The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

For this search and rescue mission, both the Exploration Team and the Ghost Hunting Team sent out elite troops, but there are many actual operational difficulties.

First of all, it was originally thought that the culprit of the incident, the "strange rat", did not move away from the area, but hid underground nearby.

The second is the "big whale" hidden in the sky. In other words, there are two high-level monsters hidden in the area of ​​​​Defense Line No. 3.

The two high-level monsters hid because they were afraid of the sleeping monster king, but the low-level monsters that were exposed by this strange incident were wandering around the block. In other words, if the joint rescue team wants to carry out a search and rescue mission, the first thing they have to face are the low-level monsters and parasites that fill the block.

In order to solve this problem, Deng Yuqi sent out three reconnaissance teams two hours ago to conduct a survey on the distribution of strange things and parasites in the area.

While everyone was making a detailed plan, they were waiting for the reconnaissance team to return, but by this time Shen Ge had already detected the surroundings through the system. Judging from the red dots on the [map], the danger faced by the joint rescue team this time was not low.

Shen Ge thought that after the rescue operation began, he would find an opportunity to leave the team and deal with those high-level weirdnesses. On the one hand, he would help Deng Yuqi and others "relieve the pressure", and on the other hand, he would verify whether his original method of escaping from the dream world was feasible.

At this moment, two of the three reconnaissance teams that went out to investigate the strange surroundings returned.

One of the captains walked to the sand table map and began to mark the information he had discovered. "The northern part of Line 3 is centered on the Penguin Building. The main roads around it are full of parasites. There are also strange creatures hidden in the surrounding buildings. The highest level of paranormal reaction detected is level 4. It is estimated that it is not easy to pass through the Penguin Building directly."

Tu Dou Pi stared at the mark on the sand table and pondered for a while before asking, "There are many parasites, but their reaction and mobility are very flawed. Is it possible to use bait tactics to lure away the parasites on the main road first and let the main search and rescue team pass through? After all, no matter how many parasites there are, they are not as threatening as the 4th-level weirdness."

The captain shook his head and sighed, "It's probably difficult. The main road is in a complicated condition. There are many abandoned vehicles and two previously abandoned lines of defense. It's difficult to deploy the bait tactic. Secondly, the bait tactic is likely to draw out the weirdness in the surrounding buildings. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides... It will be even more difficult for us."

Deng Yuqi suddenly thought of something and took out a map from the file shelf and spread it out: "If I remember correctly, the city's sewer system was improved for storm protection ten years ago. After the drainage system was expanded, it was even connected to the subway station. Maybe we can go through the subway station."

Tu Doupi agreed, "That's right. Even if there are parasites or weird things blocking the sewers, even if a battle breaks out, the noise won't attract the monsters down there."

At this time, someone raised a question: "But...isn't our mission to search and rescue survivors? The strange incident that broke out on Line 3 means the probability of survivors hiding in Line 3 is the highest. We bypass the periphery and enter the center directly. What if we miss the survivors hidden in the buildings in these areas?"

Deng Yuqi had obviously considered this a long time ago, pointing to the Penguin Building in the central area and said: "This is the first point where the weird energy burst was detected. We suspect that the most terrifying weirdness is hidden here. Judging from the current distribution of weirdness and weirdos in the entire area of ​​Line 3, with only our limited manpower, we cannot complete the search and rescue operation in two or three days, or even two or three months."

"So my plan is to divide them into three teams and enter the central area from three different directions. As long as we can successfully enter the Penguin Building, we can place high-explosive bombs at key locations on the ground floor of the building and then blow up the entire building. Even if the noise of blowing up the Penguin Building doesn't wake up the high-level weirdos in the building, it can still attract the low-level weirdos and parasites wandering around the entire No. 3 defense line."

"By then, whether we continue the search and rescue operation or the hidden survivors flee to the shelter, the difficulty will be greatly reduced."

After everyone discussed it, they immediately felt that Deng Yuqi's "bait plan" was feasible. This saved a lot of time compared to placing baits from the outside and moving forward step by step.

