Chapter 696 - 696 Murong Xue's Worry

696 Murong Xue’s Worry

Sun Wen looked at Luo Qingcheng with appreciation and said, “You were quite calm just now. Your aura is really impressive. I’m impressed. I’ll go and gather all the remaining experts.”

“Alright.” Luo Qingcheng nodded.

Sun Wen immediately gathered the experts in Team Origin.

Soon, all the remaining managers and experts of Team Origin gathered in a wooden house and prepared to discuss the matter and the solution.

After the group of managers and experts gathered, their faces all looked worried.

Liu Yan and the others were too important to Team Origin. In particular, Liu Yan was the leader and backbone of the team.

Without Liu Yan, not only would the ordinary members panic, but the experts would also panic.

As managers and experts, they naturally knew more about the situation.

They knew better than the ordinary members how important Liu Yan and the others were to the entire Team Origin.

The entire team had more than 300 people, and Liu Yan’s sharp knife squad only had six people. In terms of numbers, it didn’t seem to be a large proportion.

However, Liu Yan and the others were the most important in combat strength and influence.

Without Liu Yan and the others, the overall combat power of Team Origin was at least halved.

It was even possible that the squads in Team Origin would not get along with each other and eventually fall apart without Liu Yan’s command.

After all, these five squads came from five different continents, and there were some conflicts between them.

If it weren’t for Liu Yan, the five squads wouldn’t have been as harmonious as they were even if they had become a team.

The reason why the five squads in Team Origin could get along so well was all thanks to Liu Yan.

Luo Qingcheng looked at the silent crowd and could not help but say, “Everyone, don’t be silent. We’re the only ones in charge of these things now, so let’s talk.”

“That’s right.” Sun Wen chimed in. “The situation isn’t the worst yet. There’s no need for everyone to be so dejected.”

“Is there any news from Liu Yan’s sharp knife squad? What’s the current situation?” Murong Xue couldn’t help asking.

“Will Brother Liu Yan be alright?” Chu Long asked worriedly.

Chu Long had been busy with the construction and logistics of the territory.

Today, the members collected many resources.

Luo Qingcheng was only in charge of counting the goods while Chu Long was in charge of putting the goods into the warehouse. There were many other things to do, so she was naturally busy.

Because of this, Chu Long just found out that Liu Yan’s sharp knife squad had not returned.

Chu Long had never been worried about Liu Yan.

After all, Liu Yan’s strength was far too powerful. His strength alone was enough to defeat a squad. He was far stronger than others. Hence, Chu Long was not worried about Liu Yan at all.

However, the situation this time was different.

If this had happened in the first few levels of the Tower, Chu Long wouldn’t have been worried. She would have thought that Liu Yan was in trouble and would return tomorrow or two days later.

However, this was the sixth level of the Tower, so it was different.

The level of danger on the sixth level of the Tower was much more dangerous than the previous five levels. It was full of danger and all kinds of possibilities.

After all, there were tens of thousands of teams on the sixth level of the Tower.

The Team Origin’s strength was at least at the lower reaches, if not the bottom.

On the sixth level of the Tower, there were countless experts. Even if Liu Yan had incredible strength, there might be someone stronger than him.

Because of this, Chu Long was worried when he found out that Liu Yan and the others had not returned.

Chu Cunrui looked at them and said, “I’ve been observing from the arrow Tower. I can see very far with the height of the arrow Tower and the city wall. But I didn’t see any trace of Captain and the others. They didn’t come back at all.”

Chu Cunrui’s combat strength was not very strong, and he was just an ordinary expert. However, he was good at archery and had skills that enhanced his vision. His vision was naturally much better than that of ordinary awakened ones. Even if the situation was a few kilometers away, Chu Cunrui could still see clearly.

Because of this, Chu Cunrui had been observing from the arrow Tower when he found out that Liu Yan and the others had not returned yet.

The arrow Towers that were dozens of meters high, coupled with the hundred-meter-high city walls and Chu Cunrui’s powerful vision, naturally allowed him to observe far away.

Chu Cunrui had been observing for a long time, waiting to see the figures of Liu Yan and the others.

However, he was a little disappointed. He didn’t see Liu Yan and the others return. It seemed like they didn’t return.

Derek Dole could not help but say dejectedly, “According to the map we drew earlier, Captain and the others should have gone to the forest in the south. The trees in the deep forest look very tall from the outside, and it’s deep inside. It’s impossible that Captain and the others went in and couldn’t come out, right?”

Jin Cheng frowned. “I’ve also arranged for people to wait and receive them at the border of the territory barrier in the south. I will be notified and receive them if Captain and the others come back. But so far, there has been no news at all.”

He Yang summarized, “For now, we haven’t received any news about Captain. We haven’t received news that anything happened to them, and we don’t know if they were fine either. We don’t know what’s the situation on their side at all. Captain Liu said they would be back at night, but it seems they could not make it.”

After Luo Qingcheng heard this, she felt a little relieved.

At least, it could not be confirmed that something had happened to Liu Yan and the others. It was just that Liu Yan had violated the contract, so people were worried that something might have happened. However, this was only a possibility. No one knew what the actual situation was.

Luo Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, “We can also think on the bright side. Maybe something happened, and they can’t get away for the time being. Or they can’t rush back in time. To avoid danger, they might as well hide outside for the night.”

Sun Wen nodded. “Agree. Captain and the others might be back tomorrow morning. We’ve been worried for nothing.”

Murong Xue felt worried as she spoke, “Should I go to the forest to investigate? My strength is not bad. I have also reached 7-star combat strength. The key is that my defense is strong, so it’s not easy for me to get into trouble. If I encounter danger, I’ll just run.”

Murong Xue was confident in her strength. Even if she were to encounter a powerful existence and could not defeat the other party, she could still defend herself. Her defense was superb, so she just had to defend and escape, and there wouldn’t be any danger.

Chu Long couldn’t help but agree. “That’s right. Sister Murong Xue is the strongest among us. She’s the most reliable person.”
