The off-road vehicle is very advanced, after the transformation of the magic guide, there are a lot of advanced equipment in it, as soon as the car is on, Zhuang Xue introduced it to Xilingchen.

The vehicle vehicle is specially designed and manufactured for field missions, a multi-purpose type of off-road vehicle, with high speed, strong endurance, and can even act as a temporary signal tower without communication, with a range of about three kilometers, a medical box in the trunk, and a complete set of wilderness survival kits.

In addition to these there are also weapons, and there is a space storage compartment in the car, which contains some individual combat weapons.

Zhuang Xue introduced while driving, and not long after, the two left the city.

Xi Lingchen didn't ask about the specific details of the task, anyway, he followed the past to fish, this kind of task is not dangerous, it is a task issued by the military and the academy in cooperation, the purpose is to let the students experience the dangers of the wild earlier, if it is a mission that requires combat, it must not be only Zhuang Xue alone, it is a magic team with the students to perform.

Leaving the city, Zhuang Xue set up a navigation route and then switched to autopilot.

There is a law in the Bingyan Free Federation that you can't use autonomous driving in cities, even if it's very advanced.

"This task is very simple, that is, go over to scout, you won't encounter any mutant monsters, even if you encounter mutant monsters, I will protect you." Zhuang Xue said.

After hearing this, Xilingchen reminded: "Teacher, I'm also very good!" ”

Zhuang Xue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, it seemed like this, the handsome guy in front of him had expert-level firearms skills, and like himself, in addition to the magic level and combat experience, the other party was not weaker than himself, but no matter what, as a teacher, he would definitely be responsible, so Zhuang Xue asked: "Classmate Chen, what weapon do you use?" ”

"These."

Xiling Chen took out the weapon that he had exchanged for the academy points before, Zhuang Xue looked at it and said: "It's good, it's quite suitable for you to use at this stage, wait a minute, if you really encounter danger, you must be calm, don't shoot casually." ”

"Uh-huh!" Xilingchen nodded obediently, he was ready to make soy sauce for a while.

It took a long time to go to the mission site, the off-road vehicle first went forward on autopilot, galloped on the highway for more than an hour, and then left the highway into the mountains, and turned around in the mountains for more than two hours, and finally stopped in a small mountain village, there is a reception center in the small mountain village, but the two did not go to rest, Zhuang Xue took the car very well, and left on foot with Xilingchen.

Need to climb the mountain, can't drive.

The mission location is in this big mountain, Zhuang Xue has a locator, which can determine the general direction, and both of them have changed their combat equipment before departure, Xilingchen is wearing a G15 dark night combat uniform, holding an assault rifle in his hand, and Zhuang Xue's clothes are more advanced.

In addition to weapons and equipment, they also wore tactical helmets with night vision devices and the like, and the forest at night was pitch black, and it was difficult to see the surroundings clearly without wearing night vision devices.

"Gone."

As soon as the task began, Zhuang Xue became very calm, without the usual shyness and nervousness, as if she had completely changed into a person.

Calm and sharp, a natural warrior, Zhuang Xue walked in front, Xi Lingchen followed behind her, without any conversation, if it weren't for the sound of stepping on the ground and walking through the woods, the two of them would be like ghosts in the forest.

Over the mountains and mountains, little by little towards the mission area.

When she was about to reach the target, Xiao Ling's detector suddenly made a discovery, and she immediately said in the Xilingchen Spirit World: "The annihilation energy has been scanned, the energy level is level three, it has erosion characteristics, and the specific energy source cannot be detected, it is certain that there are traces of the activities of a large number of annihilation units here." ”

"I knew it wasn't that simple......"

Xilingchen was very speechless after hearing this, what about touching the fish? How did the annihilation unit appear!

"Haha......"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Come on, master, I'll continue to work." ”

After saying that, she stopped talking, although there was an annihilation unit, Xiao Ling was not worried about the safety of her master at all, so she continued to study how to establish Void Communication.

Xilingchen and Zhuang Xue advanced in the forest, at first, there were insects and birds chirping around, but as they continued to advance, these sounds gradually disappeared, and the annihilation monsters hidden in the shadows also appeared at this time, humanoid units, with intelligence, these mutant units did not attack after they appeared, and they didn't even approach, just scouting far away.

