After chatting with her husband until about 9:30, it was almost time for him to go to bed, so Shen Rufeng reminded him that it was time to hang up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Rufeng took a shower, lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
the next day
Shen Rufeng had breakfast before heading to the underground research base. When he arrived, everyone was already in their positions.
Seeing the ten soldiers standing up as soon as he arrived, Shen Rufeng asked casually, "Have you all had breakfast?"
"Yes! Everything is ready and we can set off at any time."
"Well, wait a few minutes."
Shen Rufeng left a message and then walked over to the old researcher.
Picking up the experimental results they calculated and sorted out yesterday, Shen Rufeng glanced through them roughly, focusing on the project they were going to experiment with today.
A few minutes later
Shen Rufeng led his people to the large round platform where the portal was placed. At the same time, the monitoring equipment started up.
"Today we have two tasks. First, we will carry out the shuttle of the plane without external defense. Second, we will complete the first task of the national mission to absorb talents."
Shen Rufeng briefly explained today's mission to them.
"Now, take off the jade pendants from your necks and hand them over."
"...Yes!" Although the soldiers were confused, they still chose to obey the order.
As if sensing their uneasiness, Shen Rufeng soothed them, "Don't worry, we are just testing whether you will be scattered to different places without the jade pendant. We will not let you be scattered to different planes."
Before plane travel, you must select the plane you want to travel to. It is impossible to accidentally select one plane and end up in another.
After putting away the jade pendant, Shen Rufeng released the portal and then activated it.
"Let's go."
"yes!"
Shen Rufeng was the first to step into the door, followed closely by ten soldiers.
When the last person enters, the portal closes.
After successfully arriving, Shen Rufeng discovered that three people were missing from the team.
"Check who's missing."
As he spoke, Shen Rufeng turned on the plane map generation button and began to generate the map of this plane.
"Mr. Shen, Hua Yi, Hua Jiu and Hua Shi are missing." Hua Er counted them and reported.
While waiting for the map to be generated, Shen Rufeng asked them about their physical reactions this time.
After listening, Shen Rufeng nodded in understanding and then wrote down the result.
In general, the presence or absence of the jade pendant has no effect on the body when traveling through planes. The jade pendant can only be used to gather everyone together.
Without the blessing of the jade pendant, the landing location is uncertain.
After listening to their reports, the plane map was generated.
Zooming down the map, Shen Rufeng began looking for the three missing soldiers.
After finding it, Shen Rufeng enlarged the system panel and showed them the map.
They are now in a deep mountain and dense forest, and Hua Yi and his two companions are currently located near the imperial city of the country they are currently in.
The two sides were far apart, and Shen Rufeng calculated that they would have to travel for five days before they could meet up with Hua Yi and the others.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Hua Yi and others stay where they are.
So, what is the current situation of Hua Yi and his group, who are missed by Shen Rufeng and his group?
Hua Yi said, not good at all!
He suspected that the three of them had fallen into a large-scale murder scene.
As soon as I closed my eyes, all I saw was darkness.
But they smelled a strong smell of blood as soon as they breathed in, which made the three special forces soldiers instantly enter alert mode.
After a while, my eyes adjusted and it took me a while to finally see everything around me clearly.
It was a cold, dark place, vast and empty.
There was a large cross in each of the four corners, and a man in black was tied to each cross.
The strong smell of blood they had just smelled was probably coming from the large pool of blood under their feet.
No.
After seeing the blood-soaked execution instruments placed in front of the four men in black, Hua Yi overturned his previous guess.
The thick, nauseating smell of blood that permeated the air must have accumulated over time.
It was obvious that they were in a cell, most likely a private dungeon.
Now, their first priority is to leave this place.
Hua Yi glanced at Hua Jiu and Hua Shi, who nodded in understanding, and then the three of them began to look for a exit.
Although the three people's footsteps were very light, for people with internal strength, their footsteps were not quiet.
The sound of iron chains rattling could be heard in the quiet dungeon. Hua Juzu, who was closest to them, paused and turned his head sharply to look.
The man in black, who had been keeping his head down and his long hair covering his face, now looked up at him.
However, his eyes were very distracted, and Hua Shi was not sure whether he was conscious at the moment, or was just acting subconsciously out of vigilance.
Hua Yi and Hua Jiu, who also heard the sound, quickly rushed over.
Seeing that the man in black was staring at him for so long, Hua Shi was sure that the man was really awake.
Before they could speak, the man in black suddenly spoke.
"You...were you sent by the prince?"
The man's voice was hoarse, obviously because he had not taken in water for a long time.
Despite this, they could still hear clearly.
Prince?
The three of them looked at each other calmly.
Their mission this time was to have five shadow guards, and the prince knew as soon as he heard it that there was no shortage of shadow guards.
Not to mention that Hua Yi and the other two were planning how to rescue the four men in black, Shen Rufeng had encountered some trouble.
It is known that the place where they landed is deep in the mountains and dense forests, and it is suspected that they have fallen into an ambush and assassination scene. What should we do?
