Chapter 187 Qinglong Reclamation Group
Thor is fighting.
The attacks were methodical, and the movements looked neither flashy nor did they cause exaggerated damage. In comparison, the battle of Xu Qingqiang, who had transformed into a demon, was much more exciting.
If all else fails, there's Captain Xue who's being chased and attacked by the king-level jellyfish. It'll be interesting to see how he escapes.
One minute later...
Wei Huan suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had not known when his eyes had shifted away from Hammer Brother and had completely ignored him.
Looking at Thor's battle again, he actually achieved considerable results. The backs of the jellyfish kings that he chased and attacked were covered with scars, and two of their tentacles were also cut off by him.
But not to mention that Wei Huan looked away, even the jellyfish king who was being chased and attacked by him seemed to have forgotten that there was a guy behind him, and was only concentrating on beating Captain Xue.
Captain Xue: "Ouch! Oh my god! Damn it! I dug up your ancestors' graves and chased me to beat you up!"
Wei Huan: “…”
Suddenly I realized that having a low sense of presence also has its advantages.
The jellyfish royal family collapsed to the ground with a thud. Captain Xue, covered in wounds, limped back, muttering, "Damn it! Are farmers born with the ability to taunt? So many undead are chasing me, my old waist is hurting!"
Hammer silently put away his axe, put away his fame and honor, walked in the middle of the team in a low-key manner, returned to the car, and went straight into the kitchen.
Wei Huan: “…”
It's quite bizarre.
Besides, Captain Xue’s talent is not that he has a sarcastic face, right?
It is truly invincible to be able to meet Thor in such a vast crowd.
After watching the lively scene, Wei Huan decided to pay more attention to his crew members, maybe he could dig out some more talented people.
After walking a little further, it was 12 o'clock.
The system sent a confirmation message. As long as you reach line 80, you can choose to teleport, which means you have passed the level and entered the level 5 world.
Wei Huan guessed that the 122 people might be members of the Zhan Clan, but there was nothing he could do. Now they could not contact the outside world and could not stop them.
I can only complete my challenge as soon as possible and see if they will show up outside the door later.
Wei Huan and Jacques' cars are both level five cars that can travel in the deep sea. The harsh environment of the test road will not affect their speed.
As scheduled, shortly after dawn the next day, Wei Huan finally reached the finish line again.
At this time, the waves were surging, with the peaks reaching 200 meters, and were gradually turning into the environment of the edge of the world.
The rising tide was slowly engulfing the island. The already small sea area was being swept up by the wind and waves with the fishy and salty sea water, turning it into a rainstorm. The bean-sized raindrops "crackled" against the protective shield, occasionally emitting a flash of purple light.
"Let's go." Wei Huan answered Jacques' video call and said this.
Jacques bowed again and said, "Thank you. I'm glad to have you along the way."
"I told you not to be polite. It's just a deal." After saying this, Wei Huan turned his gaze away and looked towards the finish line not far away. "Go ahead."
Once again, they crossed the finish line.
This time, the entire chariot passed through the flag completely and then disappeared from this world.
…
The view ahead blurred, and when I came back to my senses, I saw a clear sky and a calm sea.
I saw the surging sea behind me, soft gravel under my feet, lush green trees in front of me, and a quiet crescent-shaped bay that looked like a magazine photo appeared in front of me.
On the beach, there were more than ten chariots parked, all with the logo of the Great Xia Qinglong Legion painted on them. After seeing them appear, all the chariots approached at the same time, and then the communication was connected.
Wei Huan agreed to the video call. The person who appeared in front of the screen made him feel refreshed and he straightened his back subconsciously.
"Uncle Mu."
The person who appeared in the picture was Mu Dehao.
After spending more than half a year, they finally met for the first time in Challenge World.
Mu Dehao looked Wei Huan up and down, then smiled brightly: "Okay, okay, it's good that you're here safely, it's good that you're here!"
