"There's already a small team that found a small Magical Beast entrance and successfully destroyed it." Officer Cheng walked back from the side and said to the others with a heavy expression.
"That should be something to be happy about." Xu Dahuang immediately smiled.
"The small team was also completely annihilated. No one left alive." Officer Cheng added in a low voice.
The smile on Xu Dahuang's face immediately froze.
The others also opened their mouths, but they were no longer happy.
The Magical Beast entrance was bound to be a group of Magical Beasts. Perhaps it would be relatively easy to break in, but once they tried to destroy it, it would cause the team to be instantly surrounded by angry Magical Beasts.
In fact, when they were selecting the team members, Officer Cheng had already clearly told the team members that they most likely wouldn't return from this mission.
"Let's continue forward. We shouldn't be far from Mingwen Girls' High School." Officer Cheng said.
"Yes, after passing through this old house, there will be a student street. After passing through the student street, we will see the entrance to the girls' high school. Previously, it was reported that the girls' high school's cafeteria shook for a long time. Then, the Magical Beast entrance is very likely under their cafeteria." Xu Dahuang said.
Everyone nodded and continued forward according to Xu Dahuang's directions.
Along the way, they encountered a few troublesome Magical Beasts, but they were quickly dealt with by Officer Cheng.
Intermediate Magicians had a fatal destructive power against Servant-class Magical Beasts. They could even instantly kill them, so the speed of their advance was relatively fast.
"Save me! Save me ~ ~ ~ Save me ~ ~ ~ "
Just as they were about to move forward, a person's heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the street ahead.
Just as Xu Dahuang was about to move, Officer Cheng immediately blocked in front of him.
Xu Dahuang's face was filled with confusion. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Officer Cheng coldly said, "When we set out, I already said that our mission is to destroy the Magical Beast entrance. Even if we meet family members along the way, we will not save them. Apart from Mofan, who is here to save his family, I hope that the others can understand what they are doing!"
Everyone was silent again.
They were all Battlemages. Obeying was their duty. Therefore, no matter how miserable the cry from the street ahead was, they could only grit their teeth and stay where they were.
Mofan's heart was still a bit shocked.
But thinking about it carefully, he also understood the meaning of this seemingly inhumane decision.
If they saved one person along the way, the team would become a rescue team. With so many burdens, they could forget about breaking into the Magical Beasts' entrance.
If the Magical Beast Entrance remained open for even a minute, dozens of people would die. They had to make this choice. Even if they could save the people on the street in front of them, they couldn't do it.
After about two minutes, the screams finally stopped.
After a while, Instructor Luo Yunbo returned to the team and said to Officer Cheng, "The demons are gone. We can move forward now."
Luo Yunbo had witnessed those people being killed with his own eyes. At this moment, his complexion did not look too good. Obviously, if it was not a mission, he would definitely save them.
…
There was a wide street in front of them. There were no cars on the road, but the bloody corpses on the asphalt road were creepy, especially those who had died not long ago.
Taking a few steps forward, a fat man with a stinky body was lying on the ground.
This person did not seem to be completely dead. His eyes were open, and he was trying very hard to raise his head to look at the group.
His eyes were filled with anger and doubt.
When he was crawling over here, he could clearly see the group of Magicians through the reflection of the glass of a building.
He was screaming just now, screaming that these Magicians could save him.
However, when his legs were bitten off by the Magical Beasts, these people did not move. When his lower body was about to be swallowed, these heartless Magicians still did not move …
When these Battlemages walked past him, he used the last of his strength to grab one of them. He wanted to ask, he wanted to fiercely ask these bastard Battlemages, why did they not save him when he was dying!
Pan Lijun's footsteps paused for a moment. She glanced at this fat man who only had one last breath left. Her eyes did not have a trace of emotion.
In the next second, she took a step forward and continued to move forward.
Everyone did not look at the incomparably miserable man, and quickly moved forward.
After walking a few steps, they saw a few more corpses that were beyond recognition …
When they reached the middle of the road, the Battlemages who were being condemned in their hearts found a female corpse at the mouth of an underground well. Her neck had been bitten open by a Colossal-eyed Ape Rat.
"They probably wanted to escape through the sewers, but in the end …" Luo Yunbo said in a gloomy voice.
"The sewers are the Colossal-eyed Ape Rats' nest. They were just bringing about their own deaths," Xu Dahuang helplessly shook his head.
The place they should not have gone through was the sewers. Those Magical Beasts used the underground world of Bo City to escape to various areas.
"Let's go. If we don't destroy the Magical Beasts' entrance, more people will die," Officer Cheng said without a trace of emotion.
The others nodded their heads.
Mofan was just about to move forward when his footsteps suddenly stopped.
His gaze was tightly fixed on the wrist of the woman who had fallen beside the mouth of the well … He had never seen this woman before, but her bracelet was incomparably familiar.
This was the DIY bracelet that he had bought on Ye Xinxia's sixteenth birthday when he had accompanied her to go shopping on the student street. The bracelet was strung together with different shaped beads. Among them, there was a rather ugly black bead, which was the only one that he had successfully strung together.
The other boys and girls would each string half of the beads. However, Mo Fan, who was careless, had to spend a lot of time before he was able to string the black beads together. As a result, the beautiful DIY bracelet looked like it had been contaminated by a pile of rat feces. However, Xinxia was very happy to wear it every day.
Although this kind of bracelet could be found everywhere, the only black one that he had strung together was really too easy to recognize. This was definitely the DIY bracelet that he and Ye Xinxia had "worked together" to complete. However, why was it in the hands of this unfamiliar woman?
"Mofan, what's wrong?" Pan Lijun, who was walking in front, turned her head around and asked in confusion.
"I seem to have found a clue. This woman is wearing my sister's bracelet," Mofan took the bracelet from the woman's hand, and after looking at it for a while, he was even more certain.
"That fatty who died just now had the logo of Wal-Mart printed on his back. These people should have escaped from Wal-Mart's underground tunnels and were discovered by Colossal-eyed Ape Rats on the way here. That's why they escaped onto land," Pan Lijun said.
Mofan looked down at the mouth of the well, and sure enough, there were two more corpses down there. Moreover, from the stench of the sewers coming from these people, he could tell that they had climbed up from below …
"There should only be one Walmart in the underground level of Ming Wen Shopping Plaza nearby," Xu Dahuang was very familiar with this area and immediately said to Mofan.
The previous search was like looking for a needle in a haystack to Mofan. He never thought that the heavens would be so kind to him, allowing him to find a clue.
Although he couldn't be sure that Ye Xinxia was in that supermarket, at least he had a direction. He wouldn't have to search here like a headless fly.
"Mofan, although you have made a great contribution in protecting Geyser Spring, this doesn't mean that our team will delay the mission for you to save people. The rest is up to you," Officer Cheng said seriously to Mofan.
Mofan nodded and said, "I understand."
"Then I wish you good luck," Officer Cheng didn't say anything else and continued to lead the team forward.
