Chapter 35 A Dazed State! Two Moons! (Please read on, add to your favorites, and vote!)

Wang Hu was preoccupied with things that would refresh him, and his attention gradually became scattered.

Looking at the snowy environment for a long time made his eyes very tired.

He told his teammates to rest their eyes before turning around to look at the different scenery behind him.

Until he saw the research area where the lights were still on.

Looking at the brightly lit laboratory, with shadowy figures flickering in the glass windows, Wang Hu pursed his lips.

"The researchers are really going all out. What are they dissecting? Is it the pieces of meat left from that giant deer that was devoured by the wolves this afternoon, or the wolf pack's fur?"

"Om-!"

The sound of the paddle blades cutting through the air pierced the night sky, interrupting Wang Hu's chaotic thoughts.

A pufferfish drone carrying a scientific payload took off vertically from the center of the camp, climbed rapidly, and then flew to the outer perimeter, activating a constant speed cruise mode.

The noise brought Wang Hu back to his senses: "I wonder if we'll be able to spot the enemy!"

He turned his gaze back to the distant snowfield, lowered the muzzle of the machine gun slightly, and silently placed his finger on the trigger guard.

Bored, he suddenly wanted to speak: "Squad leader, I've been waiting forever, why haven't the enemies arrived yet?"

"Be vigilant at all times, as the enemy may appear at any moment."

"Squad leader, all I see is white, and it's making my eyes hurt again."

Listening to their teammates talking over the communicator, everyone chatted amongst themselves.

"Alright, everyone, count off and check your mental state."

"okay……"

After exchanging words on the communication channel for a few minutes, everyone's fatigue was temporarily relieved.

Looking at the wind and snow outside, Wang Hu noticed that the snow seemed to be subsiding rapidly.

Thirty minutes ago, the wind and snow were very strong, and visibility was only a little over 100 meters.

Now, with the snowstorm gone, visibility has increased dramatically...

"Squad leader, they said the enemy launched an attack in the snowstorm. Our visibility has decreased. Under these conditions, the enemy shouldn't launch an attack, right?"

A comrade inquired on the communication channel.

"It's not entirely clear yet, let's stay vigilant!"

"Squad leader, my head feels buzzing, like something is talking to me!"

"Is it due to fatigue and tension? Everyone, report your numbers. Anyone who dares to doze off later will have to prepare for tidying up their quarters and the training exercise."

The class monitor's words instantly created an awkward silence; everyone fell silent.

Wang Hu patted his head, realizing it might be mental fatigue caused by staying up late.

Just as I was slapping my forehead, a very subtle, very regular "click" sound rang out in my headphones.

one more time.

It was filled with a strange sense of rhythm.

"Squad leader, did you hear that?"

Wang Hu's tense voice rang out on the communication channel.

"I heard you, everyone be on high alert!"

"Ahem, well... class monitor, I was just trying to liven things up."

The squad leader roared, "Zhao Dezhu, stop playing pranks in your earphones! Do you want to clean the toilets? Or do you want to tidy up other dormitories?"

"Squad leader, I noticed the wind and snow outside have suddenly intensified, so I thought I'd give everyone a little surprise!"

"Hehe! After this is over, you can go for solo training."

"Squad leader, no!"

The atmosphere in the communicator froze instantly, then turned into screams of agony!
Wang Hu's awkward laughter followed.

"I thought it was the enemy, but it turned out to be a surprise from a comrade-in-arms. That old soldier is so cunning!"

"Squad leader, a field training exercise won't work. I recommend that Zhao Dezhu sing instead!"

"Yes, yes, Old Zhao sings really well."

"Come on, other people sing for money, he sings for his life!"

"Go away, go away, you're on duty. Keep a close watch on your surroundings. What's going on with this weather? It snowed for a while and then stopped?"

"Squad leader, it's good that the snow has stopped. The visibility outside is much better now. Only an idiot would launch an attack!"

"That's true."

