Chapter 40 Deployment Tasks
When Liu Zhongwen saw Wang Xiaotian, he got up and greeted, "Xiaotian, come, come here." ”
Wang Xiaotian smiled and nodded, and nodded at a few acquaintances as he walked inside.
He came to Liu Zhongwen's side, and Liu Zhongwen introduced him, "Xiaotian, this is Professor Hua Ziyu. Professor Hua, this is Wang Xiaotian. ”
"Hello Professor Hana. I have long admired your name. Wang Xiaotian bowed to Professor Hua. He read two books written by Professor Hua and admired Professor Hua very much. This bow is his heartfelt respect.
Hua Ziyu stood up, a smile on her serious face. He stretched out his hand to Wang Xiaotian and said, "I have long heard that there is a young talent in the academy, and today I see that it is really extraordinary. ”
Wang Xiaotian stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hua Ziyu. Hua Ziyu said, "Please take a seat." ”
Liu Zhongwen pointed to the seat next to Hua Ziyu, "You sit next to Professor Hua." ”
Wang Xiaotian sat down and looked at it carefully, only to find that there were only five people here: Liu Zhongwen, Hua Ziyu, Kabal, him and Xia Xianlong. The rest of the people were all opposite, sitting in two rows.
Liu Zhongwen looked at the person opposite and said, "The specific matter, Professor Hua will tell you in detail later." I'll just briefly explain the reasons for what happened. ”
"This year it is the turn of the Canaanite Federation delegation to visit our country. Our college is responsible for the reception. It was supposed to come at the end of October, but I never expected that the visiting group had an accident in the Great Wilderness, and everyone else was scattered in the Great Wilderness except for the head of the delegation. ”
"The academy has decided that you will form a rescue team and go to the Great Wilderness to rescue many of the people from the Canaan Federation visiting group. Do you have faith?"
The people on the other side immediately stood up and said in unison, "Have faith." ”
Liu Zhongwen nodded, "Okay." Next, Professor Hua will introduce the situation and arrange the task. ”
Hua Ziyu nodded at Liu Zhongwen, and then her eyes were on the person opposite, patrolling back and forth, and she said word by word: "Some of you, I'm not satisfied." ”
Wang Dadi, Lu Ziming, and Lu Yusheng were obviously nervous.
Hua Ziyu continued: "However, time is pressing, so we can only do this first. I hope you will behave well, especially those who I am not satisfied with, and work hard to change my opinion. ”
He paused and said, "Lu Yusheng, you take them to the warehouse and select their respective equipment according to the list." An hour later, assemble at the warehouse gate and set off. The specific task is said on the road. ”
The people on the other side immediately stood up and answered in unison, "Yes." Then he scurried out of the conference room.
Wang Xiaotian said to Liu Zhongwen and Hua Ziyu, "I'll also pick out a few pieces of equipment", and then followed everyone out of the conference room.
After coming out, he caught up with Lu Yusheng in a few steps and asked quietly, "Has Professor Hua always been so resolute?"
Lu Yusheng walked forward briskly, nodded lightly, and said, "Professor Hua graduated from the Military Academy. Later, he served in the regiment directly under the military headquarters for 40 years, and reached the rank of division commander. Originally, according to his development trajectory, he should continue to serve as a military commander or even a commander, or enter the Ministry of Homeland Defense as a director or minister. ”
However, just when he was in the prime of life and prosperous in his official fortune, he suddenly resigned from the army and came to Seremban College as a professor, teaching and doing research at the same time. It is also conducting research on rune arrays. This puzzled many of his friends and colleagues at the time. He was repeatedly persuaded but he was unmoved. ”
"Because Professor Hua has lived in the army for many years, the style and habits of the soldiers have been unforgettable. Therefore, after he entered the academy, whether he was teaching or doing research, he maintained the style of the army. Everyone was scared of him. ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized. No wonder I think Hua Ziyu is similar to Lin Shaotang, it turns out that he is really a soldier
。
Regarding Hua Ziyu's sudden move from a high-ranking military official to a teacher at Furong Academy to study the rune array, which others could not understand, Wang Xiaotian also knew a little bit of the reason in his heart.
Because of the rune array, it is still a craftsman, or a craftsman-level skill. Although there are some technological breakthroughs, in theory, there is no formed system. Even the book written by Professor Hua Ziyu only talks about rune arrays by category, and does not rise to the theoretical basis.
In this environment, those who are engaged in the research of rune arrays are often craftsmen or craftsmen who use rune arrays, as well as cultivators who have no room for ascent.
For Hua Ziyu, who was in a high position at the time and had a bright future, making such a choice was equivalent to not being the head of the hall to become a craftsman, and it was indeed difficult to be understood by relatives and friends around her.
The group came to the warehouse. Lu Yusheng showed the staff of the treasury the signature document of Dean Liu. The warehouse management personnel did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to open the warehouse and prepared all kinds of materials according to the list.
Taking advantage of this, Lu Yusheng said to everyone: "There are too many things in the warehouse, let you go in and find them yourself, and you can't find them quickly." I have already given the list to the warehouse staff, and they will move the required equipment out according to the list in a while, please choose by yourself. However, before everyone chooses, please ask Wang Xiaotian to introduce some details of the selection of equipment. ”
Wang Xiaotian said to everyone: "This mission is very dangerous. I hope that everyone will attach great importance to it and use all the equipment available to arm themselves. Each person must have at least four types of equipment: armor, melee weapons, ranged weapons, and self-defense weapons. ”
"In addition to these, everyone had to carry a rope, a first aid kit, a shovel, a pen, a notepad, and food and water for seven days. In addition, there are some large rescue equipment, which need to be disassembled into several parts to carry. If there is a storage device, you can put it in and carry it. The equipment is here, please choose. ”
At this time, more than a dozen warehouse personnel used a small cart to move out the equipment on the list and put it at the door of the warehouse. The team members immediately gathered around and chose their own equipment.
