Look at the last friendly reminder from Roger.

Meng Lei's fingers that were about to fall in the air stopped involuntarily.

With a hint of suspicion in his eyes, he frowned solemnly.

"Don't leave a living room? What does the alliance want a dead person to do? And it still pays a lot of money to buy a life, it's a bit unreasonable!"

Meng Lei had a gurgling in his heart, and always felt that Roger's last sentence was very abrupt and strange.

The key is that the words "friendship reminder" are clearly expressed. This is not the original intention of the alliance, but Roger's personal intention.

"What's the situation? Does Roger feel that the mission requirements of the alliance are too difficult, and deliberately find loopholes in the terms to help me reduce the difficulty?"

"But what does he want? To win my favor and sell my favor?"

The more Meng Lei thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. This reason was untenable.

He suddenly had a feeling that Roger was intentionally leading him to destroy the Molten Rock Outpost, thereby killing people.

Let the Alliance not be able to arrest and arraign the behind-the-scenes culprits of this incident, and obtain more information about the Alien Separation Organization.

But why would he do this?

Meng Lei took a deep breath and stood there for a long time with the tablet, completely unable to understand the reason.

After a while, he typed his question on the screen.

If this matter is not clear, he will always feel restless in his heart.

Not long after the message was sent, Roger sent a reply, apparently keeping beside the tablet, waiting for Meng Lei's reply.

"This matter is very complicated. I can't explain it in a few words. When you return to Xier City after completing the task, we can meet and have a good chat."

Roger didn't seem to intend to tell Meng Lei the truth directly, but he sent an invitation to him.

Meng Lei thought for a moment,

Although Roger's true intentions are unclear at present, one thing is certain that the other party has no intention of harming him.

At least from this point of view, the truth may not be particularly bad.

Put down your doubts for now.

Whether the Alliance can catch the mastermind behind the scenes is not important to him, and what Roger wants to do has nothing to do with him.

As long as the reward is enough, it is not impossible to take the risk of going back and help the Alliance to vote for him.

"What's the reward?"

Meng Lei asked directly.

Roger's side also responded quickly.

"In view of the valuable advice you provided to Searle Weekly, the league has decided to distribute the two awards together.

Among them, once you accept the alliance's request and complete the task as agreed,

Then your prestige in the alliance will increase from friendliness to respect, and the sea areas and outposts under the jurisdiction of the alliance can be unimpeded!

Of course, it's limited to your first-generation Typhon boat, the Sea Locust.

In addition, in the future, you can enjoy a 30% discount on any purchase of materials and all consumption in the alliance, except for transactions in the auction house.

Finally, as long as you can complete this task,

The Alliance will give you a free F-class transport submarine worth 150,000 marks.

Although it is a bare boat without any upgrades, it is also worth a lot of money! "

After reading Roger's message word by word, Meng Lei's breathing gradually became quicker before he knew it.

Good guy, three awards, each of which has a reason that people can't refuse.

Meng Lei had done calculations before, and it would take at least half a year to upgrade from friendliness to respect according to the speed at which he currently earns reputation points by doing tasks.

Neutral to friendly is a threshold, and the threshold is low.

However, from friendliness to respect, it is like a gap, and it is difficult to improve in a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, the Alliance was so generous this time, and directly raised his prestige to respect!

Perhaps the piece of advice he gave to Searle Weekly earlier played a huge role in that too.

Under the combination of the two, it is reasonable that the reputation value increases so quickly.

In addition, aside from the purchasing power of the 30% discount,

In the end, the alliance even gave him an F-class transport boat for free, which greatly exceeded Meng Lei's expectations.

It is not difficult to see that the alliance is really willing to pay for it in order to seize the mastermind behind this incident.

Hundreds of thousands of submarines are given away, just from the perspective of the reward level.

The reward for this task is simply higher than the S-level task in the bounty system!

It can be seen that the alliance attaches great importance to this incident!

"Captain Meng, the remuneration we gave is enough to reflect the sincerity of the alliance. How about it, think about it?"

At this time, Roger sent another message.

Meng Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Touching the screen with his fingertips, Meng Lei replied:

"I already have the submarine. I don't need more for the time being, and there is no manpower to open it. Can it be directly exchanged for money?"

The market price of an F-class transport boat is 150,000.

If it can be converted into money, even if he takes the 150,000 yuan and buys another one, he can make a difference of tens of thousands of yuan.

