Chapter 821: The First Level Eight Mutant ( 1 )
Ma Boyu lost in thought as he continued, "Back then, there was a group of terrorists using the entire town as their hostage and demanding $10 million from the government in exchange for the people."
"Usually, this case would take a long time to solve. But Captain Jin and his team sneaked into the town and freed the hostages in less than 5 hours."
"When the special squads arrived to defuse the bomb, they found that the bomb had exploded, but besides the terrorists, no one was injured. No one knows how he saved everyone back then. But now, I think I understand how he did it."
After a long silence, Liu Dingchen suddenly said, "Brother Ma, you mean that Captain Jin already awakened his ability years before the apocalypse?"
Ma Boyu nodded and replied, "Captain Jin’s ability is black flame, and he could control the fire. If not because of his ability, it was impossible for him to control the area of the explosion."
"The bombs used by the terrorists back then could destroy the entire town. Yet, it only destroyed the rooftop of the building when it exploded."
When everyone heard this, they exchanged glances.
"No matter what happened back then, it’s a matter of the past. Now that most of us have awakened abilities, we are not worse than him. Just focus on training ourselves and getting stronger," Chen Qianxiao said.
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
Half an hour later, their military chopper finally landed on the training ground. As soon as they came out of the chopper, they were led to a room where they underwent inspection.
Chen Qianxiao turned to his members and said, "All of you should get some rest today. We will hold a meeting tomorrow at 8 o’clock in the morning."
The members nodded and returned to their houses. As for him, he followed the guard and went to Xun Che’s office. When he arrived at the office, he saw that Wen Hanli was also present.
"Old Wen, please help me order some food. I’m hungry." After a moment of pause, he added, "Also, make me a cup of black coffee."
Hearing this, Wen Hanli asked, "Captain Chen, you look haggard. Are you not sleeping well lately?"
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Chen Qianxiao replied, "I haven’t slept in 38 hours."
When he heard this, Wen Hanli nodded and went to brew some coffee for him.
"What keeps you so busy?" Xun Che asked curiously.
"What else? It’s thanks to Erast Tolstoy’s men. They are already seeking refuge from Lustin but still acting as if they were the ones giving orders. If not for giving that old man some face, I would have thrown them out a long time ago."
"What happened?"
"After the zombie cockroach’s attack, my team found an underground mine while clearing up the city. When we arrived, the crystal mine was already empty, but we found a trace of black crystal inside."
"Black crystal? You mean the one brought back by the Phantom Team from Luyang City?" Xun Che asked.
Chen Qianxiao opened his backpack and took out a small piece of black crystal. The crystal was stored in a small glass jar and sealed.
Seeing this, Xun Che walked over and sat beside him. He took the glass jar and took a closer look.
"This is the same crystal. So far, our people have only been able to discover that the energy contained in this crystal was purer and stronger than the one contained in the crystal core."
"According to the information my member obtained, this crystal is the reason for those bugs invading our planet," Chen Qianxiao said.
After he said this, both of them went silent for a moment before Xun Che said, "I always wondered why the Facility sent so many high-level mutants to Lunar City. Also, the zombie cockroach’s attack seemed too coincidental. If their goal from the beginning was the black crystal mine, then everything made sense."
Chen Qianxiao sighed and replied, "The problem is those old fools. They insisted that it was my team and the guards sent by you who took the black crystal. They demand that we hand over the crystal."
"How does Lustin react to this situation?" Xun Che asked.
"He stood on our side, of course. Only fools would think that we were able to mine so much crystal in just a few days."
When he finished his words, he took out his phone and showed him the pictures. Although they couldn’t use the phone to make calls or browse the internet, they were still able to use it to record videos or take pictures.
The moment Xun Che saw the size of the mine, he was surprised. "Such a big mine was actually hidden under Lunar City."
Chen Qianxiao nodded and said with a frown, "Judging from the size of the mine, the amount of crystals should be at least 10 times more than the one found in Luyang City. The problem right now is not about those old folks but who took away the crystal."
While the crystals could only serve as an energy source like crystal cores, it was more than enough to boost the strength of an entire base by several folds. If those crystals fell into the hands of the Organization, then their situation might be far more dangerous than they thought.
After a moment of silence, Xun Che said, "I will discuss this matter with Old Wen and the rest. You should take a good rest for a few days."
Just after he said this, Wen Hanli returned holding a tray. He placed the tray on the table and said, "Captain Chen, your meal."
Chen Qianxiao took a sip of the coffee before he started eating. Besides a bowl of fish porridge, there were also 2 boiled eggs, a cup of soymilk, a bowl of strawberries, and 3 grilled sausages.
As he ate, he asked, "Old Xun, since when did our base have soymilk?"
