"Don't do the mandatory mission? Then what are you going to do?" Qu Xingchi was stunned when he heard this. The mandatory mission cannot be refused, so usually everyone invites the Qingmang team to complete the mandatory mission, but if it is other missions , if you can’t do it, wouldn’t it be enough to just replace it with another one?
"The thing is like this, our Xuanyuan team was originally a fifth-level team, and the captain and deputy captain are both fifth-level superpowers."
When it came to business, the joy on Qi Feng's face suddenly disappeared. His voice was low and he began to tell a very sad story sentence by sentence.
It happened more than a month ago. The Xuanyuan team received a mission to install detectors in two adjacent counties. The mission location was a bit far from the base, and they walked for two days before arriving.
The two towns are nearly 30 kilometers apart, but for some reason, when they were installing detectors in one of the towns, the corpses from the other county all ran over unknowingly. Under attack from both inside and outside, the entire Xuanyuan The team was completely blocked inside.
"In the end, in order to cover our departure, the captain stayed alone and lured away the zombies," Qi Fengnian's voice was unconsciously choked as he spoke.
Hearing this, Qu Xingchi had almost guessed the ending. Although the captain of the Xuanyuan team was a fifth-level superpower, after all, there were zombies in two entire counties, and after such a long time, they were probably already in danger. .
Qu Xingchi was just thinking about comforting this kind-hearted young man when he heard the other party continue:
"At that time, the captain led the corpse group to a nearby reservoir. The terrain there is vast and surrounded by mountains, and our captain is a wood-type superpower." After saying this, Qi Fengnian paused, and then said firmly Said: "So, we think the captain is very likely to be alive!"
"Do you want us to help you find the captain?" Qu Xingchi looked thoughtfully at this young man who looked about the same age as him.
According to what he said, as a fifth-level wood element user, the captain of the Xuanyuan team did have a chance of survival in that situation.
Qu Xingchi doesn't know about others, but he knows Cheng Xiaohe very well. If Old Cheng, who is also the fifth level, is thrown into a large mountain forest, as long as there are no level six zombies that are higher than him, let alone a group of zombies, it will be fine. Coupled with a group of mutated animals, he can also live in the mountains like a fish in water by himself.
Seeing that Qu Xingchi didn't speak, Qi Fengnian thought for a while and said quickly: "Brother Qu, don't worry, it doesn't matter whether you can find it in the end or not, and we also understand the rules. You can just accept a level five mission, and the mission will reward us with one." There will be no shortage of crystal nuclei.”
Everyone knows that there are many mutants and special powers in the Qingmang team, and as a sixth-level team, they are definitely not short of money, so in order to successfully ask for their help, everyone consciously changed the reward into a compliment. Those high-level crystal nuclei with supernatural attributes.
"Hey, the reward is easy to talk about. You first need to explain to me what is going on with those zombies."
Qu Xingchi thought about what the other party said carefully. Thirty kilometers is a long distance, and as a level five team, there were so many zombies approaching at that time. It was impossible for their investigators to detect nothing.
If Qi Fengnian wasn't lying, he felt that this matter must not be as simple as it seemed.
Thinking of what might happen, Qu Xingchi simply took him back to Qingmang Team's station and asked him to tell the story in detail.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this matter? He said that they didn't notice the arrival of the corpses in advance. Do you believe it?" After Qi Fengnian left, Qu Xingchi asked Wen Ling suspiciously.
As investigators, the two of them have the best say in this matter.
Wen Ling shook her head when she heard this. Of course she didn't believe it, but Qi Fengnian didn't seem to be lying.
"I think there must be something wrong with that batch of zombies," Wen Ling said with certainty.
So many unusual things have happened before, including newborn zombies, dual-system crystal nuclei with traces of artificial synthesis, and more than one "nursery"... Many events show that there must be someone or someone behind the zombies. The mysterious organization is engaged in a conspiracy, but I don’t know it
Is this incident related to the previous ones?
"How about we wait for Sister Minmin to come back," Qu Xingchi said worriedly. There was obviously something wrong with this matter. He didn't dare to take Wen Ling alone to take risks.
"Okay, let's just wait for two days," Wen Ling had no objection. If they were in danger, she and Qu Xingchi could save their lives, but they couldn't care about the others.
But it's different if Lei Min is here. Even if they are surrounded by corpses from two towns again, there is no need to be afraid.
Two days later, Lei Min came back from her mission. When she heard about this, she didn't think much about it and said she wanted to go with them.
