Hours later, the airship landed on a barren land.
Lia Star is located in a remote location, and even the flight is every three days. It also means that if they want to return to the Imperial Military Academy, they will have to wait at least three days later.
However, although the search for the source spar does not sound dangerous, it is estimated to be time-consuming. Even if they had seventy or eighty people, they wouldn't necessarily be able to find clues within three days.
The students walked out of the air parking lot with the flow of people. Looking at this strange city, they fell into contemplation.
"Lia Star."
The bearded man scratched his hair, "How can I find it in such a big place!"
Because of the cooperation in the primary selection assessment, the other three naturally gathered around Bai Yue.
Cao Xun: "There are possible areas listed in the mission details. But even so, the scope is too large."
Bai Yue looked at the phone, and above it was the map of Lia Star that he had downloaded in advance.
He had also been researching on the airship just now.
Combined with the characteristics of the source spar and the information given by the mission details, several areas can be roughly divided.
And the intersection of all these areas is located in the same city.
k city.
"Let's go to K City first." He said.
After Bai Yue said this, no one else had any objection.
Cao Xun hurriedly said, "I'll check the traffic and leave immediately."
The city where the airship landed belonged to the capital of Leah Star, which was still a long way from K City. Although it has only experienced a long interstellar shuttle, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, no one proposed the idea of taking a break.
The other three went to stop the car.
Bai Yue noticed that Mu Sihan, who was beside him, was also going forward, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Sihan stopped and looked back, no emotion could be seen on his face.
"When you mentioned K city just now, you seemed to have a different look." Bai Yue smiled, "Going here is just a possibility. Do you have any other ideas?"
Mu Sihan: "..."
He turned his head: "It has nothing to do with this."
irrelevant
Although it was a little strange, the other party didn't seem to want to talk in detail, and Bai Yue didn't ask any further.
Half an hour later, they boarded the hover car. From the direction of the capital, go straight to K city.
Since this mission is done as a member of the picket team, cooperation is required. So Bai Yue shared the information he found with the group.
In addition to K City, there is another place that is more suspicious. So the students split in two, heading towards their respective destinations.
A few hours later, the sun sets. The sky was getting darker and darker.
First the airship, then the hover vehicle. After a day of running around, the students finally came to K City.
But as soon as I got out of the car, I was stunned by the desolate and dilapidated scene in front of me.
It's hardly a city, it's a slum.
The buildings have no shape at all, either thick brick walls; or pergolas erected at will.
There were not many people on the street, and everyone wore a headscarf around their heads, wrapping their faces tightly, with only one pair of eyes exposed.
When they saw dozens of students in uniforms approaching, they all flashed to the corner in panic.
Occasionally, there will be a few drunk people scattered on the ground. But pedestrians are used to it and turn a blind eye.
There is no management, no order, it seems that they just picked up a place that can barely keep out the wind and rain, and struggled to survive.
It hardly seems like a scene that should exist in this era. Suddenly, it seems to have returned to the time when the Empire and the Federation were still in chaos hundreds of years ago.
Although the capital of Leah Star is not prosperous, it is within the normal range. But this other city, which is thousands of kilometers away, has a completely different scene.
In this way, the Imperial One Army academy students are particularly eye-catching. As soon as I walked in, it attracted frequent glances from passers-by.
The exact same uniform, and a black unknown object is followed by each person. Plus the large number of people, it is even more conspicuous.
After a little summing up, everyone decided to act according to the previous grouping. If you collect clues, you will be contacted by phone.
After a while, there were only four Bai Yue left.
"Wait, four people?" The bearded man clicked from left to right. Paused, then clicked again. Finally found something wrong.
"Where did Mousse go?"
Cao Xun helped his forehead: "Do you have to count the numbers within 5 so many times?"
Xu Chengdong: "He left alone just now. I called him, but he ignored me."
The bearded man was bulging: "Why is he still so unsocial. It's dangerous for a person to run around in a place he doesn't know."
