Lin Zihan rushed to the front and stepped into the valley at the lead. The hunting base was in front of him, but Lin Zihan was even more panicked.
Until a loud noise broke through the quiet world, Lin Zihan felt a powerful impact coming towards his face. With a thought, the exoskeleton instantly possessed him. Lin Zihan made a leap and kicked away the boulder that was coming straight towards him.
The boulder hit the wall and turned into a pile of rubble, leaving a deep crater in the wall.
Lin Zihan turned back and landed on a stone pillar. The dense stone forest around him made it impossible for Lin Zihan to see who was secretly attacking.
"Come out." Lin Zihan shouted angrily, his eyes still searching in the stone forest.
A stout figure flashed in front of Lin Zihan and jumped onto a stone pillar. He was covered in brown armor, but it was obviously still far from the level of a real exoskeleton.
"Huan?" A familiar voice came from under the brown armor. The helmet was slowly put away, revealing the yellowed face. The tattoos on the face were still so dazzling.
"Cao Shan?" Lin Zihan heard the voice and looked at the figure. He was tall and powerful, so it was Cao Shan.
"You are finally back." Cao Shan said, feeling a little aggrieved and even crying. "You guys have been gone for more than a month."
"What?" Lin Zihan was shocked. Even though he expected that the place of death was some kind of independent space, and that due to the influence of some powerful energy field, there would be a time difference, he was still shocked by the difference between these two days and one month. .
…
In the hunting base, Cao Shan recounted the events of the month in detail, ranging from base maintenance to going out hunting and trading with Nandu City...
"That is to say, Yuan Tingkai now has not only the military strength of Southern Capital, but also the military strength of nearly half of the cities in the entire Southern Region." Lin Zihan said worriedly after listening to Cao Shan's words.
"Yes, the military conference convened by Yuan Tingkai established a new military system called the United Army. The Nandu Military Law Office was first recommended as the military headquarters of the United Army, with Yuan Tingkai as the supreme commander. Now half of the people support it," Cao Shan said. Then, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Why did he do this? To counter the Federal Army?" Lin Zihan felt a little confused. You must know that the Federal Army represents the military stance of the Southern Territory, and what Yuan Tingkai did, it was obvious that he wanted to control the entire Southern Territory. military power.
"But the smartest thing about him is that he didn't openly break up with the federal army. He was just preparing for the coalition army. You must know that the garrison in the city is far more than the federal army." He Yunhua obviously knows a lot about military construction. A little more.
"Actually, the number of federal troops is not large, and most of them are scattered in the wilderness areas and border areas of the Southern Territory. Now Yuan Tingkai can completely overthrow the federal army and establish his own supreme military power in the Southern Territory." He Yunhua said with a look on his face. Deeper concerns.
After pondering for a long time, He Yunhua suddenly realized. "He's waiting." With a wave of his left hand, a huge projection appeared in the center of the table. That three-dimensional projection was the known territory of the entire Hoshino Empire.
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Zihan looked at the slowly rising projection, feeling even more puzzled. Yuan Tingkai now has the support of half of the cities in the Southern Territory. He is already the largest military group in the Southern Territory. No one can stop him. Come on.
"If there is civil strife in the Southern Territory, the two major territories of Dongliu and Ximo, the Federation will definitely not intervene. It is hard to say about the Northern Territory and the three inner territories. The Northern Territory and the Southern Territory are bordered by Qishan Mountain, but there is a federal army fortress there. , Qishan Nine Fortresses, and elite troops are stationed there.
Obviously, once the Northern Territory intervenes, the Federation Army will be attacked from both sides, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Yuan Tingkai, but he does not want the Northern Territory to taint the Southern Territory, and once civil strife breaks out in the Southern Territory, the Starfield Empire and the Federation will have sufficient excuses to send troops southward. The situation will only become more chaotic at that time. "
Hearing He Yunhua's general introduction, Lin Zihan also understood Yuan Tingkai's purpose, "He not only wants the status of the Southern Capital, he wants the entire Southern Territory to be dominated by him alone. With such a big ambition, he is not afraid of pushing himself to death." Lin Zihan said through gritted teeth, making his teeth chatter.
"So what he is waiting for is an opportunity or a surprise force that can clear away all the opposition in the Southern Territory for him in a short period of time, leaving only him." Yingluo said, with a half-smile on her face. , the pink color at the corner of her mouth is particularly charming.
"This is almost impossible. Even the strongest mobile division of the Federation Army currently has more than a hundred people and is equipped with S-class exoskeleton warriors, and the Federation Army only has twelve such divisions." He Yunhua said, obviously coming from He was a member of the Federal Army and knew the Federal Army well.
"A division of this size has fewer people but more elites. However, a large-scale war cannot be solved by just a few mobile divisions and reinforcements. What's more, the longer the battle line, the more elite soldiers and weapons of mass destruction will be needed. ." He Yunhua said with a serious look, just like a commander in charge of the battlefield.
"But Darkfall-level powerhouses can also deal a devastating blow to elite soldiers and ordinary mobile divisions. There is no shortage of military law departments, not to mention that in half of the cities in the Southern Territory, there must be at least fifty Darkfall-level people." Yingluo As he spoke, his gaze became deeper.
