Back in the room, the two began to narrate what happened.
They got up early. Because I was worried about the problem mentioned yesterday, I went to the police station again to confirm that the police did not release anyone.
If you want to let them go, at least you have to wait for them to leave, otherwise it will be too shameless.
However, when they arrived at the police station, they learned the sad news of Su Cheng's death.
The people from the K city police station also comforted them: "If you die, you will die. Anyway, you are a local hooligan."
Looking at this attitude, it doesn't seem to be investigating the truth at all.
Xu Chengdong: "We saw the body with our own eyes. They carried the person out and asked us if we wanted it."
The bearded man disliked it very much: "Why are people in K city like this?"
Bai Yueqing finished listening to the narration of the two.
Since he saw it with his own eyes, it is unlikely that the corpse is faked. So, is Su Cheng really dead
In a place like K City, it is not uncommon for a guy like Su Cheng who has a lot of enemies to die. But it always feels a little weird.
Cao Xun: "It can only be said that death is worthless. No matter what we do, we are not the police."
The bearded man and Xu Chengdong looked at each other.
Although this statement makes sense, the dead body of the great living person who was alive yesterday is completely cold today. No matter what the identity of that person is, it always feels unpleasant.
"I'm a little worried, Su Cheng's death is related to Originium."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at Bai Yue in unison.
Xu Chengdong was puzzled: "But isn't Su Cheng the boss of this incident, why would someone kill him?"
Cao Xun reacted: "You mean, maybe there are other people above?"
Bai Yue: "Su Cheng can't swallow such a big cake alone. He may have violated the interests of others by telling us the location of the source spar. Therefore, it is not impossible to kill."
When the words fell, the room fell silent.
Originally thought it was just a simple three-star military mission, just find the source spar. But the chain of interests hidden in the dark is more complicated than they imagined.
Seeing everyone's serious faces, Bai Yue was relieved: "Don't think too much. At least this shows that the information Su Cheng told us is true. Next, we just need to find the source spar, and wait for the military to come over and solve other matters."
"That's what I said." Xu Chengdong nodded quickly.
It was a surprise to them that Su Cheng was killed, but even so, what they were going to do would never change.
The water in the city of K is very deep, and what happened after this is not something that can be solved by their military cadets. In order to advance the incident as soon as possible, the top priority is to complete the military mission as soon as possible.
The three walked out of the room.
Bai Yue was about to follow him out, when he saw Mu Sihan leaning against the window, seemingly in deep thought.
Bai Yue: "What's wrong?"
Hearing the voice, Mu Sihan looked up. After a moment of silence, he looked away: "I was just thinking, death is such an easy thing."
From Bai Yue's point of view, Mu Sihan was not someone who could say such sad words, so he couldn't help but be startled.
He knew that Mu Sihan used to live here, but at that time the other party was still very young, what kind of friendship would he have with Su Cheng
"Don't get me wrong." Mu Si said coldly, "That guy is just a simple bully."
When Su Cheng was young, Mu Sihan was still very young. For him, the group of people represented by Su are all terrifying beings.
But no matter how terrifying it was at the time, he's still dead now. Even the way of death is so ridiculous that he was killed by someone in the police station.
Mu Sihan walked out of the room, and when passing by Bai Yue, he paused: "You also have to be careful."
He looked sideways, "There is more than one person like Su Cheng."
Bai Yue stood still. It wasn't until Mu Sihan left that he turned to look back.
What is this reminding him of
Bai Yue pondered. The task of finding the source spar, always felt that it would not be so smooth.
They also informed the other cadets of the news of Su Cheng's death.
Don't want to cause panic, but everyone's mentality is overly excited right now, thinking the mission is about to be done.
So you must be vigilant.
According to the information, the source spar is buried under the deep mountain 100 kilometers away from K city.
After the cadets of the Imperial Army met, they boarded the rented hover car and arrived at their destination at about noon.
After getting out of the car, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.
A huge mountain sits above the earth. Almost out of sight, straight into the sky.
Leah Star is undeveloped, so most places still maintain the original ecology.
"There shouldn't be any beasts here."
Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their weapons.
This mountain is so remote that no information can be found on the Internet. For them, it is a completely unfamiliar and unknown place.
However, the information mentioned the approximate coordinates of the source spar. Just follow the map and you can always find your target.
"A group of cowards, what's so scary." The bearded man waved his arms, "Come with me! The one who finds the source spar first wins!"
After speaking, he took the lead and rushed in.
This remark is naive, but someone takes the lead, and it is very encouraging. Many people were driven to speed up their steps into the mountains.
