Chapter 16: Departure

Morning is the quietest time in a city, there is no daytime bustle, no night revelry, only the sound of comfortable sleeping breathing and the busy figure of some industrious or hard-working people.

The sky had not yet fully lit up, and there were several teams standing at the north gate of Yueyang City, all of which were monster hunter teams gathered at the north gate to carry out tasks.

Compared with the steel city wall dozens of meters high, they are like swarms of ants, but it is these ants who fight and fight with foreign beasts one after another, so that Yueyang City, a huge steel beast, can develop steadily and become a paradise for survivors.

Under a big tree outside the North City Gate, there is a place where Duan Yating's team and "foreign aid" Liang Zhijin gathered, and an off-road vehicle loaded with a protective unit was parked next to it. Duan Yating's team can only be regarded as a type team, the team name is "Thorn Flower Team", and Liang Zhijin is only 7 people.

"This is the foreign aid of this mission, Liang Zhijin, a middle-level general-level martial artist. Duan Yating, who was in the mission state, returned to her usual role as a strong woman, with a cold and powerful voice, and was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, giving people a capable feeling. "I'll introduce you to the rest of the team. “

"Scout Zhang Qing, nicknamed Yan Qing, is a high-ranking general. "Zhang Qing, as a scout in the team, is not tall, but he gives people a short and concise feeling, with two short swords behind him, he should be a martial artist who is good at speed and melee combat. Zhang Qing, who was named, nodded at Liang Zhijin, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Vulcan Yu Dong, the firepower suppressor in the team, a high-level general", Yu Dong is a tall body, almost two meters three tall, with strong muscles and thick hair, more like a humanoid black bear, but Yu Dong is loaded with a single exoskeleton, and the exoskeleton is loaded with all kinds of heavy firepower weapons, and in the left hand is a six-barreled Gatling machine, and the unique metal texture of the gun gives people a sense of murderous intent.

When Liang Zhijin looked at Yu Dong, Yu Dong grinned and said with a rough smile: "I heard that the captain said that you have a lot of strength, do you have a chance to compare?"

"When I develop a few more years and compare myself to you, I'm just an adult. Liang Zhijin pretended to be modest and said, after all, he was working under someone else, and it was very advantageous to be low-key.

Duan Yating rolled her eyes at the two of them, not knowing whether it was Yu Dong or Liang Zhijin, and then continued to say to the next short-haired tall woman with a good face and a hot body: "Sniper Yan Zhen, nicknamed Poison Needle, high-level general." ”

Although she is a woman, you can know that this is definitely not a simple character just by her nickname and Zhang Qingli's attitude twenty meters away, and her height of one meter seven is extremely incongruous with a gun bag of the same length as her height.

"Aside from me, Yan Zhen is also the only person in the team who has the ability to kill a king-level beast alone. Duan Yating added.

Then Duan Yating introduced to the last man, who was also the man that Liang Zhijin secretly paid the most attention to-

"He Ling, High King Rank"

"What?high-level king-level?" Liang Zhijin was a little surprised, the king-level was another level of martial artist compared to the general-level, not to mention the high-level king-level, and just said that Yan Zhen was the only one in the team other than Duan Yating who had the ability to kill the king-level beast alone, so this high-level king-level He Ling

"I'm not very good at fighting, I'm a doctor by profession. He Ling was a young man in his twenties, his smile was still a little shy, and he smiled at Liang Zhijin: "I heard that Captain Duan said that you are very powerful, and I hope to take care of you more." ”

"He Ling is a family of medicine, he is actually talented, he reached the king level at the age of eighteen, and at that time he was shocked by the entire Yueyang City, but he was not very good at fighting, so his own strength and evolution cultivation level do not match, but his achievements in medical skills can be really strong. Duan Yating said in a slightly proud tone.

But he couldn't save the second brother's hand. He Ling said a little gloomily.

"But you saved their lives, didn't you, cheer up!" Duan Yating habitually touched He Ling's head, and her young face was full of kindness, making Liang Zhijin feel that Duan Yating was a cat sick, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

"Finally, my sister, Huang Doudou, is a high-ranking soldier. ”

Looking at this radish head that pit himself yesterday, Liang Zhijin said a little strangely: "Aren't soldier-level martial artists not allowed to go out of the city to perform tasks?"

"It's just the opposite of my situation, although Sister Doudou only has a soldier-level evolutionary cultivation level, her own combat power is comparable to that of a general-level martial artist, and she is an out-and-out genius," He Ling explained.

"Slightly" Huang Doudou stuck out his tongue at Liang Zhijin, full of like a minor Lori, although the other party is not much better than Liang Zhijin.

After a brief introduction, the seven of them got into an off-road vehicle and set off for the outskirts of the suburbs.

Generally speaking, fifty kilometers around the satellite city belongs to the suburbs, and there are generally only soldier-level and a small number of general-level alien beasts in this range, because there are many of them, so it is not realistic to want to wipe them all out.

Therefore, the suburbs are generally reserved for low-level martial artists to hone and fight, and fifty kilometers to two hundred kilometers belong to the outer suburbs, and most of the weapons in this range are still soldier-level beasts, but they exist in groups in the form of ethnic groups, and look at the size of the ethnic group to determine whether there are high-level general-level or even king-level alien beasts.

And two hundred kilometers away belongs to the category of the wild, and it is really a forbidden area for most martial artists. All kinds of powerful beasts and fantasy monsters from other dimensions are entrenched in the wild, and the traces of human beings have almost been erased.

It is in this treacherous environment that the human survivor base is strong and blossoms into the flower of civilization.

The target of the Thorn Flower Team's trip was the outer suburbs about 100 kilometers north of Yueyang City, and Duan Yating said that they were going to hunt a beginner-level king-level beast. However, a beginner-level king-level alien beast should be able to handle it easily, even if the Thorn Flower Team is not fully staffed now. I don't know why I have to call Liang Zhijin, I feel that the mission goal should not be as simple as a king-level beast.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Thorn Bird team drove the car to a military outpost fifty kilometers away, the outpost is the first layer of barrier in the human base city, generally stationed on the dividing line between the suburbs and the outer suburbs, the meaning of their existence is to observe the distribution of alien beast populations in the outer suburbs, if there is a tide of alien beasts, they can report to the satellite city in time to be vigilant, and it is also a supply point for high-level martial artists.

The vehicle and some of the excess supplies on it were stored at the military outpost, and then at ten o'clock, the heavily armed Hungry Thorn Bird team left the supply post and entered the outer suburbs.

"Yan Zhen, give Yu Dong your gun bag with you. Duan Yating said.

"Good. Yan Zhen replied briefly.

Looking at Yu Dong, who was carrying the whole team/> supplies like a mountain and carrying a large number of weapons himself, Liang Zhijin was speechless, this is simply a humanoid mechanical monster!

As for Liang Zhijin's surprise, Duan Yating also gave an explanation. All the mystery lies in Yu Dong's individual exoskeleton - Hercules 4, which is the latest individual exoskeleton publicly sold in the world today, using a miniature nuclear reactor as a power source, you can install weapon units according to your needs, and the price is more than 200,000 credits, which is not something that ordinary people can play, but the effect is also obvious, greatly improving the strength and combat ability and load capacity of individual soldiers.

In Zhang Qing's words, it is-

"Don't look at him carrying so many things, but in fact, he is the easiest one to run long distances!"
