Thorne followed Ha Xing around the base, compared with the chaos and disorder outside, everything is in order here, but everyone is very busy.
"How many people are there in the base?" "Wow, that's a lot, at least thirty or more.
"I'm sorry," replied Haching.
"So many?" Thorne was slightly shocked, a squad could actually reach the size of thirty or more people? The largest squad he had ever seen was only seven or eight people.
"Haha, and that's just the inside staff," laughed Hashin, proudly, "If you count the field, there'll be more! At least sixty people!" "And split up the inside field?" Thorne was even more surprised, "So many people are survivors, I mean, so many all people are players?" "No, most of the inside staff are locals, there are retired veterans, there are security guards and so on, there are about five players, responsible for dispatching and commanding, to be precise, five players act as the leaders of the five inside teams, and the locals work under their guidance.
""As for the field that is basically players, but occasionally bring a few powerful locals to help, that is also when it comes to important tasks, not enough manpower to do so.
As you know, the locals are involved in too many tasks and will ask questions and have trouble coping.
""That's true," Thorne admitted, having made up a number of lies in order to deal with Claire's and their inquiries, "You just said there were five internal teams?" "Yes, weapons, medical, intelligence, cooking and security.
"Ha Xing carefully introduced," as for the field, is the four groups of ABCD, C group leader was unfortunately killed during the last dangerous mission, you took his place.
""What kind of tasks are we in charge of in Group C?"" Thorne was curious, a squad with such a fine division of labor, four different groups of ABCD, must be responsible for different types of tasks.
"Group A is responsible for the main missions, that is, the missions related to the main character; Group B is responsible for the side missions; Group D, which is my group, is responsible for the civilian rescue missions, and as for you, Group C, you are mainly responsible for breaking the point!" "Yes, breaking point! You don't take the initiative to go on a mission, but look for the opponent's key mission, and then finish it first, so that you can destroy the opponent's mission focus, this is the breaking point!" "Opponent? Our opponent's finger is?" Thorne had a bad premonition.
"A lot, such as some squads that go against us, or certain disobedient impostors!" Ha Xing said easily, "Of course, there may also be encounters with the protagonists that appear in this world, supporting characters, but, instead of interfering with the protagonists they complete the task, but to pre-empt the task, so that they return with the squads that help without success!" "What's the advantage of doing this? I mean, since we are also completing the mission, that -" "This is the longevity of the situation, if we steal away some key important tasks, we can get better rewards, and at the same time make those squads that are against us can not quickly improve their strength.
"Ha Xing said," this world between the squad, not as peaceful as you think, some underdog squad may still be relatively peaceful, can not see the end, but the strong team are openly fighting with each other, although the city of Lyken is very large, but the mission resources are not unlimited, time is advancing little by little, the mission will become increasingly difficult. According to the words of the Grey King - focus on the advantages of resources to create an invincible strong team, than scattering resources, feed a bunch of waste more effective!" Thorne did not answer, mixed feelings in his heart.
He still agrees with this statement of the Grey King, he has seen the combat power of the trackers and how rampant the monsters controlled by those impostors are, and it is indeed difficult for a weaker team to survive and even to defend themselves.
Snatch all the important tasks and concentrate them on your own team, although it will sacrifice most of the squad, but indeed can greatly strengthen the strength of the Grey King squad! Just now the battle tracker is a perfect example.
Their weapons were hardly effective in harming the tracker, and the decisive shot that blew up the flamethrower was only done by the large modified military revolver of the Grey King, firing a high-velocity armor-piercing bullet.
All the other squads, on the other hand, had difficulty resisting the powerful attacks of the trackers.
And this is only the first form of the tracker, after it evolved to a stronger form how? And not only the tracker, there are tyrants, G monster ... gray king approach, in fact, a good interpretation of what is called "good steel on the edge of the knife".
Just although the inner approval of this approach, but he still some difficult to let go, the restaurant battle, Freckles in order to save the red hair tragic death of the picture is still deep in his mind.
In order to strengthen his own team at the expense of other teams, more or less let him a bit in the heart.
But the game world to this stage, and can not allow him to be indecisive, Thorne a little torn.
"What about impostors?" Thorne changed the subject, "Don't we have impostors on the team?" "Nope.
"There are no impostors on our team," said Harsing.
""No?"" Thorne was stunned, this was different from what he had heard or even seen before.
"Indeed not!" Ha Xing said with certainty.
Looking at his serious face, Thorne also felt that he was not lying.
"We have some ... cooperation with impostors," Ha Xing struggled for a moment before saying the word, "there are a few impostors who agree with the Grey King's approach to our teammates partnership, so, within our team There is no one impostor, we only have cooperation with external impostors!" "So that's how it is!" Thorne finally understood, "but the impostors are still very dangerous, and the further the plot develops, they and we have the possibility of mission conflict between us and secretly kill us!" "That's right, so the Grey King has kept a hand on them!" "What do you mean?" "Oh, this you will know later.
"Ha Xing sold out, came to the door of the weapons group and pushed the door in.
