Chapter 23: Evacuation?
"Then, what should we do?" Qu Jiani obviously remembered what he had said about the beast tide during the lecture, and even his lips turned white now.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Wangsheng's command sounded: "Bi Yu three o'clock, Baisheng nine o'clock, the others, move closer to me." ”
A group of soldiers immediately stood up according to the password, although the position changed, they still blocked Yin Qingyue and the five people behind them.
Wu Peng looked at the soldiers standing three steps away from them, he hadn't reached the innate realm yet, and he couldn't transmit sound to speak, let alone cloth soundproof barriers, so he had to lower his body, leaned into the middle of the five people, and proposed in a very low voice: "Or, let's use that thing to go first, and come back next time?"
This was the first time they had gone on a mission without the accompaniment of an elder, so the clan had prepared a lot of things for them to carry just in case, although the backpacks of several people looked inconspicuous, in fact, the space inside was large enough to put down a stretched camp bed.
The "thing" that Wu Peng said is also one of the items specially prepared for them in the clan, referring to the special teleportation jade talisman made by the clan, which is specially equipped for the clansmen who have dangerous tasks, and can be crushed at a critical moment and directly teleported back to the clan.
Qu Jiani's eyes lit up when he heard Wu Peng's proposal, and he nodded vigorously.
"But what should we do with this mission? It's a shame to fail the first mission. Qin Ye also leaned his head in to express his opinion.
"It's also a ......," Qu Jiani echoed softly.
"But this is because I encountered the beast tide, and I almost hung up in the six innate circumstances, not to mention our group of rookies. Wu Peng argued, Qu Jiani felt that he was right, and bit his lower lip again and stopped talking.
"Don't forget, we can't use mana in front of ordinary people, and these soldiers have also seen our student IDs, and suddenly a few big living people disappeared in front of their eyes, have you thought about what we will face next?" Qin Ye retorted again, and after speaking, he found that several people were looking at him with surprised eyes, and the baby's face turned red into apples.
"Okay, Qin Xiaoye, I didn't expect that when you were facing danger, you would actually think more thoughtfully. Qu Jiani said jokingly.
Qin Feng touched his younger brother's hairy head, smiled at him appreciatively and encouragingly, then restrained his expression, and said to the three of them in a solemn and low voice: "Look at those soldiers who prohibit orders and do not express their opinions indiscriminately, and then look at yourselves." ”
The three of them suddenly remembered Yin Qingyue's words on the train, as well as the promises and guarantees they took the initiative to make when they expressed their willingness to stay and follow her, and immediately lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at her.
Yin Qingyue guessed that he had something to say as early as when Wu Peng was looking at those soldiers, and secretly pinched the trick in his hand and laid a soundproof barrier around the five of them.
At this time, seeing the appearance of several of them, there was a small smile in his eyes, but his voice was unwavering: "It seems that your discipline is as bad as ever." ”
"Not next time...... the three of them whispered their mistakes.
"However, if you begin to learn to actively analyze the pros and cons, then my words are not in vain. ”
The three of them didn't expect Yin Qinghuan to say this, so they all looked up at Yin Qingyue, and after being surprised, they wanted to speak, but Yin Qingyue waved his hand to stop them.
"Time is pressing, we'll save that for later, and now, I'll tell you about the specific situation. ”
So, she deliberately skipped her speculation about Li Wangsheng and the other soldiers, and just concisely and quickly explained the situation that she had detected with her divine sense.
After finishing speaking, Yin Qingyue did not give her decision directly, but stood silently, giving a few people time to digest, and also observing everyone's expressions by the way.
The four guards, except for Qin Feng, whose faces were solemn, and the remaining three showed some uneasiness and fear on their faces.
"Brother, aren't you afraid?" Qin Ye glanced at his brother and leaned into his ear and asked.
"I'm sure Qingyue will take us through this. Qin Feng also replied in a whisper to his younger brother.
Qin Ye wanted to say something, but Yin Qingyue's voice had already sounded again.
"I know that when you encounter such a situation, you will definitely be more or less afraid and withdrawn. ”
"But why are you still willing to go on this mission with me when you know that you are not accompanied by an elder, and are you still willing to stay after listening to what I said on the train?"
"I think, in addition to the so-called duty of being a personal guard, more than that, you want to prove yourself, right?"
The four of them nodded in unison.
