Surrounding this huge dark area, the federal authorities divided it into twelve equal parts, which are twelve defense zones. Soong Ziyu is now located in the eleventh zone.
This area assists in defense at an angle of about 30 degrees and 15 kilometers extending back. There are hundreds of thousands of conventional mobile troops and hundreds of thousands of reserve forces stationed there.
Before coming here, Song Ziyu could never have imagined that the Federation would put almost all the country's power here.
Not only that!
Here, Song Ziyu also saw cutting-edge weapons that were not seen when the Yuxia Kingdom was at its peak.
And the closer this novelty gets to the abyss, the weirder it becomes.
When we were still fifteen kilometers away from the abyss, most of the things we could see around us were forts, tanks, and anti-aircraft capture nets. When we reached a distance of ten kilometers, what happened? There are very few tanks and other weapons. Instead, there are humanoid mechas and groups of mechanical beasts, and even the captured Gundam that I saw before...
This is a bit magical!
If it weren't for the muddy road under his feet and the Syrian-style ruins of the surrounding buildings, Song Ziyu might have suspected that he was no longer in the federal territory.
"What exactly is going on?"
Song Ziyu asked Annie who was patrolling next to her.
"What's going on?"
Anne didn't know why.
Song Ziyu pointed at the mechanical beasts on the ground and the Gundam walking around and said, "What are these things?"
"I told you before, these are all silicon-based combat bodies, they just have different shapes."
Anne explained.
"I still don't quite understand. Is your federation already capable of developing such a powerful automatic combat unit?"
Song Ziyu asked.
Annie shook her head and said: "Actually, that's not the case. These combat bodies all ran out of the abyss, were captured by us, and were modified for our use."
"You still have this kind of thing?"
Song Ziyu was surprised.
"Hmph! Do you really think that the Federal Research Institute is vegetarian?"
Annie sneered, her face full of pride.
"The four major departments of the scientific research institute, in addition to the famous Biology Department, are the R&D Department! Professor Wen from the Mechanical Department is a master of mechanics. Thanks to his invention, we can use the captured silicon-based combat bodies to Transform them into your own combat units, and then use their own technology to fight them!" Annie stated the problem concisely.
"There are actually such capable people in the Federation!"
Song Ziyu was surprised.
"There are many talented people, but you are not good at discovering them." Annie and Song Ziyu headed towards the abyss one after another.
After a series of trekking and running around, Song Ziyu soon discovered that the surrounding environment had undergone significant changes.
The ground began to turn an abnormal red color, and there was a strong smell of sulfur in the soil. From time to time, bursts of hot air came out of the cracks around it, which was very scary.
"You can't go any further!"
Annie stopped and said: "The environment further forward will be very harsh! The air and soil here have been transformed by the abyss and are not suitable for human survival. Unless Whether it is an awakened strong man or a modified silicon-based combat body, no one else can bear it..."
"Why are you okay?" Song Ziyu asked Annie.
Anne flipped her blond hair proudly, and then said: "Of course a person like me can evolve and adapt perfectly to the environment here."
As soon as she said this, Annie suddenly looked at Song Ziyu with a happy expression: "Yes, why are you okay? And your subordinates..."
Song Ziyu laughed when he heard this and said, "Is there a possibility that we are all awakened ones?"
Anne was a little surprised and said: "Awakened people are also divided into strong and weak. Can you do it?"
"I have no problem." Song Ziyu turned around and said to the Longshan soldiers behind him: "You guys wait here while I walk a little further."
During Song Ziyu's trip to the Abyss, apart from treating himself, his biggest wish was to see what secrets this place hid, enough for the Federation to use a huge army of Awakened Ones to garrison this place!
After arriving here, Song Ziyu was even more horrified!
The people stationed in the abyss are not only an outstanding army like the Demon-Slaying Legion, but also millions of powerful legions!
This kind of strength, this kind of lineup...
Song Ziyu quickly figured out one thing, that was the war between the Federation and the Northern Steel Alliance. The Federation was very restrained.
I know the strength of the Northern Steel Alliance. If the Northern Steel Alliance doesn't have the ability to beat the odds... the Federation can sweep the Northern Alliance with only half of the troops guarding the abyss.
This is absolutely!
Even destroying the wasteland where you are is not a problem.
The only ones he can really fight against are the millions of zombies roaming the city-state of Miluo.
But the combat power of millions of zombies is still incomparable to millions of well-trained troops.
and……
Song Ziyu looked at the mechanical beasts and Gundams patrolling everywhere, thinking that if these things were deployed, the zombies would be useless, right?
After all, the most terrifying aspect of zombies is corpse poison, but these mechanical fighting bodies are all made of metal... corpse poison has no effect on these things.
Thinking of this, Song Ziyu felt a little bad.
According to their own assessment, with the strength the Federation possesses, they can completely wipe out the entire world if they wish.
But the question was immediately placed in front of him.
If they have this power, why are they unwilling to do this?
Song Ziyu looked at Annie, and then asked this question: "The federal armaments are so strong, why didn't they just defeat the Northern Steel Alliance? Why did they still fight a war of attrition with the Northern Steel Alliance in Hongcheng?"
"Aren't you asking nonsense?" Annie said: "In order to suppress the monsters in the abyss, how dare the army here be mobilized at will... Last time, in order to raid Hongcheng, the Demon-Slaying Legion was mobilized and left, and then the monsters in the abyss They broke through the defenses and a lot of people died.”
"What about these mechanical beasts? Can't they move? And those Gundams, can't they fight?"
Song Ziyu asked.
Annie shook her head and said: "These silicon-based combat bodies themselves have flaws, and they cannot leave the abyss too far..."
"What flaw?"
Song Ziyu pricked up his ears.
Anne said alertly: "These are military secrets, what's the use of listening to them?"
Song Ziyu: "..."
The two walked forward while chatting, and soon reached the front of the abyss.
The troops stationed here are extremely elite, and their clothes are becoming more and more punk and post-modern. Many soldiers are not even equipped with firearms, and are replaced by extremely lethal cold weapons!
