There is a preparation time before the mission departs, and the temporarily established team will have a virtual space in the AI interconnection, where everyone will make pre-departure preparations in the form of holographic projection, and I will return to my own residence to do my own work.

"It's the first time I've done this kind of mission, so I'll just listen to the arrangement." Meng Xingchen was not prepared to hide it at all, and directly said that he was a novice.

Xiao Fei and Dyson Locke have seen the basic information about Meng Xingchen, but all they can see is some "basic" information, in their eyes, Meng Xingchen is an ordinary exile, or even an exile who has not even upgraded the AI, and the person who has not upgraded the AI at the age of twenty is almost non-existent on the moon, but it is nothing on the home planet, after all, upgrading the AI requires a certain cost, and there are many people who can't even afford this cost. Of course, there are also some extreme humans who resist robots and artificial intelligence, and they will not upgrade AI.

"Newcomer, it's okay, just be obedient, after all, the danger factor of the scavenging task is not high, as long as you don't die, there will generally be no accidents." Xiao Fei said listlessly.

Dyson Locke said angrily while checking the equipment: "The ruins of the end are not necessarily safe, the biggest security hazard comes from the rebels, since we can get the news of the ruins, they can naturally get it, when the time comes, there will inevitably be encounters, the last large-scale encounter was quite fierce, both sides have confessed the lives of thousands of people and tens of thousands of robots." ”

Xiao Fei nodded, and then looked at Dyson Locke: "It seems that you also participated in that war, but unfortunately we are not in the same war zone, it was that battle that made you make enough contributions to be safely arranged in Area C, right?" ”

Dyson Locke snorted, didn't say anything, turned to Meng Xingchen and said: "If you are on a mission for the first time, then it is recommended that you change some life-saving tools and medicines, whether you get valuable things or not is secondary, and the small life you save is real." ”

Meng Xingchen nodded with a smile, as a sign of gratitude to this black uncle, and then carefully selected what he wanted to buy on the panel projected by the AI terminal.

In addition to the props of the prison system, some items in the commercial area are also exchanged, but the prison area is mostly exchanged for contribution points, and the commercial area directly wants hard currency - Biya coin.

Meng Xingchen is a newcomer, so naturally there are no contribution points, so he can only receive a "newcomer gift package" from the prison area and wander around the commercial area.

For the old man who often goes out on tasks, the preparation time is definitely enough, and for a newcomer like Meng Xingchen, it is still a little shorter, but fortunately, he had a plan before, and after changing a few things that he felt useful, he came directly to the starting point.

Because it is the outermost area of the ring city, the starting point of the joint mission is at the edge of the ecological shielding area around the city, and the transport vehicles are also the military type of the prison area, with 20 people in a car, using anti-gravity suspension technology, at a height of about half a meter from the surface, and driving in line towards the relics area.

After seeing Meng Xingchen getting into the car so empty-handed, Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh: "I thought I was good enough, I feel that you are better than me when you travel lightly." ”

Meng Xingchen looked at the people in the car who were almost armed to the teeth, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It's not that he wants to pretend to be forced, but he really doesn't know what to prepare, after all, it's not like going to the battlefield to fight, just prepare guns and ammunition, and heavy firepower.

Uncle Black Dyson Locke patted Meng Xingchen on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, everyone has the first time, you will follow me when the time comes, and you can avoid general dangers." ”

Meng Xingchen smiled and thanked Uncle Hei, and then found his place and sat down.

"Looks like there's one less competitor!" A man with a heavy steel helmet sitting opposite Meng Xingchen said.

Xiao Fei sat on Meng Xingchen's right hand, still fiddling with the knife in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Joint mission, stupid fork dog!" Do you think you can get rid of surveillance? Even in the danger zone, there will be spot checks and monitoring, you don't think that someone will be successfully robbed by you every mission, right? Obviously, Xiao Fei recognized the person in front of him who said cool words.

Dyson Locke explained directly to Meng Xingchen in the channel of the three-person team: "The person who spoke was called the poisonous wolf, and he was an exile who had just been transferred from Area B to the business district last year, and they had been doing business without capital. It's to rob weak exiles in the mission, generally as long as they don't cause death, the above will not be investigated, after all, whether it is a prison area or a commercial area, what is wanted is contribution. This has also become a habit for everyone to exchange for some armed forces for every mission, so Xiao Fei felt very ...... when he saw you coming empty-handed just now Very bullish X. ”

Meng Xingchen didn't expect this kind of collusion between exiles, but he was relieved to think about it, after all, it was impossible for the prison system to monitor the mission area all the time, so it was normal for some dirty things to happen, this is the law of the jungle, everywhere.

