99 Forest Exploration
"Captain Sun, our team has now completed the search on the periphery of the area, have you decided to speed up the march?" Dorgil leaned over and whispered to Sun Linsheng.
She served as the Vice-Captain during the operation, serving as a Communicator and Recorder to maintain liaison and record the entire process with the other two teams.
The steel helmet worn overhead will record the entire exploration, and will be in constant contact with the HQ Information Center in Sector 1, which will be able to see them live while they are operating.
Sun Linsheng straightened up slightly and looked around at the surrounding situation: "Well, you can speed up your actions." ”
……
As the exploration deepened, the surrounding air gradually became dry, a climate that should not exist in the jungle, and Sun Linsheng quickly noticed this.
"Do you feel a big change in the humidity of the air?"
"It's like... I didn't notice it. Dorgill replied.
"Strange, I obviously feel that the air is much drier now than when I first entered the forest, is it an illusion?" He muttered.
"Does the difference in air humidity have any important effect?"
"Ahh It's not something that needs to be particularly cared about..."Sun Linsheng said, using his hands to push away the plants in front of him and continue to walk.
"Captain Sun, can you give me a specific introduction to the ultimate goal of this exploration operation? After all, we only knew about the appearance of the 'coral tree' before we set off. Dorgil asked curiously, speeding up his pace and going hand in hand with Sun Linsheng.
Sun Linsheng pondered for a moment and said, "We found that huge 'coral tree' in a forest in the desert of the fifth district, it is located at the lowest end of a huge crypt, and its height is about a hundred meters! The whole body emits a bright blue light, and there is a halo of bubbles floating around it, so the coral tree has not been investigated in more detail because it was attacked by enemies when it first entered the area! ”
"Is that so? It's no wonder that Lord Roclay, the leader of the 'Breakaways', is sending you to explore once again. Dorgir nodded in understanding.
"By the way, Captain Sun, you're not a member of the 'Breakfreer', are you? Why did you join this expedition as a member of the 'Breakaway Expedition'? Was he hired by Lord Roclay? Again, she questioned.
Sun Linsheng, as the president of the well-known guild 'Sea Priest' in the third district, has a well-known reputation for being young and promising, and it is difficult to imagine that one of his guilds would accept the commission of other guilds to participate in the mission as an employer.
"I volunteered to join this expedition." Sun Linsheng replied simply.
"Voluntary?"
"Yes, I had the idea of finding out the truth behind this concentration camp for a long time, but due to the lack of resources at hand, I have not been able to officially launch my own operation. However, not long ago, after I participated in the incident in the Third District, known as Operation Raid, I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Roquere, and during the conversation, I found that he had similar ideas to me, and had already started his own project, so I naturally accepted his invitation to join his exploration plan..."Sun replied, and his mind couldn't help but recall the situation when he met Roquere on the day of Operation Raid.
"Oh!? Isn't that 'Raid' you are talking about the same 'Raid on the Liberators' that took place in the Third Ward two weeks ago and caused a stir in the entire concentration camp!? Dorgil's eyes widened slightly, as if he remembered something.
"Yes, but I quit the operation shortly after it started, and I don't know much about what happened next."
"That incident cost the freers nearly 200,000 fish balls! And so far they haven't been recovered! Let's just say that the event was led by the 'Hermit Crab' guild, with more than 40 guilds participating and thousands of powerful warriors joining it!? Dorgil became slightly agitated, and his voice gradually increased.
"Shh Sun Linsheng pressed her head, and it was she who lowered her voice.
"I'm sorry!" Dorgil lowered his head, his face still full of adoration.
"As a participant in that 'assault operation', Captain Sun deserves to be punished by Lord Roclay, but why is he here to reconnoiter on behalf of the 'Breakfree' as a member of the expedition?"
Faced with the answer, Sun Linsheng smiled: "I really haven't thought about such a question carefully, after all, I chose to surrender on my own initiative early in that operation, and collected my troops and left the battlefield, or maybe those 200,000 fish balls are just a drop in the ocean for the fish ball reserves of the 'Breakers', right?" ”
"That's... That's pretty impressive," Dorgil said with a slight surprise.
"However, I think the reason why Lord Luo didn't care about it is probably because he has the same interests as the two of you, right? In addition, you are not the culprit of that 'assault' yourself, which is why Lord Luo will be so magnanimous to you. She speculated.
"Heh, it seems that Mr. Luo is a very affectionate person in your eyes?" Sun Linsheng felt a little surprised, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, as the symbol of the unconscious 'Grim Reaper' of Roquere, who is the president of the 'Breakfree', and the terrifying titles of 'Murderer with a Knife' and 'Pure Slaughterer' are the world's consistent perception of him.
"Hmm. When I was an attendant to Dr. Medóri, I had the privilege of following him in several meetings of technical cooperation with the Breakers, and it was at those meetings that I got to know the world-talked-about Lord Rockré up close. ”
"It doesn't feel like it's at all out of line with the terrifying character as everyone described~" She smiled and raised her head, a soft light flashed in her eyes, although the content of the topic was about Roquere, but that expression was obviously missing the face of someone else.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Sun Linsheng saw the change in her expression and immediately stopped the topic.
Sun Linsheng had already learned the news of Dr. Medóri's death from Roquere before he set off, and he wanted to avoid talking about him as much as possible during the operation, but he didn't expect that the news still touched this forbidden area.
"Ha, don't worry, after all, Dr. Medóli sacrificed for the development of the guild, and that honor will be remembered by everyone in the guild!" Her expression stiffened, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Get down!" Suddenly, Sun Linsheng pressed her shoulders hard, and the members of the team quickly fell to the ground.
