The first expedition team to the bottom area of ​​the ruins has been assembled.

Nan Yingjian, who arrived belatedly, was the last member of the expedition team to arrive at the ruins base, but he immediately took over the position of captain of the expedition team. Before that, the original captain was Yin Cheng.

Of course, the captaincy that Nan Yingjian took over was only temporary. She would leave the team on her own after leading the team through that corridor, and then the responsibility of the captain would still fall on Yincheng's shoulders.

As old partners, it goes without saying that Yincheng and Nan Yingjian have a tacit understanding with each other, but this time they are bringing Bai Jin and the others with them.

These three people are not soldiers and have no cooperation with each other.

So Nan Yingjian decided that two people would be responsible for one, and the others would be responsible for support to prevent accidents.

Qi Xinlan and Li Shuran had no objection to this arrangement, but Bai Jin and Nan Yingjian were not on the same page.

As soon as the two met, they were at odds with each other, "praising" each other and each other's relatives and friends.

If Xue Ming hadn't appeared in time, the two men might have fought.

Fortunately, Nan Yingjian's mind was not on the quarrel at all, and the matter was settled. However, Bai Jin still refused to accept Nan Yingjian's arrangement. She had to rely on her own ability to pass through the time-space dislocation corridor at the entrance.

…

"I've never been so angry with anyone, what's wrong?" Yincheng was about to leave tomorrow morning, so Yincheng went to Nan Yingjian to ask about what happened during the day.

Nan Yingjian was packing her things. Looking at the big and small bags, she seemed to be going on a trip instead of going on an adventure.

"I just can't stand her eldest lady's behavior and whatnot. Why do you really think we can't touch their Bai family!" Nan Yingjian's temper was really bad today.

Yin Cheng grinned: "That's what I say, but she is also one of the members, so she has to take the overall situation into consideration."

Nan Yingjian packed up her clothes, then raised her head, looked at Yincheng with her hands on her hips and said, "Okay, we'll go our separate ways after we go in, and I won't be able to see her anymore. You can take care of yourself."

Yincheng sighed upon hearing this and asked tentatively: "Can't you really say that?"

"say what?"

"Don't pretend to be confused. What special mission did Han give you?"

Nan Yingjian was a little displeased when he heard this and said, "Whose surname is Han? That's your immediate boss, please be careful what you say!"

Yin Chengque didn't care: "That's not the point. Now I just want to know why I want you to go again. Didn't you die once before?"

After hearing this, Nan Yingjian burst into laughter: "Why did you die once? It was in the bunker space, not in reality. Besides, without me to lead the way, do you know how to find the 'Forerunner Cloud Atlas'?"

"have no idea."

"Well, that's it."

"But what I want to ask is not why you went down, but where are you going?" Yincheng was a little anxious.

This is the first time Nan Yingjian has seen Yincheng like this.

She was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I will talk to you about this when I come back. I can't talk about it now."

"Why?!"

"Oh! Why why why! Why have you become so mother-in-law, like a woman!? Do I need to report to you where I am going? Ah?" Nan Yingjian was a little angry.

Yin Cheng looked at Nan Yingjian silently, nodded after a long time and said: "Okay, then... take care of yourself..." With that, Yin Cheng left.

When Nan Yingjian was left alone, Nan Yingjian clenched her fists several times and sighed deeply.

…

Early the next morning, there were still three hours before departure.

Bai Jin, who hadn't slept all night, put on her pajamas and arrived at the place where Li Shuran had shouted stupidly before.

Looking at the still sleepy Frahaiya Prairie, Bai Jin took a deep breath, made a trumpet with her hands, and then shouted loudly into the distance: "Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

In the morning light, Bai Jin's voice sounded far, far away.

Nan Yingjian, who seldom slept, glanced at Bai Jin's back, snorted coldly, and carried the box to the submarine.

Yincheng also got up early. He ran around the base for more than ten laps as usual, and then went to the locker room sweating profusely.

I met Li Shuran at the gate of Yincheng.

Li Shuran looked at Yincheng in surprise and said, "Major? Do you still retain the habit of running in the morning?"

Yincheng didn't want to talk to him at first, but then he thought about how he might have to get along with this person for a long time. It wouldn't be good to ignore him completely, so he nodded and said, "Yes, turning off all auxiliary systems can make me feel better."

I’m still alive.”

Li Shuran said "Oh" clearly, then smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. If you want this sense of reality, there are many ways."

