Chapter 384 Going West
On the second day after the Longfeng City mission team set out, the Longfeng team also set out again.
They were going to go to each sphere of influence, gather all the lone mutant beasts, and raise them in the forest inland of Longfeng City. There was a forest planted by Longfeng City specifically for the mutant beasts. It circled the entire city wall and was also a line of defense for Longfeng City.
You don't feel it within the Longfeng City, but once you leave the city, the wind and sand are so strong that you can't even open your eyes. In just a few breaths, your whole body is covered in yellow sand. You can imagine how serious the desertification is.
The mountain bike modified by Guo Zi was shaking on the bumpy road, and the wipers were swinging left and right annoyedly, making a creaking sound. Fortunately, there was no traffic control now, otherwise in such weather, he would have to stay at home.
Inside the car, the children have grown up. The once hungry little Lebao is now a five-year-old, his cheeks still white and tender, soft and adorable. Occasionally, he'll run into his mother's arms and act like a spoiled brat, but most of the time, he's working out with his father. Now, he's a real little man. Aside from the baby fat that adds to his youthful appearance, he's increasingly resembling his father, like a cartoon version of them cut from the same mold.
The four little brats have grown into teenagers, and over the years, they have been running around with the big team, becoming mature, stable, reserved and sensible. They have not been destroyed by reality and become little villains or cowards, but are still righteous young people with little sunshine in their hearts.
The animals and their masters have a better understanding of each other, and their strength is growing steadily.
Time has left no traces on the faces of the little friends. I don’t know if it’s because they are all superpowered, or maybe it’s because they eat better than others. Compared with their peers, although they are also superpowered, they look older and haggard than them no matter how others look at them. Life is so helpless.
But the baptism and precipitation of time have allowed everyone to reap rich rewards and gain more mature charm.
There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road. Occasionally, you would pass by some small towns and villages, all of which were in ruins. Sometimes you would come across skeletons, buried by sand and then blown open by the wind, revealing a corner, which inexplicably made people feel sad.
Many roads were damaged and impassable. Satellites were destroyed, so the team couldn't survey a large area, so they took many detours and took many detours. Fortunately, the weather was so cold that even mutants and zombies were rare, so the journey was smooth.
After walking for about a month, we arrived safely in the western area.
There are many mountains in the west, and there are more mutant beasts here than in other places, so the Dragon and Phoenix Team set their first stop here.
At the beginning of the establishment of the forces, not just the western forces, all forces were in a similar situation, and their defenses were not very strict. After all, there were many forces in this area who needed to gain a foothold. The division of territory, the integration of resources, the introduction and expulsion of manpower, all required time to adjust and plan the competition. Unlike the south, where the entire dragon and phoenix team was in power, they only needed to plan how to build.
In the western mountainous area, the various factions were busy vying for annexation. The terrain of the western mountainous area was complex, and human, material, and mental resources were limited, so many areas could not be taken care of. Therefore, it was easy for the Dragon and Phoenix Team to sneak in.
It just so happened that they encountered two forces as soon as they arrived. At the beginning, the division of territory was not clear, and now they are arguing and fighting, and the scene is very intense.
Taking advantage of the chaos and yellow sand, the Dragon and Phoenix Team easily sneaked into the territory of influence and headed to where the mutant beasts might be hiding.
There are many mountain ranges in the west. Although these forces occupy several mountaintops, the places they set foot on are only flat and spacious land. Occupying more mountaintops also gives them more choices. Many other places are blind spots, which are just suitable for mutant beasts to live in seclusion.
The reclusive mutant beasts occasionally go out hunting and are also hunted by humans as prey, but most of the time they hide. After all, after the mutation, their intelligence has improved and they no longer live solely on instinct. They know how to avoid danger and use everything they can to survive.
The large group traveled through the mountains and forests every day, trying to avoid crowded areas, keeping a low profile and avoiding trouble. If you were to accidentally run into someone head-on, don't worry; in the windy and sandy weather with visibility less than five meters, it's easy to avoid.
Retrieving the mutants went smoothly. Most mutants rely on smell and hearing to detect danger, but in the wind and sand, both of these abilities are greatly diminished. Furthermore, the Dragon and Phoenix team is powerful and quiet, so even if they get behind a mutant, they're hard to detect. Therefore, most of the time, they're captured before the mutants react.
Even if some of them were alert, they were still not enough to be dealt with by the large team of more than 20 beastmen. After beating them up, they were still taken away.
For a whole month, the Dragon and Phoenix Team had a rich harvest, saving many lives. If the mutant beasts they had taken away had continued to stay here, they would have died sooner or later. After entering the space, the mutant beasts also understood this truth and were grateful to the Dragon and Phoenix Team.
After nightfall, the Dragon and Phoenix Team found a secluded place and set up a villa. Vines were used as an illusion camouflage so they didn't have to worry about being discovered. After washing off the yellow sand that had been stuck on them during the day, a group of humans and beasts sat together to eat, drink, and rest.
After eating, drinking and resting, I still have to go to the space to farm for two hours before I can go to sleep.
It’s the same rhythm every day. After getting used to it, I don’t feel tired anymore.
Just in case, sleeping was not in the room.
That night, after everyone fell asleep, they were awakened by the sounds of fighting.
At the foot of the mountain where the large team is located is a flat and wide terrain, which is also a gathering place for forces.
They were up there, able to see everything below at a glance, but those below seldom came up, and could see even less clearly, even without the wind and sand.
The sounds of fighting came from the gathering place of the forces below. Judging from the various shouts, it seemed like they were being ambushed.
There was more than one force that launched the sneak attack, they must have been tricked by the coalition.
He Lian tilted her ears, carefully distinguishing the voices in the crowd, and squinted her eyes slightly, "There's someone I know in there, Wang Xifa."
Oh, the Dragon and Phoenix Team remembers it. It was the man in power in City O who gave them the cotton, linen, and silkworm seeds. Unexpectedly, we ran into him here by chance. "It was his team that was ambushed?"
He Lian nodded. "They should be. They've been ambushed several times, and this time they seem to be unable to hold on any longer. They're trying to evacuate the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children in the team. However, it's difficult. Besides the steep slope we're on, there are people on the other three sides. They came prepared and are determined to kill Wang Xifa."
"Wang Xifa is a pretty good guy," Zhang Yun said. "Shiruo, should we go take a look?"
Apart from being a bit stingy, Wang Xifa is quite good in other aspects. He values loyalty, has a bottom line, is filial and responsible, and will not abandon his wife for the prosperity of the outside world.
The old couple of the Wang family are also very nice, honest people. The ducks in the space were provided by them, and now they have become a huge flock.
Lan Shiruo curled her lips and said, "Let's go and take a look. He's an acquaintance after all." They need acquaintances in Longfeng City.
The little friend smiled, well, this is the smile that needs to be put back into his own nest.
Ao Chengyi packed up the villa, and the Dragon and Phoenix team put on sand-proof clothing and slowly headed to the foot of the mountain. There was no need to rush, as they would not die in a short time, and it would also give those with other ambitions time to choose a new team.
