During this sleep, Qu Xingchi slept from early morning to afternoon.
"Where is this?" Opening his eyes again, Qu Xingchi found that the sky outside had darkened again.
After a while, his groggy brain realized that he had returned to the base.
Thinking of Wen Ling, Qu Xingchi hurriedly put on his clothes and went downstairs.
"Where's the little bell? How's the little bell?"
"She's still sleeping, but the fever is gone."
His teammates were injured, so no one went out today. Lin Qingqing personally guarded Wen Ling for a day. Fortunately, the little girl's physical condition improved a lot after her level increased. She only had a fever for half a day, and her temperature went down.
"You should eat something first." Liu Dan used his power to sweep the area and found that his injury had almost healed.
"I don't want to eat," Qu Xingchi waved his hand.
Seeing that his face was really ugly, Liu Dan stood up and poured him a glass of sugar water.
"Here, drink a glass of water."
"Thanks!"
Qu Xingchi took the cup and took a sip. The sweet taste immediately made him feel like he was finally alive.
"What's going on? What happened to you?"
Lin Qingqing frowned. When she saw them early this morning, she found that the two of them had successfully entered the sixth level.
A sixth-level speed user and a sixth-level perception user. Even if the two of them combined couldn't defeat each other, they should be able to run away. How could they be so seriously injured?
"We are being hunted." Qu Xingchi gritted his teeth and said.
"Who is it? Who dares to chase you?" Upon hearing this, Lei Min slapped the table and stood up.
Although the others didn't speak, their expressions suggested the same thing.
Who can hunt them down? Who dares to hunt them down?
Although their Qingmang team is low-key, they are not the type to be easily bullied at first glance, unless they are specifically seeking revenge.
But when it comes to seeking revenge, their Qingmang team has been at the Ancheng base for almost two years. During this time, they have not made any serious enemies with anyone, and they have even helped many people.
"I don't know, I've never met those people," Qu Xingchi shook his head in confusion.
"Is he a killer?"
"I don't think...it's not like that," Qu Xingchi shook his head again. Although those people wanted to kill them, they were not killers at all. Otherwise, he and Xiao Lingdang would not come back.
It's not a killer, and it's someone I don't know, so it shouldn't be revenge.
"Did you have a conflict of interest with the other party during the mission?" Cheng Xiaohe asked thoughtfully.
This is possible, after all, it is common to snatch resources in the apocalypse, and it is not uncommon for many unreasonable people to snatch mission areas.
"Profits?" Qu Xingchi frowned again, "Xiao Lingdang and I were tasked with exploring the city, and we didn't even kill a single zombie. How can there be any conflict of interest?"
What he said makes sense. A mission base will not be sent to two teams at the same time. If it is just to investigate information, there is indeed no benefit to be involved.
"Could it be that you accidentally discovered something during the intelligence investigation?" Lin Qingqing thought of a possibility.
"Captain, you mean we accidentally broke someone else's secret?" Qu Xingchi responded quickly.
Saying this opened everyone's minds. It was very possible to kill people and silence them because they were caught doing bad things.
"Think about it carefully. Did you see any special people or things during the mission?"
"We received a total of three missions, which were to explore three cities." Qu Xingchi roughly recalled everything that happened in the fifteen days, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
"We met several teams during this period," Qu Xingchi recalled carefully this time as it related to Xiao Lingdang's safety.
He began to recall the moment the two of them left the base. During the fifteen days, in addition to the base gate where people came and went, they encountered a total of seven people during the mission.
Most of the teams passed by each other on the way, or occasionally walked together for a short distance.
Only two teams greeted each other, but that was it.
What's more, none of the seven teams are chasing them.
"I don't know, I really don't know what we hit," Qu Xingchi said with a ferocious expression. This was simply an unforeseen disaster.
"If you don't know, then you might have to ask Xiao Lingdang." If any secret was revealed, it was most likely that Wen Ling accidentally discovered it during the investigation.
Cheng Xiaohe has roughly figured out the key to the matter: "Assuming that things are really as the captain guessed, Xiao Lingdang is a person with sensory abilities. Although this ability is silent, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not have more advanced counter-reconnaissance methods. , people are especially cautious when doing bad things, maybe because they accidentally noticed her existence and thought she knew something, so they killed you." Z.br>
Cheng Xiaohe's analysis made sense, and everyone fell silent.
"Who are the people who are chasing you?" Lin Qingqing continued to ask. Regardless of whether it was Wen Ling's fault or not, she would never let go of those who chased them.
"They are all superpowers. There are seventeen of them in total. The highest level is mid-sixth level, and the lowest level is fourth level."
Qu Xingchi carefully recounted the whole process of the two being chased. At that time, Wen Ling had just entered the sixth level, and he was still at the peak of the fifth level. The two of them planned to find a place to help him advance after completing the last task. At that time, the group of people appeared.
