Eternal Night

Chapter 211 Super Soldier Armament
Wu Xianxiao is really weird.

He looked at the more than 40,000 tickets on the table and fell into deep thought for a moment.

He has been in Yantian City for nine days, during which he has hunted two bounty targets, namely the mine flower field and the sniper ant colony. Both are biochemical monsters that have existed in the area for a long time and have a very great influence. Both have a bounty of more than 10,000.

Logically speaking, he single-handedly dealt with three biological monsters of this level in a row, and he should have become famous. However, nine days have passed now, and he still has not received any event prompts, nor has he established an event-type shelter.

Leaving aside special types of shelters, the three major types of shelters are land and building shelters, collective organization shelters, and historical time shelters.

In the past, Wu Xianxiao thought that the first two were scum, but after meeting Hao Cheng, he realized that the first two were suitable as business-type maintenance personnel. They have various business methods and abilities, and can even speculate on land in an environment like the Castlevania world view. This kind of manipulation was really beyond his imagination, so it is not that there are no shelters for these two.

But for a lone ranger like him who doesn't even have teammates, an event-type shelter is the most suitable for him.

If he can fight, he will fight. If he can't fight, he will leave. He will come back for revenge when he is strong enough. He doesn't ask for any management. On the contrary, if he sets up a shelter for the first two, it will leave him with a very big loophole.

But this world is really too strange. He has killed three powerful biochemical beasts in a row, but he still hasn't established an event-type shelter.

"Is this world so powerful? In fact, the three biochemical beasts I killed were just small monsters in this remote area. They are not even elite monsters in this world, let alone small BOSSes?" Wu Xianxiao thought to himself.

Because he wanted to establish an event-type shelter, even though he had more than 40,000 water tickets, which were enough to buy an entire building in the city, he still chose not to buy any house, but lived in a hotel in the city center every day.

It was already dusk, so he came to the hotel restaurant, found a private room and sat down, ordered more than 20 dishes, and then played with the birds and dogs while waiting for the food to be served.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Wu Xianxiao had just ordered the dishes less than ten minutes ago. This person must not be the waiter who served the dishes. He looked unhappy, but still said, "Come in."

Sure enough, after the door was opened, three officers and a middle-aged man who looked elegant and gentle walked in.

He was very familiar with the three officers, but this middle-aged man was the first time he saw him.

Ever since he met these enthusiastic officers and got their help in hauling the fortress snail, these three officers have been pestering him since the next day, trying to get him to join the security guild, offering him various benefits and tempting him with benefits, and even having five beautiful women with different looks and figures knock on his door in a row.

This annoyed him to death.

But one should not hit a smiling person. These three officers only pestered him to join the guild. They did not say any bad words to him, nor did they threaten or attack him. It was impossible for him to kill them directly.

So now he was really annoyed when he saw these three officers. When he saw them come in, Wu Xianxiao said nothing, but just took the peanuts on the table and fed them to Jiujiu carefully. At this time, Daphne turned into a Samoyed and coiled up on the chair next to him, also eating peanuts.

Seeing this scene, the three officers did not react because they had seen Jiujiu and Daphne before. However, the elegant middle-aged man's pupils shrank slightly. He quickly controlled his expression and did not look at the birds and dogs. He walked in front of the three officers and said to Wu Xianxiao with a smile: "Mr. Wu, I heard that you hunted another ten thousand level biochemical beast yesterday. You are really a hero. I would like to thank Mr. Wu on behalf of all the people in this area."

Wu Xianxiao smiled happily, shook his head and said nothing.

The middle-aged man sat down at the other end of the round table in a familiar manner. The three officers stood behind him. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Feng Wensi, the governor of the three cities in this area of ​​the Security Guild. I am here to invite Mr. Wu to join the Security Guild."

Wu Xianxiao still had a cheerful smile on his face. He said, "You talk, I'm listening."

This casual attitude made Feng Wensi feel a little unhappy, but he was the real powerful senior executive of the organization. He also participated in the headquarters meeting and received careful instructions and conversations from the seven directors, so he patiently said: "Mr. Wu probably doesn't care about those vulgar money and power. He is a hero and doesn't like women..."

Wu Xianxiao immediately waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about? I'm a normal man, how can I not be interested in women? Don't equate being a hero with being uninterested in women. According to what you said, eunuchs are the most heroic, right? It's normal for a real man to be lustful. I like women, too, but I don't like women as 'gifts' or women with hearts."

Feng Wensi was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled and said, "We underestimated you, sir. Let's not talk about that. Judging from your actions, you are definitely a hero who understands the greater good. For the sake of this world and the people, you personally risked your life to hunt those biochemical beasts. This is truly a role model for our generation. But you should also know that what you did was just a small trick and not worthy of being on the stage."

