The End of the Earth

"Commander, these monsters appear to be paying homage to that special creature."

"Pilgrimage? That's a good word. Now that you put it that way, it makes it seem like that's the case."

The special mutant at the foot of the ruins discovered the dragon girl high in the sky. After looking at her for a while, he ignored her and turned his head to look to the other side and roared.

With a roar, the mutants who were on pilgrimage all stood up and looked to the right.

"This isn't a pilgrimage, it's not a pre-war mobilization review, is it?"

Xiang San muttered, and they looked in the direction of the mutant. In the gray vision, they could vaguely see something wriggling in the northeast direction.

Others couldn't see clearly, but Xiang San's electronic eyes could see clearly that a large wave of insects bigger than humans were rushing towards the mutant group.

"Let's go, quietly go down, and take a detour to the city center. It's not worth the risk to wade into this muddy water. There's no profit to be made."

Although the other members did not know the specific situation, they could guess what Xiang San meant. Their mission objective was not to fight but to search for supplies and equipment.

"Commander! My hazmat suit seems to be torn!"

A dwarf's chemical protective suit was punctured by sharp steel bars when he was going down the ruins mountain, and the situation was not optimistic.

There were not many people going up the mountain, and Xiang San quickly found him and approached him. The inner layer of the chemical protective suit was equipped with lead plates, but the outer layer was still made of relatively fragile materials. After all, their equipment was still somewhat simple, and the self-developed power armor had not yet undergone the final stage of experiments and could not be put into use.

"Do you know how to use alchemy's control of metal? Build alchemy and use both alchemy and control of metal to combine the lead block and the damaged part of the chemical protective suit. Let's use alchemy together."

"I see!"

Xiang San covered the hole in his chemical protective suit and said, "I said we'll use it together from the beginning. You should first resonate your magic power and start building it and wait for my instructions... 3.2.1, start!"

The lead blocks built into the dwarf fused together the damaged areas of the chemical protective suit and successfully blocked the holes.

"So alchemy can be used this way! I think I understand, Commander!"

"Don't be too happy. Even though it's blocked, the low temperature can't be blocked anymore. It will penetrate into your chemical protective suit through the lead blocks, lowering the temperature. Can you still hold on? If not, ask two brothers to take you back to the shelter first."

The dwarf patted his chest and said confidently, "No problem! The people of the Azure World are least afraid of temperature."

Xiang San believed this. Although the temperature inside the shelter was higher than outside, it was still low. They were all wearing thicker clothes, and the people in the blue world were still wearing cooler clothes.

Maybe he's physically stronger.

"Keep going and find a new way. There's a fight going on between two tribes on the other side of the mountain, so we shouldn't get involved."

"Commander, we've found another entrance into the downtown area. It appears to be a concrete wall."

Eight hundred meters away, in an area not yet covered by the ruins, a high wall came into view. It was a separation wall from the old times.

"alchemy!"

Compared with the magicians in the Azure World, Xiang San's method of use is enviable. He does not need to chant to build up the magic power.

It doesn't cost much alchemy to build a wall. The middle part of the solid concrete wall turned into a pile of sand and fell to the ground. The square passage was just big enough for a transport truck to pass through.

"Form groups of three, one armed officer per group, and spread out to search, no more than 200 meters apart. The rest of the personnel will spread out to search 100 meters around the transport vehicle. Disperse!"

Like a spread-out net, this grid-based search can not only respond quickly to ensure personnel safety but also expand the search area to ensure efficiency.

Xiang San climbed onto the roof of the transport truck and observed the situation on the ground in real time.

After searching for two hours, the food synthesis line was still not found. Xiang San knew the approximate location, but the city center was now at most a garbage dump and could not be identified at all. He was mentally prepared to return empty-handed. After all, not everything could go as he wished.

No matter how smart you are, you can't beat God.

"Report, there's a dozen or so insect-like creatures chasing a human!"

Xiang San became interested. Human?

"Are you sure it's human?"

"Yes, Commander... He's wearing a military chemical protective suit. It looks much more practical than ours."

A few minutes later he saw the man being chased, with 12 ant-like creatures chasing him.

"Ant-Man? I wasn't mistaken. Ant-Man was still crawling a while ago, though he's gotten a bit bigger. Now he's running?"

A member of the Order Department exclaimed, he had personally killed ants that broke into the shelter.

"Stop talking nonsense, armed men, listen to orders! Fight off those ant men and rescue the people."

"Yes! Commander! Brothers, follow me!"

Simon was being chased and was running for his life. He was terrified when he saw Ant-Man getting closer and closer. He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of his comrades being eaten in the food factory.

Just as he turned his gaze back, a group of armed men wearing simple chemical protective suits and several wearing standard power suits passed by him and brushed past him.

