Volume 1 Chapter 20 The Swamp

Returning from the swamp, through the fog, I noticed that the group had gathered on the edges. Some of the last teams were hurrying to recharge their strength, while the first to arrive had already packed their bags and gathered at the edge of the swamp to get ready to go.

Liu Shiyun, the leader of the 3rd squad, had just cleaned up the kitchen waste when he saw a black shadow slowly emerging in the dense fog of the swamp, still looking around.

"Yes, yes..." Liu Shiyun was so frightened that he couldn't speak, pointing in the direction of the black shadow and calling out to the others.

"There's a ghost!!" The dark shadow finally revealed its true face, and it was actually a wriggling mass of mud! Liu Shiyun screamed in shock, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked in the direction of Liu Shiyun's finger vigilantly.

"Ghosts? Where's that?? Mo De was also startled, and followed Liu Shiyun's finger to look behind him, but there was still only a thick mist in his eyes.

At that moment, Mo De suddenly realized, raised his hands, and shouted in a voice that overshadowed Liu Shiyun's scream:

"Don't shoot, your own people !!"

......

The little farce was over, and several teams that had been repaired and were ready to set off came to the 20th class of Morder's squad at this time, asking for information that Morde had brought back from the swamp.

"The deeper I went, the more vapour and fog became, and the visibility was only about three meters or so when I went, so try not to separate when the group moves. Don't stop under your feet, otherwise you will slowly sink in, and the possibility of swamp bubbles cannot be ruled out......" While wiping his cheeks with the wet towel handed over by Wu Fan, Mo had to share information with everyone.

The vanguard team set off, and the squads also passed swamp information to each other, and the crowd around him finally dispersed, giving him time to sit down and eat something.

A mouthful of protein bars and a mouthful of baked cans, the previous movement in the swamp mist, coupled with the tempering of the black rope into fire, made Mo De's appetite surprisingly good now.

"How did you toss like this this trip?" Wu Fan squatted beside Mo De with half a compressed biscuit and asked, not far away, Ji Keqing and Su Ziwen also sat down together.

"The fog is slippery, and one accidentally fell into a porcelain, it's not a big deal."

Needless to say, Su Ziwen, even Ji Keqing and Wu Fan had expressions of "you are lying to ghosts". Others may not know that Su Ziwen and the three of them still know a lot about Mo De's skills. When he was speeding all the way before, Mo De was obviously single-minded, and most of his energy was focused elsewhere, but he followed them steadily. How could such a player, who could turn 720 degrees in the air with his eyes closed, slip and fall into such mud while running?

"It's fine... Well, it can't be said that it's completely fine. Mo had to hesitate again and again, but finally decided to tell these three people Mu Qing's intuition first.

Earlier, in the swamp, he dialed the phone number of the person in the "tide". Every "tide" speaker will have the name of "emperor". Since the disappearance of the previous "Black Emperor", the current "Empress" has taken over the organization, and the general leader of the "tide" is in charge of large and small affairs, codenamed "Tree".

"Tianshui Autumn Hunting... So far, there have been no anomalies on the organization's side. But if you really feel that something is wrong, be careful. Now the whole organization is busy preparing for the 'moon phase tide', and everyone is a little out of it. "The sound of the tree is warm and soft.

“...... Sister Shu, I'm sorry. Mo De was silent for a long time and then spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's okay, everything will pass. It is his choice to leave you, and it is your choice to return to us. "The voice on the other side of the phone paused, as if he was chewing something." Boys always have to go out and break through, and it's a good thing to experience more wind and rain. But don't forget, there's always your room in the 'tide'. ”

"Hmm!" ......

In the "tide" headquarters, after hanging up the phone, the tree chewed smoking cessation candy, pillowed his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling in a daze with gentle eyes.

The little doll who could only stand next to the man and purse her mouth vigorously and with a fierce look seems to have grown up now.

"Don't touch the fish, a new round of results is out." The exhausted voice of the white clothes came from the mountain of documents not far away.

