Chapter 280 Return to the Level 6 World
Tian Wei Huan finished his training as usual and had just exited the Professional Temple when the AI Butler said, "Captain, Captain Mu has something urgent to tell you. He's waiting for you in the cab."
Wei Huan stood up from in front of the Dark Source Crystal and found that there was no one left of the group of criminals who usually sat around here.
The AI butler seemed to sense his confusion and explained, "Captain Mu, please inform everyone to return to their posts. The chariot is about to leave the chaotic space and is now awaiting your final instructions."
Wei Huan's brows suddenly frowned. If it weren't for an emergency, Mu Zhong would not have given such an order.
"what happened?"
"Not long ago, intelligence personnel traveling to and from Blue Star received a call for help from Osham. Their leader's chariot was in danger, and they hoped we could rescue him."
"A chariot from a level six world? Admiral Joshi's chariot?"
"Yes, Captain. It's Admiral Qiao Xi's tank. Because we delayed our return, Admiral Qiao Xi attempted to explore the sixth-level world, which led to a crisis. The Alliance pioneer army has set out to rescue him, but it seems that the rescue was not effective, resulting in more tanks being lost. He finally sent us a call for help."
Wei Huan had already flown out of the dark source room at this time.
There is one downside to upgrading the tank: the larger space means longer time on the road. Wei Huan inexplicably misses the time when the tanks were level two or three. The tanks were like RVs, and different space areas could be reached in just a few steps.
Perhaps the next upgrade will solve the traffic problem? Otherwise, it will be up to the drivers to find a way to solve the travel problem.
Wei Huan hurried to the driver's seat. On the way, he couldn't help complaining about the long distance. Even if he used the magic mist to fly, it would take some time to get there. As for the magic door, it only had two fixed coordinates. It would be a pity to waste it in the car just for daily travel.
Thinking that Admiral Qiao Xi and others were in danger, Wei Huan frowned and finally arrived in front of the cab.
As he flew over, he naturally attracted the attention of many people on the road. Some people who were rushing to their posts sped up and ran all the way, while others looked up at him with fanatical admiration until they could no longer see him.
When he arrived at the door of the cab, Mu Zhong, who had received the news, was already waiting there. The first thing he asked when he saw him coming was, "Did I disturb your practice?"
Wei Huan shook his head.
"I told the butler to wait until you finish your training before telling you. I've already done the preparations before departure, so the time should be about the same." Mu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "You should have learned the general situation from the butler. The details are that Admiral Qiao Xi and his chariot disappeared in the suddenly proliferating seabed material, and some of the people also fell."
Wei Huan was surprised: "You mean the jelly-like substance on the seabed?"
"Yes." Mu nodded. "The last time I met with Admiral Qiao Xi, we talked about the fact that the seabed is the lair of the remnants. I believe Admiral Qiao Xi will not take risks lightly. This is what I meant by proliferation. We have been away from the level 6 world for nearly two months. Obviously, these remnants are not honest and are hunting us in ways we can't imagine. They floated up from the seabed. Once we enter the level 6 world, we may immediately engage in combat. But don't worry, I have discussed it with the staff and have considered it thoroughly. In addition, we have upgraded the level 8 weapons first, which will be the key to our victory in this battle."
Mu Zhong talked all the way as they went to the commander's room.
Along the way, hundreds of crew members had already arrived at their posts. They stood up and saluted as soon as Wei Huan appeared, and then returned to their posts to continue working.
At this moment, Wei Huan was not only the captain of this chariot, but also the commander-in-chief of the Blue Star Alliance's pioneering army.
This will also be his first battle since taking office.
Wei Huan finally stopped in front of the commander's cabin, turned around and looked at the crew members who were watching him from behind. In their admiring and respectful eyes, Wei Huan said, "Tank, let's go!"
"yes!"
Following Wei Huan's order, the chariot that had been prepared long ago started its engine. After a brief slight vibration, there was no feeling inside the car, but the last procedure for the chariot to set off was completed. The next second, all the projection screens that could see outside the car saw that the fog was broken, moving backwards from slow to fast, until it dived into the black spot that appeared in front.
Travel through space!
Afterwards, they returned to the sixth-level world.
【Deep Sea World】.
After returning to the deep sea world, everyone felt different.
Looking at the bright and clear sea water in front of me, it seems that I can see the horizon at a glance in the atmosphere. The feeling of broad vision also appears in the sea water, and the oppressive feeling of coldness and darkness from the deep sea disappears.
Someone quickly realized, "Is it because we upgraded to level eight headlights?"
