Chapter 166 Sorry, we are here to kill but not bury...
Yuan Qing's voice was extremely loud, allowing almost all the surrounding players to hear his words.
However, after that, Yuan Qing did not hear any response.
The atmosphere around him seemed to have dropped to zero in an instant just because of Yuan Qing's words.
This feeling is like a punch hitting the air hard.
Yuan Qing was immediately at a loss.
Damn, what happened...
Why is it so inexplicable that he suddenly became the cold king?
There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said, right?
Moreover, he is also the captain of the team, so isn’t it natural to ask about the situation?
Yuan Qing felt that he couldn't understand these children...
But he soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.
Because the faces of these young people looked like something was wrong.
Part of his face was filled with embarrassment, and even though his lips moved several times, he couldn't utter even a single word.
The other part is a little confused.
Like Yuan Qing, they were not very clear about the situation. They looked at each other in confusion, waiting for someone who could stand up and explain the situation and answer their doubts.
Su Ji was also part of the latter group, and she also looked around with a bit of confusion.
It wasn't until a minute or two later that an investigator stood up from the queue.
"Well, Captain Yuan..."
The investigator's eyes were slightly evasive, and after hesitating for a moment, he said weakly:
"They are all……"
"Sacrificed."
…
The air suddenly became quiet.
It was as if some extraordinary magical element was mixed into the air, causing the surrounding environment to drop several degrees.
Then slowly solidified...
However, what surprised them was...
Yuan Qing's reaction seemed not as strong as they imagined.
"okay, I get it."
Yuan Qing looked calm and said, "Does anyone know their IDs and the organizations they belong to?"
"After all your hard work, please report back to me."
"After the mission is over, we will be responsible for reporting it."
The young investigators were a little stunned when they heard this, not understanding what Captain Yuan meant at all.
report?
What to report?
Seemingly seeing through the thoughts of these young people with immature faces, Yuan Qing explained in a calm tone:
"Collect information to facilitate the organization of subsequent distribution of family pensions."
"As well as some follow-up work such as registering the information of the martyrs' families."
"..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Everyone felt a little shocked in their hearts at this moment.
But despite this, everyone still didn't know what to say when they spoke.
The surrounding air began to become oppressive unconsciously.
After Yuan Qing was silent for a while, he sighed softly.
"Stop your expressions as if you've heard some incredible nonsense."
"You will see more things like this in the future."
Without saying anything else, Yuan Qing turned around and left after speaking calmly.
A group of young investigators were left standing there, even more at a loss.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Su Ji and the other investigators were standing on the path in the forest.
Following the others, I watched a simple trolley being pushed past.
On top of the car board, something underneath was covered with a white cloth.
It can be clearly distinguished that they are the shapes of two people.
——Two people who were still alive an hour ago.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a body that could not wake up after lying down.
The teammates stood quietly, solemnly silent.
In the moonlight, it can be regarded as a simple condolence.
"Boy."
"What are you thinking about?"
After the trolley gradually moved away, Yuan Qing asked Su Ji beside him.
"I do not know how to describe."
Su Ji slowly shook her head and said, "Actually, I have always thought about this kind of scene."
"I just didn't expect that when I saw it with my own eyes, I would feel quite complicated."
"It'll be fine once you get used to it."
Yuan Qing said, "Actually, they are quite decent."
"When I was young, I also carried out many large-scale tasks."
"It's completely different from this kind of small fight. Missions of that level are basically big scenes."
"I was lucky enough to participate once more than ten years ago."
"At that time, I was still a stupid boy about the same age as you."
"At that time, all the major races fought a big battle in the ruins in order to grab a precious [holy relic]."
"The level of tragedy..."
"Well, how should I put it..."
"The entrance to the treasure room in the deepest part of the ruins has been blocked by corpses, and no blood can even flow in."
"At that time, no one was really afraid of death. As long as there was a fight, they would sharpen their heads and rush forward. They would kill or bury them, and their lives would be like grass."
"The IDs of the players who died at that time were not even remembered yet."
"When the door to the ruins is completely closed, they will disappear forever in a world that may no longer be cared about."
Su Ji listened silently.
Seeing that Yuan Qing suddenly stopped talking, he said: "What about the last thing, Captain Yuan?"
After Yuan Qing paused, he continued: "Finally..."
"Before the gate of the ruins was closed, the master threw the holy bones in his hand towards me from a distance."
"After I took the heavy thing, I saw the master shouting at me with all his strength."
"He said, let's go quickly."
"He made me leave without looking back."
"Because if we don't leave, they and I will die there together."
Yuan Qing was silent for a while and then said: "In the end, [the holy body] has been saved."
"But since then, I have never seen the master holding a cigarette and blowing his nose at me and staring."
"Every time I chatted with him before, he always liked to mention his son."
"He said that his son and I look very similar, especially the eyebrows and forehead bones."
"Later I did meet his son, and it was exactly what he said. We are somewhat similar."
"Um……"
"At his and other teammates' funerals."
Su Ji's throat rolled slightly and she stopped talking.
"I haven't told anyone about these things for a long time."
Yuan Qing patted Su Ji's shoulder gently, "Don't be too stressed, kid."
"You're just still young."
"When you get to my age, you will probably feel sleepy just listening to it."
The force on Yuan Qing's fingers suddenly increased a little.
Su Ji's upper trapezius muscles ached a bit from the pressure.
"Come on, kid."
Yuan Qing said, "Among this group of people, I like you the most."
"The future of humanity..."
"We still have to rely on the young blood of you guys."
