C1 Join the Guild

Gray clouds swirled in the sunless sky, and thunder roared and rain poured down.

However, the heavy rain was stopped in midair. It turned into dense water traces that slid down to the bottom, forming a smooth curved surface that formed a 'dome'.

Below the dome was Garden of Eden, one of the seven cities of the federation after the nuclear level.

Gao Zhan was standing in the special care ward of the federal hospital in the central area of Southern Asia New City. He looked through the stained glass window and lost focus in the crowded street corner, letting his thoughts drift away.

A month ago, the terrorist organization "Dusk Knight" launched a bomb attack on the memorial square of the liberation memorial in the central area, killing hundreds of people.

Including Gao Zhan's parents.

Gao Ying was lucky enough to avoid the disaster, but she did not wake up from her injuries. She was lying on the hospital bed, relying on drugs and equipment to maintain her life.

However, this state could only last for three months. Her body's functions would gradually decline and eventually become irreversible damage until she died. Only surgeries could save lives.

The cost of surgery that cost up to five hundred thousand points was once an astronomical figure that Gao Zhan did not even dare to imagine.

His eyes became even hollowed out. His arm stiffly took out his personal terminal from his inner pocket. It was made of translucent glass. On it was a short message that he had read.

"6: 00 PM, South District Central Park. A slim chance of survival.

- Wang Longjiang."

After reading the content, Gao Zhan quickly made a decision. He turned around and went to his sister's bed. He gently stroked her pale and delicate face with the back of his hand. His black eyes regained some color.

"Xiao Ying, I won't leave you alone."

...

Half an hour later, in the central park of Southern Asia New City, South District.

"Central Park" is a name that has been used since the old era. Today, this place had become a buffer zone between the city center and the slums. Various conflicts and vicious incidents were happening frequently.

As the motor started to hum slightly, the Maglev bus slowly drove into the platform in the rain.

Under the influence of the increasing radiation clouds, the storm had lasted for three months.

In Southern Asia New City, even after passing through the "sieve" of the dome, it was still cloudy and rainy.

Along the streets filled with water, they shuttled in front of the bustling street shops. Gao Zhan saw Wang Longjiang standing in front of the noodle shop from afar.

The middle-aged greasy uncle had a bald hairstyle. The corner of his shirt was half exposed to his casual shorts and was full of wrinkles. His belly was bulging and his curves were round.

"You're not bad." Wang Longjiang stared into Gao Zhan's eyes.

Gao Zhan did not know why Wang Longjiang said he was not bad. He looked at Wang Longjiang in confusion.

Wang Longjiang grinned and walked into the noodle house with Gao Zhan's shoulder. He didn't want to answer Gao Zhan's question.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Try the signature noodles here. I promise you it will suit your taste."

Before Gao Zhan could say anything, Wang Longjiang ordered the noodles on his terminal.

Gao Zhan quietly stared at Wang Longjiang's mouth full of yellow teeth.

"Operating fee. How much more do you need?" Wang Longjiang asked.

Gao Zhan was not surprised that Wang Longjiang knew about his family's situation.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand points."

The fifty thousand in Gao Zhan's hand came from the police's consolation money.

"Hiss." Wang Longjiang sucked in a breath of cold air. "This is not a small number."

Gao Zhan forced a smile and did not say anything.

"Life is never about work and work."

"Only you are willing. Money will not be a problem for you."

"It's just a matter of time." Wang Longjiang took two bowls of noodles from the delivery table and said intermittently, "As long as you survive."

"What exactly are you doing?"

"I'll take you to a place after I finish eating. You'll know when the time comes."

Wang Longjiang took a sip of the noodles and put half of the bowl into the temple. It was as if the bowl of noodles was the only delicacy left in the world.

Not a second later, he finished it. Wang Longjiang got up and walked out of the noodle house. Gao Zhan followed closely behind him. He walked along the street that was occupied by the red and blue neon lights and made many turns. He was covered in water and arrived in front of a rundown short building.

Walking into the hall, the lights were dim, and no one was on duty.

