The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

Chapter 346: geological changes

Dajing, Base No. 2.

The soldiers hiding in the sentry tower in the dark are working hard to scan the surrounding weirdness through the weird energy detector. According to the city defense team, since the seventh level weirdness awakened, the weirdness in the entire city has become active, and the No. 3 defense line It has been lost. Once the weirdness goes one step further, Base 1 will be completely hopeless.

Originally, the No. 3 line of defense had been abandoned, but the emergence of the No. 2 base made this line of defense come into use again. The city defense team sent out elite soldiers to patrol in shifts 24 hours a day to monitor the strangeness of the entire neighborhood.

At this time, a soldier noticed smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a convoy followed by densely packed parasitized people and weirdos was heading towards Base 2.

"Back, Captain Fang and the others are back!" The soldier immediately picked up the communicator and reported to the command camp, while pressing the alert button.

Not only Fang Mingyue's motorcade came back, but also the weird and parasitized people in the entire neighborhood.

Although the headquarters knew that such a situation would happen before Fang Mingyue led the team to receive the resources, because even if the carrier tank has been improved many times, its movements will definitely attract the attention of the surrounding strange and parasitized people, but after seeing such The soldiers on the sentry tower were also frightened by the strange swarm that was as dense as ants.

Fortunately, the new parliament had already arranged a response. After receiving the alert signal from the sentry, it immediately launched an emergency response plan.

Deng Yuqi was on standby at Base No. 2. After receiving the signal, he immediately connected to the surveillance screen, then picked up the communicator and said: "After the formation's convoy enters the blockade area, interception procedures No. 1-3 will be started in 10 seconds. , intercepting the weird and parasitized people behind them outside the blockade."

The interception program Deng Yuqi mentioned was a program set up by the research department using the abandoned defense facilities of the 3rd line of defense, together with the latest sly energy defense devices.

After Fang Mingyue's convoy entered the blockade area, as soon as the No. 1 interception program was started, a loud "bang, bang, bang" was heard immediately. A two-meter-thick metal wall slowly rose from the ground in the street, with a total of four or five meters. Meters high, although this height is insignificant compared to some level 3 weirdos, it can keep the largest number of low-level weirdos and parasitized people out of the blockade.

Since the metal defense wall did not rise very fast, some of the strange objects were pushed up, and some could even cross the defense wall.

Although the three-meter-thick defensive wall is very strong, in fact, when it encounters those three-level weird things that are four or five meters high, it is immediately distorted and deformed, or even knocked out of the gap.

But this was only the first step in the defense process. After the defense wall was breached, a thick black mist of treacherous energy immediately emitted from the interior.

This is the high-level strange aura collected by the warriors of the exploration team who risked their lives to enter the seventh-level strange blockade area. There is strict level suppression among the strange, except for first-level strange and parasitized people who do not even have the instinct of fear. Most low-level weirdness, second- and third-level weirdness will be suppressed by high-level weirdness.

Sure enough, as the strange black mist appeared, some third-level strange people immediately stopped and rushed in the opposite direction, or rushed into the nearby ruins to hide.

But this level of suppression is not absolute. Because Fang Mingyue's convoy brought back too many weirdos, a large number of weirdos still broke through the defense line.

At this time, the No. 2 defense program was activated. The collapsed ground, power grid, devious explosive bombs, etc., and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the neighborhood in an instant.

Finally, there was defense program No. 3. The bunker hatch hidden in the surrounding ruins opened, and the weird people inside who had been trained by the institute and the shelter immediately escaped and fled in the opposite direction of the shelter.

They exuded a delicious aura of strange energy, which immediately attracted a large number of strange people. At this time, the three groups of soldiers who had been on guard around them launched an attack.

The city defense team held several key lines of defense, while the exploration group and the monster hunting group, warriors who were better at fighting monsters, rushed to the front line.

After Fang Mingyue commanded the convoy to drive into the underground passage of Base 2, he immediately led the team to the front line for support. This was the most intense defensive battle the shelter had experienced since its establishment.

The most scarce thing at the end of the world is resources, among which food is the most scarce. Everyone knows that the resources brought back by Fang Mingyue can support the lives of the people in the shelter for at least one or two months, so they all risk their lives to stop the strange attack.

