In the ruined neighborhood, mechs are galloping.

Like a gust of wind, smoke and dust are raised on the ground, and the metal fuselage reflects the harsh sunlight, bringing a touch of color to the city that seems to be covered with a layer of earth.

however

With a loud bang, a mecha was thrown straight into the building next to the road, and the already crumbling building suddenly tilted even more. The mechs outside were still raging, and the ground seemed to tremble as if the ground was shaking with the sound of loud roars and engagements.

And the whole city was still quiet, eerily silent.

Tang Chuan and his entourage hid in a half-bombed building and looked out.

"What's going on?" Helan frowned.

They were greeted by two guides sent by the local garrison, who hurriedly explained: "Major General, those are the Free Forces, they are all mercenaries and local armed forces. This is the center, not within the scope of our garrison. ”

"So it doesn't matter?" Helan asked rhetorically.

Feeling the coldness in that voice, one of the guides, Zack, hurriedly explained the situation, "Major General, listen to us first, isn't there a forbidden area in the middle?" There are only a few places left that have not been classified as a restricted area, and even if they are not classified into a forbidden area, if you live here for a long time, you will still be affected by radiation, so the central part has basically been abandoned. ”

Hearing this, everyone knew that it was no wonder that the whole city had become like this. And once you don't even care about the garrison, it is easy to gather all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

"Then there are no more inhabitants here?" Charlie couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." It was Tang Chuan who answered him, "Look at the direction of twelve o'clock, in that window on the fifth floor." ”

Charlie looked over and said, "Ah, there's someone there!" He seems to see us! ”

"Be careful." At this time, another guide who had been silent suddenly spoke, "Don't expose your position lightly here, this is not Huajing, it is a battlefield." ”

This guide is about fifty years old, his rough palms are like withered branches, his eyebrows are thick and black, and he was originally a very good-looking eyebrow shape, but the peak of his eyebrows has been cut off by force, adding a bit of fierceness.

Zach knew the virtue of his partner, haha played a round, "Actually, Lao Gu is right, we estimate that we will have to stay here for a while, the people here are not as gentle as Huajing, everything is better to be careful." Let's go, I'll take you to where you live. ”

The guide said so, everyone is new to the city, of course, they will not be reckless enough to interfere with the fire of the head snake.

The group went around to the other side of the city, where their guide led them into a dilapidated old residential building.

The entire residential building looked empty for years, and a tree with an unknown name grew taller than the building in the corner, and its thick branches even broke through the window and reached into the room, and the whole thing grew with the residential building. When Charlie walked in, he almost tripped over the huge arching root system on the floor.

"Oh my God, what kind of tree is this?" Charlie crouched on the ground and reached out to touch it.

Zach turned around and explained, "Oh this, because of the radiation in the forbidden area, many plants around here have mutated, and this turned out to be a big locust tree." ”

"Nobody cares about this radiation?" Someone in the ranks spoke again.

Lao Gu happened to close the door and walked by, and said coldly, "Who cares?" ”

"We're here." Zach's voice rang out in front of him, and he pulled open a small iron door on the floor, revealing a lit staircase below, "The shelter we built below, with a full set of protective mechanisms, and it can also be protected from radiation, which is very safe. ”

Although the shelter is built underground, the area is not small, but some of the facilities are relatively rudimentary. For example, there is no separate bathroom, only a public shower room, and everyone is basically three or four people in a room, with bunk beds.

After a hasty meal of dry food, everyone used the shelter's cafeteria as a makeshift meeting room.

Opening the map, Helan marked their current location and the location of Saint-Suri, "According to the scope of the forbidden area, take the center of it, you can roughly know the location of Saint-Suli, but this range is still very large, and we need to find it when the time comes." In addition, from the city of Santin, where we are now, to Sansuri, there is a large desert in between. The restricted area has been closed for too long, and no one knows what it looks like inside, so we may encounter all kinds of unexpected situations after entering, and we may not be able to reach the center of the restricted area within the budgeted time. ”

Desert.

Radiation-filled yellow sand, and perhaps sandstorms, tornadoes, and all sorts of worse conditions awaited them.

