I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

At the same time, inside the armored vehicle where Chen Yang was, everyone noticed that the vehicle suddenly changed direction.

"Where are we going?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Before the words were even finished, the electronic screen inside the carriage lit up again.

On the screen, the bearded man appeared, his expression cold and his tone devoid of any warmth:

"Everyone, our first mission has begun."

"You will be heading to a small town on the front lines that has not yet been evacuated. Your mission is to cover the evacuation of refugees while simultaneously sniping the zombie army."

The bearded man glanced at the documents in his hand and casually added:

"According to intelligence, the highest combat strength of this zombie army is Tier 4. I believe this should be more than enough for you."

"The specific tasks have been imported into your wristbands, get ready."

After he finished speaking, the screen went black instantly.

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

"Our first mission? We're going to the battlefield already?"

One player's voice trembled, clearly indicating he wasn't mentally prepared.

"This is too sudden..." another person complained in a low voice.

"So you mean we've already set off?"

Huangfu Qinghe looked at Chen Yang, and their eyes met. Although they had doubts in their hearts, neither of them showed any extra emotion.

Huangfu Qinghe spoke first, saying to everyone, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to look at the intelligence first."

Chen Yang nodded and silently pulled up the task information in his bracelet.

Chen Yang raised his wrist, and a virtual screen popped up, displaying detailed mission information.

[Destination of this operation: Komoku Town]

[Estimated arrival time: 37 minutes]

[Main mission objective: Assist the stationed company in providing cover for refugees to leave in rescue vehicles]

[Secondary objective: Eliminate the zombie army while ensuring the completion of the primary objective.]

[Secondary objectives are not mandatory tasks; completing them will grant additional military merits.]

Below is a clearly marked map.

When his gaze fell on the map and the words "Riverwood Town" came into view, his heart skipped a beat.

Kawaki Town?!

Such a coincidence? !

This is a dynamic map.

The central area of ​​the map has three large characters: Riverwood Town.

North of the town, a wide river about three kilometers long meanders along, its surface calm.

This great river is the origin of the name of Hemu Town.

To the east of the town, the Undead Mountains stretch endlessly, with steep terrain and shrouded in shadow, like a sleeping behemoth.

To the west lies a forest shrouded in mist.

Psychedelic forest.

Chen Yang's fingers trembled slightly, his gaze lingering on those words.

This is where Rek'Sai disappeared.

After so long, I wonder if Rek'Sai is still there.

Chen Yang clenched his fists.

This mission might be an opportunity, a chance for him to rediscover Rek'Sai.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and continued to browse the task prompts.

[Under the seats are your tactical clothing and equipment.]

Chen Yang looked down and pulled open the storage cabinet under the seat, inside which was a brand new set of tactical equipment neatly arranged.

He quickly changed into the tactical suit, which was lightweight yet durable, and the close-fitting material could effectively resist attacks from low-level zombies.

There was also a pistol and food supplies.

Among them was an inconspicuous gas mask.

Chen Yang picked up the mask, and the system popped up an introduction.

[Item Name: Gas Mask]

[Description: Produced with military technology, this is currently the highest quality gas mask on the market, specially provided to the military, and can filter any known harmful gas.]

Chen Yang put the mask into the space inside the bracelet, seemingly lost in thought.

Inside the carriage, the others also changed into their gear and put their supplies into the built-in space of their wristbands.

The journey was bumpy, and everyone swayed slightly with the vibrations of the wheels.

Chen Yang looked out the car window, and the scene of the war zone gradually became clearer.

In the distance, a human defensive line made of nuts and sandbags stretched across the horizon.

When the armored vehicle arrived at the outpost, everyone felt a jolt, and then it came to a smooth stop.

This defensive line is located on the opposite bank of the river from Kawaki town.

On one side of the defense line was the three-kilometer-wide river.

The water surface was calm and still.

The system's mechanical voice sounded again:

[Arrived at the designated location, 3 kilometers from Koki Town. The remaining journey requires changing transportation.]

Remote support will be available at any time.

The armored vehicle's cargo door slowly opened, and a slightly damp river breeze rushed into the vehicle.

Chen Yang and the other nine people jumped off the vehicle, their feet on the slightly muddy ground.

Before us was a makeshift campsite.

The green tents were arranged haphazardly, interspersed with a few simple wooden houses, clearly a hastily constructed shelter.

The camp was packed with people, some standing, some sitting, some lying on the ground. Cries, arguments, and soothing voices mingled together in a cacophony that made it hard to breathe.

These people were dressed in rags and looked haggard.

Without a doubt, they were all refugees from Riverwood.

On the river, boats shuttle back and forth between the two banks.

Wooden boats, inflatable rafts, and even simple bamboo rafts became the only means of survival for the townspeople on the other side of the river.

A motorboat approached the riverbank, and a soldier in camouflage jumped off. He jogged up to Chen Yang and the others, panting, and asked:

"Mobile force? You've finally arrived!"

Clearly, he was the soldier responsible for guiding them.

"The task is simple."

The soldier pointed to the camp and the river behind him, saying, "What you need to do is support the companies at the front and bring all the residents across to the other side."

He paused, then added, "This river is a natural barrier that can effectively stop the zombies from attacking."

Then, he led Chen Yang and the others onto a motorboat, preparing to cross the river.

The speedboat engine roared as it swiftly traversed the wide river.

As Chen Yang approached Hemu Town, he could clearly see the scenery along the river.

Hundreds of residents were crowding the shore, carrying their bags and bringing their families, queuing to board the boat.

However, the boats they relied on were just ordinary wooden boats and inflatable rafts, propelled entirely by human power, and their speed was desperately slow.

Chi Zigao stared at the wooden boats, his brow furrowed, then turned to the soldier operating the motorboat and asked:

Why not let them ride in a speedboat?

The soldier didn't turn around, but his tone was unwavering: "The motorboats are prepared for the military and are ready to respond to any special circumstances."

Chi Zigao was dissatisfied after hearing this and opened his mouth to say something more, but Huangfu Qinghe stopped him with a gesture.

Huangfu Qinghe shook his head slightly, his gaze indicating that there was no need for him to ask any further questions.

The speedboat docked, and everyone disembarked, entering the territory of Hemu Town.
