Zhang Dongcheng pulled Yin Qi up, and even though there were few people on this floor, he still pulled his companion to a secluded corner.
If it was normal, Zhang Dongcheng's action would definitely lead to a "severe beating". But now Yin Qi was a little out of shape, and she actually let Zhang Dongcheng hold her hand and run.
Only after she stopped did she come to her senses and then sternly warned: "If you do it again, you'll be prepared to use your feet to wield a sword."
Zhang Dongcheng's mental state was different from usual. He did not react as usual, as if he did not hear Yin Qi's warning. He spoke very quickly: "You mean, the little white-haired boy just now? No, that boy, could it be the captain's... child?"
Yin Qi recalled seriously and said: "I just feel that their facial features are very similar, but I'm not sure, after all, I have no evidence."
Zhang Dongcheng rubbed his hands and said, "If you think they are similar, then you are right."
"Everyone knew that you had a crush on the captain. So your memory of the captain should be the most profound. You wouldn't make a mistake..."
Yin Qi's face flushed with shyness, and she glared at Zhang Dongcheng fiercely: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll turn you into a mute!"
Zhang Dongcheng seemed not to hear these words. He suddenly slapped his thigh and was about to rush out.
This time it was Yin Qi who stopped him: "Where are you going?"
"Find evidence!"
Zhang Dongcheng said as a matter of course: "Ling Feng must have the information about that child. I will go to him to get it now!"
Yin Qi didn't let go: "Calm down. What do you think Ling Feng will think if you suddenly ask for information? The captain's matter is of great importance."
"We have been investigating for so many years, but there are still very few clues. This can only mean that there were high-level people involved in the incident back then."
"You went straight to Ling Feng. If someone has ulterior motives, wouldn't that be the same as telling him that the child is related to the captain?"
Zhang Dongcheng was dumbfounded, and after a moment he said, "You're right, I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this. If the child is not related, it's fine, but if it is really the captain's child, then I have harmed him."
He added: "I learned from Brother Jingnan that the captain left his bloodline on the fortress. But we have been looking for it for so many years and have not found it. I didn't expect that after so long, there would be another clue today."
"You'd better not get too excited, and don't rush to investigate the child, so as not to cause him unnecessary trouble."
Yin Qi let him go, but still reminded him, "We can use this expedition to approach the child more gently and naturally."
"We must conduct the investigation secretly and not draw too much attention. If the child is indeed the captain's, then we must consider how to send him away as soon as possible."
"Because I think the captain's story is not over yet. You have also seen the route map of this expedition. You should know that part of it overlaps with the traces left by the captain back then."
"If his children are left in the fortress, they will be drawn into a bigger vortex sooner or later."
A strong murderous intent surged in Zhang Dongcheng's eyes: "If that child is really the captain's bloodline, whoever dares to touch him, I, Zhang Dongcheng, will fight him to the death!"
Yin Qi sighed and said, "We have been stuck at Rank 6 for many years, and the materials for the sublimation medium have always been unable to be gathered due to various accidents."
"In fact, I wonder if someone is deliberately interfering behind this. The purpose is to prevent us, the captain's old subordinates, from being promoted to higher ranks.
So as not to lose control.”
"We are only at rank 6. If someone really wants to take advantage of that child, it will be difficult to stop them."
Zhang Dongcheng said hoarsely: "So what? If I wasn't the captain, I would have died eight hundred times in the world of adversity when I was a rookie!"
"Anyway, I have to preserve his bloodline no matter what!"
"I think so too. I'm just saying that it's best for us to do this in secret."
Yin Qi gently rolled up her hair: "Besides, we still don't know whether the boy is related to the captain. So, don't be anxious, confirm this first, then consider other things."
Zhang Dongcheng sighed, "It can only be done this way. When it comes to being meticulous, I'm nowhere near as good as you. Anyway, I will follow your arrangements unconditionally."
Yin Qi nodded: "Let's go, we will discuss it in detail when we get to the Reverse Realm."
Zhang Dongcheng clapped his fists and palms together: "I really hope to complete the mission quickly."
On the ground floor of the Night Walker headquarters building, Tianyang and Kunlan came to the supply warehouse. Lanmao took out the receipt for his items and knocked on the exchange window rudely.
A handsome face appeared in the window. It was a young soldier. He saw Kun Lan and said nervously, "Sir, what's the matter?"
Kun Lan took a picture of the receipt and said, "Check for me quickly to see if my weapon has been issued. I'm waiting to use it."
"OK."