Illya couldn't help but be a little worried when she was excited, "Is it true that no one has been in for so many years?" ”

"Haha, how could anyone go in" Zach waved his hand, but Lao Gu suddenly interrupted him, "Yes, it's just that they haven't come out again." ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly froze. Zach hurriedly pulled Lao Gu aside and complained, "What are you telling them about!" We're just guides, and we're just going to get them in! ”

Lao Gu smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.

Helan's expression remained unchanged, "The mecha and materials provided to us by the military department will arrive later, and this mission is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Everyone's voices were loud, which startled Zack.

Helan is not panicking, then everyone has nothing to fear, but when the arrow is on the string, it is not in line with their heroic nature.

Charlie smiled and put his arm around Zach's shoulder, "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it, don't worry, we're fully equipped and we'll be fine." ”

For a child of destiny who once followed his island daddy all over the interstellar sea, this difficulty was really nothing.

In the evening, the supplies from the military headquarters arrived, and Helan, Tang Chuan, and Rhine went to check together. At this time, it was quiet outside, and the fighting during the day had long since stopped.

The one who came to deliver the supplies was the battalion commander of the local garrison, named Lanto, who looked very pleasing with thick eyebrows and big eyes, "Major General Helan, I am fortunate to meet you." Ah, this must be Team Tang, hello hello. ”

After a pleasant greeting, Helan asked about the situation straightforwardly, "Battalion Commander Lanto, what's going on with the mercenaries and free forces here?" ”

Half of the troops under the command of the He family stayed in Huajing Gongwei Imperial Capital Star, and half stayed in the crucial Southeast Star Domain, which belonged to the ace elite of the Ostonian Empire. In a place like Mussol, which is not peaceful all year round, it is always a small fight, of course, there is no need for the He family to sit in charge, so in the case of the military department's clear division of various jurisdictions, the He family is also unknown about the situation here.

Mussol is under the jurisdiction of another general in the military department, and no matter how powerful He Jingshan is, he will not casually point fingers at generals of the same level.

Lan Tuo didn't care much, and said with a smile: "Major General Helan, I won't hide it from you, this place of Musor can only be regarded as a garrison base, you see, don't say any municipal institutions, there are not even a few residents here." We don't have many troops in Mussol, and most of them are in the space fortress, and I don't know when we will fight the other side again, and we can't even do it. Here's the central part, there is already radiation, it doesn't matter if you stay for a while, if you stay for a long time, something will happen, and that group of mercenaries and any weapons, of course, will turn a blind eye. ”

Tang Chuan listened, feeling bad. With the He family's rigorous style of governing the army, if this is Helan's subordinate, he will be demoted and confined in minutes. But Helan was much more stable than Tang Chuan imagined, her face did not change, she nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.

After a little more talking, Lanto took his leave and left. On the surface, he looked regretful, but his eyes glanced at the fighter behind him from time to time, and his heart had already flown away.

Helan didn't keep him either, only let him keep some people to guard the supplies.

Tang Chuan looked at the sky and said: "Actually, I'm quite rare about him, I've been in Huajing for a long time, and it's rare to meet someone who can't do such a thing." ”

"It's just pity for his own life." Helan calmly stated.

Ouch, listen to this cold tone, the major general is angry, and the consequences are very severe.

Tang Chuan felt that with Helan's belly, it was estimated that he would have been sentenced to death at this time.

At this time, Rhine looked at the sky in the distance and suddenly stared, "Something is wrong." ”

Tang Chuan and Helan immediately looked up, and in an instant, a brilliant spark bloomed in mid-air, and a loud bang was delayed by 0.01 seconds into their ears.

All three of them had their pupils constricted—it was Lanto's plane!

Who beat him?!

"Let's go!" Helan immediately made a decision, turned around and sat on the mecha that had just been transported, and at the same time as activating, his sharp eyes swept over the soldiers in charge of guarding the supplies, "Notify the garrison headquarters immediately!" ”

Tang Chuan and Rhine followed.

