This time, the distance is a bit far.
They drove for two hours, covering a distance of 6,000 kilometers, before finally reaching the location indicated by Xu Qingqiang.
Similarly, send out a large number of undead to surround and observe the target enemy.
The ghost crow flew out first, and then the Demon Eye Lord opened Wei Huan's field of vision.
Xu Qingqiang was a step behind because he had asked Wei Huan to provide him with a mount, so Wei Huan had no choice but to summon the Shura Roma first.
He was willing to agree to such a small matter since it was his own employee.
Liu Chengzhi did not go with them this time.
Good news! Stimulated by the battle, Liu Chengzhi finally sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Two hours earlier, he had taken the advancement potion and returned to his room to cultivate.
I don't know if I'll be able to get out before breakfast today.
About three minutes later, the Ghost Raven's intelligence and the Demon Eye's eyes simultaneously transmitted back information about the enemy.
Sure enough, it was just a super-large tribe of wandering monsters.
Each tree was covered with red, honeycomb-shaped nests, and mosquitoes, about a meter in size, flew in and out of the nests.
The heavy nests bent the tree trunks. These mosquitoes seemed to carry some kind of virus that even plants couldn't be immune to, causing them to develop white spots and look half-dead.
This group is very large; the boundaries of their territory cannot be seen at a glance, making it seem like a kingdom.
That's normal. If it were just an ordinary swarm of mosquitoes, it wouldn't attract Xu Qingqiang's appetite. There must be king-level mosquitoes here.
"Community" is a type of monster group that only appears on Class 3 highways.
They gathered together, their power immense, like a kingdom.
However, most monster kingdoms do not have treasure chests; killing them will only drop materials. King-level materials are always core materials for certain professions or vehicle upgrades.
A king-level strength is basically equivalent to a legendary-level monster.
Therefore, under the same level, it is very difficult for humans to destroy such a kingdom and obtain the key materials.
These groups may even launch attacks on human cities, causing enormous damage.
Wandering monsters and monster packs are among the most common "challenges" in the world.
Monster Kingdom is where the challenge world sets up bosses for challengers.
Such a monster kingdom must exist in the road challenge assessment, and there may even be more than one.
Now that their locations are known in advance, the convoy can avoid them.
Of course, Wei Huan would definitely choose another method.
He's merely a king-level figure.
Kill them, that's it.
...
...
[Obtained 1 King-level Bloodsucking Mosquito Heart]
Wei Huan asked Mu Zhong, "What kind of advancement material is this?"
Mu Zhong remembered: "Criminal."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows, and his other eye, burning with green flames, saw Xu Qingqiang galloping towards the car with a carefree expression.
"Fifth tier?"
"The fourth tier is exactly what Xu Qingqiang can use, but I don't know what level of criminal he awakened back then."
"Put it in the warehouse, and if he needs it, he can exchange it for DKP."
"Okay." Mu nodded. That was indeed the case. Materials were also important resources and could only be obtained by exchanging contribution points.
After Xu Qingqiang got on the vehicle, he saw that the warehouse supplies contained newly added King-level Bloodsucking Mosquito Hearts, which would require 200 DKP to replace.
He lit a cigarette for himself, his peach blossom eyes piercing through the dark blue smoke as he looked at Wei Huan and said, "Doesn't your conscience hurt? I'm the one who ripped the heart out of the blood-sucking mosquito."
Mu Zhong laughed from the side: "If we do two more operations tonight, you'll have enough points."
"I'm not going!" Xu Qingqiang refused outright, but after glancing into Wei Huan's dark eyes, he added, "It's all too far, we can't get back before dawn. Of course, it's fine if you insist on going, I have DKP anyway."
Mu Zhong thought for a moment, then moved his wheelchair forward a little and asked, "Could you elaborate on your perception abilities? You seem to have a good sense of strength and distance, right? In your perception, how many monsters will block our path on our way to the destination? Can you specifically distinguish between the dark beasts?"
"Ah~~~" Xu Qingqiang yawned, "Are you asking so many questions, are you checking my household registration?"
Mu Zhong smiled good-naturedly: "So, may I answer?"
Xu Qingqiang stared at Mu Zhong for a few seconds before reluctantly offering an explanation.
Mu Zhong quickly formed his own judgment.
