The rain poured down, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
A self-contained combat squad hurried along a muddy trail, every one of them looking as if they'd been rolling in the muck.
Yanzhou's infrastructure was extremely backward. Apart from a few major roads, the paths were mostly dirt tracks. The farther they got from the cities, the worse the roads became. Other than tracked vehicles, most vehicles could barely get through.

Plutonium was a radioactive element, an important raw material in the nuclear energy industry—and highly toxic.
After countless experiments on the "Void Demons," researchers had discovered that this high-energy radioactive substance could inflict tremendous damage on them. Even when they were
