Chapter 595 597 Mission Upgrade
"When issuing the mission, they did not tell us the truth about the situation here, but instead deliberately concealed it. Is he issuing the mission or deliberately sending us to die? When I return to the capital, I will definitely ask them for an explanation. Don't worry about it." Rong Xianxian sneered, stood up, and motioned for the two to leave her tent.
"Ms. Rong, please be patient, please be patient. I know that you were willing to go there because you heard something in the Qimingshan Safe Zone. In addition, we have encountered something that can invade the brain and affect consciousness before, so you are worried about the safety of the team members. We can understand all this. However, you said that the official deliberately concealed the situation when issuing the mission. This is absolutely not the case." Researcher Li explained solemnly.
"Then why are your soul-detecting robots so suitable for this occasion?" Rong Xianxian looked at him sarcastically.
"There have been strange murders in the Gushizhai security zone. Judging from the course of the case, it seems to be a supernatural event such as possession by an evil spirit. That's why the military sent people from our Institute of Abnormal Life to Gushizhai with soul-detecting instruments and robots. This is reasonable, but the situation here is worse than before, which has increased the difficulty of the mission." Researcher Li said frankly and sincerely.
"So, you don't know what the current situation is in the Gushizhai safe zone?" Rong Xianxian asked.
The two researchers shook their heads in unison.
"Well, I just went out and saved someone. She told me that the Gushizhai safe zone is now a dead place and there are no living people anymore. So we don't need to go there. Let's prepare to return early tomorrow morning!" Rong Xianxian clapped her hands and said.
"Ms. Rong, you are treating the mission issued by the military as a joke. Since you have accepted the mission from the military, you must complete it no matter what difficulties you encounter. Otherwise, you will delay important matters. Even if you are not a soldier, you cannot escape the sanctions of military law." The skin on Researcher Li's face twitched uncontrollably. He finally couldn't help getting angry and was no longer as lukewarm as before.
"Since you don't know the current situation in the Gushizhai safe zone, why don't you believe what I say?" Rong Xianxian curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
"I have a table here. On it is the daily death toll reported by Gushizhai. According to the time pattern calculated by experts, the worst case scenario in the Gushizhai safety zone is that more than half of the people have died. It is impossible that there are no survivors. Ms. Rong said it so absolutely. She seems to be evading her mission." Researcher Li took out a drawing from his arms and slapped it on the table in front of Rong Xianxian.
Rong Xianxian picked up the drawing and took a look. It was a prediction chart based on some unknown rule. The death toll shown on it was increasing exponentially in the past few days.
"In the current situation, what can you do if you go in? Can you solve the problem with just the two of you and these robots? Can you transfer all the survivors to a safe place?" Rong Xianxian looked at the two men suspiciously.
"Don't we still have you?" Researcher Li said calmly.
"Ms. Rong, to be honest, we just received news from the military yesterday. The situation in the Gushizhai Safety Zone is indeed very bad. The mission difficulty has increased. The rescue mission in the Gushizhai Safety Zone has been upgraded to a super S-level mission. The reward for completing the mission is ten times the original amount. If there are casualties during the mission, the military will issue pensions in accordance with military regulations." Researcher Li silently took out a light golden mission card from his pocket.
Apart from the different colors and the different task levels marked on it, this task card is very similar to the one in Rong Xianxian's hand.
"You have even prepared the task cards for super S-level tasks in advance." Rong Xianxian glanced at it and had no intention of reaching out to take it.
"When we set out from the capital, the situation here was not as serious as it is now. No one was sure how the situation in Gushizhai would change. Now we are facing the worst-case scenario predicted at the time."
"Ms. Rong, I remind you that the upgrade mission is a mandatory mission. If you refuse to carry it out, it will be regarded as betrayal. You and your entire team will be expelled from the safe zone, and all your property will be confiscated." Researcher Li threatened Rong Xianxian when he saw that she was reluctant to accept the mission card.
Rong Xianxian raised her lips, "In that case, I'll take it." As Rong Xianxian went to get the task card, she stared into Researcher Li's eyes and counted silently, "One, two, three."
After they finished counting silently, the two researchers fell to the ground at the same time.
"You dare to threaten me? Very well, I want to see what you know." Just when Rong Xianxian was about to do something in the house, she signaled He Wen to go to the inner room.
She closed the slender plum vase filled with soul-calling grass smoke on the table and hypnotized the two researchers.
Rong Xianxian was a little confused. Why did the military have to be so secretive when announcing this mission? If the truth was told, the team carrying out the mission could also prepare in advance, wouldn't it increase the success rate of the mission?
Rong Xianxian activated the Soul-Calming Bell and attached a trace of mental power to the sound of the bell to invade Researcher Li's mind, intending to check his memory. However, as soon as she invaded, a person appeared in front of her.
A man in his forties, wearing a military uniform, with regular features and a resolute and upright look, smiled slightly.
"I've heard of Doctor Rong for a long time, but this should be the first time we meet. I'm the chairman of the United Front Work Committee, Jingyuan. We are all relieved to know that you have taken on the rescue mission of Gushizhai, because you are the best candidate for this mission. Apart from you, the success rate of others in carrying out this mission is very low. Since you can see this scene, it means that you must have discovered the problem. The escort mission and the rescue mission are all pretexts. I will now tell you the real mission content of this trip. In the No. 2 arsenal in the Gushizhai safety zone, there is a batch of black jade. These black jades are very important. Please be sure to bring these black jades back intact at all costs. The No. 2 arsenal is at this location, and the key is in the hands of the highest commander of the Gushizhai safety zone. After the mission is accomplished, you will be awarded the rank of major general and can form an independent corps. Remember, this matter is related to the survival of the nation. I will explain the reasons behind it to you in person when you return to Beijing to report."
Before the image disappeared, Rong Xianxian quickly wrote down the map and withdrew it from Researcher Li's consciousness.
Thinking about being caught red-handed just now, Rong Xianxian broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that the leaders in the military already knew exactly what methods she had.
Rong Xianxian thought about what President Jingyuan had just said. If she guessed correctly, those black jades should be what were found in Black Mist Ridge!
