Chapter 1930 Zombie World Raid Instance -Part 2
"Nice to meet you," Yinn said as she raised her hands for a handshake from Xiong Da. When Yue Han and Bu Dong saw the team in the first place, they did not know how to react.
Beauties of their own right as Bu Dong and Yue Han got embarrassed when they saw them. Xiong Da laughed as he believed that they were thinking they might have a chance to woo after them.
"Guys, focus. This is a raid. Stop ogling the ladies with your lecherous eyes" Xiong Da said which enabled Yinn and her team to verify the signals and confirm how Bu Dong and Yue Han were feeling. From elevated heart rate and apparent blushing, the Grey Bears understood that the guys were infatuated with them.
"Just a word of advice, don't bother," Yinn told them straight in the face but they averted their eyes away from the Grey Bears. Ladies in combat gear and they were not wearing it for cosmetic purposes. Even though they were not in the army or had done their roulette conscription services, both Bu Dong and Yue Han had some basic knowledge based on the shooting games that they played previously.
From the guns they used to the placement of the ammunition and pouches, they all were about practicality. It looked like there was nothing that the Grey Bears had on them that was excessive. Bu Dong had no idea where they came from as their ethnicity seemed to be mixed but one thing was sure. The vibes that they released seemed deadly.
Even if they did not have much chi as a seasoned cultivator who had been through much of Jin's dungeons, going through some life and death situations even though they were 'simulated', Bu Dong and Yue Han could sense they were more than just seasoned operators.
Xiong Da did not only manage to get a hold on seasoned operators but deadly ones too which would definitely help with the raid. "Could you introduce your team of operators to me?" Xiong Da asked as he needed a quick understanding of their level of competency.
"Name's Yinn, specialised in stealth and warfare management."
"That means you are the leader of the group." Yue Han interrupted and Yinn gave a quiet death stare to indicate to him that it was rude to break her introduction. But eventually, she let go of the stare and added to his comment.
"That's right, I am the leader of this Grey Bear Squad," Yinn said it with a small pause of hesitation as the entire group knew that the real leader was Jin. However, in this scenario where they were hired as a mercenary team, they had to be obliged to the situation that Jin had created.
"If you allow me to, I can lead the group and subsequently the area we were traversing as we had been tasked by Dungeon Supplier Jin to scout a little in advance to provide better support and experience for the cultivators we were protecting.
"Hmm.. I don't think protect isn't the correct word to use. Not to brag but we are all capable of protecting ourselves." Bu Dong said and Yinn bowed a little as an apology.
"Sorry, I should have used the term providing assistance."
"No worries about it." Bu Dong unknowingly blushed.
"The one beside me is Tellie. She is our Second. If I am incapacitated, the leadership goes to her. " Yinn introduced them to Tellie, who gave a quick nod rather than a salute that the peeps were expecting. "She specialised in long range engagement and had multiple spectacular confirmed kills."
"Do not listen to Yinn. I was just doing my job to execute those kills." Tellie replied and Yinn proceeded to the next member for introduction.
"Diaz, handles all types of weapons and is our main assault team member."
"Would have preferred a title but being called as the squad's main assault go to person is okay too," Diaz replied as she gave a short wave to the Pandawans.
"Page, our Combat Medic. I do not need to say much about her since her role is explanatory. Her close combat skills are top notch if I were to add. Otherwise, she had seen enough combat and life saving scenarios to make her a tough nut."
"Nice to meet you." Page nodded her head and gave a short smile.
"The last person to introduce is Click, our combat engineer and explosive specialist. She has quite a few...pretty unique drones stashed in her storage ring so do not be alarmed when you suddenly see more bullets flying over your head." Yinn replied.
"The first three drones are free of charge. Subsequent drones would be chargeable as extra expenses at the end of the raid. Discount applicable to the next seven drones. After the tenth drone, it would be twice the price."
"Wow, why is it so expensive? Isn't it that the more you use, the cheaper it should be?"
"There are other customers that are on the waitlist to hire us. Lack of drones for their use would also mean a lack of firepower. The need to replenish the drones needed to be factored in. Such as a faster lead time to manufacture those drones." Click lied. She lied so hard that the Pandawans took it at face value because it made sense.
"What are the kind of drones that we have? Or is it pick and choose?" Xiong Da asked and Click took out a foldable tablet and showed it to them. There was a variation of drones, consisting of stationary ones that used turret forms to floatatable drones that provided assistance on the fly. What Xiong Da found interesting was the seeking ball drone. The preview video that Click had filmed previously showed how the seeking ball drone could automatically roll and find its target.
It was at that time that they were previewing the selection that made Bu Dong worried. "Hey, are we wasting too much time?selecting this?"
"The fees only start rolling when we are in the field. Please take your time to select your drones if you need to." Yinn said and Bu Dong was quick to breathe a sigh of relief. Xiong Da on the other hand put his hand on Bu Dong's shoulder and told him to relax.
"Dude, this is not the first time you are with me. Take it easy man. You know you do not have to worry about money when I'm here."
"Lol, I still feel bad at times to take advantage of your generosity." Bu Dong replied.
"But you know, I was expecting the assisting teammates to be cultivators and not mercenaries." Yue Han commented.
"Yeah, I honestly did not expect that as well. When I first saw the NPC Adventurer System that Jin had shown to the rest of the Pandarens, I thought we might be getting some high level wizard or expert swordsman." Xiong Da added.
"If you are unsatisfactory with our mercenary services, it is not too late to back out. This is after all an introduction and no services have been rendered yet."
"Nah, I will take you ladies. To have soldiers watching our backs is far more effective. I mean we are the frontliners since we have better sword skills. But with you all, we know that quick response force would be more suitable in a mass zombie situation." Bu Dong said.
"Thank you for putting in some degree of confidence in us," Yinn said and subsequently asked them to choose their drones or whether there were any more loadouts they were interested in. That was where the list of loadouts that each and every Grey Bear squad member had was put into much detail down to the type of accessories they were using.
While this kind of customisation was welcomed, they did not know a single thing about military loadouts. Even Bu Dong and Yue Han who had played so many realistic military games was unable to comment on it. They could only thank them for showing what they have and hoped the situations were not drastic for them to be missing of any loadout.
"At most we can buy from the impromptu online store. That is available correct? I been in too much of the Dark Days Dungeon Instance that I sometimes forget about the functions." Bu Dong said.
"Yeah, it should be working, the Pandamonium App Page on the Zombie World Instance stated that the Popup Store Function is available. But why the hell are you in the Dark Days Dungeon. I thought you completed that already?" Yue Han asked.
"I was trying out different grade 1 techniques and also to brush up my foundations. As the pattern is the same through out like a video game, using different technqiues made it so much harder and I had a better appreciation and understanding of my grade 1 techniques. its really a rather decent handicap and training simulator." Bu Dong replied.
"Boss Jin said that the second iteration of Dark Days Dungeon is coming soon. Should be after the hype of Zombie World Instance goes down." Xiong Da said and Bu Dong had glittering stars in his eyes.
"Damn, now I am hyped up. There is going to be a rematch against that Goblin Knight. But I wonder if it is the second portion or in later parts."?Bu Dong mumbled to himself and the other two shook their heads consecutively.
"Haha, you are truly a battle maniac." Yue Han replied as they finalised the drones they wanted to use and started to move out to the subway platform.
