Chapter 223 Foreign Aid
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 erected on the field dozens of kilometers away from the northern city, and was jointly deployed by soil and wood supernatural beings. Apart from the defensive walls and mutated plants, there were also garrisons patrolling day and night.The camp at the rear is also heavily guarded, taking turns to go out, completely ready for battle.

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

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

It was a middle-aged man who came, and his attitude was very kind. First, he told people to take care of the little boys outside, and then took them into the camp. He said, "Please come in, both of you. I am Adjutant Qin Yuechi. The army commander is still in a meeting. Come back in 15 minutes, please sit down first."

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

It's a pity that although she has good eyesight, she can only see the defensive wall of the Central Army from here. It is impossible to see the wall of the northern city.

Because Wang Qi didn't arrive until after the meeting, Qin Yuechi was in charge of entertaining them.

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

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

Qin Yuechi naturally knew about Yuan Shengtao and the mercenaries coming over, and he was not surprised to hear what Meng Huo said.

"Yeah, we were caught off guard this time." Qin Yuechi paused, and then turned into a firm tone, "But you two don't have to worry, this is just a temporary defeat. With the leadership of the army commander, we will definitely win the northern city !"

"Of course." Meng Huo agreed.

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

It's actually too hard to believe.

The Central Army hadn't been able to take the northern city before, even if, as Qin Yuechi said, it was because they were unprepared, but from this alone, it can be seen that their adaptability is really poor enough.Now with such a huge loss, if I say this again... I don't know if I am lying to them or to myself.

But the other party seemed to believe it.

Su Tang has only one feeling.

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

After chatting with the other party for a while, the real master 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, "Don't be too polite, just sit down."

He was dressed in a military uniform, with a good appearance, and he looked quite energetic. If it weren't for the deep fatigue in his eyes, perhaps Su Tang would think that he was really not troubled by the northern city, but obviously, the opposite was true.

Wang Qi quickly swung Qin Yuechi back and faced them alone.

"Have you all heard?"

Meng Huo nodded, "We met Master 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. You guys agreed, but I didn't expect you to come here directly." Then he was relieved, "But it's better this way, otherwise we'll have to wait a little longer."

"I don't know who you borrowed from..."

Wang Qi on the opposite side was silent for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, "Rescue my adjutant Huang Xiao."

At that moment, Su Tang saw the oldness from the man's drooping eyebrows.

It seemed that he didn't know Meng Xiang's real identity, and thought he was his son, so he was worried that he would have to seek foreign aid when the army was helpless.

Not unlucky.

However, there is an old saying that is true, there must be something to hate in a poor man.

His dead son hated him to death. Knowing his identity, he didn't even think about asking him for help. It can be seen that as a father, he was actually a failure.And as a soldier... Although Yuan Shengtao has seized the position of army commander, as far as command is concerned, it can be seen from the battle in the northern city that it is absolutely not successful or capable.

Su Tang thought rather boredly, at this time, Wang Qi had already confessed Meng Xiang's situation.

As Kang Xiongfei said, he was hung on the wall every day, but he was not killed, but was bruised, which was really horrible.

This is not only a kind of torture for Meng Xiang himself.

At first, the brutal actions might make the soldiers of the Central Army resent or ally with the enemy, but after a long time, no one could be rescued, and they were helpless against the northern city. All they could do was to prevent them from heading towards the central city... …

This is not so good.

When the soldiers looked at Meng Xiang's miserable situation, they would feel terrified, fearing that one day they would become the next one.

Of course, not everyone thinks so.

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

Come to think of it, this might also be the intention of the other party.

Although Wang Qi didn't say it explicitly, that was the implicit meaning.

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

The relationship between the two of them has reached such a tragic situation today, it can be seen that even if Lu Nuan became a zombie, he would hate him to the bone, saving him is not so easy.

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

She had just recovered when she heard such "rhetoric words" from Meng Huo.

Hello!What did I miss? !She tried her best to maintain a calm expression on her face, and she couldn't help crying in her heart.

