A beautiful figure swimming against the current
Chapter 58
The car moved to the left, and except for the four Xiu Luoma who left the city according to Wei Huan's order, the entire undead army also moved to the left.
They saw the car when it was only about a thousand meters away.
These are also new models of minivans, but the exterior colors of these cars have become more flashy.
Some were painted completely black, others were covered in colorful graffiti, and one car even had a little yellow duck with its head missing on its roof.
Just changing the exterior color of the car and adding some exterior decorations will cost you very little points, usually around 10 points will be enough.
After all, he is an old challenger, and everyone has some points.
Moreover, if you stay in a comfort zone for a long time, you will no longer just focus on strengthening yourself with equipment, but will also make some useless waste.
Wei Huan looked at the six cars not far ahead.
What is certain is that these cars did not exist before, and Ghost Crow would not have failed to tell him if he had seen them.
So, these cars are just now appearing.
In other words, there was someone hiding in this city all along, and he only showed up after learning that he had been rescued.
It can't be such a coincidence, is it that he just returned?
"Wei, Wei Huan?"
The car in the front is a black van. The three-level arrow tower on top of its head is in attack mode. It can be seen that it should be the best developed car among them.
So, the person who was shouting was also someone in this car.
The window of the black van rolled down, and a person leaned out from inside, half of his face wrapped in a gray cloth. Judging from the voice, it was a woman.
Mu Zhong spoke on Wei Huan's behalf, "Hello, we are the Wei Huan team. Look at this army of undead. It is the only one of its kind in the world."
The woman was silent for a few seconds, then opened the car door and got out.
A wrinkled gray rag wrapped her body from head to toe. After taking a few steps, she pulled the cloth off her face under Mu Zhong's seemingly smiling gaze, revealing a beautiful face with a rosy complexion.
Then, the cloth continued to tear downwards, revealing the neck and chest, until it was completely opened, revealing a set of almond-white equipment inside.
The most eye-catching thing is the Northeast Army badge on the left side of the chest.
The woman walked into the car's attack range, her eyes fell on Mu Zhong's face, and she raised her hand and saluted.
"Challenge the World, Northeast Challenge Army, stationed at Supply Point No. 3 on the Secondary Highway, Fan Tao reports in!!"
The sound was so powerful that it resembled a bullet, making a hole when it hit the ground.
Her eyes were straight, sharp, and full of determination.
Mu Zhong glanced at Wei Huan, and subconsciously straightened his clothes. Then he pushed open the car door, drove his wheelchair, and got out of the car.
Liu Chengzhi hurriedly followed, pushing the cart behind him as a guard.
Wei Huan took a step behind and told the smart butler to keep an eye on the situation before he opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he heard Mu Zhong say, "Hello, Captain Fan. I am Mu Zhong, a reserve member of the Sixth Squadron of the Northeastern Challenge Army Dragon Group."
"Hello, Commander Mu." Fan Tao shook Mu Zhong's hand. As Mu Zhong looked at her with doubt, he glanced at Wei Huan, then glanced at their car. He then explained, "Your names are known throughout Daxia. As a soldier of the Northeast Military Region, I'm proud of you, so it's inevitable that I'll pay more attention to you."
Wei Huan walked up to Fan Tao and shook the hand that Fan Tao offered him. "Hello, let me tell you the situation first."
The simple greetings ended here. Obviously, now was not the time to praise each other. Confirming identities was just to ensure enough trust and to understand the real situation here.
"...The treasure spawned near here. The bad thing is, it's a huge treasure, 28 pieces in total. It was obtained by multiple forces and then jointly speculated to be here."
At this point, Fan Tao's calm expression could no longer be disguised. He clenched his fists at his sides and tried his best to suppress his anger. "A large number of people gathered here, attracting attacks from stray monsters. The troublemakers all fled together, leaving us at the original supply point alone. We have to resist the monsters that attack the city at twice the speed of us..."
Finally, Fan Tao couldn't continue speaking.
