Dusk slowly sets over the edge of the muddy wilderness, and the darkness of the night gradually envelops the blood-soaked land.

The gunfire had been silent for some time.

However, the gray fog that permeated the surroundings still did not dissipate, but seemed to cover the area farther and farther, from Master Kong's Zhuangzi to the forest north of Hope Town.

On the edge of the south gate, which had just been removed from the barricades.

Ma Hechang, who was standing next to the dirt road, kept looking in the direction of the pine cone wood farm, and couldn't help muttering in his mouth, Lord Holy Son is above.

He used to occasionally hear the voice of the Son. However, after the fog was lifted, he couldn't hear it for some reason. Frightened, he couldn't help but think of what Pastor Wei said.

Maybe..

The Holy Son was really angry.

Just as he was looking into the distance, three people came at the end of the road, led by Kong Lingkai, the owner of the farm next door.

Seeing the hunter who was not surnamed Liu, Ma Hechang's face

Float up disappointment.

Without waiting for him to say a few words, the old man Kong, who usually wanted to plug his nostrils on top of his nostrils, took the initiative to speak in a hurry this time.

"What the hell is going on? Why is there such a fog?"

Originally, he stayed at home and didn't want to take care of it, but seeing that the fog had not dissipated at night, he always had a feeling of restlessness.

I thought of going to a nearby town to ask that Pastor Wei, but he didn't expect to bump into Mayor Ma here, and he instinctively felt that these guys were hiding something from him.

If Ma Hechang usually said politely to this guy, but it happened that he was not in the mood today, so he said impatiently.

"I don't know what's going on, this god is going to fog up, and it's not my business.

Kong Lingkai's face stiffened, he didn't like this guy's attitude, but he really couldn't refute it, so he could only look to the side, gritted his teeth and changed the topic angrily.

"What's weird about this fog, Lao Tzu said a long time ago, it shouldn't have anything to do with those guys in the north, since those people arrived in this place, strange things have happened one after another!"

Ma Hechang disdainfully alerted the corners of the policeman's mouth, and said in his heart that if he hadn't had anything to do with those guys, those green-skinned monsters would have already captured those beautiful mothers-in-law in your family and brought them back to cubs.

Of course, he himself is the same.

"That's enough, there's no point in talking about this now, I've already sent someone to the Pinecone Farm to find out the situation, and I'll talk about it when he comes back."

While he was talking, a horse came running in the distance, and Liu Youxiong, the hunter of the town, was riding on it.

The hunter wanted to run directly into the town, but when he saw the mayor waiting at the door, he was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted.

"Your Excellency!"

Ma Hechang stared at him expressionlessly and asked straight to the point.

"What's going on at Pinecone Farm!"

"The little one didn't go in, he just glanced outside, and he felt" Liu Youxiong hurriedly spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he was impatiently interrupted by the mayor.

"What does it feel? Pick the key points!"

"Yes, yes!"

Liu Youxiong said tremblingly.

"It was so lifeless that there was no one to be seen outside the wall, and when I went to the door, I found that none of the guards were there, and the hotel by the door was empty and haunted. I didn't dare to stay there any longer, and it was getting dark again, so I hurried back."

Ma Hechang was glaring in his heart, and was about to ask what was going on there, but someone was more anxious than him, and Kong Lingkai on the side hurriedly grabbed him and asked.

"Someone is gone?! Where do people go?"

"I, I don't know," Liu Youxiong smiled bitterly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "By the way, on the way there, I saw a group of mutants, probably a thousand of them, fighting with the people of the Alliance."

Kong Lingkai hurriedly asked.

"How do you know it's from the Alliance?!" Liu Youxiong swallowed his saliva and whispered.

"I can see their outer bones at a glance

。 Ma Hechang frowned and looked at him and asked.

"Who won?"

Liu Youxiong hurriedly said.

"Of course it's the Alliance, there is no suspense that the gang won, I saw the airship fire several shots at the head of the mutant, and the whole plain seemed to be completely overturned, and those who survived were quickly killed!"

Ma Hechang took a deep breath when he heard this, and finally knew what the rolling thunder and the earthquake under his feet were in the afternoon.