Bai Yue was the one who communicated the most with Mu Sihan among the people.
But even after sleeping together for more than a month, he still didn't know that person very well. But at least one thing is certain, everything the other party does is to achieve their goals.
However, it seems that city K is not very safe. There is some danger in acting alone.
Bai Yue: "I'll contact him later to talk about the next arrangement."
It was getting late, so to avoid the tragedy of sleeping on the street, we had to find a place to live. Others continued to snoop for news.
For safety and efficiency considerations, two or two actions are sufficient.
The bearded man and Cao Xun are in a group, and Bai Yue and Xu Chengdong are in a group.
Others have no objection, but Cao Xun is a little dissatisfied. He prefers to team up with Bai Yue. But before he raised any objection, he was grabbed by the bearded man's shoulders.
"Then we are a community of destiny! Go and find a hotel!"
Cao Xun's fighting power was really not strong, so he was dragged away just like that.
Four hours later.
The four were reunited at the inn. Tonight's harvest, in addition to finding a place to stay, nothing.
The bearded man hugged his chest: "This hotel is pretty good, cheap and affordable."
They searched for the hotel for more than an hour. Not because of how hard it is to find, but because there are many black-hearted hotels. Seeing that they are foreigners, I want to hit hard.
No matter how good-tempered the bearded man was, when he found the last family, he couldn't bear it any longer.
Cao Xun was speechless, and looked at Bai Yue again: "We have been to the place where people gather, but we can't communicate normally at all. Hiding us is like hiding from the plague."
Xu Chengdong: "We are in the same situation here."
The residents of Leia, especially the people of K City, seem to have serious xenophobic tendencies.
They just wanted to find out if they knew anything about the Originium. But often they say hello at the beginning, and those people just disperse like birds and beasts, not giving them a chance.
Bai Yue looked down at himself: "Is it because of the clothes?"
The cadet's uniform also has military elements. Are those people rejecting the foreign population, or are they simply rejecting the military
If it is the latter, it is quite meaningful.
Xu Chengdong: "Then shall we change our uniforms?"
The bearded man has a strong rejection: "I don't want to change it! I wear it when I sleep!"
Cao Xun spent a night with the bearded man, and he no longer wanted to talk to each other anymore, so he suggested to Bai Yue: "It's also possible that they don't know about it. Their cultural level is very low, and maybe they don't even know what the source spar is. Or, let's still Find it yourself."
"Go find it yourself?" Xu Chengdong questioned, "Do you want us to dig a little bit with a hoe in such a big place?"
Cao Xun was impatient: "Then what should I do? If you don't ask these people, you might as well do it yourself!"
Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, the bearded man was helpless, feeling that this captain was very incompetent.
He looked left and right, and finally turned his attention to Bai Yue.
After Bai Yue noticed it, he tilted his head: "I didn't get the information, maybe the method is wrong."
Hearing this, Xu Chengdong and Cao Xun both looked over.
First of all, the premise is that since the military department has issued this task and divided the general scope for them, at least one point is proved-the military department has sufficient evidence to believe that there is a source spar in the star of Lia, but the specific location is uncertain.
And this evidence should not only be because the Leah star has not been mined. It is more likely that the information about the source spar was leaked here, and it was captured by the military.
Hearing this, Cao Xun was stunned: "What do you mean... Someone privately occupied the source spar and didn't report it to the empire?"
Bai Yue: "It's just a possibility."
Originium is related to military supplies and can make weapons with great lethality.
Therefore, the laws of the Empire strictly prohibit all acts of private possession. Once the rough stone is mined, it must be handed over.
But this is a huge amount of oil and water after all. It is also not ruled out that some people will take risks and buy and sell Originium.
And these K City residents, they may not know what the source spar is, but they definitely know who the rich are.
"Oh!" Although the bearded man didn't understand much, he at least understood one thing, "Then if we continue to investigate tomorrow, just ask who is the richest person in K city?"
Xu Chengdong: "But I think the people here are very poor. Is it really in K city?"
