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

Han Nianling stood up from the sofa and walked slowly towards the door. The footsteps outside the door became closer and closer and stopped in front of the door where she was. Then a middle-aged man came through the door. Voice: "Excuse me, is Researcher Han Nian Linghan inside?"

They are obviously the ones responsible for guarding them, but they don't even know who and where they are being held?

In doubt, Han Nianling subconsciously stopped a few meters away from the door, but still responded to the other party's inquiry: "It's me, Han Nianling."

Not long after Han Nianling's words fell, there was a sound of unlocking the door. With a crisp sound, the door bolt that sealed the door was finally opened. The door handle was turned and the door was pushed open. However, When Han Nianling saw the figure standing behind the door for the first time, she immediately became alert. Although the other person was wearing the uniform of a soldier from Xidi City, she clearly realized that this person definitely did not look like that. That simple.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Han. I came here specifically on the entrustment of the leader." The middle-aged man grinned, and his gray-yellow teeth were made of rough stone.

leader?

Such a title is obviously not within the scope of military and political duties in Xiti City. Sure enough, the other party's next sentence confirmed Han Nianling's thoughts: "Let me introduce myself. I am a cadre of the Nomad Hyena Group. Others call me A Xing. I This time we come here to invite Researcher Han Nianling to join us."

Nomad? !

The news revealed in a brief self-introduction was extremely shocking. The first thing Han Nianling thought of was the team suspected of being organized by the remnants of nomads that raided the convoy during the day. Unexpectedly, there were really nomads in this area. During the event, what made people even more confused was why the nomads dared to appear so blatantly in this important facility in Xidi City.

But Han Nianling didn't have time to think too much about these things: "Invite me?"

"Yes, this is the wish of our leader. We all respect your deeds, so..." the middle-aged man said as he slowly pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Han Nianling in front, "... ...It would be such a pity that such a young, promising and beautiful woman should die like this..."

"If I don't agree, kill me... right?" The dark black gun muzzle hid a fatal murderous intention, which also made Han Nianling's heart feel cold. She had no doubt that she was The next second she refused, she was greeted by several bullets, but she still maintained her composure, "Why me?"

"Because you are very important to the Firstborn City..."

"So you hope to use me to intensify the conflict between Newborn City and Xidi City, or even trigger a military conflict?"

Ah Xing was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the other party could easily deduce the original intention and the purpose of his action from just a casual answer. He couldn't help but laugh a few times and said calmly: "Sorry, sorry, I was negligent. Yes, this is our purpose: to cause conflicts between Xidi City and Newborn City to completely disrupt the situation here, but if you join us, we will replace you with another substitute, and you can survive..."

The substitute... didn't need to guess to know that the person she was talking about was the A-level researcher Cheng Fang who came with her. She also didn't know that this guy who had been comparing herself to him learned that he was more valued by the nomads and he was just a What should I think when substituting?

"What is Miss Han's answer? By the way, there is no need to think about delaying time. The guards in Xidi City here are all under our control." The next kind reminder completely dispelled Han Nianling's idea of ​​delaying time.

How to do?

This is not the first time she has faced a dilemma, but now it seems that it will be difficult for her to get out of it this time. Unexpectedly, the nomads are hidden so deeply in this city. Now it seems that the young man who broke into the meeting room He should also be a member of the nomads. He is really an extraordinary person who can guide things step by step to such a situation.

But what can the nomads gain from the conflict between Xidi City and Newborn City?What is their real intention behind this?

"Miss Han, have you thought about it?"

Ah Xing's impatient urging sounded in his ears. The hand holding the pistol changed slightly. The index finger on the trigger must have exerted its strength to the critical point.

Han Nianling sighed silently in his heart...

Then pretend to agree first, and then wait for opportunities to counterattack. This is the best plan she can think of at the moment.

"I……"

'puff! '

The first word of Han Nianling came out of Han Nianling's mouth. In the next second, a short knife flew from the side and suddenly struck Ah Xing's gun-holding arm. The sharp blade was embedded several centimeters into the flesh. So deep, this sudden attack disrupted Ah Xing's position.

Faced with this sudden change, Han Nianling took quick action. With just one glance, she recognized that the short knife was the weapon equipped by Hiiragi Jing. Combined with the location information she sent in front of the communication terminal, it was not difficult to judge this. Who carried out this attack.

"Damn..."

The sharp blade seemed to have touched the bone, and blood seeped out of the wound a moment after the attack. The stinging pain in his arm made it difficult for Xing to hold the pistol for a moment. Just as he turned his head to look in the direction of the attacker. But he found that Han Nianling was quickly approaching him.

