Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 720 - 409. The most severe challenge since the Age of Calamity_2
That’s why Old Hei said, "I won’t use it."
Very soon.
As the convoy continued forward, Wilson suddenly felt a chill all over.
This chill was very unsettling, as if it touched deep into the bone marrow, then seeped into the soul.
Wilson shivered instinctively and cursed, "Sh*t! What’s going on?"
The old man’s voice echoed again, answering his query, "The company has now entered the frost disaster area. Let me repeat, this place is very eerie. If you can’t handle it, use the Fire Demon Fuel Cell.
"Even if Dick can’t be used temporarily, it’s better than freezing to death. Besides, the side effects will gradually fade. Just think of it as giving Dick a break."
Wilson didn’t speak, he just silently showed a middle finger.
The old man finally got to the point, "The higher-ups dispatched the 156th and 157th divisions to Guangren City with the real purpose of searching for a rare treasure called Frost Ganoderma."
The company commander spent a minute briefly introducing Frost Ganoderma.
At the end, the old man said, "This time the top has offered a reward; anyone who finds a Frost Ganoderma will receive a special reward of 100,000 US Dollars, tax-free."
A soldier named Trenton exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! That’s a huge sum!"
Wilson’s breathing became heavy.
Old Hei exclaimed several times, "Sh*t."
Just finding a Frost Ganoderma would instantly make you a millionaire. Although the Carmenia Dollar has devalued quite a bit, it’s still a huge amount.

A few dozen meters away.
The company commander sat in the passenger seat of a military off-road vehicle, listening to the voice on the communication channel.
It was the voice of the commander, "Hanks, can I trust you?"
They were communicating directly through a private channel.
Hanks immediately responded, "Of course! Sir!"
The commander continued, "In the A244 area ahead, traces of a Great Xia Superpower User have been suspected. They are equipped with the Tianfu Craft No. 3 Exoskeleton, something the Federation wants most.
"So I need a group of very brave soldiers to go and investigate the A244 area, to find these Great Xia Superpower Users."
Hanks didn’t hesitate for a second, "Sir, our company will complete this mission!"
This company commander knew very well that, plainly speaking, it was a suicide mission, as ordinary soldiers facing superpower users only have a dead-end.
The commander was very satisfied, "Good! Your loyalty to the Federation will certainly be rewarded!"
Hanks immediately flashed an "old man-style" smile.
He picked up the tactical terminal, marked the A244 area, and issued the command to his subordinates, "Guys, our search area includes the A244 zone. I hope everyone finds one or several Frost Ganoderma, and takes the green cash prize home."
The channel was immediately filled with excited shouts.
"Frost Ganoderma, here I come!"
"The prize is mine, none of you try to take it from me."
Hanks laughed out loud.
According to the Federation’s military regulations, the commander doesn’t need to go deep into the front line, so he had no intention of entering the A244 area.
The lethal task would be left to the young men below, while he focused on promotions and wealth.
After all, the Federation has enough manpower; nowadays, too many people are out of work. The Federation intends to kick off another round of recruitment, aiming to enlist at least 5 million more.
Hanks looked to his subordinate beside him and instructed, "Drive slowly."
The subordinate immediately eased off the accelerator.
Hanks sat quietly in the chair, watching a string of red taillights move forward, soon disappearing.

Not long after.
The entire infantry company entered the A244 area.
This area had 3 residential communities. The company was divided into 3 platoons, each tasked with one community.
Wilson heard the platoon leader’s order, "Guys, based on the information from above, Frost Ganoderma usually grows in hidden places.
"Our platoon is responsible for Community 2. It’s best you form groups of 3 or 4, and explore each building in this community."
The platoon leader paused and said, "Alright! Now start the treasure hunt! Watch out not to freeze to death."
This mission was characterized as a "treasure hunt," showing just how relaxed the Carmenia soldiers felt. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Wilson reached out and patted Trenton and Old Hei, "How about the three of us team up?"
The two had no objections.
Wilson then suggested, "Guys, everyone else is searching the apartment buildings. The competition will be fierce. How about we try our luck in the underground garage instead?"
Trenton instantly supported, "I think it’s a good idea."
Old Hei was straightforward, "Let’s go then."
The trio pushed open the cargo compartment door, jumped off the vehicle, and followed the high-definition map guide into the underground garage.
Though it was pitch-black underground, with night vision goggles, everything was manageable.
After walking a dozen meters.
Old Hei suddenly said, "I feel a bit creeped out. You don’t think there’s any danger here, do you?"
Wilson shrugged, "If there were really monsters here, with so many vehicles entering the community just now, they should’ve swarmed us. But the fact is nothing appeared, which means there are no monsters here."
Trenton laughed along, "There should only be frozen yellow-skinned monkeys in the community. You wouldn’t be scared of dead people, right?"
Old Hei was a bit annoyed by the remark, "Fxxk U, you’re the one scared of the dead!"
Wilson couldn’t hold back his thoughts of striking it rich, "Let’s search separately."