The private took the receipt, entered the order number, and checked: "Yes, your weapon will be delivered tomorrow, please wait a little longer."
"What, tomorrow?"
Kun Lan said dissatisfiedly: "We have to leave in three days. The R&D department is taking too long. Tell them to hurry up and send it to me today!"
"Otherwise, I'll get it myself!"
The private looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Tianyang came over and pushed Kunlan away: "Don't make it difficult for them. It's only one day anyway. Just be patient."
He handed over his receipt: "Please help me check it."
Seeing that Tianyang was much easier to talk to, the private breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, please wait a moment."
He quickly found the item number: "Sir, your weapon has been delivered. Please wait, I will get it for you now."
When Kun Lan heard this, he almost rushed to the window: "Why should Baimao's weapons have already been issued, but I still have to wait another day? It's not fair!"
Tian Yang reluctantly carried him away and said to the private soldier, "Don't worry about him, go and do your work."
After leaving Kunlan aside, Tianyang didn’t have to wait long before the private came back.
Moreover, he and another soldier were carrying a small weapon box. Judging from the box, it was just the size of an ordinary one-handed sword.
But for some reason, the two of them seemed to have a hard time lifting it.
Kun Lan shook his head and said, "These new recruits should practice more. It takes two people to carry a weapon. Did they not eat? Their physical fitness is too poor."
While Lanmao was muttering to himself, the two soldiers finally brought the box over. Their faces turned red, and they moved the box onto the platform in one go.
When the weapon box fell onto the table, there was a loud crash, and the alloy table shook twice, which showed from another perspective how heavy the box was.
Kun Lan finally stopped and said in amazement: "There is really a weapon in it
Are you sure it's not a heavy weapon used by the three-dimensional armed forces?"
Tianyang also came over in surprise: "Is this mine?"
The soldier in charge of registration wiped his sweat and said with a heavy breath, "It's yours, sir. I have checked the number on the receipt. There is no mistake."
He pushed the portable weapon box out of the window with all his strength and tried to force a smile: "I wish you a pleasant experience."
Tianyang picked up the box with some doubt. Although he was prepared, he still felt his arms heavy when he actually lifted the box.
Good weight!
It must weigh at least 200 kilograms!
He moved the box closer suspiciously and opened it according to the code on it.
After the box was opened, a long sword and a scabbard were seen lying inside.
The style of the long sword is very ordinary, there is nothing special about it. It is a straight sword for one-handed use.
The hilt and the guard are both black, with spiral texture on the hilt to prevent slipping; there are some flowing cloud patterns on the guard, dotted with fine star sand, as if the stars are half hidden behind the clouds.
The so-called star sand is the granulation of star crystals. It is the leftover scraps from the star crystal processing process. It is the lowest-grade and most useless scrap.
Their only value is to be used as embellishment in certain handicrafts.
They can no longer release star essence and cannot provide any energy, but in the dark, the star sand will emit a faint fluorescence, which gives them a certain craftsmanship value.
As for the sword body, there is no doubt that it was made from the "branch" given by the ancient star crystal tree.
On the sword, you can even see faint tree patterns and some natural light blue patches.
These patches are large and small, deep and shallow, distributed in disorder, and light up from time to time, like starlight.
Next to the weapon box, there is an instruction card.
It says.
'This sword is made from the branches of the ancient star crystal tree. The strange thing is that during the processing, as the shape changes and the volume decreases, the weight of the sword increases instead of decreasing.'
"Using special instruments, we found that the density of the sword increased automatically, so that after the shaping was completed, the weight of the sword alone reached 211 kilograms."
'After various tests, we found that this sword does not have its own fixed ability, but it can enhance the user's class ability. Improve the effect and increase the power.'
'The increase data will fluctuate between 40% and 50%.'
'Because the sword has a restrained starlight, like a brilliant Milky Way, it is named 'Xinghan'.'
'Note: Because there is no material left, if there is any damage, it cannot be repaired, please do it yourself. - Gu Min'
... ...
When Tianyang was looking at the description card, Kunlan had already picked up the long sword named "Xinghan". As soon as he picked it up, Lanmao's face changed.
"Oh my god, it's so heavy? There's no need to chop people down, just throw it over and smash them to death."
Tianyang took a slight breath, reached out to take it, and tried to wave it.
Then the long sword made a low whistling sound, and left a few dim starlight in the air.
For the next three days, Tianyang stayed in the training ground, getting familiar with the weight of the sword and testing its amplification capabilities so that he could better exert its power in actual combat.
Just like that, three days passed in a flash.
The day of departure has finally arrived!