From this it can be determined that either the individual has intelligence, or there is a command unit.

"Teacher......" Xilingchen opened his mouth to remind: "Don't you think there is something wrong?" ”

"What?"

After hearing this, Zhuang Xue looked around, and didn't find anything, the surroundings were dark, and the tactical helmet didn't detect any dangerous creatures, but since Xilingchen said so, there must be something to discover.

As a Valkyrie with quite a lot of combat experience, Zhuang Xue will not miss any useful information, even if it is a guess.

"What did you find?"

"Nope."

Xilingchen shook his head and said, "But I always feel that something is not right." ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Xue patted Xiling Chen's shoulder: "Let's be careful, maybe there are really monsters nearby, be ready to fight at any time." ”

"Okay!"

The two of them continued to move forward, and after crossing a mountain, Zhuang Xue finally determined that there was a situation here, because a forest not far away was polluted, and this pollution was annihilation and erosion, if it reached a certain level, there would be mutations in it, and monsters would spawn from the polluted area, seeing the situation in the forest, Zhuang Xue immediately took out a communication to contact the military.

When I opened it, I found that there was no signal at all, and the communication was interfered with.

"Communication doesn't work."

"Mine can't be used either." Xilingchen said.

Zhuang Xue thought for a while and looked at Xiling Chen: "Let's go and take a look, it's on the periphery, if there are traces of mutant monsters, leave, if not, we will scout around the polluted area." ”

Xilingchen nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Each checked the equipment, and the two set off again, if it was a real annihilation, it would definitely be eroded, but the annihilation here was weakened, and the magicians had a certain resistance, so they were able to resist, and as soon as the two of them came to the edge of the polluted area, mutant monsters appeared, and a group of them appeared directly.

"Not good! Come on! "The tactical helmet shows mutated units in all directions.

"We seem to be surrounded." Xilingchen said.

At this time, they didn't care about hiding, so the two of them took out their weapons and started shooting, but the number of monsters was too much, and the terrain in the forest was complicated, so they couldn't solve the monsters that appeared.

Zhuang Xue looked around, grabbed Xilingchen and said, "We entered the polluted area, there are not many monsters inside, pass it over." ”

"Okay."

Entering the polluted area, the monsters that surrounded him stopped, and there seemed to be no intention of keeping up, Zhuang Xue broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this, there are only a few possibilities for this situation, and these possibilities are quite dangerous!

"Fire a distress flare!"

As she spoke, Zhuang Xue took out a pistol that fired a flare from the space ring, and shot it at the sky.

The flare was successfully shot, but it was not so simple, when the flare rose to more than 200 meters in the air, a darkness appeared and knocked the flare down.

Zhuang Xue saw this scene and exclaimed, "Flying monster! ”

"Hiss......"

There was a terrible sound from behind, it seemed to be some kind of large monster, Zhuang Xue didn't care about being surprised, and pulled Xilingchen to continue to escape.

Xilingchen had already sensed it, but he couldn't remind him, but fortunately, Zhuang Xue reacted quickly, and the two continued to flee, and the monster hidden in the shadows was also alarmed, and chased after him with a low voice.

At this time, an accident happened, and the two of them stepped lightly and stepped on the air!

The entire ground collapsed, and in the exclamation, Xilingchen and Zhuang Xue fell, while the huge creature that chased after them stopped at the collapse and did not come down.

When falling, Zhuang Xue held Xilingchen in his arms, and the two of them tumbled and fell, fortunately, the collapse was not vertical, but had a certain angle, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Zhuang Xue opened a magic shield to protect the two of them, and they tumbled and fell for half a minute, and the magic shield hit the stone.

"Are you alright?"

Such a fall could not hurt Zhuang Xue, but Xilingchen's level was not high, so after stopping, Zhuang Xue got up to check Xilingchen's injury.

Xiling Chen pretended to be a little blind, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

"No injuries, right? Where does it hurt? ”

"Nope."

