The next morning, at eight o'clock, the sky was still a little gloomy.

With the cool breeze blowing from time to time, most of the people wandering or working on the streets put on long-sleeved jackets.

Zhang Feng looked at the window for a few times and walked out of the house.

Downstairs, Wrench and the others have packed up the car, filled up the gas, and are ready to set off at any time to meet up with the squadron leader and the others.

"Captain Zhang is here..." Haozi saw Zhang Feng coming out of the villa, so he went back to the kitchen and took out a large piece of dried meat and a glass of fresh milk specially bought from the city.

This is an ordinary breakfast.

It's just that there may not be milk under normal circumstances.

But Evolved Beast jerky is basically available.

Zhang Feng took a few bites and felt that the braised pork tasted pretty good, with a bit of the refreshing feeling of spiced beef jerky.

Taking another sip of milk, there was a sweet smell in my mouth, without any fishy smell.

"Their mother and son helped us make dried meat yesterday..." Haozi turned around and opened the car door for Zhang Feng, "I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good... It's just that his girlfriend came over this morning and had already picked up the mother and son.

, I guess we are arranging work now.."

"Just settle in." Zhang Feng got into the car and leaned on the back seat. While eating, he looked at the big gold watch on his wrist that was given to him by someone else. "Let's go after packing. There's still one hour left. Get there early."

, Don’t keep the squadron leader and the others waiting.”

The prescribed departure time is eight o'clock in the morning.

But there's nothing wrong with going early and arriving early.

I'm just saying don't keep me waiting.

But when I and others walked out of the street and arrived at a small factory five miles outside the city, the squadron leader and others had already arrived.

Now you can see it at a glance.

They have twelve SUVs with buckets.

Two big trucks.

As a third-level evolver, the squadron leader is leading his squadron of fifty combatants.

Next to it is the third team, a second-level evolver with a captain and ten team members.

There is also a fourth team, whose captain is also a second-level evolver. There are ten members.

"Captain Zhang is late!"

The squadron leader stood in front of everyone. When he saw the car belonging to the fifth team approaching, he greeted him with a bold smile.

Zhang Feng looked around and saw that he was a strong man in his thirties, with short hair, wearing heavy leather shoes, loose trousers, and a gray vest, which was tightened by muscles all over his body.

At first glance, he is a "strong man".

"Are we going?" Zhang Feng got out of the car, took the precious chewing gum from the squadron leader, and nodded to the two captains next to him.

"It should just be our four teams..." The squadron leader smiled and chatted with Zhang Feng and others. He had no intention of setting off, but waited for other teams.

Because this kind of "business trip" is a good job.

As long as the official personnel established in the city go out, they will be responsible for food and accommodation, and the city will also give me and others a subsidy of one crystal a day.

It was also because of such high treatment that people from the third and fourth teams came together.

But the second team is exploring a new city, and the daily income is greater than one person and one spirit stone, so they probably won't come.

In addition, the first team was too far away and no one was notified.

However, there is a problem with the current communication, and the squadron leader is not sure, so he waits for now.

We waited like this for a while, chatting together and watching the combatants inspecting cars and firearms.

When the time reaches seven forty.

After the squadron leader saw that no other teams had arrived, he didn't say anything nonsense and directly signaled the convoy to set off and target Liucheng.

And on the way to Liucheng, Zhang Feng also recalled that the 'communication problem' in this world was indeed a difficult problem.

Because of the heavy rain four years ago, a lot of communication equipment was corroded.

Coupled with the crystal energy permeating the air, most communication equipment also failed.

The most common ones are telephones and mobile phones.

On the day of the disaster, they all became useless scrap metal.

Four years have passed, and mankind has not repaired or perfected it.

But in the 'Capital City' in the heart of the Central Plains, the higher-ups have joined forces with some evolvers, ability users, and scientists to borrow crystal energy to create a new method of radio communication.

Named ‘Base Station Crystal Tower’

This mode is like a telegraph and a radio, and uses the crystal energy permeated in the air to achieve new communication purposes.

Now every big city has such a base station crystal tower.

