Chapter 372: The Course of Action

After hearing Xu Xiayan's explanation, the group leaders and deputy group leaders present gradually calmed down.

People like Qiao Zhi and Zhu Yun were still frowning deeply, looking very fearful and terrified.

Qiao Liang and Zhu Qian also didn't know what they were thinking. One's eyes flickered, and the other stared at Xu Xiayan.

"Captain."

Chi Qian moved closer to Su Ming and called softly in his ear.

Su Ming also heard a hint of fear and hesitation in Chi Qian's voice.

Obviously, even after hearing that the nightmare mutant living on the tenth floor was in a state of injury, Chi Qian still did not feel at ease.

Su Ming actually wanted to ask Xu Xiayan as well.

"Are those Tianfeng City's top brass just full and have nothing to do?" Su Ming muttered, "If they really want to defeat the nightmare mutants, then just send someone over. What else are they confirming?"

Many people heard this muttering.

They didn't comment on this, but from their expressions, it was clear that they thought the same as Su Ming.

Since it has been confirmed that the nightmare mutant is here, why not let the strong men of Tianfeng City come directly to attack it? Why let a bunch of little guys confirm it? Just do it!

"It's not as simple as you think." Xu Xiayan seemed to have heard Su Ming's muttering, and smiled bitterly, saying, "After all, it was a mission left behind a long, long time ago. It has been many years since then. In addition, the location where this nightmare mutant hides is this hidden wonderland that may leave the world at any time. Therefore, there are many disagreements among the top leaders of Tianfeng City on whether to send strong people and take huge risks to defeat this phantom demon."

This nightmare mutant must have caused a lot of disasters on earth in the past.

Not to mention whether humans at that time hated it to the core, just keeping it around and allowing it to wreak havoc on the earth was something that was unacceptable.

But now, the situation has changed.

This nightmare mutant hides in the hidden wonderland of the Midnight Maze and does not move on the ground. If it can stay here honestly, why take the huge risk to conquer it?

After all, it is an existence that is superior to the Seven Stars. Even if it is in a state of injury, the senior officials and top figures in Tianfeng City must be quite hesitant and struggling as to whether or not to face such a vicious phantom demon that is famous in history.

If things go wrong and one or two seven-star professionals are lost, it will be a huge sacrifice for the top combat power of the entire Tianfeng City.

How many seven-star professionals are there in the entire Tianfeng City? Less than twenty.

The loss of any one or two of them would cause serious damage to Tianfeng City and cause one or two super families and super forces to completely collapse.

For example, among the eight major families, many of them have only one seven-star professional. If this one top person is sacrificed, they will immediately slide off the altar and become a top family from a super family. Their power, strength, territory, business and so on will be seriously affected in all aspects.

Who can bear such a huge loss?

It would be another matter if this nightmare mutant was still wreaking havoc on the earth.

But if it stays in this polar night maze forever, hiding in the gap between the real world and the Demonic Prison along with the polar night maze, and can only appear on the ground for about ten days during special time periods, then its threat to the real world will be infinitely close to zero.

At least it is certain that as long as the Midnight Maze does not appear on the ground, this nightmare mutant will not be able to come into the world and pose a threat to humans.

As a result, the top leaders and leaders of Tianfeng City would naturally hesitate as to whether or not to take the risk to defeat it.

The result of all the hesitation and inner struggle was that he finally put it aside and sent someone to investigate first.

It just so happens that next year is the time to repair the seal of the Chaos Demon Cave once every sixty years. Tianfeng City needs to collect a large amount of precious materials and treasures. Tianfeng City needs someone to come to the tenth floor to collect the golden dream demon thread.

Therefore, the reconnaissance and collection tasks fell on "Summer Chasing Smoke".

Of course, this is just the superficial reason.

As for the deeper reasons, perhaps there are conflicts caused by the inconsistent attitudes of the major families and forces in Tianfeng City towards this matter. Each of them has carried out a certain degree of game and targeting, or even it is the result of problems with the guidelines and policies of some family forces.

In short, Su Ming felt that there must be something wrong with the top leaders in Tianfeng City, as they let a group of young people run to such a place to face a nightmare mutant.

