Chapter 255: Chapter 233: The Black Spiked Beast_2
“Stay alert, there are still so hidden monsters in the third ring area that haven’t been thoroughly checked, don’t let your guard down and flip the cart in the ditch.”
As the transport team entered the third ring area, they could see from a distance the patrol team mbers riding Vine Giant Rats on patrol along the streets and preparing for the secondary cleanup.
However, Zhu Xiong still kept his Tree Domain warriors highly vigilant, for in the post-apocalyptic world, vigilance could save lives.
“How many days does Old Gan plan to take to complete the secondary cleanup?”
Guo Gang and Zhu Xiong were walking side by side at the very front of the team, which numbered six to seven hundred people, with nearly a hundred vehicles in tow, making for an impressive procession. The distant patrol team waved a greeting, then the convoy quickly moved along the road and headed out.
While the main streets had already been mostly cleared of obstacles, one could still see piled up derelict cars, garbage, and stones lining the sides.
Zhu Xiong said, “It’s hard to say how long it will take to complete a thorough cleanup, but after the patrol team clears a round in three to five days, iyu will arrange for people to move in. Even if there are still so hidden monsters, there won’t be many, nor will they be too strong. By then, it will be safe. The cleanup team will co in at the sa ti, and once they’re done, the third ring area will co to life.”
“Have Zhu Junhua and the others started moving in the eastern district?”
Guo Gang suddenly thought of the eastern district. Zhu Xiong paused for a mont and then said, “They’ve already started, with small cleanups, small expansions, and a lot of publicity.”
Zhu Xiong’s explanation was simple, but it was part of the plan they had set. The eastern district was inevitably the next target, and they just didn’t have the resources to address it yet.
But once the Tree Domain warriors were replenished, and the third ring was secured, they would imdiately start the cleanup.
By then, the force that would be unleashed would be far more substantial than now, and with the experience from cleaning up the third ring, the speed of the cleanup would be faster as well.
However, during this brief period before the cleanup, they had no intention of remaining inactive.
Zhu Junhua’s pharmaceutical plant and the stadium were definitely going to be the beachheads, and the surrounding monsters had to be suppressed while also preparing for expansion.
Another important matter was propaganda, making sure the information about Tree Domain Camp was left in the eastern district.
With Su Han in charge, and over 30,000 people gathered at Tree Domain Camp, they had enough strength and supplies to welco more survivors.
Directly releasing the ssage, letting the survivors within the eastern district be aware of Tree Domain Camp’s existence, and gathering as many survivors as possible, could potentially save more lives.
Guo Gang smiled upon hearing the planned implentation, “Then, by that ti, our actions will be much faster.”
As the two of them talked, they soon reached the edge of the northern district, where the towering wall had now reached a height of more than ten ters. Weng City was under construction, with Black Rock Tree Monsters and construction teams bustling about, and city defense troops patrolling as well.
“Execute the mission, open the gate.”
The city gate was an extrely large tal gate, embedded within the entire wall, requiring great effort to pull open.
“Instructions received, verification correct, open the gate.”
The city defense warriors of course recognized Zhu Xiong, but as the camp continued to expand, the rules had beco clearer.
Normally, to open the gate, there had to be a file case from either Su Han or the administrative center, like for going out on a mission.
Of course, this might gradually change, with the possible addition of smaller gates, but for the ti being, for the safety of the entire camp, large-scale movent in and out had to be prepared.
Once the team was outside the wall, the towering walls were left behind, and suddenly there was a thick fog in front of them, so dense that one could hardly see the silhouettes of tall buildings through the swirling mist.
It was as if they had vanished, leaving a sudden emptiness in the heart, causing unease.
Zhu Xiong frowned and muttered, “The white expanse of fog doesn’t offer much sense of security.”
Guo Gang said, “We’ll walk and place the Ancient Tree Crystals as we go. We’ve brought quite a few this ti, but we haven’t had a chance to plant the Parasitic Corpse Willows yet.”
He too beca serious, for they were now in the suburbs. Although the terrain was wider, possibly causing the monsters to be more dispersed, if they gathered together, their threat level would escalate dramatically.
“Let’s go.”
All the Angel Envoys had been summoned, and the entire convoy beca even larger. The vanguard team responsible for clearing the way had already reached the front of the convoy, continuously inserting tal poles with Ancient Tree Crystals into the ground on both sides of the road.
Every hundred ters there was one, and soon the path began to erge as the mist was driven away to the sides of the road, and a sense of safety finally began to rise.
“Move out.”
The team moved forward steadily, occasionally encountering monsters that rushed into the light, ready to attack the entire convoy.
The light from the Ancient Tree Crystals not only dispersed the fog but also attracted so monsters.
However, the entire convoy consisted of battle-hardened veterans. With just the vanguard team alone, they could take down attackers with a shot from a crossbow arrow.
So monsters, faster, were able to dash to the front of the convoy, but the Spiritual Energy rifles were faster, taking them down with a single shot.
After about half an hour and at least five or six attacks, the frequency of assaults was quite high, causing Zhu Xiong to frown.
Guo Gang reassured him, “When we ca here, we cleared so of them. After a few more tis, we should be able to secure the route for transport.”
“We’re almost 20 kiloters ahead.”
The team had already traveled several kiloters, calculating the distance; they were nearly at the border of the Vine Giant Rats’ activity area.
“The Vine Giant Rats will stay at this position. So will remain to set up a temporary defense. I’ll go with you to the oil depot to check the situation. When that ti cos…”
“Report, a large group of monsters is approaching!”
Just then, the Sky Cavalry rushed back quickly. Their mounts were their own Angel Envoys, including Bat Wing Beasts and Blood-winged Tigers.