He wanted to pull the trigger, but he finally got the opponent's figure into his sights, but his weak fingers could not pull the trigger quickly, and he had no more chances to try.

"boom!!!"

The heavy blow between his legs caused him to lose everything in his field of vision for an instant. All his perceptions were affected by the severe pain in that part. Even the injuries on his arms were enough to be ignored. His nose and tears were uncontrollable. His mouth was wide open and no sound could come out. Curling up his body and tightening his muscles was all he could do.

"Forehead……"

Witnessing this scene, Hiiragi felt an uncontrollable soreness in his gums, and there were even bursts of phantom pain in the body parts that had long since disappeared, making people unconsciously tighten their legs. .

"You came just in time..."

Han Nianling walked out of the room and immediately saw Hiiragi Jing standing not far away. Regardless of the bloody wound on Ah Xing's arm, she pulled out Hiiragi Jing's short knife and borrowed his clothes. After wiping the blood stains clean, he threw it at Hiiragi's feet.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and look elsewhere. I'm not the only target of the nomads!"

Chapter 38 The truth about cooperation behind the scenes

Although it is still unclear what the real purpose of these nomads is, judging from the fact that the other party has no unnecessary scruples in killing themselves, it is certain that the other party is definitely not afraid of making things bigger or even bigger, the better.

If we judge according to this idea, then among the more than [-] people detained by the Xiti City government, there is an extremely special target who must also be on the kill list of this group of nomads - Ai Cheng, this person can kill Of course, the nomads would not let go of the perfect opportunity for Wushan City to be involved in chaos.

Even though he learned from a few words of conversation with Ai Cheng that the young master of the Ai family did not seem to be popular with his family, his identity was there after all. Once a bad incident like his being killed in Xiti City happened, what would happen? The Wushan City base government under the Ai family must make a statement on this.

Hiiragi's report also confirmed that the nomads who came here were definitely not just the Ah Xing whom they had just solved together.

While running quickly, Han Nianling weighed the pistol she had 'borrowed' from the nomad just now in her hand. With her critical eyes, which had been cultivated by researchers from the Research and Development Department's special weapons over the years, she saw that the pistol was no different from a tattered one in nature. , the wooden gun handle has not been polished at all, and wooden thorns will penetrate the skin if you are not careful. The human-machine function is so poor that it is uncomfortable to hold, the heavy weight is redundant and laborious, and the rifling is seriously worn... ...If it hadn't been properly maintained, this gun would have been scrapped long ago.

According to the self-introduction of the nomad Ah Xing, it seems that he holds a so-called official position in that hyena group, but the weapons he is equipped with are actually so poor. It is conceivable that the life of this group of nomads does not seem to be the same. Not having a good time.

However, Han Nianling did not dare to underestimate this group of nomads. Compared with ordinary plunderers, the scarier thing about the nomads is their organizational ability, from their infiltration of Xiti City and the so-called 'hyena group' Judging from their organizational planning, they already have quite mature organizational capabilities and must not be treated as the remnants of nomads.

Different from the building form on the surface, although the underground of this official building only has one floor, it occupies a wide area and is a grid-like building structure. However, these detained Newborn City personnel are not scattered and have not left yet. After a few steps, they found the room where the second item was being held.

As soon as their footsteps approached the door, there was a gentle knocking sound: "Are they Sister Han Nianling and Hiiragi Jing?"

Zero nine? !It seemed that she sensed their auras in advance.

After recognizing the owner of the voice, Han Nianling immediately opened the door with the key found from Ah Xing. Ling Jiu, who had just opened the closed door through a small gap, was already waiting at the door. He couldn't wait to get out of it and hugged Hiiragi who was beside him. He made a sound of "Huh..." in his throat while burying his face in Hiiragi's chest and rubbing it from side to side.

The only thin fiber of her shirt could not block Ling Jiu's warm breath. The constant itching sensation made Hiiragi have the urge to push Ling Jiu away, but when she thought of the other person in a fixed environment, After being detained for such a long time and in urgent need of comfort, Hiiragi had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure everything.

Han Nianling glanced at the room behind the door, and saw that the spaciousness of the indoor space was probably even greater than hers. Many things were not even in her room, and a lot of snacks fell on the coffee table. Although they are ordinary candies wrapped in paper, they are already considered good desserts for Xiti City. There are even many toys staggered on the carpet in the center of the room, including common wooden dolls and plush toys. All things needed... Even though Lingjiu is a little younger, this level of special care is indeed an exaggeration.

