Outside the city.
On the roof of a not-so-high building, Tang Yu was observing the city gate with binoculars.
There was no impassioned pre-battle declaration. The mercenaries were assigned and mixed into the army's infantry phalanx. The armored phalanx also slowly moved forward.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound rang in the distance.
Tang Yu was startled and looked into the distance.
A few small black dots appeared in the air.
The black dots were extremely fast, dragging a tail flame. They just rose from the shelter, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived above Maple Leaf Town.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Intense flames shone.
Bursts of smoke and dust rose into the air.
Houses collapsed, and the ground trembled.
From a distance, the cloud of smoke looked like a blooming flower, enveloping the entire Maple Leaf Town.
Tang Yu sucked in a cold breath.
This was the power of thermal weapons. Perhaps only nuclear bombs were more spectacular.
No matter how tenacious the demonic beast's vitality was, most of them couldn't survive such a violent explosion.
Especially around the crack of the abyss, where the demonic beasts were densely packed. This wave of destruction was explosive.
On the city wall.
The group of mercenaries was even more stunned.
Modern people had never seen such a big scene. Even in the doomsday, such a scene was the first time for most people.
After a while, the expression on many people's faces changed from sluggish to ecstatic.
This wave of missiles must have destroyed most of the demonic beasts. Perhaps there weren't many demonic beasts surviving around the crack of the abyss. They just needed to clean up the fish that escaped the net.
It was too easy to earn points.
Inside the command vehicle, Lu Jianjun looked at the screen in the car.
The screen wasn't clear, and the signal was lost from time to time. It was showing the scene of the explosion in Maple Leaf Town.
Compared to most people's joyful expression, his expression was still serious.
After the doomsday, the missile positioning was difficult due to interference. Maple Leaf Town was close, and there were a large number of demonic beasts. It didn't require a high accuracy rate.
Even so, Lu Jianjun was distressed after these missiles were fired.
There wasn't much inventory left.
It was impossible to manufacture them. It wasn't just a technical problem. Before the doomsday, to produce a high-tech product, many raw materials and parts came from all over the world. But now, even communication was a problem. Where could they get those materials?
Not to mention missiles, Lindong didn't even have the conditions to produce tanks and helicopters.
It was good enough that he could cultivate it.
"Chief, are we going to enter Maple Leaf Town?"
An officer asked.
Lu Jianjun hesitated, "We can't underestimate the demonic beast. First, send a reconnaissance team to investigate Maple Leaf Town."
The officer saluted and turned to leave.
Lu Jianjun suddenly stopped the officer. "Tell them to be careful and come out alive."
Alive.
Two words.
It was a very heavy topic.
After the end of the world, there was a lack of investigative methods. The scouts who fought on the frontlines were often the ones who suffered the most losses.
Lu Jianjun knew this.
But he had no choice.
He had to consider the bigger picture.
It would be great if the Academy of Science could develop a long-range surveillance method.
After paying a certain number of casualties, news soon arrived.
In Maple Leaf Town, as expected, most of the demonic beasts died in the explosion. Although the remaining ones were still a lot, the threat had been reduced a lot.
This was within the range of his predictions.
"Prepare to enter Maple Leaf Town. Everyone, be on alert and fire freely at the demonic beast."
Rumbling sounds could be heard as the steel flood advanced, crushing everything in its path.
This movement naturally attracted the remaining demonic beasts.
The tank's main cannon roared. Even a Fourth or Fifth Awakening demonic beast would be smashed to pieces if it was hit head-on.
Maple Leaf Town, the periphery.
The buildings here hadn't suffered much damage from the explosion. Most of them were still intact. But the walls were covered with moss. At first glance, it looked quite historical.
Demonic beasts rushed out from time to time on the streets and inside the buildings.
Gunshots rang out incessantly.
Some demonic beasts rushed to the front of the team and were beheaded by the military hunters and mercenaries.
There were many people and few beasts. The mercenaries fought hungrily.
Occasionally, some combatants were injured and killed by the demonic beast attack. This was expected. The team slowly advanced and gradually moved towards the crack of the abyss.
… …
Maple Leaf Town.
On the roof of a building.
Tang Yu silently observed with binoculars.
He wasn't observing the battle. He was looking for someone.
The military was the main force of Lindong's official team. They were in the middle. The other high-level teams were on the flanks.
Tang Yu was looking for Lin Wei's team.
"Found it!"
According to some information from Gray Blade's investigation, Tang Yu found a team that met the requirements.
Most of this team was infantry, but they were very strong. They were basically hunters. They could easily push away abandoned vehicles blocking the road. Even if they occasionally encountered a powerful demonic beast, they were easily killed with the cooperation of these people.
After thinking for a while, Tang Yu took out a mirror-like prop from his space backpack.
[Detection Lens: Can investigate an area from a distance. Detect the enemy's strength and mark the enemy. Marking lasts for a week.]
This was one of the props Tang Yu collected after refreshing the market several times.
This kind of disposable prop was the most suitable for him now.
Big effect, cheap price … well, the last sentence was the key.
This kind of prop, in addition to reconnaissance, also had a marking function.
Tang Yu estimated that after solving the crack of the abyss this time, Lin Wei would be able to find his territory.
Most likely, he would come straight to his door.
However, all of this was under surveillance. Wouldn't that be bad?
"Elaine, your perception is the highest. You do it."
Elaine nodded and took over the lens.
Her pupils turned into a pure ice blue color. Her wide mage robe fluttered without wind. The hood fell, and her long blue hair fluttered.
In her hand, the lens glowed.
Tang Yu stood on the side and followed her line of sight. He happened to see the delicate collarbone under Elaine's neck, and the detection lens in her hands on her chest.
On the surface of the lens, a picture slowly appeared.
As if overlooking from a high altitude, the lens zoomed in from a distance, and Lin Wei's team clearly appeared in the mirror.
Although this team didn't have heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery like the military, Lin Wei's team had a lot of second-class equipment such as armored vehicles and heavy machine guns.
Most of them were well-equipped hunters. One by one, their energy response was displayed on the lens.
At a glance.
The lens finally stopped on a middle-aged man.
Tang Yu was sure that this was Lin Wei himself.
At this moment, Lin Wei didn't stay in the armored vehicle. Instead, he was walking slowly under the escort of several guards.
The lens showed the energy response of these guards. As expected, it was extremely high.
But …
Lin Wei, this guy, hid his strength a bit deep.
In the observation room.
The team advanced slowly, not because of the demonic beast's obstruction, but because Lin Wei deliberately maintained a slow speed.
Tang Yu could see Lin Wei's selfishness.
However, this wasn't important to him. It was enough to ensure that the main force in Lin Wei's hands was under control.
It was a pity that there was no super long-range attack method. Otherwise, it would be great to sneak a wave of attacks.
It's impossible to face them head-on.
No matter how confident Tang Yu was, he didn't think that the three of them could attack Lin Wei's team.
