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

Before thinking about these problems, she had better go home first. After standing for so long with a bag of things, her arms were already sore.

After showing his mercenary qualification certificate and getting permission to cross the blockade, Hiei Jing saw at a glance that in front of the isolation net not far away were several white tents with red cross logos printed on them, wearing masks and white Medical staff in long coats shuttled back and forth among them.

There were at least 100 people waiting in line. The long line stretched from the tent to this side. Hiiragi had no intention of queuing up quietly. She didn't even go for any inspection, but walked through the crowd and went straight to the entrance tent. Go.

With her outfit, it's easy to get in line and do anything.

"Sorry, if you want to pass, please pass the inspection..."

"This is my physical examination form at the Health Medical Center today. I wonder if I can pass it?"

Without waiting for the doctor who was standing outside the tent to stop him to finish his words, Hiiragi immediately took out the physical examination form from today's Newborn City Health Medical Center from his pocket.

"Examination table?"

Hiiragi's special case of bringing his own form was somewhat beyond the doctor's expectation. He took off his glasses as if to preview the information on the physical examination form, but Hiiragi always felt that the doctor's attention did not seem to be on the content of the form. .

"Well, I'm sorry, little girl. This kind of routine physical examination may not meet the requirements of epidemic prevention inspection, but at least you can skip the ordinary inspection link. Please go to the temporary scanning room at the back to receive the final stage of epidemic prevention inspection."

The final step?

Sure enough, just as Hiiragi thought, it seems that this place is not just a simple epidemic prevention inspection...

Hiiragi Jing was tired of the frequent examinations throughout the day, but she still cooperated as calmly as possible and walked into the temporary scanning room at the back under the guidance of the nurse.

It is said that the scanning room is actually a slightly larger tent. The only difference from other tents is that this tent is not made of ordinary fabric. It looks more like a plastic texture and is thicker. It seems to be made of some kind of tent. An energy insulating material.

Walking into the tent and stepping on the soft carpet, the pictures inside the tent cheered up the bored Hiiragi a little bit. There were various instruments placed in the tent, which were full of technology. The most eye-catching thing was the one in the center of the tent. A scanner shaped like a door frame, with messy pipelines connecting it to several terminals. Several figures in white coats were busy in front of the terminals.

They are not doctors... Hiiragi confirmed the true identities of these people at first glance. These were definitely people from the institute.

This epidemic prevention inspection was not so much led by the institute as it was planned by the institute. The people from the health and medical center were just here to cooperate with the show.

"Please take off your coat and mask. I will keep them for you. Pass the scanner in front. If the values ​​are normal, you can leave."

It's that simple?

Hiiragi handed the coat and mask to the other party's hands as instructed, and walked towards the scanner. While passing through the scanner, she didn't know whether it was due to psychological effects or some other reason, but she vaguely seemed to have passed through a layer. The missing film and the exposed skin have subtle contacts with tiny particles.

Although it was only for a short moment, it was truly a wonderful experience.

"Is it okay?" Hiiragi turned around and asked. Since the so-called inspection has been completed, she can go home.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

At this moment, a young researcher wearing glasses suddenly raised his head from the terminal, with a look of astonishment and shock on his face. The other researchers stopped what they were doing and looked at his terminal. .

This shout also attracted the soldiers standing guard outside. They rushed in as quickly as possible and immediately took Hiiragi, who was standing there at a loss, into their sights.

etc!what happened? !

Hiiragi Jing, who was frozen in place, didn't understand the situation at all. She was regarded as a dangerous person and was pointed at gunpoint even though she did nothing. Or... the changes in her body caused some kind of abnormal situation and was scanned by this machine. Did the instrument check come out?

Chapter 9 Sudden clues

"What happened?"

A lot of movement in the tent naturally attracted the attention of the outside. A stern female voice entered the solemn atmosphere of the tent, and then a beautiful figure came to the tent and walked in. The gust of wind brought by it made Hiiragi feel vaguely like I smelled the faint scent of camellia in the air.

And her arrival also relieved the current dilemma Hiiragi was facing.

"Do you know how valuable the instruments here are? Put the gun away!"

"Yes!"

As soon as she gave the order, the two soldiers quickly put down their guns and turned sideways to salute the woman who walked into the tent behind them.

