Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 131 No Advantage This Time
The Anqing ruins are on the west bank of the Yangtze River, while the Anqing city is on the east bank further downstream.

When the wooden boat drifted downstream to the vicinity of the Anqing ruins, all the crew members on board became nervous.

And when Chen Jian asked them to stop the ship on the east coast, they refused again and again.

According to them, although the east coast is not the territory of the demons in the Anqing ruins, due to the bridge connecting it, there are still occasional demon activities nearby, and it is too dangerous to stop the ship rashly.
-
But Chen Jian and his friends gave too much.

As a result, the team successfully landed near the Anqing Bridge on the east bank, quickly cleared the surrounding environment and set up a simple camouflage. The drone immediately took off and began close aerial reconnaissance of the Anqing ruins 5 kilometers away.

Chen Jian transferred the drone images to the smart eyepiece and PDA synchronously, and handed the PDA to Zeng Yi and others to ensure that they could obtain intelligence synchronously.

Everyone was staring at the drone screen, and soon, the first abnormal heat source appeared in front of everyone.

The drone lowered its altitude and the imaging switched to white light mode.

Chen Jian saw that more than one hundred sheds of various types had been built in the square on the west bank of the lake within the Anqing ruins.

There was a bonfire burning in the middle of the shed, but the light came from more than just the bonfire.

A few shacks that looked more solid and refined emitted cold light from electric lamps, and following the direction of the electric wires, Chen Jian also discovered the generator on the south side of the shack area.

Human + animal power generator.

Several huge squirrel cages drive the generator rotors to rotate continuously, delivering electricity continuously into the shantytown.

Chen Jian enlarged the image and discovered that the person working inside the generator was not the prisoner as he had initially guessed, but a relatively strong demon.

They have formed a social division of labor in this settlement, which is completely different from the demon camp near Hanshui City!

This is a bad sign.

If there is further evidence that their social structure is becoming more complex,
Then this group of demons will no longer be a mob, but may be transformed into an "army" with relatively loose command!

When the number of fighters reaches a certain threshold, every small increase in organization will result in a big improvement in combat effectiveness.

There are already hundreds of terrifying demons here. How many are there in the entire Anqing ruins?
Chen Jian signaled He Shuo to raise the drone and continue searching, and soon they found more scattered terror camps in the city.

Most of these camps are in the form of sheds built outdoors, but a few camps directly utilize the low buildings within the ruins.

All the camps were relatively scattered around a hospital building, forming a circle.

Roads have been opened between each camp to ensure that the demons in the ruins can move and communicate smoothly.

This kind of "urban planning" cannot be said to be very advanced, but at least
It is definitely not something those brainless orcs can do!
Chen Jian's mood became heavier. After observing for a long time, he said:
"The number of demons in the Anqing Ruins is conservatively estimated to be over 3000. This is just a simple guess based on the number and size of the camps."

"If we take into account the small groups of terror demons that do not live in the camp but roam in the ruins, the number will increase further."

"4000 to 5000, this should be a relatively reliable number."

"It's very troublesome."

"very troublesome."

"Didn't the Ring Chamber of Commerce know that there were so many terrifying demons here before issuing this mission? Has no one ever approached the Anqing ruins and tried to conduct close reconnaissance?"

"should not."

Ji Xing on the side shook his head and said:
"Anqing is a relic that has been almost drained dry. It is one of the most important nodes on the trade route."

"Decades ago, the Mechanicus cleared out several monsters active in the vicinity at all costs, including a level three monster."

"After that, the Mechanicus led a large number of civilians to complete the plunder of the Anqing ruins, and with the help of the resources found in the ruins, they established a new Anqing city on the east coast."

"And at this point, they no longer have the motivation to continue exploring the Anqing ruins."

"It has been at least more than a decade since anyone entered the Anqing ruins. The trade route does not pass through there, and there is nothing valuable there."

"Even if we knew there were terrifying demons inside, Anqing City would not pay much attention to it. After all, there are terrifying demons everywhere, right?"

