Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 272

272. Chapter 271, Demon Hunter of Blackbird City

Chapter 271,

Elan Bird, the demon hunter of Blackbird City, looked up at the dark building in the rain in front of him, and after a careful look, he saw a small sickle symbol.

This made him feel a little relieved.

He pulled down his hood to block the rain and walked under the eaves.

On the side, he found a small door and knocked six times in a special rhythm.

The door opened a little, revealing an orange light.

A child who looked only five or six years old timidly poked his head out. One of his eyes was normal, but the other had a big hole dug out from the eye socket, and a mechanical prosthetic eye was embedded in it.

The child looked up at the strange face under Bird’s hood, alert that it was not a familiar person, and hurriedly wanted to close the door, but Bird raised his hand to hold it.

How could a five or six-year-old child have the strength to compare with an adult?

Bird just exerted a little force, and the door was pushed open a gap large enough for him to pass through.

He quickly slipped in and closed the door.

The child fell to the ground, looking at him with fear, and opened his mouth to scream, but Bird quickly leaned over and covered his mouth.

“Shh…” Covering the child’s mouth, Bird made a gesture to silence him, but he only heard the click of a gun being loaded behind him.

“Let him go!”

Bird stopped moving his hands.

The child broke free and crawled behind the intruder with his hands and feet, hiding behind him, only showing his head, looking at him in fear.

Elan Bird raised his hands and said, “Calm down! Calm down! It’s me!”

“Bird?” The man behind him seemed to have recognized his voice, but he didn’t dare to confirm it.

“It’s me, Tim, don’t get excited.” Elan Bird said as he turned around.

He thought he would see a handsome face.

Tim Vent was the most handsome one in their demon hunter team. When they took it together, they often teased him that he looked too conspicuous and was not suitable to be a spy in the demon hunter team.

However, when he turned around and really saw the face of his comrade, he was shocked.

The handsome young man’s face was gone, leaving only a face covered with scars. From those scars, Bird could vaguely distinguish the appearance of Tim Vent in his memory.

“What happened to you?”

Tim Vent slowly put down the gun in his hand and sighed: “Bird, you shouldn’t have come.”

“How could I not come? The five of you entered Blackbird City, and then for more than a month, no news came out. We had agreed to exchange intelligence every week, but we waited for a long time at the intelligence point outside, and didn’t wait for your news. Instead, we attracted the guards of Blackbird Heavy Industry and almost exposed…”

“It’s not that we don’t want to pass on intelligence…” Vent said halfway and stopped again.

He first bent down and said something to the child hiding behind him, let the child leave, and then said to Bird: “Let’s go, take a rest in the back, drink a cup of hot water, and then we can talk in detail.”

…

Elan Bird and Tim Winter, both of them are members of the Alliance Demon Hunter Organization, and can be regarded as the first batch of members.

When the Demon Hunters were first established, they recruited two teams, one to go south to fight corruption, and the other was the team they were in.

They set out with the caravan, heading west, and now stayed in several oasis settlements in the Western Desert for some time, collecting some intelligence, and then continued westward to the west of the continent.

Their ultimate goal is to collect intelligence about Blackbird Heavy Industry here on the west side of the continent, so as to make efforts for the Alliance to recover the last piece of land on this planet.

Now, the only enemy left for the Alliance on the Angry Owl Star is Blackbird Heavy Industry.

There is almost no need to pay much attention to the many desert oases in the Western Desert and the settlements built around the pre-war planting factories. They have neither a unified organization nor a strong enough military force. After the bumper harvest in the Qinggu area, even the important strategic resources they originally regarded as food are no longer important to the Alliance.

The only obstacle to recovering the Western Desert is the complicated relationship between them and Blackbird Heavy Industry.

When they arrived at the west of the continent, in the area actually controlled by Blackbird Heavy Industry, they saw a completely different landscape from what they had imagined.

The natural environment here is still very bad, and people’s lives are still quite difficult. It is not much better than the many settlements before the liberation of the Alliance, and it is not even comparable to the current living standards of the Alliance with an average of E5 or above.

However, the difference between the settlements before the liberation of the Alliance is that the west of the continent has a complete and unified governance.

According to their life and exploration in this land for almost a year, they feel that the Blackbird Group is a big company – of course, they are originally – and the 15 million people living here are all employees of this company.

There is a strict relationship between the upper and lower levels, there are task indicators broken down to each person, there is an organizational structure divided into departments, and there is a clear management hierarchy…

From the headquarters of Blackbird Heavy Industry, Blackbird City, an order can really be passed down layer by layer to a specific person.

Blackbird Heavy Industry will issue its own internal currency as a salary, which is distributed to everyone: there is no basic salary, only commissions based on workload and work performance.

Similarly, they will also open supply stations in various places. Residents can use their wages to buy what they need for their lives…

This social form has brought a lot of trouble to the demon hunters like Bird who have just entered this place in the process of collecting intelligence.

They are new faces. In this huge “company”, there is less contact between departments, and they are relatively familiar faces in communication and contact with each other.

At the beginning, they made a lot of troubles, exposed their identities, and were hunted down.

But gradually, they quickly found some tricks.

In the large company of Blackbird Heavy Industry, there are many common problems in large organizations: too many people, the difficulty of organization increases, and it is difficult for everyone to know each other.

They rely more on identity plates and codes to identify each other.

Ambush, capture, interrogation, torture… They got a lot of intelligence, and gradually learned how to disguise themselves, and began to be like a fish in water.

And soon, they were no longer satisfied with just collecting intelligence on the periphery. Their eyes began to focus on the headquarters of Blackbird Heavy Industry-Blackbird City.

However, there is another world there.

Mysterious and closed, they couldn’t even find a way in, as if the entire huge city with an estimated population of 7 million people didn’t need to communicate with the inside and outside.
