Chapter 271: Empty Stronghold

It's been two days since the day's fighting......

It stands to reason that in terms of the distance from the Lianhu base in the city center to the underground fortification built in Xiajian, with Xie Cong's strength now, without any burdens, he can rush with all his might, and two days is enough time for him to go back and forth!

But why is he here now?

And it's so embarrassing? At first glance, it looks as if you have just come down from the battlefield, and you haven't even had time to wash off the blood stains on your face!!

……

In a sense, what caused Xie Cong to be so embarrassed and miserable was actually none other than himself!!

When he was with Xia Jian, he seemed to be very embarrassed, but in fact, most of them were skin injuries.

The only key injuries are the ribs that were broken by Xia Jian's sneak attack at the beginning. But that didn't hurt the heart, and with Xie Cong's current system, it wasn't too serious!!

The real source of his current misery is the needle......

To be more precise, it's the medicine in the syringe!!

Although that potion could greatly increase Xie Cong's strength in a very short period of time, in the next week, Xie Cong would be in a weak period, and his strength would drop to the level of an ordinary third- or fourth-level enhancer!

From a general-level mutant to an ordinary third- or fourth-level enhancer, such a large amplitude is equivalent to being abolished for Xie Cong!

But if it was just like this, Xie Cong would not be down to this extent now. Anyway, it's also a little stronger than ordinary people. You can still do it if you barely protect yourself!!

But the problem is that the Tibetan mastiff put too much pressure on him at that time!!

In order to ensure a successful escape, he unleashed all his potential. Forcibly exercised the earth-moving technique that he had not yet fully mastered! In the end, because he was not proficient enough to master the ability, coupled with the weak state after using the potion, his mental power was exhausted, and he almost fell into the ground and couldn't get out!

Perhaps what happened to Xie Cong in the past two days is in response to the sentence of self-inflicted!

Isn't it!!

If he hadn't been dizzy by Xia Jian and didn't want to slaughter the entire base, he wouldn't have injected himself with such a potion with such a big side effect......

That way he wouldn't be stuck in the ground all night. It's just a little bit before he is suffocated to death!

……

But now after all the hardships and dangers, Xie Cong has finally returned to the city center!

As a matter of fact. Ever since he stepped on this street, he had already entered the radiation range of the Lianhu base!

In this area, not only all the survivors have joined the base, but even the dark chasers in the vicinity. It is also used by the fighters in the base. Repeated purging no less than ten times!

'Huh?'

When passing by an independent building that was relatively well preserved, Xie Cong finally stopped, and after waiting in place for a while, he suddenly looked up at the top floor of the building with a little doubt!!

'Why hasn't anyone come down yet?!'

After standing in place and waiting for about ten minutes, the doubt in Xie Cong's eyes at the beginning was quickly replaced by anger......

'The ...... of the Female Pony'

Immediately afterwards, I heard him rarely burst into a foul language (it seems that since being pitted by Xia Jian, Xie Cong has become extremely irritable, and he used to be elegant. At this point, he is gone!).

Despite the weakness of his body, he rushed into the building with great momentum......

No wonder Xie Cong is so angry!!

This is an outpost on the periphery of the Lianhu base!

Specially used to warn dark chasers. Alien survivors, as well as all sorts of contingencies!

The importance to the entire base cannot be overstated!

And more importantly, before this, these outposts were under the jurisdiction of him Xie Cong!

Now that he has been away for less than a week, the staff in these outposts have been lax to this extent! Even after standing under the stronghold for so long, no one even came to ask!

Remiss!!

This is a grave dereliction of duty!!

Xie Cong was already angry enough, and even at the expense of exhausting his physical strength, he had to rush to the stronghold on the roof of the building and teach the staff here a hard lesson!!

However, when it took Xie Cong nearly a quarter of an hour to finally climb to the stronghold on the roof of the building, he kicked open the door of the stronghold with a foot in anger......

'......'

Xie Cong's anger was as if he had been doused with gasoline, and in an instant, his reason was completely swallowed up!

There wasn't even a ghost in the stronghold......

Looking at the empty stronghold, Xie Cong was so angry!!

I worked hard outside, and I almost lost my life, these brutes are good, put a sentry, and they will leave their posts without permission!!

Xie Cong is more than just angry now......

He had a strong urge to kill!

……

With this resentment and anger, in the next hour, Xie Cong inspected three more strongholds in a row......

Just like the first stronghold before, these strongholds, without exception, turned out to be empty!

'This is ......'

Looking at the empty stronghold in front of him, Xie Cong stood on the spot......

With the appearance of one empty stronghold after another, Xie Cong's anger that he thought was that the duty personnel had skipped work had already dissipated!

Instead, anxiety ......

If there is only one stronghold without people, it can be said that it is a problem of the duty personnel!