No longer having to be pointed at a gun, Hiiragi's heart was finally relieved a little. While she was thankful, she also began to look at the woman curiously from the gap between the two soldiers who stepped aside.

She has long brown wavy hair that is rare in the entire Chusheng City. She has a beautiful face and is very young. She is not much older than Sister Shang Shu, probably around [-] years old.

Although he is wearing the same white coat as the researchers present, the other person is definitely not ordinary. From the respectful behavior of the two soldiers and the cautious eyes of other researchers, it can be seen that this person's identity is definitely extraordinary. He is most likely B-level from the Newborn City Research Institute. The above-mentioned senior researcher is already an upper-class figure in the newborn city. For a small second-level mercenary like her, this is definitely a person to look up to.

"You two go out first, who can explain what happened?"

After waving her hands to let the two soldiers exit the tent, the young woman glanced at the researchers. There was no obvious expression in her eyes or expressions, but it made Hiiragi feel a full sense of majesty.

"Report...report, Researcher Han..."

The male researcher who yelled to attract the soldiers raised his hands tremblingly. Hiiragi also looked over. The crisis was temporarily put on hold. At this time, she also wanted to know what caused her body to be suddenly destroyed. Called stop.

"Well...your permission to upload to the institute's first-level database was locked, because it was so sudden...so a lot of data was lost before it could be recorded..."

what? !

Hiiragi Jing was stunned for a while. When she came back to her senses and wanted to understand what the male researcher meant, she realized that it had nothing to do with her. What she had just experienced was just a disaster. , then why did she want to be pointed at a gun? What was the reason for being worried and scared just now?Why didn't this guy explain in time just now? This is too stupid!

At this time, no one cares how intense Hiiragi's mental activity is.

The male researcher's words made the expression of Researcher Han change slightly. She quickly walked towards the terminal in front of her. The male researcher had already consciously moved away before being forcibly pushed away.

He didn't lie. The terminal screen glowed with light blue, and a line of content displayed in red font came into her eyes: 'Your permissions have been restricted. Please consult the database administrator for details.'

Researcher Han's eyes narrowed slightly. There should be no problem in exercising this level of authority in her capacity. However, now that she has encountered such a thing, someone must be causing trouble behind her.

"How much data was lost?"

"About... about 200 people before starting from this little girl..."

"More than 200?"

Of course she knew that this was not an accurate figure. The real figure was much larger than this number.

But no matter what, it makes no difference whether it is two hundred or two thousand. The loss of these data represents a problem, that is, the meaning of their busy day today has been wiped out.

Her face was gloomy and her brows were slightly furrowed. Although the change in her expression was slight, the anger gradually rising in her heart was not small at all.

She persuaded the research institute, mobilized the standing army, applied for database access qualifications, sealed off the No. [-] resettlement area and gradually inspected it... She spent a lot of effort to get to this point, but this happened at the last moment...

"call……"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the impulse in his heart, Researcher Han's eyes fell on the three words 'Administrator' and said expressionlessly: "Immediately contact Researcher Chen Fang of the institute. I have some things that I need to know clearly. …”

"There's no need to bother Researcher Han Nianling. I'm already here. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them." Before the words could be heard, footsteps came from outside the tent. The person who broke into the tent with these words was A tall, thin man.

His appearance is not outstanding, his black oily hair is meticulously groomed, and there is a little stubble on his chin. He is also wearing a white coat that is the same as the others, but the one on his left chest is not from the Health Medical Center. Instead of a red cross logo, it was a simplified blue Erlenmeyer flask. Hiiragi recognized it: this was the logo of the institute.

From his words, it is not difficult to tell that he is the Researcher Chen Fang mentioned by Researcher Han just now. His level is no lower than that of Researcher Han. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has conflicts with Researcher Han... But these are inconsistent with her What does it have to do with Hiiragi? Hiiragi just wants to go home as soon as possible instead of watching these two researchers perform a sitcom in his own eyes.

Of course, these are just thoughts. Hiiragi's only choice at the moment is to just stand there and wait for arrangements and not to act rashly.

"Researcher Chen, what do you mean?" Looking directly at Chen Fang who walked into the tent, the female researcher known as Han Nianling did not show the anger she should have at this time on her face, and she still kept her calm question. Calm and rational.

