My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

outside the city.

On the rooftop of a not-so-tall building, Tang Yu held a telescope and observed the city gate.

Without any impassioned declarations before the battle, the mercenaries were assigned and mixed into the infantry formations of the army, while the armored formations also advanced slowly.

call out--

A sharp whooshing sound rang out from afar.

Tang Yu was taken aback and looked into the distance.

Several small black dots appeared in the sky.

The black dot was incredibly fast, leaving a trail of flames behind it. It had only just been seen rising from the shelter, and in the blink of an eye, it was already over Maple Leaf Town.

boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom boom boom!!!

A bright flash of fire.

Puffs of dust rose into the air.

Houses collapsed, and the ground shook.

From a distance, the clouds and mist resembled a blooming flower, enveloping the entire Maple Leaf Town.

Tang Yu gasped.

This is the power of firearms; perhaps only nuclear bombs are even more spectacular.

No matter how tenacious the life force of the mutated beasts is, most of them cannot survive such a violent explosion.

Especially around the Abyss Rift, in areas densely populated with demonic beasts, this wave of clearing will result in explosive damage output.

Beside the city wall.

The mercenaries were completely dumbfounded.

Modern people have never seen such a grand scene before. Even in the apocalypse, this scene is the first time most people have ever witnessed it.

Before long, the expressions on many people's faces changed from blank to ecstatic.

This wave of missiles must have wiped out the vast majority of the demonized beasts. Perhaps now, there are not many demonized beasts left around the abyss rift, and they only need to clean up a few that slipped through the net.

Earning these points is too easy.

Inside the command vehicle, Lu Jianjun looked at the screen on the vehicle.

The screen was blurry and kept losing signal; it was showing footage of the explosion in Maple Leaf Town.

Compared to the joyful expressions of most people, his expression remained serious.

After the apocalypse, missile positioning became difficult due to interference. Only because Maple Leaf Town was close by and had a large number of mutated beasts, it didn't require a very high accuracy rate to be used in this way.

Even so, Lu Jianjun still felt the pinch after those few missiles were fired.

Inventory is running low.

Manufacturing is even more impossible, not just because of technical issues... Before the apocalypse, producing a high-tech product required many raw materials and components from all over the world, but now, even communication has become a problem, so where are we going to get those materials?

Let alone missiles, Lindong currently lacks the capacity to produce even tanks and helicopters.

It would be good if it could be repaired.

"Sir, shall we proceed into Maple Leaf Town?"

An officer asked.

Lu Jianjun hesitated for a moment, "We can't underestimate the mutated beasts. Let's send a reconnaissance team into Maple Leaf Town to investigate first."

The officer saluted and turned to leave.

Lu Jianjun suddenly called out to the officers, "Tell them to be careful and get out alive."

Alive.

Two words.

It is a very heavy topic.

In the post-apocalyptic world, lacking reconnaissance methods, the reconnaissance soldiers fighting on the front lines often suffer the most severe losses.

Lu Jianjun knew this.

But they had no choice.

He needs to consider the bigger picture.

It would be great if the Academy of Sciences could develop methods for remote reconnaissance.

After suffering some casualties, news soon arrived.

As expected, most of the demonic beasts in Maple Leaf Town died in the explosion. Although the remaining few were still numerous, their threat had been greatly reduced.

This is within the expected range.

"Prepare to enter Maple Leaf Town. All personnel, increase alert. Open fire freely on the mutated beasts."

The rumbling torrent of steel surged forward, crushing everything in its path.

This commotion naturally attracted the remaining demonized beasts.

The tank's main gun roared, and a direct hit would pulverize even a high-level demonic beast awakened at the fourth or fifth level.

Maple Leaf Town, outskirts.

The buildings here did not suffer much damage from the explosion and most of them are still intact, except that the walls are covered with moss, giving them a sense of historical depth.

Demonic beasts occasionally dart out from the streets and inside buildings.

The sound of gunfire echoed incessantly.

Some of the demonic beasts rushed in front of the group, only to be killed by the awakened warriors and some mercenaries.

With far more people than beasts, the mercenaries fought desperately for them.

Occasionally, combatants would be injured or killed by attacks from the demonized beasts, which was to be expected. The team slowly advanced, gradually moving towards the abyss rift.

…………

Maple Leaf Town.

A rooftop.

Tang Yu held the telescope and observed silently.

They weren't observing the battle situation; they were looking for someone.

The official forces of Lindong consisted mainly of the military, which occupied the central position, while other high-ranking units were positioned on the flanks.

Tang Yu was looking for Lin Wei's team.

"Found it!"

Based on information gathered from Grayblade's investigation, Tang Yu discovered a team that met the requirements.

This team, mostly infantry, is incredibly strong, consisting primarily of Awakened Ones. They can easily push aside abandoned vehicles blocking their path, and even when they occasionally encounter powerful demonic beasts, they are easily killed with the help of these soldiers.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu took out a mirror-shaped prop from his spatial backpack.

[Detection Lens: Allows for long-range reconnaissance of an area, assessing enemy strength and marking enemies for a period of one week.]

This is one of the items Tang Yu collected after refreshing the market several times.

This disposable prop is the most suitable for him right now.

It's very effective and inexpensive... Well, the next sentence is the key point.

This tool serves not only for reconnaissance but also for marking purposes.

Tang Yu figured that after solving the abyss rift this time, Lin Wei would be able to find territory.

They might just come knocking on our door.

However, all of this is under surveillance, which is quite...hehehe.

"Yilian, your perception is the best, you go first."

Elaine nodded and took the lens.

Her pupils turned into a pure ice blue, her wide mage robes fluttered without wind, her hood fell down, and her long sky-blue hair flowed freely.

The lens in my hand emitted a faint glow.

Tang Yu stood to one side, and following the line of sight, he happened to see Yilian's delicate collarbone below her neck, and the detection lens that her hands were holding on her chest.

Slowly, an image appeared on the lens surface.

As if looking down from high above, the camera zooms in from a distance, and Lin Wei's team is clearly reflected in the mirror.

Although this team doesn't have heavy weapons like tanks and artillery like the military, Lin Wei's team has quite a few of the next level up, such as armored vehicles and heavy machine guns.

More often, they were well-equipped Awakened Ones, and their energy reactions were already visible in the lens.

A bird's eye view.

The camera finally focused on a middle-aged man.

Tang Yu was certain that this was Lin Wei himself.

At this moment, Lin Wei was not inside the armored vehicle. Instead, he was walking slowly, as if taking a stroll, surrounded by several guards.

The energy response of these guardians, as revealed by the lens, was indeed extremely high.

However...

Lin Wei is a guy who hides his true colors quite well.

Observation room

The team advanced slowly, not because of the demonized beasts, but because Lin Wei deliberately maintained a slow pace.

Even Tang Yu could see Lin Wei's selfish motives.

However, this is not important to him. As long as he can ensure that Lin Wei's main forces are under his control, that is enough.

It's a bit of a shame that it lacks long-range attack capabilities; otherwise, launching a sneak attack would be fantastic.

A direct confrontation is definitely not an option.

No matter how confident Tang Yu was, he didn't think that his mere three people could challenge Lin Wei's team.

I'd rather just be a quiet spectator.
