Chapter 172 The Traitor of the Academy

   refugee camp.

   In a humble shack.

   Looking at the old man lying on the stretcher, Yin Fang took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and slowly extended his right hand.

   Pause for a moment.

  I saw at the pulse of his right hand, a silver scalpel slowly stretched out until it was an inch longer than the middle finger.

   The scalpel is bent down slowly, just like the forelimbs of a mantis. Looking closely, there were four silver threads around the scalpel, floating in the air like tentacles.

   Looking at the young man's right hand, the old man curled up on the stretcher looked terrified, tremblingly wanted to ask, but did not dare to make a sound.

   "Don't be afraid, I will help you heal the wound."

   comforting the old man, Yin Fang concentrated all his energy on the operation.

   Anesthetic injection.

   followed by disinfection.

   I saw the five fingers of his right hand, flexibly and skillfully shaking up and down, manipulating the scalpel and silver wire hanging under the palm of his hand.

   It's like manipulating a marionette!

  The scalpel accurately avoided the nerves and blood vessels in the muscle tissue, carefully cut off the necrotic part, and skillfully used silver wire to thread and bandage the needle, leaving only the slender thread like spider silk.

   The whole set of actions flows smoothly!

  Yin Fang held his breath and stared, his mind was highly concentrated, fine sweat oozes from his forehead, and even the frequency of his breathing was carefully controlled.

  Under his precise control and operation, the excision and bandaging of the necrotic tissue were carried out almost at the same time, and the blood loss during the whole operation was minimal.

   The operation lasted an hour.

   After cutting off all the necrotic tissue, Yin Fang finally let out a sigh of relief, raised his left hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.

   Then, he took out a small tube of spray from his pocket and sprayed it carefully on his right hand several times before slowly retracting the outstretched scalpel and silver wire into the bionic prosthesis.

  Almost at the same time, an unfamiliar voice came from behind him.

   "Amazing technology...is this a bionic prosthesis for medical use?"

  Yin Fang was startled, he turned his head sharply, and saw a man wearing an exoskeleton standing at the door, looking at him with interest.

   He was so focused during the operation just now that he didn't even notice that someone came in.

   Yin Fang was nervous and hid his right hand behind him, even though he quickly realized that it was no different from wanting to cover up.

   put down his arms, Chu Guang said with a friendly expression on his face in a chatty tone.

   "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask casually... Are you a doctor?"

  “…”

  Yin Fang's face was full of hesitation.

  Chu Guang knew when he saw his expression, this guy was probably hiding a lot of things, and he was probably racking his brains to make up stories, thinking of ways to fool himself.

Why bother?

  Grandpa won't eat you.

   Too lazy to listen to this guy making up stories full of loopholes, Chu Guang looked at him and said bluntly.

"I am the manager of Vault 404 and the lord here. If you need help or have ideas to improve your living conditions, you can go to Jiuli or Luca, and they will bring you to see me. ."

   "I will offer a job to someone who is capable, but only if he is honest enough."

After    finished speaking, Chu Guang didn't stay here any longer, turned around and walked out the door.

   Looking at the closed door, Yin Fang slowly let out a sigh of relief, and his tensed shoulders also relaxed.

   At this time, a weak voice came from the stretcher behind him.

   "Thank you, lad."

   Just now, the old man was awake, but there was a big man here, so he didn't dare to interrupt.

  Yin Fang looked back at the old man, forced a smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone.

   "You're welcome, are you feeling better?"

   "Much better..." The old man nodded, reading the atmosphere here, he whispered embarrassedly, "I've caused you trouble."

   "It's fine." Yin Fang shook his head.

  Human life is important, and these people have helped me a lot.

   If it is a person, he can't get here at all, and he can't escape the pursuit of bounty hunters.

  The old man sat up on a stretcher and wanted to walk down the ground, but his legs still hurt, so he gave up after trying several times.

   At this time, a man came in outside the shack. Seeing the old man's appearance, he quickly stepped forward and supported him.

   "Dad, are you feeling better?"

   A smile spread on the old man's face, nodded and said.

