Everyone was originally worried that they had wasted too much time participating in the base defense battle, but after hearing this good news, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, finally relaxing their hearts. Then, the lieutenant colonel continued.
"Although we have achieved victory in the previous battle, our casualties are not light. Our manpower is also in a state of shortage. Therefore, I hope you guys don't head to the whiskey base, I believe the Roughnecks detachment will definitely be able to escape from danger. Furthermore, we have a large number of patrols here, and investigation work requires manpower. Although it is a complicated matter, it is still better than sending you guys to your deaths at the whiskey base!"
The lieutenant colonel's last sentence was scoffed at by the majority, because it was extremely obvious this was a type of compensation mission. If a contestant's casualties from the previous arachnid invasion was too severe, and was forced to give up on the main mission, then they could accept this lower difficulty mission as compensation. But to this temporary party, although there were casualties, everyone was brimming with confidence because of Reef, a super strong defender. Why would they shrink back at this moment?
Yet at this moment, a person stood up, using a resolute and decisive tone to speak to the lieutenant colonel.
"Sir, I am willing to serve you."
This person was Sheyan, he didn't bother to look at the marvelous expressions of the others, bluntly continuing.
"Although I have only stayed here for a short few hours, but I have already fallen in love with this place brimming with friendship, unity and honour. Obviously, fighting under your command is an extremely glorious matter. Therefore, I am not willing to go to that damned whiskey base, I am not going anywhere, Steel Outpost is my home. "
The lieutenant colonel's gloomy face finally revealed a trace of a smile. Sheyan then received a notification of his reputation in Steel Whip base increasing by 400 points (200 points based on legend level). If it was a contestant with 25 points of charm like Tulip, it would at least increase by 500-600 points. Reef and Qiaoer deeply furrowed their brows. Obviously, they could tell that this contestant Seaman choosing this time to raise this matter, meant that he was determined to part ways with the party.
The lieutenant colonel saluted Sheyan and said.
"I've heard of your reputation before (Legend Level + 1). Welcome to the Steel Outpost Base, soldier. You can take a rest first, then go to the quartermaster to get the standard equipment. "
"Wait a moment." Another voice rang out. It was Mogensha. The majority of his face was covered by his battle helmet, and his expression couldn't be seen. Yet when he stood out, even Reef's expression changed.
Mogensha also said to the Lieutenant Colonel.
"Sir, I am also willing to fight under your command."
His words seemed to be directed at Tommy Kevin, but it was actually expressing his determination to hug Sheyan's thigh. Obviously, Mogensha's charm was much higher than Sheyan's. Colonel Tommy Kevin laughed heartily as he patted Mogensha's shoulder.
"Soldier, you've made a wise choice."
He then gazed at the rest of the contestants with anticipation, hoping that someone else would be subdued by his personal charm. Regretfully, almost all the contestants simultaneously glanced towards Reef. Although he had already expressed that he had no intention of being the party's leader, but due to his special status, his decision was still the final word! Even the ambitious Qiaoer and the crazy Harnik couldn't help but glance towards Reef.
Reef remained silent, he originally wanted to make his decision. But in that instance, the tragic deaths of his comrades, their helpless gazes, and their perplexed faces surfaced in his mind. The words that were at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, as he sat back down on the sofa without uttering a single word. Colonel Tommy Kevin was clearly dissatisfied with their silence. He coldly snorted and said, "Don't worry.
"I can give you some time to think, but you must find me within an hour! You two follow me. "
The two that the commanding officer pointed out were naturally Sheyan and Mogensha, he then led them away.
If only Sheyan left, then the party's strength wouldn't be severely weakened. But once Mogensha left, then the party's overall strength would definitely plummet by a huge margin! Therefore, the hearts of the party members were shaken. But to the ambitious Qiaoer and the crazy Harnik, they immediately felt that this could be Mogensha's method of seizing power. As long as everyone followed them and gave up on the main mission, they would naturally obey their orders.
Thinking of that, Qiaoer immediately clapped his hands and said.
"Let me first state my opinion, I don't approve of staying behind."
As soon as he arrived, he immediately expressed his opposition. Naturally, he wanted to leave a "decisive" first impression on everyone.
