He didn't sleep peacefully that night, and Qin Jue, who finally fell asleep at dawn, had nightmares again and again.
Lei Shao's solemn expression always appeared in Qin Jue's dreams. It seemed like a long time ago, when she was in confusion, Lei Shao grabbed her by the neck and held her down, unable to break free. His expression at that time was so cold, completely different from his usual gentle and domineering look. It was as if his expression overlapped with the one he had while chatting around the campfire last night.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt a splitting headache. This gave Qin Jue some bad premonitions about this mission.
When we got out of the tent, we saw that everyone had made arrangements. The tents were all put away in the car quickly, and the traces of the campfire were now buried. At first glance, except for a row of parked cars, there was no trace of the overnight stay.
From here, we will hike up the mountain. Qin Jue follows everyone and carries the hiking bag. In fact, she didn't have a lot of luggage this time. Apart from the necessary items, her equipment was only basic.
In the morning Lei Shao handed her a dagger. When I held it in my hand, I was still a little confused. I couldn't remember the last time I used a dagger. So he handed the dagger back and asked if he could exchange it for something else close to him.
Lei Shao looked down at her with twinkling eyes, then raised the corners of his mouth and asked: "What do you want?"
She pointed to the black leather bracelet on his arm that she had never seen before.
Lei Shao stared at her for a moment, then reached out to take it off, and tied it several times before tying it on her arm.
Wearing it on his hand, Qin Jue discovered that there was a thunder and lightning symbol on the interface of the leather bracelet. It was so long that he didn't know if it was originally a modified necklace. Qin Jue touched the bracelet in her clothes, as if she could still feel the warmth of Lei Shao's body, and she felt an uncontrollable sweetness in her heart.
Climbing all the way behind the team, the eleven people in the group barely talked to each other except for the sound of breathing. Everyone was busy on their way, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Chen Gang raised his fist in the air. The team stopped in response, and he pointed to the side with two fingers. The team of eleven people adjusted their direction in a tacit understanding and followed closely behind.
Qin Jue raised his head and looked not far ahead. Behind the rocks, there is a vehicle gate and a guard box. Although the front of the door is blocked by messy rocks, this should indeed have been the gate of the military region.
I don't know if it was my imagination, but I just felt that everyone's footsteps were softer, and I had to follow them cautiously.
When we walked up from the path, it was getting late, and the military area was actually brightly lit at dusk.
There are people here, and quite a few of them.
Qin Jue looked at Lei Shao in astonishment, he had obviously known about it for a long time. Then he turned to look at the others. No one seemed surprised except himself.
She silently pinched the bracelet on her arm, and thinking of Lei Shao's gentleness when he put it on her in the morning, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth again.
Looking up to the heights, Lei Shao was among the crowd, so far away from him, somewhat unreachable.
Just when she was worrying about gains and losses, Lei Shao suddenly turned around and saw her. His solemn expression turned soft in an instant, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
The brief exchange of eyes was too fast to be true. He turned his eyes and continued to discuss something with the people around him.
But this slight warmth did not make Qin Jue let go of her nervousness. Unable to explain, she only felt more and more uneasy.
The eleven-person team was led by Gong Ren, and the others quickly walked through the mountains and forests and arrived in front of a small bungalow in the back mountain.
This small bungalow is used to store discarded equipment and is rarely visited by people. Chen Gang said that there was an emergency escape exit underground in the small bungalow, which was a secret location of the military region. The specific details of how to open the secret passage and where to go depend on the hand-drawn map provided by Chen Gang.
It was already dark at this time, and there were insects and birds chirping from time to time in the forest. The big disc moon illuminated the entire military area. It would be difficult to hide all the eleven figures on the plains, so they could only act separately.
Lei Shao took Da Ge, Lin Yan and Chen Gang and ran in first. The others dispersed and hid in the shadows of the forest until they heard Chen Gang's birdsong. As a former service member of Special Warfare, he knows many different bird songs.
After hearing the signal, Chen Xiao led his team in.