She was 1 in disbelief: a person who had been undergoing secret experiments in a closed environment of the Ministry of Science for a year could stay in such a generous environment for a few hours and still need psychological comfort so urgently. The reality of this little guy I'm afraid I just want to be intimate with Hiiragi Jing.

Such preferential treatment for a little girl can basically confirm the attitude of the Xidi City Military Government's unwillingness to antagonize the Newborn City. This is good news. At least the Xidi City Military Government can not be regarded as their enemy. It is enough to stop these audacious nomads from committing any crazy acts.

It is also fun to appreciate Hiiragi Jing's involuntary expression of embarrassment, but the current situation is not the time for enjoyment: "Okay, that's enough for you two. Let's stop being tired and so on. We still have a lot of time. Important things need to be done, Lingjiu, can your perception function be used normally?"

"What's so greasy..." Han Nianling's description made Hiiragi a little embarrassed, but her low protest was ignored.

"Complete supplement..."

The satisfied Ling Jiu muttered something and got out of Hiiragi Jing's arms. Then he nodded vigorously to Han Nianling to express his affirmation. Han Nianling immediately handed the key in his hand to Ling Jiu: "It should be closed nearby." There are many people in our team. Please hurry up and release them, and let them immediately complete all control of the underground level. Then guard all the entrances and wait to join us." After the brief and powerful instructions, the three of them immediately Take action in two directions.

Han Nianling didn't know the specific direction Ai Cheng was in, but he still knew the general direction. According to Hiiragi Jing's dictation, the four nomads who went underground were divided into teams of one person and three people and left to the left and right of the corridor. And the lone traveler she chose to follow happened to take her to the room where Han Nianling was.

According to the instructions of Hiiragi Jing's memory, the two of them quickly arrived at the corridor at the entrance of the stairs. After passing a corner, the two of them saw a room with the door opened, and the white light in the room shone brightly. It looked particularly eye-catching in the dim corridor.

'not good! '

The scene in front of her shocked Hieragi Jing and Han Nianling. These nomads moved faster than she imagined. It seemed that they had accurately grasped the detailed information of where different people were being held.

If Ai Cheng is really killed by those nomads, then not only Xidi City but also the Newborn City will not be exempted from the responsibility. After all, the responsibility of escorting is on the Newborn City side, and the trouble will not be easily solved.

There seemed to be sounds coming from inside the room. Whether the nomads were still fighting or had succeeded, they had to rush there as soon as possible. After winking with Hiiragi Jing, Han Nianling immediately ran towards the opened door. He opened the door, and Hiei Jing, who was following Han Nianling, tightly held the short knife in his hand and prepared for the upcoming battle.

"Oh? So the two ladies have successfully escaped?"

However, neither of the two possible scenarios that Han Nianling guessed happened. When she rushed from behind the cover of the wall and aimed her gun at the figure standing not far from the door, she suddenly discovered: The muzzle of the gun was pointed at The one she was targeting was not one of the nomads, but the guard named Gen Bonstin. At this time, he was wiping his hands with a white handkerchief. As for the nomad she was worried about, he was lying on the ground next to Gen. On the ground at their feet, a total of two people seemed to have fallen into a coma.

Han Nianling noticed that the two unconscious nomads also dropped a pistol that was similar to the one she was holding. This discovery surprised her even more. This guard who was not young actually solved two of them with his bare hands. A nomadic marauder armed with thermal weapons?

"There's nothing surprising. I just hid behind the door after hearing the footsteps and waited for an opportunity to attack..." Han Nianling's gaze made Genn wave his hands modestly. The understatement showed that he I don't want to say too much about how to deal with these two nomads.

"Most of these guys have found your way. Xidi City is really careless this time, ha..." Ai Cheng's voice coming from the side took over the attention of Han Nianling and Hieragi Jing. At that time, he was lying flat on the sofa, looking as lazy as ever, and the chuckle at the end of his words seemed to be mocking.

"These are not people from Xidi City, they are..."

"Nomad, I already know." Ai Cheng interrupted Han Nianling's words, sat up from the sofa and threw something towards Han Nianling. The object drew a parabola in mid-air and was not deflected. Buyi just fell into Han Nianling's forward-stretched hand.

"This is..." Lying in her hand was a string of pendants. Except for the slightly different production process and tooth material, its style was exactly the same as the pendant that the nomad team had seized on the road before. Her finger Jian silently stroked the hand-polished marks on the metal sheep head skull logo, and even the rough texture was so familiar.

