Chapter 209 Old Friend
The violent shaking makes Zero unable to see the mission profile on the tactical board in his hand. But the content of the task has been printed in his mind, so he put away the tactical board and looked at the outside world from the trunk of the big truck.
There is a desolate world outside the car. At a glance, there is no land that can be seen, and there is no smoke.
Three or five piles of mutatic grass have become one of the few decorations on the earth. Compared with the weeds of the old era, the vitality of plants in turbulent times is more tenacious. Zero sees this kind of weed with an average length of no more than 50 centimeters, but their rhizomes go deep into the ground nearly ten meters. How tenacious it is to let them live for a week with only 10MM of water.
Except for weeds, only high-voltage electric towers that can no longer work are left on the ground. Some of them are bent, like old humans, allowing cables to break and hang on the ground; some of them break directly from the ground, and the surface of the broken steel is uneven, indicating that the huge force is forced to break. And their limbs lay helplessly on the ground, like dead animal skeletons.
At the end of the earth is a continuous radiation cloud covering the whole sky. In the clouds, there are occasional electric shocks, and the electric light passes quickly from the far away, like the sky before the heavy rain.
The wilderness is as dead and desolate as usual.
Compared with the wilderness, Asgard is no different from a heavenly existence. And Zero, who stayed in Asgard for nearly a month, almost forgot the outside world. It was not until now that he returned to the wilderness that he suddenly realized that the world had not changed. Asgard 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 era cannot be saved by his personal ability. He knew this very well, so Zero pulled his attention back from the wilderness to this actual mission.
This mission is carried out by three teams: Windman, Pioneer and Blaster. In order to successfully complete the task, Cario separated and merged the personnel of the three teams. Zero is the main person in charge of this mission, and Anthony and Langen, the captains of the other two teams, are adjutants, who are responsible for implementing Zero's orders to their respective players.
The cause of the mission was that a material vehicle in the Yingling Hall was robbed, and all the guards and drivers were killed. Although Asgard can be self-sufficient to a large extent, it is a closed city after all, and some things are not available in Asgard. For example, some special drugs, metal raw materials, etc., so the Yingling Temple purchased these materials through some "* people" in the wilderness and transported them to Asgard.
The robbery of the material vehicle was largely due to the negligence of the Transportation Management Department. The long-term safety record made the person in charge feel paralyzed and reduced the strength of the guard in order to save resources, thus causing this tragedy. At present, the person in charge has been dismissed. But the material vehicle naturally could not fall into the hands of a wild force in the wilderness for no reason, so there was zero these soldiers' action.
Although there are medicine and food on the truck, these are only secondary. What is important is the customized metal components, which are the parts needed for the development of the new chariot of the Yingling Hall. If these things are lost, the development cycle will have to be delayed backwards. Zero's main task is to investigate, find murderers, clean up and retrieve these metal components.
At present, because the incident happened near Phoenix. This independent city, which is not affiliated with any force, has sent troops to control the scene of the incident, and the bodies of the victims have also been pulled back to the city by Phoenix for freezing. The person in charge of the Phoenix Department has been contacted, and he will wait for the arrival of the zero line at the scene of the incident and provide the greatest help for them to carry out the task.
And that man is George, an officer who knows zero. Speaking of which, he is also an old friend.
George gasped, shook his hand, and spilled the freshly brewed coffee all over himself.
"What the hell." He cursed, and the loud voice startled the two recruits on duty in the camp.
George is now in the wilderness 300 kilometers away from Phoenix. Just two days ago, a large number of corpses appeared in this direction of Phoenix. Corpses and corpses are like wolves, feeding on rotten corpses. But they are more picky about food and still like fresh dead bodies. To this end, Phoenix sent a team to investigate and found Asgard's supply truck.
Originally, there was no mark left on the material vehicle. At first, Phoenix also regarded them as the ownership of some unlucky company in the wilderness. However, after Asgard lost contact with the escort, it was soon found that the team was stranded near Phoenix. So the transportation management department reported the matter, and then transferred it to Asgard's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Phoenix's high-level contacts, and Phoenix took control of the incident first, waiting for the people from the Yingling Hall to take over.
In cities in the coastline area, Death Ridge is the dividing line. Cities or bases north of Death Ridge have turned to the Dark Council for shelter. However, the cities and bases south of Death Ridge are in a relatively loose state, and only a small part of them have to rely on the Dark Parliament to survive. More than that, like Phoenix, Titan City and Remte, have independent executive power.
Of course, the dark parliament is not a magnanimous organization. Starting from the concept of "controlling all resources in hand", it is difficult for the parliament to let these cities have their own resources and develop independently. But in these cities, there are * people in the wilderness, or there is a commercial and even military "communication" with Asgard.
For this reason, under the interference of the Yingling Hall, the dark parliament can only give up. After all, the Dark Parliament does not want to have a full war with the Yingling Hall in a short time, so it is necessary to maintain superficial peace.
Although Phoenix is not a * person from the Yingling Hall, from military to biochemical research, the city has a close relationship with the Yingling Hall, so it can be regarded as an ally. To this end, Phoenix attached great importance to the hijacking of the supplies and vehicle of the Yingling Hall, and appointed George, a senior officer, as the main person in charge of assisting the Yingling Hall in resolving the hijacking incident.
Otherwise, George would not have stayed in the camp in the wild for nearly five days.
He drank the rest of the coffee. At this time, a soldier came in from outside the camp and reported, "Sariff, the people from the Yingling Hall have arrived!"
"Finally here." George threw away the paper.
The officer strode out of the tent and parked the supplies vehicle of the Yingling Hall and the escort SUV not far from the tent. At present, both cars have surrounded Phoenix soldiers with barbed wire and set up sentries.
George raised his eyes and saw two trucks coming from the west. The truck came near the camp and stopped slowly, followed by the Asgard soldiers in night god tactical suits who jumped down from the back of the truck. George's eyes suddenly lit up when his eyes swept among the soldiers. A soldier with a blindfold in his right eye, black hair fluttering gently in the wind, and a handsome soldier appeared in George's eyes.
"Damn it, when did this boy run to the Yingling Hall?" When George saw Zero, an old face couldn't help smiling.
