Chapter 651 - 651 Level 3+Level 6, Is That equivalent to Level 9? (1)

651 Level 3+Level 6, Is That equivalent to Level 9? (1)

“Are these people… really not afraid of death?”

Although Hong Zhijie had seen many mercenaries who risked their lives for money, he had never seen people like these who directly rushed towards a suspected Level 8 beast to kill it.

This was simply unreasonable…

On the other hand, the captain looked like he was used to it.

He explained.

“Sir, it’s like this in Qingquan.”

“People are very aggressive against all kinds of high-level exotic beasts…”

“Other than during the beast tide, the rest will take the initiative to attack the mutated beasts they see.”

“In addition, they probably don’t know that the beast might be as high as Level 8 this time, so…”

Hearing his captain’s words, Hong Zhijun frowned and could not help but say.

“Then can we get these people to leave?”

“Level 8 beasts can’t be easily taken advantage of.”

“A lot of people will die if we’re not careful.”

The captain shook his head.

“Sir, there’s nothing we can do about this.”

This captain seemed to have tried this kind of thing a long time ago. This could be seen from the tone as he explained.

“We’ve tried that before.”

“But these mercenaries don’t even care about us.”

“Although there isn’t any friction between us, our relationship definitely isn’t harmonious.”

“It’s already good enough that they don’t mess around with us in the wilderness while we’re on a mission.”

Hong Zhijie didn’t expect the army in Qingquan to be like this.

Their ruling was a little too weak…

On the way, Hong Zhijie didn’t ask anything else after understanding the situation.

Instead, he began to consider how he should deal with this problem if a Level 8 beast really appeared.

Exotic beasts of this level could completely destroy a city.

Although this thing seemed to be only eight meters tall.

However, the city wall of Clear Spring City was only about 20 meters tall.

This thing was half the height of the city wall.

If he had any other abilities, Hong Zhijie did not think that the city wall could stop this Level 8 beast.

He couldn’t… really use crystal core bombs to carry out a suicide attack, right?

Or should he order some powerful lethal weapons from the Truth Corporation?

Hong Zhijie remembered that the Truth Corporation had designed a special ability weapon to deal with Level 8 beasts.

However, it was obvious that the price of this thing was definitely not something the army could afford.

Just like that, they were worried all the way. After the captain drove for about 20 minutes, the two of them stopped at the edge of a forest.

And here was the watchtower of a legion.

Because the people in Qingquan City were tough, they had better control outside the city than in Jiangzhou City.

That was why he had the courage to build the building several kilometers away.

After the two of them got out of the car, the captain looked at the dozens of legionaries guarding the watchtower and hurriedly said.

“What’s the situation now? Where is the Demon Rock Giant?”

“The news from the tower just now said that the guy suddenly stopped about a kilometer ahead. Now, we can’t see his figure. I wonder if he squatted down or lay down.”

Hearing the soldier’s report, the captain frowned and thought about it.

“It should be looking for food…”

“This kind of mutated beast is very rare in Qingquan City. The last time I saw it was more than ten years ago.”

“They like to eat all kinds of hard things.”

“There—”

Before the captain could finish speaking, another soldier widened his eyes and suddenly shouted.

“It’s an iron mine!”

“It should be from the Li Trading Company in the city!”

“F*ck!”

The soldier’s words made the captain’s lips twitch.

“Why is it from the Li Trading Company? Have the higher-ups called?”

The soldier shook his head.

However, as soon as the captain finished speaking, the communicator on a soldier beside him rang.

“Captain, it’s… It’s Regiment Commander Li.”

“Bad luck!”

Looking at the communicator handed over by the soldier, the captain cursed under his breath before taking it.

“Regiment Commander, what’s the matter?”

“Bao Liang! Bring people to the eight-kilometer mine in the west of the city immediately. You’re the closest to that place, right?”

The captain named Bao Liang gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Yes, Regiment Commander, but…”

“There’s no buts. There’s an important person there who’s preparing to receive the ores, but he’s now trapped by a mutated beast. Hurry up and bring someone over!”

Hong Zhijie frowned when he heard what Regiment Commander Li said.

Wasn’t this sending these soldiers to their deaths?

“Give me the phone. I’ll talk.”

With that, Hong Zhijie took the communicator from Bao Liang’s hand.

“Hello, I’m Hong Zhijie.”

On the other end of the phone, Regiment Commander Li was stunned for a moment when he heard Hong Zhijie introduce himself. Then, he said in a gentler tone,

“So it’s Regiment Commander Hong. I’m sorry.”

“What can I do for you, Regiment Commander Hong?”

Hong Zhijie couldn’t be bothered to speak to this person in an official tone. He directly said.

“There might be a Level 8 mutated beast there. Calling people over now is tantamount to sending them over to die.”

On the other end of the phone, Regiment Commander Li was silent for a moment. He didn’t continue to talk nonsense. Instead, he said.

“Commander Hong?”

“Those soldiers are soldiers in my regiment. I have the authority to send them on missions.”

“Besides, if anything happens to the big shots in the mine, it’s not something our army can bear.”
