Chapter 69: Mutation
readx;?“ You must be careful on the way back, the monster riot has been getting worse and worse recently, and we encountered two demon corpses when we came, so we had to bypass it from a distance, delaying a lot of time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
During the handover, a fighter who led the team said to Captain Li with a solemn face.
"Okay, we'll take care of it."
The way back to the station was much more difficult than when I got up.
Even if he was reminded by others to be vigilant, the number and frequency of low-level demonic creatures still exceeded everyone's imagination.
Especially since it's still noon, it stands to reason that it should be the time when monsters are the rarest. If all the monsters are so irritable at this time, I'm afraid it will be more serious at other times.
Captain Li obviously also recognized the seriousness of the problem, and shouted loudly: "Everyone hurry up, this road is too dangerous now, you must return to the station before evening!" ”
"Good!"
The crowd responded awe-inspiringly.
However, since there are nearly half of the ordinary aboriginal miners in the team, the speed can only be increased slightly, and it is inevitable that they will encounter a lot of monsters.
By the time the group stumbled back to the south gate of the station, two and a half hours had passed, only half an hour faster than when they set off to go to the mine.
While waiting for the city gate to open, many people couldn't help but look behind them in fear, the risk encountered on this road just now is not small, and the slightest carelessness will be in danger of life.
At this time, Captain Li's clothes were already a little messy, and he had obviously experienced a lot of battles.
He glanced at the entire team, and although most of them were worse than he looked, the number remained the same as when they left the mine, and there was no attrition.
Then he said to Chu Fang sincerely: "I didn't expect the situation to be much more dangerous than what they said, fortunately, Senior Brother Chu, you commanded the team to avoid a few large monster groups far away, otherwise it would ......"
Senior Brother Li shook his head with a bitter face, as if he had thought of something extremely bad, and did not continue.
Chu Fang gently put away the goblin telescope in his hand and responded with a smile: "This is as it should be, and our luck is not too bad, at least the demonized creatures above the third order have not encountered it." ”
"But these monsters have really been in a lot of trouble lately, and I don't know what the situation is at the station now."
Speaking of this, Chu Fang looked at the mottled battle marks on the outer city walls, and his tone gradually became heavy.
Captain Li nodded sympathetically.
After entering the garrison through the city gate, although it was only a short interval of three days, the changes in the garrison were also beyond everyone's expectations.
The once bustling streets are now nearly halved, and many of the shops on both sides are closed. The people passing by, whether they were sect disciples or aborigines, were basically carrying weapons and moving in a hurry, and everyone had gloomy faces and no smiles.
"According to them, in the past three days, the station has suffered two large-scale sieges by monster groups. Among them, there were many third-order or even fourth-order monsters and demon corpses, even though Senior Brother Ling Feng and Senior Brother Gao Yun used the mountain gate array set up by the sect to turn the tide and repel the attack of the monsters, they still suffered a lot of losses. ”
At this time, Captain Li had just finished talking with several guarding disciples at the city gate, and directly approached Chu Fang's side, and said in a low voice.
Chu Fang could clearly hear a trace of uneasiness and panic in his voice.
"At present, basically all the manpower in the station is rushing to strengthen various defensive facilities, and the various manpower that was originally sent out has basically shrunk back. The mine where we were on a mission continued to work because of the importance of the minerals and the relatively safe location. ”
Captain Li continued to reveal the information in the station, but he only dared to whisper all this to Chu Fang.
"It's so serious!"
Chu Fang's heart sank, this was very likely to be bad news for him, which meant that the difficulty of obtaining contribution points had risen sharply, and it was even more difficult to exchange for ground-level fighting techniques.
"Let's go to the 'Mission Hall' together to complete the mission registration."
Captain Li took a few deep breaths to suppress the apprehension in his heart, turned back and said loudly to everyone.
After passing through several slightly depressed streets, the team finally returned to the complex in the center of the building.
"It's so lively."
As soon as he entered the hall on the first floor, a fighter couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared to the cold outside, the hall was almost full of all kinds of people.
They gathered in twos and threes, and they were discussing fiercely, and the noise was unusual. There are also a lot of wine bottles on the round table, and when it comes to rising, they will pick up and drink a few glasses.
The bar was also full of people, much more than the last time, and it was impossible to see the scene inside.
It looks like almost most of the fighters in the station are gathered here.
Chu Fang listened to it, and a burst of discussion came over.
After listening to it for a while, I found that so many people were mainly discussing two things. One is the decree just issued by the Qingyuan Sect, which will successively recruit the aborigines of the Star Asia World into the sect and become new sect disciples and enjoy all normal benefits.
As soon as this initiative came out, whether it was an ordinary person or a supernatural person, basically all the aborigines were gearing up and eager to join immediately.
Many people still have the idea of taking the opportunity to hug Qingyuanzong's thick thighs.
They had seen the strength of the fighting spirit many times, and they thought that they would also have the opportunity to learn, even if they were resentful of the Qingyuan Sect before, they would immediately lower their heads now.
In the last year, they are deeply aware that their own strength is the real strength.
Another thing is about the recent monster riots and changes in the station.
Listening to their conversation, Chu Fang learned that the situation in the original station was even more complicated and serious than what Captain Li said just now.
Originally, many disciples who were performing tasks outside were directly surrounded by monsters that suddenly appeared, and many people were sacrificed in an instant.
After discovering that the situation had changed abruptly, the station quickly sent a number of elite teams composed of fighters to go out of the city to pick them up.
The consequences of the two monster swarms were also much more severe than imagined.
Many city walls have been damaged, and the refined iron ore produced by the mine is being urgently repaired. At the most critical time, a fourth-order monster broke through the city wall, and Senior Brother Ling Feng forcibly activated the power of the Mountain Gate Great Array to barely kill it.
Chu Fang frowned, he didn't expect things to have deteriorated to this extent.
"The disciples of the sect followed me to the second floor, and the rest of us went to the bar to line up and register the results of the task."
At this time, Captain Li opened his mouth and commanded.
The team was split into two parts, with most of them blending directly into the lobby on the first floor.
The rest of the disciples, led by Captain Li and Chu Fang, stepped onto the second floor after passing the identity check in the stairwell.
