Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 482 Two Weapons Experts
A few minutes later, Li Jiu followed Omo to the secret room of the base.
There were a total of eight people in the secret room, six of whom were soldiers holding weapons, and the other two were scientific researchers in white coats.
“Platoon leader!” “Platoon leader!”…
As soon as Li Jiu and Omo came in, the soldiers inside immediately saluted Omo, and at the same time, they looked at the stranger Li Jiu with curiosity.
"Yeah." Omo nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the two men in white coats.
At the same time, Li Jiu was also looking at the two of them, and Mr. C was one of them.
I saw that the two people, one old and one young, were both of the yellow race.
The older man's hair had turned completely silver, but his face was ruddy and he looked in good spirits. However, this old man had a stern face and a somewhat grim expression, and he seemed difficult to get along with.
As for the young man, he looked to be in his twenties, with shiny black hair combed very neatly. He was handsome and looked gentle and refined. When he saw Li Jiu and the other person come in, he smiled and nodded at them.
"Hello Mr. C, I am Li Jiu, a captain mercenary of the Alliance. I recently received a mission from the Alliance and am ready to rescue you and return to the Alliance." After taking a look at the two men, Li Jiu walked over and said solemnly to the old man.
According to the image in the mission intelligence, this old man is the target of the mission to be rescued this time, weapons expert Mr. C!
"Mr. C? Who is Mr. C? Are you talking to me?" Unexpectedly, when the old man heard Li Jiu's words, he suddenly frowned and asked back coldly, looking a little unhappy.
"Hmm?" Li Jiu frowned. He didn't expect the other party to react like this. It was a bit unpleasant as soon as they met.
Did I say something wrong just now and offend this old man?
"If you're talking to me, just call me by my name. I have a name, not Mr. C or Mr. A." The old man's tone was filled with anger.
"This..." Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little speechless. He didn't expect that the old man would be angry just for a name. "Then may I ask, what is your name, sir?"
The mission intelligence only gave the weapons expert's code name and photo, without mentioning his real name, so Li Jiu didn't know how to address the old man.
"My name is Chen Qi, I'm a major and a weapons design engineer. You can just call me Old Chen," the old man said proudly with his hands behind his back.
"Major?" Li Jiu was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually had a military rank, and one level higher than his.
However, the opponent's rank was not displayed on his battle interface. It seemed that the opponent's identity was indeed special.
However, no matter how high the other party's military rank is or if he is not in the same system as himself, he cannot control him.
"Mr. Chen, you already know why I'm here. Please come with me and leave here later." Li Jiu politely saluted the old man and said solemnly.
"Well, I can go." Elder Chen nodded slightly, then glanced at the other people in the room and asked Li Jiu with a sullen face, "But what about these people? Has the alliance arranged for them to evacuate?"
Li Jiu frowned. The others were not the targets of this mission.
Besides, it would be extremely difficult for him and his teammates to rescue the old man alone, and they didn't know whether they could succeed, so they had no ability to care about the lives of others.
"Sorry, I am only responsible for your safety. Others are not within the scope of our mission this time." Li Jiu told the truth.
Hearing Li Jiu's answer, the other people at the scene couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts and their faces became solemn.
Obviously, Li Jiu has made his attitude clear and will not be responsible for their life or death.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry..." Omo pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "We still have many brothers, and we have weapons in our hands. As long as you can evacuate safely, we can also find a way to leave here. After all, protecting your safety is our top priority now."
Old Chen frowned and stared at Li Jiu. After hearing what Omo said, he glanced at him and lowered his head to think.
"Well, these soldiers still have some ability to protect themselves, so I can ignore them." After thinking for a moment, Chen Lao said to Li Jiu with a serious face, and then glanced at the young man following behind him, "But what are you going to do with me, your assistant?"
"Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about me..." The young man, who had been smiling all the time, frowned.
"You don't have to say anything." Old Chen interrupted the words to stop, still looking at Li Jiu and said: "He is also an expert in weapons, and in some areas, he is more proficient than me. I can't do without him in my future research, so he must evacuate with me."
"This..." Li Jiu looked at the young man and felt a little embarrassed.
It’s not that I don’t want to rescue more people, but with the strength of myself and my teammates, we can only take one person away at most. Even if there is one more person, the danger level of this mission will increase exponentially!
Now, I can only be responsible for the safety of my team members and Mr. Chen. As for other people... I can only say that I can't help them!
But then again, if the young man is a warrior and has a certain degree of self-defense ability, then as long as he is obedient, I might consider taking him with me to evacuate.
However, this young man, like Old Chen, is just a scientific researcher. His combat capability is definitely far inferior to that of a soldier. If he is brought along, the team members will inevitably have to divert their attention to take care of him, which is simply a burden.
"Mr. Chen... I'm sorry. As I said before, I can only be responsible for your safety. As for your assistant, he can leave with Lieutenant Omo and the others." Li Jiu withdrew his gaze from the young man and looked at Mr. Chen, saying expressionlessly, "To be honest, the number of people I brought is not as many as Lieutenant Omo and the others. Your assistant may be safer if he follows them."
"No! He must go with me!" Seeing Li Jiu's refusal, Chen Lao's eyes suddenly became stern, and he shouted firmly: "Humph, do you think I am old and blind?"
"Mr. Chen...what do you mean?" Li Jiu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"What do you mean? Do you think I don't know that you are holding an elite weapon?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Old Chen's mouth, and he said meaningfully: "Boy, I can tell you clearly that the elite weapon in your hand was designed by me, an old man!"
"Only the most outstanding mercenaries are qualified to possess the elite weapons I designed." Elder Chen continued, with a proud look on his face. "Although I don't know how many people you brought with you, since you have elite weapons in your hands, it means that the mercenaries you brought are all elite warriors. Your strength is definitely not comparable to that of Omo and the others."
As he spoke, Old Chen looked at Omo and the others again: "Omo and the others are not bad, but facing those powerful enemies outside, it is not certain whether they can protect themselves, let alone protect others. If you let my assistant follow them , it will only add burden to them and implicate them. Only if my assistant and I go with you, I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I will not cooperate!"
