After spending nearly half a day, Li Qinwu traveled more than 800 kilometers north and found the location of the third Baneblade Tank.

Why did this swamp resemble a dead zone? There were no birdcalls or insect sounds, and the surrounding grass and trees showed signs of withering.
Sensing something was amiss, Li Qinwu drove the Gravity Car and began exploring the area around the swamp.
The Vault supervisor's group needed some time to work. Half the Baneblade Tank was submerged in the swamp, and hauling it out would take considerable effort.
