Chapter 181 Red Name! Bounty Mission!

  Chapter 181 Red Name! Bounty Mission!

  Noisy electric current sound——

  ”Hello everyone, this is the Voice of Boulder City. Before broadcasting the planting techniques of Kamm trees and the scavengers’ way to wealth, please allow me to interrupt and broadcast a piece of news that we are happy to hear.”

  ”Just to our north, near the Garden Street subway station on the edge of the fifth ring road in Qingquan City, our Captain Pritt led his Black Snake Mercenary Group and finally swung the butcher knife at that group of northern suburban rednecks.”

  ”Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it’s really tragic. At the same time when the rednecks lit the gunpowder barrels and blew the Gnawers into the sky, our despicable Captain Pritt opened fire. Without even saying hello, those people fell like frosted green wheat. Those poor guys have been working hard for a week for the treasure hidden under the subway. Now not only has the treasure become someone else’s wedding dress, but they have even lost their lives!”

  ”This once again shows how important it is to choose a reliable bodyguard to ensure your safety! Unfortunately, there are no reliable military contractors to recommend today because no one is paying for it! However, although there are no military contractors to recommend, this channel has specially launched a prize-winning guessing session!”

  ”1. What good things are hidden under the Garden Street subway station?”

  ”2. How many people did Captain Pritt kill in total?”

  ”3. How many casualties did the Black Snake Mercenary Group suffer?”

  ”The Boulder City Central Casino provides a guarantee for this bet. You only need one chip to participate in the entire bet! If you answer all three questions correctly, you will win the first prize worth a total of 100,000 chips, as well as a VIP room in the Central Casino Hotel for three nights. Those who want to get rich should act quickly! Opportunities are rare and will never come back!”

  The old radio on the bar repeatedly played the oily noise.

  The smell of burning low-quality tobacco mixed with the pungent alcohol almost blocked the throats of rookies who had just arrived here. The poles on the dance floor are always empty. Even the cheapest dancers can’t stand the filthy air here. Only drunkards occasionally go up to perform impromptu.

  This is the Two-Tailed Rat Tavern, one of the hundreds of taverns in Boulder City, and also the most inconspicuous one hidden deep in the sewer alleys.

  The customers who come in and out of this place are all mercenaries and scavengers living in nearby basements or cheap hotels. The watered-down beer sold here is very popular. You only need 1 chip to sit at the bar and forget your troubles for a whole night. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, no one can drive you away.

  Of course, if you think the taste of watered-down beer is too light, you can also choose the equally cheap industrial alcohol. Drinking a small amount will be fine, but be careful not to be picked up by other men.

  It is not ruled out that some people do it on purpose, but if you don’t have a special hobby or are ready to rob the thieves, don’t do it. There are no security guards here. The bartender is only responsible for selling alcohol, washing cups and cleaning the floor. As long as no one dies, the guards outside will not care much.

  Listening to the voice on the radio, a group of mercenaries shouted loudly, with naked envy in their words.

  ”Captain Plitt? Hahaha, this despicable guy has fallen to the point of attacking a group of scavengers!”

  ”Shh, don’t let his old acquaintances hear you. You are not the host of the Voice of Boulder City, with a big boss protecting you.”

  ”Garden Street Subway Station? A place I’ve never heard of.”

  ”No matter what it is, what good things can there be in the northern suburbs? The scavengers there would like to lick the moss off the wall!”

  ”I’ll bet 10 chips! I bet that all members of the Black Snake Mercenary Group will be unharmed!”

  ”The odds are too high, there’s no guarantee that they won’t set up a game themselves… I bet that one of them will die.”

  Although the Black Snake Mercenary Group is not the most famous in Boulder City, and their leader Plitt is by no means a top-notch warrior, it depends on who they are compared with.

  Everyone sitting here is confident enough to teach a bunch of country bumpkins who hide in the northern suburbs and eat garbage, and who can’t even get a few iron rifles together, let alone the Black Snake Mercenaries who are armed to the teeth.

  Almost no one doubts that Pritt and his brothers may lose.

  The only suspense is whether there will be casualties in the end, and what is hidden under the Garden Street subway station.

