Following.

Lin Lin came to the meeting place of the scientific research team early and waited.

The meeting place was in Hu Zhentian's office, and Hu Zhentian and Qiu Chu were also waiting here early.

"Mr. Lin, I still need a lot of help from you in this exploration operation."

Qiu Chu stood up and took out the folder from the side and put it in front of Lin Lin: "This is the itinerary of the operation, although our goals are different, but the final destination is the same, there should be no danger along the way, but please take care of Mr. Lin, after all, these scientific researchers are very precious." ”

Picking up the folder, Lin Lin quickly glanced at it, it was indeed just an ordinary scientific expedition, the danger level was almost zero, and the only danger that could be encountered was the sandstorm that might occur.

"It seems like an easy task, but you should be able to accomplish it alone." Throwing the folder on the table, Lin Lin shrugged: "However, since I took the initiative to join, of course I will protect their safety." ”

"As long as nothing comes up that I can't fix."

Lin Lin still hasn't forgotten the crape myrtle cosmic breath that the system said, just because of this thing, Lin Lin believes that there is a very likely unexpected situation.

Moreover, the system just says that there is no breath of life, which may be a text trap, what if it is a zombie? That thing should ...... There's no such thing as a breath of life, right?

After a series of things in the Ziwei Universe, Lin Lin can now be said to have begun to believe in these myths and stories.

Desert, isn't this a thousand miles of red land? Maybe there's something like it, and I don't know if that guy has the breath of life or not.

"Tiger Boss, we're here!"

A greeting interrupted Lin Lin's thoughts, and three people in combat uniforms walked in from outside the door, two men and one woman, and it could be seen from the standing posture that they

Hu Zhentian turned to look at the people who came, and said, "Since you are here, then sit down, Qiu Chu, you tell them about the content of the action." ”

"Okay." Qiu Chu pushed his glasses, turned on the projection and began to tell the content of the action, that is, the content in the folder that Lin Lin had just looked.

After a while, Qiu Chu finished speaking, he raised his head and pushed his glasses again: "That's all for this mission, it's a very simple task, I believe you." ”

"Okay, now you know each other for yourselves, Commander Tiger and I are going to see that group of old stubborns." Qiu Chu smiled, and then left the office after Hu Zhentian.

"You're the temporary captain assigned to us by the Tiger Boss?"

The only female player among the three stood up and looked at Lin Lin, patted the teammates beside him, and asked Lin Lin, "Can you really be the captain with your thin appearance?" ”

"Captain temporary, I'm not going to give you any orders, just when I don't exist." Lin Lin didn't refute, he didn't want to talk to others about this kind of thing, anyway, sooner or later, it would be separated, and it was useless to say so much.

"You're self-aware." The woman nodded, then stretched out her hand: "My name is Li Xi." ”

"Lin Lin."

"Hello, my name is Wang Nanming." Wang Nanming stood up, touched his head, and apologized to Lin Lin: "Sister Xi is like this, don't take it to heart, Boss Tiger said that you are the captain, then you are the captain, you should give orders, we will all listen." ”

"Hey, Xiao Mingzi, what did you say?" Li Xi said unhappily beside him.

"My name is Qin Fang, this, Captain Lin, you can call at will if you have something." The man who looked very honest smiled shyly at Lin Lin.

"Hey, hey, why are you two like this?" Li Xi was dissatisfied and sat on the chair angrily.

Lin Lin glanced left and right and asked, "There are no others, right?" Just the four of us? ”

"There are two more, but they're already on their way, scouting ahead." Wang Nanming smiled.

"Are you all done? Let's go quickly, finish the task early, and I'll go back to playing the game. Li Xi stood up and walked towards the outside of the house.

……

Seeing Lin Lin walk out privately, Hu Zhentian smiled: "It seems that you all know each other, in the next few days, these nerds will all rely on your protection, and when you collect data, you can hurry back, Mr. Lin, you can also do your own things by then." ”

"Okay." Lin Lin nodded, this was indeed discussed at the beginning, they were responsible for leading the way, and they could leave on their own to protect them after completing the data collection.

Then, with Lin Lin's answer, the system actually triggered a new task.

[The host triggers a random task to protect the scientific research team to complete data collection]

[Mission Tips: Because of the video, Hu Zhentian's scientific research team will go to the scene of the incident to collect data, please protect them on the way.] 】

[Task time limit: Protect all the way until the data collection is completed.] 】

[Quest reward: 5 attribute points.] 】

Looking at this task reward, Lin Lin couldn't help but pout, this reward is too shabby, right? Just 5 attribute points, what about calling it Hanako?

