C288 You Are about to Leave
Liu Tie and the others chatted for more than half an hour before Que De slowly came over. Before he even entered the door, he shouted outside the tent, "Fu Pingtao, you've cheated me to death!"
As soon as Que De entered the tent, everyone smelled a strange scent, but it wasn't as pungent as the smell of garlic.
"What kind of tricks are you using? Use vinegar to wash yourself. Look at me washing this. Smell it, this guy smells like garlic!"
"What is garlic?" Everyone gave a curious look.
Que De was jumping with anger, "Is this the main point? Isn't the main point about the smell on my body?"
"Alright, Fatty." Shen Lang said, "At least it smells a lot better than the garlic before."
"Que De, I have flower dew on my bed. How about you spray it a little?" Tu Dou said.
"That's it, I just happened to save the mosquito's scent." Que De sat on Shen Lang's bed and said, "Let's go over to say what we wanted to say. Oh right, let's talk about that bastard Feng Lee!"
"What I'm going to say next is all my deductions, just for reference." Shen Lang said, "Let's take a look at a few clues, the first is conscription. I have also asked around, in the past recruitment, the number of people in the Mountain County was as high as two hundred, and the threshold was extremely high, so this year it suddenly increased to six hundred. As for the requirements for recruitment, as you have all seen, even None Source like me can enter. This year, we built this kind of temporary training camp near the mountain, the training intensity has increased by several times, and in addition to training, we also have to move the goods, there are no signs on those wooden boxes or barrels, they are obviously just concealing something inside, not letting us know what's inside. Recently, another elite class had been assigned. Previously, Que De and I met a steel beetle the size of a small mountain in the mines outside of Falling Cloud Town. You should all know that the Iron Beetle is a fierce beast that lives in the depths of the underground cave. The larger its body is, the deeper it goes. Basically, it will not come up to the surface once in its entire life. "
When the Iron Beetles were mentioned, Shen Lang did as he had discussed with Duan Qing before. He didn't mention that the Iron Beetle had died.
Shen Lang continued, "When the iron beetles came to the surface, the Earth Bear that should have been living deep underground also came outside to eat. We are in the training camp, so we often hear the roars of all kinds of beasts deep in the mountains at night. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but many of these sounds and the normal wild beasts we know of simply don't match at all. It's very possible that it was made by some unusual wild beast. The abnormal behavior of the berserk beasts and the training camp set up a place in the forest. Batches of unmarked goods, unconventional training, and the formation of the elite class, all of these meant that there was something deep within this mountain. And the reason we were recruited was to get rid of that thing. "In addition to the Earth Bear attack tonight, the mission was arranged for us. It should be in these two days.
Shen Lang naturally knew that all of this was related to the rioting interspatial beast in the space tunnel. The interspatial beast scuttled in all directions, chasing out all the hidden killers. However, Shen Lang didn't plan to tell these things to others for the time being. If he talked too much about it, it would only arouse suspicion.
"But, what does all this have to do with Feng Lee?" Que De asked, "Could it be that Feng Lee became a berserk beast?"
Shen Lang directly ignored Que De's strange brain circuit and said, "The possibility is very high, so we have to make preparations in advance. When we enter the mountains, we don't want to get separated, otherwise, it will be very dangerous."
"You mean we're just cannon fodder." Que De interrupted.
"More or less." Shen Lang nodded, paused for a moment, and then looked at Que De, "In the mountains, it's very likely that we'll meet Feng Lee. By then, no one will be watching, you can do whatever you want to him."
"Are you for real? What is he doing in the mountains? Besides, how did you know he was in the mountains? Is he trying to find dangerous places when he's full?" Que De asked.
"Think about what Instructor Dong Qian told us?" Shen Lang said.
"You said I had such a strong smell of garlic. You told me to stand far away … it's not like you're trying to pick a fight with me. You're scolding me without exposing anything!" Que De was unhappy.
"Instructor Dong Qian said that when Feng Lee left, he stole some firearms and ammunition, as well as a can for the army." Fu Pingtao reminded him.
"Anyway, if I were to leave, I would also take some with me. Take some … wait, can I?" Que De was stunned.
Fu Pingtao's hint was very clear. If Feng Lee just ran away to leave, it would be fine to steal the firearms and ammunition, but there was no use for the canned food. Only in the depths of the mountains did he need this type of food.
"You finally reacted." Shen Lang was speechless.
"Of course." Que De slapped his thigh, "The military can is not available on the market, so it will definitely be expensive to sell!"
Shen Lang had the urge to give Que De a good beating.
"Attention all members of the training camp, an accident occurred in the middle of the night, so we'll rest for half a day tomorrow morning."
The training camp's loudspeaker suddenly sounded.
After the Earth Bear's uproar in the middle of the night, the training camp was a mess. Several tens of recruits had also died, so letting all the recruits rest for half a day was within reason.
However, the loudspeaker had just finished its short sentence, and there was nothing more to say.
"Tomorrow afternoon, we may enter the mountain." Shen Lang said, "Everyone, go back and prepare. When you're done, try to sleep as much as you can to conserve energy."
"How can you be so sure?" Que De asked, "Don't keep me guessing. I can't react in time."1
"The loudspeaker said it would let us rest for half a day, but it didn't say anything about cleaning the camp." Dong Ping said, "This kind of manual labor can't let the instructor do it by himself, so let's just leave it to ourselves. So no one will clean the camp. In other words, the camp no longer needed cleaning because it no longer needed to exist. "Since that's the case, we won't stay here any longer. We might go on a mission soon."
Dong Ping tried his best to explain in more detail so that Que De wouldn't understand.
"There's still so much information." Que De nodded as if he thought of something.
"Xiao Yan, if possible, it's best if we let your cousin join us. Now that Feng Lee has slipped away, it's a good opportunity." Shen Lang said to Xiao Yan.
"Alright, I'll go find him tomorrow. This brat's Source Power Level is still passable. I hope that his ability to listen that day will not disappoint you. " Xiao Yan said.
