Dean looked back at the giant wall. According to the previous route he was on the west side of the giant wall. He had to go straight to the left side to reach the outer wall area. At the intersection of the western corner and along the northern side of the giant wall was the giant wall passage. He could find Sergei there.
"I have to find a way to meet Sergei on the way back." Dean's eyes lit up. He wanted to continue the experiment of his new invention but it wasn't feasible in the 9th region. He had to transport the materials outside the giant wall and establish a stronghold outside the giant wall to produce the new invention. Although some of the molds made before would be invalid but he had the previous experience so the time for the second production would be greatly shortened.
Moreover he was ready to secretly build an experimental factory in the slums if he continued to produce the new invention. He needed an open and secret place to produce the new invention. Now it seemed that the desolate area outside the giant wall was obviously more suitable than the slums. Moreover, he didn't need to worry about the harm caused by environmental pollution which would attract the attention of other forces.
"Keep up, Xiao Du. Your ability is thermal vision. If you sense any monsters, remember to warn us." Ian and Martin walked in front of the team with dignified expressions. From the moment they entered the giant wall it meant that they were completely isolated from the safe environment. They could encounter danger at any time. Even if they were so close to the giant wall they could still encounter extremely powerful monsters.
Dean nodded as he came to the middle of the team. His pupils contracted as he observed the surroundings with thermal vision.
During the fifteen-day preparation period, the members of the team exchanged their abilities. After all, everyone needed to cooperate with each other and perform their respective duties outside the giant wall to carry out the task. Dean's ability was thermal vision so Ian positioned him as the auxiliary perceptor of the team. Eugene who could toughen his skin was in the role of combat and defense. Others were given different tasks according to their abilities.
"There is a monster at three o 'clock direction four miles ahead. There are four monsters at three o' clock direction. They seem to be sickle zombies." Dean reported the situation to the team.
Ian asked in a low voice: "What is their general strength?"
"Hunting level 20 to 25," Dudian said.
"Eugene, go and kill them." Ian ordered.
Eugene was surprised: "Why?"
Ian looked at him: "What do you mean why?"
Eugene scratched his head as he saw everyone looking at him: "Aren't you stronger than me? Why should I go alone? What if Dean's perception is wrong? It's easy to deviate from judging the monster's physique by heat alone."
"Just go!" Martin, who had a cold temper, snorted. "If there's anything wrong with your perception, we'll support you immediately."
"But …" Eugene was reluctant.
Ian frowned and said patiently, "Eugene, we need to conserve our strength before we enter the third orange wasteland. You newbies can practice with some small monsters. If you're worried, you can go with Du." Ian frowned and said patiently, "Eugene, we need to conserve our strength before we enter the third orange wasteland.
Hearing his words, Eugene hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he sighed and rushed over with his sword.
Dean didn't follow. As Ian said, he also needed to conserve his physical strength. After all, the only thing he could rely on outside the giant wall was his own strength.
After a moment, when Dean and others kept up with the same speed, Eugene's battle was over. Eugene's sword was back to its sheath, stained with blood. There were several corpses lying on the ground. As Dean had perceived, all of them were undeads with sickle arms. One of the undeads had a slightly protruding horn on its forehead. It seemed to be a mutated sickle undeads.
"Let's go." Ian didn't stop. He continued to move along the route.
Eugene returned to the team and silently followed.
There was silence along the way.
"Little Gold, I know what you are thinking." Luna leaned close to Eugene: "You don't have to worry about anything. Newcomer's physical strength is specialized in clearing obstacles. We will protect you when you run out of physical strength."
Eugene looked at her and smiled bitterly. "I understand."
Luna continued: "We won't abandon anyone. Even from the point of view of benefits, we don't want to do so. There is a rule that every time we lose a member, 10% of the medal reward will be deducted. So you don't have to worry about anything."
"There is such a rule?" Eugene was surprised: "It seems that the higher-ups are very thoughtful."
"Of course. Even if they didn't think of it in the beginning, they would have thought of it after a few accidents." Luna chuckled.
While the two were talking, Dean reported several locations where the monsters were hiding.
Ian saw that the monsters in these locations were far away from their route. Their level wasn't high. All of them were level 30 or below. So he didn't ask Eugene to hunt them.
Dean was observing the surrounding monsters while recording the route. Since the mission was dangerous, he naturally had to be prepared for the team to be annihilated. In case Ian and the others died, he would have to rely on himself to remember the route to return.
As they gradually went deeper into the wilderness ruins, large sections of the city outline appeared in Dean's line of sight. Broken high-rise buildings, mosses and vines covered supermarkets, broken asphalt roads, and crashed cars were scattered in the middle of the road. The street lights at the intersection had long been broken. They fell powerlessly on the street and were slowly eroded by dust and moss.
There were footprints and puddles on the road. There were also black nuclei of snow.
The melting speed of the black snow was relatively slow due to the cold wind. There were still thick layers of snow in many places. It looked quite gloomy and dark.
"We will reach the orange wasteland after about eighty kilometers." Ian turned to Luna and said: "Do you still have your scent? Did you sense any large monsters?"
Luna shook her head: "The smell is still there. It hasn't been destroyed."
Ian nodded. He looked at Dean: "Report to me as soon as you sense any movement. Do you understand?"
Dean nodded.
He looked at Luna. Her ability was also a kind of perception ability. But it was different from simple perception. Her ability had the effect of luring enemies. Her body could secrete urine with a special smell. This urine could be used as a road sign to mark the area. It could also lure some high-level monsters. These monsters would mistake it for the smell of their favorite food.
Once the smell was destroyed, it meant that there was a high-level monster.
Of course, this was only one of Luna's abilities. Her speed was increased by her ability, so she couldn't be underestimated. She was far better than people with the same physique. In addition, her sense of smell was also very sensitive. It could be said that she was the trump card of this team.
"Take a break and replenish your physical strength. We will enter the wasteland soon." Ian said.
Everyone stopped.
Ruby put down the huge backpack on his back and untied it. He took out food and water from it and handed it to the people who came to collect it. His food was the priority, and the food in each person's backpack was the last supply.
From the giant wall to here, they had been rushing for the whole morning. Although they had eaten before departure, but they had been in a state of tension along the way. Their bodies had consumed a lot of energy. They were a little hungry.
Soon, everyone finished eating. It only took them less than five minutes to finish, and that included rest time.
