I was the first to spot people, and "Bang!" I blew one of their heads off with a single shot, and the battle began.
On our side, Yu Li and Meng Jin's marksmanship is average, but the other side can't gain an advantage because they have the Machine Eagle.
While I was fighting, I controlled the mechanical eagle gang to attack Yu Li and Meng Jin, and screams kept coming from their side.
Less than an hour into the battle, they had lost half their men.
"Retreat!" the other side shouted, and then they all began to retreat.
We did not pursue them; instead, we regrouped.
Peng Jun laughed and said, "Well done! I reckon there will be even more of them if they come again. We need to change locations and go to the north of the empty city. People from the other countries should have arrived by now."
"yes!"
All we had left were food, ammunition, and sleeping bags. We carried everything we could on our backs, and had Wangcai carry the rest.
Being close to the Arctic Circle, we could still see some greenery on the mountain at first, but it got colder and colder as we went further.
Finally, all that remained was a vast expanse of white.
We didn't stop until evening and found a place to rest.
I looked at the map and realized we weren't far from the special area we were going to, but we still hadn't seen a single person from other countries.
"Master! Something's not right. We haven't seen anyone for so long."
Blackie: "Is it possible that people from other countries went to the ghost town?"
Mei Guo, Yang Ben, and Fa Guo all have dealings with the people of Kongcheng.
Peng Jun nodded: "That's right! It seems we'll be sleeping in the wild."
Great-aunt: "I don't believe they won't come. It's not a special location in an empty city."
"Zheng Yang! Can you detect if there's radiation here?"
I almost forgot, they don't use individual soldier terminals:
"I'll teach you how to use the individual soldier terminal. It has detection and scanning functions..."
We dug a snow cave, and inside, I taught them how to use the individual terminal. Then everyone took out their food to stave off hunger.
After finishing the meal, Peng Jun said, "Don't worry too much about the radiation. Once we get to that place, we won't even need to wear protective suits."
I'll show you a video.
Peng Jun took out a USB drive, which I plugged into the computer and then projected onto the floor.
Um?
The environment in the video wasn't a snowy wonderland, but rather a patch of yellow earth where dust blew everywhere when the wind blew.
With its ruins and machine wreckage, it has the feel of a post-apocalyptic movie.
"Master! When was this filmed?"
It's summer now, but this place is still covered in snow and ice. Why does it look so hot inside?
"This place was just discovered, and I don't know how the video was obtained."
But the most valuable thing here isn't just the wreckage of those machines, but the place itself. We need to investigate thoroughly to find out why this place is different from other places.
The video did not show any wall coverings, which means that this place is indeed very unusual.
"Also, this mission must be kept strictly confidential. Even if you take photos, you are not allowed to send them to anyone else."
The mission is complete; all materials here must be submitted.
Everyone was a reasonable person, and they all nodded.
At that moment, the robotic eagle alerted me.
I made a shushing gesture, then turned off the computer and slowly crept out.
"There are eight people in total, and they are approaching this way."
"Zheng Yang, go out and see who it is. If it's the same group from Kongcheng, we'll give them another beating."
Anyway, Peng Jun wouldn't hide and stay away; he'd fight the enemy if he encountered one.
I nodded and went outside, and soon I realized that the city wasn't deserted.
Using the night vision function of the robotic eagle, I saw the national emblem of Goose Country on their uniforms.
I stood up when they got closer.
Who is it?
"Don't be nervous, I am Zheng Yang from the Great Xia Dynasty."
"People from Great Xia?" the leader said, then ordered his men to put down their guns.
Are you alone?
I was wondering, apart from the empty city, Goose Country is the closest to here, so how come they just arrived?
"Why are you so late?"
"Oh? Oh! We've been taking a while to select members for the exploration team. We still need to make some preparations."
Really? The people of Goose Country don't have a rapid reaction force?
Besides, how many people in a country can carry out this kind of mission? Why bother selecting them?
"Your country didn't just send yourself, did it?" asked the goose country, glancing around.
What's the meaning of being so concerned about how many of us came?
"I came here first to scout ahead; our people will arrive later."
Hearing me say that, the group of people visibly cheered up.
One of them pointed to the mechanical eagle in the sky and asked, "Is that yours too?"
"That's right!"
"Oh! Then you can stay with us tonight! That way you can look out for each other."
"Okay?" I said, then turned and walked forward. "I dug a snow cave up ahead. It's big enough for all of you to go in."
"puff!"
A man holding a dagger stopped behind me. Everyone stared wide-eyed as a tree branch pierced through his chest and emerged from his back.
The man looked down at his chest, then at me.
I turned around: "You forgot something, there's my mechanical eagle in the sky. You think you can ambush me like that?"
"Kill him!"
Just as the remaining men raised their guns, the branch snapped in two with a "crack," sending countless wood fibers flying towards them.
"Hiss..."
Those people didn't even have time to fire their guns, or even to scream.
The shattered branches splattered all over their faces and pierced through their heads.
This is the power of my current force field at full power; it can allow wood fibers to penetrate a person's skull, or even penetrate two skulls at once.
