Chapter 466 reported
"It's so big...... What did that group do?" Thelma's other companion, Toller, asked in surprise.
They have been in the original city for so many years, and it is rare to see the "Hand of Order" make such a big movement in order to pursue the target.
Although the other party didn't say too much detail, the description of the storm in the city still allowed Selma and the others to intuitively get a glimpse of the rough situation.
Shang Jianyao, who was fiddling with the fire, replied instead of Jiang Baimian:
"Planning a big conspiracy against the 'First City'."
"What?" Sandro and Denise, who were in charge of vigilance, both blurted out.
They may just say this, but with the reaction of the "Hand of Order", this problem becomes quite serious.
Shang Jianyao kindly explained:
"This is the content of the mission description, which is a unilateral accusation of the 'Hand of Order' and may not be true."
Why does this sound strange...... Selma thought for a few seconds and said:
"The 'Hand of Order' has issued a mission to the guild? How much is the reward?"
He felt that looking at the seriousness and urgency of an incident, it cannot be based on subjective descriptions, and in comparison, the amount of the reward may be more telling.
"If you catch one person in the target gang, you can get 10,000 Ore." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "Of course, this is the price before we left the city, and it is not clear whether there has been any change now."
"Ten thousand Ore per target?" Thelma, Toler and others instantly felt a little toothache.
This level of bounty discourages them, they don't think they have any hope of completing it, and the corresponding risk must be too great to bear.
I can only see if there is a chance to get some clues and exchange them for money...... Such a thought flashed through their minds at the same time.
"I think it's too low." Shang Jianyao responded to the rhetorical questions of the ruins hunters on the opposite side with a sincere face.
"It's not low, it's not low." Selma shook her head repeatedly, "There are not many tasks like this in a year."
Jiang Baimian did not continue the topic, and asked calmly:
"This wasteland has been explored for decades, so there should be no valuable gains, right?"
The members of the "Old Tune Group" are all gray people, and it is normal that they are not familiar with this wasteland on the north bank of the Red River, so there is no need to hide it.
Hearing this, Thelma immediately made a judgment:
This is a team of relic hunters who are adventuring in the surrounding area for the first time.
The other party's appearance and kindness, the simplicity and ordinaryness of the question, made him not hide it, and said with a smile:
"Not what you think.
"There are many places here that are very polluted, and it has only been restored to a minimum in recent years, and there are still some areas that can be explored, uh, there are still some areas that are not recommended to enter now, unless you can wear chemical and radiation protective clothing all the time.
"In addition to exploring the ruins, hunting aberration creatures is also a way, they have high research value, the 'First City' officials are buying them, and some private researchers will offer a price that is enough to make your heart flutter, or directly hang a bounty mission."
At least two-thirds of those private researchers are white-gloves, black-gloves, and intelligence agents of major forces, specializing in collecting biological materials for organizations...... Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart and deliberately asked:
"Are there any urban ruins in the North Anheford area where you came that you can only enter in recent years?"
"Of course." Thelma nodded, "It's not a secret."
While the two sides were communicating, the pot of potato roast beef was already hot, and Shang Jianyao and the others took out oatmeal bread and ate it.
Selma, Sandro and others looked envious, but they could only swallow their saliva, feel the biscuits that were about to drip, dip them in some soup, and fill their stomachs.
Even so, the rich aroma and the taste that echoed in their mouths still moved them.
After taking turns to make good use of dinner, Selma took her leave.
Although the gray earth team looked friendly and not malicious, they still felt that they should keep enough distance.
That way, the person in charge of night duty will not be too stressed.
After showing off her muscles, Selma felt that if there was no serious conflict of interest, the other party should not take the risk of attacking her and others.
Sandro, Denise, and Toler were on high alert, and Thelma drove slowly towards another higher place.
The heavy rain quickly covered their tracks.
Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze, covered his mouth and yawned:
"Let's hurry up and rest, we have to hurry later."
After arriving at the north bank of the Red River, the "Old Adjustment Team", Han Wanghuo, and Zeng Duo chose to go against the norm at night in order to avoid the drone search of the "First City".
Although compared with other teams, they have Gnava, an intelligent person who does not affect the "field of vision" too much due to the dark environment, so there is no need to worry about some hidden dangers, but the speed still does not dare to drive too fast, focusing on stability.
