The strongest talent

It was nearly noon, and a small convoy was slowly moving forward in the vast desert.

The sunshine in the desert is extremely harsh, especially at noon. The alloy body heats up quickly under the sunlight. The temperature in the cab of the vehicle has reached over 40 degrees. After turning on the air conditioner, a cool breeze blows, and I immediately feel a pleasant coolness. .

The heavy transport vehicles used by the Chinese military are very powerful and use ion energy cores, which are usually replaced only once every six months. When empty, the top speed can reach 220 kilometers per hour. When fully loaded, the tires sink deeply into the sand. , a large explosion-proof tire with a diameter of three meters eats about one meter of sand, leaving a deep rut in the desert, and slowly moves towards the northeastern Amul base at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

Rumble…

The sound of vehicle engines is endless in this desert, and the exhaust pipes are emitting scorching heat waves. Because they are the core of energy, they do not produce exhaust gases that pollute the environment. Instead, the hot gases discharged from air-conditioning pipes present a rising blur visible to the naked eye. The airflow adds a bit of life to this silent and desolate desert.

"Stop and rest!" The squad leader Mao Qiaowei's voice sounded clearly on the squad communicator in the cab: "Fifteen minutes, start the timer now, hurry up!"

laugh!

Sharp brake sounds sounded, and the five heavy transport tanks came to a halt. Ten soldiers from the second squadron, second platoon, and second logistics company stepped out of the tanks one after another, either gathering in twos and threes to eat rations, or running to In the distance, just find a sand pit to relieve yourself - they are not strong enough, and their bodies have not yet begun to condense the core of life. Eating, drinking, and their digestive systems will produce excrement. Just like ordinary people, they all need to go to the toilet.

Although the war is very tense now, the mission time of the logistics troops is relatively relaxed, and the routes through which the missions are performed are uniformly arranged by the Xiyue Tactical Force Combat Command to avoid dangerous areas along the way, making the transportation lines very safe.

Even if there are several dangerous areas, the convoys always pass by the edge. The higher-level monsters in the dangerous areas have been dispatched in large numbers to attack several surrounding survival bases, even if there are scattered mutant beasts attacking the transport convoy. , the strength is very poor, the firepower equipped by the soldiers can easily deal with it.

Yuan Qing didn't need to excrete, so he ate a pack of combat rations in the cab of the vehicle without getting out of the car. Feeling the cool breeze blown by the air conditioner, he reached out and grabbed his hair that was blown by the air conditioner. Thunder light flashed in his palms, and his eyes There is also lightning inside, and I observe everything around me from time to time.

The weather is now very clear, no desert wind, and visibility is very high. The cab of the transport truck is more than six meters above the ground. From this height, Yuan Qing can see more than 70 kilometers at a glance - this is not the limit. The main reason is that the desert is not flat, the ground is undulating, and there are large sand dunes further away. , blocking the view.

Although the heavy-duty transport vehicle is fully equipped with a heat detection system that can search for a kilometer nearby, and will immediately trigger an alarm once traces of mutant beasts are found. However, Yuan Qing believed in himself; many mutant beasts were cold-blooded animals, such as desert worms and sand snakes, and heat detection was almost ineffective against them. However, they were agile and could sneak in the sand, posing a great threat to transport convoys.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, the soldiers returned to the car again, and the convoy continued to move forward steadily and slowly.

"In half an hour we will be out of the desert and entering the Northeast protective forest." The person who spoke was the driver of the XY-HQ22-250 heavy transport vehicle, medium private "Zhang Laishun"; in the morning, he and the soldiers escorting the vehicle " Zhao Yunda" chatted frequently, and Yuan Qing already knew their names from their exchanges.

Zhang Laishun skillfully controlled the steering wheel, looking straight, and said with some envy: "The war in Amule is not tense. They mainly protect the shanty breeding base on the prairie. There are almost no attacks from mutant beasts and there are few troops stationed. I heard Yesterday, the entire convoy went to the 'Enaji Base', transporting all A-grade alloy weapons and high-explosive incendiary bombs. When crossing the blockade, there would be a few battles there. If we could kill a few more mutant beasts, it would be a military achievement. Zhang is indispensable, just thinking about it makes me greedy."

Zhao Yunda and Zhang Laishun are about the same age. They are both in their mid-twenties and first-level fighters. Both of them are carrying C-class alloy swords. Zhao Yunda is also holding a C-2 Vulcan submachine gun, excitedly. , chatting heatedly with Zhang Laishun: "We also have a chance to make meritorious deeds! There are also mutant beasts in the protective forest, and they are all relatively weak. Our firepower is not weak. Squad leader Mao is still at the third level. Kill a group of mutant beasts and get some beasts." If you turn in the crystal or something, don’t you get a military medal?”

"Hey, it's important for us to transport supplies, and the squad leader won't agree." Zhang Laishun took out half a pack of shriveled cigarettes from the closed storage box in the cab, smoked one, threw it to Zhao Yunda across Yuan Qing sitting in the middle, and lit it himself He smoked one happily, with a face filled with relief: "It's better to go out and perform your tasks. You can smoke if you want, no one will care about it, and the squad leader won't say anything if he knows."

