"Old Kang, you have to know that will does not mean everything. Our class is not afraid of hardship and death, but the blood lost cannot be repaired in a short time. We are already very weak now, and we haven't collapsed yet.
It's already a miracle. Five brothers have died now, and everyone else is injured. I don't agree with continuing to take risks. We are gambling with the lives of our brothers."
Seeing that Kang Danian remained silent, Jiang Shangqing continued: "Have you ever thought about what to do if there is a pit down there? In a situation like this, even if we can find someone, what will happen next? We will probably have to fight to leave Huangcheng.
Question mark? Think about what we encountered along the way? How did we get here? We can't put our chips on the bravery or luck of individual people, we have to do something safer."
Kang Danian fell into deep thought. He is the kind of commander who is willing to trust the abilities of his comrades. So he listened to Jiang Shangqing's words, but for the same reason, he felt that the current situation of a group may not be good, but it is not good either.
It would be too bad.
This is because the commander of the group, Gao Jun, he knows very well. He can be said to be the best grassroots commander he has ever seen. He is especially capable of adapting and is good at handling various emergencies. So he feels that his
As long as the second group pushes up, the other group will be able to breathe evenly, and the situation may be reversed immediately.
"What do you think of Lao Gao's abilities?"
Jiang Shangqing and Kang Danian are old partners. He often knows what Kang Danian means as soon as he hears the words. He retorted directly: "Old Gao is very good, but my opinion now is, don't be greedy and don't gamble.
.”
This makes it very clear. No matter how awesome Gao Jun is, it is just speculation. Jiang Shangqing only looks at the facts. The current fact is that one group cannot be contacted at all, and the two groups with damaged personnel must prepare for the worst.
After pondering for a long time, Kang Danian sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." When he said these words, he felt that his heart was bleeding. He seemed to see a group of comrades who could turn the crisis around with just a little help.
But he couldn't wait for a long time, and he just missed the last kick but didn't shoot the ball. It was too painful.
Jiang Shangqing secretly sighed. He knew Kang Danian's bloody nature, so he was extremely afraid that he would act foolishly at this time.
Kang Danian's bloodiness won him the love of his comrades, but fighting does not mean being reckless, and being brave and fearless does not mean that the mission can be successfully completed. Although the team is small, it still needs a bad guy. Kang Danian obviously understands this.
"Take the time to rest for a while. You come first, and I will be on guard." As he said that, Kang Danian walked towards the communication room. It was also the control room, and the entire "station" situation could be seen through the camera.
"Lao Kang."
"Um?"
"Keep an eye on the lounge."
"Oh." Kang Danian reluctantly agreed. He understood what Jiang Shangqing meant and paid attention to Miao Pu. Jiang Shangqing had always been very wary of this outsider. This was not because Miao Pu had treated the rescue team along the way.
Improved due to contribution made, on the contrary, even more fearful.
Kang Danian understood that there was no necessary relationship between Jiang Shangqing's outstanding performance and whether he had an ulterior motive. Just like being willing to spend money on others does not necessarily mean he is generous.
But I understand, I understand, but he can't do Jiang Shangqing's job. It's too dark, and he always considers the possibility of being involved in conspiracy, and the whole person can't be sunny.
Two hours later, Miao Pu sat up quietly.
He opened his hand, and a ball of gray-black material fell from his palm to the ground, scattering like a handful of soil.
This is the excretion of waste. During the process of sleeping, his body has been carefully groomed from head to toe. Now, his condition is better than before he set off. This kind of grooming is very beneficial to him. The spirit of the weapon recommends that the more the better, even
He said that if the attack is repeated enough, the damage caused by the entropy erosion might be alleviated a bit.
Vine armor has been readjusted.
Today's rattan armor has reached the level of rough blended fabrics. The inner and outer layers are mainly to sandwich a thin layer of virtual energy. This energy is the most important defensive layer of rattan armor. The entire set of armor is more than
The old-fashioned cotton army coat is a little heavier.
For Miao Pu, this amount is negligible. In addition, the corseting effect is extremely strong, so in his feeling, it is no different from wearing a set of thermal underwear.