So, under Qi Fengnian's surprised and surprised eyes, Lei Min took Wen Ling and Qu Xingchi and drove with the five members of the Xuanyuan team to the two small counties where they originally did the mission.
"Deputy Team Lei, this is it. That's the last detector we installed before."
When they arrived at their destination, Qi Fengnian pointed to an extremely hidden columnar instrument in the corner and said.
At this time, there were no zombies in the whole town. It seemed that they had all been lured out by the captain of the Xuanyuan team.
After confirming that there was no danger around him, Qu Xingchi jumped out of the car and came to the detector to check it carefully.
"The detector is broken. There is a gap near the sensor. It should have been destroyed by a metal-based power!"
He touched the neat cutout on the side of the detector and said affirmatively.
"I'm sure it was still fine when we installed it. Xiao Meng even debugged it after the installation," Qi Fengnian said in surprise.
"Well, maybe a zombie accidentally destroyed it," Qu Xingchi said casually.
"Not necessarily, it could also be done intentionally by humans or intelligent zombies!" Wen Ling pointed to the location of the detector and said: "This corner is well chosen. Unless someone can specifically release skills in this direction, otherwise It’s difficult to knock down the location of the detector without being aware of it.”
"Oh, by the way, look around to see if there are any traces caused by other metal powers."
Qu Xingchi reacted immediately after hearing this. He quickly turned around and then said in a deep voice: "No, none of the many messy marks around is similar to this incision."
The human traces were so obvious that everyone's mood suddenly sank. Especially the five members of the Xuanyuan team: If someone or a zombie is really behind the scenes, wouldn't the captain's chance of survival be even slimmer?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Qi Fengnian staring at the detector motionless, Qu Xingchi asked strangely.
At this time, the young man's face was pale, his eyes were red, and his clenched fists were shaking violently, as if he was desperately suppressing something.
The other four members of the Xuanyuan team also showed the same expression as Qi Fengnian after being stunned for a moment.
"Impossible, this is impossible, how could Deputy Zhang do such a thing..."
A girl covered her mouth and said with disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Lei Min and the other three immediately realized that the things here were really not simple.
It turned out that after Wen Ling reminded everyone, they suddenly realized that their vice-captain was actually a metal superpower, and the traces caused by his skills were almost exactly the same as those on this detector.
"By the way, where is your deputy captain? Why didn't he come with you?" Hearing the girl mention Deputy Captain Zhang, Lei Min instantly realized something was wrong. There were seventeen people in Xuanyuan Team, and only the captain died in the last mission. For so long, the team members have been trying to find a way to find the captain. What about the vice-captain?
"He, he said half a month ago that he was going to find the captain, so he left alone!" the girl said, trembling her lips.
"It is because of the deputy captain's words that we have always believed that the captain is still alive," Qi Fengnian said slowly at this time.
"Why? You didn't stop him if he wanted to go alone?" Wen Ling didn't understand very much. The behavior of this deputy captain was abnormal at first glance. How could anyone go out alone to find someone after returning to the base?
"Because our captain and vice-captain are related
The system is unusual. "
"How unusual is that?"
"They are a couple..." The girl pursed her lips and said in a dry voice.
This... makes sense. His lover's life or death is uncertain, and when he is emotionally excited, it is reasonable to go his own way to find someone.
Seeing that Wen Ling still wanted to ask, Qu Xingchi quickly pulled her arm.
Wen Ling was very puzzled. What happened to the couple? Lovers cheat on each other so much, so it’s no surprise.
"It's not yet certain whether this matter has anything to do with Deputy Zhang. Let's go find the captain first!" At this time, another male member of the Xuanyuan team stood up and said. Z.br>
"Yes, that's right, let's find the captain first," Qi Fengnian also came back to his senses and said, "Vice Captain Lei, please excuse me."
"Okay, there are no clues here. Let's go to Qinghe Reservoir and have a look," Lei Min nodded.
Wen Ling had checked before and found that there were only some low-level zombies wandering around in the entire county. If they wanted to find someone, they had to first trace the zombies.
Next, the group headed towards the reservoir.
Qinghe Reservoir was only ten kilometers away from here. They had just traveled halfway when they found traces of a large number of zombies.
"It seems that Captain Yuan did lead the zombies here before," Wen Ling pointed to the front and said, "There are at least more than half a million zombies in this area."
The captain of the Xuanyuan team, whose surname is Yuan Lei, is a mid-level fifth-level wood element user. Like Lin Qingqing, she is best at defense and control.
If the previous incident was just an accident, then there is a great possibility that she is still alive, but if there is really some conspiracy behind this incident, it is really hard to say.