He was running forward, but these people were actually rushing in the opposite direction, towards Ant-Man? Conventional weapons were useless. He could already imagine them being torn to pieces. Thinking of his comrades, the fear in his heart turned into endless resentment.

Yes, it is better to fight to the death than to run away! He is a soldier, avenging his brothers!

When he turned around, the battle had reached a stalemate. The corpses of several Ant-Men on the ground seemed to warn the remaining Ant-Men, hey, if you go any further, you'll have to lie down too.

The antennae on the ant-men's heads were twitching and communicating with each other, and they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

At this time, Xiang San was sitting in the transport vehicle, with dozens of members following him, and came to Simon.

Xiang San approached the ant men, very close. The ant men's compound eyes could clearly see Xiang San's eyes. The ant men's tentacles touched Xiang San's chemical protective suit. As if they understood something, they called on the remaining ant men to turn around and run back.

Everyone is used to this scene. As for the commander, everyone thinks he can do anything, so it's normal.

Simon looked at Xiang San knocking on his chemical protective suit helmet in confusion, then he reacted and opened the public channel of the communicator.

"Hello, thank you very much for saving me."

"Well, your attitude is sincere. Who are you and why are you being chased by those things?"

Simon hesitated and replied, "I was looking for supplies when I was discovered by those ant-men, and my companions died."

Xiang San chuckled and said sarcastically, "You don't think you can fool me just because you're wearing a military-issued chemical suit, do you? Such a simple answer, do you think I'm an idiot? Or do you think I'm not as scary as those ant-men? Hmm?"

Simon was reminded, yes, this guy can scare off those ant-men? There must be a reason for this.

"I'm sorry, sir, I lied, but I'm on a mission and can't reveal it."

Xiang San switched to the shelter's own communication channel and called a soldier who had followed Diaz before.

"Soldier, report your unit and your mission. I am Lieutenant Rodson of the Molva Army!"

Simon looked at the army-specific spray paint on the other party's standard power suit, and listened to the momentum in his words. He should be a lieutenant. Then was the gentleman who scared away Ant-Man a higher rank?

"Kiusi Coast Guard Simon! Hello, Lieutenant Rodson!"

Rodson stepped back, and Xiang San walked up to him and said, "Simon, tell me your mission and why you are in the city center. I believe you are wearing a military chemical protective suit and you are not traveling alone."

"Sir, we have been ordered to find the warehouse of the food synthesis line in the city center. There is a large amount of stored food there."

Sure enough, the officials had a keen sense of smell, and he guessed that this was their purpose.

"Oh? Looks like you found it? Take us there."

Xiang San's tone was unquestionable, so Simon could only take them to that place. Although some of these people were wearing simple chemical protective suits, their weapons were powerful. Their Coast Guard did not even have such equipment. And that giant transport vehicle looked very advanced.

When it starts, there is only the sound of tires rolling on the ground.

The ruins without reference points are the most troublesome, but with Annie in the sky, Xiang San can observe the terrain on the ground from the air and build a new map in his brain system.

"Xiang, there won't be a conflict if we encounter the Coast Guard, right?"

Xiang San was also thinking about the problem in Amman, but even if there would be a conflict, they had to go.

This concerns everyone's survival. If necessary, he doesn't mind committing more crimes. He has done such things before.

“Maybe, so you should ask your Annie to protect herself and stay away from our combat area if a conflict occurs.

do you know? "

"Ok."

Although he knew that she was reluctant, Xiang San would not be soft-hearted at this time. Searching for supplies on the ground was a very dangerous task. The reason why he brought Anman out was to let her relax. Even with Annie's protection, Anman was still a mortal body and was not wearing a power suit. If he were a predator, he would definitely lock onto this moving piece of meat.

Anman also understood, but every time she could only hear or watch them fight and how they fought back against adversity in critical moments, which made her feel a little ashamed and powerless.

They finally arrived at their destination. Compared to other buildings, the area they were currently in seemed to be about 70% intact. Perhaps it was because those tall buildings had withstood most of the shock waves.

"Hanzhou Food Industrial Park? It seems to be a Chinese-owned enterprise."

The team members who live in the city of Gia are familiar with this company. Its main processed foods cover the food needs of most residents of Moldova.

With the transport truck as the center, armed personnel stood guard on both sides. Then they began to enter the park and approach a factory building according to Simon's instructions.

Just when they were less than thirty meters away, more than thirty soldiers wearing the same military chemical protective suits as Simon quickly came out of the factory and blocked their route.

"Don't move! Stop moving!"

“Stop right now!”

"Put the gun down!"

Everyone was shouting on the public channel, and no one could tell which team was shouting.

"Shut up! Shut up, everyone!"
