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

"I don't know. There is no specific data, but the black fog has indeed dispersed."

"This doesn't make sense...it shouldn't..."

Looking at the valley without any black fog, Carly quickly retrieved the data and checked the past records.

The previous statistics of the Qilang people... were correct. Each time the black fog dissipated, it took about three days, and the error would not exceed one day.

But this time, the black fog dissipated after only one day?

While Carly was thinking about this, a report came from the other side:

"I have found the key information! It is very strong! Very strong!"

"What?" Carly turned her head sharply, "How can..."

"It's true, Dr. Fellowes, come and see."

Carly kicked the corner of the table and skillfully maneuvered the office chair to the monitor opposite and looked at the parameters on it.

It’s true. The location of the third key was precisely marked in an area not far from the laboratory, and the signal was very strong.

"This is obviously a trap," Carly said decisively, "Don't even think about it."

"why?"

“I don’t need to provide evidence, but it doesn’t matter whether this is a trap or not,” Carly shook her head. “What’s important is that we have no choice.”

Yes, the people of Qilang have no choice. The Lord of the Black Tide will arrive in half a month. If they cannot get the third key, the border will be lost and the war will cover the entire Qilang.

But the timing was so precise... just when Perlis was not around?

"Can the [Drunken Immortal] attack?" Carly turned her head.

"You can attack, no problem."

Carly turned her head and found Su Yao behind her, wearing light armor.

"Su Yao? You..."

"I have submitted an application to my superiors. I will still be a member of the advance team for this key recovery operation."

Su Yao's eyes were bright and sharp, without any sign of having just been injured.

She couldn't stand still and watch her hometown being threatened, she had to take action.

"But, your injury."

"My injury has completely healed," Su Yao took a deep breath, "I told you, I have a little secret."

The girl tightly grasped the small ring on her wrist to suppress her trembling.

She wants to be everyone's Great Wall.

......

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 4)

After the quick decision of the [Symbolic Council], the Qilang military finally decided to explore the [Black Dead Zone].

Due to the hasty decision of this exploration and the irregular dissipation of the black fog, participants could only be selected from the combatants on duty at the base.

After all, most of the soldiers were in various places in Wulan City at this time and there was no time to recall them.

We must race against time, after all, the signal of the key is so clear, and there is no telling when the black fog will come back again.

If they don't even try to grasp it, the people of Qilang will lose their right to survive.

Fortunately, [Drunken Immortal] Li Zhonghe was at the base when the incident happened, and having a [Guardian of the Great Wall] to accompany him would greatly reduce the danger of exploration.

"..."

After quickly assembling the team, Su Yao boarded a helicopter of the exploration team. When she saw her boarding the plane, Sha Ya in the driver's seat cast a helpless look at her.

In fact, Su Yao didn't have to come. Although the base was short of main players at the moment, it was not to the point where she, a potential injured player, was needed to play.

But Su Yao's qualifications gave her the capital to join the team - she had experienced an exploration of the dead zone, while the other team members who had experienced it were either not discharged from the hospital yet, or were on vacation in Wulan City and had not yet been recalled.

"I'm fine," Su Yao nodded to Sha Ya, "He Xian is here."

Sha Ya looked at Su Yao with a complicated look, but in the end, she just sighed and said:

"Get ready for takeoff."

"......"

With the sound of propellers, two helicopters left the base on the top of the mountain and began to fly towards the [Black Dead Zone]. The misty clouds flowed in Su Yao's vision like a river, reminding her of the water in Qingcheng.

[Filter] You need to go for a physical examination after using it three times, including the previous one. After this time, you can go to Teacher Luo Yan to report the news.

For some reason, Su Yao prefers to call [Black Saint] Luo Yan "teacher" rather than "general". That man taught her everything about being a soldier, even if she was clumsy and not good enough.

The [Black Soldiers] represented by Luo Yan guard the Great Wall on the border, which is the existence that Su Yao longs for.

After it's over, if I'm qualified, I can become a [Black Soldier] and gain the power to guard the border.

Looking at the misty clouds, Su Yao's thoughts kept drifting.

Her ideal has always been simple - to guard the border and prevent the tragedy that happened to her from happening to others.

You shouldn't think about these things, you should concentrate on this.

Su Yao patted her head gently. At this time, the helicopter was gradually approaching the source of the signal.

Looking around, the dark depressions were scattered all over the land, like densely packed honeycombs. The swamps were all black, unable to reflect any light, like an endless night looming over the land.

"Approaching the source of the signal," Shaya said in the cockpit. "[Drunken Master], old rules?"

“It’s time to collect folk songs.”

Li Zhonghe's voice came from the radio. At the same time, Su Yao saw a figure jumping out from the edge of another helicopter - Li Zhonghe drove the flying sword and swooped down, patrolling around the dark swamp.

"We should go too," Su Yao patted the soldier beside her, "solve it within ten minutes! Don't waste time!"

"receive."

Under Su Yao's command, the soldiers began to rappel down. Su Yao waited until the end to fasten the buckle around her waist to the rope, ready to leave the helicopter.

But at this moment, Shaya stopped her:

"Xiaoyao, take my weapon."

Su Yao turned her head, reached out and took a look, and found that what she was holding was Shaya's multi-functional grenade launcher.

"You are willing to lend it to me..." Su Yao murmured, "It's really strange."

"It's really rare, but considering that the [Alpha Wolf] you encountered last time might appear again, it will be easier for you to deal with it." Shaya said with a wry smile.

"What about you? What if you crash again?" Su Yao also smiled gently.

