Demon Hunting Diary Volume 1 Chapter 2

The unique sound of hydraulic machines echoed in the deep cave. Then, from hidden exhaust pipes behind the rock, a huge amount of steam came out. The three meters diameter, gear-shaped door, which was shining the blue light of high-strength alloy steel, slowly sank into the mountain. After sinking about 1 meter, it rolled to the side, hid itself in the mountain wall, and revealed a deep pa.s.sage.

Although the light was quite faint, Su was able to see through the thick steam to see some terminal weapons, which was hanging on the wall of the pa.s.sage and hidden in the mountain body. The main type of weapon in this terminal system was miniature automatic machine guns. The angles of these black, swarthy barrels were carefully studied; from these calculated points, these guns were able to cover the whole pa.s.sage. Moreover, on top of each gun, there were two separated lenses. According to their appearance, they should be optical and infrared sensors. In the old era, this kind of defense force could be superior, however, in this era, powerful creatures able to resist the strafing of mini machine guns appeared constantly. So, old-fashioned terminal weapon system was actually left behind.

"Hey! Turner! I'm glad that you come back in one piece!"

When the group just came out from the pa.s.sage, an approximately 2 meters high brawny black man came to them and gave Turner a bear hug.

Turner also returned a similar hug, said: "Without Su, the problem wouldn't be being able to come back in one piece. It would be could you dig our pieces out of Rotten Wolves' dung, if it were there."

From Turner's eyes, the black man found Su, who was standing at the end of the troop. He walked to Su quickly, showed his hand and his white teeth, smiled: "My name is Tony; logistics director of N11 base! You saved Turner, which means you are my friend! Welcome to the N11 base!"

After simple scan and quarantine, every soldier, who had worked the outside task more than two weeks, disbanded and returned to their home. Because of rescuing everyone in Turner's troop and holding a hunter and mercenary license from Payne Company, Su received special treatment. He not only got a personal room, but also was able to purchase the goods in the internal price of the base.

N11 wasn't a large base; there were only about 400 citizens inside. Because there wasn't any extra s.p.a.ce, recently, the audit of residential qualification became very harshly. Moreover, there were numerous tedious regulations were set about the standard and the amount of foreign visitors.

In the past, N11 base was one of many anti-nuclear and anti-biochemical shelter, with its area number was N11. According to the size, N11 was the mini shelter, but it had everything inside, which were internal water, food, defense, medical and self-purification air system. In every country, a shelter could protect people inside against nuclear war and could be self-sustain was absolutely not prepared for normal civilians. As a result, the equipment inside N11 shelter was really modern at this time, and would be regularly replaced.

When the war broke out without any warning, N11 shelter wasn't even enabled. The rich and powerful people, who had permitted in N11 shelter, couldn't come to it in time. When the automatic defense mechanism is activated, N11 shelter closed itself with mere 16 staff responsible for routine maintenance.

After 15 years, N11 shelter opened again according to set programs. At this time, the old era was buried under endless ruins, and the Turbulence Era had just woke up.

N11 base replaced N11 shelter, similar to new era replaced the old era.

Su closed his eyes, let the powerful stream of water to clean his body, while repeating the basic history of N11 base in his head. This base had a complete function, and it was divided into 4 areas: residence, logistic, military and center control area. Behind the base was an emergency exit. Outside of the base is a natural formed cave. Rumors said that this cave leads to the abandoned subway network a few kilometers away. However, that underground subway had become the paradise of numerous dangerous species. So, on the N11 base map, this area was marked by a striking red note: "Danger".

The short shower only lasted two minutes, but it already cost Su 50 Yuan (Taiwan Yuan, 50 Yuan ~ 1.5 $), and it was the internal price. In the new era, the currency wasn't equivalent to the old days; coins were the most common currency because it was easy enough to use but hard enough to counterfeit. So, for many normal people, even they were residents in N11 base, 50 Yuan was a fortune. Even if the money wasn't a problem, the time for taking a shower couldn't be too long, because the water used for taking a shower still had a noticeable amount of radiation. Even this kind of water was treated, but the radiation rate wasn't low enough to drink, so using this water too long would lead to some unrecoverable damage to the body. Despite the limitations and costly price, being able to take a shower still was the biggest proud of N11 residents about this base's welfare.

