Chapter 157 Level 5 Mission
In the next few days, except for Yu Qingchuan who went to the research institute to start work two days later, Qiao Yu and the other three still went out every day to complete and submit tasks in an orderly manner.
Even if they had already completed all seventeen tasks, they still had to take a walk outside the base every day to pretend, and then submit only three tasks a day.
But even so, the fame of Big Pendulum quickly spread in the mercenary hunter circle, and almost every day someone would come to chat with them at the mercenary hunter center.
Qiao Yu was extremely annoyed, so when it was time to hand over the mission, he asked Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen to go, while he and Jiang Zhan stayed in the car to get some peace and quiet, and eavesdrop on the gossip or rumors around them to see if they could hear any more news about the internal strife of the Scarlet Squad.
Unfortunately, for three consecutive days, although many people were discussing Qi Yong’s death and the current situation of the Crimson Squad, no one mentioned the "internal strife" anymore.
Qiao Yu leaned against the car window and frowned in annoyance.
In the past few nights, she and Jiang Zhan went to the villa of the Scarlet Team almost every day. According to Jiang Zhan's spiritual investigation, there were only seventeen people in the villa.
Qiao Yu still remembered the night Qi Yong died. With Kong Wenjun and Meng Chao not in the villa, there were eighteen people in total. And according to Meng Chao's confession, their team should have had twenty-two members.
In other words, there are two people who have not returned to the villa since the night Qi Yong died.
The names and information of these two people are not difficult to find.
——Xia Chao and Xia Mu are brother and sister.
But the tricky thing is that the last information Qiao Yu found out about them was that they left the base on the night Qi Yong died and never returned.
Things seem to have reached a deadlock here.
Even though other members of Bloody have reported the matter to the base's military and requested a thorough investigation, there has been no good progress so far.
The three core members of the Scarlet Squad who knew about this matter are all dead, and the only two people who may have known about it have left the base and are nowhere to be found...
Jiang Zhan noticed that Qiao Yu was feeling a little annoyed, so he pulled her back from the car window and kissed her between the eyebrows.
Qiao Yu felt Jiang Zhan's silent comfort and gently rubbed his chin, "I'm fine, just... a little unwilling."
I'm not willing to let the clues be cut off, I'm not willing to miss the chance to catch Lu Zixian...
Jiang Zhan rested his forehead against Qiao Yu's, touched her cheek, and said softly, "Don't worry. We will definitely catch him."
"Yeah." Qiao Yu buried her face in Jiang Zhan's arms, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
Not only Lu Zixian, but also Han Ming.
In this life, she will definitely send them to hell with her own hands!
--
After Qiao Yu and others completed all the tasks in batches, "Pendulum" finally and happily made it into the second-level team.
Although it hasn't appeared on the leaderboard yet, at least it can take on level 2 tasks.
The reward points for a second-level task are twenty points, and the task reward is usually ten crystal cores, or materials of equal value.
After completing the second-level tasks for a period of time and accumulating team points to 500 points, they can be upgraded to a third-level team.
Qiao Yu stood in front of the task panel and was about to select a few second-level tasks, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a very conspicuous purple task card.
Qiao Yu was stunned and quickly frowned.
It's actually a level five mission?!
The base doesn't have a single level five team right now. Obviously, this is a task that requires multiple teams to complete.
Qiao Yu leaned over and took a closer look at the mission objective.
——Researcher at the rescue base.
"It's actually a level five mission?!"
Qiao Yu heard someone next to her asking the same question as her.
"Five hundred crystal cores! Captain, the mission reward is five hundred crystal cores! Should we…"
"Shut up!" another male voice whispered to him, "Do you think mission levels are based on rewards? Do you have any brains?! They're based on the degree of danger! And five hundred crystal cores... do you think you'll be able to get them?!"
"But...can't we cooperate with other teams..." The man who spoke at first lowered his voice a lot after being scolded, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice.
The captain rolled his eyes at him, picked him up, and walked away, cursing softly, "Didn't you see the mission location listed above? Mingxia Mountain! It's surrounded by water and there's a tunnel. There might even be an alien lair. No matter how many people go, it's useless. We'll all die anyway! Don't you have any idea how many people have died before?!"
Qiao Yu listened to the conversation between the two people getting farther and farther away and touched his chin.
I don’t know which team these two people are from. This captain is really smart and his ideas coincide with hers.
Mingxia Mountain is located in City A. It is the highest mountain in City A. Not only does it have a very high vegetation coverage rate, it is also surrounded by a river and a lake. It is really not a good place to go.
Moreover, after the apocalypse, communication was difficult, radio was spotty, and positioning was extremely difficult. In such conditions, trying to find a group of people whose lives were unknown in the mountains was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Qiao Yu curled his lips. "Whoever wants to take this mission can do it."
She is not a reckless person, nor does she lack those crystal cores, so she doesn't want to get involved in this mess!
After Qiao Yu accepted the task, the four of them left the base gate and did not return until the evening.
Level 2 tasks are not difficult either. Most of them are similar to level 1 tasks, which involve looking for materials, but the amount of materials to be collected will be larger than that of level 1 tasks.
But because he was too conspicuous at level one, Qiao Yu only accepted two tasks this time, preparing to take it step by step and keep a low profile as much as possible.
When the four of them returned home, Yu Qingchuan was already sitting on the sofa waiting for them.
"Hey, Researcher Yu, are you off work so early?" Cheng Sinian whistled at Yu Qingchuan and smiled lazily.
Yu Qingchuan raised his head, his face not looking very good.
He stared straight at Cheng Sinian, clenched his hands nervously, and seemed to be a little conflicted.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows again, "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu, Jiang Zhan, and Luo Zhenzhen also looked at him in confusion.
"Cheng Sinian..." Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips under the stares of the four people. He was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Professor Kang is trapped in Mingxia Mountain."
The lazy smile on Cheng Sinian's face disappeared instantly, "What did you say?!"
Qiao Yu instantly thought of the level five task card.
So... the researcher who sent out the distress signal... was Kang Cong?!
Cheng Sinian's legendary mentor, Kang Cong, who was both his teacher and his father?!
Qiao Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.
——They may soon become “reckless men”…
