spooky invasion

Chapter 1038

If we continue to follow up, won't we tell everyone that we have lost a lot of people on our side, while our opponents are still at large?

It is conceivable that in that case, how passive he would be, and how much he would be questioned.

It is the smartest choice to stop at this point and stop searching and killing.

Of course, stopping searching doesn't mean doing nothing.

All aspects still need to continue to be vigilant, as long as the opponent does not enter the core area to run wild, like a mouse hiding in the dark, then let him go.

Now Mr. Shuzu has a lot of clues, but there is no need to continue to waste manpower and energy on it.

With such a large-scale mobilization of manpower, Mr. Wu is somewhat skeptical. What is the motive of the other party?Could it be that he deliberately called out the troops in the core area so as to attack the main body of Lord Shu Zu?

Although this possibility is very slim, Mr. Wu felt that he still had to take this into consideration.

Although the search was stopped, the cloud of this incident hung over the minds of every participant.

Everyone inexplicably felt a feeling of sorrow for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Overnight, hundreds of people disappeared without any reason.It is unknown who the enemy is and whether they died together.

Originally, he took refuge in Mr. Shu Zu, just for the sake of surviving and getting ahead.But the facts are cruelly placed in front of them.

Once the situation changes, once a conflict breaks out, these so-called agents are nothing more than thugs and cannon fodder.

If you sacrifice, you will sacrifice. Who will complain for them?Who will feel sorry for them?
……

And Jiang Yue and Jiang Qiao father and son also returned to their station.

Jiang Qiao's agent in disguise, because of the "survival after the catastrophe", the two have a close relationship, which is not particularly abrupt in the eyes of other agents.

Anyway, the team they belonged to has been wiped out, and there are two lone rangers left. It is reasonable and reasonable to be willing to report to the team together to keep warm, and other agents can't say anything.

Of course, as for how to arrange the follow-up, Jiang Yue and Jiang Qiao have actually thought about it.

In the end, it still had to be resolved on that brother Xia.

Brother Xia is a second-level agent. Although his team is dead, a second-level agent will definitely recover and use it again.

It would also be reasonable to be in Xia Ge's new team at that time.

It was almost dawn when they returned to the station.

And the several squads to which they were stationed were almost gone in this operation.As a result, the area where they live is particularly deserted and desolate.

This made the reunion of their father and son less disturbing.

After closing the door, the father and son recovered their looks and were in a good mood.

With no pressure and no interference from outsiders, the father and son began to talk about the past.

Jiang Yue had already told Jiang Qiao about the things about Jiang Yue in Xingcheng and his hometown.

But Jiang Yue had no way of knowing what Jiang Qiao had done all these years after he left his home in Crescent Harbor.

"Dad, isn't the place where my mother disappeared in the Central South Region? How did you find the West Frontier Region?"

"Central South Region, West Frontier Region... Xiaoyue, do you know how many strongholds the Earth Core Clan's Strange Tree has in our Dazhang Kingdom?"

"We have made some calculations before, and there should be six or seven."

"That's right, there are seven in total. There are 28 strongholds in the entire Gaia planet. Our Dazhang Kingdom owns a quarter."

Jiang Yue smiled wryly: "That is to say, our Dazhang Kingdom will bear a quarter of the pressure from the Earth Core Clan?"

"It's reasonable to calculate this account. However, Xiaoyue, if the Earth Core Race is really allowed to return to the surface, the chances of us humans winning are probably very small."

Jiang Yue pursed his lips, but did not continue to delve into this question, but asked: "Dad, have you found any clues related to Mom these years?"

Jiang Qiao was silent for a moment before slowly nodding his head: "There are always clues, and I just followed the clues to find out that I came from the Western Region."

"Originally, I doubted my own judgment a bit. But when you mentioned that Professor Lu Jinwen is also here, I am even more convinced that your mother is very likely to be here too. Of course, they may have been sent to the lair of the Earth Clan long ago went."

"what?"

Jiang Yue was taken aback.

He also knew before that there are many strong people on the human side, and before the strange era came, they investigated various things about the Earth Core Race.

Including the grandfather Yunhe, who deceived everyone by feigning death in his hometown of Panshiling, but in fact he is hiding from the world and secretly investigating the situation of the Earth Core Clan.