Kong Lingkai, who was standing next to him, glanced at each other with the two families beside him, exchanging uncertain and blank expressions on his faces.

Just listening to Liu Youxiong's description, the strength displayed by that alliance was not at the same level as theirs.

Seeing that the two big men didn't speak, Liu Youxiong didn't dare to speak, so he stood aside honestly.

It seems that the result of the discussion is out.

Kong Lingkai looked at Ma Hechang and coughed and said.

"Now that the church is in danger, if we help them, it will be a blessing in disguise, and I suggest that everyone have a meeting to discuss how to deal with the threat from the north

"Don't dream," Ma Hechang unceremoniously interrupted the guy's whimsical speech, rolled his eyes and continued.

"The church is finished, and even if there is a meeting to discuss, the discussion is about how to get along with the new owner here."

Kong Lingkai suddenly became anxious, glared at him and said angrily.

"You, you are going to betray the Son!"

Ma Hechang disdainfully snorted the police.

"Come on, do you believe in that thing yourself? I'll tell you honestly, it's a deal, we bought his security in exchange for enshrined him here, and since he doesn't have the skills to protect us, don't brag about that.

As he spoke, he glared meaningfully at the farmer.

"I've heard that the Coalition forbids the slave trade, so I advise you to prepare as soon as possible."

After glancing at Kong Lingkai, who was as earthy as his face, Ma Hechang turned around and returned to the town, but instead of immediately going to the town office to gather the big people in the town, he went to the church first.

Something has to be clarified.

Pushing open the door, he called out to Pastor Wei, but saw that no one answered, so he went around to the backyard again, and when he looked up, he saw a person hanging from the willow tree planted in the courtyard.

The man was neatly dressed, his neck was crooked, his eyes were closed, his face was serene, and there was not a trace of pain on his face.

Ma Hechang was stunned for a moment, then his face was as pale as earth in fright, he took a step back and stepped on the stone, and sat down on the ground without standing firmly

"Old Wei?! Pastor Wei?!

He subconsciously called twice, but Wei Ming had obviously been gone for a while, so he naturally couldn't respond to his call.

Ma Hechang's lips trembled and he couldn't speak, he didn't get up from the ground for a while, and just sat in a daze.

He's dead.

The bishop's appointed priest, the only man in the whole town who could contact the bishop.

He died like that?!

Night 10: "! Our mission was completed yesterday!"

The event post was sent out less than a minute later.

The forum that was still bragging about farting and playing stalks instantly boiled!

For mutants as creatures, there is no such thing as a family.

Even in a large mutant tribe like the Qi tribe, which has inherited some human habits, few people remember which female they were born to.

After all, when they were born, most of them were accompanied by only the priest who delivered the baby. Not to mention the fathers, they don't even see the face of their mother—a priest usually covers their face, and soon after giving birth decides whether to send them to the barn or the kitchen.

Since there is no concept of family, and there is no property to inherit, most mutants naturally do not have a name until they receive a name from their leader.

However, while most mutants don't have names, they still have a way of distinguishing each other from each other.

For example, the most common is "nickname".

That is usually the loudest cry they have when they are born, and the priest who delivers them will tell them what they have shouted, whether it is made up or really impressive.

For example, some people call it "ah", and some people call it "whoa", or "wah", "babble" and so on.

These are the most common nicknames, not to mention the entire tribe, there are more than a dozen duplicate names under one account.

It's not uncommon to call the wrong person after shouting a nickname, but it doesn't matter if you call the wrong person.

For example, if a leader tears his throat and shouts, "Hum, roar, follow me to hunt", then dozens or hundreds of minions will soon stand up and cheer.

If there are too many people, he will kick out a few of the skinniest-looking softies. And if there were fewer people, he would shout, "Ah, come along!" , and then the number of heads that are not enough can be made up quickly.

For humans, this is often called management chaos, but for mutants it is more convenient.

They are all good at killing people and setting fires.

As long as you have enough people to do, what does it make if you go to them?

No matter who they go, they will not be prevented from sitting on a mountain of enemy corpses and eating meat!

A long night passed.

The next morning, the sun had not yet risen.

