Chapter 417 The number of people declining

Ling Cong scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal."

"I just have to go on a mission that is not very dangerous recently. I just thought that Wan Bai is pretty good now, so I wanted to take her with me to increase my experience and gain more practical experience."

"However, since Wan Bai is not here, forget it this time and come see her next time when you have the chance."

"Well, goodbye Aunt Bai." Ling Cong didn't plan to stay long, after all, he would have to leave for the mission soon.

Bai Yuan: "Hey, okay, goodbye."

…

"Huh? Brother, didn't you say you would call Wan Bai?" Ling Xuanwei asked with some confusion when she saw that Ling Cong came back alone, "They didn't agree?"

"No, Wan Bai is not in the base." Ling Cong replied, "I don't know what she went out to do? Even Aunt Bai doesn't know."

"..." Ling Xuanwei examined Ling Cong's expression.

Ling Cong: "?"

"Brother, to be honest, do you have a crush on her?" Ling Xuanwei guessed.

"!" Ling Cong stared at Ling Xuanwei with his eyes widened and said, "Hey, Xiaowei, you can't spread rumors."

"I'm just caring about an outstanding young talent," Ling Cong added, "The Wanbai family's strength is now a level four superpower, and it's only one superpower level difference from yours."

"Besides, there are only a handful of people with psychic powers in the entire base. She will be the mainstay of the base in the future."

"Really?" Ling Xuanwei confirmed.

"No." Ling Cong nodded seriously.

"Okay." Ling Xuanwei gave up asking, "Hurry up and pack your things. We'll be ready to leave in a moment. Dad is looking for you to tell you something. You will lead the team this time."

When it came to the mission, Ling Cong complained speechlessly: "By the way, several people are missing from Minglei Base. Can't they solve it on their own? Why do they need our help?"

This time, Minglei Base issued a request for help from the other three bases. However, under normal circumstances, Shuguang could not spare any extra manpower, so Cangqiong and Longwei Bases basically took action.

"I don't know, but after all, it was the head of Minglei North District who informed me personally. At least I have to give him face," Ling Xuanwei guessed.

However, combined with the memories of the previous life, Ling Xuanwei always felt that things were not that simple this time.

"Moreover, not only because of the disappearance, we also have to escort the supplies there."

Minglei Base is rich in mineral resources, but because the winter is too cold, food has to be purchased from other bases every winter.

Ling Cong nodded: "That's true."

…

The conference room in the east area of ​​Cangqing Base.

"For this mission, the base has been assigned to our Eastern District, and the mission is not very dangerous." Cheng Jun said, "The first fifty who have joined the team for special training will also go with us. It is considered an experience."

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Jun once again mentioned a few things to pay attention to, and then asked everyone to leave.

Everyone had almost left, but Han Qichuan still stayed in the conference room, looking at Cheng Jun with some displeasure.

"What else do you have to do?" Cheng Jun looked at Han Qichuan with some confusion.

Han Qichuan asked: "How long will this operation last?"

Cheng Jun replied: "A conservative estimate is about seven days. Of course, the specific situation will depend on the efficiency of your actions."

Han Qichuan frowned slightly after hearing this: "I refuse to participate in this operation."

Cheng Junyi raised his eyebrows: "Reason?"

Han Qichuan was silent for a long time and said a few words: "I don't want to go."

"..." Cheng Jun was speechless for a while and dismissed directly, "No, this is not a question of whether you want to go or not. For this mission, General Yu Ning asked you to participate in the execution of this mission."

After Han Qichuan heard this, he just stared at Cheng Jun silently for a few seconds, as if he understood that no matter what, there was no way to quit this mission, so he turned and left without saying anything more.

Cheng Jun looked at Han Qichuan's back and sighed: "This guy..."

"Why can't you think about it?"

"This kind of task that can earn you work points and is not very dangerous may not be possible even if others are trying to get it."

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Ning wanted to promote Han Qichuan this time and personally named Han Qichuan and others, he might not be able to go.

Therefore, Cheng Jun really couldn't understand Han Qichuan's thoughts.

Just when he gave up on figuring out the reason, Cheng Jun suddenly had an idea and remembered that Han Qichuan had asked about the duration of a mission before.

"Isn't it because after he went there, he couldn't go back to the Lost Forest at night and couldn't see Boss Yun?"

There was a trace of speechlessness in Cheng Jun's surprised tone. Thinking carefully, this was really something Han Qichuan could do.

…

Xia Lan is a fourth-level wood-type psychic. Even though she was chased by those mutants before, she didn't have much physical strength left.

However, as a veteran figure who contributed to the establishment of the Minglei base in the early days, it is not something that a small number of low-level zombies can do in this state of repairing while walking.

It was impossible for them not to encounter a single zombie along the way, but the number was not large and the level was not high enough. Xia Lan was able to move around with ease while protecting the district chief.

When Yun You caught up with them, Xia Lan happened to pierce a vine directly through the head of a zombie not far away, rolled up the crystal core and retracted it cleanly.

End the battle in the shortest time with the least amount of physical energy.

After the two parties met, they went straight to Yunyou's branch without making too many stops.

At the same time, Yun You did not forget to continue to inquire for detailed information on the way. Saving these two people was considered to have intervened in this matter. She wanted to know the whole incident.

Because Han Bin once said in Tianmu that although Boss Yun has a mysterious origin and unknown purpose, he can be partially trusted.

Xia Lan briefly analyzed the pros and cons, and then informed Yun You of more detailed information. The district chief on the side also supplemented the information, and the full picture of the entire incident emerged.

The number of residents in the slums of Minglei Base is always erratic, but overall it is showing a downward trend.

This is not a strange phenomenon. In the apocalyptic era, people in slums will inevitably be eliminated. Coupled with the high latitude of the Minglei base, this number will increase by leaps and bounds in winter.

However, in recent months, there have been reports of monsters stalking people in the slums.

At first, Han Bin thought it was a rumor. It wasn't until he had someone check the number of people in the area again that he discovered the problem.

The number of disappeared people has doubled, and among these disappeared people, the majority are teenagers over ten years old and adults under forty years old.

Tianmu began to investigate this matter.

Preliminary findings indicate that the management personnel of the North District of Minglei Base have changed in recent months.
