The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

A few hours later, the joint search and rescue team successfully rescued most of the missing soldiers in the strange incident on Line 3, but now they have to face the second problem, which is how to deal with the high-level strange "Four-Unlike Creature" that was wreaking havoc near the ruins of the Penguin Building.

Because according to the intelligence provided by Qian Weiguo, a large amount of strategic resources were stored in the temporary base of the New God Cult. Although they successfully led the "Si Bu Xiang" away from the temporary base of the New God Cult through the chariot plan, according to the destructive power of the "Si Bu Xiang" at this time, the top of the temporary base would be flattened sooner or later.

Once the area above the New Cult's temporary base is razed to the ground, it will not be easy to go deeper underground to get those resources.

Therefore, Deng Yuqi believed that it was necessary to find a way to lead the "Si Bu Xiang" away from the No. 3 defense line and prepare in advance for the subsequent closure of the temporary base of the New God Cult.

Just when Deng Yuqi was worrying about the problem of the "Four-Unlike Monster", a member of the reconnaissance team suddenly came to report that the "Four-Unlike Monster" had suddenly died, and then with a flash of white light, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Disappear?" Deng Yuqi frowned.

The investigator nodded quickly: "Yes, it disappeared. It just vanished out of thin air in a flash, along with the white light."

"How could such a bizarre thing happen?" Not only Deng Yuqi, but several captains present had never seen such a bizarre thing.

In any case, the disappearance of the "Si Bu Xiang" is great news for the joint rescue team and even the shelter.

Deng Yuqi no longer worried about why the "Si Bu Xiang" disappeared, and directly assembled a joint rescue team under the leadership of Qian Weiguo to go to the temporary shelter of the New God Cult.

At noon the next day, after Deng Yuqi arranged patrols around the New God Cult's temporary shelter, he transferred a troop from the shelter to build defensive fortifications.

Because after inspecting the temporary base of the New God Cult last night, she suddenly felt that this temporary base built on a research institute was of great strategic value, and many research facilities that were not suitable for moving were very valuable, so she planned to transform it into an outpost for the exploration team.

But this is the temporary base of the New God Cult after all. It is almost impossible to seize this strategic location under the pressure from above, so Deng Yuqi decided to act first and report later, and only report after the defensive offensive is completed and the exploration team has fully moved in.

As for why the construction team was dispatched to leave the shelter, Deng Yuqi's reason was very simple. After the "Si Bu Xiang" caused extensive damage to the urban area, the construction team was necessary for more in-depth rescue.

Since the operation was carried out in secret, Deng Yuqi only used the veterans of the exploration team and assigned work to the construction team without telling them what they were doing.

Just as the construction team was methodically building fortifications, two patrolling members stopped a man who was trying to enter the work area.

"Stop, who are you and what are you doing here?"

The man was about to answer the patrolman's question when someone next to him recognized him first: "Shen Ge, it's Shen Ge! You're still alive!"

"Uh, who are you?" Shen Ge couldn't remember who this man was for a moment, but judging from his reaction, it seemed like he was very familiar with him.

The patrolman said quickly, "Oh, you may not remember me. I am a member of Fang Mingyue's team. The night before yesterday, I had the honor of working with you. I saw with my own eyes that you ignored the influence of the weirdness and walked into the weird energy black fog, and easily rescued the trapped soldiers. Yesterday, I heard that you went alone to support your comrades in dealing with the 4th-level weirdness. Are you a god from heaven? This is too powerful!"

"..." Shen Ge didn't know how to respond for a moment. How come he was rumored to be a superhero just because he didn't come back for one night?
The patrolman became more and more excited as he spoke, and Shen Ge also learned from his words that after Fang Mingyue returned to the team, she and the additional personnel sent by Deng Yuqi searched for Shen Ge's whereabouts.

Even after a night, Fang Mingyue still insisted on searching for Shen Ge's whereabouts, and even wanted to mobilize a construction team to dig near the Penguin Building, as if she was determined to find the person alive or dead.

After the patrolman excitedly shared the results of last night's battle, he immediately took Shen Ge to the "New Command Center of the Exploration Team" established on the temporary base of the New Cult. Deng Yuqi, who was discussing how to transform the temporary base with the new captain Qian Weiguo and the coalition forces sent by the Hunting Ghost Team, Tu Doubi and others, was very happy to see Shen Ge come in, and immediately sent someone to contact Fang Mingyue who was still searching outside.

