"Aaaaaah!"
The woman screamed herself hoarse, her hands straining to support the big-character poster.
The bright red character for "injustice" danced in front of a group of cameras.
There was no flash.
There was no shutter sound.
The reporters were bewildered and silent, and they all lowered their cameras.
As the woman and the big-character poster approached, the reporters began to back away.
The further the woman moved forward, the further the reporters retreated.
The woman's eyes shifted from doubt to grief and indignation.
She grabbed a reporter's coat, wanting to ask him why.
But she couldn't speak, only making hoarse "ee-ee-ah-ah" sounds.
Wang Yaren frowned, her face looking very unpleasant.
Li Jinzhu lowered his head awkwardly, waved to his security guards, and they pulled the woman away.
The mute girl screamed, and she was very strong.
It took three or four security guards to subdue her, dragging her disheveled hair away from the square.
"unlucky."
Wang Yaren shook her head, turned around, and strode away.
Li Jinzhu quickly followed, bowing his head and apologizing with a forced smile.
Wei Ning observed from a distance and casually threw a [Beeping] device at the two of them.
The panel immediately displayed the private conversation:
[Li Jinzhu: Hehe, Brother Yaren, you've misunderstood. How could this be something I arranged?]
[Li Jinzhu: We have indeed lost quite a few employees recently in our efforts to find special copies.]
[Wang Yaren: Alright, it doesn't matter how many of these contract workers die. Just make sure the Demon King's Decree is delivered, and I'll pass on your request to the teacher.]
[Li Jinzhu: That's good, that's good! Haha, I'm relieved to hear you say that, brother. I'll add another scout team right away.]
……
Besides her conversation with Wang Yaren, Li Jinzhu was also having a private chat with another person at the same time:
[Li Jinzhu: Get rid of the family members and make a clean mess of things.]
[Li Jinzhu: Keep a close eye on the other families who received compensation; deal with them all once the heat dies down.]
Ma Xiao: Yes, Mr. Li, don't worry.
……
Wei Ning glanced at the large map and saw the silhouettes of two men in another black sedan behind the security guard's car.
【Lv.29 Ma Xiao - Shadow Assassin】
【Lv.29 Ma Yang - Shadow Assassin】
Wei Ning switched the eavesdropping device to Ma Xiao and quickly overheard their conversation.
They were discussing how to kill each other to cover their tracks.
After listening for a while, Wei Ning casually marked the mute girl in the car in front with a "Weakness Curse".
Then he left the center of the square and went to report to his work area.
The entrance to the Lv.29 fog zone was right in front of him, and Wei Ning could almost see himself breaking through to Lv.30.
"Safety officer, come and sign here!"
Below the rotating fog at fog gate number 1, two veteran employees waved to Wei Ning.
Wei Ning signed his name, Wang Teng, on the board handed to him and received the safety patrol route map.
"Alright, third batch, prepare to enter."
Below the fog gate, two people holding light sticks directed the shift change team into the fog area.
Combat teams, garrison teams, scout teams, reserve teams, logistics teams, deliverymen...
The team of eighty people was fully equipped.
Searchlights swept across people's shoulders.
Wei Ning looked at the backs of the heads of the people in front of him; everyone's helmets and shoulder armor were in good condition.
A series of halos lit up above everyone's heads, in blue, red, and orange.
This is the support staff of each team applying buffs to the team.
Starting at level 29, the entrance to the fog zone will be periodically attacked by monsters.
To ensure safety, the changing teams will maintain a fighting stance.
Wei Ning followed at the end of the reserve team, and he also pretended to touch the staff, wiping the skull orb on the staff with his cloak.
【Lv.25 Red Magic Wand - Rare】.
This is a good find that Wei Ning opened from the bag of kill spoils.
"handsome guy."
"Are you the safety officer?"
Behind him, a girl patted Wei Ning on the shoulder.
Wei Ning turned around and saw a short girl who only reached his chest.
The girl was wearing a robe, glasses, and a toad-shaped wizard hat on her head.
Due to the height difference, Wei Ning's first glance when he turned around was actually meeting the gaze of the toad on his hat, and it wasn't until his second glance that he saw the girl below.
【Lv.29 Wu Qiqi - Archmage】
"You're so handsome, why did you become a safety officer?"
Wu Qiqi smiled and winked.
"How about becoming my boyfriend? I'll send you living expenses every week."
"That's the daily wage."
Wu Qiqi held up three fingers.
"Um, no need."
It seems that a Level 29 Awakened One already has a pretty good income.
Do you still have spare money to support your boyfriend?
Wei Ning then realized that he was the only outsourced employee in the team.
In this highly valued Lv.29 area, all the order runners are full-time employees.
"Don't look so pale."
