Tangning looked at the soldier who spoke. It was a girl holding an automatic weapon in her hand.

"My father's name is Tang Pu. He is a famous archaeologist. He once discovered the remains of an ancient hydropower station in Manzhou, and then spent his entire life restoring that power station. Have you heard of it?"

Seeing the female soldier named Xiao Ning shaking her head in confusion, Tangning smiled smugly, "Although it was a big event in the archaeological world back then, you probably didn't know...you were too young at that time."

"In order to repair the power station, our family moved there... After I woke up, I... repaired it again."

"I didn't know until I reconnected to Skynet... that the world has changed. There are no human beings between the 28th parallel north and south latitudes."

"29 degrees." Xiang Shouchuan severely corrected Tangning, "We finally stayed at 29 degrees."

Tangning nodded, her voice was calm and slow, "The network has been cut off by the alliance between the cities. I only know a little bit of information about what happened in Manzhou before the network was cut off and after that."

"Many people have become... undead, the forest is expanding wildly, and there are terrifying monsters inside..."

"Plus...there are no players in Manzhou City in the New World, so I guess that there are actually no people in Manzhou."

"I don't know the situation further north, but I think if I can go north and leave the forest, I may still meet...you."

"For this trip, I prepared for four years at the power station. Later, the water blocking of the dam of the power station blocked the beast road, causing the beast tide to divert."

"My base was destroyed. Although I'm not fully prepared, I can only go on the road immediately."

"Before I met you, I have never seen a single living person along the way..."

The team members looked at Tang Ning with incomparable respect and amazement. Being able to touch this place from 28 degrees north latitude, this person in front of them is not a little bit powerful.

And... not a little bit of luck.

"As for how I survived..." Tangning took off the long knife from her back and handed it to the female warrior named Xiao Ning, "Because I have it."

The soldier named Xiao Ning took the long knife hesitantly and carefully, and found that the outer scabbard was just a very rough animal skin, which wrapped the wooden sheath made of cold stiff wood inside.

The handle of the knife is also made of cold and stiff wood, tied together with the long blade with rough animal tendons.

Xiao Ning pulled out the knife a little, and Xiang Shouchuan found that the blade was not metal, but the skeleton of some kind of animal. What he saw in the scope before was not the reflection, but the faint glimmer of the bone knife itself.

Xiang Shouchuan understood that this configuration can protect the holder of the bone knife from being hurt by the ability of the knife.

……

……

The darkness before dawn passed quietly, and the morning light shone in through the window.

The team is ready to go.

After the line of sight became clear, everyone began to re-examine the young man.

The young man is well-proportioned, with long hair, handsome appearance, and especially deep eyes.

The blood from the fierce battle last night made the young man look a little dirty now.

On the young man's body was a set of armor made of dark red reptile skin. It was very rough, probably nailed to chemical fiber overalls, and then simply reinforced with animal bones.

But the design is very reasonable, and there is a stand collar to protect the neck.

He was wearing a pair of ordinary hiking boots, and he had no other weapons except the bone knife all over his body.

When they came downstairs, the team members started the only two chariots. At this time, another chariot drove over from the No. [-] post, and there were also three people on it.

As soon as the car stopped, the driver on it jumped down: "Master! If it weren't for you last night, the three of us would have all died at the mouth of the dire wolf!"

After finishing speaking, it doesn't matter if Tangning likes it or not, just give her a hug and pat on Tangning's back, "Thank you buddy!"

The other two also got out of the car and hugged Tangning warmly.

Xiang Shouchuan took a look at the ruins of the second team defending the building, and ordered his men to search before introducing to Tangning, "They are the third team you rescued yesterday—Li Yong, Zhang Chao, and Li Jin."

Tangning also smiled at them, "Hello."

Zhang Chao said in admiration, "Brother Tang, you are so skilled! Last night I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect Brother Tang to rush in from the west window and kick that dire wolf out!"

"Your figure made me think it was another dire wolf, and I almost didn't scare you! By the way, how did you join our combat channel?"

Tangning smiled slightly, "Because I still have a companion with a device."

After speaking, he stretched out his fingers and whistled in his mouth.

A huge mastiff came running out of the forest.

The team exploded with a buzz, and many people immediately took cover and pointed their weapons at this guy who was not easy to mess with at first glance.

Then I realized that my weapon had been locked and I couldn't shoot at all.

This meant that the mastiff also had a friend-or-foe identification device, which was changed by Tangning to match the frequency of the team.

The Mastiff was obviously a mutant beast, Tangning quickly explained to everyone, "Don't be nervous, this is my companion, and it's called Tangyuan."

Only then did everyone see clearly that Mastiff also had a set of leather armor of the same style as Tangning's, with two packages on each side and a set of electronic equipment on its back.

As Tangyuan approached, the group felt tremendous pressure and couldn't help being very nervous, but Tangning reached out and pinched the fat on the cheek of the giant beast's ears, "Don't mess around with Tangyuan."

After speaking, he pressed an electronic device on Tangyuan's back, and a small drone flew over from the air and landed on Tangyuan's back precisely.