"Shen Ge, it's great that you're back. Captain Fang has been looking for you for as long as you've been missing. He hasn't even slept for more than ten hours."

"Yes, Shen Ge, but you are really amazing. You actually dared to go to the high-level weirdness alone to rescue people, and you actually rescued them."

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Shen Ge, thank you for your help. We have accepted Captain Deng's invitation and will be a member of the exploration team from now on."

"Please give me your advice."

"Shen Ge, I've heard of you for a long time."

"..."

Seeing Shen Ge walk into the temporary command center, everyone wanted to step forward and make friends with this "rising star" of the shelter after hearing about his heroic deeds.

Fortunately, Shen Ge was no longer surprised by such things in "reality" and could handle them easily. He sent others away with just a few words.

But when Deng Yuqi asked about his experience last night, Shen Ge did not choose to tell the whole truth. He only mentioned that after rescuing Qian Weiguo, he ran after Priest Jiang and successfully killed him.

As for the subsequent elimination of the "Si Bu Xiang" and the pursuit of the "Big Whale" for several hours without success, he accidentally fell into the pit of the strange rat and took the opportunity to kill the strange rat. Such a thrilling few hours were just mentioned by Shen Ge in one sentence.

At this time, a soldier ran in and said, "Report, the Saint Maiden candidate heard that Shen Ge was back and said that she wanted to see him and had something important to tell him."

"Important things?" Deng Yuqi frowned slightly. After Qian Weiguo brought Liang Yin here, she had a pretty good communication with the girl, and the other party also expressed her desire to join the exploration team.

Deng Yuqi thought that Shen Ge might use her status as a candidate for the Saint to make some plans, so she did not agree directly. Instead, she asked her to think about it again and also told her about the dangers she would face after joining the exploration team.

Deng Yuqi thought that her communication with Liang Yin was pretty good, but she didn't expect that when the other party "had something important to report", the first person he thought of was Shen Ge, not her.

"Can I go with you?" Deng Yuqi looked at Shen Ge and asked. His tone was not like that of a superior to a subordinate, but more like asking for Shen Ge's consent. Shen Ge nodded, and under the guidance of the soldier, he came to the temporary camp and met Liang Yin in a tent built in the ruins.

Liang Yin didn't expect Deng Yuqi to come with Shen Ge. Seeing that the other party was obviously stunned, Deng Yuqi also saw Liang Yin's concerns and said tactfully: "I came here to confirm with you about joining the exploration team. You two have something to talk about first. I'll wait for you outside after you finish talking."

After Deng Yuqi and her confidants, as well as a senior captain of the exploration team, left, only Shen Ge and Liang Yin were left in the tent.

Seeing Liang Yin's hesitation, Shen Ge was also somewhat curious about what she wanted to tell him, because in his opinion, Liang Yin might not even know that he had rescued her. Therefore, it was almost impossible for her to express her gratitude or seek help.

"What do you want from me?" Shen Ge asked.

Liang Yin hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and finally said nervously: "I, I know, I know you are not, not a human..."

"?"

What the hell.

Shen Ge was stunned by Liang Yin's inexplicable words. Even if Liang Yin had judged his identity as a weirdo from his previous ability to appear and disappear, so what?
Use this matter to threaten him to do things for you?
If Liang Yin was Priest Jiang's man, or was loyal to the New God Religion, Shen Ge felt that this was still possible, but the other party was full of hatred for the New God Religion and was unlikely to ask him to do things for the New God Religion. He couldn't possibly want to use him to destroy the New God Religion, right?

Shen Ge was actually happy with this result, because it would make it easier for him to use Liang Yin's identity as the candidate for the Holy Maiden to control the New God Church from within and pave the way for Deng Yuqi, Fang Mingyue and others.

Liang Yin swallowed his saliva, as if to ease his nervousness. After a few seconds of silence, he looked up at Shen Ge as if he had made up his mind and said, "I, I saw that you have the same aura as Priest Jiang and the others. I know that you are not human, but, but I also, I also know that you are different from them."