According to the information he got at the Panshiling Ancestral Hall, Jiang Yue knew that his grandfather was currently investigating in the land of the Earth Core Clan.

I just don't know, does my father know about this?

"Dad, how much do you know about grandpa?" Jiang Yue asked tentatively.

When asking these words, Jiang Yue was more or less scrupulous.Because when I was communicating with my grandfather in the ancestral hall, my grandfather mentioned that there was some estrangement between the father and son between grandfather and father because of the mother's affairs.

At that time, Grandpa did not elaborate on what the gap was.

But it was about something between the elders, so Jiang Yue couldn't ask rashly.Therefore, when talking about grandpa, Jiang Yue was also cautious.

Jiang Qiao's face darkened, and a trace of shame appeared on his face, but Jiang Yue's worried emotions were revealed.

"Xiaoyue, if you ask this question, you must know that Grandpa's tomb in Dajin Mountain is a tomb of clothes that deceive people's eyes."

Jiang Yue nodded, it seemed that his father knew about it.

"Oh, Xiaoyue, you are very good. Since childhood, your grandfather said that none of our three brothers are like him, but you, the eldest grandson, are the most favored, saying that you will inherit his mantle in the future. And our three brothers, indeed None of them followed his old man's heart. Your uncle is pragmatic, but your grandfather commented that he lacks flexibility; as for me, your grandfather criticized me as more personal than moral; your third uncle is too frivolous and embarrassing for heavy responsibilities."

"Before, our three brothers refused to accept it, but now it seems that your grandpa's vision is indeed superior to ordinary people. Facts have also proved that his judgment is correct. I have neither been a good son nor a good father. These years, suffering You two brothers and sisters."

To say it was bitter, it was a bit bitter.But when his father left home, Jiang Yue was already quite young, and with his elder sister taking care of him, Jiang Yue didn't suffer much.

Apart from the lack of the blessings of the elders, the siblings did not suffer much grievance in terms of material life.

However, in the past few years, both siblings have cultivated independent personalities, which is why Jiang Yue can easily adapt to the strange era and quickly take charge of it.

"Xiaoyue, these years, you and your sister, will you blame your father for being too selfish? Don't care about leaving you?"

Jiang Yue smiled lightly and took a deep breath.

To say that at the beginning, he felt somewhat lost, even blamed.

But over the past few years, coupled with the understanding of some things left by his father, he gradually became able to understand his father's mood.

Why don't I miss my mother day and night?What's more, for the father, it was his first wife.

I understood my father's feelings, and the emotions at the beginning have long since disappeared.

"Dad, I know you want us to have a complete family and to get my mother back. These years, it's not our siblings who suffered the most, but you."

Jiang Yue looked at his father's temples slightly frosted, and could imagine how much suffering and pain he had been through these years.

Jiang Qiao covered his face with his hands, and to avoid embarrassment, he gently rubbed his forehead with his fingers, but in fact he was covering up his red eye circles.

At this moment, he broke the defense.

His son's cold and hot words completely broke his emotional defenses.

The loneliness, despair and pain he has encountered in these years, at this moment, these emotions continue to flow like a bankrupt.

All the frustration and despair did not make him lose control of his emotions.

But when faced with his son's words, he couldn't help his nose sore after all, his eye circles were red, and tiger tears rolled in his eye sockets.

The father and son were so tacitly silent.

After a long time, Jiang Qiao finally calmed down and showed an apologetic smile.

"Xiaoyue, I'm a dad, you're laughing at me. If your grandpa sees this, he'll scold me for being worthless." Speaking of his father, Jiang Qiao didn't have any resentment, only warmth and guilt.

"After your mother had an accident, I also contacted your grandfather using a secret method, and begged him to find a way to help find your mother."

"What does my grandfather say?"

"He didn't respond." Jiang Qiao sighed, "Because of this, I still feel resentful, thinking that the old man is too unkind. She is his daughter-in-law."

Jiang Yue was silent, he finally knew what the estrangement that grandpa was talking about was at the beginning.

"Maybe... grandpa also has his own difficulties?" Jiang Yue could only make amends.

Jiang Qiao nodded heavily: "Yes, your master does have difficulties. He is in the territory of the earth core tribe. If I contact him with a secret method, it will be easy for him to be exposed. And what he did is very secretive and urgent. , how can I have the energy and time to find your mother?"

