Chapter 11

"Sure, I have a video of those five people." Wang Damao immediately took out a storage card and said.

Before returning, he first went to see Black Rat, who was a well-known hacker in the lower area.

After paying a certain price, Wang Damao had Black Rat retrieve footage from the street cameras, and thus obtained the images of Liu Miaomiao and the others.

Hu Feifu tapped the computer on his right wrist, and a beam of light fell on the storage card, quickly reading the data inside.

Opening the holographic image on the wrist computer, a video was soon projected.

This was footage of Liu Miaomiao and the others just entering the shelter, following the main group to their living quarters, and passing through the main road.

In the video, the women either looked around in amazement or played and laughed, their every smile and frown exuding charm.

Just a glance at the holographic projection made Hu Feifu's eyes light up, especially when he saw Liu Miaomiao and Wang Yao. His gaze lingered for a while, his eyes flickering as if he was planning something.

"What's the name of that 'White Pig'? Which mercenary group is he in, and what's his strength? Have you investigated all of this?" After a long pause, Hu Feifu asked.

The fact that he asked such a question clearly showed that he was already considering something.

"His name is Lin Xinghai. He was recruited by the Sky Splitter Mercenary Group when he returned. His genetic optimization level is probably around 25%." Wang Damao quickly replied, even describing every detail of his fight with Lin Xinghai.

After listening, Hu Feifu tapped his fingers lightly on the chair for a full minute before saying, "Pass my order to the Four Great Warriors to come see me tonight."

"Sure." Wang Damao nodded hurriedly, but after a slight hesitation, he added, "Boss, should we not inform the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group?"

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Hu Feifu said coldly.

"N-no, I dare not. I'll go inform them right away." Wang Damao bowed repeatedly and hurriedly left the room.

After the door closed, Hu Feifu fell into deep thought again. He did not intend to hand Liu Miaomiao and the others over to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.

Although doing so might please some of the higher-ups in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, the actual benefits would be minimal.

After all, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was only a second-tier mercenary group. While they might wield considerable influence in the lower area, they were quite ordinary in the entire Star Shield Shelter.

So over the years, he had always been looking for another way out. After years of effort, he finally had a way to contact the true big shots in the shelter.

But this was just contact.

If he really wanted to please those big shots, or even get their support, it would not be an easy task.

The appearance of Liu Miaomiao and the others was an opportunity for him. If he used it well, he might truly leap from a fish to a dragon.

Of course, he would still need to inform the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, but in a different way.

Lin Xinghai had prevented them from collecting protection fees, causing losses to both the Axe Gang and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. However, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group's losses were even greater, as they had to hand over 70% of their total income to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group every month.

Blocking someone's income is like killing their parents.

This reason alone was enough to make the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group take action.

At that time, he would capture the five women and present them to the big shots in the shelter, letting the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group bear the wrath of the Sky Splitter Mercenary Group.

That would be perfect!

Of course, doing this also carried significant risks. If the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group found out the truth, his fate would be predictable.

But fortune comes with risk, and Hu Feifu's eyes became increasingly determined.

...

Lin Xinghai, of course, had no idea that a conspiracy was brewing against him.

He spent the entire afternoon wandering around the lower area, feeling like a country bumpkin in the city, finding everything so novel.

For example, the logistics drone that followed him overhead.

He had ordered six high-grade nutrition meals and chosen the on-site preparation service, so the drone followed him.

Yes, this thing could act as a cooking robot, and the iron box hanging below it contained fresh ingredients and utensils.

According to the server's introduction, after the meal, it would clean up everything before leaving.

The service was excellent, but such a meal was not cheap.

Before it got completely dark, he returned to Room 301 in a good mood.

Of course, in the shelter, the so-called "darkness" was simulated by the central control lights.

When he opened the door, Liu Miaomiao and the others were already back, but their faces were full of worry.

"Hey! What's this? Let me guess, it's a cooking robot, right?" Seeing Lin Xinghai bring in the logistics drone, Liu Miaomiao immediately put aside her worries and asked curiously.

"Yep! I'm treating you to a big meal tonight!" Lin Xinghai said with a smile.

The logistics drone flew into the dormitory, retracted its rotors, extended its limbs, and quickly transformed into a humanoid robot.

Then, it opened the large iron box, took out the ingredients and tools, and started cooking.

During the time before the meal, Lin Xinghai also asked about their job search.

As he had expected, none of them had much success. Not only were the official institutions in the shelter hard to get into, but even the units that cooperated with the official institutions were highly sought after.

Without connections or relationships, it was impossible to get these jobs.

This made Lin Xinghai somewhat silent, but he had no immediate solution.

Fortunately, Liu Miaomiao and the others knew how to lighten the mood, and soon the conversation shifted to some interesting things they had seen in the shelter, and everyone chatted happily.

Twenty minutes later, six steaming hot high-grade nutrition meals were ready. Lin Xinghai took a bite and couldn't help but marvel at how technology had changed life.

The food made by this robot was almost as good as what he had eaten in five-star hotels in his previous life.

After dinner, the women regained their enthusiasm and started discussing where to look for jobs the next day. Lin Xinghai chatted with them intermittently.

Time quickly passed, and it was already 8 PM when Room 301 welcomed its first guest.

"Captain Roger, is there a new mission for the mercenary group?" Seeing Roger enter, Lin Xinghai's eyes immediately lit up.

What he was most looking forward to now was gathering 100 points of blood energy to awaken his ability.

"Haha, you guessed right. I've never seen a new recruit as eager to go on a mission as you." Roger couldn't help but laugh.

Many mercenary missions had a certain level of confidentiality, so it wasn't appropriate to discuss them in the dormitory.

The two left their residence and went to a self-service coffee shop, where they got a private room.

After the delivery robot brought them two cups of coffee, Roger opened the scanning function on his wrist computer, confirmed that there were no eavesdropping devices in the room, and then said, "This mission is very important and very dangerous. Although the reward is high, from a personal standpoint, I don't want you to participate."

The first thing Roger said surprised Lin Xinghai greatly.
