Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 25: Clean up the battlefield

   Jiang Baimian played with the badge and put his left index finger to a certain position on the chip.

   Vaguely, there seems to be an electric current that is so small that it cannot be detected.

   A few seconds later, Jiang Baimian retracted his finger, smiled and said:

   "Still an'official hunter'."

   "Official Hunter" is a name within the Hunter Guild, derived from their division of relic hunters.

   This division, at least on the surface, has nothing to do with strength. It relies on the so-called credit points. After all, the original intention of the Hunter Guild was to help everyone better exchange information and resources, rather than to provide a channel for growth.

   In the matter of transactions, credit is more important than strength.

   Therefore, the original president of the Hunter Guild took inspiration from some information in the old world and designed a credit scoring system:

After    relic hunters join the guild, they can earn different amounts of credits by completing commissions, trading with others, and providing reliable information to the guild, and this does not conflict with their rewards, and the two are in a parallel and superimposed relationship.

   When the credit points are accumulated to 100, "Novice Hunter" can become "Official Hunter". "Official Hunter" also includes "Intermediate Hunter", "Senior Hunter", "Advanced Hunter" and "Master Hunter", and these are all fed by missions and trades. Of course, if you are at a level If you don’t have enough credit points, you won’t be able to receive many tasks, you can’t participate in many transactions, and others won’t believe you unless you can find one or several high-credit hunters as a guarantee.

Therefore, it is not unacceptable that "novice hunters" are stronger than "advanced hunters" and "master hunters", but from another perspective, they can complete so many tasks and transactions on dangerous dust. Still alive and accumulating enough credit points can explain a lot of problems in itself-those "senior hunters" and "master hunters" are always outstanding in strength, team power and resources.

  In other words, those with low credit scores are not necessarily weak, but those with high credit scores must be strong, at least in certain areas.

   Based on the emphasis on credit points, the "Hunter Guild" has been cracking down on breaches, violations, fraud, and dishonest transactions. Once discovered, the corresponding credit points will be deducted immediately and the specific circumstances of the untrustworthy behavior will be marked in the badge chip. If the problem in this area is serious, the guild will even expel the target’s membership and let him be blacklisted everywhere-this is generally called a "dark hunter". Of course, because there is no communication network spreading over the dust, the blacklist must It may take months or even longer to spread to all clubs.

   As for whether the hunters of the relics are part-time robbers, and whether they have killed anyone, as long as it has nothing to do with the task and the transaction, the guild will not care at all.

   In addition to these, the Hunter Guild also has a title called "Chief Hunter".

   This is an honor. It depends more on seniority. There can only be one hunter branch in each region.

   These are all what Shang Jianyao learned in class and training, so he was not curious about the term "formal hunter" at all, but he still looked at Jiang Baimian, watching carefully, and did not speak.

   Jiang Baimian looked down at himself, suddenly laughed:

   "You are wondering why I can read the contents of the Hunter badge chip?"

   This can only be read out by special machines in the local branches.

   Shang Jian Yao nodded immediately, without making a cover.

   Jiang Baimian raised his left arm and said:

  "Since it is an electric eel-type biological prosthesis, it is also very reasonable to install a simple chip, sensor, data transmission line and other supporting items that require electricity.

   "It is not too difficult to read the contents of the chip, um, it is very difficult to erase and rewrite. This is the special chip and special machine purchased by the Hunter Guild from the "Machinery Paradise". The technical content is not low."

   Shang saw Yao suddenly realized, and immediately asked curiously:

   "Nowadays, biological prosthetics are beginning to match electronic and mechanical things?"

"Our philosophy is that it works. Moreover, the intersection of biology, electronics, and machinery itself is also the focus of research. Just like many major forces are trying to combine exoskeleton devices and bionic smart armor to make a truly practical power armor. "Jiang Baimian explained indifferently.

   Suddenly, she said "Oh".

   Shang Jian Yao's hand was immediately placed on the grip of "Ice Moss".

   "Haha, squatting for too long, my legs are a bit numb." Jiang Baimian stood up uncomfortably and moved her legs, her pony tail shook behind her.

   When Shang Jian Yao also got up, she said:

   "This task is a bit strange. Collecting information on a specific person in the black marsh wilderness is like casting a net into the sea and catching a specific fish."

   Shang Jian Yao quickly responded:

   "Have you seen the sea?"

   "...This is not the point." Jiang Baimian poohed, "At least I have seen a real lake. The sea should be much wider than that."

   Shang Jianyao ignored Jiang Baimian’s answer and took on the previous topic:

   "Maybe this task is not just for a hunter."

   "Yes, Guangsan." Jiang Baimian agreed.

