After Lu Cheng confirmed the safety of the routes of the Laughter and the Goddess on the Upper City Ship, he went through the portal and arrived at a mansion in the Osprey Port of the Far South Empire.
The investigators sent by the Shangcheng ship used this place as a temporary camp. The purpose of the investigation team, in addition to analyzing the cultural features of the Far South Empire, was to find the lost core of the earth veins of the Gray Feather Kingdom.
"Captain Lu!"
As soon as Lu Cheng arrived at the base, the disguised investigators recognized him. They put down their disguises and walked forward to salute him.
"Is there any new movement in the Far South Empire recently?"
Lu Cheng also returned a salute to them. The expedition team was going to carry out the preliminary task of accurately striking the members of the Far South Empire who wanted to own a blood crystal beast faction.
Those who want to raise blood crystal beasts and use them for war purposes are no different from terrorists in the eyes of the rabbits.
If it was America, the decision would probably be to send troops directly to crush them all the way... But the rabbits' approach is to find these dangerous elements who are trying to destroy the world without disturbing the local residents.
Then use "love" to "influence" them.
But the most important task of the exploration team is to find the trace of the core of the earth vein.
"Reporting to Captain Lu, we have recently tracked down a person related to the blood crystal beast breeding plan, and have sent scouts to track him down." The commander of the expedition team said to Lu Cheng.
"Zhou Hua?"
Lu Cheng glanced around the courtyard and immediately called out the name of another old friend of his.
Not long after this sentence was spoken, the liaison officer in the investigation team received a report from the front-line personnel.
"While Elk was tracking the target, something happened to the target." The liaison quickly reported this news to Lu Cheng, which was not sure whether it was bad news or good news...
"Something happened?"
Lu Cheng walked over to the communication radio and picked up the headset.
"Elk, Elk, report the target's current specific situation." Lu Cheng called Zhou Hua's current operation code name on the radio.
"Captain Lu? The target's carriage accidentally flipped down the hillside while driving on a high cliff. Someone did it deliberately. A group of unknown attackers are fighting with the target's guards."
The person on the other end of the radio was surprised for a moment when he heard that it was Lu Cheng's voice, but he still quickly reported the information he had witnessed.
"Tell me your current coordinates."
Lu Cheng glanced at the map placed next to the radio. On the first day the survey team came to Osprey Harbor, they drew a map of the surrounding area and marked the coordinate axes.
"342, 12."
As soon as Lucheng received the coordinates, it sent out Scarre's Crystal Spirit. The target reported by Zhou Hua was a short distance away from Osprey Port, but Scarre's Crystal Spirit flew quite fast.
Five minutes later, the Crystal Spirit informed her that it had arrived at the location designated by Lu Cheng.
After Lu Cheng confirmed with Zhou Hua that the surrounding environment would not be exposed, he summoned a portal that could barely accommodate one person.
Zhou Hua and his scouts were lying in the bushes, observing the situation below the cliff in the distance...
"What's the situation now?"
Lu Cheng lay beside Zhou Hua, picked up the tactical telescope and looked at the cliff in the distance. Next to the cliff was a carriage that had rolled down. There were many corpses lying next to the carriage. Judging from the wounds on the corpses, some were killed by magic, while the others were killed by weapons such as swords and spears.
It was obvious from the clothes that the bodies belonged to two groups.
"They are all dead, but the target survived, but was seriously injured. Captain Lu, can you get some medicine from Earth to stop the bleeding?"
Zhou Hua and Lu Cheng looked at each other. This was not the first time that Lu Cheng had cooperated with this scout. On Earth, Lu Cheng had participated in several exercises with him, all of which were jungle combat.
He is a little shorter than Lu Cheng. It should be said that he is a little shorter, but much shorter. According to him, if he were one centimeter shorter, he would probably not be able to join the army.
But his height did not become a stumbling block that prevented him from shining in the army. Although he did not have the opportunity to join the special forces brigade, he made quite a name for himself in his own reconnaissance company.
At the beginning, Lu Cheng specifically transferred him to the camp's organization.
"What's the plan?" Lu Cheng asked.
"According to the intelligence we have collected so far, the target is a local high-ranking official in the Far South Empire. He was also present when the city ship bombed the Gray Feather Capital... and he is also a participant in the Blood Crystal Beast breeding program. Although we don't know the purpose of this attack, it is an opportunity for us."
Zhou Hua hesitated for a while and said to Lu Cheng.
"If we rescue him directly, no one will be able to get any useful information from him. I was thinking if I could disguise myself as a local woodcutter, rescue him, and then extract some information from him."
"Permission granted. Stay safe. We will cover you from behind."
Lu Cheng thought it was just a test and it was harmless. In Lu Cheng's perception, he could easily find people with magic fluctuations around him. Under this premise, Lu Cheng could fully provide early warning.
The portal to Earth was summoned by Lucheng.
After obtaining the portal, Lu Cheng had to play the role of a blue mechanical cat to various departments in the camp from time to time. As long as they made a request to Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng would take out something from the dimensional portal to solve the problem.
The last one to make a request was the seal spirit that Xiu Enzhe came with. The problem was the blood crystal beast, and then Lu Cheng directly took out the city ship.
This time it was much simpler, just some hemostatic and medical drugs. In order to conceal Zhou Hua's identity, Lu Cheng did not take out any medical equipment that would expose his modern identity.
As Zhou Hua walked towards the forest below, he was wearing the common woodcutter's clothes in the Far South Empire.
As for appearance, there is no need to worry about it. The Far South Empire is a multi-ethnic country. The races here not only refer to human races, but also other races. In addition to half-elves, Lucheng also saw lizardmen in Osprey Port.
I have also met many people from the Far South who have the characteristics of the Celestial Empire in Lucheng at Osprey Harbor...
"There are enemies following you. They don't have a strong magical aura. Do you need support?"
Lu Cheng was communicating in a low voice with Zhou Hua who was walking down the woods using the radio. There was a sniper in Zhou Hua's reconnaissance team, and at this distance they could quickly kill the enemy before he entered the woods.
"The enemy is holding a sword?" Zhou Hua asked.
"He holds a sword and wears armor. He looks more like a knight than a mage." Lu Cheng answered quickly.
"I can handle it." Zhou Hua said.
Lu Cheng stopped answering after hearing this. This action actually had certain risks, but Lu Cheng still believed in Zhou Hua's ability and his acting skills.
