Not far away, Chen Tian and the other three were sitting there, looking at this side with envy in their eyes.
"If I had come earlier, maybe I could sit with them now and prepare for the product..." Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing this, Ah Jing asked with some surprise: "Weren't you a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain before you came here? You should have been practicing for a long time, haven't you been admitted yet?"
Chen Tian He shook his head helplessly: "Now is the Dharma Ending Age, and the opportunities for practice are getting better and better. There are fewer and fewer dharma, and most of the dharma has been lost in history. Although Wudang Mountain is a famous and upright sect with a long history, most of the dharma has only been passed down in a superficial way, and the real essence has long since disappeared, let alone the quality. "
A Jing nodded as if she understood. Although through Zhao Qi's explanation during this period, she already had a basic understanding of martial arts cultivators, after all, she had never set foot in this field before, so these things were still just a vague concept in her mind.
Then, Ah Jing looked at Bai Wenzheng on the side curiously: "What about you? I heard from the chief that you have lived for nearly a hundred years. Is this true?"
Bai Wenzheng nodded slightly. Unlike Bai Hua, his memories of the past are hidden deep in his heart. Therefore, his eyes are full of stories, deep and cold.
“I have seen the darkest moments of this country, and I have also walked on the edge of chaos. I have seen loved ones die in front of my eyes, and I have also witnessed the decaying bodies of my enemies. In fact, this journey has been , I truly realized that the so-called immortality is actually a curse..." Bai Wenzheng said slowly.
A Jing asked curiously: "In that case, have you not been admitted for such a long time?"
A haze flashed in Bai Wenzheng's eyes: "I can't control myself. The power of Qiongqi Bloodline is more like an unknown and powerful parasite. I can't even control it, let alone use it to become a cultivator. Don’t understand.”
When Chen Tian heard this, he immediately became interested: "Master Hua, what do you look like when you lose control?"
After Bai Wenzheng was silent for a moment, he said seriously: "You don't want to see it. That will happen It’s a nightmare you’ll never forget. During that war, my company was ordered to guard the high ground for less than five hours. After a few hours, the company's ammunition was completely exhausted, and the number of casualties was more than half. However, after holding on for several more hours, I only remember that I seemed to have been hit. When I woke up again, there were corpses everywhere. I was like a monster covered in blood. I crawled out of the pile of dead people. The enemy's army, which was several times larger than ours, was wiped out, and they all died under my bayonet. But from that moment on, I really realized that. , maybe there is a devil hidden in my body... That battle was a military miracle, but I couldn't wait to die there with my comrades. When I was a teenager, I chose to hide myself and not interact with anyone. I hoped that through this, I could contain the uncontrollable power in my body. I don’t know how many years have passed, but I never thought that one day, I would be like this. I will sit with future generations like you..."
Bai Wenzheng's words caused the other two to fall into silence. They seemed to see the bloody scene through his scattered description. Neither Chen Tian nor A Jing knew how strong Bai Wenzheng was. Until now, they have never seen Bai Wenzheng actually take action.
They knew that Zhao Qi's emphasis on Bai Wenzheng was no accident, there must be a reason behind it.
"Report to the head, a call from the QH Provincial Military Region..."
The sudden sound interrupted everyone's contemplation, and they all turned their heads to look.
I saw a Lixin quickly handing the telegram to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi was slightly surprised and wondered what important matters the provincial military region had. He quickly opened the telegram, and after reading it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Then, he raised his head and said to everyone:
"Okay, I have said everything I need to say. The way to practice magic lies in the individual. I can only serve as your guide and guide. Guardians cannot replace your growth. Now, you can go into seclusion. I hope that when you come out of seclusion, you can successfully enter the position of Five Immortals and advance to the realm of Hinayana Immortals..."
The team members nodded one after another, turned around and walked towards the cave in the back mountain together.
These caves are training places specially opened for them by the engineering company. Zhao Qi also specifically ordered that soldiers in the military region were not allowed to enter the back mountain at will unless ordered. This is the pure land he reserved for the 788 Exploration Team, and it is also a forbidden area in the Kunlun Guard Area.
