The Target Appeared
September 7th, White Dew.
There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Unfortunately, no one has the leisure and refined taste for "a reunion of family and friends, sharing the beauty of the moon across a thousand miles" anymore.
Luo Yan didn't have it either.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten a mooncake.
now.
He drove his modified campervan along the bumpy road towards Guangling City.
The mech has been repaired and upgraded, meeting the minimum standards for 'God Guardian'.
It has already been delivered to Guangling by a special team.
He did not return with the team.
As the Red Demon, he drove a campervan and towed his small mecha back home.
Beep beep beep.
The phone rang.
It's the one used exclusively by 'black witches'.
The three characters "Yu Qiushui" were clearly displayed on the phone screen.
Before the natural disaster struck, the 'Black Witch' possessed seven satellites, ensuring global communication network coverage.
After the natural disaster, only 3 satellites remain operational.
It's hard to say whether it's global or not, but someone like Luo Yan was able to receive communications even in the wilderness.
Luo Yan, wearing a Bluetooth headset, answered the phone.
"Red Demon." Yu Qiushui's voice carried an inexplicable magnetism.
Luo Yan made a soft "hmm" sound through his nostrils.
Yu Qiushui said with a hint of languor, "I heard you left?"
"To Guangling," Luo Yan said without hiding anything.
Yu Qiushui hummed in agreement, then said, "The captain of Team 3, Liu Xiao, might be working against you. Although there's no direct evidence yet, well, just consider it a woman's intuition."
Be careful.
Luo Yan replied simply, "Okay."
Yu Qiushui chuckled twice, "Not very old, yet so sparing with words, like an old man. Not good."
Then he hung up the phone.
Luo Yan remained expressionless.
It's almost evening.
He looked around.
The ' Eye of True Suchness ' has been activated.
A humanoid gray light was spotted moving in the distance.
There are quite a few.
It should be a surface Survivor Camp or Surface Base or something like that.
Turn the steering wheel.
Luo Yan headed towards areas where human activity was taking place.
Before long, a dilapidated little town came into view.
The streets weren't very wide, there were low utility poles, grocery stores, teahouses, and factories with the word "demolish" painted on their exterior walls but which were never actually demolished. Luo Yan's modified RV drove in, attracting a lot of attention.
Finally, the car drove into an abandoned paper mill and parked in the overgrown yard.
Turn off the engine and remove the key.
Luo Yan opened the car door, jumped out, and took a breath of fresh air.
He walked to the back of the vehicle, opened the cargo door, and crawled inside.
He sat down next to the mech, placed a light machine gun at his feet, and picked up 'Black Witch's' phone.
Log in to the team leader account.
Below the name 'Red Demon', an email icon is flashing.
I opened it, and there were two emails inside.
[Long-term mission: Head to Guangling and establish a base.]
[Description: After the natural disaster, our forces suffered heavy losses, with few branches remaining. Currently, Guangling is one of the Eighteen Northern Cities. We have specially ordered the 7th team of the Xuanming Department to go to Guangling to try to establish a foothold and build a stronghold.]
The organization will provide corresponding rewards based on the size of the outpost.
[Note: The initial investment of 1 million RMB has been received.]
Another email.
[Team Mission: Recruit a main team.]
[Description: Since Zhang Ze's death, the main force of Team 7 of the Xuanming Department has been disorganized and lacks sufficient personnel to carry out branch missions. The team leader, 'Red Ghost,' has been specially ordered to recruit a main force team within three months, with an average strength of at least the Primary Level Three and a team size of at least 20 members.]
[Note: This mission cannot be refused. Failure to complete the mission by the deadline will result in mission failure and the removal of the 'Red Oni' captain qualification.]
[Note 2: The initial investment of 500,000 yuan has been received.]
"Two tasks."
Luo Yan then opened the 'Black Witch's' online store.
The products are basically divided into nine categories: 'Mechs', ' Combat Skill ', ' Mystic Art ', 'Footwork', 'Secret Techniques', ' Ultimate Skill ', 'Potions', 'Cultivation Techniques', and 'Equipment'.
The content is abundant, and the variety of goods is extensive.
Only the team leader has permission to log in and make purchases at this online store.
In 'Black Witch', team members are basically not allocated contribution points.
After each mission is completed, the contribution points earned belong to the team leader.
The team leader can redeem the necessary items in the store based on the team members' contributions and distribute them as rewards to their subordinates.
As for team leaders, and even other positions such as branch managers, authority is defined.
In this way, subordinates are controlled layer by layer.
With Luo Yan's current access level, the 'Mechs', 'Secret Techniques', and ' Ultimate Skill ' sections are locked, and each section requires 1000 contribution points to unlock.
Luo Yan can imagine.
Even after unlocking, not all items are available. Some items require higher privileges, such as ministerial level, to unlock.
By the way...
The auction house section is similar, except for an additional 'Helpers' section.
That's for people who list themselves for sale.
Close the store and put your phone away.
Luo Yan glanced out of the factory gate.
It got dark.
It was pitch black outside, and even the firelight was very faint, making them appear furtive, probably because they were afraid of attracting a giant beast.
I recalled Yu Qiushui's words.
Luo Yan put on his cloak, picked up his long sword ' Huanlong ', pulled up his hat, and walked out of the factory gate.
Is Liu Xiao, the captain of Team 3, planning something against him?
It seems that with 7 teams changing hands, everyone wants a piece of the action.
That's natural.
Luo Yan, the captain of Team 7, was recommended by Yu Qiushui. Anyone with a brain knows that Team 1 and Team 7 are now in cahoots.
Yu Qiushui is the most promising candidate to become Branch Chief in the Xuanming Department.
If someone is determined to secure the ministerial position, they will definitely have to undermine Yu Qiushui.
However, Yu Qiushui is a tough nut to crack; he's not so easy to get past.
What should we do then?
Of course, he would start by killing himself, the newly appointed captain of Team 7.
The difference lies in...
What kind of disadvantageous situation does Liu Xiao plan to create?
Is it a test?
Or perhaps they'll unleash their full strength and deliver a thunderous kill?
While lost in thought, Luo Yan had already left the factory and was walking on the dimly lit street.
He activated the ' Eye of True Suchness ' and used the threads of information he read to actively seek out his enemy!
at the same time.
He thought of the ' Primordial Stone Fragment '.
After obtaining this item, Luo Yan attempted to absorb it.
This time, however, holding the fragments did not trigger any anomalies.
If it weren't for the fact that Feng Qingyu personally handed this thing to him, and that the place where the fragment was located was teeming with life, then it would have been a different story.
Luo Yan even began to doubt whether what he had received was fake.
The ' Primordial Stone Fragment ' no longer transforms into light and merges in as it had in the past.
Luo Yan wondered if, because he had already undergone two transformations, the ' Primordial Stone Fragment ' was no longer able to stimulate his Divine Treasure to break through.
This is something Feng Qingyu probably hadn't considered either.
Who would have thought that his Divine Treasure had already undergone two transformations and breakthroughs!
When Luo Yan arrived near a drum tower.
A heartfelt message suddenly amplified.
It almost filled the entire field of vision.
The inner voice message was: Target detected!
