Lost supplies
Chapter 107
"What happened?" Wei Huan asked.
Mu Zhong was about to speak, but he saw the people in the car.
In addition to Ding Qi, the twins also returned to the car.
"Captain, deputy captain." Seeing the two people, the twins hurriedly stood up and greeted them.
They are not tall, have light and slightly curly hair, and have big eyes. They look soft and cute. It is hard to imagine that they could withstand such great pressure in District 1006.
Mu Zhong swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and briefly talked about the transfer of files.
The twins said that the Southwestern Army did not block their procedures, but the transfer of the files to the Northeastern Army required coordination between the two sides, which would take time, and they would probably have to wait until the day after tomorrow to set off.
While they were talking, Ding Qi was lying in the nest formed by the violent bear's body. In front of her was the lying Ben Wolf, who let her stroke his fur at will. The ghost crow was quietly sitting on the violent bear's head, drowsy.
This scene is extremely familiar. Ding Qi was like this in her previous life, and she really enjoyed interacting with her dark beast pet.
After finishing their business talk, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong hurried upstairs, closed the door, and Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong.
"Um, so what happened?"
Mu Zhong frowned slightly. "There's a problem with the legion's supplies. The supplies that were clearly documented are nowhere to be found when they're called upon. Not only are the energy tanks missing, but other items are missing as well. A lot of gold equipment is also missing."
Wei Huan hadn't considered this possibility. His eyes instantly turned cold. "Any direction for investigation?"
Mu nodded. "Commander Mu is currently investigating. The attacker holds a high rank within the Corps and possesses advanced hacking skills. He took advantage of the Northeast Army's chaotic period to tamper with the system. If Commander Mu hadn't been absolutely certain of the supplies' existence and had retrieved offline storage information for verification, who knows how long the attacker could have concealed the truth before being exposed."
Wei Huan thought: "After taking these things, does he intend to stay in the Challenge World and never come back? Someone from the War Clan?"
"Not sure." Mu Zhong shook his head. "Until the results come out, anything is possible."
Wei Huan lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that even though the Northeast Army had avoided the future of losing its commander-in-chief and falling, something like this would still happen.
Or maybe it actually happened in the previous life, but I was not qualified to know this secret information?
But no matter what, this matter is very unpleasant.
"We can't stay in the car today," Wei Huan said to Mu Zhong sternly. "Anyone who dares to touch the legion's supplies is either a powerful individual or a group of powerful parasites."
"Brother Xiaotian and Captain Wang have been called over. Xiaoyi has also done divination. But after you said that, I am still worried. Then go out."
"good."
When I returned to the room from the car, the lights were off and Zhou Xian had already gone to bed with her daughter.
The noise of the two people appearing startled Zhou Xian. She came out of the bedroom and looked at them quietly. Mu Zhong said, "We will stay at home tonight."
Zhou Xian thought of something and her expression turned serious. "I cleaned up your room yesterday. It's the guest bedroom..."
Wei Huan said directly: "I will stay in Mu Zhong's room for one night."
After settling on accommodations, the two took turns going back to the car to shower, and then returned to Mu Zhong's room.
This house was not the one Mu Zhong lived in since he was a child. He moved into this house after he grew up, so there are not many traces of his childhood there.
Wei Huan could only see Mu Zhong's childhood from a few photos placed on the desk.
The little one is very cute and happy, especially the photo of the one with missing teeth, which is so sloppy that it makes people want to rub it.
After staring at the photo for a while, he turned around and saw that Mu Zhong had already gotten into bed. The orange light from the bedside lamp shone on his face, and their eyes instantly hooked together. Everything here made the atmosphere ambiguous.
Especially since this bed was only 1.50 meters wide, when Wei Huan lay down on one side of the bed, his arm naturally stuck to Mu Zhong's arm.
It was so hot that it seemed to be burning on the tip of his heart.
"I've already entered the Professional Temple?" Mu Zhong pretended to be calm as he put down his phone and lay down on the bed. He said, "I'll turn up the ringtone. If there's a call, my mom will come in and call us."
