In order to form a scale of crystal corn as soon as possible, Tang Yu could only resist the desire to eat and cultivate quickly. Before the next batch of crystal jade rice matured, he would not touch a single crystal corn.
On the other side.
The Departure airship was ready to go again. This time, the target was the prosperous and chaotic Yangtze River Delta area.
In the past few days, the Departure had experienced a lot of battles. The team members were more in sync, and the airship could exert a higher combat power. Unfortunately, the airship consumed a lot of spirit stones every time it fought, and the loot was small. It was a big loss, so it couldn't organize too many actual combat exercises.
The leader was replaced by Shay. The Airborne Special Warfare Regiment also expanded from 20 people to 50 people.
Roger and Sky were working on expanding the members of the Garrison Corps and the Survey Corps.
Especially the Survey Corps. Although the exploration range was expanding day by day, the scale of 300 people had long been unable to meet the requirements. This time, the Airborne Special Warfare Regiment transferred 20 to 30 people.
Recruiting new members was an urgent matter.
But in line with the principle of better quality than quantity, the scale still couldn't expand too much.
The two major corps belonged to the official force of the shelter. Different from the mercenary corps and adventurer groups, they had strict requirements. During non-mission periods, they were also required to participate in training on time. There were also assessment indicators for character. Among the registered adventurers, there were many masters, but they either couldn't enter or were unwilling to enter.
It was estimated that the formation of a thousand people was the limit.
The two corps added up to 2,000 people, plus the martial arts apprentices and intelligence officers of the intelligence department. The available manpower was actually not small.
Many senior adventurer groups were also external personnel that could be used by the territory. Through cooperation and missions, they didn't reject doing some things for the shelter.
But they weren't loyal enough. In many cases, it involved secrets. Tang Yu didn't take these people into consideration.
The airborne soldiers had boarded the airship, and the boxes of materials had been transported.
Unlike the materials shipped to Jingcheng last time, in addition to a large number of DE-grade rune equipment, there were also C-grade equipment and even a dozen B-grade weapons. There were also a lot of resources needed for cultivation.
"After handing this batch of materials to Gretel, remember to look for a suitable location to establish a sub-territory over there."
Tang Yu didn't follow on the airship and said to Shay next to him.
Shay, who was wearing a B-rank combat suit and carrying a flight backpack, chuckled. "The environment of the Yangtze River Delta suits me quite well. Since the Overlord has ordered, I'll stay there for a while before coming back."
"Inform me after choosing a location. Also, pay more attention to the news of the Spirit Stone Mine."
Shay replied and boarded the airship.
With a light hum, the runes engraved at the bottom of the airship lit up, and the enormous and magnificent airship slowly rose into the air. When it reached a certain height, it began to accelerate and disappeared into the horizon with a whoosh.
"Yangtze River Delta …"
Tang Yu looked at the sky for a moment, then suddenly turned around and returned to the castle.
…
Shay stood on the deck, smoking a cigarette and overlooking the great mountains and rivers. "The only regret is that there's no wind on the deck."
After smoking a cigarette, he returned to the cabin and found Ma Liguo.
"How long do we have to fly to our destination?"
"About ten hours. It's my first time flying to Yangtze River Delta, so the estimated time might not be accurate."
"So long?"
Shay was surprised.
He heard it took less than an hour to fly from the territory to Jingcheng. Although the Yangtze River Delta was much farther than Jingcheng, it wasn't ten times the distance.
Ma Liguo always observed the situation outside and shook his head. "To the Yangtze River Delta, we have to pass through many dangerous areas along the way. Especially the area on the periphery of the Yangtze River Delta. It's a six-star danger zone. If Departure can't pass through that area, we can only consider a detour. We can cross from the sea, then walk to the estuary and enter the Yangtze River Delta."
Shay nodded in understanding.
It's not that he didn't understand, but he was bored.
He had learned a lot about the situation of the Yangtze River Delta from the Lord.
It was both prosperous and chaotic.
Like Luoxia, in the surrounding three prefecture-level city areas, except for the Luoxia Shelter, there were very few small and medium-sized shelters.
In Lindong, Jingcheng, and other areas, in addition to the satellite cities and transit stations established by large shelters, most of the small and medium-sized shelters had been taken back and integrated into the large shelters.
The Yangtze River Delta was different. In addition to the area, there was a circle of six-star danger zone that surrounded the entire triangular area. The density of demonic beasts inside was not high. As long as the small and medium-sized shelters weren't close to the edge, they could survive well without being pressured to integrate into the large shelters.
With a large number of survivors, exchanges and trade between the various shelters were very frequent.
But it was also chaotic. Attacks between shelters were not uncommon.
In addition to a few large shelters with a relatively high status, small and medium-sized shelters annexed each other and plundered resources.
"His Lordship seemed to have said that humans are creatures that when external threats are not great, internal conflicts will inevitably erupt. Now, it seems that this is the case. However, this kind of environment is much more interesting than staying in the territory to train every day or going out to search for resources."
Shay was excited.
Fighting against demonic beasts was boring. Fighting against humans could make his blood boil. He couldn't wait to explode a few beer bottles.
Ma Liguo meticulously commanded the airship to repel several waves of demonic beasts.
Shay felt bored and returned to the deck again.
A few hours of travel passed by playing cards.
Without facing the Protoss sisters and the Carmen brothers, Shay regained his elegant demeanor as the King of Cards.
Gradually,
The airship was getting closer and closer to the destination. Ma Liguo's voice spread throughout the airship.
"The Voyager is about to increase its altitude and pass through the six-star danger zone. All departments, please be prepared, be vigilant, be vigilant!"
Shay glanced at the bad cards in his hand and immediately got up, "All airships enter the first level of combat readiness."
He walked to the bow position.
From afar, he could see the end of the horizon ahead. The sky above the small city was filled with red mist.
The airship was increasing its altitude and passing through the clouds. Soon, he couldn't see the figure below. However, the floating red mist could still be seen at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. It dyed the clouds red.
The Voyager seemed to be sailing on a red ocean.
It was so red that it was frightening.
The red mist released by the ordinary crack of the abyss was pale red. This area was completely dyed red, even deep red. Shay knew it was because there were countless cracks of the abyss below.
They were taking a safer route at this time. More than a month ago, Gretel and the others drove the floating chariot through the six-star danger zone.
The difference was that the floating chariot could only fly at low altitude. But the airship flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which was safer.
"I don't know how Gretel and the others passed through. Why did they have to go through the six-star danger zone? It felt like they were courting death. But they succeeded."
Shay looked down.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, there were still a lot of flying demonic beasts attacking the airship, either alone or in groups.
"Fortunately, there are no supernatural beings. It's not my turn to attack."
But on second thought, it seemed that there was a supernatural being. It was useless for him to attack.
After sailing for more than half an hour, the crew was quite frightened.
Finally,
The red color of the sea of clouds below gradually faded and returned to the normal color of the clouds.
The Voyager flew for a while before it began to descend.
Shay, who ran to the stern, saw the red mist line gradually disappearing. At full speed, except for the flying demonic beasts that happened to collide head-on, the Voyager easily left the others behind.
The ground below was devastated. There was no trace of hunter activity.
They continued to fly for more than a hundred kilometers. During this period, they only encountered one crack of the abyss, which was only 50 meters.
There weren't many demonic beasts on the ground.
The airship flew at an altitude of hundreds of meters. Activating the rune concealment, they went deep into the area. Shay finally saw traces of survivors. A shelter with thousands of people.