You know, except for auction house transactions.

As long as this task is completed, he can enjoy a 30% discount on all future consumption in the alliance.

Taking advantage of this advantage can not only save a lot of money, but even make money!

It didn't take long for a response from Roger.

"Okay, I can directly call the shots and promise you."

Immediately after, Roger sent another message.

"So, Captain Meng, are you agreeing to our alliance's request and agreeing to this cooperation?"

He got a positive answer, but Meng Lei did not reply directly to Roger.

After pondering for a while, he felt that it was better to communicate with the crew in advance to analyze the feasibility and risk factors of this task.

At the moment, Meng Lei briefly explained the alliance's request to everyone through the short-distance communication headset.

When he heard that he had just left the tiger's den, Meng Lei actually planned to go deep into Longtan again.

Everyone was startled, and immediately began to talk about it.

"I think it's a blessing from God that we can save this time.

Moreover, they have gained such a big gain from whoring for nothing, and there is no need to risk themselves to meddle in the alliance. "

Jia Quan's suggestion is relatively conservative, and believes that everything is given priority to safety.

Simon expressed a different opinion, saying:

"Reputation at the respected level is generally very rare.

Because after reaching respect, once prestige has not changed for a long time, it will not rise but fall, and fall back to friendliness.

Therefore, it is extremely rare to be able to maintain the prestige of the alliance at the respected level.

Since the captain has the opportunity to step into this threshold, he naturally has to grasp it well. Anyway, it is a matter of a few railguns, and it is not too difficult. "

After a pause, Simon said again:

"Furthermore, 150,000 marks is not a small amount, and you can't earn that much when you normally do a task for more than half a month! You have to take a huge risk!

So, my advice is to start as soon as possible and make a fortune! "

When the words fell, Huo Ye stood up, but did not make any constructive comments.

"No matter what the commander finally decides, I will fully support it!"

The other few people also had no opinion and respected Meng Lei's decision.

In the end, only the fat owner of the supplies store, Lanny, whispered:

"A 30% discount, it's a fool not to take such a big advantage, 10 million of materials can save 3 million!

If more than 5% of bounty hunters have such strong purchasing power, the alliance and several major companies will cry to death! "

After some negotiation, most people supported Meng Lei's U-turn.

But more people remained on the sidelines, expressing unconditional obedience to orders.

Meng Lei pondered for a moment, and finally decided to agree to the alliance's request and make another profit before leaving!

"If we go back, then our personnel can't be so scattered anymore. We must take into account the other party's response fleet, arrive one step ahead of us, and block the sea area in advance."

Hawke said in a deep voice, reminding Meng Lei to be fully prepared.

After Meng Lei sent a confirmation reply to Roger, he nodded and said:

"We went back first, retreated as soon as we found a suspicious submarine, then hid the other three ships, and concentrated all the personnel to prepare for the confrontation.

If you can beat it, you can fight it. If you can't beat it, you will give up the task and leave the ship after you are out of danger.

Anyway, even if the mission fails, we have nothing to lose. "

"it is good!"

After a decision was made, everyone no longer delayed, and immediately drove the submarine to turn around and headed towards the Rongyan Outpost.

...

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The administrative area on the second floor of Rongyan Outpost, in the stationmaster's office.

Bud stood in front of the window with a thick cigar in his hand.

The crowd gathered under the municipal building has dissipated, and the residents and bounty hunters trapped in the administrative area gradually calmed down under the comfort of the official alliance.

Three hours later, these people are still kept in the dark, and they don't know what happened in the lower area.

However, under the intentional guidance of Bud, combined with the loss of communication with the outside world.

Everyone probably guessed that the site should have been attacked by terrorists.

Therefore, these people also quieted down and felt extremely fortunate.

It was not a lucky thing to be able to hide in the administrative area on the second floor and escape, even though he was trapped.

But what they don't know is that in the eyes of some people, they are no different from the dead.

"Dongdongdong!"

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Bud retracted his gaze and took a deep breath with a cigar in his mouth.

"Enter!"

Eddie pushed in the door and stepped forward very quickly.

"Mayor, the fault of the shaft passage has been repaired, and it has been delayed for so long.

The engineering department was worried about revealing its faults, and it could only do so much. "

Bud glanced at the electronic clock on the table, and a disgusting smile appeared on his fat face.