Bai Yue smiled: "Wealth is not exposed."
And the reason why they came to K City was because they suspected that there were Originium spar in the underground nearby. People who make money here don't necessarily have to spend it here. However, for the residents of K City who are used to living a poor life, the difference must be very obvious.
Bai Yue: "Anyway, just in case, let's wear private clothes tomorrow and go to the cliché."
Three people: "Received!"
End of the meeting. After the companions left, Bai Yue stood up.
He picked up the phone, but Mu Sihan still didn't reply.
During the investigation at night, he originally wanted to meet Mu Sihan first. But the other party neither answered the phone nor returned the message.
Although that person is cold, he will not lose contact with him casually.
Somewhat strange.
The last piece of information was that he sent the hotel location.
Bai Yue frowned.
Something must have happened.
Looking at the fallen people in the room, Mu Sihan was expressionless.
The light in the room was very dim, and even his blond hair became dull. Ice blue eyes, reflecting a bright red.
The bright red blood dripped down from the palm of the hand and fell to the ground along the fingers.
Unconsciously, he turned and opened the door.
Looking up, what caught my eye was a silver full moon embedded in the sky. Huge figures filled the narrow alley.
The night was quiet, and only the scout bug could be heard up and down his shoulders.
Mu Sihan turned his head to look at the scout bug.
The scout worm seemed to feel a sense of fear, and couldn't help shaking, thinking that it would be crushed in the next second. But fortunately, the man quickly turned around and continued to walk out.
Mu Sihan took out his phone and wanted to confirm the time. But seeing the incoming letter and missed call, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Because he doesn't want to be disturbed, his cell phone is silent all the year round. And the only person who usually contacts him is Bai Yue.
After reading the text message, he did not reply and put away the phone.
Half an hour later, Mu Sihan stood at the door of the hotel. After a little hesitation, he walked in.
It was very late at this time, except for a beta at the front desk who was half-asleep and empty.
Several people in Bai Yue have helped him open the room in advance. Mu Sihan got the key and walked upstairs to open the door when he heard the door beside him rang.
Turning around, he saw Bai Yue.
The other side had the same smile as usual: "You're back."
Bai Yue woke up in the middle of the night. Hearing noises coming from outside the window, he probed and found that it was Mu Sihan walking in.
There needs to be communication about what happened today and the plans for tomorrow.
In order not to miss it, he put on his clothes and opened the door.
However, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the smile faded: "What's the matter with you?"
Mu Sihan didn't answer, just opened the door and walked into the room. Bai Yue followed.
The light was just too dim. Now, after turning on the light, Bai Yue was even more convinced that he was not mistaken.
Mu Sihan seemed to have just experienced a death fight, covered in blood. Not only the clothes, but also the cheeks and hair were stained with blood.
The other party took off his uniform jacket. The half-coagulated blood tore at the flesh, but even so, he didn't even frown.
Bai Yue thought for a while, then went back to the room and took a tube of wound medicine. Because he trains with frequent injuries, these are the norm. I just don't know if it's going to work.
The gap on the other party's uniform jacket is obviously a knife mark.
Mu Sihan was dealing with bloodstains. Whether I heard footsteps approaching or leaving, I didn't look up. Until a tube of ointment was handed to him.
Bai Yue: "Use this first, and tomorrow I will ask if there is any medicine for stab wounds."
Mu Sihan: "...No, I'm not hurt."
Bai Yue looked at him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his left upper arm.
The wound was caught, and Mu Sihan couldn't help frowning in pain no matter how he could bear it. He didn't expect Bai Yue to do this, and was a little surprised: "What are you doing?"
Bai Yue moved his hand away: "Do you feel ashamed?"
Although most of it is other people's blood. But he wasn't blind and couldn't see the wound.
Mu Sihan frowned: "It has nothing to do with you."
"We are roommates first, teammates second, how could it be irrelevant."
Bai Yue tilted his head, "I've been beaten so badly by you every time I train. You shouldn't need to pretend to be in front of me. Anyway, I'm more humiliated than you."
