Chapter 158 Borrowing a Leg



Then he turned to the other task force teams and said:

"The same goes for you. You can choose to return directly in a few days, and you can still claim a portion of the mission rewards. But for those who stay, the mission level and rewards have been increased. Moreover, after this mission is completed, the participating team will be directly promoted to mid-level D-level."

After saying that, he didn't care about the reactions of the group of people. He took out a portion of survival rations, sat by the campfire and started heating it.

After hearing what he said, the troublemaking team hesitated for a moment.

A quarter of the points is 250, which is a lot for them. After discussing it, they decided to go back.

As for things like pensions, they were just talking about it.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to have them, so they will get the best. They will not be disappointed if they don’t have them. Risks and casualties are inevitable when going on missions.

He Xiaobei glanced at the tasker team and thought:

Even if they do receive the pension, these points will most likely not reach the families of those who died.

The other teams also gathered around the fire and started discussing.

They were hesitating between trying their best to upgrade the team and quitting while they were ahead. He Xiaobei watched these people silently.

The law of survival in nature has begun. Although only by daring to fight can you live a better life, it is also essential to have a correct judgment of your own abilities.

According to what Qing Yuansi said, she felt that it was right for these people to leave, of course this also included herself.

She didn't know the level of her ability, but as for her physical fitness, she felt that she was at least level 5.

But after all, in terms of physical strength, compared with such a large vine, I still don’t have much effect, and the water system’s attack on the plant doesn’t have much effect either.

She also thought about draining the water from the vines, but based on what she saw today, the vines, including the root system, might be more than a hundred meters long, and she simply couldn't do it.

Moreover, weeds cannot be completely burned out and will grow again in the spring breeze. This is a principle we learned in elementary school. What makes plants stronger than animals is their ability to regenerate.

Besides, why would I rush forward when I know there is danger? It would be better for professionals to slip away first.

And you have to run away immediately, your life is at stake.

Even if the probability of the vines chasing her was extremely low, she didn't want to take the chance.

So she stopped eating the pork leg and went straight towards Luo Pingjun:

"Major Luo, I want to leave."

Luo Pingjun was stunned:

"Leave? When? By yourself?"

"Yes, myself. I want to go now."

Then she told Luo Pingjun everything Qing Yuansi said on the phone.

"Not only am I leaving, but I actually suggest you leave as soon as possible as well."

"Thank you for your reminder. I still have a mission to complete, but protecting you is also one of my tasks, so I still need to report this matter to the base first."

He Xiaobei nodded, then went back to pack up.

No matter what the results of his report to the base were, it would not affect her decision to leave.

When the task force team in the camp saw her packing up, everyone became a little anxious.

Because everyone knows her identity, if she wants to leave, something must have happened.

He Xiaobei was packing her things when several people came over to her and started asking:

"Ms. He, why are you packing your things? Are you leaving?"

"Miss He, has something happened?"

"Yes, Miss He, since we are together, you can't hide anything from us."

He Xiaobei was too lazy to bother with these people.

At this time, Luo Pingjun had also finished communicating with the base. He looked at everyone and pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet:

"Everyone, pack your things. We are moving the camp some distance back."

When everyone heard this, they became even more panicked. Retreat?

Withdraw some distance? Could that thing still catch up with us?

So they all hurried back to their own campfires and began to pack their luggage in a hurry.

At this time, He Xiaobei was not so anxious anymore.

Everyone was going to evacuate, and she could have caught a ride. She definitely wouldn't have walked if she could have taken a ride.

Luo Pingjun walked up to He Xiaobei with an apologetic look on his face:

"I'm sorry, Miss He. The base doesn't agree with your decision to leave without permission. Instead, we hope you'll stay calm and wait for the other teams to arrive in a few days so you can return with the injured."

"Uh...what if I insist on leaving?"

"Miss He, I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

He Xiaobei glanced at Luo Pingjun for a few seconds, then spread his hands:

"Okay then, I won't leave."

Luo Pingjun looked at her suspiciously, as if trying to figure out something from her expression. Could she be so obedient?

"You? You really aren't leaving?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you wouldn't let me go?"

Luo Pingjun didn't believe it, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only turn around and leave helplessly.

The people in the camp packed up their things in a short while. Without the big boxes they brought with them, everyone was on the road again in a short while.

It was a cold night, pitch black, with only a few car lights flickering faintly in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

Snowflakes fluttered down, like countless elves dancing in the air.

They become extremely clear and visible under the illumination of car lights, and each snowflake shines with a unique light, just like the brightest star in the night sky.

The driver drove the vehicle carefully.

The snowplow was driving in front, and the other cars followed slowly behind, driving very slowly.