Even though Shen Ge is "valued" by Deng Yuqi and the exploration team of this world, he is essentially still a "newcomer". Naturally, he will not speak casually at this time. When they discuss the plan, he will just use the [map] to check the distribution of monsters around and confirm the feasibility of their plan.

In fact, no matter which route you choose, there are many hidden monsters and parasites. It can only be said that avoiding the high-level monsters hidden in old buildings is the best option.

Thirty minutes later, the joint rescue team that had formulated a plan was divided into three groups. One group, led by Deng Yuqi, went to the "Penguin Building" from the subway line A. The second group, led by Tu Doubi, went through the subway line B. The team that Fang Mingyue and Shen Ge were in was assigned to enter from the waterproofed sewer.

Shen Ge didn't know whether it was Fang Mingyue who was unlucky or he was more unlucky. From the map, the most troublesome route among the three routes happened to be the one they drew.

Although those level 3 monsters in the sewer posed almost no threat to Shen Ge, his original intention was to find an opportunity to leave the team. It was not convenient to move with a group of burdens.

Fang Mingyue saw that he had remained silent since the assignment, and thought that he was worried that the route to the sewer was too dangerous, so she patted her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, Shen Ge, no matter how hard and difficult the road ahead is, I will never leave you and will never let you fall in front of me!"

"?"

Although I understand what you mean, why does this sound weird?

Also, sister, where do you get your confidence from?
Fang Mingyue obviously didn't know that Shen Ge was not worried about how dangerous the sewer was, but was thinking about finding an opportunity to knock her and the other team members down at once and throw them to a safe place, and then go into the "Penguin Building" alone to get rid of the high-level monster.

I don't know whether the "big whale" was still peeking in the sky, or if it was affected by some other strange factor, but the sky was dim at this time, and the sky filled with thick fog seemed to be pressing down continuously, making people walking under this sky feel depressed and breathless.

Outside the No. 3 defense line, a defense line was built along the outer wall with iron mesh and iron fences, built with abandoned vehicles and piles of rubble to prevent the surrounding weirdos and weirdos from approaching.

According to the exploration team, this line of defense has been modified several times based on strange sightings, and as many as several lines of defense have been abandoned. As long as the last line of defense is not lost, the shelter will be safe.

The cool morning wind blew on the quiet streets, stirring up the dust that had been deposited on the streets for a long time. The main roads in the block were blocked by abandoned vehicles. The unconscious victims, with their heads made of flesh and petals like parasitic beasts, would take a few steps back after crashing into the vehicles, repeating these actions over and over again.

After two days of "cooperation", Shen Ge has gained a certain understanding of Fang Mingyue's team. Although they are not as good as the Special Measures Department in "reality", let alone the captain level, they can't even reach the elite anti-ghost agent level, but they can make up for the gap in strength and equipment through rich experience in fighting ghosts.

In this doomsday world, the soldiers who are still fighting on the front line have gone through dozens of "screenings" over the years, and their skills have been truly honed on the brink of life and death.

They don't have much weird equipment, but they make good use of the weird corpses, such as weird leather clothes, weird bone armor, etc. Although they can't compare to the effects and capabilities of weird equipment, they can play a significant role in dealing with low-level weird and parasites.

Before, Shen Ge thought they were "newbies" because they encountered the strange domain as soon as they went out. It was like a team of experienced warriors were frozen by an ice ring from a senior great magician as soon as they went out. No matter how experienced they were, they could not beat the opponent's magic attack that ignored physical defense.

"The nearest sewer maintenance area is at the store entrance on the right, 500 meters ahead. It will be more convenient to confirm the route to the 'Penguin Building' from there." At this time, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance and route planning took out a map and pointed to a location.

Fang Mingyue took out the weird telescope and took a look. She said, "The good news is that there are not too many weirds and parasites on this street. It should be less than three digits. The bad news is... According to the strength data fed back by the weird telescope, there should be a level 3 weird hidden."

Although Fang Mingyue also used a "strange energy" telescope, its accuracy in detecting the intensity of strange energy was far inferior to Shen Ge's strange energy detector.

However, as a "cross-era" high-tech product, Shen Ge's strange energy detector was sent to the research department for research immediately after it was presented to the group. Even if the researchers worked overtime to study it, it would be impossible to see results in such a short time.