Many people died, and her comrades were eaten alive by the monsters right in front of her.
Just a moment ago, they were talking and laughing, celebrating their upcoming promotion.
Why?
Are they going to pay for their greed? Are they going to pay for their reckless behavior?
Xiaokai’s child was just born!
How cruel it is to be without a father as soon as you come into this world?
Fan Tao raised her hands to cover her face and took a deep breath to prevent herself from collapsing.
It was so embarrassing. It was obviously two juniors who were younger than me who just passed the track on the secondary road, but they became my support.
It shouldn't be like this.
After adjusting his breathing and calming down, Fan Tao said, "Luckily, we built an underground safe house under this city. After returning to the Challenge World, we have been living in it, rotating among several cars.
Today, someone heard the noise of fighting and came out to see what was happening, and discovered you."
At the end of her words, a faint smile appeared on Fan Tao's face again, and she looked eagerly at Wei Huan, Mu Zhong, and Liu Chengzhi behind them.
"Starting today and continuing until tomorrow morning, many challengers will return. This will become the most dangerous area. What we need to do now is to open a passage in and out of the city and transport the residents out as quickly as possible to prevent more wandering monsters from appearing after nightfall."
"Okay." Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong also said: "The people sent by the authorities to pick them up are already outside the city. Please prepare the list of personnel now, and we can send them out directly."
"Now?"
This time Fan Tao was really surprised. She looked back at the seven cars parked behind her. The people hiding in the cars had already gotten out and were looking at her hesitantly and excitedly.
Then she turned her head and looked at the skeleton of the mother earth beast that had always been protecting Wei Huan's car.
I don’t know if it’s because of the scary appearance, but looking at it this way actually makes me feel safer.
"Okay." Finally, Fan Tao nodded, and without any delay, turned around to count the number of people.
When she walked a little further away, Wei Huan said with certainty, "She is not the captain of this garrison."
Mu Zhong's heart skipped a beat. Liu Chengzhi couldn't help but stare: "What is that?"
Wei Huan didn't expect the two to react so strongly, so he smiled and explained, "She must be a support profession who was protected by the team until the end."
"You mean..." Mu Zhong thought about it, "She took over the team's responsibilities and continued to challenge the world until now?"
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded.
This is a wonderful thing.
It is obvious that the support profession has a very difficult life in the competition stage, but once it successfully becomes a challenger and is incorporated into the combat team, the support profession will definitely be protected and the one who survives to the end.
In his memory, there was a girl who served in more than 10 teams. Every team was wiped out during the mission, leaving only her alive. She was secretly called the "disaster star".
In the end, the girl fought her way to Sequence 6 and became the best auxiliary profession in the world, the "Angel of Life".
Before returning, Wei Huan was fortunate enough to attend an online open class taught by this angel of life.
She said: "The reason I am still alive is because my mission is to save more people.
Whenever I feel like I can’t do it, I will remember the voices that support me from behind. They tell me to run, run forward and don’t look back.
So I ran forward, never giving up, never looking back. I wanted to become the most powerful battlefield healer, go to the most dangerous places, and contribute even the last bit of my strength to the brave soldiers."
A "disaster star", a healer known as "poisonous milk", was at the forefront of the war, saving thousands of soldiers and blocking the army of dark beasts again and again.
The girl's name is the Angel of Life - Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue is not Fan Tao, but Fan Tao, who came back despite being in such danger, will sooner or later become another angel of life.
Wei Huan admires every beautiful figure going against the current.
Sure enough, Fan Tao quickly handed back the list, but her name was not on it.
Mu Zhong asked her why.
She said: "There will be many more people coming back, and I have to stay here. They have seen me and trust me more. I am confident that I can arrange for them to leave the city in an orderly manner."
"Okay." Mu nodded, then maneuvered his wheelchair aside and said, "Would you like to get in and rest for a while? It's going to be very tiring."
Fan Tao shook her head: "I am very familiar with the situation in the city. Now that you have cleared out the monster tribes in the city, I can act with confidence."
