Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 166
After a simple disguise, Chen Entropy took the train to the Huanglian District, and when he got off the train, he felt that the atmosphere here became more desolate than before.

The shops and B&Bs on the side of the street were already abandoned one after another due to frequent wild animal attacks, and the riots that happened a few days ago made this place even more deserted.However, these houses have now been transformed into temporary barracks and dormitories, and heavily armed soldiers can often be seen entering and leaving the houses, patrolling the streets together with armored vehicles.

"Stop, little guy! This is the territory of our expeditionary army!" A soldier hurried forward to stop after seeing Chen Entropy.

"I signed up for the conscription a few days ago, and I'm enlisting today." Chen Entropy bowed respectfully, and handed the document sent to him by the conscription interviewer to the soldier.

The soldier glanced at the document in Chen Entropy's hands, and then reprimanded pretending to be majestic: "Why are you just now reporting, you recruit?"

"Sorry, sir..." Chen Entropy lowered his head pretending to apologize.

"Remember to call me sir!" The soldier directly swung his arm equipped with a mechanical exoskeleton, and slapped Chen Entropy on the shoulder.

Chen Entropy felt a pain in his shoulder, and the huge force almost dislocated his shoulder joint.But he still nodded with a smile on his face, and said:

"Yes, sir!"

After bullying the new "militiaman", the soldier seemed to have lost interest, and directly pointed Chen Entropy to the direction of the recruit office, and sent him away.

After Chen Entropy came to the recruitment office, an officer gave him a military supply backpack.Chen Entropy opened the backpack and checked it. In addition to a small amount of emergency dry food, two obviously obsolete firearms and a bulletproof vest, there was also a smart bracelet of unknown significance.

"Your team organization is No. 404 squad. The recruit meeting will start soon, so hurry up and report to your chief!" The officer at the report office told Chen Entropy.

After Chen Entropy walked out of the report office, he didn't go to report to the army as soon as possible. Instead, he randomly found an empty corner and took a photo of the bracelet for Hekalis to see.

"Let me take a look at this bracelet~" Hekalisi sent a text message soon:
"Oh, this thing is used for positioning, and it is the kind of design that will be locked once it is worn on the hand. Unless it is operated from the authorization port, the wearer cannot remove it voluntarily. Wait, on the bracelet It also has a self-destruct device, which should prevent you from disobedience or mutiny."

Chen Entropy nodded, expressing his understanding: "Sure enough, although the chaebol's army recruited civilians to expand their strength with great fanfare, they actually don't trust us at all."

"But think about it better, at least you didn't just put on the bracelet like a fool, but informed me in advance~" Hekalis laughed.

"If I were stupid, I would have played myself to death." Chen Entropy asked: "Then can you crack the positioning program in the bracelet?"

"It takes more time for my mother to disassemble a courier than to crack this thing." Hekalisi replied confidently:

"Not only can I crack it, but I can also modify its positioning at will."

"That's really great~" Chen Entropy put the positioning bracelet next to the phone, and said: "Then please help me crack it."

After Chen Entropy walked for a while in the direction of the Abyss Bar, he soon saw a 50-man army, which seemed to be holding a meeting.

The members of this unit were wearing the same type of body armor that Chen Entropy had obtained from the recruiting office. Their standing posture and formation were all visible to the naked eye. They were obviously civilian recruits who had been summoned like Chen Entropy.

An officer with a half mechanical face was standing in front of them, speaking to them seriously:
"I don't care what you recruits did before, or how capable you are outside! When you come to our Abyss Expeditionary Army, you must learn to obey orders and listen to the commander! All the regular soldiers here are your best role models. Listen! understand?!"

"Understood," the civilian recruits replied feebly.

"No energy! I can't hear you! Louder!" The cyborg officer suddenly showed King Kong's angry look, and shouted: "You still want to join our Abyss Expeditionary Army in such a low voice?!"

