At dusk, a convoy of off-road vehicles drove out of Central City. They formed a long line and moved at a steady speed across the barren plain.
The two or three vehicles at the front belonged to the city guard, led by Ji Minzhang. They were Central City's main fighting force. Their levels and strength might not be the highest, but they were certainly rich in combat experience.
District 026 was so barren it looked like a fish on the verge of drying out. Nothing grew on the ground, not even grass, and no insects crawled there. They were unlikely to encounter snakes, bugs, rats, or wild animals nearby, so their primary duty was to guard against other cities.
District 026 had no mature supply chains, and obtaining resources in other districts was dangerous and expensive. As a result, players from some cities sometimes robbed exploration teams or transport convoys sent out by other cities.
Of course, Central City had sent out twenty vehicles today, each packed with people. There was no chance of them being robbed... Besides, the people planning to rob them were already sitting in the vehicles.
Da Jiang and Kang Miao, along with the more than thirty people they had brought, had all squeezed in among Central City's players, except for a dozen or so who had left early using items. For safety, they had been scattered among different vehicles.
