Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 140 139. The most urgent task is to quickly turn the figurines into combat power (rd update)
A good car and a broken car drove into the parking area at the same time, attracting many mercenaries who were still stationed in the parking area to stop and watch.

The car in front looks extremely impressive. It is already the top of the small stronghold and is a good thing that many people cannot afford even if they work hard all their lives until they die.

The one at the back is a bit stingy, but why did they come in together?
Then they watched in astonishment as the two cars went to the recycling point opened by the Abian Company. The mercenary said he wanted to sell the car in the back - and to collect physical evidence at the same time.

What exactly that car was, spread throughout the entire rest area within the next ten minutes.

Then everyone found out that there was a company specializing in hunting mercenaries operating nearby, and they had even been killed by a mercenary!
And such good things?

A group of people ran over to inquire, but unfortunately the owner of the car had no interest in the outside world.

Even after handing over the task of securing evidence and confirming his contribution to the mercenary group, the car owner quietly drove the car into the parking area and fell silent.

He neither communicated with outsiders nor provided any communication channels. He even waited for a long time, until the mercenaries had lost their patience with such a guy who refused to communicate, before he suddenly opened the warehouse.

An open-top vehicle with a motorcycle in front and a two-wheeled crawler box hanging at the back slowly drove out of the hangar.

Although I haven't mentioned it much before, there are actually quite a lot of vehicles on the car. Not only is there a large motorcycle that Tien has to clean almost every day, but there is also this weird thing that looks like it has extremely high fuel consumption.

According to the owner and current driver, Shengnai, this car is very suitable for bringing back the wounded from the battlefield, and it can cross many ravines, which is very convenient.

As for the appearance, it was also learned from visions.

...You really want to dig out the origin of all things from visions, right? Please pay the copyright fee.

Sefer and Tien squatted in the truck bed and let Sanai, who was wearing a small helmet, go directly out to the node city of the transformation agency.

Mixed in with the majority of mercenaries, Cypher suddenly poked his head out—incidentally, he was now using a spare body with a male appearance and skin.

"We can just go to the node city and do the dungeon, why does Shengnai want to join in the fun?"

Sheng Nai, who was concentrating on driving, smiled, his voice a little muffled from under his face mask: "Because I found a job that can earn some subsidies for the car?"

"The medical station at the reformation facility is gradually becoming short-staffed due to the increasing number of mercenaries and the increasing intensity of the fighting below."

"Even if there are convenient medical devices, they still need professionals to operate them, right?"

The reason is normal, but asking his passengers to go out to work makes it feel like the driver can't pay their wages and has to rely on the passengers to deliver food to support his family.

"...At least with those gadgets helping me maintain and repair my vehicle, the cost is definitely less than other mercenary vehicles."

In response, Tien laughed a few times through his helmet and continued to fiddle with his newly acquired weapon, preparing and adapting to it.

"Because Cipher rarely gets hurt. As a medical professional, I don't want to see anyone around me get hurt or damaged. But if there's really nothing to do, I'll feel like I'm just a burden consuming food on the train."

No, no, no, how could Shengnai be a burden? Even if she just sat next to him and didn't suddenly disappear, Sefer would feel relieved in his heart.

Whether it was the reassurance that came from her being cute, or the reassurance that flashed before his eyes rather than anywhere else, was unclear.

The tricycle entered the hall of the transformation agency, which seemed to have been cleaned. As soon as he entered, Seifer received several task applications from the transformation agency.

Most of the tasks expired directly, and a small number of them were concentrated in some strange corners of the upper area, and the tasks were all strange and varied.

It was mainly reconnaissance, not "completing any work." While it was called reconnaissance, in reality, those places had been infiltrated by a small team from a certain company, and their node control terminals had been tampered with.

Cypher ignored these tasks for the time being. Similarly, he didn't think of trying his luck on the middle level. On the outer level of the hall, Cypher had already seen some mercenaries driving various uneven machines and standing on the huge transport track elevator.

The middle area is quite vast, so vast that one might even wonder if the self-regulatory units of the reform agency have hollowed out the entire underground area.

The body can perform tasks in those places without any hindrance, so the earlier you go, the earlier you can profit.

However, the risk is much greater than when there is only one person, because the damage to the aircraft, the consumption of ammunition and even casualties are all borne by the individual.

Damage to the body is much more expensive than personal damage. After all, there are so many people and machines are very delicate and expensive.

The two watched the three-wheeled cart slowly leave. Tien suddenly nudged Seifer with his elbow, making a clanging sound to remind him.

"Tell me, if I tear off a piece of your skin now, will that little girl appear behind us?"

"Don't be ridiculous. No matter how elusive Shengnai is, he's just an ordinary battlefield medic. He has to follow the laws of physics."

Seifer shrugged and held down her hand that was about to do something naughty. "It's better not to test it, or Shengnai will come back on his bike and run you over."

“No matter how good-tempered a person is, when they really get angry, they may be more terrifying than those who lose their temper every day.”

Tien smiled and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"

"I'm a mature adult, and society has long since smoothed out my edges. Getting angry is such a waste of time, I'm too lazy to get angry... Let's go, I have to finish that commission from earlier so I can fix my body."

When talking about the mecha, Tien thought of that thing which could only be used as a model until now. It looked quite cool, and its manufacturing structure and body were completely different from the machines produced by various companies.

I don't know why it lacks an engine, so it can only sit in the warehouse and rot.

The two had contacted each other before going to a dungeon together... No, Trigger in the node area. He apologized and said that he had gone to the middle area and was a little busy now.

But when it came to finding a new team, Tien was worried about running into those scumbags again, so after thinking it over, she tried to contact the two newbies who had teamed up with her first.

——I didn’t expect that we could actually get in touch!

Even if the other party has nothing to do now, he can come over to meet and form a team.

...But, how does the saying go, A man who has been away for three days becomes...how does it go?

The two people who ran over excitedly upon hearing the call had their equipment completely renewed, all personal enhancement equipment from Abian Company.

The expanded individual defense stance hung on his waist, shining brightly. Behind him were two electromagnetic enhanced weapons also from Abian. Even the backpack was full of ammunition reserves, highlighting the upgrade of his weapon.

As soon as the two appeared, Seifer crossed his arms and thought for a while, then suddenly realized:

"You guys went and robbed Abian's weapons cache?"
