Chapter 25 Dismissal(1/2)
Xiang Chu took a taxi to a small town in the capital of Shu and spent more than 400 yuan on it. Although Xiang Chu was not short of money now, it still made Xiang Chu feel heartache. He had never been so luxurious since he was a child. But fortunately, it was back then.
Qitong helped him deal with the Wolf King skin and the dozens of other wolf skins, and sold them for more than 200,000 yuan, otherwise he would have been reluctant to take a taxi directly.
After getting off the car, Xiang Chu discovered that this small town was located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and was in the shape of a bag. Most of the small town had blue-tiled bungalows. From a distance, there were only one or two two-story small buildings, and they were neatly located.
There are still a few people working in the surrounding fields, and the whole thing looks leisurely and contented, which actually makes it feel like a paradise.
Xiang Chu didn't appreciate the leisurely scenery too much, but took out his phone and dialed Qi Tong's number. Fortunately, Xiang Chu's contact person this time was Qi Tong.
But this also made Xiang Chu somewhat criticized. He and Qi Tong were old acquaintances, but Qi Tong actually didn't give him a ride, wasting more than four hundred yuan.
"Wait at the entrance of the town, I'll be right over."
Qi Tong's speed was very fast, and soon Xiang Chu saw Qi Tong riding a bicycle wearing beach shorts and big sunglasses and riding towards him.
Xiang Chu's mouth twitched, didn't he say he was going to special training? Is Qi Tong dressed like this?
Qi Tong drifted and stopped the car in front of Xiang Chu, "Let's go, get in the car."
Only then did Xiang Chu realize that Qi Tong was not wearing shoes, and his feet were covered with mud. Xiang Chu looked at Qi Tong hesitantly, "Uncle Qi, you..."
Qi Tong followed Xiang Chu's gaze and glanced at his feet, and then waved his hand, "What? Are you afraid of getting your clothes dirty? Get in the car quickly and moan like a girl."
Hearing this, Xiang Chu could only sit on the back seat of the bicycle reluctantly.
"Uncle Qi, please slow down."
Along the way, I met many old people and children on both sides of the street. When these people saw Qi Tong, they all greeted him warmly, and Qi Tong kept responding with a smile on his face.
The two quickly walked through the town and came to a two-story wooden loft with a green mountain on the back.
"Go in and find a place to rest by yourself. There are two more people to wait for. I'll go and get busy first."
Xiang Chu watched Qi Tong abandon the car and run to a farmland. There were several seven or eight-year-old children there. Xiang Chu was also speechless. He stood outside the house without going in, but wanted to see what Qi Tong was doing.
Well.
I saw Qi Tong running straight into the farmland, and then carrying a bucket, he bent over and searched step by step in the farmland.
The corners of Xiang Chu's eyes twitched. He grew up in the countryside. Naturally, he knew what Qi Tong was doing at a glance. He was also a little speechless. Qi Tong was also a master of the meridian realm, and he was as happy to catch things in the fields as a child.
These loaches!
After watching for a while, Xiang Chu didn't continue. It was almost noon now. The sun was gradually rising and the sunlight was a bit harsh. So he checked to make sure no one was paying attention and walked up to the attic to look for himself.
I drank some water and sat on the balcony of the attic, watching Qi Tong and the children cheering in the fields.
Time gradually passed, and the sun was now in the middle. Several shouts were heard in the distance. After hearing the words, the children said goodbye to Qi Tong, and then ran towards the town with their small buckets.
At this time, Qi Tong also stood up, wiped and shouted, weighed the bucket in his hand, and then walked back with a happy face.
"I will starve to death if you don't come back." Xiang Chu said with resentment on his face when he saw Qi Tong walking in.
Qi Tong's face turned red and he said awkwardly: "Haha, it's so hard to come here, but I kind of forgot about the time."
"There are some instant noodles in there. It's in the cabinet on the right side of the living room. You can get two buckets to make them." Qi Tong looked at Xiang Chu and said, then walked toward the back of the attic with the buckets.
Xiang Chu rolled his eyes and turned around to find instant noodles...
"Uncle Qi, you said before that there are two more people?" Xiang Chu took a big mouthful of instant noodles and said vaguely.
Qi Tong nodded, "Yes, you don't think you are the only one in the whole Shu." Qi Tong raised his head and looked at Xiang Chu strangely.
Xiang Chu blushed when he heard this, and he understood what Qi Tong's eyes meant. In fact, he really felt that he was the only one, but he didn't want to admit it, "How is it possible? I just thought that everyone was independent."
Go over there."
Qi Tong nodded, but did not expose Xiang Chu, and said: "You can take advantage of these two people. One is an officer from the Shu capital military department, and the other is from the Inspection Department. They have no background like you."
Xiang Chu rolled his eyes when he heard this and secretly complained, what does it mean to have no background like me? My family has no background, but I just accepted a big shot in the Inner Breath Realm as my teacher, and my teacher also has a sect.
Of course, Xiang Chu only complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"You are all from the same place, so essentially you need to be close to each other. Once you have established a good relationship, you will be taken care of there."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Qi."
