Chapter 439: Suspicious Mountains
Before Xia Lu had time to greet Xu Qing and test Luo Du's attitude, the young man stepped forward enthusiastically.
"You are Mr. Xia, my name is Li Chongguang, I am Li Shuai's grandson, I have heard a lot of your deeds, and I have always admired you."
The handsome young man walked over and stretched out his hand to Xia Lu.
His eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of adoration for Xia Lu, not like a lie.
That kind of worship that comes out of the bones can't be performed.
Xia Lu was blinded by Luo Du's punch, and stretched out his hand blankly, and Li Chongguang immediately held it tightly.
"I've always admired adventurers like you, true warriors, I used to work as a civilian in the military, but as soon as I heard that I could participate in the mission with you, I came here without saying a word."
As he spoke, he hurriedly raised his hand, as if he was afraid that Xia Lu would doubt his ability, dragging a piece of metal in the palm of his hand.
It was an iron ball, but under his control, the iron ball actually appeared in a liquid state.
Level 4 metal-based abilities!
At this stage, level 4 abilities are considered strong.
Although there are more than two level 5 abilities in the Xialu base, they are still very few among all the survivors.
Currently, the Elite of the Abilities is a level 4 ability.
Seeing him like this, Xia Lu didn't react.
At this time, Xu Qing also came over.
"Xia Lu, we met again, last time it was Luo who was wrong, in fact, Luodu's attitude towards you has always been divided into two factions, the last misunderstanding was that General Li acted arbitrarily and acted without prior discussion."
"In Luodu, most people are still very gentle towards you, such as General Zhang, and this time we are here on General Zhang's orders."
Xia Lu suddenly realized.
General Zhang is the one who sent him the land transporter before.
Of course, his good attitude towards himself does not mean that he is on his side, just that he has a relatively mild attitude towards himself.
Which one of Luodu is not a human spirit, who will really trust to cultivate an outsider?
Xia Lu shrugged.
"I am very happy with this attitude of Luodu, and I hope that everyone can cooperate happily this time."
With that, he turned and returned to the chariot.
Xu Qing moved her lips and wanted to say something, but the chariot had already closed the lid.
As soon as Xia Lu sat down, Qi Xinya looked over with a smile.
"I can see that Xu Qing is a little interesting to you."
Xia Lu was stunned when he heard this, and then rolled his eyes.
"You're really observant."
Qi Xinya chuckled: "I'm also a woman, can I still not understand women's minds?" Luo Du sent her, and he must have seen that she had a different attitude towards you. ”
"Maybe they also want to promote a good thing and make you the son-in-law of Luodu, and then it will be Boss Hua who should be anxious, she is not really committed to Luodu, but just uses Luodu to be hostile to you and raise her worth."
Xia Lu frowned.
He hated the complicated relationship.
However, the second stage of mutation has reached the end, and the third stage of mutation will arrive soon.
At that time, large bases like Luodu and Beicheng will encounter unprecedented challenges, and no one will have the heart to intrigue with him anymore.
The convoy continued on its way, and it was not until evening that they approached the mission point.
It is a mountain range, located inland, close to the edge of the Central Plains, near the northwest.
The further inland you go, the more infections you have, with places such as Beicheng, Yanjing, Luodu and Yuncheng also inland, but still close to the coastline.
The xenomorphs in the sea rarely enter the interior and only attack people on the beach, so it is safe not to go to the beach.
But the inland is different, the ground here is full of holes, and there are many potholes on the road along the way.
These are all traces of tunnel worms, which are enough to show the seriousness of the inland mutation.
In addition, there is a large area of xenomorphic flesh moss that is not often seen along the coast.
Flesh moss is found only in the vicinity of xenogeneous communities and is an extension of the xenogeneic construct's body.
After the xenomicry, the megastructure leaves, the organs that deliver nutrients to the flesh moss are disconnected, and the flesh moss slowly shrinks.
In an area, if the heterogeneous community is active enough, the flesh moss will be used many times to remain active for a long time.
The presence of a large area of fleshy moss indicates that there are at least three or four heterogeneous communities roaming the area, and all of them are large communities.
The best illustration is that they barely see a decent human base along the way, and the big cities are almost all overrun by xenos, and the entire city is filled with signs of infection.
Fortunately, their group was strong enough, and although there were xenomorphs hovering near their convoy along the way, they didn't dare to approach when they noticed their strong firepower.
Signs of infection are also showing signs of infection around the mountain range where they are headed, and there is barely any intact uninfected land under the land inside and outside the mountains.
Even where their car stopped was the remnants of a battle between xenomorph communities, and the ground was littered with huge xenomorph bones and the withered and rotting corpses of lifeless megastructures.
There was already a camp built by the advance force of the consortium, and after the camp was simply camouflaged, the advance force left, and the convoy drove in after finding the location of the camp.
Ahead of them were vast mountains, exuding a mysterious and terrifying aura, but for them who were used to fighting with xenos, they were accustomed to this terrifying aura.
Everyone was busy, unloading their weapons, setting up rest camps and defensive points, and repairing for the time being and preparing to enter the mountains.
Let the people be busy, Xia Lu rested by himself for a while, and it was not until one or two o'clock in the evening that Hua Weiwei asked people to come to him.
At this time, all the squads were ready to go, and Xia Lu also saw that Hua Weiwei and their people had already put on the alloy battle armor.
The people of Luodu are also equipped with battle armor, but their battle armor is much backward compared to that of the northern city, and it is very similar to the armor of the Holy War Regiment, all small thick armor.
Compared to the Warframe, the Warframe's weapons are particularly prominent, and several people are equipped with long-tube rail weapons that can only be seen on vehicles.
The recoil of this weapon is very strong, and a single shot can jump a person of more than two hundred catties out more than ten meters away, obviously this armor needs to be deformed if it wants to use this weapon.
I don't know what Luo Du is doing with so many flashy weapons, so if he can't do it, he will send a few masters to wait in the camp, and he will bring people into the mountain himself.
No matter what you get in the mountains, can you still share it with them?
"Commander Xia, we're all ready, shall we leave now?"
Lee Chongguang was excited, and he could see that this was his first time on a mission.
He didn't look scared at all.
Xia Lu nodded to him, and everyone headed towards the depths of the mountain together.
