Chapter 15: The Village

Out of the dilapidated gate of the warehouse, Jiang Yuan asked the team to repair in situ, it was now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the entire operation to clear the warehouse had been carried out for more than three hours.

He unfolded a paper map showing the actual area of control around the base. On the map, there are five large red dots, and Jiang Yuan has made a black cross on the one on the far left.

The five red dots are the locations of the five missions they are going to do, and the one that has been crossed out is this warehouse. Follow a trail on the map, five kilometers to the west, where another red dot is located, and the map is marked with a village.

The name of the village is no longer known, and the quest only hints that there may be survivors in the village, but the exact situation is unknown.

There is no way to do this, the war has destroyed this land, even the original villages have long been razed to the ground, no mercenary team will venture to check the situation, and the official base will not be.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the time, turned around and said, "Rest for half an hour, and then continue to set off, we will spend the night in the village tonight." ”

This is also part of the plan, two missions in one day, although the distance is only a few tens of kilometers, but the many crises on the road are always hindering their actions.

Half an hour passed, and the seven members of the resupply team were simply reinforced, and they stood up again and marched in the direction of the village. Everyone has turned the power supply of the armor to a minimum, turned off all unnecessary power-consuming functions, and they must keep the armor full of energy, otherwise there may be an accident during the battle.

However, it is precisely because of this that the electric power level of the armor has been reduced, and their travel speed is a little slower.

An hour later, the scorched yellow sand in the distance had changed a little, and some of the shadows appeared to be shadowy, looking like simple houses built.

From a distance, the Black Wolf Squad was already close to the village.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, signaled everyone to follow, adjusted the power to the normal range again, and walked towards the village with some heavy steps.

The sun was setting in the west, the yellow sky was a little dark, and nothing could be heard but the wind, and it was extremely quiet.

The armored steel leggings made a dull "pop" sound when they stepped on the ground, which was a bit harsh in the quiet environment.

After more than ten minutes, they walked to the edge of the village. Up close, the situation in the village is even more miserable, with a dozen houses scattered across the land, no fence outside the house, and a fence around the outer perimeter of the village.

It's barely a village.

Judging from where Chu Tianming and the others stood, there was no trace of human activity here. Maybe someone re-established a new village on top of this village, but with the rampant mutant beasts, people may either enter the base or become food for the mutant beasts.

Jiang Yuan swept back and forth, tilted his head and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

The Black Wolf Squad walked along the dirt road cut by the house and headed inside, the outermost door of the house was gone, and the inside was also a mess.

"It's been a long time since there's been no one here, right?" Or that Sun Li, he said, "Is there a mistake in the mission issued by the base, where does it seem that there are food materials here?" ”

Chu Tianming put the gun on his back, walked to a house with a closed door, and stretched out his hand to push the door.

With a "clang", the door collapsed, and the sudden noise made everyone look at the position.

Chu Tianming waved his hand, fanned the dust stirred, and walked into the house. The house was poorly furnished, with a bed, a chair, a table, and a wardrobe, but all of them were in tatters, and some of them had some blood stains and marks of fighting.

"It really doesn't look like there's anyone left." Chu Tianming walked out, looked at the inquiring eyes of the others and said, "There are traces of a fight and blood stains inside, but there are no corpses. ”

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, this kind of trace is not a good thing, maybe the mutant beast once raided the village. If there are no corpses, it may be that the mutant beasts have taken away the corpses and eaten them, but that doesn't mean that those mutant beasts won't come again.

"Be vigilant and keep going." Jiang Yuan didn't stop too long, and continued to walk towards the village with the others.

It's a village, but to put it bluntly, it's a big open space with houses built on it. It won't take long to get all these houses around.

When the sun went down, the Black Wolf team inspected all the houses and found nothing, which couldn't help but be a little frustrating.

Jiang Yuan chose a larger house as their temporary residence. The heavy armor was inconvenient to enter the house, so it was neatly placed at the door. Chu Tianming had the intention to take back the armor, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea.

"It's really unfortunate to come across such a task." Sun Li began to complain again, "How did the base get it, or is their source wrong?" ”

Jiang Yuan smiled bitterly: "This is also a matter of no choice, most of the mission locations are in the materials left before the war, and they really don't know what to do now." ”

Chu Tianming thought for a moment and continued: "Maybe there is no error in their news, it is what has happened in this village, and whether anyone has come to the information change, which caused the mission brief to be wrong." But you can't blame us, Captain? ”

"Of course, if the situation in the mission location is different from the published mission, of course, we can't be blamed." Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "There is a detailed process in the mission record, and the base will not let the mercenary team run for nothing, but this reward is not what the task says, but according to the task level, the standard reward will be given." ”

"It's really unlucky." Sun Li complained and lay down in the sleeping bag.

Jiang Yuan looked at his watch, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and there was no entertainment in the wilderness, in fact, people had long since lost any entertainment, and under the huge crisis, they hid in their nests early as soon as it was dark.

"Put out the fire and rest early. Nothing has been found here, so we'll go on our next mission tomorrow morning and then return to base. Jiang Yuan said, then walked to the door and said, "I'll stay guard for the middle of the night, and the old skin will change me in a while." ”

Lao Pi agreed, and got into his sleeping bag.

It didn't take long for a slight snoring to sound in the room. The team has been running around for a day, and after a battle that is not too intense, they are already exhausted.

Jiang Yuan held the alloy knife in his hand and sat in the corner of the wall by the door, feeling any wind and grass in the dark night.

A gust of wind blew, and the cold wind that came in through the crack in the door made Jiang Yuan feel a little cold, and tightened the clothes on his body.

The earth's climate has become extremely abnormal, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, scorched by the sun during the day, and cold at night like autumn and winter. It's like the desert climate in the past, but it's worse than the desert climate!

As the captain, Jiang Yuan's physical exertion was only greater than that of others, and his spirit was already tired, and before the old skin came to change him, he had already begun to take a nap.

Another gust of wind blew, and the loud sound of the wind drowned out all other sounds, and Jiang Yuan's spirit regained some consciousness, but his throat was cold.

"What ......"

"Shut up, don't talk!" A light reprimand sounded in his ears, and it was at this moment that Chu Tianming also opened his eyes.

But it was too late, and the sudden influx of people from outside the door had already completely controlled them, and the torches in their hands lit up the room.
