Chapter 179 Remains of Soldiers from World War II
There are a total of 7 target locations for collecting mutant plants in Mengzhou.

The searching, gathering and hunting mission in Mengzhou lasted for almost a day and a night.

In areas with vast land and sparse population, mutant plants and mutant organisms are obviously more concentrated.

This time, 5 target locations were successfully collected, and a total of 8 beast general-level monsters were hunted.

Unfortunately, at a suspected "ancient civilization ruins" site in Mengzhou, only a small amount of cosmic civilization material debris was found.

On the third night after the operation began, Meng Xingchen asked Sokolov to take three helicopters, as well as one of the helicopters that had been repaired and overhauled in Qinzhou and rushed to the rendezvous, to transport some materials from the corpses of the eight-headed beast general-level monsters and all the debris of the cosmic civilization, and rush back to the headquarters of the first branch of Xingchen Security.

He himself took another helicopter that had completed maintenance and arrived to meet up with the other one, and entered the territory of Anxi Prefecture.

After exploring two locations alone, collecting some mutant plants, and killing two beast general-level mutant creatures, Meng Xingchen received a call from Cattelan.

Cattelan has arrived at the rendezvous point in Anxi Province, but a suspected ancient civilization relic there has been explored by the local military.

Meng Xingchen did not delay and asked Cattelan to explore several other nearby locations. He also continued to explore forward, and finally the two met in the Fanzhou area.

It is very inconvenient to explore long distances by helicopter. Even if there is the most reasonable supply route planned by No. 93, a large amount of spare fuel needs to be carried.

As the distance from the first branch headquarters increases, efficiency decreases significantly.

So in the early morning of the fifth day, after Meng Xingchen and Cattelan reunited, they decided to give up monster hunting and exploring the remaining mutant plant sites, and head directly to the Kunlun Mountain area to reunite with Sokolov to conduct the last exploration of the suspected remains of a cosmic civilization.

……

On the afternoon of the fifth day after the operation began, Meng Xingchen, Cattelan and Sokolov met near a snow-capped peak in the Kunlun Mountains.

The Kunlun Snow Mountain is seldom visited by people, and the relevant information previously collected by Starlight Mall were all relatively early videos and pictures.

Including the snow peak monsters and the mutant vine that were photographed by someone on a small plane before, they were all near this snow peak.

However, someone recently posted a photo of the aurora flashing several times and a loud noise coming out at night.

After combining several messages, this place has also been listed as a key exploration area.

The situation described by the poster occurred 12 days ago.

Meng Xingchen and his two companions boarded three helicopters and first searched at low altitude near the snow peak.

Soon, several people discovered various abnormal situations.

For example, there were traces of a recent avalanche, traces of a battlefield where beasts had clearly fought each other, and the scattered bones of various monsters.

The three of them were searching while informing each other of the nearby situation.

There were so many traces that it was difficult to determine where to start. After searching for more than an hour, Meng Xingchen contacted Sokolov, and the two rushed to Cattelan's location to meet up.

Cattelan is currently located in a ridge area between two snow-capped peaks.

When they arrived, the scene before them surprised them both.

Monster remains, blood, and bones were everywhere. Some were buried in the snow, while others were scattered all over the snow.

"Uncle Meng, these bodies have been dead for no more than a week!"

As soon as Meng Xingchen jumped off the helicopter, Cattelan immediately came over and whispered.

"Ah."

Meng Xingchen nodded and patted Xiaoqing on his shoulder.

By the time they got here, Xiaoqing had already reacted. She raised her upper body, her tongue flickering, and her eyes staring in a direction ahead.

If we were to say who benefited the most from these days of exploration and collection, it would definitely be this little snake.

In less than five days, Meng Xingchen and the other two collected a large number of mutated plants and fed Xiaoqing anything she wanted to eat.

Currently, the fastest ways for mutant creatures to grow are, first, to devour mutant plants, and second, to devour the corpses of other mutant monsters.

So in just a few days, Xiaoqing has grown from a mid-level beast soldier to a high-level beast soldier, and is close to breaking through to the level of beast general.

