Geralt looked around and found a seat.

One person forms a group.

"These people with strong temperaments are not good people." Geralt thought to himself.

Well, it seems that I am not either.

Oh, that's fine.

Geralt took out his cell phone and texted Nancy.

Geralt lowered his head, seemingly immersed in the world of his mobile phone.At this time, a thin man in the largest team came out, pursed his lips, and showed a joking expression.He quietly approached from behind, trying to scare Geralt.

No one reminded Geralt, everyone had their own thoughts.

Some just want to see Geralt make a fool of himself.

The thin man raised his palm, ready to slap Geralt on the shoulder, when he suddenly made a sound.

however.

Geralt turned suddenly.

Stare at the thin man.

It doesn't matter if the thin man slaps his palm down, nor does it matter if he puts it down.

I was embarrassed.

Geralt asked with a cold face: "Is something wrong?"

"Um, it's okay, just say hello."

"Oh."

Geralt lowered his head and continued playing with his phone, not giving the thin man a good look.The average adult's four-dimensional attributes fluctuate around 10 points. Geralt's four-dimensional attributes are all over 20, and his strength is as high as 29.High numerical four-dimensional attributes bring about an overall improvement in overall quality.

In short, Geralt's five senses were clear and sharp, and he had long noticed the thin man's actions.

The thin man stole the chicken but lost the rice, so he returned to the team.

There was a burst of laughter from the team, and the thin man gouged out Geralt's eyes bitterly.

If you fail to trick someone, blame others?

Typical gangster logic!

Five minutes later, secretary Susan Carpenter came back, bringing six assistants with her.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is different from the secretary to the chairman.

The assistants are all dressed in professional suits and leather shoes, in a proper elite style.

None of them were holding a stack of papers and handing them out to everyone present.

Employment contract, in triplicate.

The official seal has been stamped in advance.

The contract states:

As long as a team or individual successfully rescues Daniel Gates alive, there will be a reward of 1000 million Baileys.

Under this premise, for every person rescued, the reward will be increased by 100 million.

Find valid clues and get a reward of 100 million.

If nothing happens, the Gates Group will pay for everyone’s travel, food and accommodation expenses.

"Do you have any questions? If so, please ask now."

After everyone had finished reading, the secretary finally said.

A girl wearing a peaked cap said:

"What if everyone, including Daniel Gates, was killed?"

"Board and lodging included."

Susan gave her a faint look.

Will you speak?

Shut up if you can't speak.

In other words, a dead Daniel Gates is worthless.Ensure the probability of Daniel's survival to the greatest extent.

The question is, do those who profit from Daniel's death care about the 1000 million bounty?

Susan said: "Is there any more?"

The thin man who wanted to scare Geralt pointed at Geralt and said: "This man has thin skin and tender flesh, and does not look like someone with jungle survival skills. Such a person should be driven away. Otherwise, it is an insult to professionals."

Looking at it this way, the people present were tall, short, fat and thin, and all had a strong temperament.Even the girl wearing a peaked cap has a toned figure, and her muscles seem to contain the explosive power of a leopard.

Only Geralt is fair and fair.

Geralt: "..."

Blame me.

Susan did not respond immediately to the thin man's question, but waved.The assistant handed over two documents, one for the thin man and one for Geralt.

Ten lines at a glance.

A few seconds later, Susan said:

"There is no doubt that Mr. Winchester is a professional recommended by friends in the Gates Group."

"Mr. Edmund, are you asking the Gates Group to do something?"

puff!

Several people laughed either uncontrollably or on purpose.

Susan’s implication is twofold:

[-]. In terms of professionalism, Susan is more optimistic about Geralt.

Two, well, that's just insulting to you.

The thin man named "Edmund", whose face turned the color of pig liver, did not dare to attack Susan.

Yes, he is not qualified to teach the Gates Group how to do things, let alone challenge him.

A little episode.

Susan continued: "If there is no problem, please sign your name or seal on the contract. The contract is in triplicate, and you will take one copy with you. It is your pass to enter Lake Eden."

Geralt had no objections, signed his name and left the building with a contract.

In the car, Geralt made a call.

connected.

"Catelyn?" Geralt said.

"It's me," Caitlin said. "How's it going?"

"The contract is signed." Geralt said: "A group of temporary hired ragtag troops, isn't it too sloppy?"

Caitlin said: "Is there a possibility that they are not sloppy, but they just don't pay attention to you?"

