Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 375 - 255: Sudden Uprising – Breaking the Deadlock (Double - )
Chapter 255: Outburst (Second Update)
Qu Jianlei had already sentenced the three to death in his mind, and those three quietly conferred before their departure.
The feeling of being a spy is actually quite subtle; most of the time, it involves observing which members of the group might be allies.
Especially when some spies have higher clearance, they already know which ones are definitely their own people.
After Sedifei’s group of four was divided, mutual probing basically confirmed that three were together.
However, the other one... was somewhat suspicious.
Now, three were sent out with Qu Jianlei for external combat, and the suspicious one did not go, which made the doubt even greater.
Those involved in exploration usually have a strong sense of caution and act decisively; if the suspicion is very strong, it can generally be deemed factual.
Sedifei straightforwardly stated, "This time being sent for external combat, the three of us following Black Heaven certainly has ill intentions."
The other Modified Warrior, Duffy, believed, "Without an internal ally role, we might as well return to formation."
He actually considered defecting to the Star Thieves as "returning to formation," such a worldview that is beyond comprehension.
The ordinary man who didn’t even deserve a name, remarked, "Maybe we’re thinking wrong, and as for returning... would Black Heaven agree?"
"What about Black Heaven?" The Modified Warrior smirked disdainfully, "Even with calculations unaccounted for, a B-level Warrior should fail when necessary."
"Does it have to be this extreme?" The ordinary man was startled, are you two planning to go against Black Heaven?
Currently, Black Heaven has become a legend within the Blazing Fire Team, his killing of the Star Thief Su Dafeng has pushed his reputation to the pinnacle.
He has contributed immensely to the team, yet he is aloof and unwilling to socialize, making him exceptionally cold.
If he were willing to socialize, the one to be anxious would be Mu Guoguo; the captain is also a talent, but not legendary like him.
The thought of going against Black Heaven made the ordinary man’s tongue almost tie into knots.
"Do you think Black Heaven requires your radio skills?" Duffy sneered.
"Stop being naive, do you not know how high his mechanical prowess is?"
At this moment, Sedifei spoke, "Let’s see how things unfold; the Electromagnetic Attribute isn’t without its counter; I can trap him momentarily."
It’s not him being arrogant, the Earth Attribute is famously the strongest resistance to the Electromagnetic Attribute.
The ordinary man silently pursed his lips, not daring to speak his mind, thinking to himself that fighting is your business, I can’t do anything.
The night of their conference, Qu Jianlei notified the three, "Take advantage of the night and leave quickly."
The certificate for leaving camp was prepared long ago; no one stopped them, and the four quickly vanished into the night.
After traveling only two kilometers, the ordinary man started lagging behind; it’s not his fault, the other three were at least Modified Warriors.
"Masters, could you slow down a bit? Otherwise, on such an intertwining task... I can’t keep up."
He somewhat wished to return to camp; even a fool would know that the next three are going to fight desperately, a spectacle he wanted no part of.
Duffy also felt the ordinary man was getting in the way and worried he might mess things up, "Then go back; Lord Black Heaven has no problem using the radio."
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "When did it become up to you to make decisions in this team?"
It’s not arrogance, but that was his usual tone anyway; if careful wording was needed, it was for consideration, not now.
Duffy only felt his face heat up; does a high Cultivation Level allow such unchecked behavior?
Yet ultimately, he declared, "Lord Black Heaven, we have to perform an intertwining response, he will only hold us back!"
The words were somewhat insulting but truthful.
Even an ordinary person who had injected the Genetic Transformation Potion twice was far from matching a Warrior altered three times.
Modified Warriors kept a steady pace, moving at thirty kilometers an hour without any issue, while twice-injected ordinary people capped at fifteen kilometers.
Though there is still a gap compared to the Ultimate Warrior, Modified Warriors and them are physically comparable.
Unless Sedifei and Qu Jianlei deliberately used Technique to shake him off, Duffy could fully keep pace with them.
However, Qu Jianlei hummed coldly, "Should I emphasize discipline?"
He was concerned about being too close to the camp, hence refrained from harsher words, which would inevitably lead to action once said.
After all, since bringing the "Radio Specialization" out, there was absolutely no chance of letting him return.
Sedifei and Duffy exchanged a covert glance without vocal opposition; it was clear they shared similar concerns.
Due to the ordinary man’s sluggishness, the four traveled for over five hours, covering only thirty kilometers.
About three kilometers ahead to the right, an eight-man team was spotted, gathering for camp.
They hid relatively well but couldn’t escape Qu Jianlei’s Spiritual Perception.
This team was definitely not Blazing Fire’s; to be blunt, they simply didn’t possess the capability - too few people.
Now with people dispersed everywhere hunting for spies, the areas to search are numerous, it’s unfeasible to have such a team size.
It’s either a team of around ten providing support or a search team of three to four - there were even numerous lone individuals searching.
An eight-man team of this incongruous makeup was certainly an external force outside of Blazing Fire.
Qu Jianlei decisively issued orders, "Rest for half an hour, then continue until dawn before settling."
"Okay," Sedifei promptly responded, "Since we’re out together, surely we should care for..."
Mid-sentence, he abruptly performed a Finger Technique and shouted, "Quicksand, Earth Wall~ Take action!"
He knew there’s a support squad of Star Thieves nearby, though not precisely located, it’s approximately correct.