  Not only the idle people in Boulder City are curious, but Pritt’s heart is also full of curiosity.

  However, the employer did not tell him much about the details of the mission, only asking him to pay attention to the power armor in Shelter No. 117 and a black briefcase.

  Pritt actually wanted to know why the employer didn’t take them away at the time since he knew the situation inside so well, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

  However, as a hired armed, he did not have the power to say anything to the employer, and he had never even met the employer.

  So far, he has received only two things from the employer – a deposit paid by the armed broker on his behalf, and a magnetic card for opening the door.

  Maybe after this mission is successfully completed, the employer will treat him to a drink.

  He is a big boss who can afford the plane ticket.

  It would be nice if there is a chance to meet him.

  ”Teams A and B follow me and move forward. Team C will set up defenses along the street and eliminate all survivors approaching this area.”

  ”Carl will keep an eye on the building. If you find a target worth shooting, you are allowed to open fire without exposing your position.”

  ”We are only four kilometers away from their base. One power armor plus a dozen lives are enough to drive them crazy.”

  ”Quick battle, quick decision, everyone move! Quick!”

  Fifteen fragmented bodies lay crookedly on the street, falling together with the killed gnawers.

  Pritt, who reloaded his rifle, made a clear forward gesture and personally led the other three members of Team A to advance towards the bottom of the subway station.

  Knowing in advance that the other side had an intuitive awakener, Pritt deployed the three teams five hundred meters away while the survivors were setting up their formation.

  As the gunpowder barrel exploded and the survivors rushed forward with cold weapons, he immediately ordered three teams to open fire, venting the firepower in the gun barrels from three directions at the same time.

  It was almost a one-sided massacre.

  Those survivors who were fighting with the alien species with cold weapons had no power to fight back!

  Except for a few people who hid in the subway station, the rest were either shot to death or bitten to death by the gnawers.

  It was a textbook surprise attack.

  Everything went well and it was not even worth celebrating.

  Eight tactical flashlights lit up at the same time, illuminating the space in the subway station like daylight.

  The cracked concrete walls were covered with slime molds, and dust floated in the cold air, mixed with a smell of decay.

  Wherever there were gnawers, traces of mutant slime molds could be seen.

  The complex and diverse ecological environment on the wasteland provided it with a lot of nutrition, and the remains and even excrement of all organisms could become a breeding ground for its reproduction.

  There were eight people in the two teams A and B.

  Led by Captain Pritt, the group carefully advanced towards Shelter No. 117, with flames spurting out of their guns from time to time, harvesting the few gnawers that blocked the road.

  Thanks to the efforts of these survivors for several consecutive days, they pushed through the security checkpoint to the edge of the platform with almost no effort.

  The carriages were crookedly squeezed together, almost blocking the tunnel. It can be seen that a serious traffic accident seemed to have occurred here.

  However, what happened more than two hundred years ago has nothing to do with Pritt and others.

  The entrance to Shelter No. 117 is in the middle of the tunnel.

  They are only the last 300 meters away from the finish line.

  Victory is in sight!

  At the same time, in the abandoned carriage that was stranded next to the platform.

  The three little players who survived by chance, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, subconsciously held their breath and dared not breathe.

  The beam of the flashlight shone into the carriage from the platform, almost sweeping across their scalps, but fortunately they did not notice it. After searching for a while, the flashlight swept towards the front of the train.

  The sudden sound of gunfire made the three little players tense.

  However, the bullet was not aimed at them, but at the Gnawer that was wandering in the front of the car.

  Along with the sound of the shell falling and the Gnawer falling to the ground, the hurried footsteps and lights stepped into the next car, and then passed through the broken car shell and stepped into the tunnel.

  Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the mole leaning on the car couldn’t help but whispered.

  ”Mosquito, what sequence are you in?”

  ”Agility!”

  ”Damn, how come you are also an agility type?”

  ”I heard that agility types run fast…”

  ”MMP, now it’s good, the three of us agility types are here, squatting in the subway like blind people,” Zhang Hai cursed, covering his butt with blood on his right hand, “Who of you has a bandage for me to use.”

  Mosquito and Mole looked at each other and looked at the newbies who had a lot of things to do.

