Chapter 538: First Exploration of Silent Hill
After the three of them had roughly written down the basic information of all fifty-five people, Captain Anderson revealed to them the whereabouts of Ironbeard.
Silent Hill, a rare dangerous place in the north. Although it is not as poisonous as the southern Qingfeng Valley, the risks here are even more difficult to detect.
Still four or five kilometers away, when Ma Shuo looked at the mountain ridge full of stone forests and dark green vines for the first time, he couldn't help but immediately wonder: "Why is Silent Hill forbidden to enter?"
Heitzenor, who was packing his backpack on the side, stopped his movements and smiled when he heard this: "Because this is a natural labyrinth, those plant juices will make people hallucinate and be addictive. ”
"Wouldn't it be okay to go in in the winter?" Ma Shuo immediately put forward his own idea. But Airy, who had sorted out his equipment, shook his head: "It's okay on the periphery in winter, most of the plants will wither and die." But the center is about five kilometers in radius, and it's all made of demon paulownia wood!"
Hezenor also packed his bags at this time, got up and pulled out the long knife at his waist and added: "Demon Tung Wood is not afraid of cold in winter, so no one dares to enter the very center. ”
"To be exact. Airy, who took out his pistol and loaded the bullets, continued: "Don't get close to people and animals!"
"So many demon paulownia trees?" Ma Shuo couldn't help but turn his gaze in the direction of Silent Hill again, frowning his brows and muttering, "How many people must die inside?"
"It's not just people!" After putting away his pistol and drawing his long knife, Airy looked at Ma Shuo and smiled back, "A hundred years ago, before Silent Hill became like this, it was the largest livestock trading point in the northern part of the Empire. ”
"It's a large plain that is rare in the north. Heitzenor replied, "Silent Hill is in the very center of the entire plain, and it is close to the largest rainbow forest in the West Continent. At the beginning, it was a food mecca where livestock and game were wanted!"
Speaking of this, Hezenori pointed to the northwest side of Silent Hill again: "Now, there is still a lot of ruins over there, and Silent City used to be a big city at the level of a royal city. The eastern part of the city, which is now Silent Hill and the ruins on the west side, is mainly responsible for the processing and sale of primary products of gourmet food. ”
"Xicheng!" Heizenor turned around and pointed in the direction of the current Silent City: "That is, the current Silent City, which is responsible for deep processing and deep processing trade. ”
Airy pointed to his feet at this time: "The place where we are standing used to be a big river that ran through the north and south, but after the East City of Silent City was abandoned, I don't know why even the river dried up completely. ”
At this time, there was a sound of trucks approaching from a distance in the direction of Silent City, and the three of them looked back together, and Hezenor shook his head and sighed: "War, alas!"
"Alright, gorilla!" Eri smiled and patted Hezenor on the shoulder, "Captain Anderson's support is here, let's go in and find these guys." ”
"What's in there?" Ma Shuo asked again, "Let them risk their lives to go inside to explore?"
"It is said to be a mushroom that looks like an umbrella. Airy shrugged his shoulders and replied, "But no one seems to have actually gotten it so far, maybe even if they do, they won't say it, after all, I heard that this thing is more expensive than gold." ”
"Umbrellas, mushrooms?" Ma Shuo was immediately stunned when he heard this, because he thought of the Ganoderma lucidum he had eaten!
If it was really Lingzhi?, he couldn't help but purse his lips as he looked in the direction of Silent Ridge.
At this moment, five military trucks had stopped in front of the three of them. Anderson got out of the car with five squads of city guards, each with five large wooden boxes in the cargo box.
From the way they carefully hold on to the box, it can be seen that the contents of the box should be dangerous.
Anderson came to the three of them and immediately beat his chest and saluted, and then reported with a smile on his face: "Three chiefs, my subordinates have prepared some incendiary bombs here to help the three commanders clear the first half of the road." ”
Heitzenor saw the flame mark on the wooden box at a glance, nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is the five cardinal numbers fully matched?"
"Full match!" Howard immediately nodded and smiled, "Two thousand five hundred!
Hearing this, Hezenor frowned and looked in the direction of Silent Ridge: "They are all former soldiers, just pay attention to your own safety!"
Incendiary grenades, when fired, can cause a large area of continuous flames. But if it explodes before it hits, it is easy to cause a chain reaction.
They are facing a group of former soldiers, and while the other side may not know their purpose, it is also the most dangerous. Because you don't know the purpose, you'll be on full alert, in case you shoot them directly as an enemy?
They can accept it to see the enemy burned to charcoal, but if it is their own people who are burned alive?
Hearing this, Anderson immediately nodded heavily: "My subordinates understand that we will move forward steadily on the premise of ensuring speed!"
"Good. Hezenor nodded reassuringly: "We will guard you from a distance, and remember to report the situation in time." ”
Then, he turned his gaze to Ma Shuo: "Xiaobai, you stay with Captain Anderson to cooperate with him, I believe in Captain's experience in combat command." ”
"Understood. Ma Shuo immediately came to Anderson's side, looked at the other man and nodded and smiled, and then remained silent.
Seeing this, Captain Anderson took out a pair of monoculars from his waist, handed them to Ma Shuo, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is for you." ”
Ma Shuo thanked him and put away the binoculars, this thing he used to play with as a toy. Although it is just a gadget in Old Man Liu's mouth, it can allow them to occupy a certain degree of dominance to a certain extent at this time.
At this time, the five trucks were already moving slowly, each holding 30 to 50 meters between them, and they were also afraid of being attacked by the enemy and forming a chain explosion.
Hezenor nodded with satisfaction, took off the rifle behind his back and instructed Anderson: "Take care of yourself, Xiaobai shouldn't worry too much here." ”
After speaking, he and Ma Shuo looked at each other and nodded and smiled, and immediately took Airy and ran quickly to the east.
The two disappeared from sight in an instant, and Anderson was about to turn to keep up with the slow-moving convoy when he heard a series of gunshots ringing out ahead. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they heard a loud "boom!" in front of them.
"Damn!" Anderson immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the guards: "Quickly notify the front, don't care what distance is not there, blow up wherever there are people!"
Ma Shuo looked at the vast expanse of fire that had exploded to pieces in the distance and was still burning. After thinking about it for a moment, he handed the telescope back to the other party without hesitation.
"Sir, you," under Anderson's stunned gaze, Ma Shuo gently touched the other party's waist, and the gas mask appeared in his hand: "You do what you do best, and I should do what I do best." ”
