38. Gray Wilderness
"The castle lord has left the gathering place last night, and before leaving, he specially asked me to see you off." Lin Fu looked at Su Huan, who had come to the castle early in the morning, and explained with a smile.
"The Grizzly Bear Forest is about one or two hundred kilometers away from our gathering place, which is not a long distance, but it is not easy for people who do not have any wilderness experience to walk, and it usually takes a day or two without accidents, so the castle lord arranged for a few people to send you there before leaving."
"Zhang Cheng." Lin Fu suddenly shouted outside the door.
Hearing this, a burly man wearing a black combat uniform, leather combat boots, a single hair, a resolute face, and a very refined temperament immediately pushed the door and walked in.
"Boss, Master Su." The sturdy man saluted respectfully after a military salute.
"This is Zhang Cheng, one of the tactical leaders of the Black Light Guards, and their team will escort you to the Grizzly Bear Forest next." Lin Fu said to Su Huan.
"Next, Zhang Cheng will introduce you to your itinerary along the way, and I will leave first if I have something to do."
"Slow down, Boss." Su Huan said politely.
After Lin Fu left, Zhang Cheng first took out a cylinder shaft from his backpack, took out a wrapped map from it, unfolded it, and put it on the table to show Su Huan.
Zhang Cheng followed Su Huan's line of sight, pointed to a black dot in the center of the map with his right hand and said, "Lord Su, this is the location of our black light gathering place." ”
Su Huan looked at the map with interest.
Although this was not his first encounter with maps, as a gathering place who had never been to the wilderness, his shallow knowledge of geography was not as rich as this military-grade map.
"And this is our destination this time, a small and medium-sized gathering place on the edge of the Black Bear Forest, Rivet Town." Zhang Cheng's finger tapped a sign south of the black-light gathering place.
Su Huan looked towards the location of Rivet Town, not far away from a large overlapping triangle icon symbolizing the forest.
recalled the words of Wang Yan and Lu Yu, and vaguely understood the incomprehension.
"The town of Rivet is only a little more than 150 kilometers away from our black light gathering place in a straight line, but only half of the distance between the two places has repaired roads, so the actual route is relatively tortuous, and with the dangers and uncontrollable factors that may be encountered on the way, it will take us about one to two days to arrive."
"We started by following the repaired southern highway in the Gathering until we reached a wilderness section that hadn't been repaired."
"Then go around several dangerous areas where dangerous populations are entrenched, repair overnight at a rest point on the way, continue to rush the next morning, after all, it is taboo to travel at night in the wilderness, and finally walk on the extension of the southern highway, driving more than ten kilometers, you can reach the town of Rivet."
Finally, Zhang Cheng asked, "Master Su, do you have any questions?" ”
Su Huan was looking at the map with relish, and he didn't react for a while when he heard Zhang Cheng's question, until Zhang Cheng repeated it again, and then he came back to his senses and asked, "Your map has a map of the Gray Wilderness Wasteland, is this a general term for an area?" ”
"Yes, Lord Su, our black light gathering place is located on the gray wilderness, and the rivet town and grizzly bear forest we are about to go to are also located on the gray wilderness, this is an extremely vast area, there are dozens of large-scale gathering places, hundreds of medium-sized and above gathering places, and small-scale gathering places and wilderness camp camps are ten times, or even dozens of times this."
"I don't have any more questions, when will I go?" Su Huan asked.
"My team members are already on standby, ready to go at any time after replenishing their weapons and equipment."
Then Zhang Cheng took Su Huan and the four black light guards who were waiting outside, and came to the equipment warehouse of the black light guards in the castle to receive equipment.
The four soldiers of the Blacklight Guards are all the best of the Blacklight Army.
This can be seen from the temperament of the four.
One is majestic, almost a lion tiger, one is of medium stature but extremely muscular, one is fierce, and the body is as burly as Zhang Cheng, and the last one does not look strong but is tall and thin, and his eyes are very sharp.
The shortest of the five was also half a head taller than Su Huan.
When he came to the equipment warehouse, Zhang Cheng directly showed the task book with Lin Fu's seal.
The manager of the equipment depot took the task book, looked at it, stamped it, and then handed over the several weapons and ammunition supply boxes that had been prepared to a few people.
Zhang Cheng opened the supply box and checked it a few times, then locked it again.
Then everyone went to another supply warehouse belonging to the Black Light Guards and received compressed biscuits, military canned food and several large buckets of clean water.
