Chapter 180 Heading to the Scene
Fu Baili's face darkened. Only the main members of the First Legion knew Yan San's true identity, which basically ruled out the possibility that the enemy intended to kidnap the Imperial Marshal.
"You're saying you're the one who brought back the mutated core?"
Fu Baili looked over with a cold gaze, and Xi Yu nodded indifferently.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the control room became tense and dangerous, and almost everyone cast distrustful glances at her.
"You still say you have a way to find the missing people?" Fu Baili's voice turned cold. He would order the shooting if Xi Yu made the slightest move.
Ugh--
Xi Yu sighed silently. The words she had said in the heat of the moment now seemed even more suspicious.
"I personally handed the mutated core to Major Yan. As for my claim that I can find the missing person, it's because I was born with more sensitive senses than ordinary people and can detect movements in the distance. In addition, Major Yan has a special aura, so finding him shouldn't be difficult." She said ambiguously, which sounded plausible but was hard to believe.
"Of course you can choose to kill me here, but that would be useless for finding the missing troops and would only be a waste of time. Why not deal with me after we find them? I think Mr. Fu knows which matter is more urgent."
Xi Yu subtly transmitted a wisp of her spiritual power into Fu Baili's ears through her voice, not to manipulate him—she wasn't that blatant. She only needed to slightly shake Fu Baili's suspicions; that would be enough.
As expected, Fu Baili gave up the idea of killing her after a moment of silence, but he did not relax his vigilance against her at all.
"Prepare warships and one hundred doses of serum. We're heading to the Amas Forest immediately," Fu Baili ordered. Then, his dark eyes turned to Xi Yu, and he slowly instructed, "Take her with you."
After being searched and confirmed to be unarmed, Xi Yu boarded the warship with the First Legion, under the close watch of two guards.
The warship was several times better than the military academy ship, and it landed in the Amas Forest in less than half an hour. This was the very place where the military academy students had gathered.
Captain Zhang of the border garrison was already waiting there. Under Fu Baili's instructions, he led everyone to the place where Yan San and the others had fought their last battle.
Upon arrival at the scene, the overwhelming stench was almost suffocating.
All around were the corpses of mutated creatures, rotting chunks of flesh scattered everywhere, and thick, foul-smelling blood seeping into the ground.
This situation is a testament to the fierce battle that took place not long ago.
The only saving grace was that there were no bodies at the scene, indicating that the troops had successfully escaped, though their location was unknown.
Xi Yu followed behind, using her spiritual power to carefully explore the surrounding area.
She had a bad feeling; it seemed the enemy's attack wasn't as simple as it appeared. Why would the enemy go to such lengths to ambush Yan San and his men? Yan San's team numbered at most twenty-odd people; why would they go to such lengths to ambush and interfere with signals with such a small force?
Unless... the enemy's goal is not their lives, but to capture them alive?
After looking around, Fu Baili immediately ordered the search team to split up and look for the person. Finally, Fu Baili personally led the team to search to the north.
“Mr. Fu, I think we should go this way.”
Xi Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.
