Chapter 748: Reunion
At this moment, Xu Chan was leading everyone on this trip towards Chen Chuan.
With the speed of him and the three captains, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Chen Chuan, but they were accompanied by other personnel, so they were a little slow in their movements.
You should know that it is not just them now. All the creatures in the dense forest are fleeing out under the threat of insect quicksand. The sky is filled with dense flying insects and birds, and the ground is covered with all kinds of unknown insects crawling fast.
These things moved forward with them, and sometimes they would devour and bite each other.
From time to time, you can see some creatures falling to the ground due to the terrain and collisions, and at this time they will immediately be covered by the swarming insects. In just a moment, not even a bone will be left.
This forced them to slow down and form a formation outside all the team members, with Xu Chan leading the way and the other three responsible for the left, right and rear to protect everyone's progress.
The ground ahead gradually rose, and now it was visible. The huge body of the creature underneath was revealed, its abdominal feet began to support its body, and rustling soil and trees began to fall from above. The scene was very spectacular, and this creature should be considered a large creature.
Large creatures in the Interfusion Zone are generally found deep in the Interfusion Zone and rarely in other places. This may be because they are far away from the other side of the world and the environment is not sufficient to support their survival.
No one knows how it appeared here. It is very likely that it had been sleeping underground before, and perhaps it was awakened by the arrival of insect quicksand, or the continued existence of the remains.
After a while, everyone came close to the creature, jumped onto the wrinkles on its body, and then climbed up.
At this moment, not only them, but also various creatures and reptiles were climbing and jumping on this creature. Judging from the situation, it seemed that this thing could protect them.
However, with so many things climbing up at the same time, it was inevitable that they would rub against each other and pile up, and some would be hit by the dirt, rocks and trees falling from above. So while they were swarming up, they kept falling down, and then landed in the dense community of organisms below, disappearing in the blink of an eye, which was shocking to watch.
At this moment, there was suddenly an invisible wave falling from above, and the creatures blocking their way suddenly rolled down in groups. At this moment, a large area around them was also cleared.
When they looked up, they saw a figure standing at the very top, holding a long knife in his hand, with a red scarf fluttering outside his body. There was also a gorgeous ray of light that extended from where he was standing to the sky, merging with the gorgeous rays of light.
"Manager Chen!"
Captain Lu shouted excitedly.
Since they were all running just now, and the ground ahead was gradually rising, they really had no idea what the situation was like above during the running process. But now they saw him standing there in good health, did that mean... the battle above was over?
Xu Chan said at this time: "Let's talk about it when we get up there."
Everyone responded in unison.
After they climbed up with confusion and excitement, they immediately looked around and saw that behind Chen Chuan in the distance were all broken limbs and bodies, with almost no complete human figures. They were shocked and many people looked at him with awe and admiration.
Xu Chan was the calmest, as if he had guessed the outcome in advance. After looking around, he raised his hand and saluted, "Supervisor, the search team has arrived to report. All members are here."
Everyone behind him saluted him together. Although their clothes were stained with blood and torn, and their faces were covered in dirt, they all stood very straight.
Chen Chuan raised his hand in return, and after lowering it, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I'll come to pick you up from the rear this time."
Hearing these words, everyone was excited.
Captain Lu looked around and couldn't help asking, "Manager Chen, these people..."
Chen Chuan said: "It has almost been cleaned up."
Even though they had already seen what happened on the scene, everyone was still shocked when they heard him admit it in person.
When they were watching the battle from the hillside just now, most of the enemy's main forces were still there, and when they ran over, it was only a few minutes? Could it be that they had already dealt with everything?
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Well, I still have one person alive, and I need his confession."
Captain Hai immediately asked seriously, "Manager Chen, is there anything I need to ask?"
Chen Chuan said: "Some problems occurred within the processing bureau."
He briefly recounted the murder of Director Wen and the capture of Director Han.
"Director Wen's body ended up in the hands of that skinner. I kept this man here because I wanted to get the whereabouts of Director Wen's body from him and try to bring it back."
No one expected that such a serious situation would occur in the rear. Director Han's behavior was enough to be called treason. No wonder so many people from the Linax Federation sneaked in at once. Many team members could not hide their anger on their faces.
