The members of the investigation team rode a group of plague species, walked out of the mountain exit at a constant speed, and set foot on the vast wilderness plain again. The marching speed of the investigation team gradually increased to 100 kilometers per hour. It was not necessary to go higher, but it was because the speed and physical strength of the low-level plague species were limited.
You can maintain a speed of 100 kilometers per hour without any physical exertion, which is much better than walking.
Is it very stupid and inefficient for the army to aimlessly search for the Gray Queen in the middle of nowhere? Wu Qi was slightly worried about Dong, and the investigation team gave him the perfect answer.
There is a warrior among the Crouching Tigers who is good at tracking. He has the second-level "Tracing" ability "Tracing Guidance" in place. He had collected the Gray Queen's blood sample during the battle, and now he used the preserved blood sample from the East as a medium to perform "tracing guidance." As an incumbent special agent, the performance of "Tracing Guide" is superior to that of "Tracing" in all aspects, its precision is greatly increased, and it is not as flawed as "Tracing" that can be exploited for deception.
In the field of vision of "Trail Warrior", there are a large number of gray fluorescent particles floating in the air. Following those fluorescent particles, the fluorescent particles will naturally lead them to the Gray Queen.
The tracking warrior led the team at the front, with Nero and Song Zha scattered on the left and right sides of the team. Wu Qi and Renee were at the rear of the team, and in the middle were the animal taming warriors and logistics soldiers who controlled the plague species slaves.
Over time, the warriors who need to be more vigilant on the outside of the team alternate with the warriors on the outside. The investigation team followed the gray fluorescent particles tracking the Gray Queen in such an orderly marching pattern. From noon to marching until nightfall, Niero gave orders for everyone to rest, and the soldiers set up tents and took out dried meat and water bottles to replenish their consumption.
After a while, Wu Qi took the initiative to walk to the side of the tracking soldier. There were two other Crouching Tiger warriors next to the tracking warrior. Wu Qi didn't care about the large number of people and the small number of people, and asked directly: "How far is it from the Gray Queen?"
"About 600 kilometers." The tracking soldier asked if he had seen the investigation team's VIP guest and kicker "Qi Wu" and replied directly.
"Thanks."
Wu Qi walked back to his resting place - next to the walking dire wolf. He walked east on the spot and closed his eyes to rest.
"Don't sleep, you haven't eaten yet?"
Wu Qi heard Renee's voice again in the world where his vision was completely dark. Renee's clear yet mature voice was always surrounding his ears these days. After listening to it too often, it actually became more intimate than the voices of other members of the investigation team.
If Gu Changzai were asked to evaluate Renee's voice, he would probably rate it "sexy".
Wu Qi didn't even bother to ask "What's wrong?" and just opened his eyes. In Renee's leg, she held a piece of freshly grilled red and oily animal thigh meat, which had been skewered with an iron skewer.
Renee smiled slightly and handed the piece of barbecue to Wu Qi. Wu Qi took the iron pick, looked at the fragrant barbecue that had been grilled for the perfect time, and asked casually: "Don't all the marchers have dried meat? Where does that come from?"
"The investigation team unanimously agreed to kill two large deer to improve the food supply. Soldiers have gone to the wilderness to catch new replacements for the missing cavalry. As for the roasted meat, he came to bring it to me. Speaking of my sense of smell, Can't you smell the barbecue smell?"
"It doesn't mean that he will care about any smell." Having said that, Wu Qi picked up the barbecue sent by Renee and ate it.
Renee walked in front of Wu Qi and watched Wu Qi eat. Wu Qi felt uncomfortable for a while, but he couldn't tell Renee to stop looking and go away.
"The wilderness god's revelation cannot detect roasted meat, so I didn't know if it was poisoned or not, so I picked it up and gnawed it with trust." Renee said suddenly.
"He ate it. It's not poisonous. I don't need to scare him." Wu Qi said calmly.
Renee chuckled: "Where did my brain go? Did he say that I showed his trust naturally?"
Only then did Wu Qi know what Renee was talking about. He didn't think there was anything worth saying in it.
"Hmph, he and our investigation team have the same goal. Can they kill the body that spreads the zombie virus? Without his help, would we still want to win with our current strength?"
Renee crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Oh, you can't tell it usually, but I am very proud of myself. But if he tells anyone whether 'Aqi' is true or not, the entire investigation team will temporarily give up on the identity of the zombie virus. It’s not a big deal. One drug knocked me out, and when I woke up, I was back on the other side of the border.”
"Okay, let's just say he trusts Renee, who has fought together through life and death." Wu Qi spread his legs and said with an indifferent look.
"Haha, my way of shutting up is very interesting. It doesn't match my usual calm and ice-like aura." Renee joked.
The corners of Wu Qi's mouth raised slightly, but he soon regained his composure.
"Hey, what did he see just now?" Renee said in surprise.
"Nothing." Wu Qi said seriously.
"Nonsense, he obviously saw me smiling. He's such a good-natured person. If he doesn't smile, he won't say much. Come on, smile more." Renee's eyebrows were full of smiles.
Wu Qi waved his legs and said: "Don't make trouble, he looks like a corpse, how can he have such a good skin?"
Renee put her chin on her legs and looked at Wu Qi with a smile in her eyes. A word came to my lips and I swallowed it back.
In fact, she wanted to say, "Even if I have the face of a zombie, I still look handsome."
She couldn't say anything about it, and her ears were already a little warm for some reason. If she did, the special and embarrassing feeling "at that time" might come back again.
Renee recalled the scene where she handed her legs and arms to Wu Qi to suck and drink blood. Thinking about it now, she felt a little regretful. It would be nice to get a cup.
Forget it, it's better not to take it.
The air was still filled with the sounds of other soldiers talking, and in the distance there was the faint crackling of the fire. In the east of the night sky, the only small patch of light in the vast wasteland seemed to have become very quiet. So quiet that no one in the world disturbs you.
"Hey, Wu Qi, can I remember the first night they met in the cave?" Renee hugged her knees with her arms and said softly.
After Wu Qi finished eating the barbecue, Dong said "hmm" consciously, and his expression suddenly changed slightly in a second.
"Idiot, I spilled the beans." Wu Qi reminded in a low voice. At the same time, he glanced at everyone around him and moved his legs closer to the handle of the long knife.
Renee suddenly remembered. She gave Wu Qi a smile that meant "you can't afford to be wrong", opened her lips lightly, and slowly revealed her true feelings.
"At that time, he never imagined that one day they would be chatting so close. I would joke with him and laugh in front of him."
When Wu Qi heard this, his whole body movements gradually stopped. He seemed to "see" a wonderful invisible thread. Was it because Renee's words made him see the invisible thread connecting her, and the other end of the thread was connected to who else but himself.
"Renee, because they became friends."