"How can an eagle learn to fly on its own without experiencing the breaking of its wings, and in the same way, if we encounter something and the first thing we think of is to retreat instead of sharpening ourselves, then what is the point of this mission? How can we grow up? Can we hide under the wings of the elders of the family forever? Are you willing to be a person who will never grow up and cannot be on his own?" The four of them nodded and shook their heads as she spoke, their eyes gradually changing from uneasy and frightened to full of fighting spirit.
"Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that you follow me, regardless of it, and rush forward without any plan, which is not bravery, but recklessness, and death. ”
She took out two maps, one was drawn by the eldest brother of the clan, and the other was downloaded and printed online, which stretched for more than 100 kilometers and covered an area of more than 2,600 square kilometers of satellite maps of the Dingtian Mountain.
Qu Jiani was very eye-catching, and immediately turned on the flashlight to shine.
"According to what I just said, the forest we entered from the southwest, the last place where the beasts ran and reached must have been from due west to southeast, so these directions can not be considered. ”
"Now those two powerful mana fluctuations are stalemate in the northwest, so this is the direction where the last affected beasts began to pour out, although some of them ran to the mountain, but most of them, still ran towards the southwest and our side, and there are elephant herds in it - not to mention those two energy, not to mention the current we can provoke and contend with, there is no need to hit the stone with eggs, it is the elephant herd, even if we can use mana, it is best not to go to the hard, then, this route can also be ruled out. ”
"According to my investigation, the northeast and due east directions are currently the few beasts, but there is a deep and long cliff over there, which surrounds from the northeast to the southeast, and under the cliff is the wide and turbulent Mingjiang River......."
"To sum up, we can only choose due north to rush over, although it is also very risky, but the herd of beasts that sprung up over there was guided by the northeast to the southwest, and the north is not only our previous destination, but also another exit from this forest, we go to the destination to investigate, if there is no new discovery, we can continue to the north, from that side on the national highway, find a way to ride back. ”
Yin Qingyue raised his hand and glanced at the luminous watch, "There are about six minutes left, and the peak of the beast tide will pass through here." ”
"I give you a minute to think about it, if you want to quit, I will not blame and hold accountable, and will find a way to cover her (he) to crush the jade card and leave, and if you decide to stay, I will fight side by side with her (him) to the end, and do my best to protect her (him) - this is my promise. Her voice was not loud, and there was no impassioned language, but the four of them could feel her solemnity and determination.
After speaking, she waved her hand to untie the enchantment, Li Wangsheng's side had already deployed a new plan, before he saw Yin Qingyue and a few people talking, so he didn't come over to disturb him, and when he saw her looking at himself, he took a long leg and strode over.
"We're escorting a few of you and we're going to evacuate due east, where near the cliff there, there's a flat area wide enough to take you out. ”
"You've already told the helicopter to come?" After Yin Qingyue was sure that they were not ordinary soldiers, he was even more jealous of Li Wangsheng in his heart, and he wished to part ways with them as soon as possible, but he never wanted to separate by military helicopter - that would be contrary to their decision just now.
"Not yet. Li Wangsheng thought for a moment and added, "I respect your wishes. ”
Yin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, but you should have your own tasks, don't waste time for us." ”
"We are soldiers. Yin Qingyue's politeness made him a little unhappy, and he returned to concise language.
"I see what you mean, but we've decided we're going due north. Yin Qingyue glanced at the time, and heard the unhappiness hidden in his tone, and didn't bother to continue arguing with him, so he simply said the decision directly.
"It's decided?" Li Wangsheng looked at her, his eyes became deep and incomprehensible, and his tone seemed to be suddenly better.
"It's decided. His uncertainties made Yin Qingyue inexplicable.
Li Wangsheng looked at her deeply, and then said, "Okay." ”
Then, he turned to the group of soldiers and said coldly: "All of them! No matter what happens, you will never be allowed to divulge a single word to anyone outside the scene!"
"Yes!" the nine replied in unison, although most of them were puzzled by this decision, but as soldiers, they had long been accustomed to absolutely obeying the orders of their commanders when performing tasks, not to mention, after experiencing large and small tasks and battles together, Li Wangsheng was the person they trusted and admired the most.
When Yin Qingyue heard Li Wangsheng's words, her right eyebrow was raised habitually, and then she said, "Thank you." "This time the thanks are much more sincere than before.
Because she knew that Li Wangsheng was telling her in disguise that when there would be a battle, the five of them could use spells without any worries.
Li Wangsheng nodded to her, and then went to explain that his subordinates did not need to detour to the northeast first, and went directly to the north according to the original plan.
Yin Qingyue also turned to look at his four guards and asked, "It's time to go, what is your decision?"
