Of course, these earth attribute awakeners on the scene were not familiar with each other originally, and they were not in the same team. Therefore, Jiang Yue's appearance did not trigger rejection from others, nor did it seem very abrupt.
On the contrary, having an extra companion gave everyone an inexplicable sense of security.
There is a sense of security called joining a group to keep warm.
After experiencing the catastrophe, each of them was in a constant state of panic, and their fear was far greater than the pursuit mission itself.
Naturally, having one more person means more strength.
Brother Xia, the second-level agent, looked at Jiang Yue's disguised agent and felt familiar, but he couldn't pronounce his name and felt a little embarrassed.
But he is now a second-level agent, with the highest status, and must show off.
"This brother looks familiar. Which team leader was he originally under?"
After hanging around here for so many days, how could Jiang Yue not have a plan to deal with this problem? He scratched his head and said in a heavy tone: "I am under Brother Yuan. Unfortunately, none of the brothers in my team, including Brother Yuan, escaped this time. I just looked everywhere and found a There’s no one left alive.”
When the others heard what he said, they all felt sad, and they couldn't help but feel a bit sad.
Not only this person, but they are also like this? Except for himself, the team he belonged to was also wiped out.
Without his own team, he would have lost his footing here. Without his team and organization, he would have become a lonely ghost.
Even if he will be incorporated into other teams afterwards, how can it be so easy for a new person to integrate into other teams?
Moreover, when your team is wiped out and only one person is left alive, it always feels weird. Will it be considered a disaster? Will new teams be squeezed out when they arrive?
All of this is unpredictable.
In contrast, Brother Xia, as a second-level agent, is obviously more determined mentally.
He quickly grasped the key point of Jiang Yue's words.
"Did you just go back to the mine to look for it?" Brother Xia asked, staring at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had already thought of his words before he showed up, so he was naturally able to deal with it easily.
"I did not enter the mine, but observing from the edge of the mine, I can feel that there are almost no survivors inside. The only ones who can escape and carry it are basically us."
Brother Xia was not suspicious and nodded slowly: "You do have your heart in mind. No wonder you didn't show up immediately when we sent out the summons signal just now. By the way, what's your name?"
Jiang Yue said: "You can just call me Xiao Zhang."
Brother Xia had an idea and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Xiao Zhang, you immediately thought of your teammates and wanted to check on them. It shows that you have a good conscience and a sense of responsibility."
Jiang Yue scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this what it should be? I also want to find the team and find acquaintances. If the team is gone, life will be difficult in the future."
These words speak to everyone's heart.
Without the original team, they would inevitably be lonely ghosts.
Brother Xia's thoughts were not here, but said: "Xiao Zhang, I think you are not only a conscience, but also brave and resourceful. Now, although the few of us have survived, if we are to be strictly reckoned, are we considered deserters? This is what Master Wu said."
Before Jiang Yue responded, the others suddenly became a little noisy.
"Brother Xia, you can't say that. In that situation, we need to save ourselves and our lives. Is this instinctive? We can't be buried with everyone. That's what we call bravery, right? Only by keeping our lives alive can we continue to serve Lord Shuzu. Efficiency. The ball is dead, who will work for Master Shuzu? This kind of foolish loyalty is meaningless, right?"
"Yeah, if this is called deserting, let's just do it and break up as soon as possible."
"Brother Xia, we can't accept this kind of shit."
Brother Xia let out a long sigh: "I understand everyone's thoughts, but it's not a deserter. It really depends on what Mr. Wu thinks. It's just a matter of his thoughts."
Listening to the words, Jiang Yue knew that there must be something in the second-level agent's words.
Then he asked calmly: "Brother Xia, what exactly do you want to say?"
Brother Xia showed an appreciative smile and praised: "Xiao Zhang, please calm down, they just know how to make nonsense, and there is no city government at all."
When those people heard this, they were a little embarrassed and a little dissatisfied. However, due to the majesty of the secondary agents, they did not openly refute it.
