince of Baishan, or an earl... No, no." At this point, Liu Jinqi rejected this possibility. Now that Baishan is too busy to take care of himself, it is of course impossible for him to do anything to them. The other earls are also attached. It was impossible for him to have the courage to act alone.

"Maybe... the intelligence team of the Advancement Council." The soldier turned the notebook in his hand to the next page, "We also checked the inside of Fenglin City and found multiple secret strongholds of the intelligence team. Fenglin City doesn't even have A complete topographic map of their own sewers, they know next to nothing about what’s beneath their feet.”

"Trash..." Liu Jinqi couldn't help but curse after hearing this.

"However, judging from the scene, the convoy had already encountered a witch before the ambush occurred... The lingering scent of the witch at the scene was very weak, but at least there were two or more types."

More than two kinds... more than two witches... Everyone has already confirmed this speculation. Since there are no traces of monsters in such a tragic scene, it can only be the result of a battle between witches.

"It seems that we underestimated the attraction of that thing, and it actually attracted so many witches... Let's continue the investigation, and report any latest findings in time."

After a brief explanation, Liu Jinqi said hello in a certain direction, and then Luo Nuolin came over reluctantly: "Hey, after finally coming out of the ground, can't you let me move more?"

"We don't have much time to stay. Don't we still have very important things to send to the capital?" Liu Jinqi pointed in the direction of the car, "The things here are left to the secret agents, and the intelligence team runs very fast. I guess I couldn’t find anything.”

"And to the community, those strange pharmaceutical residues may be more important than those seeds."

Chapter 48 The so-called Enlightenment

The intelligence team that left Fenglin City regrouped outside the wasteland a few kilometers away from Fenglin City. Hiiragi Jing had not known the detailed number of the intelligence team in Fenglin City until now. Judging from the scale of the gathering at the scene, it was scattered. There are almost a hundred people in Sanshan. He Xiaoyu is really good at leading so many people to develop in Fenglin City.

This time it is not a true rendezvous, but a rearrangement of personnel from different teams.In the past, due to limited time in Fengling City, I just packed a fleet of people into a convoy with the idea of ​​​​walking as much as I could, but this was just to leave Fengling City, and I couldn't do this if I wanted to continue traveling far away.

The intelligence team's convoy was too large to attract attention wherever it went, and they were bound to pass through the First Prince's fiefdom along the way. Splitting the team and dispersing operations became their only option, and for this reason, the intelligence team must ensure The confidential documents are not put in one basket, and at the same time, each team must have enough combat effectiveness to deal with possible crises.

All the members of Hiiragi Jing's team are responsible for responding to their battles, so they also have the biggest changes in personnel. Some people have left and some have joined, and among those who have joined, there are unexpected acquaintances.

"Yeah! It's you!"

After seeing Hiiragi Jing and others, Su let out a low cry in surprise and quickly trotted towards Hiiragi Jing's vehicle, with the huge native dog following closely behind.

Hiiragi Jing had already opened the door and was waiting. The only passengers in this van were witches. Even the drivers were Castor and Ruoxiang who took turns. Mostly for special reasons, Su and Bobby were squeezed out. It's not a problem. I'm afraid He Xiaoyu arranged for Su to come over because he wanted them to get along better with their peers.

I don’t know how grateful she would be for such an arrangement if she knew that all the witches in this car were in fact...

The speed of personnel adjustment was very fast. Most of Hiroyuki's team members were replaced. After all, everyone in her team was an experienced combatant. Soon the intelligence team started again. The four reorganized convoys sent each other out to take care of each other. Blessed and moved on in a different direction.

……

"Listen...I heard that you encountered a dangerous monster in the jungle. Is this true? What does it look like? Is it bigger than Bobby?" Su started chirping after hearing the news when he didn't see him just after setting off. Hiiragi and the others, who were shy to strangers but already somewhat familiar, immediately showed their lively personalities. Even Poppy in the back row hummed as if in agreement with Su.

It was obvious that Su was very concerned about not being able to participate in this kind of action.

"It's true..." Hiiragi was caught off guard. Such a cheerful and lively personality was a bit rare in the dark tones of the wasteland, but she soon started playing ball. "At that time, I was only supporting from the outside. Specifically, Poluk was actually responsible for the battle process."