The equipment of Seremban Academy is all self-produced equipment, and the quality is first-class. Moreover, this mission is a task entrusted by the academy, and all the costs are borne by the academy, even if they have their own equipment, there is no need to use it to consume.
In addition, if you participate in the actions organized by the academy, you will not only be paid if you complete the task. You can also use a very low discount to buy the equipment used in your own missions.
So, it was a rare opportunity for those who participated in the action to make a fortune. This is also the reason why Lu Ziming's attitude changed greatly when he heard that there was action.
After everyone else had finished choosing their own equipment, Wang Xiaotian also chose a set of equipment. A level 6 sword, a set of level 6 armor, and level 6 boots, as well as a level 6 dagger.
The price of this set of sixth-level equipment has exceeded fifty million. Even if Wang Xiaotian made a fortune, spending money on this set of equipment would feel painful.
Therefore, when he wrote the list, he set a set specifically for himself, which can be regarded as a balance between public and private. Anyway, Furong Academy has a lot of money, and Dean Liu doesn't care about this money at all.
After selecting personal equipment and ropes, first aid kits, shovels, etc., the two drivers drove over two large steam locomotives.
The locomotives of these two locomotives are more than twice as large as ordinary locomotives, and the carriages are two meters wide and ten meters long. The rest of the large rescue equipment was all loaded into one car, and all of them got into this car without feeling crowded.
The reason for the two vehicles was to bring back the Canaanite delegation on the return trip. Also, it is not known if there are any wounded among those people, so try to prepare enough space.
An hour later, Dean Liu Zhongwen, Professor Hua Ziyu, Kabal, and Xia Xianlong
Come to the storeroom. The crowd immediately lined up to greet them.
Professor Hua Ziyu asked Lu Yusheng to briefly report on the distribution and loading of various types of equipment on the list, and then ordered everyone to board the first car.
Everyone boarded the car, Hua Ziyu turned her head and nodded to Liu Zhongwen, and also got on the car.
Liu Zhongwen suddenly shouted, "Professor Hua." ”
Hua Ziyu stopped and turned to look at Liu Zhongwen.
Liu Zhongwen thought for a while and said, "I've been restless for the past two days, you guys should be more careful." ”
The practitioner's hunch has always been very accurate. Although Liu Zhongwen had a premonition that something was wrong, the Canaan Federation delegation involved people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, and the matter was very serious, and he could not help but do his best to rescue him.
Hua Ziyu smiled slightly, "Dean rest assured." I'm going to bring them all back safely. ”
Hua Ziyu turned to board the car. The two cars started slowly and slowly drove away from the warehouse.
Dean Liu Zhongwen watched them and did not go back until he could see the two cars.
On the car, Hua Ziyu stood in the middle of the carriage and said to the people sitting on both sides: "The place where the Canaan Federation delegation had an accident is between Dushant and Taganshi. Each of these two places has a force entrenched. Mr. Yu has been in contact with these two forces through private channels, and neither of them has admitted that he has done it. ”
"The task of our trip is to find out the whereabouts of the members of the mission first, and then find out who is behind it. Then, cut off the black hand and bring back the other members of the mission safely. It's as simple as that. ”
When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but secretly speak. Professor Hua is really from a military background, and the assignment of tasks is so simple and clear. But is it really that simple?
Not necessarily.
Generally speaking, kidnapping and looting must have a purpose. Either for extortion. Either it is related to the kidnapped target.
In order to extort money, the payer will definitely be contacted after he succeeds. The target of this kidnapping and looting was the Canaanite Federation visiting delegation, but the place where the accident occurred was not in the territory of the two countries, and the mastermind behind the scenes could extort money from both sides.
But the problem is that so far, Furong Academy and even the entire Eastern Chu Kingdom have not received any blackmail news. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is blackmailing the Canaanite Federation?
If it wasn't for extortion, who in the delegation was their real target?
The wilderness is treacherous, with frequent sandstorms, quicksand traps, and deadly radiation clouds that are difficult for strangers to enter and exit. How did those robbers come and go without a trace if they didn't have a local response?
These questions have been haunting Wang Xiaotian's heart.
After arranging the task, Hua Ziyu found a place to sit down and close her eyes to recuperate. The others seemed to be so frightened that they didn't dare to continue talking. After sitting bored for a while, they simply entered the state of cultivation.
The group ate and lived in the car, except for the vehicle to the reserved supply point, when adding water and black stones, they could get off the car and move their legs and feet to stretch their muscles and bones.
In this way, after nine days and nine nights, the group came to the last supply point, which is also the hub for the Eastern Chu State to enter and exit the Great Wilderness, Kashgar.
Kashgar is a very prosperous city. It occupies a large area, and the land here is not worth much anyway, and the population is not large. Moreover, the caravans that come and go are often large, so the merchants here try to maximize their territory.
The place where they settled was the Yu's trading house in Kashgar. Yu Wanlai had already said hello in advance, and after they entered the warehouse, the warehouse was closed directly and no longer open.
The person in charge of the warehouse was already waiting at the door. His name is Yu Qi, and he is a middle-aged fat man with a little bald on the top of his head. The crowd streamed out of the carriage. Yu Qi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
