thump-
Tianyang fell heavily to the ground, and the star barrier made a crisp sound like glass shattering, turning into thousands of tiny lights that drifted away.
The young man rolled on the ground several times, then jumped up with all his strength, and slid about ten meters in a half-kneeling position before he stopped.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The barrier that Han Shu put on him in time helped to offset the huge force of the fall. In addition, he had strengthened his physical strength, so he only had some minor sprains and abrasions.
The sound of wheels rubbing against the ground rang in his ears. Tianyang looked up and saw the Falcon Chariot parked sideways in front of him. The door slid open and Han Shu shouted, "Get in!"
Tianyang jumped up and rushed into the car. Han Shu closed the door, and the driver turned the car around and sped towards the town exit.
Han Shu grabbed Tian Yang and spit on his mouth, almost spraying it on the boy's face: "Damn it, don't act on your own without my order from now on!"
Tianyang felt slightly disappointed and lowered his head: "Got it, Captain."
But a broad palm fell on his shoulder again and squeezed it hard, and then Han Shu's voice sounded above his head: "But you did a great job, you have the style of me when I was young."
"Will you die if you don't flatter yourself for a day?" Ji Yu whispered beside him.
Tianyang then raised his head, and Han Shu showed his white teeth, and it seemed that he didn't really blame him.
The boy's mood was finally not so depressed.
There were bursts of screams coming from outside the car. Tianyang looked out the window and saw the tree spirit was disintegrating.
Flowers with human faces were falling from the giant's broken body. After they fell to the ground, they did not reassemble. Instead, they danced with their vines and swam on the ground like octopuses, continuing to chase the car.
However, after disintegrating, the speed of the Human-Faced Flower was far slower than that of the Falcon Chariot, and eventually the pursuers were left far behind. They could only let out bursts of screams behind the thick black fog to express their dissatisfaction.
One hour and seventeen minutes later, the Raven Squad finally left the Desert Valley Town and drove up the high slope outside the town.
The team took a temporary break, and the soldiers were busy cooling the supercharger and replacing damaged tires. Han Shu and his companions sat on a few large rocks and looked towards the town.
When they came, they didn't expect that there were so many terrible things in the town.
Half an hour later, the car started again.
The next day, Team Raven returned to the Lighthouse Outpost.
After getting off the bus
Han Shu went directly to Ling Feng to report the situation, while the others dispersed on the spot and rested temporarily in the base.
Nightcrawler Command.
"That's roughly what happened." Han Shu grabbed a cup next to him and drank all the water that originally belonged to Ling Feng in one breath, then wiped his mouth. There were drops of water hanging on the beard around his mouth, which had obviously grown a lot.
Ling Feng looked at Han Shu with disdain: "That's my cup."
"Don't worry, I'm not sick." Han Shu put down the cup nonchalantly.
"That's not the problem." Ling Feng took out a handkerchief, used it as a cushion on his hand, and picked up the cup and threw it into the trash can. "Okay, go get the message first. I'll let you know if there's a new mission."
Han Shu had no intention of leaving. He even pulled over a chair and sat down.
Ling Feng gave him a questioning look.
Han Shu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Aren't you going to tell me something?"
Ling Feng spread his hands: "For example?"
"For example, who are these Black Princes? Also, what are the so-called rituals of the wizards? But more importantly, I want to know information about the Black King." Han Shu stared at the young chief of staff opposite him and said word by word, "We almost died in that damn place, so I think I have the right to know this."
Ling Feng habitually raised his glasses: "If possible, I don't mind telling you. But unfortunately, given your authority..."
A fist slammed on the table, rudely interrupting Ling Feng's words. Han Shu stood up and leaned forward: "Fuck the authority, I don't understand why this information can't be made public to us!"
Ling Feng's expression remained unchanged: "The fortress did this for a reason. Han Shu, don't worry. You will know when you are supposed to know."
Han Shu narrowed his eyes, snorted, and turned away: "It's up to you, Siyan, you're always being secretive, telling half the truth and leaving the other half. How can the people below trust you?"
Without waiting for Ling Feng's answer, Han Shu walked out of the command office.
It was not until this time that the adjutant Lin Yang spoke up: "You should tell him that even we don't have the authority to know the Black King's information."
Ling Feng smiled faintly: "That guy won't believe it even if I tell him."
Lin Yang nodded in agreement.
Ling Feng's eyes shone: "However, this harvest is indeed unexpected.
. The dark people actually did these things in the Wasteland Town, the Black Prince... ... It seems that they are planning to create a new king."
Lin Yang looked serious: "The last time the Black King appeared was seventeen years ago, right?"
Ling Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the outpost under the light: "Yes, I have read the relevant files. At that time, the Black King led his people to hold some kind of mysterious ceremony. Unfortunately, that matter was classified as the top secret of the fortress. Even I only know the general idea, but I have no right to know the detailed process."
"Then let's see if this time will be the same as seventeen years ago. After all, that wizard also mentioned the 'ritual'." Lin Yang shook his head. "It's hard to believe that the dark people can actually speak our language. It's creepy just thinking about it."
Ling Feng turned around and looked at the drawer under his desk: "Anyway, this matter cannot be left alone. It seems that I have to talk to the commander again. I hope he won't get angry with me. He has been in a bad mood recently."
Lin Yang laughed: "The commander has never been in a good mood, after all, back then..."
"Adjutant Lin." Ling Feng interrupted him and shook his head gently, "Please don't mention this in front of the commander."
Lin Yang stood up straight, his face tense: "I said something wrong!"
Ling Feng then opened the drawer and took out the communicator used to contact Chu Yan.
... ...
An hour later, Tianyang and others were called together.
"What, holiday?"
When Han Shu informed everyone that the command center had asked the Raven Squad to return to the fortress to rest and that they had a full week's vacation, Cang Du was the first to jump up.
"Could it be that the higher-ups are turning a blind eye to the situation in Huanggu Town? Those Black Princes are obviously not good people at first glance. Why don't they plan to organize a crusade?"
The young man with the ponytail spoke in an excited tone, and from the looks of him, it seemed that he couldn't wait to charge back to Huanggu Town.
Old Xu was quite happy, and even quietly asked Tianyang to visit his home in a few days.
Han Shu took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "Even if we organize a crusade, it will take more than one or two days. Anyway, let's go back first. There's a high-speed train in 45 minutes. As for other matters, we'll wait for notification from the higher-ups."
Looking at Han Shu's expression, Tianyang felt that things might not be that simple.