"Although Mogensha and that Seaman left the party, I don't think the party's strength has dropped by much. Firstly, the badge that I just obtained allows me to obtain the support of two machine gunners. Everyone should have seen their firepower, even if it isn't comparable to Mogensha's, it isn't too far off. More crucially, we can sacrifice these two chess pieces at any time. This is an advantage that Mogensha won't have in the party. "
"My reputation is enough to hire a Machine Gunner to follow me." Crazy Harnik continued.
"If the firepower of two machine gunners isn't enough, then three should be enough to make up for the loss of firepower after Mogensha left. Also, Seaman's strength lies in his ability to concoct that genetic medicine. Although his genetic medicine only has a duration of 120 seconds, it seems like it needs to be concocted at the last minute. But I still have an item here that I obtained from the Iron Man world. It's called the 'Miniature Refrigerator', I specially use it to store the venom of a viper. Because when concocting a poison for a weapon, the freshness of the venom cannot exceed 2 hours. I've used it for so long and have never encountered any problems. Therefore, I can first purchase a batch of medicine from Seaman and store it here with me. When the time comes, I'll drink it. Anyway, no matter what you think, I definitely won't be willing to throw away my 3 highest attribute points and my hard earned achievement points. "
Hearing the two of them speak, the rest of the contestants started whispering amongst themselves, feeling that what they said was reasonable.
Suddenly, Tulip sneered and said.
"How do you know Seaman will sell the medicine to you? If it was me, I definitely wouldn't sell it! "
At this moment, Reef suddenly snorted, standing up and said in a low voice.
"I'll go find them, if they don't sell it, then obediently return to the party! Since everyone is a temporary party, then one's personal likes and dislikes cannot be placed above the party! "
Qiaoer instantly frowned, obviously these words were better spoken by him. But Reef was after all used to being the party leader, at times he would naturally reveal a domineering aura. What made Qiaoer even more depressed was that he was completely helpless in this situation. At this moment, Reef had already walked to the front of Crazy Harnik and earnestly asked.
"Are you sure your 'Miniature Refrigerator' is effective?"
Crazy Harnik hesitated a little before replying.
"Why don't we first buy a bottle from him to test it out?"
Reef nodded, speaking to the surrounding contestants.
"Everyone, hand over 1000 utility points to me. If anyone doesn't have enough, I'll help you pay. Sign a contract and I'll return it at the end of the checkpoint."
No one doubted that Reef would embezzle a mere 1000 utility points, thus they all obediently handed it over. Even the two contestants who couldn't fork out immediately signed a contract with Reef. When Reef and the frenzied Harnik found Sheyan, Reef first tried to persuade Sheyan and Mogensha to continue moving together with the party. However, Sheyan had already made up his mind and rejected him.
But following that, when Reef proposed to purchase some genetic medicine, Sheyan displayed a rather cooperative attitude. He took the initiative to provide a free genetic medicine to Crazy Harnik, to test if his' Miniature Refrigerator 'was able to preserve the effects of the medicine for 120 seconds. Crazy Harnik's' Miniature Refrigerator 'didn't disappoint, successfully preserving the value of Sheyan's genetic medicine. Hence, when Reef and Mogensha left, they brought away close to 15 bottles of genetic medicine, earning Sheyan 8000 utility points.
After they left, Sheyan remained silent for a while, before turning to Mogensha and said.
"Honestly speaking, I really didn't expect you would actually follow me."
Mogensha replied indifferently.
"Since I've decided to gamble, then naturally I'll stake it all on one throw. Being hesitant usually results in nothing. This is something I've understood since I was 12 years old when I covered my head and clenched my teeth to snatch that bag of corn. "
Sheyan suddenly laughed and said, "That's right.
"That's right, since you're willing to follow me, then I owe you an explanation. But I'll wait for them to leave before I tell you. So if you regret now, it's not too late. "
"I've never regretted anything I do." Mogensha replied. "Then I'll rest for a while."
As he spoke, he placed his golden AK under his head like a pillow and laid down. Very quickly, he started snoring softly. This was a habit of someone who had been rolling around life and death all year round, grasping every safe moment to rest. If not, they wouldn't be beaten to death, but dragged to death by exhaustion. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