Afterwards, several people boarded the carriage of the castle with a few supply boxes and a few bags of supplies in their hands, and went to the parking lot of the south gate of the gathering place.
The carriage was the one that took Su Huan to the castle in the morning, and a lot of Su Huan's luggage was already piled up on it.
Zhang Cheng got out of the car with the five people and went straight to the parking lot, and quickly found the vehicle assigned to him.
A seven-seater light armored vehicle, the self-made Black Traveler light armored assault vehicle in the Black Light Gathering Area, compared to the Black Walker heavy armored vehicle that Su Huan had seen, the armored defense was slightly weaker.
However, compared with the nearly ten-ton Black Walker armored vehicle, the Black Traveler, which is only four or five tons and half lighter, is obviously more agile, faster, more passable, and more adaptable to the changing environment in the wilderness.
Several people put Su Huan's luggage in the trunk of the car first.
The vast majority of them are food for dragons, snakes, and lizards.
It's just that this time, Su Huan no longer uses aluminum cans that occupy a lot of space and get in the way to serve food.
Instead, the two types of food are packed separately in two large, special aluminium sealed boxes.
So this time the luggage looks much smaller than the last time I went to the northern section of the defensive line, but the weight is even better.
Then several people put the supply box and supplies in the trunk that was still spacious after stacking Su Huan's luggage.
Zhang Cheng unlocked it again, opened the supply box, and began to distribute weapons.
"The standard pistol" Eagle Falcon "from the Arsenal of the gathering place, one per person. ”
The "Eagle Falcon" pistol is black, only the handle is brown, Su Huan has seen Huang Chengzhu and others use it when he was on guard at the No. 7 sentry in the northern section, using 9.9mm caliber bullets, the power is not small, and the recoil is also not small.
"Falcon assault rifles, also one per person."
Speaking of which, the pistols and rifles were distributed to everyone, and even Su Huan was given one.
"One Eagle Fire S2 infantry heavy machine gun, one Eagle Sweep light machine gun, two Eagle Sniper rifles, and one fierce fire grenade." Zhang Cheng kept taking out all kinds of light and heavy weapons.
"Five boxes of various types of bullets, a total of 50 high-explosive grenades, anti-personnel grenades, flashbangs, smoke grenades, and incendiary grenades."
"One flamethrower, two cans of compressed fuel."
"Good guy, there is also this big killer, the imitation of the Iron Hammer Bazooka of the Iron Fire Industrial City, and the six matching Iron Hammer III rockets, which are the advanced and dangerous species of the complete stage, and if you take a frontal hit, this thing will be seriously injured if you don't die."
As he spoke, he opened the last case, pulled out a few parts from it, and quickly assembled a weapon that was narrow in the front and wide in the back.
"Coupled with the two Eagle Fire S3 vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns on this Black Traveler armored assault vehicle, this kind of firepower is more than enough to attack a small gathering place." Zhang Cheng filled a rifle magazine and patted the thick armor of the assault vehicle and grinned.
Several black-light guards also smiled when they heard this.
After several people had checked the weapons in their hands and there were no problems, everyone got into the car one after another.
There were seven seats in three rows, and there were only two people in each row, and Su Huan sat in the driver's seat on the right side of the second row.
The medium-sized, but extremely muscular black-light guard took the car keys from Zhang Cheng's hand, started the assault car, and slowly drove towards the outside of the city.
It didn't take long for the assault vehicle to drive out of the last checkpoint of the southern section of the defense line and completely leave the safety zone.
Driving on the endless wilderness road, Su Huan looked at the scene outside the window with great interest.
Compared to the sentry post, the real wilderness is more inhospitable, and you can see wild beasts and even dangerous creatures from time to time.
However, these creatures are apparently aware of the dangers of being close to the road, and all of them are moving within a hundred meters of the road, and will not approach the road at will.
Both sides of the road are overgrown with tough weeds that don't decay even in the cold of winter.
The road surface of many sections of the road has been cracked, and in some places even the roadbed has been damaged.
However, this road condition is already good, at least for an armored assault vehicle with an extremely high chassis and wide wheels, there is no problem with passability at all.
According to Zhang Cheng, after walking through the section of the road that had been repaired by the engineering team of the construction site of the gathering place, the roads after that were as dilapidated as ruins and broken walls, and vehicles could not pass through them at all, so they had to choose to detour through the wilderness.