"Oh?" Shen Ge raised his eyebrows. He always felt that what Liang Yin said was not as simple as it seemed. What did "he has the same aura as Priest Jiang" mean?
Are you referring to his ability to appear and disappear at will?

Or, weird power?
If it is a strange power, then doesn't it mean that Liang Yin has the ability to see strange power, but this is not an ability that an "ordinary person" can possess, which means that she is most likely also a weirdo.

However, when Shen Ge entered the chariot where Liang Yin was, he kept his strange eyes open, but did not see any reaction from Liang Yin's strange energy.

Liang Yin calmed down and said firmly: "I, I want to cooperate with you. If, if you can, you can help me, I will, I will tell you where the thing that can make you more powerful is hidden!"

Although Liang Yin wanted to appear as calm as possible, her tone and expression had completely betrayed her. Shen Ge could even see that she had no confidence in "threatening" Shen Ge, and even felt that she had placed all her hopes on him.

"Something that makes me stronger?" Shen Ge asked.

Liang Yin nodded quickly: "Yes, that's the thing that Priest Jiang and the others used. It can make one's superpowers even better."

"Superpowers?" Shen Ge asked again.

Liang Yin blinked, not knowing whether Shen Ge did it on purpose or really didn't know, but he still said honestly: "It's the superpower that Priest Jiang can ignore attacks. I know that he could only ignore some damage from cold weapons before, until he used those things later, the range of his influence became wider and wider, and the damage he suffered became greater and greater."

"You suddenly appeared in the chariot yesterday night. You must have used some special ability, right? The thing I'm talking about can make you even more powerful, and make your teleportation ability farther and stronger, even able to teleport from one city to another!"

Liang Yin became more and more excited as she spoke. She was afraid that Shen Ge would not agree, so she wanted to do her best to promote the only bargaining chip she could offer.

Shen Ge asked back: "How do you know I'm using the ability to teleport?"

"Ah? Isn't it...well, I mean, being able to suddenly appear from one place to another, if this isn't the ability to teleport, what is it?" Liang Yin said affirmatively.

"..." Shen Ge was now certain that Liang Yin was simply trying his luck in trying to figure out his abilities, but unfortunately, he was terribly wrong.

It is even possible that even the "chips" in her hand are nonsense. Liang Yin may just want to trick Shen Ge into attacking someone or a stronghold of the New God Cult in this way, and use "empty rewards" to trick him into taking revenge on the New God Cult for her.

Shen Ge lowered his head and thought, as if he was really considering Liang Yin's question seriously. After a while, he looked up and asked, "So, the thing you said that can make superpowers more powerful is in the hands of a certain priest of the New God Religion, or in the headquarters of the New God Religion?"

"It's in a secret research institute of the New God Church. They conduct inhumane human experiments there to allow ordinary people to gain extraordinary powers like Priest Jiang. Every candidate for Saint will also be sent to the institute. If they can successfully obtain extraordinary powers, they can survive and wait to be selected as candidates. If they fail to obtain extraordinary powers, they will become playthings of the priests." Liang Yin became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Shen Ge originally wanted to just say a few words to Liang Yin so that this little girl who wanted to use him as a tool would completely give up the idea in her mind, but he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.

"Wait, you are now a candidate for the Saint. According to what you said, you were also sent to this secret research institute for research and successfully gained extraordinary powers?" Shen Ge asked.

Liang Yin nodded subconsciously and said as a matter of course: "Yes, that's why I said that I can see that you have the power of Priest Jiang."

what?
Shen Ge was stunned. Aren’t you trying to cheat me after all this time?

Obviously Shen Ge had always thought that Liang Yin was deceiving him in order to borrow his power to take revenge on the New God Cult, but he didn't expect that the other party really had extraordinary powers?
"Can you see strange power?" Shen Ge thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that the meaning of Liang Yin's words was probably that she could see strange power.

As he spoke, he released a faint strange energy from his palm that was invisible to the naked eye.

Liang Yin looked at Shen Ge's palm and nodded, and used his hand to indicate a size of one inch: "Yes, it is a ball of energy this big... I can also see the strange energy flowing in your body, but I need to concentrate. If I look at it for too long, my eyes will be sore and uncomfortable."

"???"

Good guy!
