Chapter 169: War Clan Headquarters
When the opponent approached to about 6 kilometers away, Wei Huan also "fled in panic", maintaining a speed similar to that of the opponent, and ran all the way for half an hour before accelerating again and easily getting rid of the pursuers.
The captain of one of the pursuing vehicles was a short, lean, and sturdy man with a small mustache. After losing track of Wei Huan's vehicle, he cursed, "He ran away! I didn't expect ruins to appear in our mountains. They stole something that belonged to us. What a loss!"
Another car said: "I left and went back. What else can I do if I can't catch up? Be careful that the tiger is lured away from the mountain."
"Why are you trying to lure a tiger away from its mountain? We've only just sent a few people out. If anyone manages to break into the headquarters, he'll regret it so much that he'll stick his brain in his asshole and kill himself."
"Be careful. I heard Wei Huan has come to the fourth-level world. He has a grudge against us, but we didn't provoke him. He's already destroyed two of our landing points and even razed the residence of a candidate Saint Son. The Saint Lord is furious, but why did he order all the War Clan members to return for the War Clan Festival? What a ridiculous War Clan Festival! They're simply afraid of Wei Huan and are avoiding it. I heard from someone close to the Saint Lord that Wei Huan won't be able to stay in the fourth-level world for long. Let everyone out after he leaves."
"Not really. Wei Huan is just one person and one car. The Clan War Festival is celebrated every year. It's just the right time. Why is it all because of Wei Huan?"
"You have to believe me, I have someone above me..."
The three cars chasing Wei Huan returned after losing their trail, unaware that thirty kilometers away, a car was moving silently behind them.
Thirty kilometers is the maximum detection distance after upgrading to the super AI system. Wei Huan asked the butler to track the vehicle to the limit because he was worried that the other car might have advanced AI hidden in it.
Wei Huan believes that there are only two super AIs in the challenge world at present, one is with Mu Zhong, and the other is the one in the car. No one can see farther than them.
This tracking lasted for more than two hours.
The three chariots that were chasing them immediately joined up with the two chariots that remained in place after returning. The red dots representing them on the map were constantly moving, apparently surveying the traces of Wei Huan's stay here.
It lasted for a long time, and I don’t know what they found, but then they left.
They drove in the direction they came from, heading deep into the blizzard. The violent wind blew them away, and they disappeared within three meters. In such bad weather, even if they left traces, they would soon be submerged.
One of the five tanks was indeed equipped with intermediate AI. The safe scanning radius allowed them to remain relaxed and drive very skillfully on the steep and dangerous road.
The winding road on the snowy mountain seems impossible, but it is unexpectedly made of solid mountain rocks. Even wheels running close to the ground can run on it, let alone a flying car that can take off.
The housekeeper in Wei Huan's car was 30 kilometers away, meticulously drawing a map, including every tiny turn they made, until they disappeared deep into the mountains for a long time.
Finally, Wei Huan also arrived at this secret passage.
"This place really has a secret." Xu Qingqiang also noticed something strange. "I didn't expect that blasting a mountain could actually blow people out. It must be something bad. Built in such a secret mountain, did Mu Zhong say what's hidden here?"
"I guess it might be the Zhan clan." Wei Huan also revealed the information bit by bit.
Xu Qingqiang was surprised. "Is this the secret base of the Zhan Clan? No wonder. A rat that everyone wants to kill must hide in a remote corner. The person who discovered the anomaly here is really a genius. They have come a long way to get here."
Seeing Wei Huan ordering the butler to drive onto this road, Xu Qingqiang stopped Wei Huan and said, "Something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"From what you say, you're not planning to go to this meeting alone, are you? I don't think we should be responsible for this. A small gathering place is fine, but what if it's a large stronghold with hundreds of elderly, weak, women and children like Aunt Peng? We can't stop them, and killing them wouldn't be appropriate. I think the Legion should send someone to deal with this matter."
