Do not underestimate the power of such battle formations. They represent hundreds of years of accumulation and inheritance among military warriors. As long as the enemy they face does not reach the level of a king or marquis, they can play an extremely important role.
Shen Qian had also tried, but even with his full power, he couldn't break through the battle formation's defenses in a short time.
If they perform well, these three thousand people are enough to fight against dozens of martial artists at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm.
After Dao Jiu left to carry out his orders, Shen Qian directly communicated with his clone in the restricted area, instructing the clone to also head to the designated mission location and rendezvous with him as a final safeguard.
After arranging everything and making sure there were no oversights, Chen Qian glanced at the time, returned to his room, and began his daily "homework"... a video chat with Ding Yi.
Ding Yi also entered the South China War Zone and served as the deputy captain of a patrol team. If you include the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden within her, she is fully qualified to directly serve as the captain, but she doesn't seem willing to reveal too much of her strength.
During this period, their relationship seemed to have returned to the time before the college entrance examination. They communicated regularly every day, and Shen Qian cherished these beautiful moments.
In times of chaos, no one knows how long these days can last...
Of course, this doesn't stop Shen Qian from chatting with Jiang Xuan via text while video calling Ding Yi, or from sending a few modern jokes to his eighth senior sister.
With his current mental strength, multitasking is a piece of cake for him!
...
As dusk fell, the already dimly lit forbidden zone gradually lost its last glimmer of light, and the outline of darkness slowly swallowed the earth, with only the swirling sand visible in the occasional flashes of lightning.
"Depend on!"
With a low curse, spotlights suddenly shone from a place that could barely be called a "road," and the roar of an engine broke the silence. A large armored vehicle, which appeared to be a military-modified vehicle, came into view.
However, the armored vehicle with the red cross symbol on its side seemed to be stuck in some kind of mud, and after shaking a few times, it went silent.
"I told the dean a long time ago that the car's engine was too old, but he insisted that I make do with it, and of all times, it broke down at a time like this..."
The faint light of a flashlight shone through, and a middle-aged man in protective clothing stepped out of the driver's seat of the armored vehicle. Braving the blowing sand, he walked to the side of the armored vehicle, cursing as he carried repair tools. He was about to lie down when he suddenly hesitated.
He unconsciously turned around and glanced at the deep darkness around him, feeling as if unspeakable dangers lurked everywhere on this decaying land, and he couldn't help but tremble.
As an ordinary driver who had never set foot in the forbidden zone in the first half of his life, he was fine when he was with the group for the first few trips, but now that he was alone, he suddenly felt a kind of fear.
Just as the driver was hesitating about whether to return to the cab and wait for rescue, the armored vehicle's hatch was suddenly pulled open, and orange lights shone through, revealing several figures peeking out with concern.
"Master Wang, can the car still be repaired? Do you need our help?"
"Why don't you come and take shelter in the vehicle for a while? We've already contacted the teacher in charge, and the rescue will definitely arrive soon."
Although the people gathered in front of the car door were wearing full protective suits, their youth and vitality could still be seen through the transparent glass masks.
Each of them wore a grass-shaped badge on their chest, signifying that they were young volunteers who had set off with rescue teams from various hospitals in the mountain city.
All the ambulances were originally escorted by the military and set off together from the mountain city, but they encountered a severe sandstorm en route.
This rare sandstorm threw the entire force into chaos. Their armored vehicle veered off the main road. Although there were no casualties, the vehicle broke down and they were stranded. After an hour had passed and no one had come to their aid, Master Wang had no choice but to try to repair the vehicle.
According to the guidelines in the manual, restricted areas are more dangerous at night and should not be lingered in for long.
"Hey, it's okay, you guys just stay put, I can handle this by myself..."
Upon hearing this, Master Wang instinctively straightened his back, trying to project an image of "I can do it."
Because he knew that these young people in the car were also volunteers in the medical team due to the severe shortage of manpower in the mountain city, and they also had little experience with the restricted area, and were exceptionally young, he naturally felt a sense of responsibility and felt that he could not let these young people also panic.
"Master Wang, come in. It's alright, someone will come."
At that moment, a young girl sitting in the carriage suddenly smiled, and the originally dim carriage seemed to become brighter because of that smile.
Master Wang didn't dare to look too long. Hearing the girl's gentle voice, he felt inexplicably calmer. He scratched his head and inexplicably stopped insisting and entered the cabin.
Besides Mr. Wang, there were six other volunteers in protective suits inside the vehicle, as well as several rows of empty stretchers and a large number of first aid supplies piled up in the corner.
As the cabin door closed, shutting out the raging sandstorm and potentially heavily polluted air once again, the young people inside breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily removed their masks.
Sitting in the corner, Master Wang couldn't resist stealing a glance at the girl who had spoken earlier.
After the mask was removed, the girl's face was fully revealed under the light. She had a classic oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and striking features that combined both strength and gentleness. Her large eyes seemed to hold starlight, shining brightly...
This girl is so pretty, just like a big star!
