The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Wu Jianming had told Lu Yuan last time that, besides him, they were still short three team members.

If Feng Ji commits suicide, then there will be a shortage of four people.

In just two or three months, they managed to collect them all.

It's worth noting that Wu Jianming had only found nine people in nearly two years prior.

Although it was unexpected, Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it; he just needed to take care of his own affairs.

Three days later, as Wu Jianming had requested over the phone, they arrived at the clubhouse early at five in the morning.

Instead of going to the team, they went directly to the rooftop of the 72nd floor to take a helicopter.

"Um?"

Lu Yuan arrived on time and saw several people already waiting next to helicopter number 36.

"So it was you guys."

Upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Shen Qiubing, Tang Guangming, Gao Shu!

The three of them were the newly recruited members of the Star Dou Squad by Wu Jianming.

After being healed by Lu Yuan, Shen Qiubing has recovered her sixth-grade martial meridian, extraordinary battle body, and eight meridian cultivation, so it is no surprise that she was selected for the Star Dou Squad.

Tang Guangming was previously known as one of the top ten experts in the Special Operations Team, but in reality, he was ranked last. The nine people ahead of him were Feng Ji and other members who had already been selected for the Special Operations Team.

In other words, he was already at the threshold of the Star Dou Squad, and it is reasonable that he has now been officially recruited.

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised by Gao Shu's appearance.

He is now an eight-meridian martial artist, but the eighth meridian was opened relatively recently, not even a few days earlier than Lu Yuan's. His martial meridian is only at the fourth rank, and he does not possess any extraordinary physique.

Lu Yuan pondered that Wu Jianming recruited him into the team not only to make up the numbers, but also because of his meteorological abilities. While his ability to gather qi to form a tree couldn't compare to Lu Yuan's sun, it was still quite unique and possessed great potential.

"You've arrived."

In contrast, the three were not surprised at all by Lu Yuan's appearance.

After all, everyone already knew that Lu Yuan had been selected for the Star Dou Squad.

"Here comes another one."

Lu Yuan nodded, greeted everyone, and looked around in confusion.

Including him, shouldn't there be five new members? Where's the last one? Is he late?

He's already quite a big shot for arriving right on time, but the other guy is even more impressive and just arrived late?

"Time's up, board!"

Just then, an officer on the helicopter spoke up.

Is this because they're not waiting anymore?

Being a few minutes late shouldn't warrant being disqualified outright.

Lu Yuan was puzzled, but seeing that Shen Qiubing and the others had already boarded the plane, he didn't have time to think about it and boarded the helicopter as well.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

The next moment, as the propellers spun faster and faster, the helicopter slowly took off and flew straight to the northwest.

After flying for about an hour, we should have arrived in the western suburbs.

The entire Chongming base city is divided into thirteen districts. The western suburbs are relatively remote. Although they are large in area, they are not very convenient in terms of daily life, so they are mostly factories or other high-risk and high-pollution places.

For example, most of the training grounds of the Starry Sky Club are located in the western suburbs. In fact, most of the training grounds of other martial arts groups are also located in the western suburbs.

It now appears that the Star Dou Squad's base is located in the western suburbs.

"arrive."

As I pondered this, the helicopter arrived above an abandoned factory.

At least from the outside, it looks like an abandoned factory.

"Go down."

The helicopter slowly descended, and when it was still more than ten meters above the ground, the accompanying officer spoke up.

Where would a helipad come from in an abandoned factory building?

But at least put down a rope ladder or something, are you just going to let them jump down like that?

Whoosh!

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Gao Shu had already jumped down.

As the saying goes, a ruthless person doesn't talk much, and Gao Shu is usually taciturn.

"Let's go."

Shen Qiubing said something, and then she and Tang Guangming jumped down one after the other.

Lu Yuan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to jump.

Tap!

With about half a meter to the ground, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, using a burst step to stomp on the air, instantly cushioning the force of the fall, and then landed steadily on the ground.

The abandoned factory is uncleaned and covered in dust. If you were to walk directly on it, your freshly changed clothes would definitely get dirty.

Wu Jianming had called earlier to tell him to prepare well, so Lu Yuan specially changed into a new outfit to give the other team members a good impression.

Although Wu Jianming's "preparation" probably didn't mean that.

"What are you so arrogant about?"

Tang Guangming dusted himself off, glanced at Lu Yuan, and snorted softly.

With their strength, jumping from this height is nothing at all. Why did they have to use a burst step to cushion the fall? Weren't they just showing off to them?

Although he was unconvinced, Tang Guangming didn't say much. After all, his explosive step was far from being trained to that level. Even with other methods to cushion the fall, he could never do it as easily as Lu Yuan.

In contrast, Shen Qiubing and Gao Shu didn't have so many thoughts. After all, Tang Guangming had been thoroughly beaten by Lu Yuan, but they hadn't.

"Why is nobody here?"

After glancing around, Shen Qiubing spoke.

Apart from the four of them, there was no one else, and even the helicopter had flown away.

Weren't we supposed to recruit them into the team? Where's Wu Jianming? Where are the rest of the team?

"Let's look for it."

Tang Guangming frowned slightly, then added another reminder.

Be careful.

The others remained silent, but they all became alert and knew what was going on.

After all, this situation clearly indicates something is wrong; there might be an ambush somewhere. After all, Wu Jianming loves to conduct surprise recruitment tests and the like.

With the situation unclear, the four dared not separate and instead worked together to investigate.

We had seen from the plane that this abandoned factory was quite large. They were in a small courtyard, with what appeared to be a warehouse in front of it.

The four of them went into the warehouse and looked around. Some things were placed haphazardly, and there was dust everywhere. There was nothing special about it.

The warehouse also had a side door, through which the four of them exited into an open space.

The abandoned factory was larger than expected, with some buildings quite far apart. After all, visual distances weren't accurate from the helicopter.

"Let's go take a look over there."

There's a three-story building in front; it looks like an office building or something similar.

The four exchanged a glance and walked over.

"Be careful!"

When they were still about a hundred meters away, Lu Yuan was suddenly startled and pulled Shen Qiubing away from him.

Pfft!

With a muffled thud, a wisp of white smoke was seen rising from a small hole in the ground a few meters away.

"A sniper rifle?"

"They're not firearms; they're more like ranged attack techniques."

Tang Guangming glanced at the small hole in the ground and said in a deep voice.

If it were a sniper rifle or similar weapon, there should be bullets inside, but there was only a piece of nearly burnt-out gravel in that small hole.

"Go and see for yourself."

The four men looked serious as they gazed at the small building in front of them.

Then I continued walking.

Whether it's sniper rifles or combat skills, with the abilities of the four of them, they wouldn't back down because of this.

After that, there were no further attacks.

That pebble just now was simply like a greeting.
