Chapter 345: No Day and Night in Mirage Mountain
Jingcheng, the closest transit station to the Mirage Mountains.
This place has been forged into a steel barrier, and from time to time there is the sound of artillery fire, and the ground trembles.
"There is another beast tide coming, as expected of the Mirage Mountains marked as a five-star critically endangered area..."
"It's also a good thing. There are many alienated beasts in the Mirage Mountains, most of which are edible. The price of meat in Jingcheng has dropped a lot recently."
When the artillery fire ceased, the steel gate of the transfer station reopened, and the city guards handled the corpses outside the city wall swiftly, picking out some of the slightly damaged alienated beasts that were still edible. Some people were responsible for skinning and cutting the main materials. The last remaining body was pulled to the nearest landfill and burned.
And there are disinfection personnel to disinfect the city wall area to prevent virus infection.
Facing the back door of Jingcheng Sanctuary, several convoys drove in at this time, and the Awakeneds wearing uniform and well-equipped equipment stepped out of the car one after another.
The Idle Awakened at the transfer station looked over in amazement:
"How can the people from the major mercenary groups be together?"
"It's the mercenary group controlled by the Li family, the Ye family, and the Wu family, and it seems that there are elites sent by their family."
"Didn't the Li family just lose a mercenary group some time ago? It is said that the group leader "Undead Li Jing" died without a whole body, and I don't know who did it. It's really scary. "
"The Zulong Special Chapter is also here! I don't know which faction it is, or, both?!"
"It feels like something big is about to happen!"
There are many elite awakened people, and the momentum makes all the awakened people in the transfer station look at it.
The idle awakeners and the great power awakeners are like two distinct parts, or in other words, the loose people can't provoke the great power, and can only rest on one side.
To the surprise of the idle Awakeners, those elite Awakeners, who were fully equipped and neatly dressed, obviously did not want to go out for an outing. They had been repairing at the transfer station for a long time, but they did not seem to intend to go into the mountains.
...
This time, the other side.
The elite awakeners, divided into regions according to different forces, are whispering.
Some looked contemptuous:
"Why wait for people from other shelters? What's the use of those weak chickens!"
"I heard that it is a game at the upper level. Anyway, the Mirage Mountains are so big, and Jingcheng can't swallow it alone. Besides, there are more than a dozen large shelters here. Their combined strength is not weak."
"Hehe, I heard that some teams lost half of their manpower on the way to Jingcheng, and the remaining defeated soldiers will only hold us back."
"So weak?"
"What do you think? Our Jingcheng has the most sophisticated rune equipment, the most powerful awakeners, and has developed several secret realms... These are comparable to other shelters. Take the joint control of us and the Ye family of the Li family. For example, in that secret realm, one day of cultivation is equivalent to refining a third of a bottle of soul power, which is more efficient than hunting demonized beasts..."
The Awakened who speaks with a sense of superiority:
"Other shelters, don't say there are none. Even if they are lucky enough to discover a secret realm, can they understand the meaning of those words? When our cultivation base is rising, those people can only slow down little by little. Climb forward."
...
Time goes by.
The convoys arrived one after another, and the convoys were quite complex. In addition to the official strength of the shelter, there were also top mercenary teams from each shelter. There are many people, and there are two or three thousand elite awakened people in total, although these are the elites who have stayed after many screenings.
Not only for exploring the Mirage Mountains, many shelters have used this to open up the "road" with Jingcheng, which is convenient for future travel.
The transfer station was not big, and the convoys stayed outside. The major forces in Jingcheng who arrived first also came out one after another, commenting on the convoys of the major shelters.
...
The large-scale joint team of Tiannan Province did not immediately go deep into the Mirage Mountains to explore.
On the first day, wandering around the entrance to get familiar with the environment in the mountains also gave each team some time to break in.
The sky was dark and bright, and on the next morning, nearly 300 top experts were selected from the first day of the United Corps to form the Tiannan Exploration Team.
"How come we in Kuncheng have this quota?"
The Kuncheng team leader looked at the few 'own people' in the exploration team, his face darkened, and he was quite dissatisfied.
Nominally, the No. 1 and No. 2 giants in Jingcheng have the highest authority, but in fact, even if they are both official shelters, they have their own preferences. Jingcheng does not have the ability to order the major shelters in Tiannan... The formation of the exploration team is more like A profit-driven.
He is not satisfied with the quota allocation of the Jingcheng commander!
However, the dissatisfaction of the Kuncheng team leader did not resonate with other shelters, and some people even sneered:
"How many masters do you have in Kuncheng, can't you see it? Do you have to let the trash follow?"
Kuncheng's black-faced team leader glared angrily.
"Kuncheng should have fewer masters, but the exploration team must have the seventh-level awakening strength at least, otherwise it will be a hindrance, and it will not be good for itself or the team..."
Jingcheng had the strongest strength, occupying a small percentage of the population, and other shelters had selected top experts.
Like Kuncheng, it is the least one.
The exploration legion was led by Jingcheng, but all the forces saw it, there was nothing tricky, and the selection was based on strength and performance on the first day. Each shelter is both a collaborator and a competitor, and the competition has already begun from the moment of selection.
There are many candidates, which means that the shelter is strong, and there are few candidates, and the face is dull.
The leader of the Kunshan black-faced team argued a few words, but in the end, he did not dare to leave the exploration team and enter the mountain alone.
...
Expedition set off.
Many of the remaining manpower from other forces also chose to enter the Mirage Mountains, but they did not dare to go deep, and just wandered around the periphery.
...
The expedition group was not moving very fast, and the Awakeners with long weapons in front of the group chopped down weeds and obstacles with their chops. Those with the ability of the spiritual department and the perception department take turns to release their abilities to detect the surrounding environment.
Zhou Jianhong was assigned to the flank, slashed the incoming demonic beast with his sword, and sighed:
"For some reason, I'm not very optimistic about this joint operation."
"Then why are you still here?"
"Lindong has a high price. I have been soaking in the "Trial Tower" for the past few days, and I bought a few pieces of equipment. The source crystals are all spent, and the green shade consumption is so high. If you don't make money, you can't live happily anymore. , why are you here? "
"It's a coincidence, so am I."
"I found that a lot of people didn't come. They must be big dog owners with mines at home."
"Forget it, whether Jingcheng's goal can be achieved or not has nothing to do with us, as long as we get paid and can practice in the green shade, that's enough."
"You're right, you're right!"
In front of the team, the commander from Jingcheng said in a deep voice:
"Attention! We are about to go deep into the Mirage Mountains. The inner layer of the mountain may encounter danger at any time, it may be the environment, or it may be an unknown enemy. Be vigilant, the sun is about to leave us."
The sound is cleverly controlled so that everyone can hear it clearly, but it doesn't spread far enough to attract enemies.
Hearing this, Zhou Jianhong raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky.
The sky gradually became dark.
The scorching sun that was hanging high also disappeared without a trace.
However, Zhou Jianhong knew that it was not the time when the sun set, but the sun's rays, which could not reach the inner layer of the Mirage Mountains.