The flow of water from the shower declined quickly, then finally stopped. The last drop of water fell reluctantly, popped a small splash on the skin as smooth as jade on Su's shoulder, then flew down along the smooth curve of the skin. However, that drop of water was absorbed quickly by the skin, and completely disappeared in the waist area.

So when the shower was over, there wasn't any drop of water on Su's body. He simply wiped his body, then wrapped himself by the bandage. He had carefully checked the room already, and he was sure that there weren't any surveillance devices in this room. By the way, no one would have noticed that the shower was reduced by a few gallons; it was undrinkable, recycled water.

Su had checked his physical condition when he was taking a shower; now it was the time for checking firearms, ammunition and money, for developing the action plan, and for restocking supplies. These were everything Su always had done when he came to a new habitat.

The normal heavy machine gun sh.e.l.ls for the modified sniper rifle was still plenty, but there were only three rounds of handmade, special bullets left. Su needed at least 20 rounds of this special bullet. The modified revolver used old era standard, 5.66 mm rifle ammunition. This wasn't hard to find; this base should sell it with a fair price.

"Only 110 Yuan left?" Su counted his money, coin by coin, and his beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled. This amount of money might just be enough for food, water and ammo; and it definitely wasn't enough for his goal: a rifle in RF series of Carter Rowan companies. As the basic level firearm products of the new era, it cost 3000 Yuan for the reference model of a rifle in RF series; while the additional gadgets were more expensive than the rifle itself. The big companies like Carter Rowan also sold basic medicine for genetic enhancement, which was able to provide 1 fully Evolution Point for the consumer. One dose cost 10,000 Yuan; and this was just basic medicine. There were some advanced medicines, which was able to grant the consumer some specific abilities. This kind of medicine had a truly form and stable effect, but its cost, even the lowest, was multiple times higher than the basic one's.

Agility is one of the most important qualities for living in the outside world, and of course no one was willing to carry ten thousand coins across the wilderness. Many companies and organizations tried to develop their own credit system, and they even released their own paper money and credit card. However, all of them faced a same problem that their compet.i.tors didn't accept their credit score. Gradually, in this no bank era, barter had become the main means of exchange. Firearms, weapons, and ammo could be treated as semi-ubiquitous currency; while medicine for genetic enhancement, in fact, had become a high value currency. Of course, this kind of currency was very easy to be damaged, and it also couldn't be stored too long.

Su's luggage was very simple, a standard military kettle, bullet bags, and a 10 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide bag for storing money, medicines and other stuff. All of these item could be easily hang on the belt without affecting to movement. No matter who you are, hunter or mercenary, the more minimal stuff usually meant a higher survival chance.

Su grabbed a piece of paper readily, then drew some patterns on it and marked them with a.s.sociated data. After that, he walked out of his room.

According to the logo on the pa.s.sage in the base, Su easily found the logistic area. On the way, he met some resident, and they were glad to greet him. For them, that blonde young man just dressed a little strange. Not to mention his superior ability - level 3 sniper or his license of Payne Company; just that full of mysterious, charm, beautiful left eye was enough to reduce all the effect of his bandage.

Finally Su found the military zone in the logistics area. He glanced at a brawny black man, who was busy among varied types of firearm.

"Tony, could you make some bullet for me?" Su handed out his blueprint.

Tony's big hand swept away, created a little s.p.a.ce on the table full of weapon's components; then he put the blueprint on it. After a glance, he gave Su a big smile and said in surprise: "Hey! This bullet’s recoil force can crush your shoulders! Perhaps only mutated human or people who were strengthened their physical defense dared to use this kind of bullet."

"I want twenty rounds." Inside Su's jade color eye, there was a smile. He like the simple and straightforwardness of that big guy.

"Okay, twenty rounds. Anyway, all of the level 3 people like you were abnormal." Tony muttered, then estimated the price of material, then stretched out a big hand to Su: "90 Yuan and 1 days, can't be cheaper."

