Chapter 1186

However, a week had passed.

The Dragon Nation had invested countless manpower and resources and tried every possible method.

In the end, they still had nothing to show for it...

The soldiers sent out, without exception, completely disappeared into the mist of the Free Nation, and not a single one was able to return...

"Understood!"

The special forces members heard the captain's orders and responded loudly one after another.

In the middle of the group, a young man in his early twenties with dark skin was opening his eyes wide, looking around in terror...

The youth was named Liu Zi, the youngest member of the Dragon Nation's Huilong Special Operations Force, Seventh Team.

Therefore, he was protected in the very center by the soldiers.

Liu Zi looked at the pink sky and listened to the magical heartbeat sound faintly coming to his ears.

His heart was beating rapidly.

On the battlefield, he had witnessed with his own eyes the mutations that occurred to the Free Nation soldiers, and Liu Zi also understood in his heart that an unimaginable mutation must have occurred within the Free Nation...

It was said that the nation had previously sent several special forces teams into the Free Nation to collect data.

But in the end, these ace troops all vanished without a trace within the Free Nation...

Liu Zi understood that the danger level of this mission perhaps far exceeded his imagination.

Yet for the sake of the nation, although young, Liu Zi still did not choose to retreat.

Instead, he resolutely joined the combat team!

As a soldier, executing missions should be his sacred duty; even if there were a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead, as long as there was an order from above.

A soldier must grit his teeth and push forward!

This is the awareness of being a soldier, of being a Dragon Nation soldier!

A moment later.

Everyone in the team took a deep breath, braced themselves, and continued forward.

Liu Zi's nerves were also tightened to the extreme.

With the huge and rapid heartbeat sound coming to his ears, Liu Zi himself could not tell whether this heartbeat was his own or coming from the sky.

Throughout the entire Free Nation, the land was scorched for ten thousand miles.

The air was filled with the smell of rotting vegetation and a faint scent of blood.

Combined, Liu Zi only felt nauseous and sick to his stomach.

The surroundings were bare, with not a single bit of vegetation to be seen; every few steps, Liu Zi could feel a crunching sound coming from under his feet.

This was the sound of shoes stepping on shattered bones.

The owners of these bones might have been living people or some kind of animal not long ago.

But now, even the bones were almost completely weathered.

A single step would crush them into dust.

In the surrounding environment, except for that eerie heartbeat, the whole world seemed as if someone had pressed the mute button.

The entire world seemed to have lost even the insects and rodents.

Not to mention any other sounds...

The quieter it was, the more uneasy the soldiers felt.

The soldiers looked around vigilantly, guarding against attacks that could come from any direction at any time.

After all, so many special operations teams had mysteriously disappeared before.

To say there was nothing strange about this place, probably no one would believe it.

Who knows how much time had passed.

The blood-colored mist around them seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

Finally, the team's deputy captain spoke up.

"Captain Li!"

"How about we just collect the air and soil here!"

"I always have a feeling of unease in my heart..."

"No!"

The middle-aged man called Captain Li glanced at the pink mist around them and shook his head with absolute certainty.

"In this hellish place, none of us feel comfortable, and I can understand wanting to leave as soon as possible..."

"But a mission is a mission! The mission the nation has entrusted to us, as soldiers, we must complete it with quality and quantity!"

"The concentration of the mist here is clearly not up to standard yet!"

"What they want from above is the pure red mist!"

Captain Li's majestic voice rang out, and the deputy captain who had just spoken scratched his head in embarrassment.

His face was filled with shame...

"Don't delay!"

"Let's walk a bit further! It would be best if we could find a place where humans gathered..."

Ignoring the deputy captain's embarrassment, the man called Captain Li immediately took the lead and walked at the very front of the team.

Liu Zi and the others did not stop and hurried to follow.

Time passed second by second.

As they got closer to the interior of the Free Nation, the soldiers' moods became increasingly tense.

However, the eerie attack they had imagined did not occur.

The team members only felt that the heartbeat sound in their ears seemed a bit louder than before, and no other anomalies occurred.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the front of the team.

"Look!"

"There is a small town over there!"

"And the blood mist concentration is extremely high, perfectly meeting the mission requirements! Our mission is about to be completed!"

Hearing this voice, Liu Zi also instantly braced himself and hurried to look in the direction the person was pointing.

Sure enough, a small town of modest size appeared before Liu Zi's eyes.

The blood-colored mist permeating the town was simply at the opposite extreme from the outside.

Outside, it was just a thin layer of pink mist.

But inside the town, the color of the air had already turned bright red.

Seeing the scene before him.

A question could not help but arise in Liu Zi's mind.

Why was the blood mist concentration in the town far higher than outside?

Could it be that this blood mist concentration is related to the number of deaths in a place?

Just as Liu Zi was deep in thought.

The rest of the team's footsteps became much lighter.

The dawn of victory was right before their eyes.

Soon they would be able to leave this oppressive hellhole, and a rare, hearty smile appeared on the corners of the soldiers' mouths.

Then they quickly rushed toward the town... ===== CHAPTER 1188 =====
