I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 140
After hearing Zhu Taran's words, Xu Ling's mood could no longer be described as shock.

What caused the nineteen animal hordes overnight was not a natural phenomenon, not a herd of animals migrating, not a change in the environment, but a single person?

He couldn't imagine what kind of person would be able to single-handedly trigger animal hordes of different sizes across the country.

If it was caused by human beings, why should the culprit be sentenced to be shot ten times?
Seeing his reaction, Zhu Taran was not surprised. After seeing that there was no one else in the corridor, he leaned over and continued in a small voice: "This is just a conjecture, and there is no [-]% proof, but I personally think He has a lot to do with the beast tide."

Xu Ling was still in shock, but the three of them had already walked through the corridor to the other end of the highest floor of the military building.

I saw a thick alloy gate appeared in front of me, and two guards stood beside it. When the chief came, they saluted in unison without any extra words.

Fu Zheng nodded, and entered the password for the electronic lock. The double alloy door opened smoothly, and he walked in first.

Xu Ling followed, and there seemed to be a ward inside the door, with a middle-aged woman in a white coat outside, staring at the electrocardiogram on the screen in front of her.

Seeing Fu Zheng coming in, she hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Chief."

"Well, how's it going?"

"The situation is gradually stabilizing, but he has not fully regained consciousness. He should wake up in a few days."

The female doctor answered the question and looked at the other two at the same time. She had seen Zhu Taran many times, and she was not surprised at all, but she didn't understand the young man who followed him. He was just a captain by looking at the badge. Why? Can you come to this kind of place with two big guys?

However, although she is a doctor, she is also a soldier, so she was surprised but didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Ling's attention was not here, his eyes had passed through the glass wall outside, and turned to the hospital bed inside, on which lay a sleeping person, if he was not mistaken, it should be a man.

From this angle, even with a quilt covering his body, it is easy to see that this person is very tall. In addition, his skin is very white, and there is no hair on his smooth big head, which shines brightly under the lamp.

But because of the tricky angle and the distance, Xu Ling really didn't see anything special about this person.

Fu Zheng picked up the documents at the doctor's hand and looked at them. In the end, without saying anything, he led the people out of this place and returned to the office.

After closing the door, Zhu Taran nudged Xu Ling with his elbow: "Did you not find the problem?"

"Not really, how do you know?"

Zhu Taran laughed: "Because if you really see the key point, it's impossible to be so calm now."

Xu Ling was not convinced: "Then what do you say is the key point? I still don't believe it. A big living person can shock someone like me."

Fu Zheng saw two young people bickering with him, he felt it was funny, he couldn't help interjecting: "Didn't you see that that person doesn't look like us Xia people?"

Xu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked on the spot.

Fuck!foreigners?

On this world line, a foreigner who hasn't appeared in more than 100 years, unexpectedly appeared at this time? ?
Standing far away just now, I couldn't see clearly, now after being reminded, I remembered that the man's white skin and big frame really looked like a foreigner's physical features, but he couldn't see his facial features clearly from a distance, otherwise he should have noticed it just now.

Zhu Taran smiled triumphantly: "Xu, that's it?"

Fu Zheng broke the stage and said, "When you got the news, it was not too different from Xiao Xu."

"cough."

Zhu Taran coughed dryly, and then nudged Xu Ling with his elbow: "Hey, what's the matter? This news is amazing, our overseas transfer this time is really different from before."

What Xu Ling was thinking about was not overseas investigations, which kind of thing should be worried about by a tall man. What he cared about was the successive changes, including the good graduation situation this year, the unprecedented animal tide, and the sudden Does the foreigner have anything to do with his time travel?

Could this be the impact of the world line change?With Xia Guo's power, he has gone out of the country more than ten times without gaining anything. How could this person walk through the occupied area alone to find this place?What purpose does he have, is it an enemy or a friend?

There were too many questions, it took Xu Ling a while to calm down, and then asked: "Then why do you think this person is related to the appearance of the beast horde?"

"Because this person was just found by our people at the southern border, and within six hours, the first wave of beasts began to attack the border. He himself is incredible enough, plus a large-scale beast that has never appeared Tide, it’s hard not to associate the two things together.”

