Drop, drop, drop.

"The radiation pollution of the water here is not that serious, within the range that can be purified." The silver-black robot Genava crouched beside a stream flowing through the black earth and completed the inspection.

The weeds here are dense and long, green almost as far as the eye can see, but they are not exaggerated compared to areas with more severe radiation pollution - where the grass is often close to half a person's height, and you can see It is not uncommon for wild green onions to approach three meters.

Although a similar environment is not a key criterion for judging pollution, it can help relic hunters make preliminary judgments at a longer distance and reduce the difficulty of screening.

"Finally..." Long Yuehong breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing Genova's words.

One of the most serious and realistic issues in venturing into the North Shore wasteland is access to water resources.

Here, many water sources are seriously polluted and exceed the capabilities of the water purification chip. If you drink it forcibly, you may not be poisoned. However, subsequent diseases and even distortions are all highly likely.

Because of this, in addition to carrying weapons and food, relic hunters traveling to and from the North Shore wasteland will also prepare water purification chips to master the distribution of lightly polluted water sources.

The "Old Tuning Team" is being wanted and cannot go to many places. They can only rely on Zeng Duo's experience, Jiang Baimian's knowledge, and Genawa's pollution detection to find new water sources.

Under the circumstance that there was not much drinking water left, they finally got a harvest after failing again and again.

In the emotion, Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and others put the stream water into the corresponding container and rely on the water purification chip to start the treatment.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"Judging from the current situation, there are about two companies of the 'First City' regular army guarding Chuchun Town. They usually take turns in platoons to patrol the surrounding areas, pretending to be drills, to prevent relic hunters or wilderness wanderers from approaching Chuchun. town…

"Preliminary speculation is that one company stayed behind and one company patrolled..."

The "Old Tune Team" learned from the relic hunters who entered the North Anhford area during this time by "making friends" after disguising, and learned the time, place and specific details of their encounter with the "First City" regular army.

With this information, it is much easier to analyze the enemy's situation.

For example, it is judged that there are only two companies in the garrison because those relic hunters have only encountered so many people back and forth, and they often encounter familiar faces after a few times.

"They have at least two tanks, two armored vehicles, six drones, heavy machine guns, individual rockets, and grenade guns. As for the awakened people and genetically modified people, they can't be seen on the surface, so there's no way to speculate... "Jiang Baimian briefly introduced the situation, and finally said, "Only with this level of understanding, I don't think it is a good idea to act now. What we want to rescue is a town. Once it is trapped and surrounded, there is no corresponding It's no joke that the entire army was wiped out."

Her words made both Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo silent.

This is not because they think that what Xue Yueyue, who is nicknamed "Dabai", is wrong, on the contrary, it is so right, which makes them a little frustrated.

Genova already analyzed the results and asked tentatively:

"Old Han, what was your previous action plan? Say it for reference, it may bring inspiration."

Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong almost raised their hands to cover their faces. They forgot to stop this robot with a worrying emotional intelligence.

Han Wanghuo's lips moved a few times, and Yin said a little embarrassedly:

"We haven't had time to formulate an action plan."

In his expectation, didn't he just touch the vicinity of Chuchun Town, take advantage of the night, make a wave of surprise attacks, and then cooperate with the inside and outside, get out of the siege, and go to the "Land of Hope" that Zeng Duo chose

If you can't succeed, you won't be able to live for long anyway, you just need to use your life to cover the retreat of your teammates.

As a former Redstone Sheriff and captain of the town guard, Han Wanghuo didn't know that this plan was full of loopholes, but with the resources and his own strength, he could only do it to this extent.

In order to prevent Genova from further inquiries, Long Yuehong tentatively asked Zeng Duo:

"Is there an authentic place in Chuchun Town?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shang Jianyao's laughter, and his heart suddenly froze, feeling that he had overlooked something and was about to be laughed at.

Jiang Baimian said as usual:

"In the early days, this was a good idea, but the 'First City' has been controlling Chuchun Town for several months. With their resources and capabilities, they should not be able to figure out the situation in this regard. Our choice of tunnels is almost equal to our own. Throw the net."