For the full handmade, non-standard ammunition, this price was indeed very fair, so Su didn't hesitate to pay most of his money.

After receiving his money, Tony was still staring at Su's shoulder. He couldn't imagine how this seemingly thin shoulder could withstand such a huge, violent recoil impact. Normally, people strengthened their defensive or power-related genes always had very obvious characteristics, such as over-developed muscles and thick bones. Apparently, according to Su's slightly thin body, or 179 centimeters height, he and these enhancements was basically missed.

Tony shook his head, decided to not let this unanswered problem troubled him. In his eye, every people evolved to level three, no matter what kind of abilities, was abnormal. Of course, he automatically ignored him. Tony's level 3 abilities was Firearms Modification Specialization, which was related to Sub-Abilities Domain. It wasn't similar to five Main Abilities Domains, which was more inclined to combat abilities.

"Tomorrow, the base committee wants to talk with you." Tony said while mixing the gunpowder. "They should have some tasks for you. You know, we are living in a small base, and the chance for meeting a level 3 mercenary isn't so high. Actually, chairman of the committee, old man Anthony was a level 3 Firearms Specialization soldier, but ten years ago, he lost one arm and half of a leg in an anti-mob fight, so he retired and became the chairman. He is honest, and he knows what level 3 soldier is, so I think he will give you appropriate tasks and remuneration. You should consider it."

"Thank you." Su's answer is very simple, and very sincere.

Tony grinned, his white teeth were very eye-catching: "You rescued Turner, so you are my friend. Tony never mistreated friend. Even…"

Tony shrugged his shoulder, then continued: "Even in this era, this word almost had been forgotten."

Su bought a box of 5.56mm high-explosive bullet, then left the military zone.

"Hey! If you want to have some fun, go to the red bar, there are some very hot girls in there!" Tony shouted to Su, who hadn't gone to the door yet.

Alcohol, hallucinogens and women, in Su's dictionary, were the synonyms of troubles. He didn't like trouble, even a little, so he neglected meaningful suggestion of Tony, and returned to rest in his room.

Su carefully locked the door, and smoothly add an inconspicuous little machine on the door. From others' eyes, it looked like a small, twisted metal wire in the lock keyhole. In this base, Turner was quite popular, in fact, he also had a seat in the seven-member committee. Su saved both his and his troop's lives, so theoretically, Su would be quite safe in this base. However, Su knew that there wasn't absolute in this world, so he preferred to be more careful.

After arranging everything done, Su laid in the bed, and closed his jade color eyes. His breathing gradually slowed, his body temperature slowly reduced. He fell into a strange state of sleep. The big modified revolver was placed near his leg, while his left hand was lightly placed over the gun.

With Su, the world when he was sleeping was totally different from when he was awakened. The world belonged to sleeping, sometimes was quiet, and sometimes was noisy and full of l.u.s.trous and dazzling fragments. However, when Su woke up, most of these fragments would disappear from his memory.

In a new environment, Su usually had a very swallow sleep. That meant he probably would have a quiet and dream-free sleep, which allowed him to respond to any small changes. N11 base was obviously a totally new area, so Su slept very carefully.

However, tonight wasn't a dream-free night; Su, once again, fell into that irresistible world of dream.

This was a green world, and everything in sight was rippling in the water. It looked like this world was immersed under a green liquid. Through the light, there were a lot of faces; some of them were human, but most of them weren't. These faces appeared in front of his sight, one by one. Their lips were opened and the sound was echoed all around; like they were talking non-stop about something. However, Su couldn't hear anything, even a word. When a different face appeared, it would give him a completely different feeling such as itchy, sore, achy … However, the most ubiquitous feeling was pain, the pain made him want to tear himself apart!

Most of these faces only appeared once, a few of them appeared twice. Only two of these faced were repet.i.tive. However, both of them were very vague and completely unrecognizable. Therefore, Su always didn't understand how he knew what faces had been appeared.

This kind of dream repeated many times in Su's head, but it would disappear from his memory when he woke up. So, until now, Su didn't know what he had dream of.

Today, this dream had just been half way through, then it was accidentally interrupted.