"That should be right. Level 7 headlights are higher than this world's and can already see very far. I didn't expect that level 8 headlights would directly make the seabed look like the sea surface, so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance. It's true that when the level is higher, all restrictions are no longer restrictions."
"With a sea like this, I feel like I can go on vacation, hahahaha."
After the sea water became clear, everyone's mood became very good. After all, seeing a monster from dozens of miles away is definitely better than seeing it right in front of you.
After a few simple jokes, everyone was restrained by the team leader and silence returned to the car.
This is a challenge to the world. If you underestimate the challenge to the world, you may fall flat on your face.
At this moment, Wei Huan was looking deep into the seabed through the projection screen in the car, and then his expression became slightly solemn.
At this moment, he finally understood what Mu Zhong meant by "proliferation".
The boundary gate of the sixth-level world should be in the central area of this sea area, at least in terms of height. Wei Huan, who has been to the sea surface and the bottom of the sea, can confirm that the distance between the two sides is about the same.
Now, they came out of the gate and looked up at the sea. It was still very far away and it would take a whole day at full speed to reach it.
However, the seabed has a very obvious sense of rising and approaching.
The dark oppression brought by the deep sea is like a monster with its mouth wide open, slowly swallowing upwards.
Wei Huan was not sure whether Admiral Qiao Xi was a greedy and reckless person, but in the sixth-level world, except for Wei Huan, no other car had the ability to explore easily. At least Admiral Qiao Xi would not be a person who ignored danger and did not take his life seriously.
However, if the survivors take the initiative to attack, and Admiral Qiao Xi's chariot level is not high enough to see the situation ahead clearly, there is a very high possibility that he will be "captured" by the survivors.
Even though Wei Huan's strength has now exceeded the "ceiling" of this world, he is still extremely wary of the survivors.
After all, this group of survivors is not just a group of fighters. They can weave "dream traps" and you may be deceived and trapped in them if you are not careful.
In his previous life, mankind fell in this world.
"Wei Huan." Mu Zhong's voice rang in his ears. Wei Huan came back to his senses and his eyes moved slightly downward to the right. Mu Zhong's face appeared on the virtual projection screen that he had opened at any time. The two of them still maintained a private connection.
Mu Zhong said, "Wait five minutes. Iron Heart is establishing contact with other tanks and will be handed over to the AI steward later. We need to understand the situation first."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded.
In less than a minute, the first figure appeared on the projection screen on the wall of Wei Huan's driver's cab. Wei Huan knew that he was the driver of the Big Bear Country. They had met on Blue Star not long ago.
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief." General Daxiong had changed his address at this moment. Even though he was 30 years older than Wei Huan, he had long been convinced by this young leader and had always been looking forward to getting his real leadership so that they could overcome all obstacles in this ocean.
Afterwards, more tank commanders came in. Within five minutes, Mu Zhong said, "All the tank commanders who could be contacted are here. There are 13 in total. There are still nine tanks that have lost contact. Among them, the "European, American and Asian Alliance" formed by Osam, the Fence Country, and the Three Kingdoms has almost all fallen into the trap of the survivors."
Wei Huan nodded, and saw on the projection screen that several drivers who were close to Da Xia and at odds with Osam all sneered in disdain.
This smile revealed many problems. If this pioneering army wanted to become bigger and stronger, the first thing it needed to solve was not the enemy problem, but the legacy problems brought from Blue Star by various countries.
However, Wei Huan did not care much. He held the highest power in the allied army. Those who caused trouble could be driven away directly. There was no need to weigh the pros and cons. Those who stayed had to pretend to be "united".
Wei Huan's face turned cold, and his displeasure could be felt even through the network. Immediately, several generals and tank commanders in the communication restrained their expressions. It was impossible for them to be in such a position that they could not even understand the expressions of their superiors.
Besides, when it comes to things like this, you can know the answer with just a little thought.
The Alliance Reclamation Army was officially established. As the commander-in-chief, he certainly did not want to see the fleets under his command fighting openly or secretly.
After everyone had adjusted their mindsets and expressions, Wei Huan said, "The meeting point has been sent to you. Please get there as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to go alone on this operation."
One of the drivers, who came from the Desert Kingdom, said: "I saw the meeting point, but we are far away from it and we cannot go there alone."
"If you're in danger, contact me. I'll arrange for a chariot to go there. Does anyone else have any questions?"
"Aren't you going to come pick us up? Let us go on this dangerous journey alone? We might be attacked before we even reach the meeting point."
"How did you get there?"
"Just follow everyone..."
"I'm going to rescue people now. I won't arrange for anyone to pick you up unless you're in danger and find a way to come here yourself."
"Uh..." Obviously, Wei Huan's "hands-off" behavior made the desert truck driver very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just nodded reluctantly, "Okay, got it."
