Chapter 75 Blood Collection
There were many people in the open space, and although most of them were wearing headphones, the team members nearby could still hear Yu Shuang's question.
An uproar ensued.
Chen Bei frowned slightly, glanced at Yu Shuang, and then walked past her into the car.
He completely ignored her words.
Yu Shuang pressed the clutch, her tone not harsh, but her words were very direct:
"Several squads over there have lost items."
Our bags were mixed up before, and you might not have noticed when you were packing and put the wrong ones in. To avoid any misunderstanding, could you please open the bag and let me take a look?
These words caused an even louder uproar around them. One car had already started moving, but the driver was held back by Peng Qiao's sleeve from the truck bed:
"Wait, wait! Let me watch this spectacle before I leave!"
The top two players on the leaderboard are fighting, it's quite a spectacle!
Chen Bei seemed to be poor at speaking, and remained silent, though a hint of hostility flickered in his eyes.
Gao Qian quickly squeezed through the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Although we went to rescue your team this morning, we went lightly equipped for ease of combat. All the supplies and weights were brought back for us by the brothers from North 1."
"Captain Yu must have misremembered."
The captain of North 1 also wanted to take this train back to base, and Giant Hand said, "I can vouch for it!"
His gaze toward Yu Shuang was extremely unfriendly, filled with both suspicion and disgust.
This star team was just rescued by newborns!
We've only been working side by side for less than a day, and he's already turning his back on me and picking a fight in public?
What the hell!
The surrounding chatter grew louder, with everyone pointing and whispering about Shuang.
The commotion grew increasingly louder, delaying the retreat. A mediator was sent from the command tent, but Staff Officer Yu, who spoke first, had a half-smile on his face:
What did Team Stars lose? Weapons? Medicine? Or personal belongings?
The murmurs among the onlookers grew louder, along with low laughter.
Let alone medicine, even weapons and ammunition produced by the new base are always top-notch. Why would they covet the little stuff from the new base?
The claim that "the new recruits took the personal belongings of the Stars team" is utter nonsense. Are the two teams even acquainted?
The average age of the people in the new student base is still young. If the people in the Stars really think that way, then they're just being presumptuous!
Yu Shuang stood in the middle of the crowd, practically the target of everyone's criticism.
But this man wasn't embarrassed or ashamed at all. He waved to the crowd and said, "Could you please make way for me, brothers?"
The onlookers in the direction she was waving were taken aback. Before they could ask why she was being given way, those on the outer edge, who were anxiously tiptoeing, felt something furry bump against their backs. They turned around and saw:
Holy crap! Where did this bear come from?
The creature scratching at his leg was indeed a black bear, completely black and as dark as a lump of coal.
Although the bear wasn't very big, it was fluffy and chubby, clearly a juvenile, but it still gave the man a big fright. He yelled and darted several meters to the side.
Before several perimeter players could draw their guns, a loud whistle roused Little Bear from his feet.
Wu Han leaned against a banyan tree, blowing a melodious whistle, and the little black bear pounced on him like a frolicking animal.
Because it was too fat, it stumbled and fell to the ground, but Wu Han managed to catch it in the end, preventing it from falling too hard.
Qi An stared intently, his heart softening. Many others found it strange, and even more so, endearing.
Wu Han extended one index finger to the little black bear. A single, bright red bead of blood hung from that finger.
The little black bear sniffed it, wanting to lick it even more. Wu Han, however, raised his hand and glanced at it indifferently.
The little black bear lowered its head and let out a soft cry, as if it were aggrieved.
But at the second whistle, it immediately turned and ran towards the crowd.
The crowd immediately and spontaneously parted to make way for a wide road.
Although the road was wide, the little black bear walked slowly, sniffing around on both sides of the road, which aroused more and more sighs and discussions.
The little black bear sniffed its way to the front of the truck, looking quite confident, and then leaped onto the truck bed.
