Chapter 168 Discovering Something Strange
Qiao Yu didn't understand what Wang Zha was saying, but he could see the feeling of "trying to complain aggrievedly" in its eyes.
Qiao Yu glanced at Hua Yue, who was obviously seriously injured and fidgeting on the roof of the car, and then looked at Yu Qingchuan, who was still muttering angrily at Wang Zha, and he couldn't help but feel even more confused.
So he patted Wang Zha's head and said to Yu Qingchuan, "Tsk. What's going on? Speak human language!"
Yu Qingchuan glanced at Wang Zha, who looked like a scoundrel, and snorted softly before explaining to Qiao Yu, "When I was searching for her, I happened to see Hua Yue being chased by a group of alien species. She was seriously injured and had a falling out with Shengshi Dynasty. I brought her back to the camp and let her rest on the roof of our car. But Wang Zha saw us and said..."
At this point, Yu Qingchuan choked up, his face flushing slightly again. After a pause, he continued, "He said Huayue had occupied his territory, and he wanted to force her down..."
Luo Zhenzhen suddenly understood after hearing this.
So they really were arguing just now?
Humph, Cheng Sinian is a liar.
Hua Yue supported herself and waited for Yu Qingchuan to finish, then immediately continued, "Captain Qiao, I'm sorry to have troubled you. Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon. I won't stay here any longer..."
Qiao Yu did not miss the pause in Yu Qingchuan's words and the strange look on his face, but he did not ask any further questions.
Hearing Hua Yue say this, she patted Wang Zha's head again and said gently, "It's not a big deal. You don't have to worry. Wait until you recover before leaving."
"It's okay... I..."
Hua Yue wanted to insist on leaving, but was interrupted by Qiao Yu before she could finish her words.
"Just consider it as a way to repay you for speaking up for me before."
Hua Yue looked at Qiao Yu's clear and serious eyes, and finally gave up insisting. She nodded and whispered, "Then... thank you all."
Wang Zha didn't understand what they said before, but he saw that Hua Yue not only didn't come down from the roof, but lay back down again, and the "嘤嘤" sound from her mouth became louder.
Qiao Yu touched its nose with amusement and said softly, "My dear Wang Zha, that sister is injured, just let her go."
Wang Zha actually calmed down when he saw Qiao Yu's gentle tone and soothing expression. He gently nuzzled Qiao Yu's hand, then lay down beside him obediently, no longer complaining.
"By the way, Qingchuan..."
Qiao Yu was about to say something, but suddenly paused, then turned his head to look at Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan understood and immediately set up a mental barrier around him.
Qiao Yu then continued, "Please ask Wang Zha what happened between him and the mercenaries on his team yesterday."
"What? That team of mercenaries is missing?" Yu Qingchuan raised his eyebrows, then he remembered that Wang Zha had brought a team of mercenaries up the mountain before.
He just felt like something was wrong, it turned out that one team was missing.
"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded, "Wang Zha came to us on his own last night."
Yu Qingchuan frowned upon hearing this. Although he was still a little angry at Wang Zha, he still muttered, "Wang Zha, where are the people you brought with you?"
Wang Zha licked his lips and let out an "Awooo", causing Yu Qingchuan to open his eyes wide instantly.
Qiao Yu blinked, "What's wrong? What did Wang Zha say?"
"It said...those people had been eaten by it..."
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen were stunned upon hearing this. Those mercenaries had actually been taken down by the king bomb?! Only Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian had a look of "as expected" on their faces.
"How could this happen?" Qiao Yu frowned deeply. "It has never been like this before."
She had always known that mutant beasts would eat humans, but what surprised her was not this, but that Wang Zha did not obey her orders.
Yu Qingchuan was also very curious. Wang Zha had always been the type of person who said, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me." So why would he go all out to eat someone this time? So he asked Wang Zha a few more questions.
It was not until he heard Wang Zha's answer that Yu Qingchuan felt that things seemed to be beyond their expectations.
Qiao Yu noticed the solemnity on Yu Qingchuan's face, and then glanced at Hua Yue on the roof, who was a little surprised because she suddenly couldn't hear their conversation, and whispered, "Let's talk in the car."
"Yeah." Yu Qingchuan nodded, his voice a little tense.
After the five people got on the car, and Jiang Zhan narrowed the scope of the mental barrier to the interior of the car, Qiao Yu continued, "Okay, now tell me. What happened?"
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips and said, "Wang Zha said that those people started killing each other not long after they came up the mountain, and they even wanted to kill it. It was like... they were provoked by something."
"What?!" Everyone was stunned.
Cheng Sinian's face darkened slightly. "Could it be that there are...psychic mutant plants and animals on this mountain?"
"Impossible!" Jiang Zhan immediately retorted coldly, "Ayu and I have already searched the entire east side. If there is a spiritual system, there is no way I would not have noticed it."
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
really.
The route of the team led by Wang Zha happened to be in the eastern half, within the range she and Jiang Zhan searched when they went down the mountain.
It has only been more than three months since the end of the world. Even if there are psychic mutant plants and animals in the wild, they will definitely not exceed the second level.
With Jiang Zhan's ability, he should be able to notice it immediately.
But Wang Zha can't possibly lie...
If it's not about mutated plants and animals, and it's not about the King Bomb...
"There's something wrong with that team of mercenaries."
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time, with a hint of certainty in their tone.
"What you mean is..." Yu Qingchuan hesitated.
Qiao Yu glanced at the mercenary team not far from the window and said, "Qingchuan, did you check the number of mercenaries when you came back?"
Yu Qingchuan shook his head and said, "It's too late to go. I'll go now." Then he quickly stood up and walked to the car door.
"etc."
Yu Qingchuan turned around.
"Qingchuan, besides counting the number of people, find a way to find out, without arousing suspicion, if they've experienced anything unusual before receiving this mission. For example, training, treatment, or if they've come into contact with any special people. Um... even minor differences in their clothing, food, housing, and transportation would be considered. In short, the more detailed, the better!"
"Okay." Yu Qingchuan nodded, "I'll do my best."
After Yu Qingchuan left, Cheng Sinian asked with a complicated expression, "What do you think... Commander Xie meant?"
"No." Qiao Yu shook his head. "We can't say for sure it was Commander Xie's work."
In fact, when things developed to this point, Qiao Yu no longer doubted Commander Xie.
Because if it really was him, this method would be too stupid.
The end of the world is a world where the winner is king, and this law of survival applies everywhere.
Human nature is greedy.
As long as there is power and interests, there will always be people pursuing them.
Now the three armies in the base are divided, and no one will give in to the other. It seems calm, but behind the scenes, there are turbulent waves.
In such an environment, anyone with a bit of common sense would never risk using such a tactic that would hurt the enemy by 800 and hurt oneself by 1,000.
Xie Ping'an has been able to become the commander of the Eastern Legion and stand on equal footing with the Northern and Western Legions for so long. He can't be a brainless reckless man.
But if it wasn’t Commander Xie… who could it be?