A special signal was immediately released from the depth of Su's consciousness; and dozens of data were instantly transmitted throughout his body. Su's body weirdly shifted 30 centimeters to the side, and stood up. Without delay, his left hand grabbed the revolver and pointed it on the chin of the uninvited guests.

This series of movements was really fast. After the revolver pointed at the target, Su's eyes were actually opened. In the darkness, his pupil flashed a faint jade light. It looked like a rays of light, and it was the symbol of Low-light Vision.

"Who are you?" Su uttered a quiet cry. Due to intentionally suppress, his gentle voice was added more enigmatic attraction. However, the fifty-centimeter long, rough revolver on his hand was completely contrary to his voice, which was gentle as water.

With a big size, a super long barrel and a daunting muzzle, it was obvious that at a nearly zero distance like now, this revolver could easily blew up the head of the strongest Armored Fury Bear. This wasn't a revolver for normal people; its huge recoil could be equal to the old era automatic rifle. If someone used that revolver by just one hand, even their wrist wouldn't break or fracture after the first shot, at least the recoil would shift the hand out of position, which would increase the difficulty and the aiming time of the second shot.

Now that revolver's muzzle was on the intruder's chin. Even Su's wrist would be broken completely after the first shot, it would happen after the intruder's head was blown off.

The head under the muzzle seemed quite thin and delicate. This extremely rude revolver wasn't necessary, even the weakest common pistol could easily penetrate it. However, after seeing the face of the intruder; there weren't many people could pull the trigger; especially the men.

This was a very beautiful girl; based on her appearance, she might not be 20 years old. The harsh environment in the new era made women's appearance looked older than their true age. Maybe she was just 18 or younger.

She had chestnut, short hair and light brown skin; her s.e.xy red lips were painted in a strange purple gray. Her beautiful big eyes were looking at Su; inside it there was panic, which was also mixed with excitement and expectancy. She was wearing a leather jacket; its neckline was very low while its length was short enough to expose half of her breast and her without excess fat waist. It seemed that there was nothing under the jacket. On her lower body, there were a jeans that were tightly sticking to her very upturned hips and slender legs, as it was her second layer of skin.

Her face and figure was beautiful enough to be proud of, and she also was full of vitality and superfluous energy. It could be seen from the thick smell of alcohol, which had been emitting from her body. Apparently, she drank too much alcohol, so now her burning nerves started looking for stimulation and excitement, while it didn't give enough attention to the fear.

Even though there was a gun, which could blow her head off at any time on her chin; her eyes, which lost its focus due to alcohol effect, were staring at Su's charming left eye and holding gun left hand. Now, Su's hand wasn't wrapped in the bandage; and whether its line or its skin, was completely better than this girl's proudly hand.

An intent of murdering was flashed in Su's eye; he saw the small metal wire on the ground. This girl could break his alarm system even when she was drunk?

He immediately tightened slightly the slender forefinger on the trigger. Just 1 or 2 more millimeters, this shot would be released. The girl finally noticed this detail; her eyes instantly became clearer and full of fear. Su kept maintaining this firing posture, while pushing the gun to force this girl to stand up.

If Su's finger had even a slightest quiver, this girl's beautiful face would become a pool of meat!

The revolver stopped until this girl stood on her tiptoe. Small beads of sweat began to appear on her face and neck. She was very nervous, but she knew that she had to maintain this posture of ballet dancers, because even the slightest movement could trigger that huge revolver.

Yet at this moment, Su began to touch her.

First, Su's right hand touched her hair, then behind her ear. After a gentle pinch on her neck, he even put his fingers in her slightly opened, gasping mouth.

The girl really wanted to bite off these two cold, velvety fingers, but she didn't have enough guts.

Next, Su unb.u.t.toned two remaining b.u.t.tons on her short leather jacket. It made her upper body, which wasn't covered by any underwear, completely exposed. After that, every point on her upper body was being carefully touched. Of course, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which wasn't too large, but very lifting, were given additional focus; her nipples were repeatedly pinched several times.

