Chapter 186 Plot Nodes, Contact (3 More)
This is not considered offending the Oil City.
Mercenaries took money to do business, while Cloud only received a tear of the sun.
Regardless of whether the encirclement and suppression is successful or not, the Oil City will not make a big fuss about this and cause trouble for a few mercenaries.
The march was boring. Although many monsters were killed along the way, they were a little far away. Link basically did not recover the energy point.
He was not in a hurry either.
Following the course of this action, it is a good opportunity to earn energy points in vain after entering the mountain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could still observe the situation in the encirclement team at close range, and his mentality that he had originally looked down on the wilderness world disappeared.
The mercenaries have different equipment, most of which are expert-level, high-end, and high-quality products are not uncommon.
The equipment of base soldiers also started at the middle and high school level at the expert level, and some officers and powerful soldiers with high status even used works by quasi-masters.
Of course, there are quasi-master-made equipment at the Oil City base, so it is not surprising that it is used to arm the backbone personnel.
What shocked Link was that nearly a thousand soldiers were equipped with standard expert equipment, which was completely different from the mercenaries.
Standard equipment with stable performance and little difference is very convenient for use, maintenance and ammunition replenishment.
This is very important for large-scale combat, otherwise the ammunition supplement can cause the logistics personnel and frontline combatants to collapse.
As long as there are a few extraordinary people with reasonable professional skills and leading one or two hundred well-trained soldiers, it is enough to threaten Link's life safety.
It seems that you need to be more careful when dealing with these large bases. He thought so in his mind.
...
After half a day, the encirclement team with a population of about 1,500 people finally arrived at the entrance of the mountain and camped for a night of rest.
After dawn, 200 soldiers from the Petroleum City stayed in the camp, saying that they were used as a support, but in fact they blocked the mountain pass, preventing large outside troops from entering, and preventing the mercenaries from escaping.
Both sides know this very well.
The mercenaries were full of disdain.
For them, these soldiers were all a group of soft-boys, sissy-looking dogs, and without the support of the oil city, they were a group of trash.
The soldiers were indifferent, or they didn't care: a group of wild dogs who ate scavenging, just cannon fodder that would be destined to give some leftovers of soup and rice. They thought it was amazing, and it was hard to say how many of them could survive this time.
The encirclement team with a left-out 1,000 people quickly entered the mountain.
At this time, the game customer service sent another bright red reminder: "Dignified privileged user 00001, you have officially entered a special plot node (Fear Eye Demon Map). The plot time is 48 hours. The complete defeat of the Eye Rubik's Cube can end the plot. Currently, you can enter 2 times."
Link paused, and after a moment of crazy twist in his mind, he found Claude and Gene to reconfirm the information, but there was nothing more useful.
The target of the encirclement this time, the fear eye demon is said to be an extremely huge black and white tentacle monster, with many eyes on the body and tentacles.
Moreover, it will release a faint mist and spread outward, making the surroundings cold. The decay of various items accelerates, which is equivalent to a huge source of pollution.
However, this monster doesn't like the hot and dry environment and stays in this mountainous area instead of the plains outside.
Link felt that these descriptions were a bit familiar when he heard them at first. Isn’t it very much like the black giant tree in Chicago?
But he had asked a long time ago that the Fear Eye Demon is not a big tree, and even the appearance is not very similar, and generally it looks a little more like an octopus.
Usually it is not on the ground, but on the ground, and when it comes out, it looks like a giant multi-legged mushroom.
The main body of this eye demon is basically grayish-white, with only a small amount of black, and the eyes are similar to humans, with black pupils and white eyelids.
Monsters like ogres, long tongue monsters, and giant power monsters have some similarities in the wilderness world, but they are not around the fear eye demons.
The monsters around this Boss are all the lowest level than the long-tongued monster. A small number is much more powerful than the giant demon, otherwise they would have been besieged by humans and turned into scum.
There is no thick fog wall in this area, at least humans in the wilderness have never seen this thing.
The fog released by the Eye Demon is not thick fog, it is quite thin, but the range can exceed one thousand kilometers, but the farther it is, the less affected it will be.
Recently, the Eye Demon has become very active and the fog has begun to spread outward, which has a significant impact on the weather at the Claude family.
Link left the base a few days ago and felt the weather was a little gloomy and thought it was because of a sandstorm.
In fact, it is because the fog has been strengthened a little, so that the changes can be noticed clearly when looking at the sky, and it is not easy to detect within a few hundred meters visible to the naked eye.
The oil city base is even cloudy for almost a month, but it doesn’t rain.
When I arrived at the mountain pass, the sky was as gloomy as if it was cloudy. I felt like a big stone was pressing on my heart, and I felt so stuffy.
Regarding this situation, Link always felt a bit like returning to the wall of thick fog.
I remembered that when the Doomsday Game first opened the wilderness world, I said that the secret of destruction in the real world is here and he needs to explore it.
The special plot task that was suddenly triggered this time was on the node where he attacked the black giant tree, and now he received a prompt to officially enter the plot node and deal with the Eye Demon.
It would be too far-fetched to say that there is nothing to do with the two.
In addition, what does the number of accesses mean?
In this way, the security and fault tolerance rate of the previous plan were too low, so it had to be modified. After thinking about it for a while, he began to send messages to Claude's terminal.
There were mercenaries everywhere around, and Link didn't want to be heard by these war hyenas.
Claude looked at the information on the terminal and looked subtle: Fake! Are you too exaggerated? Why do you feel more cowardly and shameless than Gene? But... I took half the price, of course I can't die.
Survival is always the greatest instinct of mankind.
A lofty faith can make people die, but isn't Claude not there?
At this moment, the straightforward Claude finally lost to the businessman Claude.
= No future, no daughter, no friends, = Have a future, have a daughter or even grandson.
...
Next, Claude did not participate in the battle and even pulled Gene to his side, calling it a saving of physical strength.
The other mercenaries didn't say anything.
These two are the absolute main players of the attack on the Fear Eye Demon, and it is indeed not suitable to waste physical strength before the final battle.
Their communication did not attract much attention either, before the war, wasn't it normal for old partners to negotiate tactics?
Not to mention Link and the other two's small abacus, the team still moved forward according to the plan.
There are more than twenty vanguards in front of them, including those on the soldier side and those on the mercenary side.
All intelligence will be transmitted to the commander of the Oil City team, and he has several veteran mercenaries around him to receive information simultaneously.
Link observed all this silently, feeling very reference-based.
This is a world that has been in the end of the world for many years, and this is a way of getting along with each other in which teams do not trust each other.
Can you really win if you fight like this? Link doesn't know.
But he wouldn't think he must be smarter than the people on both sides.
