In the warehouse, Zhao Changqing, at the signal of the elegant middle-aged man, immediately called everyone to the front, preparing to release the mysterious recruitment task.
However, among the nine forces present, Duan Mufeng was the only one who did not move forward. He was still sitting on the box with an indifferent expression.
It's not that he has no interest in the so-called mission at all, it's just that his hearing is good enough that he can hear clearly even if he's not in front of him.
The elegant middle-aged man also noticed the unmoved Duanmu Feng, and couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, even dissatisfaction, and frowned and looked up in Duan Mufeng's direction.
Zhao Changqing glanced at Duanmu Feng, then hesitantly whispered a few words into the elegant middle-aged man's ear. He didn't know what he said. In short, after listening to it, the elegant middle-aged man ignored Duan Mufeng, who was not gathering, and rushed to the crowd. The eight forces in front of him showed an approachable smile.
"Hello everyone, my name is Dong Jianguo, and I am the secretary of the capital."
The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself.
When they heard that he was the secretary of the capital, everyone around them was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a respectful and flattering look on their faces, except for the two young men wearing shabby cotton-padded jackets.
"This time we have gathered everyone in Kyoto for a very important task. The reason why we are willing to give such a valuable reward is because this task is very difficult and may be life-threatening."
"If someone wants to quit now, I will never stop them."
Dong Jianguo put away his smile, looked at the people in front of him seriously, and spoke loudly, as if he was worried that Duan Mufeng wouldn't hear, so he deliberately raised his tone.
"Where do you go now without your head in your belt? There are so many dangerous things! We don't care! Do we?!"
"Exactly! Secretary Dong, just tell me, what kind of difficult task requires so many people?"
After listening to Dong Jianguo's words, everyone present talked in various directions, but did not take Dong Jianguo's reminder seriously.
Perhaps compared to their lives, those mission rewards are what they care about most.
"Okay, in that case, I will officially announce this recruitment mission now."
Dong Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Dong Jianguo attentively, fearing that they would miss any detail. After all, the success or failure of this mission is related to sufficient rewards.
"Not long ago, one of our scientists left Kyoto with an exploration team and entered the depths of the Northern Glacier a hundred miles north of Kyoto to conduct research. His whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown."
"We tried to send people in to search, but almost all returned without success, and some people died on the way. The climate there is very harsh, colder than any place you have lived before."
"Our mission is to enter the Northern Glacier, find the exploration team, and bring the scientist back safely. If... he is still alive..."
Dong Jianguo looked at everyone in front of him and said with expectation.
After listening to Dong Jianguo's words, Duan Mufeng frowned for the first time, especially when he heard the words "Northern Glacier".
"Feng Shuai, what's wrong?"
Jin Ling noticed Duanmu Feng's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask.
"fine..."
Duanmu Feng hesitated and shook his head slowly without explaining too much.
Immediately afterwards, the fragments before his death in the previous life could not help but appear in his mind, flashing back like movie scenes.
He is very familiar with that glacier!
"It does not sound that simple. If anyone wants to quit, you can leave now!"
Among the two men dressed as bandits, one of the young men in mink fur turned to look at the various forces around him and said loudly, with a slight smile on his lips.
"What are you talking about?! Since you have come all the way to Kyoto, how can you come back without success?!"
"Secretary Dong, when do we set off?"
"Also, the recruitment mentioned that there are bonuses and material rewards. I just want to know when the bonuses will be given? Don't risk your life if you don't get the money by then!"
The mink-skinned young man originally wanted to deliberately stimulate all the forces. If someone quit, he would lose a competitor. However, he did not expect that these people were not vegetarians and were not afraid at all.
Hearing these words, Duan Mufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. Now he knew that someone really came here for money, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.
In today's world, even if you have a fortune, you may not have anywhere to spend it. Sooner or later, you will starve to death on the streets because you cannot have a full meal.
Now that he knew the general outline of the mission, he had no intention of continuing to listen, so he closed his eyes again and listened to what was going on outside the window.
When he heard the words "Beiyu Glacier", he had already decided that no matter how dangerous this mission was, he would definitely go.
"Don't worry, everyone, since I promised you, I will definitely keep my promise."
"Before departure, I will pay you a deposit of 1 million. As for the balance and material rewards, I will make up for it after the mission is completed."
Dong Jianguo looked at everyone and said with certainty.
After hearing Dong Jianguo's answer, everyone present felt relieved, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
The wages of avarice is death.
The temptation of money to people is difficult to sum up in one sentence. If it were before the end of the world, it would be almost impossible for these people to earn five million.
"Okay, that's the general situation. Now let me ask again, does anyone want to quit?"
"If not, then once you set off, you must accept the unified deployment of Kyoto Prefecture. No one can act without authorization. Otherwise, even if the mission is finally completed, we have the right to deduct the final payment and material rewards."
Dong Jianguo looked at the eight forces with smiles on their faces and reminded them again.
But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone present rushed to agree. No one was willing to quit. On the contrary, everyone was excited.
The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction, and then found that Duan Mufeng had been sitting on a box not far away without expressing his position the whole time, so he thought for a while and slowly walked towards Duan Mufeng with Zhao Changqing.
"Feng Shuai, they are here."
Jin Ling glanced at Dong Jianguo and Zhao Changqing who were walking straight towards them, lightly touched Duanmu Feng and whispered a reminder.
Duan Mufeng nodded slightly, but still sat calmly on the box, with no intention of getting up to say hello.
"Feng Shuai?"
After the two came closer, Zhao Changqing took the initiative to speak first and greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Duanmu Feng responded, finally slowly opening his eyes, and then stretched out against Ha Qie.
He did not show the same respect as when the eight forces faced Dong Jianguo, but instead looked a little arrogant.
"Are you Duanmu Feng?"
Dong Jianguo looked at Duanmu Feng and asked with a smile.
"it's me."
Duanmu Feng nodded and answered casually.
"I've heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be so young. The names of City of Hope and Tianlong Guard are probably known to the whole of China now."
Dong Jianguo said with a smile.
"It's an award. It's just a false name. Everyone is just trying to live a good life."
Duan Mufeng smiled and said, then he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Dong Jianguo glanced at the cigarette case in Duanmufeng's hand, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Tobacco was a rare thing in the apocalypse, and the brand Duanmufeng smoked was the only one in Kyoto. A card that can only be drawn first.
A pack of cigarettes is enough to prove that the legends about the City of Hope and Duanmu Feng are not groundless.
"I heard that you not only established the City of Hope, but that you have eradicated all mutants and mutant beasts in the entire city of Hubei. Even the mutants and mutant beasts from surrounding provinces and cities do not dare to approach Hubei City."
"Moreover, you took in tens of thousands of survivors and settled them all in the City of Hope?"
Dong Jianguo looked at Duanmu Feng and said slowly as if he were counting treasures from his family.
Hearing Dong Jianguo's words, the various forces not far away who were secretly rejoicing for the generous bonuses and material rewards were all attracted. They turned around and stared at the two people who were talking.
Those who were still laughing at Duan Mufeng for bringing a woman to participate in the recruitment were already stunned and wanted to cut out their tongues...
