Volume 2: The Pure Land in the Wilderness Chapter 84 The North
Driving out of the North City Gate off-road, the first stronghold of the coordinate law enforcement forces in the north, that is, the first front.
Ye Chen originally took advantage of this mission to take a trip to the Y1 base, where there were many equipment that he could bring to Jill even if he didn't use it, but after checking it, he found that the location of the Y1 base was in the pelvic plain, which belonged to the connection between the south and the middle, and if he wanted to go this time, he would have to take a long detour, so Ye Chen gave up.
Times City is in the easternmost part of the continent, and it takes three days to cross all the way north and reach the northern front.
"The prey is not dead, what the hell is going on up there." Looking at the off-road in the distance, a sentry at the North City Gate looked suspicious.
The one-way communication of the sentry only had one chance to be used, he estimated the direction Ye Chen was heading, thinking about something in his heart, for a long time, he took off the special military uniform of the outpost and slipped out of the back door.
Three days passed in a flash, every day passed, the surrounding temperature had to drop by nearly ten degrees, and when Ye Chen came to the northern region, the surrounding temperature was already minus thirty degrees, ordinary mutants could not survive at this temperature at all, and those who could adapt to the environment were the law enforcement forces from Times City, and the original residents of the north.
In the old era, the northern inhabitants were inaccessible, and after a series of large-scale disasters, the number of the original few inhabitants declined rapidly, and in the old era, the reproductive ability of the northern residents was no different from other places, but in the new era, it was obvious that it would be reduced to a great level, not only the reproduction cycle, but also the success rate of reproduction.
The wilderness in the north is deeper than Ye Chen imagined, compared to the east, which has snow all year round in winter, there is very little snow in the north, and the cold air around it and the pale gray thick lead clouds make the north a desolate and barren scene.
This kind of environment is not at all something that ordinary mutants can survive, even if the original inhabitants here have certain mutations and antibodies to the environment, but ordinary mutants still can't survive here, and the current north is more like a dead domain.
Perhaps, in the depths of the north, there is still a city, or many gathering places, otherwise, what would they do to confront the generals of the law enforcement army, Ye Chen didn't understand why there was this war, if it was just for territory and status, the territory occupied by Times City was already large enough.
He is just a small lieutenant, he can't change the decisions of the big people in the city of the times, and he can't change the direction of history.
As a special case in the law enforcement army, the law enforcement knight is not the key to the life and death of Times City, he can not obey any military orders, any dispatch in the army, or he can directly refuse, so although Ye Chen is only an individual force, no one can order him, although he has a certain amount of restraint, but on the whole, he is still like a lone wolf in the wilderness.
There are only a few hundred law enforcement knights born in Times City every year, and in the past few decades, there are no more than 10,000 at most, and the number of law enforcement forces, not to mention hundreds of thousands, the exact value is still unknown.
The desolation in the north is more serious than in the south, where traces of human activity and dilapidated tents can be seen more or less at intervals, while in the north, it is real and desolate.
It rarely snows in the north, for several days, the thick snow may be piled up several meters high, and the rocks under the wheels are frozen with a thin layer of ice, making the ground smooth, and there are too many obstacles in this plain for ordinary vehicles to drive here.
Judging from the map route in the light curtain, Ye Chen has already arrived at the territory of the law enforcement army, but at present, this barren area really has the meaning of occupying, even in the old era, this barren land will definitely not be listed as a place for development, around the era city, there is a good land that needs to be developed, and it is not the turn of the south to be here.
Ye Chen's speed was not fast, and suddenly, a faint white light flashed in the corner of him, he tilted his head slightly, and found that some kind of metal seemed to be buried in the barren earth, because of the reflection, plus the distance, he couldn't see clearly.
The front of the car turned around, and after a few seconds, Ye Chen turned off the engine and pushed the car door, the cold rock continued to transmit cold air to Ye Chen's military boots, Ye Chen's soles had an indescribable feeling, he bent down and scratched the ground with a melee fighter, most of the ground here is still dirt, and there are few rocks, but the hardness of this soil is no worse than ordinary rocks.
Ye Chen had already seen the glowing metal clearly, it was indeed metal, but if you look closely, it is more like the rumored head of a robot, you must know that in the history of the old era, there was absolutely no robot, and the new era is only a few decades, technology has regressed instead of progressing, how could it create such a nondescript thing.
It took Ye Chen a long time to dig out this half of the mechanical head from the mixed soil, the ratio of the soil and the rock here is not harmonious, as if a large area has been excavated, Ye Chen even doubted that this would be the mass grave mentioned in the old era, all the defeated or killed northern soldiers were buried here.
Ye Chen's excavation skills are not bad, this half of the mechanical head was not damaged because of his excavation, the entire mechanical head seems to be cut by a laser in the center, flat and smooth, Ye Chen weighed the weight, this half of the mechanical head is nearly twice as heavy as the entire head of an adult mutant, this may be the reason why it has been frozen for a long time, and the weight should be slightly lower.
In terms of weight alone, if this is a robot, he will only save the brain and nerves of the mutant at most, and the rest of the parts, even the bones, will have to be transformed, not so much a robot, but a robot, in Ye Chen's eyes, the robot is more like a body part transformed into a machine, rather than the whole body, including the head.
This half of the mechanical head, for some reason, was not completely buried by the land, Ye Chen used the blade of a melee to pick the ice above, and found that its eyes were also different from normal people, ordinary people's eyes could not be empty, even if they were dug out after death, it was impossible to leave such a big hole, it was certain that this was definitely not a robot.
The warriors of the north call themselves the Mechanical Legion, which may be a combination of robots, mutants, and robots.
Needless to guess, it must be the largest number of robots, just like the ordinary soldiers of the law enforcement forces.
Ye Chen had read the information of the old era, in the old era, the development of robots was very rapid, and there were even faint traces of cross-era, but after all, it was still a step too late, facing the beginning of destruction, at the beginning of the new era, science and technology regressed rapidly, raw materials were scarcer than food, most of the land was extremely serious in terms of nuclear radiation, the earth was full of holes, and a barren land like the north could create a technology that was more advanced than Times City?
Although Ye Chen didn't believe it, the facts were already in front of him, and this half of the robot's head was the best proof of this.
Since it is a robot, there must be some kind of medium for starting, it may be energy, it may be oil, or electricity, there is no case, Ye Chen can't analyze it, there is too little information that this half of the machine's head can refer to, Ye Chen looked at it a few times, and then threw it back into the distance, there is no need to bring this kind of thing back to study, the value is not high.
The off-road fire was restarted, and the wild roar sounded again, Ye Chen turned around and headed to the gathering place of the law enforcement forces in the north, which should be not far ahead.
In the rumors of Times City, the overall situation of the law enforcement army in the north is not favorable, this is definitely not groundless, think about it, the mechanical army in the north has a lifeless robot to play the forward, after the robot is damaged, it can even be recovered and used, and the only advantage of the law enforcement army may lie in the strong, and in the mechanical army, there may be some strong people in charge, which leads to a stalemate in the war, and the loss is obviously not a concept compared to the development of the south.
This kind of war, one more Ye Chen, one less Ye Chen, naturally no harm to the battle situation, Ye Chen arrived, and he didn't expect to be able to change the situation here.
Off-road all the way to the high slope, in just a few seconds, came to a plateau of nearly 100 meters, in the line of sight, a small city with dim lights, into Ye Chen's sight, there, should be the headquarters of the law enforcement army in the north, as for the first line, it should be dozens of kilometers further, or even a hundred kilometers.
