Civilization Paradise

Chapter 30 Military Base
Long Ming slammed on the brakes, veered to a stop, and turned to look back. He saw that the Blue-Eating Insect was stuck in the cave entrance.

Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up his M24 sniper rifle, locked onto the Blue-Eating Worm's head, and pulled the trigger!

Bang, bang, bang~
Long Ming fired three shots, hitting the Green-Eating Insect squarely in the head, splattering viscous liquid and biological tissue all over the ground.

hey~
After letting out a mournful cry, the blue-toothed insect collapsed to the ground, utterly losing its life.

After venting his anger, Long Ming raised his bracelet and glanced at it.

The bracelet interface did not provide any notification.

Long Ming was speechless; killing monsters in this game really didn't yield any rewards.

As for the corpse of this blue-eating insect, it was obviously poisonous, and Long Ming was not a professional and had no idea how to collect materials.

"Ah~"

Long Ming sighed helplessly, put away his M24 sniper rifle, turned his motorcycle around, and drove away.

Not long after, on the desolate mountain road, Long Ming rode his motorcycle forward.

He didn't know where to go, and he didn't have a map.

However, Long Ming was very clear about one thing: try not to park.

Although he had fled the city, the wilderness was not necessarily safe either, and insect eggs could be seen from time to time.

Long Ming even began to doubt whether he could safely evacuate from this world.

At that moment, a sign in the distance caught Long Ming's attention.

"Antiy is 215 kilometers away."

After seeing the sign, Long Ming glanced at the fuel gauge and figured he should be able to get there soon.

He then proceeded according to the signs.

More than an hour later, as the fuel ran out, the motorcycle's speed gradually decreased.

Long Ming reluctantly got out of the car, but fortunately, they were not far from Antioch, only about 20 or 30 kilometers away.

He continued walking along the road.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Long Ming stopped, panting, and plopped down on the edge of the road. He then took out compressed biscuits and bottled water from his backpack.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

He munched on compressed biscuits, gazing at the desolate landscape before him, feeling a mix of emotions.

Although he was being chased and leaped around by those insects, he was generally alright. Without having to worry about another unstable factor, he could explore on his own at his own pace; after all, sometimes players are more troublesome than monsters.

Suddenly, a loud insect chirping sound came from the sky.

Long Ming was startled and turned to look at the distant sky.

A flying insect, over twenty meters long, with six pairs of wings and black patterns all over its body, flew away at an extremely fast speed.

Long Ming swallowed hard, decisively giving up on continuing forward and deciding to make do here for the night until dawn.

So he got up and looked around for a safe place to rest.

Long Ming quickly found a giant rock, took a break behind it, and then raised his bracelet to check the map.

The map showed many extraction points, but the distance between each extraction point was quite far.

That's normal, though, since this world is quite civilized and has many modes of transportation.

Then the night fell completely dark, and countless stars appeared in the sky.

Long Ming slowly lay down on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the chirping of insects.

Gradually, Long Ming's eyelids became heavy.

However, he dared not sleep deeply at all, knowing that there were all kinds of mutated insects everywhere here.

And so, Long Ming spent the night in a daze.

When the morning sunlight shone on Long Ming, he woke up and got up from the ground.

"Whoo~"

Long Ming sighed deeply; this game was truly an ordeal.

However, he didn't complain too much, but silently walked forward.

At noon.

Long Ming stood outside the fence of the mountain road, gazing into the distance.

In the distance, on the plains, stood a huge city.

The city was filled with skyscrapers and was significantly larger than the city from which Long Ming had escaped.

Long Ming's lips twitched slightly. If this were another world, he would definitely be eager to explore such a large city, but now he was feeling quite apprehensive.

However, at that moment, Long Ming suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a military base located on the right side of Antioch. He immediately raised his M24 sniper rifle and used the scope to take a look.

The entire military base is surrounded by high walls with barbed wire and electric fences, and has only one large entrance and exit.

Long Ming began to analyze the situation rationally.

It was obvious that this military base was not safe, but Long Ming was still more willing to explore it than the city.

After all, cities are large, with many monsters and insects, making searches difficult and yielding low short-term returns.

In contrast, military bases have fewer insectoid creatures but more weapons, resulting in explosive short-term profits.

Long Ming quickly made a decision and headed towards the military base.

More than three hours later.

Long Ming arrived at the entrance, where there lay skeletons that had been gnawed beyond recognition. From the remaining combat uniforms, it was clear that these were fallen soldiers.

At this moment, Long Ming saw a semi-automatic rifle lying next to the remains of a soldier.

Long Ming's eyelids twitched, and he immediately went over and picked up the semi-automatic rifle.

The bracelet immediately displayed a notification.

Baka rifle (semi-automatic)

Durability 62/100
Magazine: 12/30 (5.56mm)

Long Ming glanced at the prompt and then stuffed the Baka rifle into his backpack.

The reason he didn't switch to the Baka rifle was because it didn't have a silencer, and firing it would definitely make a lot of noise.

That will attract all the nearby insect monsters.

Based on past experience, as long as he doesn't make too much noise, the swarming insects won't all target him.

Therefore, Long Ming would not use the Baka rifle unless absolutely necessary.

Long Ming then looked at the remains of the other soldiers. They were all equipped with Baka rifles, but unfortunately their weapons had been destroyed by insects.

He then walked into the military base.

He quickly entered the interior, and his view suddenly opened up; the entire military base was very large.

At a glance, one can see the wreckage of several crashed attack helicopters, as well as armored vehicles and tanks covered in dust.

At the center of the military base stands a giant circular base constructed of steel, with several smaller buildings scattered around it.

Long Ming carefully walked towards the nearest watchtower, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. Although the visibility here was excellent and it was unlikely that insects would suddenly appear, he couldn't rule out the possibility.

As for the armored vehicles and tanks, Long Ming didn't dare to get close, as these things were most likely to harbor insects.

Soon Long Ming arrived at the foot of the watchtower and climbed up the ladder to the top.

The top of the watchtower is a hexagonal, openwork ring structure, with searchlights installed inside.

Long Ming carefully pushed open the door, observed the area, and only went inside after confirming there was no danger.

Dust immediately rushed towards me.

cough~
Long Ming couldn't help but cough lightly.

Inside the watchtower, there was a table with a wireless communication device, a water cup, and other items on it.

Two soldiers' bodies lay on the ground, one of whom, judging from the style of his uniform, appeared to be a non-commissioned officer.

Apart from that, no insects were seen.

Long Ming first walked up to the two corpses and carefully searched them.

Both men carried a Baka rifle and each had a magazine on their person.

Long Ming scanned the two Baka rifles with his bracelet; their durability was 75 and 81 respectively.

He picked up the two guns and magazines, stuffed them into his backpack, and immediately felt the weight increase significantly.

Long Ming then carefully searched the officer's body and found an iron medal on his shirt.

The bracelet immediately displayed a notification.

Iron medal.

Grade: Blue

Note: A symbol of honor.

Seeing that it wasn't very big or heavy, Long Ming casually stuffed it into his backpack.

His gaze then fell on the sergeant's fallen helmet.

Long Ming picked up the helmet, blew off the dust, and put it on his head.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he made do with what he had.