Therefore, let alone Shen Ge, the original owner of the strange energy detector, even Deng Yuqi, the deputy leader of the exploration team, was not qualified to bring the strange energy detector in this operation.

"Qi Ying, Zhao He, the two of you take a few people to break through from the right side and fight quickly. Shen Ge, your task is more difficult, let's break through from the left side together and try to make some noise to lure the main force over... Look here, from here, and then here, we should be able to get rid of them. The rest of you, break through from the middle and rush to the entrance as quickly as possible." Fang Mingyue spread out the map and assigned tasks.

Shen Ge was just about to say that he could handle it alone, but at this moment, the monster hidden in the collapsed shop opposite seemed to smell the scent of human beings. It let out a roar, broke through the stone pestle with a "bang", and crawled out from the hidden pit. It turned out to be a huge weird cockroach.

"Heh, a Martian alien, right?" When Shen Ge saw the level 3 monster, he subconsciously thought of a muscular cockroach monster that was roaming around on Mars in a comic.

Fang Mingyue was not as calm as Shen Ge. The moment she saw the weird cockroach, her face changed drastically and she said anxiously: "Oh no, we have been discovered by the Level 3 weird. Everyone listen up... Act according to Plan A immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Fang Mingyue had developed several plans before launching the rescue operation, and the team members kept each plan in mind. When plan A was mentioned, everyone immediately understood and took action.

"Hey, wait, don't you want to consider Plan B?" Shen Ge wanted to call Fang Mingyue, asking her to gather the team members and charge forward, and he would take care of the rest.

On the way here, Shen Ge had mentioned this to Fang Mingyue, but she just said, "Shen Ge, I understand that with great ability comes great responsibility, but we are a team, and we can't always put the burden on your shoulders alone. You have to try to trust your teammates..."

The first half of Fang Mingyue's words can be ignored, but the second half... This is not the first time Shen Ge has heard this sentence. Before, it was Deng Yuqi, the "realistic" Fang Mingyue, and even Cheng Shengnan, who all asked him to try to unload the burden on his shoulders and let his teammates help share it.

But Shen Ge has become accustomed to solving these problems alone. He is used to being alone and always wants to complete the things he is handling from beginning to end. He rarely considers letting other people take over.

Perhaps it was because of this that Shen Ge was always in a state of mental tension. During the strange incident in Dong'an Lake, he was even a little paranoid. As a result, he fell into the trap of the clone Shen Ge and was dragged into the dream world and trapped, falling into an endless death loop.

"call."

Shen Ge looked at the dark sky and let out a long sigh, thinking to himself that he really had become a "worker destined by heaven". They had become the first pair of weird detectives in the Great Celestial Empire, and they were still thinking about rolling in more.

"Ugh."

It seems that I should go back and train a few successors. Then I can learn from the minister, sit in the office and only be responsible for giving orders.

While Shen Ge was distracted, Fang Mingyue had already rushed towards the strange cockroach with weapon in hand.

She was very fast, but she never expected that the tentacles of the strange cockroach were so hard and flexible, and they lashed at her like a whip.

Fang Mingyue reacted quickly as well. She pulled out the dagger on her calf and stabbed at the tentacles of the strange cockroach. However, she heard a sharp "clang" sound, and the dagger hit the tentacles like it was hitting steel. Not only did she fail to block the opponent's attack, but she was blasted away and hit a dead tree trunk beside her.

Fortunately, the strange leather jacket on Fang Mingyue absorbed most of the force, so she was not seriously injured, but she still fell quite hard.

As the captain of the exploration team, Fang Mingyue’s fighting skills are not among the best in the team, but after several years of life and death struggles, there are only a handful of people in the team who can beat her.

After being knocked away, she quickly got up and used her agility to fight the strange cockroach, luring it to move around in the buildings and knocking down several shops.

The noise was loud enough to successfully attract the monsters and parasites wandering around, but it also led to the encirclement.

No matter how sharp Fang Mingyue's skills were, she was out of breath at this moment. What she was most worried about now was not that she was trapped in the encirclement, but that Shen Ge was "missing". (End of this chapter)
