"Brother Lei, why don't you take me with you?"

Tang Xiaoting stepped forward.

"Xiaoting, are you trying to use your protective shield to block the venomous mist from the snakes?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

"But poisonous fog can penetrate metal. I wonder if your protective shield can withstand it?"

"You'll know once you try!"

"But if we can't hold them off, we'll be dead! Listen, he said everyone who was poisoned has died!"

"Oh, okay!"

Tang Xiaoting didn't dare to experiment on everyone's lives.

"Alright, everyone, I have a way to deal with the flying serpent's poisonous fog. What I'm worried about is the scavengers hiding in the narrow passage. How can we break through them?"

Dealing with zombies is easy, but the most difficult to deal with are humans. They only need to guard the entrance, and no matter what, you can't break in.

"Brother Lei, I remember reading an article before that said the best method was fire!"

Xia Yuhe is still very clever.

"Fire attack? Hmm, that's a good idea, we can give it a try!"

Ye Lei also expressed his agreement.

"Then I'll go with you. Maybe we can come up with some solutions!"

Xia Yuhe is very strong now.

"Forget it, you're six months pregnant and have just lost your father. You should rest and recuperate in the shelter!"

Ye Lei still felt sorry for her.

"Okay, thanks, Brother Lei."

Xia Yuhe has not fully recovered yet.

"Alright, you all can rest assured and keep an eye on the safety of the shelter. I'll take Chen Xue'er there!"

This operation was too risky, and he didn't want to take too many people with him on this adventure. By this time, Chen Xueer had finished packing.

"Brother Lei, is anyone else going? Can we set off now?"

Chen Xueer tidied up her equipment and said.

"Okay, that's all. Save the two of us, let's go now!"

"good"

"Xiuyan, could you please go and call Xiuxiu and Honghaier down? I'm going to replenish my ammunition!"

"OK"

After Xiuyan finished speaking, she went upstairs. With these two little elves around, they could not only help but also ease the tense atmosphere. Why not?

After Ye Lei finished replenishing his ammunition on Tang Xiaoting's equipment crafting platform, Xiuxiu and Honghaier also came out.

"Brother, brother, are we going out to play again?"

Xiuxiu asked with great joy, always regarding every trip as a pleasant outing.

"Yes, Xiuxiu, would you like to come along?"

Ye Lei responded gently.

"Of course I want to! It's so boring here, not fun at all, right, little brother!"

Xiuxiu turned to look at Hong Haier, seeking his approval.

"That's right, I love it when my dad takes us out to play!"

Red Boy clapped his hands excitedly, showing his great anticipation.

These two little ones are so innocent and naive, they can treat this apocalyptic world as a game.

"Alright, let's get ready to go!"

Ye Lei said with a smile.

Before leaving, Ye Lei gave each of them two crystal cores as "snacks" for the journey. This time, he decided to bring the Gale Cheetah along because he firmly believed that its tornado ability would greatly assist his fire attack.

When he successfully summoned the Gale Leopard, he was surprised to find that its originally yellow crystal core had turned into a light blue.

Without a doubt, this means that the Gale Cheetah has successfully evolved into a Corpse King! However, compared to the dazzling crystal core of the Undying Skeleton, the Gale Cheetah's crystal core appears slightly dimmer, leading Ye Lei to deduce that it should only be a Level 1 Corpse King.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Lei took out a Mercedes-Benz SUV from his spatial storage. After everyone got in the car, it sped away.

The cheetah followed closely behind the car, looking unusually excited, perhaps because it hadn't been out and about for a long time.

As Ye Lei drove down the hill, he saw Deputy Captain Liu's convoy in the distance, still standing in the same spot. He couldn't help but think to himself: So Deputy Captain Liu really had been waiting for me here all along. It seems that soldiers really do keep their word!

"Comrade Ye Lei, do you need us to go with you?"

When Deputy Captain Liu saw Ye Lei's car, he knew that Ye Lei had made up his mind, so he quickly got out of the car to ask him.

"Then there's no need. With your military uniforms, you'd probably be turned back before you even reach the entrance of the scenic area, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, yes, our clothes are indeed inconvenient. We just left in such a hurry that we didn't prepare any civilian clothes."

Deputy Captain Liu put it very tactfully!

"You don't need to go. You should hurry back and prepare those ten thousand crystal cores for me!"

This was Ye Lei's true purpose; he knew that with the energy from these ten thousand crystal cores, there would definitely be a significant improvement.

"Alright, Comrade Ye Lei, don't worry, we soldiers always keep our word. I'll go back and prepare it for you right away!"

"Okay, please!"

An agreement has been reached; if we don't leave now, when will we?

Deputy Captain Liu turned around, got into the military off-road vehicle, turned it around, and sped away. Meanwhile, Ye Lei calmly started the Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle and drove towards the 5A scenic spot, Yixiantian.

Along the way, Xiuxiu and Honghaier laughed and joked around, looking extremely excited, which eased the tense atmosphere a little.

Chen Xueer originally planned to chat with Ye Lei to help him relax a bit, but when she noticed Ye Lei's serious expression, she ultimately gave up the idea.

At this moment, Ye Lei was fully focused on driving the vehicle, while also diverting some of his energy to open the mission system. He firmly believed that the system would definitely provide corresponding mission rewards for such a challenging adventure.

Sure enough, the five-star+ mission appeared! The mission is called "Suppression Mission," and the details are very concise and clear—eliminate the core members of the scavenger tribe, and the reward for this mission is still points!

Ye Lei was used to such missions. Without hesitation, he accepted the task and stepped on the gas again, speeding towards his destination.

Because the Yixiantian Scenic Area is located in a remote area, near the Shiwan Mountains, it is quite far from Tomato City. The journey is extremely long, with no traffic lights or other vehicles in sight.

Nevertheless, it still took Ye Lei nearly two hours before he finally caught a glimpse of the scenic area's sign in the distance, which clearly indicated that the 5A-level scenic area, Yixiantian, was 500 meters away.

Seeing this, Ye Lei stopped the car. Before actually entering the scenic area, he needed to take some special measures. He decided to play the role of a scavenger who seemed to be looking for goods to exchange, in order to cover up his true purpose and ensure that he could pass through the scenic area smoothly.
