Qi Jialu was attacked
Chapter 93
Mu Zhong was stunned when he pushed open the door, and even forgot why he came up here.
His eyes quickly swept over Wei Huan's vague, strong and muscular body.
My first reaction was to put my hand in the water and feel the temperature.
It's cold already.
How long has it been in the water?
How tired must you be to sleep so soundly?
"Wei Huan, wake up."
Mu Zhong's voice was extremely gentle, for fear of scaring people awake. It was a rare opportunity to rest, and he hoped that Wei Huan could go back to bed and continue sleeping.
But no matter how gentle he was, Wei Huan woke up immediately the moment he was awakened.
As his dark eyes opened and closed, it was as if he was going through all the experiences of two lifetimes.
Then he held onto the bathtub and stood up.
“Clatter…”
Mu Zhong leaned back, his pupils contracted in his wide-open eyes, and his gaze began to wander left and right.
He pursed his lips and his Adam's apple rolled.
Perhaps Wei Huan had not really woken up the moment before.
But now, because of the special aura that Mu Zhong suddenly exuded, Wei Huan woke up completely.
"What's up?"
Wei Huan said this calmly, stepped out of the bathtub, took the bath towel and wrapped it around his waist.
When he turned around again, his back, which had been tense and with clear lines, slowly relaxed.
"Oh, right," Mu Zhong said after being reminded, "Qi Jialu just sent a message saying that after nightfall, they were attacked by the Dark Beast Squad. Over 300 vehicles in the convoy were destroyed. She warned us to be careful, as there is another Dark Beast Squad on the move."
Wei Huan frowned: "Didn't Xu Qingqiang feel it?"
"I'm afraid in his mind, the Dark Beast Squad is no longer a problem, so he didn't give any warning beforehand."
Wei Huan thought, maybe he had to hide his strength, otherwise it would be a waste of Xu Qingqiang's radar function.
Then again, Wei Huan asked, "Have you confirmed the members of the Dark Beast Squad?"
"It's confirmed. It shouldn't be the three that escaped." Mu Zhong said, "It's the same as the digging team we encountered before. The two-headed hidden demon led the dog-headed men to dig a pit. Qi Jialu was using time magic to hurry on. The trap appeared in the middle of the convoy, directly sinking more than 2,000 vehicles.
When Qi Jialu and his men rushed over, more than 50 vehicles had already been damaged. The other party did not fight and ran away when they saw them coming. They were not caught the first time.
"There's a second time?" Wei Huan heard it.
"Wait, they are traveling in the middle of the night?" Wei Huan heard something wrong again.
Mu Zhong said, "Qi Jialu's abilities are perfect for this kind of forced march. She can leave whenever she wants, without worrying about whether other vehicles are already started."
After Mu Zhong finished explaining, he continued, "Qi Jialu didn't catch the Dark Beast Squad, and probably felt it was too dangerous to stay, so she continued moving forward without stopping.
It turned out that there was a bigger pit ahead, and the dark beasts had placed watchtowers, catapults, and explosives at the bottom of the pit.
Just five minutes ago, there was heavy damage, with over 300 vehicles lost. Qi Jialu's deputy driver reported the incident to us and told us to be careful.
Wei Huan nodded after listening.
Now we know that there is still a group of dark beasts roaming outside, which is like the "second shoe" dropping.
Whether taking the initiative to attack or waiting for the other party to attack, it is estimated that as long as this dark beast team is killed, the road ahead will be smooth.
As for the final boss, it is not necessary to fight him.
Most people in the team only want to cover 80% of the distance and pass with a low score.
When the time comes and these burdens are gone, Wei Huan can go and see the level of high-star dark beasts, and avoid being in a hurry in random challenges.
"Is Qi Jialu responsible for the dead and injured challengers?"
"Yes, the former military leader has taken over the resettlement, but there are also some tough guys over there, and negotiations are necessary."
