"So, the Calamity Beast ' previous attacks were all about wanting to fight, but not daring to go all out, for fear of us collapsing the Erosion Zone?" Wang Yuanshan said with a smile.
"Especially after the second time, when we released nuclear weapons, which affected the space in the Erosion Zone," Zhou Zhenguo added.
"Hehe, I was wondering why the attacks from the Calamity Beast felt so strange, like they wanted to fight but were too afraid to," Wang Yuanshan chuckled.
"Alright, even if the Calamity Beast don't dare to attack us indiscriminately, the pressure on us is still very heavy. After all, we still don't know what the Calamity Beast are doing elsewhere!" Zhang Weijun said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanshan also stopped smiling.
"Alright, based on this intelligence, we need to discuss the main mission of the exploration team." Zhang Weijun looked at everyone with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenguo and Wang Yuanshan nodded seriously.
As Shen Heng looked at the group and pondered whether he should leave, he noticed Zhang Weijun looking at him.
"Regarding your subsequent tasks, we originally wanted you to continue exploring other areas and try to find out the situation of the entire Erosion Zone as soon as possible."
"But now, things have taken an unexpected turn, especially with what you just said about that crystal, therefore..."
Beside him, Li Daoyi squinted as he looked at the data on the map.
He didn't participate in the discussion, firstly because he didn't like getting involved in such matters, and secondly because he had to guard the base and couldn't go out.
At that moment, he was gazing thoughtfully at a red dot on the map.
The data next to that red dot is the one furthest from the base and has the most labeled information.
There was one Late Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, twelve Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, and over a thousand other low-tier Calamity Beast.
" Fifth Tier Calamity Beast guarding a place like this?"
Li Daoyi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the data, then turned his gaze to the two places where the number of Calamity Beast was also marked as over a thousand.
One place costs 1,800, another over 3,000.
In terms of numbers, both of these places should be guarded by Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, and possibly even more.
"I originally thought that the reason I didn't see any Fifth Tier Calamity Beast during the beast tide attack was because the Sixth Tier Calamity Beast were worried that he would intervene, making the deaths of the Fifth Tier Calamity Beast pointless."
"It now seems more likely that the Fifth Tier Calamity Beast are scattered throughout the Erosion Zone, guarding various locations..."
Several days later, Wang Hu once again headed towards the training room.
Before even reaching the training room, he paused, his gaze fixed on the doorway.
There, a figure carrying a thick-backed sword stood quietly.
Wang Hu walked over with a smile on his lips.
"What? Didn't I remember you preferred the training room on the east side?"
"I heard you were back, so I came to see you," Liang Yanhao said, his expression unchanged.
Wang Hu was a relatively well-known figure within the base. At first, no one paid attention to his disappearance, but after a few days, when he still hadn't been seen, people started asking his teammates.
Then, thanks to the gossip of a few loudmouths, almost all the inspectors in the base knew that a few people had been the first to go out and carry out the mission.
"I don't remember us being that close, so are you looking for a fight because you haven't found an opponent lately?" Wang Hu grinned.
"No, you're overthinking it. I'm not that interested in this." Liang Yanhao paused, his gaze sweeping over Wang Hu from head to toe, before finally saying:
"I wanted to ask, is it dangerous deep within the Erosion Zone?"
"Oh? You're afraid of this too?" Wang Hu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is to be fully prepared, after all, everyone only has one life!" Liang Yanhao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's smile faded, and he nodded slightly.
He paused for a moment, his mind flashing back to the experiences of the past few days, and then said in a deep voice:
"It can be very dangerous, or it can be very safe."
Liang Yanhao frowned slightly as he looked at Wang Hu.
What kind of answer is this?
"... In short, you all did a great job on this mission. The rewards will be credited to your respective accounts later. Take a good rest these next couple of days!"
Inside the command center, Zhang Weijun looked at Shen Heng and gave him instructions.
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"In that case, I'll be leaving now!"
Zhang Weijun nodded slightly.
After saying goodbye to Li Daoyi, Shen Heng turned and left.
He didn't go anywhere else; he headed straight for his dormitory with a clear goal in mind.
After so many days of running around, whether or not I get a rest is another matter, but I definitely need to go back and take a good look after myself.
Although they haven't lacked water these days thanks to Zhou Xuan, it's still not as convenient as being at the base.
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused slightly, his gaze fixed on the figure with red hair tied in a bun in front of him.
The other person also seemed slightly surprised.
"Long time no see!" Shen Heng walked over and greeted him.
Gu Lingxuan nodded slightly. "Have you completed your mission?"
"Yes, I just got back," Shen Heng said.
"Was it successful?"
The two exchanged brief pleasantries.
Immediately, Gu Lingxuan asked:
"By the way, do you have any suggestions regarding going out to explore?"
Shen Heng looked at Gu Lingxuan with slight surprise upon hearing this, "Are you also interested in going out?"
Gu Lingxuan paused for a moment, then said, "My teammate wants to go, so let's go!"
Shen Heng nodded slightly, as if in a daze. He pondered for a moment and said:
"So how's your team formation going?"
"It's not fully assembled yet. Besides me and my original teammates, there's only Qi Yue and Cao Mingyu left," Gu Lingxuan replied.
Were Cao Mingyu and the others pulled away by Gu Lingxuan?... Shen Heng looked up at Gu Lingxuan.
He had originally thought that he could just invite them to join the team later.
After all, the two of them, one with Physical Fitness Enhancement and the other with Metal Weaving, could be considered supplements to the team he and Han Ling formed. Unexpectedly, Gu Lingxuan pulled them away first.
Hmm... no, that's not right.
Shen Heng looked up at Gu Lingxuan.
Given Gu Lingxuan's situation, it's very likely that Qi Yue and his group went to find her.
Well, since Cao Mingyu and the others have already teamed up with Gu Lingxuan, Shen Heng gave up the idea of going to find them later.
He hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Your original teammate's ability was ranged attack, right?"
" Sand and Gravel Manipulation, medium to long range," Gu Lingxuan corrected.
"In that case, let's find another reconnaissance-type character. Exploration is different from other things; it's not entirely about combat," Shen Heng said.
Gu Lingxuan nodded slightly and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
There's one in Cloud Ridge...
A moment later, watching Gu Lingxuan leave, Shen Heng let out a soft sigh.
He turned his head slightly and looked towards the city wall in the distance.
Want to team up...?
