Chapter 976 The upcoming journey
(I’m quite busy and I really can’t make it in time, so this is the chapter for today orz)
“That’s what the old guy told you?” the commander-in-chief sighed.
Gordon and others looked at each other in confusion. After telling the commander-in-chief about the grand commander's commission, the latter's reaction made them a little uneasy.
Noticing the change in their demeanor, the commander-in-chief raised his hand, "Don't get me wrong, what the grand leader said is true, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent in the Nergigante Society.
In the early days of the investigation team, or in other words, before the arrival of the fourth phase of the team, we were always in a state of shortage of manpower.
The investigation mission is not as clearly planned as it is now.
There are too many things that need to be investigated, but there are only a few experienced hunters and investigators. No one is sure how to investigate or where to investigate, so everyone investigates in a relatively free way.
Taking the members of the first group as an example, Nergigante is the main investigation direction of the Grand Leader.
In the past thirty years, he has encountered Nergigant several times, confirming Nergigant's habit of actively hunting other ancient dragon species.
It also proves that the activities of the Nergigante will indeed cause the ancient dragon turmoil.
In contrast, Mecca's investigation direction is the changes in the energy of the earth's veins, while Yuanye is more inclined to travel across the continent, collecting various detailed information and integrating it into intelligence. "
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to leave the Big Ant Mound Wasteland to Mr. Mecca for investigation?” Anhir asked.
The commander-in-chief seemed a little troubled, "That's true, but Mecca has been out of contact for more than a month.
Things in the Big Ant Mound Wasteland cannot be delayed. The energy of the earth veins and even the terrain of the underground caves may change at any time, and clues may be fleeting.
I have also considered entrusting you to conduct the investigation directly.
But you have only arrived in the New World not long ago, and you are not sensitive enough to many things here and may overlook some things, so that guy becomes the only choice. "
These words made Gordon unable to refute.
If he were asked to follow the footsteps of some kind of monster, he believed that nothing would go wrong, but the earth energy and so on
He only knew this word two days ago.
“Whether you accept the Grand Leader’s commission to track the Nergigante, the choice of whether to accept the Nergigante is left to you.
You need to travel across the entire new continent from south to north. The time spent on the journey will be measured in months, not to mention the dangers when facing the Nergigante.
Even if you make up your mind, be prepared to get nothing. "The commander-in-chief said in a serious tone.
“Hey, if you say that, young people will give up!”
Haunting laughter came, and the head of the regiment walked into the headquarters and came in front of everyone.
The commander-in-chief glanced at his old friend and said rather tit-for-tat: "If they decide to embark on this journey, they must be aware of it accordingly."
“Yes, yes,” the head of the regiment raised his hand as if surrendering.
Turning his head and grinning again, he winked at Gordon and the others and said, "But this is not without its benefits. Think about it, if you accept this commission for free exploration, you can run around as you please.
There are no boring and trivial daily tasks, and you will not be assigned here and there by this old guy. You can go wherever you want and come back whenever you want.
After all, no one knows when and where the Nergigante will appear. Theoretically, there is no difference between your arrival in the north of the continent tomorrow and your arrival next year. Anyway, it all depends on luck.
You don’t have to rush on your way at all. You can go to the Coral Plateau and enjoy it for two months. You can also visit the research base on the way.
You can also go to the Miasma Valley for a walk, if you are happy, but the road will be difficult to walk.
You know why I, Mecca, and the others are always running around in the wild, right? "
The three Gordons exchanged glances, obviously moved. The Commander-in-Chief’s face turned dark. It’s not enough for this old guy to be a **** himself, but he also wants to trick young people into becoming **** too? !
Without waiting for the commander-in-chief to speak, the grand commander quickly continued: "Look, the ancient dragons in the New World are quite peaceful now, aren't they?
It's hard to lure the elite members of the Special Investigation Team from the Old Continent. Are you willing to let them stay in the stronghold every day? Today, you will help find a place to set up a camp, and tomorrow you will help collect building materials?
It's better to take this opportunity to let them out, get to know this continent well, and grow up.
Besides, there is no way to say that nothing has been gained. Even if the Nergigante is not found, haven’t all the experiences along the way been gained? "
After choking for several seconds, the commander-in-chief sighed and said helplessly, "You old guy, you obviously have the body of a reckless man, but you are always so good at sophistry."
“Hahahaha!” the head of the regiment laughed loudly.
The commander-in-chief was too lazy to look at him and turned to the young hunters and said: "In short, the situation is just like what we just said. Whether you want to go on this trip or not depends on your own wishes."
The three of them exchanged words in low voices, and finally Gordon said: "Let's go. Regardless of whether we can find the Nergigante or not, we want to take this opportunity to take a good look at this continent."
"Haha! That's right!" The leader slapped Gordon on the shoulder hard, "What kind of hunter is a hunter who doesn't want to go out of his house?"
The Commander-in-Chief also had a smile on his face, as if he was thinking of his younger self.
They decided to plan a long journey, but Gordon and the others did not set off immediately.
The departure date was set for half a month. Not only did they have to prepare a lot of things, but the commander-in-chief also entrusted them with other things.
The research base has been on the isolated coral platform for many years.
Led by the leader of the third phase of the group, the group of scholars not only solved the problem of important supplies such as food, but they were even able to create paper that was consumed daily.
But there are always some things that they can't get anyway, such as needles and threads for sewing clothes, or steel pens that can write fine fonts, etc.
You can prepare a batch of supplies for this trip and ask Gordon and the others to help bring them there.
After leaving the commander-in-chief and others, everyone went to the processing house together.
For no other reason, Xianglan’s new cat armor has been made.
Seeing that everyone was following them, Xianglan was quite happy at first, but when she saw the new cat armor made from the remnants of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, her face turned dark.
He turned around and wanted to run away, but Hayata's quick eyesight and hands quickly brought him back.
The leader of the second phase of the group, who personally designed this set of cat armor, bared his teeth and asked Xianglan, "How do you like it? Isn't it cute?"
“Cute *** meow meow!” Xianglan screamed with her teeth and claws dancing.
“I think it’s quite cute.”
“I feel like meow too.”
Gordon and Pork Chop pinched their chins, holding back their laughter and looking very serious.
Anhil didn't like to talk nonsense, so he searched for an adjective for a long time and commented, "There is a kind of wild beauty."
Hayata pursed her lips with a smile, and moved this arrogant piece of equipment in front of Xianglan, "Let's try it. It looks very strong, and its defensive performance should be outstanding."
“No meow! I don’t want to wear such clothes, meow meow!” Xianglan tried to run away, but was held tightly by the pig, kicking her legs and meowing loudly.
"You have to think on the bright side, meow. This kind of full-coverage cat armor is very rare, meow, and it has high fire resistance. When you put on this cat armor, you don't have to worry about being burned bald anymore, meow!" "
“I would rather be burned bald!”
