Chapter 308: Blocking Supply Lines

Back in the front hall, Qi Lin found that the mercenaries who had been in groups were all crowded to the front desk, discussing something very lively, and from time to time someone looked up at the huge electronic screen behind the front stage, and then continued to argue fiercely with his companions.

"What's going on?"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, looked up at the electronic screen, and saw that in the most conspicuous place, a task message was scrolling back and forth-

"Mission: Block the supply line of Yamato Heavy Industries in the Gray Ridge Mountains, end a total of sixteen supply points, and hold on for a week, the 4th Power Armored Battalion of the Consortium Alliance will cover the mercenaries participating in this mission on the flank."

"Reward for participating in the mission (available after participating in the mission): A week's standard supply of food, water, medicine, and ammunition."

"Reward for completing the mission (the reward for killing the enemy player will be calculated separately): 15,000 resource points for each player who participates in the mission, and the League of Outstanding Performers will have additional rewards."

"Number of participants in this mission: 79/200."

And just as Qi Lin was reading the content of this task, the 79 of the number of participants jumped up a few more places, becoming 115.

"Blocking supply lines?" Qi Lin thought about it for a while, and then he knew why the arguments among the players were so fierce - the frontal battle had not yet begun, and there were only some small fights and frictions in the border areas between the two sides, and at this time, if the alliance suddenly sent a mercenary to cut off the supply line of Yamato Heavy Industries, the Gray Ridge Mountain Range would inevitably become the focus of the entire war zone.

Even, with the involvement of the supply line blocking station, a head-on battle between the consortium alliance and Daiwa Heavy Industries may start early.

This move of the alliance can be said to affect the whole body.

Blocking the supply line was definitely not an easy task, and Qi Lin was a little puzzled why the top leaders of the alliance would choose to hand over this task to the mercenaries to complete.

Will...... Is it a trap?

But if it's a trap, what's the point of setting it?

Could it be that some Dongying spy who infiltrated the upper echelons of the alliance managed to release this mission in order to consume the alliance's living forces?

Qi Lin shook his head slightly, feeling that this possibility was almost zero. Not to mention that the top level of the alliance can see through this simple trap at a glance, even if they are really fooled, then the loss is only two hundred mercenaries and a battalion of power armored troops, which will hardly have any impact on the entire battle situation.

"Greyridge Mountains...... Is there anything special about this place? ”

Qi Lin opened the electronic map of the permafrost tundra in his brain and entered the place name "Gray Ridge Mountains" into it.

The center of the map instantly moved to the position that Qi Lin wanted to see, and saw that this "Gray Ridge Mountain Range" was located on the south side of the three machinery factories of Yamato Heavy Industries, and the terrain was narrow and steep, separating the entire eastern plain from a large hilly area to the south.

The Gray Ridge mountain range stretched for more than a dozen kilometers into the hinterland of the Far East, and the supply line of Daiwa Heavy Industries was established along the course of this mountain range, with a total of sixteen supply points set up at the foot of the mountain, connecting the three machine shops in the eastern plains with the large rear.

If the mercenaries wanted to attack this supply line, they would have to cross the hilly area to the south and then over the steep Greyridge Mountains.

Although this may seem like a difficult road, if you attack from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it will be a great advantage for the mercenaries of the Alliance.

The only difficulty in the mission is that after capturing these sixteen supply depots, it will take a week.

It is conceivable that in this week, how much combat power Yamato Heavy Industries will send to the Gray Ridge Mountain region in order to recapture this critical supply line, even with the Alliance's power armored forces involved on the side, it will definitely be a hellish week.

The reward given by the alliance cannot be said to be low, fifteen thousand resource points, even these elite mercenaries need to spend at least a month to earn, and in this month, maybe someone will kill them.

The number of people participating in the mission soon exceeded 150, and at this time, the speed of the increase in the number suddenly increased - the mercenaries present obviously had a sense of urgency, for fear that after they made up their minds, the task places would be snatched up.

"If it's a trap...... Then it shouldn't be a problem to get out by yourself......"

Qi Lin made up his mind, and squeezed into the crowd with great difficulty, squeezing towards the front desk-

"Number of participants in this mission: 198/200."

"Sign up!"

"Count me in!"

Just when there were only the last two places left, Qi Lin finally squeezed to the front desk and raised a hand, and at the same time, five meters away on the right hand, a familiar voice also shouted.

"The number of participants in the mission is saturated, the registration process has been suspended, and the mercenaries who have successfully signed up should wait for the notification of the next plan in the camp." The manager in charge of releasing the task said loudly, while Qi Lin turned his head and looked at the guy on the right who signed up with him.

And that guy was also staring at Qi Lin with burning eyes.

Insect Master.

"Why did you come here?" Qi Lin asked in a deep voice, he suddenly remembered that during the strength assessment, that officer said that he was the second third-level evolutionary to arrive at the camp today, could it be that the first third-level evolutionary was this guy?

"I'd like to ask too......" The insect master smiled a little weirdly, "but we're teammates now, so I suggest you don't mess around." ”

"That's what I should have said......"

"One to the other...... Goodbye, then, the Greyridge Mountains. The insect master waved his hand at Qi Lin, then took a step back, and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

"I didn't expect to be able to bump into him here, it's really a narrow road...... Qi Lin said secretly in his heart, and also left the front desk.

This guy is one of the few guys who can make Qi Lin feel threatened, not only because of the other party's powerful and weird strength, but also because of the unpredictable mystery on the other party - this guy, like a ghost, will emerge from the shadows every time Qi Lin is about to forget him, and every time he appears, this guy's strength will become stronger.

Coming out of the crowd, Qi Lin looked around the mission hall and found no trace of the insect master, which was expected by Qi Lin, this guy has always been elusive.

The permafrost of the permafrost tundra is harder than stones, and I don't know if the insects on the other side can still get out of the ground, if they are frozen to death...... Qi Lin had a bad taste, and turned his head and stepped into the material exchange office again - the mercenary who took this task could also receive a week's worth of supplies, although this little thing was not much, but it could not be wasted.

According to the instructions in the mission, the mercenaries who take over the mission only need to wait in the camp, and there will naturally be a convoy to carry them to the mission location.

Two hundred mercenaries, sixteen supply points, evenly divided into almost every twelve to thirteen mercenaries responsible for one supply point.

According to the defense standards of Yamato Heavy Industries, there are generally only three or four human soldiers and about thirty mechanical soldiers in a supply point, and this defensive force is not a threat to these elite mercenaries in the camp at all.
