Chapter 167

, the transaction was completed

After making sure that there were no problems with the supplies, the captain gestured to leave.

All the team members walked towards the car in an orderly manner, and even got on the car in an orderly manner, which demonstrated the quality of the soldiers.

The empty truck led the way, followed by two off-road vehicles in the back. The vehicle loaded with supplies was in the middle of the team, closely protected by the vehicles in front and behind.

With the roar of the engines, the four cars drove away again.

The wheels rolled, raising dust on the dry ground wherever they passed.

At this moment, the smile on the face of the person in charge who was watching from the spot disappeared.

These people were on high alert and did not enter the base at all.

The base commander's order was to kill these people without losing a single soldier and to swallow up the supplies they brought.

However, their plan failed, and the other side did not give them any chance to carry out their conspiracy.

If we choose to take force outside the base, we may succeed, but these people are very skilled and may escape in the chaos.

Not only will they not be able to obtain the supplies, but the already fragile friendly relationship between the two bases will also be severely damaged. In this way, it will no longer be possible to carry out any form of cooperation with City A in the future.

But only City A has plenty of food, and they don't want to make things too tense overtly, but they still want to get it for free. They are typically bad and stupid.

"Drive as fast as possible and pay close attention to your surroundings."

"yes."

At this time, the captain looked serious, and even though they were far away from the D City base, he did not dare to relax.

After all, the D City base is insidious and cunning.

The four cars sped along the way, and we even had a simple dinner in the cars. In this way, we raced against time and the originally long journey was shortened to nearly half.

Finally, after completely leaving City D, at noon the next day, everyone was able to rest.

The hot air above our heads was scorching the earth. Everyone was thirsty from the heat, their clothes were soaked with sweat and then dried up by the hot air.

Everyone's body seemed to be drained of moisture, becoming dry and feeling like clothes would wet if they were rubbed hard.

Everyone quickly set up the tent, leaving only one person to guard it. The rest of them couldn't wait to get into the tent, fell to the ground, and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes. Their sleep quality was excellent.

Fang Xin and Gou Zi also went into their own small tent, quickly took out an ice basin to cool down, and put two ice cubes in their mouths. The cool feeling spread in their mouths, and they felt much more comfortable.

She was wearing a thermostatic suit, so her body temperature was not too high, but the exposed skin, such as her eyes and ears, still felt a burning sensation.

The dog's mouth, eyes and ears were also exposed, so it naturally made the little guy very hot and he kept sticking out his tongue to cool down.

Fang Xin also stuffed two ice cubes into its mouth to cool it down.

She doesn't like to eat alone in the SUV.

The man and the dog ate several ice cubes in succession before they were finally satisfied. Then they closed their eyes and took a rest. They didn't know why, but they always felt sleepy in such hot weather.

Just touch the pillow and fall asleep.

I was tired after traveling for a whole day and night.

Everyone stayed there resting, and time passed slowly until five in the afternoon, when they got up and moved around, walking out of their tents and stretching their bodies.

After a simple dinner, the captain decided to set off at night as the temperature at night is much lower than during the day.

This way, people won't suffer too much.

The four cars started their engines again and set out on the return journey.

Fang Xin was sitting in the back seat and couldn't help but yawn.

Yawning seems to be contagious. When one person yawns, everyone in the car starts yawning too.

Yu Keke covered her mouth with a teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye.

"Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Not bad."

"That's what it's like when you're out and about. There's no such thing as rushing around day or night."

“Well, it’s not easy.”

"Close your eyes and take a rest for a while."

"Okay." Fang Xin closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his body relaxed.

Under the cover of night, everything around was dark and silent, with only the headlights of a few cars emitting strong light, illuminating the road ahead.

At this moment, Fang Xin, who was sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up straight with alertness, and the dog beside her also pricked up her ears.

Bang bang bang!

A burst of dense and rapid gunfire rang clearly in Fang Xin's ears, tearing apart the tranquility of the night.

Rustle!

It was as if a large number of objects were moving rapidly. What else could this sound be but a large swarm of mutant insects?

She was all too familiar with that voice.

Judging from the sound, someone must have been besieged by a swarm of mutant insects.

Yu Keke, who was sitting next to him, noticed the alarm in Fang Xin's eyes and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

"It seems someone is under siege by a swarm of mutant insects."

"Bugs again!"

Yu Keke's face turned pale. She hated the densely packed insects the most. "Where are they far from us?"

Fang Xin's eyes fell on a certain place in the darkness ahead, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not far ahead."

Fang Xin immediately pressed the headset and told the captain the information very quickly and accurately.

The captain's steady voice came, "Let's go over there and take a look."

As the vehicle got closer, the originally vague sound became clearer and clearer, as if I could feel the tension and danger approaching.

Looking from a distance, one could see a large, dark swarm of insects, like a surging tide, tightly surrounding a group of more than a dozen people in the center.

A rough estimate is that there are tens of thousands of these densely packed insects! Compared to the last insect swarm they encountered, the scale of this time is obviously twice as large.

Fortunately, this time there were no terrifying, meter-long giant insects at the rear of the insect swarm.

At this moment, one of the team members accidentally fell into the swarm of insects. In an instant, countless insects swarmed over him and covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Only two minutes later, when the madly gnawing insects dispersed, only a miserable, horrifying skeleton remained.

Faced with such a horrific scene, the captain was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly in the headset: "Go help!"

After hearing the order, the team members reacted very quickly and picked up various weapons in their hands.

Among them, Yu Keke and others grabbed the sledgehammer without hesitation, although this simple tool seemed a bit backward compared to other professional weapons.

With so many bugs, it is clearly at a disadvantage.

After returning to the base, she had to find a way to get some weapons that she was familiar with. The previous firearms were useless against insects, and she was reluctant to spend points on them. But during this mission, she could clearly feel that the insect tide was increasing.
