Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 239 Resettlement Camp No.

Although Sun Hang knew that his conscription plan would be approved, he never expected that it would be passed so quickly.

Early the next morning, Sun Hang's cell phone rang with an important message. He carefully pulled his arm, which was numb from being pillowed, away from under Wang Xiyi's head, got out of bed, and turned on his cell phone.

Tianshu Tower and the Federal Parliament have already approved his plan. Not only has it not been modified in the slightest, but every word in the message seems to be urging him to implement it quickly... Some members of parliament even proposed to implement this conscription plan starting today.

In the words of those congressmen, this not only solved the employment problems of the disaster-stricken citizens, but also supplemented the human resources of the various defense departments in Tianfu City, which were short of staff. In addition to the field team of the institute, they suggested that the Shuzhou Military Region, Tianfu City Defense Guard, and Tianfu City Public Security Bureau should follow suit and recruit reserve members from the disaster-stricken population.

As for Sun Hang’s plan to recruit minors, it was not mentioned in the news, but likewise, it was not denied.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiyi propped herself up sleepily, the thin blanket outlining her beautiful curves, and muttered, "Do you have a mission so early in the morning?"

"It's not a mission." Sun Hang shook his head.

"Then stay with me for a while."

"But it's more important than the mission." Sun Hang quickly put on his clothes and put his phone in his pocket.

"Something more important than the mission?" Wang Xiyi was startled and suddenly lost all sleepiness. She jumped out of the bed naked, "Could there be something wrong in the underground palace?"

"Calm down, calm down." Sun Hang waved his hand. "It's just that the conscription plan I drafted was approved. The Federal Parliament is urging me to conscript soldiers."

"Tsk, I thought it was something important." Wang Xiyi stretched lazily, not caring that her perfect body was being seen by Sun Hang. "How about it, do you need me to accompany you?"

"Today we should first find a refugee resettlement camp with fewer people to test people's reactions." Sun Hang said, "Your image is too eye-catching, so it's better to keep the pilot operation low-key."

"What do you mean by eye-catching?" Wang Xiyi turned sideways and gently lifted her long hair that fell on her shoulders. Her slender hair gently wrapped around Sun Hang's ankles, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was almost stringy.

"Oh my god, where did you learn this?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, "Old Wang, could it be that you have been possessed by Bao Si?"

"What? Can't I be feminine?" The tail wrapped around Sun Hang's ankle tightened suddenly, as if it would swing him away if Sun Hang said something careless.

"No, I was just joking." Sun Hang smiled awkwardly, "What I meant is that your dragon horns and tail are too conspicuous. I'm worried that there will be extremists among the refugees who hate the infected... Although I know they can't hurt you at all, if they cause a riot, the situation will be bad."

"It's not a big problem. I can just go to the field department and borrow a full-covering powered exoskeleton. Once I put it on, you can't tell whether you're a man or a woman." Wang Xiyi said.

"Then what about your tail? There shouldn't be space for a tail in the powered exoskeleton designed for humans, right?" Sun Hang glanced at the dragon's tail still wrapped around his ankle.

"This is easier. Just find the largest exoskeleton you can find and wrap the tail around your waist."

……

……

Tianfu City, west of the city.

A convoy with the emblem of the Tianfu City Weird Research Institute slowly drove into a refugee resettlement camp with a population of about a thousand. Sun Hang stuck his head out of the car window and took a look at the huge metal sign standing at the entrance.

"Temporary resettlement camp number six."

A simple podium had been set up before Sun Hang and his team arrived. Several cars slowly stopped beside the podium. As soon as Sun Hang opened the car door, a powered exoskeleton more than three meters high that had been clinging to the back of the car fell to the ground with a bang and followed closely behind him.

"How about this outfit of mine? It's very cool, right?" Wang Xiyi's voice sounded in Sun Hang's headphones.

"Handsome, handsome, handsome." Sun Hang responded repeatedly.