Wei Huan nodded, unable to hide his excitement.
In fact, every time Wei Huan and Mu Chong crossed the assessment road, it was very painful for their elders and parents.
Even though their safety status can be seen from the beacon, given the danger level of the challenge world, it is normal for someone to be safe and sound one moment and suddenly die the next.
This time, Mu Dehao also asked Wei Huan, Mu Zhong and others several times about the beacon situation in the Qinglong Legion challenge room.
Mu Dehao, who was originally in charge of world development and was too busy to leave, just suppressed his worries and continued to stick to his post.
Yesterday at noon, at 12:00 AM, the day after the assessment highway opened and the unified teleportation time had arrived, the Qinglong soldiers stationed there to pick up the people witnessed three vehicles teleporting out. However, before they could approach to inquire about the situation within the world, the three vehicles withdrew from the challenge world, leaving them no time for conversation.
Wei Huan didn't come out.
He always comes out early, even a day or two early.
Even if you don't come out of the fourth-level world early, those who leave at 12 o'clock will explain the situation inside, so those waiting outside will not worry.
This time is different. Wei Huan has already taken a great risk to enter the challenge world. In order to avoid accidental injuries, the Qinglong Legion has spent a lot of money on advertising. The situation can be said to be unprecedentedly serious.
They waited like this for ten days. When it was time for the unified transmission at the assessment time, not only did Wei Huan not come out, but the three cars that came out disappeared from the spot without saying a word and returned to the crack of time.
How can this not make people worry and have wild thoughts?
Mu Dehao put down his work and rushed over, which led to the current scene.
The commander of the legion came to pick them up in person. With such a caring heart for their family, no one could find fault with him.
Only Jacques, who came out later, frowned after seeing this familiar scene.
He thought of his own deputy, who was won over by the powerful through marriage.
It seems that this kind of Game of Thrones is everywhere.
Out of courtesy, Jacques contacted Wei Huan and said goodbye to Mu Zhong, and Mu Zhong invited him to rest in the Qinglong Legion.
Jacques said, "Agris is waiting for me. I'll visit the Azure Dragon Legion next time I'm free. This is the 200,000 points I promised you. See you later."
"Goodbye." Mu Zhong smiled and watched him leave.
Xu Qingqiang remembered something and suddenly said, "My buffet!"
Mu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then remembered what the buffet he was talking about was - the Platinum Magic Flute.
"Do you really need it? I can trade with him directly." Mu Zhong asked.
Xu Qingqiang curled his lips. "Now that you mention it, I feel embarrassed to say I really need it. Hehe, actually, I don't really need it. Instead of asking for that broken flute that costs points, you might as well call that fat thief back."
Mu Zhong smiled: "Okay, I'll contact them right away." After that, he stood up and said, "But now Wei Huan and I have to report on our work. Can I let someone else do it?"
"Okay, okay." Xu Qingqiang thought about it and said, "I don't need to go, right?"
"If you like."
"No, I'm not good at interacting with officials. You guys can go. Everything is fine here. I need to get a good sleep."
Speaking of this, Wei Huan, who was about to leave, asked him, "Have you found a way to speed up your advancement? What benefits will attribute growth bring to you?"
"I think it makes me more powerful." Xu Qingqiang said, "But the method of accelerating the sequence improvement is probably not that simple."
Wei Huan felt a little regretful, but he also knew that it was not good to always think of shortcuts. There was no fast track to cultivation, and only by making solid progress could one achieve higher achievements.
After Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang separated, they went to Mu Dehao's command car with Mu Zhong.
Also going there were Captain Xue representing the Azure Dragon Legion and Mu Han representing the Mu family.
Mu Dehao is a wise man, but only at the level of a great wizard. He is busy with work and has no time to practice. This is the level he reached after being a challenger for seven and a half years and being dragged and pulled.
However, his command vehicle is of level five, and the protective shield, vehicle shell and external crash barriers have all been upgraded to level six, focusing on being sturdy and protecting the leader.