He nodded and said:

"It's almost three hours, the infection should have spread to the whole city, and the Security Office can prepare to close the net!"

"Yes!"

Eddie nodded heavily and said solemnly, "Then I'll make arrangements and start the purge procedure immediately!"

"Well, let's go!"

Bud waved his hand, and his face showed the satisfaction that everything was under control.

However, when Eddie was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped the other party and asked:

"By the way, the response fleet has been arranged in advance, right? When will it arrive?"

Eddie did not hesitate, and immediately replied confidently:

"According to the agreed time, the responders should have arrived outside the outpost by now and are on standby in the airlock room in the lower area.

Once our side starts to close the net, they will immediately enter the battle, assist the security officer to clear the painted skin parasites in the city, and complete the collection of insect eggs. "

Hearing this, the smile on Bud's face suddenly became more intense.

He clapped his hands with great satisfaction, and even though a lot of soot fell on the table, he didn't care, and smiled happily:

"Not bad, good job! In this way, the efficiency of the collection work will be greatly improved, and it will buy us more time to evacuate!"

After a pause, Bud remembered something, and then warned:

"Also, let the responders blockade the surrounding waters, and strictly prohibit any ships from entering or leaving, and those who do not cooperate will be sunk on the spot!

If the Alliance fleet is discovered, hold them back as much as possible and send a shuttle boat back to report.

At that time, no matter how the egg collection level is, we will evacuate immediately! "

"Yes!"

Eddie nodded again, and without wasting time, turned and walked out of the stationmaster's office.

shortly after he left.

The people trapped in the administrative area on the second floor soon discovered that groups of armed men with live ammunition came out one after another from the gate of the Office of Security.

These people are all security officers in the city. It is said that when the accident happened in the lower area, an emergency meeting was being held at the Security Office.

There are a lot of people, nearly a hundred people!

At the moment, suddenly seeing a large number of these security officers fully armed, everyone immediately realized that,

The shaft passage leading to the lower area should have been repaired, and the alliance began to prepare for the chaos.

For a time, the people trapped in the second-floor area burst into cheers.

In their opinion, as long as the alliance takes action, the incident will soon subside, and they will be able to get out of trouble as soon as possible and return to normal life.

At this moment, no one can imagine what kind of ending will finally meet them.

The hatch leading to the shaft passage in the lower area opens,

A team of heavily armed security officers stepped in and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Then, the second team, the third team...

A total of five teams went to the lower business district one after another.

It didn't take too long, and fierce gunshots came one after another.

Even through several sealed hatches, the loud gunshots and huge explosions were faintly transmitted to the upper area through the vibration of the cavity and the conduction of the rock formations.

It was enough to see how fierce the battle that broke out below was.

In fact, the removal of the painted skin parasites that took place in the lower area was indeed extremely tragic!

However, the so-called miserable refers to the painted skin parasite unilaterally.

After more than three hours of spreading and fermentation, this large-scale painting skin infection has indeed swept the whole city.

Even the survivors who hid in the house at first were not able to escape in the end.

The entire Rongyan outpost, with a population of four or five thousand, at least more than 90% of the people, have fallen victim to this conspiracy at this moment.

In a dark steel jungle, the streets and alleys were full of corpses, and the whole city was completely turned into a purgatory on earth.

Through the insanely flickering dim light, a large number of twisted figures flying over the eaves and walls could be seen, madly shuttling between the high-rise buildings and covered bridges in the city.

The shrill and ear-piercing terrifying filial filial piety continued in an endless stream.

Compared with the number of painted skin parasites, the scavenger hunters sent by the separation organization were completely incomparable, only one tenth of the other party's.

However, these armed men have long been prepared to deal with it.

And obviously a long time in advance, the battle was deployed and planned in detail.

Not only was there sufficient firepower and ammunition reserves, but at the first moment of his appearance, he immediately imposed a strict blockade on several important streets near the shaft passage.

Dozens of fully-armed fighters threw themselves into the battle in an orderly manner, forming three blockades with sturdy firepower at the front and back.

With the perfect coordination of rifles and grenades, no matter how sensitive the painted skin parasites are, they will eventually fall one after another into the dense rain of bullets.

After all, the horror and advantage of the painted skin parasites lie in the water.

On land, this creature is by no means a match for a human-built combat force.

So the battle will undoubtedly eventually turn into a one-sided carnage.