When Long Yuehong said to himself "yes, too", Zeng Duo answered his previous question:

"No way.

"For us, the town is the last resort. Without it, it is more dangerous. There is no need to dig tunnels."

In the wasteland of the north shore, there are many "unintentional people" and deformed creatures, and it is not so safe to open the exit of the tunnel. In comparison, when a crisis occurs, the people of the whole town fight and retreat, and evacuate in batches. Good choice.

"Is there a river around the town? Is there a mountain nearby?" Bai Chen joined the discussion.

"What do you want to do?" Shang Jianyao looked "fearful".

Bai Chen did not hide his thoughts:

"Man-made natural disasters create opportunities."

"There are only small rivers and streams around the town. It is on the edge of the hills and there are no mountains." Zeng Duo's answer made Bai Chen's proposal go bankrupt before it could be refined.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"For things like man-made natural disasters, the degree of damage is difficult to control. It's not that there is no other way. Try not to try."

Having said that, she sighed:

"The most important question right now is not how to rescue Chuchun Town, it's something that needs to be considered in the future. We can formulate an effective plan only after we figure out the situation of the regular army in the 'First City'.

"My biggest worry is that this matter is presided over by an Awakener at the level of the 'Spiritual Corridor' or a deformer of the corresponding level, and the level of trouble will skyrocket.

"Also, those two companies may have a few military exoskeletons, or bionic smart armor."

With the equipment possessed by the "Old Tuned Team" and the strength shown by the early spring guards, they dare not say that they are very sure.

But the problem is that the opponent's surface is not necessarily all the strength.

Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo, who have been popularized by the "Old Tune Group" about what the "Spiritual Corridor" is, both became very solemn.

If the experiment of "First City" in Chuchun Town was not so important, Jiang Baimian's concerns would not arise, but if the experiment involved a lot, it was almost a high probability that a strong person would preside over it.

"How can I figure out these situations? I can't contact people in the town at all." Zeng Duo didn't hide his worries.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao sighed:

"It's all because of the timidity of those relic hunters."

"Ah?" Not only Long Yuehong, but also Han Wanghuo, Zeng Duo and others couldn't understand.

Jiang Baimian smiled and helped explain:

"What he means is that those relic hunters will retreat as soon as they encounter the regular army of the 'First City', and have no idea of going deeper.

"In that case, there will be no conflict, and no conflict means that the regular army of the 'First City' will not be able to show its true strength.

"Well, if there are awakeners at the level of 'Spiritual Corridor', they must stay in Chuchun Town, monitor the surrounding area of several hundred meters, and will not go out to patrol..."

If I were a relic hunter, if I had no stake in it, I wouldn't have a conflict with the big forces... Besides, those regular troops are platoons, with thirty or forty people acting together, and their weapons and equipment are very sophisticated. How dare the relic hunter team offend them? They only worry about being forcibly identified as robbers and looting property... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

"Let's try to play against a patrol?" Han Wanghuo offered his own suggestion.

Jiang Baimian pondered a little, then laughed:

"That's the way of thinking, but there's a better way.

"If you don't come forward in person for this kind of thing, you won't come forward in person, so as not to startle the snake."

Without waiting for Han Wanghuo to ask again, she looked at Zeng Duo:

"In the North Anheford area, and the surrounding area, what powerful robber groups are there? Where do they often haunt?"

"You want to drive the bandits to attack those regular troops?" Han Wanghe asked with understanding, "but how could they do such a thing..."

Han Wanghuo's voice became lower, as if he had remembered something, as did the similar muttering in Long Yuehong's heart.

"They are very easy to get along with and are very persuasive." Shang Jianyao showed a kind smile.

Jiang Baimian also laughed:

"Sometimes it's not up to them."

For some unknown reason, Zeng Duo silently mourned for those bandits at this moment.

She quickly came to her senses and tried her best to find possible targets from her memory.

This gave her a feeling of picking "unlucky ones".