"I have obtained the dean's promise to apply for the database, but the twelve-hour validity period has not passed half yet? You have no right to block my permissions. You should know the consequences of using permissions privately to interfere with approved projects. "

Chen Fang kept a light smile on her face from beginning to end and did not interrupt Han Nianling's words, which made her realize that the other party was also prepared.

"Have you finished what Researcher Han has said? Then it's my turn." Chen Fang said as he took out a notice from his pocket, with the red seal of the Research Council on the lower right corner of the notice, " I am here on behalf of the council to order you to immediately terminate this meaningless inspection. This is signed by the people in charge of the council. Do you want to confirm it, Researcher Han?"

"Is it you playing tricks?"

Han Nianling didn't look at the notice at all, but stared at Chen Fang's eyes and asked every word.

"What's wrong?" Chen Fang sneered and dismissed Han Nianling's statement, "You are the one who made the mistake. All my actions are responsible for the entire research institute and the entire Newborn City base government. On the contrary, I am responsible for the limited rights of the Firstborn City." Resources are wasted on such meaningless things, don't be so unscrupulous just because of the dean's accommodation..."

"I have already said that the monitor detected a sudden burst of dark energy band in the No. [-] settlement area at [-] o'clock this morning..."

"Then why didn't the monitor record clear data?"

"Because the energy exceeded the limit range of the monitor, I was the only one in the monitoring room at the time..."

"Enough! Han Nianling!" Chen Fang shouted to stop Han Nianling's retort. He shook his head, folded the notice and put it back in his pocket, "If there is such a strong energy fluctuation, even if it is only for a millisecond... …Do you think Newborn City can still be safe and sound like this?”

"I can't be convinced based on your one-sided words. If you have any problems, please explain to the council. If the council allows it, I have nothing to say to check the inflator... Another piece of advice for you: don't continue in the JD abandoned city nuclear waste zone. What a waste of time and resources.”

After saying this, Chen Fang strode out, and the tent returned to a dead silence. It was so solemn and oppressive that it made people breathless. This dead silence lasted for dozens of seconds, until a Han Nianling was next to him. The researcher opened his mouth before being broken.

"Researcher Han... what should we... do?"

How to do?

Han Nianling stared at the door of the tent and didn't know what she was thinking. Her quiet attitude seemed like she didn't hear the question. Finally, when the researcher couldn't help but want to ask a second time, she sighed softly. In one breath: "The inspection project is terminated, the instruments are removed... let's go."

As if they had been looking forward to these words for a long time, the researchers behind them immediately took action. Apparently, their patience had been exhausted by a whole day of fruitless and boring inspections.

After taking a look at the researchers behind him, who seemed unwilling to stay here any longer, Han Nianling also left the tent.

The dispute ended and the examination was suspended... But Hiiragi stood there blankly and didn't know what to do. From the beginning to the end, she was like a transparent person. No one paid attention or even looked at her... She should Could it be that it was forgotten? !

"Um...I...can I go?"

"Huh? You are... Oh! That's okay, the project has been suspended, you can go back."

The weak question caught the attention of the male researcher wearing glasses, but such a reaction left Hiiragi speechless. He thought for a few seconds before remembering her. Was she really forgotten? ! !

After leaving the tent and collecting her personal belongings, she headed towards her home. The wire isolation net had been removed long ago, and almost all the poor people queuing up were gone. She was stranded in the tent and was forced to watch a debate. The guy is undoubtedly the unluckiest.

But not all was lost. The argument between the two researchers revealed a lot of information. As she walked on the road, Hiiragi recalled the argument between the two senior researchers and sorted out the valuable information in detail.

Such as the so-called energy fluctuations in the No. [-] resettlement area. It seems that this is the reason for this 'epidemic prevention inspection'. It seems that it was promoted by the researcher named Han Nianling. He had to be dismissed because he could not produce any substantial evidence. Stop.

Whether it is true or false, there is no right or wrong. Hiiragi Jing does not know the details and it is difficult to make any evaluation.

But Chen Fang’s approach seems to be problematic in Hiiragi Jing’s eyes. Her rude words seem to be specifically targeted at

When the other party came, Han Nianling remained rational and calm at all times.

