The distant mountain city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is said to be a city, but it is not really big. The vertical and horizontal is only about a kilometer. It's like a historic dock fort.

Due to the small number of people, although the city wall has been built, it is only twelve or thirteen meters high and four or five meters thick.

There is no obvious division in the city like a large base. But there are also three regions as a whole. Three or four hundred meters close to the city wall are simple buildings erected by ordinary people. Tents, thatched huts, shacks, and so on are scattered in a mess. After 400 meters into the city, there are relatively neat buildings. This is the area of activity for the able-bearer and the able-bodied's family. Ordinary people don't come here if they have nothing to do.

There is an area about 300 meters in diameter in the center of the city. This area is enclosed by a simple wall three or four meters high, indicating that this area is the brain center of Yuanshan Castle. The Castle Lord's Mansion and the mansions of important people in Toyama Castle are all within this range. The Ares Tower Stone Tablet is also in this range.

Don't look at the small number of people in the city, it is not lacking in the urban functions that it should have. In the activity area of the able, there are many pubs, restaurants, and inns. There is also a small trading market.

Liu Ping and his people stayed in a four-story hotel. This building was clearly built by the Mighty after the end of the world.

"Snow Fox, Gangzi, let's go out separately to find out the news. Remember, everyone else can see that we are outsiders. The city lord himself was once an elite soldier who had been on the battlefield before the end of the world, and he should not be underestimated. Maybe he's noticed us by now. Therefore do not act rashly, and do not cause trouble. See more, listen more, talk less. Don't ask just yet. We'll come back in the evening and we'll put together the news and look at the next steps. After settling down, the battalion commander Liu Ping began to arrange tasks for his subordinates.

In the evening, Liu Ping's team of 14 people gathered in the room set by Liu Ping. The living room of the room is more than 40 square meters, which can easily accommodate a gathering of more than a dozen people.

"Tell me what you investigated today? Snow Fox, you come first. Liu Ping said.

"Okay. Battalion commander, what I investigated is as follows: Lin Yuanshan and Jiang Lian and his wife seem to have awakened the gold and water abilities respectively on the day of the outbreak of the apocalypse. Their pet Daikoku also awakened the Wind ability that day. It is not yet known whether they evolved innate or acquired. However, according to the evaluation of the level increase speed of the two of them and one beast, they are most likely congenital evolutionaries. Snow Fox said.

'Hiss'

Everyone couldn't help but feel a toothache.

The combat power and combat endurance of the Innate Evolver are significantly higher than those of the Acquired Evolver. What's more, the acquired mutant beast is already very difficult to deal with. If it's a congenital mutant beast, then ......

"Can Lin Yuanshan and Jiang Lian's combat effectiveness make a preliminary assessment?" Liu Ping asked solemnly.

"Yes. Lin Yuanshan was originally a soldier who had been on the battlefield, and he had relatively rich combat experience and combat literacy. After the apocalypse, he basically fought continuously in order to establish a distant mountain city and rescue the people. There were several small base leaders with bad conduct nearby who tried in vain to capture Yuanshan City, but they were all defeated by Lin Yuanshan. He can be said to be the strongest master in the vicinity of one or two hundred miles. His current level should be the peak of the fourth-level upper level, just waiting for the fifth-level crystal nucleus to break through. Jiang Lian's ability attack power is not strong, and there are not many times to fight, so the combat effectiveness is not high. However, Jiang Lian's level is also the fourth level upper-level, and she has a relatively strong ability to protect herself. Moreover, Jiang Lian's ability has a healing effect, and he is the chief physician of Far Mountain City. Therefore, Jiang Lian's popularity in Yuanshan City was not lower than that of Lin Yuanshan. ”

With Snow Fox's introduction, everyone's brows furrowed even tighter.

"How's their convoy doing?" Liu Ping asked.

"There are more than 300 people in the City Lord's Mansion Guard. Lin Yuanshan organized it into a guard battalion. Yuanshan City is inclined to the guard battalion in the allocation of cultivation resources. Therefore, the rank of the soldiers of the escort battalion is above the fourth level. According to preliminary estimates, there should be no less than 30 people on the fourth level. Level 4 Intermediate is the mainstream level. ”

The team members were on the verge of despair. Although they are all fourth-level upper-level and elite abilities, their opponents are not weak. It can even be said that it is easy to crush them. This mission......

Snow Fox didn't seem to be shocked enough, and then threw out another bombshell news.

"If that's all it takes, we still have a chance to get the job done. After all, we don't need to fight with them. But I got a top-secret piece of news that almost made me despair. Snow Fox said gloomily.

"What's top secret?" Liu Ping asked nervously.

"Three days ago, a leopard suspected to be a fifth-level beginner came down from Zitong Mountain. At that time, more than a dozen city guards defending the city wall in the back mountain were killed. If the leopard breaks through the city wall and enters the Far Mountain City, there may not be many people left in the Far Mountain City. At the critical moment, Lin Yuanshan's war beast Da Hei arrived. Dahei and the leopard fought for five or six minutes, and almost collapsed the city wall. In the end, the leopard escaped with serious injuries. Daikoku is said to have suffered only some minor injuries. What does that mean, you say? ”

'Ahh

Liu Ping's team members finally despaired. Isn't it obvious that Da Hei defeated a fifth-level leopard? Big Black is a level 5 creature!

Fourth-level abilities can only pile up human lives in the face of fifth-level creatures. How many people are there here?

"There is no such news circulating in the Far Mountain City. It seems that Lin Yuanshan blocked the news for fear of causing panic. Snow Fox, how did you find out? Liu Ping asked.

Liu Ping himself also got a lot of news during the afternoon event. But he really didn't hear the slightest rumor of a fifth-level creature battle.