Inside actually has a front, and still similar to the form of fortifications, with iron, tables, iron cabinets, etc. stacked and made shooting holes and so on, living like an indoor bunker, looks very solid.
This way, even if there is a crisis in the base, retreat to any room, you can have the ability to counterattack and not sit around and wait for death.
"Claiming your equipment?" Someone inside asked.
"Yes!" "Newcomer?" "The new leader of Group C, Thorne!" "Greetings, sir! We've been informed by Captain Grey King to prepare your equipment!" The man inside said respectfully, seemingly startled with a salute that was just blocked from view by the cover.
"Sign here, please! ... Well, you can go in, Captain Ha Xing, you too" "Oh, no, I'll just wait here for him.
"You go change your gear, then I'll take you to the C-team lounge," said Ha Xing, leaning against the wall.
""Many thanks!"" Thorne, led by a team member, walked into another room with a security door installed, which was filled with all kinds of weapons, ranging from small daggers to light anti-tank rocket launchers.
"Team Leader Thorne, this is your squad uniform!" The team member handed over a set of gray combat uniforms.
"What's the name?" "You can call me Viper!" The man said a nickname, "I specialize in modifying weapons and equipment, I'm considered a connoisseur here!" "Viper, good name!" "Here is also a bulletproof vest, this is the C group arm badge, this is the chest badge, the three stars on it means you are the group leader level! Other weapons and equipment you can pick at will!" "What do you recommend?" "Do you have any requests?" Thorne handed him the assault rifle of Embraer that he was carrying.
"This gun is just fine, but the power is a bit weaker, the shooting speed and accuracy I'm more than satisfied with, you just find one better than it!" Viper tried the gun, nodded, and took a modified Skaar assault rifle from the gun rack.
"The United States Special Forces assault rifle, this is its latest improved version - I call it Scale-modified, is an enhanced urban warfare assault rifle, based on the original with a lower-mounted grenade launcher, with night vision sights, can switch between sniper mode and rapid-fire mode in close combat, modular Modular design, easy to maintain! I have modified its internal structure and modification, in addition to mark 5.56mm ammunition, but also can use armor-piercing ammunition, incendiary ammunition and ordinary ammunition, 15% lighter than the general rifle, but 10% more powerful, 8% more invasive, using armor-piercing ammunition in 20 meters can effectively penetrate the body armor, and kill the rear target!" Whispered: "I tested it, it burst mode can smash the head of the licker within 10 meters, taking less than three seconds!" Thorne picked up the gun, quickly flipped it over, tried aiming against the shoulder, pulled the trigger, and checked the smoothness of the muzzle and was very satisfied.
Grab another magazine, load it with great speed, load it, then toss the magazine and return it, the action is exceptionally skillful.
"Very good, I'll take it!" Viper looked at both eyes straight, he had never seen anyone use this gun so skillfully, all of Thorne's movements while looking straight ahead, in a straight line with the muzzle, his eyes always aimed at the target, but he changed magazines and other actions without a single deviation, in one go, which means he is a master with a gun! Originally just heard that the gray king from nowhere to capture a novice, as soon as he came to become the head of the C group, many people are with will be skeptical attitude, this person to recommend him this gun, but also want to see his strength.
This gun was the latest to be modified after purchasing upgrade parts through the panel. Only two of them had been modified and no one had actually used them so far, but Thorne showed that he could handle this gun with ease as soon as he arrived, which made him admire it.
"What's a good self-defense weapon?" Thorne asked next as he received his gun behind his back.
"What are your requirements?" "More bullets, sufficient power, high accuracy, and more importantly - stability and reliability!" "Then this modified police pistol can fully meet your requirements, the VP70 overhaul - it has excellent performance! Fitted with a small muzzle reducer, it is convenient for stable continuous fire, and with the extended magazine, it can hold 30 rounds at once, and the maximum rate of fire can reach three rounds per second!" "Click, click, click, click!" Thorne pulled the trigger continuously at a very fast speed, and the slight feedback feeling of the internal magazine made him very satisfied.
"Ahem," Viper gulped, secretly admiring, "it seems the maximum rate of fire should be four rounds per second! It uses reinforced materials with high strength, the barrel is treated with special heat dissipation, it can fire multiple consecutive shots in a short period of time without accumulating too much heat, there is also a certain sound deadening effect, it can use reinforced bullets, this bullet has 6% more primer, the muzzle muzzle velocity is increased by 10%, it is more powerful, and the warhead design is unique, although it does not have particularly strong penetrating power, it will explode inside the target and Generate an extremely powerful cavity effect, with amazing stopping power, I can guarantee that one shot just into the head of the zombie, it will lose half its life if not dead!" "Very good, I also need a knife!" Thorne sent the field knife of Embraer on the table, which still had spots of blood on it.
