Zhou Ping has been missing in the fog for half a year?

[Nightfall] The faces of everyone in the team suddenly became solemn.

Before, after Lin Qiye and others returned to China, they asked about Zhou Ping's whereabouts. They only knew that he was overseas, but did not know that he was looking for them, let alone that he had disappeared overseas.

Lin Qiye and the others knew very well what the fog was. The fog's lethality had weakened a lot compared to a hundred years ago. It also happened that the war between gods had just begun, and there was no telling how many foreign gods were walking around in it. It was extremely dangerous.

"Don't worry too much." Zuo Qing saw the faces of the crowd and added, "Before Zhou Ping left, he left behind a sword. The sword contains a trace of his sword law. If he really had an accident, the sword would automatically break. But now the sword is still intact, which means he is not in danger of life.

Like I said, he's probably just in trouble or lost."

After hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see."

Lin Qiye nodded without hesitation, "I will definitely find Senior Sword Saint and bring him back."

Zhou Ping has extraordinary significance to the [Nightfall] team. Now there is chaos in the fog and Zhou Ping is missing. Even if Zuo Qing does not give the order, they should take the initiative to go to the fog and look for Zhou Ping's whereabouts.

Zuo Qing nodded, took out a world map from the drawer, spread it on the table, and drew a mark with a red pen:

"Before Zhou Ping left last year, he briefly described to me the route he was going to take. There is a section of the route that overlaps with the route of your mission this time. You should pay special attention to it."

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu came forward, stared at the map carefully, and memorized the route completely.

"It's not peaceful outside the fog right now. Occasionally, gods from various countries will walk through it. Although there are Seraphim following them, this is related to the Ark of the Covenant, and you haven't reached the realm of God yet, so it's better to keep a low profile."

"The ship that went out to sea has been docked at Shenlong Pass for you. It is equipped with some basic supplies. If you need anything else, just ask the person in charge of Shenlong Pass. He will try his best to meet your needs."

"One more thing." Zuo Qing raised his head, looked them in the eye, and said seriously, "The primary goal of your mission this time is to find the Ark of the Covenant and bring it back. If you really can't find Zhou Ping, don't force it. You can first send the Ark back, and then set out again to look for it.

This is a matter of great importance, and the safety of the Ark of the Covenant must be ensured at all costs."

"yes!"

After leaving the Night Watch headquarters, Lin Qiye and others headed to the nearby military airport, preparing to fly to Shenlong Pass.

Buzz buzz buzz——!

Just as they stepped into the cabin, several planes came in with a humming sound, flew across the clear sky and disappeared into the horizon.

"Are there too many planes today?"

Lin Qiye looked up through the porthole at the white marks above his head and spoke in surprise.

"It seems that there are indeed more." Shen Qingzhu added, "and they are basically military aircraft."

Jiang Er looked at the sky for a while, and seeing An Qingyu beside him lost in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"How many days have we been in Heaven?"

"Six days?"

"That's right."

An Qingyu nodded, and the others turned to look at him with puzzled expressions.

"The new recruits should have completed the formalities and received their cloaks, swords, and emblems. Today is the day for them to report to the Night's Watch teams across the country." An Qingyu paused.

"At the same time... it is also the day when veterans leave the team and go to the front line."

…

Shangjing City.

006 team base.

Li Zhenzhen dragged the suitcase, holding the documents in one hand, and quickly shuttled through the alleys. The wheels of the suitcase rubbed against the uneven ground, making a low sound.

She glanced at the time, frowned, turned around, and shouted to Fang Mo who was also dragging a suitcase behind her:

"Hey! Hurry up!!"

"Here I come."

Fang Mo smiled helplessly and followed closely.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a vermilion courtyard gate.

Li Zhenzhen put her hands on the suitcase, her chest heaving violently. She looked at the door. In the silent alley, the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the two people.

"I hope I catch up..."

Li Zhenzhen calmed her breathing and was about to reach out to push open the gate when it automatically opened inwards.

Squeak——!

An ancient and low voice was heard. Zhang Zhengting, Lu Hu and others, who were also wearing cloaks and dragging suitcases, stood behind the door. When they saw Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo on the steps, they all froze in place.

The warm winter sun shines on the gray-white brick and tile surface, withered fallen leaves are spread on the ground, in front of this courtyard that has been deposited for countless years, two generations of night watchmen stare at each other, and the air falls into silence for a short time.

Zhang Zhengting was stunned for a while, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You're back?"

Li Zhenzhen opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't speak.

She took a deep breath, stood up straight, let go of the suitcase with her right hand, saluted the 006 team members on the steps, and said loudly:

"New recruit Li Zhenzhen! Come and report!"

Fang Mo was slightly startled when he saw this, and then he saluted immediately: "New recruit Fang Mo! Come and report!"

Both of them were new recruits assigned to Shangjing City. They also took over the duties of most of the 006 team and replaced them as the night watchmen guarding Shangjing.

Hearing this, everyone in Team 006 standing behind the door looked at each other and started laughing.

"Okay!" Zhang Zhengting dragged his suitcase down the stairs. He looked at the two of them with smiling eyes and returned the salute. "Little rookies, Shangjing City will be in your hands from now on. When we return victorious, we'll have another good gathering."

… We are leaving.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several members of Team 006, wearing cloaks, walked past Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo. They reached out and patted their shoulders, as if to encourage, to welcome... and also as if to say goodbye.

Leaves are flying in the air. In front of this courtyard gate that has witnessed countless reunions and partings, the will of two generations of night watchmen is passed on in this simple action.

Li Zhenzhen watched familiar faces leave one after another. She stood there blankly, waiting until their figures almost disappeared at the end of the alley before she suddenly came to her senses. Tears welled up in her red eyes. She turned around and shouted with all her strength:

"I'll wait for you to come back!!"

The remaining sound echoed in the silent alley. Faintly, Li Zhenzhen saw those figures waved their hands and disappeared at the end of her sight.

Rustle, rustle, rustle——!

Light footsteps were heard from behind the door.

Li Zhenzhen and Fang Mo turned their heads at the same time and saw a young man in a military coat standing behind the door, looking at the departing figures with a complicated expression.

He is the new king of this city and the captain of this brand new 006 team.

He looked down at the two of them and smiled slightly:

"I'm Chen Han. Please take care of me in the future."
