81. Sortie

Joyce silently remembered Musu's provocation, or in a sense, ...... Prompt.

They took refuge in a forest far from the stream, perched in the canopy. The sound of an unidentified giant creature licking the water is clearly audible.

They leaned together to warm each other by their body temperatures, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.

Joyce and the other four members chose the south, so that meant they had to walk the furthest way back.

Going down the river may be quick and direct, but where there's water, there's often life. On today's earth, human beings are the bottom of the biological chain.

A return to the burned land was inevitable, and they did not have the guts or strength to use two days to walk through the forest in the perilous apocalypse.

Joyce closed her eyes and pulled the branch aside to block the gap.

The burned ground is about a few kilometers away, and if you're lucky enough to miss, you might be able to find the Lindsay Wetlands at noon tomorrow.

The sky was overcast.

When the light reached the sight, the group climbed down from the tree after making sure it was safe underneath, moved their bodies in place, and then had a member of the Agile 20 go to the stream to quickly replenish the water - the container was a piece of washed intestines tied to death at one end.

Ready, they quickly returned and dodged mutated creatures along the way, arriving at the edge of the burn after an hour.

At this point they breathed a sigh of relief, and the speed of progress also increased a little.

In the afternoon, around 13 o'clock. They saw a lake, Osawa, and an island in the center.

After observing the shore for a long time, after making sure that the lake was safe, they cut down a tree and waded through the water. Spotted by the shore guards, he was taken to the leader's quarters.

Chen Yue and his party were also here, telling them that they were the last to arrive.

There was a five-man squad with no sign to be found, and they were due east, arriving in the third wave according to the distance......

They won't be coming back.

Chen Yue introduced Hansen: "He is our leader, Archbishop Joyce. ”

"Lindsey Wetland Chief, Hansen." Hansen frowned, and there were only four waves of less than 25 people before and after. "I thought there would be more of you."

"Only a few believers managed to escape." Joyce replied, a smile that was spring-like, actually quite formulaic on his lips.

Chen Yue returned to Joyce and exchanged glances with him.

Joyce understood and said to Hansen, "Let's get down to business. I think Chen Yue has already told you a lot of things. When I came over, I had a general idea of what was going on in the Lindsay wetlands. Now we have a common enemy. First of all, we need to know the strength of the ember camp. ”

Hansen commented disdainfully: "A bunch of scum who don't even have a decent weapon." ”

"How did a bunch of unarmed men storm your stronghold?"

The smile on Joyce's face made it sound mocking.

"Your words are hard to hear......"

Hansen's brow furrowed very much, and the eyebrows that were close to his eyes made him a little sharper. He looked directly at Joyce for a few seconds, then sighed softly and said loosely, "...... But it's the truth. Well, because we didn't expect to be attacked, and they were crazy. ”

"So a bunch of fanatical believers who are not afraid of death and use rudimentary weapons......" Joyce muttered to herself. When do you plan to act? ”

"No, no, no......" Hansen corrected him. It's you, not us. The trouble is yours and can only be solved by you. That's why you're still standing here talking to me. ”

"But I think those 500 people are your people." Joyce helped Hansen make the point. "It's okay for us to solve it, but we need your weapons assistance."

Cultists in Camp Ember have a high chance of having more than 10 XP, which is enough to get everyone to level 4. Two dozen members who were three times more physically fit than normal were armed with firearms, and they were like mowing grass.

Hansen didn't refuse at the first time. He groaned for a moment and asked, "How do I know you won't want to attack me when you get your weapons?" ”

"Ringo."

Joyce tilted his head slightly.

The delicate-looking woman was signaled. She walked to the wall under Hansen's gaze, her body moving suddenly, the soles of her feet half-twisted and kicking.

It seemed as if the ground shook and dust fell from the walls with a loud bang.

Lin Ye pulled his calf out of the wall, and a hole appeared in the wall made of bluestone mixed with cement.

The soldiers guarding the door hurried in, pointing their guns at Joyce and the others.

Joyce ignored them and looked at Hansen: "If it is like what you say, there will be no outsiders in this courtyard. ”

His outsiders naturally refer to people outside of the status of "believers".

Hansen waved his hand and told the guards to step back. "What do you need?" ”

"Enough to equip our full crew with submachine guns and pistols, 3,000 rounds of ammunition."

Hansen snorted: "I think you're crazy." Ten pistols, two hundred rounds of ammunition. That's all. ”

"Deal."

Joyce's blunt promise stunned Hansen. Knowing that he had fallen into the trap, he didn't care: "You have to stop that guy." ”

This tough guy sighed rarely.

Last night, Mu Su told him about Mu Su Su's biography. He couldn't find any useful clues in it. The story ended up stuck in the third chapter, and he thought it was over but he didn't expect Mu Su to actually ...... I actually told it again!

Joyce nodded, "I promise, the inhabitants of your colony are all safe and sound now." ”

"Are you sure?"

Joyce's lips opened slightly, and suddenly he didn't speak.

Musu is SchrΓΆdinger's cat.

……

In the evening, twenty-three members came to the shoal, and the boat was ready.

Before they boarded the ship, Mu Su's voice sounded in their ears.

My army has gone to stop you...... What the? Haven't been there yet? Why! Just because I didn't say it, you didn't go! A bunch of shit, let me stop them! 】

Behind the words, Mu Su seemed to be shouting at someone, and his tone was full of anger.

Joyce put the bullet box into the drain strap and asked, "How many?" ”

Mu Su sneered: [You would never have thought that I would send twice as many of you as many as I would ambush ......]

50 people......

After a while, Mu Su said to them: "Hi...... Uh, can you wait......]

"Can't"

【Gan! 】

Joyce gestured, and the group got into the wooden boat and gradually moved away from the shore.

A few minutes later, the hull docked with a slight shock. The crowd disembarked.

Mu Su's voice sounded in his ears again.

[Do you think you're lucky? I thought to myself, "Wow, I managed to swim here." But you know, I'm not a very good talker. It's too late to return now, while I'm not angry. 】

They ignored them, lit their torches, and stepped into the dark forest.

Mu Su, who was watching everything through the monitor, sneered and said: [It seems that you are a group of disobedient bad boys. Very good...... My warriors hiding in the trees will bring justice from heaven and easily capture you......]

The members looked at each other and turned their attention to it.

They were pretty sure that Musu wouldn't deceive them.