After a pause, Fan Tao continued, "But I remember that the parking lot is now blocked by rubble. If a large number of vehicles appear on the rubble, I'm afraid there will be an accident."
Wei Huan asked directly: "How many helpers are needed to complete the cleanup in a short time?"
Fan Tao's eyes moved from Wei Huan and the other two to the large female Earth Beast. After a moment's thought, he said, "Can they help? Three? Two? One? One is enough."
Fan Tao thought that the five skeletons of the mother earth beasts here were all of Wei Huan's combat power.
Wei Huan asked, "Are 20 enough?"
"ah?"
"That should be enough." After saying this, Wei Huan's mind moved, and four huge portals appeared behind him. One after another, the skeletons of female earth beasts as big as trucks walked out of the portals and quickly filled the field of vision.
Fan Tao's mouth was slightly open and couldn't close.
The group of challengers behind him gasped in shock.
Now, for the first time, they have a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the championship.
The earth beast skeletons here are enough to overturn their car and kill them!
Wei Huan came with 20 of them! He could easily slaughter all of them!
And is this Wei Huan's full strength? No! Look at those running around and flying in the sky, they are all human, why is there such a big difference?
At this moment, a "tiny" face hugger suddenly jumped out from the dark ruins and jumped onto Wei Huan's back.
"Be careful!" someone couldn't help but remind.
Wei Huan simply turned slightly to the side, letting the facehugger crawl on his back and hug his neck and head.
Then Wei Huan whispered something.
This look actually gives the feeling of a facehugger acting coquettishly.
Of course it was Gouzi who came.
The dog is an elite life form and very smart. Wei Huan asked it to lead these female ground beasts to help Fan Tao move things, while also protecting good people.
This kind of complex instruction, which was not given by Wei Huan in person, is difficult for ordinary undead to execute accurately.
Call the dog over and the matter will basically be settled.
Then, Wei Huan looked at Fan Tao and said, "Sign, don't speak, they won't understand. If they don't understand through gestures, just do it yourself and they will imitate."
"Uh, okay."
Fan Tao's gaze fell on the facehugger that jumped down again. From the back shell, it looked like a half-meter-long spider, with an oval body with a bit of edges and corners. The bony shell was white and moist, and it moved very nimbly.
But Fan Tao knew that the face hugger's abdomen was very scary. Just now, she even saw the crack in the face hugger's abdomen, which had bitten Wei Huan on the back of his head.
It was hard to imagine that Wei Huan would look at this facehugger with such tenderness.
Gou Zi walked out a few steps and saw Fan Tao standing there, so he ran back and twisted his body to signal her to follow him.
After doing this twice, Fan Tao came to his senses and hurriedly followed.
Then I found out that this thing looked like a dog.
The place Fan Tao wanted to go was not far away, only about ten minutes' walk away. It was a "parking lot" located in the square in the middle of the city.
In the road challenge, the car and the challenger are bound together. When the person leaves, the car will disappear. When the person comes back, he will come back directly from the car.
So I don’t want to be stuck in an alley or cave in an awkward situation, or hit someone else’s car when I come back.
The "parking lot" and "challenge room" are two special areas for maintaining order.
In the Challenge World, at least in the orderly countries such as Daxia, Osham, and Tula, there is a strict rule that parking in the city must be done in the "parking lot".
The parking lot also has parking spaces marked out like Blue Star. After registering, you park in the parking space. When you choose to return to Blue Star, the car will disappear.
The parking space will be reserved for 30 days, which is also the 30-day limit for maintaining the challenger status.
The benefit of doing this is not only order, but also counting how many people give up their challenger status each month.
It’s just that some countries charge for parking, while others don’t.
At Supply Point No. 3, there is a building that they are proud of. It is a government building built in imitation of the first city of Daxia, Qianfeng City, surrounding the central square.
In the desert, it is not easy to build a four-story building without the assistance of modern technology.
But there are two such buildings at Supply Point No. 3, one used as an office and the other as a trading hall.
