Summoning Mercenaries

A round of tomorrow hangs in the air and reflects the earth, and the rising heat also makes the road look doubled inside the car.

The pickup truck of the Kent group was fully air-conditioned, and everyone wanted to feel the heat, but they all felt very cool.

Laura said she didn't eat snacks, but she was very honest. She was playing games with mobile phones that didn't require the Internet with Ashley and Qin, and she was also eating the potato chips Kent gave her.

Simon was still wearing a skull mask in silence and was concentrating on driving, while Kent was also attentively listening to Quill's explanation.

Quill frowned slightly, put away the tablet, squeezed his chin with one hand and said: "It was rumored that there seemed to be something in this ruin, and then it was strictly controlled, and then we encountered this unprecedented epidemic. It feels like it’s definitely not a coincidence.”

"Humm..." Kent also fell silent when he heard the words. He didn't know much about the political system of this world, but when it came to Mars, only the northern hemisphere was affected, and most of the small and medium-sized towns in the northern hemisphere fell into the hands of Grad. This thing seems to be on the horizon.

So, Kent said in a deep voice: "Professor, what if, I said, if the virus was found in the ruins, and then the government indirectly wiped out the population of the northern hemisphere of Mars through the hands of the virus?"

"This!" Quill opened his eyes wide, not wanting to believe that Kent would say this, but after thinking for a moment, Quill said:

"I'm just an archaeologist, and I don't know much about biology or chemistry, but from my point of view, the virus that caused this epidemic is likely to come from that ruins, but only on-site exploration can tell Know the truth."

"Indeed, it's useless for us to analyze here." Kent said.

"Huh?" Quill looked at Kent and asked, "Why do you say this is a conspiracy by the government?"

"This..." Kent pondered for a long time but couldn't say why.

He only learned through Simon that most of the small and medium-sized towns in the north of Mars fell into the hands of Grad, and the government couldn't effectively solve this problem.

But what if the remains were unearthed and this highly contagious virus was found?

The government is very likely to wipe out the northern hemisphere of Mars by manipulating this "natural disaster", after all, the north is very backward.

Instead of being dragged down by these poor people, it is better to directly obliterate it. This is indeed the correct choice from a political and economic standpoint.

At this moment, Simon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said in a deep voice: "What Kent said doesn't make sense.

When I was serving on Mars before, it revealed a plan to sweep up the northern hemisphere, but Glad and the top officials of the Mars government seemed to have reached an agreement, so the plan that would trigger a full-scale war was finally cancelled.

However, in the current zombie crisis, only the backward northern hemisphere is the most affected, while the more prosperous southern hemisphere has not been affected at all. It is strange to think about it. "

"No... no way, shouldn't the government always consider for the people? How... how..." Quill couldn't believe it.

Although Quayle has a high academic status, he doesn't know anything about politics. In other words, Quayle is just a pure scholar who doesn't believe that the government will do such a dehumanizing thing.

"Not necessarily." Kent waved his hand and said, "Of course, all of this is just speculation. No one knows the real reason. After all, Professor, you also said that you can only find out the reason by going to the site of the ruins, right? "

"Well, I can only come up with some conclusions after conducting on-site surveys." Quill also nodded, and said, "However, the virus aspect still needs to be studied by biologists."

--------------------------------------------

Kent and his party drove to the south of Mars almost unimpeded on the highway,

Even if you encounter zombies on the road, they are just here and there.

Coupled with the unique geographical reasons of Mars, the northern and southern hemispheres are not blocked by oceans like the earth, so you can drive from the north to the south by driving along the high speed.

In just two days, the Kent group passed the Martian equator from Phoenix City at about 20° north latitude, and arrived at Boriska City at about 10° south latitude in only half a day.

But when crossing the equator, it's not just Kent's pickup trucks on the highway, there are more and more vehicles on the road, and the survivors are also rushing to the southern part of Mars.

Even if the number of survivors increases, the road is still smooth and will not cause congestion, because the survivors are only a minority of the minority.

Before entering the residential area in the southern hemisphere, there was a real army to check the highway, and there were fortification walls blocking the traffic arteries

It can be seen that all this seems to have been prepared long ago, otherwise the southern part of Mars would not have made an emergency response so quickly.

Of course, Kent doesn't care about whether the government has any conspiracy. He only cares about going to Boriska City and becoming a mercenary as soon as possible, otherwise his second brother will be lost.

...

Kent sat in the co-pilot, pointed to the AK-12 and SCAR-L, and asked Simon, "How will you explain this to the army later?"

Looking forward from the inside of the car, there is a military checkpoint not far from the field of vision.

Between Kent and others and the checkpoint, there are three or four other survivors' vehicles, which are slowly being checked in line.

"Just say it's for home use." Simon said lightly.

At this moment, Simon, who had already taken off his ghost mask, just shrugged, not paying attention to the checkpoint ahead.

"Hello." Kent picked up the SCAR-L, tapped the grenade launcher, and frowned: "Civilians can buy these? Plus we still have more than 300,000 in cash."

"..." Simon didn't know how to answer.

However, at this moment, Quill shook his hand and said, "Kent, you can be said to be our armed guard."

"Oh?" Kent looked back at Quill upon hearing the words, and asked, "Can armed guards legally carry heavy weapons?"

"This... I don't know the weapon requirements of the armed guards, but I can say that you were hired by Oxford University to protect us from going to the ruins for archaeology, so that we can reasonably explain the origin of your cash." Quill suggested.

Quill and his students became very familiar with Kent and the others during this period. Although they didn't ask what happened to the bag of cash, everyone knew that the cash came from It was taken from the Grad organization.

As for Kent, he can also trust Quill and others because Quill, Ashley, and Qin each contributed 10 trust points to him.

With the plug-in of the system, he can also be sure that Quill and the others definitely have good intentions.

"Well, that's the only way to go." Kent could only nod his head in agreement. After all, there is no better reason than this excuse.