The two of them smoked cigarettes and chatted with each other. As for Yuan Qing, who was sitting in the middle, he seemed to be a ball of air and was automatically ignored by them... It was more like deliberately neglecting him and completely ignoring him.

Yuan Qing was extremely quiet. He kept silent and meditated silently with his eyes closed. The spiritual power from meditation was quickly transformed into two parts. One part was integrated into the mental sword in his mind, and the other part was automatically transformed into pure spiritual energy and entered the heart life. The sea, integrated into the central spiritual origin, is slowly moving towards the middle stage of the fifth level.

Occasionally, Yuan Qing would open his eyes, look at his surroundings, make sure there was no danger, and then continue to meditate.

At 1:20 p.m., the convoy drove out of the Asura Desert and entered the protective forest in the northeastern part of the desert. There were no wide roads in the forest and could not accommodate the huge transport vehicles. The leading vehicle at the front of the convoy was like a Class A steel beast. The alloy transport truck easily broke apart the tall sand-proof forest trees and rolled over them all the way.

Click, click, click...

The trees crushed by the large explosion-proof tires were extremely fragile, and each big tree cracked and exploded, making a clear smashing sound; the convoy crushed everything, maintaining a traveling speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and passed through the 40-kilometer-deep desert protective forest. , continue to move towards the Amule base.

"Amul Base..." Yuan Qing looked down at the map on his smart watch, his eyes wandering to another base southeast of Amule Base, and he shook his head secretly.

What he was looking at was Baiyun Base, which was only 140 kilometers away from Amule Base. Qi Dongyang, Zhou Yuan, Guigui, Yang Qinglan... They were guarding the energy mining area there at Baiyun Base. They might be fighting mutant beasts at this time. Think about it. Think about it, I’m really a little envious!

Just half an hour after the convoy left the protective forest, a fourth-level female brown bear walked through the protective forest with two second-level cubs. It was not highly humanoid, but its body shape was very close to humans. Walking on its hind legs, it rummaged for food from the trees crushed by the convoy. The eyes of the two fist-sized bears sometimes flashed with humanized wisdom.

After rummaging for a while, the two cubs screamed "yoyo" and rolled and played in the ruts made by the convoy. Their strong and strong bodies easily smashed the spiky wooden branches, but they were not injured. The bear skin exudes a faint metallic light.

"Roar!" The female brown bear looked at the rut and let out a roar, revealing the sharp fangs in her mouth; it slowly climbed up the strongest tree, opened its bloody mouth, and roared endlessly: "Roar, Roar!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Only ten minutes passed, and one after another mutant beasts came quickly from the forest in the distance. There were mutant squirrels with cubs, there were huge and clumsy megalodons, and there were also mutant bears with flexible bodies and black claws. Monkeys, there are also bat-winged beasts flying from mid-air; their strength is mostly in the third and fourth levels, and the strength of the young animals is weaker, mostly in the first and second levels. They heard the call of the brown bear mother beast and gathered together to transport Near the rut left by the convoy, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

About half an hour later, the total number of mutant beasts gathered here had exceeded 500, including nearly 300 adult mutant beasts. The rest were cubs, just like the original cubs, they were all playing in the ruts. , paying no attention to the ferocious adult mutant beasts around them.

"Roar!", "Ouch!" "Squeak!", "Chirp"...

The adult mutant beasts roared and roared, and their voices and eyes became more and more ferocious and crazy; soon after, they slowly dispersed, taking their cubs away from the rut, and went deep into the protective forest, and then No trace either.

————————

This transportation mission went smoothly.

The specified task time was to be delivered on the same day. It was only 5 pm and the sky was still very bright. Yuan Qing's transport convoy had already arrived at the Amule base and quickly completed the handover of resources. At 6:40 pm, the convoy set off again and drove all night. Return to the temporary station of Xiyue Tactical Force.

When I went there, the transport truck was fully loaded, and when I returned, it was also fully loaded. The carriage was turned on high-speed refrigeration and filled with farmed animal meat produced at the Amule Base; they were breeding the first-order mutant beast "Banya Boar", which is not very aggressive. , an omnivorous mutated beast, fed some feed and hay, slaughtered a batch every 40 days, and provided raw meat to several surrounding survival bases.

Some of this raw meat is used for military consumption, some flows into the hands of combat ration manufacturers, and a small part goes into major supermarkets... Many supermarkets are the property of the Chinese Luo family, and the Amule base even has a mercenary group stationed by the Luo family. In this large-scale war, the three major families in China are all contributing their own strength, sending family private soldiers to each survival base. Many soldiers are equipped with better equipment than the military!

At nearly 11 o'clock in the night, the transport convoy arrived at the Northeast Protective Forest again, driving steadily along the ruts that had been pressed out; Zhang Laishun was driving when they arrived, and now he has closed his eyes to rest. Zhao Yunda is driving, and he is also very skilled and stable in control. The steering wheel, under the action of the powerful shock absorption system, only causes slight bumps in the heavy transport vehicle, and almost no vibration is felt.

The thermal monitoring system in the cab found no abnormalities, and everything seemed extremely normal under the roar of the engine and the dim light of night; however, Yuan Qing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had already opened his eyes, and his brows slowly wrinkled - he had I felt the aura of mutated beasts, at least 500 of them, including more than 60 of them of the fourth level!
