After Wu Qi and Krees finished talking about the information obtained from this investigation mission, everyone fell silent. Everyone digests the information in their minds and thinks for themselves.

After a while, Yue Zhanfei stood up and said, "I'll summarize the information obtained from this investigation mission. The first is that the corpse virus in the wasteland has spread, and the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that the enemy we encounter in the future will be a corpse beast. The second is a whole desert plague long march across the sand sea, this long march has a certain possibility of being called by the third-order overlord in the depths of the sand sea, and it is not yet seen that they have anything to do with the boss, but there is one that shows that there may be similar plague long marches in other directions of the sand sea, and when all the plague long marches converge in one place, the unknown third-order overlord has a large number of desert legions. ”

Yue Zhanfei paused for a second in the middle of speaking, and then said with his own subjective thoughts: "These two important pieces of information are not related on the surface, especially the latter seems to have nothing to do with the boss we investigated. But I will say that don't forget that the place where the corpse beast first appeared was the sea of sand. The No. 4 investigation team of the Dawn Base died in the line of duty in the Sand Sea, which is the first place where the boss spread the corpse virus. And just as we were heading to the Sand Sea to investigate the boss, the third-order overlord of the Sand Sea suddenly summoned a large number of desert plague species with a 'call', and these two events coincided in time, and it was necessary for us as investigators to regard these two events as related, and think about how the undercurrent behind them might affect the Dawn Base and even the five human survivor bases. ”

After Yue Zhanfei's summary was completed, everyone listened to it, and all the ideas that they didn't understand were sorted out clearly by Yue Zhanfei's words.

The assembly meeting was over, and the team members in charge of the reconnaissance stand guard returned to their posts, and the wounded continued to rest in the center of the deck.

Yue Zhanfei walked to the back of the deck and stood with his hands in his hands. He looked at the orange sky in the west and the sinking sunset, and there was nothing at the end of the horizon, and he could not see the meaning of the undercurrent.

The world was calm, calmly like dozing off.

Da-da-da. Wu Qi walked to Yue Zhanfei's side with very light footsteps, Yue Zhanfei didn't need to look back to know that the person who came to find him must be Wu Qi.

"Wu Qi."

"Captain Yue."

Yue Zhanfei reached into the pocket on the chest of his combat uniform and took out a pack of cigarettes. He knocked out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Wu Qi.

"Huh?"

"Thanks, I don't have to." Wu Qi declined.

"Well, I don't like smoking this thing very much, it seems like we're the same." Yue Zhanfei said and put the cigarette back in his chest pocket.

Wu Qi also touched his chest pocket, in fact, he also stuffed a small pack of cigarettes in his combat uniform, but it was used to make friends. Yue Zhanfei seemed to be the same.

"Say, what's in mind. This team is probably the two of you and I who are most concerned about the outcome of the investigation mission and the subsequent development. Yue Zhanfei looked at the sunset in the west and said to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi opened his mouth and said, "I agree with the point you summarized just now, the third-order overlord in the depths of the Sand Sea suddenly 'called' a large number of desert plague species and the boss must have some kind of connection. First of all, the possibility of overlapping identities of the third-order overlord and the boss can be ruled out, because the bases located in the four directions have incidents of the investigation team being attacked and missing by corpse beasts, and the Sand Sea Overlord obviously does not have such a large range of action. The boss is an outsider, and I think the Sand Sea Overlord is as wary and hostile to the boss as we are. ”

"Go on."

"The overlord of the sand sea calls for a large number of desert plague species, nothing more than a powerful force, which it wants to use against an enemy that is too strong to solve alone, or to launch a war of aggression somewhere."

Wu Qi said this, and the shadows of Cong Yun Eagle and Giant Krees flashed in his mind. What these two third-order overlords had done was the main factor that constituted his perception of the "calling".

Yue Zhanfei nodded, he turned to look at Wu Qi's obsidian eyes and said, "I understand what you mean, do you think that the Sand Sea Overlord wants to fight against the boss, so he used 'call'." ”

"In terms of the speed and duration of that Desert Plague Long March, at least now the Sand Sea Overlord shouldn't be fighting the boss, after all, the Long March can't participate in time. The Sand Sea Overlord and the BOSS have either confronted each other, or the Sand Sea Overlord has been defeated and retreated after fighting once. Of course, there's the worst-case scenario. ”

In this context, what Wu Qi wanted to say Yue Zhanfei understood in an instant, and Yue Zhanfei said those words in a very soft voice.

"They're allied."

"Assuming that the boss is hostile to our human survivor base, he will negotiate with the Sand Sea Overlord and let the Sand Sea Overlord gather a legion and attack the Dawn Base closest to the Sand Sea!"

Wu Qi turned his head to look at the end of the horizon that Yue Zhanfei had been looking at earlier. The depths of those dark and deep eyes burst out with a sharp light, and the battle intent seemed to be condensed into a sword, stabbing at the distant and unknown hostility.