Wei Huan glanced sideways. How could Xu Qingqiang, a lone wolf with such a bad temper, actually talk about unity and cooperation?
He thought of something and asked Xu Qingqiang: "Is it dangerous in there?"
Xu Qingqiang rubbed his nose and shook his head: "I don't eat humans, how would I know what's going on inside?"
Wei Huan looked at Dou Lin again.
Dou Lin had been watching a documentary. When the word "Auntie Peng" was mentioned, his little neck suddenly straightened up and he looked over.
Wei Huan said to Dou Lin, "Judge it."
"Do you want to fight? There are a lot of Aunt Pengs in there? No, no." The child shook his head.
Wei Huan was silent for a few seconds and realized that he had miscalculated something.
He has never attacked the human race. Even the War Clan is still a human race. This matter may not be as simple as he imagined.
The current War Clan gives people a more pitiful impression. They are a group of poor guys who can't go back to the Blue Star and can only hide in the Challenge World.
If I insist on attacking, the momentum will not be on my side.
It is difficult to explain to everyone how great the harm left by the War Clan is, and that the power of this clan must be disintegrated as soon as possible.
So the quick and easy approach that I had thought of at the beginning no longer worked.
I'm afraid the mission objective this time will have to be changed.
A portal appeared on the side of the car, but the number of troops that appeared was not as large as expected.
Only Sister Crow and a few ghost crows flew out, along with two Demon Eye Lords who served as Wei Huan's vision, and they set off with four little dog-headed men.
The fourth-level undead moved relatively slowly in such a harsh environment, but fortunately they no longer needed to use a channel and could fly directly into the mountains to check.
Soon, Wei Huan reached the limit of his summoning distance, and he ordered the chariot to move forward along the secret passage.
The ground of the secret passage was also covered with thick snow, but the car was very strong on it. The winding and complicated route might lead to a deep abyss if you took one more step. It was hard to imagine how the people who discovered this secret passage managed to do it.
Wei Huan's vision had shifted from the mountain road to the Lord of the Demon Eye.
The Demon Eye Lord seemed to be flying in thick fog, and his speed of advancement was much slower than usual. The little dog-headed man on his head was probably blown away by the strong wind, so he lay down and hugged the big eyeballs of the Demon Eye Lord. So when Wei Huan's vision came down, he saw a close-up of the upside-down dog head.
Wei Huan stared at the dog-headed man for two seconds. The other party kept smiling with squinting eyes. Although he knew that this was the specific expression of the dog-headed man, Wei Huan still used his ability to investigate the dog-headed man, but unfortunately there was nothing abnormal.
The giant dog heads recruited at the beginning are elites. They have been devouring giant dog heads and will be transformed into small dog heads that they can control. However, the conversion probability is rather touching. Only one or two out of ten can be successfully transformed. It is better to recruit giant dog heads directly, which is more cost-effective.
Moreover, Wei Huan's recent recruitment focus has been on flying monkeys, so he has not been paying attention to the gnolls. The number of gnolls in the undead army has not changed for a long time, and no abnormalities have occurred.
Wei Huan regretfully turned his eyes away from the little dog-headed man, but did not drive it away. He just let it occupy a small area of his vision and looked forward.
This mountain range is very large, stretching for a distance of fifty kilometers deep. It can only be entered and exited by a secret and dangerous passage. The rest of the place is an abyss of cliffs of unknown depth. No wonder the War Clan’s guards responded so slowly to his attack on the mountain.
Outside the mountains is the outermost edge of their territory.
The Undead Reconnaissance Team moved away from that road and walked at the limit of Wei Huan's summoning distance, avoiding radar scans of possible vehicles, and finally arrived at their destination after dark.
It was very conspicuous that the other party had erected a huge blue protective shield in a valley, completely covering the valley.
There was little snow on the mountains in the valley, and closer to the ground, one could even see some green plants. Wei Huan remembered that the climate in the valley was good, and it was one of the few places in the world where plants could be seen.
The target is just ahead, but the shield is tricky.