Zhu Taran replied with a bit of shock in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing the mood when he heard the news that day.

Xu Ling digested it for a while. Judging from this, Zhu Taran's conjecture is really possible, but there is no basis for it. The truth may only be known after the foreigner wakes up.

"Then, is there really no problem after I know this?"

Xu Ling began to worry about his safety again, always feeling that if he was not careful, he would be invited somewhere to drink tea.

Fu Zheng reassured again: "It's okay, this matter is indeed classified, but after he wakes up, we will interrogate the necessary information, and it will definitely be disclosed within the investigation team, but you just don't tell others for the time being."

Zhu Taran leaned on his shoulder, threatening in a gloomy tone: "You have already signed the non-disclosure agreement, if you dare to leak it casually... Beihe High Prison is not far from here."

In the end, when Xu Ling left the military headquarters and returned to the investigation team's station, he still hadn't completely recovered from his surprise.

The country has not been in contact with any foreign forces or civilizations for a hundred years.

Before parting, Zhu Taran asked again: "How is the Jiuxuan Jin?"

Xu Ling replied casually: "The second floor is about to break through."

This time it was Zhu Taran's turn to be shocked: "Second floor? You, while practicing this thing, you raised your force index to 3.33?!"

As we all know, among various physical indicators, strength has the least impact on the force index. If Xu Ling spends most of his time practicing Jiuxuan Jin, it will inevitably slow down the improvement of other qualities in theory.

But if this is just a theory, if you use the theory to frame a hacker, the result will not be credible.

After such a reminder, Xu Ling also remembered that his second level of Jiuxuan Jin had also reached the bottleneck. At this time, he needed more energy to break through, but he quickly put the thought behind him, anyway. The system will be properly planned.

Back in the dormitory, Xie Yilang began to practice martial arts again, doing push-ups in the room with a [-]-jin alloy weight bag on his back.

"O old enemy."

He stood up, raised his chin and looked at Xu Ling, "What did you do?"

Xu Ling thought he was going to make some bold words again, but he didn't expect such a commonplace question.

"It's nothing, I went out for a walk. By the way, does our logistics team have a casting master?"

Hearing his question, Xie Yilang tilted his head and thought for a while: "Yes, I remember that I hired someone from Chunlin Xiangshi to be in charge of our weapon forging. I heard that he is a very powerful master."

In fact, the purpose of the investigation team's hiring of the foundry was mainly to serve senior military officers, so the specifications were not low.

After all, rookies and low-level sergeants often choose low-level magic crystal technology products, and there is no need to bother to raise materials for casting by themselves. People like Xu Ling who have no family background to provide funds, but can get high-end materials are outliers.

After getting the exact news, Xu Ling felt relieved, lay down on the bed after washing up, and calculated his equipment quota.

As a private for eight months, 20 per month, the captain’s 80 in the first month has not yet been issued, the total is 240 million, and 20 in cash. Fei, I will ask the price tomorrow first.

The next day, he got up early, and went straight to the logistics team without even eating.

"Do you want to strengthen the magic crystal technology?"

The officer in charge of the registration glanced at Xu Ling's badge and found that it was a captain. It was a little strange at first, but after looking at his young face, he probably knew who it was, and his attitude slowed down a bit, "You are from the reserve team. Xu Ling? Do you want to strengthen something? Do you have any materials?"

Now, he has a good name in the survey team's resident, after all, he is the one who broke the record for newcomers.

Xu Ling answered the other party's question, the officer thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment."

After a few minutes, an elderly and skinny old man came out from behind: "Where's the thing? Take a look."

The old man seemed to have a bad temper, and his attitude was not so friendly, and he spoke coldly.

Seeing the other party like this, Xu Ling didn't want to put his hot face on the cold butt, but silently took out the throwing knife and Wuyingfeng, and was about to explain, but saw the other party's eyes lit up, and spoke first.

"Wuyingfeng?! This thing is rare, where did you get it. Flying knife... so-so, but the base is clean, it should only have a little bit of tail hair of the magic-eyed flamingo, which can be strengthened, what can I ask you?" , where did it come from?"

A few words are enough to show that the other party is indeed very professional.

