I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

The dusty snow flakes are falling bigger and bigger.

Visibility further reduced.

The temperature dropped to below minus 10℃.

In the current weather, most of the ferocious alien species and corpses would hide and hibernate in ruins or pits.

The cold will greatly inhibit their desire to hunt.

Even most predators don't choose to operate during this season.

They usually stock up on supplies in advance like squirrels spending the winter, or they disguise themselves and enter a certain settlement.

Facing the cold winter in the wasteland, even those wanderers who claim to hate civilization have to choose to return to the embrace and warmth of civilization.

The jeeps and scouts responsible for exploring the path opened up a path for Rosen and others to move forward safely.

Beams of laser lights pierce the darkness.

In order to shorten the time on the road, everyone tacitly extended the rest interval.

The rest period has been extended from the original 4 hours to 6 hours.

Shortly after noon, they arrived at a place more than 300 kilometers away from Jiangcheng.

After finding a ruined building that was sheltered from the wind, the convoy stopped and the foldable bunker was unfolded, which could not only withstand gunfire but also block the cold wind.

Dozens of bonfires were quickly lit.

The knights used thermal blankets and tree branches to set up small triangular tents with the motorcycle as a wall.

The drone matrix takes off.

The bosozoku who won the sentry lottery spat and reluctantly climbed up to the commanding heights and began to deploy counter-weapons.

The rotating patrol team will patrol the surrounding 3 kilometers at a rhythm of 45 minutes.

RVs and vans are still protected at the center.

Rosen stopped the motorcycle and was boiling water over a campfire in the temporary camp.

The water was taken from dirty snow. After being purified three times and then directly adding Xiaofuning, it barely met the drinking standards.

Hot water is essential for wasteland walking in winter.

It can quickly restore the body temperature that has gradually become hypothermic due to trekking.

Especially for Rosen's large group of war slaves, hot water has become a life-saving straw.

Due to limited parking spaces, thousands of people either crowded behind trucks with raised roofs or had to squeeze in with the bosozoku knights.

It's not that Rosen doesn't want to buy a few more trucks.

Rather, the more vehicles there are to protect, the bloated the entire fleet will become.

This means more holes in the fleet.

Since there were already warning signs in his mind at that time, he had to carefully consider the issue of returning.

To sum up, the best solution is to force it.

But even with combat uniforms to protect them from the cold, many slaves were still freezing.

Fortunately, attrition has not occurred yet.

After preliminary screening of the slaves produced at the Stellar Auction, the weak and sick "low-quality goods" were eliminated, leaving only slaves with relatively healthy bodies.

Not long after, boiling hot water was distributed.

Later, newly purified snow water and a large amount of nutrient mixture were added to those hanging furnaces.

In addition to hot water, timely intake of energy for the body is also an essential part.

There's nothing better than a generous pot of hot porridge with a nutritional blend.

Rosen, Qi Mu and Yuan Yewen had already entered the comfortable RV.

Such a contrast highlights the superiority of class. It seems unfair, but it is fair.

If the purpose of buying a slave is to let yourself eat and live with the slave, then it is better to become a slave directly and save decades of hard work.

The RV keeps the wind and snow out.

Electric oil heaters are delivering warmth.

Yuan Yewen took off his jacket, revealing the leather vest underneath.

Taking advantage of the situation, he threw the mud-stained moleskin gloves on the table.

Cycling in this weather is not a pretty thing.

Except for Qi Mu, everyone's pants were almost covered with mud dots and ice scum.

Rosen twisted his somewhat stiff limbs and neck.

The discomfort accumulated from long-term riding movements is resolved.

Rosen took off his windproof pants and sat on the sofa of the RV.

At this time, Yuan Yewen had projected a holographic map.

I conveniently marked a spot of light on it.

"The trip went smoothly. We are passing through the south of Luzhou."

Rosen glanced at the map and knew that they had completed two-fifths of the journey.

He asked after taking stock of the rest of the day.

"I probably won't be able to get back to the camp tonight."

This question made Yuan Yewen smile bitterly.

"Unless you plan on trekking through the night, it's almost impossible."

"Our forward efficiency will be greatly reduced after nightfall."

"Darkness is the true face of winter, and temperatures tend to get even lower at night."