This arrangement is not a differential treatment, but is due to the special circumstances of the 788 exploration team.
Looking at the team members entering the cave one after another, Zhao Qi showed a happy smile on his face.
The day has finally arrived. The team members are about to step into the position of the Five Immortals. This was once so far away in Zhao Qi's plan, but unexpectedly it is right before their eyes in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Qi has full confidence in them and believes that they can successfully advance to the realm of Hinayana immortals after this retreat. After all, the tasks they experienced were unimaginable in the Dharma-ending era. Even in ancient times, when magic cultivators still existed, such experience was not something ordinary monks could experience.
The experience and character tempering experienced by the 788 exploration team are enough for them to cope with all the current problems in cultivation.
It wasn’t until all the team members disappeared into the cave that Zhao Qicai looked at the telegram in his hand again.
The telegram was a congratulatory message from Commander Jiang, and also informed Zhao Qi that the war zone's attitude towards them had changed.
This surprised Zhao Qi a little. He didn't know how much information Zhang Wei, commander of the Western Theater Command, had obtained about the 788 Exploration Team during this period of time.
However, this result is good after all. It means that the 788 Exploration Team and the Kunlun Guard Area can take another step forward, and it is a big step.
Once the military region is established, the development of Unit 788 will rapidly accelerate and enter a period of real rapid development. At the same time, only on the premise of establishing a military region can the expansion work of 788-related departments be further planned.
At this moment, the long-lost system prompt suddenly sounded in Zhao Qi's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the ruins exploration mission of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Now rewards and ruins points will be distributed..."
As the task completion prompt sounded, a message appeared in Zhao Qi's mind. Tips for series of mission rewards.
The rewards for this mission are more generous than before, with a total of 80,000 ruins points. This is the first time that Zhao Qi has obtained so many points at once, which proves how important it is for the 788 exploration team to rescue a dying dragon vein.
In addition, the system mall has also opened the second phase. Here, there are more items that can be exchanged and the grades are higher, but the required relic points are also more.
Zhao Qi, who originally thought he had become "rich", found out after checking the system mall again that the 80,000 points were actually just a drop in the bucket.
However, he was not in a hurry. The military region has not been officially established yet, and there are not many places where points can be used. It is enough to use these points to train the second team for the time being.
However, before Zhao Qi could finish his emotion, the system prompt sounded in his mind again.
"Didi, congratulations to the host for completing one of the main construction tasks of the 788 Exploration Team: successfully forming a fully-staffed exploration action team!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a precious Millennium Phoenix Pill." .
“Host, you It’s really gratifying to gain proficiency in high-level formation techniques.”
“And...”
This series of gains surprised Zhao Qi, and he completed it in one go. Two tasks, and the reward notification sounds in my mind continued one after another.
After completing the task of building a team, the system generously rewarded 100,000 exploration points at one time, which seemed to remind Zhao Qi of the importance of the main line construction task. As expected, after the system reward tone ended, a new task reminder came.
"Main mission one: Please use the code name 788 as the host to establish a special Chinese military region as soon as possible, and enjoy independent management and dispatch rights..."
"Attention: This mission is crucial. Host, please complete it as soon as possible. After completion, you will have a special military area, and then unlock the construction of important facilities such as the 788 ruins prison and weapons depot. Establishment tasks, as well as expansion tasks for 788 related departments. "
"Main mission 2: Ask the host to recruit soldiers as soon as possible and form a full 788 exploration second team to provide sufficient personnel for the construction of the special military region. Get ready! ”
“Note: This task is a long-term task and can be completed step by step”
Zhao Qi's face was as calm as water, and he didn't seem surprised by the system's reminder. He knew that although these main tasks did not have a clear time limit, they were undoubtedly the top priority.
More importantly, these tasks coincide with Zhao Qi’s plan. The construction of the second team of the 788 Exploration Team has begun to take shape, and there are three reserve members.