Firstly, due to a lack of understanding of the [criminal sequence], it is difficult to confirm whether Xu Qingqiang's "extrasensory perception" of the crisis is his own ability or an ability that all criminals possess.
This ability, as a kind of talent, "extrasensory perception" and the intuitive images displayed by radar on the technological side are different.
More often than not, it is influenced by the state of the perceiver.
For example, right now.
Xu Qingqiang said, "It seems that things that are far away don't smell very good either. Before, I felt that I could get there quickly, but now they feel very far away. Oh dear, I can't really explain it."
After listening, Mu Tangge analyzed, "Either the other party is really moving, or Xu Qingqiang is full, so his perception has become blurred and he lacks the motivation to move."
Mu nodded and continued, "There's another possibility: if this is a heightened perception of crisis, then Brother Qiang's subconscious has already incorporated our combat capabilities, so the enemies that were dangerous in the past are no longer dangerous."
Mu's cousin said, "Perhaps we should continue to confirm this."
Mu Zhong said, "Hunger must be Qiang Ge's motivation. He ate too much today."
Xu Qingqiang rolled his eyes and exhaled smoke.
"Stop your analysis. Don't you think that's very disrespectful? I'm going to get angry."
Mu Zhong smiled and looked deeply at Xu Qingqiang, saying, "Brother Qiang, we are getting to know you as your teammates."
Xu Qingqiang pursed his lips, and finally said helplessly, "Forget about tonight. My intuition tells me that there's nothing good ahead, or rather, it's too far."
Mu Zhong then truly believed him and asked Wei Huan, "Shall we go back now?"
Wei Huan said, "Let's go back."
The trust between the two men brought a smile to Xu Qingqiang's tightly pursed lips.
The vehicle started and headed back.
Xu Qingqiang crossed his legs, slung them back in his chair, and looked at himself with a smug expression.
The amount of DKP increases to 100 at night.
Two more times and he could exchange them for gold equipment. He never imagined that wealth could come so easily.
On the way back, a sense of order descended upon the car.
Liu Chengzhi finally succeeded in advancing to the third level of Ghost Step.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong went over to offer their congratulations.
Liu Chengzhi's eyes reddened with excitement: "It's all thanks to the boss's leadership. I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to make a big breakfast."
"You should rest and consolidate your recovery first. For breakfast tomorrow, everyone can just eat whatever they want."
Mu Zhong stopped Liu Chengzhi, refusing to let him go downstairs again.
Moved, Liu Chengzhi said that after he consolidated his efforts, he would go back to his regular work.
After saying goodbye to Liu Chengzhi, Wei Huan pushed Mu Zhong upstairs.
Level 4 vehicles can reach speeds of 1200 mph, and they can return to the convoy in a maximum of three hours.
There was still plenty of time, so Wei Huan told Mu Zhong to go upstairs and rest, as he would be on night duty that night.
Their gaze fell on Mu Zhong. The eyes behind the silver glasses skipped over the green code, swept over the rows of data, and finally settled on the special status.
Wei Huan was puzzled.
Why hasn't my depression disappeared?
They've developed so smoothly; everything is moving in a positive direction.
Is Mu Zhong's inability to let go due to his leg injury? Or is it because he gave up his car?
Overwhelmed by inexplicable anxiety, Wei Huan placed his fingers on Mu Zhong's shoulder.
Mu Zhong sensed that Wei Huan was looking back at him, and his bright eyes seemed to fall into Wei Huan's heart, so clear and refreshing.
Could it be that the silver glasses are not displaying the correct information?
Wei Huan felt a sudden unease, after all, the person was right in front of him, and he couldn't see a trace of malice in those eyes.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong noticed that Wei Huan seemed preoccupied.
Wei Huan did not answer immediately; instead, he pushed Mu Zhong into his room.
The deputy commander's room was converted into Mu Zhong's studio and training room.
Mu Zhong is currently staying with Wei Huan, and they need to use the same door to enter and exit the room.
In other words, Mu Zhong took a bath in Wei Huan's bedroom not long ago.
As soon as Wei Huan entered the room, he felt a faint dampness in the air.
Perhaps it's just psychological.
In short, his gaze swept over the direction of the bathroom, and then he slowly pushed Mu Zhong into the newly partitioned bedroom.
Wei Huan's bedroom and Mu Zhong's bedroom are separated by only one wall.
Each person has 200 square meters of private space, with their own study, bedroom, and living room, but they share a bathroom and a large living room.
