Bonfire Campsite

The convoy entered the passage of Line 6, and after further distance, finally arrived at the spacious hall, which is the place to wait and purchase tickets. They first came to the wall, where there were six tall iron buildings. Tom carefully examined them under the light and barely recognized their appearance.

"Dangdang!" Zhao Xin closed the car door and looked up at the huge iron tower excitedly, shouting, "Ah, we never found our automatic ticket machines so beautiful and sturdy before."

Yes, this is the automatic ticket machine in the subway. Customers only need to select their destination on the screen, and then they can purchase subway tickets to enter the station through various payment methods.

Tom noticed a awakened person standing in front of the ticket machine activating a power. He deformed the metal barrier and opened a big hole, and several strong soldiers entered with flashlights. It seemed that some of the things left behind from the last time were sealed inside.

Using the ticket vending machine as a storage warehouse is a good idea, although it seems that the items they move out are not very attractive to other creatures. But the supplies that were later moved in included food boxes in addition to ammunition, which made Tom understand that they were using this place as a material transfer station.

From a ceremonial perspective, this can also be considered as buying tickets to enter the station, right?

After they finished moving things, the convoy set off again and arrived at the tall gate. In the past, people needed to swipe tickets to enter, but for today's petty people, driving in is unimpeded. After passing quickly, they arrived at the spacious and dark station hall.

The subway station, which used to be bustling with people, has now fallen into a dead silence. The wind blowing up from the lower escalators is chilly, and the whistling sound of the wind covers the low honking of the electric car engines in the convoy.

At this time, the speed of the convoy slowed down, and all armed personnel were on high alert. Tom and Zhao Xin both returned to the carriage of the big truck, carrying the distributed heavy machine guns and cautiously looking around under the light of the large light bulb in front of the convoy.

Finally, the convoy came to a stop, and under the command of the loudspeaker, the soldiers got off one after another, dispersed according to the area, and were responsible for guarding in all directions. At the same time, specialized personnel have placed vertical lamp posts in multiple positions, providing more sufficient light for vigilant soldiers to observe the surrounding situation.

In addition to the large light bulb, they also brought out a square basin that was just ankle high, with a side length of about 6 centimeters. Subsequently, the person in charge of leading the team on the 23rd called Tom and Zhao Xin, and at this time, they were heavily armed with machine guns on the east guard.

Originally, they were asked to work as coolies, but the tarpaulin behind a large truck was pulled open and tied with large rectangular wooden strips, with a width of 3 centimeters and a length of about 12 centimeters. For them, it was like a big pillar. It seems that the plan is to have these two power awakeners work as coolies and move the wooden sticks into a large basin.

To Tom's surprise, Yuan Feipeng, as a shareholder, also came over wearing his Awakening Armor. He smiled and helped move together, removing a total of 30 wooden strips from half of the car.

Zhao Xin joked while moving, "How can we have the shareholders personally come and do the hard work?"

Yuan Feipeng cooperated with him to build the wooden strips and then said, "After coming out, I will be a warrior. It's just a matter of skill."

Tom quite likes Yuan Feipeng's attitude, just as Shen Jiayi said and did, they are the awakeners first, and then the leaders. In today's miniature apocalypse, every awakened one is extremely precious.

The last time the mutated Yuanbao chicken attacked Shen Jiayi was for a reason, because her unique psychic abilities attracted her. During the pursuit process, the mutated chicken was attracted by another female awakener in the nearby factory and instead rushed towards the factory.

Originally, Shen Jiayi took advantage of this opportunity to escape, but despite the dissuasion of the 38th, she once again activated her abilities and redirected the mutated chicken back towards her, avoiding casualties in the factory.

This is also the reason why Tom had a better impression of Shen Jiayi after learning about this afterwards.

They built eight wooden sticks into a well shape according to the instructions, and as Tom watched a soldier pour a bucket of liquid onto it, he couldn't help but wonder, "Although these wooden sticks are quite thick for us, if we burn them, they will be burned out soon."

Yuan Feipeng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that these fuels are made using some kind of technology. It is said that they can make wood burn for a long time."

At this point, A Bing, a staff member responsible for recording the Type 1 armor of the Jade Rabbit III, explained, "This is an improved formula from the fuel strengthening technology of the Energy Storage Crystal Application Technology 003 project. This liquid is called an inert combustion aid. After being absorbed by wood, it will reduce the combustion efficiency of the wood, release less heat than before, and naturally make the wood more durable to burn."

Tom nodded. For the little one, wooden sticks used to be very hot when burned, and if they were too close, the whole person would sweat profusely. If they reached into the fire, they would immediately burn. Nowadays, the combustion efficiency has been reduced, the temperature released has been lowered, and young people can get closer to the fire. It can also make wood burn longer, which is indeed a remarkable technology.

However, he remembered that Liu Lian had mentioned the fuel enhancement technology of the Energy Storage Crystal Application Technology 003 project, because this was what Liu Lian exchanged from the shelter.

At this moment, the wooden stick was ignited and burned with a shout. Zhao Xin excitedly asked, "How long can it be extended?"

Abing pushed his glasses and said, "I remember a wooden stick can delay the burning time by three times, but what I brought out today may be an upgraded version, which theoretically can reach a size of 5.3 times."

