"Anyway, it doesn't make a difference, does it?" Li Feng said with a smile.

Kate also said: "You better practice with them, we are not in the same order of magnitude now." Training together is a burden to you. I'm still looking for Chen Hu and them together, and I'll come to a training camp before the war. ”

Lin Ci nodded, it is naturally best to have a black horse sparring partner. Especially an opponent like Li Feng, and the focus of everyone in the black horse is different. If he fights with them, Lin Ci will accumulate experience in fighting against different opponents, which will be of great help to Shi Longfei in the future.

Shi Longfei, it was a mountain that stood in front of him, but had to cross the past. If even Shi Longfei can't surpass him, what else is there to talk about expelling xenos?

A week has passed since the attack on the Divine Capital, and on this day, Xiao Dong finally returned to Dragon City. Getting out of the plane, the dryness and heat of the desert made him feel like he was walking into an oven.

The converted bulletproof sedan, guarded by several escort vehicles, drove out of the airport and along the road to Dragon City.

The material passage in Dragon City is still closed, even if the workers are rushing to repair it day and night, but the huge gap that was blown up by Lu Han and the female commander that day is not so easy to fill.

The convoy entered Dragon City through another tunnel, and when it came out of the tunnel, the underground city appeared in Xiao Dong's eyes. Dragontown's power generation department has basically been repaired, but the power supply is still not comparable to before, and several of the motors need to be replaced, and the new motors are still in place.

The communication base station has been repaired, and Dragon City has reconnected with the outside world. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, in addition to strengthening the guards, Xiao Dong also secretly built a backup base station in another place.

The car was driving on the road, and Xiao Dong found that there were more civilians on the side of the road. First, because many of the buildings were destroyed in the attack that night, and now they are still being rebuilt, so that some civilians who were originally allocated housing have to pour into the streets; The second reason is that recently, another group of civilians have been transported in. New surface cities are being built on the base, but until then, Dragon City still faces significant population pressure.

In order to solve this problem, before attacking Shendu, Xiao Dong obtained the approval of the committee and implemented resource control to avoid a food crisis.

In the car, the old man's eyebrows were furrowed. The search in Shendu was not smooth, and the fire that Su Jinwei put at the end burned too thoroughly, and they searched in Shendu for a whole week, but they couldn't find anything valuable.

That place had turned into a huge ruin, a ruin of no value. After Xiao Dong submitted a report to the central government, he returned to Longcheng. After that, the search team of Shendu will also be evacuated one by one, and this work will be completed in three days.

Back in the building, Xiao Dong came to the Taiyi Department, and Lin Xueheng, who had already learned the news of his return, greeted him in the Taiyi Department.

"Old Xiao, you have worked hard, is everything going well?"

Xiao Dong walked into the hall of the Taiyi Department, shook his head and said, "It's not smooth at all." The other party falls. The number of fallen ones is beyond our imagination, and they are only out of the fall. Those who fell behind blocked all our troops outside the city. And blew up the city, leaving us with nothing. ”

"It's a pity, it seems that that the side is too far ahead of us in terms of high-end combat power. If necessary, I propose to mobilize all forces. Lin Xueheng swung his lower fist vigorously.

Xiao Dong shook his head and said, "If you do that, it will give the xenos a chance to take advantage of it." This kind of thing is not in a hurry now, let alone now, I don't know where they are hiding. ”

"I didn't expect that Dr. Su in the past would now become a group of depraved people. The leader of the fallen ones is really a surprise. Oh yes. Elder Xiao, General Zhang wants to meet with you, and it seems that there is something important to discuss. ”

On the third day of the fall of Shendu, Zhang Guowei returned to Yancheng ahead of schedule. At this moment, hearing that he had something important to discuss, Xiao Dong raised his two thick eyebrows and said, "Then arrange it for me." ”

Lin Xueheng bowed slightly and said, "I'll do it." ”

Curling white smoke, rising from the mouth of the cup, Xiao Dong picked up the cup of hot black tea and took a sip.

The old man closed his eyes, and now even tea has become a special resource.

He felt the hot tea flowing into his body, and his mouth was full of the fragrant aroma of tea, and then the pressure accumulated over the days seemed to spread slightly with this fragrance.