Wu Xianxiao smiled as Feng Wensi continued, "Let me tell you about the general trend of the world."

"Eighty years have passed since the bio-beast disaster. Every twenty years, there is a bio-beast frenzy, causing the human survival territory to suffer heavy losses each time, and it is constantly shrinking."

"Today, there are only 42 million people left in the entire human race. This is the total population of the entire human race, distributed in 43 cities and 117 towns. It can be said that our human race is in imminent danger."

Feng Wensi paused when he said this, and looked carefully at Wu Xianxiao's expression. Seeing that Wu Xianxiao was still cheerful, he continued calmly and gently, "My Security Guild is responsible for the security of all mankind. Every year, no less than 10,000 soldiers sacrifice their lives, fighting on the front line for the survival of mankind. Excuse me, since Mr. Wu Xianxiao has this ability, why don't you join the great cause of protecting mankind, reviving mankind, and eliminating biochemical beasts?"

"I am here to make a promise to Mr. Wu. My guild sincerely invites Mr. Wu to come. Once he joins the guild, his military rank will start from colonel. There will be a permanent residential building for Mr. Wu in the headquarters, and there will be supporting service personnel and an auxiliary corps for Mr. Wu. At the same time, Mr. Wu will be given supervisor-level treatment in the guild organization, and we will also find a super machine for Mr. Wu. I dare to give Mr. Wu these guarantees now, and at the same time..."

“Do they pay their taxes?”

Wu Xianxiao suddenly asked with a cheerful smile.

Feng Wensi was stunned. For a moment, he didn’t know what Wu Xianxiao was going to say, but he still answered: "Yes, in order to protect mankind and revive the great cause of mankind, the people do need to pay taxes, this…"

Wu Xianxiao continued to smile and asked, "Then what are you protecting them from?"

Feng Wensi was stunned, and so were the three officers.

Wu Xianxiao pointed outside the window and said, "You need to pay taxes to enter the city. I paid taxes every time during the nine days. You also need to pay taxes every day you stay in the city. It is a heavy tax. I pay it to the Mercenary Guild, the Researcher Guild, and the Security Guild. I think your Security Guild should get the biggest share."

"Then there will be no attacks by biochemical beasts in the city, and there will be law and order. I don't know how much the tax is, but it is reasonable and justified."

"So... what about Chengshiwai?"

Wu Xianxiao was still smiling, but Feng Wensi's expression turned ugly. He probably knew what Wu Xianxiao was going to say.

As expected, Wu Xianxiao said, "The town also needs to pay taxes, but the townspeople rely on themselves to defend against biochemical beasts. You don't even have troops stationed in the town. Then there are the villages. The villages also need to pay taxes, but the villagers don't even have modern weapons. When they are attacked by any biochemical beasts, they need to rely on their own flesh and blood to resist."

"Finally, outside the wilderness, there are so many biochemical beasts, and I haven't seen you or the other two guilds go to exterminate them. Apart from your strongholds, fortresses, and some industrial factories that are not allowed to be peeped by outsiders, you don't even care about the bounty biochemical beasts wandering in the wilderness. Even if they have killed many people, you still won't send troops to exterminate them... Oh, by the way, there are exceptions to the ones that block your way, such as the fortress snail, because there is fresh water underground where it is entrenched."

Feng Wensi looked at the three officers, and all three officers shook their heads blankly, indicating that they had not said these to Wu Xianxiao.

Wu Xianxiao just smiled. He stretched out his hand and tapped the table. A thud made Feng Wensi turn his head. He continued, "So, how can you tell me that you are thanking me on behalf of the people? In fact, you can't represent anyone except yourself. You can't even represent the Security Guild." The smile on Feng Wensi's face faded and his eyes became gloomy.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care and just continued, "To put it bluntly, whether it's the Security Guild or the other two guilds, you just mastered powerful forces and formed a private organization to gather people. If you three guilds really have great ambitions, care about the people, and sincerely want to solve the current doomsday, unite all human beings under your banner, establish an organization, a system, laws, and standards, and let the capable rise and the weak fall, then maybe I will really join you."

"But in reality, what I saw were just three warlord organizations."

Wu Xianxiao lowered his eyes and stared at the table. His voice gradually became colder and colder as he said, "Your hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, right?"

Wu Xianxiao raised his head again and looked at the four people in front of him.

It was not obvious on the three officers. Although they had some resentment, it only showed up in the form of airflow. However, it was very obvious on Feng Wensi.

A large number of blurry human figures appeared and disappeared behind and around him. These human figures all looked tragic and horrible, with missing arms and legs, their bodies rotting and turning into dry bones.

After Jiujiu ate the demon spirit, her demon bloodline began to awaken, and this psychic eye was her ability, which she could also share with Wu Xianxiao, allowing him to see resentment and cause and effect.

