156 The Road to Other Cities (2)
After all, these big shots were all existences that could affect the entire situation.
Moreover, the two level seven Revered Elders of the Human Alliance had been defeated by that big bird when they joined forces last time. This also made the big shots of the army a little afraid.
What if the negotiation failed and the big bird directly flipped the table?
They were all people who were used to being high and mighty.
It was unlikely for them to take the initiative to run to the dojo master of some Beast Taming Dojo and say something.
Therefore, under the circumstances where they were afraid of attacking but were a little envious of those abilities, Hong Zhijun’s “Ironback Pig” successfully landed.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Hong brothers were, it was impossible for them to really build such an army composed of pigs in the army.
This time, other than wanting to make up for his previous mistakes, Wu Yan was also prepared to directly bring the “mental controller” business that had been blocked in Jiangzhou City to Qingquan City.
Although there were not many beasts in Jiangzhou City now, it was impossible for Wu Yan to snatch food from Lin Ye.
After all, after the Bone Spur Tiger was killed, he would no longer have the chance to show the strength of the “mental controller”.
The citizens would not just give up on buying beasts and just buy his mental controllers.
Of course, other than these two more obvious goals…
The big shot who supported Wu Yan even gave him a secret mission that he could not refuse—trying to use a mental controller to control some existences other than mutated beasts.
In this world, other than mutated beasts, what other creatures were there?
The polluters, and—humans.
It was also at this moment that Wu Yan understood why his “mental controller” project could be kept.
His superior’s motive was a little intriguing!
Just as Wu Yan was thinking about this in a daze, Hong Zhijie opened the tent and walked in.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Wu Yan smiled and shook his head.
“No, no.”
“We still have to rely on Commander Hong for this operation!”
Hong Zhijie did not waste his breath. He looked at Wu Yan and said,
“This time, I’m prepared to let our vice commander lead the team. In addition to the 100-man Beast Taming Team and the 100-man official team, a total of 200 people will come to carry out this investigation mission.
“After Zhijun returns to the team from the city, Captain Wu can set off with them.”
“Is Vice Commander Hong not around?”
“Yes, he went to the city to deal with some matters.”
As soon as Hong Zhijie finished speaking, the tent was opened again.
“Brother, I’m back…”
“Wu Yan?”
After walking into the tent excitedly, before Hong Zhijun could finish speaking, his originally happy face immediately became disgusted again when he saw Wu Yan.
“What are you doing here?”
Looking at the undisguised disgust on Hong Zhijun’s face, Wu Yan was not angry.
“Of course I’m here to carry out a mission with Vice Commander Hong.”
“A mission?!”
Hong Zhijun looked at Wu Yan suspiciously.
“Of course, you can ask Commander Hong.”
Hong Zhijun then looked at his brother.
Seeing Hong Zhijie nod, although Hong Zhijun was extremely unwilling, he could only brace himself.
“Tell me, what mission?”
After Hong Zhijie briefly explained the mission arrangements, he gave Hong Zhijun a look and walked out of the tent.
Hong Zhijun immediately followed.
Before leaving, he did not forget to glare fiercely at Wu Yan.
When the brothers arrived next door, Hong Zhijun immediately could not help but say,
“Big Brother, why do you want me to carry out the mission with that person?”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but kill him on the way.”
Hearing this, Hong Zhijie could not help but reach out and slap his stupid brother’s head.
“Kill who?!”
“There might be some mission on him. I don’t believe that it’s really as simple as restoring the road between Qingquan City and him this time.”
“It’s already been crippled for ten years. There’s no reason for them to suddenly want to open it.”
When Hong Zhijun heard this, he opened his mouth and did not continue to complain about killing Wu Yan.
Seeing Hong Zhijun shut up, Hong Zhijie continued,
“Be careful on the way and see if Wu Yan will do anything.”
“Of course, there’s also the issue of safety.”
“It doesn’t matter if the mission fails. At most, you’ll be criticized when you come back. However, remember not to force yourself.”
Hong Zhijun nodded.
“Yes, I know.”
“Alright, bring people to trigger it. I’ve already gathered everyone.”

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of the camp, Hong Zhijun stood at the front of the 200-strong army. He did not say anything and only waved his hand briefly, indicating for everyone to get into the car.
This time, the convoy consisted of 15 trucks and two off-road vehicles.
A total of 17 cars began to advance on the desolate road.
In Bighead’s SUV, Hong Zhijun, who was in the front passenger seat, looked at the map in his hand that had the route from Jiangzhou City to Qingquan City ten years ago. After looking at it for a while and not understanding it, he put it aside.
In the backseat, Bei Yun, who had set off with the main group, was still in an excited state.
Previously, he, who had never left the city, felt very curious about everything outside.
“This isn’t as dangerous as the rumors say ~”
Looking at this relatively flat road, Bei Yun leaned against the window and could not help but mutter softly.
The bored Hong Zhijun happened to hear Bei Yun’s words and could not help but smile.
“Kid, it’s still early ~”
“The first ten kilometers of this road are all roads left behind before pollution. There aren’t that many mutated beasts on both sides.”
“After we leave this range, you’ll know what a beast tide is in a while.”
Hearing Hong Zhijun’s words, Bei Yun did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he asked curiously,
“What about after ten kilometers? Is there no road anymore?”
“There is, and it’s a bigger and wider road. But what’s on the road… I don’t know.”
Bang ~
As soon as Hong Zhijun finished speaking, Bei Yun suddenly heard a sound from outside the car.
Startled, he immediately shrank back from the window.
Looking at the blood that suddenly splashed out of the glass outside his window, Bei Yun, who had recovered, immediately became excited.
“Is it a mutated beast?”
Hong Zhijun looked at the group of blood wolves that appeared in front of him and nodded slightly.
Then, he instructed the soldier in the driver’s seat,
“Accelerate and hit it directly.”
“Signify to the cars behind to keep their formation and not stop.”
After the lesson from that day, Hong Zhijun was prepared to follow the route on the map completely.
Even if this thing was already ten years old.
Even if… he had only driven seven to eight kilometers when he encountered a small blood wolf pack.
However, he was still not prepared to change his route.
Beep, beep, beep ~
After urgently honking three times, the convoy led by Hong Zhijun’s car directly rushed towards the group of blood wolves on the road.
Bang ~
Bang, bang, bang ~
In the car, Bei Yun listened to the sounds of collision and looked at the blood that splattered onto the car window from time to time. His blood boiled.
He wished he could get out of the car and ride his Ironback Pig King to compete with these mutated beasts.
In the front passenger seat, Hong Zhijun looked at the eager expression on Bei Yun’s face from the rearview mirror and could not help but shake his head and laugh.
This kid had a big heart.
Unfortunately, these sounds that were like drumbeats on the battlefield did not last long.
After charging for less than a minute, this blood wolf pack with only a hundred or so was crushed by the convoy.
Only a few sporadic ones were still following behind perseveringly.
Then, it was directly dealt with by the soldiers in the truck with guns.
After driving on the road for about seven to eight minutes, Bei Yun saw an unforgettable scene.
Not far behind the wide road in front of him, tall buildings dozens of meters tall stood.
However, at this moment, all these tall buildings were covered in green moss.
There were even many towering trees that grew out of those dilapidated or half-collapsed tall buildings.
The combination of steel bars, mud, forest, and nature made Bei Yun, a child who had grown up in the “new city” Jiangzhou City that had been built after pollution, feel an unprecedented impact.