After all, it is the headquarters of a faction, so it is not surprising that it has a level five vehicle or even a level six protective shield.
The protective shield can effectively resist the invasion of extreme temperatures, and most importantly, it can block the attacks of monsters in the challenging world. Of course, it also has the ability to alert and attack enemy vehicles.
In short, Wei Huan’s reconnaissance ended here. His undead could not enter the protective shield. Once they touched the opponent’s defense device, they would be regarded as invaders and killed, and their existence would be exposed.
How to play?
Wei Huan was rarely a little confused.
Because he does not have the power, he has no legitimate reason to do so.
He also didn't want to take some unnecessary lives during the assault, as people like Aunt Peng were indeed pitiful.
Therefore, the core of this battle should be to capture the leader first. As long as the core of the war clan is disintegrated, the siege four years later will be avoided in advance.
This should be a "special battle" that Wei Huan has never fought before, involving investigation, lurking, advancing and beheading behind enemy lines.
"Do we have anyone with special operations experience on board? Call them over."
Wei Huan said this to Xu Qingqiang, who pointed at his nose and said, "Ah? I'm going? What do I know?"
Wei Huan: “…”
Now that the logistics management on the vehicle is gone, a group of fighters can still operate normally, purely because they have been out for a short time and Wei Huan has a high prestige.
Logistics may seem simple, but you will find how important it is when you need it.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang looked at each other for a few seconds. Finally, the AI butler said, "Captain, I have the crew's detailed information here. I can help you call the qualified crew members to report. Where would you like to meet them?"
"Let's do it here," Wei Huan said, adding, "Let's find a safe place to stop. We'll spend the night here, and maintain maximum power scanning."
"Okay, Captain."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the cab, and a group of crew members wearing the combat uniforms of the Qinglong Legion came in, stood in front of Wei Huan and saluted.
Wei Huan looked and asked, "Are they all here?"
"Do you all have special combat experience?" Wei Huan asked.
One of the crew members, who looked resolute, stepped forward as a representative and answered with a resounding voice, "Yes, I'm an instructor from the Special Forces Battalion of the 123rd Brigade of the Qinglong Corps. My name is Xing Fei. Most of them are from the same battalion as me. Commander, please give us your instructions!"
"Hello, Instructor Xing. I really need your skills right now. We're about to conduct a very typical special operations battle, and I really need your advice."
Instructor Xing, who had been given an important task, had his eyes shining and said in a loud voice, "I am happy to serve you, Captain!"
"Sit down." Wei Huan nodded.
The night was long, and Wei Huan, Xu Qingqiang, Instructor Xing, and Staff Officer Liu whom he recommended, started an emergency combat meeting.
If Wei Huan used the Undead Scourge to bomb the War Clan headquarters, it would seem to be a very inhumane and cruel act at the moment.
But if we use special operations instead, the problem will be solved. Everyone will understand and be willing to serve.
Of course, as professional soldiers, if Wei Huan gave the order to massacre the War Clan headquarters, everyone in the car would certainly carry out the order unswervingly.
However, this inhumane order will bring endless pain to everyone.
Right now, this is the best option.
Everyone spoke actively and made continuous calculations based on the current intelligence. Before dawn, an extraordinary action plan was put forward.
Wei Huan read the plan again and nodded: "Okay, let's act according to this plan."
Wei Huan didn't go back on the first day. Mu Zhong contacted Wei Huan through the "Heart of Steel" and learned about Wei Huan's current actions. He was puzzled: "Is that the Zhan Clan's base? How did you know there would be people inside?"
Wei Huan thought about the lie he had told and felt a little panicked: "Let me take a look at the information I collected unexpectedly."
Mu Zhong didn't seem to doubt it, but said worriedly: "Be careful, this is a level 4 world after all. Should we ask the Azure Dragon City Lord to send reinforcements?"
Wei Huan said: "It's just an investigation. We need to fight first."
"Okay, be sure to be careful and cautious. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Um."
