Liu Heizi is 31 years old this year. He is a special forces soldier who has been retired for many years. This is also his first year as a mercenary.
And he retired from the army at the age of 24.
Six years.
Six whole years.
Life in the border area turned this sturdy man into a refugee with dark skin and a thin body.
It can be seen that his life has been extremely unsatisfactory in recent years, which is why his former comrades immediately pulled him into the team after they found out.
Generally speaking, if you want to become a mercenary, in addition to your previous resume, you must also undergo at least one year of training and assessment.
However, these were all given Liu Heizi some conveniences with the guarantee of his former comrades in arms and his resume of outstanding military achievements.
This trip to Tianmen Mountain was his first time performing such a high-level mission.
When the gentle-looking man threw the big jingling bag to the leader of their mission, Liu Heizi's heart tightened.
He could hear it.
That's the sound of gold.
Although he was once extremely depressed, he was also a man who had seen great storms and waves, and he had once seized a bigger bag of gold than this while performing a mission in the army.
It's just that they don't belong to him.
Not so today.
There were more than 20 people. According to his estimation, there were at least more than 30 pieces of gold in the big bag. In other words, everyone in this mission could get at least a whole piece of gold!
This is even several times higher than his total income in these six years!
Liu Heizi couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this. He had even thought about how to spend the money after the mission was over.
The first is moving.
The place where he lives now can no longer be regarded as a place for people to live, and it is no less than a garbage dump. Especially after the machines from the core area continue to flow into the border area, a person like him who has no skills, Even hard work cannot be competed with machines.
You said you have strength? But you have to eat!
No need for machines! As long as they add a little oil every day, they can work around the clock without stopping or complaining, and their efficiency and speed are several times higher than that of living people.
This is not an isolated case.
In today's border areas, there are no longer a few ordinary people who have had their jobs taken away by "smuggled" robots. These people are eventually forced to have no fixed place to live and become homeless, and in the end they can only become beggars.
And beggars are not allowed even in border areas.
These people have no choice but to steal and rob without conscience, and eventually become criminals. This is why the crime rate in the border area is much higher than that in the core area.
Not everyone is born willing to do evil.
As a former special forces soldier, he has been reduced to a situation where even making a living becomes a problem. I really don’t know whose sorrow it is.
Fortunately, this time he was finally able to earn a living by relying on his own abilities!
This was what Liu Heizi thought when he received the mission.
He was excited and happy.
Of course, he would not have thought that this trip to Tianmen Mountain would not be as simple as he imagined.
Not long after he went up the mountain, he noticed something was wrong. The danger prediction he once had as a special soldier made this skinny little man nervous.
Like other comrades, he could predict within a certain range that a vague dangerous aura was approaching them.
Times like this in the past would often end with the annihilation of the invading enemies, and he and others were obviously well prepared.
The firearm is loaded and the posture is ready, just waiting for the enemy to attack.
However, this time, until the danger was predicted, Liu Heizi felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, and the warning in his heart kept reminding him that the enemy was coming.
But like everyone else, he didn't see any enemies.
In other words, living people.
It wasn't until the comrade was eaten clean bit by bit without any warning and under everyone's watchful eyes that everyone looked around like crazy, holding up the loaded The gun will shoot the bullet at an angle once it sees the enemy.
But they obviously didn't have this opportunity.
Angry, frightened, and losing their minds, despite all the negative emotional effects, I have to say that these retired special forces' marksmanship is still very good.
Not a single bullet hit the man being attacked, they all whizzed past, trying to attack the invisible enemy.
But in the end it was to no avail.
Fortunately, the leader quickly reacted and remembered the genetic bullets and night vision goggles he had received before setting off.
As a result, the first wave and the weakest wave of fused spirit monsters were annihilated without any suspense.
This was the first time they had been attacked.
The second time was even more dangerous, because both the genetic bomb and the night vision device quickly lost their effect.
At this critical moment of crisis, Mr. Li, who had never been very good, took action.
Although Liu Heizi didn't see any enemies at all, as Mr. Li took action, the danger that almost made him breathless disappeared little by little, and finally completely disappeared.
After this time, their mercenary team all looked at the young-looking Mr. Li with heroic eyes.
Through discussions with his comrades, Liu Heizi quickly understood that this was the so-called mutant. It is said that as long as one awakens and becomes a mutant, at least his physical fitness will be much higher than that of ordinary people, even if there is nothing to gain With the ability to do something, you can quickly stand out.
This couldn't help but make Liu Heizi feel a hint of envy and a hint of jealousy.
You must know that he became a special soldier not through mutation and evolution, but through real training.
Can you imagine that what you have worked so hard to get is the only thing you are proud of, but others can get that feeling easily?
For the first time, Liu Heizi, who had no desires or desires in the past, had an idea.
If only I could be a mutant.
"Come on, let's set off."
At this moment, Mr. Li stood up and said this.
At this time, at least in Liu Heizi's view, Mr. Li has become the backbone of the team.
With just a simple sentence, everyone stood up and got ready to set off as quickly as possible.
Afterwards, Mr. Li walked alone at the front, seemingly to act as a pathfinder. This also made everyone in awe of this powerful Mr. Li.
Everyone knows that a dangerous journey does require someone to explore the road ahead, and this person is often filled by someone with average strength, good flexibility, and not so important in the team.
Therefore, when they saw Mr. Li walking alone in front, both the captain and the employer thought about trying to stop the other party and find another person to explore the way.
But Mr. Li did not adopt it.
This also made the remaining people respect him even more.
Everyone knows that this road is not easy to walk. Judging from previous experiences, those who walk ahead will undoubtedly need to bear great risks.
This made Liu Heizi, who was participating in a mission of this level for the first time, unconsciously have the most genuine thoughts.
What a good guy he is!
With this thought in mind, Liu Heizi, who claimed to be a special elite, walked behind Mr. Li based on the five-meter distance.
His idea is very simple, that is, if the other party encounters any danger, with his reaction ability, he can still provide some help as soon as possible.
Although in his opinion, maybe the other party did not need this kind of help. After all, the pressure of the invisible spirits that the other party had just killed was enough to make Liu Heizi feel suffocated.
But the other party treated it as lightly as if he were killing a bunch of chickens.
But this does not hinder the little adoration in his heart.
Soldiers all admire the strong. He felt that if he could get closer to the strong, he would be able to benefit a little bit.
This thought still remained until Liu Heizi's body exploded without warning.
Even in the second before his death, he was thinking about waiting for the mission to end. No matter what, he would find a way to get to know this powerful Mr. Li, and at least give himself some hope of becoming a mutant.