There are also many strong people on the car. There are now 22 Sequence Five warriors, and the others are also queuing up waiting for advancement.
However, like Wei Huanche, Mu Dehao, as the logistics director, carries with him mostly logistics personnel who are not good at fighting. They are mainly outstanding talents from various fields such as military science, architecture, economics, and business management.
A quarter ago, Mu Dehao led a large army through the fifth-level assessment, also with 2,000 chariot guards. This was not only to upgrade the chariots that were sent to the front line, but also to protect the legion's prime minister who was not good at fighting.
Mu Dehao did not stop at the exit. After meeting them and introducing a group of his confidants to Wei Huan, he ordered his troops to return.
He is busy with work, and he can take time out to wait here because of his father's love.
Seeing Mu Zhong wearing the prosthetic limbs he had bought at a high price and walking steadily, and seeing the healthy and handsome son in his memory standing in front of him again, Mu Dehao's eyes were a little red.
It has been more than three months since the last time they separated.
However, Mu Zhong's mind was temporarily elsewhere.
He stopped Mu Dehao and said, "Wait a minute, Commander Mu, don't leave yet. I want to confirm. Did you see two cars teleported out yesterday?"
Mu Dehao nodded: "Three."
"Arrange a few vehicles to keep an eye on it. We suspect it's the getaway car."
Mu Dehao raised his eyebrows, then frowned after hearing Mu Zhong's explanation: "Has the War Clan finally extended its reach to the fifth-level world?"
Then he looked out of the car. After leaving the big island, they were driving on the ocean. It seemed calm, but monsters might appear at any time.
Then his expression relaxed and he smiled, "This is a level five world, a level five world that has caused so much suffering to everyone. It's too difficult to take root and build a city here."
Wei Huan also made a listening gesture.
Regarding the fifth-level world, he had only heard in his previous life that building a city on an island was a bit difficult because...
"Because our Great Xia has a large population, building a city requires a large area of land. However, there are powerful monsters on large islands. If we want to capture an ideal island, the cost will be beyond imagination.
What we are building now is not so much a city as it is a stronghold. This is the case with all pioneering teams. The room for development is limited by the monsters' combat power."
Wei Huan nodded. He knew about this, and in his previous life, he had restricted Da Xia for more than a year before he obtained an ideal stronghold.
There is a very regrettable thing here. There is an island with a very good geographical location and a large area. It was called Atlantis City after it was built in the previous life, but it was acquired by Osam first.
Osam and the survivors of the fifth-level world joined forces to jointly develop the island, so they named the island Atlantis.
It was precisely because Osam successfully cooperated with the Remnants that other countries believed that the Remnants were trustworthy, which led to humanity finally suffering a major setback at the hands of the cunning Remnants.
But now humans have only reached the fifth-level world and do not have much desire for large islands. According to their current combat capabilities, they are more willing to occupy small islands.
Small islands and the area within 20 nautical miles are the occupier's territory.
The reason for limiting it to 20 nautical miles is very simple. This is the maximum distance that advanced AI can scan. If it is farther away, it cannot be controlled, so there is no need to occupy it.
In addition to gaining a stronghold, the biggest gain from occupying a small island is the resources refreshed around the stronghold, which will be automatically regarded as the property of the occupier.
If someone tries to cross the line, it is tantamount to declaring war.
Over there, Mu Dehao also patiently and meticulously told them his understanding and plans of the fifth-level world without reservation.
Wei Huan listened carefully. There were still significant discrepancies between the world Mu Dehao described and the one he remembered. But he thought that reality was harsh, and that seeds had to adapt to the pressure of the boulders and grow distortedly. Humanity's plans for progress couldn't remain static.
As he was speaking, he heard the butler AI in the commander's car say, "Commander Mu, we have arrived at our destination."
Did it arrive so soon? It seemed like only half an hour.
It seems that humans are making very slow progress in challenging the world.