The road ahead is relatively smooth.
Although it is undeveloped, someone should have come before and stepped on a route that is convenient for walking.
However, as it went deeper, the weather gradually deteriorated. A mist rose all around.
Bai Yue walked in the middle of the team, and there were dozens of people before and after. However, as we walked, the fog became thicker and thicker, and almost no one from a meter away could see clearly.
He stopped and patted the shoulder of the person in front of him: "Wait, let's go after the fog clears."
Xu Chengdong: "Oh, good!"
Everyone who heard his words stopped.
Bai Yue looked around and found that there were only the first few people around him.
The other cadets walked hurriedly or slowly. Everyone disappeared unknowingly.
"Let's get in touch." Cao Xun took out his phone.
When I saw the space in the upper right corner, I was speechless, "No signal."
This is about the same as complete disconnection. Although before coming in, everyone wore a communicator. However, the coverage of the communicator is limited, and those who have been separated have been unable to be reached.
Xu Chengdong is very optimistic: "Maybe they will reach their destination first. Let's wait first."
As of now, there seems to be no other choice. The visibility is so low now that it is impossible to even figure out the north, south, east, and west, let alone move forward.
The others either sat down on the spot or leaned against the tree and waited for the white mist to dissipate.
At the same time, the Emperor One Comprehensive Military Academy.
The picket team had been observing the performance of the students through the "reconnaissance bug", but at this time they noticed something was wrong.
"Captain, it's foggy. The picture is not clear."
"Some of the 'reconnaissance bugs' failed, and the screen went black. It is impossible to determine whether it is human damage or environmental factors."
Although the reconnaissance bug is a military item that has been eliminated, it is not so fragile that it will fail when it fogs up.
Fu Cheng frowned: "What's the damage rate?"
"10%, 12%..." the team members reported, "I'm improving step by step."
They have been monitoring the situation of the students, so they probably know the current progress.
The location of the source spar has been confirmed, just take a photo. However, a large number of reconnaissance bugs in the last ring were damaged, and it looked really abnormal.
After reaching a figure of 20%, the damage rate finally stopped.
Fu Cheng pointed at one of the reconnaissance bugs: "Release the follower first, and give priority to investigating the cause of the damage."
Players: "Yes."
The thick fog has not dissipated.
About half an hour passed. In the beginning, most people still maintain a relaxed state of mind. But as time passed and the weather still showed no signs of improving, they all started to get restless.
And the issue of disconnection is even more frustrating.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Someone couldn't help standing up, "If the fog doesn't clear, we'll have to sit for a day? Let's walk slowly, and let's check the direction together."
Someone responded immediately.
Cao Xun looked at Bai Yue.
Bai Yue noticed his gaze and shrugged helplessly.
Indeed, the dense fog persists, and it is not realistic to stay here for a day. However, moving forward in this weather is indeed a bit dangerous.
He stood up: "Let's go back the same way."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Bai Yue: "Don't be in a hurry, wait until the situation improves before entering the mountain."
"But, but, what about the others," someone asked. "We don't care?"
If everyone is present at this time, and everyone advances and retreats together, they may go out together.
But the problem now is that some people's whereabouts are unknown. They just left on their own, always feeling like deserters.
Bai Yue just wanted to answer. Suddenly, a piercing scream came from not far away. The thick fog was cut through and passed directly into the ears of everyone.
In this deep mountain, apart from them, there should be no other living people. So some team members are in danger
Immediately someone stood up and rushed into the thick fog: "Don't panic, I'll save you!"
Shouldn't you really meet a beast
One person took the lead, and the others also stood up with weapons in their hands.
"Wait a minute." Bai Yue tried to stop it.
The source of the sound is unclear. Let’s not talk about whether or not you can find someone. If you rush to it now, you will definitely get lost immediately.
At least for now, they can still confirm their location.
Xu Chengdong originally planned to save people, but when he heard Bai Yue's voice, he subconsciously stopped.
Others, however, didn't listen at all. The figure disappeared into the white fog, and soon, even the sound of footsteps was drowned out.
After a brief commotion, the surroundings returned to calm again.
At present, the only people around Bai Yue are Mu Sihan, Cao Xun and Xu Chengdong.
As for those who rushed to save lives. Although I don't know if anyone has been found, at least I haven't heard their voices again.
Xu Chengdong was nervous: "What should I do now?"
Bai Yue was silent.
If it is just a simple fog, the danger is not so great. But he faintly felt that someone was using this environment to try to spread them out so that they could be defeated one by one.
