Chapter 187 Brickyard Mission
"When will this awful weather end? I miss the days when the wind was howling at the cold wind. At least it wasn't so hot that I couldn't breathe and was afraid to go out." One person sighed.
"Who said it wasn't? I used to think it was cold, but now I regret not being colder. I don't even dare to step on the ground outside. It's too damn hot."
The complaints went on and on, and the leading man said lightly, "Save your energy, eat and go to bed early, we have a mission tomorrow. Leave two more people to guard the night, it's not safe here."
"Boss, I heard something strange is going on at the brick factory. None of the teams that went there before have returned. Should we find two more teams to cooperate with us?"
The eldest brother raised his eyelids and said, "Let's go and take a look tomorrow."
Everyone shut up, ate and rested.
The big team heard no useful news and continued to sleep.
The next morning, the team in the shabby house left at daybreak. The larger group, having eaten and drunk their fill, packed up their villa and followed suit, heading towards the brick factory.
The moment I step outside, I gasp for air as the oncoming heat wave burns like a charcoal fire. Even in this kind of weather, even if it's scorching hot, I still have to wear long shirts and long pants to cover all exposed skin, otherwise I'll get sunburned in a matter of minutes.
The poor furry kids have no desire to live. Their fur is draped over their bodies like a thick cotton-padded jacket, but they cannot be shaved off because they are prone to sunburn.
He was panting with every step, and the smell of barbecue could be smelled from his feet. He was in tears as soon as he went out.
From then on, Fat Rat refused to walk on his own and instead asked his master to carry him. He imitated the Ice Toad and placed ice cubes in his pockets, which allowed him to get by. Miaomiao was also incredibly strong. Fat Rat weighed over ten pounds, plus over ten pounds of ice. It would have been difficult for anyone to carry all the gear from morning till night in such weather. Ding Jiajia was useless. After carrying Miaomiao's essential belongings, he couldn't afford to do anything else. As expected, men are unreliable.
The fat rat has been found, but the general is in a bad mood. It is so big that Lan Shiruo can't carry it on his back. Its fur doesn't want to be cut short, and the kid is also stubborn and doesn't want to enter the space. So I had to make four special shoes for it. It should be fine after adapting for a while.
Uncle Eagle was flying in the air, and there was a little wind, which made him feel a little better.
The other contract partners all stayed on their own masters. They had the advantage of being small, and with the ice, they were not very uncomfortable.
Little Lebao, wearing a loose jumpsuit and a small hat, walked in front of the four great kings with his hands behind his back, striding with his short legs and walking seriously. His little face was red, and he didn't complain of being tired at all. With the four great kings protecting him on both sides, he looked so cool.
The little guy now refuses to be carried in the back, especially refuses to be swapped with the dummy, and keeps saying that he is an adult.
Seeing their son is so sensible, his parents can only support him. Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain, and little Lebao should grow up in the wind and rain so that he can be fearless of the world.
Everyone carried mosquito repellent bags and heat-removing ice patches. Guo Zi's products are high-quality. The ice patches are easy to use, affordable, and considerate, making them a must-have in hot summer weather.
The country road was impassable for vehicles, so the large team walked to the brick and tile factory that the group of people mentioned last night. Bricks and tiles are also materials, which are indispensable for building walls and houses, so they naturally could not be missed when they came across them.
He Lian's hearing has greatly improved. She can hear more delicate sounds and sounds from farther away. More importantly, she can control it independently and automatically block out noise when encountering it, so as not to deafen herself.
"A mile away, there are over thirty people, two teams, and they haven't started yet, surveying the terrain."
Lan Shiruo nodded, "Let's go slowly, there's no rush."
When the large group arrived, the two teams had just finished their survey and were discussing how to get in.
The brick and tile factory is very large, with finished bricks and tiles piled up everywhere. The quality is good, but inexplicably, in such hot weather, a sense of gloom can be felt from inside.
Many teams had come to complete missions before, not taking this eerie atmosphere seriously. The results were predictable: few ever returned. Later generations learned their lesson and stopped venturing in rashly.
The two teams were very happy to see the large group, as they were worried that there were too few people.
"Hello everyone, are you here to complete the mission as well?"
Lan Shiruo nodded.
The two teams were even more delighted. The tall, thin man stepped forward and said, "I am Jin Guangzong, the captain of the Out-of-Dust Team, and this is Quan Daji, the captain of the Mancang Team. We are both affiliated with the Mingzhou A City Security Base. May I know who you are?"
Ao Chengyi opened his eyelids and said, "Ao Chengyi of the Dragon and Phoenix Team, affiliated with Shicheng."
Jin Guangzong raised his eyebrows and joked, "Your team name is quite easy to understand, not bad."
My friend rolled his eyes. They just called their team name vulgar. Humph, that's because you haven't seen how majestic our dragon and phoenix are. The dragon and phoenix transformed by the third-level water and fire abilities are even more majestic.
Quan Daji, a man of few words, asked a question, "Where is Shicheng?"
There were many famous safe bases, and bored people had even ranked them. City N, City W, and City Y were all on the list. Shicheng wasn't on the list, and had never even appeared in anyone's mouth or ears.
Don’t worry, my friends. One day, Shicheng will take the top spot.
"Qinzhou City D."
Qinzhou? Jin and Quan thought for a moment. Qinzhou had three cities on the list, and the others were just minor riots that weren't worth worrying about.
"Oh, so it's City D. I've heard a lot about you." Jin Guangzong spoke the polite words without feeling embarrassed at all.
The little friend looked at him strangely and didn't respond.
Jin Guangzong was not annoyed, and continued to smile good-temperedly, "I wonder if you have heard of the strangeness of this place?"
The social fox came online and said, "I've heard a little about you, but I don't know the details. Could you please enlighten me?" The fox's perfect smile gave people the illusion of humility and politeness, and Jin and Quan were very satisfied.
Jin Guangzong said, "Nowadays, all bases are undergoing large-scale construction and improvement. The demand for bricks and tiles is huge, but due to various factors, the output is very low. Therefore, searching for finished bricks and tiles has become a long-term task. The task is not difficult and the rewards are considerable. Many people will take it. This place has been visited by many people. But so far, no one has taken away a single brick or tile. The reason is that there are powerful mutated beasts here. Due to mutation, they have abandoned their gentleness and failed to develop intelligence. Only ferocity remains. They are very bloodthirsty and extremely ferocious. According to previous survivors, the mutated beasts are a group of bats, and their number is unpredictable. Once humans step into the factory area, they will be attacked. In addition to close-range attacks, they will also hide in the dark and use supernatural powers to launch sneak attacks. The specific supernatural power is unknown, but it is speculated to be mental power. In addition, there is a high-level mutated beast in command, which is very difficult to deal with."
My friend was surprised. How powerful must the mutant beast team be to make so many people return empty-handed?
Lu Chaoyang smiled gratefully, "Thank you very much. I wonder what your plans are next?"
Jin Guangzong said, "Nowadays, the teams that come here to complete the missions are all working together. Our two teams are out of time and haven't found any other teams. We are worried that we are too few in number and our chances of winning are low, so I would like to invite you to join us. I wonder if you are willing."
Lu Chaoyang looked at Lan Shiruo, who nodded slightly. Lu Chaoyang then replied, "Of course I'm willing. I wonder how we should distribute it when the time comes."
