On the day they left.

Guangling City.

It was still daytime, but there was an inconspicuous car, parked in front of a bar.

The bar doesn't seem to be big and the location is remote, in a small alley.

A sewage drain in the alley smells of rats coming and going.

"I didn't expect there to be such a ghost place in Guangling."

From the dusty, seemingly small-scale car driven by a citizen, Wu Changqing got out, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked at the surrounding environment with a look of disgust.

Then he looked at the assistant.

"Are you sure the person you're talking about can solve my trouble?"

The assistant nodded vigorously: "I inquired about a lot of people, and many of them were 'professionals'. ”

"They all recommend 'Red Dove'."

"Moreover, this person is not taking jobs casually."

"Lately he seems to be in dire need of money."

"I agreed to take your commission."

Wu Changqing nodded, and then walked into the bar with his assistant.

Pushing open the heavy door of the bar, it was surprisingly dim inside.

It's not the bar's business hours.

Tables and chairs have not yet been set up.

Behind the bar, there was only one bartender wiping his glass.

He glanced up at Wu Changqing and said, "Sir, we are not open yet." ”

The assistant stepped forward and lowered his voice, "We're looking for the 'red dove'." ”

"What a red dove turtledove, we don't sell this." The bartender said without looking up, as if he had endless work to do, endless cups to wipe.

The assistant didn't talk nonsense to him, took out a magnetic card, scratched it on the card machine next to it, and then pressed a set of numbers.

"Wait."

The bartender hurriedly stopped, he quickly took out his magnetic card, connected it to the credit card machine, and then smiled: "It's okay." ”

The assistant gave him a blank look and pressed OK.

Suddenly, the bartender had a share of money.

He took the magnetic card back, kissed it lightly on the mouth, and then walked out of the counter: "Follow me." ”

Wu Changqing still covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then followed the bartender with his assistant to a chess and card room.

The bartender knocked lightly on the door and said, "Mr. Akadove, the people have arrived." ”

Someone inside made an 'um' sound.

The bartender pushed the door open.

In the chess room, no one plays cards.

Only a man in a long dark red trench coat, with his back to the door, was throwing throwing knives.

The throwing knives, without exception, were nailed to the wall, nailing a large mouse.

.......

Gangnam Avenue, Luofu.

Luo Tianyi has just returned from the company.

As soon as you enter the house.

The eldest son, Luo Nanxing, walked over.

Luo Tianyi said with a faint smile: "How was that matter?" ”

Luo Nanxing nodded and said, "I have already asked someone to give the information of the 'Red Dove' to the Wu family." ”

"I just received the news that Wu Changqing has gone to see the red dove."

Luo Tianyi walked into the study, opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of fine wine, poured himself a small half glass, took a sip and said, "Very good." ”

"If the red dove can kill classmate Luo, Di Zheng's side will be hit."

"If the red dove fails."

"Wu Changqing is in trouble, so that Wu Shimo can be pulled into the water by the way."

"When the time comes, we can get closer to the Wu family."

"Wu Shimo is the Minister of Security, and when the time comes, it will be much more convenient for us to do some things."

After Luo Tianyi paused, he said softly: "Besides, how did that matter go?" ”

.......

After leaving Guangling City.

The convoy of the Hundred Battles Academy headed southwest for three days.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, Luo Yan, who was sitting in the car, could already vaguely see the outline of the tall buildings in the distance.

That's a city.

It is also the place for this combat test.

Forbidden Land No. 9, 'Tricky City'.

Forbidden land does not have to be a mountain environment.

The decisive factor in the formation of the forbidden land lies in the overlord-level behemoth.

Where the overlord-level behemoths build their nests, they will evolve into forbidden places.

Mountains, forests, mountains, plains, basins, highlands, cities, seas, deserts.......

The area where the forbidden land is located has a variety of environments and landforms, and so on.

Luo Yan looked at the silhouette of the city in the distance and recalled the information about the No. 9 Forbidden Land.

Tricky City!

The city is full of strange plants that look like hair.

Those plants will entangle the invaders who enter the city, and they will parasitize the living beings.

Once the parasitism is successful, it is able to manipulate creatures with ease.

Therefore, in the 'Strange Hair City', especially in the depths of the city, traces of human and animal life will be found.

But that's an illusion.

Those humans and animals, including rats and cockroaches in the city.

All of them have been parasitized by 'tricks'.

Become a puppet of those plants.

And the cause of this special ecology.

He is the 'master' of 'Trick City'.

Overlord-level behemoths, danghu.

The details are:

Codename: Danghu.

Level: Overlord Level 4.

Type: Feather insect.

Features: Shadow manipulation, puppet control, whisker weaving, mind reading, soul dementoring.

Weakness: Unknown.

While there is no direct evidence at this time, the people involved in the investigation of the City of Strange Hair share the same suspicions.

Those hair-like plants in the city are probably beards.

Then.

There was a jolt in the vehicle.

The car turned a corner.

Didn't continue towards the 'Tricky City'.

Instead, he went to a ground base fifty or sixty kilometers away from 'Strange Hair City'.

In the aftermath of the Behemoth Plague, most of the cities have been reduced to rubble.

The surviving humans were either transferred to the underground city that was built in advance.

Or, like Luo Yan at the beginning, he was surviving in the ruins of the city.

But there are some people.

Then choose to 'settle down' not far from the forbidden land.

So there are all kinds of ground bases.

These bases are usually controlled by 'companies'.

Some of the mecha eliminated by the dungeons and the 'Behemoth Strategy Mansion' have fallen into the hands of various surface companies through various channels.

Because of the mechas, these 'companies' have the conditions to survive on the surface.

They build bases and recruit 'employees'.

Every day, he enters the edge area of the forbidden land and makes a living by collecting medicinal materials, recovering giant beast parasites, collecting samples of animals and plants in the forbidden area, and recording the ecological changes of the forbidden land.

These bases are usually co-op with one or more dungeons.

And each dungeon is usually linked to multiple surface bases.

The surface base hopes to be able to obtain mech spare parts, weapons, potions, and even the 'supercore matrix' and other resources in the dungeon.

Through these bases, the dungeon was able to quickly collect ecological data and samples of parasites, animals and plants in various forbidden areas.

It can be said to be mutually beneficial.

The 'Falcon Base' to which the academy convoy is now going is controlled by the Black Hawk Company.

Owns three mechs.

Three hundred warriors.

More than forty combat vehicles of various types.

The boss of the company, Gao Rui, who is also the owner of the 'Falcon Base', has a primary fifth-layer combat power.

Several of the directors under him have reached the level of the third level of the primary level.

This is the foundation of a base.
