Chapter 31: The Man Behind the Scenes (Two Shifts Resumed from Today)
When many students were fighting desperately in the depths of the snowfield, a fierce dispute was taking place in the rear base camp!
Not far from the departure point of Lin Xian's group, there is a huge temporary camp! Although it was late at night, the camp was still brightly lit, and the helicopters took off and landed frequently from time to time! The first thing that every helicopter that has just landed when it opens the cabin door is: "Hurry!" Medical staff are needed here! β
In a makeshift office in the camp, an emotional voice suddenly sounded: "We have to think of a way!" It's only been a day and a half, and it's been less than two days! The trainees who participated in the operation have already suffered more than 2,000 casualties! Among them, 971 people died, and 1,623 people withdrew from the operation with serious injuries! And it's not clear how many teams were wiped out and didn't have time to use the liaison! β
The simple office is huge, about forty or fifty square meters! More than a dozen people stood inside the room, surrounding the desks inside! Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with a stern face!
The man has a typical Slavic man face! He has short silver-white hair, but he looks like he is only about forty years old!
I only heard the middle-aged man say very simply: "The action has already begun, and it is very unrealistic to make changes!" With such a large amount of manpower and material resources mobilized, it is even more impossible to cancel the operation! β
Director Selena was also standing in the crowd, and after hearing the middle-aged man's words, she stepped forward and said, "Even if we can't cancel the operation, we have to find something to do!" The casualty rate is too high now! And according to the accounts of the students who came back from injury, the descendants of the second and third generations of demon wolves have not appeared at all! If they start attacking the students as well, the casualty rate will surely skyrocket! β
"What is the solution? Is it necessary to send an army into the snowfield? In that case, the wolf king will definitely attack the human city and cause more casualties! Could the casualty rate be higher now than in the secret realm? I think you all know how cruel the secret realm is! You all know how high the mortality rate of newly selected explorers in the secret realm is every year! β
The middle-aged man took a sip of water from his cup and continued, "Since these children regard the explorers of the secret realm as their ultimate goal! Well, sooner or later, they will have to experience this cruelty! It's better to experience it now than to experience it again after entering the secret realm! At least now there are paramedics waiting for them in the rear! β
"Alright, I'm the commander-in-chief of the operation! I don't think it's time to make a change! Now you can get out! The middle-aged man waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone!
In desperation, the directors of the various training camps had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After everyone parted, Selena walked side by side with another female supervisor on the path of the makeshift camp.
"What is this operation for? Don't you know that these students are just a bunch of kids? If they encounter the descendants of the demon wolves of the second and third generations, except for the most powerful students, they will almost all die! Selena, who was walking on the road, suddenly spoke!
"Isn't that clear? You only have to look at the names of the few powerful people who rushed to participate in the operation, and you will understand everything! Said the female supervisor who was traveling with her!
"Morgan, Nickrose, Ehrman...... Is there something wrong? β
"Except for Nickrose, the rest are all old powerhouses, and they are all very old......"
Selena's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Isn't that normal?" They entered the secret realm a long time ago! β
"Hah! Selena didn't expect that after so many years, you would still be so naΓ―ve! The strength of these powerhouses stopped growing a long time ago, and their lifespan will not be too long! Even Nikroth has exceeded the age limit of the secret realm and cannot enter the secret realm again! Seeing that the new powerhouses surpassed them one by one, there were even some geniuses who broke through the limit after entering the secret realm, and there was hope for immortality! These old guys are going crazy......"
Pouting disdainfully, the female supervisor continued: "As far as I know, since last year, these people have entered the snow field several times to look for the wolf king! They want to take the Wolf King's magic crystal and its divine bloodline! Expect to find a way to push the envelope! It's a pity that he went deep into the snow field several times, but he couldn't find the trace of the wolf king, so he launched this wolf hunt operation! β
Selena was almost stunned to hear the news!
After a moment of silence, she said, "...... How can this be? That's tens of thousands of lives! Venia, we should contact everyone to stop them! β
Vinya shook her head and said calmly: "It's useless, that's five town powerhouses!" No one will offend them easily! Even a country will not casually veto their demands! Do you think that everyone else is as naΓ―ve as you and don't know what's going on? Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the operation, Wilic, is Morgan's apprentice, and it is impossible for this operation to be canceled! β
"Is there no way to do that? At the very least, find a way to improve the chances of survival for the students! Selena asked in an anxious tone.
"There's no way, now I can only pray that the wolf king will be lured out as soon as possible! In this way, whether a few strong people win, or the wolf king wins, the action can end early! Venia then took her leave and walked to her quarters.
Selena silently looked at the north, deep in the snowfield shrouded in night! With a dejected sigh, he turned around and walked towards his residence......
And the cadets who participated in the operation did not know at all what was happening in the rear camp! They are fighting desperately for their ideals or survival......