"This is what was found from these guys. There is no need to be suspicious of the identity of the nomads. Tsk... They are really a group of tenacious guys. They traveled thousands of miles from the desert in the west to come here, and they are really there. Xiti City has found a place to stay..." Ai Cheng sneered again, "Now that they have no longer listened to the general, the Xiti City government has really staged a textbook case. Luring the wolf into the house."

"But... what is the purpose of Xidi City? It can make them cooperate with the nomads who are wanted gangs in the Southern Federation." Han Nianling is not omniscient and omnipotent, especially when it comes to the understanding of major urban bases in the Southern Federation. , let alone infer its intentions from Xidi City's interests.

"It's simple, because it was not the Xiti City Government that reached cooperation with the nomads, or rather it was not the Xiti City Government at that time..."

What Ai Cheng said next made Han Nianling slightly stunned, and then he showed an expression of realization: "You mean...it's Zhao Anpan?"

Chapter 39 The truth about cooperation behind the scenes 2

Ai Cheng clapped his hands together and gave a clear high-five to express his approval for Han Nianling's ability to give the answer so quickly, but this also directly led to another doubt of Han Nianling: "But, how do you know this? ?”

"Before I went to Newborn City with the Southern Federation convoy to negotiate, I had already learned in advance the basic information about the various human strongholds and cities along the way. Xidi City was naturally one of the targets I knew about. I have a good memory. Not bad..." Ai Cheng tapped his forehead with his fingertips quite confidently, "The general in charge of Xidi City that I remember is not named Zhao Anpan. This is also what I have been thinking about during the meeting. ."

"Is there no possibility of personnel replacement?" Just because the generals in charge are different does not seem to be a strong support for Ai Cheng's conjecture, but it is naturally impossible for Ai Cheng to draw this conclusion with only such a small basis. That’s all.

"The base military government in Xidi City inherited the militia management organization from the time when it was a human stronghold. The current general-in-chief is essentially the former militia leader. He can continue to serve as long as he is not old enough. As far as I know The commander-in-chief of Xiti City is named Wang Fu. The first commander-in-chief died of illness not long ago. As his deputy and the most powerful southern district general in Xiti City, Wang Fu had already submitted a request to the Southern Federal Government at the end of last year. The application submitted was approved in May this year, and soon after he officially took over the post of General Commander-in-Chief of Xiti City."

"But the problem is that the previous commander-in-chief passed away very hastily, and he did not name his successor. Wang Fu took the position forcefully by relying on nearly half of the military strength of Xiti City under his control. This naturally triggered Others are dissatisfied. As for the appointment of the Southern Federal Government, it is just a formality. As long as the city of Xiti expresses its stance and adheres to the principle of being a member of the Southern Federal Government, basically anyone nominated can be approved, and there is no enforcement power."

"And this Zhao Anpan's original position was the general of the northern district of Xidi City. Like Wang Fu, he was also one of the candidates for the general general of Xidi City. Although the northern district he guarded was not as powerful as Wang Fu in terms of military strength, , but due to its geographical location, he could be the first to come into contact with some external forces that came to the Xidi City area... Whether he was unwilling to have his position as commander-in-chief taken away or he was afraid that Wang Fu would suppress him in the name of commander-in-chief and general, he would There are plenty of reasons to resist."

The information and analysis provided by Ai Cheng made Han Nianling fall into deep thought. Although this statement still lacked key evidence, Han Nianling basically agreed with the other party's speculation. Zhao Anpan provided supplies and accommodation for the nomads. The points were repaired, and the nomads were responsible for helping Zhao Anpan become the commander-in-chief of Xidi City. The common interests of the two overlapped with each other and formed the basis of this cooperation.

This makes sense.

"If that's true... then Zhao Anpan is really bold." Han Nianling sighed softly, and then looked at Ai Cheng. Ai Cheng originally thought it was Han Nianling who still had doubts about his speculation. There was some doubtful behavior, but she did not continue to ask. The meaningful gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Ai Cheng couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek. It felt greasy but smooth, with no foreign matter attached except for a few acne protrusions.

"It's nothing, just a little curious." Han Nianling shrugged, "Even you are like this, so what about your younger brother who is more valued by the family than you?"

"Who knows?" Ai Cheng imitated Han Nianling and shrugged without answering Han Nianling's question. Han Nianling didn't want to get to the bottom of this. The question just now was just casually out of curiosity. Just ask.

