The rest of the archaeological team also shrank into the shadows of the house.

Amy came to Azu's side, and the girl was nervous and breathing rapidly, which made the changes in her body curves very noticeable.

Azu sat on a rock, and Kama stood in front of him on guard, idle, and Azu scanned the situation outside.

Soon, he spotted some vehicles appearing on the horizon outside the village.

There are a lot of vehicles, mostly off-road vehicles, and some modified cars.

These modified vehicles are equipped with huge exhaust pipes, and the engines roar like monsters, causing the exhaust pipes to emit a lot of smoke.

In addition to cars, there are also locomotives, and the riders who drive them constantly make strange noises.

There were also men with jets, spewing tongues of fire from time to time, burning the scarce bushes that could be seen along the way.

Whether it's off-road vehicles, modified cars or these locomotives.

Without exception, black flags were tied with white scythes painted on them.

But what was different from the flag seen in the oasis in the afternoon was that under the white scythe, there was a pitch-black hand.

The black hand holds a white scythe, and the contrast is strong.

At this time, Azu heard the mercenary Hank say in a heavy tone, "It's the "black hand" Möngke's people."

"They're still chasing after you."

"Prepare to fight, they don't plan to negotiate with us like this."

"Kill them here, or we won't have a good time on the rest of the journey."

Although the number of people was obviously inferior, the mercenary captain did not show timidity.

The mercenaries were all at ease, even Kama beside Azu.

Soon, the bald-headed "tank" smirked and took out an RBG bazooka, aimed at the place where the "black hand" had the most manpower, and fired the cannonball violently.

A piercing and sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the night sky, and the cannonball, with a faint flame tail, swept towards the "Black Hand" group at once.

There was an exclamation from there, and only then did the bandits think of evasion, but it was too late.

The shells landed in the densest part of the crowd, and the darkness of the night suddenly lit up in the wilderness, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

The orange flames rose and rolled, spitting and spitting.

Several off-road vehicles and modified cars flew into the sky before the burning wreckage fell.

And many more bandits were killed in the flames.

It was the lucky ones who died directly, those unlucky people who were not in the heart of the explosion, but were affected by the explosion.

Either the fragments of the car or the shell were embedded in the body, or the hands and feet were blown off, and one of them was blown up from the waist down, but he could not die for a while, so he wailed in pain on the ground.

Next, the characteristic sound of gunfire from anti-aircraft machine guns rang out in the darkness of the night.

After firing an RBG, the tank jumped onto the buggy and, together with the Tiger, operated an anti-aircraft machine gun and fired wildly into the wilderness.

The shells thrown from the machine guns clanged down on the car, at the feet of the two firefighters, and in the blink of an eye a mountain of metal was piled up.

At this time, Hank and the others joined the fight.

Relying on various obstacles in the village, with the assistance of infrared sights, they shot the "black hand" bandits one by one to the head.

In the wilderness outside the village, the lines of fire came and went, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

In the "Black Hand" group, flames and blood mist are constantly sprayed, and one by one the "Black Hand" bandits are constantly being shot and hated on the spot.

When the bandits approached, they were attacked by tactical grenades.

Every time there was an explosion, several bandits lay down directly, and the undead were also embedded with grenade fragments, unable to continue the fight.

Azu was a little surprised.

The firepower of these mercenaries like Hank is unexpectedly ferocious, and these people are good at marksmanship, plus they are good at fighting.

actually suppressed the "black hand" bandits who had the advantage in numbers

Fighting.

On the battlefield, explosions and gunsmoke are coming and going, death is carnivaling, and life is destroyed wherever its scythe goes.

But.

After the initial panic of repression passed, the "black hand" bandits also began to respond.

They began to divide their forces.

These bandits were able to survive in the Land of Chaos, and of course they were not soft persimmons who could only be beaten.

It's not a soft egg that will be scared by this kind of scene.

They used some of their firepower to attract Hank and the others, and some of them divided into left and right wings, bypassing the main battlefield and sneaking in from the east and west sides of the village.

on the battlefield.

A scout--sniper in Hank's direction noticed the situation and immediately blew several sharp whistles.

This is the unique code of Hank's team.

When Hank heard this, he immediately shouted, "Kama, go to the roof."

"You're in charge of the rats on the west side."

"Robin, you greet the people on the east side, you can't let them enter a distance of three hundred meters."

"The others kept the bandits in front of me at bay."

"Tanks, tigers, don't think about saving bullets."

"Call me."

"Kill them all, and we will have the right to worry about ammunition."

At Hank's orders, Karma sprang into action.

The woman carried her rifle behind her back and easily climbed onto the roof, where the rhythmic sound of gunfire soon began.

At the same time, wisps of dust began to sprinkle in the house.

During the archaeological team, Dr. Nick and Amy learn about Azu's identity.

Knowing that they have their homeland by their side, they don't have to worry about safety, so it's better than others.

But they are, after all, ordinary people, civilians.

Outside, there were gunshots, explosions, and screams, and it was clear that the fighting was fierce, but they still turned pale to hear.

