Before dark, Meng Huo and Su Tang arrived at the station of the Central Army led by Wang Qi. A long line of defense was set up in the field dozens of kilometers away from the northern city, which was jointly arranged by earth-type and wood-type superpowers. In addition to the defense wall and mutant plants, there were also garrisons patrolling day and night. The rear camp was also on high alert, taking turns to go out, fully prepared for battle.

Seeing this situation, the two of them couldn't help but look serious.

However, Meng Huo's identity was still very useful. After reporting it, someone came to greet them soon.

The man who came was a middle-aged man with a very friendly attitude. He first told someone to take care of Xiaoguai outside, and then led them into the tent, saying, "Please come in, I'm the adjutant Qin Yuechi. The commander is still in a meeting and will come in fifteen minutes. You can take a seat first."

Su Tang smiled and looked into the distance before going in.

Unfortunately, although she had good eyesight, she could only see the central army's defense wall from here, and it was impossible for her to see the wall of the northern city.

Since Wang Qi would not arrive until later, Qin Yuechi would be responsible for entertaining them.

Of course, the first thing he wanted to know was the purpose of these two people's visit.

Meng Huo said directly, "We heard that the zombies in the northern city mutated and became very powerful. We found it very strange. The last time we came here, we didn't find any zombies at all, so we came to see what was going on."

Qin Yuechi naturally knew about Yuan Shengtao and the mercenaries coming here before, so he was not surprised to hear Meng Huo say this.

"Yes, we were caught off guard this time." Qin Yuechi paused and changed his tone to a firm one, "But don't worry, this is just a temporary setback. With the commander leading us, we will definitely be able to take down the northern city!"

"Of course." Meng Huo agreed.

However, Su Tang could tell that there was no sincerity in these words.

In fact, this is really hard to believe.

The Central Army had not been able to take the Northern City before. Even if it was because they were unprepared, as Qin Yuechi said, it was clear from this that their ability to respond was really poor. Now that they had suffered such a huge loss, I was not sure if I was lying to them or to myself.

But the other party seemed to believe it.

Su Tang only had one feeling.

Perhaps, the personal charm of Commander Wang is still very great...

After chatting with the other party for a while, the real person finally came.

"Commander!"

When Wang Qi came in, Qin Yuechi immediately stood up and saluted.

Meng Huo and Su Tang also stood up.

Wang Qi nodded to them, "No need to be polite, take a seat."

He was dressed in military uniform, had a handsome appearance and looked quite energetic. If it weren't for the deep fatigue in his eyes, Su Tang might have thought that he really didn't find the Northern City difficult to deal with. But obviously, the opposite was true.

Wang Qi quickly dismissed Qin Yuechi and faced them alone.

"Have you all heard about it?"

Meng Huo nodded and said, "We encountered Commander Kang's troops on the way here."

Wang Qi was a little surprised, "So you didn't go back to Central City?" Seeing Meng Huo's questioning expression, he quickly explained, "I communicated with Hei S and planned to borrow a few people from Baile City. I thought you had agreed, but I didn't expect you to come directly." Then he was relieved, "But this is better, otherwise we will have to wait a little longer."

"I wonder who you are borrowing from..."

Wang Qi on the other side was silent for a moment before he said in a hoarse voice, "Save my adjutant Huang Xiao."

At that moment, Su Tang could see the man's old age from his drooping brows.

It seems that he did not know Meng Xiang's true identity and thought he was his son, so he was worried that he would have to seek external help when the army was unable to help.

It's not that they are not pitiful. However, there is an old saying that is very true: there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

His dead son hated him to death, and even though he knew his identity, he never thought of asking him for help. It can be seen that as a father, he was actually a failure. And as a soldier... Although he seized the position of army commander from Yuan Shengtao, in terms of command, it can be seen from the battle of Northern City that he is definitely not successful or capable.

Su Tang was thinking rather boredly. At this time, Wang Qi had already confessed Meng Xiang's situation. Just as Kang Xiongfei said, he was hung on the wall every day, but he was not killed. He was just covered with wounds, which was really horrible.

This is not only a torture for Meng Xiang himself.

Initially, the brutal act might have angered the soldiers of the Central Army or made them feel a common enemy, but as time went on, they were unable to rescue anyone and were at a loss as to what to do with the Northern City. All they could do was prevent them from heading towards the Central City...

That's not good.

When the soldiers see Meng Xiang’s miserable situation, they will feel scared, afraid that one day they will become the next one.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

But it is still possible to shake the morale of some troops.

I think this might be the other party's intention.

Although Wang Qi didn't say it explicitly, this is the implied meaning.

However, Su Tang felt that Lu Nuan must have known Meng Xiang’s true identity, otherwise there would be no reason for her to single him out.

