Darkness is Coming

   In the loud music, the guests at Zero Bar finally unloaded their burdens and began to express their emotions in their wildest ways.

Hou Jie kept raising his glasses and toasting and said, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for inviting me to drink. If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me." It's worth taking advantage of. Hou Jie knows it very well. It just so happens that he is here to inquire about news this time. Being able to make friends with "locals" like Cheng Xu is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. of.

   "Okay, then I won't go around those detours with you, Brother Hou, have you heard of the corpse hunter?" Cheng Xu put down his glass and went straight to the subject.

   Hou Jie nodded slightly, he heard what the ship owner Zhang Deng said. In Xinyuanjiang, Jiangxin Island, and small bases and temporary settlements scattered everywhere, there are a small number of people who have no previous specialties or whose previous work skills have lost value and cannot rely on production or reconstruction work. To support myself and my family, I had to venture out to find opportunities.

   Zhang Deng himself is one of these people. Some people on his ship used to be salesmen and intermediary salesmen. After the disaster, the years of work experience suddenly became worthless, and they could only survive by picking up garbage.

   Of course, not everyone chooses to pick up trash. There are also some people who are braver and stronger. They will go out to hunt zombies with long spears and short crossbows.

It is said that three months ago, after the World War I, almost all the veterans of the Yuanjiao Society were killed, and the new recruits were still in the training period and did not have enough combat quality. Nor can it be ignored. So far rescue will start to issue tasks to the outside world, as long as people who dare to kill zombies, far rescue will send crossbows, guns and even cannons. After killing zombies, they can bring back the brain cores of zombies in exchange for silver coins or food stamps. , of course, you can keep it for your own use - after Cheng Xu explained the function of the rune bracelet, Hou Jie already knew the value and usefulness of the brain nucleus.

Soon, many people were attracted to register as zombie hunters, the so-called corpse hunters. Many of them were capable of forming a team. The Far Rescue Association also quickly followed up and supplemented various management measures and punishment regulations. After others tasted the sweetness, more and more people gathered up the courage and started to join the industry. Corpse hunting has gradually become a new industry. Not only can you see the team of corpse hunters in Jiangxin Island, but also in Xinyuanjiang He They can be seen everywhere in small and medium-sized settlements.

   After all, when I go out to hunt corpses, I also have to find a place to rest on the way.

"I know a little bit, but I'm curious. After the weapons are issued, everyone will go hunting and killing zombies. Does anyone think of using the weapons issued to rob other settlements?" Hou Jie took his last sip of wine. , said, "I don't mean anything else, I just ask curiously, after all, there are always some people who are not right."

"Of course, but President Yang is such a wise person, how can he not think of it." Cheng Xu shook his head and smiled, "So to register as a zombie hunter also has to go through a strict review. At the beginning, after obtaining a powerful weapon, every Before the team set off, there was an Awakened from the Far Rescue Society accompanying them. Those who dared to get a weapon and turned their face or went out with a gun from the Far Rescue Society to commit crimes, it’s not that they didn’t exist, but they all died soon.”

   "They're all dead?" Hou Jie raised his eyebrows, surprised. Yuan Jiang said that it was not big, but it was definitely not small. There were so many places to hide, and no one escaped?

"Of course, whoever will be saved by Yuanjian will die. He can live for up to three hours. The investigation team submits the application in the first hour, the president's office receives the application in the second hour, and the ruling order is issued in the third hour. to die."

   "What about escaping to Xinyuanjiang?" Hou Jie thought to himself, that is the territory of the newly created 258th Division, and the Yuanjian Society can't openly send people to chase and kill them, right? Isn't that the face of Master Chaojiang, Shanjianghai?

"Our Star of Hope signed an extradition treaty with Xinyuanjiang." Cheng Xu waved his hand, "I will arrest you in less than half an hour and send it back to Jiangxin Island. If you are too busy on the road and can't find a team willing to accept the detention mission. , then you will be killed on the spot. If you go to other settlements, the 'Judgment' will not care at all. Unless you are willing to be a dog for the beast, and you are lucky enough to run to..."

The companion sitting next to Cheng Xu kicked Cheng Xu, Cheng Xu hurriedly stopped, rubbed his cheeks that were flushed from drinking, and slapped him: "Hey, it's far away. Since Brother Hou, what do you know? It's easy to be a corpse hunter, to be honest, I'm the captain of the 'Rising Sun' squad of the B-level hunting team."

After holding back for so long, Cheng Xu finally stood up and reported his home. He was about to observe Hou Jie's shocked expression, but found that the other party didn't respond at all.

"Cough, that, aside from the 'Dawning' ruling, S-rank strong teams like Falcon and Ashes are themselves the ace troop of the Far Rescue Association and the corpse. Independent A-rank team There is only one, that's not to mention, they even have tanks. Those who really do not rely on high-precision equipment and are promoted to the B-level team by their own strength, there are only three in Jiangxin Island, including Xinyuanjiang and others There are less than ten places in total, the latest statistics are three days ago, there are only eight, and one of the teams was beaten two days ago, and the level assessment will definitely fall." Cheng Xu said a lot in one breath. , and finally made a summary, "In short, the strength of our Rising Sun is definitely worth believing. Now we are in the midst of the promotion task, but there are fewer people in the team. So, Brother Hou, I don't know if you are willing to join us."

"I promise, after you join the Rising Sun, we will treat you like our own brothers, and as long as you join the A-level team as soon as we complete the task, you will be an Acefreelancer. With my guarantee, you can skip those tedious tasks. Promotion tasks and procedures. How?"

   is not so good. What B grades A grades S grades, play games? funny! This was Hou Jie's first reaction, but he remembered Mr. Qiu's explanation: If you can't understand things, think about it from the perspective of the person concerned and try to understand it.

For Yuanjiehui, such a grading system not only makes it easier and more intuitive for people to accept this concept, but also substitutes fantasy elements from previous games or novels into reality, making the corpse hunter profession sound cool. Therefore, this fantasy element will arouse the yearning of people, especially the able-bodied young people, and at the same time reduce the sense of danger, thereby encouraging more people to stand up and hunt zombies.

   After thinking about it, Hou Jie decided to refuse politely. If it was his spare time, he wouldn't mind to integrate into the life here and experience the feeling of being a freelance mercenary zombie hunter, but now that he has a task at hand, he can't allow him to play.

   But if he refused outright, it would lose Cheng Xu's face. Besides, they explained so much for themselves and paid for the wine for themselves. Hou Jie thought that he should do something in return.

"Captain Cheng, you're too polite, thank you for looking down on me." Hou Jie said, reaching into his pockets and taking out a handful of things, "Since you are corpse hunters, I think you may be able to use these things. ?"

   There was a slight banging sound on the table, and a bunch of mottled brain nuclei rolled happily on the small round table.
