My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

"Have you heard? The mission center has released a major mission! This is the first major mission released by the mission center!"

"I already knew that. I heard that the rewards for this mission are super generous. The points you get for killing an ordinary demonic beast are at least twice the usual amount."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go accept the mission quickly, it'll be terrible if we can't get it."

"What's the rush! This is a large-scale mission with no limit on the number of participants. I heard it starts at 10:00 AM sharp. Instead of rushing to accept the mission, why not go and buy some necessary equipment? You don't think this large-scale mission is a freebie, do you?"

He heard these kinds of conversations all the way.

Tang Yu was somewhat puzzled. This large-scale mission was obviously only released this morning. He hadn't heard about it when he browsed the forum last night.

When we arrived at the mission center, it was already quite noisy.

It's fair to say that as soon as this mission was announced, most of the registered mercenaries in the shelter arrived.

The mission center was packed with people.

Tang Yu frowned.

Even the Spring Festival travel rush isn't this exaggerated, especially for these survivors who deal with mutated beasts every day and haven't had a bath in who knows how long.

He seemed to smell a pig cage.

It wasn't that he couldn't stand it; it's just that he wasn't very interested in the task to begin with.

"My lord, perhaps I should..."

Tang Yu glanced at Yilian and decisively shook his head.

The girl was clearly not as calm as she claimed; she was still somewhat afraid of this environment.

Being squeezed in such a crowd is not just a matter of being covered in sweat... If anyone should be squeezing in, it's my turn.

In just a short while, he had already heard many female survivors exclaim in surprise, clearly they had eaten quite a bit of salted pig's trotters.

Tang Yu couldn't help but wonder if many of the survivors inside weren't there to fight for the mission, but simply to unleash the power of the giant salted pig's trotter.

However, it was rather strange that screams of surprise could sometimes be heard from the crowd, especially from the male survivors.

"Let's go take a look over there."

The mission center is mainly located on the first floor, with transparent glass on both sides.

After Tang Yu went around to one side, although he still couldn't get inside, he saw the mission details on the central display panel.

Red lettering, larger logo.

[Large-Scale Mercenary Mission: Annihilate the Demon's Lair]

A deep rift has appeared in Maple Leaf Town, posing a significant threat to the safety of the Lin Dong Sanctuary. The Lin Dong authorities will take the initiative to eliminate the mutated beasts around the rift. This operation will require the cooperation of numerous mercenaries.

Require:****

award:****

"So it was because of the abyss rift, no wonder."

The rewards are plentiful, and the official team has even made many previously unavailable redeemable items available for this mission.

A blatant seduction.

Many combatants were envious.

Tang Yu, however, did not think highly of them.

although,

The military was the main force in this war, and the mercenaries only played a supporting role. However, many people have forgotten that this is a large-scale battle with a large number of demonic beasts, and there may even be high-level demonic beasts appearing one after another.

For strong teams, this is a great opportunity, but for some combatants who aren't even awakened, participating in such a battle would probably only make them cannon fodder.

"My lord, shall we register?" Elaine asked.

Tang Yu shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not going to join in the fun."

In the past, he might have accepted this mission to earn some points in order to obtain a soul power container, but now it's obviously unnecessary.

"However, we should also go and see this battle. The troops under the command of the Lin Dong high command will all be involved, which will be a good opportunity to see Lin Wei's strength."

…………

The deadline for claiming the task is 10:00 AM.

Outside the city gate, a large number of combatants had gathered.

Some people wore protective gear made of demonic beast fur and carried military-issue swords, while others wore tattered clothes and carried rusty swords.

Thankfully, none of those survivors have appeared yet, those who are unarmed and ready to fight bare-chested.

The people at the mission center probably couldn't stand it anymore and eliminated those people.

Tang Yu did not stay with these people. After leaving the city gate, he, Yilian, and Huiren found a place to wait.

Rumble!

The steel city gates gradually parted to reveal the wide streets inside.

Normally, the city gates are only open with a small gate that can accommodate two vehicles side by side, but now they are fully open, and even the streets are closed to traffic, with not a single pedestrian in sight.

Accompanied by a series of deep rumbling sounds, a torrent of steel gradually came into view.

"That's...!!"

The mercenaries outside the city gate had already split up to the sides, but they were all staring blankly at the city gate, unable to look away.

Tang Yu was also struggling to calm down at this moment.

When they first arrived in Lindong, the Scarlet Hands convoy was considered quite formidable, but compared to this steel torrent before them, it was like the difference between ants and elephants.

At the very front were several armored vehicles, which slowly drove out.

Following closely behind was a tank formation, their dark cannon muzzles slightly raised.

It showcases the power of steel and fire.

There were also all sorts of vehicles and equipment that Tang Yu couldn't name...

Smoke and dust filled the air as a torrent of steel rolled in.

Such an army was something we could only see on television in the past.

Outside the city gate,

Many combatants showed excited expressions. With such armored forces, no matter how terrifying the demonic beasts were, they would be reduced to ashes in the artillery fire.

Soon, managers at all levels assigned tasks to the mercenaries.

The mercenaries were primarily hired to protect military vehicles and to cooperate in combat when the mutated beasts attacked.

It's not difficult, but it's not really.

Given the long range and wide coverage of firearms, there must not be many mutated beasts capable of breaking through firearms defenses to reach the front lines.

They only need to kill some isolated demonic beasts in the defensive area.

In this mission, the points for killing demonic beasts are two to three times higher than usual. Many people are hoping that more demonic beasts will come to the front lines so that they can gain more points in addition to the basic rewards.

This is just the case for most casual mercenaries.

Top-tier squads, and even members of the four major mercenary groups, have greater autonomy.

They can move freely and freely seek out and hunt demonic beasts.

The members of the Crimson Hand were very excited; for them, this mission was like racking up points.

These people were talking loudly, attracting envious glances from the casual mercenaries nearby.

The deputy commander, Scarface, was somewhat agitated at this moment.

"What! You're saying there's no news?!"

The blond-haired member who reported was also puzzled, as it wouldn't be difficult for their mercenary group to investigate a few people.

They were able to investigate many things, from Tang Yu's arrival in Lindong to what happened afterward.

Even though they didn't know the details, they did know that the three people were two men and one woman, and they also knew their general appearances. They even knew about the relationship between Li Xiuming and Tang Yu. However, the people of the Crimson Hand didn't care about such a mere ordinary person.

Huang Mao told Jiang, the head of the mission center, about the physical characteristics of the three people after the investigation, and then... he never received any useful information.

"How come there's no news? Could it be that Jiang took so many source crystals from us and still dares to fob us off?" Scarface sneered.

Huang Mao shook his head. "No, no, Manager Jiang has sent word, but the message says that those three people haven't registered as mercenaries."

Scarface: "..."

He was holding his breath so hard he almost suffocated.

Without registering as a mercenary, you naturally cannot accept missions.

But these days, are there still awakened individuals who haven't registered as mercenaries? Especially those three, he had to admit they were quite capable.

Scarface couldn't understand it.

His expression was cold.

"We can't let those clowns get away with it. Issue a scarlet warrant for them..."

He gazed into the distance, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
