As they drew closer to their destination, Chen Yu suddenly stopped, raised his hand and made a gesture. The superhumans behind him immediately stopped and crouched down to wait.
Chen Yu's ears twitched slightly as he listened intently. His brows furrowed, and he suddenly made a gesture behind his back, a gesture that signified concealment.
The superhumans behind him were originally awakened soldiers from the base. They had undergone long-term military training and, under Chen Yu's extensive tutelage, were already capable of obeying orders without question. As soon as Chen Yu gave the order, all the superhumans behind him sought cover and hid.
Chen Yu also found a secluded patch of grass and hid inside, keeping his eyes fixed on the outside.
Just as they hid, a group of people approached from a distance; it was Du Xueting and her group.
"Captain, why did we make this trip? Cui Yu and the others must be dead." A female wind-elemental team member followed behind Du Xueting, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
As Du Xueting strode forward, she sneered, "Our base commander doesn't believe he made a mistake in his decision. He tried to steal the crystal energy gun from the B City base, but he ended up losing more than he gained. Not only did he fail to steal the crystal energy gun, but he also lost three ability users. How can he be satisfied if he doesn't let us see the result?"
"What's the use..."
The group of ten people walked quickly past Chen Yu and his companions, talking as they headed towards their destination, completely unaware that someone was hiding in the bushes.
Once they were far away, Chen Yu stood up and looked in that direction with a deep gaze. It turned out that Qiyuan Base had set up an ambush for Team 3!
He made several hand gestures in the direction where the team members were hiding, and the team members, seeing this from afar, remained where they were and did not move.
Chen Yu ordered them to stay put. The enemy's forces were about the same size as theirs, and Du Xueting was already at level three. No one knew the extent of her strength. To minimize casualties, he went to scout ahead himself.
He moved nimbly and quickly approached Du Xueting and her group.
They soon arrived at the scene of the incident, but there were no intact bodies left; only severed limbs remained. Du Xueting frowned slightly, as the number of bodies did not match up.
"It looks like the two teams have clashed head-on and both have been killed." The female team member squatted down, examined the corpses that had been gnawed into pieces, and then turned her head away in disgust. In such hot weather, the corpses had already started to rot and stink after just a few hours.
"The body is so badly damaged that the fatal wounds are no longer visible, Captain."
Du Xueting stretched out a branch and searched the ground, even moving aside the rotting corpses, but she still couldn't find the crystal energy gun from the B City base.
"People from both bases are dead here, but the Crystal Energy Gun is missing, which means a third party was here. Who could it be?"
The first person Du Xueting thought of when she thought of someone who could take down three superhumans was the ice-type superhuman she had been "thinking about," and she suddenly smiled.
The other team members wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Under the intense sunlight overhead, their exposed skin was already starting to get sunburned. They grimaced and looked at each other, wondering what the captain was laughing about.
Du Xueting walked to the side and waved to the team members, "Take a picture, then we'll go back."
They quickly took photos and left the scene; in this weather, they couldn't wait to get back to base.
Only then did Chen Yu emerge from the shade of the tree. He walked closer to examine the body, his eyes narrowing slightly. Suddenly, he pulled out a dagger from behind him and pried open the head of the deceased from the Qiyuan Base. The crystal core inside was gone, but there were no wounds on the skull. Had he died from a broken neck?
Who exactly did this?
But it's clear that the people from Qiyuan Base killed their own people first, and then they were killed by a third party, who was the one who took the Crystal Energy Gun.
After reaching a conclusion, he quickly left the scene.
Unbeknownst to them, a pair of enormous eyes were watching everything from the bushes, and hatred slowly crept into those eyes.
After returning home, Du Xueting sat in the chair in front of Yang Songming's desk and insisted that Lin Ruo was the one who had killed the superhumans at Qiyuan Base.
It must be said that Du Xueting stumbled upon the truth of the matter by accident, but the two high-ranking officials in front of her did not believe it.
"Who else but her has the ability to kill three superhumans at once?" Du Xueting said calmly, seeing Yang Songming's disbelieving look.
Yang Songming waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, I understand, you can go ahead and get busy."
Du Xueting shrugged, looking indifferent, and turned to walk out of the office. She didn't care whether the people at the base believed her or not, as long as the mission could be completed.
Yang Songming stared at her retreating figure, his eyes unfathomable.