And the people who stayed in the shelter also received Tang Chuan's message at the first time, "Qin Hai, bring someone over immediately and copy the guy!" ”

In order to match the desert terrain, this time the military department sent over a beast-shaped mecha, which is very fast. The three of them soon arrived at the scene of the incident, and the wreckage of Lanto's fighter plane smashed a deep pit on the ground, and black smoke was emitting from the pit. It's already a scumbag.

Tang Chuan turned on the detector on the mecha and searched in the dark night, and soon, several red dots appeared in his field of vision, "Ahead!" ”

Turned around and chased after it, but a little white light gradually magnified in Tang Chuan's sight, Tang Chuan's ten fingers were flexible, his right hand pulled the joystick violently, and the beast-shaped mecha swung its tail flexibly, jumped to the right in an instant to avoid the attack, stepped on the wall next to him, and at the same time as he landed, the main energy cannon was charged and launched!

The light of the firefight lit up the night, and while Tang Chuan pressed forward, Rhine had already caught up from behind, echoing him.

What about Helan?

The mecha blew a whirlwind, turned extremely fast, jumped at high speed, and rushed through three streets in an instant.

This sounds like an unbelievable thing, but for Helan, it's very common.

"Cover." Helan only said two words from beginning to end.

Tang Chuan has a heart and strong pressure on the front.

The night covered up his slightly coquettish position, and the energy storage time of each cannon was pinched to the peak, and the attacks continued one after another, relying on his mecha alone, he forcibly created a scene of several people attacking at the same time.

Not to mention the Rhine next to it.

The captain and deputy captains of the Su Feng squad fought side by side for the first time, although the tacit understanding needs to be run-in and the actual combat experience is insufficient, but the strength honed by the old military academy of the empire is not just talking.

The other party seems to have at least a dozen mechas, and there may be something else hidden in the dark, is it the group during the day?

Tang Chuan thought quickly as he attacked.

The opponent's firepower was fierce, fierce and savage, Tang Chuan was accidentally swept by the aftermath of the attack, revealing the position, and the opponent was a burst of fire.

Tang Chuan operated three slides in succession, and the mecha retreated and added micro-manipulation one after another. Next to him, Rhine immediately tacitly kicked over an abandoned flying car as cover, Tang Chuan hid behind the obstacle, and the long-planned attack broke through the flames of the flying car that was blown up by the concentrated fire, and the light that burst out in an instant successfully delayed the opponent's reaction a little.

The attack fell into the mecha group and exploded with a bang!

"Scatter!" At this time, Helan's voice came from Maili.

Tang Chuan and Rhine moved when they heard the sound, and they scattered left and right, and a series of rapid micro-manipulations quickly dispersed by stepping on the low wall next to them.

Attacks fall from the sky.

Stuck at the end of Tang Chuan's wave of blows, it fell indiscriminately in a large area, slightly furious.

The more violent was still behind, Helan manipulated the mecha to jump down directly from that high point, just like a tiger descending the mountain, breaking into the opponent's formation, and stomping on a mecha on the spot.

While the beast-type mecha squatted slightly, its front paws had already reached out, grabbed the two mechs and slammed them hard—and a piece of the surrounding area suddenly fell.

Helan seized the opportunity and attacked again. If you can do it, don't move your mouth, you can kill it with one blow, and don't waste your body.

Tang Chuan looked at the bang over there, and said secretly. Dare to love so many times before, Nima, you really let me?

Although he thought so in his heart, Tang Chuan was not ambiguous in his hands. While the other party was beaten by Helan, he immediately covered with Rhine.

Soon, Qin Hai and the others also arrived, and Su Feng's team opened fire in full swing, taking advantage of the number alone. It didn't take long for the first victory.

Tang Chuan jumped out of the mecha, walked to the other party's half-crippled mecha, kicked open the cockpit, and pulled the people inside out mercilessly, "Come on, let me see, who is the Holy Spirit who welcomes us so much?" ”

The other party didn't have any injuries on his body, but his face was covered with blood, and a pair of eyes were staring at Tang Chuan. Tang Chuan was slightly stunned, because he actually read hatred in this person's gaze.

Where is this?

