$1,835 Leaving Australia

The abandoned city is not a standard geometric shape, but two intersecting circles, one large and one small. The larger main city is close to the coast, and the smaller secondary city extends inland.

When the order was received, Xiao Yuan and his team were located in the southeast of the abandoned city, roughly directly below the small circle, and half of the abandoned city was separated from the sea wolf trapped in the city.

The straight-line distance between the two sides was only seven kilometers. Xiao Yuan wanted to take a shortcut in the city, but the situation in the city was too complicated and he might be blocked by the insect people at any time. He could only lead the team to go around the city, which was about sixteen kilometers in total. It would take an hour or so to get to the place.

More than an hour later, the second and sixth squadrons had completed two-thirds of the entire journey. At this time, the convoy approached the abandoned city from the southeast.

The scheduled meeting point was located on the west bank of the abandoned city. The only way to get there quickly was to pass through the city.

There was more than one route to the west side of the abandoned city, but these routes were inseparable from the abandoned city. Even the safest ring road had a quarter located in the city.

Perhaps because there were a large number of insect people living in the abandoned city, all the routes in the city were unobstructed, which brought a lot of convenience to the convoy's movement.

Just as the Languan flew over Australia, Ye Han instructed the warship to provide cover, and without hesitation ordered the convoy to drive onto the ring road.

On the north side of the ring road was a field full of earth plants and alien plants, with trees as high as 20 or 30 meters everywhere. Many trees were entangled with alien vines as thick as arms, and two different leaves climbed from bottom to top all the way to the top.

Under the tree grew bushes more than one person tall. Ye Han observed carefully and found that the ratio of native plants to alien plants was basically half and half.

Ye Han was a little surprised. Isn't it said that alien plants have stronger vitality and competitiveness than native plants, and have always occupied the living space of native plants? Why is the situation in Australia different from other regions?

Or are the native plants here stimulated by alien plants and evolved to be more competitive?

On the other side of the ring road is the residential area of ​​the abandoned city, where there are two-story villas with independent doors and courtyards everywhere. It is clear that this must have been a high-end residential area before the war.

However, after being vacant for so many years, the villas here are also very dilapidated. Many buildings have collapsed and deformed and can no longer be lived in.

The open space between the buildings is also full of various plants, adding a bit of desolation to the dilapidated residential area.

"Evil capitalism!" Ye Han muttered jealously.

The convoy was not moving fast. The soldiers were divided into two groups, observing the situation in the left and right directions respectively to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.

In addition to direct observation, Ye Han also kept in touch with the satellite in the sky, scanning the nearby situation through the equipment on the satellite, and taking a two-pronged approach to ensure the safety of the convoy.

The situation was much better than Ye Han expected. Until the convoy passed through the secondary city, it did not encounter any enemy obstruction.

The crowd did not relax their vigilance, but tightened their nerves-the main city has more high-rise buildings, which is more suitable for the enemy to hide and attack, and the situation is much more complicated than the secondary city.

Before entering the main city, Ye Han found a broken isolation belt on the outer edge of the main city. There was a bare mechanical tower on the isolation belt, but unfortunately only the tower body was left, and the machine gun on the top of the tower had long disappeared.

The road leading to the main city was smooth, with no roadblocks or guards. The convoy was speeding all the way. Just as it was about to enter the main city, Ye Han felt uneasy for no reason.

"Stop!" Ye Han shouted suddenly on the radio.

The soldiers didn't understand, but all the drivers braked at the first time.

Ye Han looked at the road ahead in silence, and his uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Even if this was a real, deserted abandoned city, there should be abandoned vehicles, burned roadblocks and all kinds of garbage on the road.

But what about this road? Although the road surface is not clean, there are not many debris. Even the weeds on the road are much less than those on the wild roads.

Considering that there are so many insect people living in the abandoned city, Ye Han thinks that this road is likely under the control of the insect people.

If the other party was an alien, Ye Han would definitely not consider so much, but the enemy was a Zerg who could use human weapons, so he had to think carefully.

Paratrooper vehicles are all light vehicles. Although the box panels are bulletproof, they cannot defend against heavy weapons. If the Zerg use landmines to block the road... rushing into the abandoned city rashly will only lead to death!

Ye Han also knew that this might be too much for him, but since it concerns the lives of everyone, he dare not think more comprehensively.

Absolutely cannot risk entering the abandoned city!

Ye Han immediately called up the electronic map and prepared to find a road that does not pass through the abandoned city.

If the road is blocked, take the small road. There is always a way to the sea!

He quickly determined the new route. Going south from here, there is a river leading to the sea four kilometers away. From the map, the river is very wide and the depth is estimated to be not too low. Even if the navy's submarine cannot drive in, the special service team can take a rubber boat down the river. The only trouble is that the submarine must go around the estuary of this river!

It was easier for the submarine to move than for the convoy to pass through the city. Ye Han made up his mind and immediately ordered on the radio: "Turn around and go south!"

The convoy turned a corner on the road and headed in the direction it came from, leaving only smoke and dust.

At the edge of the abandoned city, a bug man emerged from a window without glass, and then the figures of bug men appeared in other windows. They silently watched the convoy go away, and soon disappeared into the buildings, as if they had never appeared.

The convoy heading south had a smooth journey and arrived at the bridge in a short while. Ye Han was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually a small dock under the bridge.

However, the riverside was full of alien plants, and only one-third of the river was left.

Ye Han called the warship: "Languan, I need a rubber boat, and help me clear the way!"

"Understood!"

Languan, located above Australia, immediately airdropped an inflatable rubber boat to the riverside, then adjusted the warship's posture and fired several electromagnetic shells into the river.

Because the warship was above Australia, this time it was much more accurate than shelling the center of the abandoned city. Shells fell into the river one after another. Each shell that entered the water could stir up high water splashes, a lot of silt and countless broken plants.

One of the shells landed on the opposite bank, forming a huge gap that went straight to the center of the river.

After the rubber boat landed, Ye Han immediately commanded the troops to cross the bridge, abandon the vehicles and go into the water from the gap. Everyone went downstream and it took only more than ten minutes to leave the river and enter the sea.

However, the submarine was nearly forty meters high, and the water at the estuary was not deep enough. More importantly, it was too close to the coast and might be covered by the insect people's long-range artillery fire. Therefore, the fleet moved forward for a while until it reached a safe deep water area, and the submarine hidden there surfaced.
