Chapter 92 Team Up and Set Off
Chapter 92 Team Up and Set Off
An Xiaojie made this suggestion with her own selfish motives. After all, if you're going to form a team, you naturally want to find strong and capable people. Nobody wants to have a bad teammate, otherwise it's like gambling with their life.
The brother and sister arrived at Lin Shushu's door together, but before they could knock, the door opened from the inside.
After inviting them inside, Lin Shushu had some guesses in her mind, but she waited for them to speak first.
"Sister Shushu, I want to ask if you sign up to clear out the alien beasts? Can I team up with you?" An Yuanheng didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose.
“I didn’t plan to go, but Mo Ze will be going, so you can go with him.” Lin Shushu glanced at Mo Ze and said to An Yuanheng.
Even if he didn't come, Lin Shushu still planned to ask for his opinion. After what happened last time, she had a certain understanding of An Yuanheng's strength. He was fine with low-level beasts, but he couldn't handle high-level ones.
After spending these past few days together, she had gotten to know An Yuanheng's character pretty well; he was a good person. Besides, he was a descendant of her grandmother's maternal family, so she had to protect him to some extent.
Hearing that Lin Shushu had agreed, the An siblings were very happy. An Yuanheng seemed to realize something, so he suppressed his smile and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to ask?" Lin Shushu noticed his hesitation.
"Sister Shu, you know, I teamed up with others a few days ago, and if I were to leave them out now..."
"You want them to come together?" Lin Shushu also thought of the people from that day.
“Yes, they are all trustworthy people, which is why I recommended them to you. However, it’s okay if you disagree.” An Yuanheng looked at Mo Ze and asked somewhat cautiously, after all, he was the one who would make the final decision.
Receiving his gaze, Mo Ze raised an eyebrow but said nothing, clearly not objecting.
But An Yuanheng couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking, so he looked at Lin Shushu again.
Lin Shushu patted Mo Ze's arm, and only then did the latter look at An Yuanheng properly, "Sure, if the others want to come too."
An Yuanheng was overjoyed. He immediately contacted Lu Xiang, told him about it, and asked him to ask other people for their opinions.
The result was unanimous agreement, as the group was already considering forming a team again. They were just about to contact An Yuanheng when he contacted them first.
Having finalized the arrangements for their departure the next morning, the An siblings took their leave.
"Don't you find it a bit of a hassle to lead a bunch of young men?" Lin Shushu teased Mo Ze. After all, a dignified marshal of a legion shouldn't be leading his own soldiers, but instead should be here leading a few low-level thugs.
Mo Ze pinched Lin Shushu's cheek, touched her lips briefly and then pulled away, "No, just like when I took Mo Chen and the others, I don't need to manage them much anyway."
Lin Shushu also recalled what happened in Sunset Forest. She hadn't really paid much attention to Mo Chen and the others during those days, letting them train on their own. Mo Ze would never intervene unless it was a matter of life and death.
The next morning, when the four arrived at the lobby downstairs, Li Fei, Lu Xiang, Luo Yuan, and Yang Feng were already waiting there. They had agreed to meet there before registering.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is the list of teams that signed up this morning to participate in the extermination of the alien beasts." The subordinate showed Fang Hongzhang the registration forms he had received today.
As the commander-in-chief of the military stationed on J56, Fang Hongzhang would not normally personally concern himself with matters such as recruiting volunteers. However, given the current dire situation, he needed to understand the progress of the entire matter.
"Leave it there, I'll look at it later when I have time." Fang Hongzhang gestured to his subordinate that he could leave if there was nothing else.
After he finished his work, he remembered the list and casually picked it up to look through it. He was just going to skim through it, but a name that shouldn't have appeared caught his eye.
"Mo Ze," could it be the person he was imagining? He was somewhat terrified. How could that person be here, and even team up with someone else? It seemed impossible to even think about it.
But then I thought, if it really is him, then the problem of the strange beast that has been bothering me for so long can be easily solved.
Fang Hongzhang's eyes shone with light; at this moment, he desperately hoped that the name before him belonged to that person.
Mo Ze and his group headed to their assigned patrol area. Along the way, An Yuanheng described the situation of the mining area to him in detail.
The others chimed in, and as they chatted, the conversation turned to the day they were attacked by a level-five alien beast.
Seeing Mo Ze's fearless expression, the group was certain that his strength was more than enough to deal with a level-five beast. Perhaps even higher-level beasts wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Yuanheng, did you have any particular feelings after you went back that day?" Li Fei asked the question that had been bothering him for several days.
An Yuanheng was puzzled as to why he asked that question, and he looked at Li Fei with a puzzled expression.
"So... when you're floating in the air, are there any aftereffects?" To be honest, he's still very curious about that situation, and he's been itching to find out since he couldn't get an answer.
Lu Xiang, Luo Yuan, and Yang Feng also looked intently at An Yuanheng, as they were also very curious.
With a helpless shrug, An Yuanheng shook his head. "I'm perfectly fine, I don't feel any discomfort. As for the reason, I still don't know."
Seeing this, the four people stopped asking questions. After all, if someone keeps bringing up the same thing, it will annoy them, and they didn't want to be disliked.
Although Mo Ze did not participate in their discussion, he listened to the whole thing and pieced together what happened to them that day. As for the strange things that happened to An Yuanheng, he knew without thinking that it was Lin Shushu's doing.
It seems Shushu values this cousin quite a bit, having come all the way to rescue him. Since that's the case, he can't let anything happen to the kid.
Given the urgency of eliminating the alien beasts, all teams, along with military personnel, have expanded their patrol areas today, unlike last time when they were limited to the vicinity of the mining area.
Mo Ze and his group arrived at the transition zone between the forest and the hills. Unlike the mining area, this place was densely vegetated and was a frequent haunt of strange beasts.
After arriving here, apart from Mo Ze, the others became even more cautious. They were on high alert, ready to fight at any moment.
Being vigilant is a good thing. Regardless of how careful the others were, Mo Ze released his divine sense and carefully scanned the area. After finding no high-level beasts, he felt relieved and let the others disperse.
Before they left, Mo Ze added, "If you encounter an emergency, you can press the signal button, and I will come to find you."
With his words, An Yuanheng, Li Fei, and the others felt much more at ease, and their previous tension suddenly disappeared.
It must be said that some people simply have a knack for calming people down. Of course, this ability isn't innate; it's developed through continuous self-accumulation, reflection, and persistent effort.
Mo Ze now undoubtedly possesses this ability.
