Gu Ranxi looked back at the light armored vehicle, and when she saw that they were far enough away, she lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you suspect that this guy has a problem? Also, where did you get the tablet?"
Su Mu explained: "That's the tablet I usually use to watch TV series. I just used a little trick to make it look the same as the tablet issued. I used this thing to test Jin Chi... As for whether he has any problems, I'm not sure, I have to ask Xiao Ye."
Su Ye replied: "Cai Mao told me that it smelled a very faint, deliberately suppressed smell of blood in Jin Chi's body."
"The smell of blood that was deliberately suppressed?" Gu Ranxi raised her eyebrows. This discovery was indeed a bit strange, especially since Su Mu had just asked Jin Chi if he was injured, and the latter clearly stated that he was not.
The strong sense of smell of Cai Mao has been verified, and he will never be wrong.
But Gu Ranxi was still a little hesitant: "Hasn't Jin Chi gone through identity verification? And he does have the school emblem of the Western Shu Spiritual Plant and Beast Taming University."
Su Mu put the ice wolf that Xiao Ye had touched, along with its fur, into the dimensional space, and whispered, "The school badge is real, and the body is real, but the person controlling this body may not be Jin Chi anymore."
"Cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest? A trick of the devil?"
"It could also be parasitic manipulation..."
Su Mu thought of the anti-nose bug he had encountered before.
"Then why did you leave Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Xun and the others there to accompany Jin Chi? Aren't they in danger?" Gu Ranxi's face suddenly changed and she was about to turn around.
"Don't move!"
Su Mu stopped her in a low voice.
"If Jin Chi wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago, not until now. Moreover, he is probably much stronger than us! The group of ice wolves just now might have been driven by him to act with him, but he didn't expect us to cover him with firepower as soon as we came up, so he lost the show.
His current purpose should be to lure and use us to help him do things...
Just now he deliberately mentioned that he had made an important discovery, and that was his intention. Maybe he is encouraging Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Xun and the others at this moment. But with Kevin here, his encouragement should not have much effect. And maybe Kevin can take the opportunity to get some information from him. "
"Then I will report this matter to the base and call for support?" Gu Ranxi's reaction was not slow. After she became suspicious of Jin Chi, she immediately made such a decision. After all, Uncle Shang had already instructed that if encountering suspicious situations, one should call for support immediately and never try to show off.
For Jin Chi, his strength and purpose are unknown, so calling for support is the best option.
Su Mu nodded, agreeing with her decision, and took a step back to stand behind Gu Ranxi to block Jin Chi's possible sight.
Gu Ranxi immediately took out the special tablet computer issued to her, reported the situation to the front-line base, and requested support.
The area where they were located had just been bombarded by artillery fire, and there were still residual fluctuations of spiritual energy. Therefore, the energy fluctuations generated by Gu Ranxi's contact with the front-line base were well concealed and were not noticed by Jin Chi.
After sending the message, Gu Ranxi put away the special tablet and asked quietly: "What should we do next?"
Su Mu replied, "Wait for support. We will go back after cleaning up the battlefield and act with Jin Chi. We can't let him suspect that we have been exposed, so we may have to cooperate with him."
Gu Ranxi nodded to show that she understood. It was okay to cooperate with Jin Chi. As long as the dedicated tablet computer was not broken, the front-line base would be able to lock their position, and the support troops would be able to find them accurately no matter where they went.
The only problem is how to let Lin Junjie, Xun Ling and Kevin know about this situation?
Su Mu was not too worried about this: "The tablet I took out just now was both a test for Jin Chi and a signal to you. They understood it just like you. Even if they don't know the details, as long as they know that there is a problem with Jin Chi and look at the reactions of the three of us, they should know what to do."
Gu Ranxi nodded slightly.
At this moment, choose to trust your teammates.
They quickly cleaned up the battlefield and headed towards the light armored vehicles.
Xun Ling asked from a distance: "How is it? Any good harvest?"
Su Mu replied: "Don't mention it. Many ice wolves were beaten to pieces and there was not even any meat left."
"It seems that the tactic of fire coverage also has its flaws."
"That's right." As they were talking, Su Mu and the others had already returned to the light armored vehicle. They glanced at Jin Chi and asked in a surprised tone, "Brother Jin, why are you so worried?"
Before Jin Chi could speak, Kevin answered for him: "Your tablet is broken. Senior Brother Jin can't report the situation to the base and request support. It's urgent."
Jin Chi sighed deeply and secretly gave Kevin a thumbs up in his heart.
It is my fortune that the other side has such a teammate.
"Broken?" Su Mu was stunned. His acting skills were really good. He was worthy of being the man who took Teacher Ye Xian's notebook. His acting skills had improved a lot.
