Didn't the weather bureau say the fog would dissipate in half a day?
It's getting dark, and the fog still hasn't lifted.
Teacher Wang's right eyelid kept twitching, and she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
The command center was set up at the foot of the mountain, where fog had already spread.
According to the meteorological bureau, the fog was caused by the collision of air currents, so it's not a big problem.
The assistant rushed over, covered in sweat.
Something's happened.
Teacher Wang frowned. "What's going on?"
The assistant took a deep breath. "We've lost contact with the training team."
Teacher Wang suddenly stood up. "What?!"
The assistant nodded. "You've asked us to contact the teaching assistant every hour."
"Ten minutes ago, all the teaching assistants went missing."
"Whether it's cell phones or radio, Cold Mountain seems to have blocked all signals."
Teacher Wang looked outside and said in a deep voice, "It's this fog."
The appearance of the dense fog was really strange.
With all the teams now out of contact, he couldn't help but think of this possibility.
The training camp is over.
"Level A alert. Security team, proceed up the mountain immediately."
"Bring all the students down here."
Those participating in the training camp were all seed teams from major martial arts schools, the pride of the Human Race.
He couldn't bear the responsibility if they all perished in the mountains.
The assistant quickly asked, "If we redeploy security personnel, what will happen to the outer defenses?"
"If a strange beast were to run down the mountain, the trouble would be even greater."
They had no idea what the situation was like up on the mountain.
As a precaution, a strong and experienced search team needs to be dispatched, but the outer security cannot be compromised.
"Have the Law Enforcement Department send a team over."
The assistant nodded in agreement.
That's the only way.
Less than half an hour later, the bald judge arrived at the scene with a team of Law Enforcement officers.
" Teacher Wang, what exactly happened?"
"All the training teams on the mountain have lost contact. I need you to find them and bring them all safely down the mountain."
The judge gave a solemn salute. "Rest assured, I will bring the students back safely."
Teacher Wang noticed the thirty Law Enforcement officers behind him and asked in confusion, "Why do they all look so unfamiliar?"
The judge smiled. "He's a new hire this year."
"Although they are newcomers, they are all top-notch."
"I've been overwhelmed with the Ghost Type issue lately, and I simply can't spare many people."
Teacher Wang nodded. "I understand."
Judge: "Thank you for your understanding. Let's set off now."
The outer security personnel opened the roadblocks, and a large group of people entered the mountain.
After everyone disappeared into the thick fog, Teacher Wang said to his assistant, "Try to find me ten people, level two or above."
The assistant hesitated for a moment. "You're not at ease?"
Teacher Wang said calmly, "He's being a bit too enthusiastic."
That's it?
Looking at the parts scattered all over the ground, Qin Ze snorted coldly.
These robots can be considered the prototypes of humanoid combat weapons.
Their combat strength is so weak, it's not even as good as one of the Valkyrie ' legs.
"That judge at the school just secretly left that night."
"I don't know where he found these people to impersonate Law Enforcement officers; they've already gone into the mountains."
Suddenly, a message came from Thousand Faces on the Local Area Network.
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "As expected, the Law Enforcement Department knows some inside information."
"Are you the only ones who know how to call in reinforcements?"
" The Dharma King and Brother Devour, go up the mountain now."
Upon receiving Qin Ze's instructions, the two immediately set off.
At the same time, the key vibrated.
Qin Ze opened the chat group and saw that the Taoist was looking for him.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: @Beast Tamer, can you contact Qin Ze now?]
[ Beast Tamer: What's wrong?]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I just got news from the president of the Green Group that the Shi'an Research Institute in Black Mountain is located on the top of Cold Mountain. They are conducting a secret project there, and Qin Ze is currently undergoing training there.]
[ Beast Tamer: It's just a training camp, we're not going to cause trouble for the research institute.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Is it possible that the research institute is causing them trouble?]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I'm at the foot of Cold Mountain now. All the training teams have lost contact. A Law Enforcement team just went in to look for them. If I'm not mistaken, it's the research institute's doing.]
[ Beast Tamer: Wait a minute, let me ask him. We have a special way of communicating.]
Qin Ze was quite surprised.
The research institute is located on the mountaintop.
Those missing students were also taken away by them.
Qin Ze suddenly thought of the volunteers in Project Zero.
The project has most likely reached a critical stage where it needs "high-quality volunteers," which is why they took the risk and set their sights on the students in the training camp.
"The secret of Project Zero is right before our eyes."
Qin Ze replied in the chat group shortly after.
[ Beast Tamer: Some of his classmates were taken away by the research institute, and he's on his way to rescue them.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Is he really that brave?]
[ Beast Tamer: He's always been this brave]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I'm heading up the mountain right now. I'm quite curious about that Project Zero.]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Brother Dao, remember to tell us about it when you get back]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Stinky Taoist, send me the coordinates, this Fairy is off right now]
[ Passerby A: Brother Dao was the first person in the group to meet the Fairy in person]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: It's such a shame that our Dew Duo wasn't there for this event!]
[ Beast Tamer: I'm entrusting Qin Ze to you two]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: okk~]
After leaving the chat group, Qin Ze stretched. It was getting more and more lively.
Before it got completely dark, Qin Ze quickened his pace.
However, as he walked, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"We're back to square one."
An hour later, Qin Ze stood once again at the spot where he had just fought with the weapons.
"This fog... seems to be able to confuse the senses."
Qin Ze made marks along the way as he walked.
Before long, he was back to square one.
Qin Ze frowned.
Since walking won't work, let's fly.
Qin Ze pushed off the ground with both feet and rose into the air.
He performed the Vermilion Bird Step in mid-air and stood on the air.
Qin Ze stood on the thick fog, with most of the Cold Mountain spread out before him.
"It really is artificial fog."
The thick fog only enveloped the area below the mountain peak, leaving the small patch of white at the summit completely unaffected.
Qin Ze soared upwards, trying to find the source of the fog.
A moment later, Qin Ze crossed the fog and stepped onto the snow.
The air was unusually cold, as if summer had suddenly turned into autumn.
Not far away, thick white fog was surging downwards along a ravine.
Qin Ze walked up the ravine, and gradually a sound like a blower came from the top of the mountain.
After emerging from the icy forest, Qin Ze was stunned by the sight before him.
A strange beast, over twenty meters long, was lying prone on the mountaintop.
It has a long nose like an anteater and a black mane all over its body.
Its limbs were short and thick, and its originally sharp claws were all broken off.
That long nose was currently puffing out clouds of smoke towards the ravine.
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had seen this strange beast in his textbook.
A strange beast that should have died.
S-class alien beast, Smoke Ghost.
