In the middle of December of the 7th year of Honkai, it has been a while since the tragic Northern Expedition, and all mysteries aside, just talking about the current situation, the political earthquake within the Republican Radiance is not small.

Admiral Leng Kite was transferred from the capital Chang'an and sent to the Jingshou region in the north to face the front line against the rebels, and was given military authority in the northern region.

This is actually a trick played by the old marshal, a typical "bright rise and dark fall", although Leng Kite's rank of general has not changed, and the number of troops under his control has changed from the once single Eagle Banner Army to all the soldiers in the northern region, but she was transferred out of the capital of Chang'an, out of contact with the central organs, which is actually a disguised weakening of her influence.

Because the so-called "Northern Military Power" can be withdrawn by the old marshal at any time through the commander's order, unlike the Eagle Banner Army that is loyal to Leng Kite, it is only temporarily "loaned" to Leng Kite, so that she can fight against the rebel forces entrenched in the three northeastern provinces.

After Leng Kite broke away from the capital, his influence on the central power became very weak, and it was difficult to expand his position politically, and he always needed to consider border defense, so he was basically out of touch with Chang'an.

The reason why the old marshal did this is also very simple, that is, he found that the cold kite was too difficult to control, and he had to control it carefully, it would be very useful if he used it well, and if he didn't use it well, she would give you a full-scale Northern Expedition, and then the world would be in chaos.

In terms of military districts, a large number of hawkish officers occupy middle-level power, so that the hawks, who were originally languishing, will finally not be overwhelmed by the doves, and the two sides have returned to a state of equilibrium.

This also means that the Wilderness Expeditionary Force is no longer a low-status "multi-functional animal", the waist board is really stiffened, and a series of improvements have been improved from weapons to welfare, and will no longer be looked down upon.

Of course, for the sake of stability, there is no change in terms of duties, the central garrison guards guard the capital, the city defense construction army enforces the people's livelihood, and the wilderness expeditionary force participates in wilderness missions.

But compared to the hypocritical peace of the past, the undercurrent has begun to slowly surge.

In the wilderness, 30 kilometers from Lin'an City, a fierce battle is taking place.

"Roar!! A large humanoid mutant creature wielded a keratinized fist hammer in its hand and smashed it into the surrounding expeditionary force soldiers, causing a small earthquake.

Butcher, this is a high-level mutant creature belonging to the zombie class, the height is generally five to six meters, but the body of this butcher in front of him is even taller, and the body surface is also blue-gray, which is obviously a mutant variety with extremely terrifying combat effectiveness.

And this creature has no sense of pain, it can't feel its own injury, it's directly driven by the central nervous system, and its weaknesses are only the spine and the skull, except for these two positions, it will regenerate no matter how you attack.

This mutant butcher is the mission target received by the expeditionary force team at the cube, and the task difficulty assessment is B, which is a high difficulty in peacetime, and a large number of elite veterans must be dispatched to solve it, and there is a high probability of serious casualties.

Xing Tian emptied the magazine behind the cover, skillfully took out the spare magazine, put off the empty magazine and replaced it, it took no more than a second before and after, and continued to shoot at high speed, but he looked at the bullets stuck in the mutant butcher's muscles and scolded angrily: "Miscalculated!" The wolf cub should not be directly involved, the difficulty of the task is pulled up by him alone! ”

Mo Qian next to him was also shooting at the mutant butcher, turned his head and asked stupidly: "The 16 people who came out to take on the mission this time are all recruits, how could they receive a B-level mission?" ”

"Who the knows?!" Xing Tian emptied another magazine, replaced it and shot scoldingly, "You can be happy!" Fortunately, I brought 16 people and dragged the rating down, if I didn't bring enough people, the hell knows how far that guy would raise the mission rating! ”

Xingtian found 16 recruits to come out on this mission, asked the recruits to pick up the task together, and brought 10 veterans in the rear, ready to wait for the recruits to cover them to complete the task after they finished the task, and used this similar method of "cheating" to avoid the high risk of the cube mission.

Xing Tian originally thought that such a large number of recruits with no mission experience would receive a C-level task at most, but who knew that Luo Wei was missed, he single-handedly raised the task of the whole team to the B-level, which paralyzed several recruits.

Xingtian shot a magazine empty again, snorted, and scolded: "No! The newly issued standard equipment can't beat this B-class mutant creature! Put on our own gear! ”

Under Xingtian's orders, he and 10 veterans changed into the equipment they had exchanged in the cube and launched an attack on the mutant butcher.

Generally, the training objects of recruits are blood wolves, how can they fight B-level mutant butchers when they come up? So now it's chaotic on the recruits' side.

Xingtian was holding a small cannon-style equipment in his hand, a CCC-level weapon, which blew the butcher back again and again with a loud roar.

Although it did cause some damage to the mutant butcher, it was nothing to this high-level zombie-like creature, and it rushed towards it with a sky-shaking pace against the wild bombardment of several veterans.

"! Evacuate!! Xing Tian didn't expect that the mutant butcher would have such a big improvement in flexibility, and as soon as he finished shouting, the butcher had already rushed to his side.

Although Xingtian has no problem dodging this blow, Mo Qian next to him may not be, and this punch will directly turn into a meatloaf.

Xing Tian gritted his teeth, to be honest, he wanted to slip away by himself, but at this moment of life and death, he remembered that the old cat had always taught him not to abandon his comrades-in-arms before his death, and after a very short mental struggle, he insisted on carrying Mo Qian, and then fled.

But this action affected Xingtian's best time to escape, and before he could take two steps, the butcher's fist smashed down.

Just as Xing Tian and Mo Qian were about to be attacked, three thunderous gunshots rang out on the hillside not far away.

The sudden three shots hit the butcher's raised fist, and the huge impact directly exploded this indestructible fist.

Luo Wei put away the overheated Desert Eagle, took out the red umbrella, and walked indifferently towards the mutant butcher, he could have used the Magnetic Rail Sniper Rifle to deal with this mutant creature, but the Magnetic Rail Sniper Rifle has expensive ammunition, so it is better to save it.

"Roar!! The mutant butcher felt Luo Wei's powerful aura for the first time, and his huge body was like a running rhinoceros, rushing towards Luo Wei.

In an instant, the butcher's fist hammer slammed directly into Luo Wei's body, and blood splattered for a while.

Just when the butcher thought that he had killed the boy and was about to turn around to deal with the others, a sense of oppression that he had never felt before came from behind.

When the butcher turned his head, the twelve-foot-long crimson umbrella became the last thing he saw in his life.
