All kinds of thoughts came to her mind instantly. Lin Qingqing calmly looked around while comforting Wen Ling.
Everyone was still struggling to resist the tide of corpses, and they didn't seem to notice the changes behind them.
To say, or not to say?
Battles depend on the right time, location, and harmony. In siege warfare, "timing" is the most critical, but in defensive battles, "humanity" is a more important factor than "geography" and "timing."
Once this news is conveyed, they will not only lose this battle. If Nanling City cannot hold on and let this wave of corpses pass, even Dongyue City not far away may have to suffer a heavier blow. of blow.
But if you don't tell them, what if the engineering team encounters danger?
Lin Qingqing was at war between heaven and man in her heart. She thought about the consequences of telling or not telling several times, but she still didn't come to a conclusion.
This matter was so important that she didn't know whether the decision she made was right or wrong.
"Captain?" Seeing that Lin Qingqing didn't speak for a long time, Wen Ling shook her arm uneasily.
"Xiao Lingdang, you go find Xingchi now and ask him to take Lao Cheng to the rear to check the situation immediately. Tell them to be careful and not to be discovered!"
"I know, captain!" After receiving the instruction, Wen Ling quietly slipped out from behind.
As the temporary commander, Lin Qingqing could never leave, so she could only ask the thoughtful Cheng Xiaohe to go to the rear to check the situation and see what was going on.
The little girl's departure did not attract the attention of others, and Cheng Xiaohe was surprised for a long time after receiving this task. However, he had a strong psychological quality and did not show any strange expression.
Soon, the two found an opportunity and quietly left the battlefield ahead.
"Old Cheng, what mission did the captain tell you? You can tell me now, right?"
Qu Xingchi was confused when he was pulled out by Cheng Xiaohe. When he found that both of them had walked so far without seeing any movement from him, he suddenly became anxious.
"You didn't notice anything wrong?" Cheng Xiaohe pushed up his glasses, looked around, and said to him again.
"What's wrong?" Qu Xingchi didn't know why.
There is nothing but the sound of machines running around here. The engineering team is here...
"Hey? Where is the engineering team? Where are the people from the engineering team?"
At this time, Qu Xingchi finally realized that something was wrong. Tens of thousands of engineering team members who built Nanling City's fortifications were missing!
"Keep your voice down, this is what the captain asked us to investigate quietly!"
Afraid that Qu Xingchi would make a fuss and leak the news after learning about it, Wen Ling was the first to find Cheng Xiaohe, and Cheng Xiaohe thought the same as her and pulled him out first before telling him the reason.
Realizing that this matter was of great importance, Qu Xingchi quickly closed his mouth and nodded.
The two groped around the construction site and found that everything was still in order, the lights were on, and the machines were turning, but there was no one there.
"It's strange, where have all these people gone? How come they just disappeared out of thin air?" Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Qu Xingchi couldn't help but shudder.
"Lao Cheng, you think we must have encountered something ghostly!"
"What a ghost! Is there anything in this world that is more like a ghost than a zombie?"
"Are you saying this might have been done by zombies?" Qu Xingchi became even more horrified when he heard this.
"When did I say this?" Cheng Xiaohe couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He really didn't know why the captain sent this guy here. Is it because he ran fast when he was in danger?
"I don't think it's possible either. If zombies really had this ability, then humanity would have been doomed long ago." Qu Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Hey, Lao Cheng, if you said this wasn't done by zombies, then where could so many of them go? They couldn't just leave on their own, right?"
"You said it's really possible."
Cheng Xiaohe bent down and took a closer look at the traces on the ground. Although the trampling was very messy, there were still many traces from the direction of the footprints.
It can be seen that these workers should have left in groups.
They even took away their tools.
Looking around, the large machines and equipment were still there, but small tools such as shovels, saws, spatulas, and buckets were all gone.
"It's really true!"
Qu Xingchi used his powers to quickly search around, and sure enough, he didn't see a single thing he had with him.
"Where did they go? Why didn't they even say hello when they left?" After discovering this fact, Qu Xingchi became even more confused.
"Perhaps this is their purpose."
Recalling Lin Qingqing's instructions just now, Cheng Xiaohe said thoughtfully.
"The engineering team has other tasks, and their operations need to be covered by the battle ahead!"
"Pah pah pah——"
"That's right, let me tell you, there must be a lot of smart people out there, but you don't want to worry about it and insist on staying and watching."
At this time, two people came out from the shadows. The leader was a young man with a short haircut and a tall and strong posture. He was the one who was clapping and praising them just now.
"Instructor Han? Instructor Ye? Why are you here?"
Qu Xingchi recognized these two people at a glance. They were Han Xiao and Ye Lanshan who were responsible for issuing tasks to them during the first training.
