As the convoy approached Lestru, some buildings came into view.
However, compared with the prosperous Wujiang City, the city here gave Chen Chu a backward feeling of the 1980s, with dusty roads and dilapidated buildings.
There are only a few tall buildings in the city center, and the rest are one- or two-story houses. The slightly better buildings are just three- or four-story red brick buildings.
It was already dark when he entered the city. Chen Chu noticed that there were almost no people on the streets, and occasionally a few figures would quickly disappear into the dim alleys.
In addition, there were only a few street lights on the gray road, and there was only one light bulb emitting a yellowish light at a long distance.
Chen Chu was a little surprised: "Isn't it 2055? Why is Keluoya so shabby?"
Although the progress of civilian science and technology in this world has slowed down due to the rise of martial arts, it has become more advanced in the fields of biomedicine and weapons research and development.
In addition, Internet technology has also been gradually booming in recent years. For example, QR codes and micro-chat software similar to WeChat have gradually occupied the market.
At the same time, online merchants and e-commerce are also on the rise, and it seems that a prosperous era is about to come. They are completely two different worlds compared to the backwardness here.
In response to Chen Chu's doubts, Xia Youhui shrugged: "This is normal. The development of economy and civilization involves many factors, such as the local environment."
“And the rulers of Chachakoroja don’t want development here.”
Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "In order to consolidate the rule."
Xia Youhui nodded: "Yes, when the Federation was established, backward third world countries like Koroya were feudal."
"In order to consolidate their own rule, the top leaders of Koroya have blocked the channels for Zhenwu to spread in recent years. At the same time, the development of the Internet and technology is also very backward."
"Especially some high-tech products, which are basically only available to the rich."
"Of course, another reason is that there are very few cracks here, resulting in a poor training environment. That's why it has remained unchanged for decades, and the Federation is too lazy to pay attention to it."
"After all, the first law that allowed the formation of the Federation was that the human camp was an alliance, but it could not interfere in the internal affairs of other allied countries unless it affected the Federation."
While the two were chatting, the convoy entered the military base in the central area of the city under some secretive gazes.
It's a relatively prosperous place, with high-rise buildings of more than ten or twenty floors rising one after another. The streets are spacious and clean, and there are advertisements and pictures of local celebrities hanging everywhere.
The armored vehicle leading the way separated from Chen Chu and his group at an intersection. The two troop carriers and the car the teacher was sitting in continued to move forward and finally stopped outside a hotel.
There were already some people in military uniforms standing on the steps of the hotel.
Seeing Pang Long and the other two getting off the car, the middle-aged man who was the major general in the lead laughed and walked away: "Everyone has worked hard along the way."
Pang Long and the other two hurriedly said politely: "Hello General Hong, it's not hard, this is what we should do."
"It's a pity that we didn't catch any big fish this time. We only had a team of ordinary fanatics leading us to explore."
"It's okay. Killing one team means weakening them. From now on, we just need to follow the plan and we don't need to worry about it for now."
At this time, Chen Chu and others also got off the car. The freshmen, wearing black and red armor and carrying various large cold weapons, stood together, which was still very spectacular.
"Let's go in and have dinner first. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
"Everyone must be hungry after sitting on the plane for such a long time and going through a battle ahead."
"Okay." Led by three teachers, Chen Chu and other students entered the hotel.
However, the teachers were in charge of everything related to the military reception, and students like Chen Chu were only responsible for eating and drinking. After they had eaten and drunk enough, the staff took everyone upstairs.
Because there would be students from other schools arriving soon, the military arranged for two people to share a room. In this case, Chen Chu naturally chose to live with Xia Youhui.
Eighteenth floor, hotel room 1808.
"I can finally take a break." Xia Youhui placed the shield against the wall, which made a dull thud when it landed on the ground, and then he threw the gift backpack directly on the ground.
"Achu, do you want to take a shower first or should I?"
"It will be all right."