Xu Xiayan obviously had no confidence, which was why she paid a huge price and hired so many teams to face it together.

Thinking of this, Su Ming looked at Xu Xiayan with some sympathy in his eyes.

"If this task fell on me, I would definitely refuse it without saying anything."

Unfortunately, Xu Xiayan certainly can't do it.

She is an outsider member of the Wang family and a professional affiliated with the Wang family. Even if she wants to object to the decisions made by the top leaders of Tianfeng City, she cannot object if the Wang family does not object.

This is more of a mandatory task than a commission.

"That's why I don't want to attract too much attention when my strength is not enough."

That's the downside.

Unless you stop being a professional, you cannot disobey the decisions and tasks assigned by the top management of the base city.

If you disobey, revoking your professional certificate is a small matter. The big deal is to move your entire family out of the important protection area of ​​the base city, forcing you to worry about being persecuted by phantom demons all day long.

Anyway, Su Ming felt very disgusted.

Xu Xiayan naturally didn't know what Su Ming was thinking, otherwise she would definitely be in mixed feelings.

She just said this while looking at the people who were gradually becoming silent and calm.

“That’s what I think.”

Xu Xiayan explained her plan to everyone.

"Next, we will split into two groups. One group will search for the golden dream demon thread on the tenth floor, and the other group will wait for an opportunity to investigate the nightmare mutant."

"We need a lot of people to find the Golden Dream Demon Line. Anyway, there are no phantom demons other than the nightmare mutants on the tenth floor, so the strength requirements for this treasure hunting team don't need to be too high. Just try to get as many people as possible. This way, the probability of finding the Golden Dream Demon Line will be higher."

"The survey team needs to gather the top combat forces from all the major teams. They don't need too many people to avoid causing too much noise, but they can't be too weak to avoid being unable to escape when a clash really comes."

Xu Xiayan looked around at everyone present.

"The reason why we, 'Summer Chasing Smoke', hired you to help us is to be prepared for any eventuality. If we are lucky and the situation goes smoothly, we won't even need to fight and can escape unscathed."

I have to say that Xu Xiayan is indeed very cautious and takes this matter seriously.

Even though it was possible that everything would go smoothly and there would not even be a need for fighting, she still considered the worst outcome and hired so many powerful teams at great cost.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst.

If something really happens, with so many experts working together, the threat to "Summer Chasing Smoke" will not be too great.

If nothing happens, that would be great.

Once this task is completed, "Summer Chasing Smoke" will be able to be promoted to an S-level team. Compared with this, the hiring costs paid for this are nothing.

"Captain Xu"

After understanding Xu Xiayan's thoughts, Chi Qian had a complicated expression.

If I could be like Xu Xiayan, no matter what, I would have considered the worst-case scenario first and made adequate preparations for it, just in case, would "True Red" be safe? If so, "True Red" would have been promoted to an A-level team by now, becoming the fastest team to be promoted to A-level in Tianfeng City, right?

And the sisters in "True Red" don't need to sacrifice anymore.

"well"

Chi Qian sighed, feeling mixed emotions.

It was not until this moment that Chi Qian truly began to admire Xu Xiayan.

Perhaps, in terms of strength, she is confident that she is no weaker than Xu Xiayan, who has been promoted for a year.

But in terms of mentality and qualities as a team leader, Chi Qian felt that he was not as good as Xu Xiayan.

Only people like Xu Xiayan can keep their team going without any danger and eventually reach the top.

All the current achievements of "Summer Chasing Smoke" are what Captain Xu deserves.

“Bang!”

Just as Chi Qian was feeling more and more complicated, a hand patted her shoulder.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Chi Qian turned around and immediately saw Su Ming's face.

"Don't think too much." Su Ming seemed to see through Chi Qian's thoughts and said, "That's all in the past."

"I understand." Chi Qian took a deep breath, nodded, and stopped thinking about it.

At the same time, the leaders of each major team also discussed quietly.

It's clear that they are all weighing the pros and cons.

Xu Xiayan also said so.

"If anyone wants to withdraw, they can raise the issue now. We will not stop them."

When saying this, Xu Xiayan was surprisingly calm.

