Early the next morning, Cen Mu and Jin came to the gate of the town as promised.

After a day of revision, recuperation, and the preparation of enough supplies, this hunt operation should be foolproof.

Cen Mu and Jin were wrapped in strips of cloth from head to tail, revealing only their two eyes, all of which were treated with insect protection, so as to prevent them from being harassed by insects in their latent state, and each carried three pots of water, ten days of dry food, and plenty of ammunition.

Cen Mu advanced a BFG sniper rifle and 20 armor-piercing rounds in advance, which would be a sharp weapon against mutant beasts, and for this reason, Cen Mu mortgaged Thor on Ling Tian's side.

Looking at Ling Zhan and Ling Ding again, their equipment is even more perverted, wrapped from head to toe under a set of gray-yellow leather suits, without any exposed parts, and without a single button or zipper, this is a whole set of wilderness multi-functional combat uniforms, from the appearance, it is impossible to see what functions this dress has, however, Cen Mu has seen the exchange list, he understands that this is a set of equipment that does not appear in the points system, not to mention other functions, the appearance alone makes people feel too cool!

Ling Zhan was equipped with two strange daggers, while Ling Ding was equipped with a two-handed broadsword.

Hunting high-level mutant beasts, it is difficult for ordinary thermal weapons to cause effective damage, and thermal weapons that can deal effective damage cannot ensure the integrity of the prey, so cold weapons have become the only choice.

In a state of imminent battle, Ling Zhan became restrained and silent, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, sharp and pressing.

Facing the morning sun, stand at the gate of the quiet town.

Ling Zhan took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice: "This time I am the operational commander of the squad, Cen Mu is the deputy commander, the main firepower output, Jin is the scout, mainly responsible for the peripheral vigilance and the cleaning of peripheral interference factors, Ling Ding is responsible for the main target containment, I am the main attacker in close combat, this is their respective division of labor positioning, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!" The three of them said in unison.

"After the start of the operation, no one can question the orders of the commander, remember! I don't care who you are! No privileges! Only commanders and comrades-in-arms, only obedience! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Ling Zhan said: "Very good, you put this on," Ling Zhan handed Cen Mu two headset-like equipment, and said: "This is a wireless communicator, with an effective distance of 1,500 meters." ”

Then, Ling Zhan flipped the headset, found a red button, and said: "This is the control button of the microphone, press it to turn it on, press it to turn it off again, the switch will have a voice prompt, and this light on state will not affect the listening of communication information." In addition, I would like to emphasize one more point, unless you report the situation, do not make a voice in the communication channel at will, only the commander and the deputy commander can give orders, understand? ”

"Understood!"

This was Cen Mu's first contact with the command of the regular army, although he had no training, he also knew the importance of military discipline, and he could only set a good example for Jin with practical actions, so as not to bring big trouble to the operation due to the loose nature and unprofessionalism of the wilderness people.

Soon, the four of them left the town and disappeared into the vast tundra, and just as they disappeared for a while, another shadow was found from the town, this shadow was very strange, when you focused on him, you felt that he was always wandering in the line of sight, and if you were not careful, you would ignore it unconsciously......

Today, Ling Zhan's target was a high-level sand lizard, which was over ten years old.

It stands to reason that this is a longevity, and may even immortalize the attribute, however, the vast majority of the sand lizard will still age, and even die, the reason for their aging is the loss of genetic tissue, the genetic organs are becoming more and more unstable, and the function of cell metabolism is lost. The data shows that this type of gene is a half-finished product in the evolution of the lizard, in other words, this "longevity gene" is not perfect, so that it gradually loses its function over time.

The normal lifespan of the sand lizard is five years, and usually, after the sand lizard grows to the third year, the genes begin to become unstable, and then the sand lizard begins to decline, and various attributes begin to decline until death. However, some of them are different from the individuals of the entire ethnic group, showing the characteristics of longevity, which federal scientific research agencies believe is a variation! It's a valuable variant! Many high-level people in the city are very concerned about the mutations, and perhaps the "longevity genes" of these mutant individuals contain the code for immortality.

It is said that there is a sand lizard that exceeds the sixth order in the Mangyuan, it is the "Earth Walking Dragon" mentioned by Duoduo before, since the known traces of it, it has existed for at least forty years, and many people are eager to get it, but they can't find its trace, so they turn to the next best thing and target its descendants, and this time the target is one of its descendants.

In the points system, it is as high as 500 exchange points, which is a big guy worth 5000 federal shields, and after completing this task, Cen Mu will get half of the points for exchanging field suits.

The sand lizard has a fairly large range of movements, and most of the tundra has his footprints, so the hunt will probably not go well.

Ling Zhan quickly issued an order in the channel, and the four of them searched in three ways, he and Jin each went all the way, Cen Mu and Ling Ding went all the way, Ling Zhan had seen Cen Mu's prediction ability, and he felt that Cen Mu took care of her, which was far more reliable than himself.