Wei Huan sneered: "What's the result?"
"I don't know. We're still discussing it, but the approach they're taking is the same as ours. Saving lives is the priority."
Wei Huan nodded and didn't listen any further. He didn't want to waste his energy on such a tug-of-war, but others might not share his views. Besides, that was Sister Lu's territory, so he couldn't extend his hand too far.
After the two men finished their business, Wei Huan was completely dry.
I was not wearing any clothes, just a bath towel around my waist. I didn't feel anything when I had something to say, but when I fell silent, I felt awkward.
Wei Huan raised his hand, took the robe from the hanger and put it on. He was covered from head to toe in black satin.
It looks like a piece of cloth randomly thrown on, but it is platinum-grade clothing after all, and it has the ability to automatically adjust when worn.
It outlines Wei Huan's broad shoulders and narrow hips, making him look gentle and handsome, yet brave and tall.
The black color also exacerbated Wei Huan's sense of distance.
The moment the clothes were put on, it was as if the king sitting on the throne had returned, and the whole person's aura became a little colder.
Mu Zhong felt a little regretful for no reason.
It was difficult for him to describe how he felt after he could no longer see Wei Huan's body.
But he was indeed curious and embarrassed, wanting to see it but not wanting to see it at the same time.
This is not normal. They are both men. The fact that he avoids looking at his body means that he does not regard him as a simple homosexual.
He regarded him as his lover. He was indeed attractive to him.
At least, until now, he still wanted to hug him.
Looking away regretfully, Mu Zhong asked him, "Did you fall asleep just now? You slept for almost three hours."
"Um."
"Next time, I'll have the housekeeper keep an eye on it and keep adding hot water, so I won't catch a cold."
"You won't catch a cold."
Human beings have evolved to this level. Previous viruses are no longer able to defeat the human immune cells, and many diseases can be cured without medicine.
"And you don't take off your glasses when you shower. I remember when you were in the first-class car, you even took off your glasses when you slept."
This remark hit the mark, and Wei Huan felt a little embarrassed. He indeed cared more and more about his appearance.
Mu Zhong is very handsome. Men will praise his good-looking face, especially his eyes, which are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off him.
So every time Wei Huan looks at himself without his glasses, he always feels bad.
Why did he ask Mu Zhong to take off his glasses before? He himself didn't know whether he was trying to prove something.
Mu Zhong's gentle and calm demeanor soothed him, but it also made him even more reluctant to see himself beneath the mask.
He put his equipment back on bit by bit while chatting with Mu Zhong intermittently.
High-level equipment does not need to be cleaned, as it has built-in dust removal functions. Even platinum-level equipment can slowly repair itself.
Like a biological fabric of an advanced civilization.
Even if you accidentally make a hole, it will be gone in a couple of days.
Beyond the technology of Blue Star, we only know that these special equipment in the challenge world are "alive" and cannot be forcibly changed. Once you try to disassemble and integrate the equipment, the equipment will quickly "die".
There are many secrets to challenge the world.
Human technology is simply incapable of discovering the truth, and we can’t even understand it.
My thoughts drifted away for a moment before I heard Mu Zhong say, "...Then you rest. I'll go downstairs. I'll come up and call you if anything happens."
Wei Huan nodded, walked to the bedside, and saw that Mu Zhong was still there.
Their eyes met, Mu Zhong controlled the wheelchair forward, came in front of Wei Huan, and opened his arms.
Wei Huan didn't think much about it. He half-knelt on the ground and hugged Mu Zhong.
"Sweet dreams." Mu Zhong whispered in his ear.
Wei Huan's lips curled slightly, "Yeah."
Just like a loved one saying goodnight, a hug without any desire, Mu Zhong's expression remained normal when he left.
Until the door closed, separating the two of them.
The expressions on their faces were slowly changing.
The corners of his brows and eyes softened, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth, and his heart beat a little faster than usual.