It is eight meters high and has a radius of two meters, all made of crystal fusion.

Standing in front of the crystal tower, coupled with the operation of the staff, you can communicate with a crystal tower thousands of miles away, transmit the sight and sound to another crystal tower, and achieve "three-dimensional" communication through refraction.

Currently, various cities exchange their own information in this way.

But each time the communication consumes, the crystal energy replenished is a large number.

And the construction of crystal towers also requires the consumption of nearly 100,000 crystals. As a result, only some big cities now have crystal towers.

In other cities, people still use the old-fashioned way of sending letters or going to meet people in person.

Of course, there are also flying pigeons to carry messages, and adventurers to travel along the way.

However, the former is easily eaten by evolved beasts in the air.

The latter may also die on the road, or secretly open it, or take the money and run away.

This happens all the time.

This reflects the importance of the Crystal Tower.

At least for confidential documents, the first choice for safe transportation is the Crystal Tower.

And now as time has passed.

When the convoy drove all morning in the gloomy sky and arrived at the border of Liucheng, nearly 600 miles away, it encountered no crisis.

Moreover, the highway into the city ahead has been almost cleared by the pioneer expedition team in the past few days.

Come here today.

Everyone lined up in a convoy on alert, heading towards the outskirts of Liucheng along the cleared highway.

While Zhang Feng was driving on the road, he also looked out and saw dilapidated car wrecks on both sides of the road, as well as some messy bones, dry black blood, and weeds growing out of cracks in the ground.

"A little excited..." Haozi, who was standing at the skylight, was carefully looking around the area, and the words in his mouth did not stop along the way.

"New place..." Wrench sniffed the smell of stale rust in the air, but became more cautious and did not talk to Haozi who was chattering next to him.

While driving on such a high speed, the only sound of the engine could be heard.

The convoy slowly approached the suburbs and came to a dilapidated street, approaching the urban area.

brake-

When the convoy came to a stop, the only sound of the engine disappeared.

With the occasional sound of wind blowing back and forth between the buildings in front, everyone looked at the dilapidated and cracked street in front of them, feeling like it was a ghost town.

"There should be no survivors in Liucheng..." Haozi rubbed his hands, squatted down from the sunroof, returned to the car, and took out his rifle.

Zhang Feng glanced at them for a few times, then looked at a pickup truck ahead.

There were three people running out of the pickup truck window. As if after hearing some instructions, they were running towards their own car and that of the other two captains.

"Captain Zhang!" One of them ran to him, saluted first, and then said: "The squadron leader asked Captain Zhang to come to the car to discuss the plan to search for supplies."

"Yeah." Zhang Feng nodded, got out of the car, and walked to the squadron leader's car.

After getting on the bus, I came to the back of the car that looked like a small conference room and found a fixed chair to sit down on.

Within half a minute, the other two captains came one after another.

When the squadron leader saw everyone gathered, he looked at the map of Liucheng on the table, and then said to Zhang Feng and others: "Let's not talk about the far ones for now, let's talk about the close ones."

The squadron leader said, pointing to the two-story small shopping mall outside the window, "According to the advance team's report, this shopping mall contains cosmetics, skin care products, tobacco and alcohol, toiletries, clothes... Do you all know the prices of these items?

"

"Cosmetics..." When the third captain heard that there might be cosmetics in there that his wife often spent a lot of money to buy, he immediately nodded with deep understanding.

"They are all good things! I heard that the big merchants in the city collect these...

And I remember the scene a while ago when their motorcade came to our base city, the car doors opened, and they were selling some luxury goods before the disaster... The scene was as lively as a market before the disaster..."

"Yeah, at that time, they sold a set of skin care products for two crystals..." The fourth captain seemed to have the same feeling, and couldn't help but sigh,

"They also released an advertisement, holding a loudspeaker and shouting something like, 'Two hundred brilliant crystals cannot make an ordinary person an evolver. But a hundred sets of skin care products can maintain your beautiful appearance."

The strong man I love deeply falls in love with myself every day. My mother-in-law bought five sets that day..."