The two of them finished the two buckets of instant noodles in a few minutes, and then went to take a nap.
…
"Is anyone there?"
I don't know how long it took, but a shout rang out, waking up Xiang and Chu.
Xiang Chu looked at the time and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Then Xiang Chu got out of bed and walked to the door.
Seeing Xiang Chu coming out, Qi Tong said: "Go and get the bag, there is another person coming soon."
Xiang Chu didn't say anything and turned back to get his bag. He came out soon and saw a man with a resolute face wearing black short-sleeves, overalls, and a pair of military boots. He looked to be about 27 or 28 years old.
"Hello, my name is Xiang Chu, and I am also participating in the training camp this time." Before Qi Tong could speak, Xiang Chu quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
The man was standing upright, but when he saw Xiang Chu's enthusiasm, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a hearty smile, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is He Yi, from the military department."
Xiang Chu became even more eager when he heard this. He stood next to He Yi and asked questions. In his last life, he wanted to join the army, but he failed the physical examination because of scars. Now that he saw a real soldier, Xiang Chu naturally
Somewhat excited.
Soon a girl walked over from the town carrying a bag.
"Uncle Qi, is this the last person we are waiting for?" Xiang Chu asked.
He Yi glanced at Xiang Chu when he heard this, and then stopped talking.
"Yes, it's her, Inspector Guo Ruoruo."
After Guo Ruoruo arrived, the three of them got to know each other again, and then they all looked at Qi Tong, waiting for his arrangements.
Qi Tong looked at the three people who had just remembered him, and just rolled his eyes. He didn't care about the small matter of not greeting him first when he arrived, and said: "My name is Qi Tong, and I am your pick-up person this time."
"I won't introduce anything else. You have also gotten to know each other. I hope you will remember the word unity here."
"Okay, now hand over all the electronic devices you have."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chu and the others immediately took out their mobile phones and other electronic devices and handed them to Qi Tong.
Qi Tong glanced at it and put it in his pocket. Then he took out three black hoods and threw them to Xiang Chu and the others, "Put this on."
Xiang Chu and the others didn't waste any time and put them on directly. Then the three of them felt someone coming to them.
"Don't worry, just follow them."
The three of them could only be led along the way. They couldn't see any way, and they had passed through the jungle, so they were all a little embarrassed at this time, especially Xiang Chu. He was wearing the most casual clothes and had been scratched by branches at this time.
A lot of damage.
Everyone walked for about half an hour before they stopped. Then they felt like they were being pushed onto the plane.
…
The three of them wore hoods all the time and were in a dark environment, and no one spoke, so the three of them fell asleep separately after getting on the plane. I don't know how long it took before the three of them were jostled and woke up.
"We're here, let's get down."
As soon as the words rang out, the three people's hoods were taken off. Xiang Chu squinted slightly, and after adapting to the light, he began to see more of the environment through the window, but it was pitch black outside.
"Stop looking, go down and take a look." A masked man in uniform said.
Immediately, the three people were pushed down. As soon as the three people got off, the helicopter took off and flew away, leaving only the three people at a loss.
"Huh? Isn't this just an open space? Is this the place? There's no one there." Xiang Chu said doubtfully after observing the surrounding area.
It was pitch black all around, but I could barely see the mountains and forests not far away.
He Yi heard the words and also observed the surrounding environment. At the same time, he lowered his body and touched the weeds under his feet.
"This should be on an island."
Xiang Chu was stunned and looked at He Yi doubtfully.
At this time, Guo Ruoruo also nodded and said: "This is indeed an island, and it is in a lower dimension."
Now Xiang Chu was even more confused. You all know it, but I don't know it? But Xiang Chu didn't ask, just looked at He Yi, and He Yi didn't disappoint him, and continued: "The air here is very strong.
It has a fishy sea smell, and the vegetation is very humid, and there is also a hint of heat. It is almost the end of October, and only low-latitude islands can have this kind of environment."
Xiang Chu suddenly realized it and asked: "Then what should we do now? This situation should be a test for us, right?"
He Yi and Guo Ruoruo both shook their heads, "They didn't give us any hints, so we can't guess what it means."
"But it's definitely not a good thing to see this situation." He Yi observed the surroundings with sharp eyes, and Guo Ruoruo also watched the surroundings without saying a word.
Xiang Chu didn't dare to be careless when he saw this. Although he had experience in surviving in the wild, compared to the two big bosses from the Military Department and the Inspection Department, he was just a novice. So when Xiang Chu saw the two men on guard, his muscles all over his body tensed up.
Look around.
The three of them were alert for a long time, but except for the sounds of some animals and the roar of the sea breeze, there was nothing unusual around them.
The three of them looked at each other, and He Yi was the first to say: "How about we go into the woods and have a look?"
"The three of us are acting together. Everything is unknown now. We must not leave alone." Guo Ruoruo heard this and looked at Xiang Chu and added.
Xiang Chu nodded obediently when he heard this, and then the three of them walked slowly towards the gloomy woods.
