The desert wind was very noisy at night. Accompanied by the shining stars in the sky, an off-road vehicle left two deep wheel marks on the sand dunes. They headed south towards their destination.
A whirlwind blew up in the desert at night, blowing up the yellow sand high up in gusts, like thick smoke rising from the ground, hitting the car body and the faces of the passengers.
Tuba, whose facial features were tightly covered with a scarf, coughed, spit out the sand in his mouth, and turned to look at the clown next to him.
"Hey, are you sure it's okay for us to drive over like this? I'm afraid we'll just walk into an ambush."
"What? We're not in the outer circle yet, so there's no danger? You better remember it right. I don't want to be used as a guinea pig. I'm still a child."
"Shut up!" Anna, who was always alert and observing her surroundings, scolded in a low voice.
After Tuba stuck out his tongue, the SUV suddenly became quiet, but the silence did not last long.
About half an hour later, a hint of white appeared on the dark horizon, and daybreak was about to begin.
When the sun jumped up from the horizon, the temperature, which was so low that you had to wear a down jacket just now, began to rise rapidly.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the temperature in the desert was unbearably hot. The golden sand was baked so hot that you could fry eggs in it. The thermometer outside was approaching 45 degrees. We could not move forward under such circumstances.
Even if people can bear this situation, car tires cannot.
The car drove to the depression between the sand dunes, and a tent the same color as the sand was set up to block the scorching sun for Anna and the others as well as the car.
Of course you can't make a fire in a place like this, so just eat some simple food and drink some mineral water.
Anna picked up a piece of compressed biscuit and took a bite. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly and she cursed inwardly that it was so disgusting.
Anna took a big bite and sat cross-legged on the blanket, chewing while analyzing the map spread on the ground.
There are two maps, one large and one small. The large one is the overall map of the desert, and the other is the floor plan of the so-called Site 66, both of which were drawn by the Joker. He remembered it so clearly only because one of his former hosts had escaped from here.
There is nothing interesting about the desert map. The coordinates on it were located with the help of Wang Jianshe, and the route and coordinates are clearly marked. The key is the other map.
The so-called Site 66, which is used to detain humans affected by abnormalities, is built underground, just like the previous polar sites.
If I had to describe it, it looks a bit like an upside-down pyramid. The layout is also similar to previous polar stations.
The top floor is where the staff rest and live, and the lower floors are used for detention and treatment. The lower down you go, the more severely the humans are affected by the anomaly.
"If possible, use my ability to pass through walls to get Wang Sheng out. If this doesn't work, then let's do a big one, just like before, and get all the trouble out."
The main purpose this time was to find Wang Sheng and exchange Charles' position with Wang Jianshe, but Anna actually had another goal in mind that she didn't say out loud.
If everyone in this site is affected by the anomaly, does that mean that some of them are members of other organizations that are against the IMF
If that is the case, there is no need for me to fight alone. It is unrealistic to fight the entire IMF on my own.
Even though the Foundation is not the only one in control of the affairs of the Earthsea, Anna believes that the same is true on the surface. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she can cooperate with them.
Anna thought about this and looked up at Li Lu. "You told me before that some people in those cults you used to infiltrate worshipped abnormalities as gods, right?"
"Haha, if they are really so weak, then why does the IMF still spend money to carefully feed you people?"
Anna walked up to her, tucked a strand of hair from Li Lu's eyes behind her ear, and then put her lips to her ear and whispered, "Also, you'd better correct your attitude. Don't forget which side you are on now."
Seeing a drop of sweat sliding down Li Lu's face, Anna smiled slightly, grabbed the mineral water in her hand and drank it.
The sun in the sky was still scorching, but Anna and the others began to sleep, and the task of vigilance was left to the clown who did not need sleep.
As the fireball in the sky slowly moved westward, Anna woke up, wrapped herself in thick clothes, and started again.
After alternating day and night, on the fifth day of their departure, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Site 66. With the Joker's reminder, Anna knew there was an ambush here, but this did not pose a problem for her.
As Anna swam in the yellow sand like a mermaid, all the mines and various sensors inside were pushed away by her.
There was still some distance left to Station 66, but Anna didn't plan to drive there as it would be too conspicuous.
It was three o'clock in the morning, the most suitable time for a surprise attack.
She got out of the car and hung the swaddled Tuba around her waist. She took off the clown mask and put it in her pocket. Then she turned to Li Lu and said, "Watch the car and wait for us to come back."
"What's the point of taking a baby over there? Why don't you leave him here? How about I go with you?" It was obvious that what would happen next would be very dangerous, and Li Lu didn't want her son to be in danger.
Anna then dragged out two large suitcases from the trunk of the car. When she opened them, she saw several wrinkled corpses stuffed inside. These were what she had asked Wang Jianshe to prepare for her.
She squatted down and reached out to start piecing these things together. "Your son can be very useful. Maybe he doesn't remember anything now, but he will definitely know it in the future. Maybe he can provide me with some help in the future."
Pulling on the adhered skin, bones and internal organs, they were pieced together into four human-shaped bodies.
With their bones and organs exposed, they staggered to their feet, grabbed the guns at the bottom of the box and began to load them, and stuffed the remaining magazines and grenades into their bodies.
Unless these things are in groups, their combat power is very useless and they are only slightly stronger than normal people.
However, in the absence of other subordinates, he can still be used as cannon fodder.
"Anna, can you make me a doll when we get back? If I put a cartoon doll coat on them, they will be very cute."
Faced with Tuba's nonsense, Anna did not answer, but sneaked silently with these things.
They kept their heads down and moved forward carefully in the darkness, walking for several kilometers.
When they climbed over a sand dune, Anna finally saw the so-called Site 66.
