Volume 1: The Beginning of Change: Chapter 77: The Way Home
Chen Chu looked back at the city in the distance that was shrouded in mist, where the sky seemed to be obscured by darkness, like a cage, indeed a cage.
There was no sign of any human smoke, birds, beasts, or other living creatures from the outside, and it was silent, a prison of death.
Happy, confused, frightened, sad, confused...... All kinds of emotions are there, and they are spread and entangled. Even though he was now far away from it, out of the fog, he suddenly felt that most of the world seemed normal, but in fact he was already in the depths.
Even though it is now in the outside world, the sun that has not been seen for a long time is shining on the body, but it seems that it has always been in it.
He frowned, his mind indescribably complicated.
The trip to the provincial university, which has ended, is the place where the change began for him, and it is a starting point. On the first expedition, one hundred and sixty or seventy people went, and those who came back alive...... Nearly 100 people.
Many people have nothing to do with him, or even know each other, but for some reason, it makes Chen Chu feel sad and panicked.
Either way, their mission is accomplished, and here it comes to an end.
This area will also be used as the first officially established and closely supervised training area in China to sharpen future generations. In the future, countless humans will be thrown into it, fighting, grinding, and finding ways to become stronger.
…………
Yan Qingxue noticed that he was strange and poked him: "What's wrong?"
Chen Chu didn't answer, smiled, and walked with her to get into the car, which was a special car to transport them back to the supply depot of the military base.
The hundreds, the car began to drive away, and they were further away from the provincial university.
…………
"Warriors! Welcome back!"
The car carrying them finally stopped, and at this time it had reached the outside of the martial law circle, and Chen Chu heard this familiar and loud voice as soon as he got out of the car.
Led by Jiang Jin, Qi Feng, Sun Dong, and more than a dozen strangers stood behind, all dressed differently, some wearing military uniforms, some in suits and leather shoes.
But they all have the same calm momentum, standing there without anger and self-authority, and they all look extraordinary. Their eyes were looking around in the crowd that came down, it should be the family members of those officials and rich families, and at this time they had a sad look on their faces, anxiety and expectation, because they were parents.
However, there are only a very small number of people who can come here, and they are all powerful people, all of whom were the people who wanted their children to come here to obtain the quota of genetic medicine in the first place.
It's just that...... There are those whose sons and daughters remain forever in the land that is filled with fog.
Two minutes passed, the car drove away, and everyone got off.
"Huh? Why didn't you see my Xiaoya?" The woman in the black overalls frowned, she was a political bigwig, and now her daughter was not seen in the crowd.
Jiang Jin sighed heavily when he heard this, and when he saw that less than a hundred team members got out of the car, he understood.
Those who came back were alive, and those who did not come back were dead.
In this regard, he is very helpless and regretful, but what can he do?
He knew that there was danger in the misty area, and that mutated creatures could endanger lives, not to mention the invasion of the mysterious Tianzhu Ability. Even those who returned were wearing colors, and there were heavy casualties.
"What about Chandy? Why didn't I see him?"
"What about Yu Xin, Hu Yu Xin?! Lao Jiang, is there still anyone who hasn't arrived, why haven't I found my family's Yuxin?!"
Some people panicked and didn't see their children, and they immediately became anxious, and they also vaguely guessed, but they didn't want to admit it.
Jiang Jin was questioned, he was the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and he was annoyed by the crowd at this time, but he didn't go back angrily, first, their identities are not simple, most of them are bigwigs, or in military circles, or in political circles.
The second is what can be done to reply, the person is already dead.
"All personnel returning from the Fog Zone should immediately go for a physical examination, and then go to wash and tidy up, and gather in the cafeteria at six o'clock in the evening." He arranged at the top of his voice, and the three teams were immediately mobilized.
Jiang Jin turned to face the high-level personnel who came to greet their children, and sighed: "I don't think I need to explain anymore, all the people who are alive are back." ”
After that, he wanted to leave, and there were still a lot of things to deal with for him, and he could come and meet them all in time.
But those who didn't see their children return safely suddenly exploded, no matter how good their self-cultivation skills were on weekdays, they couldn't care about their demeanor at the moment.
"No! You'll have to give me an account. ”
"Why did my child die? Why is he dead?"
"I will accuse you! Abuse of power to send my children to death!"
They were still noisy, and Jiang Jin suppressed the anger in his heart: "When you want to compete for the quota of genetic medicine liquid and send them here, you must have this awareness." ”
He added again, and left.
"This is war! War on Humanity!"
After that, they ignored them, and they couldn't make waves, because this first operation was approved at the highest level, and it was an exploration for the survival of humanity.
Whatever the original intentions of these bigwigs, since they want to send their children here and into the Misty Zone, they must be prepared for unfortunate situations to happen.