The faint throbbing was not strong, but it warmed every cell in my internal organs, as if they were soaked in it, radiating a different kind of vitality, and trembling for each other.
Since Wei Huan had slept before, he had to go to the Professional Temple now.
In the past few days, he still focused on recruiting low-level walking corpses and sending them to the [Undead Ranch] to train them to level three, so that they would have the ability to restrain level four dark beasts or level four professionals through numbers.
Cross-level combat is difficult for these low-level undead, but the purpose of their existence is to be cannon fodder, and the qualitative change caused by quantity.
Wei Huan’s current target is to defeat the final boss.
Now that he knew that the dark beast was setting a challenge ahead, he had to improve accordingly.
The walking corpse type of undead are slow but have strong defenses. Once they get close, their combat effectiveness is also not weak. They are very suitable to serve as front-line cannon fodder in "territory wars".
He wanted to make the dark beast that blocked his way regret it.
A surprise attack might also take away a few vehicles, but engaging in positional warfare with the Necromancer would be self-destructive.
This time, Wei Huan stayed in the tomb for a long enough time that five hours passed before he opened his eyes.
It was still dark, and it was just after two in the morning.
Mu Zhong didn't come to see him, which meant nothing special happened.
Wei Huan didn't force himself. He set the alarm for two hours and went back to sleep.
He really needs a little more rest.
But after lying down, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. My mind was full of the current and future changes in the situation and the dark beast.
A new team of dark beasts appeared, and he just wanted to kill them all, leaving no one alive.
…
"Stop them! Kill them all!"
"Even if I die!!"
"We can't lose! Humanity...can't lose!!"
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
…
Wei Huan suddenly jumped up from the bed, no longer sleepy.
He casually grabbed his equipment bag, opened the door, and walked quickly downstairs.
Cross the quiet square and go straight to the cab.
Mu Zhong and his cousin Mu were the only ones on duty in the cab. The lights were dimmed and the two of them were in their own parking spaces. The screen illuminated the small space in front of them, and words were jumping rapidly on it.
At this time and in this atmosphere, it seems that a wandering monster has landed somewhere.
However, there is now order and rules in the convoy. After everyone knows what to do, the rescue work is going smoothly, the losses are getting smaller and smaller, and Wei Huan's vehicle is not even needed to be dispatched.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two turned around.
Mu Zhongxian reported: "The 3rd and 4th convoys on the left wing airdropped a large wandering monster tribe. Five hundred blood-sucking mosquitoes have been wiped out. However, this attack also caused a small number of ground insects and several ghost-faced spiders hiding in the ground insect tunnels.
The situation we discussed before occurred. After the king-level tribe was cleared out by us, challenging the world could only increase the difficulty by using mixed troops.
This is just the beginning. There should be more compatible monsters later on, and special groups like the blue-bearded people seen on the third-level highway may also appear."
Wei Huan nodded to indicate that he understood.
But when he returned to the driver's seat, he looked up and said, "Butler, help me connect Xu Qingqiang."
The steward replied, "Yes, Captain."
After sending the call and waiting for the connection, Mu Zhong asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan pinched the bridge of his nose, and the light spots from the silver glasses changed on his face, revealing some melted skin in the flashes.
Just like the wound in his heart, it was unspeakable, only in the dark, the pain was excruciating, and it kept burning him on fire.
Only occasionally could one glimpse a glimpse of his true intentions from his expression as he was unable to relax.
"That Dark Beast Squad must be killed," Wei Huan said.
Mu nodded thoughtfully, "These dark beasts are connected to each other. I'm afraid they know that we are not easy to deal with, so they picked on Qi Jialu.
No matter how fast Qi Jialu drives, she cannot jump through space. As long as she sets traps on the road, there will be casualties.
I don't know what Qi Jialu's plan is, but if it's possible to avoid death, then it's better not to."