At one point in the past, Supply Point No. 3 was the largest trading place within a thousand miles.
This is why, although it is just a supply point, it has towering and solid city walls.
But now, these two buildings were completely destroyed in the monster attack and turned into ruins scattered on the ground.
Once those vehicles return, they might be crushed underneath.
Standing in front of the ruins, Fan Tao hesitated and pointed forward to Gou Zi.
The dog didn't understand what was going on, so he jumped up, climbed nimbly on the ruins, circled around, and came back without doing anything.
Fan Tao remembered Wei Huan's instructions and went forward to move the stone.
She moved the stones from the ruins one by one and piled them up at the edge of the area.
During this time, the dog kept looking at her.
Until she came back for the third time...
"Yi~~Yi~~" the dog suddenly let out a sharp howl.
Then Fan Tao saw that the abdominal cavities of the female earth beasts surrounding the ruins opened, and white bone balls fell out in clumps one after another.
The moment these white bone balls fell to the ground, their eight long legs spread out and lay on the ground like a white wave, surging onto the ruins.
Facehugger!
Countless Facehuggers!!
On the battlefield, the facehugger that made humans' scalps tingle also made Fan Tao's hair stand on end.
But she saw these face huggers, after climbing up the ruins, pick up a piece of rubble, run to her feet and throw it down.
In just a moment of distraction, such a large area of rubble was moved away like a layer of skin, and piled up into a small mountain beside him.
"Good, so strong..."
Fan Tao suddenly discovered that if such an undead life was given to her, she could also speak gently and lovingly.
…
Wei Huan drove the car and personally escorted the group away.
There were six cars in total, with 16 people, and two people in each car, some of them were comrades-in-arms, and some were couples.
They did manage to log off during the monster siege.
But for various reasons, they did not stay on Blue Star for long and ventured back to the Challenge World.
But as soon as they got there, they were trapped in the city.
Unable to leave, and unable to return to Blue Star, he persisted in fear and hunger until now, waiting for Wei Huan to appear.
Among them, there are many middle-aged people.
Many of them were among the first group to enter the challenge world. They gritted their teeth and maintained their status as challengers, but did not dare to move forward.
Stay on the second road, open treasure chests, collect treasure maps, do some business, and gradually treat this place as your workplace.
It was fine when the city was safe, and they kept the city running perfectly.
But once a war breaks out, how can these people who don't even dare to face the challenge have the strength to protect the city?
Now, when they heard that they were going to be escorted away, they followed obediently.
During this period, there were people who wanted to take the opportunity to get to know this well-known young genius, but when they saw the huge earth beast skeleton protecting the car, they didn't dare to get close.
Wei Huan's car was in the front.
It was very peaceful when he came out of the city because he took the same road that Xiu Luoma had taken. The stray monsters on this road had been cleared out and traces of battle could be seen everywhere.
If you go farther away, you can still see the torn pieces of the wandering monsters on the ground.
This is how the Xiu Luo Ma fights. They tear and tear their prey apart in various ways, and once they catch their prey, it is truly a "five-horse dismemberment" move.
However, these body parts will soon be recovered by the Challenge World.
As for where the recycling went, most people believed that, just like those humans swallowed by the darkness, they would continue to take on the task of attacking challengers and stimulating evolution.
Wei Huan's expression remained calm, but the challengers following behind him all turned pale with fear.
Someone in the car whispered, "Is it really okay?"
Someone else answered him, "It should be fine. Wei Huan donated a Tier 5 vehicle. I heard Fan Tao call Mu Zhong Captain Mu. He's from the Mu family and holds a military rank. What could be the problem?"
When talking about the Mu family, it is inevitable to talk about the Northeast Army Corps, which leads to a burst of sighs.
"The Northeastern Challenge Army was crippled by a surprise attack from the Dark Beasts." The speaker was a middle-aged man with a white beard. The wrinkles around his eyebrows were noticeably deep, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. "Not only is Commander Hong Gang unconscious, but many outstanding soldiers also died in that battle. When I returned to Blue Star, I happened to see the live broadcast of the 3,000 martyrs entering the mausoleum. My heart is broken..."
