29 Chapter 29: City Defense Cannon?

Yan Fei was one of the participants in the B-level mission. He came alone to a ruined city closest to the Gathering Place out of curiosity. He thought that if there were really people, they would most likely be hiding here.

Splat!

Yan Fei killed a Tier 1 mutant with one slash and spat on the corpse, "Dirty mutants, I really don't know how such things exist in the world. I wish all mutants were dead, along with the Mutant Beasts."

He was disgusted with mutants. Since he was young, his relatives had died at the hands of mutants, becoming his childhood nightmare. If he hadn't been lucky, he would probably have died at the hands of mutants too.

This led him to try to kill every mutant he encountered outside, unless he was not a match for them.

Yan Fei looked around and found some traces leading here. It seemed that they had passed through the ruined city and were heading further away.

"Should I go over there?" Yan Fei was hesitant. Even though he was a Tier 3 Transcendent, he was still worried that there might be danger.

After thinking for a while, Yan Fei finally decided to go and take a look. If there was really any danger, he still had some confidence in being able to escape.

He took out a map and looked at it carefully.

"According to the map, there is a coal mine in this direction. Could it be there?"

Yan Fei was very cautious and slowly approached the location of the coal mine. Finally, he entered the range of the base's alert and was detected by the system.

Behind a small mound, there was a machine gun bunker and a sentry cannon, both of which were set up by Su Chen and had not been used since their establishment.

At this moment, a Soldier in the machine gun bunker received a command from the Commander to fire in a certain direction.

Naturally, the Commander's command could not be disobeyed. One of the Soldiers quickly came to the position of the sentry cannon, adjusted its position, and fired a shot.

Bang!

Yan Fei heard the sound and was a little puzzled. What was that sound?

Just as he was trying to recall, the shell fell less than 50 meters away from him.

Boom!

Yan Fei's ears were temporarily deafened by the explosion, and he felt like he had lost his ears.

"How could there be a cannon here? Judging from its power, it's comparable to the weakest city defense cannon in the base city." Yan Fei cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, the body of a Transcendent was relatively strong. After a few minutes, he felt that he could finally hear sounds again. Yan Fei retreated a few hundred meters before stopping.

He felt his heart beating faster and his face turning pale.

"If that shell had been a little closer to me just now, I would have been done for. Isn't this supposed to be near the coal mine? How could there be a city defense cannon here?" Yan Fei couldn't figure it out.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to call everyone else over and think of a solution together.

Su Chen saw the signal flare that the guy had fired but did not stop him. This was intentional.

The system's mission was to control the base city, so this was a breakthrough point. It might be possible to weaken some of the base city's forces.

The most important thing was that he saw that he was very close to the next Commander level, and when he reached level 4, he could unlock two buildings, the airfield and the war factory.

With these two things, he could create a tank army and an armed helicopter army. With both land and air forces, nothing would be a problem.

He could guess that the base city probably had an air force, but with Red Alert, he was not afraid of anything!

After a while, everyone, including Qi Shao, gathered together.

"What did you find?" Qi Shao asked.

"Qi Shao, I was almost hit by a shell about 500 meters ahead of us. If I'm not mistaken, there must be something wrong there," one person replied.

Qi Shao raised his eyebrows. A shell? This was a remote mountainous area. How could there be a shell?

"Could it be related to the situation at Gathering Place? Is it the third party?" another person exclaimed.

Qi Shao squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He couldn't see what was happening far away, but since they had discovered something suspicious, he couldn't give up.

It could be not just a helicopter, but a military base that could be excavated! This possibility was not impossible. Before the Apocalypse, this country had established hidden military bases in many places. After the Apocalypse, some bases were excavated, which expanded the combat power of the base cities.

If someone accidentally discovered a new military base, it would be normal to protect it.

Qi Shao's eyes were hot. If they really discovered a military base, their Qi family might become the leader of Wangchang City!

"I now command you to go and investigate. If you find any important clues, I will guarantee that you will have endless wealth and energy crystals as the heirs of Qi Shao!" he said.

The three people then realized that Qi Shao was not only the young master of the Qi family but also the heir of the Qi family, a more prestigious position than they had previously known.

Thinking of the Qi family's power, the three had no intention of resisting. If they didn't follow Qi Shao's orders, even if they returned to the base city, their fate would be miserable.

The three looked at each other and decided to take the risk. If they succeeded, they would have a worry-free life for the rest of their lives. If they failed, their lives would be in danger.

Yan Fei, as the representative, said, "Please rest assured, Qi Shao. We will definitely bring back valuable intelligence."

"Good, go ahead."

The three did not enter together but went in from three different directions. They were not stupid. If they were together, they would be easily discovered. Only by fighting separately would it be the safest method.

Su Chen smiled. These guys were indeed very greedy.

But if they weren't greedy, how could he proceed to the next step?

"Send some people over and catch them as absentees. I happen to be short of people here," he commanded.

With Su Chen's order, a small team of soldiers ran towards the direction of the three people.

These soldiers were at least at the third-order initial stage. There were too many soldiers, and even if Su Chen was squeezed dry, he wouldn't have enough energy to upgrade them all to the fourth-order peak. Therefore, he had to choose to upgrade them to at least the third-order initial stage, which would give them some self-protection ability.

If people knew that only third-order initial stage soldiers had self-protection ability here, they would probably be scared.

Yan Fei and the other two were unaware that their every move was being monitored by Su Chen. The radar was invincible.

Yan Fei didn't know the situation of the other two, but he finally used his expertise and got close to the place where the shell was fired. Finally, he saw it. The gun looked more advanced than a city defense gun.
