Chapter 68 The Secret of the Underground (Additional update for alliance leader Dawn Y Chenxi!)
Xiao Baihong stood on a tree, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
"It's just those two cars, nothing else." He said to the crowd.
"Wait for them to come." The leader ordered.
The two trucks clearly noticed the situation here and immediately came over.
A soldier with a gun ran over quickly and shouted loudly: "Which army are you from?"
Wu Xiaode answered: "We are from the Second Exploration Team of the Engineering Corps."
"Why don't you leave?"
"The car has some trouble and is being repaired."
"Certificate!"
"Everything is there, give it."
Wu Xiaode handed over his ID.
The soldier looked at the certificate carefully, and a look of relief gradually appeared on his tense face.
"Aren't there ten of you? Why are there only six?" he asked.
The group leader answered: "The other four ran away, and we are preparing to report them."
The soldier showed a clear look and waved to the two trucks.
soon.
Several soldiers got out of the truck, surrounded by a man who looked like an officer, and walked in front of the crowd.
"Where are you going?" the officer asked.
"S11-4798 base." the leader said.
She rubbed her hands, stamped her feet slightly, and glanced towards the truck.
At this time, everyone seemed relaxed on the surface, but they all knew that the group leader was already a little anxious.
The gunner understood and tapped somewhere in the engine.
The roar of the machine suddenly roared.
"It's fixed! Squad Leader Wu!" Falcon shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's go. We must go to the base as soon as possible. After all, we have military affairs!" Wu Xiaode immediately answered.
Xiao Baihong wanted to jump down from the tree directly, but after hesitating, she restrained her thoughts and slowly slid down holding the tree.
Gunslinger and Eagle were already running towards the truck.
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand to shake the officer's hand and said solemnly: "Time is pressing, let's go together?"
"Okay, you guys go ahead, we'll follow you." The officer said.
Everyone got in the car.
The military truck roared violently, raising clouds of dust on the mountain road, and drove towards the depths of the mountains.
About ten minutes passed.
Everyone arrived safely at a base deep in the mountains.
Called a base, it only looks like dozens of large and small tents.
Someone soon came to check the certificates, and then took everyone into the camp to rest for a while, saying that there would be new orders soon.
Wu Xiaode observed it for a while and said strangely:
"It's really incomprehensible..."
"What can't be understood?" Xiao Baihong asked.
"This world can make high-tech things like space teleporters. Why are they still using such backward trucks? Even the camps are so simple. You see, their mobile phones are almost the same as ours." Wu Xiaode said.
Outside the tent, a soldier was holding a mobile phone and dialing anxiously, but he couldn't get through.
"There is indeed something wrong. It is impossible to develop only space technology - so I have been tracing the reason and just found this." The leader said.
"What to do now?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"It is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders. Let's see what we will be assigned to do first, and then make a long-term plan." The regiment leader said.
Not far away.
An old man with a sword and shield embroidered on his epaulettes walked to the center of the camp surrounded by people.
"This is a general, probably the most powerful person here." The regiment leader quickly reminded.
At this time, everyone in the camp stopped what they were doing.
I saw the general standing on several boxes of military supplies and loudly said: "I want to tell you some good news. The excavation work some time ago has been recognized by the United World Government. After returning this time, everyone will receive awards!"
Everyone immediately cheered and applauded.
"That's not right. When this old guy spoke, there was something wrong with his language and he was not sincere." Eagle whispered.
"I feel the same way. When he spoke just now, I wanted to kill him." Xiao Baihong said with a smile.
No matter how squad members communicate privately.
The atmosphere in the camp has become lively.
Morale is high.
On stage.
The general smiled, raised his hands and pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Okay, now everyone listen to me."
"I order all personnel to immediately start the next round of work."
"——We will begin the most important exploration in this mission!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded together.
The whole camp became busy.
The senior officers around the general were like crazy, running back and forth in the camp, giving loud orders to each team, urging everyone to speed up, and making various preparations for entering the crypt.
The general had already led many soldiers and took the lead towards the location of the underground cave.
"Not quite right..."
The leader frowned and said softly.
"Do you want me to go take a look?" Xiao Baihong asked.
"Your soul power?"
"Recovered two points."
"Be careful, don't take action, come back as soon as you get the information." The leader said.
"Got it."
Xiao Baihong opened her black umbrella, walked out of the tent, and suddenly disappeared.
After a while.
He walked back with an umbrella and whispered:
"The general has two correspondents with him. They have been trying to contact the United World Government through various methods, but they can't."
"It's impossible," Falcon said in surprise, "The communication technology in this world is similar to ours, and there are satellites in the sky. It's impossible that we can't contact the superior department."
- His chest is still bleeding.
Wu Xiaode stroked his forehead and turned his eyes.
Watching this happen all the time, but not daring to touch it at all, is really a bit maddening.
"They also contacted other troops, but they couldn't reach them either," Xiao Baihong said.
Everyone fell into silence.
Wu Xiaode suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up.
The Book of the Dead quickly flew down and opened in front of him, revealing lines of small words in ice crystals:
"This book senses an unwilling undead soul."
"His long-cherished wish was too strong, so he stayed in the current world and did not leave."
"With this long-cherished wish, this book has reached a special commission:"
"The secret of the underground."
"Narrative of the Dead: My teacher and other experts all died deep underground. As his student, I can't even figure out what happened underground."
"Please help me find out the cause of the deaths of underground scientists. If you find the answer, I will do my best to repay you."
