Chapter 38
When Lingcun came out of the union hall, he had already accepted several quests.
Task rewards range from $00 to $00. Almost all of them are tasks to explore the ruins and map the area.
These quests are currently recorded in Zero's intelligent chip and are currently pending.
The advantage of an intelligent chip is to record the number of tasks, difficulty and completion of the owner's license.
Even in other companies or bases, where Parkland's license may not be recognised, the data in the chip is enough to show zero power.
With the accumulation of quests and difficulty, Zero could be used as a basis to raise the level of the license in other unions and receive a greater profit as well as a more dangerous task.
He left the administrative area and returned to the temporary parking area.
Zero could hear the shouts and screams from the encampment from a distance. The scream quivered Zero's heart.
It was Leah's voice!
Zero's expression immediately darkened and increased his speed slightly, walking towards the encampment at a constant pace.
At the station, Zion and a few men were sprawled on the ground.
Their bruises and swollen faces made Zero realize that they must have suffered a severe beating.
Lia was being pulled by several other men, and judging from the clothing, she must have been a resident of Remutt.
Lala (the golden insect cub, named for its cries) was chewing on the arm of a big white man with its toothless mouth, and in the next moment the little guy was flung away impatiently.
A golden-haired man who looked like a leader stood to the side. He had a disdainful smile on his face as he said, "Take this girl away. I didn't expect that there would be such a good person among the refugees. Those old men are going to be in trouble again."
"Let her go!"
Teddy shouted, and the thin young man was being held down by a bear of a black man with one hand pressed to his face.
Teddy punched and kicked, but there was nothing he could do.
After looking at all of this, he knew what he should do.
Ye Zichen kicked the ground with his toes. The second stage of Agility allowed him to arrive beside the golden-haired man like the wind.
At that moment, the blond man realized that something was amiss.
His reaction was quick as well. He took out the dagger that was stabbed into his waist and slashed it backwards.
But Zero was faster than him.
He tilted his head back and the propelled kinetic energy slid past his opponent's dagger with zero points.
Zero grabbed the other man's dagger-wielding hand. Suddenly, he bent his body and threw the blond man to the ground with a shoulder throw.
He grabbed his opponent's arm and twisted it, causing the blond man to let out a miserable shriek as the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
With a kick to the back, he could easily crush the man's spine with just a little bit of force.
This series of actions was completed with a flick of his finger. When the golden-haired man was completely suppressed by Zero, his subordinates finally reacted.
The men who had caught Leah let her go and fished out daggers and guns.
The black man who was pressing down on Teddy's face cursed and stood up to surround Zero.
"Let me go, boy."
Do you know what you're doing? '
The golden-haired man, who was being pressed down by his body, shouted angrily, "In Remutt, if you offend me, Claude, I will make you wish you were dead."
It was very quiet, but the force of his knee increased a little.
However, the concentrated force pressed down on Claude's spinal nerves, making him feel as if hundreds and thousands of needles were stabbing into his body, making him feel extreme pain.
"If you want to die, then just continue the nonsense."
There was no change in Zero's voice at all. It was so calm that it would cause one's heart to turn cold.
His knees slowly increased in strength, letting Claude fully feel the process of his spine being squeezed bit by bit.
The golden-haired man finally realized that the other party wasn't someone who could be easily intimidated with just a few harsh words.
"What do you want?"
Claude shouted.
"Get your men to leave, and don't step even half a foot into this encampment."
Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will kill you. "
As Zero spoke, he exerted force in his hand and broke Claude's index finger.
Claude shouted like a pig being slaughtered. "Let's go, we're leaving now."
Zero nodded, let go of the blond man's hand, and stepped away from him.
As soon as he stood up, that bear like muscular man charged over while roaring loudly.
However, at some point, a revolver was placed on his forehead.
Zero looked at him coldly. There was no emotion in his eyes. The big man believed that he could pull the trigger anytime he wanted.
"All of you, stop right now!"
A loud roar sounded from outside the encampment, and Zero kept his shooting posture as he glanced towards the outside of the encampment from the corner of his eye.
It was a team of soldiers in charge of maintaining the peace. The security officer was a man with a moustache. He pointed at Zero and Claude and said, "The base prohibits all fighting, take them all away!"
Zero narrowed his eyes. He had clearly arrived. Claude's lips curled up in a malicious smile.
It's not new that the local snakes and the sheriff are working together, but if you go with them.
