Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 86 86. It can be seen that each of you has special skills

It was obvious that Sefer had a somewhat unreliable understanding of the people in this world - that is, he thought everyone was particularly careful about their lives.

It would be better to say that since he traveled through time, he has been busy with various things and has not been able to understand the humanistic situation.

Of course there is no one who is not afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of the sudden end.

Those people who work normally in the city just want to get by, and will immediately seek refuge when fighting or conflict occurs, but it is not just seeking refuge.

Even if they didn't have the awareness and ability to be a mercenary, they wouldn't even think of trying to get themselves a 'free operation.' But they really enjoyed watching mercenaries or companies fight.

It's like watching a cricket fight, even if you are in such a cricket fighting arena.

As long as there is an exciting battle, no matter how fierce it is, you might feel in your heart - it is worth dying to be able to see such a rare battle!

Putting aside those inexplicable thoughts, the people in this world... have a very weird mentality.

Tien's weirdness doubled. After hearing that he'd "got into trouble with someone incredibly scary," he beamed, leaving the unconscious Lin Shenxue behind and approaching.

"Tell me, what kind of enemy is this?"

It's over, this guy is interested.

Imitating a long sigh, Seifer spent several minutes explaining the interests involved and the current situation to her. He said that perhaps the next second after he stepped out of the node city, ten thousand enemies would come up and blow him and his car together.

Still can't stop this person's enthusiasm for joining the job.

To show her sincerity, she even said that she would sign a temporary employment agreement with Sefer first - the term would be to arrive at the node city of the United School. If it still didn't work, then it would end.

The salary is the same as before, one thousand a month.

After the contract was signed, Seifer finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you have to choose an independent mercenary like me?"

"Of course I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen someone I can communicate with who isn't even a human. Haha, are you scared?"

"If I had a heart, I would have skipped a few beats."

Tien raised an eyebrow in satisfaction. "Another point, the food you cook is incredibly delicious. This is the first time I've eaten this kind of food in my entire life. If I don't seize this opportunity, who can stand chewing worms every day in the future?"

...Okay, this reason for joining is reasonable.

However, it is not surprising that such a thing would be exposed. There is currently no one who meets someone frequently but does not notice anything strange about them.

Leica doesn't count, he has never seen her at all. Sefer even feels that he is actually communicating with a virtual anchor, and who knows what burly man will appear under the line one day.

After confirming her login, Seifer saw the confident ID photo appear in the crew column as expected... Why wasn't Dr. Mei there?
Then Tien suddenly remembered: "Oh right, since I can't be the driver on this train, I have to do something part-time. How about giving me a position?"

"Don't look at me as someone who orders people around all the time. I actually started out as a pirate minions. I can do anything related to mobile bases."

Seifer crossed his arms and thought for a long time: "In that case... then you will be a team with Lin Shenxue for the time being. You two should figure out how to install the automatic fire control."

"When the battle started, she only had two or three secondary guns, which resulted in a serious lack of firepower for the vehicle. Even if it approached other strongholds, it had to wait for the main gun to reload."

"Okay, wait for me to pack my luggage and get settled in, then we'll start working. Uh... I drank a little too much..."

Tien stood up immediately after hearing this, but her footing slipped and she staggered. If Seifer hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have fallen to the floor of the restaurant... and vomited all over the floor.

Seeing her also collapse due to alcohol, Sefer felt lost and helpless.

The loss is because this body has no sense of touch. Even if you see something soft that almost wraps around your arms, you will not feel anything.

The helpless thing is... I always feel that with the increase in the number of strange people on the bus, Dr. Mei is the only normal person left, and his future life may be quite tortuous.

Then I suddenly remembered that Dr. Mei’s profile picture was still a question mark.

After easily lifting the two drunks and tossing them into their assigned quarters, Cypher headed for the lab section. Entering, he saw Dr. Mei slowly shaking a bottle of a thick substance. She continued to mix it. "It seems all my team members were lost in the battle. What a shame."

"You don't look that sad."

"That's only natural. Traitor, spy, and traitor, there's always a suitable description for them... Besides, not all of them died in battle."

Dr. Mei placed the vial next to a row of vials. The substances were colorful and it was impossible to tell what they were used for.

She collapsed back onto the sofa. "Just like I can fake my own death, it's not surprising how many people will have their names erased in a single battle."

"So before you leave, I suggest you change the car's livery, and preferably the registered name."

Humbly accepting this suggestion, Seifer bluntly asked, "You don't have an ID photo on the crew roster. Why?"

"Because in some sense, I'm not quite human," Dr. Mei replied without hesitation. "But what exactly that is depends on our relationship."

"As someone put it, this behavior is called 'cultivation.' But other than that, I will provide you with the necessary technical support."

Sounds like a troublesome guy. Does that mean my car will be full of troublesome guys?
If it weren't for the robot-shaped head sculpture, Seifer would have frowned.

Dr. Mei finished speaking, capped the golden viscous substance and picked it up. "If you can't find me in the lab, I'll be in the bathroom."

Well, if it's in a restaurant...oh, it's impossible not to see it. That's asking too much.

It's great that the crew members all have unique personalities and amazing abilities, but the adjustment period can be long... very long.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to relax during maintenance, Seifer looked through the vehicle inspection report and went to the main control compartment to replace the newly repaired spare body No. 2.

After putting on protective clothing, he couldn't wait to leave the car and go to the city to pick up the things he had commissioned.

As soon as I stepped onto the ground in the parking lot, the car body next to me suddenly opened, and a single-person-driven car with the front half of a motorcycle and a tracked rear compartment slowly drove down.

At first, Sefer didn't take it seriously. The parking lot was quite busy. It was just someone coming out, no big deal.

Until the driver spoke with some joy.

"Red Crossbow~ So your base is right next to us, what a coincidence."

It’s… Shengnai.

Her short pink hair was pressed down by a strange curved helmet. She smiled and waved to Seifer and drove the car over.

"Where are you going? I happen to have a vehicle that can give you a ride."

It was really a coincidence, just like last time, but the medical vehicle had actually been parked nearby for a long time. To be honest, it was their car that arrived later, as if it had specifically come to look for their car.

So Seifer thought it was a coincidence: "I was going to the city."

"I'm going there too, to help buy some medical supplies. Hmm... you don't seem to have any transportation, so why don't we go together?"

What a coincidence.

Shengnai spoke gently and slowly, and seemed to be simply happy because of the chance encounter - being able to meet her several times might be fate.

After a little consideration, Sefer sat in the rather stable truck bed.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Shengnai. I'm going to the small vendors' market where profiteers gather."

"Hmm...what a coincidence! That's also where the commander asked me to purchase supplies."