When Meng Xingchen first tamed it, it was just a primary beast soldier.

After swallowing a purple crystal moss, Xiaoqing directly reached the level of a medium-level beast soldier. In just a few days, he is now close to the level of a beast general.

It seems that after RR, the adaptability of these monsters and beasts is much stronger than that of humans.

Let the three helicopters leave first and find a safe place to stay and wait.

After the three helicopters flew away, Meng Xingchen took Xiaoqing off his shoulder, held her in his hand, and walked forward.

After taking only a few steps, the scenery before his eyes began to change slightly.

The surrounding scenery began to become a little hazy. But at the same time, his sense of smell became extremely sensitive.

"Psychic affinity - synchronization of the five senses."

After his high-level animal taming technique broke through to the level of mind affinity, his use of mental power reached another level.

Through mental affinity, he can attach his consciousness to the pet for a short period of time and sense some of its sensations.

The super strong "sense of smell" he now has is not his sense of smell, but Xiaoqing's.

The mental power was running, isolating all other unnecessary mental affinity, vision, touch, etc., leaving only the "smell synchronization" with Xiaoqing.

The three of them moved very quickly, with Meng Xingchen searching in front, and Cattelan and Sokolov following on both sides.

Over the past few days, they have both witnessed Meng Xingchen's amazing search ability.

After searching along the ridge of the snow-capped mountain, Meng Xingchen came to a collapsed snow cave after a while.

"Everyone, be careful. We may encounter powerful mutant creatures at any time!"

Arriving here, Meng Xingchen whispered instructions to Cattelan and Sokalov.

Cattelan and Sokolov both nodded slightly, and each of them was in high spirits.

Meng Xingchen took Xiaoqing into his arms, and then took off the hissing gun from behind him.

The entrance to the snow cave is very large, with dried blood and scattered monster remains everywhere.

Mutated creatures would not gather here and fight casually. Since this situation has occurred, it means that there is something in this snow cave that they all want to fight for.

Searching along the way, the three of them soon went about two thousand meters underground.

When we got here, the surroundings had already turned into solid mountain walls, and there were many forked roads that led to unknown places. The monster corpses and bloodstains gradually decreased until they disappeared completely.

However, Meng Xingchen relied on the synchronized sense of smell with Xiaoqing and always followed the scent of several strongest mutant creatures floating in the cave, searching downwards.

The cave passage was pitch black, but Meng Xingchen and Cattelan both had telepathic abilities, so in order to avoid alerting potential mutant creatures, none of the three used headlamps.

Sokolov had no sensing ability, so he followed Meng Xingchen for a few meters.

After searching several hundred meters further down, Meng Xingchen stopped and turned to a fork in the road.

"Uncle Meng, a steel helmet!"

Soon, Cattelan also discovered something unusual.

Just as he was sensing with his telepathy, a rusty oval steel helmet appeared under a pile of rubble dozens of meters in front of Meng Xingchen.

"Yeah." Meng Xingchen nodded, took two leaps, and picked up the helmet under the stone.

"World War II, from the German soldiers!"

There was surprise in Cattelan's voice.

In his country, the emphasis on studying the history of World War II is different.

Cattelan is very familiar with this type of helmet used by German soldiers in World War II.

On the top of this oval helmet, you can vaguely see the special German soldier emblem from decades ago.

Cattelan had never imagined that deep underground he would find the steel helmets of German soldiers from World War II.

Sokalov, who was standing by, also muttered something in a low voice, with a look of extreme surprise in his eyes.

"Wow..."

On the other side, after Meng Xingchen took out the helmet, he swept the rubble with his hissing gun casually, revealing some fragmented human bones.

"Uncle Meng, which side should we explore first?"

After a moment of silence, Cattelan asked Meng Xingchen in a low voice.

"Let's explore this side first."

Meng Xingchen put down the helmet and continued to search deeper into the fork in the road.

The mental perception he cultivated was even clearer than Cattelan's current telepathy.

He had already sensed some traces of artificial excavation on the walls of this fork in the road.