However, since he was on the way, Lin Lin still took the task, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, don't be in vain.

Lin Lin is very puzzled about the trigger conditions of this task, this time such a small thing can trigger a random task, he has hit other people's Nian family base camp before, and he has not seen any movement in the system.

In the end, Lin Lin could only regard the crape myrtle universe as a task trigger condition.

"Are you all set?" Seeing that Lin Lin came back to his senses, Hu Zhentian continued: "Everyone get in the car, I wish you all the best in your mission." ”

……

As the car drove into the basin, there was still some greenery visible at first, but the further back it went, the more barren it became, and the temperature became higher and higher as the car went deeper into the basin, until it reached an astonishing forty-five degrees.

Slowly, the car stopped, and the driver said to everyone: "There are too many quicksand bunkers in front of you for vehicles to enter, and now you have to walk through it on your own." ”

"By the way, I have to warn you one more thing, this place is not very clean, many people go in every year to explore, and then never come back, you have to be careful."

Then, everyone got out of the car, and the driver turned his head and looked at the depths of the basin in fear, then restarted the car and left the place as if he had fled.

At this time, Lin Lin kept thinking about what the driver said, it was not clean? Gone and gone? And, What does that last glance at the driver mean? Is it really as you think, there are zombies here or something?

"This driver." Lin Lin glanced at Wang Nanming and asked, "Is it your own people?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Nanming thought for a while: "No, it seems that the tiger boss found someone to go to a nearby town to spend money to invite him, and it is said that he knows this piece very well." ”

"Do you have any thoughts on his last words?" Lin Lin asked.

Li Xi said unhappily at this time: "What can you think, this is feudal superstition, every day you talk about gods and ghosts, no matter how powerful it is, how many missiles can it withstand?" ”

"This girl is right."

Behind him, a gray-haired scientific researcher agreed: "Then there are any demons and monsters, they are all deceiving themselves." ”

"Old man, I like your words, let's go, let's go ahead." As he spoke, Li Xi pushed the scientific researchers all the way forward, and shouted, "What about the demons and monsters? Where? Come out and show this girl. ”

Watching them set off, Lin Lin also put aside his thoughts, and said to Wang Nanming and Qin Fang: "Then let's go, you go ahead, I am in charge of the back of the palace, and shout loudly if there is any situation." ”

"Roger!" Compared to Li Xi, Wang Nanming and Qin Fang were more like soldiers, even if Lin Lin was just a temporary captain, they did not show any unconvincing and completely obeyed Hu Zhentian's arrangement.

So, everyone slowly followed the map towards their destination.

……

At night, several improvised tents were set up, and everyone ate the compressed biscuits they carried with them under the starry sky.

Li Xi gnawed on the compressed biscuits, and complained: "This mission is good for everything, there are fights, there is money to be made, and military merits can be obtained, the only bad thing is that this compressed biscuit is too unpalatable, we are all in the interstellar era, and we still eat this kind of thing." ”

"Tell me, are we a little crooked about the tech tree? Light has developed weapons and spaceships, but there has been no development in food. Li Xi pulled Wang Nanming and asked.

"Sister Xi, have you read science fiction novels hundreds of years ago again? This kind of thing, even now, is just a concept, and we don't know if it's crooked. Wang Nanming replied with a bitter face, in the popular saying of a long time ago, Li Xi is good at everything, and the bad thing is that he opens his mouth and doesn't stop talking.

Looking at Wang Nanming's expression, Li Xi was a little displeased: "What's wrong?" I'm such a big beauty talking to you, not only don't you thank me, but you also dislike it, right? If I'm outside, you'll have to line up if you want to talk to me. ”

"Yes, yes, what Sister Xi said is right, my fault." Wang Nanming let out a long sigh, he shouldn't have sat next to Li Xi, you see how quiet Qin Fang is sitting next to Lin Lin, just eat when he eats.

Seeing that Wang Nanming was still a little reluctant to talk to him, Li Xi was about to continue to educate him for a few words, when he heard a voice from the scientific researcher: "Help!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Lin and the others immediately threw down the compressed biscuits in their hands and ran over there.

"Dr. Yang, what's going on? What about Dr. Zhang? ”

Just now, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Yang left the camp together, saying that they were going to find a convenient place, and the result is that this is the case.

Dr. Zhang is missing, and Dr. Yang still has two deep wounds on his body, as if he has been bitten by something.

"You guys go and save Dr. Zhang, he's been captured by that strange thing." Dr. Yang was mentally unstable at this time and was on the verge of collapse.