Wei Huan nodded, watched Mu Zhong avoid his gaze, then closed his eyes again. He quickly relaxed and his breathing became light.
This is the state of entering the temple of profession.
Wei Huan also lay down. He originally wanted to go directly into the professional temple, but after thinking about it, he turned to look at Mu Zhong.
The orange light was too dim, but he could still see the lingering red on Mu Zhong's earlobe.
It seemed like they were the same, both nervous and expectant about this sudden intimacy.
Then Wei Huan's gaze shifted and fell on Mu Zhong's profile. His eyes rolled across his deeply defined profile, from his thick eyebrows to his high nose bridge, and finally fell on his tightly closed eyes.
Wei Huan allowed himself to do something he had wanted to do for a long time.
He used his fingertips to touch Mu Zhong's thick eyelashes, and the tingling and soft touch was just as he imagined.
He turned his hand over again and gently scratched Mu Zhong's cheek with the back of his second finger.
After being stuck in the car for more than a month, my wheat-colored skin is gone and it's a bit too white. Looking closely, there is no trace of sweat pores.
Mu Zhong was truly handsome. Judging from his features alone, he possessed a delicate androgynous demeanor, reminiscent of those idol stars before the advent of the world of challenge. However, he possessed a refined demeanor, a decisiveness, and a deep resilience that left no room for misinterpretation of his gender.
Wei Huan has never liked anyone.
He was miserable in his previous life, and he was very busy in this life, devoting himself to his career. He was suffocated by the dark beast, so he had no time to like others.
But at this moment, he knew very clearly that he had feelings for Mu Zhong.
The spot in my heart is incredibly soft. I want to just watch him until the end of time, and hold his hand until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble.
After finally scratching Mu Zhong's cheek, Wei Huan forced himself to concentrate.
Close your eyes and go to the big tomb.
After a day, the remaining undead who only received "attribute blessings" also recovered.
Wei Huan resurrected them all, and his spiritual power and energy were exhausted again. He lay on Dian Ma's back, letting Dian Ma patrol the mountain while he silently entangled with the tomb, allowing himself to sink deeper and deeper into the cemetery.
As if falling into an endless abyss, he vaguely saw the creatures in the tomb flash by.
As expected, they were indeed those high-level dark beasts, the seven-star two-headed hidden demon, the eight-star thought beast, and the nine-star dark beast king.
They were like the rulers of Hades and Hell, sitting high on their respective boundless thrones, with endless undead souls at their feet like a sea of bones. As their eyes opened and closed, they shattered and resurrected, shattered and resurrected again.
Finally, Wei Huan felt some powerful force at the deepest part of the abyss.
He couldn't see His appearance clearly, he only knew that He was more powerful than the King of Dark Beasts, His aura was as abyssal, and His existence was as dark as the underworld. Just the aura he felt from afar made Wei Huan's hands and feet cold, and his body seemed to be frozen.
Even more terrifying was that Wei Huan clearly felt the other person glance at him. That look carried a force like the destruction of the universe, tearing him apart and slicing him to pieces. In a short period of time, he died countless times...
"ah!!"
Wei Huan suddenly sat up, breathing hoarsely, and for a long time his consciousness remained in the process of his own death.
When I came to my senses, I saw that I was still in Mu Zhong's room.
He suppressed his pounding heart, tried to calm his breathing, and turned to look at Mu Zhong.
Anyone who enters the Temple of Career is like entering the deepest sleep. Unless they are woken up loudly, they will stay in the Temple of Career until the time is up.
Wei Huan's movement did not wake up Mu Zhong, but Wei Huan keenly felt that the dark atmosphere in the room was becoming thicker.
Moreover, he was unable to control the dissipation of dark energy, which was harmful to Mu Zhong.
In an emergency, Wei Huan made a prompt decision and returned to the car.
He believed that after Mu Chong woke up, he would see the beacon beside him and come to the car to find him.
