War Lord

Chapter 209: old friend

The violent shaking made Zero lose sight of the mission profile on the tactical board in his hand. But the content of the mission had all been printed in his mind, so he put away the tactical board and looked at the world outward from the trunk of this big truck.

Outside the car is a desolate world, and at a glance there is no one in sight of the earth.

The altered grasses are piled up in threes or fives and become one of the few decorations on the earth. Compared with the weeds of the old age, the vitality of plants in the turbulent age is more tenacious. Like Zero sees this weed with an average length of no more than 50 cm, but their rhizomes are nearly ten meters deep into the ground. As long as 10mm of water can make them live for a week, this is how tenacious.

Except for the weeds, there are only one high-voltage electric tower left on the ground that is no longer working. Some of them bend, just like old humans, allowing cables to break and hang on the ground; some break directly from them, and the broken steel surface is uneven, indicating that Juli is forced to break. And their remains, lying helplessly on the ground, like dead beasts.

At the end of the earth, there is a continuous radiation cloud covering the entire sky. In the clouds, occasionally sparks swept around, and the lightning flashed quickly from far away, just like the celestial phenomenon before the heavy rain.

The wilderness is as lifeless and desolate as usual.

Compared with the wilderness, Asgart is no different from a heavenly existence. And staying in Asgart for nearly a month, almost forgot the outside world. It wasn't until now that he returned to the wilderness that he suddenly realized that the world had still not changed. Asgart is just a beautiful illusion, and more people are still living in hell.

It's just that zero is not the savior, and the cruelty of the great age cannot be saved by his personal ability. He knew this very well, so Zero turned his attention from the wilderness back to this actual combat mission.

This mission is jointly carried out by three teams of Windrunner, Vanguard and Demolition. In order to successfully complete the task, Cario asked the personnel of the three teams to break up and merge. Zero is the main person in charge of this mission, and the captains of the other two teams, Anthony and Rankine, are lieutenants who are responsible for implementing Zero's orders to their respective players.

The cause of the mission was that a material vehicle in the Hall of Valor was robbed, and all the guards and the driver were killed. Although Asgart can be self-sufficient to a large extent, it is a closed city after all, and there are some things that Asgart does not have. For example, some special medicines, metal raw materials, etc., so the Hall of Valor purchased these materials through some "agents" in the wilderness, and then shipped them to Asgart.

This time the material truck was robbed largely because of the negligence of the Transportation Management Department. The long-term safety record made the person in charge feel paralyzed. In order to save resources, the guards were reduced in strength, which caused this tragedy. At present, the person in charge has been dismissed. Naturally, the material truck could not fall into the hands of a certain wild force in the wilderness so plainly, so there was this action by these soldiers.

Although there are medicines and food on the material truck, these are only secondary. The important thing is the customized metal components, which are the parts needed for the development of the new tank in the Hall of Valor. If these items are lost, the development cycle will have to be delayed. The main task of Zero and them is to investigate, find the culprit, clean up and retrieve these metal components.

At present, because the location of the incident is near Phoenix. This independent city, which is not affiliated with any forces, has sent troops to control the location of the incident, and the bodies of the victims were also taken back to the city by Phoenix for cryopreservation. The Hall of Valor has already contacted the person in charge of Phoenix. He will wait for the arrival of the zero party at the location of the incident and provide them with the greatest assistance in performing their tasks.

And that person was the officer George Zero knew. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as an old friend.

George breathed out, shook his hand, and spilled his freshly brewed coffee.

"Damn it." He yelled angrily, and the loud voice shocked the two recruits on duty in the camp.

George is now in the wilderness three hundred kilometers away from Phoenix. Just two days ago, a large number of corpse eagles appeared in this direction from Phoenix. Corpse eagles are like corpse wolves and feed on carrion corpses. But they are more picky eaters, like fresh dead bodies. For this reason, Phoenix sent a small team to investigate, and found Asgart's material vehicle.

Originally, there was no mark left on the material truck, and at first Phoenix regarded them as the unlucky company in the wilderness. But after Asgart lost contact with the escort, he soon found that the convoy was stranded near Phoenix. So the Transportation Management Department reported the matter, and then transferred it to Asgart’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the senior officials in Phoenix, and the Phoenix side first controlled the place of the incident and waited for the people from the Hall of Valor to take over.

In the cities of the coastline area, the demarcation line is Grim Reaper Ridge. Most of the cities or bases north of Death Ridge turned to the Dark Council for protection. However, the cities and bases south of Death Mountain are in a relatively loose state, and only a small part of them have to rely on the Dark Council to survive. More than that, they have independent administrative powers like Phoenix, Titan City and Remut.

Of course, the dark council is not a magnanimous organization. Starting from the concept of "controlling all resources in hand", it is difficult for the council to allow these cities to have their own resources and develop independently. But in these cities, some are the agents of the Hall of Valor in the wilderness, or some have special commercial and even military "communication" with Asgar.

For this reason, under the interference of the Hall of Valor, the Dark Council can only give up. After all, the Dark Council does not want to go to full-scale war with the Hall of Valor in a short time, so it is necessary to maintain surface peace.

Although Phoenix is ​​not an agent of the Hall of Valor, from military to biochemical research, the city has close ties with the Hall of Valor, so it can be regarded as an ally. For this reason, the hijacking of the Hall of Valor supplies ~lightnovelpub.net~Phoenix attaches great importance to it, and the senior officer George has been appointed as the main person in charge of assisting the solution of the hijacking in the Hall of Valor.

Otherwise, George would not stay in this camp in the wild for nearly five days.

He drank the rest of the coffee, still unfulfilled. At this time, a soldier ran in from the camp and reported: "Sir, the people from the Hall of Valor have arrived!"

"It's finally here." George threw away his paper arms.

The officer strode out of the camp, and not far from the camp, there was a vehicle for supplies from the Hall of Valor and an off-road vehicle to escort. At present, both vehicles are surrounded by barbed wire fences for soldiers in Phoenix, and guards are set up.

George looked up and saw two trucks coming from the ground to the west. The truck came to a halt near the camp, followed by the Asgart soldiers who jumped down from the rear of the truck and dressed in Night God tactical uniforms. Looking across the soldiers, George suddenly brightened his eyes. A soldier with a blindfold on his right eye, broken black hair fluttering in the wind, and a handsome face appeared in George's eyes.

"Damn, when did this kid ran to the Hall of Valor." When George saw Zero, an old face couldn't help but smile.