The next day, Wei Huan still didn't go back.
Mu Zhong sent a video message: "Is there no progress in the investigation?"
Wei Huan said: "Still waiting for the opportunity."
Mu Zhong frowned and hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
On the third day, Wei Huan still didn't come back.
This time, Mu Zhong's expression wasn't very good. They had never been apart for so long before. Mu Zhong held his forehead and smiled shyly, "I feel like a young man in love. I miss you already. I didn't sleep well last night."
Wei Huan said, "I'll be back soon. If you can't sleep at night, you can video message me. I'm always here."
"I know, but you're not around."
Wei Huan looked into Mu Zhong's eyes and found that he also had moments of romantic feelings. When Mu Zhong said this, he just wanted to hug him.
Finally, on the fourth day, the "right time and right place" they had been waiting for arrived.
A group of snow beasts are gathering in the snowy mountains.
These days, the War Clan base will also send people out to clean up the stray snow beasts to delay the possibility of them gathering into a beast tide.
However, most of the time Wei Huan would be ahead of them, collecting the snow beasts in advance, and then using the puppy-headed people's teleportation ability to place them deep in the mountains where they could not patrol. He would only move them away but not kill them.
That’s right, Wei Huan was creating a large-scale beast tide.
Unknowingly, deep in the mountains, a powerful force has accumulated, waiting to erupt.
Monsters in the fourth-level world all live in groups. Even a small silver treasure chest will have a hundred or so snow beasts jump out, so it is very easy to gather tens of thousands of snow beasts and form a beast tide.
In the mercenary guild of the big city, there is a long-term task of "clearing snow beasts". Killing a snow beast can earn 1 point. The purpose is to slow down the outbreak of the beast tide, especially to prevent the occurrence of a large-scale beast tide.
The gathering of too many snow beasts will lead to the birth of general-level and king-level snow beasts in the challenge world. The appearance of high-level snow beasts will also form a "large beast tide" and a "super-large beast tide".
Big cities like Qinglong City have the ability to deal with "super-large beast tides".
Wei Huan didn't know whether the War Clan could cope with the "super-large beast tide", but he knew that the War Clan would definitely not be able to cope with the "super-large beast tide with added ingredients".
This idea was provided by the Zhan Clan. In the previous life, the Zhan Clan drove a large number of summoned beasts to follow the beast tide and destroy the Xuanwu City.
At that time, humans also entered the fifth-level world and made a full sprint to the sixth-level world. All the masters went to the front.
Most of those who remained in the fourth-level world were ordinary challengers of the third and fourth levels like Wei Huan, so they were unable to stop the War Clan from attacking the city, resulting in more than 60,000 casualties.
Although I don’t know what grudges the Zhan Clan and Xuanwu City have, they deserve to die for killing each other and killing so many people.
Wei Huan had a deep memory of the face of the core member of the War Clan who appeared on the wanted poster.
This time, he won't let any of them go.
As he was thinking this, the snow beasts finally gathered in sufficient numbers, and a larger bear-shaped snow beast appeared among them. It was over five meters long and obviously stronger. Its fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth, interlaced like crocodile teeth, each half a meter long and extremely terrifying.
Usually, for every 10,000 snow beasts gathered, a beast general would appear. Not only would his combat power be stronger, but the appearance of the beast general would also enhance the combat power of the beast tide.
But such a group of beasts with only beast generals is obviously not enough.
If someone could scan the mountains stretching for hundreds of miles at this time, they would find that there were more than ten groups of such beasts.
They kept a distance from each other that was not too far, but not too close to each other, and Wei Huan used the characteristics of the puppy people to gather them together again and again.
Four days, almost the limit.
When the beast general appeared, the beast groups were further stimulated. When the number of each group reached about 12,000, these beast groups began to blend and slowly converge.
Then, as if drawn by fate, they began to move towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.
In terms of number of people, there are of course more people in the War Clan headquarters.
