Chapter 17: Opening the Map
Wang Daqiang, one of the three leaders of Gathering Place, died today. The news spread like wildfire, and no one could believe that Wang Daqiang was gone. He was a Second-tier Peak Transcendent, so who could have killed him?
Later, many people found out that a young man with a dog had taken down all of Wang Daqiang's men single-handedly.
"Wow, who is this guy? He killed Wang Daqiang all by himself?"
"You don't know? Have you heard of the most mysterious leader? It seems that the person who killed Wang Daqiang is one of his subordinates."
"Are you kidding me? How is that possible?"
"I'm not kidding. I'm telling you that Gathering Place is no longer the three leaders, but two. I feel like the third leader is not doing well now."
Ma Sanyan, the remaining leader of Gathering Place, felt uneasy. He was afraid of the unknown, and he had very little information about Su Chen, the young man who had killed Wang Daqiang. He only knew that Su Chen had a Second-tier Transcendent and eight First-tier Transcendents under his command, but he didn't know if there were any other forces.
He assumed that Su Er was the only Second-tier Transcendent, but he had no idea what kind of power Su Chen had.
After Su Er took down Wang Daqiang, he went straight to the car that Wang Daqiang had left in the backyard. The car was heavily armed with spikes, a machine gun, and three rocket launchers. It was made of strong bulletproof material that could withstand attacks from Second-tier Mutant Beasts and even resist Third-tier Mutant Beasts for a while.
As Su Er drove away from Gathering Place, Su Chen, who was in the base, detected two blue dots on his radar. They were Su Er and Dahua.
As Su Er drove on, Su Chen's radar showed many places within a mile of Su Er. Suddenly, Su Chen found a yellow dot on the radar, which meant it was either a neutral unit or something valuable.
He ordered Su Er to go and check it out. Su Er arrived at the location of the yellow dot and found a transparent sphere with many light spots colliding and emitting a brilliant light.
Su Chen was surprised to learn that it was the core of the Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV) he needed to build a second base. He couldn't build it without a war factory, but he was happy to have found it.
Su Er continued to explore the area, and Su Chen used the radar to map out the entire area within a radius of 500 kilometers. He marked any yellow dots that Su Er couldn't handle and planned to deal with them later.
After three days, Su Er had lit up the entire area, and Su Chen had a clear view of the map. He saw at least ten Gathering Places and even a base city. He walked around openly and lit up the map. He wondered when he would be able to build a spy satellite to see everything on Earth.
Apart from the places where humans live, most of the remaining areas are dominated by Mutant Beasts, and the areas where humans live are very small.
"Let's clear out the Mutant Beasts in this area first, and we can get some energy and minerals."
Su Chen pondered for a moment. The current situation was not suitable for establishing a second base. He didn't have enough energy to create a force that could protect the secondary base.
Su Er returned to the base and reported to Su Chen. At this time, he had become a fourth-level initial Soldier, which was his own strength. Su Chen did not use energy to enhance his strength.
Red Alert Soldiers can also gain energy by killing other units, thereby enhancing their own strength.
After three days of development, the number of people in the base increased again, and even the number of Hounds reached 50!
It can be said that the strength of the base now completely crushes a Gathering Place.
"Alert, there are invaders, enlarge the image."
The system's voice sounded, and Su Chen saw a large number of Mutant Beasts running towards the direction of the base on the enlarged display.
Su Chen remained calm and asked, "How far away are they from the base?"
"Less than 50 kilometers."
This distance was not far, and these Mutant Beasts would arrive at the base in just a few hours.
Su Chen had to be prepared for these Mutant Beasts and must not let them rush into the base.
However, soon the system's voice appeared again: "After calculation, the target of these Mutant Beasts is not the base, but Number 160 Gathering Place."
