"Is the mission finally continuing?"

Cheng Lin put down the water glass, looked at the outside environment, and changed into normal clothes.

Then he pushed open the door and walked out.

"Woo ......"

The moment he stepped into this post-nuclear war wasteland, Cheng Lin couldn't help frowning.

There's a wind blowing outside.

The wind wrapped in a warm stream of air, blowing on his cheeks.

Look around.

It was indeed a wasteland, and the wind blew from nowhere, bringing with it a lot of sand.

So the ground was also covered with dust.

The air was very dry, and when you looked up, the whole sky was dull, and you couldn't see a clear blue sky at all.

The view here is very good, and as far as the eye can see, you can see the presence of hills in the distance.

There are also some very strange trees and plants, not many, growing in clusters.

In the distance, there seems to be a city.

It's just that the wind and sand are very big, and his vision is blurred, and he can't see clearly for the time being.

"Here...... Is it the Western Hemisphere? ”

Cheng Lin couldn't help frowning and asked.

According to previous information, there is no sunlight in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the temperature is cold, which should not be the case.

[You stand in this desolate world, you don't know where this place is, you think for a while, only to remember that this is the day and night intersection area west of the "lifeline"]

[According to the division of the area of the old era thirty years ago, this place is located in the territory of the Sultan, but according to the division of this era, this area belongs to the territory ruled by the powerful "Sand King" of the Emperor Realm, and administratively it is under the scope of the main city of "Sahara" under the control of the "butcher" of the Nine Rank powerhouse]

Hearing these messy names, Cheng Lin had a headache.

Fortunately, he still heard a familiar word.

"Sahara? The Sahara Desert? ”

Cheng Lin struggled to begin to recall the knowledge of geography in his mind.

Well, a magazine I read about Sanmao a long time ago seems to mention the Sahara Desert.

It is said that it is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east, and it should be to the west of Sudan.

[The global lockdown has brought long-term winds, and the wind has blown through the Sahara, so the wind has dyed earthy yellow]

"No wonder this is the landform here."

Cheng Lin nodded, and finally had a more correct understanding of his location.

However, the area next to the desert is not fertile soil in the first place, and it seems that even if humans migrate here, the living conditions are still poor.

It is no wonder that cultivators are in power, the harsher the natural environment, the greater their individual advantages.

Cheng Lin didn't think much about it anymore and began to walk along the guiding markers on the ground.

The mission in the fifth paragraph is to find the body of the reconnaissance team, and it is unclear what this means.

Cheng Lin walked forward in silence, walking for about five minutes, when he climbed over a mound, and finally saw the end of the road sign.

"Huh?"

Standing on the mound, Cheng Lin saw two brown painted jeeps parked not far away.

Next to the jeep, there seemed to be several corpses upside down.

Cheng Lin walked closer and saw the specific scene clearly.

There were four corpses in total, dressed in some kind of peculiar military uniform.

One collapsed on the outside of the jeep, with some blood stains on his clothes, and huge hideous wounds on his shoulders and neck, which were deeply visible to his bones, but there was not much blood in the exposed wounds.

One was sitting in the driver's seat of a jeep with its front windshield shattered.

It appears to have been attacked, with blood stains on the shattered glass.

Another was lying on top of another jeep, lying on a machine gun.

The last one, more than 100 meters away from the vehicle, fell to the ground and appeared to have tried to escape.

All four bodies were dressed in similar uniforms and had similar wounds.

The common trait is that their faces are extremely pale and shriveled, and there is almost no blood in the wounds, as if their blood has been sucked away.

And among them, the person who escaped was the worst, there were almost no good pieces of meat on his body, and the wounds were dense, which was very tragic.

In addition to these four people as well as the car.

Then there are several bat-like corpses.

The reason why it is similar is because this kind of bat is very different from the one that Cheng Lin has seen on the Internet.

First of all, their size is very huge, and their wings are spread out, almost enough to wrap half of Cheng Lin's body.

The bat is ugly and hideous, with fangs and extremely thick claws.

Covered in blue and black, it looks like a dozen of them have died.

Several were apparently killed by machine guns.

Others, the pile of people who died next to the man who had fled.

"Cultivator?"

Cheng Lin squatted down, the ninja was disgusted, and looked at the group of bats and the extremely miserable man who was torn apart.

He saw wounds that were clearly from the burning of the flames.

There are also faint aura fluctuations in the air.

After the practitioner dies, the aura in the body escapes, and within a certain period of time, it can be perceived by other practitioners.

"It seems that he is an elemental cultivator, so his grade should not be very high...... These bats are not simple, and they also have aura fluctuations, is this the so-called beast that has been mutated by the influence of psionic radiation? ”

Cheng Lin frowned and thought about it.

[You found a small battle scene, not long ago, there seems to have been a battle here, there are "vampire bats" on the ground, it seems that this reconnaissance team has been attacked by a large number of vampire bats]

[Out of the corner of your eye, you suddenly saw something stuffed in the jacket pocket of the corpse on the ground, and you held back your nausea and took it out]

Jacket pockets?

Cheng Lin frowned, and sure enough, he saw a white corner peeking out of the pocket of the military uniform.

He pinched it out with two fingers.

It's a folded piece of paper.

Cheng Lin unfolded it, and then saw that it was printed in English.

Thanks to the experience of playing those foreign stand-alone games, although Cheng Lin used to be a scumbag, his English is okay.

He looked at the English title.

