Chapter 71 The Origin of Soul-Revitalizing Substance

Lu Ming glanced at Liu Hongshan, then asked, "Captain Liu, what happened to the No. 35 Investigation Team? How did it cause the beast tide?"

Liu Hongshan took a breath and was about to speak, but he suddenly looked around, then he exhaled and said, "Nothing."

Seeing Liu Hongshan's micro-expression, Lu Ming seemed to understand something. It seemed that Liu Hongshan also realized that the tank was in a state of always monitoring them.

Lu Ming then said, "Since we are back safely, let's wait here tonight and wait for further instructions from the outpost."

At this point, Lu Mingyou glanced at everyone, then looked at Liu Hongshan and said, "Captain Liu, in order to prevent any ferocious beasts from following me to the camp, let's go on patrol and see the situation around the ruined town."

Liu Hongshan said: "Okay, Captain Lu, I'll go with you."

Then Lu Ming and Liu Hongshan left where they were and patrolled the nearby ruined houses.

After getting away from the crowd, Lu Ming asked, "Captain Liu, I'm a little curious, what did you find?"

Liu Hongshan still did not answer immediately. He took off the smart watch on his hand and placed it on a stone.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ming also understood and immediately took off the smart watch on his hand and put it together with Liu Hongshan's watch.

Then the two went to a farther place.

After the two walked away, Liu Hongshan said with a serious face: "Captain Lu, I know you were transferred from above, and you must have some special tasks, so I think it's okay to tell you about this."

If he was the captain of an ordinary investigation team, Liu Hongshan would definitely not directly say what he saw, but Lu Ming's identity was different. He was the captain of the investigation team who was airdropped. In addition, a commander had recently arrived at the Longhai outpost base. Liu Hongshan vaguely felt that Lu Ming must have some special mission.

After hearing Liu Hongshan's words and seeing his serious expression, Lu Ming knew that he might be exposed to some secrets about the Longhai outpost base.

Lu Ming then said seriously: "Captain Liu, you go ahead."

Liu Hongshan then said: "After we heard the broadcast of the 35th Investigation Team, we happened to be nearby, so we went to carry out the rescue mission as soon as possible."

"As a result, when we arrived, all members of the 35th Investigation Team had been killed by the beast, but their equipment was still broadcasting to the outside world. The key point was that their distress signals were not broadcast at a fixed time, but were irregular. It was as if someone controlled their equipment and was artificially sending out distress signals to attract members of other investigation teams to that place."

Hearing Liu Hongshan's words, Lu Ming was slightly stunned. Even though he had not arrived at the mission site, he vaguely sensed that someone was controlling it behind the scenes.

Of course, he was just guessing before.

Liu Hongshan continued, "Later, I risked my life and headed towards the place where the signal came from. I found a ferocious beast with colorful aura all over its body, which was constantly gnawing at the bodies of the members of the No. 35 Investigation Team. It was defecating while eating, and what it excreted was the soul-revitalizing substance."

"That beast was different from any beast we had seen before. It was hard for me to describe its appearance, but it was only the size of an adult. I watched it from a distance for a while and found that it excreted as much as it ate. The human corpses it had eaten were enough to burst its body, but its body was completely intact."

"So I very much suspect that after eating humans, it digested and excreted what we call soul-revitalizing substance, and someone had discovered this long ago, and then used this to attract other members of the investigation team to get close to the beast, and then created more soul-revitalizing substance, and then used the soul-revitalizing substance to attract other beasts, creating a beast tide, and trapping all the nearby investigation team members inside." Hearing Liu Hongshan's analysis, Lu Ming was stunned. He did not expect that Liu Hongshan could analyze so many things. He even suspected that Liu Hongshan knew the inside story and came to him on purpose to pass on the message, and then told the higher-ups how the soul-revitalizing substance was produced through him.

Lu Ming was silent for a while, pretending to be thinking. Liu Hongshan looked at him and did not continue speaking.

In fact, Liu Hongshan didn’t think at first that Lu Ming was sent by his superiors to investigate or something. When he saw Lu Ming before, he thought Lu Ming was just a student.

But after seeing Lu Ming's strength, Liu Hongshan realized that Lu Ming could not be just an ordinary student. Lu Ming already possessed the strength of a combat guard. Moreover, in the situation just now, Lu Ming was able to escape from the beast tide, which proved that Lu Ming had other means that they did not know about.

How could such a person be an ordinary student?

There must be some special mission. In order to investigate something, the higher-ups disguised him as a student and parachuted him into the investigation team as the captain.

Moreover, Liu Hongshan had long realized that there were problems with the Longhai Outpost Base, and there were quite a few of them. Although he was just a captain of a small investigation team, he was a man with a keen political sense. When the commander appeared at the Longhai Outpost Base, he had already anticipated some of the things that would happen next at the Longhai Outpost Base.

However, Liu Hongshan was just the captain of a small investigation team. Even though he knew what had happened and some of the problems that existed in the Longhai outpost base, he could only watch it all happen.

After Lu Ming thought about it, he said to Liu Hongshan: "Captain Liu, does anyone else know what you saw?"

Liu Hongshan replied: "I haven't reported it yet. No one else knows except the members of our team."

Lu Ming said: "Okay, I understand. I will report this to a specific person."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Liu Hongshan was shocked. As expected, this Lu Ming came to the Longhai outpost base with a mission.

Lu Ming continued, "Captain Liu, you'd better not tell anyone about this, and don't report it to the outpost."

Liu Hongshan has discovered that the soul-revitalizing substance is suspected to be produced by ferocious beasts that eat humans. At the same time, someone is constantly leading the soldiers of the investigation team to the place where the ferocious beasts produce the soul-revitalizing substance. This seems to be related to some high-level officials of the Longhai outpost base.

If Liu Hongshan reported directly to the Longhai outpost base, Liu Hongshan and the remaining members of their team would probably not survive long.

Liu Hongshan said: "Captain Lu, I understand what you mean."

Lu Ming then said: "Okay, let's go back."

Afterwards, Lu Ming and Liu Hongshan returned to the camp. After they returned, Lu Ming immediately took out his personal communication device and sent a text message to Zhao Wanqin reporting the situation that Liu Hongshan had just reported.

Lu Ming felt that Liu Hongshan must know something. It was impossible for him to guess so many things based on what happened today, unless Liu Hongshan had long realized that the ferocious beasts could produce soul-revitalizing substances by eating humans, and everything that happened today just confirmed Liu Hongshan's guess, so Liu Hongshan was so sure that this was how the soul-revitalizing substances came from.