"There's a good chance your slaves won't be able to handle it."

"And the men under me will complain a lot, which is not a good sign."

His tone was gentle, but Rosen heard the advice in his words.

Rosen nodded slightly, but did not refute this.

Because he knew very well that Yuan Yewen was right.

After resting for about two hours, the team set off again.

According to the plan, they will stop and rest throughout the night from 19:00 to 20:00.

The bonfires in the temporary camp were put out, and the folding bunkers covered with thin ice were put away again.

The riders removed the thermal blanket covering the locomotive and quickly refilled the fuel tank.

The roar of the engine soon began, and the headlights pierced the darkness.

The mighty convoy moved forward again.

Rosen was driving the Prison Breaker, while Qi Mu's hoverbike was not far in front of him.

The only person walking parallel to him was Yuan Yewen.

The two are also the real core of this team.

As I embarked on my return journey, I still felt a sense of confusion in my heart.

Perhaps it was because Rosen never felt at home in the wasteland.

The camp is like a moored harbor, and he is a drifting cruise ship.

This is not the end, nor is it the established future.

…

It was extremely cold in Jiangcheng in the afternoon.

The waterway of the Yangtze River has become a wind channel that allows the cold wind to drive straight in.

The wind and snow drifting all over the sky greatly increased people's laziness.

Guardsmen stood behind firing positions on wall stacks, next to barrels of burning gasoline.

If you zoom out, you can see orange lights dotting the city.

These are warm firelights.

The Changlong River, which has always been turbulent, seems to have become lazy under the chill of winter.

The water flow on the river became more and more gentle.

The large clusters of ice flowers drifting from upstream also became more dense.

If you look carefully, you will find that it is because the Changlong River is slowly freezing.

Representatives from major settlements in Jiang City and the Twelve Committee members are collecting information for the coordinates of the shelters that have just been assigned to them.

Use this to determine the first strategy target after the beginning of spring.

Originally, today would be no different from those days in the past, even more boring because of the first snowfall.

Until a dark shadow appeared on the river.

The fragile ice shell that had just condensed suddenly shattered, and the cold turbid river water formed a gorgeous water flower.

The saw-shaped head of the Yangtze Demon with sharp teeth breaks through the ice.

The four fins distributed on both sides are as flexible as legs.

After violently hitting the river surface, the body nearly 100 meters suddenly jumped up.

It fell onto the river hundreds of meters away, exploding into a splash comparable to a bomb.

This wasn't the end yet. Dense bubbles appeared under the river on the side near Jiangcheng.

Large black shadows floated from the bottom of the river to the surface.

At the same time, some light green mist appeared in the turbid wind and snow floating on the river.

A shrill, shrill alarm sounded.

The patrol at the South City Gate adjacent to the Yangtze River discovered something was wrong almost as soon as there was any movement on the river.

"Alien resurgence!"

"Unknown pollution has appeared along the river, and the air quality monitoring system shows that pollution concentrations are rising!"

News from the frontier was reported to the rear within two or three minutes.

A large high-speed nitrogen shield wall sprays out in an arc.

Using the city wall as the baseline, a semicircular protective circle was created.

In addition to effectively isolating physical attacks, the gas shield can also prevent the intrusion of pollution.

Being able to stand on the Changlong River against the tide of beasts for nineteen years without falling, Jiangcheng's defense measures in all aspects are very complete.

The garrison here also has rich practical experience.

The annual wave of alien landings is the best time to train troops.

However, this situation was puzzling even to the most senior garrison troops.

In early winter, or in other words, the winter season, there has never been an outbreak of alien species.

For the first time in many years, they were out of regular cycles.

Important areas and buildings in Jiangcheng even have light walls representing the Holy Shield system.

Less than three minutes after the alarm on the city wall was sounded, the first landings began.

The huge Yangtze River Devil jumped onto the shore and made a dent in the frozen land.

Slippery slime splattered everywhere.

That's not all. Thousands of eel and crocodile species followed it ashore.

They range in size from big to small. They are not as big as the Yangtze River Demons, but they still look very scary when clustered along the river.

In addition, at least tens of thousands of amphibian and crustacean species also landed at this moment.

For example, it wields a mud crab that can tear apart a human body. Its green-brown carapace is also covered with water plants.