"Here we are." After eating the remaining smoking candy, the tree retied some loose hair and resumed the work at hand.

......

"You mean, there will be an accident this time in the autumn hunt?" Su Ziwen's voice was serious, and he asked directly into Mo De's eyes.

"Intuition, it's just intuition, there's no evidence..." Before Mu Qing told him, Mo De himself was not aware of any potential crisis. It's just that he didn't come, he was willing to believe Mu Qing, maybe this was his intuition.

"I'm going to find the book of heaven. He can reach the teachers there. Su Ziwen pushed his glasses and left in a hurry. He returned after a short time, but his expression was still serious.

"Xiang Tianshu said that he would inform the teacher, but it was impossible for the autumn hunt to be terminated for no reason. He could only promise that he would do his best to persuade the school and the military to step up patrols. He will also inform the squad leaders to re-emphasize discipline and let everyone strengthen their vigilance. But to avoid panic, "

"Isn't there something that has moved the crowd?" Wu Fan asked after finishing the last bite of the can, rubbing his stomach.

"Remember what I said." Su Ziwen's voice became deeper and deeper, and it was a little cold.

"The mortality rate of autumn hunting every year is not zero."

......

The group was full of food and drink, and after taking a nap with Wu Fan, the four of them packed up, sorted and packed the garbage, and finally set off towards the swamp.

The touch under your feet is wet and muddy. With each step, you feel the dirt beneath your feet as if it is reluctant to leave, dragging and dragging to pull the shoe deep with its owner, merging with the swamp.

The four of them didn't stop, but they didn't run as before. In this place with extremely low visibility, it is better to work steadily and step by step.

"Confirm the direction." Su Ziwen, who was in the lead, spoke. The eyebrows are no longer so tight.

As Wu Fan said before departure: "Will there be an accident? Isn't that normal? Everyone had prepared well in advance. Since you have chosen to sign that letter of commitment, it means that everyone standing here today has the consciousness to meet the unexpected. The words made Mo De and Ji Keqing look sideways, and they were a little suspicious that this fat man was transferred halfway. Su Ziwen's demeanor also relaxed slightly.

"East." Su Ziwen gave an order, and the four of them kept walking, but they all stretched out their hands and pointed to the east in their feelings.

"South." After another order, the four of them were still pointing in the same direction, making sure that their sense of direction was not confused by the swamp fog.

The mist seems to be endless, and the mud under your feet is like a soul. Just as the group was about to correct the direction again, a "grunt" sound suddenly came from the originally quiet Siye, and then there seemed to be a broken "peeling" sound.

"Right forward, hold your breath, accelerate, watch your step." Su Ziwen said quickly, then covered his mouth and nose and accelerated his pace. The rest did the same.

Su Ziwen, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped, and then made a "left" gesture, and the team quickly changed its route. After just a dozen steps, something suddenly popped out and cracked on the original route.

The group was uncertain, jumping left and right, but avoiding the location where every abnormal noise came from.

Finally broke through the fog blockade and broke out of the swamp quagmire. It's so nice to be on top of the hard sand again.

"Swamp bubbles." Ji Keqing looked at the fog behind him, still palpitating.

"The scale is not very large, and the power of the explosion is limited. The composition is basically carbon dioxide, there is no toxic gas, and there is no danger. Mo had to lie on top of a pile of rubble and said leisurely.

"Don't you think it's disgusting to be blown up and covered in mud? Oh, so you're covered in mud. Ji Keqing glanced at Mo De with disdain, then sat down and cleaned up the dirt on his boots with Su Ziwen.

"I'm not blown up...", but I couldn't say it. Mo De looked at the busy two people and Wu Fan, who was chewing on a protein bar on the side, but the crazy woman who was also covered in mud but didn't care at all appeared in his heart.

"It's really troublesome." Mo had to sigh, continued to raise his head with his arms on his pillow, and counted the stars around Shen Mingyue.
