Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 718 Return to Base
In the alliance's territory, the transport plane flew without any worries and returned to Shoushan City at the fastest speed in more than two hours.
Li Jiu and his team did not return directly to the Night Rose Mercenary Group, but flew to the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group first. Li Jiu, Zhao Wu and others got off the plane, and then the transport plane sent Scar Brother and his team back to the Night Rose Mercenary Group.
In the main building of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group's base, Li Jiu walked in with Gordon, Zhao Wu and others, accompanied by the Doug brothers and Clouded Leopard.
"Brother Jiu, who are these friends?" After everyone sat down, Doug looked at Zhao Wu and the others, then looked at Li Jiu and asked. At the same time, Quinn and Yunbao also looked at these strangers in military uniforms with curiosity.
"They were originally soldiers of the alliance, but now they have joined our Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group. From now on, we are all family members." Li Jiu said with a calm smile.
"Soldier?" After hearing Li Jiu's answer, Doug and the other two were slightly surprised, and they looked at Zhao Wu and others carefully.
This time when Brother Nine went out on a mission, he actually brought back a few soldiers, and they are also going to join the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group. This... anyone with a discerning eye would know that there might be something wrong.
Because if retired soldiers came to join the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group under normal circumstances, it would not be strange, after all, those were already retired soldiers. But looking at the appearance of Zhao Wu and others, it was obvious that they had just experienced a battle, and their identity was undoubtedly active military personnel!
Recruiting active military personnel into the mercenary group? This is definitely against the rules of the alliance!
What's more, what shocked Doug and the other two was that, according to the results displayed on the God of War system, Zhao Wu's military rank had actually reached the same level of lieutenant colonel as his ninth brother, making him a dignified fourth-level soldier. At the same time, the other seven soldiers were not ordinary soldiers either, but at least lieutenant-level officers.
"Hello, my name is Zhao Wu, and these are my brothers." Facing the curious gazes of Doug and the other two, Zhao Wu just smiled and greeted them.
"Haha, hello, welcome to join Lei Bao! I'm Doug, the acting leader of the Lei Bao Mercenary Group." Doug's temperament was indeed calmer. He first put away his curiosity and responded with a very friendly smile.
No matter what the origins of these people are, since Brother Jiu has already asked to accept them, Doug will naturally not have any objection. After all, he is only managing the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group for Li Jiu, and Li Jiu, as the real leader, naturally has the final say.
“Welcome!” “Welcome!”
Then, Quinn and Clouded Leopard smiled and said.
"Doug, they have some identity issues just like you, and they need to apply for new identity information..." After seeing that Doug and the others knew , Li Jiu continued, "So, their origins must be kept secret, and no one can know their previous identities. Do you understand?"
"Brother Jiu, don't worry, I know what to do." Hearing this, Doug was stunned for a moment , then smiled knowingly and nodded. It turned out that these buddies were the same as him.
At this time, Quill and Yunbao looked at Zhao Wu and others with a look of sudden enlightenment in their eyes, and they couldn't help but smile at each other. It turned out that they were all on the same path.
"It's too late today and everyone is tired. Doug, the three of you go and arrange accommodation for brother Zhao Wu and the others first. We can talk about other things tomorrow." Li Jiu nodded and continued.
"Okay, Brother Nine." Doug responded immediately, and then looked at Zhao Wu and others with a smile, "Brothers, come with me. There are many dormitories in the base, and they are all newly built."
"Well, okay." Zhao Wu and the seven soldiers stood up at the same time, then looked at Li Jiu and said sincerely: "Brother Li Jiu, we are grateful for your kindness. If there are any tasks in the future, we are willing to take the lead!"
At the same time, the soldiers looked at Li Jiu with gratitude.
You know, this biological invasion in the eastern province has destroyed their hometown, and escaping from Wanghai City has made them bear the crime of desertion. If it weren't for Li Jiu, they would have been homeless in the alliance, and they would have to worry about being discovered and sent to a military court for trial.
However, now, Li Jiu not only gave them a place to stand and allowed them to join the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, but also paid them wages based on their current military ranks. This was simply a life-saving favor. How could they not be grateful?
"Brother Zhao Wu, since we have joined the Thunder Leopards, we are all family now. Please stop being polite in the future." Li Jiu also stood up, shook his head and smiled indifferently, "You must be very tired today, go and rest first. By the way, if anyone is injured, let Doug take them to the medical building for treatment."
"Brother Jiu, you don't have to worry about these." Doug smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Wu and the others, and said enthusiastically: "Although our mercenary group has just been established, the various infrastructures in the base are very complete. If any brother needs anything, just ask."
"Okay, we are indeed tired, so let's go down and rest first. Goodbye, Brother Li Jiu." Zhao Wu nodded, then took the soldiers and left with Doug and the others.
After Doug and the others left, Li Jiu looked at Gordon beside him and said with a smile: "Gordon, thank you for coming back to the town to rescue us this time. If you hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid Zhao Wu and I might still be trapped there."
Li Jiu was very satisfied with Gordon's performance in this mission and was also very grateful to him.
Logically speaking, although Gordon was a mercenary under his command, he had no obligation to return to the town alone to rescue him in such a dangerous situation.
After all, the alliance's mercenary group is like a company, and the relationship between mercenaries and their leaders is actually like that between employees and their bosses. To put it bluntly, the two parties are just trading for interests, and no one has to risk their lives for anyone else!
Of course, if they were like Li Jiu and the members of the fifth team who often fought together through life and death, they would naturally trust each other with their lives. If they could save Li Jiu at the risk of their lives, Scar Brother and the others would naturally go back to save Li Jiu regardless of everything. However, given the situation at the time, even if they went back, they would not be able to help Li Jiu at all. They would also lose their lives in vain.
Gordon had just woken up from the virtual world not long ago, and it was his first time to go out on a mission. It was impossible for him to have any deep feelings for himself, so it was not reasonable for him to return to the town alone to rescue himself.
But in the end, Gordon ignored the dissuasion of his team members and returned to the town to rescue himself, which made Li Jiu admire his loyalty to his duty.
