Chapter 66 Departure Road
Seeing Lin Lei nodding, Lu Chen said nothing and left alone. Qin Xuan, as Lu Chen's subordinate, naturally followed Lu Chen away.
When Lu Chen and Qin Xuan disappeared, the silver fox said, "Young Master, if you choose this way, the casualties will increase a lot. It is best to be a little more stable. Also, the power of the contractors is not as powerful as you imagined on the battlefield. At most, they can't control a war."
The Silver Fox has not given up yet and wants Lin Lei to accept his opinion. This is not out of selfishness, but to do so, which is most conducive to their development. If he can say such words, it means that he already has the intention to follow Lin Lei.
In response, Lin Lei just said: "The poisonous scorpion has the strength of the dragon level, and with his talent, it is possible to advance to the heaven level."
Just this short sentence, the silver fox opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
The contractor cannot control a war, which is about ghost-level contractors. The dragon-level contractors can already influence the war. As for the contractors at the heaven level, unless there are also heaven-level strong people on the opposite side, the opponent will be defeated.
Lin Lei knew very well that he could get a small area of territory by relying on his own team, with his own planning and some luck, but at most he was only as big as a county town. Such a territory was not what he wanted, he wanted more, and only Lu Chen could bring him these. Therefore, he generally chose to agree with Lu Chen's request.
Lu Chen wanted to clean the beasts this time, and Lin Lei knew the reason. The contractor was very anxious and he didn't have time to train troops slowly. When he went to clean the beasts behind, the only thing that would die was ordinary mercenaries. There was almost no threat to the poisonous scorpion itself, so from the perspective of the poisonous scorpion, of course, it would be better to clean the beasts.
After a while, Silver Fox still didn't say anything, as if he agreed with Lin Lei's decision. However, although he was forced to agree, his eyes were not only not disappointed, but were full of expectations for the future.
He has seen the power of the dragon-level contractors in the military formation. With such contractors in the team, their survival is undoubtedly greatly guaranteed.
If he had known that Lu Chen was a dragon-level person, he would never have opposed Lu Chen. However, he really did not expect Lin Lei to hire dragon-level contractors. You should know that Lin Lei only brought more than 1,000 people ←style_txt; This amount of troops is not much in the army, and there are many more than him. Some families even came out in full swing and directly attracted tens of thousands of people. In this way, there are not necessarily dragon-level contractors in their team.
Lin Lei has only so many people, which means that Lin Lei’s family would have been very small or had no important status in the family.
With the strength of the dragon-level contractor, he can go to a larger team. There is no need to stay here at all, so when he saw Lu Chen, he took it for granted that Lu Chen was just a ghost level.
After knowing Lu Chen's strength, he wanted to ask how Lin Lei recruited Lu Chen, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets.
Seeing that the Silver Fox didn't say anything, Lin Lei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you go to the army with me to take on the mission. With the poisonous scorpion, we can take on the more difficult ones. By the way, go and call Qin Xuan over. The poisonous scorpion is not very responsible in normal times, so Qin Xuan is helping with it. In the future, respect Qin Xuan."
"I understand, young master." After knowing Lu Chen's strength, he even leveraged the Silver Fox to use the courage of the Silver Fox to provoke the people around the Scorpion, especially women. In the Silver Fox's heart, the Scorpion and Qin Xuan must have a squabble. Of course, he can only rot in his stomach and will not say it out.
...
Four hours later, Lin Lei, Lu Chen, Qin Xuan, Orell, and George sat in a spaceship and listened to the explanation of Silver Fox.
"We are responsible for this area. Within three days, we must clean this area." pointed to a display screen, Yinhu said, and the display screen he pointed to had a three-dimensional map, which roughly marked the surrounding environment.
The silver fox pointed to a mountainous area. When he was taking the task, Qin Xuan had always had contact with Lu Chen. This mountainous area was chosen under Lu Chen's instructions.
At this moment, Lu Chen was also listening carefully to the Silver Fox's explanation.
