"You've found out, right? Including the equipment level, the spiritual level, etc., presumably there is no less sin along the way? ”

Looking at the rest of the group leaders who had gathered, the leader of the squad who had stopped a dispute in the group earlier, and the leader of the 1st squad who had the most voice in all the members, asked the rest of his compatriots, colleagues, and comrades.

"It must have been discovered that our group was suspended in the middle of an infighting, and the key was that the lock failed inexplicably by mistake, which is really dangerous. If I hadn't kept some composure, I would have brought at least 3 corpses by now; ”

It is not easy to distinguish who is who under the full-covered armor, but judging from the position in the field, the guy who responds first seems to be the deputy of the 1st squad;

Standing beside the captain, his original voice came from under the matte black visor when the sound processor and communicator failed, and he immediately heard the obvious nervousness in his tone, and then continued,

"I still have some uncontrollable fears, the situation here is really a little too weird, it seems like an enemy with no loaded guns, but it is more panicked than when facing specific dangers."

While speaking, the deputy of the 1st team seemed to take a look at the situation on the left and right, and then complained again with a feeling of helplessness.

"What the hell, this damn black fog is starting to thicken now?!"

As he said now, when the warriors entered the Temporary Security Zone not long ago, although there was still this black mist in the air, it was only a few liters of water mixed with a drop of ink;

Whether it is from the perspective of visual characteristics or from the point of view of mental contagion, in the surrounding dim and heavy black fog environment, if you do not rely on the corresponding equipment to distinguish and probe, it is difficult to even find that there is fog in the safe zone.

But it didn't take long for the concentration to go from a few drops to a whole dropper, and it was only a matter of time before it returned to its original appearance, and it would never take long for it to change.

~~~~~~

"Indeed, compared to the previous situation in my memory. There should be about six standard minutes left, and then the safety zone should be lost, and when the artillery fire has been plowed into the interior for a while, we should set off and continue on our way; ”

On the side, the captain of the 2nd team seemed to be tossing something on the inner wall of the armor, and at this time, he also analyzed the surrounding situation and responded casually, and then added with some surprise and doubt,

"Big guy. The armor system seems to have been restored?! You can also take a look at your own situation, but unfortunately the communication function is still as dead as if it is dead, and I don't know what the mechanism is. ”

Hearing this, the rest of the captains and team leaders, including the soldiers who were seizing the time to rest, also began to check the state of the armor armament, and immediately discovered the latest situation as they said;

But then only for a moment, the captain of the 4th team shook his head, obviously summed up and guessed without interest,

"It's really useless good news, if the communication can't be restored, the rest of the words are useless, and maybe this is only temporary, and when the fog thickens, there should be no reaction."

As he spoke, he also got up and took the initiative to approach the fog area located about thirty meters away, and stretched out his arm armor that had been lengthened to nearly 3 meters all the way, and slowly walked into the area where the black gas began to thicken;

In the process of moving forward like this, the surrounding fog gradually became thicker as he moved away from the safety zone, and when he walked all the way out of a distance of about ten meters, the forearm accessories that were originally running some detection functions stopped running, and he finally stopped his steps and said in such a tone,

"That's true, after the fog is thick to this level, it returns to its previous state, which is a simple set of armor and simple weapons with simple functions."

In fact, everyone has a little guess about this, after all, this is by no means a thing that is difficult to perceive the connection, but now after hearing the accurate conclusion of what he said, a sense of disappointment still rises in his heart;

Because this means that there is no room for maneuver due to the significant decline in the strength of their trip, and the rejuvenation of the equipment here is just an environmental feedback, and this kind of environment is obviously rare in the black fog ruins.

~~~~~

"Okay, let's not think about these things that we can't solve on our own, the question now is how to face this mission;"

The captain of the 1st team interrupted the thoughts of his comrades, and asked clearly without much scruples in this place of information insulation.

"How should I face you, what are you trying to say?"

Captain 3, who hadn't spoken much, looked up, and the upper part of his face armor had been opened at some point, revealing multiple eyes with a condensed halo flashing inside, but the number seemed to be only about 12, and for some reason it was not as many as the 17 captains of the 1st team in this regard.

"It's a direct literal meaning, whether we can continue to carry out this mission, whether to return outside with the punishment of failure to focus on saving our lives, or to fight here again, strive to earn some merit and then go back. What do you mean? ”

"I think I can fight again?"

Hearing this, Captain 2 responded after thinking for a while, and said in an inexplicable tone,

"Before leaving, the elders of the settlement said that the juniors still lacked some cultivation materials, if we could succeed in this mission. I guess at least the first third of the gap can be filled? Of course, if the failure is completely destroyed, the pension can even make up for their future needs in one lump sum~"

"Hey~ don't say that. Let me tell you clearly, I still want to continue to live, don't expect our team to sacrifice ourselves for the future of the next generation; ”

4 The captain immediately interrupted him, his tone was sarcastic, but his attitude was very resolute, and then he continued to talk about the matter,

"It's really no problem to fight this time, provided that the fog removal plan and safety zone establishment procedures along the upper peak are indeed effective;

To be honest, it doesn't matter if I go to the Isolated Island to face a clear opponent, and that's what we warriors should do;

But on the other hand, if the upper peak can't solve the inexplicable troubles along the way, and it is obviously out of our ability to deal with the situation, such as the black fog that caused us to fall into madness due to the invading spirit, don't blame me for leading the team to evacuate the fog area;

In addition, if anyone wants to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the status of the next generation, please feel free, but don't think about pulling me and my soldiers together, if you really rush our 4 teams, believe it or not, I will immediately join the monster to show you? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, and no one is forcing you to die, isn't this still discussing follow-up countermeasures?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, the captain of the team stood up and explained,

"It is estimated that the mental impact has not eased yet, don't care about his nonsense"

Then, as if taking a vaccination, he turned his head and emphasized to the audience,

"This place is outside the range of the upper peak, otherwise there is no need to explore in such a troublesome way now, micro aerial vehicles and other things are much cheaper than ours, so everyone should not have any scruples when they speak, this is all their own brothers, no one will leak any content after going out, right?"

