Chapter 042: About My Teammates Being Completely Incompetent and Trying to Swarm Me
The temporary command post was located in a small town between Shuchuan City and Qianhe County, about 10 kilometers away from Qianhe County.
It takes about half an hour to get to the town by car.
On the train, Wei Ying's clear voice interrupted the witches' chatter in the telepathic link, "Did you feel it? It's basically confirmed, it's an anomaly."
Luo Xi knew what Wei Ying was asking.
That kind of perception of abnormality.
Whenever something unusual happens, the witches have a kind of intuition-like feeling.
How to describe it? It's like someone setting a fire not far away, and you only caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of your eye.
Then the allure of this fire... is like the little red dot of an unread message, making the witch unable to resist getting closer to look.
Witches also possess a sense of danger, but so far, Luo Xi has neither sensed anything unusual nor any sense of danger.
What a pity, she was still waiting for her teammates to gang up on her.
No danger was detected at all...
Or are these witches all incompetent and unable to put any pressure on us?
"What do you feel?" In the group chat... oh yes, a witch spoke through Wei Ying's mind link.
Judging from his voice, he doesn't seem very intelligent.
"Yeah, I didn't feel anything," replied the witch whose brain was now dominated by muscles.
With a flicker in her eyes, Luo Xi, after careful analysis, arrived at a conclusion.
Higher-level witches can sense abnormal events or dangers earlier than lower-level witches.
He actually thought about this obvious event for a few seconds...
Besides attracting each other and gathering together, do witches also have their IQs pulled down to the same average level?
Don't do this kind of thing!
Seeing that everyone had responded that they had not sensed anything unusual, Luo Xi felt relieved and also replied that she had not sensed anything unusual.
Wait a minute, she couldn't believe it; these witches might be here to ambush her!
"Miss Luo Xi, don't be afraid," Wei Ying's voice rang out in the telepathic connection. "You are the youngest witch among us, and we will take care of you."
……
Luo Xi looked up at Wei Ying, who noticed her gaze and returned a smile that said, "Don't be afraid."
...Speechless.
I am the witch who will be your enemy! No, I am the witch who will be the enemy of all the witches here!
Please, put some pressure on me and stop chattering here, it's really noisy!
The car drove for another several tens of minutes.
At this moment, Luo Xi also sensed the abnormality.
It's definitely an abnormal event.
I just don't know how many levels this anomaly—oh, it's a monster—that has such a wide-ranging impact will allow her to advance.
Whatever, at least there's hope for reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.
The other witches seemed to sense the anomaly as well, and things weren't as lively in Wei Ying's mental link.
They're afraid to speak even though they haven't gotten close to the center of the anomaly, they're only on the edge of the abnormal range?
"Now that's real fear," Luo Xi thought with a cold laugh.
Without an indomitable spirit of facing death head-on, without an unwavering fighting spirit, even those with immense superhuman strength cannot unleash it.
They really are a bunch of noobs.
I suggest you lie down completely and hug her thighs tightly.
Luo Xi stood up with a determined look in her eyes.
She was determined to get the fourth level of Qi Refining!
"You've been keeping your head down and not daring to speak just now," Wei Ying said in a telepathic connection. At the same time, Wei Ying stood up, came to her side, and actually took her hand. "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
I'm really not afraid...
Also, can we kick out people who abuse their power and only think about picking up girls from the team?
Luo Xi's lips twitched slightly; she seemed about to say something but hesitated, and finally just nodded expressionlessly.
"Attention everyone, we are one kilometer away from the area affected by the anomaly. Please remain vigilant."
It was the voice of Wang Xuan, the adjutant that Lieutenant Colonel Peng Tianyou had mentioned during the previous meeting.
I remember it was something like I was supposed to go into the abnormal area with them, act as an advisor, and provide action guidance and tactical advice or something.
Luo Xi was well prepared.
"Now, let's have a witch whose magical property is consciousness transfer, what's her name again? Yao Yao?" Wei Ying asked.
She glanced at Wei Ying suspiciously. Did she not remember all the witches? It seemed that her name was indeed Yao Yao.
"Let Yao Yao establish a mental connection with us. If my mental connection is broken, we will communicate through mental transmission."
"The specific method is to send the information you want to express to Yao Yao, and then Yao Yao will forward it."
"So that's how it is," Luo Xi glanced at Yao Yao and understood.
Yao Yao's magical property—consciousness transmission—seems unsuitable for making phone calls; she can only forward messages.
The witches established a mental connection with Yao Yao one by one. After confirming that the mental communication was working properly, they stopped talking and sat quietly in the car, preparing to enter their destination.
Meanwhile, in a temporary command post a few kilometers away.
"Can they really complete the mission?" Peng Tianyou asked the old man, Wei Jianhong, "After all, they are just a group of girls with no combat experience."
"If it's about handling an abnormal event, then there's no problem," said Wei Jianhong, an elderly man with an imposing presence.
"Witches are born with an extremely low probability in abnormal events. Once a witch is born, her ability to control abnormalities far exceeds the ability of abnormalities to suppress ordinary things."
"The people of Qianhe County..." Peng Tianyou hesitated.
"A merciful general cannot command an army," Wei Jianhong merely glanced at Peng Tianyou, yet despite being an old man, Peng Tianyou felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. "There will be some sacrifices, but this is part of the plan."
"What stage has your research on witches reached?" Peng Tianyou quickly regained his military bearing. "Have you developed an effective plan to completely eliminate witches?"
"To be honest," Wei Jianhong sneered, "in a sense, your research progress is the fastest, after all, you have a real witch behind you."
"You don't have any?" Peng Tianyou retorted coldly. "How's your top-secret project, the artificial witch, the Zero Witch, the witch that can fight witches, the witch that can end witches?"
Wei Jianhong did not answer, but just looked at the person who came in to report.
"Report: Eight action teams are approaching the area affected by the anomaly and are expected to enter the area within one minute!"
"Report: All action team signals have completely disappeared from the map."
……
Watching the person who gave the report leave, Wei Jianhong spoke up, "The ultimate goal of this operation is this witch."
"She's out of control," Wei Jianhong said coldly.
Peng Tianyou's face turned icy. "What exactly did you agree to with the highest authority?"
"The highest directive is that no force or coercion should be used against the witch."
"Unless there are effective means to deal with the witch, this is a rule that both you and we must follow!"
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and Wei Jianhong did not speak, but gazed into the distance, his clothes fluttering slightly in the wind.
