This place is fun

Chapter 104 Mutation
Zhai Ling nodded and said, "Now you understand why I am willing to lead the team to find him, right?"

"I see." Xue Long smiled bitterly, "It would be the same for me."

They were originally a group of low-ranking officers who were marginalized in the army. They were squeezed out to join the local militia. It can be said that forming this T-shaped camp is their only task at the moment and their last hope.

If he does a good job and no one can find fault with him, he may have a chance to return to the main force of the Northern Regiment in the future. But if he messes up, his future in the army that he has fought hard for over the past decade will probably be cut off.

It was also because of this that as soon as they arrived in Yishan City, they set their sights on the children of aristocratic families.

Now that the war was about to start, they had no time to build and train this battalion bit by bit. Only by taking advantage of the natural hierarchical order of the people of Yishan City and capturing the leading children of the noble families could they organize a mob in the shortest possible time.

But what they didn't expect was that such a big change happened on the first day of actual combat training.

To be honest, Xue Long was very disappointed when he led the team to evacuate. Five of the six great families in Yishan City were trapped. Many of them were heirs of the families. No one could afford such consequences.

However, what they didn't expect was that Zhai Ling rescued half of the 36 people who were trapped. The most important people among them, such as Yue Shifeng and Lin Xuan, were among them. Even Su Daoshan ran back after being rescued.

This way, things will take a turn for the better.

After all, Zhai Ling had fulfilled his responsibility by rescuing so many people. Moreover, discovering the wormhole exit and notifying the base camp immediately was also a great achievement. The two offset each other, and even the most picky people could not make a fuss about this matter.

Thinking further, when the base camp sends its main force over, these people of theirs might be able to turn a disaster into a blessing and be transferred to a more important position, and jump out of the pit of the T-shaped camp directly.

Because of this, Xue Long was particularly angry at Yue Shifeng and others for shouting that they wanted to go back to rescue people. Now he just wanted to wait for the reinforcements from Yishan City to come and hand the people over to their parents intact.

But now, after listening to what Zhai Ling said, Xue Long realized that he had completely misunderstood - the most important of these people was Su Daoshan! Whether this young man lived or died, the results were two different things for Yishan City and for people like him!

He was thankful that Zhai Ling rescued the people, but he didn't know that all this was thanks to this young man.

This kid is not only the direct descendant of the Su family, but also a direct disciple of Hangu, and has such a talent for spiritual roots. Moreover, he saved Yue Shifeng, Lin Xuan and others today... If he is alive, everyone will be happy. If he dies, the pressure will come from the Yishan City's aristocratic families, sects, and Hangu, and the military will have to give an explanation to them. People like them are the best people to take the blame.

Moreover, such a talented young man is extremely valuable to the human race who are now facing the resurgence of the You Clan. In the past few years, everyone has fought in the south and the north. In addition to the desire to make achievements, don’t they want to create a future for this race and their children and grandchildren to live in the sun? !
It was so a hundred years ago, and it will be so a hundred years later. This belief has never wavered since the day we joined the army!

And at the age of seventeen, he has unfathomable spiritual roots!

What is that concept? !

When he grows up in the future, he may become another grandmaster above the third rank!
For humans fighting against the You Clan, this kind of person is like a golden beam bridging the sea and a jade pillar supporting the sky. Not to mention adding Zhai Ling and himself, even if another battalion is added, it would be worth it.

And if you just watch it happen, even if you can get away with it now, if it is uncovered in the future, I'm afraid your spine will be broken!
Thinking of this, Xue Long became even more anxious than Zhai Ling: "Then why don't we just..."

"We're just going to die if we go in," Zhai Ling said with a wry smile, "If it really helps in the slightest, do you think I can still stand here?"

He looked at the dust storm in the distance. "Since this young man could see through the dust storm and brought the people out to us, he must have thought it through very clearly and was much more confident than us. If we rush in rashly, we will not only fail to help him, but may even become a burden to him. Besides, as the battalion commander, I am still responsible for these people. The base camp also needs to keep someone here to contact and inquire..."

He stared into the distance: "Wait a little longer!"