"Battalion commander, I got to know a gentleman by luck. This gentleman is called Jiang Xian. Although Jiang Xian is an ordinary person, he is Jiang Lian's own nephew. This Jiang Xian is a hungry ghost who has harmed many ordinary girls. Legend has it that some women have been victimized by him. After the leopard incident, Lin Yuanshan reported the matter to his relatives and asked them that they must not enter Zitong Mountain easily. Jiang Xian told this matter in order to show off in front of me. Snow Fox explained.

'Oh'

The team members looked at Snow Fox's beautiful face and perfect body, and showed a relieved expression.

"Snow Fox, you didn't suffer, did you?" Liu Ping asked a little nervously.

The snow fox is a flower in their ability camp, and they must not let an ordinary person take advantage of it.

All the team members looked at the snow fox with interest.

"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Jiang Xian is an ordinary person, how can he take advantage of me? Snow Fox looked at the worried eyes of his comrades and said with disgust.

"Then did he try to ...... you," Liu Ping said dryly.

"Hehe, there were a few times when he wanted to do something to me, but I fought back with a small means. Then he tried to seduce me again......" Snow Fox said proudly.

"He should have guards, right? You fight back against him, and his guards don't help? Someone said suspiciously.

"He had seven or eight guards. Two of them are fourth-level upper-tier. If I really want to do it, I am sure to suppress them. Snow Fox said.

The team members nodded at the same time. The gap between those with the same level of ability is actually quite large. is also a fourth-level upper-level, and the team members present are sure that one can be used against several ordinary fourth-level upper-level abilities.

"It's strange that Jiang Xian's guards turned a blind eye to the small punishment I gave Jiang Xian. Don't worry, I'm gradually ramping up my counterattack. If their guards have a hands-on tendency, I'll think out of the scene and won't cause trouble for our mission. Snow Fox added.

"Why is this happening?" Someone asked.

"I also feel strange. So after I broke away from Jiang Xian under the pretext, I specially inquired about this matter. The reason for the matter is actually quite simple. This Jiang Xian almost harmed their inner girl before. Lin Yuanshan didn't like this nephew very much, and gave stern warnings many times. Jiang Xian's death did not change and began to plague outsiders. There were also a few incidents. However, Jiang Lian doted on Jiang Xian very much, and secretly helped Jiang Xian settle things. Jiang Lian was afraid that Jiang Xian would be retaliated against, so she hid from Lin Yuanshan and arranged for Jiang Xian to guard his safety. Jiang Lian's order to the guards was to only protect Jiang Xian's personal safety. As long as Jiang Xian's life is not in danger, he can't help. Nothing can be. So there was such a strange scene. Snow Fox said.

"I see. It seems that Jiang Lian is also an understanding person. However, if you want to say that Jiang Xian harmed the girls, it is better to say that those girls fell in love with Jiang Xian's powerful background. At least most of it should be. Liu Ping said thoughtfully.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Now in this world, in order to survive, most people have abandoned their dignity and face. Many people with lower levels of ability are unable to retain their self-esteem.

"Snow Fox, you're doing a good job. Gangzi, tell me what you investigated? Liu Ping turned his head to look at the other team member.

"Battalion commander, the direction of my investigation is the lives of ordinary people in Yuanshan City. Since this area is rural, the grain stocks of each household are relatively abundant. After Lin Yuanshan sent soldiers to loot everywhere, the food in Yuanshan City was enough for the time being. Ordinary people's lives are barely sustainable. So in the overall order...... "Gangzi began to tell.

"Good. Wang Yi, tell me about the situation you investigated. ”

"Battalion commander, what I am investigating is the acquisition of cultivation resources in Far Mountain City. Far Mountain City has a special hunting team. The hunting team mainly goes out to hunt young mutant beasts. They want low-level mutant beasts as rations for those with high-level abilities......"

"Xia Yuan ......"

"Battalion commander, the direction of my investigation is the composition of the cadres under Lin Yuanshan. According to the analysis, among the important cadres of Yuanshan City, Lin Yuansheng, Gu Mingcheng and others seem to have other thoughts......"

The meeting was late, very late. Liu Ping's team is worthy of being an elite special soldier before the end of the world. In just half a day, I investigated the top and bottom of Yuanshan City. Maybe even Lin Yuanshan himself didn't know his Yuanshan City so clearly.

Coincidentally, Li Qingtong and Zhang Wei's team also began to analyze Yuanshan City in other rooms of this hotel.

After all, Yuanshan City is too small, and there is only one big hotel that can be put on the table.

......

Hui Province.

The Sky Wolf Legion ended a day's campaign and entered Yiyang County.

Today, they once again laid down six large and small towns, annihilated nearly 2 million zombies again, harvested 31 fifth-level crystal nuclei, and advanced 180 kilometers to the west.

From the harvest of the fifth-level crystal nucleus, it can be seen that the fifth-level zombies in the corpse group are appearing faster and faster. But this has no effect on the Sirius Legion, it just accelerates the growth of the Sirius Legion.

In the distribution meeting in the evening, five non-cadre warriors of the Heavenly Wolf Regiment obtained a fifth-level crystal nucleus place. The Celestial Wolf Warrior's fighting enthusiasm is growing stronger and stronger, and he is full of expectations for the future.

On today's battlefield, Tianluan obtained 2 fifth-level crystal nuclei, and Jinguang obtained 4 fifth-level crystal nuclei. Therefore, Lin Chen did not subsidize them with a fifth-level crystal nucleus.

After the two fifth-level masters of Bhutto and Shaka, the Pakistan Iron War Regiment, were lucky enough to intercept a fifth-level zombie today. They obtained a fifth-level crystal nucleus with their own strength. The strength of the Pakistani Railway War Group is also rising rapidly.

Lin Chen smiled. He is getting closer and closer to his hometown.
