Chapter 137: The Haze Reigns
In the Ailao Mountain Range, Chu Madsheng and the others had already arrived at their destination for several days.
Although the Ailao Mountains are located in the depths of the remote barren forest, after careful investigation by the elite team, it was found that there was no trace of the activities of powerful desolate beasts near their station, which also made the tense nerves of the elite team relax slightly.
In the past few days, the scientific research team has also seized all the time to collect resource samples, and the elite team that only needs to be responsible for their safety and food supply has entered a rare temporary recuperation period.
Without a crisis, people will always enter a state of slackness, even as the leader of the elite squad, Chu Madsheng is no exception, but in the past few days, he has not been able to lift his spirits at all.
It has been too many days since Wu Man'er and the others left the elite team. However, for so long, there has been no news of the two of them, and this is what Chu Madsheng is really worried about.
It's another night, and everyone gathers around the campfire, chatting while savoring the tender barbecue. After getting along for such a long time, everyone is already very familiar, and they can already make some harmless jokes with each other.
However, Chu Madsheng, who was concerned about it, was sitting alone on a low tree far away from the bonfire, and he looked at the dark mountains and forests in the distance, and he forgot that there was food sent by his brothers beside him.
"Captain Chu, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Just when Chu Madsheng was secretly out of his mind, Captain Luo of the scientific research team got up and came to the bottom of the tree.
"Captain Luo, if there is anything you can say directly, if you need our cooperation, we will absolutely obey!"
As a soldier, Chu Madsheng still knew his duty.
"Captain Chu, in the past few days, we have collected all the resource samples, if there are no accidents, tomorrow morning, we can leave to return to Sifang City!"
Captain Luo came here to inform Chu Madsheng about his return.
"Oh, you're done, and in that case, I'll tell my brothers in a moment, and I'll be ready to return to the city tomorrow!"
When Chu Madsheng received Captain Luo's notice, he didn't have any excitement in his heart.
"Captain Chu, Captain Wu and they haven't come back yet, do we have to wait a few more days?"
Although he had done his job, Captain Luo, who knew the righteousness, decided to take care of the emotions of these soldiers who served them.
"Thank you Captain Luo for your concern, before leaving, I will leave a mark, the third sister, they will know our itinerary. In this mountain forest, staying for a moment longer is a little more risky. Now that you've done your work, let's leave tomorrow!"
Chu Madsheng said, grabbed the barbecue beside him, and with a slight jump, he fell from the low tree.
"Since that's the case, then I can only follow Captain Chu's arrangement. Everything, you have bothered more!"
Captain Luo said very politely, turned around and accompanied Chu Madsheng towards the bonfire.
"Whoa!
Just as the two were about to return to the campfire, there was a chaotic sound in the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Alert!"
The experienced Chu Madsheng instinctively made a warning sound, turned around, and pushed Captain Luo behind him.
Hearing Chu Madsheng's signal, the members of the team who were enjoying their leisure also took out their daggers one after another, got up and guarded the five members of the scientific research team tightly around the bonfire.
"Boss, the brothers have checked it out before, and there is no sign of any powerful beast activity here!"
Luo Lin ran to Chu Madsheng's side in a panic and said suspiciously.
"In this barren forest, anything can happen, perhaps, it is our activities in the past few days that have attracted a certain powerful desolate beast. ”
Chu Madsheng looked cautiously in the direction where the strange sound came from, ready to meet the charge of the desolate beast at any time.
"Whoa!
As the sound of the branches and leaves swaying got closer and closer, everyone's nerves tensed.
"Don't be nervous, it's me!"
At this moment, a familiar female voice came from the dark mountain forest.
"Third sister?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Chu Madsheng was immediately overjoyed, and without the slightest hesitation, he was already running forward.
"Third sister, you're finally back!"
As Wu Man'er's figure entered the range of the bonfire, Chu Maansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third sister, where is the tenth?"
After waiting for a while, Chu Madsheng didn't find He Yifei's figure, he looked at the mountains and forests behind Wu Man'er with a puzzled expression.
"Second brother, the old ten is dead!"
At this moment, Wu Man'er couldn't hold it anymore, she threw herself into Chu Maansheng's arms, and cried loudly.
"Old ten, dead?"
Wu Man'er's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, exploding in Chu Madsheng's mind.
"Boss He is dead?"
Hearing the bad news brought by Wu Man'er, the recruits of the elite squad couldn't believe their ears.
"One fly, dead?"
As a former lover, Xin Nan also found it difficult to accept this reality, but as a wife, she could only secretly suppress her grief and indignation. However, her trembling body invisibly betrayed her heart.
Tong Yuqiong didn't know the past of the two, and he thought that Xin Nan just couldn't accept the death of his old friend for a while. Instinctively, Tong Yuqiong also reached out and hugged Xin Nan in her arms, patting her back and soothing her.
"Third sister, what's wrong, how did Lao Shi die?"
The news of He Yifei's death also alarmed Huo Yingqi, and he quickly ran to Wu Man'er's side and raised his own questions.
"Old ten...... He was killed by me!"
Recalling the previous scenes, Wu Man'er was also full of regret in her heart, if she could have expected today's ending, she would never have chosen to take that road at the beginning.
However, how can time be turned back? What should have happened has already happened, and what is left for these living people is nothing more than the sorrow of their own involuntarily.
Seeing Wu Man'er crying dead and alive in his arms, Chu Mansheng's heart also softened, he gently stroked Wu Man'er's shoulder and comforted him, but his eyes drifted to Huo Yingqi beside him, suggesting that he should stop saying those exciting words.
The elite team that had relieved the crisis sat around the bonfire again, and at this moment, the people who were shrouded in the haze were all silent, waiting for Wu Man'er to adjust their emotions and inform them of the real cause of He Yifei's death.
Finally, under the comfort of everyone, Wu Man'er gradually returned to normal, and she began to tell everyone about her experience these days while sobbing with pear blossoms and rain.
