Unlike ordinary mercenaries, both hero-level npcs and special npcs that can be hired have uncertainty.

These guys have different personalities and different abilities. They are not as good as ordinary mercenaries as they can call them and whirl away, and even have to meet certain conditions to satisfy them.

If used well, these NPCs can be transformed into weapons of mass destruction like Crazy Evan, causing incredible damage!

But if it is not used well, it will anger such NPCs...

Recalling the player who "deathed suicide" before, Lin Chi smiled, called out the seven elite mercenaries under his command, and rushed towards the location of the player who had just sent mercenaries to surround the apartment building.

After the gorgeous explosion, the battle situation had undergone a complete reversal, and the red dot on the map began to retreat quickly, obviously being running away.

"Kill him."

With Lin Chi's order, seven mercenaries walked through the burning street and rushed across the corner quickly. After a few seconds, one mercenary came back to report the situation:

"Chief, he hid in the sewer. Do we need to go down and chase him?"

Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his head: "No need, someone will help us deal with him..."

Before he could finish his words, a light machine gun fire sounded from the ground and kept echoing in the sewer.

Then, another kill prompt pops up:

The player "pangolin" was killed by NPC!

"It's true." Lin Chi laughed.

He knew that the two fearless warriors who helped him get rid of the runaway were the two fearless warriors who had fallen into the sewer before: after all, it was not easy to climb out of the sewer while wearing that kind of armor.

Looking back at the remains of the burning apartment building, Lin Chi noticed that the red dots that were originally approaching on the minimap were also evacuated within 500 meters. It seemed that the big explosion just now also played a role in deterring other players.

When no one dared to get close, he was happy to be leisurely. He sat comfortably on the bench on the street and did not join the battles of other players.

However, there are some things that Lin Chi cares more:

——Where did that guy go?

During this full-band scan, the player he paid the most attention to - "Frankenstein" wearing optical camouflage, did not receive any kills, nor was he killed by other players.

Frankenstein did not seem to participate in this full-band scan, and it was probably planning something. Moreover, Lin Chi cared very much about the guy's equipment.

So far, most of the equipment that appeared in this city has the technological level of the early 21st century. Only the "bomb tire" of the Crazy Rat seems a bit sci-fi, but to put it bluntly, it is just a large remote-controlled bomb.

However, the optical camouflage on "Frankenstein" has completely surpassed the scientific scope of other equipment. Not to mention the era in which the City of Chaos is located, even in the real world 2035, the equipment of optical camouflage is still in the experimental period and has not been put into mass production.

So, where did this player get the optical camouflage?

While thinking, Lin Chi noticed a red dot rushing towards this block, so he stood up and rubbed his hands, and smiled at the elite mercenaries who had just arrived back:

"It's time to work, guys."

...

When the second full-band scan ended, Lin Chi's kills reached eight people, which had exceeded the number of kills required by the winning conditions "Murder".

As all the red dots on the map disappeared, players began to retreat from the North City area, and the battle situation statistics also popped up:

"The second full-band scan has ended, the number of deaths: 17. I wish you a happy game."

Although the number of deaths this time is slightly less than during the first scan, including the players who died elsewhere, the number of players left in this game is less than fifty.

"We're going to win!" Crazy Evan waved his arm happily.

"Not yet." Lin Chi replied casually, leading the blasting expert to walk through the particularly desolate street.

After two scans, the game has entered the mid-stage, and the remaining players are also powerful players. Those newbies, cheaters, and all kinds of fancy players have basically been eliminated.

Therefore, the next battle should be more difficult than before.

Before the third scan begins, we still need to continue to develop our power.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi first brought Crazy Evan back to the safe house, allowing the guy who had just created a big explosion and was still satisfied to stay and see his home. Then he returned to the street and found the store that Greke said before, which could be renovated for the safe house.

When I walked into the store, I saw a tall and strong man studying the complex drawings on the table. Seeing a guest coming, the man came forward enthusiastically and asked, "I am the engineer here. Do you need decoration?"

"Yes." Lin Chi nodded: "What are the plans?"

"There are two solutions." The engineer took Lin Chi to the workbench.

Lin Chi originally thought that the so-called two solutions should be just changes in the interior styles of "European" and "Chinese". When he saw the drawings on the workbench, he opened his eyes a little because of surprise.

"Okay, I'll read the tutorial before entering the game next time." He sighed.

——If it weren’t for being too lazy and not reading the tutorial, Lin Chi would come to decorate it immediately when he bought the safe house.

Because this so-called decoration is not simply repairing the interior of the house, but completely transforming the safe house into other buildings!

The two decoration plans that appeared in his sight were "barracks" and "workshops":

As the name suggests, the barracks plan is to transform the safe house into a barracks that can accommodate a large number of soldiers, suitable for players who like "violent soldiers".

Soldiers stationed in the barracks will receive a combat power bonus. The hero level and special NPCs inside will also increase satisfaction. Players who have built the barracks will also obtain a skill called "War Horn" that can improve all their attributes over a period of time.

As for the workshop plan, it is to transform the safe house into a small combat laboratory, suitable for players who like to upgrade the technology tree.

Compared with the barracks, the number of soldiers in the workshop is much smaller. To study technology in the workshop, players must increase their prestige to a certain extent before they can recruit engineers. In addition, research in the workshop also requires a lot of funds and various materials collected in various areas of the map.

"What solution do you need?" the engineer asked.

Hearing this, Lin Chi gave the answer without hesitation:

"Of course it's a workshop, thank you."

At this time, he finally knew how the optical camouflage on "Frankenstein" came from. I guess that guy had already built a workshop and was constantly researching it!

Although the funds required to build a workshop were much more than those of the barracks, and after completion, it was necessary to collect materials and improve prestige, Lin Chi, who was not interested in the tactics of the sea of ​​people, decided to choose the workshop.

"Come and raise the technology tree..." he smiled.
Chapter completed!
