Chapter 65 Forest: Is her grave nearby?
As soon as the Free Base Guards entered the southern forest, the surroundings suddenly became dark.
The cold wind rustled through the treetops, making people feel uneasy and suspicious.
Lu Erya looked up and found that the forest was so lush that it almost blocked out the sky.
The evolved species living there are naturally more dangerous than each other.
After four years, Lu Erya set foot on this land again and found that his heart still ached.
It felt like being pricked by a needle, twitching and unable to stop.
"Captain, are you okay?" Old Wang noticed that she was more silent and gloomy than usual, and asked worriedly.
He thought Lu Erya would just shake her head as if nothing happened and quickly adjust herself.
Unexpectedly, she lowered her head and pressed her temples.
Then he covered his chest and coughed for a while, his eyes looking through the deep forest, no one knew what he was looking at.
This woman has slender eyebrows and sharp lips, and even her voice is cold when she speaks.
Today, however, he showed a rare hint of sadness, his voice tinged with pain. "I can still smell a foul odor. Is Xiaofeng's grave nearby?"
Four years ago, they were accidentally attacked by a swarm of insects while on a mission here.
The captain at that time, Feng Qiang, stayed behind to cover their retreat, but ultimately failed to catch up.
Lu Erya spent all his savings to hire strong men and went into the southern forest to conduct a carpet search.
In the end, only her body was found.
It was a very miserable description, with the head missing and most of the flesh on the body eaten away by insects, and dried blood stains everywhere.
Feng Qiang was emitting the stench of a corpse and her clothes were torn to tatters.
At that time, everyone was comforting Lu Erya, saying that it must not be Captain Feng.
But how could Lu Erya not recognize the body of the lover who was with her day and night?
She refused to allow anyone else to help her, and dug a grave for Feng Qiang on her own, burying her there forever...
Four years passed, and Lu Erya thought he had buried all his longing in the deepest part of his memory.
It will never hurt again.
But it turned out that she still couldn't let go, and it was impossible for her to let go.
Hearing Lu Erya bring up this matter, the people who were on the mission with her couldn't help but panic.
Feng Qiang’s death was a wound in the hearts of everyone in the first team at that time.
Half of them simply quit the team and became cowards hiding in the city, never daring to face danger again.
It was Lu Erya who later reorganized the team and recruited enough substitute players.
Most people have heard about Feng Qiang's incident, but only a few old team members know what really happened.
Hearing this, the new team members' eyes involuntarily fell on Lao Wang.
I hope he can say a few words to comfort Captain Lu.
Lao Wang thought for a long time and stammered, "It shouldn't be this area. I remember we entered the forest from another direction..."
At that time, Lu Erya was like a madman and forbade anyone to approach Feng Qiang.
She dug the grave so big that two people could lie in it.
I heard from other teammates that she seemed to have spent a night in the cemetery holding the headless corpse.
He wished he could bury himself alive with Feng Qiang.
Only Captain Lu knows the exact location of Captain Feng’s tomb.
Now listening to her words, don't you think she has forgotten?
Lu Erya nodded thoughtfully.
Her eyes held endless sorrow, but a faint smile played on her lips: "In that case... then I don't have to visit Qiangwei's grave. I just happened to forget to bring flowers."
When was the last time you saw a Lu team that looked so pitiful and like it would break apart at any moment?
Xiao Ye had heard about what happened before, and she endured it again and again.
He rushed over, shook Lu Erya's hand and said, "Captain, if this doesn't work, we should retreat first. We can let other teams do this mission."
"No." Lu Erya answered decisively.
The stench of corpse in her nose gradually disappeared, and her brain seemed to finally be able to think normally.
"This is a mission only we can undertake. Let's set up camp at the edge of the forest today. Once we've gathered enough intelligence, we'll head inside."
A few days ago, when Xinxue was sorting documents, her daughter Xin Guiye was playing with her.
As soon as the little turtle saw those old documents, his memory of being checked and balanced by the old city lord was passively triggered.
She immediately remembered that the old city lord had placed several talisman boxes in the southern forest.
The old man was not satisfied after mastering the talisman that could check and balance the giant turtle, and he created the talisman box, an evil object that could pollute the evolving species.
The energy in the talisman box is complex, chaotic, and full of danger, and is very likely to give rise to more powerful out-of-control evolved species.
It is a safety hazard that must be removed.
Now the evolved species are gradually being accepted by people.
If a large number of uncontrolled evolved species suddenly attack the city, it will be a hidden danger to all bases.
Not to mention what other bases would think about the Free Base now living with the evolved species.
Even the Free Base itself would feel resentful because of this.
Xinxue was really hesitant to let other people know about such an important task.
After careful consideration, it was handed over to the guard team.
Feng Qiang has been dead for four years.
With the passage of time, Lu Erya no longer dreams about her all night long and finds her pillow wet when she wakes up.
So I thought I had let it go so hastily.
Who knows that people’s thoughts may deceive the brain, but they can never deceive the body.
Wait until you actually reach the southern forest.
