Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Chapter 139 Federal Mission

Unfortunately, the level of awakened individuals is currently too low, which means that his points are almost useless except for spending them on the system.

Accompanied by a shimmering light.

Meng Li also breathed in the familiar air, fresh... my foot!

"What the hell?"

What Meng Li inhaled into her lungs was not the familiar smell of smog, but a strong stench of blood and gunpowder.

Look outwards.

The original military camp has disappeared, replaced by a place resembling a refugee camp, where many open tents contain civilians lying inside, their fates unknown.

Inside the camp, armed soldiers patrolled and maintained order.

I just stopped.

"Greetings, Awakener. We belong to the 33rd Legion of the Blue Ocean Federation. We are facing some special circumstances outside and urgently need your help."

Upon seeing Meng Li's appearance, a soldier immediately stepped forward and said in a hurried tone.

"What's the situation now?"

Meng Li could leave immediately after activating the recall function, but he didn't know what had happened in the Federation while he was away; after thinking about it, he decided to find out the situation first.

Please come with me.

Instead of answering directly, he pointed outside and then added, "We have a special place for newly awakened individuals like you to get answers to your questions."

Led by the soldiers, Meng Li walked a few steps before arriving at the outside of a huge tent that covered an area of ​​enormous size.

Pushing open the curtain and stepping inside, there weren't many people, but they were all likely Awakened Ones. Meng Li glanced around and realized that almost everyone present was someone she knew.

Several of the people he rescued in the dungeon were here, and Lu Chenyao was among them, talking to a middle-aged man in military uniform.

After leading Meng Li in, the soldier left.

Meng Li originally intended to ask the others about their situation.

However, just then, the middle-aged man wearing glasses in the tent finished talking with Lu Chenyao and immediately came to greet Meng Li when he saw her.

"Hello, are you Mr. Meng Li? It's an honor to meet you."

His attitude was impeccably respectful.

Looking at the bright smile that appeared on the other person's lips.

Do you know me?

"I've seen your photo; after all, all the awakened ones who entered this door were recorded back then."

Nodding, Meng Li seemed somewhat indifferent.

He guessed that the other party must have obtained information about his strength from these awakened individuals, after all, their attitude was obviously too humble.

However, he never intended to cover it up, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

"What exactly happened outside?"

"Well, that's a long story..."

When it came to serious matters, the man became much more serious.

After a moment, Meng Li also fell into deep thought.

The man's explanation was quite detailed. Meng Li summarized it briefly, and it was actually very simple: after they left, new monsters inexplicably appeared.

This wasn't a big deal in itself, since it had happened more than once before.

However, unlike the monsters that spawned before, the monsters that appeared this time were significantly more troublesome than those before. It's not that they were stronger, but rather that there were simply too many of them.

Just like in Resident Evil, this monster spawn seems to be global, which threw the Federation into chaos in an instant.

Of course, although the other party came suddenly, the Federation had made ample preparations recently and took immediate countermeasures after realizing what was happening.

Temporary shelters were established centered around military outposts, while weapons were used to clear out any monsters that appeared starting from the center.

However, the scope of this incident was too large, and since weapons of mass destruction could not be used in the city, the authorities were somewhat powerless in such a short time.

Of course, the most crucial point is that there is something deeper hidden behind this incident, and compared to saving civilians, the Federation's attention is now focused on fighting against that unknown entity.

Therefore, the Federation's emergency elite forces were tied down, and with the lack of military force, the Awakened, a new force, came into the official view.

The screening process is ongoing.

Meng Li was among the first to enter, and every week thereafter, a new batch of people would awaken. Now, the number of awakened individuals in the Federation has reached tens of millions, and countless extraordinary talents have emerged from among them.

Even if you remove those awakened individuals who lack talent or are simply giving up, those with combat capabilities still make up more than 80%.

Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of the federal government, the top leadership immediately introduced policies.

This includes, but is not limited to, providing Awakened Ones with weaponry and offering corresponding rewards for their assistance.

"So, if you are interested in joining the Federation now, I will definitely apply for the most favorable treatment for you. Of course, even if you are not interested, the Federation hopes that you can help us out because we are all compatriots."

Of course, we won't let you work for nothing; please take a look at these two announcements.

Meng Li took it and opened it.

The list of tasks for hiring employees is displayed above.

Doing these tasks does not require joining the Federation. The relationship between Awakened Ones and the Federation is similar to that of an employer and employee, with both parties having equal status.

These tasks are mostly cleaning and guarding of a certain area, and the rewards are mostly money and some supplies.

"this one?"

Looking at this so-called employment task, Meng Li frowned.

There were no extraordinary items; the rewards were purely worldly. In Meng Li's opinion, these worldly rewards weren't particularly generous. Let alone an Awakened One, even an ordinary mercenary probably wouldn't accept such a mission.

The returns are completely disproportionate to the risks.

Put the task list aside and look at the second announcement.

This one is somewhat interesting.

This is a description of the benefits one can receive after joining the Union.

Once you join the Federation, you can receive rewards based on your strength. If you reach Rank C, you can obtain extraordinary items. The stronger you are, the higher the rewards you will receive.

At the same time, after joining the Federation, the items obtained from completing missions are no longer ordinary items, but rather points designated by the Federation in accordance with the mission system. Awakened individuals can use these points to exchange for extraordinary items or other valuable items.

It certainly looks very tempting, especially compared to the first one.

But when Meng Li saw that joining the Federation meant unconditionally obeying orders from superiors and accepting the Federation's arrangements and plans for the future, she lost all interest.

"Not interested."

Meng Li threw the two announcements back at him and left without looking back.

To say that he has no feelings for the Blue Ocean Federation is an overstatement.

After all, although he delivers food every day, the Federation at least provided him with a job, preventing him from living like a primitive tribe in other small countries. He is still very loyal to the Federation!
