Chapter 90

Chapter 90

The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes before parting ways.

The drunk had just joined the team and didn't understand many things, so the captain didn't ask him to help with any tedious work. He just arranged for him to go to the front and watch over the car they were about to drive out.

After all, they are a second-tier team, so some of their necessary equipment may not be as complete as the first-tier ones, but they still have what they need. Unlike the town’s defense force, they don’t even have many vehicles that can properly travel in the wilderness after the mutation.

The second-line team is fully equipped, and even their vehicles have been properly modified, allowing them to drive into the deserted wilderness filled with mutant plants and animals that can actively attack at any time.

Standing in front of the car, the drunk uncle reached out and gently touched the car body, feeling the coldness of his fingertips, but a fire was still burning in his heart.

Perhaps, he was unable to find his child in the past, just like the team in the town and the team he is in now.

The resources available to you vary depending on your location, and the difference in resources determines how far you can go.

He should be grateful for this mutation, which gave him the ability to directly cross the gap that was impossible to cross before, and to a certain extent, he has better resources.

These resources are probably the necessary prerequisites that he lacked before he wanted to find his child.

Thinking of this, the drunk uncle's eyes darkened slightly and narrowed slightly. After hearing the footsteps behind him, he suddenly opened his narrowed eyes.

"Have you been waiting here for a long time? Is there anything unusual here?"

A team member who had been chatting happily with him before, reached out and gently touched the drunk uncle's arm when he approached him.

"It's okay, there's just someone watching over here, is there anything wrong?"

The drunk stood here looking at the car. There was nothing else happening, except that some people would occasionally look in the direction of his finger. On the surface, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but since he saw it, he had to react.

"Well, it's okay for them. They can watch it if they want. It won't have any impact."

Looking in the direction of the drunk's finger, after seeing the appearance of those people clearly, the teammate shook his head.

"Some of those people are the families of our second-line team. They always take a few extra glances at our team when they are about to leave, so that we can give them some food to eat on the way before they see their families getting ready to leave."

As they were talking, the teammates saw a middle-aged man running towards them.

"Well, that's right."

Looking at the plastic bag in the other person's hand, although I don't know what exactly is in it, I roughly know that it is nothing more than some food.

"It's good this way. It's close to home, and my family can take care of me."

Seeing this scene, the drunk uncle nodded, turned around and helped the team members next to him load the things that were not loaded into the car.

"This car is really good. I touched it before and it felt like the material was completely different from our previous cars."

Not paying attention to anything else, the drunk said this casually while helping to load the car.

"We don't have the best ones. The car is just average, it won't break down, it can only be used to get out."

Hearing their words, the captain who was coming towards them shook his head.

"Yes, the cars of the front-line teams are the best. Even the cars of our colleagues who observe data on the front line are much better than ours."

Before the drunk uncle could ask, his teammate had finished speaking.

Although the Internet is well developed nowadays and you can find clues and get some information about many things online, you still have to ask the parties involved and those who are engaged in these jobs to know the details.

Just like their team's off-road vehicle, who would know if you didn't tell them? Its appearance is similar to those first-line off-road work vehicles, but its internal configuration and defense level are not comparable at all.

"The frontline is more dangerous, so we need better equipment."

After the captain said this, the team was already organized and ready to set off at any time.

"Captain, shall we go now?"

From a distance, a team member took the plastic bag from the middle-aged man, held it in his hand and walked towards the captain.

When he got closer, he handed the plastic bag to the captain for inspection, and asked questions as he handed it over.

"Well, we're about to leave. What did your family bring you? Are they going to let you gnaw on pork elbows while walking?"

Looking at the two pork elbows and the pig's trotter lying in the plastic bag, the captain was speechless.

"Isn't this because I broke my leg last time? They've been asking me to eat this lately. I can't drink the pig's trotter soup when I go out, so they want me to just eat it. Don't worry, Captain. You can also try my mom's braised pork elbow on the way. It's delicious..."

After hearing the captain's words and seeing his eyes rolled up, the team members saw his casual look and knew that he wouldn't mind it, so they followed him into the car with a grin on their faces.