Chen Bei tensed up immediately, clutching his backpack and gripping his pistol as he looked at Gao Qian.
Gao Qian had a bad feeling and wanted to stop Xiong, but Yu Shuang, and Feng Xu who appeared out of nowhere, stopped him.
Gao Qian managed to break free from Yu Shuang, but his legs had gone numb at some point!
Many eyes had already realized what was going on when the little black bear jumped onto the truck bed. When the little black bear approached the backpack, sniffed it for a moment, and let out a low growl towards Wu Han in the distance, they were even more shocked and understood!
Bears have a sense of smell that is two thousand times stronger than that of humans, making them one of the animals with the most developed sense of smell on Earth!
Bears are also extremely intelligent and can understand and undertake complex tasks.
Could that bag contain the blood of the person under the tree?
The person under the tree didn't seem to be a member of the Star Team, but he was clearly a superhuman.
The captain of the Stars team just said, "Several squads have lost items."
Have the blood of several squads of superhumans been collected by the people at the new base?
This conjecture was merely a fleeting thought in the minds of intelligent people; most of the crowd was still bewildered, but a few were already showing signs of shock.
Staff Officer Meng understood and looked solemnly at Gao Qian.
Staff Officer Yu's ambiguous smile froze, his gaze shifting between the backpacks in Gao Qian and Chen Bei's arms with a hint of surprise.
He looked more at Yu Shuang.
There's no doubt that the new recruit base has the motive to take the blood of powerful superhumans, but taking blood must be an extremely secretive thing. How did this team find out?
They even knew exactly which backpack the blood plasma was hidden in!
Chen Ji frowned and looked at Qi An from outside the crowd.
He looked at the shallow wound on his palm that had already healed, his mind filled with complex emotions.
"Could you open your backpack and let us take a look, buddy?" Yu Shuang rested her arm on the edge of the truck bed, looked around first, snorted, and then repeated her previous question.
Chen Bei's hand had already reached into his backpack and grasped several small glass bottles deep inside the clutter.
He could crush those bottles or hide them somewhere else, but he couldn't completely cover up the traces.
In full view of everyone!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Staff Officer Meng said in a deep voice, "Open your backpack. If you don't have it, the Stars Squad should apologize."
Staff Officer Meng then looked at Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang nodded without hesitation.
The sunlight, like the countless intersecting gazes, was too bright and intense, and beads of sweat rolled down the boy's forehead.
But since things had come to this, the backpack was eventually opened, and the small glass bottles that had been hidden so carefully were finally brought out!
Blood is all the same red color, but the circumstances under which blood is drawn are different, so the amount of blood varies.
There weren't many people who would really be interested in the new student base; there were only 5 bottles filled with blood.
"The one with the most bottles is Wu Han's, the one with the fewest is Feng Xu's... It seems like there aren't any for me!" Qi An said in the earpiece.
Yu Shuang immediately notified Wu Han, whose expression darkened slightly as he struggled to his feet from under the tree.
Qi An also entered the crowd and approached the little bear.
The little bear reluctantly sniffed her back, as if it were poison.
Qiao Zheng had already squeezed into the crowd and replaced Feng Xu, who immediately pinned Chen Bei down.
More than one person held Chen Bei down. As the commotion escalated, some whispered among themselves, dismissing it as a trivial matter, while others were furious, convinced that their blood and genes were mixed in with it!
Urged on by the whistle, the little bear approached Chen Bei and let out a cry when it smelled his sleeve.
"Still hiding!" Yu Shuang shouted angrily, grabbing the sleeve, tearing open the nano-entanglement hook, and reaching inside.
Chen Bei struggled angrily!
But struggling is just right!
Yu Shuang touched the small bottle while struggling.
Seemingly because of an argument, when she left, she opened her palm, which contained only a pool of blood and a shard of broken glass.
She cursed under her breath, then closed her hands again.
Not a single drop of blood spilled from her palm.