The smallest mire crab is as big as a foal, and the largest one is as big as an armored vehicle.

These hot-tempered guys are extremely aggressive.

On weekdays, it is a nightmare along both sides of the river, often lurking in the tidal flats on the shore and attacking any species that happen to pass by.

Whether they are humans, other alien species or ghouls, they are all on their diet.

The corrosion monster with sixteen tentacles squirmed ashore like a "furry" black ball.

This is an amphibious creature that is highly adapted to the wasteland environment. It has a huge body, the upper layer of its body is covered with hardened skin, and can travel through sewage and swamp areas.

Its body shape is actually closer to an enlarged version of a salamander, with multiple flexible and tough tentacles on its front body.

These tentacles can secrete powerful acid that quickly corrodes metal and biological tissue. They can crawl on land, leaving behind dark traces of corrosion.

The most diverse species are various mutant toads.

The smallest of them is about the same size as a wolfdog.

Some can spray venom.

Some have more than ten tongues, and each one can shoot hundreds of meters away.

Others are covered in carapace covered with thorns and can make leaping collisions by bouncing.

The most outrageous is a swamp frog.

The mutant frog originated from bioenergy technology developed by an energy company before the war.

At that time, they tried to use frogs as biological carriers to store and convert combustible energy.

Now this marsh frog has become highly adapted to the radiation environment.

Their size is far larger than that of other similar creatures, and their skin is covered with radioactive patterns.

High-temperature steam and high-pressure concentrated flammable gases are also stored in the body.

This combustible gas is mainly methane, supplemented by a small amount of carbon dioxide.

It can eject hot flame balls from its throat based on high-temperature steam and mucus mixed with flammable gas.

All alien species have landed to sweep away the lethargy of winter.

The dark eyes were all covered with a strange red blood.

Behind them, the floating green mist spread quietly.

All the alien species became extremely crazy and scattered as soon as they landed on the shore.

He didn't attack the defense line as brutally as before.

It was like a black tide surrounded Jiangcheng.

The wind direction changed quietly, and the green mist spread towards Jiangcheng, also covering the shore.

In the hazy mist, those amphibious alien species with red eyes were quietly undergoing some kind of change.

This place has a stronger attraction, and alien species along the river are still landing continuously.

Even on the land, alien species and corpses began to wake up from their dormancy and hesitantly came to join the army besieging the city.

It only took seven or eight minutes from the time the alarm was sent to the first shelling.

This time is already very fast for the city defense system.

Those monsters did not attack the city wall immediately. The first to fire were the 73mm rapid-fire cannon and the electromagnetic cannon deployed on the outer towers.

The surging fire exploded along the shore.

The surging shock waves and air waves opened up the green mist.

It was like a curtain was lifted, revealing the monsters that had undergone new mutations in a short period of time.

The huge upright figure is intimidating.

Everyone who sees this scene knows that this is by no means a normal mutation!

…

More than an hour after we got back on the road.

Rosen and his party have already left Jiangcheng for about 400 kilometers.

But at this time, Yuan Yewen suddenly ordered the convoy to stop.

In the wind and snow, the increasingly dim light made this convoy look extremely abrupt.

Rosen did not take off his helmet, but turned to look at him.

Yuan Yewen looked serious. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before announcing through the intercom.

"After receiving an urgent contact from Boss Hong, Jiangcheng is attacked by a wave of alien species, and the scale is far greater than before!"

"Unknown pollution appeared on the river and spread in the form of mist, causing all alien species to mutate twice in a very short period of time!"

"Currently, Jiangcheng is besieged not only by amphibious alien species, but also by hundreds of thousands of corpses and land-based alien species rushing from surrounding cities..."

"The scale of this intensity of alien species has exceeded Jiangcheng's defense threshold."

"Boss Hong asked us to go back immediately to support and build a line to support the other side with artillery fire."

This news caused an uproar.

Jiangcheng actually encountered an extreme alien wave in winter, which was unprecedented.

And even if it is as powerful as Jiangcheng, it can't handle it, which shows that this crisis must be very difficult!

Yuan Yewen was a little embarrassed, but it wasn't that he was not loyal enough to Boss Hong.

But he couldn't let go of Rosen directly.

…
