Chapter 72 Mingshan
He had seen that although Ling Xiaozhe was introverted, she was very strong-willed. However, he did not expect that Ling Xiaozhe would take the initiative to ask to go on an outing with Xingchen Security.

Meng Xingchen stood up, first used another body-tempering potion, and then called Li Kan and Wang Tong to prepare to set off.

Ye Zihong got up early and prepared breakfast for the four of them in the kitchen.

The breakfast was pretty good. After the four of them had finished eating, they took the various equipment they had prepared last night, drove two off-road vehicles, and headed to the northern suburbs first.

At Lao Fang's lathe, the ordered cold weapons had indeed been made.

The rare earth steel spear made by Meng Xingchen this time is still the same style as before, but the detachable function has been abandoned.

The long dagger, brass knuckles, and 24 throwing knives are all made of rare earth steel specially smelted by Lao Fang. In addition, a throwing knife bag is also included.

The most noteworthy equipment created this time is Li Kan’s giant mace.

The mace is 1.83 meters long and weighs 167.6 kilograms. It is shiny black and looks quite terrifying.

With a weight of more than 300 kilograms, if an ordinary person were hit by it, he would definitely be turned into a pool of meat paste.

……

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the four arrived at the special operations team's base.

"Brother Meng." Ling Xiaozhe, who was waiting at the entrance of the base, immediately came forward.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Seeing Meng Xingchen appear, the little flower snake lying on Ling Xiaozhe's shoulder immediately straightened its upper body, shaking its head and spitting out its tongue.

"Oh, you were ignoring me yesterday, but today you called Brother Meng?" Li Kan, who got out of the second SUV, said to Ling Xiaozhe with a smile.

Behind Li Kan, Ye Zihong kicked him hard, then quickly walked towards Ling Xiaozhe and said with a smile, "Xiaozhe, don't bother with this kind of person!"

Meng Xingchen also patted the little flower snake's head as it leaned forward, and smiled at Ling Xiaozhe, whose face turned slightly red after being confronted by Li Kan, and said, "Xiaozhe, it was Brother Li who just spoke, and he was joking with you. But his joke was pretty good. In the next few days, you will follow Xingchen for security training, so it's a good opportunity for him to carry your luggage and equipment for you."

"Ah... Brother Meng, I was really kidding." Li Kan said hurriedly, "I'll carry you on my back! Sister Xiaozhe, from now on, when you go on missions, Brother Li will take care of all your luggage and equipment!"

"Let's go to the restaurant first and make some food for Xiaohua."

Meng Xingchen walked towards the resident restaurant first.

Today, Ling Xiaozhe and her little flower snake joining us will definitely be a great help. Some of the original plans can be changed.

The restaurant prepared more than a hundred "snake ball meals" and the group of five left the base.

The five members of the special operations team obviously have not returned from their mission yet, and Meng Xingchen had already reported today's mission objectives when he left last night.

……

Two off-road vehicles carrying a team of five people took more than two hours to reach the foot of "Ming Mountain".

At the foot of a mountain in Mingshan, there is an "ancient village."

A dozen miles away from the ancient village, there is another "Boyungou."

In this area alone, there are three confirmed abnormal events and two suspected abnormal events.

There are already troops stationed in Mingshan now.

On the way here, Meng Xingchen had already greeted the locals.

The members of the special operations team had considerable authority, and although Meng Xingchen was only a specially hired non-staff member, he was given the rank of "First-Class Superintendent". The military also gave him the rank of "Captain".

At the agreed location, Meng Xingchen met a local garrison officer and got some latest information. The officer said that he could cooperate with Xingchen Security to conduct some search operations, but Meng Xingchen refused.

Mobilizing ordinary military and police to cooperate can only be done when there is a high degree of certainty. Ordinary people are too fragile to deal with mutant creatures, and heavy casualties can be caused if they are not careful.

On his side, when there is a harvest, the local authorities just need to send a vehicle to help with transportation.

The person in charge obviously wished this would happen. Mingshan was far away from human settlements, and there were many more abnormal and suspicious incidents here than in Lingshan. He was stationed here and was worried every day.

There were herds of blood sheep as big as buffaloes, snakes as big as six or seven meters long and as small as three or four meters long, and cats as big as tigers... This was simply not something that humans would do.

He also didn't think that this so-called "Star Security" could really deal with the various mutated creatures in Mingshan.

He had also read the information about Star Security's past. But he thought from the bottom of his heart that this was probably some second- or third-generation person who came here to gild their reputation. Even such a strong special operations team had never solved three abnormal incidents in one night. How could you, a newly established Star Security?

Who would believe that there is no shady dealings involved?

……

After entering Mingshan, Wang Tong and Li Kan carried equipment and supplies, and protected Ye Zihong, who was holding a sniper rifle and also carrying some supplies, in the middle and in front. Meng Xingchen carried a long gun and carried supplies, protecting Ling Xiaozhe in the back, and they moved forward along the rugged goat path.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the five people finally went deep into Ming Mountain and came to a rather steep mountain wall.

Following the latest information provided by the locals, they soon found the remains of a wild boar in a bush below the mountain wall.

It was just an ordinary wild boar. Most of the flesh and blood had been eaten, and the rest had begun to rot, attracting a swarm of flies buzzing around.

This was taken two days ago using a drone. The drone also captured a bloody shadow moving near the bushes.

After discovering the body, Li Kan immediately protected Ye Zihong and searched the area carefully.

In just a moment, Ye Zihong found a pool of urine with a slight blood color in the dense forest next to the bushes.

"Smell of sheep! Xingchen, this is most likely the target we are looking for." Ye Zihong whispered to Meng Xingchen who rushed over after hearing the news.

"It's a bit strange, Brother Meng... Why do sheep also eat meat?" Li Kan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but scratching his head.

"Mutated rabbits may also eat meat." Meng Xingchen said, "These are monsters. You can't look at them with normal eyes."

As he spoke, Meng Xingchen turned around and looked at the little snake in Ling Xiaozhe's hand.

After arriving here, the little flower snake also behaved very restless, spitting out its tongue from time to time, sometimes raising its head to look around, and sometimes trying to shrink into Ling Xiaozhe's arms.

Ling Xiaozhe's little flower snake was obviously also a mutant, but its evolved physique was not strong, and it did not have extreme hatred for humans. Otherwise, with Ling Xiaozhe's previous "Cat Fist" strength, it would have been impossible to subdue it.

After thinking for a while, Meng Xingchen turned to Wang Tong who was standing beside him and said, "Wang Tong, can we climb up this mountain wall?"

"Yes!" Wang Tong nodded without hesitation.

"Be careful. Look on the rock wall to see if there are any bloody hairs. We need more definite information."

Meng Xingchen gave instructions to Wang Tong.

"Yes, Brother Meng."

Wang Tong agreed and turned back to run towards the rock wall.
