Chen Fan raised the biggest question in his heart. He found that in the more than two months since he left, Yunxi City seemed to be a little different from when he left. But what was different was not something that could be seen at a glance. Wang
Yi's impulsiveness made him very confused. In his impression, this seemingly rough and heroic man actually had a calm side and would rarely do such reckless things.
Liu Yunshan sat up straight and said, "What do you think the reason might be?"
"I don't know." Chen Fan shook his head and then asked, "This decision should be made by Zhou Tao and Wang Yi together. Can I talk to Zhou Tao again?"
"Of course!" Liu Yunshan stood up immediately and reached for a red phone. It wasn't until he finished the call that Chen Fan calmly leaned on the sofa and waited. After waiting for about half an hour, Zhou Tao, who looked tired,
He walked in silently and stood there with his hands folded like a child who made a mistake, not even daring to take the initiative to say hello to Liu Yunshan.
"Come here." Liu Yunshan looked at Zhou Tao with a heavy expression and sighed slightly.
Zhou Tao came over immediately, still standing there with his head bowed, without saying a word.
Although Yunxi City had safely weathered a crisis because of Chen Fan's return, Zhou Tao felt guilty all the time. He was the most directly responsible for Wang Yi's disappearance, and the two had worked side by side for many years.
Because of the battle, Zhou Tao has been unable to lift his spirits.
"There is no need to be so decadent. Wang Yi is just missing. It is not confirmed that he is dead." Upon seeing this, Chen Fan coughed and took the initiative to comfort Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao smiled bitterly, shook his head and remained silent, but the fatigue in his eyes said everything.
Almost everyone present has learned how dangerous the Death Canyon is. Not to mention the red flame python that died during the day due to the combined efforts of everyone, the weird and unpredictable environment in the canyon is enough to scare people away.
Zhou Tao really regretted it. How could he suddenly have a whim and agree to let Wang Yi lead people into that kind of place?
"Things have happened. It is not a wise choice to blame oneself blindly. Now is not the time to hold people responsible. We should think about how to make up for the losses." Liu Yunshan's eyes were complicated and he took a deep look at the man who once attracted him.
The proud general looked lonely and didn't know what to say for a moment.
If it were a peaceful time, if Zhou Tao took the initiative and disobeyed military orders, Liu Yunshan would definitely send him to a military court. But now it is different from the peace time. Wang Yi's whereabouts are unknown, which is almost equivalent to cutting off one of Liu Yunshan's arms. If Zhou Tao also becomes depressed because of this,
Half of this army will be destroyed in no time.
Chen Fan said calmly, "Did you propose the idea of going to Death Canyon, or did Wang Yi himself request to go, or was it a decision made after mutual discussion between the two of you?"
Zhou Tao was slightly startled, then quickly raised his head and faced Chen Fan and said, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I deliberately..."
"I didn't mean that!" Chen Fan said coldly, "I was just discussing the matter. Now Wang Yi is missing. As his best comrade and a brother of life and death on the battlefield, shouldn't you do something for him? As soon as possible
Explain clearly what happened?"
Zhou Tao forced himself to calm down and sat down on the sofa with a dejected look. He, who was always confident and solemn, silently lit a cigarette for himself. The smoke filled his gray eyes, and then he began to tell what happened.
Just a month after Chen Fan left, a group of orcs appeared out of nowhere in the rear area of Yunxi City. These orcs were armed with mace clubs and were extremely powerful. They also avoided the frontal defense of Yunxi City and went directly around.
Attacking at the weakest point of the defense line almost destroyed the defense line they had worked so hard to build.
This battle caused heavy losses to the military, and made Zhou Tao more and more eager to strengthen the city's defenses. At this time, Wang Yi offered to go to Death Canyon again, as long as he could dig out all the mineral crystals in the black river.
Come out and transport it to the city, they can use this to build a strong fortress, at least they don't have to worry about being surrounded by strange beasts all the time.
Zhou Tao was also hesitant at that time. Chen Fan had not returned yet, and Yunxi City only had three combatants who could really use it. Once Wang Yi led his people away, Yunxi City's city defense would only become more empty, and the Death Valley was full of crises.
, and there is also a red flame python that is always thinking about revenge. Even if it goes away, it may not be able to succeed.
But Wang Yi insisted again and again, and eventually the two broke up. That night, Zhou Tao thought for a long time and felt that Wang Yi's persistence might be right, so he decided to secretly carry out this plan without telling Liu Yunshan, because they knew that Liu Yunshan must
I won't agree to such a risky plan.
After hearing the general story, Chen Fan immediately nodded and said, "In other words, this plan was actually proposed by Wang Yi himself. You tried to stop it before, but failed. Instead, you were persuaded by him, right?"
Zhou Tao replied with a hoarse voice, "That's it. I have been feeling uneasy after Wang Yi left. He left for more than half a month without any news. Then I couldn't wait any longer, so I asked Yang Zhen
He led a team to explore the edge of Death Canyon, but the result was..."
Chen Fan roughly understood what happened later. Not only did the team led by Yang Zhen fail to find Wang Yi, but they brought back a large number of burned and unrecognizable bones from the Death Canyon. Judging from these corpses, Wang Yi's team should have entered the Death Valley.
The canyon was immediately attacked by the red flame python.
Chen Fan asked again, "How many people did Wang Yi bring into Death Canyon?"
Zhou Tao swallowed, gasped hard and said, "Thirteen junior superpowers, and more than fifty elite warriors who have not had time to fully evolve. These people are equipped with the most sophisticated equipment, but...but
Everyone died there."
At this point, the lines on Zhou Tao's face were trembling slightly, and a deep sense of self-blame emerged in his eyes. If it weren't for Liu Yunshan's presence, he would have really wanted to slap himself in the face.
Chen Fan took a breath and said, "Everyone's corpses have been found, except for Wang Yi. Even if he is not a match for the Red Flame Python with his fighting power, there is no big problem in escaping, right? Not to mention that there are many people accompanying him.
It is impossible for dozens of military elites to offer no resistance at all."
Zhou Taoteng stood up with a cry, clenched his fists tightly, and shouted angrily with excitement, "But this is the truth. If you don't believe me and think I am deliberately trying to harm Wang Yi, you can go into Death Canyon to investigate by yourself.
What I just said is all I know!"
"Zhou Tao, calm down!" Liu Yunshan also stood up and scolded him sternly.
"I'm sorry, I...I was too impulsive." Zhou Tao said something incoherently, his eyes were red and he sat back down, crushing the cigarette butt in his hand.
Hearing this, Chen Fan showed an even weirder expression and said thoughtfully, "Wang Yi can't be so stupid that he can't recognize the difference between himself and the Red Flame Python. This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I think,
We really should go into Death Canyon and take another look.” (To be continued)
