The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"Why?" Perlis was a little confused.

"Because of the [Black Mist]," the officer explained, "Let Miss Su Yao explain. She has read the briefing on the way here."

Obviously, this was an opportunity given to Su Yao by the officer. As she was specially authorized to enter this place, she would naturally not give up this opportunity.

"Cough cough..."

Su Yao cleared her throat, then nervously introduced herself to Perlis and Carly;

"The [Black Dead Zone] cannot be entered during normal hours because the entire area will be shrouded in [Black Fog]. During this period, anyone in the dead zone will lose contact. So far, there has been no exception to the Black Fog."

"The Black Fog window lasts every three days, and each window lasts four to five hours. During that window, the Black Fog will temporarily dissipate, and the dead zone can be explored."

"The last window period ended not long ago, and the next window period is in three days."

6) Quiet Mist (Part 8)

On the only screen in the combat command center, Perlis saw the real-time monitoring image of the [Black Dead Zone].

The fog was still white on the top of the mountain, but as it got closer to the dead zone, it gradually turned pitch black and rolled like a dark cloud.

Nothing could be seen through the fog. Only a few high points of the ruined buildings would reveal a tiny corner, and the rest were all submerged in the sea of ​​black fog.

"After being swallowed by the black fog, people will disappear," Su Yao said, "Well... According to what I learned from the briefing, some residents accidentally broke into the blockade area in the early days, and then disappeared after the black fog spread, right?"

"Yes, our search team went to look for him when the black fog dissipated, but we didn't find the body," the officer said. "However, a hundred meters away from where he disappeared, there was a black figure printed on the ground. Other than that, there are no other clues."

The officer's description reminded Perlis of Sea Mist Island - she had once boarded an air pirate ship near Sea Mist Island and saw a similar situation in the captain's room.

Obviously, the mechanism of the black fog is related to the [Netherworld]. If you are swallowed by the black fog, you may enter the [Netherworld].

Is it another small town called Ankamouth? No, this time it's on a much larger scale, a whole valley. Who knows what will happen...

It seems that it is indeed the best choice not to rush in blindly, otherwise you may die without knowing why...

"I understand. Let's wait for the black fog to dissipate in three days," Perlis nodded to Su Yao and the officer, "Carly, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Yes, there is," Carly stared at the screen thoughtfully, "Is the time it takes for the black fog to dissipate stable?"

"It's not completely stable, there is a margin of error," the officer said. "The margin of error is probably within ten hours, but the window period is stable for four or five hours, which is very stable."

"So, how long will it take from observing the black fog dissipating to boarding the plane and flying to the dead zone?"

"About forty minutes. The distance isn't that far. If we drive at full speed, it'll be less than half an hour."

"That means the actual exploration time is three to four hours..." Carly nodded, "I understand. As for the rest, let's wait until the advance team comes back."

"Okay," the officer turned to Su Yao, "Su Yao, take them to live in the city. There are many people transferred here in the past two days, so it is not convenient to arrange accommodation for the time being."

"receive."

Su Yao nodded to Perlis and Carly, and the three of them walked out of the hall of the combat center together.

Behind the three people, the officer kept watching them disappear, then he picked up the console and spoke into the primitive intercom:

"What's the situation? Are there any survivors?"

"The advance team confirmed that it crashed on its way home... The inventory of the wreckage has just been completed, and no one survived."

"Shit..." The officer cursed under his breath, "Where's the information? Is there anything recorded in the black box?"

"Yes... they risked their lives to leave behind some crucial information. Do I need to send it to you?"

"Send it. Also send it to the [Drunken Master]. Now that things have developed to this point, it's time for him to get back to work."

......

After leaving the combat center, Su Yao took Perlis and Carly on a cable car through the misty clouds and headed to the Wulan City on the outer ring.

The speed of the cable car was neither too fast nor too slow, so the group had time to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Looking at the misty mountains, Perlis recalled the people she had seen along the way. Most of them had no expression, as if the mist and their faces had grown together.

At first, she thought it was the indifference of the Wulan people, but now, she suddenly realized that it was something deeper than indifference.

That is transcendence, the transcendence brought about by life in the mountains.

This place is not as prosperous as Chaoqu. Perhaps because it is located in a remote area, or perhaps because the residents prefer a natural life, everyone's clothes are very simple.