As for the others, such as assistant Vic, survival expert Richard, computer expert Kelly and others, they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless.

Vic closed his eyes and kept making a cross, praying for himself, ready to throw himself into the arms of the Lord.

Azu sat on the rock, scanning the outside.

He saw that to the west of the village, the "black hand" bandits had dispersed.

They approach quietly like rats with the help of buildings along the way, or hiding in the shadows.

At this time, the wires of fire will continue to break through the air, penetrate the obstacles, and hit the "rats".

Azu looked up, and above his head, Karma was lying on the roof, setting up a sniper rifle and suppressing the bandits on the west side.

From Azu's point of view, the picture is quite good, and Karma glows with a different kind of beauty.

That's it, with the cooperation of Hank's mercenaries.

Gradually, the gunfire became scarce.

The "black hand" bandits died and ran.

The battle is finally over.

Hank returned to the house sweating profusely, "Everyone's all right."

Dr. Nick and the others came out of the shadows.

Vic, the assistant, knelt on the ground and crossed repeatedly, thanking God for protecting him.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Hank saw that everyone was not hurt and nodded.

When he looked at Azu, he was stunned.

He couldn't see the slightest fear on Azu's face, and besides, he noticed that this man was not forced to be calm.

There was not a drop of sweat on this "Mr. John's" face.

It can be seen that the other party didn't take this kind of scene seriously at all.

Hank couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know that even a person like him, who is often born and dies on the battlefield and lives with his head in his hands.

After the battle just now, the palms of my hands are now full of sweat.

Although I am not afraid, I am still nervous.

But this "Mr. John" lives

So calm.

After a brief moment of confusion, Hank did not stop and shouted, "Check the equipment, change the magazine, don't let up."

Hear this.

Assistant Vic jumped up and said, "Mr. Hank, you mean, the bandits are coming?"

Guide Ackerman said with a solemn face, "It's hard to say."

"The "black hand" Meng Ge is ruthless and very persistent."

"Not the kind of person who retreats after one or two defeats."

"On the contrary, it will provoke his ferocity."

As soon as Ackerman finished speaking, Robin the sniper shouted, "At 1 o'clock, the enemy has been spotted!"

Hank hurriedly went to the roof, took out his binoculars to look, and immediately took a breath of cold air.

On the horizon outside the village, a curtain of dust was raised, and in the smoke, vehicles and figures were faintly numerous.

Hank hurriedly shouted, "Tanks, Tigers, anti-aircraft machine guns, how many bullets are left."

The bald head hurriedly reported, "There's not much left, head."

Hank's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Kama suggested, "Why don't we get out of here?"

Hank shook his head decisively, "No, we are in the wilderness, and we are not their opponents."

In the archaeological team, survival expert Richard said: "Didn't the guide say that there are a lot of canyons and natural caves here, and we can't hide from the "black hands" on them?"

Ackerman smiled bitterly, "Trust me, the Scythe Regiment knows everything about this area, and it won't be difficult for them to find us."

Hank muttered, "Don't panic, there's always a way."

"Ackerman, do you know what Möngke looks like?"

"If we can snipe him, the Black Hand dragons will not be leaderless, and they will not be able to become a climate."

Ackerman shook his head and said, "Möngke always wears a skull mask, to make people scared, and to make people difficult to distinguish."

"If he shows up, he'll be accompanied by a personal guard."

"The people on that team, all wearing skull masks."

Robin, the sniper, said flatly, "Then kill them all."

He said so, but if you think about it, you know it's impossible.

At this moment, there was a whistling in the sky.

Hank's face changed and he yelled, "Get down."

He lunged on the nearest Dr. Nick and protected him with his own body.

Azu smiled at Karma who lunged at him, and then let the soft body press against him.

Then there was a deafening explosion, and the house shook violently, and rubble kept falling.

Thankfully, the shell missed and landed in a house not far away.

Azu: They were not buried alive.

Hank got up, dusted off his body, and yelled, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, head."

"It's a little meaning."

Hank turned around and said, "Go, *** bandits!"

"Stay here and don't move."

Karma got up, quickly explained, and went back to the roof.

Soon, the second battle began.

The archaeological team members were panicked and depressed, and everyone knew that this time it was not so easy.

The number of mercenaries was limited, and some of the ammunition was used.

It's hard to compete with bandits.

Only Azu looked calm and looked at his watch from time to time.

Then Amy came to him and whispered, "What now, Zu... Mr. John."

Azu glanced at her and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Hank will protect us."

Amy's eyes flickered, and the girl was about to cry, "But Mr. Hank, they're running out of bullets."

"That's okay, I'll get you and Dr. Nick out of here."

Dr. Nick also walked over at this time and whispered, "Even if I know the coordinates, I will need the help of other people to find the place to prepare."

The implication is already obvious.

Azu shrugged his shoulders, "Okay."

"Don't panic, I'll make a call."

He stood up as he spoke.

Walk to the corner of the house.

Amy and Dr. Nick looked blank.

I don't know who Azu is going to call at this time.