"Of course, I realized these things slowly later." Jiang Qiao added with a wry smile.

"Xiao Yue, have you contacted your grandfather?"

"To be precise, it was Grandpa who contacted Sangou and me." Jiang Yue immediately recounted the incident in the ancestral hall of his ancestral home.

Jiang Qiao, as the son of the old man Yunhe, has received the old man's inheritance, and naturally knows many things about the old Jiang's family.

But hearing that his father mentioned the estrangement between them, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty.In the final analysis, it was him who was ignorant as a son and made the old man suffer.

"Xiaoyue, I couldn't understand your grandfather's painstaking efforts when I was 40 years old. You understood before you were 20 years old. It can be seen that your grandfather said that you are more like him. This is a very wise judgment." Jiang Qiao couldn't help feeling.

Jiang Yue got along very well with his grandfather since he was a child, and he was deeply doted on by his grandfather. This point ran through Jiang Yue's entire childhood, and Jiang Yue knew it well.

It's just that he never expected that his grandfather's evaluation of himself was so high, even surpassing his three sons, which was beyond Jiang Yue's expectation.

"Dad, you said that the investigation of my mother's clues has even been sent to the territory of the Earth Core Clan in the Western Frontier Region. Have you been staying here all this time?"

"Hehe, I've only been here for the past few months. I rushed to the West Frontier Region only after hearing that the strange tree here is extremely strong."

"Then you have been in the Central South Region before?"

"No, I have traveled all over the country. I have investigated all the clues related to the Earth Clan. Why do I know that there are seven strange trees in Dazhang? That is because I have traveled all over the country over the years."

"Dad, so you already knew that the strange era was coming? You knew the existence of the strange tree?"

"No, no, that's not it. Before the strangeness came, I just collected all kinds of strange signs and investigated all kinds of useful clues, so I deliberately wrote it down. And the area where the strange tree appeared, the signs were similar. I came to the West In the frontier region, after noticing some characteristics of the strange tree, when pushing back, I deduced from memory that there should be seven strange trees. In addition to the western frontier region and our star city, there is also Canglang big District, Zhongzhou District..."

This time, Jiang Yue was really shocked.

You know, before he came to the Western Territory, the ppt made by the Luoteng Operations Bureau actually locked in four places for the Tree of Strangeness.

They are the West Frontier Region, the Central South Region, the Canglang Region and the Zhongzhou Region.

Others are just inferences, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

And my father has traveled all over the country in these years, and has inadvertently mastered all the domestic strongholds of the strange tree.

What's even more absurd is that so far, the center has not fully grasped where the specific strongholds of the strange tree are.

Looking at his son's strange eyes, Jiang Qiao was a little puzzled.

"Xiao Yue, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Jiang Yue asked, "Dad, are you sure that there must be seven weird trees in our Dazhang Kingdom?"

"Our old Jiang's family still has this ability, I'm very sure."

"Then are you sure you know where they are?"

"Hehe, if I don't know, how can I quickly lock onto the Western Frontier Region?"

"But have you never dealt with officials in these years?"

Jiang Qiao was taken aback for a while before he said in a low voice, "I haven't dealt with anyone these years. I'm afraid of exposing myself. I have to live like a beast and hide like a ghost. I'm worried that if I reveal my identity, it will hurt you all." Brother and sister."

"You must be wondering why I haven't been home once these years. In fact, I have been back to Crescent Harbor many times, but every time I have no courage to show up. I don't want to leave any traces of my existence in front of people. I don't I hope to bring any bad luck to your siblings. If it is the bad luck that our old Jiang family must endure, I hope it will last until my generation."

"Unfortunately, this is just my naive idea. Fate is always fate, with incredible inertia. The arrival of the weird era will never change because of my personal wishes."

It can be seen that Jiang Qiao's years of wandering have lost the bookish spirit of a beginner official, and his thinking has become much more pragmatic.

Jiang Yue had mixed feelings.

Just because his father left home, it didn't mean that he really left their siblings behind.

From his words, it can be heard how lonely and lonely he has lived these years.

He had never dealt with anyone else!
No wonder, he knows that there are seven strange trees, but the outside world has not synchronized this precious information.