Helped up by Zhuang Xue, the two of them cautiously observed the surroundings, there was no moonlight here, it was almost dark, and even the range that the night vision device could see was very close, only a dozen meters, Zhuang Xue quickly made a discovery, there seemed to be traces of man-made construction not far away, it seemed to be an underground facility, she walked over with Xilingchen.

It is a corridor that has been smashed by a boulder, and the corridor does not have any energy supply, but it looks new and is not an ancient structure.

"Let's be careful, go in first to prevent the giant monsters from attacking us." Zhuang Xue said.

Unknown underground structure.

Xiling Chen could be sure that this was not a divine power facility, because he did not feel divine power, so this place should have been built by some secret force on this planet.

The two of them walked along the corridor, and after a while, they found some light, which was an emergency light source, through the structure of the corridor and the facility, Zhuang Xue judged: "It should be some kind of laboratory, this corridor seems to be connecting the laboratory and the warehouse." ”

"Do you want to keep going?" Xi Lingchen asked.

"Well, tomorrow at noon, if the academy does not receive the news of our return, it will notify the military, and the support will come in the afternoon, during this period, we have to protect ourselves, the laboratories are closed, there will not be many monsters here, even if there are monsters, they are small size, compared to the outside, this is the safest."

As a student, Xilingchen could only be obedient, so he followed Zhuang Xue and began to explore this unknown underground research facility.

Based on experience, this underground research facility was built in 300 years and is now in standby mode, and the energy is still being supplied, which means that there are still researchers here, and there are people who manage it, and even if there is no one to manage it, there may be artificial intelligence.

Not long after walking, the two of them came to the real laboratory, the laboratory with a circular structure.

Zhuang Xue used the equipment to turn on the lights in the hall, and then the two took off their tactical helmets, the circular laboratory has a total of seven floors, the periphery is the laboratory, and in the middle is a very beautiful magic tree, white, red, pink, green and other colored petals, this tree is more than ten meters high, exuding a strong magical atmosphere.

The current location of the two of them is on the fifth floor of the laboratory, and judging by the nearby door number, this is a biological laboratory.

"Without people, intelligent systems should also be on standby." Zhuang Xue said.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Xi Lingchen asked.

Zhuang Xue nodded.

It seems that there is no danger here, there is no aura of annihilation, and the annihilation erosion on the ground has not yet reached the underground laboratory, indicating that the laboratory's defense mechanism is still operating.

And the fact that the lab doesn't have an access control system means that the people who can work here, or who are doing research, can be trusted, and it's likely that the whole lab is working towards one goal.

The two of them casually entered a laboratory, and found that the facilities here were all in good condition, and there were documents on the table, all of which had been sorted out, and it could be judged by observation that the researchers here left in an orderly manner, and there was no accident, and through some documents, the research project of the laboratory could also be judged, which was an artificial research base.

Mutants, new humans, cyborgs, whatever you want to call them.

The important information has been taken away, and the information left behind is useless, Xiling Chen has no interest in artificial people, and according to Xiao Ling's scanning, there is no breath of life here, he is interested in the magic tree in the middle.

This is a very rare tree, according to the level, it should be around level one hundred and thirty, and it is very surprising that a level one hundred and thirty tree appeared in a world below level 100.

"It's so beautiful." Zhuang Xue walked over and said.

After hearing this, Xiling Chen nodded: "Well, cultivating here is much faster than other places, and the magic power is so strong." ”

Zhuang Xue looked around and said: "This tree is not transplanted, but originally here, the laboratory is built around this tree, there is a magic collector on the wall, even if there is no energy supply, this laboratory can be operated, but why evacuate?" If I were the boss of some secret organization, I would definitely take advantage of this environment. ”

Why leave, it must have happened that the lab had to leave, and this kind of thing is not dangerous, but it can affect the entire lab.

"Boss."

Just when Xiling Chen and Zhuang Xue were chatting, Xiao Ling suddenly said: "I have scanned the fluctuation of divine power, there seems to be something related to divine power inside this tree, it is definitely at the level of a true god, in addition, it seems that there is a weak signal that wants to communicate with you, I am searching, trying to connect." ”
