Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 161 160. Will this news make things more complicated?
If we were to make an analogy with several large companies currently, apart from the Phantom Mist Group, which he had not come into contact with, the one with the lowest reputation in Seifer's mind should be Abian Company.

The root cause is that the work it has done during this period has been too rough.

Various means emerged one after another, and under the operation of that little female devil...or rather, Feldrich, it seemed as if they didn't care what other companies thought.

He didn't even care what the mercenaries thought, and used seemingly generous treatment to severely trick the mercenaries who came to make money.

That's right, this contract that invites mercenaries to purchase supplies at low discounts, distributes weapons and equipment for free, and offers more favorable treatment if the total value of the items they bring back from the node city exceeds XXX is inherently flawed.

The approval process for the so-called disability and death insurance is quite long and demanding, especially for death insurance. If the independent mercenary cannot provide the nameplate or death certificate of the deceased, they can only be deemed missing.

Or get lost in the node city.

It sounds really familiar. In addition to this, Abian also has a series of additional contracts, which are only known to the mercenaries who accept their funding - the treatment is generous.

The price is also very generous, for example, they can provide external equipment to enhance personal abilities, and the requirement is to work as an external corporate mercenary for Abian for a few months after completing the Node City mission, etc...

Anyway, once you enter the company, you will no longer communicate with mercenaries outside. This is the industry rule.

After looking through the information for a while, Sefer suddenly remembered the two young men.

They are an example of accepting "sponsorship" from Abian Company.

I have to say, that sponsorship is pretty generous. It's a question whether they can make back the losses after playing a match. But looking at the way they're bombarding, they don't seem to be worried about the subsidy...

So, what kind of contract did these two sign with Abian that packaged them like celebrities?

After walking around the square with doubts, Sefer did not see the two, but instead saw many mercenaries who were busy restoring order at the scene and acting as temporary repairmen.

The medical station was also damaged and is now undergoing emergency restoration... Even with this world's ridiculous infrastructure level, an earthquake of this magnitude will take time to recover.

Taking into account the chaotic situation and the intelligence they had just obtained, the transformation agency suddenly announced that it would temporarily suspend the issuance of missions for the next three days, and all mercenaries could continue to accept missions after three days.

Execute immediately.

Cypher didn't care what they were planning to do down there. He dragged Tien out of the hospital and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? A guy like me who can't sit still, if there's a disaster somewhere, I'll definitely jump in and help."

Tien crossed her arms and grinned confidently, "I have some good news for you. The Reconstruction Agency is going to shut down the mission distribution mechanism for a few days, but... not all mercenaries will be dismissed."

"Some mercenaries are able to accept special missions through various channels and go to mid-level areas to solve 'problems'."

Seifer thought about it and immediately said, "I won't give you those two expensive bottles of wine."

"Tsk, how can you be so perceptive? Okay, okay, forget about that. I got you a 'special channel' pass. Thank me, Captain?"

"Well, thanks."

Taking the metal nameplate she handed over, the UI in Sefer's eyes immediately showed the internal information, and found that it was a complex code as the key.

"Just a thank you? No more practical gesture?" He casually gave her a few hundred and told her to go find something to eat and drink. Seifer thought for a moment and said, "Then... next time I go on a mission, I'll definitely take you with me, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

I watched her departing figure, her graceful figure and the waist and amazing curves outlined by the pitch-black protective suit under the upper half of the protective suit—

Many mercenaries stared, but dared only to watch. Anyone who dared to become a mercenary these days was motivated by money and not their lives. It would be better to look at the law-abiding girls in the city than to mess with such a guy.

The people from the transformation agency quickly came to clear the area and drove all the mercenaries out of the node city. After Sefer found that the motorcycle had been ridden away by Tien, he could only helplessly prepare to walk back.

Then... a tracked vehicle with a motorcycle in front and a bucket in the back stopped beside him, and the driver lifted his windproof mask.

Who else could it be? It must be Saint Nero. Sefer sat in the truck bed with a very calm mood, squeezing in with the cargo.

"Why are you in Node City?"

"Node City will be closed for a few days. Medical supplies are running out very quickly lately. I need to prepare a week's worth of stock in advance."

The rolling dust was left behind with a shimmering glow. As the two chatted leisurely about what to do in the next few days after closing the node city, Sefer suddenly realized a question.

"—I don't think I've ever paid you a salary. Uh, where did the funds for these medical supplies come from? Also, why are they being consumed?"

Shengnai said as a matter of course that fights often occurred in the parking area, and the mercenaries did not get along happily every day, and bloody incidents occurred frequently.

At this time, the role of the medical vehicles that also arrived here because of the large number of mercenaries is very important. They are responsible for treating seriously injured mercenaries and providing necessary medical measures - free of charge.

Unlike the corporate medical stations opened by transformation agencies, these medical vehicles roaming the desert receive subsidies from various companies and provide free medical care.

Not only for mercenaries, but also for patients in the node city.

Shengnai said with a smile that he had established a relationship with the people in the medical vehicle (not the one in Edge Node City) some time ago and would go to help when he was free.

All accounts related to medical equipment are allocated from there. Sometimes, if materials and supplies purchased on demand are not used up, she can collect them and save them for later use.

Look, this is the difference between the loser who only knows how to eat and the little angel in the car.

Lin Shenxue sneezed suddenly and moved closer to the engine to adjust it carefully, fearing that it would explode if it was unhappy.

Then, when Cipher returned to the parking lot, he understood why Dr. Mei was so certain the information was only worth that price—it wasn't entirely because of the monopoly of the transformation agency.

Instead, only a few hours after he provided the information, a task recommendation of 'Explore the Lower Area' appeared in the internal task bulletin of Abian Company.

The recruitment staff is limited, and they need to be able to ride and use the type of machine. As for how to get there?
Abian Company said that after registration, they will arrange special transport vehicles. The specific departure point, combat arrangements, etc. will only be known after registration.

We can't fool around with engineering machines this time, what a pity.
