The First Evolution

Chapter 272: Set Off

“Second, our mission this time is to go to a very remote place to search for something. I can tell you very clearly that I don’t know what to search for now, only that it may be a living creature.”

“Now I have a quotation issued above, which says the relevant rewards from the headquarters. Which team can get an item they are interested in, then there will be a reward of 300,000 US dollars.”

Hearing Tana’s words, someone whistled excitedly.

Having said that, Tana paused and said meaningfully,

“However, we will likely also face foreign competitors — strong competitors, and they prefer to use bullets and sabers to talk with their opponents.”

“So, this time, if you want to go back to the strip club in Manhattan to drink a gin after your mission, then you’d better be more vigilant and strike faster and harder.”

After the meeting, all the people outside had arrived.

Tana looked around, then he said to the 6 captains who were late,

“Gentlemen, since I was a child, I didn’t like to talk. Now I don’t even like to repeat one thing twice, but your unpunctuality makes me have to do things I don’t like. Since you like to be late than others, then your 6 teams will start later in this operation.”

“For example, eat later, resupply later, go to mission later, get salary later, get on transportation later… Now, come into my office, I have to repeat what the boss said to me. Eisen!”

Deputy Eisen immediately stepped out and said loudly,

“I’m here, sir!”

Tana pointed to Fang Linyan and other 3 captains and said,

“You take these 4 teams to take the equipment for this operation first.”

Soon, Fang Linyan realized that the supplies prepared by the Duckland Company were really worth the cost. Not to mention the bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, cut-resistant gloves, emergency individual rations, etc., even high technology products like night vision goggles, laser dazzlers, net guns were also free to choose.

Ordinary weapons were definitely available. It must be explained here that the so-called “ordinary” refers to the standard equipment of the Marines or the Delta Special Forces.

Not only that, Fang Linyan was delighted to find that there were a few drones.

This thing was very important to him, because the drone seemed to be very effective, but it was probably at least 2 generations behind Fang Linyan’s LV3 [Drone].

But in fact, it could be a very important deception for Fang Linyan, because any discovery could be explained by this.

So Fang Linyan took 1, but the administrator beside suddenly said,

“Hey! Put that down. That is not standard equipment. We only have 5 of that.”

Fang Linyan looked into the administrator’s eyes and said,

“Then there are only 4 now. The order I received is to come and choose the equipment. Our boss didn’t tell me not to take the drone.”

The administrator was stunned for a while. The tall black man in Fang Linyan’s team, Burwell, had come over with great interest. The administrator immediately shut up.

***

Fang Linyan waited until all his team members had received the appropriate equipment, then he brought Burwell to get a hiking backpack. He also got a lot of supplies too.

The administrator wanted to stop him, but when he saw Bowell glaring at him fiercely, he could only shut up in anger.

After all the people stocked up the supplies, Eisen commanded them to rest by the side and get familiar with the equipment.

He then brought the other 6 groups over to choose,

As a result, after selecting for a while, a big guy with a scar on his face whispered a few words to the guard, then he walked up to Fang Linyan and yelled impatiently,

“Why did you sissy take my drone and my sleeping bag!”

This guy was tall and strong. He was a head taller than Fang Linyan. He directly poked Fang Linyan’s chest with his finger.

Fang Linyan said coldly,

“Nganga, take your hand away.”

Nganga bared his teeth and grinned,

“Idiot, do you still want to get beaten up like last month? I’ll pee on your head this time!”

Before he could finish his words, Fang Linyan suddenly grabbed his right hand and did an one arm shoulder throw.

At this moment, Nganga felt the world spinning without realizing what happened, then he felt an indescribable pain from his back. He almost fainted by the throw.

Since Fang Linyan made a move, he didn’t intend to show mercy at all. He stood up and stomped on Nganga’s head and face, causing the guy to scream in agony. He immediately looked disgraced.

It stood to reason that the conflict should end here, but Fang Linyan still knew one thing in his mind. Someone might not be convinced of him being the team captain, so this was a good opportunity to show his might!

