Many of the janitors present were astonished by the appearance of the person before them.
Especially those like Jiang Huihui, who were preparing to enter the ruins and battle the alien races for the first time.
Previously, they had all seen videos and witnessed many alien races.
But seeing one in person gave a completely different feeling.
Ma Henggu and Du Yan had also come here together.
Just as Du Yan was about to make a move, the alien immediately raised its hand. "Don't kill me! I'm only here to deliver information to you."
As he spoke, this middle-aged man took a button from his pocket and threw it into the distance.
Ma Henggu glanced at the man, then walked over and picked up the button.
It was indeed a camera carried by a janitor.
He immediately took out his phone, input the serial number on it, and through facial recognition, accessed the recorded footage.
"Our clan leader said to skip to the very end of the video."
The alien middle-aged man in the distance said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ma Henggu dragged the video's progress bar to the end.
Du Yan, standing beside him, also tilted his head to look.
In the footage, seven or eight janitors were lying on the ground, appearing very weak.
These were precisely the people who had gone missing earlier.
"The clan leader has no intention of fighting you. As long as you leave this area for three days, we will release them."
The middle-aged man continued, "Before nightfall, the clan leader will send someone to check. If you haven't left, he will randomly kill a few first."
Whoosh!
Du Yan's figure blurred as he grabbed the man by the neck with one hand, pinning him to the ground.
The Four-Eyes Clan member's face changed drastically. He immediately said, "If I don't return to deliver the message, they will die too."
But Du Yan's hand not only didn't loosen, it squeezed tighter. "Speak! What is Xie Wangwei's relationship with you?"
"Mr. Xie? He is a friend of our clan leader. As for anything else, I know nothing at all."
The Four-Eyes Clan member said hurriedly.
Du Yan's eyes were icy cold. He grabbed the Four-Eyes Clan member's neck and simply flung him away. "Get lost! Tell Xie Wangwei that the one who kills him in the end will definitely be me!"
The Four-Eyes Clan member scrambled up from the ground and quickly ran towards the entrance of the ruins.
Xu Mu stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a large tree nearby. Judging from Du Yan and Xie Wangwei's fighting styles...
The two might have been on good terms before, but something caused a rift.
They both used Wood Attribute Qi, and their fighting styles were also very similar.
Xu Mu recalled back at Reckless Mountain when Du Yan grabbed someone's fist and the fight was over.
Now he understood the reason: the moment he grabbed the fist, the vines in his palm penetrated through the fist, directly piercing the inside of the arm and injuring vital points.
"What about these hostages?"
Fu Nanshan walked over to Du Yan. Originally, they thought it was just some ordinary alien races, but it unexpectedly involved a Red Grade-A fugitive from the Sanitation Department.
"We've already notified a Director. He should be here soon. We'll decide then."
Du Yan said calmly.
Seeing the matter concluded, Xu Mu sat back down in a distant, unoccupied spot.
This time, Jiang Huihui was also nearby.
"Huihui, is this Red Grade-A fugitive very strong?"
Xu Mu asked with a smile.
"Of course. You have to understand, the highest fugitive level set by our Sanitation Department is SSS."
Jiang Huihui looked at Xu Mu and explained, "Those powerful organizations and alien races are designated with substitutes like Red Grade-A, Red Grade-B, and so on."
"I think I heard you say that the Eternal Life Research Institute is a Red Grade-A wanted organization."
Xu Mu suddenly said.
"Correct. But if an individual fugitive is designated Red Grade-A, it proves that person's level of danger is comparable to those organizations."
Jiang Huihui paused, "That bastard uncle of mine is also a Red Grade-A fugitive."
Hearing this, Xu Mu nodded inwardly. These were all major villains.
About an hour or so later, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky above.
Before long, a military helicopter hovered at a high altitude, and a person jumped directly down from several dozen meters up.
He was a middle-aged man, with slicked-back hair, wearing a Zhongshan suit, carrying a black briefcase, roughly around fifty years old.
He had a crew cut and upturned eyes.
After landing, the helicopter above flew away into the distance.
Xu Mu looked at the middle-aged man over there and asked, "Are Directors senior janitors?"
"No, most Directors are intermediate janitors. They are former squad leaders who stepped down, continued advanced training in combat, and only then qualified to become Directors."
Jiang Huihui explained, "Becoming a senior janitor isn't that easy."
Xu Mu took a deep breath and stretched vigorously. He felt janitors were too busy.
He wanted to have his own time. Compared to work and slacking off, he would definitely choose slacking off.
Even without joining the janitors, he felt he could still do some janitorial work.
In the distance, the Director was chatting with Du Yan and Ma Henggu.
Fu Nanshan also walked over at this point.
After discussing for about ten minutes, the Director in the Zhongshan suit, Wang Qian, clapped his hands loudly a few times.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Qian, a Director of the Ba-Shu Region Sanitation Department. Next, I have a difficult task here."
As Wang Qian spoke, he opened his black briefcase.
He took out an oval-shaped token from inside. "This is a teleportation formation token."
Xu Mu also looked over there now, listening quietly.
"I want a few of you to infiltrate the interior and assess the hostages' situation."
Wang Qian continued, "Alien races are typically brutal by nature. It's very possible these hostages are already dead. Naturally, we cannot be threatened by dead people."
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
...
Many janitors around raised their hands, as there was an escape method available.
Even if the mission failed, they could still get credit for it.
"Don't celebrate too soon, everyone. There's one more thing I haven't said. First, our teleportation token can only teleport up to ten kilometers."
Wang Qian looked at the people around him. "And the distance within this ruin far exceeds ten kilometers. I think you understand what this represents: the teleportation point must be placed inside, not at the exit."
Hearing this, those who had raised their hands slowly lowered them.
Originally, they thought the token could be placed at the exit. If they encountered danger, they could teleport directly to the exit and get out.
Now, with this distance preventing teleportation to the exit, it needed to be placed in the middle section of the ruins.
Meaning, if they encountered danger, they could only teleport to a midpoint within the ruins and still have some distance to cover to escape.
What if they encountered powerful alien experts along that route?
"I will apply to the Director's Council to classify this mission as S-rank."
Wang Qian continued, looking around at everyone.
"I'll go!"
Jiang Huihui raised her hand and said.
"Good."
Wang Qian nodded at Jiang Huihui and looked around. "Who else is going?"
Chen Xuan whispered in Xu Mu's ear at this moment, "Brother Mu, why isn't he going?"
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride. Lin Xuan's eyes light up, eager to pledge his loyalty on the spot, but instead, her kiss transfers a glass of drugged wine into his mouth, causing him to pass out... 【Male Protagonist with Single Female Lead】【Yandere Tycoon】【Action-Packed】【True vs. Fake Heir】
