The subsequent application naturally received full approval.
After the application to use the River Diagram and Luo Book was approved, Gong Qian entered Hu Weijie's name, gender, and ID number into the interface, and then she clicked search.
Far away in Yanjing, at Qilin Headquarters, a nine-meter-long, five-meter-high turtle shell slowly emitted a white jade-like glow under the efforts of numerous Qi Refiners. The map on the turtle shell immediately showed countless light spots, each representing a city.
A white-bearded old Daoist quickly took out a yellow talisman, wrote Hu Weijie's birth characters on it, then waved his hand, and the talisman immediately flew into the turtle shell, automatically burning inside.
On the turtle's back, a red light spot slowly appeared not far from the light spot representing Silver City, and the light spot quickly turned into a light pillar.
The recorder immediately converted the light spot's position into coordinates, entered them into the electronic map, and finally clicked send.
Silver City Office.
Yu Xian and the others waited for about half an hour, then Gong Qian immediately stood up and said, "Found him! Hu Weijie is at Starbird Airport outside Silver City."
In fact, Silver City used to be larger and more expansive than it is now, with subways connecting to several cities like Rong City, and even an airport further out. However, ever since the forbidden fruit appeared, these facilities gradually fell into disuse.
Although Yu Xian and the others had never left Silver City when they were ordinary people, history class had ancient maps, so they generally knew the location of this airport.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Zhang Shou stood up and said.
Yu Xian, who was playing with two Space Bubbles in his hand as if polishing walnuts, spoke up, "There's a teleportation point I placed not far from Starbird Airport. We can teleport directly there."
"Wait, I'll go to the equipment room to get some weapons and ammunition," Qing Niao quickly said.
Zhang Shou also reacted, stating that he also needed to apply for weapons. He was even weaker than Qing Niao, and without weapons, he would be purely a healer, with negligible destructive power.
"Then let's go together. We'll leave after we get our weapons."
Yu Xian got up from his chair. He had never been to the equipment room before, so it was a good chance to see it.
Finally, the four went to the equipment room together. The staff member in charge of equipment management saw the four approaching and immediately opened the warehouse door, allowing everyone to enter and choose, though they needed to sign and register afterward.
In fact, the equipment rooms of every city's office stored a large amount of firearms, but these firearms were not for dealing with humans. Many guns had astonishing recoil; an ordinary person firing one shot would break a bone or even be severely injured by the recoil.
Of course, the attack power of these weapons was also much stronger than that of ordinary firearms.
Yu Xian had little interest in firearms. He took ten standard super-alloy steel knives, then requested over five hundred bombs, including flashbangs, stun grenades, incendiary bombs, and fragmentation grenades.
Finally, he also took over fifty super-alloy shields.
Although none of them were top-tier equipment, if used unexpectedly, they might bring surprising results.
After signing and registering, he put all the equipment into his storage ring, then sat aside to wait for Zhang Shou and the others to choose their equipment.
When everyone had prepared their firearms and ammunition, Yu Xian walked out of the equipment room. He pointed his hand forward, and a small bubble fixed itself in mid-air. Then he input energy to enlarge the bubble and walked into it.
The next second, he appeared on the top of a mountain.
From the mountaintop, looking out to the right, one could still see the ruins of Starbird Airport.
"Xian Yu, your ability is so convenient, I'm so envious!" Zhang Shou emerged from the bubble, looked around at the surroundings, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Qing Niao and Gong Qian came out of the Space Bubble. Qing Niao praised, "Our current team might be the strongest team ever, and also the most functionally complete team."
If they needed teleportation, Yu Xian had it. If they needed a doctor, Zhang Shou could bring people back to life in minutes. For reconnaissance, she was there. And finally, there was Gong Qian, the First attacker who could even beat Dragon-level powerhouses.
She couldn't imagine what kind of monster could pose a threat to them.
"Actually, if the captain were here, the functionality would be even more complete," Gong Qian added.
