Chapter 136 Under the Yellow Spring
Time flies and it’s the second half of July.
The Steel Fortress has advanced 60,000 kilometers in the underground world.
The closer we get to the old land, the more ferocious the tide of mutated beasts becomes, seemingly inexhaustible.
The number of casualties in the expeditionary force exceeded 100,000, and the supply lines were stretched too long. The soldiers in the fortress no longer had time to care about the intensifying "shadow game" in Lanhai City, and could only focus on the war in front of them.
Although optical cables have been laid, information can be transmitted in a timely manner, but it is impossible for the army to transfer instantly. The expeditionary force is temporarily unable to do anything about the chaos in Lanhai City.
And just as everyone was worried, there is still no news about the two guardian envoys Chen Jinge and Su Mengyan.
This is the really fatal thing. Every time Shen Bai returns to the fortress after killing the mutants, he can feel the oppressive atmosphere.
Qin Wuxiu had been holding meetings continuously for the past few days, and his tone was much more serious than usual. Everyone understood that no matter what happened to Chen and Su, the expeditionary force could not let go of this tone.
Because the end of this war is not far away.
Now above the expeditionary force, through the ground thousands of kilometers away, is already the edge of the Federation, the twenty-fifth life circle (underworld)!
The twenty-fifth life circle is bordered by the old land. It has been fighting for years and the folk customs are extremely tough. It is completely different from the splendid and prosperous Utopia.
The name Huangquan is very unlucky when compared to the Utopia of the Sixth Life Circle. However, when federal citizens chatted privately, they felt that the name Huangquan was very domineering.
In fact, when citizens in the twenty-fifth living circle introduce themselves, they like to call themselves "I, Zhang Fugui, was born in Huangquan, and I, Li Ergou, came from Huangquan..."
——Beier has face!
However, as the uncrowned king of the federation, Shen Bai knew some inside stories that ordinary people didn't know.
Sister Mao'er once told him that among the twenty-eight life circles of the Federation, each name has great significance and carries an important "weapon".
In every life circle, there will be a guardian. In addition to being incomparably powerful, the titles they are given by the world also conform to some iron law.
For example... since the establishment of the Federation, the guardian of the twenty-fifth life circle has been the "Underworld Emperor"!
When Shen Bai heard this, he smiled and joked:
"Sister Mao'er, if I can create the twenty-ninth life circle for human beings in the future, I will name it [The Land of Black and White], so that the world will know that we will always be together... Of course, the premise is my identity No problem, if I am really a freak... then let's talk about it."
——At this time, Shen Bai still didn't know what "human beings have the twenty-ninth circle of life" meant, but Miss Black Cat, who knew everything, believed in her dear one and kissed Shen Bai with a smile.
Closer to home, since the expeditionary force entered the territory of the 25th Life Circle, the pressure they encountered has increased sharply. After all, this place is close to the old land, and the mutant beasts have just rushed down, so they have the most physical strength.
On this day, Shen Bai came back from fighting outside again. He came to the bottom of the fortress and found that the security check here was much stricter than the previous days.
When the private inspected his documents carefully, Shen Bai asked curiously:
"What's going on? I've only been out for three days. Why did the guards become so strict?"
"Report to Lieutenant Colonel Shen." The private saluted and said seriously:
"The day before yesterday, General Qin issued a military order, saying that there may be some abnormal mutants sneaking into the fortress. We must be more vigilant. After all, there is no difference in appearance between our two races. If they really sneak in, it will lead to terrible consequences."
"Oh..." Shen Bai frowned:
"Strange, even if our Shenwu Army cannot completely eliminate the mutants, we have to go through multiple procedures such as face recognition every time we come in. How could there be mutants sneaking in?"
"I've also heard that Lieutenant Colonel Shen, the rumored mutant who sneaked in, has space capabilities..."
Shen Bai's hand shook imperceptibly. Fortunately, the private had a sense of superiority and inferiority and did not dare to stare at his face. Qiao Mianmian, who was closest to Shen Bai, was a careless guy, so no one noticed Shen Bai's abnormal.
After a while, Shen Bai successfully passed the identity check. After giving some instructions to the team members as usual, he came to his room and flushed his face with cold water.
"It can't be such a coincidence to step on a horse..."
He muttered to himself, breaking into a cold sweat.
Finally, Shen Bai made up his mind, locked the room, and sat on the bed alone.
Then he took off his gloves.
One second, five seconds, one minute, five minutes...
Time passed quickly, and just when Shen Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the scene he least wanted to see happened.
The air in the room shattered like a mirror, a slender arm stretched out, and the deformed girl broke through the space and fell onto Shen Bai's bed.
She is still the same as she was more than a month ago, wearing a white fur coat, cute and cute, but there is a very light blood stain on her face, and she is not in good spirits.
The corners of Shen Bai's mouth twitched, and he almost groaned and said hello:
"Miss Wujiangxun...what a coincidence..."
The deformed girl saw Shen Bai, looked around again, and suddenly burst into tears:
"Wuwu, Brother Bai, were you caught by the hateful humans? Did they torture you? Wuwu..."
"Hey, hey, lower your voice." Shen Bai glared at her, tilted his head, and said deliberately:
"I'm not a prisoner. Did you see the ID hanging on the wall? I successfully sneaked into the human race and became a lieutenant colonel! The name on my military ID is Shen Bai!"
"Wow, Brother Bai, you are so awesome!" Wujiang Xun's face was full of stars:
"Being able to disguise yourself as a human is a very useful talent."
Shen Bai nodded with a smile, but his heart sank.
From Wujiang Xun's words, he drew two conclusions.
The first one is that this girl Wujiang Xun is indeed not very smart, she is easy to fool, she can build a good relationship and save it to sell for money later.
Secondly, the "life hole" in the palm of one's hand, as well as the special smell emitted after taking off the gloves, will indeed make the mutants extremely firmly believe that they are of their own race, even if it is so doubtful that they can "become a federal officer" Loopholes will be subconsciously ignored.
I do have the racial characteristics of aberrations!
Woohoo~ It seems that I am getting closer and closer to the limited edition title of "Human Traitor".
It's really good... what a piece of shit!
My adoptive parents are considered to be loyal and loyal. How can the couple rest in peace after adopting such a thing as themselves?
Shen Bai pressed his eyebrows, glanced at the deformed girl with red eyes, and grew evil:
Why don't we kill this girl here? I can get another meritorious service or something, but she is much stronger than me. To do this, I have to call Feng Hua Lian and Liu Tian Cang over...
Wujiang Xun had no idea what the hateful man in front of him was thinking. He just sniffed, his voice full of joy:
"Brother Bai, it's great to have you here. Ever since my brother lost consciousness, I don't know what to do at all..."
Shen Bai was startled and stopped what he was thinking.
Chapter completed!
