Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 222 221. Unconsciously did something very meaningful

The sun rose, and at the same time, a hot and fierce foehn wind howled, enough to turn any living thing exposed to the outside world into charcoal.

In the wind and sand that covered the sky and could polish any outdoor metal device to a shiny finish, Seifer seized the last bit of time and successfully pulled the immobilized tank into his own vehicle.

A warehouse, not a hangar, mainly because this thing takes up too much space, and it is difficult to fit it into a place with so many engineering tools with my small car.

After completing this step, Seifer returned to the hangar. At the moment he closed the heavy hatch, a foehn wind blew over and hit the rock hole near the vehicle body that had not completely collapsed.

In a few decades, this rare gravel area that still survived might be completely covered by yellow sand, but that was not something Sefer needed to worry about right now.

He got off the machine and let the crew rest. Unless they were going to drive into battle, it would be best to stay put.

To be honest, even Lin Shenxue, who spends every day squatting in the engine compartment and playing with his tablet, feels a little embarrassed that the boss is working hard outside while he is slacking off at home.

But what to do? Someone has to stay in the car to deal with emergencies. And since this is outside, someone has to monitor the external heat conditions of the car... and so on.

After finishing the work in the car, Sefer immediately switched his backup body to the upper level of the node city.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of someone visiting from the Huanwu Group.

The leader of the Alpine Squad, T-3, asked, "We've returned to the Node City. Where are you?"

"I'm in the maintenance area of my rental. How about you pay my rent for today on your way over?"

"Sure, someone will reimburse me anyway."

As he was speaking, Seifer saw the bill disappear and turn into a green circle, indicating that the payment was completed... If you had told me earlier, I could have rented it for two more days!
Unfortunately, the meeting time will be after the sun sets today, and Seifer vaguely feels that even if this matter is successfully concluded, the mercenaries here probably won't be able to get much work to do.

Because once the profits are divided among all parties, corporate mercenaries will enter the scene. Then, for a very long time, only corporate mercenaries can enter the giant anomaly.

Many mercenaries are taking advantage of the daytime commissions to make their final plans for profit. In addition, a group of people are wandering around the giant anomaly, trying to wait for it to accumulate enough energy so that they can go in and make a fortune.

It doesn’t matter if there is no fixed gate, the important thing is to be able to get in!
Seifer waited for a while at the maintenance bay when Gao Shan drove up in a small car. His first question was, "Why are you still sitting in the dining room?"

"This is a relatively safe node city. Everyone has marked their boundaries. Relax and bring your VIP along."

Seifer was silent for a moment - how did he get here? When he switched bodies, he remembered that both No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 backup bodies were in the car.

There is another spare body thrown further down in the lower area, and the last one is the current centaur-like body.

He thought quickly: "No, it's better for me to protect the VIP, but you can confirm her current condition... Here, access my body status."

Gao Shan accessed the program, reconfirmed the identity code and the priceless Abian Company identification, and thought about it after confirming that his biological condition was stable.

"You're doing really well! It's a waste of your talent to be such a capable mercenary still working as an independent mercenary. Why not come work for our company? We'll provide you with all the benefits and even arrange for you to buy real estate in the Central Node City!"

"How many times have you done this..." Seifer shook his head helplessly. "Not for now. I plan to continue hanging around outside. Uh, let's continue talking about VIP."

He changed the subject, "Leave it with me for now. It'll take half a day at most... As you know, I actually have some personal disputes with her, so I need to chat briefly. After confirming that it's just a misunderstanding, I'll give it to you."

Speaking of 'misunderstandings,' Gao Shan smacked his lips inside his helmet and said, "Fine. As long as the person is alive and showing no signs of mental breakdown, that's fine." "But only until nightfall. After all, this is a negotiation. If the key negotiators aren't here, it's like a private meeting. So, please give us the VIP until then."

"So, where's the money?"

Cypher went straight to the core.

"Well, as for the money, we will naturally transfer it to your account after you send the VIP over."

Look, all these honorifics are used.

After the negotiation, Sefer fell silent. Seeing that he didn't want to see any guests, Gao Shan hurried away - and he was convinced in his heart that this guy was a polite lunatic.

VIPs will inevitably suffer from psychological trauma... but so what, they are not dead.

In fact, Cypher did not ignore anyone, but switched his attention to spare body No. 1. After a little thought, he confirmed that except for Dr. Mei, everyone else was still active and took turns to rest before switching to the main body.

While Observer Cypher himself was tinkering with something in the restaurant, she hadn't thought about a single question.

That is, the mood change of Miss Feldridge, the VIP in the abdominal storage space of the Centaur body, cannot be described as calm as water, but can only be described as jumping off a cliff from a high platform.

The reason is simple: I'm hungry.

Hunger makes people more sensitive to the passage of time, and the endless darkness and silence burst out together with the previous anxiety.

In his malnourished mind, Feldrich had already thrown away his helmet and relaxed his body and mind almost in a state of giving up.

The anxiety of hunger came in waves, making her restless and irritable. The dark thoughts that she had tried hard to suppress continued to grow. Finally, an idea that she was unwilling to accept suddenly came to her mind.

Maybe... or should I say, this mercenary named Red Crossbow is not mentally normal?
She had no intention of exchanging herself for money after capturing herself, nor did she even think about communicating. She was purely after the pleasure of revenge, and planned to just throw herself into this dark space and die of starvation and thirst in despair.

He even deliberately left a sliver of wiggle room, allowing himself to cling to a tiny sliver of hope and possibility, constantly enduring the torment of thirst in his heart until he finally breathed his last...

When he thought of such a future, the usually tough Feldrich, who was lacking nutrients in his body and had wild thoughts, became more and more convinced of his imagination, and even noticed that his body began to tremble spontaneously.

In fact, this was not fear, but she was just trembling easily because she was too hungry. However, her brain, which obviously lacked smooth thinking, did not think so and only kept emphasizing that she would eventually die in confinement.

In this extremely claustrophobic and silent environment, her spirit was naturally not very good.

She had lived in a privileged environment since birth and received the best education. However, the experience of having all her subordinates kowtow to her and her opponents becoming losers at her hands had cultivated in her a bad character that looked down on everyone.

Until today, such a group of mercenaries broke through the full-band barrier that she was proud of, and defeated the combat team with unreasonable fighting methods.

Even in this environment, without any communication, personnel can be deployed in advance on a safe road to force the convoy to surrender!

In the endless darkness, complex emotions of loneliness surged into his heart. Feldrich's heart was filled with sorrow, and he finally couldn't hold back and cried unrestrainedly in this silent space.