Wei Huan looked up at the projection screen hanging above the square hall and saw that they had indeed arrived at an island.
The island covers an area of about 800 square kilometers. There are three mountains with a height of about 2,000 meters in the middle of the island. The rest of the island is rolling hills with lush trees, and it looks like it has not been developed much.
The base of the Qinglong Legion is built at the foot of a large mountain on the outside. It has an excellent location and can better withstand the sea breeze. The terrain can also be used to build a city wall defense system, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Wei Huan was not an expert in this area, he just took a look and looked elsewhere.
The construction of this supply point is nearing completion. The area inside the city is about the size of 18 football fields. There should be buildings underground, and many cars are going in and out of the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot.
There are not many buildings on the ground, most of which are used to build weapon bases.
In the challenging world, survival is more important than life. Before we can better resist the beast tide, the ground is only used for military purposes.
A city like Qinglong in the fourth-level world can be built into a futuristic city that combines high technology and fantasy. Of course, this is because humans can already live very safely there.
By comparison, we can see more clearly the hard work of the level 5 world pioneering team.
When the commander's car returned to the base, many people ran out from the duty points on the ground or the elevators in the underground city and waited on the parking apron.
They were dressed uniformly and lined up neatly. The key point was that at a glance, almost all of them were Sequence Five.
High-Sequences have a deterrent effect on low-Sequences. Although it's hard to describe, when a Sequence Four sees a Sequence Five, they'll immediately notice that the other party is stronger than them.
Even Wei Huan, who could actually beat all of these people down, was shocked when he saw them for the first time.
However, the sequence is the sequence, and the real combat power is the real combat power.
The car door opened, Mu Dehao walked in front, and signaled Wei Huan to follow him closely.
Wei Huan looked down at the Blue Dragon Medal on his chest, and after confirming that the illusion of the legion uniform was activated, he took a deep breath and followed Mu Dehao.
He originally planned to fall behind half a step, or even one step, but Mu Dehao took two steps and waved to him, so Wei Huan understood and walked side by side with him.
They walked to the front of the line and just as they aligned themselves with the first person in the line, they heard a loud shout: "Salute!"
With a "swish" sound, a neat military salute was performed, and everyone looked at Wei Huan with enthusiasm and excitement.
Mu Dehao smiled and said, "They have been expecting you to come for a long time. These days, you have been the most searched topic in our pioneering team in the assessment world. We can hear you everywhere we go. They are worried and expectant.
Now that you're here, you can go home. Go back and have a good rest. I'll organize a dinner party for everyone to have a good time together."
Wei Huan nodded, he knew that what Mu Dehao said was true.
There are many people here whom he has met in the Blue Star Azure Dragon Legion. Although not everyone has spoken, Wei Huan can always feel their kindness, and their love and respect for him are genuine.
Places like the Legion are boring, hard, and dangerous, but only when you are in such an environment can you discover how straightforward and pure they are.
Wei Huan likes it, he likes it very much.
In this way, they walked through the welcoming queue and arrived at the elevator entrance.
This design is a bit like the War Clan, but in fact, it is a regular process of building a city in the world of challenge by first besieging the city, then building a dungeon, and finally developing from underground to the ground.
I took the elevator down to the basement level, and when I came out it was brightly lit. There were endless cars parked in the parking lot.
The cars are neatly arranged into different areas, with a wide road in the middle that can accommodate 10 cars running in parallel at the same time.
Neat six-story buildings can be seen on both sides of the mainland. Wei Huan knows that these are not only the buildings of the underground city, but also the pillars supporting this level of the underground city.
People can be seen on the streets and in the buildings. Unlike the cities in the real world, this place has a more obvious sense of a military camp.
The people coming and going had serious expressions and walked hurriedly. Everyone seemed to be traveling with a purpose, and there was no one doing nothing.
Mu Dehao chose to walk them on purpose to get to know the city's environment, but not long after he left, his adjutant received a call and whispered something in his ear.