Captain Hai's expression became extremely serious. "Director Chen, I'm very good at interrogation. Can you leave this to me?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and nodded.
Captain Hu then said, "Director Chen, the insect swarm is coming soon. Should we leave here first?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "The worm quicksand is unavoidable. From what I know, the shortest worm quicksand lasts for one or two days, and the longest lasts for several days.
And I suspect that these insects came here, probably attracted by the abandoned objects, so unless we give up this thing, it will be difficult to get rid of it.
But you don't need to worry.
He stepped on the ground at this time.
"This creature is called a Mingqiu, and it feeds specifically on large groups of small insects. The environment here isn't strong enough to support its movement for long periods of time. After devouring all the insects, it will sink into the ground and sleep. So we're actually safe here."
Xu Chan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, we'll need to spend the night here."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's right, we just need to pay attention to those blending creatures that rush up with us."
Xu Chan immediately said, "Then let's start preparing for nightfall."
After obtaining Chen Chuan's consent, he immediately arranged for his men to disperse and arrange defenses.
In addition to the things they carried with them, there were also a lot of supplies left here by the Federation and the Linax Federation, which they made full use of.
After digging trenches on the periphery, they sprinkled medicine inside and around them, and surrounded them with several layers of barbed wire inside and outside. Then they set up bonfires with large intervals and built tents that were large enough for everyone to shelter at night.
In order to avoid attracting more creatures from the fusion land, the corpses here need to be burned in time.
While everyone was working separately, Captain Hai found the skinner according to the direction pointed out by Chen Chuan. Seeing his body twisted into a pretzel, he was secretly shocked. He didn't know what kind of strength he had. As a result, many interrogation methods could not be implemented, but there was still a way.
He picked up the Skinner and took him to a secluded place.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Chen Chuan walked aside and collected the weapons left behind by some people.
This time the harvest was not small, and all the weapons that could be used were alienated weapons that could carry the power of the heart.
For example, the dagger carried by Heros, the long whip used by Qi Qianyang, the Thunder Twin Arm Fins, etc. Although I have never seen Heros use the dagger, it can be carried with him, and it is undoubtedly a top-quality weapon.
He picked them up and wiped them clean carefully, then packed them in a sealing bag and put them safely in his luggage, ready to take them back after the trip.
As for the weapons of the ordinary fighters, he did not touch them. He had no impression of these people, and he did not even look down on any of the weapons in their hands.
About an hour later, Captain Hai returned, wiping his hands with a handkerchief as he walked. When he reached Chen Chuan, he saluted and said, "Director, he's explained everything. The situation is a bit complicated, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Director Wen's body."
Chen Chuan asked, "How do you say that?"
Captain Hai took a breath, steadied his voice, and said, "He peeled off Director Wen's skin and flesh, separated it from the skeleton, and processed it. He placed them in two storage boxes, intending to take them back as collectibles. They are currently being placed in their camp."
Chen Chuan asked, "Where is the camp?"
Captain Hai said, "It may be some distance from here. Now the worm quicksand is right in front of us. Once the worm quicksand passes, it's hard to say whether we can survive."
He took out the map he had drawn in the future, unfolded it, and pointed at a certain location. "According to what he said, it should be within this area."
Chen Chuan compared the approximate distance and glanced at the time. There was still more than an hour before dark, and it would take more than that to get there, not to mention the time to get back. It was indeed too late.
And because of the insect quicksand, it is possible that the camp has already evacuated with its belongings.
In this case, I can only try to find it later.
"There's one more thing," Captain Hai said. "That person said the general leading the team this time seems to be preparing some kind of ceremony."
"ceremony?"
"Yes, that's what he said."
Captain Hai said, "He just said he was a hired fighter and didn't care what the higher-ups wanted. He just said that the ritual felt evil and made him feel very uncomfortable."
Chen Chuan nodded. "Besides this, is there anything else?"
Captain Hai said, "No more. I've asked him several times and I'm sure that's all he knows."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is he still alive?"
“Alive.”
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, then let's keep him alive. Keep him alive for now, don't let him die. Once we find Director Wen, we can deal with him together."
Captain Hai saluted solemnly and said "yes" in an emphasis!
Chen Chuan took another look at the map and glanced in a certain direction according to that location. "A secret religious ritual..." He had a feeling that the camp might not be dispersed so easily.