This powered exoskeleton is similar to the powered armor in science fiction films and TV shows, except that compared to the iron can properties of powered armor, the powered exoskeleton focuses more on mobility and terrain adaptability rather than defensive performance - after all, the defensive power of a humanoid mecha can never exceed that of a heavy tank.

Wang Xiyi, wearing a powered exoskeleton and holding a 20mm portable machine gun, stood behind Sun Hang like a personal bodyguard, which made Ye Jiu, who jumped out of another car, stunned.

"This guy... is he the bodyguard assigned to you by the higher-ups?" Ye Jiu asked doubtfully, "With your abilities, is he protecting you or you protecting him?"

"It's not a bodyguard, it's Lao Wang." Sun Hang explained, "I was worried that her image would be too eye-catching, so I let her appear in this way."

"This armor is also quite eye-catching."

"At least it won't incur the hatred of some extremists." Sun Hang whispered, "I've seen a statistic on the Internet before. In the eyes of Tianfu City netizens, 7.1% of people believe that there is no difference between infected people and weird things."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Ye Jiu nodded. "It would be troublesome if a riot broke out, leading to pushing and trampling."

"Ah."

"By the way, I thought about it carefully yesterday, and I always feel that your plan is a bit inappropriate." Ye Jiu said, "Even if we conduct high-intensity actual combat training, it will take at least half a year to train a qualified field operator from scratch... Add to that the elimination rate due to death and disability... Don't you think the cost-effectiveness is too low? In my opinion, the best way is to draw people from the military systems of various places. At least those people have a certain foundation, and many basic training items can be omitted..."

"I didn't set up this conscription plan simply to expand the field department... I plan to build a special force, a force that can fight against monsters with mortal bodies." Sun Hang said seriously, "So it is necessary to train from scratch... If time permits, I even want to start training from infants..."

"Are you not sick?" Ye Jiu looked at Sun Hang strangely, "Are you the infected one or am I the infected one?"

"I'm an infected person." Sun Hang said, "If you want to become an infected person, I can help you and ensure it's safe and painless." "Fuck, that's not what I meant. I mean, have you joined that shitty 'reform faction'?" Ye Jiu complained, "Fighting against monsters as an ordinary person? Only someone like Deng Yi would say such a thing in public... You know her ending... Anyone who is not a fool knows that in this war, ordinary people can only serve as auxiliary, and the real fighting force is actually you hunters."

"how about you?"

"Me?" Ye Jiu was slightly startled. "I'm different... Although I'm not a hunter, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sun Hang: "How many people are qualified to use the Trickster Equipment in the Federation?"

"I forgot... It seems that there are only about a hundred people, or maybe less than a hundred." Ye Jiu muttered, "I don't care much about this matter. In my spare time, I either play games or practice combat skills. How can I have the time to understand such unimportant things."

"Less than a hundred people, which means they can't be considered a significant fighting force?"

"Although what you said sounds annoying, I have to admit that you are right." Ye Jiu nodded. "The qualified people of the strange equipment are too rare. The appearance rate is lower than winning a 5 million lottery ticket... The hunters who are infected are the main force of the battle, and we can only be regarded as supplementary."

"What if the strange equipment and qualified personnel can be mass-produced?" Sun Hang casually asked a question that was no less than a magnitude twelve earthquake for Ye Jiu.

"What did you say?" Ye Jiu opened his eyes slightly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If the Trickster Equipment and qualified people can be mass-produced, the Federation would have equipped the army with Trickster Equipment long ago, and there would be no place for hunters!"

"Think about the power of the red crystal," Sun Hang reminded. "Since it is difficult to find a suitable person for the naturally generated strange equipment, what if I tailor a set of strange equipment for the suitable person based on his or her temperament?"

Ye Jiu's breathing stagnated... Not only his breathing, but even his thinking stopped at this moment. After several seconds, he finally reacted and asked hurriedly: "Have you tried it?"

"Not yet." Sun Hang said, "But I think the probability is still quite high. Shang Dalin can create so many terracotta warriors who obey his command, so it shouldn't be too difficult for me to make some weapons and equipment for the soldiers to use. Not to mention, those strange armors and weapons can be regarded as strange equipment themselves. In this case..."