The scream just now came at a too appropriate time.
There were differences of opinion within the team. That shout seemed to be deliberately trying to lure them away.
Bai Yue: "No matter what you hear next, try not to separate."
Cao Xun and Xu Chengdong nodded cautiously.
However, at this time, Mu Sihan frowned and looked in a certain direction.
Bai Yue also heard the movement and looked over.
In the thick fog, two dazzling red spots appeared. And soon they discovered that it was not light, but the eyes of an animal.
Then, a huge giant wolf came out with a terrifying low roar in his throat.
Bai Yue was stunned.
Is it really a mountain beast
Is it because they are too loud, so they are drawn out
The giant wolf pounced. And Mu Sihan moved faster than it.
Even if the opponent is non-human, there is no fear. Leap into the air, and hit straight down - just stabbed in the neck of the giant wolf!
The giant wolf shook his head. The power is very huge, and it directly throws people down.
Mu Sihan rolled back in the air and landed steadily. He glanced at his dagger and narrowed his eyes.
Xu Chengdong was about to step forward to help. However, after seeing that the giant wolf was injured, he turned around and left.
Because he remembered Bai Yue's words, he didn't go after him. On the contrary, another person galloped away, and a gust of wind blew up as they passed by.
Xu Chengdong watched the man's back and rubbed his eyes.
Cao Xun was annoyed: "I said try not to disperse as much as possible, why did he run away alone? What's the use of killing the wolf?"
Bai Yue didn't speak, but walked up and picked up a bunch of fur. This was dropped by the giant wolf just now.
Then, put it in front of the nose and smell it.
Strange smell, kind of like motor oil.
He stood up and wanted to show the tuft of hair to the two of them. Suddenly, a loud muffled sound was heard.
He looked around and saw no other figures.
Bai Yue: "You heard..."
Turning around, the words got stuck in his throat.
What catches the eye is a thick white mist, like pure milk floating in the air. All he could see was the dirt on the soles of his feet.
not a single person.
The two who were standing behind him just now disappeared.
Immediately after the next second, several red eyes appeared out of thin air, and growls one after another.
Bai Yue looked around, slowly picked up the dagger, and placed it in front of him.
The bite force and impact of the giant wolf should not be underestimated.
Bai Yue killed a few, but there were too many, and they were still losing ground.
The beasts seemed tireless, staring at his throat, wanting to bite down.
Bai Yue kicked away the rushing giant wolf again, and his back pressed against the tree trunk.
The paralyzing effect that comes with the dagger doesn't help.
Although he had doubts just now, after a fight, he figured out one thing.
These "giant wolves" are not real animals.
The fur smelled of organic oil, and there was no blood when a knife was pierced into the body. Mu Sihan must have discovered this and followed the wolf away.
It is estimated that they want to find the culprit behind it.
However, these giant wolves are tireless and not afraid of getting hurt. If it goes on like this, he will run out of strength first. Before that, we must find a breakthrough and break out of the encirclement.
At the same time, two more giant wolves rushed forward. Bai Yue plunged the dagger into the head of one of them, and the other directly parried it with his hand.
will be injured. But as long as you control this end, you can find a gap!
The giant wolf opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite down.
Bai Yue didn't shy away, his eyes stared straight at the other's sharp teeth.
At this moment, the giant wolf's body suddenly froze. The tail seemed to be grasped by someone, and it swirled around in mid-air before being thrown straight out. With a loud bang, his back slammed into the tree trunk behind him.
Bai Yue was slightly startled, looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The opponent's shot was swift and violent, killing all the giant wolves at the same time.
Bai Yue has been training for so long, but his eyes can barely keep up with each other's movements.
The last giant wolf was picked up by the man with one hand, and then slammed to the ground. The man lifted his right foot and slammed into the belly of the giant wolf!
Only a crisp sound was heard, and the giant wolf no longer made a sound.
The man was wearing a pair of short boots. When he lifted his feet from the belly of the giant wolf, he also brought a string of light blue fragments.
Bai Yue squatted in front of the tree trunk.
The other party was not wearing a uniform and did not look like a fellow cadet. After you've solved the last one, turn your head.
Pure white mask. He wore a hood on his head, covering his face tightly.
After approaching, he stretched out his hand towards Bai Yue.
Are you going to pull him up
Bai Yue hesitated to reach out. But the other party ignored him, grabbed the 'reconnaissance bug' circling and fluttering next to him, and crushed it directly.
Selfish. Bai Yue was a little embarrassed, just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the next second his wrist was held and he was pulled up.
