Wu Qi withdrew from the cave and explained the situation inside. Miranda asked to go in and take a look out of the desire to report to Mo Li about exploring the appearance. Wu Qi accompanied her into the cave again, leaving Chris to guard the entrance.
Two minutes later, everyone left the cave and continued to explore the forest behind the mountain. Time seemed to pass very slowly. Wu Qi walked deeper and deeper while searching for traces of plague species. However, the sun still hung high in the east and had not yet moved to the center of the sky.
"Hey, let them patrol the junction of the front and rear mountains for a while. There is no point in going further east." Miranda said.
"He is not the captain of the hunting team. He has no right to choose where to explore." Wu Qi said calmly.
The flesh on Miranda's face twitched, and she said angrily: "Even if I am the captain of the team, that power was given to me by Molly. Don't be too conceited."
"If I am worried about encountering a powerful plague species and fearing death, then he will try his best to protect me." Wu Qiru said. That's not the responsibility he promised Molly.
Wu Qi's tone was very calm and cold, unable to give anyone who didn't know him a safe zone at all. What's more, Miranda has never seen Wu Qi's strength, and has no intention of relying on his so-called "protection".
"Tsk."
Miranda snorted. She picked up the electromagnetic rifle in her leg and looked around cautiously.
There are tall coniferous trees all around, and the field of view is very wide. If a large beast approaches quietly, they can detect it immediately. But after Wu Qi led the team deeper for 10 minutes, they entered an area with dense shrubs and low tree crowns. The soil there is clearly soft and moist, and the vegetation on the ground is as dense as a green carpet. Many red mushrooms can be seen.
Wu Qi used a long knife to split open the branch barrier blocking the way forward, and the crisp sound of branches breaking could be heard one after another. Soon he opened a path for one person to cross and was the first to cross.
Jin Fu's emerald green field of vision widened several times in an instant, and Wu Qi's first sight was a pool of emerald green swamp. The water surface of the swamp is a reflection of the sky. In addition to the dense branches and leaves, there is a red sky separated by squares of branches. A drop of tellurium swirling on the surface of the leaf bent the tip of the leaf at a certain moment, fell vertically to the east, and fell into the deep green pool with a splash, creating a circle of weak water waves.
The two sides of the swamp are about 20 meters wide. You can easily reach the ends of both sides with your eyes, but the swamp bank extending into the distance is elusive. Some mutated aquatic plants growing in the swamp separated the two banks, blocking a large area of Wu Qi's field of vision.
The swamps in the forest are places where large beasts drink water. The discovery of swamps means that you can wait and see countless large plague species. It also represents the potential danger of being surrounded by plague species living in groups.
Miranda and Chris took a step back to see the swamp, and they both cast their eyes on Wu Qi's back. Whatever Jie Dong Lai Qiu does depends on Wu Qi's decision.
"Remember that place and evacuate first tomorrow." Wu Qi made a calm judgment.
Miranda breathed a sigh of relief. It was best for Wu Qifu to leave as soon as possible. She didn't want to stay in a place where she was sure to encounter a large plague species.
Wu Qiji walked to the swamp and left immediately. Just a minute after they left, dull footsteps sounded from the swamp shore. A giant moose with a length of more than 4 meters, a shoulder height of 3.6 meters, a body of more than two tons, and a pair of large, palm-shaped horns walked to the shore. It lowered its neck, stuck out its tongue, and licked the water quietly to drink.
The environment around the swamp is very quiet, except for the regular sound of giant moose drinking water. It's like a paradise where people can live peacefully without the plague, and it has never been visited by humans.
... ...
Mining machines and personnel are not the gears of the "large machine" called the mining area. All the gears are rotating step by step. As long as there is no invasion from foreign enemies, they will continue to rotate without change.
Wu Qi returned to the mining area and reported the progress of the mission to Mo Li as usual. After a short lunch break, he and Chris stood at the edge of the mining area, preparing to set off for the mountain as soon as Miranda came out.
"Wu Qi, wait!"
Wu Qi did not wait for Miranda, but Mo Li walked behind him.
"Captain Molly, where is Miss Miranda?" Wu Qi asked. He found that there was something interesting in Molly's eyes, and it didn't look like he was coming to give instructions.
"Miranda is ill and Dongwu won't go."
Whether Wu Qizhen expected this, Miranda's identity is unknown, and her identity is Molly's "eyes". The only purpose of taking her along was to let Molly see the actions they took to ensure the safety of the mining area. Not only was that woman not providing any real help to the hunting party, she also bothered him a lot. Moreover, if she were here, it would be very inconvenient for Chris to drink the blood of the plague species.
It would be best if that woman didn't come. Just when Wu Qi was thinking that, Mo Li suddenly changed the subject: "Are we the same? From now on, he will take back my rights as the leader of the hunting team!"
Chris's eyes showed a look of confusion for a moment. Wu Qi always maintained a calm expression. He asked: "Captain Morley, please tell him why?"
Mo Li resolutely said without giving Wu Qi any detours to hope for: "If I continue to explore the east, what can I do?"
Wu Qi said bluntly: "He can find the pack of terrifying wolves that attacked the mining area at night and kill them and the alpha wolf hiding in the dark. He said that if there is no hunting team, the mining area will be vulnerable to enemies!"
"I've gone deep enough," Molly said coldly. "Don't I know that the noise from the mining machines can't be transmitted to the deep forests behind the mountains? The plague species that live near the swamps are living well in their own paradise. Yes. My going will not only prevent the sheep from entering the tiger's den, but will also attract the enemy to the front mountain! I'm afraid of death, and he wants to consider the lives of his cronies!"
Wu Qi frowned slightly: "Captain Moli, he should have told me that according to his investigation of the geographical environment of the back mountain, 90% of the terrifying wolves that attacked the mining area at night were wolves that originally lived in the back mountain. The pack. That night, the pack of terrifying wolves left a large part of their vitality, and the leader of the pack was always hiding in the dark. Not long ago, the black wind giant bear was killed by a certain terrifying wolf, and the blood containing the strength of the whole body was sucked by it; The dire wolves are the enemy that must be eradicated in the mining area. The swamp is the place where the wolves must go every month, so he will lurk near the swamp, and there is a high possibility of catching them all. As for the safety of Miss Miranda , it doesn’t matter if there are only two people in the team..."
Molly's crimson eyes stared at Wu Qi's. The corners of his mouth sank slightly, and he took out the electromagnetic electro-kinetic rifle hanging on his chest, opened the safety with a click, and aimed at Wu Qi as fast as lightning.
"Wu Qi, he doesn't need me to explain so much to him. I just need to tell him whether I want to disobey military orders or not 'obey orders'!"