The snowstorm stopped quickly in the early hours of the morning. With the snow gone, the soldiers could see more, and Wang Hu, who had never experienced actual combat, relaxed his tense nerves thanks to the banter between his squad leader and the veteran soldiers.

Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Was I really that nervous just now? I even had auditory hallucinations!"

He felt ashamed, then looked up to rest his eyes, which had been staring at the snow for so long.

The weather improved, allowing him to see the bright stars in the sky and the magnificent Milky Way.

Similarly, there are two satellites, one large and one small compared to Earth and the Moon.

"Huh, so this is the moon in another world... Two moons? What a beautiful sight, it's a pity I can't take pictures!"

Looking at the huge stars that were almost aligned with the moon, Wang Hu changed his posture: "Class monitor, the two moons and stars from the other world have appeared!"

"Two moons?"

"Yes, there are so many moons, and so many stars, and they're so big too!"

"Wow, it really is. That must be debris from an orbiting satellite, right?"

"We can't see it without a telescope!"

"Let's take a look with the sniper scope."

"Stop talking nonsense, you're supposed to be on duty."

"Once the weather gets better, there are no more attacks!"

Wang Hu laughed as he listened to the team bickering.

"If I could have a wedding with my girlfriend in such a beautiful world, it would be a memory I'd cherish for a lifetime, hehe..."

The weather outside the other world cleared up, revealing a starry sky.

But the atmosphere in the command center was even more somber than when the otherworldly blizzard raged.

Su Mingjin's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at the flashing red dots on the tactical map—those were the sentry positions where the unusual noise had just been reported.

"The electromagnetic interference has suddenly decreased?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Reporting to Commander Su, the electromagnetic interference has indeed suddenly decreased!"

Three hours ago, the interdimensional electromagnetic storms increased, and drones hovered over the areas where the undead had disappeared, which were also the areas with the strongest electromagnetic interference storms.

Now, the electromagnetic storm has significantly decreased. The electromagnetic fluctuations have almost completely disappeared where the undead vanished, and so have the wind and snow!

Su Mingjin tapped her index finger lightly on the table.

"After the snowstorm outside the camp stopped, the electromagnetic interference also dissipated considerably."

"Gentlemen, I recall our previous speculation that the undead were moving with the wind and snow, launching attacks. The snowstorm in this other world is intensifying, and the electromagnetic interference is also stronger. Could we infer that they have retreated?"

"Reporting to Commander Su, the intelligence is insufficient! Confirmation is still not possible!"

"Reporting to Commander Su, there are actually two moons outside, and many large stars as well."

Two moons? Big stars?

Su Mingjin walked out and looked at the strangely different alien moon in space, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"So beautiful!"

On the first night after the advance team arrived, they briefly saw the moon, but due to the wind and snow, they knew very little about the sky.

As more incidents occurred here and the weather cleared up, everyone gradually collected more clues!
"With such clear and fine weather, and electromagnetic interference greatly reduced, it's the perfect window of opportunity for reconnaissance."

Su Mingjin's spirits lifted, and she loudly ordered, "Immediately send more drones to the reconnaissance forces to conduct extreme-distance reconnaissance along the direction the wolf pack retreated and in the surrounding area! Speed ​​up the gathering of more intelligence about the other world."

"Yes!"

She yawned, checked the time, and guessed that Li Jingze would arrive soon before instructing her deputy to hand over the command.

After finishing, he said, "I'll go rest next door first. If anything comes up later, you can contact Battalion Commander Li Jingze."

She didn't sleep well yesterday. She's been busy all day and then stayed up late last night, and her body is gradually giving out.

Li Jingze came to hand over the duties just now, but she pushed him away to have breakfast.

"Okay! Director Su, get some rest."

"Okay, goodbye!"

With the weather clearing up, electromagnetic interference subsided significantly, making the sky a clear path for human reconnaissance equipment.

The drone's signal was clearer than ever before, and its flight distance exceeded yesterday's limit.

Less than twenty minutes after Su Mingjin left the command center, the drone she deployed to track the wolf pack and gather intelligence transmitted back incredible images…
