Chapter 710: Friends Next
The survey team rode a group of plague species, walked out of the exit of the mountain range at a uniform speed, and re-embarked on the vast wilderness of the Great Plains. The speed of the survey team gradually increased to 100 kilometers per hour, and no matter how high it was, it was only due to the limited speed and physical strength of the low-level plague species.
Maintaining a speed of 100 kilometers per hour while still being physically exerted is much better than walking.
Searching aimlessly for the Grey Queen's legions in the middle of nowheres is a very stupid and inefficient act. Wu Qi was only slightly worried, and the investigation team gave a perfect answer.
There is also a warrior among the Crouching Tigers who is good at tracking. He has the second-order "Trace" superordinate ability, "Tracesight". Beforehand, he had taken a blood sample from the Gray Queen during the battle, and at this moment, he used the preserved blood sample as a medium to perform a "trace guide". As a higher-level ability, the performance of "Trace" is superior to that of "Trace" in all aspects, and the precision is greatly increased, and it will not be as flawed as "Trace" that can be used to deceive.
In the field of view of the "Tracking Warrior", a large number of gray fluorescent particles floated in the air. Follow these fluorescent particles, and the fluorescent particles will naturally bring them to the Gray Queen.
The tracking warriors led the team at the front, with Nero and Songzha scattered on the left and right sides of the team, Wu Qi and Renee at the end of the team, and animal tamers and logistics soldiers who controlled the plague slaves in the middle.
Over time, the fighters who need to be vigilant on the periphery of the party and the warriors in the inner circle take turns alternating the outer positions. The survey team followed the gray fluorescent particles that tracked the Gray Queen in this orderly marching pattern. From noon to the march until nightfall, Nero ordered all the men to rest, and the soldiers set up their tents and took out dried meat and water bottles to replenish their consumption.
After a while, Wu Qi took the initiative to walk to the side of the tracking soldier. There were two other Crouching Tiger warriors next to the tracking warriors, Wu Qi didn't care about the number of people, and asked bluntly: "Is it far from the Gray Queen?" ”
"About 600 kilometers." The tracking soldier saw that it was the VIP and thug of the investigation team, "Qi Wu", and asked directly.
"Thank you."
Wu Qi walked back to the place where he rested, the side of his mount, Dire Wolf. He sat down on the spot and closed his eyes.
"Don't sleep, haven't eaten yet?"
Wu Qi heard Renee's voice again in the world where his vision was completely black. These days, it is always Renee's crisp and mature voice that surrounds his ears, and he listens to it a lot, and it feels more intimate than the voices of the rest of the investigation team.
If Gu Changzai is asked to evaluate Renee's voice, eighty percent is "sex. sense".
Wu Qi didn't even bother to ask the three words "what's wrong", and opened his eyes directly. Renee was holding a piece of freshly grilled red animal thigh, already skewered with an iron skewer.
Renee smiled slightly and handed the barbecue to Wu Qi. Wu Qi took the iron stick, looked at the fragrant barbecue meat with perfect roasting time, and asked casually: "Aren't all marching meat jerky, where did this come from?" ”
"The survey team unanimously agreed to slaughter two large deer to improve their diet, and the missing mounts were replaced by soldiers who had gone to the wasteland to catch new ones. This is roasted meat, and I'll bring it to you. With your sense of smell, it's impossible not to smell barbecue. ”
"It's not like I care about any smell." Having said that, Wu Qi still picked up the barbecue sent by Renee and ate it in a big bite.
Renee sat in front of Wu Qi and watched Wu Qi eat. Wu Qi was uncomfortable for a while, but it was not good for Renee to stop looking and go farther.
"The revelation of the gods of the wilderness can't detect the roasted meat, so you don't know if I've poisoned it, so you pick it up and gnaw it with trust." Renee said suddenly.
"I ate it, it's not poisonous, you don't have to scare me." Wu Qi said lightly.
Renee smirked, "Where are your brain circuits?" I mean, you naturally show your trust in me. ”
Only then did Wu Qi know that Renee was talking about this stubble. He didn't think there was anything worth saying about it.
"Hmph, I have the same goal as your investigation team, which is to kill the body that spreads the corpse virus, if you don't have my help, you want to win with your current strength?"
Renee crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "Hey, I usually can't see it, it turns out that you are still very proud in your heart." But if I tell who 'Ah Qi' is, it won't be a big deal for the whole investigation team to give up the body of the corpse virus for the time being. A drug stuns you, and when you wake up, you'll be back on the other side of the border. ”
"Okay, then I'll believe in Renee, who fought with life and death." Wu Qi looked indifferent and spread his hands.
"Haha, your way of speaking is quite interesting. It doesn't match your usual calm and ice-like aura. Renee joked.
The corners of Wu Qi's mouth rose slightly, and he immediately regained his calm.
"Hey, what did I just see?" Renee was surprised.
"Nothing." Wu Qi is serious and authentic.
"Nonsense, I saw you smiling. Born with such a good skin, it's a pity not to laugh, come, laugh more. Renee's eyebrows were full of smiles.
Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't make trouble, I look like a corpse, where do I get a good skin." ”
Renee held her cheek with one hand and looked at Wu Qi with a smile in her eyes. There was a sentence that came to my mouth and I swallowed it back.
In fact, she wanted to say, "Even if you become a corpse, you will still look handsome."
It's just that she can't say this kind of thing, and somehow her ears are already a little hot, and if she says it, the special and embarrassing feeling of "then" is afraid that it will come up again.
Renee recalled the scene where she handed her arm to Wu Qi to suck blood, and now she regretted it a little. It would be nice to take a cup.
Forget it, it's better not to take it.
The air was still filled with the sounds of other soldiers talking, and the faint crackling of fires in the distance. Under the night sky, the only small piece of light in the vast wasteland seemed to become very quiet. So quiet that no one in the world disturbs you.
"Hey, Wu Qi, can you still remember the first night we met in the cave?" Renee folded her arms around her knees and whispered.
Wu Qi finished eating the barbecue, subconsciously said "um", and his face suddenly changed slightly in the next second.
"Stupid, you said you leaked your mouth." Wu Qi reminded in a low voice, scanning everyone around him at the same time, his hand faintly approaching the handle of the long knife.
Renee also suddenly remembered. She gave Wu Qi a smile that meant "I'm sorry", and Sakura's lips opened lightly, slowly revealing her heart.
"At that time, I would never have imagined that one day we would be able to talk so closely, and you would joke with me and laugh in front of me."
When Wu Qi heard this, the movements of his whole body gradually stopped. It was as if he had "seen" a wonderful invisible thread. It was because of Renee's words that he saw that this invisible thread connected her, and on the other end of the thread, who else could be connected except himself.
"Renee, because we've become friends."
