(252) The desire of the heart
After Xiao Yunting recovered from his injuries, he returned to the military base in Fangdu, because Xiao Yunting had been treated in the temple for a long time, the position of military unification in Fangdu was temporarily handed over to another person, Xiao Yunting knew that he was not qualified for the position of military unification in his current state, so he chose the position of squad leader.
In autumn and winter, the cold wind in the west is scarce, and the grass is dry for 100 kilometers in the square capital, and it is gray and gray at a glance, and there is no color.
The whole of Fangdu is also gray, brown, and old copper, and some of the brighter towers that can be seen in the city walls are only artificially whitewashed.
The city is square, and the road to the center is spacious, and it is distributed around the bell tower in a regular manner.
Fangdu's Association of Strangers is set up in the Bell Tower, and the reason why the Association is a landmark, or a landmark is always occupied by the Association of Strangers who controls the highest authority, so this ancient city tower with a long history is always full of people coming and going.
The Drum Tower, where the Hunters' Club is located, is only a thousand meters away from the Bell Tower where the Association of Strangers is located......
The military forces are stationed outside the city, and there are too many threats to this ancient Chengdu, among which the Tomb of the Dead, which is about to be listed as a world civilization, and the Fangling Strange Beast in the northwest have made the city peaceful for a few years.
It is said that whether it is inside the city or outside the city, if you dig 100 meters into the ground, there must be bones!
Bones are not terrible, because they are just the remains of warriors, and what is terrible is that those who have become a corpse, but still remember the creatures of this world.
These creatures often have no memory, no consciousness, and some are like wild beasts with a hungry and killing nature, and if there are living creatures within a radius, they will rush wildly.
Therefore, the Hunter's Club, the Association of Strangers, and the military have endless work to do every month, which is to "exceed" these creatures.
.........
Xiao Yunting had no time to spare after returning to the military base, and his team was sent to the Dead Mountain, which is adjacent to the Corpse Mountain, to search for and rescue another team of probes trapped on the mountain.
The dark clouds above Fangdu obscured the sunlight, so that the undead no longer had to fear the sun, and their presence day and night prevented the team from evacuating smoothly, and two days ago, the base received a letter from the probe requesting reinforcements.
The detectives set off about half a month ago to find out the situation in the restless Black Pool of the Dead Mountain, on the one hand to investigate the growth rate of the undead here, and on the other hand, to disperse the scattered villages near the Black Pool as much as possible.
The people of this land live in a cultivated land with the undead, even if they are not supernatural, they have their own ways to avoid the attacks of the undead, and even some people with strong folk customs are "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains", using the land of the undead to maintain the life of their villages.
This phenomenon is not uncommon in this generation, and has even been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and the undead are like ordinary beasts to these inhabitants, as long as they are done properly, even if they are extremely ferocious, they can kill living creatures when they see them, and they can be safe.
Not long ago, Fangling River was restless, and a strange storm was involved, and those creatures sleeping underground woke up frequently within a month.
There is something awakening, which means that there will be more fighting, the chaos of the Fangling River has also caused this land of the undead to be not as calm as before, those villages that survived in the cracks of the land of the dead with ancient methods have suffered a catastrophe, and four villages have completely disappeared from the electronic map overnight.
Regarding the slaughter of the five villages in the Corpse Mountain, the Anomalous Association has confirmed that the temple was responsible, but the villages in the Dead Mountain were slaughtered by some kind of creature.
The Stranger Association and the military paid special attention to it, so they sent surveyors, and once they detected the diffuse and fluctuating aura of restlessness, they must immediately notify the surrounding villages and evacuate!
However, not long ago, when the surveyors discovered that a scarlet wind was surging in the area of Heichi, blowing all over the land, and went to dismiss the people of the villages in danger in the area of Heichi, there was no news at all.
Although Xiao Yunting got the task of going to the rescue, the surveyors had been missing for almost two months, and the top basically asked Xiao Yunting and others to confirm why these people died, find out their bodies, and give an explanation to the Association of Strangers.
Between the Dead Mountain and Fangdu, there is a whole corpse mountain, which means that if Xiao Yunting wants to rescue the detectors, he must cross the entire corpse mountain and kill them from the pile of undead.
Xiao Yunting understood a lot of things after receiving the task, there were still people in the military base who wanted to get rid of him, and this kind of lifeless task was assigned to a six-person team, and it was impossible to complete it.
But Xiao Yunting still took over the task, it may not be wise to stay in the base, maybe leaving the military base is also a good choice.
"Why did you go early, sent us to find the team that has been missing for two months, why did you go early?" said the scout Feng Ling in the team.
The team led by Xiao Yunting counts him a total of six people, this team is a team temporarily formed for this mission, they are all elites among the soldiers, and they have been running in for a while a few days ago, and generally speaking, the cooperation between several people is not bad.