   "Feeling better...Thanks to this guy, if he gets into any trouble in the future, you have to help him."

  Sun Cheng turned to look at Yin Fang, and said sincerely.

   "Brother, thank you very much! My name is Sun Cheng, you saved my father's life, if it's useful, you can tell me."

  Yin Fang shook his head and said that you were welcome, and did not take this promise thinner than paper to heart.

   If only it were that simple.

   His troubles can't be solved by any wastelander.

   Watching the father and son leave the shack, Yin Fang sat on a chair beside him and sighed while looking at the ceiling.

"Hey."

"Let me go……"

  …

   "There is a doctor in the exile camp. Don't worry about the plague. He looks like a warm-hearted person. Just leave it to him to deal with it."

"Also, let Jiuli stare at him a little bit, but don't bother him on purpose, don't take the initiative to ask him questions, and don't make him feel that he is being taken special care of. If he has any suspicious behavior, tell him. I will report."

After    came out of the shack, Chu Guang found old Luca and explained the matter to him.

   "Okay sir, leave this to me!"

  Old Luca nodded earnestly, keeping this matter firmly in his heart.

   Vault 404 has not fully established a trust relationship with these refugees, and it is natural to be vigilant. In this case, we should not act too hastily.

  Chu Guang was not in a hurry to pry open the secret of that person, nor was he in a hurry to invite him to his place.

   In the icy weather, can people still run?

The things    asked were a bit of a coercion after all, so he might as well wait for him to figure it out, and take the initiative to confess to himself.

   After leaving the camp, Chu Guang was planning to inspect the labor reform of the prisoners of war.

   But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunshots from the north of the refugee camp.

  Listen to the sound, it is about 1 km away from here.

   And the battle seemed to be fierce, Chu Guang even heard the explosion of the earth grenade made by mosquitoes.

   didn't panic at all, Chu Guang didn't say a word, and immediately edited a mission through the VM and sent it to the devices of players within the designated range of the map.

  【Mission: Players within 1 km of the map point, immediately go to the target area for support. 】

  【Requirement: Keep at least one prisoner】

  【Reward: 10 Silver, 10 Contribution, 50 Regional Prestige】

   Hearing the sound of gunshots, it was estimated that there were only four or five guns.

   survived six?

   I’ve been in the wasteland for a long time, and guessing the number of people listening to the sound of gunfire can be said to be basic. It’s not realistic to guess at all, but there is no problem with guessing the upper limit.

  According to the display on the VM map, there are at least thirty players in the area where the conflict occurred, and most of them are old players.

   Handed it over to them, Chu Guang was very relieved.

  …

  Unlike Chu Guang, at this moment, Eugene felt terrible.

   It was a very simple task. If the situation is optimistic, it can be done in three months. As a result, the pig teammates gave it to the current situation.

   If he knew this would happen, he might as well act alone.

   But complaining now seems pointless.

   Within ten minutes of the gunshots, he and his teammates were surrounded by at least 30 people. The dense gunshots came from all directions, making them unable to lift their heads at all.

  Eugene saw with his own eyes that the mercenary who fired the first shot was beaten into a sieve together with his pet dog. As for the other three, they were all killed one by one during the resistance.

   Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he immediately dropped the weapon in his hand and surrendered without any hesitation.

  Those men roughly tied his hands, then dropped him on a truck, dragged him behind the concrete fence, escorted him into a spacious room, and pressed him to the ground.

   A man wearing a blue exoskeleton sat in the room, looked him up and down with scrutiny eyes, and said.

   "Marauders?"

  Eugene didn't answer immediately, his head turned fast, thinking about how to get out of here.

   However, the man wearing the exoskeleton did not seem to be very patient. Seeing that he did not speak, he waved his hand impatiently.

   "If you don't say anything, just drag it on and deal with it."

   Anyway, the equipment on this person doesn't look very valuable, and it is estimated that he is not someone with a background.

   The wrench standing beside Chu Guang was no nonsense, and immediately stepped forward, grabbed the prisoner's collar, and dragged it outside.

