Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 39 The Rescue Mission in Tai County

A deposit of 1 yuan must be paid to accept the task. If the task cannot be completed, or is not completed within the specified time, half of the deposit will be deducted.

The missions Ning Qiu took did not limit the cultivation level of the mercenaries, but there was a note at the end of the missions. It is recommended that the number of teams for the missions should be at least five people, and it is best to have an intermediate awakener.

Generally, tasks without cultivation level restrictions can only explain two points, either the task difficulty is not very high, or the task difficulty cannot be determined.

Once the difficulty of the task is determined, some restrictions will be made according to the actual situation.

Of course Ning Qiu hopes to be the former, in this case the probability of completing it by himself is very high.

It's not that he doesn't want to recruit a few people to form a team, it's just that the missions he takes in the name of the mercenary group must all belong to the mercenary group.Although he can hire teammates out of his own pocket, he doesn't have enough money.

The mercenary group and the mercenary association are long-term partners, and both have signed contracts.

The temporarily formed mercenary team is different. Once they fail to complete the task, the deposit will not be refunded. Even if they are successfully completed, a little handling fee will be deducted from the commission.

……

……

Mission: Taixian Caravan Rescue.

Completion time: Unlimited.

Commission: 40.

After the task information, there are some simple general introductions. It is about 200 kilometers north of Nandu in a county town. A caravan entered there, but was besieged by zombies, so a mercenary team was hired to rescue it.

More than 200 kilometers, when Ning Qiu saw this distance, he felt a little headache.

At the beginning, Nanyu Town was only more than 100 kilometers away from Nandu, but it took half a day to walk. If you want to go to Tai County, it will take at least a whole day.

Most importantly, Ning Qiu had to rent an armored vehicle, so he went to the mercenary market at the north gate first.

There are mercenary markets near the four major city gates of Nandu, where you can buy many necessary items for going out, such as corpse powder and corpse powder, as well as compressed biscuits and drinking water, basic medicines, etc., and even corpse cores It's also sold here.

Ning Qiu had [-] yuan left in his funds. After buying some necessary items and food for going out of the city, he rented a worn-out armored vehicle.

"Master, is there any problem with your car? Why do I feel that it will fall apart at any time?" Ning Qiu looked at this armored car of some years, doubting whether it would be able to reach Tai County smoothly.

The driver is a master craftsman in his 50s. According to his introduction, he has been in this business since he was in his twenties and has rich experience in going out.

"Don't worry, this armored vehicle of mine is absolutely solid, even if it encounters a giant corpse, it won't be able to do anything about it." The old master patted his chest and said.

"Oh! Alright." Ning Qiu sighed, who told us to be poor.

Just this broken armored vehicle costs 1 yuan a day, and better armored vehicles cost [-] yuan a day.

The nature of this business is similar to those of taxis in the city, except that they don't run in the city, but run outside the city.

Of course, this income is also very considerable.

According to the old master, he is not a native of Nandu, but from another city. Due to the attack of zombies, he finally fled to Nandu.

In the case of being penniless, relying on his perseverance to bear hardships and stand hard work, he started a family in Nandu, and now he has two children.

No matter which city you are in, drivers are low-level jobs, especially those who go out of the city. Although their income is quite high, their status is not as good as that of taxi drivers in the city.

The old master fled to Nandu and began to hang out in the mercenary market. After accumulating several years of wealth, he bought an armored vehicle and spent another 20 years buying a house in the fifth ring area of ​​Nandu.

The master's surname is Wang, and he talked a lot along the way, and Ning Qiu also loved hearing these old stories.

"By the way, which college are you from?"

"Apocalypse."

"Oh, my two children are from the Academy of War Souls. One is in the junior grade and the other is in the middle grade. They are both very competitive and have good grades in class, so I hope they can become great awakeners like you." Master Wang smiled.

"No wonder you are still running outside at such an age." Ning Qiu said.

Whether it's Tianqi Academy or Battle Soul Academy, the tuition fees are very expensive, and ordinary families can't afford it.Fortunately, Ning Qiu and the others were sponsored by the Awakened Alliance, not only exempted from tuition fees, but also received several hundred yuan in living expenses.