Of course, as a junior technician, Mu Zhong could build another toilet on this vehicle.
However, neither of them brought it up, as they both wanted to get closer.
The bathroom is a very private place, even more private than the bedroom.
Opening this place to another person is like opening a gap in your own private space, allowing the other person to come and go as they please.
Wei Huan pushed Mu Zhong directly into his bedroom.
Then, without saying a word, she carried Mu Zhong to the bed.
When he was put down, Wei Huan leaned forward, and the two of them were in a certain position.
That one moment filled one with imagination.
Mu Zhong did not make any move to stop him, but Wei Huan did not continue.
Wei Huan simply took Mu Zhong's hand and let his fingers touch the frame of his glasses.
He asked Mu Zhong, "Do you remember what I look like?"
Mu Zhong's eyelashes trembled.
nod.
"I remember, I've always remembered, so I've always wanted to ask you, does it hurt? Is it very painful?"
Wei Huan nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, but it's very inconvenient. My lips are stuck together, making it difficult to eat."
When I make facial expressions, my whole face is pulled and stretched taut, and I feel a dull ache.
Sometimes I don't want to be so cold, but I just can't.
"I know." Mu Zhong smiled, without taking off Wei Huan's glasses, even though that was Wei Huan's purpose.
He simply placed his hand on Wei Huan's face, and beneath his fingers was a pockmarked surface, completely unrelated to human skin.
He moved his finger down a little further and didn't touch his lips, but instead touched his gums.
He remembered Wei Huan's face and how badly it was disfigured.
This is the spot where there is no skin or flesh.
"We should seek healing from the angels. There are already angels on the front lines now, thanks to you. They will grant your request."
Wei Huan took Mu Zhong's hand and said, "I want to complete this assessment, then go and randomly challenge someone to take revenge, and accumulate points to exchange for angel intervention. No one can say anything then."
Mu Zhong frowned: "No one should slander you; you have the world in your heart."
Wei Huan said calmly, "I'm not that great. I just don't want to die. If humanity loses, none of us will survive."
A hint of mockery flashed in Mu Zhong's eyes: "Yes, it's such a simple principle, yet many people can't understand it."
Wei Huan looked intently at Mu Zhong, his gaze always lingering on his eyes. He really loved those eyes and wanted to look at them forever.
He looked into his eyes and said, "In the random challenges, I'll accumulate a lot of points, mine and yours. An angel will come and heal both of us."
Of course, angels have limited abilities; only the Angel of Life can regenerate severed limbs. But you will also need treatment, as your physical condition has never been very good.
If you want to become a mech pilot in the future, you need to take care of your health.
Mu Zhong was a man, and even though Wei Huan tried his best to hide it, Mu Zhong's words still revealed a cautiousness in him.
It was as if she was afraid of touching his sensitive spots, so she avoided it.
He studied psychology, and as an intelligence agent, he would deal with all sorts of strange and unsavory characters.
Wei Huan knew all too well what this mindset represented.
This signifies that she is entering Wei Huan's heart.
Wei Huan, representing him, was feeling conflicted about whether or not to pursue him.
"Okay." Mu Zhong had no reason to refuse. His eyes were full of affection as he nodded. "Okay, sure, of course. Let's earn points together and get treatment together."
Wei Huan's tense face relaxed.
As he said, the disfigurement actually makes it difficult for him to make larger expressions.
But at this moment, his expression was clear.
He was too concerned about the [depression] that Mu Zhong's special condition couldn't shake off.
Therefore, he did not want his suggestion to burden Mu Zhong.
Before leaving, Wei Huan grasped his hand and nodded: "Get some rest. You always get tired so easily."
"Hmm. [()]'Come and see the latest chapters and complete chapters'()" Mu nodded and relaxed on the bed.
The perspective suddenly became a bit strange. He was lying in bed, and someone was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with concern. It was a complicated situation.
It felt like a kind of oppressive force, and I wasn't used to it. After all, in the past 20 years, Mu Zhong had never put himself in such a perspective.
But Mu Zhong chose to confront it head-on, facing this strange atmosphere head-on.
He grabbed Wei Huan's hand and kissed it. "Don't worry, I'll get some rest. You'll have to work hard tonight."
The feeling of those gentle, soft lips imprinted on the back of my hand is clear and unforgettable.