"Wow," Zhao Xin's face turned red under the glow of the fire, and he exclaimed, "That's amazing. That would be very convenient."

Abing said, "But this technology requires the use of energy storage crystals to manufacture. According to theory, the energy in the energy storage crystals actually attaches to the wood, and besides the wood, there is crystal energy that ignites this fire."

Zhao Xin immediately snapped his tongue upon hearing this and said, "If I were to be obedient, then this piece of wood would be very valuable. It's burned with crystals, supernatural powers..."

Tom sighed, however, as the application of crystal technology provided convenience and abilities for these little people. However, he never forgot that the crystals used behind each of these powers and conveniences were all exchanged for fresh lives.

"O descendants of giants, in order to survive in this world full of malice, you need to maintain a humble heart, live in harmony with Mother Earth, make good use of the legacy left by the ancestors of giants, redeem yourself, and complete evolution."

He thought of the words played in the Redemption Shelter built by the Darwin Order: Isn't the legacy left by the ancestors of giants these crystals?

Shaking his head, Tom dispelled these emotions and focused on safety for now.

The fire started, and the surrounding space became brighter and much warmer. On the 17th, the overall leader gathered the leaders of each group to prepare for task allocation. Zhao Xin naturally had to return to his position for vigilance, while Tom was kept as a consultant in the office of supernatural powers to listen to the task assignment.

Firstly, someone unfolded a floor plan, and a person wearing the armor of the Awakened began to explain the composition of the subway station, from the direction of the hall and its size, to the distribution and area of the adjacent miscellaneous rooms and restrooms.

During this period, Yuan Feipeng quietly told Tom that the man named Lu Chen was originally a duty station master at the subway station here. When the micro disaster occurred, he was working here at the industrial station. After waking up, he escaped from the subway station with several other duty personnel and hid in a garbage bin outside for a few days. Finally, he was rescued by a search team who came to the industrial station to check the situation.

As the webmaster, he led his colleagues to resist the attack of ants and cockroaches, and successfully awakened the triathlon ability. However, his body was a bit weak, so he was not selected for the ability team.

But it was precisely because he was the subway station manager that he was recruited as a consultant in the first instance of the Tianlong operation. It can be said that he is very familiar with the subway system, terrain, and routes.

On the 17th, the general leader looked at his watch and clicked on a room on the map with his baton: "Last time the scouts detected three locations of mutated creatures at the subway station, and the basement level was this miscellaneous room, temporarily designated as Nest 1. It is now 1823 (18:23) in the afternoon, and the team is repairing and defending. At 1900 (19:00), they will launch an attack on Nest 1 according to the pre arranged tactics and eliminate all the creatures inside!"

After giving the order, each leader dispersed. Before coming out, they had already held a meeting and assigned their own combat tasks. Now that they have arrived at their destination, the leaders need to go back and explain the specific execution steps to everyone.

Tom followed the 23rd back to the power team and explained the tasks of these two teams.

The main attacking force of Nest 1 is 5 armored vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and 8 armed pickup trucks, supplemented by infantry coordination. The infantry is still mainly composed of combat soldiers from the security department, with 83 out of 158 personnel drawn. On the side of the psychic team, the 16th ranked Shark team provides assistance, and Tom is also temporarily included in the attacking personnel list. However, he is not included in the Shark team organization and is only commanded by the temporary captain of the attacking team, 159.

This time, the soldiers from the Special Investigation Department and the foreign mercenary regiment in the convoy had the strongest combat effectiveness, but they were responsible for the defense task of the temporary camp centered around the campfire, and only sent relatively weaker security department soldiers to clear the No.1 lair.

After all, before the micro disaster, the situation in China was very comfortable. In terms of combat experience, most people in the security department had never even touched a gun. After the micro disaster, although the shelter increased the training intensity of the security department soldiers, Shen Jiayi still had to transfer a part of her special investigation department soldiers to serve as commanders for various combat tasks, leading ordinary people to grow as much as possible.

"Liang Guodong, as the captain of the Spring Knife Squad, you need to coordinate well with Tom and not drag down the entire combat mission." After the 23rd was assigned, he gave a serious command.

The captain of the Spring Knife Squad, Liang Guodong, is a thin guy who has reached a height of 7.6 centimeters. In the past, he was 1.82 meters tall, even taller than Tom. His dark and thick eyebrows were like sharp swords, making his entire face exude a sense of determination and seriousness. Under the command of number 23, he reached out to Tom and Tom shook his hand. His hoarse voice said, "Advisor An, it's nice to be with you."

"Captain Liang, you're welcome. We're all comrades in arms."

On the 23rd, he nodded in satisfaction. He understood that many members of the psychic team were not satisfied with Tom, as they were suddenly parachuted advisors. Therefore, for the reduced difficulty of the 1st nest attack mission, he would group the Spring Knife team together, which was not familiar with Tom, in order to help them quickly adapt.

As soon as he finished arranging to leave, Liang Guodong immediately let go with a gloomy face and said, "Advisor An, just wear your expensive mascot armor and hide behind obediently, so as not to hinder us."

Tom chuckled lightly and didn't care, as the other person's attitude was completely within his expectations.
