The night passed.

I have to say that this money is well spent, especially in this kind of mission location that is remote from Zion City, it is necessary to be able to replenish the mental state during the ride.

Next

Yi Chen, who had not yet woken up in his sleep, suddenly felt a tingling sensation of plant cone from his body, and sat up suddenly.

After waking up, this feeling is not gone, but it is more pronounced.

There are even several plant seedlings emerging from between the pores, as if to warn about something.

Kim was still sleeping, one long leg stacked on top of the other, and saliva was oozing from between the gaps in the mask.

Yi Chen tried not to disturb her rest as much as possible, came to the front of the carriage and pushed the window, and asked the driver wearing the steel mask.

"Excuse me, has this reached the territory of Jose Valley?"

"Just arrived a minute ago, can you sense the anomaly here?"

"Yes...... Something is very wrong with the plants here. ”

"Well, the sound of the horse's hooves landing on the ground is obviously different every time, I hope you can deal with the matter here as soon as possible, if it continues to deteriorate, it will need to be dealt with by the high-ranking gentlemen in the organization.

In half an hour you will be at the Black-Eyed Stronghold, and you can now prepare to go. ”

"Thank you."

Yi Chen, who returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, adjusting the plants in his body to suppress the discomfort.

Soon.

The carriage winds around a secluded and steep mountain road and climbs a hill.

The mountain is located in the southwest of the José Valley, and from the cliff you can get a general view of the forest, and of course you can also get a glimpse of the village of Sheporte, where the incident occurred.

At the top of the cliff, there are six black tents with tissue markings.

In the middle stands a black tower-shaped monument, about six meters high, with an eye pattern carved on the top, which may be the origin of the name of the [Black Eye Stronghold],

The last stretch of the mountain road leading to the stronghold was covered with a large number of metal barricades, forcing the carriage to stop early.

"Kim, it's here."

Hiss ~

When Kim woke up, he skillfully sucked back the saliva that hung from his mouth, adjusted his mask, and slowly sat up cross-legged to stretch his waist.

A nonchalant look, without any pre-mission tension at all.

"Did you arrive so early, I really slept too late yesterday~ I really want to sleep for another half a day."

Tie a skull-style tie for a red patterned shirt,

Put on trousers and casual leather shoes,

Wear an extremely conspicuous colorful suit,

When Kim, who got out of the carriage, found that he did not go directly to the stronghold, his temper went straight up.

"Do you have to walk this long way? These useless guys, who have been here for so long in advance, not only can't do anything, but also set up these useless things and waste our time. ”

Poop!

Perhaps a little angry, Kim kicked straight at the nearest metal barricade.

Hundreds of kilograms of barricades were kicked out directly, and the part where the kick was hit was seriously dented and fell down the hill.

This kick scared Yi Chen a lot.

"Kim's strength is comparable to that of Darkberg, right? It looks like a similar physique to me, and the legs are more like traces of unexercised, so they have such strength.

Is it because of the control of the flesh?'

Little Grape's conscious voice came at this time:

"It's not just as simple as controlling the body, after all, William can also control the body~ With the kick just now, I could feel a faint explosion of energy.

I reckon that this human will be able to perform a 'controlled explosion' between the flesh, and thus gain instantaneous explosive power.

Her manipulation of the flesh, especially at the level of slaughter, is far superior to yours!

It's rare to see such a powerful human being, so you have to be good friends with this person."

The more the little grape talked, the more excited she became, and she felt like she was about to drool...... It is even possible that once Yi Chen accidentally dies, it will run to Jin's side to call each other sisters.

Destroyed by barricades,

A small group of gentlemen stationed here immediately arrived,

Woohoo! The leader also led the two-headed dog as a pet, and barked wildly when he saw Yi Chen.

Who knows, such behavior angered the little grape, an eye appeared on the shoulder, and the dog immediately hid behind the owner with his tail between his legs.

The gentleman headed by a gentleman with a poke mustache and a standard brown morning dress,

He recognized the identities of Yi Chen and Jin at a glance, and the reason for coming here...... There was a hint of helplessness on his face, even self-denial.

"Are you the supporters sent by Gethsemane? Obviously, we haven't reported the difficulties we are encountering here...... Is it that time has been delayed for too long? ”

Yi Chen took the initiative to step forward, saluted and said, "That's right, we were entrusted by Instructor Bailey to help deal with the affairs of Shepult Village and the New Life Church.

William, she's my friend Kim. ”

"I'm Wilmer, the temporary head of Blackeye Stronghold, come with me."

The other party did not mention the destruction of the barricades,

Even though Yi Chen and Jin looked to be in their twenties, he was not prejudiced, but full of awe for Gethsemane.

When entering the base,

The gentlemen who lived in the tents poked their heads out and watched curiously at the young reinforcements sent by Gethsemane.

They all have more or less dark circles under their eyes, listlessness, and some of them are wrapped in bandages.

The whole stronghold was lifeless, and there was even a hint of silent despair.

Wilmer led the two men up the cliff, pointing to the woods in the middle of Jose Valley.

"That's the area we need to investigate, it's a natural fortress, and it's growing and expanding every day."

Yi Chen and Jin pointed and looked at each other,

In the middle of the forest, a ring of trees encloses the inner area where the village of Sheporte is located, about 1/5 of the entire forest.

The top of the surrounding area is also obscured by dense foliage, making it completely impossible to see the interior.

Not only that,

The tree wall structure that formed the blockade area is still expanding outward,

Its tree walls have reached a terrible thickness of hundreds of meters, and if they are not eradicated at the root cause, they will one day encroach on the entire José Valley.

However, Yi Chen's expression remained unchanged.

This blockade structure is related to plants, and it should not be difficult for him.

"Tell us in detail about the progress of your investigation during this time, and by the way, give us a copy of the [rules] of Sheporte Village."

"Progress has been poor, and there is very little data on valid investigations.

Even if there is an "eye tower", it is impossible to peek into anything inside.

I'm considering that if you two can't make an effective investigation within three days, I'll arrange for a group of people to return to Zion and ask for the support of the high-ranking gentlemen. ”

These words once again made Jin angry, and he immediately replied:

"Don't compare the two of us to you shit...... It's a waste of time to just say it without any useful information. ”

Kim's words didn't anger the other party.

It seems that Wilmer, the interim head, is somewhat admitting his incompetence in this matter.

"I prepared the investigation materials yesterday, and they are sorted out in a document bag with the rules of the village, so you can take them directly...... I just want to ask for one thing.

If you manage to make it into the lockdown area, help find the two missing gentlemen's squads and get them out as much as you can. ”

Yi Chen blocked in front of Jin in advance and responded to the other party in a friendly manner:

"Well, we'll try to find the missing team as much as we can. If possible, they will be brought back early. ”

"Thank you."

When handing over the documents, Wilmer deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Yi Chen: "Do you need us to provide an investigation team to enter the forest with you?" ”

Yi Chen responded with a smile:

"If you have the resources and confidence to do so, you can choose to investigate with us.

However, judging by the number of gentlemen in the current stronghold and the state of each person, it is better to stay here.

As you said before, if we don't get back any valid information within three days, report the situation here to Zion. ”

When leaving the stronghold, Yi Chen deliberately reached out and patted the shoulder of the temporary person in charge twice......
