In the wilderness, a bus is speeding away.

Spacious inside the bus.

Xia Zhi sat on the seat in the first row, closing his eyes and resting.

Du Mu and Luo Shen sat in the double seats in the third row, in addition to Chi Xiangzhen and Jing Lei, the two of them sat in the back.

There was silence inside the bus, except for the sound of the driving cars, everyone remained silent and silent.

On the window seat, Du Mu held his chin and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

Since Luo Shen brought the news of the actual combat mission two days ago, Du Mu made a special trip to find Xia Zhi and planned to apply to participate in the mission.

To his surprise, Xia Zhi didn't hesitate at all, and approved his application on the spot, along with Luo Shen, Chi Xiangzhen and Jing Lei.

Basically, they are all elite freshmen whose strength ranks among the top in this session.

Knowing that it was Xia Zhi who led the team, Du Shuang hesitated for a while, but finally didn't stop Du Mu, but just pulled him to tell him the precautions for the actual combat mission.

The meeting point was in a market town in the west near the border, and everyone had two days to prepare.

Under Du Shuang's guidance, Du Mu quickly prepared all the supplies.

Before leaving, he gave Du Shuang the copied iron and the cultivation tips for returning life.

This is what he had thought of before, and he taught Du Shuang the martial arts he had learned in his dreams, some of which would not be too unbelievable.

Du Shuang's combat system has been formed, and she has her own fighting style, sword skills like sharp claws or flash piercing may not be suitable for her, and if she really wants to practice, it will be distracting.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Du Mu decided to return his life and transfer the iron to Du Shuang.

The former is a meditation training method that can strengthen perception and body control, and the latter is a powerful defensive body technique, which can play a perfect role in Du Shuang's combat system without having too much impact, which can be said to be very suitable.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the skill of the Pole Breaking Blade was too shocking, Du Mu would also want to give it to his sister.

For now, I had to give up.

Du Shuang was very surprised by Du Mu's offer, but after the former brought out the mentor who had allowed this big killing weapon, she finally accepted it happily.

......

The body shook, pulling Du Mu back from his trance.

He looked up and saw that the bus had stopped at some point, and there was a sparse building in front of him, which seemed to be a market town.

"It's here. Xia Zhi in the first row got up, turned his head and smiled at a few people, "Let's get out of the car." ”

Outside the car is a desolate sandy land, the vast loess sand and stones are connected with the sky at the end, far away, except for the wind and sand fluttering everywhere, only scattered thorns and dead trees remain.

"It's so desolate!" Akakoma's eyes widened, as if he had never seen such a scene.

Hearing this, Du Mu glanced at her, but he didn't mean to laugh, to be honest, he had never seen this kind of sandy scenery, and he had always been confined to the small world of Haoguang City.

The endless sand and gravel wilderness and the blue and clear sky, the combination of the two gives people an inexplicable sense of shock for some reason.

"If I hadn't gone to Wuke University, maybe I wouldn't have come to this kind of place for the rest of my life, right?" Du Mu's mind suddenly flashed this thought.

"The first time I saw it, it was really a novelty. ”

A sudden voice came from the side, interrupting everyone's reverie.

A few people turned their heads to look, and a young man in a federal uniform, with dark skin and a strong breath, walked towards them with a smile on his face.

"But after watching it for a long time, it will feel very boring. The young man smiled at everyone, immediately looked at Xia Zhi who was in the lead, and stretched out his hand, "You are Mentor Xia Zhi, right?"

"My name is Helian Jing, I belong to the 3rd Division of the Falcon Legion, and I am the person in charge of this pursuit operation!"

Du Mu glanced at the military badge on Helian Jing's shoulder, the rank of second lieutenant.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant He. Xia Zhi shook his hand.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Helian Jing pointed to the market town not far away, and said with a smile: "It's windy here, let's go into the town and talk again." ”

"Good. ”

The group stepped into the town.

This remote town on the northern border of the Union looks very backward, with uneven gravel roads and buildings on both sides of the buildings that are mainly brick and stone houses that are not even painted.

There are not many residents in the town, they are dressed plainly, and most of their faces have the vicissitudes of life that have been exposed to the wind and sun.

Backward, simple, but quiet and safe, is the first feeling that this town gives Du Mu.

It is hard to imagine that there are such towns in the Federation, let alone compared with the bustling capital, even Haoguang City, as a third-tier city, is more than ten times more prosperous and noisy than here.

Along the way, the gaze of many eyes made Chi Xiangzhen feel unnatural, and Jing Lei frowned slightly.

Soon, under the leadership of Helian Jing, the group arrived at a courtyard.

Compared to the outside, the courtyard is completely two worlds, many soldiers in military uniforms walk briskly, interspersed with a few doctors and nurses in white coats hurrying by, and there seems to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

Du Mu's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that there were many wounded people lying in some rooms.

Arriving in an empty room, Helian beckoned everyone to sit down.

"Sorry, it's a bit rudimentary. ”

Xia Zhi shook his head: "It's okay, we're here to assist in the mission, not to travel." ”

Hearing this, Helian Jing smiled, and immediately his smile retracted, and he turned to a solemn expression.

"Because the situation is more urgent, I won't be polite to you, and now I will explain to you the content of this assistance mission!" he went straight to the point.

When the words fell, Du Mu and the others looked solemn, revealing the appearance of listening attentively.

Before coming here, they had actually learned the approximate content of the mission from Xia Zhi.

Just five days ago, a terrorist group called 'Kuroba' attacked a military transport convoy, killing many soldiers, not to mention all the supplies, and causing considerable losses to the military.

Subsequently, the military contacted the Star Luo Academy, hoping that they could send students to assist.

As for what happened in the middle, as well as more specific details, Du Mu and others have no way of knowing.

"After receiving the news of the attack, we immediately sent our men to catch up with the attacker's tail and fight hard!" Helian Jing's eyes twitched, obviously the battle he was talking about, the military suffered a lot of losses.

"In that battle, more than eighty percent of the attackers were killed by us, and the remnants fled to the town of Guyan, twelve kilometers away, hiding, relying on the terrain to maneuver around us!"

"We searched for many days, but we couldn't catch them, but we lost a lot of manpower, so in desperation, we came to seek the assistance of Star Luo Academy!"

"Guyan Town?" Xia Zhi said in surprise, "The ruins of the town left over from the Hundred Years War?"