Moreover, he kept saying that he was responsible for the New City in order not to waste resources, but when he thought about it carefully, this inspection lasted for a whole day, why not stop it as soon as possible?It's hard to believe that Chen Fang didn't do this on purpose when the inspection was about to end.

As a mercenary, Hiiragi hates this kind of guy who is behind the scenes the most. This kind of person is more disgusting than the monsters and enemies on the battlefield... Wait!

The emergence of a certain memory fragment suddenly made Hiiragi stop in her tracks, as if a statue was motionless, but deep inside, the excitement had already set off huge waves in her heart.

Did he just... talk about the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland? !

Chapter 10 Renewed hope

Slowly walking along the long and narrow steps into the space below the surface, the crisp sound of footsteps made by leather boots on the ground echoed in the long and narrow stairway.

Above the head, a low-power chandelier casts a dim glow. The unmutated flying insects follow their instinct of light and tirelessly hit the glass shell of the light bulb. Their random flight path ignores the cobwebs under the lampshade.

After walking down the last step, the surrounding space suddenly opened up. A rusty fence and gate ran across the road ahead. Most of the original orange paint on it had already peeled off, and the iron torso was also covered with stains. Traces of distortion and depression.

More than ten meters behind the fence gate is a defensive position constructed of cement piers and sandbags. However, the dozen or so security personnel in the position do not feel as nervous as the defenders should. Most of them sit together in twos and threes. , gambling, drinking, joking and everything. No one noticed Hiiragi Jing walking in from the entrance stairs at the first time. They had already forgotten their duties.

This scene was already familiar to Hiiragi. She walked straight to the right side of the barrier gate, where a thin old man stood up from his chair tremblingly and put his hand on the barrier gate. on the gate controller.

"Please...show me your ID."

The old man spoke with a heavy accent, but even if he didn't understand Hiiragi Jing, he knew what documents needed to be checked in a place like this.

Spreading the second-level mercenary qualification certificate that he had prepared in his hand, the old man took a look through the gap in the fence and pulled down the controller.

The barrier gate slowly rose to make way for traffic. Hiiragi simply thanked her and continued to step inside, heading deeper into the underground space.

At the end of the long corridor was a heavy iron door, from which came faint sounds. This sound was all too familiar to Hiiragi - the sound of gunshots.

There are many mercenaries and private armed forces in Newborn City. In order to deal with the hidden dangers caused by this situation, the base government also has very strict control over firearms.

When individuals purchase firearms, they need to register. Individual armed forces are allowed to hold firearms, but only when they need to go out to perform tasks. When they return from the mission, their guns must be stored in a designated place of the base government...that is, here - Newborn City underground shooting range.

This was originally an underground parking lot. When it was first built, war protection and strategic material reserves seemed to be taken into consideration. Therefore, it also had excellent venting capabilities and was almost completely preserved from the war. It was discovered more than 100 years later. and re-enable it.After a series of expansions and renovations, it became the underground shooting range of Chusheng City today.

An iron door separates two worlds. Everything inside the door is completely different from the dilapidated feeling outside.

The bright white lights make it impossible to feel that you are dozens of meters underground. The floor paved with white tiles is very clean, and tables and chairs for people to rest are neatly arranged in the open area, located on the load-bearing pillars in the center of the hall. , and even a picture tube TV was hung in each of the four directions, simultaneously playing the few entertainment programs or news in the newborn city.

Although it is called a shooting range, the Newborn City Underground Shooting Range provides more than just storing weapons and target practice. Military material sales, accessories modification, gun maintenance, etc. can all be carried out here.

The underground shooting range of the Newborn City is very large. Although no clear data has been published, but based on the distance between the entrance and the exit, it can be roughly known that the area of ​​the underground shooting range of the Newborn City will not be less than [-] square meters. Even so, there are still several places here. Quite crowded.

Hiiragi didn't stay in the lobby for too long and immediately walked towards her destination with ease...

"this way please……"

After showing her mercenary qualification certificate again at the counter in the fixed area, Hiiragi was quickly brought to a small separate compartment. After waiting for a while, the service staff who left returned to the compartment again. This time There was an item wrapped in dark green oilcloth in his hand.

"It has been modified according to your requirements. This is the finished product. Please inspect it."

The waiter opened the oilcloth as he spoke, and a gun wrapped in a strip of cloth gradually emerged from under the oilcloth.