But Xu Ling was not very happy when he heard his words in such a bad tone: "Why, I have to tell you where the materials are obtained to strengthen the weapon?"

The old man paused, his duty was to forge equipment for all members of the overseas investigation team, of course he couldn’t refuse, so he had to put on a reluctant smile: “I’m just curious, tell me, shadowless bees are rare now gone."

Seeing that his attitude had changed, Xu Ling stopped thinking about it and replied truthfully, "I don't know, General Zhu gave it to me."

"Wow, who wished the general?" the old man asked, swallowing his saliva.

"There is only one General Zhu in our investigation team, right?"

At this time, the old man finally didn't dare to pretend, and made a gesture: "Ahem, this way."

The two walked into the inner room. It was also the first time Xu Ling saw the casting site. Unlike what he had imagined, the windows here were bright and clean. There was no large furnace that needed coal blasting, but a semi-automatic production line that only needed to be used with a knob. You can adjust the firepower.

You don't have to swing your arms to do it yourself, there is an automatic mechanical arm that can do it for you.

The old man rubbed his hands together: "Hey, you can just call me Old Xiang, you just need to integrate Wuyingfeng into this throwing knife, right?"

Xu Ling nodded.

"Come on, we have several different overflowing magic crystals for bonding here, you can choose."

Xu Ling felt very novel. He didn't expect there to be so many ways. He walked to a cabinet and saw a few trays inside. The magic crystals of different shapes and colors were indeed placed on them.

"This one comes from a magic horned rhinoceros, third-grade, but I don't recommend it, it's too brittle and not suitable for use as a royal sword."

Although Lao Xiang has a bad temper, he is still very professional, and he can tell at a glance what Xu Ling needs most.

"This one, Tier [-] Great Ape, rubbish, I still don't recommend it."

Xu Ling smiled helplessly: "Just say which one you recommend."

Lao Xiang pointed to the golden overflowing magic crystal the size of the last fingernail and said: "Fourth grade, very adaptable, light and flexible, with a little flame attribute, it is most suitable for your flying knife, the only one The downside is that it's expensive."

"How much?" When Xu Ling heard that it was a question of money, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Lao Xiang scratched the goatee on his chin: "I don't make a difference. Yimojing is an internal price, and the labor cost is also the minimum standard. If you choose this, it will add up to 220 million."

When Xu Ling heard it, he immediately felt that it was worth it. Even if the fourth-order overflow magic crystal is the size of a fingernail, it would cost more than 150 million to circulate in the market. Now it is only 220 million including labor costs. This internal price is really good.

He thought for a while and said, "The cash difference is 40, but the quota will be released in half a month, and it will be enough at that time."

Lao Xiang said: "The survey team doesn't have an advance payment system, but well, our foundry industry also has rules, pay half of the deposit first, and pay the final payment after the finished product is released. It's about half a month, and the final payment will be used to pick up the goods. Just do it."

Xu Ling thought that it would take a long time, and it would take half a month just to strengthen it, but the time was right, so he agreed directly.

"Old man, um, how many levels do you think this thing can reach after it has been strengthened?"

Lao Xiang stroked his beard and said, "If you're lucky, you'll be level four."

Xu Ling's eyes lit up. As expected of a level-[-] material, he had the opportunity to directly upgrade the mediocre throwing knife to level-[-]. He began to look forward to what kind of finished product he would get in half a month.

Back in the dormitory, I saw a group of friends, including Meng Chi, gathered downstairs.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Zhixing turned around and said, "I was just calling to ask where you are. I have nothing to do in the past two days. We plan to go to the military department to check the secret files within the authority. Are you interested?"

When Xu Ling heard it, he was very interested. He just learned about the secret yesterday, and was about to look for information to see if there was anything related to it.

"Let's go then."

Everyone was ready to go, but Meng Chi said sullenly, "I, I don't want to go. There are new dishes in the cafeteria today. I want to eat."

The others were speechless for a while. In the eyes of this guy, eating is more important than anything else.

At this time, Xu Ling suddenly received a system prompt.

[Mission objective: Meng Chi, comprehensive force index 2.71, comprehensive quality evaluation, excellent/rare +. ]
[Task content: The target consults a secret file. ]
[Task Reward: Host Energy +1. ]
