Wanqi Siling
Chapter 309 Returning After Receiving the Letter
"Uncle, what happened?!"
The moment Cheshire crawled out of the game pod, he rushed to Yan Hui's residence at the school. The entire school's security alarm had been triggered.
Because the students had gone to Base Two, and the other teachers had basically gone home for vacation, even Xu Wensong and the other teachers were now working from home, except for Dennis, who had gone to the Second Military Academy as the team leader.
The principal had already sent a message that he had summoned the military to come to the school.
After all, the alarm at their school had gone off, which was a serious matter!
However, when Cheshire rushed to Yan Hui's residence, except for the complete destruction of the house where Yan Hui lived, all those standing around Yan Hui himself were security robots. He seemed completely unharmed.
Seeing Cheshire's arrival, Yan Hui smiled and indicated that everything was fine, "These young people these days can't hide their feelings. They exploded with just a little prodding."
Cheshire: ?????
Uncle, what are you talking about?
"Oh, right, there's something I need to trouble you and the principal with."
Yan Hui clapped his hands together as if to dust them off, lowered his eyes, and looked at the ruins not far away, saying, "That, please trouble you to take the body of that Feng Jia who was blown to death in the house and give it to me to take away. I'll find someone to research what kind of Zerg he is."
"Zerg?!"
Cheshire's eyes widened, and his voice instantly rose. "How can there be Zerg?!"
Ever since Mei Qiu returned, the Empire had intensified its efforts to investigate hidden Zerg. Additionally, the Main Brain's monitoring on the Star Network had helped them to root out many Zerg hidden in human society, including those in their military academy.
"Another hidden Zerg?"
Cheshire asked uncertainly.
"Probably not, through mental parasitism..."
"It's upgraded?"
Even Cheshire's heart sank when he heard that it was mental parasitism.
They had encountered mental parasitism before, and it was usually easier to detect through mental wave detection.
But Feng Jia was recruited through their school, his resume was clean, his background was clear, and every step of his physical examination was extremely strict. How could he still be a Zerg?
"To be honest, I don't understand either, but he definitely is." Yan Hui shrugged, his eyes darkening as he said this, "And I think the main body of that Zerg must not be dead."
"Is that so? If Feng Jia is really a Zerg... why would they discard such a well-hidden pawn so easily?"
Cheshire looked at Yan Hui with suspicion. He naturally knew from Mei Qiu that this uncle of his was exceptionally capable.
But to be able to draw out and even destroy a sleeper cell that their entire school was unaware of, her uncle's value was simply too great, wasn't it?
...
The *huokang* (heated brick bed) that Mingmei and the others were longing for finally had a player come forward and say that he should know how to build one, after Bai Xiao and the others presented the related concepts and basic physical principles.
Mingmei directly had him build one in a room first to see the effect. When the final product was finished, it was not only successful, but that player directly gained 10 points!
10 points!
The other players were envious and excited.
Was this the meaning of discovering one's potential?
However, besides the first *huokang* that he built, which earned him 10 points, he only added 1 point for each *huokang* built in the other rooms.
But even so, after building a *huokang* in every room in all the houses, he earned a total of about 20 points for it.
Some players who helped him also learned how to build a *huokang*, and this learning process also added 2 points, making everyone's lives more and more hopeful!
In addition to the houses, the outer defense facilities were also being improved by another student who seemed to have discovered a talent in this area. Under his leadership, the mountain roads leading to their large platform were smoothed out, and many fortifications were added.
Finally, after a wooden gate more than five meters high, covered with various thorny branches, was erected at the platform, the participants in this defense project each gained 5 points, including the players who helped collect the thorny branches, who also received two or three points.
Cooperation,
Learning,
These two words were fully understood and utilized through the players' practical efforts.
The previously stagnant scores soared to 3000+, which made many players who were wandering outside, living in fear every day, and not earning many points, realize something.
In places they couldn't see, their classmates were undergoing earth-shattering changes, taking the lead like crazy in places they didn't know about.
"Aaaaaah!"
Damn it, I'm not staying in this crappy place!
I want to find companions to take the lead together!
"Aaaaaah!"
I don't want to be a burden!
A certain player who had been living alone in a cave, wearing animal skins, unkempt and drinking blood, finally made up his mind to "descend the mountain"!
He looked down at the slightly yellowed map on the leaf in his hand.
This was a "small advertisement" that had fallen out of the feathers of a large bird that had landed at his cave to rest a few days ago, after he had ambushed and killed it.
He had previously scoffed at it. At the time, he didn't think that numbers necessarily meant strength. If the place wasn't good, a few primeval behemoths could wipe it out in a few bites.
But after a long time, although he could live well on his own, there was no one to talk to. The only sounds he made were "aaah," and the score recorded on his wristband had stopped at 25 for a long time, sometimes even deducting a point or two.
But the total score below his individual score was changing like crazy.
The meaning of this was self-evident!
"Aaaaaaaah!"
With an animal skin bundle on his back and a pile of animal bone knives and swords in his hand, Hu Ge'er was going "down the mountain to find relatives"!
...
At the same time, downstream from the river near Mingmei's settlement, Mandison, who was being led ashore by an primeval behemoth in the water, was running and shouting "ooo ooo ooo" as he was relentlessly pursued by the enraged beast.
Until he darted into the woods by the river, the primeval behemoth charged in after him in the next second.
Instantly, a flock of birds took flight above the woods, and a series of thuds echoed from within, continuing for about half an hour before the pounding subsided.
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of laughter followed, and Mandison, along with the four students from the Empire Central Military Academy that he had met, emerged from their ambush in the woods.
The group of five, wearing animal skins or dinosaur hides, dragged the primeval beast, whose head had been smashed to pieces, back to the water.
This guy was a tyrant in the waters nearby. Mandison and his companions had been living in this area for quite some time, and had secretly killed many wild beasts nearby. But this one in the water was impossible to kill and also affected their water collection.
Previously, two of their companions had lost their lives while fetching water. This was finally revenge!
Picking up a bone knife, the group stabbed into the beast's soft belly and began to process it by the river.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, someone felt a thick object wrapped in animal skin inside the beast's stomach.
It looked like it had been accidentally eaten and hadn't been fully digested yet.
Curious, the others gathered around and unwrapped the animal skin, revealing a verdant corner inside...
