Mechanical Flesh

Jia Tao quickly booked the room, and after parking the car, the two walked to the location of the Southern District Hunter's Guild.

Compared with the messy Heishi Town, the Steel Chariot is not only several times larger in size, but also has much better facilities. The ground is paved with bluestones of sufficient thickness, which not only makes the street look clean and tidy, but also prevents insects and beasts from entering the city. Hazard of underground entry. Fastest //m.

The only thing that makes people a little puzzled is that the house of the steel chariot is not tall. With the technological level of the old age, human beings can build towering skyscrapers. In the new era when the capable mechanic was born, the height of the house But there seems to be some kind of taboo.

The houses in Blackstone Town are all below three floors. Although the houses in the Iron Chariot are a bit taller, the highest floor does not exceed five floors. The Hunter's Guild is one of the few buildings with a height of five floors.

There is a huge open space around the Hunter Guild's stronghold, which is full of various vehicles, most of them are motorcycles, and there are also a few pickups and jeeps.

Although there are many thieves in the southern area, there is absolutely no thief who dares to steal from the Hunter's Guild.

Two burly men with pistols in their waists stood at the entrance of the Hunter's Guild with their arms folded and their eyes staring like copper bells. Although their strength was not very good, their appearance was enough to scare away some weaklings.

Stepping into the gate, there was an empty hall inside. The chill in the air suddenly disappeared, and the temperature increased by at least ten degrees.

A huge holographic projection screen is projected in the center of the hall, on which various mission information is constantly scrolling.

Most of the crowd gathered in front of the task projection screen, trying to find a suitable task from it.

The dim light was cast from the light strip above the head, the light was a little soft, but it didn't look dim.

Many hunters came and went in a hurry in the hall, and there were even many of them with fierce auras.

"Wait here for a moment, I will hand in the task first, follow the normal process to join the Hunter Guild, you need to go through some cumbersome procedures, if I advance to a C-level hunter, I am eligible to be a guarantee to recommend you to join, which can save a lot of tediousness. " Jia Tao said.

Qi Yuan nodded. Although the Hunter Guild is open to all wilderness hunters, it is not easy to become a registered hunter who can apply for quests. Ordinary people cannot register and accept quests. They can only issue some rewards Task.

Without a c-level or above referrer, extraordinary people who want to complete the registration not only need to test their combat power, but also often need to complete specified test tasks, such as hunting a rotten wolf.

The Hunter Guild has always been about strength!

After Jia Tao left, Qi Yuan looked at the surrounding environment alone. Although most of the houses of the Hunter's Guild were of masonry structure, there were many metal decorations full of technological colors inside.

Whether it's the holographic projection screen or the steel robot standing in the corner, they all give Qi Yuan a refreshing feeling.

"This is what the new era should look like!" Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

A man in a gray checkered shirt came over and greeted with a smile.

"Brother, it seems that you are a bit unfamiliar. Is this the first time you have come to Iron Chariot? What do you call it?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him, inexplicably felt that the visitor had a sense of intimacy, as if he was a half-brother who had been separated for many years!

A metal badge with crossed swords etched on a prominent position on his chest is the badge of a registered hunter.

"Qi Yuan." Qi Yuan responded.

"My name is Cao Hong, a registered C-level hunter of the Hunter Guild." Cao Hong pointed to the badge on his chest.

"Brother Qi is here, do you want to join the Hunter Guild?"

"Of course." Qi Yuan smiled.

"Brother, you have found the right person." Cao Hong said with a laugh.

"How to say?"

"It's not easy to join the Hunter's Guild." Cao Hong said in a low voice.

"It's just that the level of the ability test will wipe out many wild hunters, and the follow-up test tasks are even more dangerous. Many wild hunters even died because of it.

If Brother Qi is willing to trust me, I can help you complete the registration. "

"You still have this ability?"

"Of course, I'm getting to know the person in charge of the stronghold of the Hunter's Guild. It's just a trivial matter to help you complete the hunter registration with a little bit of management."

"How?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Of course it's this one!" Cao Hong made a gesture of counting money mysteriously.

"As long as three thousand, I can help you complete the hunter's registration!"

Qi Yuan paused for a moment, then hesitantly said:

"I just came here and I don't have any money with me, why don't you lend it to me first and return it to you when I have money!"

"I--"

Cao Hong opened his mouth and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

After finally meeting a newcomer, he even asked me to borrow money. Is the quality of the Revenant Hunter so bad now!

Cao Hong's face changed several times in a row, until he saw the handle of the gun on Qi Yuan's waist, and then suppressed the urge to turn his head and leave.

"Brother, I am also short of cash! Otherwise, I will definitely lend you this money!"