"If you really have to take the blame, it means that someone else on our team has gotten into trouble."
Wu Qiqi patted Wei Ning's lower back.
Wow, your muscles are really well-developed.
Wei Ning was speechless. He looked at the other person for a few seconds.
"Look what that is."
Wei Ning pointed to the searchlight ahead.
"What?"
Wu Qiqi raised her hat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wei Ning raised his hand and slapped the other man in the lower back.
It slapped against Wu Qiqi's close-fitting robe with a loud crack.
She screamed as she was hit.
"Wow, you're such a pervert."
Wu Qiqi rubbed her bottom.
At this moment, the gatekeeper below the entrance started shaking his light stick.
The light stick changed from red to green.
They shouted, "Enter! Enter!"
As the procession moved forward, a light rain began to fall.
Dark clouds, lightning, searchlights.
Under the night sky, Wei Ning walked into the entrance of the foggy area.
Fog obscured the field of vision.
Just as he was about to enter the fog zone, Wei Ning felt something grabbing his belt.
He turned around and saw Wu Qiqi's small hand, like an octopus's claw, tugging at his belt.
At this moment, Wu Qiqi frowned and closed her eyes, relying entirely on her senses to follow the group forward.
Only when the fog dissipated and the scenery changed did Wu Qiqi open her eyes and regain her smiling face.
"Wow, what a handsome guy I saw as soon as I opened my eyes."
"I wish it could be like this every morning when I open my eyes..."
Wu Qiqi started swooning over a guy again.
Wei Ning ignored her; he had seen plenty of these kinds of harassment scenarios involving female bosses working overtime in his past life.
"Camp is safe. 31 minutes until the next battle!"
As soon as we entered the fog zone, shouts came from above.
A three-story watchtower, with two sentries and an awakened hunter on duty.
The terrain of this foggy area is a desert cave.
The underground space is spacious, like a huge stadium.
Underfoot was sand and mud bricks, and the walls of the cave were made of boulders and remnant pillars.
There is some kind of luminous substance at the top of the cave, like a moving sun, constantly shifting.
This causes the light and shadow at the entrance to constantly change.
The shadows on everyone's faces were swirling.
"New group, hurry to camp and prepare to regroup!"
Another watchtower, and people are shouting from its top.
A string of blue, floating magic orbs, like streetlights, guided the team's route.
There were several magical campfires and large tents ahead of the route, and some people were building a wall.
"Oh, a new safety officer? You don't need to change shifts, the previous safety officer is gone."
The area at the camp's main entrance, where there's a gap in the wall.
A burly man in plate armor jumped down from the wall and gave Wei Ning a board.
The top is the safety officer's work board, which contains many safety entries.
Each item has a checkmark and a note.
There are two types of handwriting: the beginning is neat, and the end is messy.
It seems the one with neat handwriting is dead.
"That's right, I'm just filling in temporarily."
"It's up to you now."
"Just don't die, haha."
The burly man in plate armor dropped his plate and followed the main force into the camp.
Wei Ning didn't check anything at all, and just randomly checked all the items on the whiteboard.
Everything is normal after writing it.
Then he bypassed the camp walls and began to figure out a route to break through the dungeon.
Back when they were traveling by plane, Wei Ning had already made preliminary plans for the view from a distance of thousands of miles away.
The dungeon entrance he was going to was called [Lv.29 Battle of the Queen], which was an anthill-shaped entrance located in the northwest area of the entire fog zone.
To get there, Wei Ning had to cross most of the foggy area.
The fog map is a desert cave, with caves connected by countless tunnels.
Wei Ning will have to pass through about 40 giant caves and 12 smaller caves.
Based on the size of the entrance tunnel, it would take at least a whole day.
This is still under the condition of using the mount [Winged Dark Spirit].
If using camp mounts, it will take at least three days.
One map refresh cycle isn't even enough time for him to make a round trip.
Is there a faster way?
Wei Ning was in a hurry.
He needs to break through to Lv.30 before Wang Shengren is resurrected, so that he can create more trouble for Qingyuan Company.
So he only has one day.
You must reach the dungeon and clear it within one day.
How can this be done?
Wei Ning stared at the map view of [A Thousand Miles Away] and pondered.
As he looked around, he noticed that the silhouettes of people in the entrance camp had decreased significantly.
It wasn't his imagination; the silhouette was still shrinking.
Meanwhile, in a small cave to the north, the silhouettes of people continued to grow.
The increase and decrease in personnel numbers before and after are perfectly matched.
Is this teleportation?
Wei Ning stared at the area where the figure had disappeared.
In the center of the camp's inner plaza, there is a familiar name.
【Lv.29 Wu Qiqi - Grand Mage】.