Things between the two of them have gotten to such a tragic point today, which shows that even though Lu Nuan has become a zombie, he still hates him to the core. Saving him is not an easy task.

"...Okay, the two of us are enough."

She had just come to her senses when she heard Meng Huo's "big words".

Hey, hey! What did I miss?! She tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help but shout in her heart.

She never expected that Meng Huo would agree so readily. Their relationship was obviously not much better than that with Lu Nuan!

When Wang Qi heard the answer he wanted, he didn't seem very happy, he just nodded slightly.

"You have come a long way, so you must be tired. I will ask Xiao Qin to arrange a place for you to have a good rest. This matter is not urgent."

Just like that, with strong doubts, Su Tang followed Meng Huo and entered the tent arranged by Adjutant Qin.

"Is it so strange that I saved Meng Xiang?" Meng Huo had obviously sensed her confusion, and asked this as soon as Adjutant Qin went out and the two of them were still standing there one after the other.

Su Tang thought for a moment, tilted his head and looked at his back, "I thought you would prefer him to die more easily."

Meng Huo laughed quietly, then suddenly turned around and hugged her, rubbing his head against her shoulder, "You really are... so frank that I can't say anything!"

Su Tang rolled his eyes and pushed him away.

"Don't come so close for no reason!"

Meng Huo shrugged, stopped bothering her, and sat down on the mat.

In fact, he is not that kind.

Taking risks just to save Meng Xiang?

joke……

It just happened to be a reason to go to the northern city to explore. Frankly speaking, what he said about being strange was not false. Lu Nuan's mutation was unprecedented, and the direction of the mutation was quite bad for humans.

Compared to Meng Xiang, he is more interested in the current Lu Nuan.

As for saving people, it is not impossible if it is convenient and easy.

After all, he is related by blood, so it is natural for him to kill him. But what kind of person is Lu Nuan? A woman who relies on her looks to get ahead, a traitor... Oh, yes, now she is just a weird zombie. In short, let her kill Meng Xiang as she wishes. Meng Huo really feels a little uncomfortable! Even if Wang Qi didn't mention this, he would still go. Now he has a clear way.

But Su Tang doesn't need to know these.

This woman is too serious. She takes everything she does too seriously. He doesn't want her to take saving Meng Xiang as a serious matter.

He should accept the job, but as Wang Qi said, there is no rush.

Meng Huo and Su Tang had just arrived, and the first thing they had to do was to familiarize themselves with the surrounding situation.

Regarding this matter, Adjutant Qin became a capable assistant.

Not only did he take out the original map of the northern city, but also the recently revised map, he even sent over scouts who had explored the terrain for them to inquire about.

After writing these down first, the two of them went there in person again.

I didn’t bring Xiaoguai with me this time.

It's too big, too iconic.

He also did not bring the scout who strongly recommended himself. Meng Huo disliked that he was too slow and did not care at all that the other party was an earth-type mutant.

Su Tang was speechless.

But for her, it is of course better to be without any burden.

Although the northern city is smaller than the central city, it still took three days to understand the surroundings.

At this time, Adjutant Qin was sent by Wang Qi to deliver the internal map of the northern city.

This really surprised the two of them.

Adjutant Qin said sadly, "This was left by Adjutant Huang. When we entered the city, I thought it would be useless. I didn't expect..."

Meng Huo waited for him to finish speaking, then immediately took the map and let him go. He was really impatient to see his dejected face.

For them, the internal map of the northern city is actually far more useful than the external map.

After all, what they want to do is to find out the truth about Lu Nuan.

After spending another day to thoroughly study the map, on the fifth day at the base, the two finally decided to take action.

Wang Qi was anxious even though he didn't say anything. He nodded as soon as he heard the news. "Adjutant Qin, go and bring them over." He turned to Meng Huo and the others and said, "It's too dangerous for you two to go alone. I picked four people to go with you. Two eighth-level psychics and two seventh-level psychics. They are all pretty strong and should be able to help."

Meng Huo stared at him and rejected him mercilessly, "No need! If they can save people, you don't have to contact Hei S, right?"

Being humiliated like this, Wang Qi's face suddenly turned ugly.

Meng Huo continued as if he hadn't seen it, "The two of us have enough tacit understanding and confidence. For us, one more person means one more danger, so we don't need anyone else."

Wang Qi's expression kept changing. Adjutant Qin was reporting outside, but he didn't let anyone in and just said "wait".

Those outside the tent could only wait.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled, "Okay."

But then, he couldn't help but ask one last time, "Are you sure you can rescue him?"

Meng Huo said seriously, "Of course... not."

When Wang Qi was almost angry and showed an expression of "Are you kidding me?", he said, "I dare say that even if you and Hei S join forces, you can't say the word 'ensure'!"

The disagreement finally ended with Wang Qi's long sigh of compromise.