Her strength was great, but she wasn't without weaknesses. For example, against monsters like ghosts and evil spirits that weren't very susceptible to physical attacks, she didn't have very good methods.
If Jin Sheng were present, with the burst of his lion's prestige, such monsters would instantly turn to ash.
"Deputy Captain, shall we start the mission now?" Qing Niao looked at Gong Qian and asked with a smile.
Gong Qian nodded, "Let's begin. Qing Niao, go to Starbird Airport to scout and find Hu Weijie's hiding place. Be careful not to alert him.
Xian Yu, fly high and create a few teleportation points. If necessary, teleport me into the air to directly strike the ground of Starbird Airport. Death Doctor, be prepared. If Qing Niao and I get injured or poisoned, immediately cooperate with Xian Yu to remotely detoxify me."
"Then I'll go First!"
As soon as Gong Qian finished speaking, Qing Niao immediately transformed into a bird and flew towards Starbird Airport.
Yu Xian nodded to Gong Qian, then created a bubble and entered it, also flying towards Starbird Airport. However, he and Qing Niao were flying in opposite directions, one high and one low.
When the bubble ascended to the clouds, Yu Xian sat inside the bubble and looked down, then, like playing Go, he launched one Space Bubble after another towards the ground. Centered around Starbird Airport, the bubbles quickly spread out like stars, supporting each other.
Then he closed his eyes and listened carefully for sounds coming from Qing Niao's side.
He hadn't yet found a way to 'see' the scene outside the bubble, but he thought of a method: using the principle of sonar to determine the situation outside the bubble through sound.
Although it wasn't very accurate yet, it was at least a little better than knowing nothing at all.
Starbird Airport, when viewed from above, resembled a Y and an H put together. Because no one had maintained it for seven or eight hundred years, the entire airport was overgrown with weeds, and a tree had even grown from inside the airport, forming a huge canopy.
Qing Niao flew to a branch and stopped, finding the airport eerily quiet.
Past experience immediately made her realize that something was wrong with this place; a terrifying danger was likely lurking.
"There isn't a single animal. It's too abnormal."
Qing Niao slightly spread her wings and quickly landed on a damaged part of the airport's roof. Through the broken glass window, she could see the situation inside the airport.
It was already past four in the afternoon, and the sky was still bright, but the airport glass was too dirty to let much light through, so the interior of the airport was rather dim. Faintly visible were many animal skeletons and some broken syringes.
Qing Niao jumped into the airport through the broken window, landing on a sign vaguely marked 'Luggage Packing'. She looked around, finding no living creatures, but the smell inside the entire airport made her very uncomfortable.
It stank too much.
And this stench was mixed with the strong urine smell typical of canines.
There were many cages on the ground, but these cages had all been violently torn open. Besides the mountain of skeletons, many canine bones were scattered on the surrounding ground. Qing Niao estimated these bones belonged to either dogs or foxes.
Suddenly, Qing Niao's body stiffened, and a chill slowly crept up her spine to her head. She dared not move at all. In her perception, a pair of huge eyes were staring at her tiny self from behind, she didn't know when they had appeared.
Her pupils trembled continuously. In the blurry reflection of the gray glass nearby, a fox about ten meters tall with many tails growing from its back was vaguely visible.
Nine-tailed Fox?
Hu Weijie?
Qing Niao's eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
The problem was, although Hu Weijie possessed the Nine-tailed Fox bloodline, he was not a demon at all, so how could he have turned into a monster?
At this moment, the monster behind Qing Niao stared intently at her and asked, word by word, "Tell me... am I... an immortal... or... a god?"
Its voice had the power to shake the soul. Qing Niao's body instantly stiffened, unable to move, her mouth trembling as it slowly opened.
Seeking a title?
How could it be seeking a title?
Hu Weijie was a human himself, not a real fox, so why would he need to seek a title?
However, Qing Niao was currently unable to control her body. She knew very well that if she answered, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