After Mu Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qingqiang, who appeared on the screen with sleepy eyes after the connection was completed, and said, "This matter will fall on Brother Qiang."
"Huh?" Xu Qingqiang, his face wrinkled from sleep, stared blankly at the screen. He slowly lit a cigarette for himself, puffing out smoke before asking, "What's wrong?"
Mu Zhong then told Qi Jialu about the attack last night and his previous guess.
"...So if we don't find that Dark Beast team, Qi Jialu will be harassed constantly. It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, just like with other Dark Beast teams, it's better for us to take the initiative and attack."
Xu Qingqiang was already filled with murderous intent when he heard the beginning.
He was more anxious when Sister Lu was in danger than when he himself was in danger. Sister Lu was looked down upon by the Dark Beast, and even though he had contributed a lot in helping Wei Huan fight, he was still unhappy.
He bit the cigarette butt, showing one canine tooth, and said with a sinister look, "I'll find a way to catch those bugs!"
After the video call ended, Mu Zhong shook his head and smiled, "So, there is actually a way, I just don't want to do it."
Cousin Mu asked, "What's the solution?"
"Be hungry. When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious."
“…That’s really possible.”
After talking about Xu Qingqiang, the two turned to talking about Qi Jialu.
"If you say the Dark Beast picked a weak target, I don't know if Qi Jialu has realized it, but now is not the time for her to continue charging forward. Who knows how many traps are waiting for her ahead."
"Want to get in touch?"
"It depends on what she thinks next. It's not appropriate for us to say too much, but if she continues to be attacked, she probably knows even without us saying anything."
"We shouldn't use human life to test her self-esteem." Mu Zhong thought about it and decided to contact Qi Jialu.
Some things can be said, and some things don’t need to be said, but the cost of Qi Jialu’s trial and error is human life, so she shouldn’t be allowed to continue with her temper.
Save as many as you can.
Mu Zhong immediately contacted Qi Jialu.
But the person he was talking to was the deputy commander, a man named Long Hao, who also looked very Japanese. In every sense, he was a fourth-rank soldier king of the domineering boss Long Aotian.
The communication between the two sides was not smooth.
Long Ritian was very arrogant, even more arrogant than Wei Huan, and said bluntly: "Are you gibbons? You are meddling too much."
Mu Zhong, based on the idea of alliance, was about to persuade him again.
Long Ritian's gaze suddenly shifted away and raised slightly, as if it fell behind him.
Mu Zhong realized something and turned around quickly.
I saw Wei Huan coming over at some point and looking at the man on the screen without saying a word.
Mu Zhong pursed his lips, knowing why Wei Huan was standing here.
Mu Zhong changed his prepared words and said, "If you can't guarantee the safety of these 20,000 people, you can send them here."
Long Hao sneered: "You are so arrogant. Don't think that you can compare with us just because you have achieved some success before.
Wei Huan, you are not the only one who is special. They are just a few dark beasts. If I catch them, I can still beat them to pieces.
This is the last time. If you look down on us again, you will personally experience the gap between yourself and the truly powerful."
Mu Zhong said, "Too much self-esteem is not a good thing either."
Long Hao looked at them deeply and hung up the video call.
Wei Huan's hand pressed on the back of Mu Zhong's chair, and Mu Zhong felt the anger coming from him.
But when he turned around, Wei Huan's expression was still cold.
This reminded Mu Zhong of what Wei Huan had said…his disfigurement ruined all his expressions.
Mu Zhong held Wei Huan's hand in return, stroking it gently to comfort him.
"Bounty hunters and mercenary groups generally have this attitude towards officials, filled with hostility. Peng Zheng is a case in point. This time, we forced him to withdraw. If he had been more assertive, he would have definitely taken a piece of our flesh."
At this moment, Wei Huan's anger had been appeased and dissipated. He looked down at Mu Zhong and said, "He's right. He should know the difference between truly strong people."
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "You can fight against a fifth-level professional. He should know that there are differences between strong people."
