Mech infantry

Chapter 86 The Underground Arena ([-])

Under the dim light, several strippers who have lost their beauty are praising hard on the stage, trying to attract the attention of the guests as much as possible.There were not many guests, and the only few people did not cast their eyes on the stage, but drank their wine independently.

This bar is not big, and the interior decoration is also in the style of previous years. The mottled colors and old tables and chairs seem to indicate that the business of this bar is not very good.

It was almost midnight at this time, and there were only a few customers in the bar.In a remote corner, a slightly obese middle-aged man sat there alone, drinking beer after glass.

Suddenly, a generous big hand patted his shoulder heavily, almost knocking him down under the table.Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded: "Fat Mouse, long time no see."

Fat Mouse trembled, stood up hastily, didn't even look at who was coming, turned around and lowered his head, and said timidly: "I'm really short of money recently, can you give me a few more days of grace, as soon as I have money Send it to you."

With a sound of "puchi", the visitor couldn't help laughing out: "Fat Mouse, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've come back as you live."

"You are……"

Fat Mouse hurriedly looked up, and a look of surprise appeared on that round face.

"Squad Leader Hong, why are you here?"

It was Hong Tie who came, he laughed, and sat down with Fat Mouse.He unceremoniously picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a full glass, while drinking, he said, "I have something to ask you this time, but it's a pity that your communicator can't get through. One day, someone told me that I can find you here. But it seems that you are not doing well."

Fat Mouse glanced at his old clothes, unconsciously covered a stain with his hands, and said with a wry smile, "It's difficult. If I had known that I would be like this, I wouldn't have applied to leave the army." Then, Fat Mouse saw the young man standing behind Hong Tie, and asked curiously, "Is this the recruit you brought?"

"I've stopped taking recruits for a long time." Hong Tie drank the beer in the glass in one breath, then snarled, "What kind of stuff is this, it's really bad... Yunyi, go get some good bottles of wine , Brother Fat Mouse and I haven’t seen each other for several years, so naturally we have to get together. By the way, remember how much it costs, and ask the old principal to reimburse you when you go back.”

Yun Yi responded, turned around and walked towards the bar selling wine.

Hong Tie looked at Yunyi's back, and said to Fat Mouse: "This time I am training for the participating students of the School of Economics and Trade. This kid is called Yunyi, and he is very good in terms of talent and strength. I came to you this time to let He follows you and trains well here."

"What! You are such a lunatic!" Fat Mouse exclaimed, "This guy is just a student, and you would think of using this place to train mechs to fight. Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

"Danger?"

Hong Tie snorted, and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid this kid has experienced more danger than here. Let's not talk about these, in a word, do you want to help or not."

Fat Mouse was silent for a while, with a perplexed face, and said, "How is his strength? You may not know that the five fighters who followed me some time ago all encountered masters in the competition. Two died on the spot, and the other After the two failed, they should have been scared and left here directly. Now I only have one warrior who is only eighth level in martial arts, and his combat ability is not very good. It’s almost too poor to take over the pot. If his game is not exciting enough, we won’t even earn back the appearance fee. And... you are not afraid of any accidents with him, how can you explain to the school?”

"You don't have to worry about these, I can still trust his ability. As for accidents..." Hong Tie looked at Fat Mouse with a smile, and said, "As long as you take care of yourself, don't arrange some perverted guys for him. There will be no problem."

Just as he was talking, Yun Yi had already returned with several bottles of good wine.Hong Tie grabbed it and poured a cup for Fat Mouse and himself.Fat Mouse smelled the aroma of wine escaping from the cup in front of him, licked his tongue, and said helplessly, "Okay, I promise you. However, if he doesn't even earn his appearance fee back, you can compensate me for it." loss."

Hong Tie rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "No problem, this is what it should be. But I also have a condition, if the battle he participates in earns more than the appearance fee, we will share [-]% of the excess profit."

"Haha, that's good. I'm sure I won't lose money, and Squad Leader Hong really takes care of my little brother." Fat Mouse's face immediately relaxed, and he pulled Hong Tie to start drinking. While drinking, he recalled his time in the army. They seemed to be having a great time chatting.

Yun Yi didn't drink, but ordered a cup of tea and listened to the conversation between the two.Looking at that wretched face and looking extremely down-and-out, can you really rely on him?
Before coming here, Yun Yi never imagined that the training venue proposed by Hong Tie turned out to be the notorious underground mecha arena in the Chu and Tang Empires.

In the underground arena full of violence, blood and killing, most of the people who come here to participate in the competition are desperate people, such as bankrupts, fugitives, retired soldiers, etc., and most of these people are not from the Chu and Tang Empire. people.For example, some people who were regarded as first-class masters in other small countries came to Chutang to seek a better life, but because the competition here was too fierce and went bankrupt, they had no choice but to go to the underground arena.

And more are those who can't get along in other countries.For example, criminals, or those who have offended some powerful local forces.All in all, those who are willing to participate in the battle here are a group of real lunatics.In this kind of fighting game where killing is not taboo, their lives may be threatened every time they fight.And under such tremendous pressure, many people can't maintain normal, and drink and use drugs every day to relieve the pressure in their hearts.And when the pressure is too great, he can only find relief and release by torturing his opponents on the battlefield.

After Hong Tie told him these things, he didn't force him, but just let him choose.To this, Yun Yi did not refuse, and agreed almost without thinking.In his opinion, even if he can't beat his opponent, based on the experience he gained from fighting in the base, he should have no problem protecting himself in battle.

He didn't tell Zhao Xiyue about this, he just told her to go to another planet for training for a while.And after getting Lin Moxue's consent, he sent Zhao Xiyue to Lin Moxue's four-star house in Chang'an, asking her to take care of her for a while.

Before leaving, seeing the tearful and reluctant look on the little girl's face, Yun Yi was so moved that she almost didn't want to go, but was dragged away by Hong Tiesheng in the end.

I don't know how the little girl is doing in an unfamiliar environment, will she not be able to sleep at night?But what's the use of worrying, Yun Yi shook his head, seeing that the conversation between Hong Tie and Fat Mouse was in full swing, very speculative, it seemed that the meeting would not end anytime soon.

Bored, he took out the "Star Thorn" from his bag under the dim light and studied it carefully.

Yun Yi, who was obsessed with combat skills, even the slightly noisy environment around him couldn't affect him.I don't know how long it has been.When he heard Hong Tie calling him with a flushed face and reeking of alcohol, he raised his head blankly.

I don't know what time it is, the bar is quiet, there is no one on the stage, and there are only two or three guests, and most of them are ready to leave.

And that fat rat who looked wretched didn't know when he left.

Putting "Star Thorn" back into the bag carefully, Yun Yi followed Hong Tie back to the hotel room where they lived.

Seeing Hong Tie who was humming and seemed very happy, Yun Yi plucked up his courage and asked, "Instructor Hong, is that guy named Fat Mouse really reliable?"
