The old man chuckled.
"Okay."
After a simple exchange, Oboro hung up the phone, and immediately filled in the team information, and submitted the application.
Then, he got up, and led the few people away, "Let's go. Let's go directly to the Ochima Federal Republic."
"So amazing..."
Anthony said in surprise.
Ordinary Hunters didn't have Oboro's rights. They had to follow the rules and regulations. The only person in the entire Association who could make decisions in this regard and had special privileges was the Chairman.
Oboro, a member who wasn't even a Star Hunter, had actually gotten the Chairman to nod and agree with just a few words.
It was obvious special treatment...
Menchi wasn't too surprised.
Because Oboro wasn't the only one who enjoyed this kind of privilege.
Several of the Zodiacs had risen to power in this way...
...
On the airship, Oboro received a notification from the Association that the mission had been approved, and they had sent him some information and intelligence.
Oboro looked at the five team members in front of him, and gave an explanation.
"Although our client is a large company in the Ochima Federal Republic, it's just a private relationship with them. We can't put it on the table. In other words, on the surface, we're not hired by any party, and we need to cooperate with them secretly."
Oboro placed a laptop on the table, "This is the company's information, and the situation of their personnel deployment in the ruins. You guys should take a look."
"Huh? Does it have to be so troublesome?" Anthony sighed.
"The ruins have already been designated as a restricted area, and are guarded by their people 24 hours a day... But they were still infiltrated by hostile forces, and battles have occurred. The ruins cover a large area, and there's a list of enemy Nen ability users that have already been recorded. They're all very strong."
After saying this, Oboro looked at Fant, who had been silent and smoking, "For the first mission, I don't want any accidents, so... Your position is very simple, which is to protect these few people. Leave the matter of the enemies to me."
"I don't need protection."
Menchi turned a shiny kitchen knife in her hand, and said calmly.
"Okay..."
Oboro smiled.
"Rita and Gabe Witsch, and Anthony... The three of you are responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence. Provide clues at any time." Oboro continued to arrange.
"Hmm?"
Anthony was stunned, "You mean... You're going to take care of everything, like charging into battle and clearing out the enemies? That'll make us seem useless..."
However, thinking of the captain's strength, Anthony couldn't say anything.
"Your abilities are useful in their own ways. I probably wouldn't be able to complete it alone without your help... Besides ensuring the progress of the mission, I also need to ensure your safety. The first mission is mainly for you to work together, and have an understanding of each other's strength... Later, when you can truly cooperate skillfully and grow up, I won't need to be the one leading the charge." Oboro smiled, "If you carefully study the mission content, you'll find that this involves the national level... And it might be an open mission, which not only is published in the Association, but might also include the mafia, private armed forces, mercenaries, and some assassin families, as well as Hunters trained by the country... They're all the elite of the elite."
Oboro analyzed, "Given the fourth rule of the Hunter Ten Provisions, 'Hunters must not regard fellow Hunters as prey, but Hunters who commit extremely evil crimes are not protected by this rule.', only one team in the Association can take on this mission, but it's hard to say in private... Because it doesn't include Hunters of a criminal nature, in other words, we might encounter colleagues in the Association."
"We can't be careless."
Hearing his explanation, the three people's expressions changed slightly.
"Leave it to him..."
Menchi said directly.
She was the one in the team who understood Oboro the most.
Back then, the reason why Oboro had caused a certain degree of sensation in the Association.
Was because the mission that the Chairman had given him to complete had a difficulty of two and a half stars...
What was truly amazing was that Oboro had almost completed it alone.
Of course, most people on the outside didn't know that Hisoka existed. The same was true for Menchi.
...
A few days later, the airship landed in a city close to the destination.
The six people walked to the wilderness, trekking through mountains and rivers, and approached the ruins area.
Here, Oboro's team found the contact person for the client.
"If you go any further, it'll be our security zone... This is the map that we've surveyed so far. It's not complete. Let me remind you that although we're partners, any of your actions have nothing to do with us. You'll bear all the consequences yourself. Your identity needs to be revealed after you help us clear out the poachers. You'll be experts that we've hired... To cooperate with the subsequent work." A man handed several maps to Oboro.
