Chapter 497: The Storm Rises
"Haven't you arrived yet?"
Looking through the steamy car window and looking at the snow-covered road in the distance, Shen Cheng, the leader of the Kun Gang, was a little puzzled.
Obviously, the emptiness and loneliness of the convoy all the way made him misjudge the speed of time. It's only been 30 minutes since the last question, and it seems like it's been an hour or two since he asked.
"Passing by this fork in the road, drive five kilometers to the east, and it should be the Xiaowan Town mentioned in the Fang Alliance's main mission."
Huang Zhaodong put one hand on the steering wheel, and with the other hand, he flipped through the somewhat shabby map of the civilization era next to him, and quickly gave an accurate answer.
This old driver, who is almost forty years old, was newly promoted by Shen Cheng. With the experience gained in the second beast tide, he finally rushed to level 15, mastered the latest skills, and steadily stepped into the door of the second line.
"It's five kilometers away...... The snow day really delayed things. ”
Shen Cheng sighed boredly and couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't understand why the Fang Alliance Leader would suddenly arrange such an unexplained task for the Kun Gang.
Of course, for Fang Jinmeng, who single-handedly supported himself, Shen Cheng himself had no complaints - and he didn't dare to have it. What he complained about was that the mission was strange no matter how you looked at it: with a full fifty-five bronze masters, and they had to set off overnight in strict secrecy, the result was to come to such an abandoned town to find a missing thief!
This year, the professional disappeared outside, and the result could only be one.
Die!
The difference is nothing more than dying at the hands of Warcraft, or dying at the hands of someone else.
Even if you want to investigate the situation, it is enough to send a team over. Fifty-five bronze ranks are too much fanfare, right......
Or is there some secret behind this?
"President, look! Tire prints on the snow! ”
Huang Zhaodong, who was driving, suddenly discovered something and alarmed Shen Cheng.
Glancing out of the window, Shen Cheng was suddenly shocked. This deserted town, at the end of the second year of the last days, should have been untouched for several months. But this obviously has only left a large number of car indentations for a short time, what is the situation?
There was a large convoy that rushed to Xiaowan Town before them?
Is the other party friend or foe?
Or is it just a coincidence?
If it was an enemy, could it be that they had accidentally discovered their whereabouts and were ambushed in front?
A series of doubts instantly surged into Shen Cheng's mind. Some people may laugh at him for thinking too much, but after nearly 2 years of stumbling and crawling in the last days, Shen Cheng really didn't dare to have any careless paralysis - especially, his own strength was not strong enough!
"What did the ranger who hit the front station say? Did the Scout Eagle find anything? ”
Just when Shen Cheng asked loudly and hesitated whether to call the parking team immediately and send someone to investigate first, a signal representing safety had already been sent from the front.
A false alarm!
However, the convoy quickly stopped.
Shen Cheng stepped forward quickly, passed several modified off-road vehicles in front of him, and walked to the front of the convoy. Not far away, his own ranger had already connected with two thieves who didn't know when they were guarding the place.
One of them is none other than Su Xingfeng of the Salvation Guild!
Although he had only seen it once, Shen Cheng was quite impressed by this person, knowing that he was one of the cadres of the intelligence department of the Salvation Guild, and his status was not low.
"Why is he here?"
If Shen Cheng only instinctively felt strange before, then after seeing Su Xingfeng, he was almost sure that there was something wrong with his mission this time.
"President Shen, thank you for your great support, 55 bronze ranks, very good!"
Su Xingfeng greeted him politely, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and greeted the convoy parked outside and drove into the dilapidated and barren Xiaoyi Town.
There were already three teams, arrived before them, waiting here.
"Li Fan of the Freedom Alliance?"
"Hey, isn't that the Ngee An League, which only accepted seventy or eighty professionals before the beast tide and has been developing well recently?"
"The mysterious council, which has always been very low-key, has also come."
The elites of the Kun Gang, looking at the hundreds of bronze-level professionals who arrived first, each of them was carefully selected and extraordinary, and they couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, and couldn't help but whisper.
At this point, even the most unresponsive person realizes that something is wrong.
Even if their No. 55 master really came to search for a missing person from the Rescuer's Guild, then what are these three guilds doing in front of them?
"Please don't be impatient, there is still one yet!"
Su Xingfeng explained loudly, looking at what he meant, it was obvious that he would wait for someone to wait for Qi before announcing the real task.
Everyone is here, what else can Shen Cheng say?
Seeing Su Xingfeng leave this remote town again and go out to pick up people, Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment and paced in front of Li Fan, the leader of the Freedom Alliance.
Although the scale of this free alliance is not large, it was almost brought out as a negative example when the alliance was first founded, but after that, because it was interesting enough, the development was not bad. In addition, this time the beast tide they withdrew quickly enough and did not suffer too many losses, and this time they even casually brought out 40 bronze-level professionals.
Even if it's the Mystic Council, the scale of this trip is nothing more than that.
"President Lai, long time no see."
After saying hello, Shen Cheng leaned next to him and asked in a low voice, "What do you think about the secret convening of this alliance?" ”
"What can I think?" With a perfunctory look without a trace, Li Fan said with a smile: "What the leader of the Fang Alliance explained, let's just follow it, it must be right." ”
Shen Cheng rolled his eyes and continued to ask unwillingly, "I mean, President Li arrived before me, didn't you hear any rumors?" ”
"No, no." Li Fan shook his head and said seriously: "Didn't Brother Su say it, waiting for everyone to announce it, there is obviously something important." He doesn't say, how could I possibly know? ”
Seeing that he was determined, Shen Cheng was not sure whether he knew it or not for a while, and he was really a little depressed.
But fortunately, there is a sincere person next to him.
Wang Guogang, the vice president of the Mysterious Council, saw the two of them meet, leaned over, and said familiarly: "A few people present, I should be the first to arrive, and I chatted with Su Xingfeng for a while." He didn't say anything, but I probably figured out something. ”
"Oh?"
Shen Cheng perked up and looked at Wang Guogang, expecting him to say something in advance.
The kingdom just glanced left and right, and saw that the only few members of the Salvation Guild didn't look at this side, and immediately said mysteriously: "The scale of this operation is larger than you and I imagined, and it is likely to be a transfer of the entire alliance level. You can imagine for yourself that the last time there was a water crisis, everyone joined forces to defeat the fish-man tribe in Chaohu Lake......"
"Shhh
Whether it was Shen Cheng or Li Fan, who already had some ideas, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard Wang Guogang's words, and his heart thumped nervously.
The Rescuer's own strength can mobilize more than a thousand bronze ranks. If you add the strength of the entire alliance, the total number of masters is afraid that it will exceed two thousand!
In the entire Baishan River Basin, and even in the entire Anhui Province, which force is worthy of such a big move by that Fang Alliance Leader?
Almost subconsciously, Shen Cheng and Li Fan turned their heads to look at the north!
The storm is coming!