But it is not the simplicity caused by poverty, but rather a sense of simplicity yet style.

There was no smile on their faces that was always on the faces of the Chaoqu people. While being aloof, they seemed to be always on guard against something.

"It's really unique," Perlis recalled with great emotion. "I thought the mountain people were just like the Thebits."

"You're not thinking about that guy, are you?" Carly pinched Perlis's cheek, "Don't think about men, don't think about men."

"Well...I like Carly's better. You can't be jealous."

Perlis was talking to herself, not noticing that Carly's face suddenly turned red. She just continued:

"Young Master is amazing and very brave. When I met him later, his eyes were like they were on fire. He has changed a lot... It feels like he can do anything..."

"Do you know what happened to him later?" Carly lowered her head and cleared her throat.

"I haven't seen him since we separated in Dila, and I haven't heard from him since then," Perlis shook her head. "What happened to him? How did Carly know?"

Carly immediately put on a sarcastic expression, and looked at Perlis mysteriously, as if she was about to reveal some big secret:

"Of course I know. Wasn't the communication restored? I asked Grissom to send me the situation in Ademir, and the result... guess what? Haha, you will never guess~"

"Stop keeping me in suspense!" Perlis puffed up her cheeks, "Tell me!"

"I'll tell you if I'm just being cute."

"Hmm? Do I still need to act cute? Just look at me..."

Perlis just looked at Carly like this. Carly stared at her cute silly expression for a while, and finally couldn't hold it anymore:

"Pfft... Well, I tell you, he is king, the King of Thebit."

"Oh, so...then...what?!"

Pearlis almost jumped up from her chair. She looked at Carly in shock, her head tilted as if she was overloaded.

"Call...king? Impossible." Perlis said firmly.

"You just said that you felt he could do anything..." Carly admired the expression on Perlis's face, "Besides, he also called himself the Tyrant! Tyrant! Bad King!"

Perlis put her weight back on the chair, sighed softly, and thought of Pace who was far away in the sky.

"Young Master has become a bad guy..." She was a little disappointed, "A bad guy like Laplace and Cang Huang..."

In Perlis's impression, most of the kings of a country are not good people. They are all extremely scheming and like to fiddle with the situation like playing chess every day, making everyone miserable.

She inexplicably imagined some strange scenes: Pace put on Laplace's clothes, with a fierce face, staying in the room with a shrewd look, drinking tea while thinking about how to kill everyone, and at the same time kept muttering about "unification" or something.

Perlis felt that this was a bit magical.

"Ahahaha, actually not at all," Carly fanned Perlis with one hand, "He's a good lord. He's currently building an army with Eshilia in the kingdom. It's said that the Federation is making moves in the wasteland, and there may be a conflict soon."

These words calmed Perlis down a lot, and also reminded her of a lord who was not a bad person - Ashilia. Ashilia was a good person.

But she imagined another scene in her mind: both Ashlia and Pace were wearing Laplace's clothes, and then they were sitting in a dark little room, grinning slyly while pushing chess pieces on the chessboard, thinking about how to kill all the federal soldiers.

Ah...destruction!

6) Quiet Mist (Part 9)

On the cable car going down the mountain, Su Yao listened to Perlis and Carly playing around while staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

She recalled the gazes that were cast on her when she faced the [Symbolic Meeting]: those senior officials and representatives did not seem to think that Su Yao, an ordinary soldier, was qualified to participate in that meeting. Even after the meeting, someone came to warn her not to leak the content of the meeting to the outside world, and their attitude was very cold.

Su Yao knew that she couldn't blame anyone for this. She was just an ordinary soldier. Even though the name of the Black Special Forces was well-known on the border, it was normal that no one looked up to her in Chaoqu.

She recalled the unyielding momentum that Perlis and Carly showed when facing Yan Chu, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I am not on the same level as them... I am too weak...

I was sent here as a guide...it's only because I know too much, and it's not easy for me to get away with it, right?

Haha...If it weren't for Miss Perlis's words, I might be patrolling the streets of Chaoqu...

Su Yao clenched her fists lightly, but quickly let go. She didn't think there was anything wrong with patrolling the streets, but she really wanted to do something greater.

She wanted to wipe out the [Black Tide Cult] in one fell swoop so that the people's borders would never be breached again.

