Atlas of Heaven and Man

An hour later, everyone returned to the open space inside the garrison and reported the situation to Chen Chuan, but everything was normal, and basically nothing was discovered.

Chen Chuan had a guess in his mind at this time, but he couldn't be sure, but the preparations that should be made still had to be made, but it was already late today, so there was no need to worry too much, just get through the first night first, and then wait for tomorrow when there is plenty of time during the day to talk about other things.

In order to avoid the danger of personnel being scattered, this time they did not let the team members live in the soldiers' dormitory, but directly concentrated the people in the briefing hall of the fortress.

When it was about to get dark, he let out the ten combat creatures he carried with him. These were all combat flying insects produced locally in Da Shun. Although they were inferior to the same generation of products from Compound Eye Company in all aspects, they were sufficient as sentries for guard duty.

And when there are field organisms present, they can also establish field connections and determine their status.

After everyone entered the briefing hall, he took another look outside, and then slowly closed the door.

When the sky outside darkened, the lights in the hall lit up. In order to avoid unexpected situations, when they closed the underground basement, they moved a small generator out and transferred the circuit to it, while sealing off the underground power generation room.

Although the cold wind was blowing outside and the sky was pitch black, with so many people gathered together, and with the generator running, the briefing hall was actually much warmer.

Thanks to the fact that all kinds of supplies were complete in this garrison, including the food in the officers' cafeteria, Chen Chuan simply had people take out these items and let all the soldiers have a hot meal.

And everyone was given sugar sticks and hot drinks that only officers and combatants were allowed to be given, instead of letting them gnaw on nutrient paste there.

After everyone ate this hot meal, and with the supply of sugar sticks, the morale rose visibly. Every team member held a hot drink, draped in a thick blanket, with smiles on their faces.

Although the members of this team did not go out with Chen Chuan last time, they still received commendations and bonuses. They knew that the people they were following were reliable, so even though they knew that this mission was very tricky, they were still very motivated and had no complaints.

After relaxing, one of the team members opened his mouth and said, "Captain, can you talk about your affairs?"

"Yes, Captain, can you talk about your affairs?"

Most of the team members were very curious about this captain. He was already an executive captain at such a young age. They really wanted to know about this captain's affairs, so that they could have something to talk about with other teams in the future, right?

A team leader immediately reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about? The captain is a combatant, and his resume and identity are confidential. How can we let you gossip? What if there's a leak?"

"But it's boring to be so stuffy, and we're not allowed to play cards, so we always have to say something, right?"

A usually very active team member suddenly joked, "If you ask me, this place is perfect for telling ghost stories." He looked playfully at a large team member, "I'm just afraid of scaring Da Kui into wetting his pants. Let's make it clear, if you really wet yourself, go wash it in the next room, no one will accompany you."

"Who, who would wet their pants?"

The burly team member's face turned red, and he looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Captain, don't listen to their nonsense, those are all baseless things!"

"Okay, then we'll start telling stories."

One of the team members chimed in, "I'm in favor."

The other team members also joined in the commotion.

Yuan Qiuyuan found it interesting to watch from the side. To be honest, this atmosphere and this location were simply perfect for telling ghost stories.

He looked at Chen Chuan, who was currently flipping through the information of the garrison personnel here, especially the information of those combatants. Seeing Yuan Qiuyuan looking over, he nodded to him.

Seeing that Chen Chuan did not object, Yuan Qiuyuan coughed, "Since everyone is happy, then I'll warm up the atmosphere and tell one first."

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, and there was only darkness outside the window, with only the light source shining where the people were sitting in the hall.

Yuan Qiuyuan then said, "It's like this... When I was young, my friend liked to go to a nearby temple to play. The statue of the god was very special. It was a goddess, and the statue was very beautiful in color. Everyone has a heart for beauty, and this statue was especially attractive to my friend.

One day, my friend was playing hide-and-seek with someone, and he hid under the offering table, but no one came to find him for a long time, so he fell asleep..."

The surrounding team members listened intently, and no one made a sound at this time.

"When my friend woke up, he found that it was already night. Only the candles on the offering table were still lit in the temple. The first thing he thought of at that time was whether his family had left him any food, so he hurriedly crawled out."

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and he saw the clothes on the statue actually flutter, and he realized that the clothes were not sculpted in clay, but were actually worn. He was very curious, so he walked up to it, just as he… … ”

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Just at that moment, there was a sound of banging on the door outside.

