Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 369 - 274: Qiu Tu’s Stratagems Within the Tent! (10,000 words for Monthly Tickets!)
At this moment, Old Zhang and his companions were scared stiff!
Even though they had already known from their superior when they received the mission that they were guarding and patrolling a supernatural lake, a supernatural forest.
But what one hears and what one sees for oneself are somewhat different.
Seeing the brilliant, silver-white starlight falling from the sky, exploding over the entire forest; seeing the pervasive mist turn into a white dragon coiling up into the sky!
Hearing the sudden sound of "gurgle gurgle" of water in the dried-up hollow at the center of the forest, feeling the sudden abundant presence of life, how could they not know that the supernatural lake spoken of by their superior had been born!
Thus, they widened their eyes, stared dumbfounded for a few seconds, then turned and ran towards the back to report the situation!
Soon, the quiet campsite was filled with the "rustle rustle" of whispered talking and the sounds of dressing.
Before long, more and more shouting and rallying calls resounded over the campsite of the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau.
Squads of Special Service Detectives promptly arrived at the ready, led by a First Level Detective captain.
However, while the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau was quick, the other three factions were not slow. Or perhaps... even faster.
Especially the Eastern City Investigation Bureau, which had already received Liu Xiongyuan’s signal. They had made their preparations early in the evening.
Therefore, from the moment the starlight landed, they headed straight for the Moonlight Forest. This also made them one of the factions to arrive at Moonlight Lake...
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"This way! This way!"
Accompanied by quiet commands in the dark forest, soon, the squad from the Eastern City Investigation Bureau arrived at Moonlight Lake!
By this time, the newly formed Moonlight Lake lay quietly flat in the depression at the center of the Moonlight Forest.
The lake water flowed quietly, like a silvery mirror, reflecting the Blue Moon in the night sky, creating a stark contrast with the pitch-black Moonlight Forest under the night’s veil.
"Is this Moonlight Lake? It’s magical..."
The commanding tall squad leader from the Eastern City Investigation Bureau gazed at the sacred lake before him, his face filled with joy and astonishment.
He gestured with his hands for his subordinates to stay calm, and then he himself began walking slowly towards Moonlight Lake.
It could have been an illusion, but Moonlight Lake seemed to be "blooming" at that moment!
Every ripple on its calm surface brought up a whiff of mist, and this mist seemed imbued with a powerful life force; as soon as it floated to the vicinity of Moonlight Lake, it instantly made the plants it touched burst into unprecedented vitality.
Seeing this, the lead tall squad leader purposefully walked through a strand of mist, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath!
A faint fragrance lingered in his nostrils; he felt as though ancient trees were bursting into new greenery, and his whole body was extremely invigorated!
’Amazing!’ he exclaimed inwardly, but knowing the urgency of the night and the weight of the mission, he waved his hand to the back and commanded in a low voice, "Quick, quick! Set up the equipment now!"
Hearing the squad leader’s words, the detectives, light on their feet and adept in their movements, ran over with the equipment and began to set it up.
Their equipment resembled water pumps, but had undergone some special modifications.
Such as adding a filtration device; connecting the water outlet to several large drums for easy transportation; and... the machine also had an external diesel generator, among other things. Experience tales with novelbuddy
These dozen or so detectives had clearly rehearsed many times before, so it took them only a minute to assemble the machine.
Then, under the command of the towering squad leader, two detectives threw the water pumping tube into Moonlight Lake!
Meanwhile, several other detectives started pouring diesel into the generator and then started the machine.
"Chug chug chug chug!" Along with the roar of the water pump, the pump began to operate furiously!
Moonlight Lake contained not only Tears of Moonlight, but also a lot of pure water condensed from the air. The filtration system was meant to filter out the pure water, then extract the Tears of Moonlight!
Soon... "drip... drip... splash... splash..."
The plastic barrels started filling up with more and more filtered Tears of Moonlight.
The Tears of Moonlight were just like the small bottle Qiu Tu had once obtained; they were silvery and luminous like mercury, shimmering as if moonlight were flowing through them.
Seeing this scene, the tall squad leader finally let out a sigh of relief—his vanguard unit had at least successfully completed their mission.
This placed the Eastern City Investigation Bureau at the forefront among the four major forces.
They had secured a considerable amount of time to extract the Cataclysmic Material!
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, the west side of Moonlight Forest was filled with the clamor of footsteps.
The tall squad leader was taken aback for a moment, somewhat in disbelief as he looked towards that direction.

What he saw was that several squads from the Xinjie City Military Department had also arrived at the lake’s edge with equipment.
And it was clear they were also well-prepared in advance; as soon as they reached the lake, they immediately began to assemble their equipment and started extracting the Tears of Moonlight.
Altogether, they were only about 3 minutes slower than the Eastern City Investigation Bureau.
’How is this possible!’ the tall squad leader thought incredulously.
After all, during this period, the four major forces had a thorough understanding of each other.
Although they performed patrols at night, because the formation of Moonlight Lake was still a while off, most were just going through the motions.
The night patrols usually comprised no more than 5-10 people. The rest of the detectives and soldiers were normally sleeping and resting.
As for the equipment, some had not brought it along, while others were stored in the camp’s secret storerooms, making retrieval quite troublesome.
