Return to the month before the end of the world

Chapter 256 Heading to Imperial City

After returning to the training camp, Lu Daneng and others immediately called everyone for a meeting, and Xiao Chan participated in the meeting as a special guest.

Lu Daneng talked about what he saw and heard at the meeting, and decided that their future research direction would mainly focus on thermal weapons, and they should make achievements as soon as possible according to the situation.

Those members who did not participate in the exchange looked at each other in confusion, but seeing that the colleagues around them were silent and Xiao Chan was sitting on top, no one expressed any objection.

Afterwards, Xiao Chan also delivered a speech.

"You are all the pillars of Chaoyang City. I am very satisfied with your recent contributions. Now the human crisis is still deepening, so I hope you can give full play to your imagination, such as how to strengthen Chaoyang City's city defense, and how to design Lighter and more powerful weapons, etc.”

"These are urgent matters. I hope everyone can maintain a sense of crisis. Maybe one of your wild ideas can change the plight of mankind."

Lu Daneng and others were a little embarrassed because they had been conducting research in this area since their establishment, but there had been no results. It seemed that the president was very dissatisfied with their progress.

After the meeting, the entire institute took action and worked together to achieve results.

If the research institute in Taohuayuan catches up with them, then they will be worthless, and in the future, people who cannot create value will often just linger.

The same is true now in Chaoyang City. The greater the contribution, the higher the treatment one can enjoy.

Nowadays, regardless of celebrities or the like, people who cannot bring value to society will gradually be abandoned by society.

While Xiao Chan was checking the recent situation of the Mercenary Association, Li Xue, who had been waiting beside him, reported another news.

"Chief, we recently investigated the traces of the Death Messenger. He is still active among the mercenaries, but he is particularly vigilant. We can't find any clues for the time being."

Xiao Chan couldn't help but hesitate. Although the infection crisis in Chaoyang City has ended, the murderer behind the scenes has never been caught, and she has never given up looking for it.

However, it is very difficult to find a person in the huge crowd, so the clues were found only recently.

"Try every possible means to find him, otherwise Chaoyang City will never have peace."

"Yes, chief."

A few days later, a shocking but not surprising news came. A mercenary met with the mercenary from Yucheng.

The news quickly spread throughout the city, and everyone was delighted.

Yucheng learned the good news earlier than Chaoyang City, because it was closer to Yucheng and the news was transmitted faster.

When the news came back, Yucheng was quite shocked, because it was only a few dozen miles away from Yucheng. They never expected that Chaoyang City would move so quickly.

Yang Mingyu immediately ordered to send almost all mercenaries around to prepare for contact with Chaoyang City.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Chan also made arrangements to go to Yucheng in person.

Zhan Beizun was a little helpless when he learned that his wife was going out again, but he could understand it. After all, this was a big event, and Xiao Chan's identity was suitable, so he could only tell her to be careful.

Xiao Chan naturally would not let down her guard and left Chaoyang City with her personal guards.

The so-called personal guards can be regarded as Xiao Chan's personal guards. Xiao Chan selected hundreds of people from the Detachment of Women as personal guards and would take them with her wherever she went.

This time they did not return empty-handed, but brought two trucks of canned food and other food.

Their appearance quickly attracted the attention of the mercenaries, but due to the reputation of the Detachment of Women, no one dared to come up and talk to them.

As the road conditions get worse and worse, fewer and fewer mercenaries are encountered, and the level of danger increases.

The wilderness is really too big. Unless mercenaries are constantly combing the surrounding area, safety can be ensured. The further away from the city, the more dangerous it becomes.

Now Xiao Chan and others appear in the area that has just been pacified. The large army of alien beasts has been basically cleaned up, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.

The reason for this situation is Zhan Beizun's strategy of selling weapons. On the one hand, the existence of Peach Blossom Spring means that they don't have to worry about firearms. On the other hand, they may also want to return their money urgently.

After all, the cost of running a city is not low. Although the city lord's palace can owe it, this is not good after all.

After Zhan Beizun thought about it carefully, he also found Xiao Chan for discussion, and finally decided to sell firearms to relieve the pressure on the city.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the city, the city divided the East District, which is also the area where mercenaries gather.

While selling guns, the East District will be able to carry weapons on the streets, and internal fighting will be strictly restricted. In other areas of the city, it is strictly prohibited to carry any weapons. If found, you will be fined. If the situation is critical, you can be shot on the spot.

The reason for this is actually to prevent interference with the normal operation of the city. As the number of mercenaries increases sharply, more and more people begin to go out carrying weapons.

In particular, the large-scale popularization of firearms is likely to cause losses, so some enforcement measures must be taken.

The vast majority of people support the appointment of the City Lord's Mansion.

The Chaoyang Army patrolling the city is eyeing people with weapons, which puts them under great pressure. It is also a good thing to relax restrictions.

For ordinary people, doing so will undoubtedly protect their life safety, which is a good thing.

With the influx of firearms, the strength of the mercenary group increased dramatically, and even some areas that had not been eliminated before could be successfully captured.

All this happened after Chu Tiange became an awakened person, because Xiao Chan knew that the status of thermal weapons would gradually decline in the future, and now was the best time to sell firearms.

In the future, as the strength of the awakened ones continues to increase, it will be very easy to dodge bullets, and thermal weapons will only be effective on rare occasions.

Even so, Xiao Chan and others were still very vigilant and placed some warning measures around to prevent attacks by strange beasts in the middle of the night.

However, what they didn't expect was that just as the Detachment of Women was setting up camp for dinner, mercenaries came to the door.

A "bang" gunshot caused the entire camp to quickly enter a fighting state. Song Jia went out to check the situation.

A few minutes later, Song Jia came back and informed Xiao Chan that there was a mercenary group who wanted to join the group to keep warm.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in the wild. After all, humans are quite dangerous in the wild. Sometimes mercenaries will join a group to keep warm, so that they have enough strength to fight back in case of emergencies.

However, there are certain risks in such behavior. If someone has evil intentions and does some bad things late at night, there is a high probability that they can succeed.

"Let them set up camp next to it."
