Chapter 19 Wind Riding Team 2
Qi An and his group braved the wind and rain, traversed half of the chaotic base, killing insects along the way, but did not linger, focusing primarily on clearing out and breaking through.
They still killed more than 60 or 70 insects before meeting up with Jiang Mo at the north end of a small commercial street near Dongying.
This demonstrates the extent of the pollution within the base!
However, as time went by, the pollution only intensified, and the trend of mutation became increasingly uncontrollable. Therefore, after the team members reunited with their former superior, they didn't even have much time to discuss strategies.
"It's not about quantity, but quality. There are only 6 people, plus you, the team leader."
Comrades from Qingyan Team 2, please provide support from the outside.
We entered the camp from the north gate and took this route, which had concealed spots and was relatively short in a straight line, to the administration building.
"Once we get to the administration building, we'll split into two groups. You, Xiao Qi, and Chen Xi will go to the underground bunker, and I'll take the rest of the people to check the surveillance footage," Yu Shuang said quickly.
Her arrangements were swift and efficient, and everyone else deserved to be as efficient and efficient as she was.
Jiang Mo didn't even have a chance to interject.
The members of the special operations team that came in response to his orders—Qingyan Team 2—looked at each other, hesitant to speak.
They hesitated to speak about Shuang's orders to Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo had already mentally prepared himself for this when he received help before, but he was extremely skeptical of the "split into two groups" arrangement.
"I don't recommend splitting up the troops; two guards are too few!" he said.
"You think having Sister Qi and Brother Xi as bodyguards isn't enough? Do you want to fly to the moon?" Zhuang Xiao rolled her eyes, her voice neither too loud nor too soft.
The members of Qingyan Team 2 were even more flustered, exchanging glances and accusations despite the heavy rain.
As expected, it's Team Riding the Wind 2...
Jiang Mo pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chen Xi and the rest of the team quickly checked the equipment left behind by Gu Liansheng and his group, and their actions of getting ready and disguising themselves were skillful and efficient.
"Let's go!" Yu Shuang gave the order when she saw that Qi An was ready.
The formation automatically took shape, with Yu Shuang and Zhao Bohan in front, Chen Xi at the rear, Qi An and Su Qingran on either side of Jiang Mo, and Zhuang Xiao in a roaming position slightly behind Qi An.
Jiang Mo was exposed to the wind and rain, yet felt as if she were trapped in a sturdy fortress.
A bolt of lightning cleaved the dark sky, followed by a violent rumble of thunder. The members of Qingyan Team 2 couldn't help but shudder, but the team had already moved once they formed their ranks.
No one paused for a moment, and the formation remained perfectly intact!
This is Team Riding the Wind 2.
Jiang Mo suppressed his doubts and turned east with his team from the commercial street. He heard Qi An speaking very quickly and with great precision as he reported numbers.
Then, seeing the main assault force, Yu Shuang and Zhuang Xiao, based on the count, even in such low visibility, they still made advance predictions and, with a little visual positioning, shot one insect at a time!
Zhao Bohan and Su Qingran were assisting with side-firing. They didn't need to be very accurate; they just needed to hit the fallen insects, slow them down, and prevent them from getting close to the squad.
No one spoke; the squad marched two kilometers quickly and steadily.
As they rounded the perimeter of a residential building that was part of the Dongying family compound and where Jiang Mo also lived, Jiang Mo even saw the young man named Chen Xi kill an apprentice priest with a single strike!
Qi An did not attempt to purify Chen Xi. The team's formation was only dispersed for a moment before they immediately regrouped once Chen Xi sheathed his sword.
This even deterred a group of insects at the entrance of the community, making them hesitate as they rushed towards them!
Jiang Mo shut up completely.
They quickly passed the perimeter of a residential building that could be considered a Dongying family compound and arrived at the north gate of Dongying.
With no buildings obstructing the view, Yu Shuang made a "pause" tactical gesture and glanced south with her binoculars.
You can spot the Ash Priest at a glance.
It sat on the roof of the administration building, swinging its legs and humming a song.
According to Qi An's perception, an average of 30-50 more insects would appear in Dongying every minute.
All the newly born corrupted insects would come from various buildings and directions, like mosquitoes and flies chasing light, or newcomers who had just joined the sect to pay homage to the leader, to the administrative building, bow their bodies toward the roof, and spread their tentacles.
The Ash Priestess did not respond, but every two minutes, its song would rise in pitch.
Within two minutes, a new wave of fallen insects will gather and head towards the battlefield south of the base.
The rate at which new Fallen Insects are generated is not constant; it is roughly an exponential mathematical operation.
The number of insects rushing onto the battlefield will increase, endlessly...
Jiang Mo's pollution levels became unstable again, and he urged, "Let's go into the camp."
Every minute wasted increases the probability of the army outside the base, the civilians still holding on inside the base, and everyone else collapsing!
But Zhao Bohan said, "Wait a few minutes."
Jiang Mo frowned, and his eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce expression.
But the team members all crouched down in a safe corner, and Qi An distributed the blue and red pills he had brought from the hospital.
Two minutes later, another wave of nearly 200 insects left, and Jiang Mo almost crushed the pill in his hand!
"you......"
Before he could finish speaking, the Ash Priest on the roof of the administration building stood up!
It stood up, wobbled along the narrow edge of the roof for two steps, and then fell headfirst down!
Of course, he didn't die from the fall. Although his two wings were featherless, they were made of snow-white bones and pinkish-white flesh, making them a beautiful sight. He flew out of Dongying and headed towards the center of the base.
It's gone! Yu Shuang immediately said, "Purify! Take your medicine! Come inside!"
Qi An quickly shook hands with everyone.
Jiang Mo was initially surprised by how accurately these people predicted the Ash Priest's movements, but he was even more shocked by Qi An's purification speed!
He looked at Qi An.
Qi An didn't give him a deep purification, otherwise the commander's mouth would probably be shut up, and he would have swallowed a lot more cold rainwater.
The purification was complete, and everyone's pollution level dropped back to 30%. Everyone took out their small red pills and swallowed them. Yu Shuang gave the order:
"Advance to camp!"
Like tigers unleashed from their cages, Chen Xi and Yu Shuang led the way side by side, pushing the team's pace to the limit that Qi An could bear!
Yu Shuang knew Dongying as well as the lines on her own palm, and the route she chose was both covert and fast!
Only Zhuang Xiao and Zhao Bohan were still firing their guns, while Yu Shuang and the other man were carrying short knives and tactical daggers, ready to slash any approaching fallen insects!
Like a sharp knife cutting through the torrential rain, the team made up for all the time lost in their sprint, arriving at the administration building from the north gate in just 3 minutes!
"Scatter!" Yu Shuang shouted.
The team of six people immediately split into two groups. Chen Xi grabbed Qi An with one hand and pulled Jiang Mo with the other. Following Qi An's directions, they went around the building from the left driveway of the administration building and ran into the ginkgo forest.
"Indicate the location of the underground warehouse entrance!" Qi An said.
Despite shouting that, Qi An didn't stop. Instead, he pulled Chen Xi and ran deeper into the woods.
The entire ginkgo forest covers an area of about half a square kilometer. There are many possible entrance locations, but Qi An ran in the right direction!
Jiang Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is this really the Ride the Wind Team 2?!
