Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 27: The Dark Night Mercenary Group!

Outside the window.

The night deepened, and the moonlight was hazy.

Inside the private room, there was silence.

Only the soft breathing of two people could be heard.

After a long while, as the oppressive atmosphere in the room gradually dissipated... Xu Qi also sat up straight, still feeling a lingering sense of unease.

As a secretary of the human base, Xu Qi's willpower was well-tempered, but she was still somewhat panicked when facing the terrifying RT virus.

Only the damp clothes on her back reminded her that what Lin Ye said was true.

"Mr. Lin Ye, I was out of line just now. Please continue," Xu Qi said, looking at the man opposite her with an apologetic smile.

"It's alright!"

"When my sister was infected with the RT virus more than a year ago, her body mutated. Fortunately, this virus is different from the aggressive RR virus and can be suppressed with specific drugs to slow down its onset.

But the characteristic of the RT virus is that it slowly devours human vitality to strengthen itself. Even with specific drugs, the effect becomes worse and worse... That's why I desperately want to completely eliminate this virus. I'm worried..."

"Mr. Lin Ye, may I interrupt?"

Hearing this, Xu Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Have you been using antiviral drugs on your sister all along?"

"Yes!" Lin Ye nodded without hesitation.

"I see. That must be expensive."

Lin Ye: "..."

At this moment, Xu Qi's tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed.

She finally understood why Lin Ye was so meticulous about the selling price of monster materials.

Similarly, she thought of the many studies on the RT virus in the country.

It has been proven that once the RT virus breaks out, its power far exceeds that of the RR virus... Ordinary people can only last for three minutes at most!

Unless there are expensive drugs to prolong life or designated specific drugs, the infected person will exhaust their vitality in a very short period of time.

"Mr. Lin Ye, I understand the conditions you have proposed, but my current authority is not enough to completely eliminate the RT virus. I need to ask my superiors for instructions."

Xu Qi gave Lin Ye an apologetic smile, then walked out of the private room to make a phone call.

Watching Secretary Xu's figure leave, Lin Ye suddenly felt his heart beat faster:

"It must succeed!"

...

Ten minutes later.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Xu Qi walked in with a smile on her face.

"How is it?" Lin Ye stood up.

"I didn't fail you, it's a success!"

Xu Qi gave Lin Ye a thumbs-up: "The superiors have agreed to your conditions and have already arranged for experts and special drugs from Kyoto City to come here. They are expected to arrive in Shancheng in the next two days."

"Your sister's illness is no problem!"

"Huff... Huff..."

When Xu Qi said this, Lin Ye slumped back into his chair and took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes slightly, trying to calm the excitement in his chest.

After a while, Lin Ye recovered.

He looked at Xu Qi, his clear eyes full of gratitude: "Secretary Xu, thank you so much!"

The virus on his sister Lin Xiyue had always been a major concern for him.

Now that this huge stone has finally fallen, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin Ye, you're welcome. We are just exchanging on equal terms. If you join the military and serve it, we will naturally agree to your conditions."

"However, the things you need to pay for the treatment of the RT virus, you will need to sign a contract with us before you can know. Perhaps some benefits can be used to offset the treatment costs."

Xu Qi smiled slightly, genuinely happy.

"Okay, that's the way to do it," Lin Ye nodded in response.

Suddenly,

He frowned slightly and asked, "Secretary Xu, have you told the higher-ups about my test results?"

"Of course, otherwise your conditions wouldn't have been so easily agreed to. That's the RT virus..."

Xu Qi immediately smiled, "Because I told the superiors about your test results in the martial arts hall this afternoon,

Including some of the results of your telekinesis test... they readily agreed."

"I see," Lin Ye nodded, suddenly understanding.

"Don't think I'm monitoring you!

I just happened to be on duty at the martial arts hall and saw it," Xu Qi shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"In that case, can we sign the agreement directly?"

"Don't rush. Before we proceed with the agreement, we need to conduct another detailed test of your strength to give you the most suitable agreement."

"The most suitable agreement?"

Xu Qi: "Of course. The agreements between the military and martial artists have many levels."

From the lowest E-level, D-level... all the way to the highest S-level agreement, all are aimed at martial artists with different potential."

"At the same time, we will also arrange each martial artist into a suitable team to facilitate their rapid growth!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye frowned slightly: "Arrange a team?"

"Yes, do you have any questions?" Xu Qi asked in confusion.

"Is it possible not to join a team and enter the wilderness alone?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Xu Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

After thinking for a while, she looked at Lin Ye and nodded: "Of course, but the danger is too great. Our military has its own considerations and generally does not allow intermediate war generals and below to venture out alone...

You also know that there are too many monsters in the surrounding wilderness areas now. You may be besieged at any time."

"You must remember that every war general martial artist is the hope and future of the military and even mankind!"

"Since everything has been discussed, let's start eating!" Xu Qi suggested, her eyes twinkling with little stars.

"After eating and drinking enough, you should have a good rest tonight, and take the official test tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Lin Ye also nodded happily, and immediately called the waiter to order food.

...

Night filled the air.

The sky was gloomy and dark, seemingly obscured by mist, with not a trace of starlight visible.

It was late at night, but the restaurant was still bustling with people.

Lin Ye and Xu Qi walked out of the restaurant, chatting and laughing.

After resolving his sister's matter, he felt that the dark clouds above his head had dissipated, and he felt very relaxed.

Boom boom boom!!

A low engine roar came.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye couldn't help but look up and saw a row of all-black armored vehicles slowly stopping.

The heavy, finely crafted steel doors did not reflect much light under the lights, but slowly flowed with a layer of cold light.

The doors opened, and tall figures in black combat uniforms walked out, as many as fifty or sixty people, standing in a large, dark circle.

They just stood there quietly. In Lin Ye's eyes, he didn't see individuals.

But a group of ferocious beasts with exposed fangs, ready to pounce and kill at any time... or the grim reapers holding a scythe, ready to reap lives at any time.

Every person was surrounded by an extremely strong killing intent!

Lin Ye felt this very clearly.

Because he frequently mingled in the wilderness, fighting monsters to the death, he was very familiar with killing intent.

And the intensity of the killing intent on these people was even dozens of times greater than his own, as if they were blood-soaked Shuras who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

At this time, Lin Ye also noticed the badges on the right arms of these martial artists and was suddenly shocked.

The lowest-ranking of the dozens of people here were intermediate war generals, and there were even many advanced war generals.

Especially the burly man in black at the head, who brought Lin Ye great threat—

A War God powerhouse!

While Lin Ye was shocked, he also found that the combat uniforms of these black-clothed martial artists had a nameplate embroidered with a dark gold pattern.

The middle of the nameplate had two words: Dark Night. The two words Dark Night were red, the same color as blood.

"Dark Night? Dark Night!"

Lin Ye quickly searched for this name in his mind.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly and realized:

"It's the Dark Night Mercenary Group!"
