"Don't worry, everyone. I am the person sent by Captain Xu to protect everyone. My surname is Xu, and I have the rank of second lieutenant." Second lieutenant Xu was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he reported his family name when he came out.
The professors and students of the Department of Botany were not ordinary people, and they quickly stabilized their mood. They were very curious about the sudden earthquake, but they were not afraid at all.
Professor Zhou looked at Second Lieutenant Xu and asked, "Second Lieutenant Xu, what happened?"
"I don't know the exact situation. I only know that the sound of the explosion came from the underground forest." Second Lieutenant Xu replied respectfully, "Professor Zhou, let's take the students back to the base. The situation here is unknown. It's not safe here."
"good."
Professor Zhou thought for a while, but he didn't get it right. He led the people from the Department of Plants and rushed back to the M40 base under the escort of Second Lieutenant Xu. A group of people rushed back quickly, and met Chu Po who was hurrying on the way.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"Hello, everyone!"
Hearing from Second Lieutenant Xu that something happened in the lower forest, Xie Qingcheng was very worried about Ji Hanling. When he saw Chu Po, he didn't care about his identity or whether he was afraid of him. When he caught him, he asked, "Your Highness, the Second Prince? Something happened in the forest below, what exactly happened, is the expedition team okay?"
Chu Po stopped in his tracks, feeling a little dissatisfied with the person who stopped him, but after seeing that the person in front of him was Xie Qingcheng, thinking of Ji Hanling who was currently in the underground forest, the dissatisfaction in his heart lessened. After all, Ji Hanling is Xie Qingcheng's eldest brother, and it's normal for his eldest brother to be in a dangerous zone, so it's normal for him to be concerned.
"I don't know exactly what's going on. I just received the news and came here in a hurry." Chu Po replied gently, "We only know that there was a sudden explosion in the forest below, and then the connection between the base and the expedition team was broken." It was suddenly interrupted. According to the news from the previous expedition team, we can only confirm that the explosion was not caused by the expedition team, and there is no conclusion yet about the specific reason."
"Then what will my elder brother and the professor do?"
"People from the Academy of Sciences and the First Legion are trying to restore the communication system, hoping to get in touch with the expedition team below as soon as possible." Chu Po comforted, "Don't worry, Miss Xie, we will definitely find a way to rescue the expedition team below. "
"But... ... "
Xie Qingcheng wanted to say something more, but Chu Po interrupted Xie Qingcheng's words with some incredulity.
"Xie Qingcheng, I'm very busy right now. There are a lot of things that I need to deal with. I have to leave first. I hope you can wait patiently for the result, okay? The empire will not give up the outstanding talents in the forest below."
Xie Qingcheng still wanted to speak, but Sun Baizhou stopped her and said, "Your Highness, Second Prince, we all believe in the Empire, and we also believe that the Empire will handle this matter seriously. We will stay in the base honestly and wait for the final result."
Chu Po nodded in satisfaction, and quickly disappeared with his adjutant and guards.
Sun Baizhou turned his head to comfort Xie Qingcheng: "Sister Qingcheng, don't worry, Captain Ji and the professors will be fine. There are so many experts in the expedition team, and they carry so many powerful and advanced weapons. They can survive in the dangerous interstellar, let alone an underground forest. And the explosion was not caused by the expedition team, so they are not at the center of the explosion, so the danger will be less.”
"Yes." Min Hong also said, "Although the base has temporarily lost contact with the expedition team, it is estimated that it was affected by the aftermath of the explosion. When the aftermath clears, the base will definitely be able to get in touch with the expedition team. Captain Ji There will definitely be nothing wrong with the professor. So, all we need now is to wait, and we must not be upset."
"Don't worry, Qingcheng, my second brother decided to contact the expedition team." Chu Xun also comforted.
"I'll go to the base to have a look. You go back and wait for news." Professor Zhou touched Xie Qingcheng's head and said, "Don't worry, little girl, nothing will happen. Those of them came here through wind, frost, snow and rain. It’s amazing, nothing will happen, don’t worry.”
"Go back first and don't crawl around. Everyone is very busy at this time and has no time to manage you. You don't have to do anything, as long as you don't make trouble for everyone." Professor Zhou told Min Hong, "Min Hong, you are responsible for taking care of you. They went back, and I went to the base with other professors to see if we could be of any help."
"Yes, Professor Zhou."
Although everyone was restless, they still listened to Professor Zhou's words and planned to go back to their place of residence to wait for news.
After sending Xie Qingcheng to the door of the room, everyone comforted Xie Qingcheng, but Xie Qingcheng remained silent. Everyone understood that Xie Qingcheng was not in the mood to chat right now, so they all bid farewell, and soon Xie Qingcheng was the only one left in the room.
"Qingcheng, rest well, don't worry, nothing will happen." Everyone thoughtfully closed the door.