"And there are more king-level ones. Such strong men appear on the battlefield, but they are comparable to the existence of energy-gathering weapons."
…
This night was supposed to be about the joy of escaping from death, about having a drink and chatting after a long separation, but because of Yuan Tingkai, the topic became particularly heavy. A group of people with an average age of no more than thirty years old and less than a hundred subordinates actually started talking about the pattern of the Southern Territory.
No one would have thought that the fate of these people would be so deeply involved in the military disputes in the Southern Region.
The next morning, Lin Zihan stood on the observation deck of the base and stretched. After being drunk last night, he had a rare good sleep, without waking up or having nightmares... Lin Zihan would never have thought that this would be the most peaceful sleep he would have in the next month.
"Are you awake?" Cao Shan walked up the stairs and saw Lin Zihan, who was full of energy and the temperament exuding from his body was even more surging than before. In Cao Shan's heart, he has always believed that Lin Zihan's future achievements will not stop there.
"Wake up, I should go to Nandu today. I wonder if there is any news about Kexin there." Lin Zihan's face showed deep worry. Wu Kexin's disappearance left Lin Zihan's heart unbroken. Don't worry.
"At present, our intelligence network is limited and cannot be of much help. However, there is news. You can pay attention to it. In the old city of Sophie on the east side of the inner circle of the wilderness area, it is said that someone saw a powerful team. Hunting ferocious beasts.”
Cao Shan said and looked towards the east. A ray of morning light shone through the gap in the mountains and shone on Lin Zihan's face. That ray of light would eventually break through the chaotic situation in the Southern Territory.
Outside the Sophie Wilderness Area, a team of five people was walking quickly. With light steps and stealthy movements, he walked through the abandoned city.
"Instructor Ling, we still haven't found any clues about Lin Zihan. Since the clues about him being in the Land of Death were reported last month, no relevant news has come out." Yuan Shu held the fault protruding from the balcony with his hand. The body swayed slightly and then fell down.
"He will be fine, he will be fine." Lu Xin's eyes were a little tired. Three consecutive days of running around had already exhausted her last strength. When she heard the news, she was like a thunderbolt, and her body trembled. , his feet went weak, and he held on to the wall with his left hand to keep from falling.
"Nothing will happen to that bastard of his. He is so smart and powerful, nothing will happen to him." Lu Xin's words were more like self-comfort.
"Is there any news about the training camp?" Ling Fangyuan seemed much calmer at this moment, and there was no sadness in her eyes.
"No, since we left the training camp, the entire training camp seems to have disappeared, without any news." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice with a troubled expression.
"Director Lou is very witty and has a good relationship with the military. It should be fine." Ling Fangyuan said to herself.
"Sister Lu, where is my brother? Didn't you say you would take me to find my brother? Where is my brother?" Wu Kexin stood at the door, her eyes a little frightened, and her blinking eyes were no longer as agile as before. He was still holding Dingding in his arms.
Ding Ding's white hair has also become gray and dirty during this month of running around, and there is a scar visible to the naked eye on his forehead.
"Your brother will be fine." Lu Xin hugged Wu Kexin. This little girl, who was only a teenager, only had her brother Lin Zihan in her heart at the moment.
Along the way, Ling Fangyuan showed her kindness to Wu Kexin many times and protected Wu Kexin, but Wu Kexin was always reluctant to call Ling Fangyuan sister. Instead, she and Lu Xin became very close along the way.
The first moment she heard Lin Zihan's wanted order, Ling Fangyuan knew that Yuan Tingkai was going to attack Wu Kexin, so she rushed directly to Yiqing Pavilion and took Wu Kexin out of the training camp. She happened to meet Lin Zihan who was going to find him. Yuan Shu asked for an explanation, and Lu Xin who rushed back from outside just now.
The three people finally escaped from the arrest of the Military Justice Department with Wu Kexin under the cover of many students in the training camp. However, in this Sophie Wilderness Area, they still faced the pursuit of the Military Justice Department.
Because of their haste, the only communication device they had was damaged, and the three of them had been lost in the wilderness area for more than a month. This month, the team from the Military Justice Department has been chasing after him even more.
"Instead of caring about others, it's better to care about your own." A cunning voice sounded from the top of the building.
The three of them were instantly alert and protected Wu Kexin in the middle.
Five figures also jumped down from the roof. The leader was the chief law enforcer who led the team to ambush Lin Zihan that day. The four behind him were also king-level law enforcers.
"Law enforcement team?" Ling Fangyuan saw at a glance that the marks on the clothes of the five people were the marks of the current Military Law Department. "It's really haunting."
"Before Lin Zihan entered the land of death, he took a hit from me. He probably won't be able to get out." The law enforcement chief laughed, and his smile was full of arrogance and madness.
"You're talking nonsense, my brother will be fine." Wu Kexin looked at the man fiercely, the fear in his eyes swept away, like a little wolf, if Lu Xin hadn't grabbed him, he would have directly Rushed forward.
