"Then you go talk, we’ll go ahead first."
Chen Jian flipped onto the cat vehicle, and the others followed suit.
Without needing any extra commands, Shen Yue had already launched the drone, and after a brief reconnaissance, the location of the Horror Demon Camp was quickly locked in.
The two cat vehicles drove side by side, speeding along the direction Zeng Yi indicated.
Although the road condition wasn’t exactly great, according to the map, it was, after all, a provincial highway.
After bypassing a few stretches of road covered by the jungle, Chen Jian could already see the Horror Demon Camp ahead.
It looked almost identical to the camp he had seen near Han Shui.
Simple low houses, bloodstains everywhere, the stench of decaying corpses, bones made into totems...
Several Horror Demons were playing a killing game in the middle of the camp. Probably a few days ago, a woman kidnapped from Caohe Town was stripped and tied on a wooden frame.
Every cavity of her body had been penetrated by rusted metal.
She was beyond saving.
Chen Jian sighed heavily, but at the same time, he cast aside all reservations.
Before the Terror Demons discovered the squad, he said to a team member beside him:
"Li Shi, put on your armor and helmet, grab your 301, and charge forward."
"He Shuo, you’re in charge of shooting."
"Xie Liu, follow behind Li Shi, provide cover and clean up."
"Let’s go, quick and decisive!"
Twenty minutes later, Ji Xing walked out of the residential area in Caohe Town, weighed down with thoughts.
Her mind was still processing what she’d just heard.
The rising sun, the violent explosion, the fierce wind almost igniting the rooftops, the quake-like tremors, the Guard Brigade that ’evaporated’ rather than vanished, the endless forest fires...
To her, these things seemed almost too incredible, she even wondered if the residents of Caohe Town had coincidentally had the same nightmare.
But evidently, that was impossible...
----If the Huaxia Army in Yellow Stone City truly possessed such strength, wouldn’t that mean they could even kill a Level 1 Monster?
If they could kill a Level 1 Monster, wouldn’t that mean they might indeed be able to enter Mountain City?
At that moment, the trace of reluctance in her heart vanished into smoke.
Ji Xing suddenly felt that decisively tying Bai Xu to throw him to the Huaxia Army was the most correct decision she’d made in her life...
She lifted her head to look outside the town, where those Yellow Stone People she regarded as ’Gods of Death’ still stood.
However, curiously, two of the Holy Blood had a bit of blood on them.
Ji Xing walked closer in confusion, then asked:
"You all... what’s happened?"
"Handled some business."
Chen Jian casually replied, and Zeng Yi, who had just returned from the town, asked:
"Resolved, there were only about twenty-odd Terror Demons, not too many."
"Li Shi improved rapidly, barely wasted any ammo."
"Xie Liu also found some new leads---the Terror Demons here are indeed connected to Huadu and Anqing."
"I’ll sync it to you on the road later."
Zeng Yi nodded, continuing:
"The negotiations with Caohe Town have been settled, they’ll depart in the afternoon. If possible, they want to trade with us directly in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jian waved his hand and replied:
"No problem, it’s a small matter. Contact Huang Yu and let him arrange it."
"Understood, then I’ll..."
Ji Xing interrupted Zeng Yi, then asked in astonishment:
"You cleared a Horror Demon Camp??"
"Just during the time I went in??"
Chen Jian nodded, matter-of-factly responding:
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"It was just a handy task..."