"Although the terrifying demons here often attack the trade routes, the losses are generally not that great, so the major forces have no motivation to wipe them out."

"I'm afraid only the people from the Circle Chamber of Commerce would issue such a task. They like to do things that make no sense."

After Ji Xing finished speaking, Chen Jian shook his head and said:

“It makes sense, but it also makes sense.”

"There are more than 4,000 Terror Demons, which is almost larger than Anqing City."

"The resources they consume every day are enormous. Can they be self-sufficient?"

"The hunting ground on the north side."

Zeng Yi added:
"They will likely go north and west to carry out their raiding and hunting activities."

"You have to know that blood skeletons can eat monster meat."

"Their blood is even more stable than the blood of monsters."

"Even if it is contaminated by monsters, the probability of continuing to reproduce blood skeletons is very high." "And those monsters that are reproduced will also become special blood skeletons because of some hidden blood connection - just like the Bloody Sun General we saw before."

Chen Jian nodded suddenly.

In fact, he had guessed what Zeng Yi said, but because it was "not that important", he did not confirm it with others.

But now it seems that this feature is not really insignificant.

What exactly is Huadu researching?
Is their research also related to the special genetic stability of the blood skull?

Depend on.

Are they also trying to save humanity?
In this way? ?
Chen Jian turned to look at Shen Yue, and the other person's eyes were equally solemn.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly said:
"If it were me, after discovering that the genetics of blood skeletons are far more stable than those of ordinary human individuals, I would also try to study them."

"Intuitively, this is indeed a path that could allow the human race to continue."

"The genetics of the Blood Skull are much more stable than those of the so-called Holy Blood, and they are naturally resistant to monster genes."

"What if we introduce this gene into human genes?"

"Those giant monsters obviously can't reproduce. They are just the product of mutation."

"If this path can be taken, then humans don't even need to be enemies with monsters."

"We just need to hide, live well, and wait for the monsters to become extinct naturally."

"The only difficulty is how to effectively control the temporarily unstable blood skeletons - and Huadu's solution is to use cheap drugs."

"Damn, the logic is closed!"

Shen Yue let out a long sigh, then said:
"This matter is really not that simple. After we take Anqing, we need to collect as much research data as possible from them."

"Perhaps, their information will really inspire us."

"As much as possible."

Chen Jian pondered for a moment and said:
"8 to 4000, the advantage is obviously not in our hands."

"The strike must be fast, efficient, one-time, and highly lethal."

“Even if we can’t eliminate all the Terror Demons, we must accurately eliminate most of the leaders and the Flower City personnel among them.”

"We need to deploy a thorough and detailed battle plan."

"It's going to be a... big battle."

At the same time, Huayang Town.

As soon as Wang Lizi arrived here, he received news from the Yuanhuan Chamber of Commerce.

The Huaxia Army team had left Huayang several hours ago and headed for the Anqing ruins 50 kilometers away.

They destroyed two scattered terror settlements along the way, demonstrating their ultimate strength and super high killing efficiency.

Wang Lizi was very satisfied with the news, but even so, he still did not have much confidence in the upcoming battle.

Qin Yuan, who was standing beside him, silently looked at the river flowing eastward. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Sir, do you really think they can solve Anqing's problem?"

"There are thousands of terrifying demons there, and there are also a lot of forces from the Flower City mixed in with them."

"This mission is a bit too difficult. Perhaps we should tell them the details honestly from the beginning."

"At least they still have time to prepare"

"That's not right."

Wang Lizi shook his head and said:

“You must first understand what you are trading with before you can develop a trading strategy.”

"If the mission details were disclosed to them at the outset, it would have been a simple transaction."

"But what they are doing now has gone beyond the transaction itself."

"I bet that even if we don't raise the stakes any more, they will find a way to destroy the Blood Skulls at the Anqing Ruins."

“Because that’s who they are.”

"We are halfway to achieving our goal. Now it's time to provide them with more assistance."

"Open the second-level controlled materials to them."

"They need more weapons for this battle!"
