Chapter 684 Chapter 686 Lone Bamboo Secret Place
President Jingyuan knew what Rong Xianxian wanted to do. Rong Xianxian had refused to join the army in the first place because she wanted to find a way to save Ning Qingyun, which might require her to move around.
"That's no problem. I'll follow your arrangements." Rong Xianxian said.
"I have selected several bases that are not very dangerous and have relatively high returns. Come and have a look." President Jingyuan said as he took out three booklets from the drawer.
The first book had four large gold-plated characters on its cover: "The Secret Place of Guzhu". When opened, there was a color topographic map and related introduction.
The Guzhu Secret Land was originally a small town called Guzhu. After the end of the world, this low and flat town suddenly expanded into a mountainous area surrounded by high mountains. The area expanded a hundred times. The reason why this mountainous area is called the secret land is because there seems to be a barrier blocking it and it is inaccessible. The only entrance on the east side is open to all but no exit. None of the soldiers that the military had sent in to investigate the situation came out. According to the information sent back by the detector, there are many powerful monsters in it, and colorful poisonous miasma is flowing in the secret land. This poisonous miasma does not harm the monsters in the secret land, but will kill anyone who comes in and touches it.
"This colorful poisonous miasma is very powerful. All kinds of antidotes prepared by the Pharmaceutical Research Institute are ineffective. I have also tried the detoxification pills you prepared, but they didn't work either. However, according to the information collected in the past, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the stronger the resistance to the poisonous miasma and the longer they can last." President Jingyuan added.
"Didn't they say that no soldiers came out? Then how did they get this information?" Rong Xianxian asked in confusion.
"That was before the second wave of spiritual energy tide erupted. Three months ago, the spiritual energy erupted and the entrance to the secret place was completely opened. People could go in and out, and the monsters inside would also run out. The area around the Guzhu secret place is densely populated, and there are more than a dozen large and small safe zones. Due to some confidential reasons, these safe zones are not convenient to relocate, so we can only send troops to garrison here." President Jingyuan said.
The main reason why President Jingyuan put the Guzhu Secret Land at the top is that the barriers of other areas of the secret land are normal, and only the entrance is open, so the difficulty of garrisoning is relatively small. The Guzhu Secret Land is rich in resources. If Rong Xianxian and others are willing to go hunting in the secret land, they can train their troops, or they can increase their income by killing monsters and collecting elixirs. If they don't want to, they can just guard the entrance and kill the monsters that run out.
"If the entrance is opened, will the flowing colorful poison barrier in the secret place escape?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Yes, so collecting the poisonous miasma and handing it over to the research institute is also one of the tasks. The research institute will provide fully enclosed protective clothing. After the poisonous miasma flows out of the secret place, its density will decrease and its toxicity will also decrease. Moreover, most of the people in your team are practitioners of relatively high levels, so the danger is not great." President Jingyuan said.
"If a monster with a high level of danger that is beyond our ability to deal with escapes from the secret place, how long will it take for us to get support?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"If you encounter a monster above level five, you are allowed to use thermobaric missiles that can kill level six monsters. If the problem still cannot be solved, the fastest support will be in place within 24 hours." President Jingyuan pointed to the line of small words on the last page and said. Only then did Rong Xianxian realize that there was an introduction on the last page.
Guarding the secret place of Guzhu does not seem to be difficult.
After Rong Xianxian learned about the situation of the Guzhu secret place, she put the first booklet aside, revealing the second booklet. The cover of this book had the words "Changhu Salt Field" written on it.
The Changhu Salt Field is responsible for the salt supply of more than a dozen large official safety zones. Its importance is self-evident, especially after the second outbreak of the spiritual energy tide, the topography and geology changed, and several large inland salt lakes disappeared one after another. The Changhu Salt Field became even more important.
However, the second spiritual energy tide also had a significant impact on the Changhu Salt Field. Unknown sea beasts frequently landed and besieged the Changhu Salt Field, which greatly reduced the efficiency of the salt field's salt drying and processing. The salt field's output dropped sharply, causing a sharp increase in salt prices. Driven by interests, some civil groups went to some abandoned small salt fields in the coastal areas to make and sell salt. These people were also attacked by sea beasts, suffering heavy casualties.
In order to ensure the supply of salt and maintain the stability of the safe zone, Changhu Salt Field must restore its previous largest production capacity. In order to restore the production capacity, it can only send troops to garrison here to ensure that the work at the salt field is not affected.
Unknown sea beasts are now one of the key research objects of the research institute. Killing unknown sea beasts will also bring benefits to the team. Although the defense range is wider, the strength of sea beasts will be greatly weakened when they land. Moreover, there is no large safe zone near the Changhu Salt Field. If an accident that is difficult to deal with occurs, the garrison can retreat at any time without having to defend.
The situation at Changhu Salt Field is simpler than that at Guzhu Secret Land, but the estimated team benefits will also be much lower.
Rong Xianxian put the booklet about Changhu Salt Field aside, revealing the third booklet at the bottom. When she saw the place name written on the cover of this booklet, her heart involuntarily stopped.
The words "Pingyuan Mountain Mining Area" were written on the cover. As soon as Rong Xianxian saw these words, the dark monsters with fish-scale shells that covered the mountains and the shiny spirit stones that grew at the bottom of the river in the foggy space appeared in front of her eyes.
Rong Xianxian remembered that Xiang Qian had led troops to garrison the Pingyuanshan Mine before. Why did they change the personnel now? Did something happen there? Or was it a normal rotation of troops?
Rong Xianxian looked at the introduction and garrison requirements of this area with doubts.
The garrison requirements of this area are mainly to eliminate monsters that have escaped from the quarantine zone, prevent civilians from mistakenly entering, and organize the evacuation of civilians when necessary. It sounds simple, but in fact, the garrison difficulty of this area is the highest among the three areas, because the military will send people to collect ore from time to time. Each time ore is collected, thermal weapons are needed to clear the giant black beetles (official name) in the area and cover the miners to collect ore. Because of the huge noise, there will be abnormal movements after each mining, and the garrison troops need to control the rioting giant black beetles within a certain range.
Although this task is difficult, the rewards are also great. The shell of the black beetle is the top material for making light armor and is very valuable. The miners will only take away the ore, and the black beetles killed in the process will be left there. After the riot, the garrison can snatch the bodies of the black beetles. As long as the garrison does not set its sights on the ore and does not actively provoke the black beetles, they can generally escape unscathed.