——– In such an environment of racial discrimination, being low-key could only let people bully him even more. At this time, Fang Linyan thought that he already had the capital to be high profile, even if there was a contractor around him!

So, facing the vicious hatred in Nganga’s eyes, Fang Linyan clenched his fist and punched on his side ribs. There was an inaudible breaking sound, and his screams immediately became high-pitched. He began to roll on the ground in pain.

Fang Linyan slowly got up, raised his head proudly and looked at the people watching the scene with indifferent eyes. If someone dared to look at him, he immediately stared back viciously!

This scene immediately attracted the attention of Eisen from a distance. To be honest, he didn’t care at first because the competition was everywhere, and he didn’t think Fang Linyan could have the upper hand in this close combat. In his mind, Wynch always chose to back down in the face of provocation.

But Eisen never expected that it was Nganga who suffered in the end, and he suffered a lot!!

“2 broken ribs, minor concussion…”

Such an injury report undoubtedly gave Eisen a headache. His next opinion on severely punishing Wrench also made Tana reprimand him badly,

“Do you know how important this mission is to the people above? Because of your dereliction of duty, my team has lost a qualified bastard, and now your opinion will make me lose another qualified villain and captain!”

“What? Fair! The people above don’t care who gets hurt and fairness. The only thing they care about is those damn animals and mysterious fragments!”

“We’re going to the airport in 15 minutes. You have to find a replacement for the injured guy within 15 minutes, then let him get the full equipment! Now! Immediately!!”

***

An hour later,

The group of guards who performed special missions had already arrived at the airport, and they boarded the charter plane directly from the special channel without even going through the security check. After landing, they were already in Utah.

A bus took them directly out of the airport, then they finally arrived at an advanced base before night.

When they arrived, the setting sun was slowly fading into the horizon, dyeing the distant hills a darl red. The sky was blue; the ground, hills, and deserts were all dark red. The plants that could be seen were some gray-yellow bushes and cacti.

Most of these bushes were Joshua tree, creosote, yucca, and Chenopodiaceae weeds. In addition, the landscape here was completely desolate like an alien planet, making people feel solitary.

This was the famous Colorado Grand Canyon area. Although it was almost 50 kilometers away from the canyon, the spectacular yardang as well as the unique crimson flat-topped hills and desert were quite breathtaking.

However, the big thing was that on the vast plateau in front, there were thousands of ravines like the layers of wrinkles on the face of an old man. It seemed accessible looking from a distance, but if one wanted to move 1km forward, he had to detour 10 times the distance.

In the face of such a harsh natural environment, unless there were artificially constructed roads, otherwise it was impossible to travel by vehicle.

They were told to be an advanced base, but to be honest, it was very shabby. It was a house transformed from a dozen rusted containers, surrounded by a fence that could be moved by just the wind. However, it had a unique advantage; which was a clear spring water.

It seemed that many years ago, there was a gold mine nearby. Someone came here to painstakingly build a settlement. Of course, as the gold mine was mined, the place was abandoned again.

After the chores were almost settled, Tana gathered 10 captains together again and said to them sternly,

“Now that we have reached our destination, I can reveal the goal of this operation to you.”

After he finished speaking, he directly turned on the projector next to him:

“About 10 days ago, there was a meteor shower of ordinary scale, but we found that the source of this meteor shower actually came from an asteroid that invaded the earth’s atmosphere. The structure of this asteroid itself is very fragile. It disintegrated in the atmosphere and formed the so-called meteor shower phenomenon.”

“However, according to our speculation, there are still more than a dozen asteroid fragments that have not been burnt out in the atmosphere. They are finally distributed in the Midwest of the United States. Our mission is to find the meteorite fragments that fell nearby and bring them back! Then, we can get a great reward!”

“Not only that, but we also received the exact news that this kind of meteorite fragment will cause mutation of surrounding creatures. These mutant creatures are also very rare materials, so whoever catches this mutated creature can also get a bonus.”

TL: Why it doesn’t feel like a PVP at all? Will there be contractors in the opposing forces?
