In an instant, all the light disappeared. The boundless darkness swallowed everything, as if the whole world was shaking. Everyone was trembling and huddled together, for fear that the cave would collapse.

Huge noises continued to come, as dull as thunder, earth-shattering, shocking, and the human organs almost moved out of place. Chen Xing held his head and hid in a corner of the cave, feeling bitter and unspeakable in his heart. When would he be able to escape the fate of an ant?

No need to be so timid.

Although they may face disaster at any time, no one makes a sound. Perhaps this is the ultimate expression of fear - being scared into silence.

When Chen Xing was in the Lei Guang Regiment in his last life, the highest-level battles he had ever seen were those at the small lord level, and even a few kilometers away, he had never seen a king-level battle. Because for a mercenary of the size of the Lei Guang Regiment,

The king-level corps will disappear with just a swipe of your little finger, and there is no possibility of participating in the war. Unless a large mercenary group like the North Bridge Regiment can still play a certain role, it will only be a small corner of the battlefield.

The so-called "king level" refers to one person fighting against a country. The small king level corresponds to the combat power of the principality, and the large king level corresponds to the kingdom's combat power.

There are few battles between kings. Once a fight occurs, it may be global. After humans walked out of the underground safehouse and returned to the surface, there was only one world war. The main battlefield was in the central wilderness, the red, blue, and yellow countries.

During the war, all the countries in the eastern and western continents sent troops to participate in the war.

According to historical records, the war was so violent that the sun and the moon lost all light. Large tracts of land were rolled up and the mountains were torn into pieces. You can still see the deep marks left by the giant plows, criss-crossing them, like scars on the world.

.

In the darkness, after an unknown amount of time, the fighting outside gradually subsided. Flashlight beams lit up one after another, and everyone looked at each other, their faces full of joy of surviving the disaster. Then everyone started to move, and they started to fight.

The gravel and soil that buries the cave entrance.

"Wow!"

The afterglow of the setting sun shines in, and everyone's face is golden. When you get out of the cave, the fresh air rushes into your face, as if you have been reborn. The whole world is quiet, and the mountain col is filled with locust corpses.

At the end of the mountains, a palm-sized creature was slowly leaving. The Steam Corpse Kun was repelled, and everyone was safe. Perhaps it was because they were still frightened, or perhaps they felt heavy after losing several companions, and no one cheered.

If you want to completely eliminate Shikun, the little king-level Michael Luoluo can't do it. At least two big kings need to join forces to have a chance. But the big kings won't care about such trivial things, and even the little kings won't.

, only a strong man like Michael Luoluo who is close to the bottom would be willing to take action.

After a moment of silence, everyone began to clean up the scene. They still had food to eat and a place to stay, so there was no time for them to lament.

Da Mao directed the restoration work of the cave, while Chen Xing contacted Gui Hu, Wu Jinjian and Cassie.

"Boss, I'm fine." "Captain, the golden sword is still there." "Mr. Qin, I'm here, I'm fine, I'm a lucky little black man..."

When a familiar voice came from the walkie-talkie, Chen Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The list of losses came out quickly. Chen Xing's side was protected by caves and suffered the least losses. Only five people died. The remaining three camps were exposed and the number of personnel was reduced.

More than half.

Half of the team of more than 200 people was lost in an instant, which is really sad.

But in fact, if you look at it from the perspective of team building, it is not entirely a bad thing.

First of all, the cohesion of the team will be improved. Disasters can quickly bring people closer. Once you have experienced life and death, the friendship will be much deeper. In addition, the combat effectiveness will also be improved a lot. There is often only one difference between recruits and veterans.

A battle. If you have been on the battlefield and seen life and death, you will know what is going on. Next time you go to the battlefield, you will be much calmer.

The corpses and relics that could be found were moved together, wrapped in sheets, and placed at the foot of the mountain at the stronghold. Chen Xing took several squadron leaders and all the members of the master corps to hold a solemn military funeral.

The cemetery was chosen in a nearby valley, and some cold- and drought-resistant shrubs were transplanted around it. The tombstones were made of cut stones, and the names of the victims were carved on the flat side with a carving knife. Although it was very simple, it was

The habit of discarding corpses at will in the Black Death Continent has become hundreds of times better.

When all this was completed, looking at the tombstones lined up in the valley, a faint sense of belonging arose spontaneously. Wu Jinjian sighed, saying that if he could be buried here in the future, it would be considered a beginning and an end.

Indeed, as long as a mercenary who wanders around the world and wraps his body in horse leather has a companion who is willing to collect his body and find a place to bury it, and there are still people who remember him after his death, he will feel more peaceful when facing death.

In his last life, Big Mao mentioned more than once that he hoped to return to Longshi Town and be with his family after death. As for Chen Xing, he is a rootless person, and it doesn't matter where he is buried. This is why there is

The difference between roots and rootlessness is that people without roots will not even know where they are buried after death. This kind of sadness can only be experienced by those who are living in it. Wandering in a foreign land, there is nowhere to fall.

After the funeral, Chen Xing asked Da Mao and Wu Jinjian to sort out the belongings of the victims. As long as their home addresses could be found, all would be given pensions according to the standards of the edge town garrison.

This move moved the team members deeply. Thinking that their families will have a good income after death and their sacrifices will not be in vain, they feel that everything is worth it. Although they are all criminals, criminals are also human beings and have families and feelings. Thieves

It is also said that there are only a very few people who are truly perverted and don't even care about their family members. And usually no one wants such people.

Just think about it, if you don’t even care about your family, will you care about others?

Over the next period of time, order in the stronghold was slowly restored. In order to replenish personnel, Da Mao and Wu Jinjian took people to a nearby safe house to recruit people. In fact, there are also exile strongholds nearby, but they are all those who cannot afford to live in the safe house.

So, they have neither fighting ability nor courage, so they survive on a little relief food.

Relief food is a basic survival material distributed by the security department. It is distributed once a month to ensure that the exiles will not die of hunger.

In this world, discrimination is everywhere. These people who survive on relief food are called "roving rats" and have the dual identity of exiles and beggars. In the eyes of other exiles, their status is lower than that of refugees.

But it didn't take long for Da Mao and Wu Jinjian to come back empty-handed. In other survival shelters, they were blocked by local forces. There is an unwritten rule on the Black Earth Continent - the legion can only recruit from the security centers in the area.

personnel.

Since there were no strong forces in areas 26 and 28, they could recruit people there, but there were in other areas. In order to avoid conflicts, they did not continue.