The drunk had just arrived here and wasn't familiar with the people here yet, so he just watched the captain and his teammates chatting and laughing, and would occasionally join in when they were called upon.

The pig's trotters and pork elbows that my teammates' families had been thinking about bringing for them never reached their mouths in the end. They were fed to the ground without even a bite.

I didn’t eat at first because it wasn’t time for dinner yet, and I didn’t eat later simply because I didn’t have the chance to eat.

"My hoof!"

Seeing the car overturned, the teammate didn't even care about himself. He just looked at the bag of pig's trotters and elbows that had been thrown out, with a look of heartache on his face.

"Okay, forget about your elbows and hooves, and come out and help."

The teammate who had followed the drunk uncle out of the overturned car turned around and saw the man still sitting upside down and yelling at the pig's trotters outside the window, and scolded him out loud.

"oh."

Hearing this, Brother Pig's Feet stopped screaming, twisted his body to open the upside-down car door, and rolled himself out of the car. When he stood up, he had a clear view of the situation outside.

"Strange! Hasn't this place already been cleared by the frontline? How come there are still such aggressive mutant plants?"

Looking at a willow-shaped tree in front of him that was being attacked by the captain and his teammates, he muttered something, but without delay, he went over there.

Uncle Drunk was originally assigned to contact the third team on the front line to help them overcome the difficulties.

After all, he had just joined the team, and the captain and teammates were not clear about what his ability was or how much attack power it had. They only saw in the information that it was an auxiliary ability.

To be on the safe side, the captain finally asked him to contact the contact person and did not let the drunk uncle play.

However, the attack power of that willow tree is still stronger than the combat power of the entire second-line team.

In addition, the willow branches were swung very flexibly by him. For a moment, the people who were defending in front of the entire team could not even protect themselves.

Not to mention protecting those with weaker abilities behind them.

The drunk uncle just took out the contact number from the car and contacted the people from the third team of the front line to explain the situation clearly.

Before he hung up the phone, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. Almost instinctively, he dived into the back seat of the car and successfully escaped.

In other words, I dodged a disaster, and the car door wasn't even closed yet.

After failing to hurt the drunk uncle, the willow branch hit the glass of the door on the other side of the car with a bang.

Fortunately, this car has been modified and many materials have been replaced. Such a strong attack did not shatter the car glass, but only caused faint cracks.

Even though no one was hurt, the willow branch was unwilling to give up, so it simply used its branch to pick up the entire car and sent it flying.

The off-road vehicle, which had been overturned and stood upside down on the ground, rolled several times on the ground because of the lift, and finally landed successfully on all four wheels by sheer luck.

The drunk uncle was not so lucky. Although he was not thrown out of the car, he was hit by some equipment inside the car and was covered with injuries because the car was rolling like clothes in a washing machine.

Fortunately, he is a person with special abilities, and his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if he was hit like this, his bones are fine, and at most he would get bruises.

"Uncle Captain, someone called Second Line just called you and said they were about to come over, but were stopped by a very powerful mutant plant. Please support me."

Hearing the chaotic noise on the other end of the phone, and finally the call being hung up without any warning, the child tilted his head and reported to the uncles and brothers outside the car window.

Their current location is exactly where they passed before.

The senior brother from the research institute stopped here for testing and sent the person back to the research institute.

Seeing that the operation went so smoothly, the senior brother expressed his gratitude to Team 3 for being so responsible and protecting him and his junior brothers.

After knowing that Team Three's next mission was to work here with Team One, they stopped by to check it again on the way back.

The current position of the third team is just right for camping. If they go any higher, the influence of the mineral vein will affect their communication. Further out, they will be farther away from the mineral vein passage on the mountain. The current position is just right.

Team One didn't have to worry about this, as one of their team members had communication skills. So, without worrying about contact issues, they went straight in, hoping to find a better crack to go down into the mine.

The mutant animals on the mountain were a little agitated because there were suddenly so many people on Sang Mountain. When the three teams went up the mountain to check, they saw mutant animals staring at them in the corner.