The last question seemed to bring a little chill, and the friends around him didn't know whether to give him face, or what jealousy they had, or whether they were sincere, and they all agreed one after another after hearing this.

There is also a gap between the same clan and between the same captains, who is the strongest, the most potential, the most promising, and they are all clear when they have worked together for a long time;

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there is no clear subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels of several special combat teams, they are still willing to listen to the opinions of the captain of the first team on other matters without endangering their lives, just like what they show at this moment.

But the matter did not end there, after suppressing the slightly explicit statement of the 4th captain, both the topic direction and the respondent's answer seemed to be skewed towards 'not paying attention' in the unknown, and there were too many 'heart-to-heart' that could not have happened before in just a few minutes.

And after many unpaid questions and the corresponding bold answers, the 4th captain, who said that he was 'unwilling to sacrifice', inadvertently asked abruptly,

"There's a connection between the mother civilization and your group, right? So let's talk about it, aren't we all companions who face danger together? Why do we have to be fools who hide everything? ”

Although he didn't look at anyone when he spoke, and he didn't say any specific name in his words, except for the ordinary soldiers, who didn't seem to know, at least 2 captains and 3 team deputies looked at the boss and the team leader as if they had a tacit understanding.

"2, 5, 6 There are at least 6 of our compatriots here alone, and it seems that they are too unscrupulous, or is there something wrong with us?"

"Okay, Dai Xiugu, don't go around and tell us that these things are not there, you can make a statement. Are you willing to tell us or not, or are you still a credible comrade-in-arms who stands on the same side? ”

It had deviated too much from the original purpose of the mission discussion, but Captain 1 and all the rest of the soldiers continued the conversation as if they had no real sense.

"Okay. The connection is indeed the connection, and it is what.' The official of the Ministry of Persuasion of the Lost to Return was in charge, and he had met with me in the black market before;"

"Meet?! Are you going to betray us??! ”

"Can you hear me?"

“.”

"Meeting them is my task, and it is also a process that makes me unhappy but endured, and he pities that the [Atoll Syndicate] will erode the members of themselves, and eventually become one of the inseparable parts of the syndicate in every sense of the word;

Hehe, it's inexplicable, can we still not know about this kind of thing?

But in those days, when His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief took away our ancestors, where was the merciful and brave fleet of civilization?

Generations before and after, when the development of the map in the atoll allocated settlements, where are these 'rescue' forces from civilization?

When the ancestors were like cannon fodder, generation after generation of interstellar fighting for status, where was their goodwill and support?

It was only now, when the population branch had finally gained a foothold in the atoll, and with the efforts of generations of warriors, it had finally gained a certain status, and when some elders were charging towards the middle and high-level discourse, they actually began to contact me and other potential members of the officer corps;

He asked us to act as spies, deliver intelligence to them, and said that after returning to the civilization headquarters with his members, as long as he survived the current generation, he could let the next generation get rid of the influence of the group and truly return to the civilization collective

Disgusting, simply self-righteous to the extreme.

Even with such fanfare. Is it for fear that the clique will not notice it, that the clique will not be suspicious and hostile to us, and then force us to go astray step by step?

It's a pity that they can't do what they want, the chief is enlightened after all, and the group is everyone's after all."

"Well said!"

Captain 4, who was unwilling to sacrifice, gave the most intense response, and expressed his allegiance very excitedly.

"Although I am not ready to merge with the atoll, one day I and we will be proud of it, and this is the inevitable fate of the multi-eye branch of the atoll!"

"That's right! Although the middle and upper class members are indeed very annoying, His Excellency is our spiritual helmsman, and the atoll association is also our real home, not to mention the multi-order branch of the atoll, even the multi-order population of the main sect will be in our struggle, under the command of the atoll, and the rest of the races together to establish an absolutely unified country, so that the great river system can no longer be controlled by the outer river civilizations, species, and their puppets! ”

~~~~~~

The Flesh and Metal Tree, which was already hundreds of meters tall, was not tall in the cracks of several buildings nearly two thousand meters high, and it could even be said that it was actually relatively small

"Hmm. It turned out to be under the command of the Atoll Anti-Rational Group, and finally found out one of the forces standing behind it; ”

In the windless automatic rustle, there seemed to be a voice whispering in the mist, but it didn't seem to be a message from the sound,

"Then the rest of the groups should not be too different in terms of power, otherwise there will be no way to cooperate with it here. At least all of them are dark societies and black gloves with less than 80 members? ”

In its surroundings and far away, there are large and small building materials debris pouring into the isolated island area like water, making the gap between the remaining buildings a deep stream of ebb and flow;

Some of the residue is swallowed up by the roots of the giant tree that stretches out on the ground, and they either become a source of nutrients for the main body of the tree itself, or become a substrate for the transformation of the surrounding buildings.

The former not only allows the trees to thrive here, but also prompts them to gradually move closer to the direction of design;

The latter has changed the isolated island area in a radius of several hundred meters
