At that moment.
With Zhang Wei's return, along with the legendary blood of Wan Taisui, everyone's oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and they were overjoyed. They chatted and laughed all the way.
"Captain Zhang Wei, how did you escape?"
Huang Xiaodan asked curiously.
Everyone else looked over. Although they didn't ask, their eyes were the same as Huang Xiaodan's.
Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously:
"Well, it's because I have a good relationship with Wan Taisui. Han Ba originally wanted to eat me, but with Wan Taisui blocking, it's possible, just as I guessed, that Wan Taisui is Han Ba's offspring, and Han Ba couldn't resist Wan Taisui's coquettish behavior."
"So Han Ba didn't eat me, and didn't even want the Heart of God. I exchanged Huang Xiaodan's snacks for Wan Taisui's blood. Wan Taisui is a treasure all over, and with its blood, it should be able to save Old Master Huang."
"It can be saved, it definitely can be saved."
Huang San chuckled, clutching the backpack tightly. Inside was the bottle of Wan Taisui's blood, the lifeline to save their Old Master Huang.
No one doubted Zhang Wei's words, after all, Wan Taisui was indeed the only one who had a good relationship with Zhang Wei.
Thinking of this.
Huang San said with a solemn expression:
"Captain Zhang Wei, we really have you to thank this time. Without you, our search team would never have returned intact."
Others nodded in agreement:
"Yes, the corpse tide fog, the large-scale corpse tide riot in the depths of the Yunnan Worm Valley, the appearance of Han Ba, these were enough to kill us hundreds of times. We are truly grateful to Captain Zhang Wei, you are our savior."
"I feel like I didn't do anything this trip, only Captain Zhang Wei and Master Lin Gu did something. I feel like a freeloader, hahahaha."
"Damn, what are you saying? Stop talking, fellow freeloader plus one, hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
At the same time.
Those who had been hiding felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't helped much this time, had even fled in fear, and in the end, they benefited from Zhang Wei. Once they returned, they would receive generous rewards from the Huang family.
Involuntarily.
They coughed awkwardly, apologized to Zhang Wei and the others, and one of them said frankly:
"We didn't help at all this time, and we almost got Captain Zhang Wei killed. We're sorry, everyone. We won't take the Huang family's reward this time."
As the other hiding people agreed one after another, Zhang Wei waved his hand to interrupt them:
"Everyone, don't blame yourselves. Fleeing in that situation is not a shameful decision. If it were me, I might have done the same. After all, we are not related by blood. We are here to help find Wan Taisui, not to risk our lives. "
"And don't say we didn't contribute. In the corpse tide fog, if it weren't for everyone working together to deal with the蛊虫群 and zombie hordes affected by Han Ba's corpse energy, and the final actions of the sealing door zombies, we might not have been able to get out so safely."
"Moreover, along the way, everyone was vigilant about the surroundings, which is why we arrived at the depths without any danger."
Huang San also took over Zhang Wei's words at this time:
"Captain Zhang Wei is right. I have seen everyone's help, and our Huang family is immensely grateful. Don't say you don't want the reward. This way, I'll feel like you look down on my Northeast Huang family, haha."
Immediately after.
Huang San smiled and said to Zhang Wei:
"As for Captain Zhang Wei, the reward must be doubled, haha. I wonder what reward Captain Zhang Wei wants, a Zhenguo-level magic artifact? Or something else? Our Huang family will do our best for you."
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."
"It's okay, it's okay. Captain Zhang Wei can think about it slowly. Just contact Captain Huang Qingshan or me when the time comes."
...
Time flies.
On the other side.
In front of the cave leading to the Yunnan Worm Valley on the ground.
Huang Qingshan yawned as he walked out of the temporarily erected tent. The first thing he saw was the Huang family head sitting by the campfire in the tent, with some Wei Dao Si personnel scattered around.
After Zhang Wei and the others entered the cave, Huang Qingshan and the others chose not to leave but to set up camp there, waiting for Zhang Wei and the others to come out. This was because they had agreed with Zhang Wei and the others beforehand that they would go to the Yunnan Worm Valley for 6 days, and whether they found Wan Taisui or not, they had to come out after 6 days.
"Old Huang, aren't you going back to the Huang family?"
Huang Qingshan said.
The Huang family head stirred the firewood in the fire with a branch and glanced sideways:
"I'm not going back. I'll go back after the results of this time are out. I don't want to hear bad news at home again. Besides, both my sons are in this team, so I have no intention of going back with peace of mind. What about you? Why aren't you going back with me? Didn't you always arrange for people to wait here and then leave?"
Huang Qingshan sat beside him and said:
"How could I not? This is the last time. It depends on whether it succeeds or not. I have no intention of going back. If Old Master Huang dies, the Northeast will change, and I, as the person in charge, will be extremely troubled. It's rare to be so leisurely here now."
Speaking of this.
Huang Qingshan looked leisurely towards the entrance of the cave and suddenly asked:
"What day is it now?"
"The third day."
"Time passes so slowly, it's only the third day. I wonder how Zhang Wei and the others are doing. The previous batches of searchers got results around this time. Alas."
Speaking of this.
Huang Qingshan was a little afraid to look at the cave, for fear of seeing Zhang Wei and the others walking out of the cave at this moment.
Not only him, but the Huang family head was also a little afraid to look. It was because the previous search teams returned around this time, which meant failure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have returned so early.
However.
Just as they were about to turn their heads, they caught a glimpse of figures walking out of the cave entrance.
"Damn! It can't be this evil."
"Damn, I'm such a jinx."
Huang Qingshan and the Huang family head trembled, their hearts sinking.
As they looked closer.
Seeing the figures walking out of the cave were Zhang Wei and the others, Huang Qingshan and the Huang family head's faces were already filled with despair. Zhang Wei and the others had come out at the most inappropriate time.
"It's over, it's over."
The Huang family head muttered, his gaze fixed on Zhang Wei, noticing his tattered clothes.
Seeing this.
The Huang family head's despair deepened. He exchanged glances with Huang Qingshan and could see the same helplessness and despair in each other's eyes. Zhang Wei looked so miserable, his clothes were so tattered. It seemed like a failure, otherwise, why would he be so miserable and come out so early?
At the same time.
Zhang Wei and the others walked out briskly and immediately saw Huang Qingshan and the Huang family head sitting not far from the cave.
"Dad!"
"Captain Huang Qingshan."
Huang Xiaodan waved frantically at the Huang family head, his heart filled with the joy of completing the mission. He didn't notice the Huang family head's bitter expression at all. The others were the same.
On the other side.
The Huang family head and the two received the calls from Huang Xiaodan and the others. Although they felt that the mission was not completed, they still hurried over. After all, even if the mission was not completed, human lives were important. They thought that Zhang Wei and the others came out so early because they had failed and some people were seriously injured, just like the previous batches.
However.
As they approached Zhang Wei and the others, the Huang family head and Huang Qingshan were stunned. They noticed the expressions on Zhang Wei and the others' faces. They didn't look like they had failed the mission at all. They looked like they were… smiling?