"You were only at level five at that time?" Lei Min was surprised.
"Well, if I were at level six at that time, they wouldn't be able to catch up with us."
Qu Xingchi said and couldn't help biting his lip: "It's all my fault. I was the one holding back."
"It's not all your fault," Lei Min sighed silently. Sometimes things just happen by chance. They are not prophets. They cannot know what will happen in the future and prepare in advance.
"With so many people chasing you, how did you come back? When did you advance?" Cheng Xiaohe couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It was Xiao Lingdang. She saw each other in advance, so we kept hiding in the city, but they always seemed to find us. There was no way. In the end, we had no choice but to hide in the mountains, and I was promoted at that time. "
Needless to say, during Qu Xingchi's promotion process, Wen Ling must have been dealing with a group of enemies alone. It's no wonder that her powers were so consumed, and it was probably at that time that Qu Xingchi was poisoned by snake venom.
Later, Qu Xingchi successfully advanced to the sixth level, and then he led Wen Ling to kill four people, and finally broke out of the siege and returned to the base before dawn.
It seems that the remaining answers can only be learned after Wen Ling wakes up.
Lin Qingqing asked Qu Xingchi to have a good rest, then turned and went upstairs to see Wen Ling.
As the team's think tank, after Lin Qingqing left, Cheng Xiaohe took Qu Xingchi and began to summarize the characteristics of the pursuers, and then collected information to investigate the details of the other party.
After several days of investigation, Cheng Xiaohe found the identities of the remaining thirteen pursuers. But what is strange is that these people do not all belong to the same team, and many of them even do not seem to know each other at all. There is no intersection in daily life.
——This is interesting. It seems that the captain guessed right. In addition to their superficial identities, this group of people must also belong to a secret organization behind the scenes.
It's hard to say what this organization does, but from the way they spared no effort to hunt down Wen Ling and the two of them, it can be seen that this is definitely not a good group.
Although Wen Ling's fever had gone down, she was still groggy. She slept for three days and didn't wake up completely until the afternoon of the third day.
As soon as she opened her eyes and "saw" Lin Qingqing sitting next to her, most of the fear and fear in Wen Ling's heart immediately dissipated.
"Captain~ Wuwu~ I thought I couldn't come back."
She stood up and hugged Lin Qingqing, her voice carrying the thick nasal sound she had when she just woke up.
Lin Qingqing was stunned by her actions. Seeing the little girl's aggrieved look, she felt a little soft-hearted.
Raising her hand and patting the little girl's back gently, Lin Qingqing said softly: "No, our little bell is so powerful, she will definitely come back!"
"But we are still late," Wen Ling's voice was a little wilted.
"Why are you late? Xingchi said you have already advanced."
When Qu Xingchi was mentioned, Wen Ling suddenly remembered something. She raised her head and asked with worry: "What about him? Is he okay? Is he seriously injured?"
During the second half of her escape, she remained in a coma and did not know what happened next.
"Xingchi is fine. He just suffered a lot of trauma, three fractures, and was poisoned by snake venom."
Lin Qingqing did not hide anything and truthfully described the situation to Wen Ling when the two came back.
"Huh? Is it that serious?"
"Don't worry, Liu Dan is here, and the poison has been detoxified by Lao Cheng. He is fine now. He just lost too much blood and will recover after a while."
"That's good," Wen Ling finally felt relieved after hearing what Lin Qingqing said.
After Wen Ling woke up, everyone knew the whole story.
The two of them took on a total of three missions to explore the city. After completing the second mission, Wen Ling successfully promoted to the sixth level. Because Qu Xingchi was still a little behind, the two planned to do the third one first. Task.
However, just at the edge of the city that needed to be explored, Wen Ling discovered traces of a group of people.
At first, she thought that the other party was also here for a mission, so she didn't care. In order to avoid the misunderstanding of "robbing monsters", she even avoided a group of people.
"So, you actually don't know what they are doing?" Lei Min opened his mouth in surprise.
"Well, I only know that they may be discussing something." Wen Ling was also confused. Her powers could only sense the existence of those people, and she might be able to roughly guess what they were doing based on their behavior, but she couldn't. Learn the content of their conversation.
"Are you sure that each of these people are human beings?" Lin Qingqing suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
Wen Ling nodded vigorously. She was still very sure about this. For movable humanoid objects, it was her instinct to immediately tell whether they were zombies or humans. This subconscious behavior had already become her instinct.
"A group of people have nothing to do but stay in an abandoned city full of zombies to discuss things. What good things can they plot?" Qu Xingchi said with a cold snort.
Others had the same idea. Normal people would never chase down two strangers for no reason. This was obviously a sign of guilty conscience.