Sun Hang didn't continue speaking, but Ye Jiu already fully understood his thoughts.

"Too crazy... I can't believe what a sensation it will cause if you succeed..." Ye Jiu murmured, "Have you reported this matter?"

"Not yet. I plan to report it after the experiment is successful." Sun Hang shook his head, "Remember to keep it confidential."

"Yes, I know." Ye Jiu nodded repeatedly. He was very clear about the importance of this matter. Once it was spread out, it would really cause an earthquake within the federation.

But there was one thing Sun Hang didn't tell him.

Sun Hang did this out of selfish motives - he wanted to build an army that was loyal to himself, powerful and capable of continuous expansion, or in other words, "death squad."

He was not trying to overthrow the Xiazhou Federation, nor was he very interested in so-called power... He just felt it was necessary to do so.

He also thought that establishing such a force might lead to suspicion of "holding troops for self-reliance"... But after thinking about it carefully, this did not seem to be a big problem.

As long as one's own strength is strong enough, suspicion will turn into fear.

When others doubt that you have the ability to subvert the world, you'd better really have it.

……

A call to action was broadcast in the refugee resettlement camp. With the guarantee that everyone participating in the rally would receive a basket of eggs, a large group of men, women, and children quickly gathered in the open space in front of the podium. Sun Hang estimated the number of people to be around seven or eight hundred.

In fact, there are about a hundred minors who are suitable for recruitment as "death soldiers".

A civilian operator from the field department walked up to the podium and announced the news of the recruitment of reserve operators to the residents of the resettlement camp in the simplest terms. Sun Hang noticed that when some children heard that they could take up weapons and fight monsters, they flinched in the eyes of some children, while others showed an eager look on their faces.

However, when the civilian operator mentioned that the mortality rate of the entire training process might be between 10% and 15%, the eager expressions on the faces of quite a few children disappeared, and were replaced by fear, worry and confusion.

Many adults also held back their children, fearing that their children would get carried away and rush forward.

"That's roughly the situation." The civilian operator said, "We will divide adults and minors into two batches for training. In addition to combat training, minors will also receive corresponding cultural education. During the training period, all expenses will be paid by the federal government..."

Before he finished speaking, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old with an expressionless face suddenly emerged from the crowd and raised his hand: "I want to apply."

The next second, a bloated middle-aged woman pushed through the crowd and ran to the boy. She grabbed his ear and slapped the back of his head with her other hand, cursing, "You idiot, are you trying to kill yourself? What are you going to do with the brothers and sisters in the house? What are you going to do with the old man you're still trying to save? You still dare to struggle? Anyway, you don't want to live anymore, so I'm going to beat you to death today!"

"Please...madam, please calm down..." The civilian clerk read the official document well, but it was obvious that he had never faced such a situation before. He was a little at a loss for a moment holding the microphone in his hand.

Sun Hang walked over, took the microphone, cleared his throat, and said to himself: "Ahem, I forgot to tell you something very important. All reserve operators who can pass the training will be officially organized by the Tianshu Tower, and they and their families will be able to enjoy at least the treatment of federal Class B talents."

The middle-aged woman's raised hand suddenly stopped. She turned her head and glanced at Sun Hang on the stage. She swallowed subconsciously and asked, "This... Leader, may I ask, what exactly is this 'Class B Talent Treatment'?"

"In addition to all the benefits of federal civil servants, there will be an additional monthly cash allowance of 30,000 yuan, a single-family house of more than 200 square meters, and a distribution of living supplies of level three or above... Oh, according to the current standards of Tianfu City, the supplies that can be distributed at this level include but are not limited to steak, chocolate, and fresh fruit."

Sun Hang paused, then continued, "Except for personal privileges and cash allowances, all benefits can be shared with immediate family members. Of course, if the operator is a minor, the cash allowance will be directly deposited into the guardian's account."

Sun Hang noticed that the middle-aged woman's breathing became noticeably faster.