The ground area of the valley built by the Zhan clan headquarters is about 100 hectares, but this is only the area of the valley, not the area owned by the Zhan clan.
The Zhan clan also built several floors underground, where no less than 50,000 people live.
People from all over the world of Blue Star, regardless of skin color and race, criminals who escaped from prison, drug addicts on the street, fugitives wanted by the police, they seemed to be able to smell the stench on each other, and finally gathered here.
Such a large number of people, like a fragrant dish, attracted the beast tide from a distance and kept converging in this direction.
During this process, the number of beasts continued to increase until it reached hundreds of thousands. Suddenly, a unicorn appeared from the beast tide. It was ten meters long, snow-white, and had a two-meter horn on its head.
As soon as it appeared, all the snow beasts seemed to be greatly encouraged and became excited at the same time. Their bodies swelled up, their eyes bulged, their hair expanded, and their fangs and sharp teeth were exposed.
"The king level has come out." Wei Huan saw this scene through the Lord of the Demon Eye.
When he said this, the unicorn royal family seemed to have noticed Wei Huan's presence and actually looked up at the location of the Lord of the Demon Eye.
But after all, Wei Huan is just a mere person, and is far less attractive than the War Clan Headquarters. The order from the Challenge World is deeply implanted into the brains of every monster like a program.
Then, this beautiful yet ferocious unicorn king raised its front hooves and let out a roar.
The beast tide was like a giant wheel, rolling up the snow and fog, heading straight towards the valley.
"Ready."
Wei Huan ordered the people who were about to carry out the mission to wait.
At the same time, countless facehuggers wrapped the puppy-headed people in their mouths, hid in the middle of the beast tide, and headed towards the valley.
As an enemy, the Facehuggers also attracted the attacks of the Snow Beasts, but after the general attack order was issued, they had only one target.
The face hugger follows among them, and they will not attack the face hugger as long as they do not attack actively.
Of course, if the facehugger fails to dodge in time, it is common for it to be crushed by a foot.
However, the facehugger, which is completely white with only six green spots on its back, blends in surprisingly well with the beast tide.
If you don't look carefully, no one will notice anything unusual.
Naturally, the guards of the War Clan will not be able to do so either.
In the past few days, the number of snow beasts spawning around the headquarters has been less than usual, which has attracted the attention of the War Clan to some extent.
Humans have been dealing with beast tides for a long time and are well aware of the circumstances under which a larger beast tide will occur.
It's just that they reacted a little slowly.
We had originally planned to go out of the city today and search further to investigate where the beast tide was gathering.
But as soon as the reconnaissance team went out, they were stunned by the blizzard blowing towards them. When they looked out, they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.
"The beast tide is coming! The beast tide is coming!"
"At least it's a large-scale beast tide. Quickly notify the Holy Lord!"
"All departments in place, weapons in place, ready to fight!"
Inside the blue shield, there are low houses. In comparison, the city wall is unexpectedly tall and thick.
Furthermore, the War Clan base was constructed with a maze-like wall structure, with three layers of walls running from high to low, creating a complex entry route. If invaders concentrated their attacks on one point, they would be stopped by the three layers of walls, requiring a massive force to bring down a single wall.
Of course, if you run around in the city walls and get stuck in the maze, there will also be a lot of deaths.
Sirens blared above the base, and a large number of tanks drove out from the small houses.
It turns out that these low houses all have elevators that go directly underground.
The War Clan lives underground, and a chariot is a house. If they just live together, it is not difficult to build a city.
The difficulty is that if too many people gather, it will trigger a beast tide. Without the protection of strong people, ordinary people will not be able to resist it at all.
Therefore, after using a large amount of points to build city walls and purchase weapons, organizations like these that do not have sufficient funds can only mobilize the entire army and join forces to resist the incoming beast tide.
Wei Huan's Demon Eye Lord flew above the beast tide and was the first to see the entire picture of the base on the ground.
He also watched the siege of this king-level beast tide from a high vantage point.
