Chapter 375: An Atmosphere of Restlessness
In the end, Wu Qi's proposal was agreed to by Morley. Morley sent Miranda to accompany Wu Qi and rearranged the patrol positions among several soldiers.
Several large mining machines were put into operation at the mine, and the entire mine was filled with noise that was difficult to get used to. At the same time, Wu Qi, Krees, and Miranda set off into the complex forest.
Wu Qi led the team to climb the mountain, and the slope of the forest land was not hurried or slow, but sometimes there were long roots of trees on the ground, low branches and leaves, dense bushes and other things that hindered people from moving forward normally. The closer you get to the depths of the forest, the quieter the environment becomes, and the quietness makes you nervous.
Miranda looked left and right in the dense forest, the forest was too quiet, quiet not like a living thing, but the woman's sixth sense told her to never let her guard down, this is a dangerous forest where dozens of second-order plague species will pop up casually, and to take it lightly is to look for death.
"Really, why didn't Morley let Doon come." Miranda grumbled in a broken voice. She is actually very bad at coping with this cramped and complex environment, both mentally and physically.
Wu Qi opened the way ahead, keeping his ears open to listen to any movement in his surroundings. Miranda's broken mouth naturally entered his ears.
The blonde Western woman Miranda and the black man Doon are close confidants of Morley, and they were only slightly injured in the battle with the wolves last night, which shows that their strength is not ordinary. In the final analysis, the people here have survived the tests of the fallen area, and they have the care of the goddess of fate in the case of survivability, so they are lucky to survive and join the Dawn Base.
Miranda's strength should be at the level of the second order, and according to Morley's psychology, he should keep stronger cronies by his side, so Doon's strength is eighty percent higher than that of this woman.
While Wu Qi was thinking this, the perception network suddenly sensed a creature that was very small but very fast.
The target is in the bushes 2 meters ahead.
Wu Qi pulled out his long knife and approached the bushes quietly. There was a fierce thud, and an arm-sized lizard ran out of the bushes. It has a gray back, colored markings on its back and abdomen, and a long tail that is extremely thick, but it does not show much aggression towards people.
This is a viviparous lizard, its target is not Wu Qi and his party, on the contrary, as soon as it senses Wu Qi approaching, it flees as quickly as if it has seen a natural enemy, and disappears at the end of Wu Qi's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
Miranda patted her plump breasts, as if she was startled by Xiaoxiao. The lizard was only a very weak first-order plague species, very common in taiga.
Wu Qi raised his head, and his vigilant spirit was not affected much.
The hunting party continued to open up the mountain trail. After another ten minutes, the place where they were was was already a little far away from the mining area, and the vertical and horizontal distances exceeded the place where Wu Qi had encountered the Black Wind Giant Bear yesterday and burned a large area of trees.
"Lord...... Chief, there doesn't seem to be a single gunshot coming from the mining area. Krees almost slipped his mouth and hurriedly changed his words. He is extremely unaccustomed to being called "Boss", but this is what Wu Qi specially ordered. No matter what his usual name is, it is better to change to a normal name if there are outsiders.
"I didn't hear that either." Wu Qi replied.
"I think last night was purely an accident, we have already killed all the plague species in this area, and at most a group of terrible wolves have moved here, and we have killed them again and fled. I said, isn't it superfluous to set up this hunting team? Miranda took the opportunity to say.
Wu Qitou didn't reply: "Even if there are no other plague species, there are still remnants of the wolf pack, and the head wolf with great wisdom and unknown strength has not shown up. The Black Wind Bear I've encountered is still unknown, and it's a formidable enemy with five second-tier abilities, and it's best to eradicate it during the hunt. ”
"Oh, is it? That's bothering you, come on. Miranda said absent-mindedly. She simply wanted to return to the mining area to do work that didn't require constant mental tension, but Wu Qi didn't seem to be such an easy person to compromise.
Miranda recalled that Morley had only changed his layout policy after talking to Wu Qimi. The fact is that Wu Qi persuaded Morley.
It was impossible for this young man to convince the Morley who despised him so much.
Time passed minute by minute, and the longer time passed, the stronger the strange feeling that the forest gave Wu Qi.
"Miranda, have you ever been on a mission to explore the forest?" Wu Qi walked in front and asked.
"We don't, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the mine seem to have."
Wu Qi thought to himself, so there would be no information to refer to and compare.
At this point, Wu Qi began to wonder if it was their simple luck or if the density of animals in the forest had indeed changed. As a matter of common sense, it is impossible to walk a kilometer or two without encountering a threatening plague species.
It's as if all the plague species are hiding together for some reason.
The hunting team is Wu Qi's proposal, he is not only from the perspective of the safety of the whole mining area, looking at the danger in front of it, trying to eliminate it; From a personal point of view, if he can kill a few second-order plague seeds and give Krees to drink blood, Krees can also quickly recover his strength.
I didn't expect them to have such bad "luck" and didn't meet anything.
What Wu Qi didn't expect was that such bad luck lasted all morning. They had almost climbed to the top of the mountain, and had made a large circle around the front hill near the mine, and they could not even find a second-order plague species. If you want to patrol again, you have to go to the back mountains, deep into the mountains.
"Hey, it's time for lunch." Miranda reminded and hinted to Wu Qi all the time that he could go down the mountain.
"Okay, go back."
Wu Qi finalized a sentence and led the team down the mountain empty-handed.
Back in the mining area, the bustling appearance of the logistics area immediately caught their eyes. Wu Qi looked around the edge of the mine and the buffer zone, and did not see a single trace of blood or the remnants of the enemy's corpses.
Wu Qi licked his lips and frowned slightly.
Krees was still with Wu Qi, and Miranda had already run back to Morley's camp.
It is estimated that this woman is going to say something to Morley again to hinder the proposal of the hunting team, and Wu Qi can't control other people's mouths, and he doesn't want to care.
Wu Qi and Krees returned to their team's tent, while Morley was eating in his tent.
Miranda lifted the curtain of the camp and immediately ran to Molly's side and sat down, and then took the lunch box brought by the courteous guards.
"Morley, let me tell you, there's nothing on the mountain! We walked all morning and saw snakes, lizards, rabbits and other gadgets. By the way, when I came back, I saw that the edge of the mine was quite clean, how many plagues have you been attacked? Miranda said with a mouthful. If it weren't for Morley's busy hands, she would have been eager to hold Morley's arm and complain "sweetly".
Molly didn't look at Miranda, saying, "The mine is safe, not a single plague species has come to attack." ”
Morley's words were simple and unsentimental. Miranda listened and continued to echo heartlessly, not knowing that Morley had let her ears block out her voice.
In those scarlet eyes that were as evil as the blood moon, an invisible storm was brewing.