Oboro distributed the maps to the team members.
"It's so big?!" Anthony gasped.
It didn't seem like much when he looked at it on the computer before... But now that he had the map, he found that the entire ruin covered dozens of kilometers.
Moreover, besides the restricted area, there were many red dots marked on the map.
"Are these red dots the locations where the enemy is hiding?" Oboro looked at the contact person.
"Not sure, but they might be the areas where they're active..."
"Understood."
"From now on, everything around here is no longer safe. There might be unrelated people in both the restricted area and outside the restricted area. Their backgrounds and camps are also very vague. You need to be careful." The man reminded them.
"I just want to confirm one thing!" Oboro put away the map, and said calmly.
"Go ahead."
"Did you only entrust us with this one team? What I mean is, there aren't any other personnel in the same camp..."
"Yes."
The man said affirmatively.
"That makes things easier... I was worried that we might accidentally kill friendly forces."
Oboro smiled.
His words made the contact person's eyelids twitch.
"Time is of the essence. You only have one month... If you exceed this deadline, no matter what stage your mission progress has reached, it will be considered a failure."
"Okay."
After saying this, the man left quickly without saying anything else.
"What should we do?"
Fant looked at Oboro, the captain.
"Clear out all the red dots outside the restricted area first... The whole team enters a state of alert. Let's start hunting!"
"Are we going to kill them all?"
Menchi's expression changed slightly.
There were many ways to advance the mission, such as warning, driving away, and injuring them, but Oboro had chosen the most bloody one.
"I said that starting from this mission, it's the starting point for us to understand each other... You need to get used to my way of doing things. And the team members that I want are best to be compatible with me... Of course, if you feel uncomfortable or have other thoughts, you can leave at any time..."
Oboro looked at the few of them.
"..."
Everyone was silent for a while.
"Since there are no objections... Let's begin."
In a forest, Rita was using her Nen ability.
She saw the plants around her suddenly stretch out their branches and leaves. When Rita touched these plants with her fingers, it was as if the two were communicating...
After a moment, the plants returned to their original state.
Rita glanced at the top of her head, at Fant, who was standing on the tree trunk, constantly looking around, and staying alert. She used her mind to communicate in her mind, "Reporting, Captain! We should have entered the area where a group of people is stationed. Other people have passed through here not long ago..."
Oboro, who was the furthest ahead in the team, one kilometer away from Rita and Fant, heard the movement in his brain, and replied, "Yeah... That's right. I've found a sentry point left behind by the enemy."
He was hiding behind a tree trunk, secretly staring at a crow that was standing in the shade, a hundred meters away, in a very hidden location.
This wasn't an ordinary crow... Oboro sensed the Nen ability. It should be a Nen ability of someone.
"It's a crow. The ability is likely to be to make a sound to remind them, or to share their vision... You guys should pay attention to the small creatures nearby."
Oboro continued to say in his heart.
"Menchi and I have also found man-made traps." Anthony, who was also a distance away from Oboro, said.
"Judging from our dispersed formation, and the other party's 'perimeter', their hidden central position is very likely to be in the nine o'clock direction. It's a bit offset from the original red dot. They might have changed their base... They're very vigilant." Oboro instructed.
"Get past the traps and sentry points. Don't alert the enemy... Infiltrate directly."
"Yes."
The four people said in unison.
After saying this, Oboro directly avoided the crow's blind spot, and turned into a black line, circling around at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared.
After a long while, he traveled half a kilometer.
Oboro saw a figure standing under a tree, relieving himself.
Not far from him, there were several makeshift tents... They had also been camouflaged.
"You four stay where you are. Don't move..." Oboro said.
"Have you found the target? How many people are there?"
"Even if it's not good to face them head-on, we can help clean up the stragglers."
As soon as Menchi and Anthony received Oboro's mental signal, and sensed the captain's tone, they knew that Oboro had found the target.
"It's not needed for now. Listen to my instructions."