Mu Sihan: "..."
"Ah," Bai Yue seemed to suddenly think of something, "Don't tell me you lied on purpose because you didn't want me to worry?"
When listening to the first two sentences, Mu Sihan still didn't react. When I heard the last sentence, I turned around and looked over.
Bai Yue saw it in his eyes and smiled: "I thought you couldn't hear me."
He handed the ointment over: "Apply it well, at least it will heal faster."
Mu Sihan hesitated for a while, but raised his hand and took the ointment.
Most of the blood on Mu Sihan's body belonged to others. The only wound was a stab wound to the upper arm.
Although the incision was not deep, the blood flow was exaggerated.
Bai Yue watched him finish the medicine: "So, where have you been tonight?"
From Bai Yue's point of view, Mu Sihan was not a character who would fight for no reason. What's more, I'm currently on a mission, and I'll fight so fiercely, most likely because I've found some clues.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the air.
Mu Sihan put down his hand and stared at Bai Yue with icy blue eyes, as if thinking about something. After pondering for a while, he said, "The Intelligence Room."
Intelligence room
Bai Yue did not expect that such a gray area still exists in K City. But after thinking about it, I found it to be understandable. The law and order here is very poor, and it must be the most rampant site in the gray field.
However, Mu Sihan immediately investigated the existence of the intelligence house, which was different from his usual impression.
Mu Sihan: "No clues were found, but a group of 'mouse' was attracted."
Bai Yue was slightly stunned: "Rats?"
"Rats crossing the street, hooligans. But I do know who these people are helping." Mu Sihan put down his long sleeves.
Bai Yue didn't sound right. Listening to the other party's tone, it seems that you know this place very well.
But soon, he knew the answer.
Mu Sihan's tone was still cold: "I used to live in K city."
The night is getting darker. Occasionally, crows could be heard flying by, making a loud cry.
Even in the middle of the night, the depths of K City are still very lively. But at least on the surface, it was still as calm as water.
On a high-rise building about 100 meters away from the hotel, there was a figure sitting.
He sat on the edge of the roof, his feet hanging in the air at will.
However, with a pure white mask on his face and a hood on his head, he was completely wrapped up and couldn't see his appearance at all.
He put down the telescope in silence.
At this time, there were footsteps behind him.
"Boss, so you are here!"
Wu Zihao climbed and jumped directly to the highest level, "The positions of the others have been determined, and they can act at any time."
Without hearing a response, Wu Zihao crouched beside the boss. Seeing that he was holding a pair of binoculars in his hand, he pulled it out and looked in the same direction.
Then, I secretly exclaimed in my heart.
I fuck! Isn't this the two omegas I met in those two days, and they are also candidates for the selection team? Really unbelievable.
And what's going on, the boss has been watching them.
Could it be…
Wu Zihao's brain was running at a speed of ten million times. Just when he vaguely guessed something, the boss next to him stood up, turned around and walked to the backstairs.
"Huh? Huh? Didn't you see it?"
However, Shang Yufei did not answer his question.
After standing on the edge of the roof, he jumped down.
The next day, Cao Xun and the three came to Bai Yue's room as promised, but they saw Mu Sihan in the room.
Cao Xunlue frowned and was about to speak, but was preempted by the bearded man: "Mousse, when did you come! We have been unable to contact you!"
"Last night."
Knowing that Mu Sihan would not answer, Bai Yue took the initiative to answer.
He said: "The plan has changed, and Mu Sihan found some clues. I will act with him today, and you will follow the plan yesterday."
Xu Chengdong and the bearded man had no objection and nodded.
Cao Xun wanted to ask something, but after glancing at Bai Yue, he still didn't speak.
After the three of them left, Bai Yue and Mu Sihan also walked out of the hotel.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the two changed into private clothes and covered their headscarves like passers-by.
Bai Yue followed Mu Sihan, making seven turns and eight turns all the way. Soon he left the downtown area and came to a long and narrow alley.
