Chapter 166 The Dead City

Due to the large gap between the enemy and the enemy, the battle ended very quickly. Xu Ling didn't even see the appearance of the monster, not to mention making a move.

"Military merit..."

Xu Ling was very jealous. After the investigation team left the country, military merit could be counted for killing monsters. After the killing process was filmed by a personal terminal clipped on the armed belt, it could be directly included in the file, which was an important basis for promotion and rewards.

However, the number of land crocodiles here is too small and not enough, which makes it impossible to catch those who run slowly.

He brought Meng Chi to the tactical team, and heard that Zhu Talan, deputy commander Li Zhengyi and several staff members were discussing strategies.

This is the special feature of warrior troops. A high military rank may be due to strong force and military merits, but not necessarily command ability. Decisions are often made jointly by the commander and the full-time staff.

"Personally, I think that the engineers should be directed to fill the hole in the corridor above the head, so as to prevent more monsters from pouring into the underground corridor, which will hinder the subsequent return journey or reinforcements." A staff officer said.

Zhu Taran nodded: "I will definitely make love, but before that... Hey, Xu Ling, go and call Sylet over here."

After a while, the strong man from the Winter Kingdom pushed through the crowd: "General Zhu, you call me."

"I want to ask a question, when you came here, have you seen a similar collapse?"

With an interpreter present, communication was not as difficult as when Xu Ling was in the car.

Sylet said: "There are three places, no, four places, but the monsters don't seem to like underground very much, only a small amount entered the corridor, but it still caused us some trouble."

some trouble...

Xu Ling couldn't help admiring the big hearts of these Winter Kingdoms, and he called the loss of eleven people a little trouble.

But thinking about it this way, he admired Sylet even more, because this collapse was the first place everyone encountered after setting off from Xia Kingdom, that is to say, the monsters ahead caused him to lose all his companions, but he was alone The ground has advanced more than 100 kilometers in the dark, and there may be scattered underground monsters in the middle.

I don't know whether what supports him is the worship of the gods, or the concern for the tribe, or maybe both.

At this time, the members of the expert group made a suggestion, intending to go up from the collapsed place to see the ground conditions, at least to find out where it is, and to record the approximate path of the underground corridor.

Zhu Taran agreed with this idea, so he decided to transfer some people from the tactical team to explore the ground, while the rest stayed put to rest.

Outside the country, one must be careful when moving on the ground on a large scale, which may attract animal hordes. Although the survey team can handle a normal scale, there is no need to increase additional consumption and casualties.

When selecting candidates, Zhu Taran watched Xu Ling ponder for a while, and said reluctantly, "You should follow."

Many people had expected him to keep up with him, but Xu Ling put forward a condition instead, that he should also bring the little assistant Meng Chi along.

Normal people wouldn't dare to negotiate terms with the commander in chief, but they were already familiar with Xu Ling's behavior, so they just pretended they didn't hear it, anyway Zhu Taran would definitely agree.

Finally, a team of 30 people, including several members of the expert team and Sylet, left the underground corridor and set foot on the ground.

As soon as he came out, he saw a few magical beasts that were attracted to him. Zhu Taran pressed the simple long sword on his waist, and didn't even pull it out completely. Silently.

Xu Ling felt distressed again: You don't need military achievements, why don't we have some soup!
But Zhu Taran did this only to reduce the noise.

A captain of the reconnaissance team jumped onto the tallest tree nearby, looked around with binoculars, and jumped down to report: "There seems to be a human building about four kilometers in the direction of eight o'clock."

Zhu Taran gave an order, and everyone started to move in that direction in silence.

The people transferred from the expert group also deliberately chose those with a high force index, and they had no problem keeping up with the warrior troops. They encountered a few monsters in the middle, and they were quickly and silently dealt with.

Soon, everyone found a broken road in the dense forest.

It was only then that Xu Ling discovered that this was originally a suburb of a city, but over the past hundred years, the plants under the influence of demonization have grown wildly, gradually covering up the traces of human activities. You must walk very close to find some clues .

Everyone received the order and began to search for useful information nearby. Xu Ling drew his sword and split open the thick vines of Panqiu Crouching Dragon, and found a metal card with white characters on a green background. He could tell that it was neither Xia Guoyu nor Winter Guoyu, and he couldn't understand it, so he called others on the radio channel.

After a while, all the teams gathered, and the experts translated it. This is a road sign.

"One kilometer ahead is the city of Mars in the Green Country."

Everyone checked the preset map on the terminal and quickly figured out the location.

"Sure enough, the underground corridor is basically a straight line. Sylet is right."

Starting from the Ping'an border defense section, after a straight-line distance of [-] kilometers, we should arrive here.

"Mr. Zhu, let's go to the city." The expert said, "The previous overseas investigations in this direction did not pass through this city."

"Let's go, everyone, pay attention to safety and try to hide your whereabouts as much as possible."

Zhu Taran gave an order, and everyone set off again, marching towards the city silently.

After running for a few minutes, a billboard appeared in front of it. I don't know if Warcraft is not interested in this thing. It has stood upright for so many years without falling down. The plastic billboard is only a little worn out, but the text is clearly visible.

[Welcome to Mars City. ]
Further ahead, there are more trees, and they are extremely tall, as if a big mountain suddenly appeared, covered by layers of green, it is impossible to see the scene clearly.

"There is a high point over there, let's go up and observe it first." The scouting team suggested.

Zhu Taran agreed with this idea. The terrain in the city is complicated, and many monsters like to occupy buildings and become kings in it. It is not a wise choice to rush in.

A group of people came to the so-called high point, which was an abandoned building foundation. It seemed that it had suffered a catastrophe when it was half built that year. It was too long, and plant branches had protruded from the cement pillars.

After clearing out the hidden low-level monsters, Xu Ling finally reaped some benefits, but the number was small and the military achievements were not much.

The good thing is that the bosses of the other tactical groups don't care about the small overflowing magic crystals of low-level monsters. Xu Ling got a good deal, and besides killing the ones he killed himself, he also ran to touch other people's corpses, and together with Meng Chi He hurriedly obtained a small pile of overflowing magic crystals.

There was no time to do this on the road just now, but now that everyone else has climbed to the roof to observe the situation, this gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After splitting things up with the little assistant, Xu Ling took a few vertical leaps and also reached the roof, only to find that the others were all staring ahead in silence.

Among the clumps of trees, broken walls, broken lights, collapsed bridges, and even sporadic monsters can be seen in the telescope.

The place where humans once lived is now full of monsters.

The city that was once alive is now dead.