In such a situation, my mood is also affected, and it naturally rises and falls slowly, as if I have changed my career to a stalker instead of a warrior.
Check the equipment. In the quiver, 30 wolf-thorn thorn arrows have been generated. When he proposed the idea, the tool spirit easily helped him realize this quiver that can grow arrows on its own. Of course, this function requires Xuan.
Spirit to control, and enough energy.
The metal bow was removable. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to install it for the time being.
When I joined the archery club at school, I always used recurve bows (Olympic competition bows), and I became very comfortable with them.
In the early days of the disaster, he got a treasure from a certain sporting goods store. To be honest, it has not yet reached the level of perfection he imagined.
Later, I wanted to make my own one, but it was delayed due to one reason or another.
As his strength has improved, his need for weapons has begun to return to his original nature. The power of firearms and weapons relies too much on the weapon itself, and it is difficult to improve. In addition, it is not in line with his combat style and positioning.
So I returned to paying attention to cold weapons.
There is nothing much to say about the two Death Songs. They have already become source weapons. Now that I think about it, they were born a bit hastily. Although the Orochi Bones he used before is good, it is not the best material in his mind. After all, he is not a legendary one.
For the Necromancer, in terms of compatibility, wood-type materials are definitely more suitable for him. This is also one of the reasons why the source armor, after devouring the original armor, was regenerated again and the main material was replaced.
.
Of course, he also knows that there are not so many perfections. If everything is really prepared, he may miss it or make a mistake.
But on the other hand, the experience Yuan Qi gained also reminded him of the benefits of early preparation.
Since the bow is his default long-range weapon, even if it cannot improve its performance (life-absorbing, essence-absorbing) through combat like the saber, lance, and vine shield that he used at first, the form should still be determined.
And improve the details, once there is an opportunity to source it again, it will be a matter of course.
This metal bow was chosen by him under the influence of such a concept.
A professional-grade hunting recurve bow with exquisite workmanship and some ingenious details. Before he saw this bow, he never thought that it could be done like this. But when he saw it, he thought, "Why didn't I think of that?"
He took a fancy to the design of this bow, and that was all he cared about. Taking it on this mission was a practical test. Once the experiment was completed, he would be more capable of building a source bow in the future.
The equipment was neatly packed, and Miao Pu made a few relatively large movements, and then nodded with satisfaction. It was compact and easy to carry, and all the items were carried without any impact on the action. It was very good.
There is still one hour left before the action, and there is still enough time to do some things, such as studying the "purification column" in Jiang Shangqing's mouth.
The lounge is two rooms connected in series, both with doors leading to the corridor. They are connected to each other by a sliding fan, and one of them leads directly to the bathroom.
Taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom, Miao Pu specifically observed another lounge. The layout was basically the same and there was also a purification column.
There were no ventilation passages or windows in both rooms. Six tired, sweaty men stayed inside with the doors closed. It had been more than two hours, and the air was still fresh. Even with his extremely sensitive sense of smell, he couldn't smell it.
Odor.
I have to say, this purification column is really easy to use.
After careful observation, the ground was very clean and there was no debris. You must know that they came in from the outdoors, and there was mud and snow on the soles of their shoes. Even if they passed the bar or the aisle, they would not be clean without any debris.
So where did they go? The ground was spotless, as if it had been carefully mopped not long ago. There was not even a mud mark. Even the small group of garbage he threw away before had lost all trace.
Is this also the result of the purification column?
In order to confirm, Miao Pu used the technique of observing energy.
The light in his eyes flashed away, and the world from the perspective of energy appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the purification column, it is completely a running instrument. The brilliance flowing on the carved totem is regular and constant. It is easy to associate it with the inside of a moving mechanical watch, but what is in front of you is more precise.
It's just more complicated.
There were different ways, different trajectories, and layers upon layers. He stared at them for a little longer, and he became a little dazzled.
From an energy perspective, the way the blue-leafed drum vine works is much simpler, but the effect it achieves is quite miraculous.
He saw transformation and devouring, small substances slowly shining and changing color in the wave energy emitted by the plant, and finally turned into wisps of undetectable light mist, which was absorbed by the plant...