In broad daylight, taking advantage of today's gloomy weather and poor visibility, they continued their journey and finally escaped the search range of the "First City" drone before the rainstorm - "First City" has several outposts and observation points in the wasteland on the north bank, as well as drones and other equipment.
As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, Gnawa had already walked down from the second floor of the main building.
He asked with a red light in his eyes:
"Why did you let me stay on it for a while?"
Jiang Baimian's eyes turned slightly, and he replied with a smile:
"Don't scare the guests......"
…………
The rainstorm subsided in the middle of the night, and Thelma and the others stayed until dawn before embarking on their return journey.
They went all the way smoothly, arrived at the bank of the Red River, and returned to the original city through the bridge.
Since they had several tasks on their backs, they went directly to the Hunter Guild without resting.
While waiting for her companions to hand over, Denise habitually looked at the big screen for tasks that could be taken on later.
"Selma, look, the 'Hand of Order' mission." Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she patted the squad leader on the shoulder.
Selma followed the reputation and found the content described by the gray earth team before.
"Planning a grand conspiracy against the 'First City'...... The amount of the bounty is 20,000 Ore per person? It's rising so fast, what did they do?" The more Thelma looked, the more frightened she became.
In just a few days, the bounty amount doubled, which inevitably made people suspect that the seriousness of the matter was still increasing!
For Thelma and the others, the stability of the city was the foundation of everything in the first place.
They didn't want to return to the original city after experiencing danger in the wasteland on the north bank and being physically and mentally exhausted, and then not being able to relax a little when they returned to the original city.
Sandro and the others also took a look at this mission, and soon, the names and photos of the pursuers came into their eyes.
"Xue October...... Zhang Qubing ......" Selma's gaze suddenly froze.
His companions were no exception, their expressions were all dull.
They have seen this group before!
It was the gray earth team that described this mission to them!
After coming back to their senses, Thelma and the others didn't care about shock, their hearts were full of fear and happiness.
They actually communicated face-to-face with such a dangerous team, each worth 20,000 Ore, for nearly half an hour, and rubbed each other's canned soup!
If we had said one or two wrong words at the time, we might not have been able to see the sun today...... Thelma couldn't help but raise her hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Who would have thought that a team of relic hunters casually encountered in the wild would be such a dangerous existence!
And the other party was able to talk about his reward task so easily.
After a while, Denise broke the silence and asked her teammates:
"Selma, do you want to hand over the information? I see that I am also paid a lot."
The highest level is 300 ore, and the lowest can be 50.
Thelma thought for a few seconds and said:
"Report it, the possibility of encountering them again is very low, so there is no need to worry too much.
"As a relic hunter, how can you let go of such an opportunity?"
…………
Red Giant Wolf District, 19 Rosta Street, "Hand of Order" headquarters.
"Xue Shiyue's team met a team of relic hunters, focusing on inquiring about the situation in the North Anheford area......" Theodore entered the conference room, picked up the materials on the table, and read them in a low voice.
They had learned from some informants that the target had escaped from the original city through a certain channel and ran to the wasteland on the north bank.
This is also the main reason why they increased the amount of bounty, the "Hand of Order" is responsible for the security of the manors in the city and the suburbs, and rarely sends people directly into the wasteland to capture the target, and then mainly relies on the military and relic hunters.
"I thought they would return directly to their own forces." Wall was a little puzzled by the movements of Xue October's team.
After getting important information, why are you still staying in the wasteland on the north bank?
At this time, his boss, Travis, the order officer of the Red Giant Wolf District, knocked on the table:
"No matter what, release this information so that the relic hunters and the military can pay more attention to that area."
…………
In an old world town that had been abandoned for many years, the ground was littered with all kinds of bones and feces.
Jiang Baimian and others parked their cars in a hidden place, and on the top of a certain house, they used telescopes to look at the black wasteland outside the town.
"There are many relic hunters passing by." Han Wanghuo said his observations.
Jiang Baimian chuckled:
"It seems that the information we actively transmitted back is still effective.
"Next, let these relic hunters help us explore the reality of the regular army of the 'First City' in the North Anheford area.
Zeng Duo next to him was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the "invitation" after meeting the relic hunter before would hide such a purpose.
Slapping, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.
