Outside Stronghold 63, which was more than 300 kilometers away from Stronghold 61, a middle-aged man and a young man were riding their motorcycles towards the stronghold.
The two of them looked travel-worn as though they had been camping in the wilderness for several days. But even so, the middle-aged man's eyes were still bright and he looked extremely capable.
Heading east from Stronghold 61, it was no longer possible to see the loess between the towering mountains. The mountains were covered in greenery, and rivers flowed through from time to time. The scenery of the wilderness was refreshing.
It was said that before The Cataclysm, this place was a huge bird sanctuary with an excellent ecological environment.
But at that time, the birds needed to be protected by humans. But now, when humans saw birds, they needed to protect themselves.
Birds rarely took the initiative to attack humans, but they held grudges. There was once a person who stole bird eggs in the wilderness to eat. In the end, he was chased by a flock of birds for more than a hundred kilometers and was pecked all over. There was even a thick layer of bird droppings on him.
With the bird droppings all over his body, he looked like a statue.
They parked their motorcycles in the wilderness and covered them with a green tarp as a disguise. It would be too eye-catching if they rode the motorcycles for the rest of the journey, so they had to walk there.
The middle-aged man looked at the scenery in the mountains and suddenly said with a sigh, "I see how charming the green mountains are, and how they see me!"
The young man next to him opened his mouth. He wanted to ask if his master had used the wrong poem, but he did not dare to say anything in the end.
The middle-aged man continued, "Disciple, do you know why I gave the new cell phone to you instead of your junior brother when I bought it this time? You should know that this cell phone is the real treasure. Without it, it's meaningless to be a hitman. If you can get into the Anjing House with it one day, you'll really have a meteoric rise. "
"I don't know." The young man shook his head honestly.
"It's because you don't talk nonsense." The middle-aged man praised him. "Your junior brother likes to argue with me every day, so I'm going to send him to a construction site to hone his skills."
"Master, are we here to carry out a mission this time?" the young man asked.
"Of course." The middle-aged man said proudly, "The main reason is to bring you along to see the world. You've been my disciple for many years, and now that you've mastered the art of killing, you'll naturally have to carry out missions on your own. I'll be taking you on a few D-rank missions now, so watch and learn more! "
"Master," the young man said weakly, "will the missions be too difficult?"
"Difficult?" The middle-aged man laughed and stroked his moustache. "I am a C-class expert. How could it be difficult for me to do a D-class mission? Do you know that some assassins can only stay at Level D for their entire lives, unable to advance to Level C? "
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up. "Then, when will Master be promoted to B class?"
The middle-aged man looked at his disciple. "… Soon, soon."
"Master, you are already so powerful. How powerful are A-class experts?" The young man liked to ask about this.
The middle-aged man suddenly sighed and said, "A-rank combatants are all superhumans or extremely terrifying characters. There's no hope for me anymore. I once witnessed an A-rank combatant kill someone, but I couldn't even understand how he did it. Of course, among A-class warriors, Transcendents are only a minority. "
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the town outside of Stronghold 63. The middle-aged man secretly glanced at his cell phone. "We've got a mission. It's a factory nearby! Let's go, let's set off quickly. There are people fighting for D rank missions! "
The two of them hurried to the nearby factory. At this time, the young man was still a little guilty. "Master, the target is in the factory. Shouldn't we sneak in at night? We'll be seen by others, right? "
"What's there to be afraid of? What have I always taught you? Don't worry, if a C-rank combatant like me can't even complete a D-rank mission, wouldn't that be a joke? "The middle-aged man sneered with an arrogant look on his face.
But just as they were about to reach the factory, someone suddenly called out to them, "Hey … are you two here to carry out a mission?!"
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and fired the silenced pistol in his hand without any hesitation. As a result, his vision blurred, and he saw that the masked youth who had just spoken had disappeared without a trace. The bullet did not hit anything!
"Looks like you're really here to carry out a mission." The young man said with a smile from behind them, "You guys rest for a while. I'm also confiscating your cell phones, lest you guys steal my missions in the future."
With that, the middle-aged man heard a gust of wind behind him. He immediately realized the young man who had appeared behind them at some point was trying to knock him out!
He realized it, but his body could not keep up with his thoughts!
The other party was a supernatural being! This was a speed that exceeded the limits of a normal human!
The middle-aged man suddenly realized his body, which he had trained for many years, could not keep up with the other party's movements at all. That young man was too fast!
However, this middle-aged man was also a veteran. The collar around his neck was lined with a thin steel plate. Firstly, it was to prevent someone from slitting his throat with a dagger, and secondly, it was to prevent someone from striking his carotid artery!
In order not to kill him, Ren Xiaosu, who was behind him, naturally did not use his full strength. As such, he realized the middle-aged man did not faint from the blow. He was only grimacing in pain from the beating!
His disciple next to him had already fainted, so the middle-aged man turned around and ran away.
While Ren Xiaosu was surprised, the middle-aged man was on the verge of cursing. Was this a fucking D-rank mission? Huh?
Did the Anjing House not even vet the cell phones they gave out? Were they crazy enough to give a D-rank cell phone to a supernatural being? What the hell was the Anjing House doing?!
Besides, you're a supernatural being doing a D-rank mission? How shameless can you be? Do you lack this bit of money?!
However, it did not seem like the other party wanted to kill him. Otherwise, he would not have knocked him out and would have just killed him. The middle-aged man knew the other party had already held back.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man did not argue anymore. He decisively shouted, "I have money! I can give you money!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
Ren Xiaosu squatted down beside the two of them and started searching their bodies. To Ren Xiaosu's surprise, he even found two cell phones on them. This was a bountiful harvest.
Ren Xiaosu decisively put the cell phones away in his storage space and continued waiting.
When the middle-aged man regained consciousness, there were still four or five people lying next to them. He quickly patted his disciple awake before searching himself to see what the other party had left for him.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed that he still had his money. Did this supernatural being not need money?
But a moment later, he was stunned. Both of his cell phones were gone!
Only at this moment did the middle-aged man realize the reason this supernatural being was guarding the mission was to steal everyone's cell phones!
It was over! It was all over!
He had bragged so much to his disciple, yet he did not even get a chance to see the target of the mission? Which goddamn supernatural being had come here to prank them?!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw a text message on his cell phone. "The target is the Pyro Company's Midnight squad located in the residential building at 476 Xianyang Street in Stronghold 63. A-rank reward: 500,000 yuan. Up to three people are willing to work together, and all of them will be granted access to the safe house once. We will protect them if they are pursued."
