Chapter 5697 Before Traveling
On the snow-covered road, an armed convoy moved forward slowly.
Every one of the gathering soldiers sitting in the car was fully armed and looked around with serious expressions.
"Captain Bai Feng, would you like a cigarette of moss?"
A soldier held a pipe, approached the gray-haired captain, and asked with a smile.
"Okay, take a sip!"
The captain took it with a smile, took a strong sip, feeling the smell of smoke when the dry moss was burning, and a blush appeared on his face.
“Enough!”
With a sigh of appreciation, the captain sent the pipe back without intending to take another sip.
"It's almost dawn..."
The white-haired captain raised his head and looked at the bright sky with a look of reminiscence.
The morning light dews slightly, and the day is approaching.
The long and icy polar night is finally coming to an end, and the waiting has been like a year.
Bai Feng experienced three polar nights in the Lost City.
The first two long polar nights did not have many good memories, but instead brought unbearable pain.
He starved in the dark, endured various tortures, and almost lost his life.
Many familiar lost people never appeared again after the polar night passed.
He is able to survive until now because of his ruthlessness and better luck than others.
He lived very comfortably during the third polar night.
Due to lack of food, he was not thrown into a dark basement to suffer, and finally died quietly in silence.
I have enough to eat every day, wear thick clothes, and have excellent equipment that is even more valuable.
But in the early days of the polar night, he did almost die.
During the process of robbing the spirit stone, he was seriously injured by a flying monster, and then was thrown into the snow to die.
The moment he was about to freeze to death, Lord Tang Zhen suddenly appeared and snatched him back from the hands of death.
Not only did he save his life, help treat his illness and injuries, but he also provided a comfortable life for the lost people.
The benefits I enjoy are something I never dared to think about in the past.
In this polar night where the outside world was cold but the heart felt hot, he and his companions not only lived a good life, but also each mastered different skills.
Some people have become craftsmen, and others have become chefs, and they have performed well in their respective positions.
The lost are not stupid, they just have no opportunity to learn and no place to express themselves.
In the Loucheng gathering place, they lived a different and wonderful life, and each one was full of enthusiasm.
Bai Feng led the team out this time and collected many spirit stone boxes and many messy and worn-out items.
Most of the items come from the abandoned lair of the Dark Shura clan. There are too many things buried there, and they are regarded as treasures by many members of the gathering place.
In recent times, whenever a team goes out on patrol, they will inevitably visit the monster lair.
Look for a suitable location and dig carefully, and you will always get satisfactory results.
It is a pity that this kind of manpower mining is too inefficient, otherwise we will definitely gain more.
Someone reported this matter to the lord, hoping to find a solution.
In the eyes of the members in the gathering, Tang Zhen is an omnipotent being who can definitely solve all problems.
When Bai Feng went out, he heard that the matter had been resolved and a new type of excavation equipment had been manufactured.
It won’t take long for logistics troops to go to the ruins and be responsible for excavation of the ruins.
Leaving such excavation work to professionals will be more efficient.
As soldiers, their main tasks are to guard and fight, not to dig up ruins.
This happens mainly because the area has been cleaned up and fighting rarely occurs during patrols.
Another reason is that the members in the gathering place want to get more spirit stones. Not only can they get monetary rewards, but they can also increase the inventory of spirit stone rockets.
Having seen the power of spirit stone rockets, many lost people in Loucheng gathering places suffer from the phobia of insufficient firepower. They always try their best to obtain enough spirit stones and contribute to increasing the inventory of spirit stone rockets.
Not long after, the patrol convoy drove into the gathering place and stopped in front of this green plant.
The soldiers jumped out of the car one after another, stretched their cold bodies, and took off the heavy coats they were wearing.
The warm air in the gathering place is in sharp contrast to the cold outside world. This is also the main reason why many lost people linger here and are unwilling to leave easily.
“Send the spirit stones to the underground warehouse and hand over other materials to the logistics department and let them send people to clean them up.”
“You guys take a rest, then sort out your personal belongings and wait for new ones. The order was issued.”
After giving a few instructions, Bai Feng walked to an isolated area where supervisors and officers held meetings.
While waiting, people continued to arrive at the scene, and no one among the managers of the gathering place was absent.
It can be determined by the scale that something big must have happened, otherwise a meeting of this scale would not be easily held.
Although the meeting has not yet started, everyone has already guessed the content and their moods are also different.
Some people are full of expectations, others are reluctant to give up, but most people have calm faces.
They had received the news before and made preparations in advance.
After waiting for a while, the meeting officially started.
Tang Zhen announced in public that he would leave the gathering place and head west in one hundred hours.
I chose to go west because through investigation, I found that there were more gatherings in that direction.
The answer to what you want to investigate may be found there.
The meeting was not long and ended in less than ten minutes, but everyone had plans.
The continuous migration and movement of tens of thousands of members is not a simple matter.
If proper arrangements are not made, various accidents will inevitably occur, and may even cause the entire action plan to fail.
In the past period of time, the gathering place has been studying and training. The purpose is to enhance discipline, understand the majesty of military law, and know the differences of the Loucheng gathering place.
The news spread quickly and all departments were busy.
The RVs that had been built before were neatly lined up in a long line, filled with various supplies.
Although there is a large amount of storage equipment allocated inside the gathering place, not everything is suitable to be placed there.
Members at the gathering place have packed their personal belongings and are ready to set off at any time.
At this time, another large device appeared inside the gathering place. It looked like a humanoid mecha.
The rune cylinder buried in the ground was easily dug out, and it shattered with just a pinch.
The remaining spiritual stones inside are sorted and taken out to reduce unnecessary waste.
But as a result, the rune circle stopped functioning.
The light pillar guarding the gathering place slowly disappeared under the gaze of everyone, and waves of cold wind blew in their faces.
Those delicate plants are shivering in the icy cold wind, and they will freeze into lumps of ice soon.
In the Lost City, if you want to get warmth, you have to pay a high price.
This rune array that creates strong light and brings warmth requires a large amount of spiritual stones to be maintained.
Even if it is not demolished, it will not last long. Sooner or later, the gathering place will be covered with ice and snow again.
Since the ending cannot be changed, just take the initiative to destroy it, which can also reduce some consumption.
Many gathering members carefully broke off plants and flowers and put them inside their clothes in an attempt to preserve them.
In the cold and dark environment, these bright green colors bring spiritual comfort to the lost.
They were very reluctant to part with it, so they chose to take it away, hoping to keep this light with them.
Those magical weapons and equipment specially refined by Tang Zhen to deal with the cold outdoors were in continuous operation.
Before leaving the gathering place, you must be proficient in operating these magic weapons, and you must use them frequently during the rest of your journey.
The purpose of dismantling the rune circle is to allow the lost people to adapt in advance and know what life will be like in the future.