Wang Longjiang did not stop. Gao Zhan followed behind him and silently walked into the elevator.

After the red laser beam scanned up and down to confirm that it was safe, the elevator suddenly started and fell at a high speed. It brought a strong sense of weightlessness.

Gao Zhan was so scared that he hastily adjusted his body's center of gravity. After a slight shake, he stabilized his body and avoided falling down.

Wang Longjiang looked at the nervous Gao Zhan but did not say anything.

After an unknown amount of time, the elevator suddenly stopped. The elevator doors slid open on both sides. The first thing that entered Gao Zhan's eyes was a square silver space that was hundreds of square meters, like a sand dragon venue.

Countless figures were walking, resting, chatting, and enjoying the delicious food nearby.

"Welcome to the digital hall. This is the headquarters of the Old World Exploration Association in Southern Asia New City."

"Hunter?" Gao Zhan seemed to understand something.

"Yes, hunter!" Wang Longjiang turned around and stared into Gao Zhan's eyes. He asked seriously, "You can go back now."

Wang Longjiang waited quietly as he looked at Gao Zhan, who was deep in thought.

Under the dome, the roads that led in all directions supported the prosperity of the city. However, this was all an appearance.

The road. There were only two roads. Left or right.

"My father..."

Before Gao Zhan could finish, Wang Longjiang interrupted, "Yes."

"I'll go, then."

"You're not bad!" It was another good comment.

Wang Longjiang was suddenly very happy. He led Gao Zhan to the magnetic suspension platform on the right and arrived at the administrative hall on the right side of the negative second floor. Dozens of AI terminals were distributed on the milky white circular corridor.

By carrying personal terminals that represented personal identity and all kinds of functions, the personal information in the city service system was quickly introduced into the association system. The registration process was completed.

When Gao Zhan took back the personal terminal, Wang Longjiang patted his shoulder. "This way."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped onto the magnetic suspension platform, heading to the storage center on the negative third floor.

Several tracks of transportation passed through the thick black alloy wall and connected to the intelligent system in the depths. They had the ability to quickly classify, sort, and transport. They only needed to use the terminal to quickly pick out the items they needed. It was extremely efficient.

Of course, the corresponding consumption points were naturally not small at all.

"Let me think... first I'll rent a power suit, a rifle and ammunition, emergency drugs and temporary strengthening drugs... Although the price is a little expensive, they are all things that can save lives. I can't afford to be careless..."

Wang Longjiang seemed to be talking casually. He passed a lot of things to Gao Zhan. He quickly helped Gao Zhan pick out the equipment and sent the list to Gao Zhan's terminal.

"Power Server (30 days rent) : 20,000 points

Rifle and ammunition: 5,000 points

Emergency medicine (box): 5,000 points

Temporary strengthening drug (bottle): 5,000 points

Looking at the equipment on the screen that cost a total of 35,000 points, Gao Zhan touched his nose and said awkwardly, "I don't have enough points."

Almost all of his savings had been deposited into his sister's hospital account. His balance did not exceed 500 points.

"No way!" Wang Longjiang wailed and reluctantly completed the payment. "I must have owed you and your son in my previous life! F * ck!"

After that, the tracks began to turn. A large, pitch-black suitcase with the logo of the 'Old Era Exploration Association' was delivered to the front.

Wang Longjiang's eyes were filled with resentment, and he said impatiently, "Remember to return the money!"

"Got it!"

Gao Zhan rubbed his forehead and felt that life was more and more difficult.

Holding the suitcase, the two of them went to the basic training ground on the same floor. They completed the one hour and five hundred spending points rent.

"I'll take your bill."

After putting the terminal in his pocket, Wang Longjiang opened the suitcase. He took the equipment and introduced them one by one.

"PA-II power suit, fully enclosed design, with a power support device and an intelligent system.

Maximum working time: 10 days.

Full load working time: 24 hours"

"KI4 Combat Rifle, 7.62 caliber Full Power Bullet, standard load of 30 rounds.

