The violent shaking made it impossible for Zero to see the mission brief on the tactical board in his hand. But the content of the mission was already imprinted in his mind, so Zero put away the tactical board and looked out at Shijie from the trunk of the big truck.

Outside the car is a desolate shijie, and at a glance it is a land that cannot be seen, and it is uninhabited.

The mutated grass is piled up in three or five piles, becoming one of the few decorations on the earth. Compared with the weeds of the old era, the vitality of plants in turbulent times is more tenacious. Like Zero, I saw this weed, which was no more than 50 centimeters in length on average, but its rhizomes were nearly ten meters or so deep underground. As long as 10mm of water can keep them alive for a week, how tenacious it is.

In addition to the weeds, there are only high-voltage power towers left on the ground that are no longer functional. Some of them are bent, like old humans, allowing the cable to break and hang on to the ground, while others break directly from it, and the uneven surface of the broken steel indicates that it was forced to break by the great force. And their stumps lie helplessly on the ground, like the remains of dead beasts.

At the end of the earth, there are radiant clouds that cover the entire sky. In the clouds, occasional lightning swept around, and the electric light quickly passed from the extreme distance, like a celestial phenomenon before a heavy rain.

The wilderness, as lifeless and desolate as ever.

Compared to the wilderness, Asgard is nothing less than a heavenly existence. And Zero, who has been in Asgard for almost a month, almost forgot about Shijie outside. It wasn't until he was back in the wilderness that he suddenly realized that this shijie had not changed. Asgard is nothing more than an illusion of beauty, and many more are still living in hell.

It's just that Zero is not a savior, and the cruelty of the great era cannot be saved by his personal ability. He knew this very well, so Zero drew his attention from the wilderness back to this actual combat mission.

The mission was carried out by three teams: Windranger, Pioneer, and Demoman. In order to successfully complete the mission, Cario had the three teams break up and merge. Zero is the main person in charge of this mission, and the captains of the other two teams, Anthony and Rankine, are the lieutenants, responsible for implementing Zero's orders to their respective team members.

The mission began when a supply truck at Valhalla was hijacked, killing all the guards and drivers. Although Asgard is largely self-sufficient, it is a closed city, and there are some things that Asgard does not have. For example, some special medicines, metal raw materials, etc., so Valhalla purchased these materials through some "agents" in the wilderness and shipped them to Asgard.

The hijacking of the material vehicle was largely due to the negligence of the transportation management department. The long-term safety record made the person in charge insensitive, and in order to save resources, he reduced the number of guards in Liliang, which led to the tragedy. At present, the person in charge has been dismissed. But the material truck naturally couldn't fall into the hands of a certain wild shili in the wilderness for no reason, so there was this operation of zero these soldiers.

There was medicine and food on the cart, but these were only secondary. What matters is the custom-made metal components, which are needed for the development of Valhalla's new vehicles, and without them, the development cycle will have to be delayed. Their main task is to investigate, find, clean up and recover these metal components.

Currently, because the location of the incident is near Phoenix. The independent city, which is not affiliated with any Shili, has sent troops to take control of the incident, and the bodies of the victims have been pulled back to the city by Phoenix and frozen for preservation. Valhalla has contacted the person in charge of Phoenix, who will wait for Zero and his party to arrive at the location of the incident and provide maximum assistance to Zero in their mission.

And that person was George, an officer that Zero knew. Speaking of which, he is also an old friend.

George snorted, shook his hand, and spilled the freshly brewed Haode coffee all over himself.

"Hell. He scolded angrily, and his loud voice startled the two recruits on duty in the camp.

George was now in the wilderness three hundred kilometers away from Phoenix, and just two days ago, a large number of corpse vultures appeared in this direction on the Phoenix side. Corpse vultures and corpse wolves feed on carrion. However, they are picky eaters and prefer fresh dead bodies. For this reason, Phoenix sent a team to investigate, and found Asgard's supply truck.

Originally, there were no markings on the supply carts, and at first Phoenix also thought of them as the unlucky company in the wilderness. However, after Asgard lost contact with the guards, it was soon discovered that the convoy was stranded near Phoenix. So the transportation management department reported the matter, and then transferred it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Asgard and the high-level contacts in Phoenix, and the Phoenix side took control of the incident first, waiting for the people from Valhalla to take over.

In the cities of the coastline area, the Grim Reaper Ridge is the dividing line. Most of the cities or bases north of Grim Reaper Ridge have turned to the Dark Council for refuge. However, the various cities and bases south of Grim Reaper Ridge are in a relatively loose state, and only a small part of them have to rely on the Dark Council to survive. More often than not, like Phoenix, Titan, and Remut, have independent administrative powers.

Of course, the Dark Council is not a magnanimous organization, and with the idea of "everything in control", it is difficult for the Council to allow these cities to have their own resources and develop independently. But in these cities, either Valhalla's agents in the wilderness, or some have commercial and even military "exchanges" with Asgard.

For this reason, with the interference of Valhalla, the Dark Council can only give up. After all, the Dark Council doesn't want a full-scale war with Valhalla anytime soon, so it is necessary to maintain a semblance of peace.

Phoenix is not an agent of Valhalla, but the city has close ties to Valhalla, from military to biochemical research, and can be considered allies. For this reason, Phoenix attaches great importance to the hijacking of Valhalla's material truck, and appoints George, a senior military officer, as the main person in charge of assisting Valhalla in resolving the hijacking incident.

Otherwise, George wouldn't have spent nearly five days in this wild tent.

He drank the rest of his coffee, still unsatisfied. At this time, a soldier ran in from outside the tent and reported, "Sir, the people from Valhalla have arrived!"

"It's finally here. George threw away the paper.

The officer strode out of the tent, and not far from the tent were the Valhalla supply carts and the guards' off-road vehicles. Currently, both cars are surrounded by barbed wire for soldiers in Phoenix and sentry posts have been set up.

George looked up and saw two trucks coming from the ground to the west. The truck came to a slow stop near the camp, followed by Asgard soldiers who jumped out of the back of the truck and wore Ares tactical suits. His gaze swept over the soldiers, and George's eyes suddenly lit up. A soldier with an eyepatch in his right eye, black hair fluttering gently in the wind, and a handsome face appeared in George's eyes.

"Damn, when did this kid run to Valhalla. When George saw Zero, an old face couldn't help but smile.
