track
Chapter 108
Mu Zhong might not have a deep impression of Shi Hengjun. After all, in District 1006, Shi Hengjun was suppressed by Wei Huan every time he showed up. Finally, during the assessment on the secondary highway, he disappeared completely after Wei Huan cut off one of his arms.
But in Wei Huan's memories of his previous life, Shi Hengjun was a very prominent figure. As the top scorer in District 1006, he dominated the chat room during the entire assessment period. After the assessment, Blue Star continued to track him for a while before gradually disappearing from the news.
Shi Hengjun and Shi Heng Group, just hearing these two names, it is hard not to associate them together.
Mu Zhong nodded after being reminded of this. "Yes, Haisang University was the international school jointly established by Daxia and Sangshu Kingdom. In the 1006 highway assessment, seven people from Haisang University, including Shi Hengjun, were admitted."
After saying this, Mu Zhong's memories returned. "We also saw them on the secondary road. They attacked Liu Chengzhi. Later you said you taught them a lesson, right?"
Wei Huan nodded.
But now he realized that the lesson was too light.
At that time, he killed the man from Sangshu who insulted women on the spot, cut off the hands of the three people who attacked Liu Chengzhi, and finally cut off an arm of the leader of this small group, Shi Hengjun.
But if Mu Zhong's ambush and the theft of the military warehouse were all related to Shi Heng's group, then he should have taken Shi Heng's life at that time, or extricated more information from him.
After all, he was not omniscient and omnipotent after his rebirth, which made him miss the best opportunity to avenge Mu Zhong.
But Mu Zhong said, "Shi Hengjun is from the same era as us. Before that, he wasn't even a challenger. It's not his turn to step forward in this matter. Commander Mu, do you have a list of the leaders of Shi Heng's group? Let me see."
Wei Huan was silent.
The emergence of the challenge world has also changed the rules of the blue planet. There is a saying: If you are not a challenger, you will always be an ant.
The Shi Heng Group has been able to grow into such a behemoth today only because of the advantages created by those who are ahead. As a beneficiary... Shi Hengjun is not innocent.
The information in Mu Zhong's hand detailed the power structure of the Shi Heng Group.
The initial leader of the Shi Heng Group was old man Shi Heng, a pure businessman who invested heavily in education and economic and trade fields in Daxia, and almost all of his family moved to Daxia.
But after the challenge world came, old man Shi Heng failed to become a challenger because he was over 60 years old, but his 58-year-old wife became a challenger, and the power of the Shi Heng family changed.
In the next few years, the female leader of the Shi Heng family gradually undermined the power of old man Shi Heng, and transferred the family assets back to the Sangshu Kingdom like ants moving house, becoming a mercenary in public and a broker in secret.
Today, the Shi Heng Group has replaced the last two of the three major societies in Sangshu Country, firmly sitting in the second seat of the Sangshu Country society, and has the ambition to take over one seat.
The female leader is 65 years old this year. She has given birth to five children in her life, three boys and two girls. They are all the backbone of Shi Heng's group and hold important positions. They all have the wolf-like ferocity of this female leader.
There are a total of 11 children in the third generation, seven girls and four boys. Among them, one boy and one girl died while challenging the world. There is also a third-generation woman who gave up her identity as a challenger and chose to return to ordinary life.
Since the third generation, the Shi Heng Group has been recruiting a large number of members, forming a large force that currently has 13 level 4 vehicles and more than 100 level 3 vehicles.
This family has 36 apparently fourth-level experts.
The reason why there is no level five yet is because the level five vehicles originated in Daxia, and the major legions do not have enough quotas for them. There are also other countries waiting in line for the upgrade, so it is not the turn of the forces under these countries to compete for it for the time being.
Shi Hengjun is the oldest child among the four generations.
Shi Hengjun's real name was not "Shi Hengjun". Instead, these children from the Sangshu Kingdom came to Daxia to study and take exams, or to Daxia with the purpose of obtaining supplies, so they changed their names and only left their surnames.
Imai, Iijima, Nami... Only Ishitsugi-kun has the character "Jun" in his name, which also represents his leadership status in this age group.
The female leader of the Sangshu Kingdom in Daxia is called "Ji".
