In the endless wasteland, let alone the living, there is not even a ghost shadow.

"The Wasteland of Ten Thousand Beasts" is the name given by the later colonists, but in fact, there are no beasts at all, to be precise, there are no living beasts. During the First Greenwich War, Beacon Mars was captured by the Silicon Charm Alliance and was modified. At that time, it was a military camp for the Silicon Charm Army and a domestication ground for Silicon Beasts. Throughout the war, the Silicon Charm Alliance cultivated and trained countless silicon beasts here. After the war, Beacon Mars was abandoned due to severe environmental damage. Although most of the Silicon Beasts were wiped out by the Galactic Alliance's forces during the war, a few survived and gathered here. After the human legions took over Beacon Mars, it took decades to clean up the silicon beasts here. It was at this time that the unreliable name "Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland" was born.

For Wick and other inhabitants of Mars, the Beast Wasteland is no stranger.

Wick's village is hundreds of kilometers away, and most of the inhabitants of Beacon Mars live nearby, as the products of the Beast Wasteland are the main source of livelihood for almost all inhabitants. For Wick and others, the most important thing in their daily life is to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland to "hunt for treasure". Most of the time you go home empty-handed, if you find a treasure, even if you can't make a fortune from it, it can keep the whole family fed and clothed for months to come, or even years. In fact, those merchants who came to Beacon Mars were just to buy the products of the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland, that is, the corpses of silicon beasts, or other useful things, such as the life crystals of high-grade silicon beasts.

There are indeed a lot of silicon beast corpses here, but there are not many high-grade silicon beast corpses, and life crystals are even rarer.

The corpse of an ordinary silicon beast is not worth a few dollars, and even the corpse of a high-grade silicon beast is not of much value, at most it can only be used for collection. What is really valuable is the life crystal, but the time for the Silicon Charm Alliance to occupy Beacon Mars is very short. Moreover, the transformation of Beacon Mars is not thorough, and high-level silicon beasts have not been cultivated here during this period. Most of the corpses and life crystals of the high-level silicon beasts found here are the cars of the war kings or generals who died here during the war, and a few are the ordinary silicon beasts that survived and evolved naturally after surviving for thousands of years. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland is very vast, as far as Wick knows, it has been nearly a thousand years. Less than ten life crystals have been found here.

Of course, Wick and the others are not here to find the life crystals of high-grade silicon beasts.

The war has been going on for months, and there are daily casualties. Three days earlier, the leader had given Wick a mission to take a team to the Beast Wasteland, where he would lurk, and tell him to take reinforcements to the Resistance camp as soon as he encountered them.

It's been a few months. The leader mentions reinforcements for the first time.

Although he was very excited, after coming here, especially after waiting for three days, Wick's mood gradually calmed down.

At least in the last three days, nothing has been found. Not to mention reinforcements, I didn't even see a ghost.

In fact, after the Silicon Charm army occupied Beacon Mars, to be precise, destroyed the villages and towns of the aborigines. He didn't go out very often. Most of the time, the enemy hides in four large military bases located on four continents. Even occasionally, patrols are sent out to find and attack the inhabitants who are hiding. They also do not move far from the base, and each search operation lasts for a short period of time, usually only a few days. In fact, this is also the main reason why Wick and others were able to survive. If the enemy occupying Beacon Mars had been attacking regularly, Wick wouldn't have lasted that long. If nothing else, the environment of Beacon Mars is very harsh. Even the toughest people can't stay in the wild for long. If you go out, you must wear protective equipment and bring an air purifier. In other words, each outing must be limited to before the air purifier consumes photovoltaic energy, i.e. before the camp must be returned. If it is surrounded and suppressed by the Silicon Charm army. You can't stay in the camp for long, and you don't have enough time to recharge your air purifiers. Direct exposure to the poisonous air of the beacon spark can cause a normal person to be poisoned and paralyzed within five minutes, and lose their lives within ten minutes.

Wick couldn't understand why the leader was so sure that reinforcements would arrive and appear in the Beast Wasteland.

You know, in the past few months, the Silicon Phantom army has rarely come to this hellish place. The reason is also very simple, the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland is the worst place in the entire Beacon Mars. In addition to the fact that there are more toxic substances in the air, unexplained natural disasters are often occurring here.

According to the legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, these unexplained natural disasters are all caused by a silicon beast that has survived for thousands of years and has been hiding under the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland, and the toxic materials in the atmosphere of Beacon Mars come from this silicon beast, and Beacon Mars will eventually be devoured by this silicon beast.

Of course, this is just a legend.

