Zhao Yu nodded to himself, agreeing with Eagle’s assessment. Those teams that served the big shots were hired specifically to search for something.

“How many people do you have, and what are your capabilities?!”

Following Eagle’s advice, he directly inquired about the price.

“One third-level enhancer, two second-level enhancers, and four first-level enhancers. We often search in the old city and are very familiar with it… What do you think?”

“Not bad, how much is the price?!” Zhao Yu continued to ask.

“How many people are you planning to bring? Just the six of you, or are there others?” Instead of quoting a price, the burly man inquired about Zhao Yu’s situation.

Zhao Yu’s mission was to eliminate several hundred mutants in a certain area of the West Third Ring. A small number of people would definitely not suffice, so he had to take everyone with him.

“A total of 21 people, is that okay?”

“THAT many?!” The burly man was somehow astonished.

This was his first encounter with so many people entering the old city.

“Is that a problem?”

“Uh, I can’t decide on my own, come with me and let’s see what our team leader says…” The burly man scratched his head and pointed to a teahouse at the edge of the trading market.

“Okay!”

The burly man put away his sign and led Zhao Yu to the nearby teahouse, directly up to a private room on the second floor.

Several people were gathered inside the room and playing a card game.

As burly man leading a stranger in, they immediately put down their cards.

“Did you find a financier so quickly?!” The speaker was a woman in her twenties, quite attractive.

“Captain, they want to bring 21 people into the city!” The burly man walked straight to the woman and spoke.

Another third-level woman!

Zhao Yu had only seen two third-level enhancers before, and both were women.

“Bringing 21 people into the city?!” Everyone was shocked to hear it.

The woman known as the captain stood up and extended her hand, “I’m Luo Bing, captain of the Bing Qing Battle Team. What’s your name?”

“Zhao Yu!” after shook her hand briefly, Zhao Yu noted the coolness of her touch.

“Mr. Zhao…” Luo Bing was about to speak when she suddenly noticed the military rank on Zhao Yu’s shoulder, “Are you a commander?”

“Yes!” Zhao Yu didn’t deny it. Being new here, this identity could add some security.

“May I know which side you’re affiliated with?” Luo Bing asked cautiously.

Although they were a well-known battle team in Peace Town, they were insignificant compared to a Military Governor ranked of commander.

“I prefer not to disclose that!” Zhao Yu said indifferently.

This drew some dissatisfaction from the others and they expressed it on the spot.

“You know you can’t use guns in the old city, right? You can get in, but not out.” Luo Bing nodded as understanding.

She thought about it and realized she didn’t need to fear this commander. Whether real or fake, they were only going to cooperate once.

Even if they couldn’t agree, there wouldn’t be any cooperation.

“I know!”

Zhao Yu coughed.

Several hundred mutants couldn’t be dealt with by assassination alone, so Zhao Yu knew he inevitably had to resort to using firearms.

The only thing to do was to safely reach the destination, eliminate the target, and then retreat.

“Hmm, 21 people is a bit too many. I’m curious about what you plan to do…”

“Sorry, it involves privacy. I can’t disclose it!”

Luo Bing’s expression turned a bit grim. Going in without knowing the employer’s purpose seemed inappropriate.

However, she didn’t rush to refuse. After all, Zhao Yu was a Military Governor and likely not short of money.

“Can I at least know what your requirements are?”

“Just safely get us to our destination…”

“One-way?”

Luo Bing was somewhat surprised. “You mean, we just need to get you there, and don’t have to bring you back out?!”

“That’s right!”

Smiles appeared on the faces of those present.

The most troublesome task was a round trip, especially bringing 21 people out intact. They didn’t want to take on such a risky job.

But now, bringing 21 people in was much simpler.

“Don’t you need our help to find something?” Luo Bing asked tentatively.

“No need!”

Zhao Yu smiled slightly. He had already gained an initial understanding of the hiring hub during his previous round of inquiries. He planned to directly hire cheaper teams to help him search for fireworks and firecrackers.

After all, these were finished products made by adding a large amount of magnesium and aluminum powder to a small amount of black powder for color and volume. Unless someone with the expertise could separate and purify these chemical components, they were not very useful.

On the other hand, forces capable of manufacturing ammunition would not bother to decompose and purify fireworks and firecrackers. It was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

Therefore, Zhao Yu believed that aside from the initial attempts at the start of the apocalypse to use fireworks as explosives, people now hardly wasted time on this.

Because many realized that apart from being used for display, these items had no other purpose.

“The difficulty of taking all 21 of you into the city is high, and we have to assume a lot of risk…”

Zhao Yu interrupted Luo Bing and said directly, “Name your price!”

Swift and decisive, indeed the style of the military!

“Ten rifles, what do you think…”

“Deal!”

Zhao Yu agreed immediately.

This left everyone momentarily stunned.

They had never encountered such straightforward business. Truly befitting a commander of a major force, wealthy and bold!

However, Luo Bing was cautious and added, “80% of the rifles must be new. You know, with guns, the older they are, the more likely they are to malfunction and the harder to sell…”

“No problem!” Zhao Yu smiled lightly.

The weapons he brought on this trip were nearly brand new.

“Good, according to the rules, you pay half upfront…”

Luo Bing quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding, “Once the deposit is paid, we can set off right away!”