In short, Shi Hengjun has been a leader trained by his family for four generations, and his father has also been a leader trained by his family for three generations.
The female leader of the Shi Heng Group is Shi Hengjun’s great-grandmother. This is a very powerful family collective and is full of ambition.
They chatted for a while about the intelligence information of Shi Heng's group, and before they knew it, it was dawn.
At a certain moment, when Wei Huan looked up and out the window, he saw the golden light shining in the distant sky and was stunned for a moment.
When I came to my senses, I heard Commander Mu say, "I've been in Challenge World for so long that I almost forgot that the sun rises slowly."
Mu Zhong also looked out the window and sighed, "Sometimes I think, challenging the world always gives me a sense of urgency. The evolution that takes humans tens of thousands of years to achieve, challenging the world seems to force us to complete it in a short time. But what if we complete it? What will we do after we complete it? Killing the Dark Beast, will it bring peace? Evolution without a goal makes people feel painful, like rushing towards a brilliant death."
The last sentence made Wei Huan suffocate.
What is the end point of evolution? It has always been the focus of human discussion.
Unfortunately, even though Wei Huan returned from the future, he only saw the end of humanity. But this is not the end of evolution.
The office was silent for a long time because of this topic, until the sun rose completely from the horizon, lighting up the starlight of the distant buildings and shining its light on the earth.
Wei Huan was watching intently.
The process of expelling the darkness was like some kind of self-healing, and his tense shoulders relaxed without him noticing when.
He would think, if there is a God in this world, does he also hope that mankind will achieve ultimate victory?
Otherwise, what does my return represent?
"Commander Chai is here." The adjutant knocked on the door and came in to report, holding breakfast for three people in his hands.
Commander Mu stood up, asked the two of them to eat first, and then left.
Wei Huan ate breakfast very slowly. On the one hand, it was because his mouth had difficulty eating, and on the other hand, he was a little worried.
Mu Zhong observed him for a moment and asked him quietly, "Are you worried that Commander Chai might be involved in this?"
Wei Huan nodded: "You can't trust anyone now."
Mu Zhong said, "Commander Chai is trustworthy. Although he and Commander Mu compete for power, Commander Chai is even more vindictive than Commander Hong. He didn't support cooperation with the Sangshu people back then. It's just that Commander Hong's fall was sudden. After taking office, he could only focus on the Dark Beast's attack on the Northeast Army. He never had time to organize the army internally, including inventorying supplies, which gave the termites an opportunity."
At this point, Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said, “The Challenger World has become a safe haven for criminals. Many criminals choose to stay in the Challenger World and never come back. This group of people gathered together and became the War Clan.
They would also provide shelter to some people who planned to commit crimes. When the cost of crime was reduced, this kind of thing that was previously unthinkable, such as misappropriation of legion supplies, was not the first time that it happened in our Northeast Army.
In the past, several major legions have experienced similar scandals. The most important thing is that after they hid in the Challenge World, it greatly increased the difficulty of our pursuit.
The pressure from the Dark Beasts ahead is too great, and the betrayal of our own people has made matters worse. The military has decided to issue a wanted order, offering rewards to encourage individual organizations to participate. Hopefully, it will be effective."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows and met their gazes!
In his previous life, when he first followed Wei Jinhong, part of his job was to hunt down some suspects who had hidden in the Challenge World. Therefore, for a period of time, the job of "bounty hunter" was very popular.
At that time, he only knew that the official platform had a lot of wanted lists, and many people made a living from it and lived a good life.
He was not quite sure where these people came from, he only knew that they were suspected criminals. It was said that some death row prisoners who were originally imprisoned in prison escaped and gained freedom in the challenge world.
I didn't expect that there were these real traitors to humanity hiding among them.
He stole the Legion's supplies for personal gain, enriching himself while disregarding the safety of all mankind.
I didn't expect that there were so many bad things happening in places I couldn't see, one after another, like termites hollowing out the human race, until finally the human race, a towering tree that still looked extremely lush, fell down helplessly.
Perhaps before that, no one had ever thought that humans would lose?
If they knew, would they just stop and do nothing?
Wei Huan didn't know.
It is also impossible to explain to everyone what the end of mankind will be, otherwise everyone will laugh at me and call me a madman.
