Like a glowing snake, the convoy slowly galloped away from Akagi, straight out of the Throat Canyon, and into the orange area on the military map - the "Quicksand Corridor".

The topography here resembles the desert and the Gobi, with yellow-brown sand crystals as smooth as a mirror, mixed with black-red induration surface, extending into an endless plain. The flickering headlights pierced the night, and a looming shadow appeared in the distant hills, like a silent monster.

The heavy machine guns mounted on the trucks roared all the way, and the muzzles of the guns were as red as charcoals, and many of the armed guards unbuckled their trousers and urinated on them to cool the temperature.

The strange creatures that pounced on the sand were almost all covered with rough and wrinkled skin, and looked like their bodies were covered with a thick layer of sand, which was very deceptive. Among them are beast-like bodies that run on all fours, and there are also "sandmen" who move upright. Lei Luo saw with his own eyes that on the truck he was riding, a deadly armed guard ran to the edge of the car and threw a grenade, only to be pierced through his head like a sharp arrow by a cluster of sand and gravel shot out of the mouth of the "Sandman". The corpse fell out of the car, and in an instant, it was swarmed by countless strange shadows and torn to pieces.

The truck driver and the other guards were not surprised, those who drove continued to drive, those who fired continued to shoot, and they did not even jump half of their eyebrows. Through the cold window glass, Lei Luo saw that the blood stained red ground was thrown farther and farther away by the convoy, as if it was a powerless period.

Eating, drinking, excreting, and sleeping are all solved in the car. The convoy traveled without pause for almost a day before it left the quicksand corridor and officially entered the red alert zone on the map.

Even in Relo's eye of the night, the Legion's front line is the darkest area. It's not just visually black, it's also psychologically depressing. The land in front of me has become incomparably opener, but the oppressive feeling can only be deeper. Because from a human perspective, we are too small and powerless in such an environment.

The Great Rift Valley, which could not be told whether it was a natural formation or not, ran through the entire land in front of him from west to east, and it seemed that the Creator had cast the halberd of creation in his wrath, leaving such a huge and neat deep scar.

If you slide slowly along the top of the rift valley to the bottom of the valley, the distance will be more than 10 kilometers. The full width of the rift valley is more than 30 kilometers, and the length is incalculable. It is not empty, but like a giant flood channel, a wave of silence is surging.

If you look closely, you can see that those waves are composed of countless Zagu monsters covered in shadows.

The largest of them was comparable to a moving Roshan, with a body hundreds of meters high, hanging on its forelimbs like King Kong, and slowly advancing with its fists pressed on the ground. On the backs of these behemoths are huge cannons with rough shapes. It looks as if the chain is directly passed through the spine, and the gun mount is fixed to the surface of the body, and if you bend forward, you can fire immediately.

The number of artillery behemoths is the least, and the visual impact is the most terrifying. There are a variety of small monsters, ranging from corpse eaters with hydrochloric acid flowing throughout, pupils that resemble giant eyeballs that move with tentacles, and scorpions that flutter their jagged wings in the air.

There was no high-level demon in the Great Rift Valley, and all these Zhaggu monsters seemed to be driven by instinct, and they continued to pour in from the west side of the rift, and after a long and single journey through the valley floor, they finally entered the black flame gate on the easternmost side of the rift, and disappeared.

It really looks like a door.

In extreme shock, Lei Luo looked at the silent burning door of black fire, almost as high as the Great Rift Valley, and couldn't imagine where it would lead.

The convoy had stopped at the edge of the Great Rift Valley, and the 177 Iron Gate defensive strongholds, like stitching stitches on the edge of a giant scar, had been nailed to the south bank of the rift valley all the way.

"To the north of the rift is another group of people on the defensive. Remember, they're just as much enemies as the monsters below!" Raven shouted as he threw Relo at the door of Stronghold 177.

A few warriors with long faces and beards like savages trotted out of the stronghold and got into the car with a smile. Seeing Lei Luo standing there alone, the gazes cast by these warriors became extremely strange, as if they had seen a fresh corpse.

Lei Luo was carrying the recruit equipment bag he had just gotten, and he didn't have time to open it. Seeing that the black crow's eyes flickered, it seemed to be hidden, and he frowned and asked, "How many people are left here?"

"You're the only one!" the crow raised a finger very hard and roared again, "This is the easternmost point of the entire defensive line, your role is very important, don't be lazy and hurt everyone!

"Let's go!" Before Relo could reply, the crow had already ordered the convoy to restart, sighing inwardly.

After Stronghold 178 was razed with a single shot, Stronghold 177 became the closest place to death at the Black Gate. The newcomer who died here has always been the most stronghold of all, but the newcomer who was specially sent to die, Lei Luo was the first.

"What can I do if I offend the people of the Lionheart family?" Black Crow glanced at Lei Luo's figure from the rearview mirror and shook his head, trying to throw the guilt out of his mind as soon as possible, "Ask for more blessings, boy!"

The convoy vanished from Relo's vision, leaving only smoke swirling in the wind. He turned around and looked at the Gate of Black Fire, which seemed to be within reach, but was actually extremely far away, and fell into a brief contemplation.

The tide of monsters below the rift valley has no intention of rushing up, and it seems that the Black Gate is their only destination. So what exactly are the strongholds built here defending? Could it be that these monsters sometimes blow up their nests and run around? The strongholds of the Iron Gate are all on the south bank, and what kind of force does it belong to to defending another group of people on the north bank?

With questions, Lei Luo walked into the stronghold.

Stronghold 177 is not large, and from the outside, it looks like a three-story bunker half-buried in the earth. The first level is exposed to the surface, with observation holes on all sides. The interior lights are shaded so that no one can see through. The second floor is the control room, which is also the largest due to the central bulge structure. The third floor is the sleeping area, where the ventilation pipes are erected to keep the air circulating.

Lei Luo looked around the first floor, climbed the iron ladder down to the control room, and immediately smelled like a mixture of stinky feet and dead rats. With little place to go with the litter on the floor, he clanged over to a chair that was too dirty to see its original color, and laid down his recruit's gear bag.

Red, yellow, and green lights flashed on several rusty consoles, and the hands of the dashboard hummed and fluttered, apparently powered by a generator. The rules of duty hanging next to the wall clock are written in great detail, even what time of day and what time of night are clearly listed.

There is no difference between day and night in the Land of Eternal Night, but the normal 24-hour system is strictly adhered to both in Akagi and here. Lei Luo glanced at the wall clock, his eyes were gradually attracted by the rectangular display on the other wall, and he reached over to flip the switch, and the words were quickly displayed.

Dark gray screen background, bright green display light source, black font - Lei Luo can't help but think of the oldest Chinese BB machine on the planet, but the screen in front of him is as big as a TV, slowly refreshing the information one by one.

This is probably the most cutting-edge electronic product that the technologically backward Yu Fei planet can create. Lei Luo was quite surprised, and he had a further understanding of the capabilities and methods of the Iron Gate. A close look at the display reveals that the news of the arrival of the supply convoy at the front of the Legion has been updated in real time.

The text information at the top is always fixed, including the exchange price of the latest build, secret method, and more eye-catching is the contribution value ranking.

On the rookie rankings, Pfister's name ranks first, with a contribution value of more than 100,000 points.
