Of course, this was just Eileen joking.
As a seventh-tier expert, Nan Yu is undoubtedly the strongest here, and since he was assigned by headquarters to be fully in charge of this investigation mission, it is impossible for him to change his mind.
However, after Nan Yu introduced Lu Ning, the other team members' attitudes towards Lu Ning changed completely, and everyone greeted Lu Ning with smiles and kindness.
"Next, let me introduce the others..."
After introducing Lu Ning, Nan Yu began to introduce the others.
He himself is a seventh-level Awakener, and has been at the seventh level for a long time, reaching the bottleneck of the seventh level. As long as he breaks through the bottleneck, he can advance to the eighth level.
His awakened ability is the extremely rare gravity manipulation, which gives you an idea of how powerful he is.
Xu Hui is a sixth-order fire control user.
Dennis is also at the sixth rank, but his ability is not for direct combat. His ability is super perception, which allows him to sense various anomalies such as killing intent and mental pollution.
Eileen, a sixth-tier awakened being, possesses the ability to control lightning, which is also an extremely powerful combat ability.
Lin Menglan, a fifth-tier awakened being, possesses the ability to control earth elements, which is highly practical, as evidenced by her construction of this defensive fortification.
Song Sinian, a fifth-order awakener, possesses the ability of extreme speed.
Afaf, a fifth-tier awakened being, has the ability to enhance her body.
Sherry, a fifth-tier awakener, has the ability to shapeshift. However, unlike ordinary shapeshifters, she possesses multiple shapeshifting abilities, transforming into a cat, a snow eagle, and a white tiger.
The cat and snow eagle forms are good for scouting, while the white tiger form possesses extremely powerful physical strength and is equally formidable in combat.
Cheng Yue, the last one, is also a fifth-tier Awakener. His awakened ability is sound waves, which he can use to attack and also to conduct some investigations.
The squad was fully equipped, with combat personnel for frontal engagements and scouts with extremely high speed and strong reconnaissance capabilities.
Moreover, just as Lu Ning had heard before, even the weakest team member had reached the fifth rank, except for Lu Ning.
Moreover, each of them is quite capable.
This is enough to show how elite this team is.
After understanding each other's abilities and strengths, Xu Hui asked, "Captain, what are the specifics of this mission?"
“Yes, I don’t know much about it. I heard it was a mission assigned by the Federal Headquarters,” Dennis asked curiously.
Under the firelight, Nan Yu said with a serious expression: "A year ago, Base City 121 sent out a distress signal to the outside world for the first time, saying that strange mutated phenomena had appeared in the base city and that it needed support."
"Shortly after the first rescue team was dispatched, it sent back a message saying that everything was normal in the base city. However, after that, the rescue team disappeared without a trace, as if it had vanished into thin air. That rescue team was a powerful squad led by three fifth-tier awakened individuals."
"As you all know, after base city number 100, they are no longer large base cities. Normally, such a rescue team is enough. After all, the number of awakened people in other base cities is also tight. They can't ignore their own base cities and force themselves to go and provide support."
"After the first rescue team ran into trouble, headquarters realized something was wrong and sent two sixth-tier awakened individuals to investigate. But the rescue team still disappeared without a trace."
"And we are the third team."
Everyone listened quietly to Nan Yu's words, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.
Cheng Yue spoke up: "So, Captain, you don't know what's going on in Base 121 either? It's just that both rescue teams, including the one led by a Tier 6 officer, ran into trouble? They couldn't even send a signal?"
That's right.
"Then why not send stronger Awakened Ones? What if we can't handle the situation in the base city?" Lin Menglan couldn't help but ask.
Nan Yu shook his head and said, "I've been there. Saint Qinglan just visited that base city a while ago. The information he received from the Fog Bureau of Base City 121 is that the two rescue teams didn't even go to the Fog Bureau of the base city. No one in the Fog Bureau even knew that a rescue team had gone to Base City 121."
"What?!"
Everyone was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.
"How is that possible? Wasn't the distress signal sent by the Fog Bureau? How could they not know?" Cheng Yue frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Nan Yu smiled wryly, "That's what Saint Qinglan thought at the time too. But the director of the Mist Bureau repeatedly stated that although there were disease outbreaks in their base city, the situation was generally under control, and there was no need to send out a distress signal. So they never sent out any distress signal at all!"
Everyone fell silent.
Afaf asked, somewhat taken aback, "...Then what's this distress signal all about?"
Nan Yu shook his head: "I don't know either, but the Saint Qinglan stayed there for a month and investigated the entire base city. He found that everything in Base City 121 was normal. The Saint was very busy, so he couldn't stay in a small base city forever, and eventually he left."
At this point, Nan Yu paused and looked at Lu Ning, saying, "After leaving the base city, Saint Qinglan also went to Base City 116 because she received a distress signal, which I presume Lu Ning knows about."
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, I know."
Everyone frowned.
Song Sinian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Since Saint Qinglan has confirmed that Base City 121 is safe, why do we still need to go?"