"Task reward: unknown."
"Would you like to accept it?"
——Another undead mission.
The last time I came, the soldiers asked me to help block the monster so that the people in the fifth secret passage could be evacuated.
This time, I actually encountered more undead.
Do you want to accept this commission?
Wu Xiaode thought for a few breaths and suddenly remembered the talisman that the leader had just given.
"Captain, what does that talisman just now mean?" He asked directly.
"From our Taoist understanding, life around here is heading towards destruction, and no one can save them." The group leader sighed.
"Don't talk about them. We professionals have also died a lot. Maybe more people will die today." Falcon said half-jokingly.
Wu Xiaode glanced at him.
Brother, can you mind your mouth? Do you know how you killed yourself?
He lowered his gaze, thought for a few breaths, and said to the Book of the Dead:
"Accept the commission."
——There is too little information now.
Those who died must have known something they themselves did not know.
You need to cooperate with them!
The Book of the Dead was shocked.
A strange wave emanated from the book.
Wu Xiaode took a look and knew clearly in his heart that this was the Book of the Dead calling the undead souls who had sent out the commission.
suddenly.
A senior officer came over and shouted: "Engineer Corps, Second Exploration Team?"
"Yes!" Wu Xiaode ran forward and responded.
The officer looked at him consideringly, then at the men behind him.
"Besides digging, do you have any other specialties?" he asked.
Other specialties?
Wu Xiaode was startled.
This question was asked so abruptly that his eyes darkened and he simply didn't know how to answer.
"Be sure to tell me your more powerful skills and let him arrange a job for you to go to the underground cave."
A voice sounded.
I saw a translucent figure emerging from the void next to the senior officer.
Undead!
He was also wearing a military uniform. He was thin and elegant, and the pattern on his shoulder straps was exactly the same as the senior officer in front of him!
It seems that he is the one who entrusted me with it!
Wu Xiaode's expression moved and he said with his thoughts:
"I know you want me to explore the secrets underground, but now our situation is also very dangerous. I want to ensure the safety of the team first, and then find a way to help you explore."
The undead said: "I'm here to help you, listen-"
"Humanity can no longer withstand the attack of monsters. This area has been completely captured. The army of monsters will be looking for humans all over the mountains and plains. You can only have a chance of survival by going underground."
"Go underground as soon as possible, at least it is safer than above ground!"
Wu Xiaode took a breath of cold air.
I see!
He looked towards the senior officer and saw that the officer was getting a little impatient for a long time without getting an answer.
"Sir, the people in our team are quite strong and proficient in fighting."
Wu Xiaode said loudly.
The senior officer shook his head and said: "Do you have the strength? I see there are lesbians in your team——"
Wu Xiaode glanced at the group leader.
The leader naturally knows what to do.
She walked to a trailer full of supplies and lifted it with both hands——
Two of the trailer's wheels were off the ground.
The leader immediately put down his hands and stood up, breathing heavily and looking very tired.
Not bad!
Wu Xiaode secretly praised it.
Back when I only had three points of soul power, my physical fitness was several times that of ordinary people.
With the leader's physical fitness far exceeding 10 points of soul power, it is not too difficult to lift the truck with one hand.
But that would be too shocking.
Now this level is just right, leaving a deep impression on people, and just a little bit stronger than normal people.
The officer praised: "You are very energetic! Female soldiers have such strength, and you are proficient in underground searches, but you just said that you are also good at fighting-"
The gunman stepped forward and gave a military salute: "Sir, please allow me to shoot."
"One bullet," the senior officer said.
"Yes!"
The gunman grabbed the sniper rifle and took a casual aim.
Da——
In the sky, a bird was shot down.
The senior officer suddenly made a decision in his mind and said: "You can be selected into the exploration team. You are all the elites among the elites. Now there is a task to be assigned to you. I don't know if you can complete it."
"Promise to complete the mission!" Wu Xiaode said with a military salute.
"Very good, now I order your team to prepare supplies as soon as possible, and then set off immediately, take the No. 2 truck, and head to the underground cave." The senior officer said.
He gave the key to the No. 2 truck to Wu Xiaode, took out a copper number plate, used ink pad, pressed his fingerprint on the number plate, and then solemnly handed it over to Wu Xiaode.
"This number plate means that I selected you to participate in the underground excavation work. Give it to the military affairs officer. He will know how to arrange you." The senior military officer said.
"Yes!" Wu Xiaode said.
The senior officer nodded and hurried away.
Several team members gathered around.
"Passed smoothly," the group leader said.
"Yes, going underground can help you know what people in this world are digging for." Xiao Baihong also answered.
Wu Xiaode glanced at the Book of the Dead unintentionally.
His eyes moved slowly, and he saw the undead officer standing aside, staring at the Book of the Dead curiously, as if he wanted to study it.
That's not right.
"Hey, you are obviously an undead. If there are any secrets underground, you can just go and see them yourself. Why do you want to entrust me to it?" Wu Xiaode said.
"Not even the undead! There are some places I can't enter," the undead soldier said.
Wu Xiaode's face turned dull.
He thought of the hanging god of death.
Is there such a thing underground?
Hell, if it were true, I would rather find a place on the ground to hide the nuclear bomb!
The next moment.
A flash of light appeared beyond the mountains and rivers, covering the sky and the sun.
boom! ! !
The deafening sound of explosions came from afar.
A mushroom cloud slowly rose.
It's a nuclear bomb!