Now, let’s take a look at what’s going on with this out-of-control dark power.
Wei Huan went directly to the training room on the third floor and closed the door tightly to prevent the dark power from getting out of control and affecting other crew members. At the same time, he could also make some attempts without restraint.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that there is no obvious change in one's attributes, and they are exactly the same as before entering the Professional Temple.
Until his eyes fell on the notes, [Dark energy is corroding...] is a note that every dark profession has. Xu Qingqiang also has it, but the familiar content has become [Dark energy is accelerating the corrosion...]
The word "speed up" has been added.
Wei Huan looked at the dark power on his arm, which was almost visible to the naked eye and was emerging like smoke.
Once again, he thought of that unobservable guy whose aura was so powerful that he was like a god.
So it was not an illusion. In the entanglement with the tomb, it seemed that I had hooked the tentacles of some powerful creature. It was just that the breath, like the nerve endings, was unbearable for me.
So, that guy is the owner of this tomb?
Wei Huan always thought that the owner of this tomb was the king of dark beasts, but now he no longer thinks so.
The breath of the Dark Beast King is nothing compared to this existence. In front of this existence, it is just a drop in the ocean, the bright moon and the firefly.
Wei Huan even suspected that he had touched the core of the "Law of Death" and that was why he met such a terrible guy.
Because there was no one to show him the way, he had to face it. After thinking it over again and again, Wei Huan decided to return to the tomb again.
This time when he returned, he discovered something different.
Flying monkeys with dragonfly wings were flying in the sky, and the ground of the cemetery was full of holes, and peeking out were dog-headed people hopping around like rabbits.
The dark beast that he had never seen before now appeared before his eyes.
Even the great tombs have become unfamiliar.
The moment Wei Huan appeared, they seemed to have received some kind of mysterious signal and looked over.
Without a second thought, Wei Huan entangled his spirit with a golden snub-nosed monkey-like flying monkey, trying to ignite the fire in its eyes.
The next second, my head felt like it was hit hard by a sledgehammer.
His eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the ground. Finally, Dian Ma supported him with her legs.
Wei Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked again, there was no trace of the flying monkey. His mental strength was damaged, and he failed to recruit a six-star monkey.
Apparently, his sequence was still too low, and the rules did not allow him to cross so many levels and recruit six-star beings.
Wei Huan set his eyes on the dog-headed man again.
They are both five-star beings. Since I can recruit the Lord of the Demon Eye, I can definitely recruit these dog-headed men.
In the following time, Wei Huan did nothing, and did not even try to entangle himself with the aura of the tomb. He concentrated on recovering his mental strength and dark power.
Time passes by every second.
It had been 24 hours since he came to the tomb.
The time ratio between the tomb and reality is 5:1, and the maximum time a person can stay in it at one time is 25 hours.
As he was about to be ejected, Wei Huan, who had recovered most of his condition, set his sights on those dog-headed men.
He remembered that when he recruited Brother Digger and Dianma, they took the initiative to come forward.
It would be great if I could recruit an elite during the initial recruitment.
Wei Huan conveyed the message that he wanted to recruit dog-headed people, and his eyes met with each dog-headed person.
But these dog-headed men only have the most common emotions in their minds. They are eager to be recruited and to leave this world of death, but they do not have smart brains and will not take the initiative to approach Wei Huan.
Wei Huan had no choice but to step on Dian Ma's long legs and continue moving forward, looking into the eyes of every dog-headed man.
It was not until half an hour later that he saw a huge dog-headed man that was over 1.5 meters tall.
This dog-headed man seemed to have some different emotions in his mind. After looking at Wei Huan for three meters, he walked towards him slowly, not looking excited.
But Wei Huan felt excitement and anticipation from his emotions.
Before Wei Huan could figure out why, he suddenly understood when seven little dog-headed men crawled out from both sides of its shoulders and the top of its head.
Because his ability is not enough.
