"A locust tree in front of the door is either a treasure or a fortune." This is an ancient proverb that has been passed down from generation to generation, which explains the status of the old locust tree in people's hearts.

Now, the death of Gu Huai is causing panic among mankind, and for 6 years, pessimists have been predicting the end of the world all the time, and this event has been widely publicized by them.

The result given by the government was that "the sacred tree will die a natural death at the end of its life", which did not convince everyone, and countless people were encouraged to go to the northeast at the risk to see the dead branches and leaves of the sacred tree, hoping to get clues from it, or get the blessing of the sacred tree.

Most people can only reach Liangdiangu on foot, and this pilgrimage is full of dangers and difficulties.

When people saw with their own eyes that the ancient tree that needed to be hugged by three people had completely died, some people even knelt down on the spot and cried.

Soon, the news of the death of the sacred tree was transmitted through the mouths of these people, and when the news was transmitted to Huijing City, the old lady Dou Chunhua was teaching Zhang Chuanliu to read and read together with Kan Shuxin.

Her hands trembled obviously, although she had been prepared in her heart, but when this day came, she still couldn't stand it.

This is not the first tree to die, Dou Chunhua used black powder for experiments in her early years, and most of the seedlings and fruit trees could not experience the power of this mysterious powder.

Black powder is not an absolutely beneficial substance, and humans drinking water that dissolves the black powder do not cause any anomalous occurrences, but plants usually grow quickly and die quickly.

Later, she tested that even a tiny bit of powder was enough to make the trees grow quickly and increase their yields by a factor of two, but their vitality was greatly reduced.

This locust tree was planted by herself, and she watered the solution with her own hands, and now that she heard that it was dead, she felt a little sorry in her heart, and the three words of the grain store Gu brought out a lot of worries and turned out a lot of past events.

She thought of her own son Chang Kun again, thought of her godson Zhang San, and thought of the countless people who followed her in the grain store.

The old lady sighed: "The death of the big locust tree is indeed a little bit related to the end of the world, but what people guess is 108,000 miles away from the truth. ”

Zhang Chuanliu asked suspiciously: "Grandma, what is the truth?" ”

Kan Shuxin interrupted his curiosity: "Children, don't worry about adults, you still learn knowledge now, try to survive in the future, and contribute to the reproduction of human beings." ”

The child was not convinced: "Why can't we ask, don't we want to explore the root of the apocalyptic virus and uncover the conspiracy behind it so that human beings can thrive?" ”

The old lady kindly touched his head: "You're right, it's just that grandma doesn't know what this apocalyptic virus is."

What happened, this matter, we have to solve it with our locust army. ”

She looked up at Nanliu, her heart full of contradictions: "This Nanliu, I don't know when he is going to reveal the secret!" ”

In fact, Nanliu has already made preparations, since Xiao Yang died generously, he already knows his intentions, and he has made a choice in his heart.

Only now, Nantes is not strong enough to face the most dangerous and difficult tasks.

This is a mission that can only be completed by Nantes, and it is also a mission related to the origin of the apocalyptic crisis, Xiao Yang used his death to convey a lot of information to the red-eyed lord, including some of the content of this mission.

Its purpose is a double guarantee, if Zhang San's mission fails, it will still be unable to help but go to the mission site, and eventually dust will return to dust, dust will return to dust, and everything will return to zero.

But before that, they obviously have to resist the mutant encirclement first.

The battle between mutants and humans in the Central Plains has become white-hot, and it is not possible for either side to withdraw completely if they want to.

The news of Nanliu's closure of heavy industry was already known to the cabinet, and politicians asked what Nanliu wanted to do, and why he didn't stick to the Shengjing defense line according to the predetermined battle plan?

Nanliu didn't take these politicians' questions to heart at all, and bluntly said that he would withdraw to Jingping Mountain and rely on Jingping Mountain to rearrange the defensive position, the main reason for which was that the cabinet members had too little support for him.