"You are from Qingmang Team," Ye Lanshan also came over at this time and stood with Han Xiao. Seeing them, the information about the two people automatically popped into his mind.
Cheng Xiaohe, 31 years old, a member of the Qingmang Team, a late-level fifth-level wood superpower with a calm and calm personality. In the past, I only knew that he was good at control and various poisons, but I didn't expect that his ability to analyze intelligence was so strong.
Qu Xingchi, 21 years old, is a member of Qingmang Team. He is a mid-level fifth-level speed user and investigator. He uses a pair of double swords and is good at driving vehicles. Before the end of the world, he was a well-known racing driver in Rongcheng. .
"Yeah," Cheng Xiaohe nodded when he heard this.
"This brother's analysis is good," Han Xiao glanced at Cheng Xiaohe approvingly.
"How did you find out there was a problem here?" Although he did not give a positive explanation, he confirmed Cheng Xiaohe's analysis.
"The captain discovered something was wrong, so he asked us to come quietly to investigate."
To be honest, although he had guessed the whereabouts of the engineering team, Cheng Xiaohe was still unsure. It was not until he saw the instructor that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Lin, how did she find out?" Ye Lanshan seemed a little surprised. It would be normal to say that the perceptual superpower named Wen Ling discovered the problem, but Lin Qingqing, he remembered that she should be commanding from the front line at the moment. Just fight.
Cheng Xiaohe and Qu Xingchi looked at each other when they heard this, and then shook their heads. They didn't know how Lin Qingqing found out.
"Go back and tell Captain Lin to continue fighting! Since Nanling City has been defeated, there is no reason to let them go back." Seeing that they were unclear, Ye Lanshan did not ask any more questions.
Continue fighting? Cheng Xiaohe immediately understood after hearing this. It seemed that the engineering department had indeed gone to perform other tasks.
"Don't worry, Instructor Ye, I will tell the captain truthfully."
Knowing the cause of the matter, the two quickly returned to the front line. Since the instructor asked them to continue fighting, it means that it is better to keep this matter a secret from everyone.
After the two left, Han Xiao poked the boy next to him and said, "You have good taste. This Captain Lin is really extraordinary."
"The old man said that, not me," Ye Lanshan flicked his sleeves.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's prophecy, he wouldn't have paid special attention to the Qingmang team before.
"Tch~ I put the blame on the old man again," that prophecy has long been out of date, and the previous news was clearly what he wanted to reveal to Lin Qingqing.
Han Xiao secretly cursed, and then he seemed to think of something, so he said, "By the way, the old man hasn't said anything recently?"
Ye Lanshan knew that he was referring to prophecy. Seeing that a war was about to happen, as a special power user who could predict the future, Mr. Zhang should
It's right to feel something.
"No," Ye Lanshan shook his head gently.
No, did you not predict it or didn’t say it? Han Xiao frowned and was about to ask again, when he heard Ye Lanshan continue: "Maybe it's not time yet."
The old man has always looked worried recently. Ye Lanshan knew that he must have had a premonition of something, but he hadn't waited for the right time, so he didn't say anything.
When Ye Lanshan said this, Han Xiao immediately understood what he meant.
Although the old man didn't speak, he didn't stop the military department from taking this action. Maybe they should have an optimistic attitude.
At this time, the battle ahead was still fierce. It seemed that the Qingmang team had done a good job in keeping secrets.
Ye Lanshan glanced at the time. The engineering team should have arrived at the destination by this time. Although the time was rushed, the plan went smoothly.
Cheng Xiaohe's reasoning was correct. The engineering team that was supposed to build fortifications in Nanling City did receive an emergency transfer order and left.
They didn't know that the second city where the military planned to build fortifications was not Nanling City, but Jingshan City in the north of Dongyue City.
Like Nanling City, Jingshan City is also a fourth-tier small city, and its distance from Dongyue City is as far as Nanling City. From a geographical point of view, Jingshan City is the second Nanling City.
When the engineering team arrived in Jingshan City, the zombies here had been lured away. Everyone started work immediately and quickly built a prototype of fortifications.
"Today's young people are really not simple!"
Looking at the defensive walls rising from the ground outside, Zhao Lijun, as the commander-in-chief, couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, according to the earliest plan, Jingshan City should be the third defense base expected by the military. I just didn't expect that after successfully capturing Dongyue City, the zombies on the opposite side reacted so fiercely. They actually sent a group of zombies early to target the team that went to Nanling City to attract zombies.
In this way, mankind's next plan is exposed in advance. So when they learned that Captain Tang Li of the White Tiger Legion not only escaped, but also successfully promoted to the sixth level, someone came up with a bold idea: taking advantage of the siege of the corpse tide, conquer Nanling City and Jingshan City Change the order of the city's defense. First arm Jingshan City, and then go back to build Nanling City.
