Chapter 349 The Ghost of Signal

After staying overnight, the team exploring the signal set off again and arrived at the open area under the plateau. The formation also changed accordingly. The Chosen led by Sylet walked at the forefront. This is to facilitate the charge in case of sudden encounters. .

After all, that strange signal source was judged to be man-made. In case there are human beings, it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. The other party did not go to Xia Guo for help like Sylet. If they meet, they must at least have the ability to fight directly. Self-defense will do.

Several tactical squads acted alone, a certain distance from the main force, and kept in touch through short-range radio. If the situation changed, they had to judge the situation by themselves, or intersperse, support, or detour to surprise the enemy.

"Brother Liu, you lead the team to the right side of the route to cover the flank. If you attack from the front, you will directly join the main force for support. The sixteenth team will go to the rear to hang. If it is a positional battle, you can go directly to your ass."

"okay."

"Yes."

Everyone immediately went to carry out the orders they received, while Xu Ling led the members of the ninth team to the left side of the team, separated by a certain distance.

The troops continued to move forward according to the established formation, and moved towards the previously determined direction, which should be the Jiaoma City of Manling Country. As they got closer to the destination, some remains of the city could already be seen.

Roads, service areas, gas stations, and of course, are all now vegetated ruins.

As Xu Ling moved forward, he asked the team members to record the appearance of this place with the terminal. After returning, it can be used as video data and delivered to the expert group to analyze the situation here.

After walking fast for a while, Xu Ling received an order from Chu Xiaojun on the radio.

"All units are on alert on the spot."

He knew it must be because he was close to the destination, so he said to Lin Ling, "Go ahead and take a look."

The latter nodded and disappeared into the jungle.

Xu Ling asked other people to station in different directions. This place is more dangerous than the snow field, and it is not much different from the Green Country that was passed by on the way to Kuliwushi.If there is a beast king leading a high-intensity herd to attack, it will be a fierce battle.

Not long after, Lin Ling came back and said to everyone: "You can see the ruins of a city in front of you. It is judged to be Jiaoma City, and the monsters are relatively inactive."

Xu Ling nodded slightly: "Okay, let's wait to see if there are any new orders, everyone hurry up and replenish quickly."

At this time, there is no time to stop and light a fire to cook, so I can only eat some dry food to replenish my strength.

Suddenly, a new command came over the radio.

"All staff shrink the formation."

Chu Xiaojun called back everyone who went out, including the scouts.

Xu Ling led people to join the main force and asked, "Sir, what happened?"

Gathering people all together is not a routine option during a march.

Chu Xiaojun replied: "We are going to enter Jiaoma Market now."

"what?"

Not only Xu Ling, but many others were also a little dazed. It was not a very wise choice for so many people to enter the ruins of the city without a comprehensive reconnaissance.

The larger the number of people, the greater the movement, which means that it is easier to attract the attention of monsters, unlike a small team that can sneak in silently.

But Chu Xiaojun said: "I checked the signal again just now, and it pointed to Jiaoma City, but the bad news is that it is rapidly decaying. I am worried that it will disappear directly if it is delayed, so we must hurry up."

In this way, no one can object. The purpose of their trip is to find the source of the unknown signal, and they cannot return without success.

So everyone began to move into the urban area in a tight formation.

Walking along the broken road to the edge of the city, the speed of travel slowed down significantly. Although he was eager to pursue the target, safety still had to be considered. Without advance reconnaissance, he could only act cautiously.

The engineer responsible for detecting the signal fiddled with the instrument again, and then reported: "Sir! The signal has not continued to attenuate."

This is good news, Chu Xiaojun said: "Where is the direction?"

"Sir, you have to go deeper. The distance should not be too far. Judging from the strength of the signal, it should be near the city center."

"Okay, move on."

After Chu Xiaojun gave an order, everyone continued to set off.

After walking for an hour, Xu Ling approached him and whispered, "Sir, do you feel something is wrong?"

"There is a problem, Warcraft seems to be too sparse."

After entering the urban area, the team has only been harassed by sporadic monsters, and has not encountered a large group of attacks. This is very unusual. In the ruins of the city, there are often beast kings entrenched.

It stands to reason that the lack of monsters is a good thing, but there is an old saying that when things go wrong, there must be monsters. In occupied areas, everything unusual may mean danger.

"But we have to carry out our mission, we can only increase our vigilance, after all, we don't know anything about the truth now."

This is also a helpless thing. The current team has returned to the normal state of overseas investigations. They are all soldiers. It is impossible to withdraw just because there is danger, let alone this is only a potential danger.

Continuing to go deep into the city for a certain distance, Xu Ling found that Jiaoma City was not exactly the same as the dead city that he had seen in Luyin Country before.

There are very few complete buildings left here, and almost all high-rise buildings collapsed. It seems that Warcraft not only slaughtered all humans, but also deliberately destroyed all remnants of civilization, and refused to let go of even lifeless buildings.

"There are discoveries."

Xu Ling received Liu Tao's call on the radio, and hurried over, and then saw the so-called discovery, a tree stump left on the ground.

"Here, this is a chainsaw."

He understood Liu Tao's meaning. A tree with the thickness of an adult's waist originally grew here, but it was cut off by something like a chainsaw, and the tree body disappeared without a trace. Obviously, this should be in the logging.

The conclusion may sound stupid, but the meaning behind it is that there are indeed human activities here. After all, Warcraft will not use a chainsaw to cut down trees.

After hearing the news, everyone in the team was very excited. Sylet lay down on the tree stump and looked at it for a while and said: "The fracture is very new, and it is conservatively estimated that it will not exceed a month at most."

He then called the engineer over and kept detecting around with his instruments. The team followed him in the direction of the signal source, and finally came to the ruins in the downtown area.

"Sir, the signal source is here."

After several confirmations, the engineer finally said firmly.

"here?"

The people next to it were very puzzled. There was only a piece of rubble in the place where it was parked, and there was not even a decent wall to be found. How could the signal source be here.

However, the engineer ignored the other people's questions. His face changed, and he fiddled with the instrument for a while, then whispered: "The intensity has started to rise again!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately became vigilant, and the sound of the gun being loaded and the clanging of the weapon unsheathed could be heard endlessly.

Everyone agreed that a rise in signal strength probably meant that something was about to appear.

However, a cold wind blew and nothing happened.

The signal that keeps getting stronger is like an invisible ghost, enveloping everyone's heart.