If you die, you will die, and there are many people in this world who have died due to mutations, so why can those ordinary people die, but their children can't die.
…………
Tell everyone the latest news about what is happening in the world today, and they generally know it through communication, and what they listen to at this time is mainly the key points and details.
However, it also took more than an hour, and after that, Jiang Jin looked at the nearly 100 people sitting below, and couldn't help but shout again: "Warriors, welcome back!"
The crowd was a little moved, for they had come back alive.
For the three teams that had just returned, Jiang Jin said about the tasks ahead: "You also know that there is a big gap missing in the martial law circle, although it has been blocked now, but there are many mutated creatures that have escaped from it and brought great harm to the surrounding cities. ”
"Of course, we carried out the suppression, protection and clean-up of the army at the first time, and now the situation is basically under control, mainly with the participation of the military."
"As soon as you come back, you won't be put into battle again immediately, you will have five days off, you can take advantage of the rest and go home at this time."
"As soon as this holiday is over, you have to return here immediately, and there will be many things to come. At that time, there will be rewards for you, awards for you, and specific arrangements for you. ”
"At the same time, we have already settled the harvest and loot of your trip, and the points obtained will be registered on your information card after statistics, and they can also be exchanged, and the exchange rules have also changed, you can use the points to exchange for specific metal equipment, or customize specific weapons and equipment......"
said a lot of things, Jiang Jin also knew that they couldn't remember too much, and more specific things would be sent to them on a specially customized satellite phone.
However, these are their arrangements, and the three teams have their own arrangements, and the most important of them is the pale golden crystal. For this, they paid a very heavy price, which is equivalent to saying that it is a trophy in their common together, and they also know the importance of this thing.
"How will we distribute the pale gold crystal we got on this trip?"
Jiang Jin pondered, even he had no answer to this question now, and it had been handed over to the upper echelons to arrange for discussion.
After all, this small piece of source crystal is too valuable.
When the white source crystal appeared in their field of vision, it was already shocking, this is a good thing that can be compared to the genetic medicine, according to this afternoon, when Jiao Yu and the others took out the pale golden source crystal, there were already experts who tested it.
Just this small piece of pale golden source crystal contains dozens of times the energy of the white source crystal, and its value far exceeds that of the genetic medicine.
According to the comparison of the white source crystals, just such a small piece of golden source crystals can already be sure that the energy contained in them can make ordinary people awaken a kind of ability after taking it!
This is tantamount to directly creating an Awakened One!
Such a value has aroused the game and snatching of the upper bosses, and this intensity is far beyond the genetic liquid at that time! It has become a battlefield for military bigwigs.
There is nothing they can do about this, it is not a level that they can get into.
It's forced to turn it in, and while it's promised to give them what they deserve, what reward is there for them to get the benefit of another ability?
Although the members of the three teams were very angry, because they brought it back, but even so, they did not have much say in this source crystal.
They couldn't help but think that if they encountered such crystals in the future, it would be best to be able to secretly take them themselves......
"I will give you the corresponding reward, now you will first come to receive your own satellite phone, you first familiarize yourself with the functions, including the installation of Huaxia's most advanced positioning system, satellite communication system...... There will be a lot of tasks scheduled to be posted and notified ......"
In the end, the assembly team was disbanded, and from now on they had five days of vacation, which they could arrange freely.
…………
"What's the arrangement?"
Looking at the long-lost moon, Yan Qingxue and Chen Chu sat under the iron net of the martial law circle.
"What else can I arrange, I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and I'm going to rush over tomorrow to accompany them for a few days." Chen Chu replied, his tone full of longing for them.
In a place where Chen Chu couldn't see, Yan Qingxue pursed her lips while she was in the shadows. This nerd, don't you know the hidden meaning of your words? But she can understand, because she also misses her parents.
"How many days?" She asked.
Chen Chu pondered for a while, "Four days, come back in the afternoon of the fifth day." ”
Under the moon, the girl pouted again.
"What about you?" Chen Chu asked.
"Tomorrow to go...... Stay for three days, they are too busy to take care of me, and they will come back on the fourth night. ”
"Oh, good." Chen Chu replied.
"Peace be upon you." He added a dead sentence......
Yan Qingxue: "......"
The girl is full of black lines, don't say it if she can't speak! It's like I'm going to have an accident......
"Then I'll see you in a few days~" Yan Qingxue didn't know how many times she pouted, so she replied arrogantly and turned to leave.
Chen Chu directly booked a ticket to Kyoto on the spot, and left tomorrow morning, his parents had not seen him for a long time, and he was finally able to take this opportunity to go.
"Hmm...... When will you be back? Or...... Fourth night?"