This is a special one, perhaps an elite-level dog-headed man, but it has seven smaller dog-headed men. If you want to recruit it, you must recruit all seven smaller dog-headed men at the same time.
Wei Huan's condition has only recovered to 60%. Even in his prime, it is still unknown whether he can recruit eight gnolls at once, not to mention that he is only a half-baked one now.
And the time to leave is almost here.
Wei Huan had to convey to the other party that he would be back soon to take them away, and just in case, he asked Brother Diao'an to lead the Wolf to surround it.
Then before leaving, Wei Huan recruited nine Xiu Romas for the last time, consumed all of his dark power, and then left the tomb.
When my consciousness returned to my body, I found myself still in the training room. The black fog in my body was gone, but I felt listless and exhausted.
He originally wanted to lie down and sleep. He could not get used to this kind of headache that drained him, no matter how many times it came.
But before the fallen body could relax, it bounced up again.
Since there is no dark energy overflowing, he should be able to go back, otherwise Mu Zhong would be worried.
This is a feeling of concern. Wei Huan, who is used to being alone, feels it is a bit troublesome, but he doesn't mind it at all and does it willingly.
When I returned to Blue Star, it was already early morning, but the lights in the house were on and there was no one in the bed next to me.
Wei Huan touched it and felt the warmth, proving that the person was here not long ago.
At this time, Mu Zhong came in in a wheelchair, holding two glasses of water. Seeing him appear, he smiled without surprise: "I knew you would be back soon."
Wei Huan turned over and got out of bed: "Not surprised?"
"Isn't it obvious? There's too much dark energy left in the room. You must be afraid of affecting me so you went back to the car. We entered the Occupation Temple at the same time, so I guess you'll be out soon."
"You're so smart."
"It's hard to say whether I'm smart or not, but I do have good observation skills. So, did you know Ding Qi before?"
This sudden sentence almost hit Wei Huan's waist.
After a pause, clearly troubled, Wei Huan said, "Am I paying too much attention to her?"
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows.
Wei Huan didn't know how to explain, but he knew that Mu Zhong might not want an explanation, so he just gave an answer: "From now on, I will only pay attention to you."
A word that is not a confession, but is better than a confession.
After saying this, both of them were stunned.
Mu Zhong's eyelashes trembled, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take note of what Captain Wei said."
Wei Huan said, "Keep your word."
Mu Zhong handed over the water glass, and the two of them raised their glasses and clinked them together at the same time.
The crisp sound of "ding" was like a vow.
…
After the two came out of the Professional Temple, most of the time they would take a nap to restore their energy.
Tonight, both of them were worried about something and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, Mu Zhong pulled himself up and said, "You continue to sleep. I'll go to the legion."
"I'll go with you."
Mu Zhong thought about it and nodded. He knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Huan.
The noise of them leaving woke Zhou Xian up. She came out of the bedroom and closed the door. Seeing the two men dressed neatly and about to go out, she knew where they were going.
"Go ahead. Remember to call your dad on the way and ask him to arrange someone to pick you up, otherwise Wei Huan won't be able to get in."
"Um."
I went out and it was very cold outside.
It was just the beginning of spring, and there had been a heavy snowfall in the capital a few days ago. Now the snow had turned into ice and was melting dripping, making the ground slippery.
The cold air rushed into my nostrils and went straight to my forehead.
Even in the bustling capital, there are hardly any people on the streets in the early morning.
Only the street lights still emit bright light like loyal guards.
There is a small road leading directly to the military headquarters from the east gate of the compound, but Wei Huan still chose to drive.
It's too cold.
Although Mu Zhong's wounds had healed, he had obvious reactions to extreme weather. He thought Wei Huan wouldn't know unless he told him, but every time the environment was bad, his endurance dropped significantly.
This car was bought in a hurry and has not been modified, so Mu Zhong's wheelchair cannot be put into the car directly.
Every time he got on and off the car, Wei Huan held him in his arms, and Mu Zhong was always very quiet during the process.