"Oh? Really?" Yincheng probably guessed what he was going to say next, so he said it for him: "Is it hypnosis?"

However, Li Shuran shook his head and said with a smile: "Hypnosis is only a short-term experience. In fact, the simplest way is to turn on your pain system."

"Pain sensing system?" Yincheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, I think...as a border guard officer, you must often fight against various enemies. Under normal circumstances, the enhanced soldiers on active duty will enhance their combat effectiveness by turning off or artificially suppressing the perception of the pain system. This

Although this method of improving combat effectiveness is good, it can easily cause psychological barriers to soldiers, the most common characteristic of which is that they lose the concept of life."

After hearing these words, Yincheng gained something, but he had no intention of continuing to chat with Li Shuran.

"Well, that's a good idea, thank you for your suggestion.

"Said Yincheng and went to the locker room.

Li Shuran didn't bother, just smiled and said: "You're welcome."

…

By around eight o'clock, almost everyone had arrived except Qi Xinlan.

After contacting the ruins, they said Qi Xinlan was not inside the ruins.

The sudden disappearance of an important member caught everyone off guard.

After repeated confirmations with the administrator of the ruins several times, Yincheng confirmed that Qi Xinlan left the ruins at around 11 o'clock last night, but judging from the records, he did not come to the base after leaving the ruins.

"I have already reported the situation here to the superiors. I think we will know where he went in a while." Xue Ming's face didn't look good.

Yincheng looked even more indifferent.

This operation has not gone smoothly since he arrived at the base, and now he has "lost someone" inexplicably, which really hurts morale.

Bai Jin was also very anxious. She asked Xue Mingdao: "Minister, what should we do if we find him?"

This issue is very critical. The original plan was indeed made by backup personnel, but at that time I did not expect to lose an experienced archaeological expert.

Xue Ming frowned and pondered for a while before saying: "Don't be anxious, wait for the feedback results from the star system first."

Bai Jin said: "But Minister, the entrance to the ruins is not accessible at any time. If we miss this 'window period', we may have to wait a year or even longer next time!"

Of course Xue Ming also knew that. He looked at Bai Jin and then looked at the crowd and said, "What are your opinions?"

Yincheng said: "emmmmm... Without Professor Qi, there will indeed be a lot of trouble, and the harvest may be reduced a lot... But this 'window period' issue... I agree with Bai Jin's opinion, we can't waste this opportunity.

.”

Xue Ming looked at Nan Yingjian again.

As the current leader of the expedition team, Nan Yingjian looked absent-minded. She did not even join the channels of several people.

Xue Ming frowned and asked, "Colonel Nan, what's your opinion?"

Only then did Nan Yingjian come back to her senses. She looked at Xue Ming, then at the others, and then asked a very strange question: "Have you... asked about the smell of blood in the air?

"

"Bloody smell?!" Yincheng sniffed hard. His perception system had also been strengthened, but he did not smell the bloody smell.

"No? Where did the bloody smell come from?!" Yin Cheng asked.

Nan Yingjian stood up and looked towards the north side of the base. Far, far away from the base was the ancient mountain range covered with ice and snow - Galloland.

She frowned and stared at the mountains in the distance.

Everyone's attention was also diverted.

Xue Ming reacted quickly. He had already notified the Interstellar Army and asked them to pay attention to the changes in the Galloland Mountains.

Judging from the real-time feedback image information, the Galloland Mountains have not changed much. They are as quiet as a giant that will never wake up, except for the occasional avalanche, which seems to be snoring.

Xue Ming looked at the time and reminded: "Colonel, we don't have much time, we have to make a decision as soon as possible."

However, Nan Yingjian just walked towards the north of the base step by step, as if something in the distant Galoran Mountains was calling her.

Bai Jin glanced at Yincheng, who immediately understood. He stepped forward to stop Nan Yingjian and said, "Hey, Xiao Jian, wake up! Are we done yet?"

Nan Yingjian raised her head and glanced at Yincheng and said: "I'm awake, don't remind me." After saying that, she bypassed Yincheng and continued walking forward, and changed her form as she walked. Her vision module changed to

distance mode.

Others did not see as far as she did, but they vaguely felt that the mountains in the distance were changing.

Li Shuran was the most "ordinary" one in the team, but he was the first to recognize Nan Ying Jianxian. He said seriously: "It's the smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood... It seems like something is coming."
To be continued...