  ”How about you just rush over and deliver it?”

  ”If you have anything valuable, leave it with me now and I’ll take it back for you.”

  Zhang Hai changed his hand and rolled his eyes.

  ”Get lost, I haven’t saved the game yet. If I die here, today’s progress will not be lost?”

  Ignoring this guy, Mosquito looked at Mole.

  ”What should we do now?”

  Mole gritted his teeth and fell into deep thought.

  ”It’s difficult… This group of people are too well-equipped, and we don’t bring good equipment with us. If we go out rashly, we will definitely die.”

  Mosquito couldn’t help but say.

  ”So we just watch them and intercept our mission?”

  Zhang Hai, who was holding his butt to stop the bleeding, suddenly said.

  ”That may not be the case.”

  The two looked at him and asked at the same time.

  ”What do you mean?”

  Zhang Hai said with a grin.

  ”I’ve been running this route for a long time, and there’s a Crawler hiding inside. I thought that guy was not easy to deal with, so I ignored it. If they go a little further, they will definitely meet it. We just need to sneak up on them and maybe we can find a loophole.”

  Mosquito’s eyes lit up, and even Mole couldn’t help but praise him.

  ”That’s a good idea.”

  However, before he finished speaking, a shrill roar came from the front of the tunnel, followed by a loud explosion.

  The three of them were stunned, and quickly half-crouched, sticking half of their heads out to look forward.

  In front of the tunnel, a raging fire was burning.

  I saw a mercenary half-crouching in the middle of the tunnel, carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, and not far in front of him was the Crawler!

  The faces of the three people changed at the same time.

  ”Damn…”

  ”Fuck, they even have a rocket launcher?!”

  Zhang Hai, who was covering his butt, was stunned and muttered.

  ”It’s over, it’s all over now.”

  If even the crawler can’t stop them –

  but at this moment, the VMs of Mosquito and Mole were shocked.

  The two hurriedly turned on the screen, and almost at the moment they looked at the screen, their faces almost simultaneously showed surprise and unbelievable surprise.

  Zhang Hai didn’t have a VM, so he curiously leaned over.

  ”What’s going on? Let me take a look… What the hell?!”

  There was a line of task pop-up windows hanging on the screen.

  [Bounty Task: Red Name Bounty]

  [Description: A group of shameless people attacked and brutally killed our companions. Their location has been marked on the map, and the image information has been updated in the task bar. Capture them, regardless of life or death! ]

  [Reward: 200 silver coins and 200 contributions for each target]

  Seeing this reward, Zhang Hai wanted to poke his eyes into the screen.

  200 silver coins! ?

  Is this the world of the strong? !

  …

  At the entrance of Huayuan Street subway station.

  Lambert, holding a light machine gun, glanced at the pile of corpses on the ground, then looked at the cold and quiet street in the distance, and took a deep breath.

  At this time, the voice of a teammate came from the communication channel.

  ”Damn… It’s too quiet here.”

  ”It’s winter after all, and it snowed a little just now.”

  ”Do you think those people will come?”

  ”Maybe, maybe not, I hope they don’t come to die. Everything is getting more expensive in this damn weather, and bullets are not cheap.”

  Lambert didn’t say anything.

  Although he agreed with this statement, it seemed impossible not to fight.

  A dozen lives.

  It’s nothing for Boulder City, but for the country guys in the northern suburbs, the death of so many young and middle-aged people is enough to make them lose their minds.

  When they retreat later, I’m afraid there will be a bloody battle.

  At this moment, Carl’s voice came from the communication channel.

  ”… Attention, Team C, a suspected hostile target is approaching you.”

  ”Direction?”

  ”To the north… no, wait… not just the north, there is also a team on the west.” Carl’s voice was a little surprised, and he continued, “They seem to be divided into groups of three or four people. You’d better be careful. These people are very organized. Although their equipment is not sophisticated, it is much better than the rookies we just cleared out.”

  ”Can you confirm the number of people?”

  ”About thirty.”

  Hearing that there were only thirty, the four members of Team C who stayed on the surface breathed a sigh of relief.

  The team leader said in the communication channel.