According to the nuclear bomb program, some of the cabinet members were to contribute their own nuclear weapons and use them to transform them into neutron bombs.

However, half a month has passed, and no one is willing to take it out at all. He can only mobilize production materials, personnel and equipment to fully support the research and production of Jingping Mountain.

Pang Qingshan has found the manufacturing technology of the neutron bomb from the confidential database of the 404 factory, and the first test bomb has entered the formal development stage.

With these small tactical nuclear weapons, he also dared to put Nantes in danger.

However, on the mutant side, they are not completely vegetarians, and the red-eyed lord is also aware of Nanliu's actions, after all, it is an abnormal thing for the factory not to smoke.

The mutants are following Nanliu's supply team and moving towards the vicinity of Pure Bottle Mountain.

At the same time, it also ordered the Nether Force to solve the trouble of the new dreadnought as soon as possible, and the next battle target was Pure Bottle Mountain.

At this time, Zhang San was leading more than 700 new mutants to set up an ambush near Fubo Lake, trying to lure the new dreadnoughts into the encirclement.

The New Dreadnought Regiment has little actual combat experience, decent training, and arrogance at heart, and since arriving near Xishan and Fubo Lake, it has been restless, attacking and destroying the remnants of the mutants.

Zhang San used cannon fodder mutants to send them sweetness a few times, and he had fattened this "pig" and entered the slaughter procedure.

He chose to carry out the ambush in an open area on the eastern shore of Lake Fubo.

This place is not far from the place where Nantes was injured in the raid, about 3 kilometers, and it turned out to be a plain of farmland.

It is about 10 square kilometers of land, all fertile land, and there is a river that meanders through the open plains, which provides ample water for the land here, and people have been cultivating rice here for more than 1,000 years.

After the end of the world, the peasants here fled to death, the land was deserted, the river dams were washed away, and the rice fields were flooded many times.

The accumulated river water has turned the area into a wetland of puddles and puddles.

On the barren grassy plain, artemisia grass can grow to a person's height, and in Zhang San's eyes, this place is simply the most perfect cemetery for burying the dreadnought group.

On a rainy day, scattered cannon fodder mutants suddenly gathered, and all within a radius of dozens of kilometers moved, gathering on this open land like a snowball.

Human satellites have monitored this phenomenon and have warned the troops in the area to be on guard.

Nanliu also specifically asked Zhang Yang to gather his troops and return to Xishan, ready to resist the large-scale attack of the mutants at any time.

Ever since Nantes was injured in a raid near Lake Fubo, Nanliu had always felt that something was wrong with Lake Fubo. After all, the intelligence showed that Zhang San's netherworld troops had disappeared into this area, and if he was the one who carried out this mutant gathering, with his shrewdness, Zhang Yang would probably suffer a big loss.

Zhang Yang agreed on the surface, but in fact he didn't have much vigilance against mutants.

As an expert warrior in the field of mutant studies, he knows the characteristics of cannon fodder mutants better than many people, and he doesn't pay attention to the legendary new mutants.

Their own troops are dreadnought regiments that surpass the limits of human warriors, and they are simply self-propelled cannons, and their firepower suppression ability surpasses that of any unit.

At the beginning, more than 300 fighters could eliminate more than a million cannon fodder mutants, but now there are only a handful, so what's the matter?

And he also had a complaint about Nanliu's turtle shrinkage tactics: "In the past, you couldn't beat mutants, just shrink your head and shrink your head to defend, but now Lao Tzu's dreadnought group is here, ready to smash Huanglong, do you still like to be a shrinking turtle so much?" ”

When he first arrived at the battlefield, Zhang Yang asked for battle several times, but he was persuaded by Nanliu, and on the grounds that Zhang San's Netherworld troops were in this area, he let the New Dreadnought Regiment be stationed in the barren mountains and mountains.

After more than a month of sweeping, Zhang Yang had already cleaned up the neighborhood and found no so-called Netherworld troops, and he had developed a deep sense of distrust in Nanliu's command.