So he has to find another way to sort out this world that is about to collapse.
In troubled times, severe punishments are necessary. If these parasites fall into his hands, none of them will survive! !
Wei Huan had breakfast and waited until Commander Mu came back, but nothing happened.
Commander Mu asked them to go back first, and if they returned to the car, they should remember to leave someone outside, and then he would chase them away.
The two went out and the cold wind made them no longer sleepy, but the drowsiness caused by lack of sleep kept lingering in their minds.
Wei Huan bent down, wrapped Mu Zhong's scarf tighter, and said, "There's something I forgot to mention. I had a minor accident at the Occupational Temple yesterday. It seems I touched upon the core of the Law of Death."
Finally, there was some good news after a terrible day. Mu Zhong turned around and asked, "Can you tell me more?"
Wei Huan then carefully recounted his feelings after the accidental fall, and how he had seen two new types of undead soldiers.
Mu Zhong suddenly realized: "So this is why you went back to the car in the middle of the night?"
Wei Huan nodded. "I'm afraid I can't recruit a six-star flying monkey right now, but a dog-headed man should be no problem."
Mu Zhong said, "Kobolds are very special. The Dark Beast Lord can build a territory in the highway assessment thanks to the kobolds. So I was wondering, if the kobolds you recruit have the same ability, does that mean we can also bring chariots into random challenges?"
Wei Huan asked, "How did we bring the chariot into the random challenge before?"
Mu Zhong said, "Advanced drivers can create their own tanks in random challenges. The upgrade materials are carried in the driver's workspace. The tank's level is determined by the materials carried and the driver's sequence."
At this time, the two had already walked to the side of the car.
Wei Huan opened the car door and was about to bend down to pick Mu Zhong up when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Can I bring back the car I made in the random challenge?"
The two were very close, and as Wei Huan spoke, his warmth swept away the chill on Mu Zhong's face. He paused before answering, "Of course not. This style of play consumes too much energy, and the Driver Sequence is almost useless besides controlling the vehicle. Its combat effectiveness is even lower than that of a Diviner... I know you said that Driver Sequence Five is the Mecha Technician, but before that, the Driver still takes up a teammate's parking space, leading to an awkward situation where strong teams are unwilling to carry it, and weak teams can't afford it, reducing it to a sewer class."
Wei Huan had already carried Mu Zhong to the passenger seat and then brought his seat belt to fasten it. He patted the buckle with his palm and looked directly into Mu Zhong's eyes: "There are no sewer professions in Challenge World. They don't deserve it."
Mu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Like me and Xu Qingqiang?"
Wei Huan said: "You are different from Xu Qingqiang. You have two professions."
Mu Zhong said, "It's because of you that the shaman priests have room to shine. In fact, the Bloodthirsty Blessing is loved and hated, and as a result, the shaman priests are not very popular."
"What do you want to say?" Wei Huan frowned slightly.
"Because of you, we can fully display ourselves, so we are lucky to have met you."
"We just complement each other, but your light cannot be blocked."
After saying this, Wei Huan turned and left, quickly put away his wheelchair and sat in the driver's seat.
During this process, Mu Zhong's eyes followed him all the time until he got into the car, and then he quickly looked away.
Who is the one who can’t cover up the light?
…
This was the third day after returning to Blue Star. Because of the issue with the legion's supplies, the two people who had originally wanted to walk around and relax had completely given up the idea.
In the afternoon, the twins' plane arrived in Beijing. Half an hour later, Lin Xu sent a message saying that Xu Qingqiang had woken up.
A group of people chatted in the group for a long time, and Xu Qingqiang asked in confusion: "Where is the fat thief? Why hasn't he said anything?"
After he reminded everyone, they remembered that Liu Chengzhi had not spoken since yesterday afternoon when he said he wanted to go home to accompany his grandmother and meet his childhood friend.
The emergence of a challenging world has killed many of the "middle-aged and young generations", so many children nowadays are raised by their grandparents or ancestors.
Apart from being a little fat, Liu Chengzhi's fighting ability is average, but there is no big problem. He is a good cook, has an extroverted personality, is eloquent and can take a joke. He is also extremely respectful to his elders and Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
Liu Chengzhi is an indispensable and core member of this car. Everyone feels a little uncomfortable when he is not around.
