"Miss Lin, why don't you take a rest?" The speaker was a man, one of the group wearing masks and protective suits. His face was obscured, but his voice was very magnetic.
“I was actually looking for a base just now, but it felt like… none of them were quite right.” Lin Beiyue handed the map to the man beside her with a sense of relief: “If Sister Yin’s previous markings were correct, we are currently too close to a certain power.”
"Mind if I take a look?" The man who spoke took off his mask and held it in his hands. He had distinct features, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he exuded an aura of authority without being angry.
"Uncle Qin, what are you looking at?" Gu Changge walked over, peeked out, and saw a map.
In such cold weather, apart from basic communication devices, most electronic devices are unusable, and even if you take them out, the battery drains very quickly.
Qin Jin held a topographical map of the area from above. It was difficult to discern the details in the current white environment, as most of the landmark buildings were covered by ice and snow, and only their outlines could be barely recognized.
“If I remember correctly, Shi Yin allowed these forces to develop, originally intending it as a base outside of exile, a place for the national team to rest and stay.” Gu Changge pointed to the nearest red circle: “Judging by the time, this place should be almost finished.”
The red circle marks number 6. Lin Beiyue picked up the booklet, turned to page number 6, and saw a picture of a man.
The man was of decent appearance, seemed harmless, and had the look of an honest person. He had delicate features and a slight smile, which made him appear non-threatening.
Faction #6: Thunder Legion.
Regimental Leader: Song Yunshan.
Superpowers: Lightning (Rebirth), Space
Advantages: The family is wealthy and has invested heavily (over 5 million) to build a shelter base. They have a large stockpile of goods and can use it as a primary cooperative base.
"Not necessarily. This person has been reborn, and his family is wealthy. Compared to our family's main stronghold, which is impregnable, we may not be able to cooperate smoothly." Lin Beiyue shook her head: "We don't know when Yan Han will be gone. Why would he cooperate with us?"
To put it bluntly, people who are reborn and still have money to stock up on things have basically considered everything. They have all kinds of water and food, and they probably have a lot of them at home and in their space. It would be difficult for them to bring new things over.
They were unwilling to evacuate in the first place, and were essentially exiled on their own. Why should they cooperate with the country just because it offers to them?
Moreover, those in the first tier are called battle groups; those below them, except for the official ones, can only be called small sanctuaries.
Moreover, they had another purpose for coming out this time: to find Shi Yin.
It's no secret that Shiyin's health monitor is fake, mainly because the pointer on that health monitor never moved, not even jumping over 1 micrometer.
Someone curiously took it apart and discovered that the pointer was fake. Immediately, the rumor that Shion, who had been missing for so long, was probably dead spread like wildfire within the company.
Their real superhuman squad, the Shadow Squad, certainly wouldn't believe this claim. They knew exactly how strong Shi Yin was; even though the battlefield was desolate at the time, but...
Even Ye Shaoheng didn't die, so why did Shi Yin die?
Only after they came out did they fully realize how difficult it was to find someone. It was all white, and without a special compass, they couldn't even tell which way to go.
"Damn it, we came out too late, otherwise how could we not tell which way to go?" Lin Beiyue's face was not good: "The heavy snow has already covered everything that can be covered, and we only came out now."
"If you ask me, we should be tougher. We don't care if they agree or not, we should just charge out." Gu Changge snorted coldly. "We are the best people. Do you think they don't want us? We should be the ones who have the right to speak."
“Changge.” Qin Jin frowned. “If everyone holds this view, the order of the country will completely collapse.”
Gu Changge shrugged and remained silent, but judging from her expression, it was clear that she was still dissatisfied with the current situation.
In fact, they had applied for an exploration team a month ago, but there was a heated debate at the higher-ups about whether to seal off the area and only defend without attacking, or to explore outwards.
The Yanlong Kingdom has a very good foundation and can operate independently. Its technological development is also quite good. In the eyes of many, besieging the city and closing itself off is perfectly sufficient.
Even though Tokine kept emphasizing the need for hand-to-hand combat with machetes, there was actually a lot of opposition to this. Many people believed that various missiles were much more effective than hand-to-hand combat.
Exploring outwards is far too dangerous; only the elite are capable of it, and the loss of such individuals would be truly heartbreaking.
"In the eyes of those above them, missiles and thermal weapons are probably more useful, right?" Lin Beiyue sighed deeply.
Ever since Shi Yin disappeared, she has been trying her best to follow in Shi Yin's footsteps, wanting to shoulder the responsibilities like Shi Yin.
However, she soon discovered that she was helpless in many things. She had learned a lot of knowledge and skills on the spot, which were completely different from Shi Yin's. If it weren't for Nan Zhu and others helping her, she would have been in a mess.
"Heh heh, people who can say things like that will behave themselves once the snow and ice are over." Gu Changge grinned. "Let them see what it means to be unharmed even with smoke."
Gu Changge and Qin Jin are both people who have lived for a long time, and have basically reached the middle and late stages of their lives. Therefore, they know best what the battles to come will be like.
The current insistence on hand-to-hand combat is simply to prevent everyone from remaining in their comfort zone and to help them adapt to fighting as quickly as possible; this is the best approach.
Facing the strange monsters behind them, and all sorts of shells and missiles, the smoke and fire not only do not harm the monsters but also obscure their vision. They must find the monsters' weaknesses and kill them with one blow.
“Let’s go, let’s go to the Thunder Squadron No. 6.” Gu Changge stretched: “We are a key national training program, there’s no reason why we can’t even take down a squadron, right? Sister Beiyue, have some confidence.”
Lin Beiyue sighed softly. For someone who hadn't even survived the early stages of the story, it was really difficult to gain some self-confidence.
Near the location of Force #6.
Shi Yin sat atop the high building, looking down at everything below. Freya followed beside Shi Yin, her battle suits thin and cold even with the pinhole thermostat. Yet Freya remained calm, not even shivering.
"Freya, do you know what your special ability is?" Shi Yin calmly watched as Li Fei cautiously looked around and probed before quietly entering a building.
"I can guess a little bit, but I still need to keep trying?" Freya looked at Shi Yin with a smile: "But, is Sister paving the way for Sister Beiyue and the others?"
“Their abilities aren’t strong enough yet; this level of defense is too high for them.” Shi Yin looked at the building in front of her.
The tall building in front of us was also covered in frost, but one of its floors looked completely different from the surrounding buildings.
The metallic texture gleamed under the white snow, and it was clear to the naked eye that the steel wall was definitely not thin. The steel wall was uneven, with patches of dark and light, all of which were pitted and bumpy.
It's clear that this is a steel fortress that has withstood several rounds of attacks and looting.