Cao Hong let out a long sigh, and then changed the topic.

"Do you have any other valuables on you, such as weapons and the like? There is a black market here, which can be exchanged for cash."

"No!" Qi Yuan spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

Has my ability failed?

How could this person know to speak nonsense with his eyes open!

Cao Hong cursed in his heart, but his good professionalism made him endure it.

"I think the pistol on your waist is not bad. If you go to the black market, you can exchange it for some money!"

"This is what I eat." Qi Yuan patted the butcher on his waist.

The Death Harvest was not convenient to carry, so it was kept in the residence, and Qi Yuan only carried the Butcher on him.

Following Qi Yuan's movements, the butcher in the holster shook slightly, and Cao Hong's peripheral vision glanced at the body of the gun, and his expression froze.

Fuck!

Butcher!

He turned out to be a ruthless butcher!

Cao Hong has been in the steel chariot for many years, and he has already developed a pair of piercing eyes. Not only can he easily find strange faces from outside in the crowd, but he can also judge whether the opponent is a novice or a veteran from the expression and micro movements of the opponent. when.

So he quickly aimed at Qi Yuan, trying to make a fortune.

But when he saw the butcher on Qi Yuan's waist, he instantly realized that he had made a mistake.

There are also good and bad firearms. Generally, the strength and character of the user can be judged from the model of the firearm used.

For example, a butcher whose model is old but whose close-range shooting power is terrifying is definitely a symbol of violence.

At the price of a butcher, ordinary wild hunters would rather choose a submachine gun with a longer shooting distance than a butcher.

Because the butcher's recoil is too great, and because its range is not dominant, basically if it misses a shot, it can only wait for the enemy to get close to melee.

Moreover, the butcher's gunshots were too loud, one shot blasted out, and the roaring gunshots could be heard in a radius of several kilometers.

The insect beasts of the new era are not those beasts of the old era who would be scared off by gunshots. They will actively approach the location of the gunshots and hunt.

In other words, apart from being powerful enough, in the same price range, the butcher is simply useless!

A hunter who dares to use a butcher in the wilderness is either a mindless reckless man or a thug with amazing strength!

Once this kind of person realizes that he has been deceived, he will smash my head with a butcher without hesitation.

Thinking of the terrifying scene where Qi Yuan smashed his own head with a butcher, Cao Hong suddenly laughed a few times, and said with a gentle expression as much as possible:

"Brother Qi, since you don't want to part with this gun, forget it. Next time we have a chance, let's talk about it again. I have something to do and I'll leave first!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan didn't intend to draw his gun, Cao Hong was quietly relieved.

"Cao Hong, what are you doing?"

An angry voice suddenly came from behind, which startled Cao Hong immediately.

He turned around, just in time to see Jia Tao coming in a hurry.

"So it's Brother Jia Tao!" Cao Hong greeted him with winks, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"I think brother Qi is bored standing here alone, and I spend only a few days with him."

"Don't wink." Jia Tao scolded with a bad expression.

"Qi Yuan is my brother, and I still owe him a life. If you dare to play tricks, be careful that I will chop off your head!"

"How come! You misunderstood!"

Cao Hong smiled awkwardly, and then his eyes fell on the hunter badge on Jia Tao's chest.

"You... have advanced to C-level hunter?"

Cao Hong couldn't believe his eyes. He and Jia Tao were old acquaintances. They had gone on missions together before, so they knew Jia Tao's character very well.

A few days ago, when Jia Tao was preparing to go out to clear the swamp with Nie Xiu and his brothers, he also hinted that Jia Tao should not go with Nie Xiu, but Jia Tao, who was bent on revenge, didn't listen.

He originally thought that Jia Tao would definitely die in the hands of Nie Xiu, but he didn't expect that Jia Tao not only came back alive, but also advanced to the rank C hunter, the significance of which is self-evident.

The three brothers Nie Xiu are dead, and Jia Tao not only completed the difficult task of clearing the swamp, but also took the task reward alone, so he completed the promotion of the title of hunter.

With Jia Tao's strength, he couldn't deal with any of the three Nie Xiu brothers. This time he was able to come back alive this time, there must be other factors involved.

Thinking of what Jia Tao said just now, Cao Hong instantly understood the key.

It was Qi Yuan who saved Jia Tao!

In other words, the three brothers Nie Xiu probably died at the hands of Qi Yuan!

Fuck!

This Qi Yuan is a dragon crossing the river!

I actually hit him with the autumn wind!

Cao Hong looked at Qi Yuan with some fear, and said with a dry smile: "Since Qi Yuan is your brother, I will not make a fool of myself. With your recommendation, Brother Qi will definitely be able to join the Hunter Guild smoothly, so I will leave first."