******
Yue Zhen followed Su Daoshan quietly.

The two of them staggered half their bodies, walking in the wind and sand, maintaining a tacit and silent atmosphere.

As they got farther and farther away from the abandoned earth city, there were fewer and fewer crazy puppets. Occasionally, one or two would bump into them and be quickly dealt with by the two of them. But the dust storm did not weaken at all. Often, a fierce whirlwind would sweep across, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.

After being blown around by another gust of wind, Yue Zhen reached out and grabbed Su Daoshan's arm, leaned over, lowered her head and hid behind him, feeling that she could not open her eyes.

But after the gust of wind passed, she did not let go of his hand. She just buried her head in Su Daoshan's arm and followed him closely. Su Daoshan glanced at her and said nothing.

"Thank you." Yue Zhen said softly.

"What are you thanking me for?" Su Daoshan asked.

"In fact, you could have just left me alone," Yue Zhen whispered, "I also thought you wouldn't come back. But I didn't expect..."

Just when Yue Zhen raised her long eyelashes and looked at Su Daoshan with a delicate gaze, she was interrupted by Su Daoshan.

"That's about it!" Su Daoshan paused and said with a half-smile, "If you continue to act, I will really leave you here."

Su Daoshan had learned so many tricks of these tea girls from watching movies and TV shows in his previous life that he was naturally very familiar with them. They were cunning and realistic. They were best at using their tone, expression, eyes and body posture to show their admiration, worship, gratitude and even submission without leaving any trace.

Once you start to let your mind wander, it means that you have basically been captured by these seemingly weak prey. You will be used by her without realizing it and willingly until she achieves her goal.

If it was just a general target, the tea girl was actually okay. The most troublesome thing was when she was in danger and had a serious lack of security.

In this situation, she would wrap herself around the person she could rely on like a vine, and then naturally release all her skills to deepen the bond between them. All of this came from her instinct, and as long as she was not out of danger, she would not stop this trick.

Just like Yue Zhen now.

Su Daoshan knew very well that whether she hugged his arms, used body language to show her trust and dependence on him, or said these words in a weak tone, there was only one reason - that is, she heard the voice and knew where he had been and what he had done.

More importantly, she knew that she knew that she knew.

Therefore, regardless of whether she trusts herself or not, or whether she is really worried that she will be abandoned or even killed, it is her innate instinct to direct everything in a direction that is beneficial to her.

It's just that her life has been too smooth over the past decade, so these instincts have been hidden deep in her body and she has no way to use them. Occasionally, she unconsciously uses them a little bit, which is enough to make a bunch of young boys lose their minds and obey her.

And since he revealed the deepest secret in his heart just now, Su Daoshan could fully feel that the dark talent of the daughter of the Yue family had been completely awakened.

Su Daoshan even suspected that after experiencing so many extreme changes and being in danger, if he made some excessive demands, this rebellious, black-bellied and somewhat bitchy daughter of the Yue family would probably give in to him tactfully.

However, no one knows what this woman will do afterwards.

Being exposed by Su Daoshan, Yue Zhenchu's eyes looked a little dull for a moment, and then she lowered her head in shame and annoyance to avoid his gaze. At this time, she heard Su Daoshan's voice.

"Don't think too much. Sometimes if you just appear a little dumber, a little stupider, and keep your mouth shut, you'll have less trouble."

"Got it." Yue Zhen snorted, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

After walking several dozen meters, the sandstorm suddenly became stronger. This time, even the two of them could not stand steadily despite leaning on each other.

More importantly, Su Daoshan discovered that the green light in the dust storm had also changed. If the previous green light was projected from the green light column that shot straight into the sky in the center of the abandoned earthen city in the distance, and was relatively evenly diffused into the dust storm, then at this moment, the green light seemed to come alive.

They gathered together and twisted into various strange shapes. Many of them looked like the aurora at the North Pole of the Earth. Some were like strands of silk or like curved ribbons, hanging in the air.

This is……

Before Su Daoshan and Yue Zhen could react, the next second, a sound like thunder exploded only a hundred meters away from them.