"Not even close."
"Anyway, we don't have to fight right now. You're growing faster than him, so you can make up for it soon."
"The speed of cultivation has slowed down recently and has become stable."
"No, we have a way to speed up our practice."
The first thing Wei Huan thought of was to use the microscopic world for joint farming.
He can increase his spiritual power by 7~8 points at a time, which is equivalent to taking a black iron-level spiritual power potion. He can summon 2.5 more running wolves or a female earth beast every day.
Small amounts add up to a lot, and sand grains build a tower.
The key is that there is no drug resistance and it can continue to increase.
Besides being a bit harmful to your health, it can also cause a sore throat and possibly a nosebleed...
He lowered his head to meet Mu Zhong's eyes and found that he couldn't refuse this tempting offer.
"Let's try it first before you and I change shifts," Wei Huan suggested.
"Okay." Mu Zhong smiled, and his eyes made everything he said seem a little tempting.
Wei Huan's Adam's apple rolled as he pushed Mu Zhong out of the cab.
The cab became quiet again.
In the corner, Cousin Mu's presence suddenly vanished, the light from the projector illuminating his tired and greasy face.
“…”
Haha, actually, their relationship is good, which is a good thing~~
…
At dawn, the convoy set off again on time.
Today is a meaningful day.
Because today is the sixth day of the highway assessment.
The sixth day means that the challengers have spent half of the time challenging the world.
As long as they persist for five more days, they can complete the challenge and truly enter the third-level highway.
There are more people, countless wealth and opportunities on the third-level highway.
Hope lies ahead.
At this moment, many people were grateful to Wei Huan in their hearts.
Especially after hearing the news that Group A was attacked by dark beasts twice in a row last night, many people realized that they were only attacked by dark beasts on the first day, and had not encountered even a stronger wandering monster since then.
Is it because the dark beast that came to attack was crippled by Wei Huan the first time, so it has become difficult to provoke?
Except for a few people, most of the people in the convoy did not know that Wei Huan went out in the middle of the night to "sweep mines" and not only eliminated a group of king-level wandering monsters, but also wiped out an entire dark beast team.
This is what brought us peace along the way.
But in the eyes of the dark beast, it is different.
If it was the first time, Wei Huan was lucky.
The second total annihilation was a test of strength.
The dark beast really didn't dare to come towards Wei Huan.
It's all about killing people, so of course you choose the side that's easier to kill.
But everyone has sharp eyes, and at least they understand who is protecting them and giving them the peace they need at the moment.
Moreover, because Wei Huan easily expelled Peng Zheng, the chat room was full of praises for Wei Huan.
Wei Huan didn't bother to pay attention to this group of "fence-sitters" as he had something to do this morning.
He met two groups of people in the car.
Changle Team and Huang Jun Team.
Both of these teams were Tier 3 vehicles that did not come forward to report their capabilities when they were first recruited.
But the former Changle's fighting attitude on the battlefield left a deep impression on Wei Huan.
The latter Huang Jun team took the initiative to confess their strength and seek opportunities to join.
In comparison, Wei Huan had a better impression of Changle.
After all, on the first day of challenging the world, he showed his unparalleled fighting spirit.
Huang Jun's team must have observed for a few days and confirmed that Wei Huan was worthy of joining before they officially showed up.
But Wei Huan also knew that Huang Jun was not to blame.
To surrender to a general is like giving your life to him, so you must be cautious.
After meeting two convoys one after another, Wei Huan asked his cousin Mu to register them. After the background check was passed, they could join the Northeast Army Corps.
They will first undergo a period of training in the Northeast Corps, and once Wei Huan's responsibilities are determined, they will be arranged to report.
By then, he will be someone Wei Huan can use.
Wei Huan also realized through this incident that being a general and being a soldier are two completely different things.
To be a soldier or a hero, it is enough as long as you are strong enough, and you can leave a glorious monument for your great achievements.
