The group accompanied him at the entrance, looking left and right, but saw nothing except a few idle drifters nearby.
"What are we waiting for?" Rebecca asked impatiently, curious.
But Mercer just smiled and looked up at the distance until a small light appeared in the sky, approaching them.
V's prosthetic eye zoom magnification was even higher than Mercer's as she squinted into the distance. A few seconds later, she exclaimed, "Trauma Team!?"
"Yes, this is the gift I prepared for everyone." Mercer unveiled the mystery with a smile.
In the sky afar, a Trauma Team hovercar headed straight for their location with precision.
Judging from the speed, the hovercar seemed to be pushing the throttle to the limit—its speed must be over 200 kilometers per hour, which was fast for such a heavy hovercar.
From the moment they saw the Trauma Team hovercar, it only took over a minute to fly to their front, the vehicle slowly decelerated, descended, and projected a red virtual frame on the ground as a parking guideline.
After the hovercar landed at the marked position, it projected a red rectangular prompt before the car door, indicating where crew members should exit, then the door opened.
A man in a suit walked out of the car with a smile on his face, accompanied by four Trauma Team employees seemingly ready for action, clad in thick bulletproof vests and helmets, holding Kangtao smart weapons.
"Very pleased to meet you, Mr. Mercer. I am the senior business manager of Trauma Team. You can call me Taylor."
Taylor was a typical middle-aged white elite, sporting a suit and sleek-backed hair, his deep-set features accented by his prosthetic eye emitting a faint green light.
"I've already made the appointment online, as per the booking information, I plan to process platinum memberships for myself and my friends."
Mercer came out without a mask, and after Taylor used his prosthetic eye to scan Mercer's face, he confirmed the online appointment within seconds, then cheerfully said to Mercer:
"Your previous online application has passed the qualifications review, congratulations, you fully meet our requirements for platinum membership.
However... If I'm not mistaken, you and your squad are professional Edgerunners?"
Taylor assessed the style of clothing of Mercer's companions almost effortlessly.
Mercer nodded slightly, "Close enough."
"Understood, then I must inform you in advance, for high-risk professions like yours, the premium required will be higher than for regular individuals."
Taylor apologized and explained in advance, "I suggest you read through our 'additional fee list' to avoid unnecessary billing disputes during the service.
For a profession like yours, although the starting premium is based on the standard 'high-risk profession insurance' clauses, and with the frequency of claims, specific situations during claims, we may adjust your monthly premium at any time."
"Got it, as long as you can reach in the city within three minutes to save a life." Mercer remarked.
Beside him, V seemed rather curious. She truly didn't grasp what benefits this platinum membership offered. On the streets, how many would choose to pay for insurance? Let alone such premium medical insurance.
So V straightforwardly asked, "What can this platinum membership do? How much does it cost per month?"
Taylor smiled and looked at V, saying, "Generally, our membership is divided into three tiers, namely silver, gold, and platinum membership.
The platinum membership you're about to subscribe to is the highest membership we offer to the public.
Although expensive, it includes 24-hour monitoring of the insured's physical condition, emergency patient transportation services, surgeries, and nano-surgeries, trauma recovery, cosmetic surgery, free prosthetic inspections, and up to 90% off prescription medication.
Fuel and ammunition costs are waived when triggering medical aid.
Most importantly, within the city center, we guarantee arrival within three minutes, and within the suburban area, within five minutes, any breach is fully compensated.
This is undoubtedly crucial for mercenaries where time is of the essence.
We will also deliver you directly to Trauma Team's advanced hospital or any clinic of your choice and automatically arrange fast VIP surgery channels free of charge to ensure you don't fret over related affairs.
However, please be aware that if both sides in a conflict have platinum membership, Trauma Team will not attack its colleagues, only providing service to the target in need of rescue."
After speaking, Taylor confidently pointed to the hovercar behind him and said, "You can see that each of our company's emergency rescue hovercars is equipped with two vehicle-mounted rotary heavy machine guns controlled by the driver.
In addition to the driver, there are two heavy machine gunners, one professional emergency medical personnel, and one elite commando in our crew.
Every member of the crew is armed with Kangtao Company's latest smart submachine guns. No matter where you are, we will do our utmost to get you out of danger."
This series of service offerings left everyone except Mercer a bit dumbfounded.
"So in other words, if we get shot and need a doctor, you'll drive this thing to get us to the hospital within three minutes?"