"Orders?"

Before he could continue to struggle, information came to his mind.

[You read this paper, and then understand the cause and effect, these people are the army reconnaissance team belonging to the city of "Sahara",

There are several outposts near Sahara City,

The personnel stationed in the outpost carry out tasks such as reconnaissance, vigilance, material transfer, etc.,

However, the contacts between the Sahara city and the outposts found that

Its southwestern outpost, the "Sand Corner City", has repeatedly failed to communicate at the required time.

and did not respond to radio inquiries in Sahara City,

So the local governor sent a reconnaissance team to "Sand Corner City" to investigate]

"Sandhorn?" Cheng Lin raised his head and looked at the somewhat hazy building complex in the distance, guessing that it was probably there.

"So these scouts were attacked by vampire bats here, and then they were all wiped out."

He got a general idea of the situation.

【Congratulations on completing the Stage 5 Mission】

[Mission (Part 6): The outpost of Sand Corner City was attacked by a large number of vampire bats the day before yesterday, the vampire bats surrounded the entire city, the people inside the outpost suffered heavy casualties, and failed to break through many times, and now only a few people can survive with the help of the building, please rush to Sand Corner City, meet with them, and understand the situation]

……

Heading to Shajiao City?

Informed?

Haven't you already made it clear what else you know......

Cheng Lin complained.

Then you are ready to go.

But just as he was about to take a step, a question suddenly came to mind.

That is, the clothes on his body seem to be too inconsistent with the environment.

"If I wear this dress, people will know that I have a problem."

Cheng Lin thought about it, his eyes stayed on those corpses, and he had an idea.

Quickly compared the four people, not to mention, these four people are quite interesting, and from their appearance, they seem to be from different places.

There were whites, blacks, and Asians, and they looked like a ragtag army.

"It seems that the pattern of the wasteland era is really different, and the forces are obviously more chaotic."

Thinking to himself, Cheng Lin chose the clothes of the person sitting in the driver's seat.

Only this man's clothes are basically intact.

He is about the same size as him.

……

After changing into the man's clothes, Cheng Lin returned to the safe house, looked in the mirror, and felt that there was no problem, so he came out again.

It was quite far from Shajiao City, Cheng Lin thought about it and decided to drive forward.

Both jeeps can still drive, but the difference is that one has an on-board machine gun on the roof.

On the roof of another car was a strange device that looked like some kind of radar facility.

After a little hesitation, Cheng Lin chose the latter.

He could have driven a car, twisted the key, lit a fire, Cheng Lin grabbed the steering wheel and began to march towards the city in front of him.

There are no roads in the wilderness, but there are roads everywhere.

Cheng Lin was infected by this rough style for a while, stepped on the accelerator, and the rough and leathery brown-green jeep rumbled forward at full speed.

The tires ran over the sand, kicking up a cloud of soot.

As he got closer and closer, Cheng Lin finally saw the appearance of the city clearly.

The first thing you see is the city walls.

Yes, this city of Shajiao turned out to be walled.

In Cheng Lin's cognition, things like city walls are the standard configuration of ancient cities.

In modern times, there is basically no such thing as a city wall.

Unexpectedly, thirty years of nuclear war have not only led to changes in the social structure.

Even the layout of urban buildings has "degraded".

The appearance of the city wall is very strange.

It's not boxy, and from this angle, it seems to have a certain arc.

But it's not round.

The outer ring of the city takes on an irregular geometric shape.

It's a pity that Cheng Lin's perspective limits his observation.

You can't see the whole picture.

The walls are already very dilapidated, many places have collapsed, and the buildings of the city can be seen through the fractures.

It was clearly a long-abandoned complex.

The whole complex presents a very regular and uncharacteristic feeling.

It doesn't look like it was thirty years ago, it's more like a city that was newly built, rebuilt, and then abandoned in the last few decades.

Broken walls and ruins are scattered, and the empty, crumbling houses exude a smell of long-term uninhabited.

"It seems that this place has long been deserted, no wonder it can only exist as a sentry, and it is estimated that only a few sentinels live here in the entire city."

Cheng Lin thought secretly.

At this time, the jeep finally found a buried, dilapidated road.

Along this road, a short distance further into the city complex.

However, at this moment, Cheng Lin suddenly braked and forcibly stopped.

Since the city was already surrounded by that kind of vampire bat, it was really irrational for him to drive directly into it.

Even if he has an immortal body.

"Let's go in and see what's going on."

Cheng Lin thought about it and jumped out of the car.

The car was parked on the road into the city, and a tall cross was erected more than ten meters away from the road.

It seems to be a steel structure, crooked, like a road sign.

Or to put it more specifically, it seems to be a sculpture, a metal sculpture.

Its main body is a steel cross, and on the cross, an upside-down body is cast in metal.

As if to punish the sinner.

Cheng Lin was curious for a while, looked at it twice, and found that there was a metal sign under the sculpture, which seemed to have words on it.

"What kind of strange sculpture is this?"

Curious, he approached and looked at the rusty sign.

There is a line of symbols engraved on it.

It seems to be some kind of text, and Cheng Lin doesn't know it.

Fortunately, the information in my mind was translated at the right time:

[You look at the words on the metal plate in confusion, puzzled by its meaning, and after a moment, you suddenly understand its contents]

[Translated as follows: The human traitor "Cheng Lin" will be imprisoned on the cross for eternity until the end of the world]

Cheng Lin: "......"
