Looking at the words on the note, Lu Ning and the others fell into an eerie silence.
Nan Yu's expression turned somewhat grim as he said, "Go check the room!"
The group entered Shirley's room and found the door open, with what appeared to be a dark and silent path leading down to it.
"Dennis, Cheng Yue, carefully sense if there are any suspicious people."
Dennis and Cheng Yue also looked grim.
After all, they were both scouts from the reconnaissance department, and they never expected that someone would put a note in their room without them noticing.
The two of them immediately used their abilities to the fullest extent.
However, after a moment, they all shook their heads with grim expressions.
“There are some ordinary people nearby, but no Awakened ones have been found,” Dennis said slowly.
Cheng Yue also spoke up, saying, "There are no signs of human footsteps on the path."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu's expression darkened, and then he slowly said, "This note must have been placed here during our previous conversation."
"It's obvious they're after us. The fact that they acted as soon as we checked in means they must have known our whereabouts beforehand."
"Moreover, either the other party has special means to evade Dennis and Cheng Yue's detection, or they took advantage of the gaps in their detection to send the note in. Regardless of the method, the other party must have some skills... I didn't expect that we would be targeted so soon after we arrived."
Cheng Yue said somberly, "It was our and Dennis's fault."
Nan Yu shook his head, not blaming the two too much.
“The abilities of those who are awakened through exploration are not insurmountable. You cannot maintain your abilities at all times, so naturally someone will find a loophole.”
Seeing Nan Yu say this, Cheng Yue and Dennis's expressions softened a bit.
Shirley looked at the note, her face grim, and said, "So, what do you think of what's written on this note?"
Xu Hui spoke directly: "I think the meaning of these words is a warning to us. Perhaps the other party knows there is danger here, so they want us to leave?"
Eileen crossed her arms and said thoughtfully, "Doesn't this match up with what Captain Lu said earlier? If it's really as Captain Lu said, that the entire base city has a high concentration of mental pollution, then even our small team might not be able to escape unscathed, and it's not impossible for us all to die."
Song Sinian, who was standing nearby, happened to see Lu Ning's expressionless face and his lips twitched: "...Captain Lu is alive."
Everyone was stunned, and then felt as if their hearts had been pierced.
Afaf murmured, "Being alive is just awesome..."
The others nodded silently.
Nan Yu spoke up: "Alright, what we need to do now is understand our current situation. Eileen and Xu Hui are right, what do the others think?"
Sherry said, "I think this could also be a form of intimidation. Because we are part of the reconnaissance team, the other side may be afraid that we will investigate further and discover the secrets of the base city, so they are trying to scare us away by intimidation."
The others seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
Lin Menglan nodded slightly and said, "I think what Shirley said makes some sense."
Nan Yu thought for a moment and said, "No matter what the reason, we certainly can't leave so easily. This note is also a clue for us. If we can find the person behind the note, it will obviously help us investigate the base city."
Everyone agreed.
Nan Yu then continued, "It seems we still have to take night shifts. There are ten of us, and three of us will take turns each night. Dennis and Cheng Yue, you two must take turns on duty."
Dennis and Cheng Yue both had very serious expressions and nodded.
They were also holding their breath, clearly not wanting this kind of problem to happen again.
"That's settled then. Sherry, Dennis, and I will be on night duty tonight. The rest of you can go and rest."
Lu Ning and the others nodded and returned to their respective rooms.
…………
The next morning.
After getting up and washing up, Lu Ning left the room.
The room where Sulli was previously staying was used as a meeting point, so Sulli chose to change rooms.
As soon as Lu Ning entered, he saw Nan Yu and the others playing cards.
Xu Hui was very lucky; he had a lot of chips piled up in front of him, and his smile was so bright it was almost blooming.
In contrast, Nan Yu, Dennis, and Shirley only had a pitiful few chips in front of them.
Eileen and Song Sinian were also watching the game from the sidelines.
Seeing Lu Ning enter, Xu Hui greeted him with a smile: "Captain Lu, would you like to play a few rounds with us?"
Lu Ning shook her head with a blank expression: "Never mind, I don't like it."
He had basically never won when he was in the Seventh Division.
The captain and Wang Qiwen always won.
Thinking of this, Lu Ning's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he went over to watch the battle.
Nan Yu laughed and said, "I've already ordered takeout. After we finish eating, let's split up. Lu Ning, you go and find a way to get close to Ke Qing and see if you can find anything. Dennis and I will investigate yesterday's note, and the rest of you will split into teams and go to various parts of the base city to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Song Sinian immediately looked at Eileen and said with a smile, "Eileen, shall we go together?"
Eileen crossed her arms, glanced at Song Sinian, and then looked at Shirley: "Shirley, let's go together."
Song Sinian's smile froze. Xu Hui, who had just pulled the chips on the table into his arms, patted his waist and said, "Little Song, come with me from now on, and I'll take you to new heights."
Song Sinian nodded: "Okay."
A short while later, the breakfast delivery arrived.