Although Wick hadn't been to the underground of the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland, and didn't know if there was a giant silicon beast down there, no one had ever encountered a living silicon beast in the past few hundred years. Besides, if there was a silicon beast beneath the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland, and it was big enough to pollute the atmosphere of Beacon Mars by breathing, I am afraid that it would not only bring unexplained natural disasters, but would definitely have caused Beacon Mars to collapse long ago.

Because no one would hide in the Beast Wasteland, the enemy who occupied Beacon Mars did not send a legion.

Of course, three days is not a long time.

According to the leader's command, Wick and the others were to wait here for at least ten days. If, after 10 days, there is no movement, they can return to the camp.

For this purpose, Wick and they all brought two sets of air purification devices.

When fully charged, an air purifier is capable of using one person for seven days. The two sets were fourteen days, and even if they had trouble on the way back to the camp, they had four days to deal with the enemy. Of course, Wick didn't think he would get into trouble on the way back.

In fact, those Silicon Charm armies just occupied Beacon Mars and did nothing else.

This is also understandable, although Mars is extremely valuable in the route through the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, the entire Greenwich Line has been lost, the human legion has retreated to the home galaxy, and the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance have not yet made a decision to enter the war. In other words, the invading Silicon Charm army will not encounter a real enemy in the short term, and this strategic route is not so important.

Besides, when the Human Legion launches a counterattack, I'm afraid the Silicon Alliance won't need this route.

Of course, Wick didn't think that much. He's just carrying out the task given by the leader, and all he has to do is wait a few more days in this hellish place.

If reinforcements arrive, it will be even better.

Even if reinforcements don't arrive, the battle still has to go on, and life has to go on. Wick knew full well that it was the leaders, not the reinforcements, who kept them going.

In fact, no one expected the federal authorities to send reinforcements.

Quite simply, Mars is a barren land and far from its home galaxy. In a situation where the home system is under attack and almost all of the colonial systems have fallen, the federal authorities are first and foremost concerned about defending the home system, followed by retaking the fallen colonial systems, especially those that are valuable. It is only after this that colonized planets like Beacon Mars that are not of much value will be considered. If the situation is bad, even after launching a strategic counterattack, the Human Federation may not immediately send troops to retake Beacon Mars. If, as in the last Greenwich War, the Human Federation had to turn the tide of war in fifty years, there would be little more hope.

Hearing a commotion behind him, Wick looked back.

Crawling towards him was Jaime, one of his men, from another village, but the two had known each other for a long time, and that was here. That was a few years ago, and Wick still remembers it vividly. The two of them found a silicon beast corpse at the same time, and they also fought over it. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and since then, the two have often gone to explore the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland together, and they have not only become friends, but also have been friends for a long time.

"Did you find anything?"

Wick shook his head and handed the Primal Probe to Jaime.

This is given to them by the leader, according to the leader, the reinforcements are very strong, there are many soldiers, and they will appear directly on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland. It can't be detected by ordinary means, and can only use the Origin Detector, that is, through the Origin Wave to find those soldiers with hidden whereabouts.

"Isn't it a waste of time, you say?"

Wick glanced at Jaime and said, "What, you think the leader is lying to us?" ”

"No, of course not." Jaime smiled reluctantly and said, "Just, do you know the leader?" I asked people, but no one knew where the leader came from. That's right, if it weren't for the leader, we'd be doomed long ago. The question is, don't you think it's weird? ”

"What's so strange?"

"Each time, the leader was able to accurately judge the enemy's movements and then lead us in an attack. Although we lost a lot of brothers as a result, we also won a lot of victories. What I have always wondered is that the leader never left the camp, how could he know the enemy's movements? Taking this mission as an example, why did the leader think that reinforcements would arrive and would definitely appear in this hellish place? ”

"If we can all guess, the leader is not a leader."

Jaime pursed his lips and said, "It's not just me who has this kind of suspicion, there are many people, and Yanke even thinks that the leader is a retired soldier and a soldier. ”

"Really?"

"This is what Yang Ke said himself, if you don't believe it, ask him."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Wick smiled faintly and said, "You also said that if there was no leader, we would have been doomed a long time ago." In any case, we should not doubt the leader. Since the leader thinks that reinforcements will come, and will be here, we just have to wait patiently. ”

Jaime didn't say anything more, he just felt strange and not suspicious of the leader.

"Okay, you watch, I'll go down and rest."

Before Wick could get up, the ground shook slightly. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Primal Probe in James' hand.

Jaime felt the tremors as well, and stared at the Origin Probe.

The indicator light is not lit, but the pointer on the panel is shaking violently, indicating that an Origin Wave has been detected, and it is still a very powerful Origin Wave. (To be continued.) )