Looking at the densely packed red dots on the map, Shen Rufeng felt his scalp tingling.
The seven special forces soldiers who were also looking at the map had solemn expressions.
"Mr. Shen..."
"Let's go!" Shen Rufeng said in a deep voice.
This kind of situation is clearly a death scene where you will lose your life if you get involved, so try to avoid it if you can.
However, sometimes accidents are more likely to happen to you the more you want to avoid them. Seeing the people being hunted running towards them, Shen Rufeng sighed in his heart.
What a trouble!
The group of men in black who were chasing after them saw Shen Rufeng and his eight companions, and especially sensed the familiar murderous intent and coldness in the eyes of Hua Erqi and his companions, they mistakenly thought that they were people coming for support.
Of course, even if they were not the supporters, they would not let go of anyone who witnessed the scene.
The leader of the men in black waved his hand, and half of the men in black used their lightness skills to come over and surround them.
"Don't show mercy when necessary, just do it!"
"yes!"
Shen Rufeng, who had never shown his true strength in front of others, couldn't care less at this moment.
He always felt that even though he went to the other world earlier than originally planned, he could not avoid the accidental death in the original plot.
The only way is to destroy and then rebuild.
The people who were being hunted were originally at a disadvantage, but now with the help of Shen Rufeng and others, the situation is slowly turning around.
Half an hour later, all the men in black were finally dealt with.
"Mr. Shen, are you okay?" After dealing with the last man in black, Hua Er quickly ran to Shen Rufeng.
When others saw that Mr. Shen was injured, they also ran over quickly.
They followed him to the other world. It didn't matter whether they completed the mission or not. What mattered was that they had to ensure Mr. Shen's safety.
This was personally instructed by Mr. Shen and Marshal Lin. Moreover, if anything happens to Mr. Shen, they can't afford to pay for it even with their ten heads.
"It's okay, Hua Er, help me apply the medicine." Shen Rufeng pointed at the porcelain bottle in his hand.
He couldn't move now, and it was obvious that the dagger that had just stabbed him in the chest was poisoned.
Fortunately, he asked Xiao Yuzhu to stuff the detoxification pill into his mouth right away.
While Hua Er was applying medicine to him, Shen Rufeng was calling Xiao Yuzhu in his mind.
'Xiao Yuzhu, why couldn't I move just now?'
Just now Shen Rufeng wanted to dodge the dagger stabbed by the man in black, but his body was unable to move at that moment.
If Hua Er hadn't noticed and pulled him up, he would not have been injured in the chest, but would have been stabbed in the heart, with the poison spreading to his heart and he would have died on the spot.
"This... I don't know what happened to the host. The plot doesn't describe in detail the reason why the host died." Xiao Yuzhu said that she didn't know either, but...
'Host, I think it may be force majeure of the plot.'
"What do you mean?" Shen Rufeng frowned slightly. If this was true, he would not be able to travel through dimensions anymore.
Otherwise, isn't death waiting for him?
'Host, didn't you hand over the system to the country? Then the original plot suddenly took a big turn. Host, you also know that your world is essentially a small world derived from a quick-travel novel.
Generally, in this situation, in order to keep the small world under control, the world consciousness will try its best to turn the plot back.'
Xiao Yuzhu explained.
In fact, it didn't know it originally, but Xiao Yuzhu happened to hear it after staying with the host in the previous world for a long time.
After hearing what it said, Shen Rufeng asked, "So, has the death node been avoided now?"
It would have been a good thing that he avoided it. If he hadn’t avoided it, he might not have died this time, but he might have died next time.
The system has been handed over to the country, and he cannot take it back and let the people above pretend nothing happened.
Moreover, some experimental data on traversing dimensions have not yet been determined, so he still has to lead the first group of people to travel through all the dimensions.
"Well... because the time has been advanced now, I don't know whether I can avoid it or not." Xiao Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly.
Another day when I feel like a waste system.
"Otherwise, host, you should exchange for more life-saving items, such as defensive talismans, elixirs, etc." Xiao Yuzhu suggested.
"With these, I'm sure you, the host, won't die so easily."
Shen Rufeng said nothing about Xiao Yuzhu's suggestion.
As a woman with a husband and children, she must cherish her life. He has a lot of what Xiao Yuzhu said in his system warehouse.
So, this is not reliable.
It was clearly a thing that happened in the past, so why couldn't he remember it before the battle?
It would have been fine if he couldn't remember it, but no one else reminded him either, which clearly showed that something was interfering.
'By the way, host, we can establish a relationship with the protagonist. Anything related to the protagonist is not out of the plot.'
'I am now Qin Feiyu's third uncle, so this doesn't matter?'
"It's not Qin Feiyu, it's the fast-travel protagonist who wants to capture Qin Feiyu." Xiao Yuzhu explained, "That person is the protagonist, and Qin Feiyu is at most one of the protagonist's slices."
"If you put it that way, my nephew is quite pitiful," Shen Rufeng sneered.
However, his family is even more pitiful.
"Why is he so pitiful?" Xiao Yuzhu was puzzled. Now it is its host who is pitiful.