It wasn't until he heard a knock on the door that Xiao Dong opened his eyes again. The wrinkles on his face also spread with this movement, and his face, which was originally full of wrinkles, seemed to be a little smoother, and when his eyes were shining, the old man seemed to be several years younger.

He said lightly, "Come in." ”

The door opened, Lin Xueheng walked in, and behind him, it was Zhang Guowei.

Xiao Dong got up and asked Zhang Guowei to sit down on the sofa set next to him, outside the floor-to-ceiling window next to him, the clear sunshine simulated by the holographic board fell on the window, making people feel as if they were in the Jiangnan area in March, with a strong sense of spring.

A female secretary brought a cup of hot tea, put it in front of Zhang Guowei, and withdrew with a smile. Zhang Guowei took a sip of the cup, smashed his lips and said, "Huangshan Maojian, I didn't expect Xiao Lao to have such a good baby." ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said: "I secretly hid three catties, and when I saw that you came, I brought them to entertain you." ”

"Then I'm really flattered." Zhang Guowei smiled heartily and asked, "Is there a harvest over there?" ”

Xiao Dong knew that he was asking Shendu, shook his head and said, "After searching for a whole week, there is nothing breakthrough except for finding the wreckage of some machines. Dr. Su walked very simply, and the last hand of the Flame Burning City was also beautiful, and he directly burned everything. ”

Zhang Guowei nodded and said: "If it weren't for this kind of resoluteness, he wouldn't have left back then." This is the only way to do this. ”

"By the way, listen to Xueheng, do you have something important to discuss? I don't know what's going on. Xiao Dong got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

Zhang Guowei picked up the cup, took another sip of hot tea, and said, "I received a message." ”

"What's the news?" Xiao Dongqi asked.

"Dragon's Lair." Zhang Guowei put down the cup, his voice was solemn, and his expression was serious: "Shi Longfei's base camp, the base we only know about by name, according to a reliable channel, now I have mastered its specific location." ”

Xiao Dong stood up suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly: "That base...... This, how could this be. All along, although we have obtained information from the xenomorphs, we can vaguely see the shadow of the dragon's nest. But its exact location has never been revealed, how can it be known to you now. General Zhang, with all due respect, can you trust that news channel? ”

"Absolutely trustworthy, but this news is ...... How to say, in time? Zhang Guowei's two thick eyebrows twisted slightly: "Not long ago, the xenomorphs just attacked us, and it didn't take long for us to know where the dragon's nest was, and it felt like someone had specially sent us this information." ”

Xiao Dong suddenly shouted: "Su Jinwei! ”

Zhang Guowei was dumbfounded: "What does Elder Xiao mean is that this news was passed by Su Jinwei?" Why did he do it? ”

Xiao Dong shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just had a flash of inspiration just now." After all, at this time, he is probably the only one who will send us the information of the Dragon's Lair in time. If anything, I'm afraid it is to distract us, and at the same time, let us attack the dragon's nest to relieve some of the pressure? ”

Zhang Guowei sighed: "If this is the case, then I really admire this Dr. Su so much." Even though it was a bait, we had to bite into it. If the dragon's nest is exactly where it is, there are so many things we can do, and we have to do them. Now we urgently need a war, a war against xenos. Otherwise, the patience of civilians is almost at the limit, coupled with the shortage of supplies. If you don't give them an outlet, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster. ”

"This matter is very important, General Zhang, maybe you should report it, and let the people above decide whether to fight this battle." Xiao Dong said.

Zhang Guowei said: "Don't hide it from Elder Xiao, as soon as I received the news, I had already reported it to the Central Committee." In the afternoon, we will use the satellite scan of the coordinates mentioned in the message. If it is true, then soon, I believe that there will be action from above. At that point, I will need your help, so I'm here today to inform you. ”

Xiao Dong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "If the information is true, if the upper authorities want to act, it will probably be in these ten days and eight days." ”

"It should be about the same."

Zhang Guowei drank all the tea in two sips, stood up and said, "There is nothing else to do, I will leave first." Could Elder Xiao ask Dr. Li on her behalf, if she is willing to participate in the research of the Destroyer, I will welcome her over at any time. ”

Xiao Dong pointed at him with a smile and said, "General Zhang is still thinking about other people's little girls." ”

"Xiao Lao, don't make fun of me, I'm serious." Zhang Guowei said.