The dilapidated and abandoned city was hazy, and the air was filled with a rancid smell, like a moldy sackcloth covering the mouth and nose.

Anyone can feel physical discomfort.

However, the mutants of the Qi tribe only felt the excitement of blood debt.

At this moment, a rough roar was heard from outside the human skin tent, followed by the sound of gunfire into the sky.

"Human! Here it comes! Hmph, ahhhhh 「

The roar had not yet fallen, and soon there was a roar from Wuyang Wuyang.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Hmph——!

"Ahhh

Awakened by the sound of chirping, he snorted while still asleep, and rolled over and got up with his groggy head.

It grabbed the blunt knife and iron barrel rifle leaning against the edge of the sleeping bag, and before its blood pressure could rise, it went to the open space outside the tent and roared at the dark, damp concrete ceiling.

It's how it shows its prowess.

Only the bravest warriors were able to get the attention of their chiefs and be taken out to hunt the weak, two-legged animals.

Yu Guang glanced at the scrawny human things in the cage in the corner, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile.

It's such a weak thing, and you dare to take the initiative to send it to your door!

It will let them know what cruelty is!

As if satisfied with the spirit of his men, the big man standing in front of the clearing nodded approvingly, and then slapped his slap violently.

In that gruff and loud voice, he roared. "Follow Delu! Go chop off the heads of those bugs!"

Hum Wei waved the guy in his hand like the other mutant brothers beside him, and responded to the leader's shouts with an excited roar.

"Whoa!!

The mutants were shouting excitedly when a thunderous cannon exploded on the ceiling above them.

Vast clouds of dust and stones were shaken off by the deafening sound and spilled on their heads and chests.

However, among the mutants standing here, none of them showed a frightened expression.

On the contrary, I am more and more excited!

Sturdy concrete bunkers are everywhere in the city

Be!

With the protection of these reinforced concrete, the steel airship floating in the sky can't help them at all!

And once you get to the city—

It's their home turf!

"Kill them!"

"Roaring ——!"

At Dero's command, Hum carried the guy in his hand, followed behind the muscular green-skinned brothers, and poured into the surface ruins one after another down the gloomy stairwell, waiting for the end of the coalition bombardment.

The thunderous sound of the cannon lasted only about five or six minutes, and then the sound of shouts and crackling gunfire rang out in the nearby city.

The brothers in the lair next door had already engaged in a firefight with the soldiers of the Alliance on the edge of the city, and although the fog could not see the situation in the war zone, the sound could tell that these guys were coming.

Hum clenched the rifle in his hand, grinning at the corners of his chapped lips, revealing his bloodthirsty teeth, and snorting heavily.

"Humph"

It seems that this banquet can be enjoyed to the fullest!

......

Under the abandoned office building, there are nothing but bangs

In addition to the sound of gunshots, there were also a group of newcomers shouting.

"Cover me!"

"Pull the gun, brother!"

"Such a big fog pulls the hell! I'm done!"

"Whoa!"

Just when the old players were still advancing forward step by step, a group of second-hand newcomers had already taken the still hot first-hand newcomers to the mutant position

Up-rushed.

There are all kinds of various operations.

Due to the old tradition of the alliance, each player was given a dynamite pack for "denying", and a new person called the Demoman slapped his head, and simply concentrated all the "white gift packs" of a team of four people on himself, and connected them into a big guy with an astonishing amount, and then rushed to a place with a lot of mutants with the hope of the whole team.

As a result, before the person could run to the mutant's face, he was broken by a stray bullet on the battlefield.

couldn't watch the explosives bag go to waste, and the three teammates could only pick it up, so they staged an extremely heroic scene of the gourd baby saving grandpa.

This is a less successful operation.

Of course, there are quite a few successful operations.

For example, a few budding newcomers with strong hands-on ability successfully took out a room of mutants with more than a dozen homemade Molotov cocktails, and saved them in an instant

Redeem points for a blaster.

Another example is that a new person has probably practiced, and he is directly scrapped with an RPG, and a welded steel off-road vehicle that is rampage towards the alliance position.

The situation on the battlefield was not so much tragic as it was a commotion, and it was like a festival.

There are endless tactics on both sides, and I don't know who is more like a mutant for a while.