Yue Zhanfei originally wanted to say that this would not be beneficial to the Sand Sea Overlord at all, but he thought about it, if the BOSS had the ability to negotiate with the Sand Sea Overlord, he would definitely have the benefits that would make the Sand Sea Overlord happy. Coercion, inducement, or both, the Sand Sea Overlord naturally has the motivation to lead the Desert Legion to wage war against the Dawn Base.

The most terrifying thing is that this desert legion will be an extremely difficult corpse beast army to kill!

Yue Zhanfei couldn't help but be terrified after analyzing it, and he quickly shook his head, hoping that things would not be as the two of them had speculated.

After all, this terrifying "future" is the result of the two of them assembling all the known information, adding their own subjective assumptions and speculating on the worst-case scenario.

"Wu Qi, although your speculation is a little alarmist, and we don't have conclusive evidence yet, I will write this speculation into today's investigation report and report it to the investigation headquarters of Noah's base." Yue Zhanfei said. This is the way he agrees with Wu Qi's speculation the most.

Wu Qi let out an "um" sound.

This is the best means of prevention. If they had investigated the momentum of the Sand Sea Overlord's march towards the Dawn Base, then the Noah Base would not have enough time to send reinforcements. Although the results of the investigation were reported without conclusive evidence and their arbitrary speculation, the Noah Base Survey Corps Headquarters may not send troops to support, but it would be good to raise a little alarm for the Survey Corps Headquarters far behind.

The place where the boss left his footprints is not only around the Dawn base, but also the other three bases.

At this moment, a heart in Wu Qi's chest was surging, and there was a silk thread lingering around his heart, and the hairy tip of the silk thread tickled against the tip of his heart, making his premonition so strong that he seemed to see the real future.

This wonderful and strong premonition appeared in Wu Qi's heart when he said his final speculation. Wu Qi's instincts told him that the truth might be as impartial as he had speculated, or even worse.

"By the way, isn't the investigation vehicle destroyed, let's choose an earlier time to leave tomorrow. I want to go deeper into the sand sea to see. Wu Qi suggested.

"Okay. But then again, if the investigation vehicle hadn't been destroyed and the supplies were still abundant, would you have advocated staying in Shahai today? Yue Zhanfei saw that Wu Qi was both calm and extremely concerned about the situation in the depths of the Sand Sea, and couldn't help asking.

"After all, we still have to leave half of the people to send the investigation materials back to the base laboratory first." Wu Qi is serious.

The corners of Yue Zhanfei's mouth rose and he smiled lightly. He thought, this Wu Qi is really more concerned than him, the captain, and is wary of the possible danger that the Dawn Base may suffer.

Yue Zhanfei patted Wu Qi on the shoulder, soothing his vigilant and nervous emotions: "Don't worry, even if the Sand Sea Overlord really leads the Desert Legion to attack the Dawn Base, with the garrison strength of the Dawn Base, it will definitely be able to resist it." No matter how bad it is, there is still the city lord of Noah City. As soon as she, an adult, came out, looking at the whole world, which third-order overlord could stop it. ”

Yue Zhanfei was still very optimistic, and Wu Qi felt that he could learn psychological adjustment from him.

At the end of the day's investigation, Team 7 returned to Base Dawn. Yue Zhanfei informed Director Shi of the conclusion of the investigation, and stayed in his room to write an e-mail and sent it to the Noah Base Survey Headquarters.

When night falls, the dungeon is still the same as during the day, with giant golden lights illuminating the entire underground space. Just after the evening is the time of day when the streets of the dungeon are at their highest. Because the soldiers have to go home, the producers have to go home, and the work on the ground has to come down one after another by the spire elevator.

Guo Baibai continued to insist on training in the spiritual exercise method on the rooftop of the building in the business district. She is now a spiritual pioneer in the true sense of the word, and both feet have set foot on the path that Ruoying has shown her.

The first step is difficult, but it takes a lot of effort to continue to train one's mental strength and move forward on the path of a spiritual pioneer. The first third-order ability, Psychic Link, is just the beginning.

......

The thick darkness of the night covered the sky, and the silent moonlight carried the Dawn Base into a deep sleep. Thousands of kilometers northwest of the Dawn Base, the cold sea of sand, which was also shrouded in darkness, was awake.

The desert plague legions from the southeast and northwest of the sand sea were lined up in eight neat phalanxes, and the eight phalanxes of black pressure surrounded the eight directions, and in the central clearing, there was a 100-meter-high majestic beast, the Desert Dragon King, standing proudly on top of it. The four desert dragon lizards under the Desert Dragon Throne guarded the four directions under its feet, like the four generals who divided their troops and led the army.

The dark blue moonlight sprinkled on the huge body of the Desert Dragon King, which was covered in pitch-black shadows, and where the moonlight illuminated, there were scarlet lines all over the dark red skin, like a curse mark branded by a demon.

A tattered blood robe fluttered in the wind above the head of the Desert Dragon King, and the blood-robed man stepped on the head of the Desert Dragon King, looking down at the endless desert army at his feet.

"Good, good." The blood-robed man smiled sadly, his laughter hoarse and full of evil.