Seeing Cao Hong leaving in a hurry, Jia Tao vaguely guessed what happened just now, and said with some embarrassment: "Although Cao Hong likes to take advantage of small things, he has never killed anyone. He is different from people like Nie Xiu."

"You know him very well?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

"We came across the wilderness together before." Jia Tao explained.

"However, after coming here, our contact has decreased. Although Cao Hong has stepped into the second level, his ability is in the mysterious domain, and his combat power is not strong, so he seldom takes out missions, and I don't know how he got mixed up. C-rank hunter."

"It's really not easy for a person like you to survive till now." Qi Yuan shook his head.

"Cao Hong should already be a third-level ability user. If you are half as smart as him, you won't be in such a miserable situation."

"Tier three?"

Jia Tao looked at the back of Cao Hong leaving in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his ears. The fastest m..c/o/m

A guy who lives by deceiving newcomers all day long, quietly advanced to the third level?

Although Jia Tao believed that Qi Yuan had no need to deceive himself, he still had some doubts this time.

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't explain, if he didn't feel something abnormal from Cao Hong, he wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing who relies on his mouth for food.

If Cao Hong was really just a second-order mysterious domain, the grave must have already grown grass. How could he be alive and kicking after being deceived for so many years.

It even made me feel a little dangerous.

If his mysterious domain ability has advanced to the third level, then everything can be explained.

The third-order mysterious domain ability already has a certain combat power, and the means are more unpredictable than other abilities. Steel defense can resist physical attacks, but it may not be effective in the face of the invasion of the mysterious domain ability.

"This is the task reward for clearing the swamp!" Jia Tao walked to the side, took out a thick black cloth bag, and handed it over.

Qi Yuan turned upside down, took out 20,000 yuan from it, and then threw it back to Jia Tao.

"According to the rules, one person is half!"

Before Jia Tao refused, Qi Yuan urged:

"Let's go, I don't need the money, you go and help me complete the registration first, pay attention to this Cao Hong, maybe you will have to deal with him in the future."

Jia Tao didn't worry about it any more, because with Qi Yuan's strength, he really wouldn't be short of money.

Jia Tao led Qi Yuan to the back of the holographic projection screen, and walked down a downward spiral staircase.

It wasn't until now that Qi Yuan discovered that the Hunter's Guild's stronghold seemed small and the floors were not high, but it was the part exposed above the ground, and there was still a larger space under the building.

"Most buildings of the Iron Chariot have this design, and the underground space is far more spacious than the upper space." Jia Tao explained in a low voice.

"It is said that the same is true in the black steel shelter. Some buildings even extend thousands of meters underground, and you must take an elevator to reach the target floor."

Qi Yuan nodded, vaguely guessing the reason why some buildings adopt this design.

In the thick lead cloud, there must be hidden unknown dangers. This kind of danger has not been conquered by human beings. Therefore, there are no satellites, no airplanes in the new era, and even dare not build high-rise buildings.

In the new era where great power belongs to itself, the strength of human beings has far surpassed that of the old era, but even so, human beings have not been able to become the masters of Aquamarine. There are still large unexplored areas on the ground, and the sky has become untouchable The forbidden zone, although it has not touched the ocean yet, it will certainly not be much better.

The world is still full of dangers.

Right now, the check-in point is only refreshed in the area where the gray and blue borders, and it will definitely be refreshed in the depths of the blue area in the future, and it may even be refreshed in other more dangerous places, such as the ocean, which is not as deep as the lead cloud.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan was a little worried, but at the same time looked forward to it.

The worry is that one day I will have to face these dangers that threaten the entire human race.

What I look forward to is that I will have stronger strength to face these dangers.

Walked down tens of meters, then walked through a long dark underground corridor, and stopped in front of a metal gate.

"Here, you need a C-level permission to enter here, and I will open the door."

Cao Hong approached the metal gate, and a green light curtain appeared out of thin air, sweeping across Cao Hong's face and the badge on his chest, and then there was a click sound from inside the gate, the metal gate slowly opened, and two heavily armed guards appeared in the field of vision .

"Jia Tao, welcome to the Hunter's House!" A guard said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Jia Tao responded, looked back at Qi Yuan, and said:

"This is Qi Yuan. I will be the guarantor and recommend him to join the Hunter Guild."

The guard glanced at Jia Tao in surprise. Although the Hunters Guild guarantees to recommend this program, few people are willing to do so, because doing so is equivalent to C-level hunters using their own authority to endorse others. Once there is a problem with the guarantor, the guarantee People will also be implicated, and may even have reduced authority.
