It was only after the group of soldiers had left that Catherine put away the stunner.

Mamie stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Murkey, thank you for helping us out." ”

Mu Qi waved his hand: "Our boss said that we must protect you no matter what, this little thing is nothing." ”

Catherine looked at the vendors on the street who were robbed by the soldiers, and frowned: "What are these soldiers from, why are they so domineering?" ”

"It's okay for them to deal with those mobs, even though we are just ordinary merchants, but they are knocking out the bones, what is the reason?"

Mu Qi hurriedly pulled her back: "Stop talking! It really them off, and I can't protect you. ”

"They are the people of the 'Fortress Defense Regiment', that is, the thugs of the three major families of the 'Fortress', in the 'Fortress' city, even our boss has to give them three points of face."

Catherine still didn't understand the reason: "Then they are looting the property of the merchants in the name of exterminating the mob?" ”

Mu Qi sighed: "You don't have to guess to know, this must be the meaning of the above, this flood, the 'fortress' city suffered heavy losses, and the biggest loss was food." ”

"The source of the barley is several solar farms on the lower floors, and when the flood came, in order to protect the 'fortress' city, the council opened a flood channel, and the lower solar farms were all soaked, and I don't know how long it will take to resume production."

"I heard that the lower-level 'peasant union alliance' scolded the council for being a dog blood sprinkler, and even proposed sky-high compensation."

"But after all, this is a natural disaster, our boss said that the specific aftermath has been negotiated, but the grain production will definitely not come up during this time, and we will have to live a period of tight clothing and food."

Mamie barely understood: "So the loss was passed on to the merchants?" That...... Those refugees ......"

Mu Qi showed a meaningful smile: "There is less food, and there are fewer people, and if you come and go, isn't that just that there is no shortage of food?" ”

……

Two days later, when the expedition arrived outside the "fortress", the scene in front of them was simply purgatory on earth.

After being strangled by the "Fortress Defense Regiment", the refugees who barely escaped were hiding in these broken passages.

Food is extremely poor, and the ultimate result is cannibalism.

Looking at the gnawed white bones, Fran and Cha Mo couldn't help but vomit on the ground.

Lias and the others were also pale, and everyone had to endure the feeling of nausea and quickly enter the city.

Mamie and Catherine join the expedition at the street corner.

The experience of escaping death made everyone feel the preciousness of life even more.

"Trust each other and unite your will." The people had a deeper understanding of the oracle of the Lord.

"A total of 1,760 tokens were bought for the suit and boots, and another 500 kilograms of flour barley were purchased for 435 tokens." Mamie gave Bal an account.

Baal nodded: "You make a record, now the 'fortress' city is too chaotic, just store it in Catherine's first." ”

Catherine saw the flatbed they were hauling: "This is a newly produced suit and boots?" ”

Lias pulled the trailer next to her: "I thought I could sell all these things and buy some food, but now it seems that it will be put on hold for a while." ”

Barr said: "Catherine, you put all these things away, we will not stay in the 'fortress', and go directly to the mission location issued by the Lord." ”

After packing everything into the "subspace backpack", Catherine looked back at the soldiers who were cleaning up the corpses and the streets.

"The situation in the 'fortress' is complicated right now, should we really not leave anyone here to follow the development of the situation?" She asked, a little worried.

Barr shook his head and said, "The Lord's order is our primary goal, and this time we must go all out to deal with the multi-legged mechanical guards." ”

He turned to everyone: "As you know, if it weren't for the grace of the Lord on that crawler robot last time, we would have died in some unknown corner. ”

"The enemy we have to face this time may be even more ferocious, so each of us must give it our all!"

"Trust each other, unite our will, we will win in the end, and we must win!"

……

After the pre-battle mobilization, the eight members of the Fifth Expedition immediately set off for the target area.

Tang Hao was also enthusiastic at this time, and he had the feeling of commanding the team to open up the wasteland.

He re-examined the eight men in the group.

Lias, Baal, and Jim, the three melee units that are bound by the fighters, are basically unlikely to do much damage to the mechanical guards with weapons in their hands, and can basically only attract the attention of the opponent, relying on high dodge to act as a meat shield.

Daniel has a metal spear, and with his strength of up to 9, it can be considered a storming unit.

Mamie is the strongest support on the team, and her "Blessing" skill strengthens all allies, giving a simple and brutal boost to a little strength and agility, with the only drawback being that she has to be constantly channeled.

Fran can be a battlefield doctor, but in the face of mechanical guards, she is likely to die if she rubs it and dies when she touches it, and her greater role is to use it as a life-saving hole card after playing.

The last two, Cha Mo and Catherine's combat ability is much worse.

Although she has the high agility bonus of "Cat's Grace", Cha Mo has no combat skills, almost no damage output ability, and the opponent is a mechanical guard, so her "Bio Expert" ability cannot be used at all.

Let her join the team, it was entirely because this little girl was muttering by Tang Hao's side all day long that she wanted to participate in the expedition, and he really had no choice but to agree.

Catherine's "spatial transport" ability can only be used against her individual-sized targets, and it will definitely not work against the mechanical guards.

The main purpose of bringing her here is to use her "subspace backpack" to move the machine back to the gathering place after defeating the mechanical guards.

In addition to the personnel, there are only two combat items in the team.

One is a glass bottle containing "Zombie Venom", which may have some effect on mobs, but on mechanical guards...... Hell if it can be useful.

The second is the shotgun brought by Barr, there are a total of six bullets in the gun, Tang Hao has checked it, and they are all single-headed bullets.

This bullet is quite powerful, also known as a deer hunting bullet, but after all, this is a weapon that targets creatures, and I don't know if it can penetrate the armor of the mechanical guard.

If it was a shell-piercing bullet, Tang Hao would have more confidence in his heart.

The thought of relying on manpower and specialized mechanical guards to fight always had the feeling of a moth fighting a fire, but facing a powerful enemy also made Tang Hao's brain start to get excited.

He's looking forward to the next big fight.