"This mountainous area is very deserted, with very little vegetation on it and no powerful beasts around it. But don't think there is no danger here. On the contrary, this place can be said to be the most dangerous place behind. This cleaning mission has been in the army for a year, and there are only a few people who dare to pick it up. Most of the teams willing to pick it up have died in this mountainous area. There are very few people who escaped and talk about it."
When choosing a mission, according to Silver Fox's idea, he just needed to find an ordinary clearing mission. He slowly trained his troops and waited until his strength was strong before doing other tasks. However, Lu Chen's instructions made his plan empty in an instant. Lin Lei and Qin Xuan had seen Lu Chen's strength. Although he felt that the mission was difficult, he still agreed.
This left Silver Fox with no choice. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Chen had the strength of the dragon, he would have left directly. This task was really too difficult. Not only did he feel that, when he was taking on the task, the officer who recorded the task also had a look of a dead person on his face.
"We will not object to your acceptance of the task, but I want to remind you that it is very dangerous here." Although the army looked down on mercenaries, it did not have the idea of letting mercenaries die. The tasks they assigned themselves were only a little difficult and would not be difficult to complete.
However, it is too late to say all of this now. After receiving it, it must be completed. If it fails, the merits will be deducted. In serious cases, it will even be dealt with by military law. Therefore, Lin Lei's mission has been finalized, and Silver Fox is saying that nothing else is useful.
Not only did the military see Lin Lei who took over the mission like a dead person, the rich child who invited Lin Lei to the banquet yesterday was also there. Like Lin Lei, he also took the initiative to take over the task, but he took over the task that was to be opened in front.
When he received the task, Lin Lei got together with the rich child. He originally heard that Lin Lei was going to the rear, and the rich child still looked a little contempt, but after seeing the task Lin Lei took, the rich child's expression changed, from contempt to looking at a fool.
"Mr. Lei. I misread you yesterday. I originally thought you were too timid. Now, I want you to apologize. By the way, I wish you success."
It was completely angering the silver fox when he looked at the dead, but then he thought that this task was indeed difficult. The first few rich children who had accepted had already made an explanation with later generations. It was indeed a place where there was no life.
Faced with the rich child's words, Lin Lei was very calm: "Everyone, each other, I wish my brothers a good future."
I didn't think about the scene at that time. Silver Fox suppressed his mood and breathed a sigh of relief and continued to introduce this mission: "Compared with the front-line mission, the only benefit for us is that we are very clear about the enemies we have to face, and we also have a rough understanding of their abilities."
The reason why we go to the front to investigate is that it is unknown, the enemy is uncertain, and the army has no way to formulate a combat plan. We can only rely on adapting to the situation. With the dangers of this planet, wild animals are second to various poisonous insects and poisonous substances, and it is even more dangerous to detect the front. It can be said that every step of the military advance is exchanged for the lives of countless scouts.
As for the enemies that have been detected, humans have ways to deal with them after knowing their abilities. This is also the reason why the Silver Fox advocates doing the subsequent tasks, knowing the root of the problem, and being easy to deal with.
But he didn't expect that Lu Chen would have to deal with such a dangerous enemy.
"The other creatures in this mountainous area are easy to deal with. There is only one kind of real trouble for us. Groundworms, groundworms, like earthworms on the earth, live underground, but they do not feed on rot, but on minerals and meat. The reason why there are so few wild animals in this mountainous area is that they are eaten by these groundworms. Groundworms that feed on minerals, like rock spiders, have strong armor on their bodies, and like rock spiders, they also live underground..."
These ground insects living in the mountains, like concealing spiders, live on rocks and minerals. This mountainous area has been discovered by humans and has many important mineral resources, which has become a gathering place for ground insects. Although there has not been any statistics, the ground insects here are likely to reach thousands or even tens of thousands.
So many ground insects make it impossible for humans to mine the minerals there. At the same time, many of these minerals are urgently short of the military, which makes the military's price for cleaning up this area very high.