"Xiao Zhang, it's like this. If we go up like this now, we will definitely be looked down upon. This big explosion was obviously concocted by the human invader. Hundreds of our brothers died, but the enemy's hair was not touched. To one. Do you think you are depressed or not?"
Jiang Yue nodded and agreed: "It's really frustrating. If I were Mr. Wu, I would be angry too."
"Yes, if we escape now, we will definitely be criticized by those people and laughed at. Even though they have done nothing and have not taken any risks, these guys will definitely not be polite when they add insult to injury."
The surviving agents were all silent and helpless.
Of course they knew that there was nothing wrong with what Brother Xia said.
There is competition among agents themselves. It's normal for them to dislike each other and even fight each other.
Competition between squads, and predatory competition between team members.
Resources are limited, and qualifications for higher positions are also limited. Although the agents nominally work for Master Shuzu, they are also in a competitive relationship with each other.
One more bite for you means one less bite for everyone else.
If you take more, it means others have to sacrifice more.
Who hasn’t preyed on other people’s mouths or stepped on others’ heads?
In this case, if they look disgraced, they will inevitably encounter cynicism and all kinds of insults.
Who cares if they are wronged? Is it a big sacrifice?
Everyone is dead, but a few of you are still alive. This is original sin!
"Brother Xia, what should we do? Are we just going to accept our fate?" Someone said unconvinced.
"I don't accept it. If anyone makes sarcastic remarks, why don't they come down? It doesn't make sense that we are working hard and they are laughing."
Brother Xia said coldly: "Don't yell, yelling is useless. Listen to me."
Everyone finally restrained their anger and looked at Brother Xia, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Xiao Zhang, do you understand what I mean?" Brother Xia looked at Jiang Yue implicitly, with a tentative tone.
"Brother Xia, why don't you just tell us? We are all on the same boat now. Whatever you say, we will follow."
Jiang Yue's attitude made Brother Xia very satisfied. He nodded and praised: "Okay, Xiao Zhang, I read you right. It's like this..."
Brother Xia immediately explained his thoughts in detail. After everyone else heard this, they all looked at Jiang Yue meaningfully.
It turned out that Brother Xia had praised "Xiao Zhang", saying that he was brave, resourceful and capable, and wanted him to return to the mine to investigate the situation.
If everything is normal in the mine, they can return to the mine to see what's going on. If the remains of the human invader could be found and brought to the ground, then not only would they not be slandered, but they would be transformed into great heroes.
As for those who died, hundreds of brothers died, that is the price that must be paid for fighting.
As long as the mission is completed, doesn't death mean death? who cares?
It should be taken care of by a big shot like Mr. Wu.
The best thing is that Brother Xia’s arrangement is to let Xiao Zhang go to Lei first. Others don't have to do anything.
With the mentality that the dead Taoist friends will not die the poor Taoists, the other surviving agents will naturally not object.
With Xiao Zhang taking the lead, if there was any trouble, Xiao Zhang would be the first to respond. Even if there is an accident, they will not die.
If the risk is eliminated and the human survivor's body is even found, the credit will definitely belong to everyone.
As expected of Brother Xia, this plan is very good. Received unanimous support from everyone.
"I support Brother Xia. This plan is great. And Xiao Zhang is young, smart, and strong. His investigative capabilities are the strongest here. He has to be the one."
"Xiao Zhang, all the brothers support you. If I really want to gain something, you are the first to do it."
"Indeed, Brother Xia is right. If we go up there in such a dejected manner, we will definitely be labeled as deserters."
This time, no one was chattering about how important it was to save their lives.
How could Jiang Yue not see what these people were thinking? He was secretly amused.
But the play that needs to be played still needs to be played.
Jiang Yue looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xia, you know that there was a violent explosion in the mine. The dust and smoke inside are highly toxic, and high temperature is also a big problem. Besides, I can't guarantee whether there will be another explosion..."
"Xiao Zhang, I know this is indeed a bit difficult. But except for you, I'm afraid no one else can do it."
"So, each of us owes you a favor and gives you a piece of equipment?"