But if all the strongholds are like this, then even if Xie Cong is a fool, he can see that something is wrong!

An emotion called uneasiness quickly grew in Xie Cong's heart......

I didn't know what it was, Xie Cong naturally thought of Xia Jian, and thought of the terrifying creatures that were all over the mountains and rushing towards him......

Xie Cong's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat......

"It can't be that kid who took advantage of this gap and took that group of terrifying mutated creatures to sneak attack the base, right?!"

Take Xie Cong's understanding of Xia Jian. This kind of thing, Xia Jian, a ruthless guy who suppresses it, will be retributed. I can definitely do it......

(Xia Jian: 'We really want to do this!') But the problem is, we don't know that you unlucky ghost almost buried yourself alive, and you haven't gone back yet! Moreover, we have a lot of seriously injured people waiting to be rescued in our own home!')

With this kind of worry, Xie Cong couldn't care that he was still weak, and endured the discomfort of his body. Quickly rushed towards the Lianhu base......

……

In fact, since arriving at the first stronghold, Xie Cong has been very close to the downtown park!

Don't forget. The reason why the downtown park is also called Lianhu Park is precisely because it is built by the mountains and rivers!

The Lotus Mountain, where the base is located, is surrounded by a man-made Lotus Lake. To a certain extent. It can even be called an island! Just a narrow, winding water corridor connects to the outside world!

It is precisely because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, that Xie Cong and Huo Jie chose this place as their base at the beginning!!

However, the consequence of this is that even if Xie Cong has now arrived at the shore of Lotus Lake, he still has to travel a long distance to reach the entrance of the water corridor!

But the closer he got to the entrance of the water corridor, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in Xie Cong's heart became......

Although there is no body seen yet!!

But gradually more and more messy footprints appeared on the snow. The bullet casings that have not been buried in the snow and the new bullet holes in the walls of the buildings lining the streets are all indicative. Not so long ago, there was a battle......

With all kinds of apprehensions, Xie Cong quickly rushed to the vicinity of the water corridor!

The scene that appeared in front of his eyes made his heart chuckle......

Everywhere you can see huge charred craters, large patches of red, shocking bloodstains, and stumps and broken arms that have not yet been examined......

Even the security booth used by the sentinels to stand guard in memory was replaced by a huge crater......

In Xie Cong's experience, not only did there happen to be a battle here, but both sides of the battle even used all kinds of heavy weapons with great lethality in the battle!!

However, to Xie Cong's comfort, at least until now, he had not seen a complete corpse!

What does this mean?

It means that the battle is over, and the battlefield has been cleaned!!

Since the battlefield will be cleaned after the war......

Then Xie Cong thinks that the possibility of the victor being his own side is relatively high!

……

However, when Xie Cong crossed the water corridor and entered the range of Lianhu Mountain, where the base was located, his heart involuntarily hung again......

Compared to the vicinity of the entrance, the battle in the Lianhu Mountain area was much more tragic!

Along the way, the various strongholds on the road seemed to be ploughed by artillery fire.

It can be seen that the attacking side not only has terrifying firepower, but also has rich combat experience......

But because of this, Xie Cong was a little skeptical of his previous judgment - it was probably not those people from the underground base who attacked the base, because as far as Xie Cong knew, just those group of mud legs, let alone firing the cannon, I'm afraid most people haven't even touched the gun until now!

So who the hell is attacking the base?

With this question, Xie Cong came to the entrance of the base with anxiety......

OK...

Didn't show up what he was most concerned about......

On the newly built city walls and gates, although they are scarred and damaged in many places, at least, Xie Cong saw a lot of figures, busy repairing these damaged places under the city walls and gates.

There are also many familiar figures, patrolling the neighborhood......

Xie Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief......

No matter what happens, at least the base is still in their own hands.

'Look, somebody is coming......

'Why does it seem familiar?'

'I'll go see ......'

Someone finally discovered Xie Cong......

A patrolling soldier, with a gun, walked up quickly.

Glancing at the visitor, Xie Cong finally showed a smile......

'Xiao Liu! It's ...... me'

Suddenly hearing Xie Cong's voice, a look of disbelief flashed on Xiao Liu's face, and then he was shocked and rushed to Xie Cong: "Team Xie?!" It's really you!! What's wrong with you? What about them?'

Xie Cong showed a wry smile......

I was about to say something, but I didn't think about it at this moment, a strong feeling of dizziness hit.

Then there was a sudden darkness in front of him......

Xie Cong, who had seriously overdrawn his physical strength, finally couldn't support it at the moment when his spirit was relaxed, and he completely fainted......

'Come on!!' Captain Xie is back......

'Send someone to inform Captain Hoda......

Immediately, Xiao Liu's slightly immature voice instantly resounded over the base...... (To be continued.) )
