As soon as they returned to Scarlet Moon, they saw Scarlet Moon and the others, who were ready to go and rescue them.
Vulture, who was still cursing, screamed as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Li Xiang and Fire Phoenix riding back on the steam motorcycle. RedMoon and the others also stared at the two of them with a strange expression.
"Well … you're back?" Scarlet Moon waved the Source Gun in her hand and asked awkwardly, "Didn't you say there were over a hundred ghost soldiers?"
"Brother Li Xiang defeated all of them." Fire Phoenix chuckled. Then, she put on a serious face and said, "Aren't the ghost soldiers crossing the line this time? Is this a declaration of war, Sister Moon?"
"Well, actually, this has something to do with me." Li Xiang suddenly opened his mouth. Sister Moon and the others were still in a daze after witnessing him defeating a group of ghost soldiers all by himself. Everyone turned to look at him at the same time.
Li Xiang explained the conflict between Ghost Mackerel and Ming Xu and the possibility of his speculations.
"Ah, I see. I think so too. Gui Wuqi is back. But things are not as simple as they seem. " Scarlet Moon slapped her head. She suddenly grabbed Li Xiang's arm and dragged him into the bar. "You're here. I have something to tell you."
Li Xiang was pulled into the bar, still confused. Seeing that the two of them were safe and Scarlet Moon didn't give any further instructions, Fire Phoenix and the others dismissed the others, leaving only a few core members to guard the bar.
Bang!
The door to the secret room was slammed shut.
"Damn it. They are too arrogant!" Scarlet Moon took a sip of the herbal tea on the table and slammed the teacup on the table. She cursed, "I know that things might go south, but they attacked us so brazenly. Do they really think I don't have the guts to fight the ghost soldiers?"
Scarlet Moon punched the wall of the airship as she spoke. She didn't want to get into a conflict with the ghost soldiers because she wanted to leave the Subcontinent District as soon as possible. Those who didn't know better must have thought that she was a pushover.
"You said you had something to do?" Li Xiang looked calm. After wiping the blood off his body with a white towel, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fei Yue.
"Ah, I almost forgot." Sister Yue took the teacup and took a sip, "Gui Wuqi has returned and he has brought a huge piece of news. On our side, Yu Yi is also planning to attack together. You and Little Sister Ming Xu might have to come along as well. In any case, Yu Yi and Little Sister Ming Xu will be here in a while. Just listen to him. "
"Hmm?" Li Xiang was confused, but since ReiYue said so, he kept his mouth shut and waited for Yu Yi and Ming Xu.
After a while, the door of the secret room was slowly pushed open. Yu Yi and Ming Xu's figures came in, and then the door was closed again.
"Are you okay?" Yu Yi patted Li Xiang's shoulder and asked symbolically before sitting down. He did not seem to be worried that Li Xiang would fall at the hands of the ghost soldiers. Instead, it was Ming Xu who gave him a rare sideways glance.
"I'm fine."
"That's good." Yu Yi poured a cup of tea for himself and asked Fei Yue directly, "Are you sure it's true?"
"Yes, I have people on Gui Wuqi's side. The source of the information can't be wrong." Fei Yue nodded and said solemnly, "Anyway, if it's true, his people will be here in two days."
The two of them talked for a while, then explained to Li Xiang and Ming Xu.
It turned out that Yu Yi had come to Ghost City to deal with a mysterious ruin here. There were several large ruins in City 0126, and it was said that they were mysterious ruins left behind after the battle between the players and the Calamities. Because it was too taboo, no one lived there. The scavengers often went there to explore, and sometimes they could find some valuable items.
However, about three years ago, people began to die in the mysterious ruin, and it gradually became a place of death in the mouth of the scavengers. At first, not many people paid attention to it. After all, scavengers were a precarious group, and no one knew what they would die at the hands of.
Moreover, these scavengers were the most cunning. Most of them deliberately killed their companions and divided the loot, and then used the mysterious ruin as an excuse.
After a group of ghost soldiers died tragically, and none of the ghost soldiers who went to explore were spared, Gui Wuqi began to pay attention to it.
Where there was danger, there was treasure.
For the past three years, Gui Wuqi had devoted himself to exploring the ruins, and he did not even bother with the internal affairs of the ghost soldiers. Some time ago, he even invited the big shots of the army to explore the mysterious ruin. Yu Yi came here because of an open-ended quest. The person who issued the quest suspected that there might be a mutant here, so he came all the way from Frost to deal with it.
Coincidentally, he met Crimson Moon here, and received an invitation to the second phase of Polar night training, so he decided to stay here. After all, it was now summer internship, and he had plenty of time, so he could help this former schoolmate of his.
"Mutant?" Li Xiang looked at them in confusion.
"Ah, I forgot to explain it to you." Yu Yi suddenly lowered his voice as he held the teacup. "Mutants are also known as Seeds of Disaster. They are like unhatched eggs, and once they break out of their shells, they will become a true disaster!"
A true disaster!
Li Xiang's body involuntarily shivered, and when he mentioned this word, the air in the secret room seemed to have become colder.