Mu Zhong laughed in the private channel: "You are the commander-in-chief of the pioneering army, not anyone's nanny. It seems that there are always people who can't see these things clearly."
Wei Huan continued looking ahead and said, "One last time. Anyone have any questions?"
Everyone checked the coordinates of the meeting point again and replied, "No problem, we'll be there on time."
After Wei Huan confirmed it, he said to Mu Zhong, "Move towards the target."
This time, Mu Zhong's face said on the big screen: "Yes!"
Looking down from the chariot, the view is extremely wide, and you can clearly see the treasure chests that were previously invisible and refreshed thousands of meters away.
However, this time Wei Huan did not cause any trouble. He just continued to release the undead army on the way to the gathering.
Soon, the undead army filled the field of vision, and the sense of security was instantly maximized.
The "assembly point" is a location with the most suitable distance determined by AI by collecting the positions of everyone. Even if the desert vehicle driver is indeed the farthest away, as long as he is careful, there will be no problem in reaching the assembly point within the specified time.
Wei Huan took an hour to reach the meeting point.
We have entered a deeper part of the seabed. Looking down at the seabed, the black area seems to be getting closer, as if we are throwing ourselves into a monster's mouth.
Wei Huan glanced at the four chariots that had arrived here in advance and were waiting, and handed the communication work to Mu Zhong.
However, one of the Portuguese tank commanders said, "Hello, Commander. Has your tank already been upgraded to level seven? The upcoming battle may be quite dangerous. Can my crew and I request to temporarily board the tank?"
As soon as the words fell, the desert tank captain was the first to react exaggeratedly: "Oh no, this is not fair, it will take us two hours to arrive, and there are limited places on the commander's tank. We will be left out."
But the proposal was obviously very appealing. Several train captains ignored the desert train captain's objections and said, "Can we also apply for temporary boarding?"
"After the news of your tank being upgraded to level seven spread, most of my crew members and I have already secured spots on board. Can we board early?"
"Impossible. Daxia is currently reviewing the list for the second time, and there's no definitive response confirming who has passed the review. Commander Wei, we're only applying for temporary boarding, and once we're on board, we'll only be staying within the designated area. We won't cause you any trouble."
The desert driver said, "Damn it! I'll pay 30 billion Great Xia coins to buy temporary boarding rights for me and my crew!
Commander Wei, although Blue Star Technology is more in need of challenging resources, our oil-based daily structure has not yet been replaced. It will take a long time to completely replace it. Our assets are still valid and valuable. Please consider my deal.
"Being rich is such a big deal!" the Portuguese conductor scoffed. "You already said that the truly precious resources right now are the challenge supplies. Your money has already lost value."
"Exactly. Times are changing. Money is no longer everything. Besides, do you think Commander Wei is short of money? Who are you humiliating?"
"Damn it, I just wanted to show my sincerity and eagerness this way. I apologize if I offended Commander Wei, but please consider me. My family and I control the world's largest oil field. Not long ago, I even shipped a batch of crude oil to Daxia at the lowest price. You should know about this matter. I always maintain the highest respect for Daxia and you."
The others naturally objected immediately, but the desert tank captain kept expressing his wealth and apologies, and expressed his desire to get on the tank.
Unfortunately this is impossible.
There are too many rare and unique supplies in Wei Huan's chariot. These things are obviously not suitable for the crew members who have not yet gained enough trust to touch them.
So after feeling annoyed, Wei Huan simply said: "Daxia is currently reviewing it. I will get a list after it is finished. I hope everyone here can get on the chariot."
In other words, those who are not on the list obviously have not passed the review and have various problems.
When it comes to selecting people, Wei Huan trusts Uncle Mu and Commander Dong very much. The candidates who get on the car will not be merciful and cannot evade the country's intelligence. They must be challengers who absolutely meet the standards. Even if they come from other countries, they should have the awareness of fighting for all mankind.
Before everything becomes clear, Wei Huan has no interest in inviting a wolf into the house.
Wei Huan's words finally put an end to this meaningless argument.
At this moment, everyone felt deeply sad and distrusted.
The desert truck driver left the camera directly and disappeared from Wei Huan's sight.
The driver from the Big Bear Country, who had the best relationship with Wei Huan, nodded to Wei Huan. He expressed his understanding of Wei Huan's decision, but he was also hurt no less than anyone else.
Some even contacted Mu Zhong individually, saying sadly, "This is not the pioneering army I want. This feeling of not being trusted is too sad. If this is our future, I would rather withdraw my application.
