155 The Road to Other Cities
Bei Yun, who was riding the Ironback Pig King, patted its pig head. The Ironback Pig King sensibly turned around and walked towards a sentry pavilion at the entrance of the camp.
Hong Zhijie did not like to stay in the barracks.
Compared to guarding, he preferred to take the initiative to attack.
Therefore, he had always been in charge of the exploration mission.
Although the Human Alliance in Jiangzhou City had long given up on exploring, the army still organized people to take a look from afar from time to time.
Moreover, in the near future, they were prepared to open a path to Qingquan City next door before the beast tide arrived.
Therefore, he transferred Hong Zhijie over.
However, Hong Zhijie felt that this matter was debatable.
Every time they explored more than 10 to 20 kilometers away, they would encounter a large beast tide.
Not to mention going to Qingquan City nearly a hundred kilometers away.
Standing beside the sentry pavilion, Hong Zhijie looked at the overgrown wilderness in the distance and some tall buildings that could vaguely be seen and were covered in moss outside. It was unknown what he was thinking.
“Hmph ~”
Hearing the pig’s cry from behind, Hong Zhijie turned to look at Bei Yun, who was riding the big pig towards him.
“Commander, are you looking for me?”
“Yes, how’s training going?”
Bei Yun’s expression turned solemn as he said seriously,
“Reporting to the commander, no problem!”
“Now, advancing, charging, retreating, and maintaining silence can all be absolutely ordered!”
Hearing this answer, Hong Zhijie nodded in satisfaction.
“Alright, then go back and prepare. In a while, bring the Ironback Pig team and carry out a mission with me.”
When Bei Yun, who was on the pig’s back, heard this, he immediately became excited.
He was about to vomit from training every day when he came to the camp!
Finally, there was a mission to carry out.
In the end, he was still young and impatient.
Looking at the excited Bei Yun, Hong Zhijie did not say anything.
He had seen many such recruits every year.
Before encountering the beast tide, they were extremely excited.
However, on the battlefield, when facing tens of thousands of mutated beasts, their legs would still go weak.
“Commander Hong, is that the special unit you formed?”
Hearing a chuckle from the entrance of the sentry post, Hong Zhijie turned around and discovered that Wu Yan was standing at the entrance of the camp with two people.
Looking at the person who came, Hong Zhijie frowned.
“Wu Yan? What are you doing here?”
He had heard from Hong Zhijun that this guy had even caused trouble for Hall Master Lin previously.
Moreover, as the commander, Hong Zhijie also knew what plan Wu Yan, some big shots of the army, and the higher-ups of the Human Alliance were promoting.
However, because he was not from their side, Hong Zhijie did not know much.
In any case, he was quite ambitious.
“Of course I’m here to prepare for a mission!”
“This time, the higher-ups attach great importance to the mission of opening the road to Qingquan City. After all, this road has been cut off for nearly ten years.”
“This time, the higher-ups attach great importance to the mission of opening the road to Qingquan City. After all, this road has been cut off for nearly ten years.”
After receiving the document, Hong Zhijie took a look and discovered that it was indeed the army’s resignation document, so he did not say anything else.
Then, he waved his hand and opened the door of the camp.
“Come in and talk.”
“Thank you, Commander Hong.”
Seeing Wu Yan bring in the two people behind him, Hong Zhijie asked curiously,
“You only brought two people?”
Wu Yan smiled at Hong Zhijie.
“It’s enough.”
“This time, the higher-ups mean that we should send a representative first. If we can get this path through and convey the intention to reopen this route to Qingquan City, it will be considered a success.”
“The main mission is still to investigate.”
“Therefore, there’s no need to bring a large group.”
Hong Zhijie frowned.
Then, he opened the resignation document again and looked at it carefully.
Two minutes later, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Yan.
“Are you that representative?”
Wu Yan nodded.
“That’s right, so I’ll leave my safety to you this time.”
Hong Zhijie nodded and then brought Wu Yan to the simple command center of the camp.
“Sit down for a while. I’ll go get someone.”
After Hong Zhijie threw Wu Yan and the other two into the command post, he directly left. Then… he went to the slightly inconspicuous and real command post next door.
He had to find someone to think about how to lead the team.
After Wu Yan watched Hong Zhijie leave the command center, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
“Sir, if we follow them like this, will there be… danger?”
Hearing his subordinate’s worry, Wu Yan shook his head.
“Hehe, you can rest assured.”
“The Hong brothers can’t guarantee anything else, but they definitely don’t have the reason to attack us.”
“Moreover…”
Wu Yan looked at the top of the tent in a daze.
“It’s not like I didn’t have other preparations.”
Last time, after his level 5 Bone Spur Tiger that he had painstakingly obtained had been killed by Lin Ye, the higher-ups even wanted him to stop the “mental controller” project.
They were even prepared to remove Wu Yan from the position of Unit 0.
Fortunately, the big shots behind him supported him and protected him.
Although the “mental controller” project had not been completely suspended for the time being, the meaning of the higher-ups was very clear—they would speak after he started producing the results.
Moreover, some big shots of the army, such as the people behind the Hong brothers, had already placed their attention on beasts.
The only reason they didn’t make a move was because they were still watching.
