 Now Dragon City was in summer, so when the sky began to darken, it was basically time for a break.

 Leading the way, a middle-aged man with a face full of scruff raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and immediately said in a calm voice.

 "Rest in place."

 Hearing the captain's words, the rest of the people all sat down in place, wiped the sweat seeping out of their foreheads, and exhaled a long breath.

 "Really, wearing such a trashy combat suit, not only is it heavy and heavy, the protective effect isn't great,."

 "That's right, it's also not breathable ..."

 This world's single soldier defense equipment is roughly divided into.

 Level 1 Combat Suit: usually made using composite filler material and tough synthetic leather, has a certain bulletproof and prevent tearing effect, the disadvantage is that it is not breathable, and the whole set of combat suit can reach about 15 pounds, different batches, the quality of which corresponds to the floating, belongs to the initial level 1 civilization products.

 1.3 level exoskeleton armor: made of special metal, with excellent anti-strike effect and power increase system, and equipped with infrared scanning and other auxiliary devices, belongs to the higher elite squad can only be equipped with equipment, the price is very high, the number is relatively very scarce, belongs to the 1.3 level of civilization products,

 Level 1.5 Exoskeleton Armor: Made of specially strengthened metal, not only inheriting the advantages of exoskeleton armor, but also externally mounted with different calibers and portable weapons, integrating defense and attack as a whole, the quantity is even more scarce, generally only the senior officers will be equipped, belonging to the products of civilization of level 1.5.

 1.7 level silver armor: made of special synthetic secret silver, the overall has not bad defense, enhanced the carrier's agility and strength, the main point, has a strong resistance to radiation and pollution ability, belongs to the standard custom series equipment, usually difficult to see.

 Level 1.9 Nano Alloy Armor: Made of special nano metal, it has ultra-high strength defense and greatly enhances all aspects of the carrier's attributes, the specific parameters are unknown, it belongs to the products left behind by the civilization fault, the number is extremely rare.

 2.0 level nuclear gold armor: belongs to the peak craftsmanship made before the civilization fault, specific parameters are unknown, textbooks exist in the history of the product.

 "Alright, the combat uniform almost is actually no big deal, the one thing I'm most upset about is our weapons, look at my weapon, MC-01 type assault rifle, an old model, discontinued decades ago, now I still have to put some oil on it every now and then, or else it'll jam!"

 "You're right, I don't even know where they got these old weapons for us to use, and we all have different models, only the one in Captain Li Xin's hand, the M3F1-03 rifle, still looks good, I really envy those task force combat squads, equipped with exoskeleton armor and standardized new weapons... ..."

 "Enough!" Li Xin droned impatiently.

 At once, the following team members all quieted down and did not say a word...

 Li Xin swept his gaze down all the team members and said, "If you have time to complain, why don't you seize the time to rest, don't discuss that nonsense, if the resources above are abundant naturally they won't equip us with these almost obsolete weapons."

 The team members swallowed spit, all lowered their heads to rest, in fact, think carefully about the past few years, it does seem to be more and more recession.

 And just as the group was resting, not far from the corner of the isolation wall, a pair of ghostly green eyes emerged from the shadows.

 Li Xin leaned on top of a piece of rubble, his eyes swept over the towering isolation wall from time to time, years of brutal war let him develop a very good habit, always tense nerves, sometimes take a nap and so back to God when, has moved his head.

 Just as Li Xin's gaze moved towards the shadowy area.

 Rumble~~

 A huge explosion rose from the distant sky!

 It was immediately followed by ear-piercing warning sounds!

 And the portable wireless communication device pinned on Li Xin's collar rang out.

 "Sector F8, Sector F9 isolation wall has been breached, an unknown number of Fae (Note: Species that have mutated due to contamination by high-intensity nuclear radiation.) Breaking in, please reinforce the F8 area immediately with the nearby squads."

 ...

 "Roger." Li Xin replied back dryly.

 Li Xin then turned around and waved his hand, "Everyone follow me!"

 "Yes! Captain!"

 The crowd then got up and sprinted towards the F8 area.

 In the center of D6 area, Su Bai sat at the end of the crowd breathlessly, he really didn't have the strength, correctly speaking it was a bit of despair, no matter how good your brain is, in front of the brutal reality it's all in vain.

 There is no shortcut at all, even if there is, it is not something that his weak body can do.

 So in the end, Su Bai could only give up all his unrealistic fantasies and honestly come over to line up.

 Su Bai was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he pulled out the half piece of synthetic bread given by the old man from within his clothes, nibbled on it for a few mouthfuls and then hid it back like a baby bump, and when he ate it, he almost ate it with his head buried.

 Of course Su Bai wasn't the only one who did this, almost everyone here was like this, afraid that their food would be missed.

 After filling his stomach a little bit, Su Bai was bored and raised his head to look into the distance.

 Strange to say, the distant sky seemed to have been flickering with bright lights, and a strange sound could be faintly heard!

 There also seemed to be quite a few personnel being mobilized, but it was none of his business, Su Bai now expected to have a breath to breathe when it was his turn.

 The next day, inside the tightly closed administrative registration building, uniformed staff members were chatting idly.

 "Have you heard?"

 "Can you not have heard? Didn't sleep a wink last night."

 "The isolation walls of F8 and F9 districts were all torn open with a big hole, I heard that a rank 3 fae broke in, the inner layers of Dragon City sent their elite squads to hunt them down, and the entire D8 and D9 districts were put under martial law last night."

 "Tough enough."

 "Forget it's not a big deal, there are always a few times a year that we get into it, we're used to it."

 "Yeah, it's just a bit nerve-wracking."

 Suddenly a voice interrupted the chit-chat.

 "All cheer up, don't gossip there."

 All the staff present turned around and respectfully replied, "Yes! Lord Zhao Shen."

 A man with a moustache, wearing overalls and a rather fat-looking figure walked over.

 At this moment, Zhao Shen then spoke.

 "All be serious, I'm not joking, I've gotten word that people from above might come down to inspect, don't let them catch you, or none of you will want to live well."

 "Lord Zhao Shen, then what do you mean, we let go of the quota?" An officer hesitantly inquired.

 "Open the quota? Zhou Qi, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Are you kidding me? We can afford to liberalize? Each open quota is one more expense, the resources allocated to us from above are just a little bit, how can we open it up, besides these resources are all from those combatants, who worked hard and fought to the death to retrieve them from within the fallen areas, each one is very valuable, to be able to share a little bit of them to those pigs is already considered to be merciful and righteous." Zhao Shen said with a cold snort.