This is what Lu Chen wants to see. His ability is extremely restrained against the monsters in the ground.
As for the coincidence, this was specially chosen by Lu Chen. The military has many clearance tasks. In addition to this mountainous area, there are also forests, swamps, sky, or rivers to clean up tasks. Lu Chen just chose the area that is most beneficial to him.
Those who are good at underwater battle contracts will choose to fight on the other side of the river at this time.
Most of the contractors who come to this real world are shooting masters. Their favorite task is to clear the air and wild beasts in the wilderness. They always stay away from things underground. Even if there are other soil contractors, there are very few. They can only clean up a small area at most, and there are many underground dangers left.
This is the case with the soil system and the water. Now rivers and underground are much more dangerous than the sky.
While Lu Chen was thinking, the explanation of the Silver Fox continued: "The most annoying thing about the ground worms is not their strong armor, but their sudden attack method. They can attack us on the ground at any time when they are underground. Although they have caves when they pass through, fighting with them is tantamount to seeking death. Fortunately, the military gave us a few days of vibration detectors and put these things on the ground. If the ground worms attack, we can be alert in advance, but this can only prevent the attack of the ground worms. If they want to kill them, they have to force them out. Only when they come out can we have the possibility of defeating them."
"There are all solid rocks underneath, and the ground worms are hidden very deeply. It is basically unlikely to dig with excavators. I have also checked the information about several families dealing with them before. One of them used food seduction and wanted to seduce food constantly, and then killed one by one. However, the ground worms are omnivorous creatures and have nothing that they particularly like. Unless they are very hungry, it is difficult to get hooked. This method is not possible."
"There are also families who pour smoke and water into the caves dug by the ground worms, and want to use these to force them out, but this method is not possible. The ground worms pour the things excavated from all directions and eight major underground areas into them easily emerge from other places. This mountainous area is too big, and it is a bit unrealistic to try to block all the holes."
"The only family with some achievements is to force the ground worms out with sound. The ground worms have no eyes. They rely on vibration and sound to perceive things. Relying on infrasound waves, they can make the ground worms very uncomfortable. But there is also a problem. Infrasound waves will affect the detection of the vibrator. With infrasound waves, there is no way to sense the movements of the ground worms. The uncomfortable ground worms are extremely irritable and will attack the army on the ground from the ground at any time. The family that came up with this method has to give up because they cannot detect the ground worms. There are too many mercenaries swallowed by the ground worms and the losses are too heavy. Although there will be punishments after the military's mission is given, the wild beasts in this mountainous area are too difficult to deal with. Although the military has punished them, there is no severe punishment."
Speaking of this, the Silver Fox stopped and looked at Lin Lei. Obviously, he had not given up on the idea of letting Lin Lei give up this mission. In the face of the Silver Fox's statement, Lin Lei was also silent.
After a while, he spoke: "Since the vibration detector is not good, can infrared detection be replaced by temperature detection??"
"Young Master, you have this idea from other families, but you have a mud armored landworm, and your life and temperature are extremely weak. This mountainous area has been noticed by the military because of its numerous minerals, but because of its numerous minerals, the magnetic force here is not very stable, and the methods you proposed are useless."
Silver Fox's answer left Lin Lei with no choice. The enemy was too strong, so he could think of other ways, but now it was difficult to see even the enemy's face. Lin Lei had no attention and could only look at Lu Chen. There was no way. This time, it was the task that Lu Chen asked him to take on. I guess he had an idea.
Lu Chen, who was looked at by him, spoke before he could speak.
"Don't worry, Mr.'s ability has a special bonus to the earth-type monsters."
Others are still a little worried about dealing with the ground worms. How could Qin Xuan, who had seen Lu Chen kill countless spiders, not knowing that Lu Chen was facing the power of the earth-type beast? When he was taking the mission, Lin Lei had a moment of hesitation. Qin Xuan wanted to take this mission without Lu Chen's instructions. She knew that Lu Chen was completely stress-free when facing the earth-type mutant beast. (To be continued.)
