Chapter 30: Smelters
When Jiang Yuan's team came to the gate, there were already three teams waiting. Li Qinglong's team was impressively in the column, and judging by their location, they should be the first to gather at the gate. It's right to think about it, this joint operation is for the three mercenary teams, one of which is led by one of Li Qinglong's deputies, and he is more anxious than anyone else.
At the head of the team were the members of the base garrison, and they were much more numerous this time than when they were transporting food, almost forty or fifty people, but this number also almost emptied the entire garrison headquarters.
Chu Tianming sighed twice, and said in his heart that Mo Er is really bloody, I am afraid that there is no defense force in the base now, if the mutant beast attacks at this time, the result will definitely be miserable. But this is also imagining in his heart, and he doesn't want this kind of thing to come true.
At the head of the line was an armored warrior, but a woman.
Chu Tianming could see at a glance that it was the captain of the garrison, Lily of the Valley, but her armor was a little different from others'. Although her face is still semi-closed, most of her body is covered with armor, and her armor also has thrusters, and on her armored arm, there is a green display with a line that keeps spinning, like a radar scan.
"Communication Radar!" Chu Tianming almost let out an exclamation, causing Jiang Yuan, who was closest to him, to turn his head to look at him.
"What did you say?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Chu Tianming secretly pointed to the front of the lily of the valley and said: "Lily of the valley has a communication radar installed on its armor, I have never seen this kind of thing in this base, let alone a radar, even an anti-jamming communication device!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan also stretched his neck to look at Lily of the Valley, his eyes gradually became hot, and it was obvious that he also saw the radar display on Lily of the Valley's arm.
Before he could speak, Moore had already arrived at the gate, stood on the table on duty at the door, and said: "This task is arduous, and there are many participants, everyone must work together to complete this mission." There was a task in that area to bring back a piece of equipment, a key accessory for metal smelting, and this mission is still valid. This operation is led and commanded by Captain Lily of the Valley, and Li Qinglong, the head of the Qinglong Mercenary Group, is his deputy, okay, let's go. ”
After Moore finished speaking, he jumped off the table, stood to the side of the gate, and watched the team of a hundred or dozens of people set off.
The target location was more than a hundred kilometers away from the base, and it was said that it was no longer within the actual control of the base, and the three missing squads would not run there for no reason, unless there was something there that attracted them.
With this question, Chu Tianming followed the middle of the team and headed towards the target location. After walking a distance, Chu Tianming looked up again and couldn't help but be stunned. The teams were clearly distinct as they traveled, with members of their respective squads grouped together and keeping a certain distance from the rest of the squad. It's a sign of mutual distrust, and if that's what they do, they're half the battle.
Lily of the valley also looked back and saw this situation, but she was helpless, although she was the commander this time, but she knew in her heart that these people would not really listen to her at all. What she was worried about now was what to do if she ran into an enemy. Is it just the current state to fight separately?
However, she still had a long time to think about it, after all, the mission was relatively far away, and in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they could not travel quickly. Lily of the valley intends to arrive at the designated area in the afternoon of the next day.
After a long day of travel, the joint operations team chose a relatively open place to set up camp. In the place where the camp was encamped, one fire after another was lit, and they were still gathered together in small groups.
Li Qinglong, as the boss of the base's mercenary team, turned a blind eye to the current situation, perhaps in his opinion, this situation was normal, and even they themselves did it. The members of the mercenary team can trust their teammates unconditionally and give their backs to their teammates without any scruples, but they can't easily hand it over to an outsider.
Li Qinglong was the only member of the entire joint action team who took off his armor, which made Lily of the Valley very unhappy. Li Qinglong is the deputy conductor of Mohr's own words, but now he has a clear attitude that he will not listen to his command. And when it is necessary to spend the night in the field during the mission, it is not allowed to take off the armor is not only a strict rule for the garrison, but also an unwritten rule in the mercenary squad.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the night, and by the early morning of the next day, everyone had set out on the journey again.
Along the way, the joint operation team almost did not encounter mutant beasts, only once encountered a few mutant dogs, which were hacked to death by the members of the garrison in front, and there was no need for the mercenary team behind them. Chu Tianming knew that all of this was thanks to the radar of Lily of the Valley, which could scan the situation within a radius of two kilometers, and this radar had obviously been modified to clearly scan mutant beasts.
It's another day's journey, and it looks like the distance should have reached the target location. However, there is no need to carefully calculate the distance, not far from the joint action team, there is a huge factory ruins standing.
"Is that the factory?" Li Qinglong tilted his head and looked at Lily of the Valley.
Lily of the Valley shook her head and said, "The intelligence only shows that they are missing in this area, but there is no direct evidence pointing to the factory. ”
"What should I do, will I go find out today?" Li Qinglong said, I don't know what the reason is, it actually made Li Qinglong suspicious at this time.
"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow." "Set up camp on the spot today, look around tomorrow before entering the factory." ”
The teams began to camp busily, and Chu Tianming looked at the factory from a distance, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.
In the evening, the black wolf team gathered around the fire, and Chu Tianming said in a low voice: "Be careful tomorrow, I always feel hairy in my heart." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I feel the same way." ”
There is a garrison vigil at night, so there is no need for other mercenary squads, and they all rest and sleep early. Lily of the valley hasn't rested yet, and she's still thinking about tomorrow's actions.
The next day, Lily of the Valley briefly divided the teams into areas and asked them to search the surrounding area for possible traces of the three missing teams, but unfortunately, they found nothing. Thirty or so people, as if suddenly the world had evaporated, disappeared silently.
Lily of the valley has no choice but to take the factory as its main target now. Although this factory looks suspicious, Lily of the Valley knows in her heart that the reason why these teams are willing to enter the factory to take risks is most likely for that mission.
Because, on the other half of the gate of this factory, which has not yet collapsed, a few words "Dahua Smelter" are vaguely printed.
