Chapter 21: News of the Ghoul Tide
In the mountain gathering place, in the courtyard of the chief, torches are inserted on the walls on both sides, shining with people.
"Hasn't Feng Yuanqing come back yet?"
Xu Xiangming glanced at the members of the hunting team in front of him, and there was a hint of solemnity in his voice: "It's already dark." ”
It's dark, and everyone knows what it means.
Nightfall is the most frequent time for ghouls and the most ferocious time for mutant beasts.
In the current world, most of the people who are still outside the gathering place after dark are more likely to be more than lucky.
Even a B-rank booster was no exception, and unless it was an extremely strong master, no one dared to leave the high walls of the gathering place when it was dark.
"Boss ......"
One of the enhancers in the hunting team stood up and said in a low voice, "We have been searching for a long time, but we have not found the whereabouts of Feng Yuanqing's hunting team, they are missing near the Wolong Forest. ”
Wolong Forest is the Worm Hive Forest.
Because of its proximity to the gathering place of Wolong, it was named Wolong.
"Wolong Forest ......"
Xu Xiangming squinted his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "I remember, Feng Yuanqing's task today is to find trouble with the hunting team in the Wolong gathering place, right?" ”
"Yes."
Someone nodded.
Here are all Xu Xiangming's henchmen, all of them are high-level leaders of the mountain gathering place, and everyone jointly made the decision to secretly frame and fight against the Wolong gathering place under Xu Xiangming's instructions.
Feng Yuanqing, as the number one general under Xu Xiangming, is the only hunting captain who can lead a team to go deep into the Wolong Forest to carry out sabotage activities.
And Xu Xiangming also thinks that Feng Yuanqing has the strength to take on seemingly dangerous actions, at least in this one-third of an acre, unless the leaders of the surrounding gathering places take action personally, they can't stop Feng Yuanqing at all.
"Could it be that Long Aotian made a move?"
One of the enhancers groaned slightly and spoke, "He found out Captain Feng's intentions, so he targeted Captain Feng?" ”
"Unlikely."
Xu Xiangming shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If Feng Yuanqing wants to leave, no one can keep him, not even Long Aotian." ”
Feng Yuanqing is known for his speed, and Long Aotian's arrogant martial artist can't do anything about Feng Yuanqing at all.
Even if Feng Yuanqing may be caught by Long Aotian, he will not be able to escape, unless it is the master of Baihai City who goes out in person, but Xu Xiangming can't imagine that there is a master in Baihai City who will not be able to get along with him, so he specially helped Long Aotian.
You must know that your reputation and connections in White Sea City are much broader than that of Long Aotian, a reckless man.
"Who's going to do that?"
"Could it be that Feng Yuanqing was not killed, but he couldn't come back when something happened?"
"It's unlikely, you have to go back to the city before dark, it's an iron law!"
The enhancers were discussing, their tones were full of doubts and troubles, and they couldn't figure out what Feng Yuanqing had lost contact with.
"Don't guess, Feng Yuanqing must be more than lucky."
Xu Xiangming waved his hand: "But no matter what, even if Feng Yuanqing is dead, we have to find the body!" I have to give him an explanation! ”
Xu Xiangming knows people's hearts well, and the order was given by him, if he didn't care about Feng Yuanqing's disappearance, what would others think?
"Over there in the Wolong Forest, there must be something weird!"
"Chief, are you the meteor that you suspect in the Wolong Forest?"
Someone's heart moved, and he said softly: "Do you suspect that the Wolong gathering place has mastered the treasure that fell from the sky?" ”
"It's not out of the question."
Xu Xiangming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, continue to send people to find out the situation, and be sure to find Feng Yuanqing's whereabouts." ”
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Also, prepare, I'm going to White Sea City tomorrow, and I heard that the ghoul tide is coming again."
Xu Xiangming's words shocked everyone.
As one of the hundred cities, Baihai City has enough means to detect the movement of large-scale ghouls in advance, so as to be alert to the invasion of ghoul tides.
In the post-disaster world for more than 20 years, humans have tried various means to reduce the harm of ghouls.
It includes the large-scale formation and promotion of civilian teams, the reward mechanism for slaughtering ghouls, the encouragement of all people to kill ghouls, the organized field search and encirclement of ghouls every once in a while, and the construction of supporting early warning facilities and defense facilities......
But these methods can only allow humans and ghouls to coexist in a wonderful balanced relationship, unable to completely defeat the ghouls, after more than 20 years of mutation, the ghouls are no longer as weak as they were before the disaster first broke out.
The endless stream of strange ghouls is a headache for humans, especially the tide of ghouls that must break out every period of time, large-scale ghouls huddle and invade human gathering places, causing countless injuries, and each time many small and medium-sized gathering places will be destroyed, and even one of the gathering places of a hundred cities was tragically wiped out by ghouls a few years ago.
Many human catastrophe scholars have tried to study why ghouls persist in attacking human settlements, but it is difficult to find a suitable motive, and the only convincing reason is that ghouls need to raid new humans to complete the continuation and reproduction of their race.
It's hard to understand, but the ghouls have gradually transformed from a disaster product into a special creature, a special creature that needs to reproduce and compete for living space, and the necessities for their reproduction are humans.
This is a group of mortal enemies of humanity!
Any wave of ghouls should not be underestimated.
"I've already received a message from Baihai City, presumably Long Aotian should have received the news as well."
"When I leave the gathering place, it means that Long Aotian will also leave the Wolong gathering place together."
"There will probably be a few days of hard work, and everyone needs to discuss how to deal with this wave of ghouls in White Sea City, and these few days are your chance."
Xu Xiangming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "You must find the whereabouts of the Wolong Forest Meteor!" Check if there are any changes in the Wolong gathering place in the near future! Find Feng Yuanqing's whereabouts at the same time! ”
"Also...... The original plan was also carried out normally. ”
Xu Xiangming squinted his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of killing intent in his tone, the resources of the Great Forest belonged to Baihai City, he couldn't think about it, but he was bound to get the resources of the Wolong Forest.
Regardless of whether Feng Yuanqing really died at the hands of the Wolong Gathering Place, he would not give up the covert destruction and personnel attack on the Wolong Gathering Place.
"Yes."
Everyone responded in a deep voice, and after Xu Xiangming explained a few more times, he asked everyone to step back and prepare for tomorrow's affairs.
The departure of the leaders of the two major gathering places from the gathering place was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xu Xiangming felt that his chances of obtaining the Wolong Forest were much greater.
And...... This time he went to Baihai City, and the news of the outbreak of the ghoul tide also gave Xu Xiangming a new plan in his heart.