Although one or two months is not long, the shelter is already planning to evacuate Dajing, and this batch of resources is the key to whether they can reach the next livable spot alive.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and nearly 30% of the soldiers of the third regiment were killed or injured. Only then could they barely stabilize the offensive and stop Weiwei outside the blockade area.

Fang Mingyue's combat uniform was soaked black with blood, and when he walked into the headquarters, there was a blood mark on the floor.

"Report to Commander Deng that in addition to a large amount of food, the resources brought back this time also include various weapons and ammunition." Fang Mingyue reported the harvest in full. According to the preliminary estimate of the Logistics Department, if the food is only used The consumption on Base 2 can last at least three and a half months.

"Well done!" Deng Yuqi praised Fang Mingyue for a few words and then began to ask about Fang Mingyue's injuries and the details of the operation.

When they heard that Shen Ge had stayed behind and that Fang Mingyue's team was able to escape from the high-level and strange pursuit and escape from the blockade, they suddenly thought deeply.

In fact, Deng Yuqi never understood why Shen Ge spared no effort to help them. Even though he heard that he came from another world, there were people like them in that other world, and they were still his comrades, he still had doubts about Shen Ge's "motivations" .

The reason is very simple. The saying "love the house and the bird" can be used as the icing on the cake, but in a situation like this where one has to risk one's life to help, it is difficult not to make people suspicious.

But no matter what, Shen Ge's contribution to the shelter so far is obvious to all, and he even helped the shelter remove the cancer of the New God Religion.

Although Shen Ge's plan to replace the New God's Religion as the magician and let the new council control the civilian population in the refuge from both strength and mental aspects failed, it was still a good start for the new council.

"Captain Deng, you said... should we organize a team to go back to the blockade area to search for Shen Ge's whereabouts?" Fang Mingyue asked.

The reason why her tone was a bit tangled was not because she was afraid of high-level weirdness, but because she had a clear understanding of her own strength after working with Shen Ge several times. If she formed a search team and went back, she might not be able to help. If Shang Shenge doesn't say anything, he will be held back again. Fang Mingyue suddenly became a little frustrated when she thought of this. This was the first time that she felt that her strength was so weak. Not to mention that the several actions of the dignified captain did not help at all. It was only Shen Ge who could get out of danger.

When Deng Yuqi was debating whether to send someone to support Shen Ge, a soldier ran into the headquarters: "Report to Commander Deng that Captain Tu of the spy hunting team who went to perform the inspection mission sent back a video. Congressman, please contact us." At that time, Commander Liu was suppressing the riot at Base 1, and we couldn't contact him. Do you think you should go to the parliament to make a return? "

Strictly speaking, Liu Jiayi and Deng Yuqi, the elders of the three groups, are also members of the new council, so any new decisions made by the council must be approved by their opinions.

The biggest difference between the new parliament and the old parliament is that the cadres of the third regiment will not be directly dispatched by the new parliament. This is also to prevent the situation of Base No. 1 from happening again.

And during the three regiments' combat period, the new parliament was not allowed to interfere with their combat operations. This was a critical moment for Base 2, so Deng Yuqi had the right to refuse to participate in the meeting.

"Captain Tu?" Deng Yuqi naturally knew Tu Doupi. He was one of the leaders of the main exploration team at several evacuation points this time.

At present, there are problems in bases 1 and 2, and the defense line 3 is also in danger. In addition, there is another sixth-level monster in the blockade area that is about to complete the seventh-level breakthrough. The transfer of the shelter is imminent, and Deng Yuqi has to be cautious. Deal with it.

"Where are they?" Deng Yuqi asked.

The soldier replied: "Conference Room 3-2."

"I'll go over now." After saying that, Deng Yuqi looked at Fang Mingyue and asked her to go back and rest first and treat her wounds. She would send someone to deal with Shen Ge's matter.

Although Fang Mingyue wanted to say that given Shen Ge's strength, they should not cause trouble, but she was still a little worried about Shen Ge's safety. She opened her mouth, but in the end she just nodded.

When Deng Yuqi arrived at the conference room of the new parliament, she found that many more cadres from various regiments had been summoned than expected. Even several senior researchers from the research department who had been obsessed with weird research in the research room all year round also appeared. Conference room, it is enough to see that the information returned by Tu Doupi this time must have great research value.