Xie Qingcheng sat on the bed with a worried expression on his face. She is in no mood to rest now, she is almost worried to death. Xie Qingcheng knew that she couldn't help at all, and it was useless to worry here, worrying that she just couldn't help thinking wildly, especially when thinking about the nightmare she had the night before the expedition team left, she felt even more uneasy... ...
"Dandan, Dandan..."
Xie Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and looked in surprise at the direction where the **** locked the Overlord's cage. Overlord, who had been sleeping for half a month, was looking at him with his eyes open, completely confused, as if he was wondering why he stayed in this place.
"Bawang, Bawang, you're awake!" Xie Qingcheng was overjoyed, and immediately ran forward, opened the cage with the key, carried the Bawang out, and looked at the sober Bawang with surprise. Xie Qingcheng was really happy that Overlord was able to wake up at this time.
"Dandan, why am I in this place? Why did you lock me in a cage?" It seemed that Bawang had been sleeping for too long, and Bawang lay in Xie Qingcheng's arms without moving.
"You don't know what happened?"
"what's going on?"
Xie Qingcheng was very surprised. The overlord didn't even know what happened. Don't the people under control know what they did? Xie Qingcheng didn't think too much, and told what happened during this period.
"I hurt someone, and I hurt Dandan's friend. That friend of yours turned out to be His Royal Highness of the Empire. Then I was controlled by someone. Then Ji Hanling entered the underground forest, and now I lost contact." Overlord felt his little My head can't turn around a bit. I just took a short sleep, and when I woke up, it seemed that many things happened, and each of them was a big event, which was really strange.
"Do you remember what happened to you then?"
"At that time..." Overlord tried hard to recall the situation at that time, his eyes slowly refracted a strange light when Xie Qingcheng didn't notice it, and lost the color of the past.
"How was it then?" Xie Qingcheng asked anxiously. She always felt that the Bawang incident was not an isolated incident, perhaps related to the explosion in the underground forest.
"At that time, I came to the base for a stroll, and when I saw this cute Kalo beast, I wanted to play with this Kalo beast. Unexpectedly, someone said I was fat. Hmph, I hate being called fat. Like this If you don't teach him a lesson, it means that I'm easy to bully a fool without morals. Hmph, lucky that kid, he can hide quickly, or I'll definitely slap him in the face!"
Xie Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, then let go of his hand, and threw the Overlord out. Overlord spun around in the air, and landed gracefully on the ground, red eyes flashing.
This is not the overlord at all, the overlord can only use mental power to communicate with her, and this Kalo beast was talking just now, really talking. And Bawang would not say such strange words in such a weird tone, Bawang's voice was a child's voice, not that of an adult man.
"Who are you?" Xie Qingcheng watched the "Overlord" on the ground vigilantly, and clenched his hands unconsciously.
The fake overlord was not afraid at all. He found a chair slowly, jumped on it, and did it like a gentleman. The fake overlord twitched his mouth and seemed to be smiling: "My dear lady, good afternoon. I am Labudon, very happy able to know you."
Xie Qingcheng looked at the fake overlord vigilantly, did not answer, and put his hands behind his back, preparing to secretly send a message to Sun Baizhou and the others, asking them to find someone to help.
"Ah!" Xie Qingcheng only felt that with a flick of her wrist, the communicator was taken away from her hand.
"My dear lady, it's very impolite to be distracted while talking to others." The fake overlord fiddled with Xie Qingcheng's communicator in front of him with his forepaws, and spoke slowly.
Xie Qingcheng was startled, and didn't understand how her communicator was taken away by the fake overlord in front of her. Xie Qingcheng didn't answer the fake Overlord's words, and secretly mobilized her mental power to contact Guangnao Xiaomo in the communicator, but her mental power was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any response at all. Xie Qingcheng couldn't help biting her lower lip, feeling very flustered, not knowing what to do.
"Noble lady, don't do useless work." The fake overlord raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Qingcheng, his eyes were full of indifference, as if he believed that Xie Qingcheng could not turn out its palm.
After many attempts to no avail, Xie Qingcheng knew that the fake overlord had sealed the communicator with mental power, and realized that he was no match for the fake overlord, so he could only give up bitterly.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"My dear lady, you really let me down. I introduced myself just now, my name is Labudon. As a well-educated noble lady, shouldn't you be courteous and tell me your name?"
Xie Qingcheng was speechless for a while, a young Kalo beast spoke to her with the tone of an imperial noble playboy, it was very strange to think about it. Xie Qingcheng looked at the fake overlord and didn't speak.
The fake overlord didn't care about Xie Qingcheng's indifference at all, and said briskly: "This cub calls you Dandan in its memory, and the honorable lady is called Dandan, so can I call you Miss Dandan?"