Being a general or a leader means you have to take responsibility for the lives and deaths of others. Those who come to you with their lives at stake and put their future on your shoulders have an even heavier burden.
Wei Huan hadn't decided which path he wanted to take, but he didn't refuse either.
His cars will become more and more advanced, and their capacity will become larger and larger. A level seven car will be a war fortress that can easily accommodate thousands of people.
By then, even if I just want to be a lone hero, there will be no shortage of people on the bus.
It would be nice to have a group of people who respect you and share the same ideals as you and cultivate relationships with them in advance.
It didn't take much time to meet both teams.
Afterwards, the driver of the leader car came to the car to give a work report.
Halfway through the assessment period, the environment has become more stable. This is the first time Wei Huan has met them face to face.
To show respect, the drivers of each vehicle came this time.
There are a total of 14 leader captains, and they also bring with them up to three outstanding elite captains from the teams they are responsible for.
They met with Wei Huan and Mu Zhong in batches and talked about the difficulties they had encountered recently and their thoughts on the future.
Especially occasionally, if there are any misunderstandings between the two sides in conveying orders, Mu Zhong hopes that they can raise them. If there is a real problem, it can be resolved. If there is no problem, it would be the best.
The team is like a rope, and they are the supporting bones, which must be tightly connected to ensure a beginning and an end.
After spending the whole morning meeting people, Mu Zhong confirmed: "Everything is fine, there is no problem."
Wei Huan nodded.
The two of them turned their gaze elsewhere.
Breakfast and lunch have passed. Is Xu Qingqiang hungry?
"Should I urge you?" Mu Zhong asked him.
Wei Huan thinks it’s not necessary.
Xu Qingqiang is Qi Jialu's man, and he must be very grateful that Qi Jialu serves as the leader car for him.
At this time, I will be more anxious than anyone else.
Mu Zhong also knew this, but he still had to remind them that they were superiors and subordinates at work and they couldn't act on their own just because they were familiar with each other.
At noon, the convoy discovered another ruin.
After the report was submitted, Mu Zhong arranged for five silver-level elite vehicles to go there.
In less than twenty minutes, good news arrived.
The ruins have been developed.
All materials are handed over to their vehicles, and each team that contributes will accumulate military merit according to the legion's standards, which is the military DKP.
The material warehouse at the Legion is much better than these, with more and more complete materials.
Moreover, if they need any materials here, they can also exchange them directly with military merits.
After so many years since the advent of Challenge World, the official has already had a complete system in place, so Wei Huan doesn't need to worry about it.
The development of the ruins was also going smoothly. The adventure team chased at full speed and caught up with the army in less than half an hour.
Wei Huan received the supplies that fell from the ruins, but he didn't even look at them, as if he was used to it.
The materials sent by General Mu were much more precious than this, and they upgraded his car to the top of the fourth-level car in one breath.
The next level up is the fifth-level car, and many materials can only be obtained on the fourth-level highway, so Wei Huan is not in a hurry.
He needs to calm down more now.
At this time, Xu Qingqiang's call request was answered.
When Wei Huan saw this, he felt a sense of relief.
It had been a busy day, and he was indeed a little concerned about the follow-up situation of Group A.
After the video call was connected, Xu Qingqiang looked a little frustrated: "Maybe it's because the time was too short, or maybe it's my subjective consciousness, I can't really feel which side is our target.
Besides the two anomalies I mentioned yesterday, there are only two more today, and they are all vague and indistinguishable."
Wei Huan said, "Which place is more reliable?"
Xu Qingqiang said: "The bottom of the level must be the Dark Beast Squad, and the other place is the place I mentioned yesterday."
"You suspect there are high-level ruins there."
"It could also be the Dark Beast Squad."
Wei Huan sat in his command seat, legs crossed, tapping his fingers on the armrest for a moment.
Finally make a decision.
"Then go and have a look."
