The second trip to the border was full of uncertainties from the very beginning.
After checking their weapons and equipment, Li Xiang and the others had just boarded the airship when they received a red weather warning. The fog above the Dead Sea would be spreading in the near future, and its density was also increasing.
This phenomenon was not rare, but it usually happened during the summer and autumn seasons, not during the current winter season.
At the end of December, the weather at the border area would enter a true winter, and the fog above should have dissipated to a very thin extent.
This abnormal weather gave the three of them a bad feeling. Honey had also secretly sent them a message, specifically telling them that this was not a seasonal change in the fog, but a specific change.
The fog observation had always been done by Beacon Academy. The academy had invested a lot in the astronomical observatory, so the observations were very accurate. After all, the only thing that could disperse the fog was these tall lighthouses. Once the lights were extinguished, the Dead Sea would fall into a true dead silence.
A specific change usually meant that there was a problem inside the Dead Sea.
"What problem could there be inside the Dead Sea?" Villette frowned. She did not have a good impression of this sea that was said to be hiding countless disasters. Other than the researchers of Beacon Academy, no one was willing to spend time and effort to study such a terrifying thing.
Shizuko Ise paused and asked nervously, "It can't be related to the disasters, right?"
"Honey didn't say it clearly. The observation results are probably too confidential. But after so many days, she didn't specifically send me a message many times. This means that the results must be out of her expectations and have a huge impact. " Li Xiang's eyes flickered, and he quickly guessed the other meaning behind Honey's words. "Senior Villette, do you remember when we went to the mission hall the other day, there were many missions that had a minimum requirement of a Level-3 Magician Team flashing on the oil paintings?"
Villette nodded, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.
"After that, I specifically went to the mechanical device to check those missions. Guess what I found?" Originally, Li Xiang had only done it out of his habit of being considerate. After that, he felt that it was not very useful and threw it to the back of his mind. He did not expect that it would come in handy today.
Villette rolled her eyes at him, but her focus was elsewhere. "Guess? Guess your head. Every time you use it, 10 GPA. Every time you search it, 10 GPA. You prodigal brat, you don't cherish your GPA. Give it to me. "
Ise Shizuko was stunned. This was really a prodigal. Although she and Li Xiang had obtained some contribution points from the final ranking competition, it was not enough to cover their expenses in school. This guy actually used his GPA on this kind of search!
"Those missions, without exception, were all to investigate the situation at the bottom of the Dead Sea." Li Xiang's smile disappeared as he knocked on the table. "This is just the most basic probing mission, yet it requires a team of at least Level-3 Magicians."
"So, there really might be a problem with the Death Sea." Villette was no fool. She immediately understood what was going on. Then, she felt a huge sense of fear slowly rising in her heart.
"It would be great if it were that simple. Mili mentioned before that the fog that surrounds us all year round is actually the aura of the dormant calamities. I don't think I need to explain why the fog is getting thicker. As for the specifics, we might have to wait until we reach the border to confirm it. If it's really as we think, the Dead Sea might erupt. That's both a danger and an opportunity. "
Li Xiang licked his lips. He actually looked a little excited.
Ise Shizuko and Villette were shocked. This brat's expression clearly showed that he wanted to make money from the dead and war.
Was he really fearless?
The three of them looked out of the steam engine window. The endless fog even spread to the sky above the border. It was as if a terrifying beast was hiding in it. They did not dare to look at it for too long.
The airship docked at the helipad of City 1 as usual.
The sky was gray. Even here, there was a faint white fog.
Ise Shizuko, who came to the border for the first time, had just caught her breath in front of the three statues. Li Xiang imitated Villette's tone and introduced them to her. The little girl was shocked.
White King, Polar night Magician, Night King. Ise Shizuko was especially interested in the last border guard commander. She kept asking after recovering. Unfortunately, Li Xiang did not know anything about the Great Wall of Disaster.
At the helipad, a group of fully armed border guards came up. The leader was the captain of the guards, Zhao Lingkong, and the captain of Squad 169, Lie Kong.
Seeing Li Xiang, Lie Kong laughed heartily.
Ise Shizuko looked at this hot beauty vigilantly. Just as Sharjah had predicted, Li Xiang was also flirting outside.
Zhao Lingkong's expression was calm. When he saw the big bag of vampires, his expression changed slightly.
"You're a few days faster than expected. Mother isn't back yet." Zhao Lingkong walked up to him before Lie Kong.
Although Zhao Lingkong didn't express anything, Villette and Shizuko exchanged glances with each other due to their unique senses as girls. They could see the strong desire for gossip in each other's eyes.
There must be something between this cold-looking man, Li Xiang, and this hot girl.
"Really? You should have the right to take over. Anyway, the payment is here. We're only here to deliver the goods today. " Li Xiang shrugged nonchalantly. He knew about Andrea's departure earlier than the two of them. She was urgently called away by Night Shadow. Only the master of Rose Maids could order this Brigadier General around.
Of course, he could not tell them this.
He winked at Lie Kong. Lie Kong pursed his lips and smiled, ignoring him.
She was still a little scared when she thought of the bold actions of Squad 169. However, just as Li Xiang had guessed, things were going according to his plan.
Since that was the case, everything was worth it.
Of course, risks and benefits coexisted.
"Check the goods." Zhao Lingkong waved his hand. A few border guards behind him immediately cut open the bag and checked the scattered vampires.
As soon as the origin guns were in their hands, these experienced warriors could see the clues. They did not need to check them one by one. They could tell if Li Xiang's workmanship was meticulous and if the guns were of high quality.
The expressions of the border guards gradually changed during the process of inspection. Zhao Lingkong was even more surprised when he saw this.
These were all experienced warriors from City 1. If even they were surprised by the origin guns, then they must be of high quality.
They were used to seeing cheap and trashy goods smuggled in. Now that they saw high quality goods, they were ecstatic.
"Master Zhao Lingkong, the inspection is complete. They are all high quality goods." The leading warrior smiled and said, "They are all new goods. In the past few years, this is the first batch of good goods I've seen. If I wasn't standing here, I would definitely think that these are smuggled goods from the two major heavy industries."
"Cough, cough, cough. I understand. You and your brothers can take the guns and leave." Zhao Lingkong coughed awkwardly. His subordinate's inexperienced look was too embarrassing. However, in Li Xiang's eyes, he sighed.
From the warrior's sincere smile, it could be seen that they needed high quality equipment and weapons. These warriors only wanted to survive here. If they had sufficient combat strength but their equipment could not keep up and they died in battle, even their souls would not be willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"I plan to stay here for a few days." Li Xiang did not mince his words.
Zhao Lingkong frowned. When Andrea was not here, he was the one in charge. This kind of thing was against the rules, but he had just taken their things. It was not good to turn around and chase them away. Moreover, he had the border pass that Andrea had given him.
"Li Xiang, you can stay at my house." Lie Kong immediately followed up.
These words were very ambiguous, but considering that there were still Villette and Shizuko Ise, Li Xiang could not possibly be so absurd as to have one man and three women. Thus, Zhao Lingkong immediately dismissed the strange thought that rose in his mind.
He thought for a moment and nodded silently.
Lie Kong had interacted with him before, so it was convenient for him to keep an eye on him.
Now that Andrea was not here, he definitely could not arrange for outsiders to stay in the general's residence.
