On the square outside the gate of the Lord's Mansion of Hope City, the team standing solemnly and ready, it is time to return to the Steel City, it is necessary to gather forces as soon as possible, open up the passage to the grain depot, and carry back the grain, now the food in the Steel City is running out, and the population of nearly two million, once the food is cut off, the consequences will be devastating.

On the square, Hua Yan was wearing a tiger demon armor, holding a wind spirit blood sword in one hand, standing on a step at the gate of the city lord's mansion, looking at the lineup below with a solemn face, this time in addition to the team from the steel city, two thousand armored combat vehicles were also transferred from the hope city, all equipped with new laser cannons.

After supporting the robot base last time, Elle also shared the technology of the laser cannon on the brain network, and then the Hope City side was also upgraded, and the vitality of the vehicle was greatly improved.

When they came out of the City of Steel, the team of 500 soul people had lost nearly two hundred, and the vehicles of the convoy had also lost nearly one-third, and these personnel and equipment had been replenished in the City of Hope, and the City of Hope had also supported 10,000 sets of ordinary model mechanical armor in the City of Hope.

These are all equipment that is urgently needed in the city of steel, and in order to carry these mechanical armor, more than 200 large trucks have been added to the fleet, plus 2,000 armored combat vehicles, so that the team is much larger than when it came out of the city of steel.

Standing in the front row were Hong Zhan and Shi Feng, still ten rune powerhouses, and behind them were five hundred soul powerhouses, at this time they were all wearing mechanical armor, holding long swords, and then two thousand armored laser cannon combat vehicles, and finally a convoy of more than two hundred trucks.

The whole team looks like a torrent composed of steel and machinery, out of prudence, the time of departure Hua Yan deliberately chose the morning light, hoping to find a safe place to camp in the demon beast forest as soon as possible, in the dark clouds of the sky, revealing a touch of red, reflected on the silver mechanical armor, shining, Hua Yan swept the entire square on the steps, and his heart couldn't help but surge a sense of pride.

On the side of the steps, Liu Haitao, Xiao Li, Han Meng, Hua Sihai, Cai Bin, Cai Changhe, Cai Xinxin and others also came to see off Hua Yan.

"Brothers! Gone!"

Hua Yan shouted on the steps, then waved his hand, and the convoy began to slowly drive out of the square, and then he also walked down.

"Uncle Huayan, you have to come back early, Xinxin will miss you~"

Cai Xinxin shouted after seeing Hua Yan coming down.

At this time, Hua Yan walked over and held Cai Xinxin's little face with both hands and said:

"Well, uncle must come back early, Xiao Xinxin has to be well-behaved~"

At this time, Liu Haitao and Xiao Li next to them all laughed, Cai Xinxin became the second rune powerhouse in Hope City some time ago, following Xiao Li, don't look at it as just an eleven-year-old girl, and her strength has exceeded that of most adults.

"Third child, be careful all the way!"

At this time, Liu Haitao also came over and said in a deep voice.

"Well, don't worry, boss, I'll leave it to you here, I'm leaving!"

Hua Yan nodded heavily and said, after finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Xiao Li and the others, and stepped onto the Tiger Jiao chariot next to him in a few steps, the Tiger Jiao chariot was more than ten meters long, and the space inside was very large, Hong Zhan and Shi Feng also followed into the cab.

The other ten rune powerhouses were in the back compartment, which didn't look crowded even though they were wearing mechanical armor, and the stone statue of the demon was fixed to the top of the body with an iron frame.

Leaving the square, the long convoy stretched for a kilometer or two, after leaving Hope City, the Tiger Jiao Chariot quickly overtook the team in front of it, walked to the front of the convoy, and then slowed down, after the convoy left Hope City, it readjusted the formation, and two thousand armored laser cannon chariots escorted more than two hundred trucks in the middle, and five hundred soul people wearing mechanical armor also entered the truck compartment.

In the wilderness around Hope City, after repeated hunting by humans, the mutated beasts have also decreased a lot, and there is basically no danger, in the cockpit of the Tiger Jiao Chariot, Hua Yan, Hong Zhan and Shi Feng are all relatively relaxed at this time.

Shi Feng simply lifted his face armor, picked up the long sword in one hand, and cut open a melon brought out from Hope City, hoping that fresh vegetables and fruits can be grown in the city now, these things have now become the top luxury, and he can eat fresh melons after the end of the world, which makes Shi Feng enjoy it very much.

The speed of the team in front of them was very fast, and before noon, they had already entered the edge of the Demon Beast Forest, Hong Zhan also began to concentrate at this time, staring directly at the screen of the over-the-horizon life detector, Shi Feng also began to put away the relaxed look on his face, and pulled down the mask armor on the mechanical armor.