It’s really the work of the purification column.
A cleaning device with comprehensive performance. If you stay here for a long time, the whole body of clothes will be automatically cleaned from the inside to the outside. It is equivalent to taking a bath. Even taking a bath in the ordinary sense may not be as clean as this one.
thorough.
"The typical application of Yuan technology is already relatively deep." I had known about the advancement of Yuan civilization early on, but seeing this kind of application still gave me a feeling of amazement.
At the same time, it also made him a little more hopeful and wary of the Huangcheng ruins.
In his opinion, the functions implemented by this purifier are terrible from a principle point of view. Just make some detailed adjustments and increase the power, it can become a very terrible weapon. It can swallow slag and skin flakes,
It represents devouring inorganic and organic matter. Dregs are inorganic matter, as are weapons and equipment, skin flakes are organic matter, and so are people...
About half an hour before the action, the soldiers were woken up by individually set alarm clocks.
There are currently 8 people in the team, including captain Kang Danian, deputy captain Jiang Shangqing, Miao Pu, Qian Lihang, Zhou Shuai, Hu Yantie, Xue Ming, and Li Xuesong.
In the past, except for Miao Pu, it can be said that everyone suffered a loss. Fortunately, they were all ordinary injuries and received prompt treatment. After this period of rest and recovery, except for Zhou Shuai, who "passed three levels in a row", he was obviously a little weak, and the others were basically indifferent.
hinder.
At 10 minutes before 17 o'clock, Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing came in together.
By this time, everyone was basically ready to go.
Kang Danian glanced over the young faces with calm eyes and said straight to the point: "The situation is not very good. Group 1 has not been contacted until now, and we ourselves have also lost 5 brothers. To put it harshly,
, we are trapped here."
Everyone stared at Kang Danian in silence, waiting for the meaty scene.
"The way out is not waiting for it. We have to take action and complete the task, but we must start by saving ourselves first. Miao Pu, Qian Lihang, Xue Ming."
"arrive."
"Now there is a specific task for you. Strengthen the communication antenna on the roof of Wanda's main building. Qian Lihang can complete the technical work. Miao Pu and Xue Ming, you two are responsible for covering it."
"yes."
"Li Xuesong, Hu Yantie, you two strengthen the security of the area with the bar as the core and protect the escape route for the three of them."
"yes."
"Zhou Shuai, I want you to stay in the communication room, watch the surveillance, and report any damage."
"yes."
"Okay, take action immediately." Kang Danian told Miao Pu and the others: "It will get dark in an hour and a half at most. The monsters will come out and move around before it gets completely dark. You should pay attention to the time and be sure to be there.
Come back before the sun sets, whether you have completed the task or not."
"clear."
Kang Danian took out a series of high-performance walkie-talkies from the pocket in his hand, and while distributing them, he said: "Everyone has one, test it now, and keep communication open at all times."
It took people a few minutes to debug the walkie-talkie, and then started taking action to strengthen the tools and components needed for the communication antenna. Jiang Shangqing was already ready.
Qian Lihang was going to carry it on his back, but Miao Pu stepped forward and said, "I'll do it. We have to climb more than 20 floors. I can guarantee the speed by carrying it on my back."
Qian Lihang looked at the backpack, which was much larger than a large mountaineering bag, and then turned his eyes to Miao Pu's back.
The vines behind the rattan armor were seen squirming as if they were alive. The vine backpack that was originally bundled and woven together fell down. Miao Pu placed it on his chest, and the front part of the rattan armor also began to squirm.
woven into a whole.
Then Miao Pu easily carried the heavy backpack on his back. Several vines grew and strangled him several times. Then the vines strangled him deeply. Just by watching, he could feel the tightness.
"This is really convenient." Xue Ming admired from the side.
"I can't bend down anymore, and my walking is somewhat affected." Qian Lihang objectively pointed out the problem of Miao Pu moving his backpack to the front.
Miao Pu said easily: "Haha, then don't bend down and just walk."
