Chapter 246 238 Suspicion
Densely packed monsters with fish-scale armor blocked the tank's path, making its progress extremely slow. Rong Xianxian leaned out and threw a few incendiary bombs into the distance to lure away some of the monsters, so as to reduce the resistance to movement.
After Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie left the mining area, Rong Xianxian opened the flying carpet, put away the tank, and flew towards the supply point.
Rong Xianxian and his team walked in a straight line, while the army drove armored vehicles along the road leading to the mining area. When the army had walked less than half the distance, Rong Xianxian and his team had already returned to the vicinity of the supply point.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie rearranged their clothes. Cui Lie still had nothing in his hands. Rong Xianxian was carrying a backpack and looked the same as when she just went out. She walked back to the supply point.
The noise they made at the mining area just now would definitely arouse suspicion in the direction ahead. For safety reasons, Rong Xianxian originally wanted to fly over the checkpoint gate, put the domain stone back to the residence first, and then return through the gate.
But Cui Lie stopped her and said, "The air protection at this checkpoint is even tighter than the gate. If you want to fly over, you will definitely be discovered by snipers." Cui Lie pointed to several places and said.
Rong Xianxian used her perception to carefully observe the places Cui Lie mentioned, and sure enough, a slight breathing sound was heard.
Rong Xianxian had no choice but to give up the idea!
They walked forward and knocked on the gate, showed the pass given by the direction, and after entering the supply point, Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie were directly invited to the headquarters of the 301st Regiment.
"Doctor Rong, have you received the things?" Xiang Qian asked with a smile.
"Captain Fang, I have collected everything accurately and I can start teaching now." Rong Xianxian also had a smile on her face.
"Doctor Rong has been out for a long time this time. I almost suspected that you were going to run away with the things. I wonder what Doctor Rong was doing just now? Please tell me the truth." Xiang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was carefully observing Rong Xianxian's expression.
"What does Captain Fang mean? Are you going to interrogate the prisoner?" Rong Xianxian glared at the front with dissatisfaction.
"No, of course not. It's just that the dangerous area we are monitoring was suddenly filled with artillery fire just now, and you happened to have these things in your hands. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Seeing that Rong Xianxian was annoyed, Xiang Qian didn't waste time and asked directly.
"The dangerous area you are talking about is in the northwest direction. There was indeed continuous artillery fire in the northwest direction just now. Wasn't that the action of your troops?" Rong Xianxian asked with a frown.
"That's not our person." Xiangfang said calmly.
"The area we just went to is not close to here, right? Although we came back a little late, this amount of time is not enough for us to go back and forth there. There are monsters roaming in the wild at night, and it's pitch dark. We should go to the dangerous area identified by your troops and then come back. Captain Fang, do you think too highly of me?" Rong Xianxian said with a sneer.
If Xiangqian had not known the notorious reputation Cui Lie had left in the army, he would never have connected this matter with Rong Xianxian.
The reason why he agreed to the deal before was that he subjectively believed that the arms that Rong Xianxian asked for were what Cui Lie wanted. Otherwise, Rong Xianxian was a weak and fragile woman, how could she carry a rocket launcher?
The reason why Cui Lie did not show up was probably because he did not want the people in the army to notice him.
Cui Lie's expression became increasingly cold in the hall, and Cheng Rui, who was ordered to accompany him, moved further away from him little by little.
"What on earth does your Captain Fang want to see Sister Rong about?" Cui Lie stared sharply at Cheng Rui, who was almost curled up into a ball.
“……” Cheng Rui didn’t dare to speak and stared at Cui Lie pitifully.
"Then what did you do just now? What did you want those weapons for before?" He asked relentlessly in the command room. There was no need to ask Cui Lie, as he would definitely not be able to tell the truth.
Rong Xianxian understood that although the government had not yet taken control of the mining area, it was only because it did not have enough troops and the value of the ore was still being estimated. However, this did not mean that the government would allow private individuals to covet it.
"Of course I went to collect herbs just now. I promised Captain Fang that I would teach the prescription to your military doctor tonight. The types of herbs I carried with me were not complete, so I went to look for herbs nearby. I'm in a hurry to go to the Taijingan Security Zone, and I don't want to delay tomorrow's schedule." Rong Xianxian said with a serious face.
"As for the munitions, Captain Fang should be very clear about the power of the munitions. Of course, I want the munitions to improve the strength of the team and ensure our personal safety. Or, does Captain Fang think that I want those munitions just to throw them around and listen to the sound and see what happens?" Rong Xianxian's face was full of sarcasm.
He was blocked by Rong Xianxian and couldn't speak.
There is a new type of ore in the mysterious area, and the scientific research department is studying the use of that ore. One of their tasks stationed here is to monitor the movements in the mysterious area. There is a kind of social monster living in that mining area, which is very dangerous. At the beginning, the army lost many people there and paid a huge price. Finally, they figured out the pattern of the monster's actions. The vision of that kind of group monster is not very sensitive, and they usually rely on hearing to determine their position, but they are particularly sensitive to the ores in the mining area. Once the ore is dug, the monster army will immediately move out in full force. It costs a lot to mine the ore, so until now, the amount of ore they have obtained is still very few.
Even if Cui Lie and Rong Xianxian had really gone there just now, they would probably have gained nothing.
Looking forward at the backpack behind Rong Xianxian, he calmly changed the subject, "The herbs are in the bag behind you, right?"
Rong Xianxian also took the opportunity to open her backpack in front of him, revealing the herbs with fresh soil inside. It was obvious that the herbs had just been dug. She looked forward and her expression softened. He had just sent a company of soldiers to the mining area to investigate the situation. If there were any problems, he would wait for them to come back and ask them in detail.
"Cheng Rui." He walked forward, opened the door and shouted outside.
"Here." Cheng Rui, who was trembling under Cui Lie's pressure, heard the voice in the direction ahead, which sounded like heavenly music, and immediately trotted over.
"Take Dr. Rong to Dr. Lan's pharmacy. Dr. Lan should have been waiting for a long time." Xiang Qian instructed Cheng Rui.
"Yes, Commander." Cheng Rui saluted properly and then made a gesture of invitation to Rong Xianxian.
"Alie, I'm going to visit the army's pharmaceutical laboratory. I guess I'll be back late. Please help me take care of the children and remember to change clothes before going to bed, okay?" Rong Xianxian saw that Cui Lie wanted to go with him, so she quickly stopped him.