Mu Zhong originally wanted to call Liu Chengzhi to ask about the situation, but Wei Huan's phone rang first.
It was Commander Mu calling. He got straight to the point, "I need your Ghost Crow's help. The people have been tracked out. You need to find a white car with the license plate Beijing AXXXX on Jianshe Road and try to find out their destination. I've also arranged for someone to deliver your aircraft, along with the air permit. I'm leaving the rest up to you."
"Um."
The task came suddenly.
Wei Huan's serious expression and the portal he suddenly opened made the smile on Mu Zhong's face disappear.
He didn't hear the conversation on Wei Huan's phone clearly, but he knew it was something important. He waited until Sister Crow croaked and left through the wall before he said, "Any mission?"
"Well, Commander Mu's call should have found a breakthrough. I'm going out for a while."
"...Okay." Mu Zhong bit his lip. Wei Huan didn't notice the gloom on his face at that moment.
Three minutes later, there was a knock on the window and Liu Xiaotian leaned against the glass and laughed.
It seems that this is the person who delivered the aircraft.
Wei Huan opened the window and saw Liu Xiaotian flying on the aircraft to the third floor. He took the aircraft off his back and handed it to Wei Huan, asking him, "Do you know how to use it?"
Wei Huan nodded, thinking that his driving skills might be better than Liu Xiaotian's.
Seeing Wei Huan really step onto the aircraft with ease and fly out of the narrow window steadily, Liu Xiaotian exclaimed: "First time? So amazing? Is there anything you can't do?"
Wei Huan ignored him and just looked at Mu Zhong and said, "I'll be back soon. Let's go."
"Um."
Mu Zhong sat in a wheelchair, looking at the two people who had flown away. After a long time, he raised his hand and closed the window.
During this process, he breathed rapidly, his brows furrowed as if he was experiencing some great pain.
Then, he slowly and with great difficulty soothed the pain.
His face regained its composure.
Wei Huan had already flown to an altitude of 300 meters at this moment, and together with Liu Xiaotian, he quickly rushed to Jianshe Road.
Liu Xiaotian was not wearing the armor of a soldier king, but just a black combat uniform, which made him look heroic.
He caught up with Wei Huan and threw a communicator to him.
As Wei Huan put on the communicator, he heard Liu Xiaotian's voice bombarding him: "Wow, that's great! Is this really your first time flying? We're already 300 meters high. Are you so relaxed?"
He added, "You're running too fast! I squeezed the communicator in my hands until they started sweating before I gave it to you. Hahaha, did you feel it was wet when you took it?"
Wei Huan: “…”
Dislike it and want to throw it away.
Liu Xiaotian wanted to continue talking when Captain Wang's voice rang out from the communicator: "Channel silent."
Is there anyone else connected to this communicator?
But this is normal. The actions of Daxia's warriors are always in teams of at least three people. Only a stable "triangle structure" can complete the task more efficiently.
Captain Wang continued on the communicator: "Hello Wei Huan, I'm Captain Wang."
"Hello, Captain Wang." Wei Huan said.
Captain Wang then went straight to the mission. "We're connected to the transportation network. Now, Liu Xiaotian, open the map on your phone. It will show the vehicles we're tracking, as well as your current location. Don't alert them. We're going after the big fish. I repeat, don't alert them."
Half a minute passed from the time Liu Xiaotian opened the map on his mobile phone to the time he connected to the signal and saw the location.
It was then discovered that the suspected vehicle had left Jianshe Road and headed towards Jianning Road, changing direction to the opposite of the previous one.
If they followed the previous direction, they would definitely diverge, but now...
"Has your Ghost Crow found the target vehicle?" Liu Xiaotian asked Wei Huan affirmatively.
Wei Huan nodded, he had indeed found it. The third-level ghost crow was moving at full speed and could keep up with a car traveling at 1,200 miles per hour. He could reach this distance in a flash.
He has a spiritual connection with the Ghost Crow, so he is always adjusting the direction.
Liu Xiaotian praised it and then became curious: "Can the ghost crow communicate with you spiritually?"