   Seeing this battle, Eugene panicked and said quickly.

   "I'm not a predator, I, my name is Eugene, I'm a mercenary! My lord, I have no malice."

   "No malicious intent?" He motioned for the wrench to stop, Chu Guang looked at him with interest and said, "You mean, that shuttle is a fire?"

   The first contact criteria of Vault 404 are not to take the initiative to attack NPC units in the neutral area, but neutral units that actively fire are allowed to retaliate in any form.

  VM is not only a vital sign monitor, but also has the function of action recording. Although there is no video, but through clues such as gunshots, audio recordings, etc., it is easy to judge who made the first move.

  Chu Guang is very curious, how this guy intends to explain.

   Being stared at by that gaze, Eugene felt horrified and said quickly.

   "That was a misunderstanding, I didn't fire the gun... I and those people are just a partnership in commission!"

   "Entrust?" Staring at him with scrutiny, Chu Guang continued to ask, "What entrustment?"

   Dare to hide anything, Eugene quickly confessed.

   "It's a commission from the college."

   Hearing this unexpected word, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, but he did not show it on his face, but stared at him and continued to interrogate.

   "Go ahead."

  Eugene swallowed and continued speaking quickly.

"About three months ago...I received a request from the Academy, they wanted us to help track down a defector prospector. We followed the clues provided by the employer all the way to the Valley Province. If not for some accident , we should have caught him last month, but by coincidence, we ran into the rout of the legion, and the guy was lucky enough to infiltrate a group of refugees."

   "Does the traitor you mentioned have a bionic body?" Chu Guang said thoughtfully.

  Eugene's eyes lit up and nodded quickly.

"That's right! It should be him! The commission asks us to take him back to the Wandering Swamp, or at least take his arm back. If you're willing to give him to me, I can give you five or five of the bounty—no, four or six. You are six, I am four!"

   60% of me is fine.

   restrained himself from laughing, Chu Guang looked at him and said.

   "How much bounty did the people at the academy give you?"

   Thought that Chu Guang was moved by his proposal, Eugene hurriedly continued.

   "5000CR! We used to have six people, but now it's just the two of us."

  Chu Guang looked at him unexpectedly and asked.

   "CR? Why does the college pay with corporate money."

"It's not that the college pays the bill with the company's money, my lord, it's us mercenaries who only accept the CR of the company, or the dinar of the legion." Eugene explained helplessly, "You should know that the currency in every place is Different, I've even seen cartridge cases and bottle caps traded."

Although corporate banknotes are highly inflationary far from the east coast, a rifle that sells for 300CR on the east coast can sell for 600 or even 800CR in the river valley provinces, but even this is better than those with strong regional colors. .

  Chu Guang touched his chin and thought.

   is only 5000CR.

  So, it shouldn't be an important fugitive.

   If it is a reward of 500,000 CR, Chu Guang may have to consider the "diplomatic risk" of leaving people behind. But for this point of reward, 80% of them are "net escapers", and it is estimated that the B-level wanted is not enough.

   But such a big thing, that person actually hides it from himself.

  The kid is dishonest.

  Chu Guang's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the wrench waiting by the side.

   "You go to the exile camp, find a man named Yin Fang, and bring him to me."

   "Yes, my lord." Wrench nodded and immediately walked out the door.

   did not wait long.

The    wrench quickly brought the person Chu Guang wanted to see.

   Seeing Eugene in the room, Yin Fang's expression changed instantly, he turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by the wrench standing at the door.

  Eugene saw Yin Fang with surprise on his face, and hurriedly said loudly.

   "Sir, it's him—"

"To shut up."

  Chu Guang motioned Eugene to close his mouth with his eyes, then looked at the young man whose eyes were full of fear, and said.

   "Do you have to explain something to me?"

   Yin Fang had a bitter expression on his face and lowered his head.

   "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide my identity from you..."

  Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

   "Are you from the Academy?"

  Yin Fang nodded.

   But soon, his eyes dimmed and he shook his head again.

   "It was six months ago, but it is not now."
