Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu didn't sleep for a day and a night. He stared at the communication bell, hoping to receive any news he might have missed.

The next morning, Secretary Wu came to see Yu Meng. "Something must have happened. What should we do? Who should we send to rescue them?"

He didn't say he wouldn't save them. There were dozens of people in total, so it was impossible not to save them!

Yu Meng was depressed. She didn't want to leave the clubhouse, and she hadn't even thought about going home yet.

Seeing Yu Meng's hesitation, Secretary Wu suggested, "Should I have the people on the battlefield look for clues first? If we have concrete information, then we can send people over?"

Secretary Wu was helpless. The Alien Battlefield wasn't just about brute force; the role of the Bone Painters couldn't be ignored. Their Bone Painters were only Nian Nian and Yu Meng. The other three only felt fear towards the Alien Battlefield; even if they went, they probably wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

It was obvious that Yu Meng wouldn't let Niannian go alone, so the only option left was for her to go herself.

"What has Niannian been doing these past few days?"

"It's said to enhance the ability to improve one's lines. She stayed inside and didn't come out, so I didn't disturb her."

"How's Liu Wei doing lately? How many people are in his team now?"

Secretary Wu laughed, "I reckon the most cunning people are with him."

Yu Meng looked up at him. "Can Liu Wei win people's hearts?"

"He doesn't need to win over the masses. As long as you sit here, he has the biggest backer. Those people have never valued Liu Wei." Secretary Wu's words hit the nail on the head.

"Alright, tell them to get ready. I'll take them into the alien battlefield." Since Yu Meng had made up her mind, there was no reason to delay. She set a departure time of two hours later.

"What about Niannian? This can't be kept from her."

"I messaged her, and she went too."

Secretary Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Niannian really wasn't allowed to go, given her personality, she would definitely go secretly by herself, and then she wouldn't be able to control her.

Clearly, Yu Meng knew Niannian's temperament and could simply take her along. Moreover, Yu Meng intended to train Niannian into a capable individual, and this was a valuable experience for her.

Those who received the news were all quite excited. They all knew Yu Meng was very strong, but no one had actually seen her in person. Although they weren't part of the regular army, their admiration for her was the same.

Two hours later, everyone was ready. Yu Meng's lines formed a mask, which she put on her face, revealing a big, smiling face. Niannian, of course, copied her, her big mouth drooping, making her look like she wasn't to be trifled with at all.

The others also concealed their true faces. I don't know what they were thinking, but they actually used the same masks. Yu Meng's lips twitched. How was she supposed to recognize people like this?

Liu Wei clearly knew about this. He held the mask in his hand and pointed to a spot. "These are numbers. They don't want to use their original names, so they'll start with four, going down from four-one, until the membership is full."

Yu Meng had no objections; as long as they were happy, that was fine.

Niannian stood next to Yu Meng, her heart pounding with excitement, but she held back. Her palms were sweaty, not from fear, but from excitement, as she gripped Yu Meng's hand.

It was already midnight when they arrived at the first battlefield. The people left behind welcomed them into the camp. He was very curious, but he didn't dare to ask too many questions. He handed over the prepared map and weapons to Liu Wei and then left.

Yu Meng did not interfere with their actions.

The people in Liu Wei's team were also puzzled. Liu Wei wouldn't assign anything; he would simply explain the task clearly. As for what they were supposed to do, they only needed to inform Liu Wei, and if there were no problems, he would take care of that. And Liu Wei, being sensible, didn't try to tell them what to do.

This was a model that even Yu Meng, let alone Niannian, had never seen before. However, Liu Wei accepted it well and cooperated very well. Yu Meng thought Liu Wei was quite talented.

The next morning, the person wearing a mask with the number 433 stood at the front of the line. Liu Wei explained that this was the person leading the way.

Niannian asked softly, "Didn't he sleep last night?"

Liu Wei paused for a moment, then explained in a low voice, "He can find the right direction based on the traces left by people."

"What a talent!" Niannian exclaimed in admiration. "Can I learn this?"

"He once shared his feelings and methods, but no one could learn from them, and in the end, nothing came of it."

"Did he really teach everyone his secret technique?"

"Yeah, he's incompetent. Who would respect him if he wanted that number?"

"What's going on? Wasn't the number just randomly chosen?"

Liu Wei shook his head. "Those who are capable can choose anything, those who aren't can choose anything. There's a star mark next to the one you choose."

Nian Nian looked at Liu Wei and asked, "So you're the team's mascot?"

"I guess so, but I have a good memory. I can recognize any alien I've seen on the battlefield, even if it's mutated."

"You have such skills? How come I didn't know?"

"I just wanted to choose my own number, and that's when I discovered this advantage."

Niannian laughed heartily from the side, "Can you discover this ability anytime? It's always been there, okay?"

Liu Wei just smiled sheepishly and didn't take Nian Nian seriously.

The group moved very fast. At first, Si San San tried to control his speed, but he soon discovered that his family's bone painter was very comfortable with this speed, so he gradually accelerated.

Yu Meng and Niannian adapted well, without the slightest sign of reluctance, which was quite absurd.

By evening, they were already standing on the grass.

"Their trail disappears here," Si San San said as he walked up to Liu Wei.

"Disappeared?" Yu Meng asked. "Out of thin air?"

"Yes, suddenly all the signs disappeared," Si San San answered confidently.

Yu Meng nodded. She glanced around; the grass was lush and green, without a trace of anyone having walked on it. Not a single blade of grass was broken.

She lifted her right foot and stomped it lightly a few times. Invisible ripples spread outwards.

Yu Meng squinted and examined the grass closely. Sure enough, several spots caught her attention.

Everyone watched Yu Meng silently, eager to know her methods. After all, they had only heard of her strength; none of them had ever witnessed it firsthand.

Yu Meng didn't look at them. She was silently calculating the distribution of these anomalies. Half an hour passed, and some people were already showing impatience, their eyes darting around, perhaps looking for allies.

Yu Meng was moved; she bent down and picked up a few pebbles.

"I will throw my stones in unusual places. Those of you who are strong can help pull up the grass in that area, but you can't touch the flowers."

Liu Wei repeated what he had said and looked at his teammates. Several people stood up.

Niannian watched them with great interest, but none of them moved while her fourth sister was speaking.

Yu Meng shook her head as she looked at the group of people who came out. "We still need three more people. We need to do the weeding at the same time."

Liu Wei looked at the group, nodded, and three more people came out.

Nian Nian gave a thumbs up, "If we're talking about who's good, it has to be you!"

Liu Wei touched his head and grinned foolishly.