The tiger Jiao chariot opened the road in front, and many of the blue-black deformed trees along the road were directly broken by Hua Yan's car, crushing the past, creating good traffic conditions for the huge convoy behind, and the rumbling sound along the way also attracted the attention of many demon beasts, and began to converge in the direction of the convoy.

However, after these monsters approached the convoy, most of them scattered again after seeing the demon stone statue on the roof of the Tiger Jiao Chariot, and occasionally a small number of monsters that launched an attack were also instantly ignited by the laser cannon on the armored chariot, and then torn to pieces.

After entering the Demon Beast Forest, the sky became darker and darker, in order to take care of the formation of the entire convoy, Hua Yan also slowed down the speed of the Tiger Jiao Chariot, and the convoy behind slowly followed behind, and after entering the Demon Beast Forest, he advanced for another twenty or thirty kilometers and came to a valley, where he met the Saber-toothed Demon Tiger last time.

The terrain here is very dangerous, Hua Yan had some worries, parked the car, and the convoy behind also followed closely to stop and standby.

"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?"

Hua Yan looked at Hong Zhan with a somewhat solemn face and asked.

"I haven't seen it yet."

Hong Zhan shook his head slightly.

Hua Yan was a little uneasy, holding the Wind Spirit Blood Sword in one hand, he walked down from the Tiger Jiao chariot, looked at both sides of the valley for a while, and finally his eyes fell on a high platform halfway up the mountain, which was the location where the saber-toothed demon tiger ambushed him last time.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is dangerous, it is an excellent place to establish a stronghold fortress, and if you want to open up a trade route between Hope City and Steel City in the future, these are essential, last time you fought all the way, there was no time to investigate the terrain and figure out these, this time Hua Yan silently recorded these more important terrain along the way.

Hua Yan turned on his perception and flew around, but he didn't find any ambush, so he re-entered the cockpit of the Tiger Jiao chariot, and the team began to move forward slowly, and after passing this valley, it basically entered the hinterland of the Demon Beast Forest.

It's already afternoon, Hua Yan is ready to enter the last kobold tribe camp before dark, that cave is also a good place to camp, walking through the demon beast forest, itself is full of all kinds of dangers, this danger will increase exponentially at night, for the sake of safety, Hua Yan does not plan to rush at night.

"Director Hua, what do you think this is?"

As he approached the kobold tribal camp, Hong Zhan shouted.

Hua Yan also hurriedly stopped the car and looked at the screen of the over-the-horizon life detector handed over by Hong Zhan.

It shows two humanoid creatures, taller than ordinary humans, close to two meters, blue all over, with pointed ears, a little close to the alien image in the movie "Avatar", except that their mouths are protruding forward, and their teeth seem to have spikes, somewhat similar to the mouth of a demon.

"What is this?"

Hua Yan was also secretly frightened, and said to himself.

Shi Feng also leaned over to take a look, and then said:

"This should be a more intelligent race than kobolds, kobolds have developed tribal civilization in such a short period of time, will this blue humanoid race be even more terrifying?"

Hua Yan nodded and said:

"Chances are, you guys are here first, and I'll go down and have a look!"

After speaking, Hua Yan jumped down from the Tiger Jiao chariot with his sword, and opened his senses to get closer to the two blue humanoid creatures, but Hua Yan searched for a while, but found no trace of them.

Hua Yan didn't dare to leave the convoy too far, so he could only return in a huff, and after returning to the car, he asked Hong Zhan, and the screen of the over-the-horizon life detector did not find their images, and it seemed that they had been out of the scope of monitoring.

Soon the convoy entered the previous kobold tribe camp and stopped, although the entire camp had been burned and destroyed by Hua Yan last time, but some firewood could still be found, and the cave was still enough for the convoy to camp.

"Order, camp here tonight!"

After getting out of the car, Hua Yan said to Hong Zhan beside him.

"Yes!"

Hong Zhan saluted, and then began to issue orders to the various commanders in the convoy.

Although there was no decent attack along the road, the people of the entire convoy were still very careful, and the two blue humanoid creatures also made Hua Yan worried, it is very likely that there is a group of civilized creatures in the demon beast forest whose intelligence is not inferior to that of humans, and I don't know how far these blue humanoid creatures have developed.

This matter began to cast a shadow on Hua Yan's heart.

Soon 2,000 chariots were arranged in a layered fan around the entrance of the cave, forming a temporary defensive formation, and in order to prevent a surprise attack, the people in the armored laser cannon chariot did not all come out to camp in the cave, but took turns to stay in the chariot and be on duty.

The others went into the cave and lit a bonfire, and a group of soul people gathered around the bonfire, whispering from time to time and talking about the experiences of the day, many of them still entering the monster forest for the first time.

Soon the cave began to hear a dense snoring sound, and at night in the Demon Beast Forest, there was the howl of the iron-backed demon wolf from time to time, as well as the sound of the demon beast fighting, but they did not approach Hua Yan's camp, maybe it was the effect of the Demon Stone Statue.
