Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

Chapter 140 Exploration Team

The three people didn't know how long they walked in the tunnel, but finally they saw the light.

"Senior, look! That should be the exit! Let's go!"

Zhiqiong, who was originally too tired to move, immediately became energetic after seeing the new light, and quickly pulled Ying's hand and ran out.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Paimon was floating behind, swaying and wandering, and when he realized that the two people had run far away, he hurriedly shouted and followed them.

Several people walked faster and the light in front of them became brighter and brighter. Finally, they walked out of the tunnel, and there was a camp next to the tunnel entrance.

There were several people in the camp, all of them staring in shock as three people walked out of the tunnel. One of them even dropped a biscuit on the ground without picking it up.

Several people were stunned for a long time, and then the tall and thin man pushed the stunned woman next to him with his elbow.

"Sister Jinwu, did you see anyone coming? Are we hallucinating by staying here?"

The woman still maintained the same posture as before, saying: "I think I am hallucinating, I also saw someone coming."

The tall and thin man continued:

"Sister Jinwu, it seems that we can't eat too many mushrooms underground. If we eat more, we might have all kinds of hallucinations."

"What illusion or not? We are all real people!"

Zhiqiong was probably tired of standing, so she started talking and then jumped in front of a few people.

"Look, they are all living people. Look, I can still jump and dance! How can this be an illusion?"

"Sister Jinwu, this illusion is so real! There's even sound."

The man nudged the woman next to him with his elbow again, and the woman suddenly reacted and explained:

"What kind of hallucination? This is a real person! Didn't I report this to the General Affairs Department some time ago? He must have been sent by the General Affairs Department."

"But they all look quite young. The General Affairs Department wouldn't send such young children to such a dangerous place, right?"

"Hey! Did you see that?"

Zhiqiong took out the golden badge Ying gave her and showed it to several people in the camp.

The men gathered together and looked at the golden badge.

"Sister Jinwu, this is indeed Mu Ning's exclusive badge, but why is it in the hands of these girls?"

"What's the point of asking me? I don't know either! You should ask Mu Ning!"

"Oh, um, sister, this is what Mu Ning gave us. Because I was busy with something, I didn't print the document, so I used this to prove it to you!"

Zhiqiong was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

"Um……"

The woman stroked her chin and looked at Zhiqiong, Ying, and Paimon, thinking about something. After a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the woman's serious face.

"Okay, hello, my name is Jin Wu, I'm a safety technician at the Layered Abyss, and I'm also the main person in charge and captain of the Layered Abyss Exploration Team! You can just call me Sister Jin Wu, that's what everyone calls me."

"Hello, Sister Jinwu!"

Ying, Zhiqiong and Paimeng greeted Jinwu in unison.

"Hey, good, so good!"

Jin Wu smiled and pointed at the tall and thin man next to him and said:

"His name is Haidifu. He is a top student who graduated from Xumi University and is also considered a scholar. He is mainly responsible for explaining the anomalies of the Stratum Chasm and other anomalies. He should be about the same age as you. It should be okay to call him by his name. You can also call him brother."

Haidi smiled and shook hands with Zhiqiong and the others.

"Hello, it's nice to be on the same team with you!"

Then Jinwu pointed at the man next to Khediv and said, "His name is Taliesin, he's a bard, he's probably here just to liven up the atmosphere, he's useless."

When Jinwu said this, Taliesin was immediately dissatisfied and quickly retorted:

"Hey! Sister Jinwu, it's not very kind of you to say that! After all, I graduated from a geological university and I know a lot about geology. Bard is just the profession I filled in when I applied to join the team! Can you please respect me a little bit!"

Jinwu saw that Taliesin was unhappy, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke, just a joke!"

"That's not funny at all!"

"Who is that person? Sister Jinwu?"

Zhiqiong pointed at the person sitting over there in the tent. That person was thin and looked haggard.

Jinwu looked in the direction Zhiqiong pointed and saw that the smile on the man's face had half disappeared.

"He, his name is Jack, he calls himself Man Jack, he is quite smart, highly educated, a graduate student in geology, but he is too timid, he got so scared after walking a few steps here that his legs went limp. Since he joined the stratum exploration team, he has not stepped out of the camp because of his timidity! I really don't understand how Mu Ning got him to join in the first place!"

Jinwu introduced Jack while complaining about him.

Just as Jinwu finished speaking, he turned around and asked Zhiqiong and the others: "Hey, by the way, what are your names? I've been here for a long time and I still don't know your names!"

"Hello, Sister Jinwu! My name is Zhiqiong!"

Zhiqiong also enthusiastically introduced herself to Jinwu.