"This knife must be suitable for you, it's called Shark's Tooth - an alloy blade with two blood grooves that can be pulled out quickly after inserting into the enemy's body! The end of the blade with fine serrated teeth can cause lacerated wounds to the enemy's blood vessels, skin as well as muscle tissue, and if it pierces a blood vessel, ordinary bandages cannot stop the bleeding unless the opponent has professional hemostatic items! The handle of the knife has been specially shot, with anti-slip patterns, high temperature resistance, with a steel hammer at the bottom, can be used to hit each other, can cause good blunt force damage! The only drawback is that it is relatively heavy!" Thorne took the gray and white combat knife, waved it a few times, it felt good in the hand and the weight was appropriate.
Watching the knife flip and fly freely in Thorne's hands, Viper was impressed.
"Other grenades, flashbangs, smoke grenades and so on you can pick your own!" Viper paused and asked tentatively, "If you want to try the gun, you can come next door with me!" "You can try the gun? Great!" The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Coming next door, Thorne saw that three offices had large holes broken in their walls, linked together to form a large room fifteen meters long, with a licker chained to its limbs at the end.
"A live licker?" Thorne was a little surprised.
"Of course, to try to try live things, ah, just on the target test, the actual effect of how no one knows, the paper is not my style!" Viper answered rightfully.
The licker was bound for a long time, the body has been scarred, apparently after many "test robbery", it perceived the sound of someone, immediately irritable, and kept struggling, but was firmly trapped by the iron rope, to no avail.
"Its limbs are fitted with steel plates or bulletproof vests, you can hit the limbs to test the penetration, you can hit its body to test the damage to the biochemical monster under normal circumstances, but never hit the head, or you will have to find someone to get a new one back again.
"I'm sorry," Viper warned.
Thorne raised his gun and was just about to fire when suddenly the door to the test room was pushed open.
Someone came in and Thorne subconsciously stopped shooting.
I saw that the one who came in was a young man in his twenties, brown hair, half a head higher than Thorne, good-looking, but with a brutal face.
"Norton, what brings you here?" "Came to test the guns and to see our new team leader.
"I'm sorry," said the young man named Norton, who was carrying a shotgun.
"You're from Group C?" Thorne asked in a friendly manner.
Who knows, the other party actually threw him a blank stare.
"Isn't it obvious? I just said it.
"Thorne instantly understood his intention somewhat, the bastard was here to give the new officer the benefit of the doubt.
When he first joined the work, because of his excellent work, he was appointed as the leader of a design team as soon as he arrived at the company, and there were several team members who did not obey him.
It seems that because his arrival interrupted the man's original dream of promotion, the man's attitude towards him was also extremely unfriendly, constantly presenting himself as a veteran employee and often disobeying commands.
In the end, the man himself was arrogant and negligent, leading to a subtle mistake that nearly caused the company great damage.
Fortunately, Thorne discovered the problem at a critical moment and gave timely feedback, defusing a crisis.
The man was finally ashamed of himself and submitted his resignation, and the other members of the group had full recognition of Thorne's strength and never had any more complaints.
Thorne has experience, you can't be polite to these types of people, otherwise he will either harm himself or others in the future! "Stand at attention!" Thorne reprimanded in a stern voice.
Norton was stunned, subconsciously straightened up, but immediately slackened down again, with a look of old me bias not on his face.
"It seems that you are openly disobeying orders?" Thorne deliberately said, "I wonder what the Grey King thinks about this?" "Ha, you don't need to press me with the captain, if you have the ability, compete with me, you win me, and I will obey you!" Norton barked, "But, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare!" "I'm here to lead Group C, not to compete with you!" Thorne knew the best thing to do now, was to retreat, he wouldn't just agree to a match, he would make sure his opponent was arrogant enough first, then give him a heavy blow to dispel all his delusions! "Hahahaha, wimp!" Sure enough, Norton became even more arrogant.
"Viper, you can publicize everything that happened here and let everyone know what kind of a loser our new C-team leader is!" Viper showed a difficult expression, came up to Thorne and said, "You can agree to his request.
""Compared to him?" "Yes, compare with him!" "The Grey King would allow such a thing to happen in the team?" "This kind of competition to determine positions is actually not something he is against.
"Viper explained, and then pulled Thorne aside, lowered his voice and said:" C group leader died, C group immediately after a competition, except for individual abstention, regardless of marksmanship, fighting or tactical decisions, Norton won, so, if you do not come, he is the new group leader! Thorne "hmm", secretly said so.
Viper further said, "So, if you don't compare with him, he must not be convinced, and the people in Group C definitely won't be convinced of you either! Especially since you're new and previously obscure, they won't put you in their sights!" Just then, the door to the room pushed open again, and in came a lazy-looking team member to come, with the Group C mark on his armband.
The man looked at Thorne and saw that he had nothing overwhelming in his appearance, so he showed his disdain and deliberately asked, "Yo, Norton, you're here too? What are you doing?" "Waiting to compete with the new team leader in marksmanship!" Norton replied.
"Oh, great, we happen to be spectators!" The two men immediately clasped their hands with the expression of spectators.
Thorne secretly said: very good, the provocateur has, the audience has, red face white are all together, you want to compare, then let's compare! ,,,,,,,,,,