Qian Lihang knew what Miao Pu was capable of, so he didn't insist on anything and said, "As long as you think it's okay."
Three people returned to the bar from the "underground station".
The defense strength of the bar is far less than that of the underground station, but it also has special materials at the opening of the bar. It is actually very strong. In addition, it has a complete door locking function to seal and isolate unnecessary private rooms, card rooms, etc.
, so safety is still guaranteed.
The main work of Li Xuesong and Hu Yantie is actually an area outside the gate. To put it bluntly, this area is a small square between the buildings, surrounded by shop fronts, and there are as many as three main roads leading to the outside of the building complex. Two people
If they wanted to watch it, they could either stay in the center of the square or use equipment. The two chose the latter.
The underground station below Wanda belongs to a certain unit related to the rescue team 2. Kang Danian knows what is stored in the station warehouse. For this operation, Miao Pu and Li Xuesong, including the walkie-talkies, all came from here.
warehouse reserves.
The small square is a place like a patio. Except for the exits, everything is blocked by high-rise buildings. Even during the day, there are always large shadows.
Now that the sun has set in the west, there are even more shadows. In addition, the city has lost the hustle and bustle of the past. Even if there is a sound, it is either the roar of the wind, the sound of monsters making this or that, or the sound of stepping on the snow, the atmosphere
It's mysterious and depressing, making people feel uncomfortable.
As soon as they came out of the bar, Li Xuesong, Hu Yantie, Qian Lihang and Xue Ming were all nervous, and their expressions were not revealed, but the hands clenching weapons and the increased heartbeat were enough for Miao Pu to understand.
"Ahem, there is indeed something strange here." Miao Pu coughed softly and continued: "The unusual thing is that there seems to be no A3 (Dark Chaser) monsters in these three buildings, at least one in the direction we came from.
There is no floor, second floor, or third floor." He said and pointed in the direction, which was the path the group of people took when they came.
Seeing Qian Lihang and others looking at him in surprise, Miao Pu explained: "I can detect the existence of living things within a certain range, even a mouse."
Maybe they were thinking of the past when they were warning about cockroaches when they were resting in a corner clothing store. Qian Lihang and the others all had the same expressions.
"So, we can safely arrange the arrangements?"
Li Xuesong looked angrily at Huyan Tiedao, who looked nervous: "Don't worry? I don't think you can rest assured."
Miao Pu said: "My personal suggestion is to operate boldly, but once you find something abnormal, retreat immediately without any hesitation."
Qian Lihang gave a thumbs up and said: "It makes sense, Cedar, Tiezi, now is not the time to show off, you have to be careful."
Li Xuesong nodded seriously and said, "Understood."
The five of them parted ways in the square, and the three of Miao and Pu headed to the main Wanda building complex.
The main building complex looks like a rectangular parallelepiped with a concave arc on one side, and the concave arc side faces the small square.
But when you enter it, you will find that it is actually a pocket, and there are no floor rooms on the concave arc side.
Inside, from the ground floor to the top of the 5th floor, a huge patio space is formed. Since it is a typical commercial building, the span is relatively high. The 5th floor is not much different from the 10th floor of an ordinary residential building. Each floor is
There are ramp elevators and, of course, ordinary stairs.
Qian Lihang and Xue Ming were annoyed by this kind of building. There was no way for daylight to enter, and the structure was complicated. There were many shops. Most of the shops had only a layer of thick glass facing the aisle. The inside could see the outside. And with the monster's ability, it was completely
Can break through glass walls.
"Don't turn on the flashlight, and follow me with night vision goggles." Miao Pu said and walked into the building first.
Qian Lihang and Xue Minglue hesitated before doing so. They also knew that in such a dark place, anyone with a light on would be a living target.
"Shall we move aside?" Xue Ming said in a low voice. In his opinion, monsters would pounce on the upper patio walkway at any time. As he walked, he felt like he was surrounded on three sides. It was too conspicuous.
"It doesn't matter, I have superpowers. Oh, by the way, turn off the gun safety. I'll handle it if there's any problem."
"This..." Xue Ming hesitated.
"Listen to him." Qian Lihang said in a trusting tone.
