Unusual sound at dawn?
Qin Ze became interested.
"Didn't you tell the military investigators about this?"
Huai Xu replied: "I did, but they didn't hear anything."
"It seems that only I can hear this sound. They all say that I have war syndrome and hallucinations."
The suspicion of the military investigators is also unreasonable.
New recruits like Huai Xu who are new to the battlefield are not very adaptable to the battlefield environment. It is indeed easy to have various hallucinations, even paranoia.
Huai Xu said seriously: "I can be sure that it is not a hallucination."
Qin Ze said lightly: "How can you be sure, just based on your words?"
Huai Xu explained: "My innate ability is precision, but I am used to calling it Eagle Eyes."
He took off the longbow behind him and patted it: "As the name suggests, this ability makes my shooting more accurate."
"The ability is not only improved in vision, but also in various senses, including hearing, after all, it is also a part of precision."
Qin Ze was not surprised.
When the professional team went on a mission together before, he found that Huai Xu's intuition was very accurate. It turned out that it was caused by his innate ability.
Qin Ze pondered for a moment: "You mean, only your ability can detect the unusual sound at dawn?"
Huai Xu nodded.
"If you don't believe it, just treat it as nonsense."
Qin Ze looked at the "night sky" in the abyss: "It will be dawn again in a few hours. Whether it is your illusion, you will know then."
The professional team also has patrol tasks at night.
Huai Xu did not accompany Qin Ze for too long, and soon followed Lu Tongtong and Wen Jing to patrol.
Late at night, the artillery sound at the forefront stopped again.
Qin Ze had walked through several positions around, and the situation was similar.
Regarding the unusual sound at dawn mentioned by Huai Xu, no one in these positions heard it.
Qin Ze then went to the forefront. He had just repelled the attack of the alien beast. The corpses of the alien beast here had been piled up into a hill, and the flamethrowers and warriors with fire abilities were burning the corpses.
"Who are you?"
A blood-stained officer came forward and looked at Qin Ze warily.
Qin Ze showed the card: "I am here to investigate the epidemic."
The officer lowered his guard after seeing the card: "I am the commander here. If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly."
Qin Ze got straight to the point: "Have you noticed anything unusual in the sky above the position at dawn recently?"
"For example, inexplicable strange noises, or special lights."
The officer thought: "I didn't hear any strange noises, but I did feel something was wrong at dawn recently."
Qin Ze couldn't wait to ask: "What? ”
The officer replied: "Wind."
Qin Ze asked in surprise: "Wind?"
The officer nodded: "The Abyss rarely blows wind, at least I haven't encountered it many times in the years I have been stationed in the Abyss."
"But these days, every time the dawn breaks, the strange beasts will rush over like crazy, and then I will notice the wind formed by the air flow."
"At first I thought it was the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell, but in the next few days I was sure that it was the wind."
"The shock wave of the shell is not so gentle."
Qin Ze frowned.
Strange noise plus strange wind.
What combination is this?
The officer then looked at the burning corpse of the alien beast and continued: "In the past two years, the alien beasts have become more and more active, and the frequency of attacks has increased, but they have never been as regular as recently."
"Every day at dawn, they attack the position on time, as if they are punching in for work."
"The intensity is not high, there are only a few thousand low-level alien beasts, and basically two rounds of artillery fire can repel them."
"Day after day..."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly: "The alien beasts are using attacks to cover up something."
The officer nodded: "I have the same feeling."
Qin Ze has dealt with many alien beasts. Although he doesn't know as much as a farmer knows about manure, he is an old acquaintance.
The alien beasts are also intelligent. It is not like they would do such stupid behavior as punching in every day to send people to the head.
"By the way, there is one more thing." The officer suddenly turned around and said: "I just received the news."
"The first batch of critically ill patients sent back to Penglai City have shown a trend of recovery."
Qin Ze was surprised and said: "Have you developed a special medicine?"
When did the military's medical team become so efficient?
The officer shook his head: "They got better without any treatment."
A series of question marks appeared above Qin Ze's head.
The officer said lightly: "This is all the information I know. I don't know if it is helpful to you."
"The intensity of the war is increasing every day. We frontline personnel have little time to think about the investigation."I'll leave everything to you."
"There are more and more sick soldiers now, and Penglai City's reserve troops are almost used up."
"All cities are already transferring soldiers to Xuecheng, but it takes time."
"If the beasts attack at the current scale every day, we can still hold on."
"But if they suddenly form a larger beast tide, or simply burst into a tidal wave, Penglai City may be in danger of falling."
Qin Ze realized the seriousness of the situation. The beasts were like cutting meat with a blunt knife, waiting for the final fatal blow.
A scout soldier hurried over and saluted and reported: "Sir, I just found another hunting beast."
"But the beast was too cunning, I couldn't catch it, and it ran away."
The officer nodded: "I know, continue to investigate."
The soldier saluted and left.
Qin Ze was curious: "Are there many hunting beasts? "
The officer replied: "There weren't many before, and you wouldn't even see one in a month."
"It was only when the soldiers got sick that the number of hunting beasts increased."
"But these beasts wandering around run away when they see people, never fight with the soldiers, and it's unclear what they are doing."
"All I can do is to ask the soldiers to take strict precautions."
The strange sound at dawn, the gentle breeze, and more and more hunting beasts...
Intuition told Qin Ze that these were definitely not coincidences.
This sudden epidemic that swept across all the positions was probably related to the strange beasts. These beasts seemed to be planning something in secret.
As dawn approached, Qin Ze returned to the position where Lu Tongtong and the others were.
It happened that the professional team came back from patrolling at this time, and Qin Ze called Huai Xu.
"It's almost dawn, stay with me for a while."
Huai Xu stopped beside him: "Okay. "
Lu Tongtong blinked at Qin Ze and stood beside him.
Wen Jing also stopped when he saw this.
After a while, the fat man walked out of the tent with a cane, and his complexion did not improve.
Huai Xu said, "Why did you come out?"
The fat man waved his hand: "If nothing unexpected happens, the alien beast will attack again later, and I, the great magician, have to cover for you."
Huai Xu made a "tsk" sound, but he was honest and went forward to support the fat man.
The five people lined up in a row, facing the front line, waiting for dawn.
Qin Ze smiled knowingly, he didn't expect the professional team to be fully assembled at this time.
As a ray of light pierced the dark sky, the dawn of the abyss arrived.
Swish-boom--
At the same time, the rumbling sound of artillery at the front position broke the silence.