"It won't turn on. I've tried many times to no avail."
Jin Chi's acting skills were also quite good. He frowned even more tightly, and in addition to being anxious, he also had a trace of guilt on his face. He returned the tablet to Su Mu and said self-reproachfully, "Take a look. Did I break it because I didn't operate it properly?"
"This tablet can't be broken, it's our only way to communicate with the base!"
Su Mu was very anxious. He took the tablet and pressed the power button first. After making sure there was no response, he directly removed the back cover and wanted to repair it, but found that it could not be repaired.
"The motherboard is broken and can only be replaced, but the base did not issue us a spare motherboard."
"How could the motherboard be broken?" Kevin came over and asked while looking at it.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows, looked up and looked at Jin Chi.
Jin Chi immediately cancelled the like he had just given Kevin. However, he had already prepared an excuse and was not afraid at all. Just as he was about to say it, he heard Lin Junjie say, "Could it have been accidentally damaged during the battle with the Icefield Snow Wolf just now?"
Kevin nodded in agreement: "Don't mention it, it's really possible."
"So what should we do now?" Gu Ranxi saw these people starting to act out, and she joined in, "How about we terminate the mission and return to the base?"
After hearing what she said, Lin Junjie, Kevin and Xun Ling became more certain that there was something wrong with Jin Chi.
At the same time, they also got a hint from Gu Ranxi and Su Mu's behavior: Jin Chi must not be allowed to know that he has been suspected.
This is going to be a big show!
Lin Junjie showed no expression on his face, but he was very excited in his heart.
The skills I have worked so hard to learn in the field of fairy drama are finally put to use today!
Very good, today I will show you what an Oscar-winning performance looks like!
"I support returning to the base immediately. We can also send Senior Brother Jin back. He has made an important discovery and we can't delay any longer!"
After hearing Lin Junjie's words, Jin Chi suddenly came back to his senses - he had just been pestered by that stubborn foreigner with questions and a bunch of random questions, but in the end he couldn't even say the lines he had prepared long ago... To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He quickly recalled and made sure that he had not said anything he shouldn't have, and only then did he feel relieved.
Xun Ling spoke up at this time and sang a different tune: "We just go back like this? That's not a good idea. We haven't completed the patrol yet, and we've damaged the tablet computer we were given. I'm afraid we'll be punished as soon as we go back, and our mission will be ruined. In my opinion, it's better to finish the patrol first, so that at least the mission is completed..."
"What about Brother Jin?"
"We are not the only team patrolling this area. We may run into other teams along the way. When the time comes, ask them to help Senior Brother Jin report to the base and request support. They can also help us get a new tablet."
Everyone was talking at once, and had different opinions on what to do next.
Jin Chi didn't doubt it at all, because he thought it was normal. This was because several teams he had met before had experienced the same situation after their tablets had problems, and some teams even quarreled over it.
Compared with those teams, the reactions of Su Mu and his friends were relatively rational and gentle.
"Well, I have a suggestion. I wonder if I can tell you?" Jin Chi found an opportunity and spoke.
"cannot!"
"Shut up!"
"Ah?" Jin Chi almost couldn't hold it in. What was going on with these people? Didn't they all follow the routine?
"Ignore them. Brother Jin, do you have any suggestions?" Su Mu said.
The man who just scolded Jin Chi also looked embarrassed: "So it was Senior Brother Jin who wanted to make a suggestion. I thought it was them who were talking. Sorry... what suggestions do you have?"
Jin Chi thought to himself, "So that's how it is. I thought you were criticizing me."
He pointed at Xun Ling and said, "I agree with what this senior sister said. You can't just go back to the frontline base like this. Otherwise, not only will you be punished, but the mission will also be considered a failure. I had a classmate who also went to the dangerous place of the snowy mountains to carry out a mission and encountered a similar situation. They chose to return to the base immediately, and the result was the situation I just described."
"But it's not enough to just complete the patrol mission. We have to make up for our mistakes..."
Su Mu and Gu Ranxi exchanged glances, and both read the same meaning from each other: "Here it comes."
Since the other party has made a move, just cooperate with him.
Su Mu said with a bitter face: "We also want to make merit, but how? Hunting monsters? In area A, B and C, even if we hunt more monsters, the base will not record our merits, unless we can go deep into the dangerous area of the snow mountain to hunt high-level monsters. But those monsters are not something we can fight. If we really go there, we can only deliver rations to them."
"Don't take that risk."
Jin Chi shook his head with a serious expression.
"Do you remember the important discovery I just mentioned? As long as you can go with me and survey that place, any discovery will be a great contribution. Because that place is likely to be the root cause of the deterioration of the Snow Mountain Danger Area!"