"I ask you, you" Tang Chuan asked, his gaze swept to the movement of his mouth, and he immediately turned his face away.

"Phew!" The other party had a mouthful of blood foam, almost spraying him in the face.

Tang Chuan slowly turned his face back, squinting, the green tendons on his temples were about to burst out, "Don't hit people in the face, don't scold people and don't spit on them, are you underwhelmed?" ”

The other party turned his head coldly, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to you.

Tang Chuan was about to explode, but the doubts in his heart also followed-this person's reaction was really strange. The rest of the people also looked at each other, what was going on?

Tang Chuan didn't believe in evil, and slipped out everyone who was still alive, and everyone turned out to be like this. Hateness, indifference.

Helan walked over, "Things are a little strange, Rhine, you take people back to take care of them first." Tang Chuan, you come with me to meet the people in the headquarters. ”

Half an hour later, Helan and Tang Chuan were at the place where they received the supplies, and they connected with the people from the headquarters. This time it was a company commander, Lanto's direct subordinate.

Helan frowned slightly, and the company commander wiped his sweat and hurriedly turned on the video with the command. The top leader of the command, the brigade commander Gao Cheng, suddenly appeared in the picture, he and Helan were at the same level, the two saluted each other, and immediately cut to the chase.

Gao Cheng listened to Helan with a solemn face, and then asked the little brigade commander to turn the camera and show him Lanto's body—if those pieces could still be called corpses.

Tang Chuan just glanced at it before, and his stomach was nauseous, and Mint and the other team members who helped collect the body did not vomit, but their faces were already a little pale.

"Lanto landed for a short time, and he was hit immediately after leaving, which shows that the opponent must be prepared." Helan said in a deep voice, her gaze approaching Gao Cheng, "Has there been any big move on the command side recently?" ”

If not, Lanto is all dead, how can it be possible to send only one brigade commander over?

"This" Gao Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, although Helan was a major general, but after all, he was not in charge of their side

At this time, Tang Chuan was talking to Qin Hai. frowned slightly, "What did you say?" ”

"I think something is very wrong here." Qin Hai's voice carried a hint of worry, "This whole area gives me a very wrong feeling, it doesn't feel so strong during the day, but now I always feel like someone is watching us in the dark." ”

"Could this just be your instincts?"

"No, it won't." Qin Hai stopped and looked straight at the lightless apartment in front of him, but he clearly caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light just now, "There are no residents in this city as those two guides said, they must all be hiding." ”

At this time, Su Feng's team was divided into several groups to patrol the vicinity, and the mechs walked through the streets in pairs, carefully observing the surroundings.

The night wind is mournful, and the wind is a little noisy tonight.

Zhang Chaosheng was in a group with Mint, Bo Yan and Charlie, and the four of them seemed to be scattered, but they always maintained an attack formation. Tonight had come so suddenly, and only a few hours after they landed, the man who had been sent to deliver them supplies had been killed.

And this ruined city in the dark, how weird it looks.

"Why do I think they're coming at us?" Bo Yan couldn't stand the silence, and chattered endlessly, "Those people look at us so strangely, and they don't open their mouths no matter how they ask." ”

"yes, yes, like they're waiting for us." Charlie has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, and he can't stand the current atmosphere the most.

Zhang Chaosheng replied lightly, "It's not surprising. ”

Mint followed, "Tang Chuan took the initiative to take over this errand just to prevent the council from interfering and causing us trouble." Now it seems that trouble is inevitable."

As he was talking, Charlie suddenly exclaimed and interrupted him, "You, you look! ”

The other three immediately raised their eyes and looked around, and saw that the surrounding residential buildings were suddenly lit up, although there were not many lights, but they suddenly lit up, and suddenly gave people a feeling of being embattled.

At this moment, there was a bang, and suddenly a stone smashed on Charlie's mecha, accompanied by a slightly immature voice, "Get out!" ”

"Get out!"

"You're not welcome here!"

The sound of one after another surrounded the four of them in an instant.

They didn't have time to sigh that there were really so many people living here, and a few mechs suddenly popped out in front, and a new battle had already begun.