This is perhaps the most tragic battlefield in the entire snowfield! Thousands of hungry wolves surrounded the five trainees, and they were frantically pounced!
"How many wolves have we killed? I guess there must be a thousand, right? Why haven't you seen any of these bastards? Isn't it a steady stream of wolves coming here? Yeager retreated to the center of the formation and gasped for air.
"I advise you again! If you talk less, you can save at least half of your energy! Even though Igor gasped for breath and spit out, he still had a poisonous tongue!
It's been more than three hours since the fight with the wolves, and even Igor and Elsa, who have a relatively easy task, feel a little tired!
Zoya's secret technique has long since run out of stamina, and she and Yeager are now taking turns resting! Only Lin Xian's spear stab was still extremely stable, and even his breathing rate had not changed! It's like a machine, and it never seems to know what tiredness is!
"You said that after the battle, how many magic crystals will we be able to obtain?" Yeager sat on the ground and kept saying, "I'll do the math for everyone...... Zoya's long-range bow and arrow secret technique shot a total of ten times, and except for one mistake, she got nine magic crystals! Lin Xian killed an invisible demon wolf and four giant wolves with close attacks! Igor's vacuum slash killed a total of five demon wolf descendants! Wow...... There are now 19 magic crystals waiting for us to pick up! β
Jayger's mouth pulls and pulls, and he won't stop for a moment! While fighting with the wolves, everyone felt angry and funny!
"Shut up! Even if the old lady is not bitten to death by the wolf! I'm going to be annoyed by you! Zoya suddenly scolded him!
"Uh......" The fierce Zoya is indeed Jaeger's nemesis, and the words he was about to say immediately swallowed back!
When everyone saw Yeager deflated, they couldn't help but laugh secretly. But the mood of several people quickly became heavy! The wolves seem to be endless, no matter how many dead or injured there are, the follow-up will continue to come!
"It doesn't work! Jayger, you rest for a while, and then take my place!" I guess there's a higher level of leader hidden in this pack of wolves, and I'm going to find a way to find it! Otherwise, we will be dragged down after all! Lin Xian opened his mouth and said!
Lin Xian has been silent since the stalemate of the situation began, and he has been carefully observing! After such a long time, I finally found a clue! He happened to be at the back end of the pack, about three or four hundred meters away from him, and saw a pure white giant wolf, which looked very strange!
This giant wolf is like a proud general, patrolling the battle! Although it is surrounded by wolf guards, it does not bother to hide behind it! On top of that, there were as many as a dozen descendants of demon wolves among the guards around it!
Lin Xian thought that this white giant wolf must be very important to the wolf pack! He decides to go it alone and look for an opportunity to kill it!
Ten minutes later, Yeager regained some strength and stood up to take Lin Xian's place.
Lin Xian stood in the middle of the formation and breathed a sigh of relief. Leaping violently, he rushed towards the densest part of the wolf pack, and the spear in his hand stabbed out at a rapid speed!
"Puff puff!" The sound of spear stabbing was endless, and the flesh and blood flew in Lin Xian's direction! The dense wolf pack can't even reduce his speed much!
Lin Xian's figure was like a heavy chariot, rampage towards the white giant wolf! At most, in ten seconds, his figure has already rushed out of about 100 meters!
"Whoop ......", "Whoop ......", "Whoop ......" Several wolf howls sounded around at the same time! The wolves suddenly rushed towards Lin Xian like crazy, and even Zhuo Ya and the others couldn't take care of it!
Lin Xian's resistance to moving forward is getting bigger and bigger, and the wolves around him are getting denser and denser!
Lin Xianmeng handed over the control of his body to his second consciousness! The way he fought immediately changed! The spear in his hand becomes extremely precise with each stab, and his body can always find the smallest gap in the wolf pack, avoiding every pounce at the last moment!
Although Lin Xian's speed slowed down a lot, he still resolutely rushed towards the white giant wolf! The flesh and blood of countless packs of wolves paved a passage for him!
"! Lin Xian, this is too fierce! Yagger, forgotten by the wolves, exclaimed!
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zoya's eyes, and for the first time, she agreed with Jaeger's words! "Not bad! This may be what Huaxia said, "take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies"! β
When it was about a hundred meters away from the white giant wolf, the guards beside it couldn't hold back any longer! Under the leadership of more than a dozen demon wolf descendants, they rushed towards Lin Xian! The white wolf's side became empty!
"The time has come! Instantaneous! Lin Xian thought! The figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared five meters in front of it at the same time!
Lin Xian's figure disappeared continuously, and appeared continuously! With a slip of phantom, it crossed a distance of 100 meters in an instant!
Lin Xian, who disappeared for the last time, suddenly appeared in front of the white giant wolf!
The spear in his hand was like thunder, and he stabbed out in the head!