After Wei Huan left and closed the door, he walked downstairs, his fingers still unconsciously rubbing against the skin where the touch had been.
All the expressions on his face disappeared only after he crossed the square and returned to the driver's seat.
Inside the driver's cab, Brother Mu was on duty.
Xu Qingqiang was also there, but he had fallen asleep in his chair.
He was sleeping soundly, looking as if he had just finished a good meal.
When Mu's cousin saw Wei Huan return, he glanced behind him and asked, "Is Captain Mu resting?"
Wei Huan said, "I let him rest. His attributes dropped faster than others, which should be related to his injuries."
"He was seriously injured and almost didn't make it back. Actually, thinking about it, it's only been a little over a month since that explosion. He's far from fully recovered."
"Tell me about that big explosion."
Mu Tangge looked over in surprise, assuming that Wei Huan knew.
Wei Huan sighed, "He said it was a military secret and didn't go into details."
Mu Tangge chuckled: "This guy always insists on unnecessary details."
"So how can I know?"
"Of course, I don't think there's any need to hide this from you."
Mu Tang didn't even try to avoid Xu Qingqiang's thoughts, saying directly, "The game of power, the struggle for supremacy between nations, is ultimately an intelligence war."
The pressure faced by the Northeast Army Corps was the greatest among the other three army corps.
The area we are responsible for defending is bordered by the Great Bear Kingdom to the north, the Mulberry Kingdom overseas, and Osama across the sea.
Intelligence warfare is the most brutal form of warfare in peacetime, let alone in this chaotic era.
The massive explosion on Qin Island was a trap, designed to kill the entire squad, including Mu Zhong. They…
Upon hearing this, Wei Huan interrupted, "May I know who the other party is?"
"Of course, the Mulberry Tree Kingdom. They disguised themselves as people from the Great Xia Kingdom and purchased a large amount of challenge supplies in the Great Xia Kingdom. When they tried to trade these supplies back to their country, they were discovered by our intelligence department."
To stop the deal, Mu Zhong went with the team on a mission, but it was clear that the other side's true purpose was not the transaction; their goal was to kill Mu Zhong.
"Targeting Mu Zhong?" Wei Huan's eyes hardened upon hearing this. "So, they're hunting down our geniuses? Is that what they mean?"
"Yes, Mu Zhong was too dazzling during those two years, targeting Tian..."
The assassination attempt was not an isolated incident. In fact, special departments in various countries often take actions to obstruct the competition for the rookie championship.
"But this is an evolutionary war between humans and dark beasts!"
"Unfortunately, before the battle with the Dark Beasts, there was an even more brutal competition within humanity. Most leaders believed that it was enough for me to be strong. As long as the resources were in my hands, I could build an invincible lion and defeat the Dark Beasts."
"It's not complicated at all." Just then, Xu Qingqiang, who had been listening for who knows how long, suddenly spoke up, "Everyone is thinking, if we have to choose a village chief for Blue Star Village, why can't that village chief be me?"
His head was tilted to the side, the twisting arc of which was far more exaggerated than that of a normal person, as if his neck had been twisted 180 degrees.
"Manager Mu, am I right?"
Brother Mu gave a wry smile, then nodded.
"Very accurate."
Wei Huan's eyelashes trembled.
This was an answer he hadn't expected.
In his previous life, he never reached the true core of power, so he was unaware that beyond that brutal battlefield, there was an even more cruel war.
An assassination genius?!
What are these pigs thinking?
Is this something a human being could do?
No wonder humanity lost in the end.
From this perspective, the loss was not unjust at all.
"In this evolutionary war, humanity has been consistently outmatched. The reason is quite simple: we lack a leader for our civilization, a leader who can truly command the respect of everyone and govern the entire world."
Mu Tangge said, "At first, Da Xia succeeded, but after the appearance of the Dark Apostles in Osam, it became restless. In the past two years, the Fence Kingdom and the Tula Kingdom have colluded with the Great Bear Kingdom to jointly suppress Da Xia and Osam."
Even the five strongest nations in human history couldn't unite as one, and those outside of them were a disorganized mess.
There were also things that Wei Huan didn't understand.
"What is the Sangshu Kingdom trying to do by getting involved in the competition between major powers? Is it their way of taking action against Mu Chong?"
Brother Mu nodded: "It's confirmed that they were the ones who did it. They cooperated with us while assassinating our genius."
