Chapter 43: The Disappearing Signal
"Are you really okay?"
Su Tong took the pistol back into her arms and looked around Zhou Yangzai carefully, but not only did she not find the wound, but she also found that Zhou Yang's clothes were intact.
"It's really okay, let's hurry up and let's go."
Zhou Yang looked at everyone's surprised gazes, and didn't know how to explain it, but it didn't matter, the main problem now was going to the desert.
For Zhou Yang, the Soul Devouring Ancient Tree is an existence that must not be exposed before it grows, but some of his own abilities can be moderately displayed.
"Check it out, and get ready to go."
With surprise in his eyes, Li Xiang gave an order, and then everyone quickly set off after checking the equipment and vehicles.
After getting past the monsters that block the road, the pickup truck rushes into the desert, only to suddenly become empty.
"It's quiet."
Looking out the window, Su Tong sighed, she sat in the car, she didn't even hear the wind, this desert, there seemed to be something wrong.
"Be careful."
Looking at the familiar scenes around him, Zhou Yang reminded Li Xiang that this desert was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, and below the sea of sand, there was an undercurrent of crisis.
Zhou Yang still remembers that the last time he was with Zhang Ya, Xiaobai Lightning and others, even the off-road vehicle he was riding in was directly overturned.
"Hmm."
Entering the desert, Li Xiang, who had never relaxed, responded.
At this moment, Li Xiang suddenly slammed the steering wheel, and the entire pickup truck spun and drove forward.
Before everyone could understand what was happening, Zhou Yang saw a huge scorpion behind him from the car window.
"It's okay."
Li Xiang stabilized the vehicle and said to everyone.
"What was that?"
Su Tong also saw the fleeting black shadow, her heart was beating extremely fast, and her brain had not completely calmed down.
"The mutated giant scorpion, the combat effectiveness is okay."
Zhou Yang said without changing his face, although it was thrilling just now, Zhou Yang, who had already experienced that feeling once, was already mentally prepared.
"It's scary."
He had been on a mission around Yangcheng and had never seen such a huge creature, and Su Tong had a bad premonition about this trip to the desert at this time.
"It's nothing...... When you encounter a mutated giant rattlesnake, be careful. ”
Zhou Yang looked at Su Tong and said half-truthfully.
"Huh?"
Su Tong, who was born with a sense of fear for a creature like a snake, instantly turned pale and bloodless at this time.
"It's not that scary to tease you."
Seeing that Su Tong's reaction was obviously overdone, Zhou Yang smiled slightly embarrassed.
The mutated giant rattlesnake, although it was not weak, but Zhou Yang, who was able to easily kill them before, had become stronger at this time.
"Whew."
Hearing this, Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
The pickup truck ran on the desert, and the journey was thrilling, but fortunately, under Li Xiang's driving skills, the seventh team was safe.
After about thirty kilometers of travel, the seventh team had to stop.
Ahead, there is a large group of epidemic variants that are roaming densely.
"That's ...... amount"
Stopping the car, Li Xiang looked at it with a telescope, his face slightly solemn.
"I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand."
Zhou Yang also shook his head.
With so many epidemic variants lying here, even if the pickup truck rushes in, it may be difficult to break through from it, and the biggest possibility is to be overwhelmed and devoured by this group of terrifying epidemic variants.
"Just looking at the epidemic variants that may be B-class, there are six or seven, plus the deep ones, this time, we may not be able to pass through here."
Li Xiang glanced at it a few times, using his own experience to estimate the opponent's combat effectiveness.
In the end, he was helpless to find that even if the seventh team now had Zhou Yang's powerful hole card, the seventh team still couldn't face such a huge number of epidemic variants.
Whether Zhou Yang will die or not, Li Xiang doesn't know, but before Zhou Yang falls, the rest of the seventh squad may not be able to hold on.
There are so many B-level epidemic variants, it is impossible for all of them to besiege Zhou Yang, as long as one of them comes, they may perish here.
Class B.
This is a level that makes Li Xiang a little helpless.
No matter how good your cunning is, without the cooperation of powerful weapons, it will not be able to inflict fatal damage on the B-class epidemic variant after all.
"If it doesn't work, let's change the way."
Although he was a little greedy for the group of epidemic variants in front of him, Zhou Yang knew that this was not a suitable opportunity.
This group of epidemic variants is like a great temptation in front of Zhou Yang.
But he still understands that the more moments like this, the more he can't harm the rest of the seventh team for his own selfishness.
"Okay."
Li Xiang nodded, there is really no other way now.
Although the mission required them to annihilate the epidemic variant while investigating, such a huge number was probably wiped out by the epidemic variant before they could annihilate the epidemic variant.
No one wants to die.
Naturally, I won't do such a thing.
Everyone returned to the car, looking at the epidemic variant wandering in the distance but not taking a step closer to this side, and their eyes were dazed.
"To the south or to the north?"
A question was placed in front of the Seventh Squad, they had gone all the way to the west, and now they were stopped here, whether to go south or north, for those who were not familiar with the terrain here, it was a difficult question to choose.
"If you go south, you may run into other squads, and there may be some synergy between them. It is also better to break through the location of this epidemic variant and enter the depths of the desert to investigate. ”
Xu Yufeng opened his mouth rarely, and his point of view was quite clear, that is, to find the strategy of other teams and enter the depths of the desert together to investigate.
In this way, although the credit will be less, being alive is already the greatest reward.
"It's not bad to go north, there is an oasis here, and there are some villages on top of the oasis, we can go there to rest and ask the villagers about the recent situation by the way."
Su Tong looked at the map, thoughtful, and then raised his head and retorted to Xu Yufeng.
One south and one north, the stalemate continues.
"I think it's better to the south, and the villages to the north are tempting, but now we can't be sure they're alive."
The tiger scratched his head and pointed to the village to the north.
"I may not be able to go south."
Just when everyone was discussing, Li Xiang suddenly said with a solemn face.
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Li Xiang in unison, waiting for Li Xiang's explanation, Li Xiang is never funny, there must be a reason for these words.
"The navigation shows that in the fifth squad of the third brigade to the south of us, the instrument codenamed 35 has lost its normal response."
Li Xiang looked at everyone and said slowly.
"What is this?"
Zhou Yang didn't quite understand what the instrument failed to represent, but Li Xiang immediately explained it to him.