   After finishing speaking, she and Shang Jianyao sighed in unison:

   "So rich!"

   can get all those who provide effective information to get paid, and there is absolutely more than a ton of flour that needs to be prepared.

   Jiang Baimian cast his gaze to the depths of the swamp, which is north of Yuelu Station, and muttered to himself in confusion:

   "What the **** is that guy?

   "It deserves so much attention..."

   At this time, Bai Chen completed the repair, sat in the driver's seat, and tried to start the jeep.

   The noisy voice sounded, even Shang Jian Yao could hear that it was not normal.

  Bai Chen put his head out of the window and said loudly to Jiang Baimian:

   "The back is also damaged, and many places are damaged. I can barely drive now, but I can't get up the speed, and I'm not sure when it will completely break down."

   "Can you fix it well?" Jiang Baimian asked seriously.

  Bai Chen shook his head:

  "No, but the key parts are missing.

   "Group leader, I remember that there is a settlement of vagrants in the wilderness not far away. It only takes two or three hours to arrive. Why don't we go around and see if we can exchange what we need?

   "Even if the Jeep breaks down halfway, I can ride that motorcycle to rush over and come back."

   She pointed to a heavy motorcycle that was still in good condition.

   Another vehicle was damaged in the previous explosion, leaving only a pile of scrap steel and iron.

   Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds:

"it is good."

  Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao immediately checked the remaining two bodies, and finally obtained:

   A lightly damaged heavy motorcycle, two micro submachine guns, some submachine gun bullets, some useful parts from the motorcycle wreck, half a loaf of bread, and a few cigarettes wrapped directly in toasted tobacco leaves.

   And on the former man, they also got a "torrential rain" submachine gun.

   Long Yuehong wore an exoskeleton device and carried the light machine gun back.

   "These three submachine guns use 9mm bullets, which are common types. We have prepared a lot!" Jiang Baimian said happily after distinguishing a little.

   Then, she looked at the light machine gun and sighed with regret:

  "7.92mm bullets, this is temporarily useless.

   "Let's put it in the car first, you can trade it later, or bring it back to the company."

   "This is in the trunk and there is no place to put the exoskeleton device." Bai Chen frowned slightly.

   Their trunks contain cans, biscuits, bullets, filter chips and other things.

   "The exoskeleton device is placed in the passenger, everyone takes turns riding heavy motorcycles, and three people can also squeeze the back seat, it's spacious." Jiang Baimian said casually.

  Bai Chen gave a "um":

   "That heavy motorcycle needs fuel. We may not be able to supply it. We will try to trade it when we can trade it."

   Jiang Baimian did not respond directly, looking around and saying:

  "Okay, everyone spread out and pick up the bullet shells that you can see. This is a strategic resource.

   "Long Yuehong, you can take off the exoskeleton device to save some power. We only brought a spare high-performance battery this time, so be careful."

   As for the solar charging panel on the roof, it can also charge the Jeep once a day.

   "Yes, team leader!" Just after Long Yuehong answered, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and pointed at the roadside, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "What about it?"

   He was talking about the huge corpse of the black marsh iron snake.

   Jiang Baimian's beautiful and heroic eyebrows twisted:

   "This can't be moved...

  "The meat is not needed. This kind of creatures that have been mutated due to pollution are not really uneaten. It is best not to eat their meat.

  "The poison sac in the mouth can't be taken. We don't have a sealing device, and the liquid inside is easy to volatilize. When the time comes, the black marsh iron snake will succeed in revenge without knowing it.

"Peel off that layer of skin, you should be able to take it away, um, fold it up and tie it to the roof of the car. This is an excellent biomaterial. The'Research Department' definitely likes it. They have been making similar bionic armor before. .

   "Long Yuehong, you wear an exoskeleton device to deal with it in the past. Its helmet has anti-virus effect, and if I remember correctly, it should have the auxiliary function of high temperature cutting. Remember, start from the eyes and mouth."

   After a quarter of busy hour, Long Yuehong, with the help of Shang Jianyao wearing a gas mask, peeled off the skin of the mutant python.

   This thing was folded once, then wrapped up, tied to the roof of the jeep, and fixed with a rope and a solar charging plate holder.

   "Huh, get it done." Jiang Baimian patted his hands, watching Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao put the exoskeleton device in the passenger's side.

   "How to deal with this?" She pointed to three corpses not far away, "Do you want to peel off the clothes?"

   This is also a hard currency on the dust, only slightly inferior to food and arms.

   Before Bai Chen and Long Yuehong gave their opinions, Shang Jian Yao spoke first with a serious expression:

   "Sink into the swamp."

   Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully:

"it is good."