This Feng Wensi must have killed hundreds, thousands, or even more innocent people, otherwise the karma and resentment on him would not be so heavy.

Feng Wensi was secretly awed. He didn't know why, but he felt a little cold physically and mentally. Especially when Wu Xianxiao looked at him, he felt a chill all over his body. He didn't say anything more, but stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, have you decided not to join the Security Guild?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

Feng Wensi suddenly laughed and shook his head, saying, "It seems that Mr. Wu really believes in the legend about the super soldiers, saying that the super soldiers are the saviors, that the super soldiers can bring evolution to all mankind, and that the super soldiers can eliminate the catastrophe of biochemical beasts... So it is natural that he looks down on our mere guild. Then we will take our leave. I hope that Mr. Wu can achieve his wish."

After saying that, Feng Wensi walked out of the private room without looking back. The other three officers turned pale and followed Feng Wensi out.

"I see……"

Wu Xianxiao waited until the four people left before he said to Jiujiu and Daphne, "I have never been able to set up an event-type shelter. I thought it was because this world was special. It turns out that my news was blocked by the Security Guild and even the other two guilds."

Long before Wu Xianxiao came to Yantian City, he had heard from Li Xianchun the rumor that the super soldier was the savior, but he did not think about it in that way at the time, and he was not a super soldier, but a warrior, the two were completely unrelated.

But just as Li Xianchun expected, others didn't know, so the combat power he displayed became a thorn in the eyes of the three major guilds.

The first step is to recruit him. If you can't recruit him, then the next step is to eliminate him...

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after Wu Xianxiao had breakfast, he took the bird and the dog and walked out of the city.

All his actions were monitored remotely.

At the security guild base in Yantian City, all the combat forces of the entire base are being assembled.

Five heavy tanks, sixteen armored vehicles, and five hundred fully armed elite soldiers have all been assembled.

Many officers were gathered in front of Feng Wensi, and they were watching the army in front of them from the stands.

Feng Wensi said in a cold voice: "Major Jia, the army is under your command. Set off now and immediately encircle and suppress the target after it is 50 kilometers away from the city."

Many officers saluted. Major Jia said in embarrassment: "Governor...the other side has super soldiers. Without super machines, we can't..."

Feng Wensi looked at Major Jia coldly, which made Major Jia speak lower and lower. Finally, he just shut up, his legs trembling, and he dared not say another word.

Feng Wensi then said: "A dead super soldier is not a super soldier!"

Feng Wensi said to the other officers, "Go to the team!"

These officers were as if they had been pardoned, and they all ran back to the army. Feng Wensi then said to Major Jia, "Your father is the director of the guild headquarters, and his status is equal to mine, so you are also qualified to know some information...Super soldiers are different from super machines. Once a super machine is formed, it can no longer continue to become stronger, so there is a ranking of super machines. You should know all this, but super soldiers are different. As super-evolved life forms, they need to slowly become stronger and accumulate slowly. After decades of research, we have confirmed that this accumulation is popularity or faith."

"Popularity? Faith?" Major Jia was completely confused. He suddenly felt that the whole world was so strange.

Feng Wensi sneered and said, "Why do you think the Super Soldiers would not join any organization, but instead want to accumulate reputation among the people, let the people know that they are Super Soldiers, and even call themselves saviors? It is because the more people believe in them, the more people believe that they are saviors, the faster they will become stronger!!"

"What an ungrateful bastard! Do you really think that a mere super-evolved individual is enough to fight against the system and the organization!?"

Feng Wensi clapped his hands and two young people, a man and a woman, walked out from behind his stand. They had blank expressions and dull looks on their faces. When they came in front of Feng Wensi, they saluted and then stood still.

Feng Wensi then said to Feng Wensi, "None of the three major guilds will allow the super soldiers to continue to accumulate and evolve. Although we have tried to recruit them every time, we have never succeeded. We and the Mercenary Guild will turn their corpses into super soldier weapons, and the Researcher Guild will slice them and study them to try to find the principle of their super evolution."

"In addition to super machines, super soldier armaments are also the foundation of our three major guilds! And compared to the huge size of super machines, super soldier armaments are more suitable for besieging and killing these newly born super soldiers. Do you understand?"

At this time, Feng Wensi took out a palm-sized metal box from his arms. The metal box was still shaking and trembling, as if there was a beating heart hidden inside.

Not only Feng Wensi took out the metal box, but the other two mysterious men also took out metal boxes.

The three of them said nothing and walked straight into the army.

Only Major Jia was left standing there, trembling all over.

Just when he saw the three metal boxes, he seemed to hear endless groans and wails of pain.

The sound seemed to come from hell.
