Chapter 148 "Corporate Warrior" (64) Outside the law
Chapter 148 "Corporate Warrior" (64) Lawless Land
The vacation is over, the corporate soldiers on vacation have returned to the base to start training, and everything is back on track.
a week later,
The trump card in the base——
Alpha Tactical Team was assigned to an escort mission, and the mission difficulty rating reached an astonishing S+.
For an ordinary team of corporate warriors, this is definitely a suicide mission. For Marcus Lynch and his elite team, it can only be regarded as an average difficulty.
Through the mission briefing, they learned that they were about to board a small frigate and land on the planet Kurmat in Capricornus 21 together with the scientific research and survey ship "Endeavour" of MacMillan Company.
The mission is to escort the company's team of scientists to perform scientific research and measurement operations, and protect them from attacks by local armed elements.
In addition, he also has to complete a task entrusted by the Terran federal government——
Escort three Red Cross transport ships and protect the relief supplies carried on them to prevent them from being intercepted by interstellar pirates.
Within five hours after the mission was released, all members of the Alpha Tactical Team were assembled, ready to go, and boarded the ship in the evening.
In the living quarters of the frigate, Captain Marcus Lynch sat by the bed and flipped through mission information to learn more;
The planet Kurmat they are about to go to is a barbaric land that is still in a semi-cultivated state.
The Terran federal government does not pay much attention to the development of this area.
The planet lacks mineral deposits and other special products of economic value, and major companies have no interest in investing.
Because of this, the number of pioneers who immigrated here was small. After more than a hundred years of operation and reproduction, the colony only had a permanent population of 300,000.
Due to the lack of garrison troops from the federal government and enterprises, the security here has become a chronic disease that is difficult to cure.
The probability of murders on the planet Kurmat has long been at the top of the list in the star region. Natural disasters are severe, food production and industrial products are difficult to be self-sufficient, and it has long relied on humanitarian aid from the Red Cross.
This situation has lasted for many years, and it is inevitable that the number of immigrants will continue to decline. There is no decent agriculture and industry here, and the financial services industry is extremely backward, so the taxation work will naturally not be smooth.
Judging from the economic analysis chart, the Kurmat star has always been at the bottom of the industry in this sector. Not only has it made no contribution, but it is always clamoring for assistance.
After decades of long-term governance without results, the federal parliament gradually lost patience and finally made up its mind to abandon this mess.
Ten years ago, a large number of transport ships evacuated the planet's governor, garrison troops, civil servants and most powerful departments, along with their relatives.
In order to maintain basic social order, the Federation only provided a small amount of funding and hired some locals as police officers as a token token, leaving the planet to continue to rot.
Over time, the planet Kurmat became a paradise for gangsters and warlords.
Countless interstellar pirates, human traffickers, smugglers, and criminal gangs that manufacture and sell hallucinogens are flocking to this place.
After reading the mission briefing,
Captain Marcus Lynch finally understood why the difficulty rating of this mission was S+.
They are heading to a lawless and desolate land, a paradise for criminals.
There is no need for him to talk nonsense, the members of Alpha Team have also read the mission briefing, and they are consciously concentrating on preparing for the battle.
Fortunately, we were not attacked by interstellar pirates when passing through the asteroid belt. The frigate led the scientific survey ship and three transport ships to successfully reach their destination.
After entering the atmosphere, the sky was still clean and blue.
But when I look down, my eyes are filled with desert dust, desolate and barren.
Worse than expected, the Kurmatt Starport 1 is absolutely terrible,
It doesn't look like a modern interstellar port at all, it looks like a large garbage dump surrounded by broken tires.
There were no limousines or well-dressed military and political officials to greet them.
Only two dusty old pickup trucks were parked there, and three local employees of MacMillan were leaning against the edge of the pickup truck—
These rough men were all wrapped in linen plaid turbans and worn-out slippers. Their faces were tanned and rough, and their robes were stained with sweat. They looked like Ali Baba in "One Thousand and One Nights".
The five local police officers looked similar, with the only difference being that they wore a cowboy hat over their turban, a bullet belt slung across their shoulders, and a long-barreled, rusty antique revolver on their belt.
A group of noisy children picked up stones and threw them at the frigate's titanium alloy shell, making a "bang!" noise.
The vigilantes roughly drove the children away:
"Get out! You little pup! Go and play!"
The children stuck out their tongues at him, spat, and jumped away.
The scientific research and survey ship "Endeavour" has parked and started unloading. The scientists who got off the ship were in disbelief at the dilapidated scene in front of them:
"Oh my God! Could it be that my eyesight is dazzled? Is this a star port? Let children come in and run around?"
"It's okay, we've already driven away the naughty kid." said the Sheriff, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
This man had boogers hanging from his nose hairs, his face was shiny, and he looked carefree.
"What the hell! When we landed just now... I was really scared to death!" The first mate of the scientific research ship cursed: "Where the hell are all the star port staff dead?
Look! There are pits and big rocks on the runway! If it gets crushed, it won’t be a big deal!”
"Don't choose, foreigners, you are lucky!" Another police officer smiled:
"Last time, a ship carrying soybeans hit a mine when it landed, and then BOOM! All 12 crew members went to the west."
"What?" The scientist's eyes widened in shock: "Land... mine? Did I hear that right?"
"You heard it right, buddy." A local employee wearing glasses said: "This ghost place is full of warlords and gangs, fighting all day long, and laying mines at the airport is a routine operation."
"Just be satisfied! Look over there!" Another local employee pointed at the bullet holes in the wall of the terminal building and said:
"There was no warlord fighting or power supply failure. The Kurmat planet is just like this. After staying there for a long time, you got used to it!"
Several scientists looked at each other: "Damn it, I should have bought more insurance before coming back..."
"There's nothing to worry about. The company has sent the strongest team of corporate warriors to escort us."
"Oh! If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about it! Captain Marcus Lynch's Alpha Tactical Team! I need to take a picture quickly!"
"Wo C! The armors of these guys are so... so cool! They look like superheroes in the movie!"
"It looks nice, but it's actually very miserable. It's said that few corporate warriors can retire alive."
"Of course, these grandsons earn money by risking their lives."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! If I hear you, I won't beat you to death!"
"God... he is indeed the 'Beast Lynch'! A muscular beast over two meters tall, and the guy next to him is not short either."
"That's not a 'buddy', he's the female scorer of Alpha Team, a college student who just graduated. It's said that she is a beautiful and sexy lady."
"Well, there are all these old men on the boat and it's suffocating me to death. One day I'll install a small camera in the bathroom to secretly take pictures. It will be a feast for your eyes."
"Haha, forget it! You little pretty scientist, just seek death! Those corporate warriors are a bunch of ferocious beasts! If they are caught, you will be castrated!"
Chapter completed!