  ”Help us keep a close eye on them. If there are high-threat targets, take them down for us.”

  Carl replied.

  ”No problem, I’m watching, you guys be careful.”

  Only thirty.

  Although it was a little more, it did not exceed their expectations.

  The only thing that surprised Lambert was that these people responded faster than he thought.

  It is at least four kilometers from Linghu Wetland Park to here.

  With the complex traffic environment in the wasteland, unless they rushed here as soon as the gunshots were heard, it would be impossible for them to enter Carl’s field of vision so quickly.

  Mobilizing so many people in such a short time.

  How did they do it?

  …

  Lambert will never figure this out.

  Dozens of players were disconnected at once. Chu Guang felt something was wrong when the attack happened, and immediately transferred the hummingbird drone deployed at the outpost.

  Looking at the crooked corpses on the ground, Chu Guang, who was planning the relocation of Steel Plant No. 81, was furious.

  Where did this bastard come from! How

  dare you touch my ruins?

  Chu Guang threw a task mark on the map without saying a word, and set a red name bounty for all the targets tracked by the drone!

  At the same time, almost all players who were near the outpost and had VMs received a pop-up window for the bounty task.

  Almost everyone widened their eyes at the same time.

  200 silver and 200 tribute for one head!

  When the administrator issued the task, did he really not press an extra 0? !

  Shelter B2 floor, central square.

  Tail, who had just come back to life, pulled Sis and excitedly shook the VM in his hand and said.

  ”Si! Come on, look at the VM! This mission is awesome, and the name is in red! Let’s do it!”

  Sisi, who was being dragged around, looked a little listless.

  ”Awei, are you sure? We’ve only lived for a few minutes.”

  ”What does it matter? Wei feels in great shape! Si, cheer up, you’ve been sleeping for three whole days!” It’s okay to

  sleep for three days.

  Without the helmet, she didn’t know how she survived these three days. She couldn’t sleep with her eyes open at night, and felt like she was floating in the sky during the day.

  Looking at the energetic Wei, Sisi sighed and said.

  ”I’m telling you… have you made a mistake about which side is the real world?”

  Wei said nonchalantly: “It doesn’t matter! The real world is weak!”

  Sisi: “…”

  Greenhouse ruins.

  Ye Shi, who was eating dry food, suddenly jumped up as if he had discovered a new world.

  ”Fuck, Fang Chang! Look at the VM!”

  ”I saw it,” Fang Chang, who was sitting on the ground, stared at the VM screen and rubbed his chin with his right hand, lost in thought, “But it’s strange, why can NPCs also be red-named?”

  ”Is this kind of thing important? 200 silver per head.” Kuang Feng’s eyes were bright, and his right hand was already thirsty.

  ”Indeed, we can’t pretend not to see this reward… By the way,” Fang Chang looked at Ye Shi, “I remember you said in the group yesterday that when you went to the mole to watch the battle, you found someone staring at them?”

  Ye Shi scratched the back of his head.

  ”Well, I’m not sure actually, but I suddenly felt like I was being stared at by something.”

  Fang Chang was silent for a while, and suddenly nodded.

  ”Well, if my analysis is correct, maybe we may have missed a hidden branch.”

  The three of them were stunned.

  Especially Ye Shi.

  ”What, what do you mean.”

  Fang Chang thought, “Nothing, I just feel that the people who targeted you yesterday are very likely in the same group as the red-named units that attacked the mole today.”

  Ye Shi was shocked: “Damn, is this game so real?”

  ”It’s just a guess. As for what it is specifically, I’m afraid only Brother Guang knows. In short, pay more attention to such clues in the future, maybe there will be great gains.”

  As he said, Fang Chang got up from the ground, reached out to pick up the mechanical compound bow leaning against the wall, hooked his index finger on the bowstring, and gently pulled it as if warming up.

  ”Let’s go.”

  ”The hunt is about to begin.”

  During the time they were chatting, a hundred people had already accepted the task, more than half of them were LV5, and the number was still rising.

  Fortunately, half of the people on the server went to the new map.

  Otherwise, there are only these twelve targets.

  If you go too late, I’m afraid you won’t even get a bowl of soup!