Geralt choked, saying that made sense.

Geralt was stunned, Caitlin was happy for a moment, and then continued to talk about business.

"The Thorny Snake, a subsidiary of the Gates Group, is a private military and security consulting company. In the past two days, they have turned upside down in a ten-mile radius with Lake Eden as the center."

The so-called "private military and security consulting companies" are actually Black Gloves. The main members are retired agents or soldiers, a group of garbage whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people.

"The results of it?"

"Not found, the tracking failed, otherwise it wouldn't be your turn to be 'strange people'. The supernatural field is not an area that Thorny Snake is good at."

"oh oh."

……

……

Lake Eden.

Campground grove.

The people in the Gates Tower conference room gathered together again.

Geralt arrived last.

It's not that he is slow, it's that others are faster.I fought hard for the 1000 million bounty.

The site is well protected.

There are special guards.

The employees of Thorny Snake are elites from various organizations and have real abilities.People with real abilities are inevitably arrogant. If they can't find clues, they naturally don't think others can.

Many of them looked on with cold eyes and regarded the so-called "odd people and strangers" as liars.

Waiting to see the joke.

From Geralt's point of view, there are many people with real abilities.

A thin middle-aged man with a long Gandalf-style beard touched the tree trunks, touched the leaves, and lay on the ground in close contact with the grass.

The ability to communicate with plants?

Over at the mercenary team, there was a man sniffing and sniffing like a hound.

Developed sense of smell?

Two seemingly private detectives, one male and one female.

The male detective was dazed and seemed to be talking to himself.

The man is a medium, trying to communicate with forest spirits.

Geralt turned on his spiritual vision and looked around.There are many things in the information sent by Caitlin.But the difference between looking at the picture and looking at it in reality is very big.

At least ordinary cameras can't capture weird and special traces.

Under spiritual vision, there was faint black air floating in the air.

Are there many oversized footprints on the ground?

If you wear shoes, they must be at least fifty yards, and they only have three toes.Taking into account the hardness of the ground and the depth of the footprints, the owner of the footprints weighs about 300 pounds.

Bigfoot?

With such strange footprints, how could the people of Thorny Snake be so calm?Do they think these are little tricks used by the kidnappers to confuse everyone?

Thinking about it this way, the possibility is very high.

Geralt spent nearly an hour walking through the woods and marking the footprints he found on paper to form a distribution map.

Touching his chin, Geralt whispered:

"According to the distribution map, there is more than one monster kidnapping high school students. After catching people, they dispersed in different directions. The purpose is to confuse the public."

"It means that the monster may have an online IQ, or it may be controlled by someone behind it."

"What's the other party's motive? Is someone targeting the Gates Group? Or does the monster just want to catch a few high school students to eat something tender and warm?"

Judging from the monster’s methodical behavior,

Geralt prefers the former.

If so, Daniel is most likely still alive and things are not going well for everyone else.

1000 million Baileys... emmmmm, how about buying a sports car?

Geralt drew out his alloy machete.

Follow one of the paths and head deeper into the Feilong Mountain Range.

Jungle adventure is difficult and dangerous.Especially the primitive jungle, even top survival experts dare not despise it.

The main dangers in the jungle are: poisonous insects and beasts, lack of food and water, disease, hypothermia, mental breakdown, other humans, and various supernatural monsters.

Geralt has followed John and Mary around the world since he was a child, spending at least a quarter of his time in deserted deserts and deep mountains and old forests.

The jungle was no stranger to Geralt, and he even felt a little familiar and nostalgic about it.

Since the day the forbidden curse tattoo was tattooed on his body, Geralt has never suffered from ordinary diseases. All the pain comes from the physical pain and mental torture caused by the forbidden curse tattoo.

There are gains and losses.

Poisonous snakes, spiders, centipedes, mosquitoes... all common and deadly poisonous insects in the jungle, Geralt avoids them all, for fear of poisoning himself to death in the process.

Winchester.

Jungle survival master per capita.

"The smell has disappeared, sorry boss."

Morgan, a member of the mercenary team, sniffed.

The nose was swollen and red, like an old alcoholic's rosacea.

His ability is a super sense of smell. At this time, his nose is overused and it is very uncomfortable.

The voice was loud.

"fine."

In the team, a young man spoke.

——She has a popular appearance and a bit heavy bags under her eyes, which makes her look like she is physically weak due to staying up too late.Most people would never expect that he is actually the leader of a group of tough mercenaries.

