There are several fast food restaurants and two slightly better Hunan cuisine restaurants in the industrial park area near the village entrance.

Yang Zheng took the black dog directly to a Hunan restaurant.

I ordered a few of my favorite main dishes, ate them, and then rushed back.

It was already past 7 p.m. when I returned to the detached rental house at the end of Xiahua Village.

By this time, it was already getting dark outside.

The thought of entering the small world soon and launching a night raid on the temporary base of the little man's airship filled him with inexplicable excitement.

It's not nervousness, it's anticipation!

He hoped tonight's attack would be very successful.

However, all preparations must be made before entering the small world.

Weapons, defense, auxiliary equipment, satchels... all these miscellaneous items need to be prepared in advance.

As soon as it reaches 8 o'clock, immediately open the interdimensional portal and implement the night raid plan.

Yang Zheng wore a tight-fitting thermal underwear underneath, and then put on the newly made golden snake armor.

"Black Dragon..."

Upon hearing the call, the black dog dashed into the house.

Yang Zheng dressed it in that incredibly ugly golden snake armor, and then took along night vision goggles, a thermal imaging display, a compass, and other such items.

As for weapons, a sharp short sword is tucked into the waistband, a slingshot is a must, and a pistol is also necessary.

There are still fifty-two "biological bombs" left from the last production; we must bring more than a dozen with us.

There are also "heavy cluster bombs" made from torpedoes, which I've never used. I'll have to bring a few with me tonight.

Fireworks Gatling gun, I've never used one before, let's bring it along, just in case it comes in handy. Although he had doubts about its actual combat effectiveness, once it's made, it shouldn't be wasted.

The last Thunderclap Rocket Launcher is left, bring it!

Bring two petrol bombs in glass bottles, just in case you need them.

Soon, he was covered in golden snake armor, and had two satchels slung over his shoulder, which were bulging with weapons and equipment.

Inside the large retractable bag on his back were three Gatling guns, two gasoline bottles, and a Thunderbolt rocket launcher.

After preparations are complete.

At this moment, he was fully armed and his combat effectiveness was off the charts.

It must be said that this set of Golden Serpent defensive armor is truly well made.

Not only are they lightweight to wear, but they are also very elastic.

Unlike those cheap protective gear I bought online before, which were so tight and severely restricted my flexibility.

I glanced down at the time; it was almost 8 p.m.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng immediately took out the Taiji Pearl and opened the portal between the two worlds.

A mirror-like portal appeared out of thin air in the middle of the bedroom, its surface rippling with waves.

Before entering the portal, he opened his phone's photo album and selected a few photos he had taken in the small world.

The photo contains the corpses of some small figures, some wearing yellow military uniforms, and others wearing black robes.

He held the photos up to the black dog's eyes and let it look at them for a moment.

Then he took out several pieces of clothing for the little figures that he had prepared beforehand, all of which were taken from the little figures' corpses.

The clothes included yellow military uniforms and black robes.

"Black Dragon, look carefully and recognize it clearly. Remember the scent on it too."

"I'll take you into the small world later. If you find these guys, and there are a lot of them, kill them on sight. But leave the last one alive, understand?"

The black dog looked at the photos on the phone, sniffed a few of the little people's clothes, then looked up at him with a blank expression, it was unclear whether it understood.

"If you perform well tonight, I'll reward you with a chicken leg when you get back."

Upon hearing the word "chicken leg," the black dog immediately became excited.

"They're gone..."

Yang Zheng stood up, looked at the portal in front of him, took a deep breath, and then quickly led the black dog inside.

Suddenly everything went black.

As always, my brain went into a brief blank.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the top of the hill.

Looking around, the small world was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The wind is strong tonight, rustling through the surrounding mountains and forests.

The black dog crouched beside him, its bright eyes filled with vigilance.

Yang Zheng casually closed the portal and put on the night vision goggles he had prepared beforehand.

I have to say, this thing is really amazing.

The world before him was pitch black, but the moment he put on his night vision goggles, the whole world instantly changed.

Through night vision goggles, he could clearly see the surrounding environment and terrain.

However, unlike normal vision, the scenes he saw through the night vision goggles were all green, with occasional blue-gray.

The hillside, the ground, the trees... all in front of me are clearly visible.

The visuals are quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, it's not quite as clear as during the day, but it should be sufficient for traversing mountains and searching for enemy temporary bases.

He took out his compass to check it, then looked up at the northwest direction where the airship was returning, and strode down the hillside toward his target route.

The black dog stayed close to him, glancing up at Yang Zheng every now and then with puzzled looks in its eyes, clearly not understanding why its new master had brought it in.

With the help of night vision goggles and a compass, Yang Zheng was able to travel very accurately in the northwest direction.

In order not to alert the enemy, he deliberately kept the noise he made during the operation to a minimum.

But no matter how careful he was, he would sometimes startle the night birds hiding in the woods when he walked through them.

There are advantages to going to night; at least the temperature is much lower, and he's not as hot.

However, Yang Zheng had a vague feeling that the golden snake armor he wore seemed to automatically dissipate heat and keep his body temperature at a relatively stable level after wearing it for a long time.

It was another delightful and unexpected discovery.

"Could it be that golden snakeskin has the magical effect of keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Unlike humans, the black dog's vision is completely unaffected at night. No matter how fast or slow Yang Zheng walks, it can keep up with him step by step.

It's estimated that the titanium alloy dog's eyes were further enhanced after consuming the exotic fruit.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the giant, accompanied by his giant dog, carefully traversed the complex and dense mountain forest.

Along the way, Yang Zheng was surprised to find that the small world seemed even more lively at night.

Wild rabbits, wild boars, wild bears, wild goats, wild foxes... all sorts of wild animals came out.

The number is much greater than during the day.

Often, some wild animals, upon seeing a giant approaching, would not run away but would simply squat on the ground, looking up as the giant passed by.

If you hunt at night, how much money could you make in a month?

Neither the man nor the dog uttered a sound.

Apart from Yang Zheng's soft breathing, everything was quiet.

He kept his head down and hurried on, wanting only to get out of this familiar area as soon as possible and search for the temporary airship base hidden in the northwest route.

It took Yang Zheng about an hour to cross a mountain ridge several tens of meters high, finally leaving behind the familiar area he had wandered through countless times and stepping into an unfamiliar environment he had never been to before.

Yang Zheng looked up and stared ahead, observing carefully for a moment.

Ahead lay a continuous range of hills, varying in height and not very flat.

To those petty people, this terrain probably looks like a continuous mountain range.

I checked the compass again to confirm that the direction was correct.

"keep going!"

After crossing the rolling hills ahead, a mountain nearly a hundred meters high suddenly appeared before us.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense. The terrain is rugged and steep, making it difficult to travel.

Yang Zheng frowned slightly, but still climbed up with the black dog.

Soon, the man and the dog reached the top of the mountain.

The wind howled on the mountain, causing the treetops to sway incessantly.

At this moment, Yang Zheng stopped and looked down the mountain, where he saw an extremely open and flat basin.

The basin is about the size of seven or eight football fields, and it is densely packed with large trees.

Calculating the time, he figured he had traveled about ten kilometers from the hillside portal, traversing mountains and valleys.

Converted to the distance of a small world, it's over a hundred kilometers.

If this route conceals a temporary airship base for the little people, then this open, flat basin would be the best hiding place in the vicinity.

"We must go down and conduct a thorough search..."