Looking at the lively urban area in front of him, the strong wind, who had been stunned for a long time, gently pressed his temples and couldn't help but complain.

"Do any of you remember that this was our mission?"

Looking at the way those newcomers played, he always had the feeling of going back to several versions ago.

Lao Bai coughed lightly.

"No one thought it would be so tricky."

It's really not easy to rely on the combat effectiveness of the Burning Corps alone to defeat these mutant tribes of tens of thousands of people.

Each of those green-skinned animals is a natural warrior, the kind that a few people can slaughter a village when they come together.

If it had been that easy to deal with, they had abruptly cleaned the animals on their first night here.

Quit smoking said with a smile.

"But to be honest, it's a good idea to have more new entrants

Think. 「

The sixth child in the corner also said with a hippie smile.

"Haha! I think too! The previous battles with the legion in Luoxia Province were too serious, and it was a rare opportunity to practice for the newcomers."

Fang Chang thought the same thing in his heart.

Their combat experience is also practiced on the battlefield, and there are some things that cannot be taught, and everything is clear once they die.

Fang Chang couldn't help but think of the rocket artillery battle that the mosquito did that almost sent him away when he had just encountered the mutants on 76th Street a long, long time ago.

Who would have thought that guy would be a wasteland arms dealer now!

Shaking his head, Fang Chang loaded the explosive gun he had bought with silver coins in his hand, looked at the mutant positions in the distance that were shrinking the defensive line, and said with a smile.

"We should go up too, and we won't even have to drink any more soup."

"Hmm," said with a grin as he turned off the power armor mask, "If you continue to rub like this, you'll have to make those rookies look flat."

......

The urban area, about a kilometer from the area of the firefight, stands high

On the top floor of the building, Kigarn stared expressionlessly at the flickering firelight in the gray mist in the distance.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning, and the all-out general offensive of the alliance suddenly began.

First there was a volley of artillery and indiscriminate bombardment, followed by a horde of infantry charging into the city.

I have to admit that the alliance in the north does have two strikes, which are completely different from the two-legged sheep around Geumhe City, and it is no wonder that several brave and skilled warriors under his command have suffered big losses at the hands of that group.

Those guys are imposing, their fighting style is not afraid of death, their offensive is quite fierce, and they take out a non-stop posture as soon as they come up.

But Garn wasn't by theirs

The momentum was frightened, especially after learning about the battle situation on the front line, but he was relieved.

Although the offensive of the alliance was fierce, it did not make much progress, leaving behind the corpses of nearly a thousand men to take a street.

And this is only the outermost defense line of the Qi tribe, even if it is lost to the alliance, it doesn't matter at all, the loss is only two or three hundred brothers, more than two dozen light and heavy machine guns, two small reserves of ammunition depots, and some reserve food.

Obviously, not every soldier of the Alliance has the combat effectiveness of one to ten, and most of them are still very amateur in their way of fighting.

And the guns of the Iron Heart, as he expected, were quite limited in their combat effectiveness in the city.

The shell looked imposing, loud, and powerful, but even if it was only separated by a concrete wall, it could effectively weaken the shock wave and shrapnel damage of the explosion.

However, unlike Garn's optimism, Golmore had a faint sadness written on his face.

"It's not a way to go on like this, the Alliance's industrial capacity is above ours, I've heard that Boulder City has recently joined them, and if we continue to consume at this pace, we will be dragged down by them sooner or later."

Garn said with a cold smile disapprehended.

"No matter how strong the industrial capacity is, someone has to use those guys that are produced. I've heard that the entire alliance has less than a million people in total, and I'd like to see how long they can fight us on this 800-kilometer territory. 「

Golmore didn't speak.

He actually agreed with this sentence in his heart.

But after all, it was an alliance that defeated the Legion, and as an old man from that era, he knew what the Legion really was.

Able to defeat legions head-on.

Are those guys really going to fight such a mindless battle? Seeing that Gormore still had a sad face, Garn said lightly.

"You don't have to worry about things on the battlefield, you just have to complete the final rituals, and if you can't contact that Luo Gan, we will take over this diocese."

Gomore slightly leads.

"Yes."