"Whoosh—" Xu Qingqiang made a strange sound, mimicking the motion of flying with his fingers, and finally opened his fingers, "Bang!"
"It's just a small area, let's just throw a few mushrooms in. These shrewish fools are just wasting the air of Earth."
Mu Tangge ignored his arrogant words and continued to say to Wei Huan: "Among the countries that challenge the world, Mulberry Tree Kingdom is considered a first-class power, and it also played an important role in the past battles against the Dark Beasts."
We have no evidence of the assassination of the genius. Commander Mu has been trying to find someone to investigate the matter, but the other party's methods are very sophisticated.
In addition, some people from the Great Xia were helping them, which also affected our investigation.
After listening, Wei Huan said, "Send me a copy of the intelligence that isn't evidence."
Mu Tangge looked at Wei Huan with shining eyes and nodded.
He guessed what Wei Huan was planning to do.
If Wei Huan is going to do it, the Mu family will definitely support him.
Commander Mu dared not make a move; as an official, any action he took would have far-reaching consequences. But the Mu family dared; the Mu family was protective of its own. Sang Shuguo's actions against their family's genius were a provocation, and the Mu family would make them pay the price!
Mu's cousin promised to send him the information as soon as he returned to Blue Star.
After that, the driver's cab was quiet for a while.
Xu Qingqiang suddenly asked, "Do we get DKP when we go on missions on Earth?"
"No." Wei Huan knew what kind of DKP he wanted, but this was a private matter, so he definitely didn't have any.
Xu Qingqiang continued, "What is it?"
"I don't know. If necessary, I also have quite a few private collections."
"That's good. Call me when you come."
Wei Huan didn't speak, and Xu Qingqiang didn't speak either.
The car fell silent again.
This silence lasted until they returned to the team.
...
Four o'clock in the morning.
The Tier IV vehicle, traveling at full speed, returned to the convoy.
No one knew they had left.
They made a discreet exchange with the Mu family's fourth-class vehicles.
However, before leaving, the Mu family's convoy driver sent a message saying: "[We found a rat hiding in the convoy, but it's very well hidden and it will take some time to dig it out.]"
At this point, Wei Huan was already a little sleepy and planned to close his eyes and rest for a while.
But after seeing the message, he perked up again.
Last night was very peaceful; not even any wandering monsters spawned.
Calmness is not necessarily a good thing when the world is challenging.
Challenge the World is probably brewing some big surprise.
The uncertainty of waiting is annoying, as is the fact that an investigation is halfway done but no results are yet available.
It's like a landmine that's been planted in advance. He knows it's right in front of him, but he still chooses to walk this path and step on it the next second. That's not his style.
Could you specify a particular area?
[Yes, it's a team that merged from Group A.]
[The people you brought?]
[...]
No wonder he didn't notice, and this group of people had been somewhat detached from his convoy.
The Mu family's level four tank commanders were able to sense the anomaly because they were in that convoy.
Even if they joined later and came to his team for help, they shouldn't have done these two-faced things.
We ate his food, smashed his bowl, and now we want to wipe out his entire family?
Damn it!
Are all 10,000+ people suspects?
[Approximately 100 suspected vehicles have been identified.]
[Tag it and send it to me.]
[yes.]
After instinctively answering "yes," the fourth-level tank commander of the Mu family had a moment of blankness on his face.
Although he was assigned by his family to assist Wei Huan, he called himself a "protector" and believed that he was stronger than Wei Huan in terms of both strength and experience.
This clear superior-subordinate relationship was not what he had initially envisioned.
After pondering for a while, Mu's fourth-level chariot commander sent the compiled information to Wei Huan.
The intelligence report listed the names of those who confirmed speaking on the local area network, and finally circled a range based on the location of their vehicles.
It was said to be 100 vehicles, but the designated area actually included 300 vehicles.
The number of connections does not match the number on the local area network, so the intelligence needs further screening.
But Wei Huan didn't care about that.
With a little time before dawn, he ordered his butler to drive to the vicinity of the "designated area".
The undead army emerged from the portal and surrounded the three hundred vehicles.
The Crypt Beast Mother Beast is a high wall, the Wolves and Facehuggers are thorns on the ground, the Shura Empire is watching with predatory eyes, and the Demon Eye Lord is suppressing them from the sky.
With only three hundred vehicles, the undead army quickly surrounded them.
None of them will escape!
