Chapter 1573 Tiger swallows the sky
After the garrison troops left the market town, they began to designate areas and set up camp.
The officer responsible for leading Ning Zhe and the others here found him while they were setting up camp and whispered: "Your camp has been placed at the edge. After nightfall, I will arrange for your people to be on duty. Then you will be on duty."
You can leave."
When Ning Zhe heard the officer's response, he took out a gold bar and stuffed it into his hand: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The officer accepted Ning Zhe's money and his attitude became ambiguous: "Now that there is a big disaster in the Northern Wilderness, it is not easy for you to survive here. I will approve a note for you later and go to the canteen to get some food.
Let’s go.”
In the cleared space, tents quickly stood up one after another.
In the tent with the fire pit, Ning Zhe sat by the stove to keep warm, and said to Hu Yihan and Zhang Fang: "At nightfall, we can leave the team. Before, we and the rebels were traveling in separate vehicles.
No one will pay attention to anyone else. Once we live together, the situation will be different, so we have to leave this place as soon as possible before attracting other people's attention.
Entering Fortress No. 82 this time is not our mission. I just want to go into the city to confirm some things, so there should not be too many people. My opinion is that you stay outside the city and be responsible for leading the troops. I will take Zhang Fang and Fan
Ke and Ren Jiao enter the fortress."
Hu Yihan thought for a moment: "With only four people going in, isn't the risk too great?"
"If we want to enter the fortress, the only way is to climb over the city wall. You know the danger of crossing the fortress. The more people go, the more difficult it will be." Ning Zhe explained: "I took Zhang Fang and Ren Jiao with me.
I went in because their demon ability is useful to me. Ren Jiao can carry out assassinations. Zhang Fang’s control ability also allows us to sneak into some places. As for Fan Ke, it’s because her ability allows us to climb the city wall more smoothly.
.”
Hu Yihan nodded and said: "Yes, but you must pay attention to safety when entering the city. You must not act out of impulse. Even if you give up on things here, you must not take risks."
Ning Zhe nodded and reassured: "Don't worry, I know it well. We didn't come to No. 82 to cause sabotage. As long as we can enter the city, the probability of being exposed is not high."
…
As night falls, there are very few pedestrians in the market town. Apart from the refugees traveling to and from the outer city like machines, it is hard to see anyone else.
Ning Zhe walked around the city wall and finally stopped at a corner. He said to Fan Ke beside him: "We need to climb to the top from this city wall. We need you to make a climbing foothold along the way. Can you do it?
?”
Fan Ke looked up at the city wall more than fifty meters high and said uncertainly: "If it were in Jinqinhuan, I could just throw down a vine, but the temperature and terrain here will greatly affect my ability.
Influence, I can try to summon vines on the wall. Every time we crawl a certain distance, we remove the vines behind and summon them again on top.
Maybe we can try this, but I can’t say what the result will be, but I can guarantee that even if my ability is not enough for us to reach the top, I can ensure that everyone comes down safely."
Ning Zhe waved his hand: "That's enough. We must enter the fortress at night. Let's do it."
When Fan Ke saw Ning Zhe speaking, he pointed his hands at the wall of the fortress, and then a vine grew from the wall, and several people began to climb up the wall along the stairs made by Fan Ke.
Before setting off, Ning Zhe directed Fan Ke to use an exoskeleton, and she was also a very smart girl. The four of them began to climb quickly with the power of the exoskeleton.
After the height reached fifteen meters, the howling cold wind began to blow on several people like knives. Even though they all wore cotton gloves, it still did not have much protection against the cold.
Fan Ke crawled for a while and felt that his hands had lost all feeling. He said to Ning Zhe: "The temperature here is too low. I can wrap everyone's bodies with vines to give everyone a rest."
Ning Zhe continued to climb up without stopping: "We can't stop. Resting in a low-temperature environment will only make our bodies more numb. The higher we climb, the lower the temperature will be. We must keep it constant.
Exercise can provide heat to the body, and everyone must climb up in one go. Once we stop, our efforts will be in vain."
After everyone heard Ning Zhe's words, they all gritted their teeth and continued to climb up.
Climbing under low temperature conditions is a huge challenge to both willpower and physical strength. When it reaches more than 30 meters, the low temperature has made Fan Ke unable to concentrate, and the speed of releasing his abilities has become extremely slow. It takes several attempts.
Only then can a vine be summoned successfully.
With a distance of tens of meters, it took everyone half an hour to successfully reach the top.
When Ning Zhe climbed to the top of the city wall, he looked up and frowned.
He originally thought that the fortress walls were so high that as long as they could climb to the top, they would be able to find opportunities to sneak into the fortress, but he did not expect that the defense above would be so strict.
The city walls in the outer city area were densely covered with artillery, and a large number of troops were dormant, to the extent that there were one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.
The city wall in the main city area behind is even more exaggerated. On the top of the brightly lit inner city wall, there are rows of artillery. Rows of soldiers are patrolling continuously. On the shelves above the position, there are even more monitoring probes.
, it is a completely defensive state with no blind spots, even tighter than the forward position.
Zhang Fang saw the scene on the city wall and couldn't help cursing: "Those guys from the chaebol, although they say they want to live and die with the frontline soldiers, but now it seems that they are more afraid of death than anyone else. From the analysis of weapons and equipment,
I'm afraid that the Pei family's most elite troops and equipment are all placed on the city wall. If we want to enter the fortress from here, it may be as difficult as leading thirty people to penetrate their position."
"I don't know whether it's because of the war or because the chaebol's security has always been so, but the level of defense here has indeed exceeded my expectations." Ning Zhe had never climbed the wall of the fortress. When he saw the scene above, he grinded his teeth slightly:
"The temperature here is too low. It will be dangerous for us to stay for a long time, and there is also the risk of exposure. Let's retreat and discuss a feasible plan."
An hour later, Ning Zhe withdrew to their base in the refugee area, and Hu Yihan came up to them quickly: "Why did you come back so soon? The plan didn't go well?"
