Chapter 872:1 Know a Kind of Bedtime Exercise (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
When she came back to her senses, Bai Ying noticed the shock in her teammate’s eyes, so she quickly asked, “What happened just now?”
One of the team members said hesitantly, “Captain, you, you just…
After hearing the explanation, Bai Ying’s clear eyes widened instantly. She looked at Shen Ping. ”D-Did you hypnotize me?”
“That’s right. Captain Bai, don’t be angry. Captain Xiong arranged for me to come over, so I have to show my skills. This way, it will be easier for everyone to cooperate in the future.” Shen Ping looked at Bai Ying’s chest heaving up and down in the tight black battle suit and said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, I didn’t ask anything overboard.”
The rest of the team members distanced themselves from Shen Ping. Even Bai Ying subconsciously took a few steps back. As the youngest captain of the Transcendent team, she was very confident in her mental strength. In the end, she was actually hypnotized by an ordinary person.
Moreover, with such an unbelievable hypnosis ability, if there was no one around, wouldn’t it be easy for the other party to do something? It was too terrifying. Fortunately, he was from the other teams. Otherwise, if they were enemies, no matter how strong their modified warriors were, they would definitely not be a match for such people.
Phew. Bai Ying took a deep breath. “Shen Ping, you do have the ability to help
Let’s do something first.”
With that, she took the lead and walked towards another pa.s.sageway in the cave. Shen Ping followed behind and took the opportunity to ask about these relatively confidential matters.
“Ever since Captain Xiong reported the super-infected body, we have come here and explored the cave. The entire cave extends in all directions. It should be an underground dark net specially built by the Heretic and other evil cultists.
“This kind of dark web can’t be completely explored with technological means. Some places can easily block any signal. Even if some nanomachines are used, they will be interfered with. However, the heretics are too strong. After a discussion among the higher-ups of the team, we decided to explore deeper
today.”
Bai Ying looked at Shen Ping and said softly, “Originally, our plan was for you to stay outside and help look after some items. However, since your hypnosis ability is so strong, it’s better for you to enter with us so that we can take care of each other.
“Of course, if you’re afraid, you can leave the cave now and stay with the guards outside.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “If I was afraid, I wouldn’t have come in with you.”
The team moved along the pa.s.sageway. The entire cave pa.s.sageway was very dry, and there was no strange smell in the air. However, the deeper they went, the more water there was in the air. In some places, water even dripped.
“Captain Bai, do you feel like we’ve met before?” he said half-jokingly.
The other four modified warriors looked at each other and thought to themselves that Captain Xiong’s subordinate was really bold. He even dared to flirt with the most famous th.o.r.n.y rose in their demon hunting team.
Bai Ying was speechless. “Member Shen Ping, you’d better understand our current situation. This is the underground dark web of the heretics. It’s extremely dangerous. Not to mention an ordinary person like you, even modified warriors like us might lose our lives.”
Shen Ping shrugged. “So what? We can’t stop chatting just because it’s dangerous, right? Besides, I’m trying to ease the tension so that everyone can better deal with unexpected situations.”
Bai Ying stopped in her tracks. “Member Shen Ping, if you continue to talk about things that has nothing to do with this operation, please go back immediately.”
Shen Ping looked at the completely unfamiliar exquisite face and thought to himself that when he returned after this world ended, he would teach her a lesson. However, he said, “Since Captain Bai says so, I can only listen to your instructions.”
So the team went on down.
When they came to the seventh fork, Bai Ying hesitated. Their team had detected this place and used technology to probe further. There were more than ten forks below, and every fork was deep. The detector could only detect the areas covered.
According to the situation of the Dark Network, there were a total of three main directions that extended down. If they wanted to reach the covered area efficiently, separating was the best way. However, if they separated, the danger would increase greatly.
“The six of us will form a team of two. 1’11 bring Shen Ping. You guys split into two teams. Remember, when you reach the area covered by the signal, don’t act on your own. Just monitor and guard it first.”
“Yes, Captain.”
The six of them split up. Shen Ping followed Bai Ying to the fork in the middle. Before he could speak, Bai Ying said, “Don’t talk so much. The heretics won’t easily set up a dark net. There must be something special deep in this mountain range, so the heretics must be inside. From the moment we entered the dark net, they knew and would arrange for the evil cultists to attack at any time.”
She took out an object that looked like a flashlight from her tactical backpack. “This is a defensive energy storage flashlight. If there’s an attack, press the b.u.t.ton on it immediately. It will form a pulse that can interfere with the senses of evil cultists.”
Shen Ping put it away and smiled. “Thank you for your concern, Captain Bai.” Bai Ying rolled her eyes. “I just don’t want to see you die worthlessly. Ordinary evil cultists don’t have much destructive power. They’re only slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, level-three evil cultists and above have shocking destructive power. Under the modification of the virus’ energy carrier, they have reached the limit of the human body. Even if I could sense it in advance, the other party might rush over at this time. You’re on your own.” He chuckled and followed as he looked at her tight a.s.s. Five hours later, the three teams arrived safely at the area covered by the signal. During this period, there were no evil cultists disturbing them.
Bai Ying reminded the team through the team channel, “Don’t be careless. Set up the surveillance equipment and send it to the higher-ups of the team at the same time. Listen to the instructions of the higher-ups.”
Bai Ying contacted her superiors after installing the monitoring device. A moment pa.s.sed, her expression turned solemn.
Shen Ping asked, “What did the superior say?”
Bai Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, “The higher-ups asked us to enter the area covered by the signal to investigate further. In the past, there were very few heretics in Qinghe City. According to the similar situation in other cities, the heretics had built a dark net in this low mountain range. It’s very likely for the sake of the Thousand Microfilm Colony.
“The colonies are a kind of container that can store a large amount of viral energy carriers. Most importantly, the colonies contain precious sacrificial patterns.”
In fact, modified warriors would not reveal such information to ordinary members of the Transcendent Group. It was just that Shen Ping’s hypnosis was too strong, so she took the initiative to say it to prevent him from hypnotizing her out of curiosity.
Of course, there was a special device on her black armor that could monitor all the surrounding images. If Shen Ping really dared to do that, he would definitely be punished later.
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. He now knew what the sacrificial diagram represented. The more precious it was, the higher the level of the mutated energy obtained from the sacrifice.
“In that case, those heretics did not have many sacrificial diagrams?
Bai Ying glanced at Shen Ping. “The oldest sacrificial diagrams were obtained from Thousand Microfilm Colonies and other items. Evil cultists were not born with them. The earliest evil cultists came into contact with such special bacteria and became evil cultists. Some had a strong will to control the virus and gradually developed a powerful organization. Alright, you can stay here. I’m not even confident that I can deal with the signal.
Shen Ping shook his head. “That won’t do, Captain Bai, don’t underestimate me. I can’t deal with the heretics, but ordinary evil cultists will still be hypnotized by me. At that time, it will save a lot of trouble. And I feel like I’ve met Captain Bai before. Maybe we were a couple in our previous life!”
Bai Ying said angrily, “Why are you still joking at a time like this? If you want to die, then follow me!”
After saying that, she headed towards the other teams. Shen Ping followed closely behind. Half an hour later, the team regrouped..