Jiang Yue thought for a while and shook his hand: "I don't want equipment or favors. I can really make a contribution this time, and I also want to be the team leader. Can you guys support me?"
Brother Xia said: "You don't have to worry about this. I don't know how many team leaders were killed in this explosion. There are many vacancies for team leaders. I guarantee that as long as we make meritorious service, it will be difficult for you to not be the team leader."
"Yes, it depends on you, Xiao Zhang, whether you go up as a deserter or as a hero."
"Yes, Xiao Zhang, we will definitely promote you to the leadership position!"
Jiang Yue reluctantly nodded: "Okay, then I'll take the risk. You guys wait here for my news."
Jiang Yue appeared here with the original intention of catching all these people.
But there were six people on the other side, and they were all earth attribute awakeners.
Deep underground, Jiang Yue didn't have much confidence that he could catch them all.
After all, these guys were able to survive the big explosion just now. Whether it is survival ability, personal strength, or vigilance, they are all superior to ordinary awakened people.
In this case, if you act rashly, you may miss something.
Once the fish that slipped through the net are allowed to slip to the ground and meet Master Wu, there are still many main teams above, and they can definitely make a comeback.
Therefore, Jiang Yuesi thought about it and decided to stabilize this group of people.
That's why he showed up.
Once these people return to the ground, the situation will inevitably be different.
First, it must be ensured that these surviving agents cannot return to the surface.
"Xiao Zhang, be careful."
"If the mine is safe, remember to notify us in time."
"Success or failure is up to you, brother!"
At the urging of the group, Jiang Yue left again and returned to the mine with the "mission".
Jiang Yue knew what this group of people was thinking, and felt much more at ease. At least this group of people is stable for the time being and will not be in a hurry to return to the ground.
The next step, then, is to lure them back to the mine.
Only in an environment like a mine and getting them out of the environment deep underground can we catch them all in one fell swoop.
Soon, Jiang Yue returned to the edge area connected to the mine.
With his borrowing skills, he could clearly capture that the human intruder was still lurking in the mine.
Like a very patient carnivorous beast.
Jiang Yue's borrowing skills can easily avoid the opponent and determine the positions of both parties.
In this way, Jiang Yue didn't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy as soon as he entered the mine.
Of course, you need to pay attention to how to contact the other party, how to gain the other party's trust, even find out the other party's identity, and how to show off your cards in the end.
If you show up rashly, you are likely to have a falling out without even saying a few words, and you will not be able to gain the trust of the other party, and everything will be empty talk.
Without trust, fights are bound to occur.
Once a fight breaks out, other survivors will inevitably be attracted, and the situation may get out of control at any time.
Therefore, after entering the mine, every step is also very important.
When Jiang Yue approached the opponent's area of 200 to 300 meters, the opponent had obviously sensed it and acted smartly.
Without the Borrowing Sight skill, even Jiang Yue might not be able to easily capture the opponent's movement direction and stealth speed.
The moment the opponent approached, Jiang Yue inadvertently swung the sword in his hand, but it perfectly blocked the opponent's fatal throat-cutting blow.
Then Jiang Yue slashed at the opponent with his backhand.
The opponent actually refused to dodge and let Jiang Yue slash him with his sword.
Although Jiang Yue had no intention of harming the other party, he was still confused by the other party's entrusting behavior.
However, when the sword approached the opponent, it was blocked by an invisible air flow and rebounded slightly.
The other party also took the opportunity to slash Jiang Yue's neck with another knife.
Jiang Yue's cloud shield talisman and armoring skills also generated defense at the same time, and he was able to withstand the sword.
The cloud shield talisman stirred up waves of cloud patterns, and what was even more incredible was that similar waves of cloud patterns also appeared around the person opposite.
Huh?
Jiang Yue and the other party were both surprised, and both stopped their movements.
The other party stared at Jiang Yue coldly and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you? Why is there a Cloud Shield Talisman?"
Jiang Yue naturally noticed that the opponent actually used the Cloud Shield Talisman, and it seemed to be at a higher level. Coupled with the other party's various methods before, Jiang Yue also became suspicious.