Almost everyone knew about the countless years of conflict between the players and the disaster factions. However, because of the expulsion of their ancestors and the establishment of the Great Wall of Disaster, the people of the Seven Continents rarely saw a true disaster, but when this word was mentioned, they would feel a chill.
It was said that the disaster was incomparably terrifying, and the higher one's level, the more despair one would feel. Occasionally, small disasters would appear in the Seven Continents, and even terrifying waves of disasters, but for Li Xiang and the others who had never seen these before, it was still too far away.
The Katas Zhaofei Committee stipulated that knowledge about the disaster could only be understood after entering the university.
Mysterious, terrifying, bloody, cruel, countless words stacked together to form a great terror, and people could not help but explore it curiously, but they did not dare to touch it.
Almost everyone had a secretive expression when this word was mentioned.
They could actually see a true disaster here?
"Don't look like you're scared to death." Yu Yi forced a smile and waved his hand. For people like him and Crimson Moon who had seen a true disaster, that kind of terror was deeply ingrained in their minds, and they could not get rid of it. When he mentioned this, his voice became somewhat unnatural, but fear was fear, and the mission still had to be carried out.
If he could not even deal with a mutant, how could he face a true disaster in the future?
"There are ways to get rid of mutants before they become a disaster, but once they become a disaster, let alone a few cities here, the entire 0126 City will be finished!" Sister Moon said solemnly. She came from the Moon Family, and to a certain extent, her understanding of the disaster was deeper than Yu Yi's. However, her strength was far inferior to Yu Yi's, and she had never faced a disaster directly. "At the same time, mutants are also very precious resources. Every superpower has an organization that specializes in researching mutants, and they will buy the remains of mutants at a high price. Thus, when faced with a mutant that is not as aggressive as a disaster and is extremely valuable, almost everyone with the ability will want a piece of the pie. "
"At the moment, we don't know if there really is a mutant, and we don't know what kind it is, but if the information is correct, Gui Wuqi will definitely come looking for us in the next two days. This is a big deal, enough to make Ghost Soldiers and Crimson Moon a stronger force. He can't handle it alone, even if he brings those people with him. He will definitely ask for our help, "Yu Yi analyzed." And if we want to eat as much as possible, we have to notify as few people as possible. "
Wealth came from danger.
For most non-player university students, to move forward step by step, they had to experience all kinds of dangers, and earn resources on the edge of life and death. Yu Yi had long been accustomed to this.
"Generally speaking, ordinary mutants can be dealt with by more than three Magic Apprentices. I am still a Level-1 Magician, so dealing with a mutant shouldn't be a problem with multiple layers of insurance. However, the second phase of the training for the two of you is to have at least one magic circuit materialize this month. After that, I will arrange a test, and after you pass, you will know the content of the final test, which does not include such dangerous missions. "
Yu Yi paused, then said to them, "It's fine if you don't go. If you go, you may die, or you may get a piece of the pie. You choose."
"I'll go!" The two of them answered in unison. After that, they looked at each other and saw the same belief in each other's eyes.
This was a rare opportunity to train, and it might even allow them to broaden their horizons. As for the dangers, there was no such thing as safety on this path.
"Ah, it's good to be young." Crimson Moon smiled enviously and looked at Yu Yi. He had the same expression. "When we first faced the mutants, we were also this hot-blooded. Unfortunately, this hot-bloodedness will eventually fade away in fear."
"Maybe." Yu Yi lowered his eyelashes. He couldn't refute, but he didn't want to admit it. Even someone like him, who had walked step by step through the Polar night, was almost too scared to move. He almost left this path forever, not to mention the others.
There was another point that they didn't mention. The graduation rate in the fourth year of university was frighteningly low. It was normal for people to leave halfway, die, and give up. Yu Yi's freshman year had nearly ten thousand classmates, and now there were less than a thousand left. They had yet to experience the most terrifying fourth year.
Since Li Xiang and Ming Xu had made up their minds, they naturally wouldn't interfere. This was because information about the disaster was required to be absolutely sealed before entering the university, so they couldn't casually reveal anything about the mutants.
They had to compromise and tell them some things to pay attention to.
"It's hard to really kill them." Li Xiang summarized Crimson Moon and Yu Yi's words. They couldn't say it clearly, but he still inferred a lot of information from between the lines. This was the most important point.
Ming Xu nodded slightly, indicating that he remembered.
Other than that, there was the preparation of weapons and equipment. This time, Crimson Moon would provide a full set of equipment. Unfortunately, it couldn't compare to Dong Ling's armory, but it was better than nothing. After discussing this, Li Xiang and Ming Xu returned to the garden bungalow to continue practicing their magic circuits.
After hearing about the mutants and the disaster, Ming Xu was in a faint excitement. If it weren't for Li Xiang and her being very close these days, he wouldn't have been able to tell.
When she was excited, she would constantly play with the Demon Wings, throw them, wipe them, and other small actions.
He couldn't ask, so he could only let her continue like this. After injecting a standard tube of Source Gas, Li Xiang gradually immersed himself in the world of magic particles. He learned a lot from the battle with the Ghost Soldiers. He should be able to complete the materialization of the four limbs' magic circuits in the near future.