"This is the processor and drone that I modified, and I cut into your channel through it."

"Peace three." Xiang Shouchuan is a person who knows the goods: "The last model of Panorama Company."

"Yeah." Tangning nodded, "Do you want the body of the wolf king? It hid in a tree hole last night, so you can't detect it."

"So that's how it is." Xiang Shouchuan suddenly realized, and then frowned and became worried: "These mutant beasts seem to be getting smarter and smarter."

Tangning patted Tangyuan again, "Tangyuan also lived there last night."

In addition to the wolf king, the cold stiff tree is even more precious.

Doomsday viruses can not only affect animals, but also plants.

Plants attacked by viruses also have many functions, and the cold tree that can shield detection signals and light pulses is one of them.

A mutant beast can live in the tree hole of this tree, it can be seen that it is very huge, so it is also a very valuable discovery.

Xiang Shouchuan asked his team to follow Tangning to find the wolf's corpse, and recorded the location coordinates of the Hanzhi tree, and said, "Thanks to my brother, this trip finally paid off."

The two soldiers from the second search team came back and shook their heads at Shou Chuan.

Xiang Shouchuan flashed a look of sadness, put away the map board, and picked up the weapon again: "Let's go, hurry up and start!"

"Brother Tang, take our car!" Without saying a word, Li Yong and Zhang Chao pulled Tangning and walked towards the car they just came over.

The car has a back box, where a row of sergeants can sit. Li Yong opened the top cover: "Brother Tang, your...comrade, why don't you let him be wronged in the back?"

Tangning shook her head, "No need, here are the glutinous rice balls!"

Tangyuan walked over shaking her head.

Tangning took the big package from Tangyuan and threw it into the car, then opened the server on the back of its body armor, took out the storage crystal, took out a new one from the package, and explained to it: "You just stay in the jungle , stay away from people, and don't be aggressive, I will come to you after I settle down."

Tang Yuan seemed to be able to understand, and rubbed against Tang Ning to express her dissatisfaction.

Tangning clicked on the server on Tangyuan's back, and Tangning's phantom appeared in front of Tangyuan, "Good boy Tangyuan, let's keep in touch in the old way, okay?"

Tang Yuan just sat down and stuck out her tongue at Tangning.

Tangning picked up a log from the ground and threw it hard into the depths of the jungle.

Tangyuan immediately jumped and ran towards the jungle.

Only then did Tangning turn around and get in the car, "Brother Yong, let's go!"

Li Yong watched the glutinous rice balls disappear into the jungle, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go!"

The convoy's drones scouted the road ahead, and three military vehicles set off, heading north along the remains of the road.

……

Commander Zhang Yucheng sat in the spacious office of the Garrison Headquarters in the densely populated area of ​​Shudu, and asked a military attache wearing gold-rimmed glasses who came to report, "Hengshan, has the information come out?"

The military attache is Wang Hengshan, chief officer of the Intelligence Bureau of the Garrison Command. Upon hearing this, he clicked a button on Zhang Yucheng's desk, and a light screen immediately appeared on the desk: "I found it. I searched with just a few words from the returnee. His identity should be Before the cataclysm, Tang Ning was the son of Tang Pu, a famous archaeologist in the alliance."

As he spoke, he flicked the information and images on the light screen with his fingers: "Lin Yu and Tang Pu are also famous scientists after the settlement was established, so we have sufficient information on them."

"On March [-]th of the first year of Datong, Tang Pu, a member of the Academy of Archeology of the Union Academy of Sciences, submitted an archaeological application, reporting that the site of an ancient hydropower station was discovered in Lvzhugou, Yuanhuimin Township, Manzhou, and applied for a research project."

"On March 25 of the first year, the Academy of Sciences approved the project."

"This is a resignation application report from the First Hospital of Shuzhou at that time. The reporter was Lin Yu, and the resignation time was May [-]rd of the first year. The reason for resignation was that he left Shuzhou with his husband and went to settle in Manzhou. It is estimated that this is Tang The time when Pu started scientific research."

After finishing speaking, Wang Hengshan drew out another document: "This is the student transfer record in Tangning's file. We found that the student user login node of Tangning's former Shuzhou No. 23 Middle School was transferred from Shuzhou to Manzhou. The specific time is Yuanzhou. On August 14, [-], a week before summer school started, he was [-] years old at that time."

"The Intelligence Bureau estimates that this is the beginning of Tang Pu's family leaving Shuzhou and going to Manzhou to resettle in order to facilitate scientific research and investigation nearby."

After finishing speaking, he drew out a bunch of transaction slips: "This is the online transaction records of Tang Pu, Lin Yu, and Tang Ning. The receiving addresses are all in Manzhou, and the longitude and latitude are exactly the site of the Lvzhugou Hydropower Station in Huimin Township."

"Materials include infrastructure materials, tools, living supplies, crop seeds, etc. It can be seen that the Tang family not only engaged in the restoration project of the ancient power station there, but also built a home."