I thought that if the mutant animals were really impatient, they would definitely attack them. Who would have thought that these mutant animals harassed by humans in the mountains have not made any moves yet.

On the way to Sangshan, the mutated plants became anxious first.

"Uncle Captain, are we going over there to rescue people now?"

The child looked up and looked at the captain of team three inquiringly.

"Well, since they've come to us for help, it must be a mutant plant that they can't solve. We should go and help them as soon as possible."

The captain nodded, leaned over to pick up the child, let him lie on his shoulders, and sat in the position where the child had just sat.

There is not enough space in the team's car, and there are still some things that need to be put on the car. They have been reporting this situation to their superiors, either to apply for an extra car or to modify the car again.

As a result, there were too many cars that needed to be modified at the vehicle modification department, and they were too busy to handle it. In addition, the first-line cars were barely usable, and there has been no response until now, so we can only sit in this crowded place.

Fortunately, it was just a little crowded and there was no other impact.

"Get ready and help immediately."

Turning to look at the team members who were packing up outside, the captain shouted.

"Captain, now!"

The team member replied, turned around, crumpled up the non-breakable things, picked them up and threw them into the backpack.

Normally, their current location is a camping spot. No one will come to take their things if they leave them here temporarily. After all, they basically know everyone who comes here from outside. If they want to take things, they can just let them know. There is no need to be so wary of others.

But there must be a reason why they still act this way.

People will not easily take things they don't need, but the mutated animals in the mountains don't think so.

They don't care whether these bipedal things can be used by them or not. It is normal for them to take them away out of curiosity.

The thing about the previous team was that even though Zhuang Dun was there, a lot of their luggage was placed in a temporary space.

But there are also some things placed outside. You can't ask Zhuang Dun for everything you need, so some things are still piled up outside.

Those mutant animals took advantage of the time when a group of people went down the passage to look for spirit stones, sneaked into their camp, and emptied out all the things there.

If the car wasn't so big and obvious, it would have been impossible to find it.

But those small items were not so lucky. Those that could not be found were one thing, and those that could be found were all shattered into pieces. Even the underwear that was stuffed under the bicycle seat was dug out by those with a keen sense of smell and was torn to pieces.

It can be seen that those mutant animals are very curious about human things and want to take a look at everything.

They rushed all the way to the place the drunkard mentioned. It was not far away and they arrived there soon.

From a distance, you can see a tree with bared fangs and claws swinging its long branches to attack the people on the ground.

It's just that the people who were resisting looked a little strange.

"Doesn't this look like you're unable to resist?"

The team member reached out and took the child from his captain's shoulder, looking at the strange scene outside the car window.

"There's something wrong with that tree's attack power."

When the captain saw his team members carrying the child over, he had the opportunity to carefully observe the battle situation over there.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed something was wrong.

"Normally, they can't resist trees of this level at all. The time it takes us to get here is enough for the mutant plants to kill them all." It's luck to be alive.

The last sentence was not spoken, but the meaning was obvious.

"But now, although those people are having difficulty holding on, they can still fight the tree back and forth. It's not a big deal."

When the team member heard what the captain said, he looked over there carefully and continued the captain's words.

"Um."

The captain responded, and when he saw that the car had stopped at a suitable location, he opened the door and got out to provide support.

"Support has arrived, hold on a little longer."

The second-line captain who was facing the mutated Yang Liu in front shouted to his teammates in surprise after noticing the movement in the distance.

Although it didn't take much time for the first-line third team to get from the foot of Sangshan to their current position, in battle, that time is calculated in seconds. In order to wait for the first-line third team to arrive, their entire team almost used up all their tricks, and only then did they manage to hold on without any major problems.

If there hadn't been a new team member with great abilities who could calm the mutant willow's fighting spirit to a certain extent, they really wouldn't have been able to stand until now. They probably wouldn't even be able to lie on the ground and would have been directly hung on the mutant willow.

But soothing and control can only be temporary. The gap in ability between the mutant Yang Liu and the drunk uncle is quite large. If you are not careful, the other party will break free from control.

He made a 360-degree spin, swinging the branches around him vigorously, giving their team a branch version of the spinning competition.