If we say that the seemingly desolate city of K is desolate and lifeless. Then there is nothing here.
There are many hawkers on the road, selling some strange things. And the pedestrians are almost all alpha and beta.
Although Bai Yue heard Mu Sihan talk briefly yesterday, he was still a little surprised by what he saw with his own eyes today.
It was the first time he had seen something like this... a place that looked suspicious at first glance.
Mu Sihan said that he once lived in such a place, which is unimaginable in Bai Yue's view.
He had previously guessed that it was a military family, but it was denied. Later, I thought that maybe like him, I came from an ordinary well-off family.
But I never imagined that it would be such a dangerous place.
However, if it is said that Mu Sihan's skills were developed here, it seems that there are traces to follow.
"It's that person."
At this moment, Mu Sihan next to him whispered.
Bai Yue returned to his senses and followed his line of sight. It was found that among the people who came and went, there was a bald head. Although it was cloudy, he still wore a pair of sunglasses. As if afraid that someone would follow him, he looked back every time he took a step.
Bai Yue: "Is this the intelligence room you said?"
It's not the same as what he imagined. He thought that people with this status would look more powerful.
Mu Sihan nodded slightly and stepped forward: "Keep up."
Bai Yue said nothing more.
According to Mu Sihan, after he found the intelligence house yesterday, he originally planned to ask about the source spar. As a result, after hearing this, the other party found a reason to slip out of the back door.
After waiting for a while, he was attacked by a few people who suddenly broke in, and it took some effort to kill the other party.
Bai Yue didn't ask what this "kill" meant.
In short, although Mu Sihan knew who the group of guys who attacked him was, he didn't know where the leader of the other party was. Therefore, it is still necessary to capture this "intelligence house" and torture the clues.
However, after hearing this, Bai Yue was more certain of yesterday's guess.
Sure enough, there is an unknown force that wants to monopolize the big cake of the source spar.
At this moment, the bald head suddenly increased his speed and circled into another alley.
Mu Sihan paused: "I'll go around to block him, you continue to chase."
Bai Yue nodded.
After the two separated, Bai Yue continued to chase along the same path. But as soon as he stepped into the alley, he bumped into several big men.
These people were burly and the strongest were two meters tall.
Bai Yue apologized and was about to take a detour. As a result, the man refused to forgive, and instead took a step to block him: "I bumped into someone, apologized and left?"
Now is not the time to waste time.
Bai Yue raised his eyes and looked over the shoulder of the other person, trying to find the bald figure. However, seeing the other party hiding in the dark, he shrank his head and peeped at this side.
I see.
"Yo, you still stare at people?" The man teased, "You are so short, shouldn't you be an omega?"
Another person smiled and continued: "How can you, you are not a fool. How can an omega enter such a place?"
He said, reaching out his hand, as if to tear off the hood.
Bai Yue flashed back, grabbed the man's arm directly, and twisted it back suddenly.
With a heart-piercing scream, the man fell directly to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. Everyone underestimated the person in front of them, and they never thought that this person would move so fast.
After reacting, the leader waved his arm: "Give it to me!"
The crowd rushed up.
After a while, after a crackling sound, everyone fell to the ground. Only one person in the middle was standing.
Bai Yue lightly stepped over the group of people and walked forward.
The bald head is hiding in the shadows, looking at the scene here. When he saw that the bodyguards he had found were easily killed, he couldn't help but froze in place.
Before he could react, he saw the man walking in front of him. The head was wrapped in a turban, revealing only a pair of light gray eyes.
Bending his eyes: "Are they your people?"
The voice is warm and pleasant, but to the bald head, it sounds like a spell.
Then he recovered, turned around and ran.
After a few steps, he stopped. In front of him, a shadow jumped down and approached him.
Bald head looked back, looked forward again. The road was blocked by people in front of and behind, and there was no way to escape.
His legs faltered and he slumped to the ground.
Mu Sihan's voice was cold: "Let's lead the way, where is Su Cheng."