"Oh! I'm old! When I was young, I ran outside every day, almost without rest. Now I can't do it anymore. I can't bear it if I run twice a month." Master Wang shook his head and sighed, as if he missed his youth very much. the past.

I have to say that Master Wang's driving skills are really good, and he knows how to judge the surrounding situation.

He told Ning Qiu that by observing the walking direction and number distribution of the zombies, it is possible to roughly infer whether there are a large number of zombies ahead.

Anyway, Ning Qiu didn't understand after listening for a long time, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind to keep his energy.

The armored vehicle focuses on defensive strength, so it looks a bit cumbersome, and it cannot be compared with the armed chariot that Ning Qiu rode before.

Coupled with the complicated road conditions outside the city, many roads were built a hundred years ago, and various roadblocks made it impossible to walk.

If Ning Qiu was asked to drive to Tai County by himself, he would definitely get lost. Even an experienced master like Master Wang would sometimes go the wrong way.

……

Jiang Ling came to the Mercenary Association, looked at the task introduction table, and then prepared to accept a three-star task, only to find that there was an unfinished task on the information of the Civilized Mercenary Corps.

She didn't pay much attention to it at first, although she was a little surprised that Ning Qiu actually accepted a two-star mission, but when he saw that mission, his expression changed.

"Didn't he check out the mission information?"

In the mercenary city, there is a profession that specializes in investigating the details of various missions. People like to call them mission intelligence officers.

They have a lot of mission information in their hands, which is more detailed than that of the Mercenary Association, and they only need to spend 2000 yuan to buy it.

Jiang Ling is a very cautious girl with a calmness beyond her peers, so before she settles on a task, she will spend some money to buy information.

In fact, Jiang Ling had seen the task Ning Qiu received half a month ago, but after learning the information, she chose to give up.

"Even if you don't want to know the information, you still have to see when the mission was first released." Jiang Ling was a little annoyed.

Is that guy a dick?

Didn't you see that this mission was first released a month ago?

There are nearly a hundred large and small mercenary regiments in Southern Metropolis, and there are countless mercenary squads that are temporarily formed every day. A two-star mission has been released for a month, but no one has completed it. This proves that This task is not an easy task, and the difficulty has even exceeded two stars.

The Mercenary Association is very unkind, that is, when they have not determined the details of the mission, they will not easily modify the difficulty of the mission and the requirements.

However, as long as anyone with a little brain can see that the rescue mission in Tai County is not that simple, it is definitely not just running to bring back the people waiting for rescue.

Jiang Ling didn't accept any more missions, but bought a mission information. She frowned, went back to Wenmingshuge to prepare some things, and then left through the north city gate.

……

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was bright and the stars were shining brightly. The whole Tai County was very quiet, but there were some strange noises from time to time.

Ning Qiu fell asleep in the car, and then a violent shaking woke him up.

"What's wrong?" He frowned.

"The front is Tai County. As far as I know, this road is the only intersection to enter Tai County in the past few years, but I found that this road is covered with corpses of zombies." Master Wang brought a night vision device, When driving at night, it is absolutely impossible to turn on the lights.

"Have you been to Taixian County before?" Ning Qiu looked at the scene outside through the one-way perspective glass. With the dim light of the moonlight, he could indeed see many zombie corpses on the road.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, although it has begun to rot and weather, it can be judged that it has been dead for less than a month at most.

"I have been here once, 20 years ago. It used to be a small safe city with a population of about 10,000+, and there were troops stationed there. Because the county is surrounded by mountains, there are many mineral resources. At that time, many big bosses came here to make money. But Later, I don’t know what happened, all the mining teams withdrew.” Master Wang said.

"All the mining teams have withdrawn, what about the people who live here?" Ning Qiu asked suddenly.

"This... I don't remember very clearly. It seems that the Southern Metropolis Awakened Alliance sent people there, but the result was nothing." Master Wang said while stroking the stubble on his chin.
