Chapter Forty-Nine: Entering Meijing City



In just two months, she united the Song Dynasty, which was on the verge of collapse, and Meijing City witnessed the pledge of allegiance of practitioners, nobles and generals to the new king.

That year, the princess was seventeen years old (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning).

...

After traversing the abandoned streets of Meijing City, Chen Jing and his group finally arrived at the inner city.

Upon arrival, Chen Jing and the others spontaneously formed small teams and dispersed in a circular pattern.

In fact, it is almost impossible to conduct real-time command in Meijing City, which is shrouded in fog; even the Black Hand cannot do it.

In this pervasive fog, signals could only be conveyed through simple sounds.

Chen Jing wasn't sure if other places had invented things like walkie-talkies, but at least the Black Hand didn't have them, and the Hunter Group certainly didn't.

People communicated using pre-arranged messages.

When the monster lureers are hunting with the Guardian Hunters, they often work in pairs. Two people is a very delicate number. Together they can easily defeat a single ordinary monster, or they can cooperate to lure away a powerful monster in stages.

However, during the reconnaissance and clearing phases, small teams of three to six people are more comprehensive and less likely to suffer casualties; these are valuable lessons learned.

In Chen Jing's team, besides himself and Dao Nan, there was also a lone scavenger and Li Aidan, a strong woman who loved to take baths.

The mentor-mentee model can greatly reduce unnecessary personnel losses! After Chen Jing assigned an experienced and familiar person like Dao Nan to his team, he also needed to assign two less experienced people.

Chen Jing's team searched the outer area where their hunting party had previously hunted. Firstly, the wandering souls of slaves had appeared here before, and the probability of them reappearing was not small. Secondly, if they wanted to escape, they could make use of the runways and traps left behind.

“The time is too short… In the past, we would spend several days preparing for a hunt. The first few days were all spent preparing traps and tracks, and then we would strike…” Chen Jing was a little worried, feeling that Black Hand didn’t treat them like human lives at all.

As they turned the corner, Chen Jing and the others, who were lined up in formation, suddenly froze.

Two bodies belonging to members of the reconnaissance team lay on the ground.

“They were attacked and didn’t have time to sound the alarm.” Dao Nan was about to step forward to examine the body when Chen Jing stopped him.

Chen Jing recalled the Black Flag Mercenary Group's assassins who used corpses as traps to lay landmines.

Although the monsters in Meijing City do not have landmines, it does not mean that they do not set traps. Some of them are also simple-minded and, if they realize that there are many people here, they may set up ambushes based on the corpses.

Although the possibility is very small, if a monster with simple intelligence were to discover so many people, it is possible that there are some rather insane ones among them.

It's never wrong to be careful.

"Check the surroundings first." Chen Jing drew his black iron straight sword "Lone City" with his right hand and gripped the hilt of his spear with his left.

Dao Nan and the lone scavenger nodded, understanding Chen Jing's meaning, and began to act in unison. However, Li Ai was still a little confused and didn't know what to do.