Wei Huan knew that he was uncomfortable, but he inexplicably enjoyed being able to get close to Mu Zhong in this way.
Soon, they arrived at the headquarters and saw Commander Mu's adjutant waiting at the gate.
This adjutant was very familiar with Mu Zhong, and Wei Huan had also met him twice. After getting in the car, he said, "This investigation is still confidential. The commander intends to eliminate the termites in the military region, so there is no fanfare, and the progress is a bit slow.
All the evidence currently points to the head of the logistics department, who is currently on vacation. However, we all know that he couldn't handle such a large matter alone, and selling the stolen goods requires channels, so there's a huge network behind it."
Mu Zhong listened and said, "Could the Qinhu incident be related to them? I kept wondering how they could accurately predict our actions and set a trap. I've always suspected there was a traitor among us."
When Wei Huan heard the word "Qinhu", his grip on the steering wheel tightened a little.
He remembered his cousin Mu saying that Mu Zhong's legs were missing in Qinhu.
The adjutant was still communicating with Mu Zhong, and there was an atmosphere that Wei Huan couldn't get involved in.
In fact, more than a month ago, Mu Zhong was still the prodigy of Daxia, a genius that even other countries envied and wanted to secretly eliminate. He also held an important position in the Northeast Legion and knew and controlled a lot of confidential information within the legion.
What Wei Huan had seen recently was Mu's compromise after being seriously injured. No matter how strong he was, he lacked that sharpness because of his disability.
In his memory, the healthy Mu Zhong was like the scorching sun in the sky. At one point, he even made Wei Huan feel ashamed of himself.
Of course, as I grew stronger, this idea disappeared long ago.
He could now appreciate every shining point of Mu Zhong and proudly think, he is mine.
The car passed through a long section of the park road and finally arrived at the office building.
The lights on all three floors of the office building were on. Commander Mu was waiting in one of the offices for news. When they entered, Commander Mu was lying on his office chair, dozing. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you come here anyway?"
Mu Zhong said, "I'll accompany you and see if there's anything I can do. I'm a challenger now, and my physical fitness is very high. You can assign me some tasks that I couldn't do before."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Huan again. His expression was self-evident, as if to say that there was a "powerful foreign aid" here.
Wei Huan nodded: "If it comes to surveillance, my Ghost Crow should be more useful than the intelligence personnel."
Commander Mu said, "Okay, I'll call you if I need you."
Mu Zhong waited until the two of them finished their conversation before speaking again: "What are you waiting for now?"
Commander Mu glanced at the door and said, "Follow the clues. Since I have started to investigate, the news will definitely be exposed. When they can't help but move, there will definitely be more clues."
"Can we initially lock down a range? Are there any directions upstream and downstream?" Mu Zhong asked again.
Commander Mu waved the two men over and handed them a document to read.
Before Wei Huan could finish reading, Mu Zhong frowned and asked, "Shi Heng Group? Is this the latest investigation result?"
"Yes, we continued to track them down after you were injured, and we found them. They are professional brokers." Commander Mu said, "The population and land of Mulberry Country are small, so they can only arm themselves by smuggling equipment and supplies from Daxia. There are many forces in Mulberry Country that make a living from this. After the reshuffle of forces, the one that did the best was an organization called Shi Heng Group.
Before the Shi Heng Group arrived in the world of challenge, this family's company had already taken root halfway around Da Xia, and was strong in education, trade, and other fields. Therefore, their descendants had branches in both Da Xia and Mulberry Country, becoming one of the links between the two countries.
At this point, Commander Mu frowned and spoke in a cold voice: "As mercenaries, the Shi Heng Group has been cooperating with our Northeast Army in the past few years, jointly developing many ruins and relics. The cooperation has even expanded to Blue Star, helping us to conduct marine technology research and development with the Mulberry Kingdom.
For a long time, we didn't investigate the Shi Heng Group until evidence emerged that they were indeed acting as middlemen, profiting from both sides.
"Mr. Shi Heng." Upon hearing this, Wei Huan only said three words.
