Interstellar commander, professional garbage picker

Chapter 269 Swamp
"It's because something happened to Xu Wei's grandfather, and I really can't leave here. Mother is worried, so let her go and have a look. She should be back in ten days and half a month." Yu Xuan could only half-truth Explain falsely.

"Really?" Xu Chengyu really didn't believe it, "Then why don't you just use this reason to ask for leave?"

Yu Xuan didn't panic either: "I lied to you to do something, it's not convenient to talk about her grandfather's affairs, as long as I can ask for leave."

Hearing this explanation, Xu Chengyu understood a little bit.

In the end, it was Xu Wei's family matter, and Xu Chengyu, an outsider, couldn't interfere too much, so he complained about him a few more words, and then hung up the communication.

Yu Xuan's words to him also came in one ear and out the other, but the expression on his face was still a bit speechless.

"Who is it?" Jin Zhiyu leaned over curiously and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a domestic wild cat." Yu Xuan turned off the optical brain smoothly.

Jin Zhiyu: "?"

Domesticated?wildcat?

And how can cats send messages... Jin Zhiyu immediately heard who he was connoting, but after thinking about it in his head, he couldn't think of anyone who matched this description.

But Yuxuan had gone far away and didn't intend to speak again, Jin Zhiyu didn't think too much, and hurried to catch up.

On the other side, Xu Wei has also arrived at the location of Desert Star.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" Nan Qu looked at all kinds of people around him, and couldn't help but hug Xu Wei a little tighter.

As a well-informed guard, Nanqu certainly knew that this was the Desert Star's Mercenary Association.

Although it is an association, the governance of Desert Star has always been poor. Many mercenary groups have no official certification, and they almost do things when they have money, which is the legendary black group.

Xu Wei felt that it didn't matter. She walked to the counter where the task was issued, filled out the order form with optical brain scanning, and then retreated to the side to wait.

Nanqu opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to ask more questions, so he had to wait with the others.

"drop."

In less than half an hour, Xu Wei's order was accepted.

[Your commission has been accepted by Crane, and will arrive at the assembly address in ten minutes, please note]

Xu Wei raised her eyebrows, but she didn't mean it.

In less than ten minutes, a black shadow appeared in the Mercenary Association. He looked down at the mission information, then turned and walked towards Xu Wei.

It's just that the more he looked at Xu Wei, the more familiar it became. When he got closer, he could see it more clearly, and he couldn't help being surprised: "It's you!"

"Long time no see," Xu Wei waved her hand with a smile, "Chi Ye!"

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Chi Ye didn't hide that much. He reached out and tore off the black mask on his face, revealing that handsome face.

"Why did you come to Desert Star? And how do you know that I must be the one to accept this commission?" He asked puzzled.

"There must be something to do when you come to Desert Star. I will tell you on the way later, as to why you are sure you will accept it, because I entrusted the task and deliberately screened the mental power to be above 2S!" Xu Wei counted with her fingers, "Help The corps should be around A-level, after all, S-level people are either rich or expensive, it is impossible to come to the mercenary group, let alone 2S-level mental power."

"Besides, my price is very high. With your temperament, you will definitely accept it, right?" Xu Wei tilted her head.

Thinking of the price of 500,000, Chi Ye fell silent for a while.

"But I won't let you take advantage of it. The difficulty of this operation is here. You have to use money to do things!" Seeing the hesitation on his face, Xu Wei said bluntly.

Compared to the elite group Yuxuan and the others gave, Xu Wei of course still trusts Chi Ye more.
Moreover, Chi Ye takes money to do business, can call, and is a local, so he will know more information.

"Okay." Hearing what Xu Wei said, Chi Ye could only nod.

"But I see that your commission is to go to the barren water area to save people?" Chi Ye asked a little puzzled, "The environment in the barren water area is notoriously harsh, even the locals of Desert Star dare not go there. While walking, who are you going to save?"

"Save my grandfather, the caravan he led disappeared in that area." Xu Wei didn't hide it from him.

Chi Ye was startled at first, and after realizing it, he asked again: "How much supplies did you bring?"

Xu Wei showed him the list of supplies, but Chi Ye shook his head: "No, these are not enough."

So Chi Ye took them to the place where supplies were replenished, put away the full storage rings, and the group embarked on the road of saving lives.

The wind and sand in the desert star seem to be blown all year round. When the wind is strong, the mech is difficult to drive, and everyone can only walk. Xu Wei's face is covered with a tight veil, showing her eyes to see the road.

"Speaking of which," Xu Wei asked, stepping on the footsteps of Chi Ye in front, "What happened to Desert Star, so serious that it needs to be sealed?"

"Oh, this, the star master and marshal of Desert Star were killed at the same time, and they were just investigating the suspects." Chi Ye said indifferently.

After all, the affairs of those big people can't affect the small people like them no matter what.

Xu Wei: "Oh..." Although Chi Ye said it easily, it still sounds serious.

Hope people are okay.

They traveled all night, and after encountering several star beast attacks, they finally arrived near the barren water area three days later.

Tuantuan glanced around, compared to where the caravan disappeared on the map, he still had to move on.

But in fact, it's okay, because the environment here is harsh, even the star beasts don't bother to come, it's a good thing.

"Cough," Xu Wei felt her voice was a little hoarse, and took a sip from the water bag, "It's nearby, let's search separately."

Others: "Yes!"

But looking around, apart from the black mud swamp, there is only an endless yellow desert.

They searched nearby, while Xu Wei jumped out of the mech and squatted in front of the black swamp to observe.

I heard from Chi Ye that this is the characteristic of the barren waters. I don't know how many bones are buried below, but Xu Wei still thinks it's strange that this thing appears in the desert.

After looking at it for a long time but not seeing why, Xu Wei closed her eyes and began to scan with mental power, but she found the problem after scanning—the bottom of the swamp is actually hollow!
Looking down, it is an underground cave!
"Xu Wei, what did you find?" Seeing Xu Wei squatting here, Chi Ye came over and asked.

Xu Wei told him what she found, but when Xu Wei said she wanted to go down, Chi Ye frowned: "How do you want to go down?"

Xu Wei thought for a while: "Mecha." It shouldn't matter if it just sinks like this.

Chi Ye retorted unceremoniously: "You said it's still so deep, there is no air in it, are you sure you won't be suffocated?"

"This is the fastest way!" Xu Wei also insisted.

Chi Ye was a little helpless: "You don't even know if people are down there... OK, let them go down to find out first."