The others were convinced with a fearful attitude, indicating that the frail young leader must have something extraordinary.

Maybe it’s because my brain is super easy to use.

It may also be a person with special abilities.

A frail young leader.

He raised his hand to signal that he should stop moving forward.

"Rest in place for 15 minutes."

"Leon, Turner, you are responsible for the security."

"Yes!" x2.

The two of them got into the jungle, and their bodies were hidden among the dense branches and leaves.

Turner is the thin man named Emmons who tried to scare Geralt before.The two of them had been protected in the middle of the team, conserving their energy just to be useful at this time.

For 10 minutes, there were two clear bird calls, two long and two short, in the forest.

This is the team's secret code.

It means that there are unexpected situations, but the problems are not big.At the same time, remind your teammates not to overreact, lest you accidentally collapse one of your own.

after awhile.

The girl in the cap walked out of the bushes first, followed by Turner, who pointed his gun at her.

The frail leader stared at the girl in the peaked hat, who was not panicked.

He waved his hand, telling Turner to put the gun down.

He said kindly but feebly:

"Hello, everyone usually calls me Mantis, what do you call me?"

"Kara."

"Very good, Kara. I have a question. Since you have followed us all the way, why do you show up now?"

As soon as these words came out, others were stunned, especially Turner.

It turned out that no one noticed after following him all the way.

And he showed up proactively...

"You are the strongest and I want to cooperate."

"Haha."

Mantis seemed to find Kara's words funny and laughed out loud.

Mercenaries: "..."

Their leader's laugh point is very strange and low. He often laughs and kills people suddenly.This inexplicable cruelty is frightening.

After taking a breath, Mantis said: "You also said that we are the strongest, so why should we cooperate with you?"

He looked at Kara and said, "You have a good figure, but I don't know if it's moisturized or not. Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

The car drove off guard.

And the tone was serious, as if he was really discussing with Kara.

Kara seemed to think about it seriously, shook her head and refused:

"No."

"That's it, what a pity."

Mantis showed a regretful expression, and then looked at Kara, asking her to answer the reason why she cooperated.

Kara said:

"Two reasons.

[-]. Your tracking is in trouble, and I can help you point the way.

Second, after completing the task, I don’t want a bounty. "

"Don't want the bounty?" Mantis smiled half-heartedly.

This is what the world looks like in your eyes.He is the kind of mercenary who has no moral bottom line for money.Naturally, I find it unbelievable that I don’t want a bounty.

Naturally, Carla’s words were not credible.

Or there is a bigger intention behind it.

Kara said: "David White, one of the missing people, my brother."

"That's it." Mantis only paid attention to Daniel. He only knew that the price of the others was 100 million, so he didn't know their names.he

He looked directly into Kara's eyes and asked, "It seems you like him very much?"

"My parents gave him all their love."

"It's really contagious." Mantis sighed, as if he didn't hear what Kara meant.Just when others thought he would cooperate, they said to his subordinates: "She is yours... Oh, by the way, remember to tell me whether she is running or not..."

The mercenaries surrounded Kara, showing dirty expressions that all men knew.

Kara glanced at Mantis, and it was just as the information said, he was a psychopath.

She calmly pulled down the zipper of her coat.

"Oh, take it off yourself, are you so proactive?"

"I like to move on my own."

"Ha ha……"

The laughter stopped suddenly, like a duck being pinched by the neck.

Carla was seen taking off her coat, revealing a vest.

This vest is a bit special, it’s full of pockets.In his pocket were plastic bombs the size of playing cards.

——This is the C4 that often appears in movies.

This thing is stable, highly malleable, and powerful. It can be pasted on like chewing gum by coating the surface with adhesive material, so it has another name: "Cruel Chewing Gum."

Judging from the quantity, it was enough to blow everyone present into the sky.

Kara stretched out her left hand and showed a detonator, "Just release it and everyone will finish playing together."

Mercenaries may kill a lot of people, but they are also often faced with a thin line between life and death.

However, who wants to die if they can live?

Their expressions suddenly changed, and they all took a step back.

Only... Mantis took a step forward.

Staring at Kara.

His eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such an attractive girl!"

"I was wrong!"

"my apologies."

Mantis bowed vigorously.

He took another step forward.

"Don't come over!" Kara shouted: "Otherwise I will let go."

"Okay." Mantis said.
