Summoning Mercenaries

"Squeak!" The harsh sound of brake pads resounded throughout the checkpoint.

At this time, Simon had already driven the pickup truck to the checkpoint, and saw that the toll booth had been transformed into a small military fortress.

There were originally six passages, but now only the middle two are open, and the remaining four passages are blocked by sandbags. Behind the sandbags are heavy machine guns controlled by two soldiers.

There are heavily armed soldiers behind the heavy machine guns, and the equipment is similar to the soldiers Kent traveled through the previous world.

Military uniforms in desert camouflage, light body armor with external armed belts, helmets and masks.

However, if you look closely at these soldiers, there are a variety of pendants. There is a small display on the right front of the helmet, which can display the number of remaining bullets in the magazine and the health status of the soldiers.

There is a microcomputer on the right wrist of the officer, and he can directly get the real-time information of the soldiers in the entire squad.

It can be said that at first glance, these soldiers are similar to the dress and equipment of the soldiers before the Kent crossing, but a closer look reveals a qualitative difference.

...

When Kent, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, observed these soldiers, the soldier who looked like an officer had already stepped forward slowly, walked to the window of the driver's seat of the pickup truck, and knocked on it.

After Simon lowered the car window, the officer frowned slightly after seeing Kent and Simon's equipment: "Gentlemen, please get out of the car for inspection."

"good."

Simon waved his hand, and then everyone in the pickup truck opened the door and walked out.

The officer also waved behind him, and then three soldiers jogged over and saluted the officer, "Sir!"

"Hmm." The officer nodded slightly, pointed to Kent and his group and said, "One of you will search the pickup truck thoroughly, and the other will search the three ladies."

"Yes! Sir!" The three soldiers said in unison, and then two of them ran out, and one of them opened the door of the pickup truck and walked into the car to start searching.

The other person walked up to the girls, saluted them with a military salute, and then began to search them.

Due to the characteristics of the zombie virus, it can be assimilated into a zombie within ten minutes after being bitten, so the soldiers did not ask the girls to take off their clothes to check whether they had been bitten.

However, the only soldier left behind the officer looked on guard, looking at Kent, Simon and Quill.

At this time, the officer also started to speak, looked at Kent and Simon, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you two?"

"..." Simon didn't speak.

But Kent smiled slightly and said, "Hi, my teammates and I are mercenaries hired to protect (pointing to Quill next to him) this Oxford University professor."

As soon as Kent finished speaking, Quill took out his ID card in time, handed it to the officer and said, "Hello, my name is Quill Sears, a professor of history at Oxford University and an archaeologist.

My students and I are going to investigate the prehistoric relics in the urban area of ​​Sidonia. The school considers the reason of the Grad armed organization, so it provides funds for me to hire some security personnel. "

Speaking of this, Quill's eyes were reddish, he took a deep breath through his nose, and said in fear: "Without these two (pointing to Kent and Simon), my students and I...may not have survived .”

After receiving Quill's ID card, the officer frowned and gave it back to Quill. Then he looked at Kent and Simon and asked, "You...have nothing to do with Grad?"

"No." Kent and Simon said in unison.

At this moment, the soldier who searched the pickup came to the officer with a black travel bag, saluted the officer and said:

"Report, no suspicious items were found, only night vision goggles and a lot of food and drinking water, but a large bag of cash was found!"

"Oh?" Hearing the soldier's report,

The officer, who was frowning tightly, finally relaxed his brows a lot. He bent over and opened the travel bag. After confirming that there was a lot of cash in it, he got up and said, "What is this cash?"

"Hehe." Kent chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. officer, you should know that we mercenaries always like to accept cash. As for those who use Swiss banks to transfer money, they are all big military contractors. .”

"Well, indeed." The officer squeezed his chin with one hand, with a sense of sarcasm: "You are a group of desperadoes who work for money, and you can only feel at ease if you have money by your side."

Kent didn't care about the officer's words, but smiled and said, "Hehe, you are a regular army, and we are just second-rate trash. If you don't protect this important road, the south of Mars will suffer."

"That's it." The officer was very satisfied with Kent's words, looking up at Kent and Simon with a complacent look.

"..." Although Simon didn't say anything, he clenched his fists and looked at the officer with narrowed eyes.

Kent just glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and he knew why Simon was so upset. After all, Simon was from the Special Operations Department, and he was a little annoyed to be ridiculed by a mere sergeant.

However, the sergeant officer did not intend to let Kent and the others pass, but rubbed his right index finger and thumb back and forth, as if to indicate something.

Of course, Kent noticed the petty behavior of the sergeant officer. He walked to the travel bag full of cash, took out three stacks of banknotes and stuffed them into the opponent's hand, saying:

"Look at you, it's a hot day, and you still have to check the vehicle to ensure the safety of the rear. The 30,000 cash will be treated as a brother and I will reward you. Look at this pass..."

"Oh?" The sergeant officer secretly took the banknote, squeezed it with his hands, and immediately put it in his pocket, and then said with a smile on his face: "Not bad, not bad, you mercenaries are not fools, are you?"

"That is." Kent continued with a smile on his face, "After all, you are also protecting us, isn't this pass...?"

"Of course!" The sergeant officer waved his hand, glanced back, and said loudly, "Soldier! Give them a pass!"

"Yes!" A soldier gave a military salute, turned around and ran towards the simple shed set up beside him.

In less than half a minute, the soldier handed a document to Kent.

At this time, the sergeant officer smiled slightly and said: "With this, it can be said that going to Boriska from here is unimpeded. Your 30,000 yuan is not in vain."

"Thanks." Kent also laughed back, and then led everyone into the car.

Kent sat in the co-pilot, still smiling at the officer through the car window.

But when Simon drove the pickup truck away from the checkpoint, Kent's smile froze, and he said expressionlessly, "Hey, if he had absolute strength, he would have dealt with those crooked people long ago."