There is no doubt that she had considered the result of someone withdrawing and had prepared herself mentally in advance and was fully able to accept it.

Su Ming seriously suspected that this girl hired so many teams at one time just because she took this into consideration.

In this way, even if some of the team members really withdraw, they will not fall into the dilemma of not having enough foreign aid.

"It's no wonder that we've been preparing for half a year."

Xu Xiayan took all kinds of situations into consideration and tried her best to eliminate those uncertainties in the past six months.

With this kind of scheming, Su Ming suddenly felt that if the Xu family in Longyao City really fell into Xu Xiayan's hands, they might be able to move to a higher level, reaching a height that Xu Wen and the two brothers in the Xu family who were scheming and competing viciously all day long could not reach.

This aunt from the Xu family is indeed very suitable to be the head of the family.

It’s just that she herself looks down on them and is very disappointed with the Xu family.

In Xu Xiayan's heart, the Xu family might be no different from a piece of mud that can't be supported against a wall?

If Su Ming were given a choice, he would rather continue to be a group leader than be that stupid head of a family.

So, in the tent, waves of discussions continued to be heard and heard.

In the end, contrary to Su Ming's expectations, out of the eleven teams, not even one withdrew.

After repeatedly confirming that it was just an investigation and no fighting was required, these teams were willing to take a little risk and continue to accept employment.

"Thank you very much."

Xu Xiayan bowed deeply to this, and then began to discuss specific action plans with the leaders of the major teams.

The discussion went on until late at night.

After a long time, the leaders of each team, who had already decided on the basic course of action, left one after another and returned to their respective resting places.

Xu Xiayan and Wang Di were the only two people left in the tent.

"call"

Xu Xiayan let out a light breath.

"Thanks a lot."

Wang Di looked at Xu Xiayan, who looked a little tired, with a hint of pity and heartache in his eyes.

Xu Xiayan glanced at Wang Di, not knowing whether she saw the pity and heartache in his eyes. She said calmly, "Fortunately, no team withdrew in the end. The worst situation I imagined did not happen."

"After all, it's just an investigation, and it doesn't necessarily require a fight." Wang Di said, "Even if something really goes wrong, they don't have the confidence to face nightmare mutants, but they must have enough confidence to escape, right?"

"After all, they are leaders of large teams, like Qiao Liang and Zhu Qian. They are more arrogant than we thought. They definitely don't think they don't even have the ability to escape, right?" Xu Xiayan said lightly: "Now, they must have gone back to make arrangements and prepare a retreat for their team."

If you really end up in a situation where you need to escape, it is undoubtedly necessary to prepare the team in advance.

You can't just abandon the team and run away, right? If it's really necessary, those teams will definitely not care whether to hire or not, or whether to pay or not.

It’s just that there is no need for that now. Xu Xiayan doesn’t expect them to all stand together with "Xia Ri Zhu Yan".

"I just hope everything goes well and that our six months of preparation don't go to waste."

Xu Xiayan murmured so.

"I will definitely do it." Wang Di looked at Xu Xiayan gently and said, "This is the arrangement you spent so much effort on. Even those S-level teams may not be able to do this. I believe your efforts will not be in vain."

"I hope so." Xu Xiayan rubbed his temple and said, "Now I am more worried about it than the mission."

"It's not about the mission?" Wang Di was startled at first, then he remembered something and said, "Are you talking about the fact that we can't get in touch with the outside world?"

"That's right." Xu Xiayan nodded and said, "Since entering the Midnight Labyrinth, we have completely lost contact with the outside world. This is very abnormal."

You know, Xu Xiayan had made sufficient preparations for this mission, even taking into account things like contacting outside rescue and conveying intelligence in a timely manner.

To this end, Xu Xiayan prepared special alchemical props that could keep her in touch with the outside world.

After entering the Polar Night Maze, other teams found that they could not contact the outside world. They all thought that it was the special nature of this hidden wonderland that made the terminal unusable.

This is a very common thing in some ordinary wonderlands, so no one would suspect it.

But after Xu Xiayan made preparations in this regard, she found that she still lost contact with the outside world.

"I hope nothing went wrong."

Xu Xiayan hoped so.