She wants revenge for her parents.

She is not satisfied with herself now. What she can do now is too little and she must do more.

"..."

Su Yao touched a small black ring on her wrist. It was the [Filter] she got from [Black Saint] Luo Yan, and she had used it once.

The burning sensation left by that incident still has some aftereffects to this day, so much so that she has had to check her body constantly these past few days to prevent any accidents.

I have to use it three times before I can recheck... If I'm scared, how can I join the [Black Soldier]...

You can become stronger by joining [Black Soldiers].

"call..."

Su Yao exhaled, and the cable car gradually entered the station. She turned her head and said to Perlis and Carly who were still playing:

"What would you like to eat for lunch today?"

"Ah?" Carly turned her head and suddenly realized that she had been ignoring Su Yao. "Miss Su Yao, do you have any recommendations?"

"Well... the food in the mountain city is quite spicy. How about we go for a hotpot? Can you two handle spicy food?" Su Yao seemed to be thinking about something.

"I can't eat it," Perlis shook her head, "spicy food is terrible."

"I don't care, as long as it tastes good. I don't really care whether it's spicy or not," Carly said. "Is that hot pot spicy? Forget about the spicy stuff. I don't think my little white flower can eat it."

"Ah, actually we have a shabu-shabu hotpot, half of it is spicy and half is not spicy," Su Yao smiled, "Then let's go eat hotpot!"

The cable car stopped steadily at the edge of the platform, and a group of people got off the car and came to the platform in Wulan city.

Su Yao had just stood still when she heard a loud shout from not far away:

"Hey! Xiaoyao! Xiaoyao!"

Before she could see who was calling her, a black shadow pounced over and hugged her neck.

It was Sha Ya, she was looking at Su Yao with shining eyes, as if she wanted to eat her.

"Hey~ Don't... don't do this..."

Su Yao raised her head shyly, struggled to get the sloth-like Sha Ya down, and then frowned at her:

"Saya...? Why are you back?"

"Because the East Great Wall is locked," Shaya waved her hand, "Don't you watch the news?"

"What about Yuanzhen? Didn't they say that they don't have enough supplies?"

"Well, my master went there, so after the lockdown was lifted, I just wandered around the area not far from the Great Wall and made a few deliveries."

Perlis remembered that Shaya's master seemed to be a [Guardian of the Great Wall], but she had never heard of the specific information. Now it seems that he should be a guard guarding outside the border.

"I just arrived in Wulan, and I heard that you guys are here too," Shaya turned to look at Perlis and Carly, "You two, have you fallen in love with the mountains and rivers of my Great Qilang?"

"Impressive." Perlis nodded.

"Ms. Shaya, what are you doing in Wulan?" Carly obviously noticed something. "You can hear that we are here, which means you have contact with the military."

"Hey, of course," Saya scratched her head embarrassedly, "I can't hide it from you. Actually, I'm here to participate in the exploration mission of the [Black Dead Zone]. I heard that you guys are going to save the world? Huh?"

"Strictly speaking, it has indeed reached this point," Su Yao's expression suddenly became more serious, "[Lord of the Black Tide]..."

"Hey, keep your voice down, don't talk here," Sha Ya quickly covered Su Yao's mouth and looked around, "This is still a secret, most people don't know."

Her worries were not without reason, but to be honest, Perlis didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Yao mentioning it at this time - after all, there were really not many people in the station, and even if there were people, they were all doing their own things indifferently.

But Su Yao still nodded in fear, and then took a deep breath.

Saya's joining is obviously a good thing. After all, she has a deep understanding of the rules of survival on the Black Tide Land. Except for the black fog, the [Black Dead Zone] is probably not much different from the Black Tide Land.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I've been collecting supplies and got a lot of bounties recently. Let me treat you guys to a meal~" Saya stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Ms. Su Yao said she would take us to eat hot pot," Perlis became excited when she heard there was food to eat, "Let's go, shall we?"

"Ha~ Miss Qingcheng actually knows that hot pot is the specialty of Wulan, let's go! I know a very good hot pot restaurant!" Shaya glanced at Su Yao ghostly, "It's a pity that Xiaotian is not here. Alas, she didn't answer the phone at all. I guess she is immersed in the manuscript again... Writers are really boring people..."