With nearly a hundred fighters pouring out the firepower regardless of the consumption, all the painted skin parasites in the city were wiped out, it was just a matter of time.

...

Around nine ten in the evening.

After a long journey of more than an hour, Meng Lei and his party finally returned to the sea area near the Rongyan outpost again, and galloped in the direction of the Rongyan outpost along the route planned by the navigation when they came.

Due to environmental constraints, most of the areas near underwater outposts are submarine caves located in the middle of rock formations, or criss-cross tunnel structures.

Especially the outposts near the entrance of the channel are basically built in such an environment.

Therefore, the terrain gradually began to become narrow and crowded here.

And the channel leading to the outpost no longer has a variety of options, and in the end there is only one safe passage to pass through.

Meng Lei drove the Sea Locust submarine, always driving at the front of the queue to clear the way.

Along the way, in the first half of the journey, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very active.

But as it approached, the communication channel gradually became quiet, everyone stopped talking, and Meng Lei's expression became more focused and vigilant.

His eyes frequently swept to the sonar display beside the central control console, and he was highly concentrated.

Everyone knows that if the opposing fleet arrives at the molten rock outpost one step ahead of them.

Then a sea area not far ahead, I am afraid that it has been blocked by the enemy at this moment.

In this case, a disagreement might lead to war.

Therefore, everyone lost their playful mood, and their attention was unprecedentedly high.

When the fleet was about five kilometers away from the melting rock outpost.

At a certain moment, Meng Lei, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted in the earphone:

"Come on! The other party really grabbed ahead of us and blocked the passage!"

Simon, who followed behind, hurried to see the image displayed on the sonar display.

Sure enough, I saw a rectangular object hovering quietly in the middle of the undersea tunnel at the edge of the sonar detection range.

No matter from the appearance shape, or the position where it hovers out of thin air.

There is no doubt that this must be a submarine.

Moreover, it is still a high-level submarine larger than any submarine in their fleet.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

Jia Quan shouted in the earphone: "Look at the size of the opponent's submarine, if we have to fight, we will definitely not be able to fight!"

Meng Lei frowned.

As long as they are not fools, anyone can see that the submarine in the distance, which is more than one lap larger than the Sea Locust, is definitely not something they can deal with in terms of scale and armament.

Once the war begins, these people will definitely lose!

"Is it really going to give up like this? It's a great opportunity, I'm really a little unwilling!"

Meng Lei sighed deeply, and his heart began to retreat a little.

But as of this moment, he still retains a little bit of fantasy.

Now I only see a submarine blocking the road ahead, but the identity of the other party has not been confirmed. What if they are just passing by and are not the responders behind the scenes?

While thinking, he has not waited for him to finish his dream.

At this time, the central control display of the Sea Locust suddenly received a communication request from an unknown submarine.

Meng Lei was stunned, and after a little thought, he realized that 80% of it was sent by the submarine in the distance.

So, he immediately chose to answer, wanting to see what the other party's attitude was.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp male voice came from the loudspeaker.

"There is a sudden change in the channel ahead, no passage is allowed, don't go forward, all of you will return immediately!"

The other party's tone was very tough, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com had an indisputable taste, which was very uncomfortable.

Meng Lei frowned, judging from the other party's attitude, it was absolutely impossible to be a member of the alliance.

Then the identity of the other party is naturally self-evident.

Meng Lei wisely did not conflict with the other party, and said in a daze: "I see."

Then, he directly hung up the communication.

At this time, the rest of the team also heard each other's voice through the headphones.

Simon said immediately after the communication was disconnected:

"I didn't even ask about our identities, and they expelled us directly. This is obviously not the ship of the Alliance. It must be a courier who covers the black hands behind the scenes!"

"Damn, the other party is really well thought out, and they have built such an armed battleship to block the road. Even if the armed fleet of the alliance comes, it can delay it for a while! I'm afraid we are out of play..."

Hearing this, Meng Lei also sighed heavily, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to forcibly punch the card.

In addition to this channel, there is no other route that can detour to the Rongyan Outpost.

Even if there is, I am afraid that it has been tightly blocked by the other party, and there will be no other possibilities.

"It seems that we missed out on this batch of rewards from the alliance..."

Meng Lei shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile.

At this time, Hawke, who has always been taciturn, suddenly said in the earphone:

"Captain, if we fight head-on, we really have no chance of winning.

However, it is not entirely impossible to sink this warship by other means..."
