Chapter 153 Mobilization Meeting
Su Yuqing actually considered asking Feng Ling for help.
However, he and Feng Ling had only known each other for less than a month, so their friendship was not very deep.
Moreover, Feng Ling gave him the impression that he was a person with a strong sense of purpose. He might not be willing to spend time and energy looking for a missing inspector unless he could pay an attractive enough reward.
But to be honest, Su Yuqing gave Feng Ling some conveniences within the scope of his authority, and there was not much he could give in other aspects.
So after careful consideration, Su Yuqing contacted Xu Yiming, a mutual friend of his and Ye Zheng.
They have been friends for more than ten years, so Xu Yiming took the initiative to find Ye Zheng without Su Yuqing saying anything.
It just so happened that the General Administration of Supervision issued this recruitment order, so Xu Yiming found his two hunter friends and brought Su Yuqing along.
In Xu Yiming's opinion, joining forces is the best choice, which can not only improve the efficiency of operations, but also ensure the safety of the team. The prerequisite is that the other party's character and outlook on life must be in line with the team. Otherwise, even if a powerful expert joins in, it may not necessarily allow the entire team to exert its strength. That's why Xu Yiming asked Su Yuqing if Feng Ling was easy to get along with.
"Since she's easy to get along with, there's no problem." Xu Yiming put his arm around Su Yuqing's shoulders and said, "In fact, after I knew she was the top of the list last night, I had some thoughts about it, but I thought about it and realized that we have already worked together well. If a little girl suddenly came in, everyone might not be able to adapt, and the little girl might not be happy about it, so I didn't mention it. But you see, she knows more about the maze than any of us. If she enters the maze, she's more likely to be in danger. Knowing one more piece of information might save her life. No matter how you think about it, being able to cooperate with her will definitely have more benefits than disadvantages."
Su Yuqing looked in the direction of the tent and said, "I understand. I didn't mention the cooperation at the beginning because I was worried that you and your friends might have some ideas in your mind and misunderstand that I don't trust your abilities."
Xu Yiming laughed, "Thank you so much, Lao Su, for still considering our self-esteem at this time."
"Then I'll go ask her what she thinks." Su Yuqing walked out.
Just at this moment, Feng Ling came out of the tent wearing a mask——
Other people usually cover the upper part when wearing a mask, but she did the opposite. She chopped off the upper half of the skull of an unknown animal and only left the other half to wear on her face. It was like she had a pair of fangs on her face, full of an incongruous and terrifying feeling.
Xu Yiming couldn't help but ask Su Yuqing: "Are you sure she's easy to get along with?"
Why does it look so weird?
Xu Yiming was worried about encountering the kind of hunter who had killed too many alien species and became a psychopath - after all, hunters as a group are the hardest hit by mental illness.
Su Yuqing turned around and assured him: "It's really easy to get along with her. She has a simple and straightforward personality."
Xu Yiming hesitated and said, "Okay... I believe you."
I hope to find a simple and straightforward partner.
Su Yuqing left the classroom, waved to a place not far away, and walked over to chat with Feng Ling.
Xu Yiming was far away and couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw Su Yuqing say a few words, the masked young girl nodded, and then Su Yuqing came back.
"How is it?" Xu Yiming asked hurriedly, "What did she say?"
"She agreed." Su Yuqing replied, "She will join us when the operation begins."
"She agreed so quickly?" Xu Yiming was surprised. "Didn't she ask why? Didn't she mention her needs?"
"We're just acting together, there's no need to make demands." Su Yuqing smiled and looked back at Feng Ling, "For her, it doesn't matter who she teams up with." Xu Yiming frowned and looked at Feng Ling in the distance, thinking: To be ranked first on the hunter list, she must be very strong, but isn't what Old Su said a bit exaggerated? No matter how powerful she is alone, can she be better than our teamwork?
Then Xu Yiming thought again: She has two people with her, so what Lao Su meant must be that her team is very powerful.
…………
……
At noon, the train arrived on time and took the second group of hunters to Black Mountain Town.
The staff distributed lunch, which was simple compressed biscuits and mineral water, which was very consistent with the accommodation environment.
Then all the hunters were called into an empty classroom. There were no tables or chairs, and everyone had to stand.
A man in protective clothing walked into the classroom, followed by two armed soldiers.
Almost everyone here is wearing protective clothing, so it's hard to tell who is who. However, from the scene in front of me, I can tell that the person who is walking into the classroom now has an extraordinary identity.
"Thank you all for coming." The man stood in front of the blackboard and spoke. His voice was strong, steady, and resounding, and it was obvious that he was not young.
"I'm the head of the Northern Military Region, Yan Lingfeng. I'm responsible for all matters related to the spread of forest pollution in Daling. Including your operation this time!"
The hunters murmured.
Feng Ling heard them calling this man General Yan, and it seemed like he was a very important figure. She had read little military news and didn't know much about him.
General Yan said: "The Hunter Alliance plans to have the first batch of hunters, with a total of 100 people. Among them, 1 is missing, 7 are dead, and 81 people participated in this operation, accounting for 90% of the number of hunters. Each of you should be proud of your courage! No matter what the final result is, you are undoubtedly heroes!"
Feng Ling thought: Oh, is this called a mobilization meeting? We need to boost morale before taking action.
"Although the investigation of the northern maze has ended, the current situation of the contaminated area is not optimistic." General Yan continued, "You will receive a map of the maze surveyed by the research institute on your mobile phone. The maze is currently divided into three areas, A, B, and C. Your task is to go deep into these three areas and remove the remaining contaminants to the best of your ability! Reduce the pressure on the soldiers outside the fence defense line!"
Everyone's phone vibrated.
Feng Ling looked down at his phone and sure enough, he received a message, which was a floor plan map of the maze.
The map clearly marks three areas, A, B, and C, with a large blank gray area in the middle.
Without waiting for the hunters to ask, Admiral Yan explained: "The maze here was originally divided into four parts. The largest area disappeared after the maze master was killed. However, there are three areas on the corners of the maze that did not disappear with the death of the maze master. The pollutants living in them are still very active. The pollution caused by these pollutants not only mutates the creatures in the forest, but also harms the nearby residents! The current situation is urgent. I hope you can set off immediately and flatten all the pollutants as soon as possible!"
After the general finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a sharp gaze and asked, "Any questions?"
Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.
Although I signed up for the action with great enthusiasm, it feels a bit hasty to say that we should set off immediately, and I seem to be not mentally prepared yet.
Finally, a hunter came out and asked, "Admiral, are we... acting freely? Without a leader?"