At this moment, Hiiragi Jing, who was helping Wan Gen tie up the two nomads who had been knocked unconscious, suddenly raised his head and asked, "By the way, are there only two here? Have you seen any other nomads?"

"There's no one else, just these two." He tied the rope that bound the nomads with a tight knot, and after handling the matter in hand, Genn thought for a moment, shook his head and added, "The footsteps approaching the door also sounded. No third person was heard."

Just these two?Including the one that was solved by the two of them, there were only three in total, so the question is: Where did the other one go?

Gen's reply made Hiiragi Jing and Han Nianling look at each other. Their originally calm mood suddenly became tense again. The change in their expressions was seen by Ai Cheng, who immediately realized what happened.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but at this moment, a loud siren suddenly sounded outside the room, followed by a warning in the form of a radio: "An enemy situation has been detected in the Guards headquarters building, and the detention personnel are holding The guards fled with weapons, and patrols from all places rushed to the headquarters building to support them! I repeat, the enemy situation was discovered in the Guards headquarters building, and the detainees fled with weapons, and patrol teams from all places rushed to the headquarters building to provide support! "

Oops!

No matter who it was, his expression suddenly became extremely serious. No one expected that the good situation would turn suddenly for the worse at this moment.

……

Xidi City Military Government Building, General-in-Chief's Office.

As the highest official in Xidi City, the interior decoration of the General-in-Chief's office goes without saying much. The entire top level is within the confines of this office.

In addition to the basic office area, there are also various facilities, such as gyms, saunas, bath rooms, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. It is more like a high-standard entertainment venue than an office. Imagine that such a place could exist in a small Xidi city.

Since he became the General-in-Chief and moved here, Zhao Anpan has felt lucky for his success more than once. When he was a military general, he felt disgust and contempt for the General-in-Chief's extravagant life, which he experienced personally. After that, he disappeared without a trace, and all the worries of facing the apocalyptic wasteland were forgotten when he enjoyed this small world.

However, at this moment, the troubles that lingered in him could not be erased by these. Even if he soaked in the steaming bath, the soothing water temperature could not ease his tense thinking and frowning brows, because of the problems he faced Definitely the toughest ever for him, even tougher than the problems he faced to get to this position.

Diplomacy with other city bases has always been an unfamiliar area to him. Before becoming the general-in-chief, he was only a general in the northern region. He was only responsible for the internal defense work in his own jurisdiction. Those who were originally responsible for the diplomacy of Xidi City The person responsible for the affairs was replaced because of a lack of support for him.

He originally planned to slowly select a group of available people to replace him, but what Zhao Anpan didn't expect was that something like this would happen suddenly. The sudden accident made him confused for a while. Now when he recalls what he did out of fear at the time, He couldn't help but feel regret for his impulsive behavior. He was so afraid of losing this position that he forgot to think carefully.

Fortunately, things have not reached an irreversible point. I am very attentive to the team arrangements in those newborn cities, and all the treatment specifications are the best. I think the other party should know what I mean. As long as we wait until tomorrow to contact again, if necessary If the other party really wants to hold on to this matter... I can also throw those people out.

"The general in chief is really leisurely and elegant. Does this hot water feel comfortable?"

At this moment, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open slowly, and a figure in the hazy mist walked towards here following the sound of footsteps.

"You still dare to come?!"

The familiar voice made Zhao Anpan suddenly open his eyes and look at the figure, his growling voice full of anger.If it hadn't been for him none of the things that bothered him would have happened.

"What's wrong? Why is the general in chief so angry?" The young man standing by the bathing pool had a slight smile on his face. This was You An, the assistant defense officer of Xiti City whom he had just appointed. At the same time, he He is also the actual leader of these nomads.

"Don't think that I don't know, you did it on purpose." Zhao Anpan sat up and glared at You An, questioning him word by word, "I asked you and your men to stay. I also fulfilled your request to deploy checkpoints in the south, tell me...why did you do this?"

"The Superintendent General wouldn't mind sharing the pool with me, right?" You An did not answer Zhao Anpan's question, but said something that was far beyond Zhao Anpan's expectation.

"what?"

Before Zhao Anpan could answer, You An had already reached out and unbuttoned the first button on his collar, then the second, then the third...

"Don't pretend you didn't hear my question. Let me ask you, why did you..."

Before Zhao Anpan finished speaking, the scene he saw in front of him suddenly stopped him. As Youan untied the knots that tied the cloth strips, he couldn't imagine how the two groups were squeezed into that narrow space.