Although these three people still seem a little confused and don't know much about the 788 exploration team, in Zhao Qi's view, this is not a problem. Because even Bai Hua has gone through such a stage.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhao Qi to establish the second action team. What is more important is to enable the 788 Exploration Team to independently build a military region.
Only by completing the upgrade of the Kunlun Garrison Regiment to the Military Region can we continue to advance the subsequent construction tasks.
Of course, at this time, Zhao Qi also felt that the pressure was relieved a lot. After all, the Western Theater Command has begun to pay attention to the 788 exploration team and has even entered the review and evaluation process.
So, as long as you work hard, this day will come sooner or later.
At this time, Chen Tian and the others looked at Zhao Qi who was stunned there, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Captain Zhao, now that the whole team has gone to retreat, is it our turn?"
Chen Tian approached Zhao Qi curiously and asked:
"When can we officially join the 788 Exploration Team?"
Asked by Chen Tian, Zhao Qi came back to his senses and smiled meaningfully:
"The 788 Exploration Team has an unwritten rule. According to the rules, if you want to join, you must go through the hell training week.
Are you ready?”
Hearing this, Bai Wenzheng and A Jing also came over and stood. Beside Chen Tian. They were full of curiosity about the hell training week mentioned by Zhao Qi.
Even Bai Wenzheng, who served as a soldier, has long been out of touch with the times because he has lived in seclusion for many years. He didn't understand the devil training program that had emerged in the military in recent years.
What's more, the 788 Exploration Team is a special force. What kind of training Zhao Qi prepared for them naturally aroused the curiosity of the three.
Chen Tian looked at Zhao Qi with confidence:
"Captain Zhao, I have been ready for a long time. As long as I can join the 788 exploration team, I will fight even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Break in!”
A Jing also nodded firmly:
"The opportunity is right in front of me. If I miss it, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.
No matter what, I want to see what the devil training of the 788 Exploration Team is like!"
Bai Wenzheng Although he didn't speak, his eyes revealed firm determination. Perhaps his purpose in joining the 788 Exploration Team was different from others, but after these few days of observation, he clearly felt that Zhao Qi was a hidden master.
Maybe, he can really help himself.
Zhao Qi looked at the three of them, nodded with a smile, and then waved:
"Let's go and gather at the training ground!"
For Zhao Qi, the purpose of the three joining the 788 exploration team at this time is not important. Just like Zhu Qingyang and Hu Bayi, before they truly shouldered their mission and responsibilities, they joined the 788 Exploration Team for different purposes.
For example, Zhu Qingyang’s original purpose of joining was just to be recruited and whitewashed. But now, even the most naughty Zhu Qingyang has become a qualified team member and soldier, observing discipline and protecting his family and country!
So Zhao Qi is not in a hurry to interfere with their thoughts. For Chen Tian and the others, the top priority is to make them clearly aware of what they are facing.
As for the Hell Week plan that the three were about to start, Zhao Qi had already made preparations.
...
At the same time, on the other side, the two directors Shang Hui and Shang Qiu, who had returned from the Kunlun Security Area, had arrived in the capital.
Back in a familiar place, the two directors, as old acquaintances, did not exchange too many greetings. They said goodbye to each other directly and returned to their respective departments. After all, they have busy work to deal with every day.
On the way back to the capital, Shang Hui and Shang Qiu had been discussing the 788 exploration team. Of course, before returning, they willingly sent Zhuge Qing back to the Zhuge family's old home, and repeatedly told him to study hard and not to waste the Zhuge family's inheritance.
This fully shows that the attitudes of the two people have undergone earth-shaking changes.
And it was Zhao Qi who brought about this change.
On the way back, they had been discussing how to use their influence in the capital to put in a few good words for Zhao Qi without causing trouble, trying to win him some opportunities at the top of the capital.
However, although they are bureau chiefs and have a prominent status in the eyes of outsiders, their influence is insignificant in the capital, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.
Therefore, although the two wanted to help each other, they couldn't think of a good way for the moment. They could only bury their feelings deep in their hearts and ponder it silently.
After returning to the office, Shang Hui first dealt with several backlogged documents and solved some problems left during his absence. (End of chapter)