As a result, Claude continued to swagger around, living a carefree life.
However, Ling Wuxie had almost lost her fortune in prison and was on the verge of losing her life.
"I refuse."
Zero said calmly, "They were the ones who started the trouble first.
Or is that how Remutt treats outsiders? "
"Kid, you dare to resist arrest?"
The magistrate sneered. He waved his hand and the five soldiers behind him pointed their guns at Zero.
Zero shook his head. "Don't force me to kill him."
What he said was the truth. The five ordinary soldiers who had not undergone any strengthening were no match for zero.
The speed of the zero-reaction nerve was about four times faster than theirs, so it was possible to judge the shooting time and trajectory by the opponent's minute movements.
As long as the first round missed, the second order Agility would be enough to knock them all down before the second round began.
Unfortunately, his honest words were rudely provocative to the Sheriff's ears.
The magistrate raised his hand high up in the air, and Zero's toes started jumping up and down at a constant speed, ready to dodge and counterattack at any moment.
Just as the two sides were at a deadlock, another voice interjected, "All of you, stop."
It was a middle-aged man wearing a formal suit. His long silvery-gray hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth forehead.
The rimless glasses gently fell between his nose and his nose, blurring the outline of the man with the eyes. It also added to his scholarly aura.
With a black walking stick in his hand, the gentleman strode towards the encampment.
The magistrate respectfully greeted him: "Dean Sean, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have seen this funny scene."
The man named Sean looked at Zero and said, "You are quite bold, daring to challenge Remnant Dream's official power."
"I just think I didn't do anything wrong."
He was not moved by the other party's status.
In his eyes, he was just a high-ranking official.
Nodding his head, Sean said to the security officer, "All of you can leave. Also, Claude, if I see you selling female slaves, I will personally send you out of Remutt."
"Heh, there won't be a next time, Honorable Sean."
Claude bowed, waved his hands, and left with his subordinates in dejection.
The magistrate seemed unwilling. He said in a low voice, "Chairman Sean, this kid clearly doesn't think much of us. How can we let him off so easily?"
Shane had a faint smile on his face as he lowered his head and said to the magistrate, "Don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and Claude. If it wasn't for your uncle, who represents the association, I would have protected you."
"Believe me, you are no longer in this position."
The magistrate quickly lowered his head and left with his soldiers while wiping his sweat.
Lingcun kept his gun silently, but without a single glance at Sean, he turned around and walked away.
It was probably the only time in his life he had been ignored.
He didn't mind at all. He turned his walking stick and walked into the encampment. He said to Teddy and the others, "I'm really sorry. I left you with a bad impression of Remnant."
I'm Deputy Chairman Sheehan of Special Agent Rem. I'll take care of this matter myself, and I promise to give you a reasonable explanation. "
In Remtrie, the chairman of the union was no doubt a big shot.
Though Shane was only vice chairman, the second chair was clearly not something Teddy and the others could make friends with on a regular basis.
Now that he had apologized to them personally, they were even more flattered.
But Zero did not seem to hear Sean's words. He just helped Lea, picked up the little beast, and prepared to return to the tent.
Sean rubbed his nose, shook his head and asked, "Are you a mercenary?"
"I have a mission for you."
"I've taken enough on."
Zero finally stopped.
"Heh, my quest hasn't been published in the union's task bar."
Sean laughed.
Zero turned around and asked, "What about the reward?"
"This is an Advanced Quest, and the remuneration depends on the completion of the Quest." (TL: The Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quest, Quests)
All I can tell you is that the minimum wage is 500 yuan. "
Theon's smile widened, for he knew that he had aroused zero interest.
As soon as he came out of the union, he knew that Zero had taken on several tasks.
From this, the mercenary was in need of money.
Zero frowned. "Why me?"
The leveling up mission was not just any single quest, it was a chain quest.
The difficulty of the mission went from low to high, and the reward was as Sean had said, depending on the completion of the mission.
This type of task is more risky the later it gets, but correspondingly, the rewards are also higher.
However, there was a strict rule that only rank 3 mercenaries or hunters were allowed to participate in these missions.
And Zero was only an beginner mercenary.
Shane shrugged and said, "Because you dare to challenge and stick to your own ideas.
People like you won't give up so easily. Advancing is perfect for you.
But more important, because you killed a butcher. "
The previous words were just his fart. Only the last sentence was enough to convince him of Sean's sincerity.