These civilian recruits suddenly showed an impatient look, and a few recruits standing in the back row even spat on the ground in disdain.After all, most of the people who came to join the expeditionary army were professional mercenaries and killers before. They were arrogant and would shoot at anyone who was upset. They had never experienced the feeling of being militarized.

But for the high salary promised by the expeditionary force, they still suppressed their unhappiness and shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"Good! Very energetic!" The cyborg officer nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes fell on Chen Entropy.

"Hi sir, my name is Chen Rui, and I'm about to join the 404 team as a recruit." Chen Entropy gave a military salute and introduced himself respectfully.

"Chen Rui?" The officer glanced at the document in Chen Entropy's hand.It seems that because Chen Entropy was very polite, his serious expression suddenly eased a lot:
"Very good, now go and stand in the line!"

"Yes!" Chen Entropy silently walked to the end of the line.

He could clearly feel that someone in the team was looking at him strangely.Because compared with other people, Chen Entropy's body shape and appearance are like a child's.

"Little friend, you were sold by your family, right?" A young recruit standing next to Chen Entropy asked in a low voice.

"No, no, I am voluntary, and I am already an adult." Chen Entropy whispered: "Besides, how could the expeditionary force recruit boy scouts?"

As he said that, Chen Entropy turned his head and looked at the young recruit, only to find that the impression given by this recruit was different from that of the others present.

There was an indescribable clarity and sincerity in this young man's eyes, as if the beatings from the society had never made him succumb.At the same time, Chen Entropy could also feel the hot flames in the young man's eyes. It seemed that he was determined to do a big business, and he looked like a hero.

"My name is Luo Jie. From your name, you should be from Longmen District, right? We are fellow villagers, and we can take care of each other in the future." Maybe because he felt that the young man in front of him was destined, the recruit Luo Jie subconsciously extended his hand to Chen Entropy.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Chen Rui." Chen Entropy smiled and shook hands with Luo Jie: "I have the opportunity to take care of each other, I wish us all the best of luck~"

The recruit meeting is still going on.For the next hour, military officers and several civilian staff introduced them to the situation of the abyss and their tasks as civilian recruits.

According to the expeditionary army's tests, the abyss has a law of unknown principle, so that only living creatures with physical fitness within the category of ordinary humans can enter.As for those mutated radiation people whose physical fitness far exceeds that of humans, they cannot enter the abyss portal.

However, this rule is not valid for mechanical dead things.In other words, robots and various weapons can still enter the abyss.It is a pity that the entrance to the abyss is very small and can only accommodate a single person, so the expeditionary force can only transport heavy weapons into the abyss by moving parts and reassembling them.

Perhaps because of the previous attack by the ghoul king in the dead cemetery, the expeditionary force changed its battle plan.Their current plan is probably to move a large number of heavy weapons into the abyss in the form of disassembly and reassembly, and then cooperate with the elite troops of the "Doomsday Horn" to directly push them with firepower.

Through the unremitting efforts of the expeditionary force in the past few days, they have transported more than a dozen missile vehicles into the abyss.

As for the task of the civilian recruits like Chen Entropy, to put it bluntly, it is to explore the way ahead and die while the main force is transporting heavy firepower weapons.After all, the chaebols were not prepared to pay salaries to their mercenaries, which was much cheaper than sending detection robots in.

At the end of the meeting, the cyborg officer told everyone:
"According to the regulations, each of you must wear the wristbands issued to you by the registration office!"

"What is this bracelet for?" A recruit asked curiously.

"This is a device used to detect your physical fitness and physical condition. It is for your safety." A civil servant pushed the frame of his glasses and swore nonsense.

"If you don't put it on, get out!" the cyborg officer also yelled, showing a threatening expression to the recruits.

Hearing this, everyone put the bracelet on their wrists.After all, if it was for the high wages, they had no choice but to endure it.

Seeing that everyone was wearing positioning bracelets, the civil servant said: "Go to the dormitory to pack your personal belongings, and then follow the captain to report at the entrance of the abyss!"