Similar to left hand, Su's right hand wasn't wrapped in the bandage. The cold but smooth touch from his finger was similar to not only a winding snake, but also a lingering tongue of a lover.

The next target was her lower body. Su unb.u.t.toned her jeans without any scruples; then rudely pulled it down to her knees, and started his search. Unexpectedly, Su felt that his hand was wet, but it didn't affect his cautious searching. In this era of mutations and unstable genes; every bulging or sunken areas on a woman's body could be used to hide deadly weapon or mutated organs. Su saw too many similar precedents in his alone and wandering on wilderness life.

"Oh!" The girl frowned and squeezed out two hoa.r.s.e and painful sounds from her throat. The body investigation finally stopped.

Su stepped back one step and put away his revolver. She wasn't armed; her drunken state seemed not fake, and she also didn't have any bad intention.

"Who are you? Why did you come here?" Su whispered.

The girl's eyes were burning with flame: "My name is Lì jī (nickname for the most beautiful woman among The Four Beauties of Ancient China). I heard that you are a very cool newcomer, so I decided to take a look. Oh, right, I am an expert on unlocking."

Su knew that it was a common thing. In this era of violence, due to congenital disparities of physique and strength, women were in an absolute disadvantage; their position was very low. Many women had to rely on their bodies to exchange necessary food and water for survival. For something like N11 base residency, it might cost an arm and a leg. With her youth and beauty, perhaps it could be traded; but if she wanted to live better, it wouldn't be enough. At least, she must have an excellent skills, which could make a substantial contribution to the base.

As a person who worked as both hunter and mercenary, Su wasn't unfamiliar with monetary, violence, women and trade; however, the situation in front of his eye wasn't a good one, because it didn't meet his principles.

"I don't have enough money." Now Su only have 5 Yuan, most of his money was exchanged into ammunition and food. The price of this girl was absolutely far more than that.

The flame in Lì jī's eyes became stronger. Suddenly she rushed over like a female leopard; the impact was strong enough to push Su down to the bed. She was gasping heavily, while her hands were tearing the bandage on Su's body. The sound come from her mouth was a mixed of groan and growl: "This time, free! d.a.m.n it, your touch was so hateful, give it to me, now!"

Straightforward action instantly gave result; she felt the fiery, hard and huge thing almost went to her empty body. However, she had to stand up again and leave the position which could immediately extinguish the fire of desire in her body.

That huge revolver, once again, pointed at her chin and forced her to stand up again.

"I have a mission tomorrow, I have to save my energy." The last moment, Su was a fire, but now, he was an ice.

The transition from scorching hot to severe cold almost drove this girl to crazy; but she was forced to leave under the pressure from the revolver. Almost completely naked, she was holding her clothes while watching the metal door in front of her was shut with a bang and locked.

Su sat straight on the bed's edge; the revolver was put on his lap. Even when he heard a hysterical, full of anger threat from outside: "Su! Sooner or later, someday I will rape you!" he just smiled without any care.

It was absolute that the girl called Lì jī was a high quality stuff. Her skin was a litter rough due to using low rate radiation water for bathing, but it was scarcely clean, and it also had amazing elasticity and flexibility. There was no doubt that a woman like her could bring great excitement and fun in the bed. However, at the inserting moment, Sue sensed that, there was a force inside her body made him feel very repulsive. It made Su's desire disappear in an instant. Although Su didn't know what that force is or whether this force really exists, but Su always believed in his instincts.

Because his instincts had never deceived him, and his luck had always been over the standard.

This time, Su hadn't believed any more in N11 locked door and his alarm; he sat against the door until morning.

The seven-man committee was the core of N11 base. Chairman Anthony and Turner were in charge of its twenty-man armed forces, which were police and soldiers. Other members were Tony, chief medical officer and three research directors. N11 base was not large, but its function was very complete; which wasn't allowed the residents of the base to slack off. It also led to a quite cruel residential system. The citizens of the base had to prove that they were useful, or they had enough money to purchase the residency before they were approved to stay inside the base. Only people who made enough contribution for the base, such as seven-man committee, were allowed to be retired.

