The roar of the engine gradually faded, replaced by the squeaking sound of tires crushing gravel.
The chariot stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and gasoline, carrying a sense of desolation unique to the end of the world.
Mou Xuan jumped off the chariot, and his boots stepped on the ground with a dull "bang".
Looking around, the enemy camp was like a dormant giant beast, lurking grimly in the ruins.
On the towering walls, the barbed wire flickered with a cold light, and on the watchtower, the searchlight scanned everything around like a Cyclops.
"Wow, this is simply an iron bucket formation!" The You League guard couldn't help but sigh. He touched the heavy machine gun on his shoulder. This thing now made him feel extremely at ease.
"Report to Brother Xuan, a large number of mines and infrared sensing devices were found around the enemy camp. Preliminary estimates show that there are also secret sentries." Chen Yao's voice came from the communicator with a hint of solemnity.
"As expected, this is Lao Jiang's territory. He's cautious enough." Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes. The scene of being betrayed in his previous life flashed quickly in his mind, and a surge of anger surged in his chest.
"Information Analyst Shen, can the intelligence you obtained earlier be used?"
"Yes, Brother Xuan, according to intelligence, the defense on the east side of the enemy camp is relatively weak, and there is a hidden path that can bypass most of the cordon lines." Information analyst Shen quickly pulled up the electronic map and pointed to a winding path on it.
"Okay, let's sneak in from the east. Remember, we must act quickly and covertly, and try to avoid head-on conflict." Mou Xuan gave the order decisively.
The group crouched down and moved forward along a hidden path covered with weeds.
It was quiet all around, with only the rustling of the wind through the weeds and the nervous heartbeats of everyone.
"Wait! Brother Xuan, look what that is!" The You Alliance guard suddenly stopped and pointed at a slightly raised mound of earth on the ground in front of him.
"Land mine!" Mou Xuan shouted softly, grabbed the You Alliance guard and narrowly avoided the hidden murderous intent.
"Information Analyst Shen, is your intelligence accurate? I almost gave it up here!"
Information analyst Shen broke out in a cold sweat, "Sorry, Brother Xuan, this location is not marked in the intelligence..."
"Okay, be more careful next time!" Mou Xuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to move on.
At this moment, there was a slight "click" sound, and the You Alliance guard accidentally stepped on a pressure plate hidden under the fallen leaves.
"Shit! Here they come again!" he exclaimed, but before he could react, several crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the surrounding bushes and flew towards everyone with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Get down!" Mou Xuan shouted and activated his time ability at the same time, and everything around him seemed to slow down.
He clearly saw the flight trajectory of the crossbow arrow and the hiding position of the enemy.
"Chen Yao, two at the three o'clock position on the left! You Alliance guard, one at the nine o'clock position on the right!" Mou Xuan quickly gave the order, pulled out his pistol, and fired several shots at the nearest enemy.
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night.
Chen Yao and the You Alliance guards also reacted quickly and opened fire almost at the same time, killing the enemies hiding in the dark.
"That was a close call!" Wei Lianmeng patted his chest incredulously, his face turning a little pale.
He was in a state of high tension during the battle, and although he tried hard to overcome it, he still seemed a little flustered.
"Don't just stand there, search quickly to see if there is anything useful." Mou Xuan urged.
Everyone began to search the enemy's bodies and the surrounding rooms.
The Wei Alliance gullible people found a locked metal box in the corner of a room.
"Brother Xuan, there's a box here!" he shouted excitedly.
Mou Xuan walked over, used his supernatural powers to take a look at the things in the box, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that we are lucky. This should be what we are looking for."
He opened the box easily, revealing some documents and an encrypted USB drive.
"Information Analyst Shen, take a look at the contents of these documents." Mou Xuan handed the documents to Information Analyst Shen.
The information analyst took the document and read it carefully.
"Brother Xuan, these are new materials about Jiang's experiment! They record the progress of the experiment and some key data in detail!"
"Great!" everyone cheered.
"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth."
At this time, the Yin Alliance skeptic walked up to Mou Xuan and whispered, "Brother Xuan, I noticed a detail. This camp seems to be simpler than we thought. I suspect..." He paused and pointed to an area on the map, "Here, there may be a hidden core area."
Mou Xuan looked at the marked area on the map and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Xuan, let's go and take a look!" Chen Yao suggested.
"Okay, Chen Yao, you and the You Alliance guards stay here to protect information analyst Shen. I will go to the core area with the Yin Alliance skeptics and the Wei Alliance believers." Mou Xuan made a decision.
"Yes, Brother Xuan!"
The three of them moved cautiously towards the core area, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
They slowly approached the target area, the surrounding scene became more and more weird, an inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped their hearts... "Wait," Mou Xuan suddenly stopped, an ominous premonition came to his mind, "this place..." They held their breath and slowly approached the core area specially marked on the map.
The surrounding architectural style also began to become strange. It was no longer a dilapidated ruin, but instead revealed a sense of technology, which was out of tune with the desolate scene of the end of the world.
Suddenly, an invisible wall blocked their way!
It’s like the “air wall ahead” prompt that suddenly pops up in the game, catching people off guard.
"What the hell! What the hell?" The credulous member of the Wei Alliance exclaimed and reached out to touch it. It felt cold and hard, as if he was touching a huge piece of glass.
"Brother Xuan, what...what is this? Is it a barrier?"
Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the barrier in front of him.
Complex runes flowed on the surface of the barrier, emitting a faint blue light. It was obvious that it was not a simple thing.
"Shin Information Analyst, can you crack it?"
The voice of Shen Information Analyst came from the communicator, with a hint of helplessness: "Brother Xuan, these runes are very complicated. I need time to analyze them. I'm afraid I can't figure them out in a short time!"
Just then, a noisy sound of footsteps came from all directions, mixed with the sound of metal colliding, sounding like enemies were gathering.
"Oh no! They discovered us!" The face of the suspicious Yin Alliance changed, and he looked around vigilantly.
"It seems like we've been trapped!" Mou Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
"In that case, let's have some fun with them..." He turned to look at the Yin Alliance skeptic, his eyes full of meaning: "Old Yin, do you think this thing can be opened by unconventional means?"