He didn't stand still, and almost threw himself into the other's arms.
"… "
A strangely familiar feeling.
Bai Yue looked at this man.
If you guessed correctly, this guy should be a member of the picket hatred organization, so it is not surprising that the "scout bug" was destroyed.
But why is it here
Bai Yue looked away and turned to the fallen wolves around him.
He noticed just now that every attack of the masked man was focused on his abdomen.
And the string of light blue shards brought up at the end, could it be source spar
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have seen photos on the Internet, and it is indeed a light blue stone.
These source spar are the energy that drives the giant wolf's actions.
If so, it would make him even more sure who sent these giant wolves to attack.
Those guys who hide in the shadows and rely on source spar trading to make a profit, definitely don't want them to tell the military what happened here.
Bai Yue thought about it.
Suddenly, the masked man grabbed his wrist and walked out.
Bai Yue staggered and looked up at the man: "Where are you going?"
The masked man said concisely: "Go down the mountain."
The sound is altered so that the timbre cannot be heard.
At this moment, the thick fog has dissipated a lot.
However, the current situation, these new students alone may not be able to solve it.
A signal must be found as soon as possible to report the situation to the pickets. Although the reconnaissance bug has been filming, the visibility was extremely poor just now, and it is uncertain whether the picket team understands the current situation.
In Bai Yue's view, now is not the time to conduct an assessment.
In the worst case, the candidates may die.
Bai Yue calmed down and pulled out his wrist: "Understood, I will go out and report first."
After a pause, he said again, "Thank you just now."
The masked man didn't answer, turned around, and seemed to be about to leave.
"and many more."
Bai Yue stopped him again, "Why do you have such a big conflict with the picket team?"
The masked man looked sideways at him.
"Confirm with your eyes what the pickets are."
Leaving these words, he walked into the woods, and soon disappeared.
Bai Yue stood still.
Looking back, when I first entered the school, the seniors and sisters all scoffed at this organization.
Bai Yue didn't have much contact with him, and he didn't have any special likes and dislikes.
But since the other party saved him, it proved that he was not a bad person. The pickets hate this group of people, is it just for breaking the school rules
Rules are everything.
This sentence flashed in Bai Yue's mind, then shook his head and continued to walk down the mountain.
The masked man did not go far, but hid in the tree. Seeing Bai Yue leave, continue to chase.
"Boss, why are you so sneaky. If you want to be a flower protector, it's better to send him down the mountain directly, and you can earn goodwill."
There was a dangling voice behind him.
Shang Yufei frowned and looked back.
"Stop talking nonsense, are you done?"
"Don't worry." Wu Zihao saluted, "There is absolutely no problem."
Shang Yufei gave a "hmm" and asked again, "What about the live broadcast?"
Wu Zihao: "Everything is ready! Just wait for your order to start broadcasting."
Shang Yufei: "Wait."
Seeing that Bai Yue had gone far, he stopped delaying and continued to chase after him.
Bai Yue came to the foot of the mountain, and no military students were seen nearby.
It seems that except for him, everyone else is still in the mountains.
The cell phone signal was restored, and he sent an email to the pickets. In addition to reporting the status quo, mortality risk was also mentioned. I hope we can suspend the assessment and send someone to help them.
And soon, he received a reply.
[Student Bai Yue:
Thanks for your informing.
However, it is normal to encounter danger on the way of the mission. I believe that you are also mentally prepared to sacrifice and go all out at any time.
In addition, according to the regulations, if you ask for help, the assessment will be terminated, and everyone will give an "unqualified" evaluation. If more than half of the people agree to terminate the assessment, we will immediately send team members to help. 】
more than half.
Bai Yue's eyes focused on these four words.
Now that the life and death of all the staff are uncertain, and the communication has been interrupted, how can this condition be achieved.
It seems that as long as they don't complete their mission, the pickets are ready to let it go, and don't care about their lives or deaths.
"… "
Bai Yue put away the phone.
Indeed, I have heard it many times by now.
Both the teachers and the pickets are emphasizing the dangers of the mission.
However, when it was obvious that they could be rescued, they turned a blind eye for the reason of "assessment". It's really hard to understand.
He raised his head and turned his eyes to the huge mountain again.
The teammates are still there. So far, no one has found the source spar.
Bai Yue took out the dagger and walked towards the deep mountain.
Since the pickets had to wait until their task was completed, all he could do now was to show them.
The fog has dissipated, and the weaknesses of those giant wolves have been confirmed.
There will be no problem.
