In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 210 Mercenary Union

The time limit for a Level A mission is seven days.

The group returned to the mercenary guild just before the mission failed.

This was also Yu Yao's first time visiting the Mercenary Guild headquarters.

The huge white domed building has a striking LED screen hanging high in all four directions as you enter the lobby on the first floor.

Each screen displays a scrolling list of tasks that have been released at various levels.

And tasks that were accepted by others but not completed.

Different levels of tasks have different requirements, rewards, the number of people who can accept them, and the expiration time of the tasks.

Yu Yao glanced at them and found that they were mostly DCB-level missions.

There are relatively few A-level missions, and none of them are S-level missions.

Below, directly facing the entrance, there is a whole row of windows.

Handle tasks at different levels separately.

The second level is the office area.

The third floor is where members of the Mercenary Guild gather.

......

When Dongfang Jin went to hand in the mission, Lei Xuanqing had already run downstairs and waved to Chi Heng from afar.

"Hey~ I'm here!"

Chi Heng gestured to him with his chin.

Lei Xuanqing walked up to them in a few steps, greeted Yu Yao and the others, and then said, "Let's go, come to my office and rest for a while?"

Chi Heng did not refuse.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiwu and Duan Yifeng's group wisely took their leave.

......

Lei Xuanqing's office wasn't very big, but it could still seat Yu Yao and a few others.

After everyone was seated, Lei Xuanqing suddenly asked Chi Heng a question.

"Old Chi, tell me the truth, do you have anything to do with the Sang family and the Wen family?"

Chi Heng's brow twitched, and he immediately nodded.

"Have."

Lei Xuanqing sighed deeply after hearing this.

"I knew it."

"how?"

"Wen Baijing, the eldest son of the Wen family patriarch in Kyoto, is now the base commander of the Southern Base. After hearing about the Wen family's affairs, he demanded that the Kyoto Base hand you over immediately. Otherwise, they will take matters into their own hands and attack Thousand Soul Mountain."

Dongfang Jin frowned. "He still thinks he's right?"

Lei Xuanqing slammed his fist on the table. "Absolutely! And he specifically named you, saying it was definitely you who did it!"

Jiang Yi was surprised: "So capable?"

Chi Heng said, "It's not that they're capable, it's that no matter who did it, they're determined to pin the blame on us."

Yu Yao looked at Chi Heng and asked, "What does the main family in Nan Province mean? Or what does He'an mean?"

"Most likely."

Luo Mei clicked her tongue, "So they're going to be straightforward with us now!"

Lei Xuanqing was somewhat puzzled, "The main family in Nan Province? The Wen family from Nan Province?"

Dongfang Jin nodded and explained, "The Wen family in Kyoto helped He'an at the behest of our main family, so our main family must have connections with He'an. These people in our group have become mortal enemies with He'an, and they will definitely try to deal with us. So regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with us or whether this matter actually happened, they will find a way to cause trouble and seize the moral high ground first."

Lei Xuanqing's expression turned somewhat grim. "They're far too naive! Even if you admit it, so what? What time is it now?"

"Maybe they want to test the waters? To see if the Thousand Soul Mountain base can withstand a fight!" Dongfang Jin said quietly.

Chi Heng added, "Or, they want Thousand Soul Mountain."

Lei Xuanqing nodded. "Yes, he mentioned it many times, saying that it's not safe for Kyoto to have a base like yours behind it. He's trying to use our base to take back Thousand Soul Mountain."

Jiang Yi pursed her lips.

"Let them be greedy to death!"

Lei Xuanqing said to Chi Heng, "Don't worry, with the Kyoto base here, they won't dare to cross over and do anything to you."

Chi Heng shook his head. "No, you don't need to worry about it."

Lei Xuanqing was stunned.

"What?"

Let them fight!

Lei Xuanqing frowned, staring intently at Chi Heng.

He asked, still relatively calmly, "Are you crazy?"

"of course not."

"Then what's wrong with you!" Lei Yuanqing stared, unusually serious.

"To make an example of someone."

"..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. You must not interfere."

Lei Xuanqing glared at Chi Heng for a long time before finally letting out a snort.

"Whatever you want!"

Chi Heng patiently explained, "It's really nothing."

"Alright, alright, whatever you want." Lei Xuanqing paused for a moment, then continued, "There's something else, did you know? The Southern Province base has been renamed the Wennan Base?"

Dongfang Jin responded with a "Hmm?".

"Wennan Base? The Wen family's southern province? They're not even bothering to hide it anymore?"

Qi Xian asked in confusion, "Did they go back?"

He was referring to the Wen family in the southern province.

When Chi Heng learned that Wen Chengyang had harmed him, he went back to the Wen family's ancestral home and base in Nan Province to look for the Wen family members.

Unfortunately, they've already run away.

Yu Yao said, "I'll have Mo Li go and take a look."

Chi Heng said, "I'll go with him."

Yu Yao disagreed, "Aren't you afraid this is a trap?"

"It's a trap."

Lei Xuanqing: "...You're a madman!"

Yu Yao turned her head to look at Chi Heng, her eyes calm.

"I'll go as well."

Qi Xian simply stood up and said, "Then let's go together! They want us to dance! Let's dance for them."

The people of He'an aren't stupid; they're the kind of people in the entire Kyoto base who could wipe out the Wen family overnight.

Only the Lingxi Team.

The relationship between He'an and the Wen family of Nan Province must have been exposed to the Lingxi team.

Their sudden name change at this time must have had its reasons.

For example, lead the Spirit Rhinoceros Team to investigate!

Perhaps we can wipe them all out, or perhaps we can take away some of the fighting strength of Thousand Soul Mountain.

In short, as long as they are curious, they will fall into the trap set by the other party.

An obvious trap.

Lei Xuanqing: "..."

A bunch of lunatics!

"Calm down, your base is still being targeted!"

Dongfang Jin smiled and reassured her, "With Pingjing here, that's enough."

Lei Xuanqing: "..."

Chi Heng thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "No, Xiao Qi and I aren't going."

......

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Kyoto.

Nie Zhuoying had just led her men to clear out the surrounding zombies to prevent them from gathering in the Kyoto area and causing damage to the base.

The team found an apartment building to rest, and then they heard the roar of cars outside.

And the sound of large groups of zombies gathering, running, and chasing each other.

Nie Zhuoying's brow twitched, and she quickly got up and looked out the window.

I just happened to see a woman being ruthlessly pushed out of a speeding SUV to attract zombies.

The car was quickly pulled open by the people inside and sped away!

Nie Zhuoying's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Without thinking, she jumped out of the window and rushed towards the woman who was about to be overwhelmed by zombies.

Seeing this, his teammates quickly followed and attacked the approaching zombies.

Nie Zhuoying's silver spear flew out, piercing through a zombie that was about to pounce on the woman, and sending it flying backward.

It also knocked down a bunch of zombies in the process.

He took the opportunity to get to the woman's side, grabbed her, and threw her toward his teammates who were not far away.

Then he gripped the spear, its tip igniting with scorching flames, and swept it across the surrounding zombies with terrifying power.

......

A dozen minutes later, all the zombies were cleared away.

The woman he saved also came forward with eyes full of admiration to express her gratitude.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would already be... already..."

She choked up a little, her pale and beautiful face showing lingering fear and terror.

Nie Zhuoying glanced at her calmly.

"You're welcome, it's our duty."

The woman looked at Nie Zhuoying and suddenly smiled.

"Then you are my savior too. My name is Feng He. What's your name?"

......
