Chapter 591 The tracking team lost contact
In the next few days, Chujiu pushed all the work aside, and the two of us had a rare few days of very comfortable life.
During the day, we chased dramas and watched variety shows together, and at night, we practiced together and then slept in each other's arms.
As for Xiaoqi, the jealous girl, she has been avoiding me these days. When Chujiu and I were in the living room, she ran to the bedroom, and when Chujiu and I were in the bedroom, she ran to the living room.
Once, she even teased Chujiu in the middle of the night, wearing a red dress and a scary makeup and running around in the living room. If Xiaoqi hadn't revealed her true identity, Chujiu might have really thought that there was a ghost in the house.
However, this comfortable life was soon broken.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Huang Shuai suddenly called me.
"Uncle Huang, Happy New Year." After I picked up the phone, I wished Huang Shuai a happy new year. Huang Shuai smiled and said, "Haha, you kid, if I hadn't called you, would you not even call me to wish me a happy new year?"
I laughed dryly and said, "How could that be, Uncle Huang? I'm busy..."
"Are you busy with your little wife?" Huang Shuai teased, but in return, Chujiu, Feng Churan and Xiaoqi, three girls, rolled their eyes collectively.
"Ahem..." I coughed dryly, and then asked, "Uncle Huang, is there something wrong?"
"Why, if there is nothing, I can't call you?" Huang Shuai smiled and said, "But, there is something wrong."
At this point, Huang Shuai took a deep breath, and then his originally teasing tone became serious, and he continued, "Do you remember the tracking team I told you about before?"
"Remember." I nodded.
Before, Huang Shuai had invited me to go into the Miaojiang Shiwan Mountains with the tracking team.
At that time, I was still tempted. After all, I would have to go into the mountains sooner or later, and traveling with the Wu Shushan reserve, we could take care of each other.
But Chu Jiu stopped me, resulting in my failure to set out with the tracking team in the end.
"They lost contact three days ago." Huang Shuai suddenly said.
My heart skipped a beat after hearing Huang Shuai's words: "Lost contact? Did they... encounter that flying zombie?"
"We don't know exactly what happened, but we have already located the equipment carried by the team leader through satellite. Today, I reorganized a search team and will set out again in the next two days." At this point, Huang Shuai paused, pondered for a while, and continued: "Originally, I was going to lead the team myself this time, but something suddenly happened in the northwest and I needed to go there, so... I hope Qianyu, you can go into the mountains with the team." After
hearing Huang Shuai's words, I subconsciously turned my head to look at Chujiu, and saw that Chujiu looked as if nothing had happened, with his head down fiddling with his newly made nails.
As for Feng Churan and Xiao Qi, they were also eavesdropping with their ears perked up. When they saw me turn my head away, they quickly retracted their heads.
I couldn't help but shook my head when I saw this, then I grabbed Chujiu's hand and said, "I will go into the mountains sooner or later. If I can go into the mountains with the Wu Shushan reserve team, I can get more care. Besides... that flying zombie is too threatening to you, I..."
"I know." Before I finished speaking, Chujiu interrupted me and said, "Go ahead, I have already bought you equipment."
"Okay." I smiled, then took a deep breath, and said to Huang Shuai, "When are we leaving?"
"In the next few days, the team will gather in Lijiang first, and then head to Xiangxi. When we get there, someone will pick you up and take you into the mountains."
"Then when do I leave for Lijiang?" I asked again.
"Tomorrow." Huang Shuai said.
"Tomorrow?" I turned my head to look at Chu Jiu again, then nodded, and said, "Okay, I understand. I will go to Lijiang to gather tomorrow."
"Qian Yu, there are a total of five practitioners including you who go into the mountains with you this time. They are all the elite among the elite, and there are five active soldiers. You will be the deputy captain and have the power to dismiss the captain. If you think the captain's judgment is wrong and biased, you can directly dismiss him from the position of captain and take over."
After hearing what Huang Shuai said, I was stunned, thinking to myself, my god, the deputy captain's power is actually greater than that of the captain?
What I didn't know was that in the Wushushan Reserve, the captains were basically practitioners who had undergone professional training and possessed extremely high combat qualities. They were both practitioners and soldiers, and their judgment of the situation was extremely accurate.
But once a battle broke out, the captain had to lead the way and rush to the front, so the captain's mortality rate was extremely high. Once the captain died, the team would easily be leaderless, leading to tactical chaos.
Therefore, each team would be equipped with a deputy captain who also had extremely high combat qualities, and this deputy captain was often a powerful figure in the Wushushan Reserve, and had the power to directly remove the captain from office.
The reason for this is that a few years ago, an accident occurred. A captain of the Wushushan reserve team was cursed by someone else and led the team into an ambush set by the enemy in advance, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire army.
"Uncle Huang, I'm young and I'm afraid I can't do it." I whispered.
The Wushushan reserve members who entered the mountain this time are all the elite among the elite. I am only 19 years old after the Chinese New Year, and these people may not obey me.
"Haha, don't worry, you have old acquaintances in the team, and I believe you will be fine." Speaking of this, Huang Shuai paused, and then he heard another voice: "Mr. Huang, there is a call from the northwest, it's very urgent."
"I know, prepare the plane, and leave now." Huang Shuai responded, and then said to me: "Remember to report to Lijiang tomorrow. After arriving in Lijiang, someone will contact you. I have something else to do, that's it."
After that, Huang Shuai hung up the phone directly.
"Brother-in-law, are you leaving tomorrow?" After the call was hung up, Feng Churan was the first to speak. She looked at me and said, "Tomorrow is only the fifth day of the first lunar month. Why don't we spend the Lantern Festival together?"
I shook my head and said, "This matter is very urgent, and... I don't have much time."
On my 20th birthday, my Tianshe fate will gradually disappear. Therefore, whether it is the dispute between the four symbols or the mystery of my life experience, I must find the answer before my 20th birthday.
Otherwise, I am afraid that from now on, I will never have another chance.
"Then... what about Xiaoqi? Is he following you too?" Feng Churan asked again.
These past few days, Feng Churan has been staying with Xiaoqi. Feng Churan is a child at heart and gets along well with Xiaoqi. She even took Xiaoqi out to eat delicious food a few times, so she asked this question at this moment.
I didn't make a decision for Xiaoqi, but turned to look at Xiaoqi.
"I'll go with you!" Xiaoqi glanced at Chujiu and said, "I can help Sister Chujiu take care of this big fool!"