Which superhero is going to come to help?

Walking into the corner, Azu swept the dust off his shoulders and pulled out the "Task Force X" summoning phone from his inventory.

He opened the phone, looked at the names, and finally clicked on the name of the "Vengeful Demon".

Start making a call.

A moment later, the phone was connected, and a deep voice rang out on the phone: "Who?"

Azu laughed, "I, John."

"I'd like to ask you a favor."

Now.

In the wilderness outside the village, cars and locomotives roared towards the village.

In a modified SUV in the rear, Möngke "Black Hand" wears a skull mask and looks at the village with smoke rising in the distance.

He sneered.

At this moment, he saw a sudden flash of fire in a modified car in front of him.

Then a wave of fire erupted from the window.

Meng Ge was stunned.

Then I saw the flames extinguished, but the black smoke was pouring out of the car, and the door was kicked open with one foot.

Then someone came out of it.

It's a man I've never seen before.

He wears a white tank top and jeans with a lot of tattoos on his body, making him look like a demon.

The man walked out with a dazed look in his eyes, then stood in the clearing, his hands raised.

Shout.

Centered on him.

Suddenly a circle of flames erupted.

Before Meng Ge could react, in his field of vision, the waves of fire were already roaring.

Then he lost consciousness.

in the village.

Robin, the sniper, is aiming at the "Black Hand" group outside the village through his sights.

Suddenly, I saw a flame exploding in the wilderness in the distance.

The fire roared, catching up with the bandits in front of them, passing them and causing the car to explode and the human body to charcoal.

Moment.

The "black hand" bandits, who were still charging, suddenly fell in pieces.

The battlefield outside the village fell into an eerie silence, except for the crackling of flames burning things.

In the flames, Robin vaguely saw a standing figure.

But as the light of the fire flashed through the sights, and when I looked again, the figure was gone.

The mercenaries were stunned.

The tank touched his bald head and said, "What's the matter, why did the bandit die suddenly?"

"I don't know, I just saw a flash of fire." Robin said from the rooftop, "Maybe they accidentally detonated some kind of powerful bomb?"

Kama put away her gun and stood up, and said with a smile, "Whatever the hell, isn't it good for these guys to die?"

Finally, the words of the mercenaries made the archaeological team members confirm that the bandits outside the village were all dead, and they couldn't help but cheer.

Guide Ackerman looked like he was in a dream: "This can't be true, can it?"

"The Black Hand, Möngke is dead?"

In the room, Amy looked at Dr. Nick happily.

Then I saw Azu walking back.

She hurriedly ran to Azu: "Mr. John, that's ........."

Azu raised a finger and gently pressed it on the girl's lips in a "silence" gesture.

Amy Mae

His eyes sparkled with adoration.

This scene.

Just in time for Hank, who came back, to see.

The mercenary captain couldn't help but have a thought in his mind.

Could it be that the death of the "black hand" bandit has something to do with this Mr. John?

But after thinking about it, people didn't even step out of the door, how could it have something to do with him?

Hank shook his head and dismissed the idea.

This night.

With the death of the "black hand" bandits, it is finally a thing of the past.

Following.

After dawn.

The convoy left the village and continued on its way.

Noon on the fourth day.

The convoy stopped by a river.

It seems to be the flood season at this time, and the river is turbulent, nourishing the land on both sides of the river, so that it is overgrown with flowers and plants.

It's completely different from the desolation I've seen along the way.

Right at the end of this river, you can see the towering mountains.

The weather on the other side of the mountain did not look good, and the sky above the mountain was cloudy and flashed with electric lights from time to time.

The sun was shining brightly over the convoy. z.br>

Ackerman pointed to the mountain range and said, "That's the Devil's Valley, where you're going."

"I'm not going with you."

"I'm camping here until you return."

Amy said worriedly, "Mr. Ackerman, it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone, so come with us."

The guide shook his head and smiled and refused, "No, no one who grew up in this land will ever enter the Devil's Valley."

"As for safety, you don't have to worry."

"No bandits are here, and there are no dangerous animals like wolves here."

"Occasionally, I'll see some ibex."

"So you don't have to worry about me."

Now that Ackerman had decided, Hank and the others refilled the river with fresh water and drove the vehicle along the river to the "Devil's Valley".

In the afternoon.

The convoy has entered the valley.

The river that led them the way made a bend in a cliff ahead and stretched beyond the valley.

After entering the valley, it is not difficult to find that both the cliffs and the ground are bare.

There is no grass at all.

Outside the valley, the land is green.

But when I got to the valley, it was lifeless.

Life and death.

The two strong contrasts cast a shadow on the hearts of everyone who enters the valley for no reason.

Oh.

Azu is an exception.

Once he entered the valley, he had already begun to scan the environment.

Soon, Azu discovered that there were a large number of karst caves in the ground in this area.

Some of the caves are frighteningly large.

Just as his assistant Vic threw out a few drones and began to photograph his surroundings, Azu had already discovered something.

Exactly.

He found a door.

A gate underground.