"Okay then, I'll go take a shower first, and it'll be your turn later."
When Xia Youhui went to take a shower, Chen Chu also took off his armor. This was a safe area controlled by the military, so he didn't need to wear it.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Chu stood in front of the window and looked outside. He found that it was pitch black around him, with only sporadic lights in the area controlled by the military.
"I didn't expect that there are such backward areas in this world." Chen Chu sighed, then narrowed his eyes in thought.
Judging from the current situation, the situation in Koroya may be more complicated than he imagined, with federal troops, high-level practitioners, evil cultists and rebels.
I just don’t know what role these trial students played in this?
But no matter what role he plays, he plans to focus on stability next, and try to get more contribution points to improve his strength and break through the third level as soon as possible.
While Chen Chu was deep in thought, Xia Youhui came out, wiping his hair: "Achu, it's your turn."
"good."
Chen Chu took a simple shower, changed his clothes and came out to see Xia Youhui leaning against the bed, chatting happily with his cell phone in his hand.
"Ah Chu, check the group, there's something good."
"What good stuff?" Chen Chu walked over, picked up his phone, opened the chat software, and then saw that the number of messages in Sanjiu's chat group had reached 99+.
Confused, he opened the group and saw Lin Xue and others chatting animatedly.
After they got off the plane, they were attacked just like Chen Chu and his friends. During the battle, Lin Xue killed more than a dozen rebels. She was very brave and did not look like a girl at all.
Apart from this, the most surprising thing was that Luo Fei sniped and killed a believer from the Third Heaven.
Good, sniper kill.
The girls in the chat group sent many photos, including one in which Lin Xue stood on an armored vehicle holding a sword, looking heroic, and one in which Lin Yu stood with a sword on his back.
What is more special is the photo of Luo Fei.
In the picture, the girl is wearing dark red armor and carrying a sniper gun that is more than two meters long and has a barrel that is thirty millimeters thick. It is full of science fiction and looks very cool.
Chen Chu: "@Luo Fei, what's going on? Why are we all using cold weapons, but you are a sniper?"
Luo Fei: "【Playful】Didn't I tell you that my skills are special?"
Chen Chu was speechless: "...This is what you call special, is your real martial arts called gun fighting?"
Lin Yu popped up and asked curiously, "What kind of skill is gun fighting?"
"I just said it casually." Chen Chu coughed dryly.
Luo Fei explained: "I am following a special training route. My technique is a special Zhenwu that can shield my own killing intent and aura, and lock onto the enemy's aura from a long distance."
"In this case, I don't have strong frontal combat capabilities. I need to use special firearms to exert a lethality far beyond that of my peers."
"For example, this 28mm anti-material sniper 'gun' in my hand can kill the enemy silently at a distance of 2,000 meters using special armor-piercing bullets."
"Even a cultivator of the fourth level could die if he is caught off guard."
"Besides that, my gun can also be used as a cannon. Using the special incendiary explosive bombs to fire continuously, it can destroy a building in a short time."
After Luo Fei finished speaking, the entire chat group fell silent.
Chen Chu was a little confused: "Are you breaking the rules a little bit?"
Luo Fei: "【Sticks out tongue】This gun was originally prepared by my aunt for my second grade trial, to kill those large mutant beasts."
"And taking this route is not without cost. The strength is very weak in the early stage, and only after breaking through the fourth level will there be a certain combat power."
"In fact, this kind of cultivation method has already matured within the military. A few strong men can use specially developed cutting-edge weapons to kill some terrifying beasts that cannot be killed by hydrogen bombs."
Lin Xue: "Although I heard you say this this afternoon, I still feel uncomfortable."
Yi Rui: "Yes, we fought hard in the front, and you easily killed a Triple Heaven cultist in the back, and got 10 points of contribution."
Next, the chat group was filled with verbal criticism of Luo Fei.
There's no way, her weapon is too foul.
