The backpack issue was temporarily resolved, and Qiao Yuan, lying on the bed, began to check his energy level again.

Normal energy value: 710

Special energy value: 345

Among the exercises I practice, the simplest and fastest one is the "Acalanatha Kung".

I am not far from a breakthrough, I can break through this technique!

Consumes 544 points of ordinary energy, part of which is converted into proficiency and the other part is a breakthrough.

This defensive technique finally broke through to the sixth level!

If we can deal with these strange spirits in Nanshi within a week, conservatively speaking, we can make another breakthrough.

With this thought in mind, Qiao Yuan fell asleep.

…

the next day.

Qiao Yuan, who was soundly sleeping, was awakened by the quarreling outside. He opened the car window and looked out. The rare sunshine brought a few touches of warmth.

In the most conspicuous position in the middle of the base camp, there was a pole that had been erected at some unknown time, with the corpse of the ghost in the room hanging on it.

Groups of patrolmen had sad faces and were talking about something.

Mental power spreads and eavesdrops.

It turned out that a patrol team had not returned to the camp for two days.

According to regulations, under normal circumstances, regardless of whether survivors are found, they must report back to the base camp once within 48 hours. Once it exceeds 48 hours, based on past experience, the consequences are not very good.

After getting up and washing up, Qiao Yuan got ready and went to Bai Jin's command vehicle, ready to ask the commander if there was anything he could help with.

If not, I will have to act freely, and I am afraid I will not be back in the short time.

Food and accommodation will be provided on the battlefield!

…

"Qiao Yuan, you came at the right time. Are you interested in leading a team of patrollers to eliminate the alien spirits according to the hunters' marked locations?" Bai Jin, who was looking at the map, said to Qiao Yuan.

Now that the ghost in that room is dead, we must launch a fierce attack!

He would leave a few teams behind to continue searching for survivors, and he would plan to form several elite teams with the remaining patrols to complete the elimination of the scattered alien spirits, paving the way for the general offensive in a few days.

After thinking about it for a moment, Qiao Yuan rejected the proposal.

It’s too troublesome to lead a team. Since there is nothing to do here, I will just work alone to increase my energy.

"By the way, I saw people outside talking about a team that hasn't returned yet. What's going on?" Qiao Yuan asked curiously.

"I know about this. I arranged for people from the Hunter Alliance to search three hours ago." Bai Jin said, who was looking at a map and studying tactics for the next few days.

"That's good." Qiao Yuan nodded and left with satisfaction.

"With Hua Wu and the others' strength, they should be able to hold on!"

Bai Jin's last words interrupted Qiao Yuan's departure.

He stopped and returned to the command vehicle.

"Who did you say is missing?"

Bai Jin looked up and said, "Hua Wu, what's wrong?"

"Where did it disappear last?" Qiao Yuan frowned slightly.

…

There is a village on the mountain in a suburb of Nanshi City. There is no one living around it, only a few abandoned old houses.

The dawn light pierced through the darkness, and the distant sky showed a fish belly white, but this area was still pitch black, as if isolated from the world, appearing very lonely and desolate.

And in this silence, you can vaguely hear some tiny noises, and slowly... the sound becomes louder and clearer.

The dazzling light pierced through the darkness, and a beast-like roar came from the distance. A special off-road vehicle rushed out from the night, and the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

Then there was a loud bang.

"Bang!"

Flames shot up into the sky, and the entire highway was cracked by the violent explosion. Smoke and dust filled the air, and several embarrassed figures escaped from it.

"Damn, who the hell planted this mine on the roadside?"

"How can you use thunder to deal with alien spirits? Whoever planted it didn't even mark it!"

“…”

In the darkness, a fat man covered in soft armor with only a round face showing roared.

A few hours ago, he received a commission from Bai Jin, requiring him and others to search for a team of patrolmen.

So he led the team himself and gathered three hunters to set off!

As a result, they encountered a strange spirit on the way. In order to reach the destination on time, Fatty Wang and others did not fight.

…

"Boss, this seems to be a special mine from within the Security Bureau. It has a slight effect on alien spirits!"

Four people climbed out of the abandoned car, and one of the hunters came to this conclusion after examining the traces.

"How far is it from here to our destination?" Fatty Wang asked.

"About five kilometers."

The explosion did not affect them, but they lost their means of transportation.

"Forget it, let's set off on foot!" Fatty Wang ordered.

The four were preparing to set off.

Rumble!

Suddenly, there was a startling sound, and the entire ground shook violently like a tsunami. Cracks extended outward, as if to tear the earth apart.

Boom!

Loud noises continued to be heard in the distance, sounding particularly harsh in the silent darkness.

Fatty Wang steadied himself and looked intently. He couldn't see anything in the darkness, but the invisible oppression was coming from all directions, and the entire sky became darker.

"Boss, it must be it. It's chasing us again!" said one of the hunters with a serious expression.

"One-Eye, figure out how many there are on the opposite side!" Fatty Wang frowned.

"Yes, Boss!"

Among the five-person team, a one-eyed awakened person jumped onto a tree, took off his eye mask, revealing his empty eye sockets, which was extremely creepy!

"Boss, I see clearly, there is only one!"