Lu Erya only then realized that the calmness and fearlessness she displayed before setting off were all an act.
The southern forest is the cemetery where her girlfriend is buried.
It is also a place of death that she cannot enter with a normal heart.
Setting up camp is a piece of cake for this team that has been working in the wild all year round.
More than an hour later, a temporary camp was set up and wisps of smoke rose into the air.
The warmth of the campfire somewhat dispelled the uneasy feeling in everyone's heart after entering the forest.
Lu Erya had no appetite, but still tried to eat half a bowl of stew.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks. "You guys are free to do whatever you want. Don't go into the forest, and don't act alone. I, I need to rest for a while..."
Curled up in the sleeping bag, Lu Erya thought she would not be sleepy, but she fell asleep quickly and slept very soundly.
Outside the tent, new team member Fang Ruoke peeked in and asked his teammates, "Captain Lu doesn't seem to be in the right shape today. Is he going to evolve?"
A few months ago, the news that the new city lord's mother awakened her supernatural powers in middle age caused an uproar in the entire Free Base.
Only then did people realize that Xinxue's special ability not only could heal hidden injuries, but also could expand the evolution line.
As members of the guard team under the city lord, everyone in their team has basically enjoyed one to three rounds of evolutionary guidance from the city lord.
Before departure, it was the Army's turn.
She stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a whole day.
Lao Wang was reluctant to talk too much about the captain's private matters.
After thinking for a moment, he just looked at her and said, "This place is very dangerous. We were almost wiped out here before.
The previous captain saved us, but he himself didn't get out.
You must not run around, remember?"
Lao Wang is usually very easy-going. This is the first time Fang Ruoke has seen him look so horrified.
She immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded repeatedly, "I remember, I remember."
Seeing her like this, Lao Wang felt a little relieved: "The purpose of this mission is to find something. If you encounter danger, hide if you can, so don't be too scared."
The camp was bustling with activity, and something big was happening in the forest.
Since a few months ago, the queen bee has been unable to produce bee pupae.
Or the humanoid bee colony that controls the entire forest will be completely wiped out.
Either the current queen bee will hide behind the scenes and wait for the next queen bee to emerge before abdicating.
No matter which answer, the ending for the current Queen Bee is death.
The collective will of the worker bees all thinks that the second option is better.
So they began to disobey the queen's wishes and desperately fed royal jelly to those qualified worker bees.
But Queen Bee Wei.
She didn't want to give up her position, nor did she want to die.
After a few months, Wei found out the reason why she couldn't lay eggs.
She hadn't mated for so long that all the bee pupae that had once been conceived in this body had already been born.
There is no longer any inventory.
Wei tried her best to avoid the collective consciousness of the worker bees, which could affect her degree of integration.
He secretly cultivated an army of guard bees to find a suitable mate for her.
Since four years ago, Wei and that woman have merged into each other.
The bee pupae produced were of higher quality than the last.
High-quality bee pupae cannot differentiate into drones with congenital underdevelopment.
So the guard bees had to leave the colony and fly around.
To find a creature worthy of the Queen Bee.
Unfortunately, the southern forests are notorious, and very few people dare to enter them.
The few humans that were captured before were all not in the Queen Bee's eyes.
The guard bees, which are nearly two meters long and have strong wings, were very excited when they smelled the scent of strange humans in the air.
They leaped and danced in the air, depicting a dance unique to human-shaped bees.
Upon arriving at the base, the humanoid bees flapped their wings and spread scale powder with intoxicating properties.
The scale powder fell into the water and began to emit a faint fragrance. After a while, the entire base fell into a deep sleep.
The guard bees used their sharp feet to tear open tent after tent.
After careful selection, all the young women of marriageable age were abducted.
She was tied up with several other women captured in different areas and prepared to be taken back to the Queen Bee for her inspection.
Feeling that the air around her was a little too hot, Lu Erya slowly woke up from her sleep.
Then she found herself sleeping in some high-quality blanket.
This blanket is heavy, thick, and moves!
Lu Erya opened her eyelids with great effort and saw the deep and terrifying forest, antennae dancing in the wind, and the hairy back of a humanoid bee.
She swallowed and looked around carefully.
After seeing that almost half of the team had been captured, Lu Erya felt a sharp pain in his temples and was almost going crazy.
What was even more painful was that she couldn't show anything and could only close her eyes and endure it silently.
At this time, she was at an altitude of more than 20 meters and all her equipment was removed.
If the human-shaped bee discovers that he has awakened, he will be dead.
Lu Erya is not afraid of death, as death will only reunite her with her lover.
But she didn't want to drag down the teammates left behind by Feng Qiang.
Then, she discovered something and was stunned.
I don’t know if the sleeping scale powder is more sensitive to people with special abilities, but except for her, all the teammates have not woken up yet.
Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, the humanoid bee carrying her suddenly paused for a moment.
Then she began to speak to the air.
He spoke clearly and eloquently, "This time, the harvest is quite good. Please rest assured, Queen, the spouse you desire will surely appear."