Please listen to me. I don't want to curse you, but if the Reclamation Army remains so indifferent, I'm afraid it won't be able to become the beacon of the Blue Planet as we wish."
Mu Zhong listened carefully to the other party's complaint, then smiled and said, "So I want to ask, have you done anything to deserve our trust?"
“…” The driver on the opposite side suddenly had a ferocious expression on his face.
Mu Zhong continued to smile. "You've followed us through the road tests, explored this world with us, and have always been under our protection. What decisions have you made for us that would increase our trust? Captain, if you can't gain our trust, the pioneering army may not be able to keep you."
"You...young man, don't be so arrogant. The power of a few people has its limits after all."
Mu Zhong laughed and said, "But what you've been arguing with me about so far is not how to get us to protect you? Isn't it because we are strong enough?"
"Hmph!" Another driver left in anger.
When Mu Zhong turned around, a cold look appeared in his eyes, and his contemptuous smile was just seen by Wei Huan. The two chatted privately, and Mu Zhong talked about this matter.
"...Do you think complaining to me will have any effect? If we can't maintain absolute unity of thought, our tanks will only become mired in internal friction. Why can't you see through this?"
Wei Huan said, "Perhaps it's because they have always lived in this environment."
Mu nodded and sighed, "Indeed, this is a common problem. To prevent the train captains from becoming too powerful, the authorities in various countries often send management with different opinions on board the trains, just to monitor and contain these train captains. This also makes them think that our relationship is the same as theirs."
"Children raised in deception will question the entire world." Wei Huan finished his words and said, "Just cross this conductor and his crew off the list. Crew members like these who grew up in deception shouldn't be sent on the train."
"Okay." Mu Zhong sighed. "Some people don't realize that an impulsive move could ruin their future, but your decision is absolutely correct. I fully support it. We don't need people with such flawed personalities on our chariots."
The two drivers who were driven away from the camera returned to Wei Huan's sight soon after. Perhaps they had adjusted their mood, or perhaps not. Wei Huan didn't care.
The time for gathering was approaching, and four vehicles had not arrived yet, especially the chariot from the Desert Country, which was the farthest away, and they were moving at almost a snail's pace.
Wei Huan looked at the clock. When the agreed final time arrived, he spoke without a second's delay: "Let's go. Follow me closely. I will activate the protective shield to allow you to enter and directly reach the place where the signal from Admiral Qiao Xi's chariot last disappeared."
There were four tanks that had not arrived yet. The tank commanders did not say anything this time because Wei Huan announced the action without waiting for them. They remained silent, and one could see a test of Wei Huan in their eyes.
It's not that they don't obey Wei Huan, it's just that his long-term dedication has been taken for granted by them. Now that Wei Huan has become the supreme commander of the Blue Star Alliance's pioneering army, everyone wants to know how Wei Huan will manage this legion. Will he care for it like raising a child, or will he discipline it strictly? Or will he and Mu Zhong play the bad guy and the good guy like in the "Adventure Alliance" they established before?
Of course, there are also those drivers who followed Wei Huan all the way to the sixth-level world. They always have the dream of being "founding heroes", hoping that they are special and can be valued and treated differently.
But Wei Huan, who had just taken office, had three major tasks to do, and the last thing he wanted was this kind of special treatment.
It was a private alliance before, and he brought them here to participate in some harmless missions in exchange for a large amount of supplies from him. The payment was already made in cash, and he didn't owe anyone anything.
Now that the Alliance Legion has been established, it has something to do with the destiny of the human race, and we cannot be careless at all. If all of our subordinates have such a careless character and want to use this to coerce and gain something, then we must not let them stay.
Wei Huan chose to set off with the nine chariots that had already arrived.
Now including Wei Huan, there are a total of 23 tanks, 9 of which fell into the trap of the survivors, 4 passively refused to participate in the mission, and the remaining 9 tanks entered the protective shield of Wei Huan's tank, which has reached level 7, and sank into the deep sea.
As they left, Mu Zhong ordered the AI butler to cut off the communications with the four chariots, making it inconvenient to observe the subsequent actions.
One of the chariots whose communication was cut off contacted Mu Zhong again to argue with him, and the remaining three simply escaped into the void on the spot. The sixth-level world was still too dangerous for them. There was no need to risk their lives in a battle of wits and courage with this young legion leader.
Mu Zhong looked at the desert truck driver with a piece of cloth on his head and felt a little helpless. He hadn't realized before that this guy was actually a fool.
The desert driver didn't seem to realize that he had been eliminated, nor did he realize that his behavior was disliked by Wei Huan. Or perhaps the dislike was not the point. The point was that he had a lot of anger and grievances that he hadn't vented, and he entangled Mu Zhong.