He said helplessly, "Let's talk about it after the tour. Let's go back to the office building first. I have too many things to do. After you have rested enough, I will arrange for someone else to show you around."
Wei Huan said: "I don't need to rest. If there is any task, you can assign it to me directly."
Mu Dehao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you don't rest, the people in your car will also need to rest. After going through life and death, your family will also be worried."
Wei Huan knew that Mu Dehao meant well, but still said, "I'll arrange for them to take turns resting. I don't need to rest." He paused, his eyes sweeping across Mu Dehao and Mu Zhong's faces. He didn't say it out loud, but the two people he looked at knew that all his important family members were here, and he didn't need to go anywhere.
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and smiled.
Wei Huan also smiled, took Mu Zhong's hand, inserted his fingers into his fingers, and when he was embarrassed and wanted to pull away, he held him with greater strength.
Then, he looked at Mu Dehao, who had a fatherly smile on his face.
This was the first time that Wei Huan showed their feelings so clearly and firmly in front of his elders.
Mu Dehao was relieved about this.
The reason why he asked Wei Huan for help was because of the prophecy that only he could save his son, so he was so shameless as to ask for marriage.
But now all the worries are gone. Seeing the sweet relationship between the two and their successful life, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.
When he gets home, he has to praise his wife... Well, he misses his wife.
Seeing the children showing affection in front of him, Mu Dehao just smiled and said, "If you don't want to rest, at least sit with me for a while and drink some water. Let's go."
Wei Huan nodded and pulled Mu Zhong forward. Mu Zhong's ears turned red. They were a colonel and a lieutenant colonel, so it was not proper for them to be pulling and tugging at each other. But, but...
Before I knew it, I had walked all the way to the office building of the pioneering corps, and then I let go of the hand.
My palms were sweaty, and when I separated them, they felt so hot that they seemed to be stuck together. The fastened joints made a "clicking" sound, and it took some strength.
The pioneering army office building is the largest and most central building in this dungeon.
It is an office building built around pillars. The "U-shaped" space is large and has many rooms. There are not many civilian staff in the pioneering team that challenges the world, so everyone has a large office area.
Mu Dehao's office is on the sixth floor, and he can take the elevator directly upstairs. It was quiet all the way up the stairs as if there were not many people around, but when the elevator door opened on the sixth floor, he saw more than a dozen people waiting outside the door, each of them looking anxious.
"Commander Mu, my business..."
"Commander Mu, you're finally back..."
"Commander Mu, there's a problem with the development of Area B3..."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were instantly pushed away by the crowd, and then Mu Dehao was surrounded by a group of people. He was almost carried by someone and was forced into the office.
A large group of people were in the office, all vying to report their work first.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the sofa outside the office, and they simply sat down.
Soon, they found important information from the chaotic noises.
There are three in total.
The first is that an accident occurred during the development of the island, people died, or the emergency evacuation failed to complete the mission.
The second is that a large island was discovered. After the small supply points on the island were developed, a golden ruin was left. Daxia organized a pioneering team to go there, but they ran into the pioneering team of Osham. Neither side gave in and they had persisted for a week. Now the conflict was intensifying due to verbal quarrels between the soldiers.
The third reason is that there were more or less some accidents during the construction of the other two strongholds, which made it impossible to proceed with the construction project. The key point was that some soldiers were sacrificed, which was the most unbearable.
Wei Huan is looking forward to each of these three, hoping that he can receive a task that he is confident he can complete.
However, until Mu Dehao temporarily resolved all the problems and sent everyone away, he did not mention calling Wei Huan in.
Wei Huan was new here, so it was even harder for him to speak. He waited for over an hour before Mu Dehao finally came out of his office. He looked at the two of them and said, "Don't worry. It's a very common thing. It's my job. Everyone's used to it."
Wei Huan knew that it was difficult to open up new land, but he still frowned: "Do people die often?"