"I won't crash the plane. Don't forget, this is my second time flying a helicopter!"

Sha Ya grinned at Su Yao. Obviously, neither of them wanted the atmosphere to be too serious.

"It comes with two shock spears. Use them sparingly and it's best to recycle them. They're very valuable." Shaya warned.

"Okay," Su Yao put the grenade launcher on her back, "see you later."

After saying that, Su Yao lowered the rope to the ground and stood on a piece of mud in the dark swamp.

The mud was very soft, and the soles of the soldiers' shoes sank shallowly into it, leaving a series of footprints as they moved. After landing, Su Yao quickly looked around and confirmed the environment.

This is a very desolate area. It was probably desolate even before the Kuroshio Tide arrived. In the distance, only the remains of a few antenna towers were faintly visible on the horizon. There was no sign of life within a hundred miles.

"Search completed, no signs of the enemy," Li Zhonghe's voice came through the base station on the helicopter, "I will provide cover and begin to approach the source of the information."

"receive."

Su Yao turned her head and looked at the source of the information not far away - it was a few dead branches in a swamp, with a pendant-like creature hanging on them.

Without looking closely, Su Yao knew that it was the third key.

It actually appeared on a branch in the middle of the swamp. Was it afraid that we didn't know it was a trap?

Su Yao swallowed her saliva. Obviously, there were only two possibilities for the enemy to use such a simple way to inform his intentions.

Either too stupid, or too powerful.

He was so powerful that he didn't even need to think about strategies or backup plans. That guy knew that the Qilang people could only try to seize the key, so he showed off his strength arrogantly.

"I'll go get the key, cover me."

After Su Yao finished speaking, she stepped into the black swamp and began to move slowly towards the key in the center of the swamp.

The swamp was very wet. Su Yao's calves felt a bone-chilling chill after stepping into it. She frowned, struggling against the resistance, and finally reached the dead branch.

Looking closely at the dead branch, Su Yao was surprised to find that it was a miniature version of a giant tree, with lush branches and long veins, but without a single leaf.

On the highest branch of the small tree, the key was flashing a faint blue light, obviously constantly sending out signals.

Su Yao took a deep breath, then reached out and grabbed the key.

She pulled lightly, and the rope of the key broke a piece of dead branch, and the third key that determined the survival of the frontier was in her hand.

"Successful, I..."

Su Yao turned around and looked at her teammates outside the swamp, but suddenly froze——

——She didn’t know when it started, but she found herself in a chaotic darkness, and everything she saw was emptiness.

And at the end of the void, she saw a figure wearing a black dress and an elegant hat.

"Hello, beautiful Ms. Qi Lang, please allow me to introduce myself to you."

The figure turned his head, and a dark aura swirled in his silver eyes, resonating with the surrounding space.

"【Black Angel】, Suleiman Agust."

......

9) Small and Ordinary (Part 5) -5k chapter-

To the soldiers who were protecting Su Yao, everything happened in an instant.

The moment Su Yao's hand touched the key, a dark aura gushed out from the light and rushed straight into the sky.

Su Yao's figure was swallowed up in an instant. At the same time, dark branches burst out from the ground one after another, splashing the muddy water in the swamp, accompanied by the sharp noise of trees growing.

The soldiers subconsciously wanted to retreat, but countless black branches had already grown out violently and rolled towards them.

They could only survive in the waves of branches for two seconds at most before they were torn to pieces by the branches.

The remaining soldiers naturally identified the name of this giant from its characteristics - it was the [Vein of the Earth], one of the high-level components of Black Water.

It suddenly appeared in the [Black Dead Zone] like a conscripted follower.

"Squeak-"

The body of [Veins of the Earth] had leapt to a height of more than fifty meters in just a dozen seconds. Its pitch-black branches spread out like a shield covering the sky. Black spores fell from the sky and transformed into twisted tree-like creatures when they touched the ground. They roared and searched for the enemy with their exposed eye.

At the same time, between the branches of the giant tree, eyes hung down like flowers and fruits, staring at the dark earth and roaring.

At this moment, even if you look out over the dead zone from the mountain where the Wulan Combat Center is located, you can still see the crown of this giant tree.

"squeak--"

Under the shadow of [Veins of the Earth], the soldiers began to retreat with their little remaining sanity. Only a very small number of soldiers attacked the huge existence with gunfire in panic, but the effect was basically the same as throwing stones into the sea, completely useless.

As they watched soldiers die one after another, several flying swords came across the sky and pierced into the branches of the giant tree.

"Boom!"

The factor energy annihilation exploded, but it did not cause much substantial damage to the giant tree. [Drunken Immortal] Li Zhonghe flew through the air quickly, manipulating the flying sword to attack the giant tree while covering the retreat of the soldiers on the ground.

"Where's Su Yao!" he yelled into the radio.

"I saw her...she was sucked in!"

It was Saya's voice. She was maneuvering the helicopter to move quickly between the branches of the giant tree that blocked out the sun, using flexible maneuvers to dodge the tentacles that spread out as attack organs.

The helicopter's machine guns and missiles were also unable to cause much damage due to the size of the giant tree. The bursts of fire were submerged in the sea of ​​black branches, like a few fleeting stars in the night sky.

"There's no other way! Cover everyone's retreat!" Li Zhonghe yelled.

To be honest, there was almost no point in what he said - more than half of the members of the advance team were killed when [Veins of the Earth] emerged from the swamp, and the remaining members would basically not survive for long. In a few dozen seconds, they would also face the fate of death.
