after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 227 The latest discovery

Creaking... Li Jie opened a small gap in the door, and through the vast white snow, he saw a mercenary covered in snow, lifted the curtain and entered a military tent.

"Who is that?" Li Jie asked Branken who was on the side, and closed the door again casually. In a short time, a lot of snowflakes rushed in, blowing the flames flickering.

"It should be scouts, right? After all, this is the border of the Northern Empire, so you need to be careful in everything." Blanken didn't care about the military, he just guarded his own acre of land.

"Well, when the snow stops later, go over and ask." Li Jie put his hands close to the fireplace to keep warm.

Scouts are "special forces" in conventional troops. Their main task is to go deep behind enemy lines, scout the location of enemy military targets, and capture enemy prisoners.

Therefore, this scout often has first-hand information about the enemy's situation.

This blizzard came quickly, but it also went away quickly.But don't underestimate this moment, it is enough to kill creatures exposed to the wild.

Li Jie walked out of the wooden house and went straight to the tent where the scouts had just entered, and Blanken followed.

"Who is it!" The mercenary at the door reached out to stop Li Jie.

"Oh, this is the mayor of Camp 666, Li Jie." Blanken introduced that everyone in the camp knew him, and his words were credible.

"You...you are Mayor Li?" The mercenary immediately widened his eyes when he heard that. No one knows the name of 666 now.

"Ah, cough." Li Jie coughed dryly, trying to appear imposing.

"Please, please." The mercenary respectfully invited Li Jie in, hoping that Li Jie would look up to him. This is a financial backer. The mercenaries of the poisonous scorpion team are hired by the 666 camp. higher than peers.

"En." Li Jie nodded. This is just the beginning. When these mercenaries are truly turned into their own armed forces, that is the starting point of the struggle for hegemony.

Once you enter the tent, there is only one bed and a radio station inside. This should be the single room of an officer or captain.The scout was sitting in front of the radio, broadcasting.

"Who is it!" The scout was startled when he saw a stranger coming in, and pointed his scar assault rifle at Li Jie.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is the mayor of Camp 666, Li Jie." Blanken quickly explained, waving his hands.

"Li...Mayor Li?" Apparently, the scouts had also heard of Li Jie's name.

"Exactly." Li Jie nodded slightly and admitted.

"Oh, I've heard your name mentioned by Provincial Eagle a long time ago. Please sit down. Falcon Eagle is also a member of the Eagle Squad." Falcon asked Li Jie to sit down.

"Oh? Really? That would be great." Li Jie heard that he was a comrade-in-arms of the provincial eagle, so it would be more convenient to inquire about the news.

"What's the matter with you?" Falcon Eagle is neither standing nor sitting.

Now that Li Jie's status is getting higher and higher, many mercenaries want to work as errands.

"Is there... anything new about the enemy?" Li Jie's inquiry was like an officer's questioning.

"This..." Falcon Eagle hesitated and said, "It's okay to tell you, I found a few captured hostages in the enemy camp ahead."

"Hostages? Are they survivors from somewhere?" Li Jie is no stranger to this matter. The Northern Empire implements iron-fisted methods, and some people who disobey orders or captured survivors will be punished with hard labor, such as going to Tunnels opened in Shire.

"I don't know... But there are two people among them who are quite special and are under special surveillance. They should be more important prisoners." It was precisely after Falcon discovered this that he contacted the headquarters, hoping to check whether any important people had disappeared recently.

But according to feedback, there are no important figures missing in the league.Therefore, the chamber of commerce only classifies it as a general category, allowing the resident mercenaries to issue rescue missions to the desperadoes themselves.

"Two special prisoners?" Li Jie naturally thought of Zhang Xiao and Lin Lingxi, who were also prisoners of the Shire Town Nuclear Power Plant, and now they have become the mainstay of Camp 666.

"Why? Mayor Li is interested?" Falcon Eagle can tell at a glance, the scout's eyes are venomous.

"Can you take me to take a look first? Just take a look around." Li Jie decided to go and observe first.

"Okay, I'll show you the way." Falcon Eagle was very straightforward, just like a soldier.

"Blanken, you don't want to go, we both go back early." Li Jie turned back to Branken and said, this is a civilian with no combat experience.

"Alright, Mayor Li, I'll listen to you." Blanken didn't try to be pushy, he knew that it was useless for him to go.

"Okay, let's go." Li Jie and others came out of the tent, and Falcon led the way.

Crunching... stepping on the snow, one foot deep, one foot shallow.

"Moo..." Three cows walked in front of Li Jie and Falcon Eagle. They are typical alpine animals, extremely cold-resistant, and live in alpine meadows at an altitude of 3000 to 6000 meters. Their fur can be used to keep warm An essential material for clothing.

However, Li Jie and the others didn't come to hunt, so there was no need to shoot to expose their position just for a few furs.

"Mayor Li, there, just climb over the hill ahead." Falcon pointed to the white snow in front, where there was a prominent hill.

"Let's go." Li Jie looked at the weapon in his hand. Although it was a top-quality UZI collector's edition, the barrel was a little frozen due to the wind and snow.It seems that when I go back, I should change to a special gun for snow.Li Jie thought so.

"Uh..." Just as Li Jie was about to raise his leg, an arm suddenly stretched out from the snow and grabbed Li Jie's ankle.

"Ah? Infected!" Falcon Eagle was startled, and immediately aimed his gun at the snowy field, ready to shoot.

"Wait..." Li Jie stopped him, he could feel that what was buried in the snow was not a zombie.

"Uh..." The man seemed to be frozen and made a weak voice.

"Come on, give me a hand." Li Jie put away the gun and began to plan the snow.

Wow, blah, blah... Falcon also came to help.

Along the direction of the arm, first a head was dug out, and the face was covered with frost.

"Help... help..." The man was indeed still alive.

Digging again, the body, the legs, and finally the whole person was dug out.

Li Jie saw that they were outlaws, thanks to their special physique, if they were replaced by locals, they would have already become sculptures.

Kacha... Kacha... Li Jie set up a bonfire, and the ignited fire dispelled the cold air around him.

"Uh...uh...thank...thank you..." After a while, this person finally came back to life.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Seeing that he was able to speak, Li Jie must have recovered soon.

"I... My name is Deadwood... Uh... I was almost frozen to death..." Deadwood is the one that Bran Mai said. He didn't listen to dissuasion and only knew to rush out.

As a result, he underestimated the power of nature, and when he was surfing the white tree heights... he almost died forever...
