Chapter 379: The Follow-up Force Arrives

A week after Jiang Zheng and others' advance team set off, the follow-up engineering troops finally left Binhai City with all kinds of equipment under the leadership of Xiao Tian, preparing to go to Xincheng to start their work.

The advance troops had a limited load, so they did not waste their precious loads on communications equipment.

Moreover, there is only one week, and when the follow-up troops come, the advance troops will naturally be able to restore contact.

Because the engineering troops had a lot of things to bring with them, they did not be as cautious as the advance troops this time, but walked in the direction of the new city with a large group of people together with the normal patrol troops.

After arriving at a certain distance from the new city, Xiao Tiancai quietly broke away from the large army with the engineering troops, and followed the signal to Jiangzheng's current temporary station.

The advance troops cannot carry communication devices, but they also carry a special device that can send out special signals, otherwise it will be quite difficult for Xiao Tian and the others to find the hidden advance troops in this deep mountain and old forest.

The engineering troops carry a lot of equipment and equipment, but because most of them are flesh enhancement ability, they are moving very fast.

And their purpose in racing against time was not only that the task of opening up the new city was really urgent, but also that they wanted to quickly bring new supplies to Jiang Zheng and them.

The main task of the advance team is to find and set up a safe and secret temporary station for the follow-up large force, and at the same time to re-inspect the situation in the vicinity of the new city to prevent some other accidents after the last inspection.

For example, will there be a new group of alien beasts to reoccupy this place as a territory, etc. Under these conditions, the advance troops will not bring too much food and drink and other survival materials.

At the same time, Jiang Zheng and the others definitely did not dare to open fire in order to hide their traces, so in the cognition of Xiao Tian and others, the advance troops not only had to take risks to build a garrison this week, but also could only use the convenient food they brought to feed their stomachs, and life should be a little hard.

Thinking of this, the people of the engineering troops couldn't help but be even more silent, and the pace of progress was getting faster and faster.

…… After walking for more than half an hour, Xiao Tian finally followed the signal and came to a mountain.

"Is it really something you can do..."Xiao Tian looked at the mountain in front of him, which was almost fifty meters high, and he immediately thought that Jiang Zheng should use his ability to control the earth element, and directly dug a space in the mountain as a follow-up temporary station.

As for how to use such a small hill to fit the personnel and equipment of the engineering troops, Xiao Tian quickly focused his attention on the underground.

Because he could already perceive that there was a familiar fluctuation of earth elemental energy in the underground part of the mountain.

Although it was very slight, as a rival in love recognized by Xiao Tian, he would not mistake that breath.

"I didn't expect your mastery of elemental abilities to be so powerful!" According to Xiao Tian's understanding, if Jiang Zheng only used his ability to open up a place that could accommodate dozens of people, he might be able to do it within a week, but if the pile of equipment of the engineering troops was added, the difficulty of building the required underground space would increase exponentially.

It didn't take long for the patrol members of the advance unit to soon discover the arrival of the follow-up troops.

"Deputy Commander Xiao!" A patrol member saluted Xiao Tian and said, "Deputy Commander Jiang has finished repairing the station, just waiting for you to come!" ”

"Well, take us there first." After confirming the identity of the other party, Xiao Tian did not delay any longer, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow the patrol member to the forest.

For everyone's future work and safety considerations, Jiang Zheng did not directly place the exit of the underground station near the mountain, but placed it in the forest about 500 meters away from the mountain.

"Five hundred meters of underpasses? How strong has this guy Jiang Zheng become now? Could it be that he didn't show all his strength when he fought against Deputy Commander Du last time? One question after another kept flashing in Xiao Tian's mind, especially when he walked with the engineering troops in the tunnel that was five meters underground and spacious enough to pass through the largest equipment of the engineering troops, his heart became more and more uneasy.

Originally, he and Jiang Zheng had an absolute gap in strength, and Xiao Tian originally thought that he would be able to slowly catch up after he had advanced to the sixth order in the past few years.

However, judging from the other party's current progress speed, I am afraid that even if he can successfully advance, Jiang Zheng will most likely not be far from the seventh order at that time.

"Is this the horror of genius? Jiang Zheng, it turns out that I paid so much attention to you before, did I still underestimate you? Xiao Tian's mood became heavier and heavier, and before he knew it, the five-hundred-meter underground passage had come to an end.

"Deputy Commander Xiao, we're here." With the reminder of the leader, Xiao Tian hurriedly retracted his mind. It's still on a mission, not the time to think about those personal grudges.

However, before Xiao Tian could adjust his state and prepare for an official handover with Jiang Zheng, a surging fishy smell suddenly came from not far away.

"Brother Xiao is here, I've worked hard for you along the way." Jiang Zheng stepped forward and saluted Xiao Tian and the others solemnly.

It's just that the current Xiao Tian didn't return to the past as usual, but looked at the clay pots behind Jiang Zheng with an incredulous face.

"How dare you light a fire underground? And where did the crabs and fish in it come from? In fact, there is another sentence that Xiao Tian didn't say, that is, how could Jiang Zheng and them not only complete the original task in such a tight time of a week, but also have the energy to improve their lives?

As for the possibility of being lazy on the task, Xiao Tian never considered that aspect, because he knew that Jiang Zheng was not that kind of person.

"What do you mean? They were all sent by the giant claw crab and the strong crocodile Jean clansmen. Didn't they go to occupy territory a while ago? These are the original owners of those territories. Jiang Zheng explained with a smile.

"As for the problem of starting a fire, you don't have to worry about this, Tulong Jiejie has specially arranged two Tulong brothers to sort out the exhaust gas emission problem for us. Besides, we don't fire every day, isn't this to welcome you over? Jiang Zheng's explanation, Xiao Tian reluctantly accepted.

His five senses are very sensitive, and he really didn't notice anything wrong with the air inside the cave when he came in just now.

Originally, Xiao Tian only thought that Jiang Zheng should have made a special vent, but he didn't expect that there would be other situations.

After a simple meal of river freshness, Jiang Zheng and Xiao Tian quickly entered the state of work. In the subsequent narrative, Xiao Tian's face slowly showed an unbelievable look.