"Huh?" Poluk, who was watching the scenery quietly on the side, never imagined that Hiiragi would give her the ball. Before she could speak, Su quickly changed the target, "Are you really a transformer? Is that transformation surgery painful? ?The uncles and aunts in the intelligence team said you are all reformers."

"Huh? Those...I..."

"The monster we did encounter was all thanks to Poluk to defeat it. We have never seen its appearance before, so it must be a brand new monster." At this time, Custer, who was in charge of speaking, opened his mouth to help his sister. , "As for the transformation surgery, it is one of the top secrets of the Promotion Council. Even we don't know much about it."

Custer's answer perfectly avoided Su's in-depth investigation, but Su was not too disappointed and turned back to Hiiragi to hear about how they ambush the army and how they fought against the monsters.

In order to highlight Pollock's status as the protagonist of the 'Reformer', most of the questions were left to her to answer. When Pollock obviously didn't know how to deal with it, he finally had to deal with it with the help of Castor and Ruoxiang. Coping with it, it seems that he is more aggressive than them, but in fact, his performance is more like the youngest one.

"By the way...don't you have someone else? I remember...it's called Irene?" Soon Su found the vacant person in the car, and Hiiragi Jing also answered with the same reason as Wu Kuan, Irene thought It will take some time to return to the team. Although the body temperature has returned to normal, there is still no sign of waking up. Fortunately, Hiiragi Jing, who can successfully control the black liquid, can barely fill the gap in Irene's combat effectiveness.

Along the way, Su kept talking as if he was tireless, and he didn't care whether anyone answered. Hiiragi suddenly regretted letting Su board the car. It should be possible to use dog hair allergies or other reasons... Forget it, at least Su's The existence makes their journey not so boring.

"Um...do you know anything about the new car Disu?"

The conversation was not Su's unilateral inquiry. Hiiragi Jing and others also began to collect information about this purpose. Su also gave all the information he knew, "I don't know much about this place." , I only know that it is the fiefdom of Prince Baishan, and I heard that it is a prosperous place with an abandoned city."

"Since it's called a new Ka Audi, there should be an old Ka Audi corresponding to it." Poluk suddenly raised a valuable question.

"Well, the name Kadi was inherited from before the war. It seems to be a very large coastal port city on the east coast before the war. It was also a key target of natural disasters. It was a huge nuclear wasteland, just in Xinjiang. Due west of the Caudi, our route has to be detoured from the south, so the name of the new Caudi should just be used." Su speculated.

"Wait a minute." Based on Su's description, Hiei Jing sketched the topographic map of the east coast of Ofanto in her mind. However, she soon discovered the contradiction in Su's words, "The new Caudi is in the Caudi core." Directly east of the deserted area? Isn't it said that Caodi is a port city from the pre-war era? According to you, it is not near the sea."

"It was indeed close to the sea before the war." Su started to explain, "but now the coastline has shrunk a lot compared to before the war, and the ruins of the Kadi nuclear wasteland are now located inland."

Coastline shrinking?Inland?The vehicle suddenly stopped while Hiiragi was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Hiongjing looked at Castor in the driver's seat, and the other party motioned her to look at the other vehicles that had also stopped driving in front of her. Before she could say anything, Wu Kuan's message came from the communication device placed in the car. Voice: "Attention to all vehicle crews: the forward investigation team has sent back information, and the enlightenment preachers have been advised to walk in the opposite direction along the road and stay vigilant."

Enlightenment preacher?what is that?

As Wu Kuan's order ended, the convoy resumed driving slowly, and soon Hiei Jing also saw that the so-called 'enlightenment preachers'... were actually them?

Familiar red characters are all over the body, including the beasts of burden, and the clear ringing sound comes from the bags tied to the backs of the beasts of burden.

Hiiragi Jing was deeply impressed after taking one look at such a familiar appearance. Isn't this the same team they saw on the way to Vibus Town from the underground facility just now?Of course, the two teams are not the same, but they have the same very unique style. So are their names called Enlightenment Preachers?

After noticing the convoy of the intelligence team, this team took the initiative to lead the camels and stood on the roadside. They lowered their eyes and waited quietly for the convoy to pass. There were no accidents in the process of passing by them. Everything was like this. It was quiet and bland, not to mention communicating and not even making eye contact.