For safety and to a certain degree of stability, N11 base still kept a portion of the old era marriage system. Marriage in here didn't have monogamous limitation, as long as the man could prove that he can support a woman and could afford the marriage tax. The stability of marriage was guaranteed by the committee. From some point of view, this kind of guarantee was very tenuous, however, in the N11 base, no one dared to go against it. Turner and twenty-man armed force was the cornerstone of N11's authority.

Surprisingly, the price of water in N11 base, no matter what level it was, was at least half cheaper than outside. People in this base were even extravagant enough to use treated water for bath, of course, if they could afford the price. As a result, drinking water was an important material for foreign exchange of N11 base. Food, medicine, firearm, ammunition and other stuff, everything were traded back by water. It clearly hinted that the N11 base had a secret, huge source of water; and the base itself also had high efficiency water treatment system. Only these factors could solve the question how N11 base had enough water, to provide for internal citizens and to sell.

Having water didn't mean having everything, but it was quite similar. In the area with a diameter of 100 kilometers, N11 base was the richest and the most powerful one. 15 soldiers who had level 1 genetic enhancement, a small and complete logistics base, military equipment, as well as a lab could produce medicine for genetic enhancement; all of these factors made N11 base into an armed to the teeth cheetah. Even when the number of bandit groups and armed mob in this area increased significantly, compared with N11 base, they weren't as strong as a group of Rotten Wolves. They were only a bunch of angry, biting human rabbits.

In a previous task, Turner and his troop were surrounded by a group of armed mob, which had more than 50 men. When 10 soldiers occupied a hill, the battle broke out with automatic rifles versus a rushing mob with vintage pistols and flintlocks. The mob also had some grenades, but no one could survive the rain of bullet from 10 level 1 soldiers to enter the 100 meters distance. The final result of this battle, was zero versus 35 casualties. After that, there weren't any bandit groups or mob want to provoke N11 base.

In the meeting room of the central area of N11 base, Su sat alone on an iron chair. In front of him, seven members of the committee sat behind a semi-circular aluminum conference table. This kind of arrangement was similar to the old era trial, but it occurred in a police station instead of a court. It was lucky that both Turner and Tony were in the meeting room, so the atmosphere inside it was fairly easy.

According to N11's internal rules, seven committees began to inquire Su about his abilities. In this similar to chatting inquiry, all committees, even Turner, looked at the modified sniper rifle, which was placed beside of Su, from time to time. Although they weren't familiar with firearms like Tony, they were able to recognize that this rifle was quite old and original. Perhaps it only had some advantages like stable, reliable, easy to maintain and fair price. However, when it was compared with M3A, one of the most modern automatic rifles of the old era, the disadvantages of it was too much.

This rifle modification was worth seeing. Even if its ammunition were heavy machine gun bullets or special ones; its 1500 meters effective range was able to make people surprise. However, it also had some significant weaknesses, such as huge recoil and low precision. Another interesting factor on this gun was its scope; normally, the simple scope was only suitable with mid - ranged automatic rifles, and it completely couldn't bring enough precision which snipers needed.

Of course, the price of a fairly advanced scope wasn't cheap, and sometimes it could be higher than the price of the rifle. Nevertheless, this amount of money wasn't a thing that a level 3 Sniper couldn't afford. An ordinary person would need 7 evolution points in order to strengthen to level 3. Converted these points back to money, it was enough to buy three or four the most modern scopes in this era. But Su's background was quite special, he chose to enhance himself instead of purchase modern gun. It was very different from other people, because, a good sniper rifle could boost the ability of a sniper in a whole new level, which also meant more income. After all, guns were the breadwinner of every soldier.

From this point of view, Su perhaps didn't have a strong economic mind.

The inquiry was still in the middle, but it began to boring, because actually the committee didn't need to have a real understanding about Su's abilities. The mandated task itself was a disclaimer, which stated that the hirer wouldn't need to be responsibilities for the life of hired person. Similarity, Su wouldn't show his true card to an organization which just hired him. The main reason for having this inquiry was the base's rules required it.  N11 base had inevitably produced a lot of form and bureaucracy in some postwar decades.