It has a high lethality and strong restraining effect, but it can only instantly kill the enemy when it hits the fatal area"

"Emergency medicine, including medical gauze, duct tape, rapid tourniquet, and other emergencies on the battlefield."

"Temporary strengthening drug. Improve the body function of the injector within a short period of time. The side effects are very strong, and can only be used once a week! " Otherwise, if it is light, it will cause damage to one's intelligence. If it is heavy, it will result in death on the spot! "

Wang Longjiang's expression was serious, and he had a good temperament. He no longer had the amiable image of a middle-aged uncle.

"Do you remember?"

"Yes.."

"Let's hurry up and familiarize ourselves. Tomorrow at six in the morning, gather on the first floor."

After saying that, Wang Longjiang turned around and left.

...

An hour later, Gao Zhan left with his huge black suitcase.

"I have a nurse to take care of me. Don't worry too much. Let's go back to the apartment and put the equipment away."

After thinking about it, he walked to the bus stop. After spending 3 points, he returned to the center of Southern Asia New City's prosperous heart, Central District.

This was a temporary apartment provided by the police. The furniture in the room was covered with a white dust-proof gauze cover. In the wardrobe, there were all kinds of clothes that had yet to be opened.

The room was clear to the north and south, and on the south side was a huge floating window that could see the surging river.

Placing the suitcase in the corner, he walked into the bathroom and washed it. As soon as he changed into clean clothes, the terminal rang a message notification.

It was a short message from Wang Longjiang. It contained the details of the mission and the basic information.

Mission Coordinates: A0419

Mission Type: E

[Mission Time: 4 days]

Basic Reward: 5,000 + Recycle Reward

Requirements to receive : Three people and a team of three people and above formed by Low Level Hunters. "

A0419 is the new generation's code for Earth's coordinates. Through comparing the basic information, Gao Zhan learned that the approximate range was in the former Tokyo region of Japan. It was a region where human activity was frequent in the old generation. The degree of danger was not high.

It corresponded to the E-class mission target, which was mainly for exploration and recycling.

It was considered a good mission to let rookies pass the adaptation period mission.

"I didn't think that such a greasy uncle would be so meticulous."

Five days, 5000 spending points, just enough to match the hospitalization fees of his little sister.

Contribution points, a unique value in the association, could be used to exchange for any items on the market or items that did not exist.

The exchange rate with the consumption points was 1: 100.

Gao Zhan continued.

Low Level Hunter? A three-man team? I wonder who the other team member is. He's about the same age as Uncle Jiang...

He opened the basic information again and flipped to the ranking of the association members.

The association members were also known as "Digital Hunter," which was divided into levels 0-12. Among them, level 0 was a trainee hunter, and new members who had yet to accumulate enough contribution points to strengthen themselves.

Level 1-3 was a low-level Digital Hunter, which corresponded to the Digital Hunter who had successfully strengthened his I- and II-IDs. He had a stronger physical quality than ordinary people.

Level 4-6 was a middle-level Digital Hunter, and for the other Digital Hunter who had successfully completed the I-III evolution, their physical attributes would be stronger, and they would awaken special abilities that were compatible with their own bodies.

Level-7 to Level-9 was an Advanced Digital Hunter, 10-12 was an Advanced Digital Hunter, and 10-12 was an Advanced Digital Hunter. Other than that, there was no other information about the two.

F * ck!

A thought suddenly flashed through Gao Zhan's mind.

For so many years, Uncle Jiang was still lingering at a low rank?

It seemed like there was another trick to it!

Gao Zhan felt a headache. He immediately sent a message to the police station and flipped to the terminal screen. He gritted his teeth and set his goal. "Knight King, I will make you pay with blood!"

"The main culprit behind the explosion of the monument of liberation in the middle area of Dusk Knight's faction, Knight King, was active in America and Europe. He participated in many terrorist attacks against Southern Asia New City..."

It was as if he had been hit by a mosaic in the middle of the video. It was a slim figure, the founder of the terrorist organization, "Knight King," Qian Mo.