"My name is Ying, and the little guy floating next to me is called Paimon."

Ying pointed at Paimon next to her and introduced him.

"Oh~ So your names are Zhiqiong, Ying, and Paimeng! Come, sit inside the camp for a while. My waist hurts from standing outside and talking!"

Jinwu leaned back and supported his waist with his hands, doing a stretching movement, and then invited them to sit together in the camp.

"Come on, Khediv and Taliesin, you two take our new member to the camp and have a seat. I'll boil some tea!"

Jin Wu commanded the two men, then he stood up, picked up an iron kettle and walked to the other side.

Ying, Zhiqiong and others followed the two men's instructions and walked into the camp, then sat down around a table.

The so-called table is also made of a relatively smooth large stone, and the surrounding benches are some wooden boxes covered with a layer of dry grass stems.

The two men seemed to have nothing to say. Zhiqiong and Ying turned aside with blushing faces. Haidi picked up a book and pretended to read it, while Taliesin took out his harmonica and played some unknown tune. Seeing that no one said anything, Ying and Paimon just sat there waiting.

This awkward scene lasted for a while and was finally broken by Jinwu, who came over with a pot of steaming water. She saw this scene.

pop- pop-

He slapped Khediv and Taliesin on the head.

The two of them touched their heads and said to Jinwu at the same time: "Sister Jinwu, what are you doing!"

"You're asking me what I'm doing? I'm just sitting there, what are you doing? One is reading a book, the other is playing the piano, why aren't you so serious at ordinary times? At least chat with the girl! Don't let her sit there! Really, you're already a grown man of 20 years old, but you can't even entertain guests!"

The two were silent for a while after being scolded by Jin Wu, and then:

"Oh...I see, Sister Jinwu."

After Jinwu taught the two people a lesson, he turned to look at Ying and others, and his serious face was immediately filled with smiles again.

"I'm so sorry, these two have been underground for too long and don't know how to entertain guests. Please forgive me!"

Jinwu apologized with a smile while taking out a few bowls, pouring some water into each bowl and giving each to the three people.

Ying looked down and saw that the water in the bowl was a little yellow, so it seemed to be tea.

"I'm really sorry, there are limited supplies underground, and we don't have the tea sold outside. These are some grasses I collected underground, and then dried and made into tea. They taste great when used to make tea. Would you like to try them?"

Ying looked at the water in the bowl, then looked at Jinwu, and felt that all this happened very suddenly.

Jinwu noticed Ying's gaze and immediately explained:

"Oh, you're worried about the tea, right? Don't worry, I'm an expert in this area. The fodder is not poisonous, and the water comes from the underground rivers in the Stratochasm. I tested it with an instrument and it's edible! The bowls are the ones we brought with us when we went to the fields! Don't worry, drink it, it's fine!"

Ying felt that Jinwu was worrying too much. She had never thought about it that way at all. But seeing the other person's enthusiasm, it was hard to refuse, so she picked up the bowl and drank.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Ying tasted it and found that it had a sweet taste.

"Ha! It's delicious! Sister Jinwu! Another bowl please!"

After Zhiqiong finished drinking, she asked Jinwu for another bowl.

Jinwu also smiled and poured her a bowl, then added some to Ying's empty bowl.

"Drink up! I've boiled a large pot of water. We usually drink this water!"

Ying was puzzled as to why there were people here and why they were camping here, so she asked:

"Sister Jinwu, why are you still here? Have you not been out for a long time?"

After hearing this, Jinwu frowned and said:

"Yes, we haven't been out for a long time. We came here because some strange black mud suddenly appeared in the Stratum Abyss, causing all the miners in the Stratum Abyss to stop working. So the higher-ups called in a Stratum Exploration Team to investigate the situation. Now the situation is not optimistic!"

"Why?"

"We suddenly lost contact with the people above, as if the communication was cut off. Then poisonous gas appeared under the abyss. We also found out that the black mud is poisonous. It is a special chemical substance with strong corrosiveness. Touching it will cause hallucinations, serious loss of control, and even mutations. We can't investigate it either! We just wanted to retreat, but the exit was inexplicably sealed, and then we were trapped here."

As soon as Jinwu finished complaining, he immediately turned to look at Ying:

"You should be able to solve it! I sincerely hope to entrust this mission to you, and we will try our best to assist you! But you seem so young."

"Don't worry! Sister Jinwu, my senior and I will definitely give you the treasure... No, we will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly for you! After all, the more precious something is, the more dangerous it is! Just leave it to us!"

Zhiqiong patted his chest proudly and promised.

But Ying frowned, she felt as if she was involved in something bad.