"Okay, okay, I'll see if Dr. Li is free, accompany me, an old man, to dinner, and I'll ask for you?"

Zhang Guowei arched his hand and said: "Then there is Lao Xiao Lao, farewell!" ”

Seeing off the general, the smile on the corner of Xiao Dong's eyebrows gradually disappeared. Even if you know the location of the dragon's nest, even if you want to launch an attack, this battle may not be won.

Especially on the premise of not using nuclear strikes, relying solely on conventional tactics and the combat power that can be invested at present, what kind of price needs to be paid to attack the base where Shi Longfei is located, Xiao Dong can roughly guess.

Just thinking about this question a little, he felt a headache. If you can, it's easiest to give the Dragon's Lair a nuke directly. But nuclear weapons are a bottom line, and so far, both xenomorphs and humans have restrained themselves.

If this bottom line is crossed, God knows what kind of counterattack it will attract Shi Longfei and even the entire Xenomorph Group.

Xiao Dong pinched his eyebrows and muttered: "Now I really miss the days when Li Tong was here, these problems shouldn't be left to me, an old man, to think about." ”

It's a pity that he's no longer there. No one knows what the end of humanity will be.

After Lorna left, Su Jinwei designed a wonderful drama for her, making Lorna's escape seem so "nine deaths and one life".

Naturally, for the sake of her safety, those who had infiltrated the base with her had either been killed or had been controlled.

In order to make Lorna's escape look more realistic, the girl even used a bitter meat trick. Suna, who is good at double knives and has an abnormal understanding of the structure of the human body, personally took out the knife, leaving a shocking wound on Lorna's body, but it will not cause a life-threatening wound.

In order to ensure that the play would not be exposed, more than thirty percent of the people in the base were involved, and more than 100 people were tracking Lorna outside the base alone, and the search lasted for three days, covering a vast area within 100 kilometers outside the base.

Even the search team members don't know Lorna's true identity, and treat her as a target to be eliminated.

Only the Black Knight, who was in charge of leading the team, knew the inside story, and allowed Lorna to break out of the encirclement at every critical moment.

In this way, Lorna's escape process can be described as "thrilling". If the pretenders had monitored the operation, they would not have been suspicious.

By the time Lorna left, Lin Ci's training had been going on for many days. In the past few days, he has played against different black riders. Lu Han, Suna, Gangwu, Zhou Zhen, and even Mark and Eugene, who were under Wickley, also came to intervene.

These black horsemen are not fuel-efficient lamps, even if they are relatively friendly Lu Han and a few people, when they arrive at the training ground, they are also deadly. It's just that they left a little bit of strength at the critical moment, and as for Mark, the two are almost fighting to the death. Of course, Lin Ci will not be polite.

So after a few days, Lin Ci's body was already scarred, but under the powerful recovery power of the blood devour. Even the injuries left by the black rider are basically healed in a day.

The more difficult injuries were left by the two of them, Mark, who controlled the lightning energy, almost scorched one of Lin Ci's right hands, and Eugene, who was a barbarian, broke Lin Ci's two ribs.

In return, Lin Xi's Blood Demon Blade nearly cut Mark in half, and Eugene crushed a leg for him, plus three fingers.

Now that these two people saw Lin Ci, the fierce flames had converged by three points.

In contrast, Lu Han's wound was drizzle.

Being able to fight these ruthless people is also a way for Lin Ci to quickly accumulate experience. Especially after Longcheng let Cheng Xiao take a lesson, coupled with these days of training, Lin Ci has a lot of experience on how to improve his power skills.

When these experiences were combined, it was like he was reborn, and his combat skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Yesterday he fought against Gangwu, who is known as the master of attack and defense, in the face of Gangwu's almost invulnerable defensive means, Lin Ci deliberately changed the attack method of the Blood Demon Blade, changed the rough and simple attack method in the past, deliberately controlled the strength of his sword, and through the stacking technique of several knives, he broke through the scale armor of Gangwu in one fell swoop, so that he was defeated in less than three minutes for the first time.
