He then looked at the others. "For the rest of the martial arts masters, please choose to follow the Lei Lie martial arts master according to your own situation, or form your own team of 2-3 people, enter from other directions, and be responsible for the base station deployment and clearing work in the remaining areas. All action data must be shared in real time with the command network."
The scar-faced middle-aged Lei Lie nodded and said nothing. He just stood there with his arms folded, giving off a fierce aura.
The other martial arts masters began to discuss in low voices, and soon, the two of them walked to Lei Lie, obviously planning to follow this strongest vanguard, and their safety would be more guaranteed.
The other four people worked in pairs to form two teams.
Only Xu Wuyi and another man in his thirties, with an ordinary face and carrying a sheathed straight knife were left standing alone.
Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them. "Are you two planning to act alone, or are you?"
The man carrying the knife smiled and said, "I like to do it by myself. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
His voice was a little hoarse.
Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Wuyi again.
Xu Wuyi said calmly, "I will also act alone."
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly.
There are not many martial arts masters who act alone, but they are often veterans who are confident in their strength and have rich experience.
The young man in front of me... although his aura is not weak, he is a bit too young.
However, the qualifications for accepting tasks are reviewed by the college and the association, so he cannot question them.
"Yes. Please select your entrance number. Note that once selected, please strictly follow the planned route to avoid straying into the area responsible for others or getting too close to the core danger area."
Xu Wuyi glanced at the entrance distribution map displayed on the personal terminal.
There are six entrances in total, evenly distributed around the periphery of the target area.
Lei Lie chose entrance No. 3 due north, which leads directly to a relatively open scorched rock area, which is suitable for him to perform.
The other two teams chose the northeast and northwest entrances respectively.
The man with the knife chose the southeast entrance.
Xu Wuyi After some thought, he chose entrance No. 6 due west.
From the map, the terrain in this direction is more complex, with more rugged landforms formed after the melting of High-Heat Rule, and potential underground cavities. The probability of remaining Star Beast may be slightly higher, but it also means that more extra points may be gained.
"The entrance has been selected. Please check your equipment and replenish necessary supplies. After one hour, enter in order. Master Lei Lie will enter first. Ten minutes later, other entrances will open at the same time."
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he motioned to the soldiers next to him to bring up several boxes, which contained standard radiation indicators, emergency medical kits and spare communication modules.
Xu Wuyi received his share, walked aside, and checked the weapons, medicines and the ten specially made high-explosive shock bombs again.
He packed the shock bombs into parts and placed them in an easily accessible location on his combat uniform.
The man carrying the knife walked near him and silently arranged his equipment. There was no communication between the two.
Ten minutes later, everything is ready.
Lei Lie nodded to Zhao Zhen and the other two martial artists who chose to follow him, and took the lead towards the marked entrance No. 3.
He took long strides and his figure quickly disappeared behind the undulating horizon.
Another ten minutes later.
"The remaining entrances are open!" Zhao Zhen's voice came through the communication channel.
Xu Wuyi took a deep breath of hot air, grasped the handle of the gun behind his back, and walked towards the west entrance No. 6.
The ground beneath our feet gradually changed from hard to soft, and the color became darker and darker.
The burning smell and vague radiation warning in the air are a constant reminder of the violent destruction this place has endured not long ago.
The sky was a depressing gray-yellow color with no sunlight.
As he walked, he slowly spread his mental power.
With a mental strength level of 36.9, his effective sensing radius reaches nearly two hundred meters, and he can penetrate the surface of the ground that is not too thick and sense movement within several meters of the ground.
The terrain is indeed complex.
Huge slabs of lava that are as smooth and reflective as glass, twisted and fractured rock formations, bottomless cracks, and some weird stalagmites that were instantly vaporized and condensed by High-Heat Rule.
The temperature was very high, and the constant temperature system of the combat uniform had been activated. From time to time, a faint halo of working filtration system flashed across the mask.
After walking about five hundred meters, Xu Wuyi stopped.
In his mental perception, under a charred rock mass full of holes in the front left, about three meters deep, there were several groups of slowly moving life reactions.
Ash Worm.
The number... five, with energy levels ranging from 27 to 29.
They seem to be in a semi-dormant state, perhaps to avoid the high temperature on the surface, or perhaps to wait for "prey" to pass by.
Xu Wuyi did not alarm them.
He continued walking, silently recording the location.
Now is not the time to deal with it, he needs to reach the first base station deployment point first.
Following the terminal navigation, he passed through a lava area that looked like monster fangs, avoided two ground cracks, and finally arrived at the first coordinate point.
That's a relatively flat little Highlands.
Xu Wuyi took out a fist-sized silver metal disc from the tactical backpack, pressed it in the designated position, and started it.
The disc made a slight buzzing, with an anchor protruding from the bottom and piercing the ground, and three small solar panels and an antenna unfolded from the top.
A weak signal light began to flash regularly.
"Base Station A7 started successfully, trying to network..." Feedback came from the personal terminal.
Xu Wuyi did not stop and immediately moved to the next coordinate point.
His movements were swift and quiet, like shadows passing over the scorched earth.
Just when he was less than two hundred meters away from the first base station and was about to go around a sloping lava block, he suddenly caught a strange restlessness at the edge of his mental perception.
Coming from the direction where he just found Ash Worm.
And, it's not just those five.
More similar hot and dirty life reactions are being "awakened" from the deeper strata and are slowly gathering towards the surface, or in other words, towards the Base Station A7 he just laid out.
Are they attracted by the energy fluctuations when the base station starts up?
Xu Wuyi's eyes were slightly focused, and with a flash of his body, he climbed to the top of the lava block next to him quietly, lowered his body, and looked towards the direction from which the restlessness was coming.
The charred ground began to arch slightly, and then cracked.
The first dark red Ash Worm drilled out of the surface. It was full of links and had a diameter as wide as a bucket.
It has no obvious eyes. The front end is a ring-shaped mouthpart that is constantly opening and closing and full of sharp teeth. It secretes corrosive mucus and swings left and right, as if it is sensing something.
Then comes the second and third items...
In just ten seconds, eight Ash Worm drilled out of the surface of that area.
They rubbed their bodies against each other, making a heart-wrenching "rustling" sound, and then, invariably, they squirmed in the direction of Base Station A7.
