Chapter 322 Difficulty (1st update)
In the northern part of Qilong Plain, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
Piles of bonfires were lit. It was too cold and the means of heating were limited, so I couldn't care less.
At this time, Su Mo, Lin Zino and the others were sitting together.
Lin Zino is making some homemade paste soup, which means boiling compressed biscuits, otherwise it will be really difficult to swallow. Compressed biscuits are originally very hard, and when the temperature drops, they become as hard as rocks.
"When will these miserable days end?"
Lin Zinuo complained while enduring it. They had been resting in this forest for almost two days.
"Stop complaining. Although we are temporarily safe now, it is equivalent to running to the enemy's base camp. Now we must be extremely careful every step we take. Everything will wait for the instructions of Commander Xiao Wen. If I guessed correctly, he should have sent someone to Detected nearby.”
Su Mo picked up the branches and kept adding more.
"You think I want to complain, the main reason is that we are going to run out of food."
Lin Zinuo said with a crying face.
When Su Mo heard Lin Zinuo's words, the hand holding the branch froze in place.
“Is there really nothing to eat?”
"Why did I lie to you? You have forgotten. Although our group has been transformed into a combat group, we are used to doing logistics, and we control many supplies. When we crossed the river, we tried our best to bring them, but most of them were still Throw it away. By the way, don’t ask for it from Xiao Wen and others, they probably eat less than us.”
Lin Zino filled a bowl and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it and drank the soup in silence.
At this time Qian Chengxue also came over and sat down directly.
"Sister Xue, let me serve you a bowl."
Lin Zino diligently served Qian Chengxue a bowl.
"Thank you."
Qian Chengxue took it, blew it a little and took a sip,
Su Mo thought for a while, then turned to ask Qian Chengxue: "How is the situation? What are your plans next."
"I just came back from a meeting with Xiao Wen. The situation is not optimistic. Due to the shortage of food, medicine and other supplies, the 16th Army has begun to experience attrition. And now the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the next The operation will become increasingly difficult. The area we are currently in is not far from the mountain fortress city occupied by the enemy. If we act rashly, we may be exposed and surrounded by the opponent, so we have not yet considered what to do next.”
Qian Chengxue simply explained to Su Mo.
"Then we can't sit still and wait for death. How about I go to investigate and see where there are weaker strongholds nearby? I can remove one first and get some supplies."
Su Mo suggested.
"Wait a moment, Xiao Wen has already sent Ma Qi and the others out."
Qian Chengxue thought for a while and replied.
Su Mo raised his head and looked at the gray sky, and said: "I feel that a snowstorm is coming, the weather will become worse and worse, and we will not have much time left."
"Yeah."
Qian Chengxue agreed with Su Mo's words. As far as she knew, Xiao Wen's army released many micro reconnaissance drones, but most of them were destroyed.
"Sister Xue, then we shouldn't have to run away non-stop, right?"
Sun Li asked worriedly.
"Nine times out of ten that's the case."
"Ah, that's too frustrating."
"If you think about it from another perspective, you won't feel aggrieved. We ran into the enemy's hinterland, and the enemy was probably more nervous than us. If they wanted to encircle and suppress us, they would need to mobilize a large amount of manpower and weapons. Xiao Wen meant to maximize Play your part and don’t give up on yourself easily, even if Now we basically cannot defeat their regular troops, but we must try our best to hold them back, cause them trouble and reduce some pressure on the troops on the front battlefield. After all, we are no longer fighting for ourselves, but for others. Fight for the country.”
"Well, we understand, we are actually valuable."
Sun Li thought for a moment and replied.
Lin Zinuo said with a strange expression: "Sister Sun, why do I feel that your statement sounds so awkward."
"No way."
At this time, Chen Shan came over and said with a smile.
"I'll join in too."
Su Mo moved a little to make room for Chen Shan.
"Chen Shan, what do you think is the probability of Tianlong Guild winning in Qilong Plains?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"Want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth."
"Thirty percent!"
"The odds are a bit low."
Su Mo shook his head.
"It's still low. Let me tell you, this chance of winning is amazing. Don't look at how many guilds we are facing, a total of twenty-three! As long as we have one-fifth of the opponent's allies, Not so passive.”
Chen Shan said with deep emotion.
"What are the consequences if you lose."
Su Mo asked immediately.
"There is no need to fight the Cup of Earth. You can raise your hands and surrender. We have too many troops here."
Chen Shan replied directly without thinking.
Qian Chengxue hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master Chen Shan, is the Dragon Praying City really that important? What is in it?"
"Actually, I shouldn't have told you this, but you are all people I trust, so it doesn't hurt to reveal a little bit to you. This city of praying for dragons is the largest base city of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom is the country with the largest destruction of the planet. , it is said that the most advanced point of the Dragon Kingdom may be hidden inside. With technological weapons and complete logs of this world, we can figure out how this world's civilization was destroyed and what to do next. Let me tell you this, whoever can take down the Dragon Praying City will most likely be the one. The final winner of the Earth Cup.”
Chen Shan said seriously.
"What about the land of black water?"
Su Mo thought for a moment and asked.
"Well. There seems to be a giant base there, but the scale is still a little smaller than here. You have to think about it, the things that the Free Victory Guild is targeting must be the best. Their dog noses are so sensitive! And they have a close relationship with the Myth Guild. The relationship is very good, you all know it.”
Chen Shan explained with some embarrassment.
"Oh, I see. It makes sense, haha!"
Sun Li and others were amused by Chen Shan.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Lin Yue hurried over.
"Master Chen Shan, Miss Qian Chengxue, you are here."
"What happened?"
Chen Shan and Qian Chengxue looked at Lin Yue in confusion. Wasn't the meeting going well just now?
"The latest intelligence just obtained from offline, the enemy has surrounded the main force of Tianlong Guild and launched a large-scale siege! Commander Xiao Wen asked you all to hurry over and discuss countermeasures."
Lin Yue said anxiously.
"Okay!"
Chen Shan and Qian Chengxue stood up immediately.
Su Mo thought for a moment and then said: "I'll go too."
Soon a few of them arrived at the temporarily parked command vehicle. Xiao Wen had his hands behind his back and a look of anxiety on his face.
"Is the situation serious?"
This was the first time that Chen Shan saw Xiao Wen being so out of control. (End of chapter)