The young man next to him had his eyes rolling around and looked very restless.
"Master, why don't we leave too? Many people in our district have decided to go to the third-level highway. When the next stage comes, they can go and join other military districts. The Northeast Army is obviously going to fail."
The middle-aged man did not nod immediately, but frowned and looked at the skeletal figures in front of the convoy.
After a while, he laughed at his own hesitation.
He is just an outstanding newcomer. Can he really change the future of the Northeast Army?
"Let's go! As long as we can survive this time, we'll go and try our hand at the Class III highway!" The middle-aged man slapped the steering wheel, "Let's join the Southeast Challenge Army!"
Wei Huan sat in the driver's seat and changed the car to manual driving mode.
He drove very slowly to make it easier for the cars behind him to catch up.
Many of these people have been challenging the world for four or five years, but their vehicles are not as well developed as his.
Of the seven vehicles, only one was a Class 3 vehicle, the official bus used by Fan Taozheng, and it did not follow.
"We're on a road challenge. The core of a road challenge is to move forward." Mu Zhong's voice rang out behind him. Wei Huan turned his gaze from the rearview mirror to look at her. "When you stop, it means that this challenge has stopped."
Ambition and belief have stagnated together.
Not far ahead, I saw the figure of Xiu Luoma fighting.
The actual battle situation was more intense than imagined.
There were at least fifty or sixty wandering monsters gathered in front of us, stirring up sand and fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
Occasionally, a flash of white light appeared, splashing thick blood and accompanied by roars.
Wei Huan knew that it was a spirit-followed being using magic to attack.
This is an official aid force, but they have been blocked here by wandering monsters for who knows how long.
The noise of the battle continued to attract wandering monsters here.
They were surrounded.
"Hold on!! My spiritual power will be restored soon, hold on a little longer!"
"Protect Koharu!! Don't let the monsters touch him!!"
"Is your ghost step ready? How long are you going to charge up? If you don't come soon, I'm going to die!!"
Two fully occupied Level 3 vehicles have been stopped here for more than an hour.
The legion squads, which had been fighting for a long time, were exhausted.
The most frustrating thing was that when they wanted to evacuate, they found that they were surrounded.
The illusion lizard weaved an illusion, tricking them into moving forward unconsciously. By the time they realized something was wrong, they were already deep in danger.
In this position, we can neither move forward nor backward.
It turned out to be a situation where I was trapped and sacrificed.
The captain had already gotten out of the car and was fighting with the wandering monsters with the other three real soldiers and ghost-step soldiers in the team, and they were all covered in wounds.
If it weren't for another team bringing a spirit follower who took action at the critical moment and eliminated the monster that posed the greatest threat, they might have already had someone sacrificed.
But even so, the battle dragged on too long.
The spiritual power of the spirit follower was exhausted, and his ghost steps were so weak that he had no explosive power. The real soldiers who were holding on in the front could not recover as fast as the speed of their wounds tearing.
Most people are already shaky and ready to fall down at any time.
Unexpectedly, they were the ones who got stuck in a rescue mission.
But who could he turn to for justice? If he had to investigate, he would have to blame the Dark Beast leader for the surprise attack on the Northeast Challenge Army, which resulted in the sacrifice of so many high-ranking challengers. Originally, a mission of this level was not theirs to handle.
"Those who have the return talisman, get ready." It was the captain who finally spoke.
This also means that those who do not have the Return Talisman are destined to die here.
"Who has the return talisman? Let me know." asked the captain.
There was a long silence, and no one spoke.
The captain grabbed the sand scorpion's pincers and threw it out. At the same time, a sniper rifle appeared in his hand. He took aim in 0.1 seconds and pulled the trigger. The flying sand scorpion had its tail broken in the air and screamed in pain.
After putting away the sniper rifle, the captain yelled with red eyes, "Speak to me, everyone! Those who have the talisman, get back!"
