After meeting at the bar, everyone spent one day sorting out their equipment and recuperating their spirits, and on the third day, they met at the agreed place and set off on time.

The target of this commission, "TL730 Ruins", is located in the Borderlands.

Borderlands, literally, ownerless.

It was an area that had not been developed after the war, and it was not part of the consular area of the world government, and there was no legal sense of belonging, so anyone could theoretically explore it.

But, capital, you know.

Such a big treasure land, you say everyone can dig treasures?

What about dreaming?

The Big Three have long since established a large number of military strongholds, completely controlled the road to the Borderlands, and only allowed their own people to enter and exit.

Giant companies will send people to carry out activities in the unclaimed land adjacent to their base, and when the exploration is completed, they will change from "ownerless" to "ownerless", and then continue to expand externally.

The ruins of TL730 that everyone are going to go to this time are located outside the "Winter Mountains" in the north.

The Winter Mountains were originally a terllous land, and the Iron and Blood Consortium spent three years exploring and building fortifications here before bringing them into their territory.

This kind of thing is constantly happening on the fringes of the World Government's consular districts, and the Iron and Blood Consortium alone has hundreds of jurisdictions like the Winter Mountains.

So it's not hard to understand why they face a shortage of manpower, because there are so many borderlands in the adjacent jurisdictions that they can't be explored by internal manpower alone.

Su Mo and the others were just one of the mercenaries who were hired by Iron Will this time, and they were only responsible for exploring the ruins of TL730.

At the same time, there are more than thirty teams of hired mercenaries to explore the borderlands adjacent to the Winter Mountains.

Due to the vast geographical area, they are separated by dozens or even hundreds of kilometers from each other, and there is definitely no chance to meet them.

The Winter Mountains were more than 600 kilometers away from Crescent City, and Su Mo and the others drove for more than 8 hours before they arrived at the checkpoint of the Iron and Blood Complex.

Dongdong sat in the car and was dizzy, and let out a salted fish lament: "Ah. Why can't we take a car or a float?"

Dorn smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, but the floatships are all used in higher-level missions, and there are really no extra vehicles. ”

"Meaning we don't deserve it." Knock rolled his eyes and muttered quietly.

Su Mo poked his head out of the car window and looked around.

Ahead lies a heavily guarded military stronghold, with towers and heavily armed soldiers guarding the entrance to the Borderlands.

Su Mo had information about the location of all of the "artifacts" of the Dawning World in his mind, many of which were located in the Borderlands.

The reason why he didn't go to look for those "artifacts" before was because of the existence of these checkpoints.

In the human world, the world government is just a puppet in front of the stage, and the real behind-the-scenes rulers are the three giants of the joint company, the iron-blooded alliance, and the blackdomain group.

The human world is completely surrounded by the jurisdiction of the Triumvirate, and anyone who wants to enter or leave the Borderlands must have their permission, otherwise it will be considered hostile.

This is also the biggest obstacle for Su Mo to "run the map" now, he knows where there are good things, but due to practical factors, many of them can't be obtained.

Last time, he and Nuobai forcibly broke into the territory of the joint company in the Fengqi Plains, and went to the borderlands to find the "xenogene fusion tincture", which was really no way.

When I thought about the plan, my head was smoking, the time, the place, and the people were all together, and both of them were almost planted in it, which shows how dangerous it is to break into this kind of thing.

Now that his wings are not full, it is impossible for him to stage another assault, so he can only let those "artifacts" lie in the ruins of the Borderlands first.

Of course, it's not entirely that there is no early access to them.

O'Diana and Dressy are both big middlemen who started with the back of the Iron and Blood Alliance, and they have a close relationship with the Iron and Blood Executives.

As long as they complete the commission and build trust, they will stand up for themselves within the Iron Will and seek high-quality commissions, including commissions to the Borderlands.

In this way, with their own understanding of the world of dawn, they can get opportunities.

For example, this commission is a perfect opportunity.

The Predator Consortium outsourced the exploration of the TL730 ruins to the mercenaries, indicating that in their judgment, the exploration of the ruins was not a high priority.

But Su Mo knew that this was a serious error of judgment.

That weapon in the TL730 is very powerful.

And what he had to do was to use this commission to take that weapon for himself without knowing it.

"Stop." Soldiers at the checkpoint stopped the vehicle and walked to the window.

Dorn showed his ID to the checkpoint soldiers: "TL730 Exploration Team." ”

The soldier took out his instrument and scanned the documents and crew members.

The database task information is matched.

Personnel vital signs are recognized.

The certificate is passed by anti-counterfeiting identification.

Library, people, certificates, consistent.

The soldier stepped aside and saluted: "I wish you a safe return." ”

The quarantine gates at the checkpoint opened, revealing the path to the Borderlands.

The convoy climbed through the towering mountains, which were originally extremely cold and covered with snow, but on the other side, they clearly felt a warm current.

This borderless land has a warm climate, green forests and seas as far as the eye can see, the sun is shining, but the heat is not felt at all, and there is the sound of a stream babbling in the distance.

Dorne took the lead in getting out of the car, saying, "There is a primeval forest ahead, there is no road, we can only walk. ”

Sun Min asked, "How far is it from the TL730 ruins?" ”

Dorne replied, "It's about two hours on foot. ”

Sun Min turned around and reminded: "Everyone always remember that this is no longer a consular area of the World Government, we are in a primitive and undeveloped post-war area, and we must be vigilant and guard against danger." ”

Su Mo walked up to Dongdong and said, "Follow me, let me go first in case of danger, don't rush to be the first." ”

Dong Dong pushed him and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't treat me as a burden!" I'm here to help you, not to make trouble, I know it! ”

Su Mo nodded, and walked into the forest with the large army.

Dorn held a sophisticated electronic instrument disc in his hand, and was discerning his bearings: "Our advance team has airdropped beacons on TL730, everyone just follow me." ”

The deeper you go into the forest, the more lush the vegetation becomes, and the surrounding area is surrounded by towering trees with lush foliage, and even the sky is obscured by the branches and leaves, and it becomes looming.

The climate here is also very changeable, the sun is shining when everyone sets out, and the sky becomes overcast halfway through, and the light is constantly dimming, as if it is about to rain at any moment.

As they walked, everyone suddenly heard Su Mo's voice: "Stop." ”

Dorne looked back: "What's wrong?" ”

Su Mo: "Don't you think it's too quiet?" ”

The crowd began to look around.

It stands to reason that there should be many animals in this uncultivated primeval forest, but at the moment there are no birds, only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

There is no sound, indicating that there is no wildlife activity in a large area of the surrounding area.

And wild animals do not dare to haunt the vicinity, there is only one possibility.

Here, the apex predators are hidden.

"Roar—"

Without warning, with a beastly roar, a black shadow burst out of the bushes and pounced on the dwarfest of them.