Everyone looked in surprise and dissatisfaction towards the door of the hall. Who was outside and hadn't come in? Wasn't this ruining the atmosphere?

But then they thought, that's not right, no one had gone out just now.

The people present couldn't help but feel their hearts jump. Everyone was here, and no one was seen outside just now, so who was knocking on the door?

They couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan glanced outside and said to Yuan Qiuyuan, "Executive Yuan, please continue your story."

Yuan Qiuyuan rolled his eyes, sighed, and complained, "Captain, I was building up the atmosphere, but this interruption has completely ruined the feeling. Let's talk about it next time, next time…"

His words immediately made many people feel dissatisfied. What do you mean, telling half a story and leaving the other half? Aren't you afraid of being hung from a lamppost?

But to be honest, his interruption diluted the originally uneasy atmosphere a bit, and everyone didn't feel as nervous as before.

At this time, the squad leader stood up and said, "If Executive Yuan doesn't want to tell it, then I'll tell one."

He then told a story about a water ghost from his hometown. It wasn't very outstanding, very clichéd, but at least it started things off, so they switched to another person, and the atmosphere was quickly stirred up.

The banging on the door outside disappeared at some point, but after a long time, another sound came, the neat footsteps of soldiers, patrolling, and the sounds of reporting.

And when a soldier's name was called, someone would respond. These were all the original garrison troops in the fortress, but after calling out more than a hundred people, they didn't stop, but continued to call out names.

“Yin Dakui!”

“Here!”

The big guy named "Dakui" subconsciously responded, and then his face turned pale. "I, I…"

The latest and most complete novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba, first published!

Not only him, but all the team members present were called by name, and although no one responded again, they felt uneasy and restless.

Chen Chuan said calmly at this time: "Don't think too much, just tell your stories." He then said to Qin Qingque, "Executive Qin, please sit over by the door."

“Yes, Captain!”

Qin Qingque got up without hesitation and sat down in the position closest to the door. From here, she could hear the movements outside most clearly, but there was no trace of panic on her face, and she also took out a file and quietly flipped through it.

Seeing Chen Chuan and Qin Qingque's calm performance, the other team members were also infected. Their emotions gradually stabilized, and they came up one after another to tell stories, and they all spoke very loudly, and no matter how good or bad the stories were, they would inevitably be greeted with enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The applause and cheers were very loud, covering up the sounds outside, and from some point on, all those sounds disappeared.

After the second half of the night, every team member had taken a turn, and they consciously went into their sleeping bags to rest.

Chen Chuan sat there all the time, flipping through the information in his hand by the light.

The night passed just like that.

When the team members woke up, they found that it was already dawn outside.

“Captain!”

“Captain!”

“Captain!”

The team members came out of their sleeping bags one by one, straightening their chests and saluting him.

Chen Chuan stood up from his seat, returned a salute to them, and then walked to the gate in full view of everyone.

He reached out and opened the safety catch, turned the lock, and pushed the door open. A ray of bright sunlight shone in, and a gust of cold wind quickly poured into the hall.

The snow outside had stopped, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Chen Chuan's eyes fell, and he saw a row of footprints of unknown creatures under the door, about half a meter in diameter.

This footprint should have been deeply embedded in the snow, but it seemed that the owner of the footprint had left for some time, so it was covered a lot, and it could be seen extending to the gate.

Yuan Qiuyuan walked over. When he saw the footprints, he couldn't help but squat down to take a look, and then looked up and said, "Captain, this is…"

Chen Chuan remained noncommittal, looked outside, and said, "Tell everyone to clear the snow outside. We have a lot to do today."

“Yes!”

As their personnel arrived outside, those responsible for guarding biological combat weapons also jumped back one by one. The number was the same as yesterday, and none were lost. It seemed that there were no problems yesterday, but the footprint in front of the door seemed to indicate that things were not that simple.

Chen Chuan gave Yuan and Qin a word of caution, then went back to the chief officer's office alone. From the window here, he could just see the door of the briefing hall outside.

At this time, he put down the information in his hand, looked down, and said, "This angle is perfect for observing below, don't you think? Garrison Commander Fei?"

After he said this, after a while, a voice came from behind: "How did you know it was me?"
