He had heard about the falling out between this girl and the Wu family, but judging from her innocent appearance, he guessed that Lin Shuyu was helping her behind the scenes. Once they left the base, he would be in charge. He would then play the hero and save the beauty in the weird dungeon, and then... tsk tsk, how exciting that would be.
Just thinking about it almost made his nose bleed, so Wu Qishan politely replied to Su Luo and then turned his head away to avoid embarrassment.
Wu Qishan, who had turned his head away, naturally did not see the fleeting madness in Su Luo's eyes.
Haha, this team is so interesting.
Xia Ming, Wu Qishan, I can't wait to see what you're up to!
"Let's go."
Just before departure, Xia Ming went up to Su Luo, trying to get closer to her, "I was in such a hurry at the last meeting that I didn't have time to ask for your name, Miss?"
"Your ancestors." Su Luo said with a smile, then got into Lin Shuyu's car.
After all, it's over 300 miles away. Why not take a car and walk there?
The base still has its foundation; it can still produce a few military vehicles.
Despite being ignored once again, Xia Ming seemed completely unconcerned, even raising his hand to wave at Su Luo from under the car.
A few hours later, following Xia Mingren's directions, the surroundings became increasingly eerie, and the distance from the city grew farther and farther. Previously, there were still many groups of wild ghosts on the road, but now, even wild ghosts were rarely seen.
This isn't right.
Su Luo also shared her concerns with Lin Shuyu and his team, saying, "That Xia Ming is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
"Yes, I understand." Lin Shuyu nodded, then looked at Su Luo with slight concern. "Miss Su, this matter originally had nothing to do with you. We know how capable you are. If you encounter danger, don't worry about us. Please take care of yourself."
Knowing that Su Luo had a small house and two powerful one-star monsters guarding it, making him practically invincible in that small village, she could have chosen not to come...
"I'll say it again: as long as I, Lin Shuyu, live, I will guarantee Miss Su's safety."
Hearing this, Su Luo looked at Lin Shuyu with what could be described as admiration. He was a real man, no wonder he could become a nine-star officer, but…
"You made that guarantee within the Noah base back then, but now that we're outside the base, that guarantee is invalid."
"Besides, do I look as weak as I do?"
Lin Shuyu and the others: ...
That's true.
Recalling everything that had happened in the cabin, the group suddenly realized that they were the ones who should be protected.
"Gah, gah, gah."
Outside the car, the area was deserted, with flocks of crows perched on dry branches, watching the passing vehicles. Then, the lead car pulled up just outside a dilapidated, rusty wrought iron gate not far away.
"Was there a granary around here before?" Su Luo got out of the car, looked around, and asked with a puzzled expression.
This place is far from the capital and several hundred kilometers away from Shanshui City. Su Luo didn't know the details, but he felt that a granary shouldn't be built in such a desolate place.
Lin Shuyu, who got off the car, subconsciously walked to Su Luo's right front side, looking around warily. "I have never been here before, but the map shows that this road leads to Mengshan City. There was indeed a reserve granary there. Just as they said, the grain they received was enough for the base to survive for another three months even if they lived frugally."
Otherwise, why would Noah's Base send people here? Do they really think the old guys up there are easy to fool?
"This should be a small path leading to Mengshan. After all, Mengshan City was severely affected, and the search and rescue team had long since given up on the search and rescue work here."
It should be noted that Lin Shuyu's right-hand man, Wu Rensheng, stood to Su Luo's left front side, silently protecting Su Luo in the center.
Su Luo: Fine, she won't lose out anyway.
"Everyone, this is the three-star eerie dungeon I was talking about." Xia Ming leaned against the door of the first car, seemingly weak, and tapped the iron door behind him with the half of his palm.
A crimson moon hangs in the sky, crows flock together, a gust of cold wind brushes against the face, making the iron gate rustle. Inside the gate, a not-so-small white building can be vaguely seen. The plaque in front of the gate is half-fallen and not very clear, only the two characters "Mengshan" can be vaguely seen.
"This road was originally a path leading to Mengshan. There was a county town not far away, but after the county town was relocated, this place was abandoned."
"If you want to get to the granary of Mengshan without making a sound, this is the fastest and safest route."
Yes, it is indeed the fastest route, but it only requires clearing a three-star dungeon.
Xia Ming didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
"Captain, this place looks a bit creepy." Zhang Miaomiao rubbed her arms, feeling like she was being watched by something, which was even more terrifying than when she faced the two one-star monsters in Sister Su's house.
"Be on guard." Lin Shuyu nodded. He naturally realized that something was wrong. The oppressive atmosphere here was extremely strong, and it was not on the same level as that of the Gourmet and Fortune.
Is this the overwhelming pressure of the three-star dungeon?
"Now that things have come to this, the choice is yours—to go in or not to go in." Xia Ming's words sounded nice, essentially handing the choice over to each individual, but since they were already here, and it was just one step away...
Who wouldn't want to give it a try?
"Hmph, I thought the Greedy Wolf Guild was so awesome, but they're just a bunch of cowards. They're scared like this by a three-star dungeon. What cowards!" Wu Qishan said as he walked forward, spitting in dissatisfaction as he brushed past Xia Ming, and led his team to stand in front of the iron gate.
"What kind of evil spirits could there be in an abandoned place? I'd rather encounter one or two, so I can have some fun and see what it feels like to kill a spirit!"