Ling Ding grumbled and said, "Hey! Sir! Why did you put us in a group?! Aren't you afraid that he will bully me? ”

When these words came from the communication channel, Ling Zhan's eyes suddenly darkened, and the solemn atmosphere and army discipline that he had finally created instantly returned to his original file.

Ling Zhan knew the consequences of being more honest with her, so he had to explain in a different way: "He is better at assisting than me, believe in him, and you will be able to exert your maximum strength!" ”

Ling Ding muttered, "That's pretty much it!" ”

Ling Zhan covered his head, sighed, and continued to search.

A carpet search is only the first step, as the sand lizard has its own unique track of movement, leaving trails on its tail on bare ground, and a small scent of its saliva dripping into the dirt, the stronger the smell, the shorter the elapsed time.

In addition, Ling Zhan and Ling Ding carried a special military-made equipment for tracking sand lizards, and after scattering in a certain area, this area will be monitored, once the sand walking lizards pass through the monitoring area, they will leave traces on the holographic map of Ling Zhan and Ling Ding's sensor helmets, and other creatures will be filtered out, I have to say that federal technology has reached an unbelievable level.

"Suffocated!" After a while, Ling Ding took off her helmet and combed her hair.

Cen Mu said: "If you don't wear a helmet, you won't be able to hear the instructions of the command channel." ”

Ling Ding asked rhetorically, "Won't you tell me?" ”

Cen Mu was helpless and said, "You are so unruly, no wonder you were bitten by a snake last time." ”

Ling Ding didn't care about Cen Mu's criticism, and said, "I was careless last time!" Besides, you're pretty good! ”

Watching Cen Mu easily and freely push away the startled creatures along the road, Ling Ding was very comfortable, and consciously found a good assistant, his face probed the grass, provided vision, checked and filled in the gaps, and did not lose the mending knife.

Cen Mu suddenly finished speaking, and only said in a half-loud voice: "I'm so good, I don't see you paying more wages." ”

Ling Ding waved her hand and said, "On the issue of salary, you are looking for my uncle!" Seeing Cen Mu completely suffocated, Ling Ding looked very happy.

In this way, Ling Ding's task is simple, she only needs to scatter some detectors every once in a while.

……

As expected, the first carpet search did not find the target, but encountered a big one, warning in the communication channel, the three teams quickly got together, this big one was much smaller than the last one, Cen Mu didn't want to waste the armor-piercing bullet, Jin took the lead in injuring this big man, Ling Zhan killed this beast with a knife, its value was not high, everyone simply buried its corpse, and dispersed again.

Towards noon, the temperature began to rise, and everyone sat around for lunch, and the futile effort of four or five hours in the morning somewhat undermined the morale of the squad.

Ling Zhan said: "The efficiency of our search is very low, I want to ask you if there is any good way?" I don't want to wait like this, it's too inefficient. ”

Cen Mu thought for a while and said: "This search is not in vain, at least, the net has been laid out, and you can focus on searching the area near the water source later, I think, the probability of encountering it will be much greater." ”

Ling Zhan pressed it somewhere on his right arm, and with a buzzing sound, a holographic map appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this is a map of the tundra region.

Ling Zhan said: "I also thought of this, but, you know that the waters of the tundra region are controlled by high-level mutant beasts, and there are about eight known more powerful beasts, basically all of them are above the third order, they have their own territories, and how the specific territories are divided, I don't know, but what is certain is that our team has passed, and there is basically no need to think about coming back." ”

Cen Mu groaned, "Let me try it!" As you know, my instincts are very accurate, and my movement speed is not slow, so if I want to escape, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Ling Zhan frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be too risky?" ”

Cen Mu said with a smile: "Wealth is in danger, besides, Uncle Tian tricked me in because he expected me to do these things." ”

Ling Ding chuckled and said, "Don't arrange Uncle Tian like this!" ”

The crowd laughed.

Ling Zhan thought for a while, took out an object the size of half a finger from the upper of his shoe and handed it to Cen Mu, saying: "This is a high-explosive grenade, press this button, it will explode in three seconds, and the effective range is 50 meters, which is 10 times the equivalent of ordinary police grenades." ”

Ling Zhan paused and said, "Don't use it until the last moment!" Its damage to high-level mutant beasts is limited, and it's not even as good as your bfg, and I'm worried that after you use it, it will anger the beast herd, and it won't end well. It's loud enough to create chaos, and when you retreat, if you use it well, maybe it can save someone's life at a critical moment. ”

Cen Mu took it and said, "Don't worry, I have the ability to disguise." ”

Ling Zhan punched him and said, "Which sniper doesn't have a certain camouflage ability, be careful, if there is a situation, report it in the communication channel in time, and we will come soon." ”

Ling Ding said loudly: "Hey! Playing card! We didn't know the winner last time! You must come back! I'm still thinking of beating you up! ”

Cen Mu smiled and said, "You will have this opportunity." ”

With that, he nodded at Jin and walked deeper into the tundra......
