At this moment, a black man suddenly said, "I joined because of the Stranger Icon. I think it's really cool. Who designed it?"
Luo Yi looked at Xu Cheng with a strange expression.
Xu Cheng laughed. "See that? There's always someone with good taste."
The icon of the stranger was a picture of the Earth being covered by five claws of a hand.
The black man asked Xu Cheng, "Is there any meaning behind it?"
"Yes." Xu Cheng smiled and said, "The meaning of the Arbiter is to judge, examine, supervise, protect, and dominate."
The black man whistled and said, "Then I'm in. That's right. I like this symbol and its meaning, but Luo Yi said that only the true core can have this symbol tattoo. May I ask, how can I use it as a core?"
Xu Cheng: "As long as you get my approval. Today is my first time meeting with you guys, and we're not familiar with each other yet. I have high standards for people, so in the future, I will see who's suitable for us and who's not."
These words were a bit picky, and other than Luo Yi, everyone raised their eyebrows and felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Xu Cheng didn't mind. The people gathered here were all people who committed heinous crimes such as murder and arson. Everyone thought that they were on equal footing, so it was normal to look down on strangers. They were very resistant to those who tried to cross the line. After all, Xu Cheng hadn't shown his strength yet, so it was normal for these people to be a bit dissatisfied.
After the group casually rested for a bit, they got back in the car.
When they got into their respective pickup trucks, Chris egged the black man on, "Since he said that, it means you don't have the right to get that tattoo. It's clear that he's looking down on us. Are you happy with that?"
The black man shrugged. "Do you have a better place to go? Let him put on airs for now. Once he knows it's not easy to survive here and he still needs to rely on us, he won't be so arrogant anymore. However, I wasn't happy about it. Did he mean that we weren't the core of the organization? Haha. "
He wasn't the only one with such thoughts.
Everyone else was the same. Initially, when they first met the founder of the mercenary group, they thought that he would speak well of them. After all, at this critical juncture, they would be asked to stay. However, they didn't expect that he didn't care about them at all.
In fact, this group of people hoped that the Otherworldly Guest Mercenary Group would accept them as a part of the group, not as a simple employer-employee relationship.
But at this time, after hearing Xu Cheng's words, it was as if they were the ones climbing up the ladder of the mercenary group. Who would feel good about that?
In the car, Luo Yi also noticed. He bitterly smiled at Xu Cheng and said, "Big Brother Cheng, we can only treat you with courtesy for now."
"There's no need for that. We are brothers who will really go through thick and thin together, not people who only know how to be polite. Soon, we will have to do something to occupy more territory to make room for Mr. Hawking, so I don't have time to play games with these people. If you don't want to stay, then get the hell out of here," Xu Cheng said indifferently.
Luo Yi smiled bitterly. "Then you need them even more. How are you going to fight for territory without people? No matter how ferocious a person is, two fists are no match for four hands, much less four hands with spears. "
Xu Cheng didn't say anything.
As soon as they left, the other allied forces in charge of intelligence picked up the radio and said, "We've discovered a line of 10 pickup trucks. They're not heavily armed, and they're carrying a lot of ordinary people. They don't have any decorations, paint, or tattoos on their bodies or on their vehicles to prove which faction they belong to. We're guessing that they're newcomers. We can confirm that they're not locals, and their clothing and other aspects should be researchers. We can start with them."
In these places, who would dare to say that they didn't have spies planted by the intelligence agency? Almost every city had people stationed as spies for the various allied forces. Some were neutral, such as locals. They would record or collect intelligence, and when someone needed it, they would casually mention it and sell it for tens of thousands of dollars.
And this local was responsible for providing tips to a small mercenary team that relied on robberies.
No one knew the situation of the major mercenaries better than the locals. They were born and raised here, and they knew which forces belonged to which forces, which vehicles, which icons, and which tattoos. For the Otherworldly Guest Mercenary Group, they were indeed newcomers.
Xu Cheng and the others didn't know that with so many engineers in their group, they were exposed to the fact that they weren't mercenaries.
First of all, for a soldier or an outstanding mercenary, they couldn't be hired by the military because they were short-sighted, so there were no mercenaries or soldiers who wore glasses.
Many roads in the Land of Mercenaries were actually dirt roads that were made by the wheels of vehicles. They were very old, and there were no asphalt roads at all. Once there were too many vehicles, a lot of dust would be kicked up, and it was very easy to attract attention in the vast desert.
Not long after Xu Cheng's convoy left the truce city, about 20 kilometers away, they were chased by a group of local militants on horseback.
There were at least 40 to 50 people in the group, and every one of them was carrying a long spear as they chased after them from afar.
At this time, the performance of the cars might not be as fast as the horses, plus they were falling over all kinds of hills and deserts, so they weren't as agile as the horses.
A few of the cars had their tires blown out, and after slowing down, it was impossible for the other cars to get rid of them. In the end, all the cars had to stop, and soon, all 10 cars were surrounded by the horse bandits.
The horse bandits all pointed their guns at them and shouted, "Put down your guns!"
Luo Yi and the others immediately raised their hands and shouted, "There are ordinary people in the cars, let's talk this out."
The engineers who were prepared to take the risk all hid in the pickup and shivered in fear when they saw such a large group of people.
The Land of Mercenaries would rarely shoot the defenseless natives unless they were armed. That way, they would be considered allies. In reality, only women and old women existed in the Land of Mercenaries. Most youths knew how to use a gun.
However, the most annoying people here were the news reporters. Once they were discovered, they would be killed on the spot.
This was the second time Lin Dong had a gun pointed at him. The first time was from Sarna's gang.
"What are you guys doing? Who's in charge? Come talk to me, "on the carriage, a bandit wearing a scarf and sunglasses shook the gun in his hand and shouted.
Xu Cheng jumped out of the car, also wearing sunglasses. He looked at the horse bandits and said, "These people are all in the construction industry."
The construction industry was responsible for building the infrastructure of the cities, and under normal circumstances, no one would make things difficult for them.
The head of the horse bandits: "Do you have any national documents? If I'm not blind, you guys aren't from the same country, right? "
Then, he pointed his gun at Xu Cheng and snorted, "Be obedient, leave your cars and valuables behind. You can let the ordinary people go, but the armed ones, come with us to serve."
The so-called "serve" was to join them and become an executioner.
Here, whenever an independent army was injured or had no one to use, they would use trucks to go to the villages or towns at night and forcibly capture people to serve. This was to strengthen the army.