After Deng Yuqi took her seat, a parliamentarian's assistant placed the information in front of her and briefly introduced the meeting.

Tu Doupi went to the north. Logically speaking, according to the current season, the north should be a land of ice and snow. Who would have thought that what he saw when entering the closed area of ??Sanshen City was not a land of ice and snow, but a virgin forest.

"The video sent back by Captain Tu was disturbed and some scenes were missing. Colleagues from the research department finally repaired the scene after a day and night of repairs. Please watch the screen." A researcher got up to debug the instrument and played it on the projector. A very blurry video.

As the picture gradually becomes clearer, you can see a group of warriors working hard to climb up under a large mountain that looks like a virgin forest in the video.

The leader was the heavily armed Tu Doupi. There was already an exploration team here to explore before them. They rushed to support after receiving the signal.

After climbing to the camp halfway up the mountain and reuniting with the originally stationed team, the recorder turned on the recorder and started recording the conversation, and then tried to transmit the information back to the headquarters.

The captain of the exploration team who came first was named Cai Hua. He was a senior exploration team leader assigned by Deng Yuqi. He stretched out his hand to Tu Doubi and said: "Hello, I am Cai Hua from the exploration team. I am in charge of this mission." The reason why the exploration team sent me to lead the regional exploration team is because I grew up in Sanjian City and am very familiar with it. However, this operation made me doubt my childhood memories. The place has changed. Not only the weather, but even the terrain has changed dramatically.”

As he spoke, Cai Hua spread out a map on the conference table, pointed to the route from Dajing to Sanshen City and said: "Since this evacuation is of great importance, and there is no time to waste, we chose the most suitable route to fight. The route that the car passes through, but when you came here, you also discovered that the mountain roads here are very difficult to walk, and the vegetation is as lush as a virgin forest like a tropical rain forest.”

"But the problem isn't the lush vegetation, it's... there are no 'hills' on this route!"

Tu Doubi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the map that Cai Hua took out. According to the map, there were very few hills in this area, let alone high mountains.

After his team entered the mountainous area, they could clearly feel how steep the mountain was. Even if the strange characteristics caused geological changes, it would be impossible for a big mountain to appear.

Cai Hua continued: "After we set up a temporary camp here, we conducted a comprehensive survey of the surroundings and found that the plants here grow very fast. Although there are many plants that I have never seen before, there are also many that we are familiar with and Edible plants.”

"The reason why I listed this place as a livable area is because the plant resources here are very rich, and the land is fertile. If we can build a defense line to block the weirdness at the foot of the mountain, then this place will be a paradise."

Tu Doupi asked with some confusion: "If that's the case, then report directly to the headquarters to find the best evacuation point, and feed back the data here to arrange evacuation. Why do you still need to request support?"

Cai Hua lit a cigarette and his expression became solemn: "Because we found a passage leading to the inside of the mountain on the mountain. A strong strange energy reaction was detected in this passage. The deputy captain and several people who entered the cave to investigate The team members were missing. I tried to enter the cave to look for them, but the situation inside was very complicated. Without the support of pathfinding equipment, I did not dare to go deep into the cave and could only ask for help from the headquarters. "

Tu Doubi immediately understood what Cai Hua meant when he heard this. This suddenly appeared mountain has lush plants, rich resources, and fertile land. It is indeed suitable for building a base to survive in the apocalypse. However, if there are strange and hidden caves on the mountain, if they are not dealt with, they will be destroyed. It is equivalent to building a base on a time bomb. No one knows when it will explode, maybe in peacetime, or in the face of a strange attack.

The former is okay, and only requires arranging personnel to be on 24-hour vigilance, but if it is the latter, when the combatants are fighting the weird on the front line, suddenly a large number of weird appears in the cave, and everyone is attacked from both sides, and everyone may die here. .

Therefore, Cai Hua had to be cautious, so he sought support from the Ghost Hunting Group, intending to let them enter the cave with him to search to confirm whether it was safe.

"Except for the strange reaction in the cave, how many strange things are there on this mountain?" Tu Doubi asked.

Cai Hua said solemnly: "There is not one. This is what I am most worried about. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, there is almost no place without weird activities in the world. And here, let alone high-level weirdness, there is not even one It’s just a low-level weird thing, and not a single parasite can be seen, which is a big problem in itself!” (End of Chapter)