At this time, Feng Ling and another scout, Mu Yan, walked at the front of the team, Feng Ling was a whiner, and he hugged Mu Yan and complained endlessly from the beginning of the journey.
"It's still Wanqing, this guy is comfortable, sitting on the flying beast, and he doesn't even have to move his feet!" Feng Ling raised his head and stared at a snow-white sky eagle flying high in the middle of the group.
Wanqing is the vice-captain, also the commander, and a summoner, everyone else has to move forward slowly, but she can use the Sky Eagle to walk.
"Don't talk about it endlessly, unless you just follow up and say that you quit and accept the punishment, otherwise you still have to finish it no matter how much you say. "Mu Yan's mentality is better.
"I just like horns! I don't horn for a day, and I feel uncomfortable. Feng Ling said.
............
"Hey, Xiao Juntong ......"
"Rick, where's that birdman from Whiteper? ”
"Captain, he is still meditating in the ancient holy spring of the Xuanyuan family, and the day after tomorrow seems to be the tenth day. ”
"Where are you now, when are you going to report to the Warfighter Base?"
"I just went to Fangdu with my companions from the academy to practice, and after the experience, I went to the base to report!"
"That's pretty much the same, I should return to Fangdu from the Corpse Mountain in two days, and I'll lead you directly to report at that time! It's a pity that this guy Bai Po doesn't mix with me, don't worry, since you follow me, I will cover you in the future!"
"Yes, yes......"
After hanging up the phone, Rick always felt like he had fallen into a thief's den, and Xiao Yunting's tone was full of the smell of a bandit leader.
However, joining the army is Rick's biggest dream, and after Xiao Yunting recovered, he came to Rick and invited him to join the army. It's just that Xiao Yunting is thinking about Bai Po in his heart, and Rick is also very clear in his heart that Xiao Yunting hopes that Bai Po can also come.
Being able to take this step is also a good thing for Rick, and he can learn a lot from Xiao Yunting, and I believe that he can make a name for himself among the soldiers.
Zhan Hu and Kura also have different aspirations, Kula's heart is the Holy Dao Academy, but in order to enter the Holy Dao Academy and become a Holy Dao Envoy, you need to go through the Abnormal Society, so if Kura wants to enter the Holy Dao Academy, he must first become a member of the Abnormal Ones Association, and then enter the Holy Dao Academy through the ascending channel.
Zhan Hu wants to become a member of the trial council, as long as he can be the chief judge, Zhan Hu has nothing to ask for. It's just that the position of presiding judge is not so easy to be able to take, first of all, he must pass the test of the oath tree, and he must also have absolute strength and power.
............
"Captain Xiao, who is it?, smiling so happily?" Meng Han smirked stupidly when he saw Xiao Yunting hang up the phone.
"Ah...... Is it so obvious?" Xiao Yunting scratched his head in embarrassment, he was immersed in fantasizing about what kind of surprise Rick would prepare for him when he came to join the army, and he didn't notice that he had shown his full joy.
"It seems that the captain made an exception to admit a cadet to join the army, right?" said Ning Dan on the side.
"Yes, he is the runner-up of this academy competition, he is an extraordinarily talented child, hot-blooded and hardworking, he will be my drunken and proud disciple!" Xiao Yunting said with a smile.
"The runner-up, and who is the champion?" Menghan asked.
"Why do you care so much about a group of children's small competitions?" Ning Dan said.
"It's not right for you to say that, do you know about the crisis in the source capital this time? That kid is the hero who solved the crisis, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have been in the ground, but unfortunately that guy didn't want to join the army. ”
A group of six people gradually stepped into the area of the black pool.
Black Pond is nothing more than the name of a place, a land where little vegetation can be seen, the soil is soft, and there are often fine black sands......
The black sand is actually the powder of the bones after the wind and the sun are exposed, and then it is infested by the breath of the undead and turns black, which looks like black salt sprinkled on the ground.
The Black Pond is nothing more than this flat land in the southwest of Fangling and the Dead Mountains, because this area is slightly low-lying and subsident, it looks like a pond from the map, and later it was completely called the Black Pond.
A long security boundary has been set up in the northeast direction of the black pond, and most of the security boundaries in other areas are staggered and connected by fortresses, sentry posts, post stations, and enchantments, forming a model that is managed by military districts, hunters, and supernatural associations.
In Fangdu, due to the extremely special ability beasts that inhabit here, the security boundary of Fangdu is not particularly stable, and it is surrounded by a long earthen wall to form an obvious security boundary.
The earth wall is a protective wall set up by the earth superpowers, and the relationship between constant movement has caused some villages that were originally in the security boundary to be inadvertently enclosed outside the security boundary.
If this is on the coast, in the south, in the north, this kind of village that is not within the security boundary is extremely dangerous, and it will not survive for a few years before it may be trampled by the supernatural without a single survivor.