She never thought that Meng Huo would agree so readily. The relationship between the two of them is obviously not much better than that with Lu Nuan!
When Wang Qi heard the answer she wanted, she didn't seem very happy, she just nodded slightly.

"You must be tired after coming from a long distance. I will ask Xiao Qin to arrange a place for you to rest well. This matter is not urgent."

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

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

Su Tang thought for a while, tilted his head and looked at his back, "I thought you wanted him to die more quickly."

Meng Huo muffled his head and laughed in a low voice, then he suddenly turned around and hugged her, rubbing his head on her shoulder, "You are really... so frank that people are speechless!"

Su Tang rolled his eyes and pushed him away forcefully.

"Don't just find a reason to get so close!"

Meng Huo shrugged, didn't bother her anymore, and sat down on the cushion.

In fact, how could he be so kind.

Taking risks just to save Meng Xiang?

joke……

But it just happened to be a reason to go to the northern city. Frankly speaking, he said that the strangeness is not fake. Lu Nuan's mutation is unprecedented, and the direction of the mutation is quite bad for human beings.

Compared with Meng Xiang, he is more interested in Lu Nuan now.

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

After all, it is only natural for him to kill him if he has blood relationship with him.But what is Lu Nuan, a woman who relies on her looks, a betrayer... Oh, yes, now she is a weird zombie. In short, let her kill Meng Xiang as she likes, Meng Huo really has something in his heart uncomfortable!
Even if Wang Qi didn't mention it, he was still going, and now he just passed Minglu.

But Su Tang doesn't need to know these things.

This woman is too serious, she is too serious in everything she does, and he doesn't want her to take saving Meng Xiang as a serious matter.

He should have accepted the job, but as Wang Qi said, don't rush it for a while.

Meng Huo and Su Tang just arrived here, the first thing they need to do is to get familiar with the surrounding situation.

Regarding this matter, Adjutant Qin became a beneficial assistant.

He not only took out the original map of the northern city, but also the recently revised map, and even simply sent the scouts who had explored the terrain for their inquiry.

After writing these down first, the two of them took another trip in person.

This time I didn't bring Xiaoguai.

It's too big, too iconic.

He didn't bring the scout who strongly recommended himself, Meng Huo disliked him for being too slow, and he didn't care that the other party was an earth-type supernatural being.

Su Tang was speechless.

But for her, of course, it is better not to be dragged down.

Although the northern city is smaller than the central city, it took three days to figure out what's around.

At this time, Adjutant Qin was dispatched by Wang Qi to send a map of the interior of the northern city.

This really surprised the two of them.

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

Meng Huo reluctantly waited for him to finish speaking, and immediately took the map and let him go, looking impatiently at 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 what happened to Lu Nuan.

It took another day to thoroughly understand the map, and on the fifth day after arriving at the station, the two finally decided to act.

Wang Qi didn't say anything, but was anxious in her heart, she nodded as soon as she heard the news, "Adjutant Qin, you go and bring them here." Turning her head, she said to Meng Huo and the others, "Only you two are too dangerous, I choose I invited four people to go with you, two people with eighth-level abilities and two people with seventh-level abilities, they are all pretty good, so they should be able to help you."

Meng Huo stared at him, and refused mercilessly, "No need! If you can save someone by relying on them, you don't need to contact the black S, do you?"

After being so humiliated, Wang Qi's complexion suddenly became ugly.

Meng Huo continued as if he didn't see it, "The two of us have enough tacit understanding and enough confidence. For us, one more person is more dangerous, so we don't need other people."

Wang Qi's expression fluctuated. Adjutant Qin reported outside, but he didn't let anyone in, just said "wait".

People outside the tent can only wait.

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

But instead, he couldn't help but finally asked, "Are you sure you can save him?"

Meng Huo said with a serious expression, "Of course...not."

When Wang Qi was almost angry and showed the expression "Are you kidding me?", he said, "I dare say, even if you join forces with Black S, you won't be able to say the word 'sure'! "

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