The location of the ruins is between the mountains 100 kilometers away from the city, which was originally a lush forest, but now it has become a steel thorny landscape, and military hovervehicles can only drive to the periphery of this thorn forest, and then assemble it into a temporary military camp on the spot

The military vehicles were grouped together, some of them were responsible for medical care, some were responsible for supplies, and some were responsible for exchange for contributions.

Su Rui also followed the mission herself, and she appeared on a large hovertruck, and the main function of the large hovercar was monitoring.

"I've heard all about the previous missions, I don't care if there is any friction between your teams, but if it affects the efficiency of the mission, or destroys the valuable items found, then you pray that I don't find out, once I find out, it is to go directly to Area A, I happen to have several dangerous medical items in my hands and lack human experiments."

Maybe it was the effect of Su Rui's words, and the man named Poison Wolf just whispered when he passed by Meng Xingchen's group: "It's cheaper for you." Then he walked towards his squad position.

Meng Xingchen looked at the poisonous wolf who was about the same height as him, armed like a human flesh sandbag, and underestimated in a low voice: "Inexplicable." ”

"Don't worry, it's not aimed at you, that grandson and I have a grudge, it's just that we haven't been on a mission together for a long time, so it's difficult to meet, even if we meet in the business district, we can only spray a few words to each other, after all, if you want to do it in the city, you can only go to the gladiatorial arena." Xiao Fei also looked at the back of the poisonous wolf and said.

Uncle Hei also said disdainfully: "In recent years, the security around the city has been much better, and these people have become more and more arrogant. ”

Meng Xingchen looked at his AI data and showed that Su Rui had already sent the approximate area where each team needed to advance, as well as the current Dao's information and a brief map of this ruin.

"The underground part is so big." Xiao Fei also saw the sketch.

Dyson Locke glanced at the map and nodded: "It should be a military base before the end of the world, most of the bases built in the forests and mountains are engaged in military scientific research, so Chief Su Rui will take this joint mission so seriously." ”

Meng Xingchen knew that Uncle Hei was a pre-apocalyptic person, and this kind of elder was one of the people he wanted to inquire, so he asked, "Uncle Dyson, you are a pre-apocalyptic person, do you remember what the world was like before?" ”

"A pre-apocalyptic world? How so...... My memory is not clear, maybe the end of the world crashed into the head, I can only remember that the world used to have a large population, lack of resources, and serious pollution, but in general, people's lives are okay. And the pre-apocalyptic world is divided into many countries, each with different national conditions......" Dyson Locke recalled.

In the end, Meng Xingchen didn't get the information he wanted, these were all available on the Internet, but he always felt that this was not all, or that some of them might be fake, but it was just a feeling, and there was no theoretical basis.

As he thought, the large army had entered the moment of departure, and more than 5,000 people and more than 10,000 robots were advancing in the direction of the Thorn Forest, which was quite spectacular. The robot is responsible for removing some of the forested vegetation that has been metalized along the way, while the tasker is responsible for taking samples for research on the go.

The direction of the apocalyptic ruins is hazy, and in the already not too bright sunlight, the ruins in the depths of the mountains are particularly mysterious, and the buildings that have been experiencing twenty years after the apocalypse lie there quietly, and the surface part is just a few simple dilapidated buildings. If it weren't for accurate intelligence, no one would have thought that there would be a magnificent military research base beneath these buildings.

Meng Xingchen's scavenging group is the first batch of this joint mission, and then the second or even third batch of taskers will enter this ruins group, and as they go deeper, the information of the underground part will also be quickly transmitted back to the host on Su Rui's side.

"Let's not move too fast, according to what I know, we are the first wave of this batch of missions, according to past experience, the first wave of gains may not be the greatest, but the risk is definitely the highest." Xiao Fei seems to be arrogant on the surface, but he has a delicate mind.

Meng Xingchen also agreed with him, although his group of people would not be cannon fodder in the true sense, he was sure that these 5,000 people would definitely not return to the safe zone around the city intact.

"The distance from this metalized forest to the buildings in the mountains over there is the least dangerous, except for the presence of some mutated animals. And there are enough of us and robots to keep the mutated creatures far away, and if anything, it's from our ranks. But according to Su Rui's words, it is estimated that even a habitual offender like a poisonous wolf who is used to smashing and robbing will not do anything here. The real danger is after entering the Founding Race. Meng Xingchen analyzed.

Dyson Rock and Xiao Fei both glanced at Meng Xingchen, and then the former said: "I see that you don't like to talk much, but you analyze it thoroughly, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a novice." ”

Meng Xingchen smiled helplessly, "Xiaobai is not Xiaobai, I don't know, but I definitely won't hold you back, the ruins of doom?" I'm looking forward to it! ”

Who is Meng Xingchen? He is a soldier who has experienced the secret training of the lunar base, but he will be unknown because he does not obey the arrangement of the consortium, otherwise his achievements are definitely no less than Nina today.