Yu Long, Han Shu and Qin Jue were left. Two of the four of them were healers. After thinking about it, Qin Jue quietly pulled Yu Long and said in an angry voice: "They have been in for a while, Brother Lei and the others." One less healer, would you like Long Jie to follow?"
Yu Long was also worried about this, nodded, and ran in cautiously.
After a while, the surroundings became unusually quiet, and the chirping of insects and birds seemed to have disappeared. Only the night wind blew, making a slight rustling sound when the branches were blown.
Qin Jue felt something was wrong, turned sideways and mouthed to Han Shu, "They have been in there for too long."
Han Shu also nodded in agreement, but without Lei Shao's signal, he would not act rashly. He softly comforted: "Don't be impatient."
Suddenly there was a huge whistling sound in the air. Qin Jue looked up and couldn't help but screamed in shock.
This is a huge bird! No, it’s a mutated zombie with huge wings!
A huge black shadow covered the moon. He stood on the tree shadow in mid-air, looking down at Qin Jue and Han Shu who thought they were hiding. He must have been watching around here for a long time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to fly, they would not have noticed it!
Han Shu immediately stood up, opened his arms with all his strength, and released two vines as thick as arms, which quickly wrapped around him.
The mutated zombie on the tree chirped lightly, fluttered away the vines with one wing, and swooped down towards Qin Jue. The branches along the way were broken by his huge wings, and a burst of crackling dead branches fell to the ground.
Qin Jue raised her hand to block the flying branches. When she saw a face approaching quickly and huge flapping wings, she couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
The man opened his arms and hugged Qin Jue, flying straight into the sky!
Qin Jue was frightened. During the rapid rise, the air pressure was on top of her head, and the wind blew so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. Involuntarily she grasped the other man's shoulders and arms.
"I'll take you to meet your lover soon~"
A joking voice sounded above his head, and Qin Jue could feel the vibration of his wings on his back because he was so close.
"Lover?" Could it be that Lei Shao was caught by them? What exactly is going on?
"Hahaha, you guys here are quite troublesome this time. This is a rare head-to-head confrontation. I'm looking forward to it!" After saying that, he grabbed her waist with one hand and carried her straight down to a building. platform.
Before he even touched the ground, the man let go and Qin Jue almost fell to the ground.
Qin Jue quickly stabilized his center of gravity and felt his feet on the ground again, and Qin Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
When the man walked past her, he patted her back hard twice and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, with such a small body, I don't know what I see in you."
When Qin Jue straightened up, he could only see the man's tall and thin back, wearing a black and gray woolen coat, leather gloves on his hands, and a pair of shiny leather boots. With his bare back, he looked like a respectable young man. If it weren't for the two huge rips on the back of his woolen coat, he would have looked really weird.
"Your wings...?"
The man was too lazy to reply. He just turned his face sideways and pointed in front, "Miss Qin, please come this way!" His expression was cynical, and the impatience in his eyes was barely concealed.
Qin Jue kept at least three arms' distance from him and followed behind.
Go downstairs from the rooftop and enter a huge vacant room. There are many people of different heights standing in various corners of the room, but they are all under the scattered shadows and their faces cannot be seen clearly.
This room seems to be used for holding conferences or giving speeches. It is a circular multi-functional hall. It's spacious, spacious, and has many windows.
There is a row of sofas in the middle of the room, and a man is sitting on it, crossing his legs in boredom.
It wasn't until Qin Jue stepped into the room that he sat up straight and stared at her.
Who is this person if he isn't Meng Yan?
"Is it you?" Qin Jue exclaimed.
His handsome eyebrows arched in a smile: "Rare visitor, beauty!"
Meng Yan stood up, walked over step by step, and stood in front of Qin Jue.
He is shorter than Lei Shao, but still a head taller than Qin Jue. The pressure of being watched closely by him and slowly walking in front of me was still very strong.
Qin Jue couldn't help but take half a step back.
Meng Yan looked Qin Jue up and down a few times. As if that wasn't enough, he circled around her leisurely.
"The beauty seems to have... advanced?"