Level 3 Sniper Specialization in Psionic Domain, and level 1 Vision Enhancement in Perception Domain; these were the content that Su gave to the committee. The seven-man committee was shaken when they heard that, and the main reason was the extra Level 1 Vision Enhancement.

In fact, Sniper Specialization was a comprehensive enhancement; it improved the physical strength, endurance, vision, ability to control body and coordination. After that, sniper need to adapt these transformations through specialized training. This enhancement had been established and developed very well, and the collocation of level 3 Sniper Specialization and level 1 Vision Enhancement was very common. Because the difficulty of improvement increased exponentially after every level, it needed 8 evolution points to level up from level 3 to level 4 Sniper Specialization. Due to that costly price, and the fact that level 4 Sniper Specialization hadn't been fully studied yet; from the angle of vision improvement, level 4 Sniper Specialization didn't provide a huge boost like level 1 Vision Enhancement.

However, one single evolution point could also represent approximately a 10000 Yuan fortune. According to Su's age, which was lower than 20, this amount of money was quite large. It hinted that Su know how to be remunerative, although his action in here showed that he knew how to spend his money. According to each person's preference, seven men in the committee quickly exchange that extra 10000 Yuan into alcohols, cigarettes, firearms, water, and women. After that, their sight to Su became a bit different.

In their eyes, those bandages weren't wrapping a human body, but a wealth of nearly 100 000 Yuan.

The boring inquiry finally pa.s.sed, next was the content of the task. Su, who was close to sleep, immediately woke up and listen to the committee without mission a word.

This task was both simple and complex.

Due to the concern of the base's safety, the committee decided to explore the outside cave system, which was connected with the back door of the base. The main target of this mission was the web-like subway tunnels. The committee wanted Su to create an emergency escape way for the base. There were 2 missions in this task. If Su only explored through the natural caves and stop at the entrance of the subway tunnels, his reward would be only 500 Yuan. If Su could clear a safe way in the subway tunnels, his reward would be a dose of basic medicine for genetic enhancement, which was produced from the labs of N11 base.

After thinking a little, Su realized that the danger of this task and its reward was very commensurate. There was a huge city ruins a dozen kilometers away from N11 base. It was occupied by cruel and cunning mutated species, mutated humans, living corpses, bandit groups, armed mob and some unknown organizations. In additional, the underground world, which was similar to a labyrinth and could be divided into 6 separate floors, its danger wasn't lower than the ground.

The underground world wasn't a good battlefield for snipers. The paradise of sniper should be the urban city, which had buildings everywhere in a large area. So, as a level 3 Sniper, clearing a natural cave was a suitable task for Su. In the past, he usually took these difficult tasks, and the compensation for each was ranged from 300 to 1000 Yuan.

But the high remuneration of the follow-up mission had attracted Su. Even he didn't need that basic medicine anymore, he could use it for exchange. The quick sell price of a basic medicine for genetic enhancement was 5000 Yuan, and with a nearly bankrupt person like Su, 5000 Yuan was an irrefutable reward.

After taking the task, Su got 100 Yuan as preparation fund. The license of Payne Company was equal to this amount of prepaid money.

At the twilight, all of 100 Yuan were traded into a box of 5.56 ammo, 10 extra special rounds for his rifle, and two bottles of level 4 drinking water.

When the night fall, fully equipped Su walked out of the base through its emergency exit door.

Before leaving the base, he knew that the girl called Lì jī had left the base. She wasn't a resident of this base, and her unlocking skill was useless in here, so she didn't have any sources of income. Most of her money was used to purchase the temporary residency. Because she didn't want to use her body to purchase money, like other women, so she had to leave the base at today morning. This was a very regretful ending, because numerous men in this base were aiming to Lì jī's bed. All of them wanted to pay a very generous price for that. Leaving the base, perhaps the life of Lì jī wouldn't become better than inside, because at least N11 had enough power to maintain its basic order and rules. It meant even if Lì jī was raped inside the base, the rapists still had to pay to Lì jī afterward, in order to make their behaviors suit with the rule of the base. Out of the base, chaos was the eternal theme; those wandering in the wilderness males had excessive violence and desire, but no money.
