Inside the cave, Shen Feng watched as Li Ke left with his report. He then turned his gaze to the handsome young man sitting next to him and asked, "What do you think?"
The handsome young man said faintly, "The monitoring department is the first of all the teams to report back. This news is very important to our advance team. If we can inform the other teams in time, we might be able to reduce a lot of casualties."
Shen Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not asking about this, but Qinchuan as a person. What do you think of Qinchuan?"
The handsome young man was slightly startled by Shen Feng's question. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "He's a pretty good guy."
"Just pretty good?"
Shen Feng smiled when he heard this. "Believe it or not, more than one team has encountered such a situation. However, Qin Chuan might be the only one who will send someone back to report."
"I don't believe it."
The handsome young man looked at Shen Feng. "In a place like this, we still have to stick together for warmth. They are all smart people. They wouldn't do something that harms others without benefiting themselves."
"It's because they are smart people that they would do something like this." Shen Feng sneered. "Cleverness leads to the downfall of cleverness. That's exactly what this kind of person is!"
The handsome young man frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else. There was no point in arguing about this now. Everything would naturally be answered later.
The exploration distance of ten thousand meters wasn't considered long. Even the slowest team finished exploring after two hours and returned to the cave. It was just that the teams that had set out had almost all suffered losses when they returned. The team with the most casualties actually had four people dead, while Qinchuan's team had the least casualties. Only Wang Ming had been sacrificed.
"Tell me, what did you encounter?" Shen Feng looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "Why did so many people die?!"
"We encountered danger during the exploration," someone answered.
"Later, we were reminded to be more careful, so there were no more casualties."
Most of the other people's answers were the same. No one gave a clear explanation as to why there had been casualties. Looking at the calm and indifferent expressions on these people's faces, Shen Feng's face couldn't help but turn completely gloomy.
"Before we set off, I told you to report any situation you encountered. Since you encountered danger and sacrificed yourselves, why didn't you report it?"
Facing Shen Feng's question, everyone turned silent. No one answered Shen Feng's question. Seeing this scene, Shen Feng sneered and said to everyone, "You all have quite a tacit understanding in this aspect. Are you all thinking that if you all encounter danger and lose people, you will also cause the other teams to lose people?"
Shen Feng's words mercilessly pierced through the little thoughts in everyone's hearts, causing their expressions to change slightly as they began to feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Before we set off, I warned you that you can fight however you want outside, but in the Sword God Ruins, internal strife is strictly prohibited. Although you don't have any internal strife, what's the difference between internal strife and internal strife?
Would you be happy if we were wiped out because of a lack of manpower when we encounter danger?! "
"This is only the first time, so I'll let you off for now. However, if any of you dare to play such tricks on me again, then don't blame me for being merciless!"
…
After everyone left the cave and went outside to rest, Shen Feng sighed and said to the handsome young man beside him, "Do you believe me now?"
"These people are selfish. Do they even put our common interests in their eyes?"
If it wasn't for Shen Feng stopping her, she would have already lost her temper at these people. This was simply too outrageous!
"Tian Mei, you must remember that if you encounter danger in the future, you must follow Qinchuan closely. Only Qinchuan can protect you."
Shen Feng looked at Tian Mei seriously, "Don't try to be brave when you encounter something. You must first protect yourself."
Hearing Shen Feng's words, Tian Mei's expression changed slightly and asked, "Uncle Shen, do you think we will encounter danger?"
"At the beginning, I wasn't sure. However, after seeing the performance of these people, I don't think that our journey will be smooth sailing." Shen Feng sighed and said, "A person's selfishness is the most difficult to control. I can only do my best."
Hearing this, Tian Mei clenched her teeth and said, "At that time, if we encounter danger, I will reveal my identity. I don't believe that they will dare to disobey!"
"Absolutely not!"
Shen Feng's expression suddenly changed. His tone was extremely serious as he said to Tian Mei, "You must not let them know your identity!"
Tian Mei frowned and said, "What?
Could it be that they dare to harm me?! "
"If it was outside, these people naturally wouldn't dare to act recklessly. However, in here, if they are in a desperate situation, these people may do something!" Shen Feng said to Tian Mei very seriously, "Here, your identity will only become a burden to you!"
In the face of Shen Feng's warning, Tian Mei felt that Shen Feng was exaggerating. However, thinking of what happened before, she couldn't help but frown.
"If you encounter a situation where you have to reveal your identity, then tell Qinchuan. Compared to others, Qinchuan is the most reliable."
Shen Feng said to Tian Mei earnestly, "You sneaked out this time. If I can't bring you back safely, I won't have the face to face the speaker."
"I know, Uncle Shen." Tian Mei promised, "I will do as you say."
… …
Outside the cave, Qinchuan sat on a rock, looking at the gloomy sky and earth in the distance. He was not in a good mood.
Originally, he thought that this operation was just a simple exploration. At most, he would be able to complete the mission assigned to him by Hua Wuying. As long as he did not encounter Zerg's main force, there should not be any big problems.
However, after seeing the performance of those people, he suddenly felt that the most dangerous person might not be Zerg, but his so-called companions.
Le Xing slowly walked to Qinchuan's side and sat down. He said to Qinchuan, "The director asked me to give this to you."
Qinchuan looked at the envelope that Le Xing handed over. He was slightly stunned and asked, "What is this?"
"I'm not sure. The director once told me that if our team encounters a crisis of trust, I am to give this to you." Le Xing looked at Qinchuan, "I think now is the time."
Qinchuan heard this and reached out to take the envelope. He opened it and took out a card. There was only one word written on the card in blood red.
Kill!
Seeing the word "kill" written on the card, Qinchuan instantly understood what Hua Wuying meant. He sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "So you already expected this to happen. If possible, I really don't want to do this."