Wei Huan did not answer.
Liu Xiaotian asked himself, "Oh, this is a secret, right? I know, but I won't ask. But I heard Commander Mu say that the Ghost Crow can monitor the enemy's contact targets. Can it distinguish them? Doesn't that make it as smart as a human?"
This time, before Wei Huan could even begin to speak, Captain Wang scolded him, "There's no point in talking so much nonsense during a mission! Liu Xiaotian, if you don't shut up, I'll remove you and replace you with someone else!"
"Got it, got it." After Liu Xiaotian answered, he winked at Wei Huan and smiled, and then really stopped talking.
Wei Huan was not annoyed by veterans like Liu Xiaotian, but he was not good at communicating with people who were very familiar with him. He was a slow warmer.
The Corps is a melting pot; all kinds of people come in, and eventually they all become the same. But the underlying qualities are different, and the more lively and outgoing the better.
Moreover, in collective life, such teammates are "treasures".
Captain Wang looks like Wei Huan, a serious person. He seems to be unable to do anything with Liu Xiaotian and is always criticizing him, but in fact, he must be the one who likes Liu Xiaotian the most.
However, after Captain Wang learned about the situation of the Ghost Crow, he expressed his amazement.
He also said: "The most difficult part of this mission is to follow the clues and eradicate the root of the problem. The enemy's anti-detection capabilities are very strong. The people we sent in the past have never found any effective clues, and any intelligence means are useless.
The Ghost Crow will definitely be the breakthrough point for this mission. Thank you for your hard work today. We will follow behind and will be there the first time if anything unexpected happens."
The tracking lasted for more than two hours. During this period, the other party took the subway for one stop, changed to another car, and got on a car parked on the roadside when he reached the northern suburbs. It seemed that he was finally relieved and drove into the mountains in the northern suburbs.
The northern suburbs used to be mostly farmhouses and farmland, but now it has been abandoned and there is no sign of human habitation within ten miles.
A black car is driving in this desolate wilderness. Who would believe that it has no fault?
Finally, the car drove into an abandoned factory in the mountains.
The factory is very large, with eight large factory sheds lined up in a row, which is more than enough to hide an aircraft carrier.
Outside the factory, weeds grew wildly, trees grew wildly, and some roads were blocked.
There are professionals with guns patrolling around, and there is no doubt that this is the meeting place.
Wei Huan stopped six kilometers away. He released the Demon Eye Lord, and his left eye turned into a burning green flame.
Liu Xiaotian looked at him again and again, with a lot to say, his curiosity had reached its peak.
"When do we start? Should we get closer after dark?" Liu Xiaotian thought about it and found a question that did not violate the rules.
Wei Huan said, "The Demon Eye Lord can only conduct reconnaissance from a distance. For reconnaissance inside buildings, we can only rely on the Ghost Crow. Let's wait for it to come back."
Liu Xiaotian frowned. "Can't it send you a text message? Well, uh, something like that."
Wei Huan: “…” It’s quite vivid, but it really doesn’t work. Maybe the level of evolution is not high enough.
Wei Huan didn't stay here for long before Sister Ya flew back.
The "quack quack" sound sounded like mental pollution to Liu Xiaotian's ears, but Wei Huan nodded as he listened, and gained a lot of information.
"Go again." He ordered Sister Ya to go back, and at the same time pressed the communicator to report the latest information.
"There are many beacons deep underground in this warehouse." When Wei Huan said this, Captain Wang did not realize the problem at first.
"Beacon" is the information left behind by humans after entering the challenge world, proving that a person had stood here at some stage before, and when he returns from the challenge world, he must also appear from here.
Until Wei Huan said: "The number is probably more than a thousand."
"What!?" Captain Wang then realized the seriousness of the problem.
After the advent of the Challenge World, in order to avoid the disorder caused by entering and exiting the Challenge World, the humans on Blue Star had already made requirements, such as not being allowed to enter and exit the Challenge World in public places, not being allowed to use the Challenger abilities on Blue Star, etc.
So if thousands of beacons appear deep underground in an abandoned factory in the wilderness, this is definitely not normal.
Liu Xiaotian, who was listening nearby, called out accurately, "War Clan!?"
