Chapter 287: Ruth? I'm hitting Ruth!
In a demon stronghold somewhere, a charming woman was drinking gloomily while being served by several shriveled men.
The woman drunkenly murmured: "My sweetheart"
"Why did you disappear?"
As she said this, she began to sob bitterly.
However, seeing this, the shriveled men beside her lowered their heads and stood still, and no one intended to come forward to comfort her.
After a while, the seductive woman gnashed her teeth and said, "It's all Greg's fault. He clearly said from the beginning that he would leave the little sweetheart to me."
“That’s how it ended up.”
Just as she was filled with indignation, an inhuman figure quickly walked into her tent: "Lord Ruth, the matter you ordered has been resolved."
"There are eyewitness reports coming in from the front lines."
Hearing this, Ruth's drunkenness instantly disappeared, and a hint of surprise appeared between her eyebrows: "Bring it to me and see it."
The inhuman figure respectfully handed the information in his hand to the woman.
As Ruth read the contents of the intelligence step by step, the joy on her face grew more and more.
Until the end, the charming woman blushed as she crumpled the information in her hand into a ball, and then she couldn't help but hum.
After a while, she looked at the inhuman figure in front of her with spring in her eyes, and licked her purple lips with her long blood-red tongue: "You are so beautiful."
"Stay with me today."
However, upon hearing these words, the inhuman figure's legs suddenly went limp.
He raised his head with fear and looked at the woman in front of him.
But before he could say anything, he was sucked in by the woman.
Seeing this scene, the skinny men around couldn't help but look at each other, with a look of relief in their eyes.
Goose-feather-like snow fell from the sky, and the crystal snowflakes landed on the bright red and were instantly dyed the same color.
In the vast sky and earth, several inconspicuous figures were standing on the snow.
One of them, wearing red and blue armor, murmured in disappointment, "Nothing gained again."
At this time, a female figure suddenly appeared beside him: "Let's go first, I'm afraid the demon army will send people to check it out."
As they spoke, several figures disappeared in an instant.
When they appeared again, they had arrived at the entrance of a cave located in an unknown mountain.
After the armored man entered the cave, the female figure first looked around furtively, and then dragged the huge rock next to it to cover the entrance of the cave.
The two people are naturally Russell and Wen Jing.
It has been several days since they left Jizhou Town.
This cave was the hiding place they found after driving away the indigenous people.
Unfortunately, after these few days, the two of them didn't gain anything.
Inside the cave, Russell saw that Wen Jing had covered her tracks, and immediately said with a headache: "The monsters I encountered these days don't have any useful information at all."
But after hearing him say that, Wen Jing didn't take it seriously: "That's normal. The military just wanted our team to try their luck."
Although Russell knew that Wen Jing was telling the truth, the key issue was that he was still carrying out Jinping's mission.
The ideal situation, of course, is to obtain intelligence in this mission, and then he can slightly modify the information and report it to Jinping.
Otherwise, if the Northern Defense Army obtained experimental information from somewhere else, he would have to find a way to find out.
However, he couldn't say these words to Wen Jing, so he could only change the subject and ask, "Sister Wen, you should have sent back the information you obtained in the past few days, right?"
Even though the intelligence obtained in the past few days was not what they needed, it did not mean that it was useless.
It contains some information about the recent deployment of the demon army.
Wen Jing nodded when she heard this: "They have all been sent back."
Then, the cave became quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning wood.
After a long while, Russell's voice sounded again: "Speaking of which, I have always been curious about one thing. Why is the demon army still using manpower to transmit intelligence?"
This was the doubt that had arisen after he arrived at the Northern Defense Army.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is using smart phones, so the demon army can't still rely solely on their two legs.
Moreover, he remembered seeing the demon army possessing relevant high-tech equipment before.
At this time, Wen Jing used a wooden stick to stir the fire in front of her and answered casually: "There are card makers in the army who can intercept their information, so normally they don't rely on instruments to transmit information."
Russell suddenly realized.
There's no way around it, this is the tricky part of the card.
Just like Misaka Mikoto, she can manipulate electronic devices at will, but Russell has not used them much so far.
Who knows what strange cards similar to Misaka Mikoto's are in the Northern Defense Army.
At this moment, two vibration sounds rang out in the cave at the same time.
Russell and Wen Jing took out their cell phones in tacit understanding and started checking new messages.
It is the roadmap for the demon's next move.
After checking the message, Russell said in a deep voice: "This afternoon."
Since they are not particularly far from the Ming border, their mobile phones can still send and receive messages normally.
But if we continue to go deeper into the heart of the demon army, there will be no signal.
"I hope this trip isn't in vain." Wen Jing stretched her stiff muscles and sighed, "But how come the new route was confirmed so quickly?"
Naturally, the movement routes of the demon army passed on to the two by the Northern Defense Army could not be accurate every time.
Russell put out the fire, then stood up and prepared to let Wen Jing drop him onto the target route.
In the thick snow, Russell and Wen Jing were quietly waiting. A moment later, a figure in a white coat rushed past them from a distance.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other.
"Caught a big fish."
They could both see such a meaning flash in each other's eyes.
You should know that in the demon army, there is only one type of person who is dressed like the figure just now, and that is the researcher in the R&D department.
Russell summoned his card without any hesitation.
The next moment, the blonde girl in a blue skirt and armor was already blocking the demon's path.
The demon in the white coat looked embarrassed when he saw that his way was blocked.
However, when he turned around and tried to escape, he found a black and white figure that exuded an aura of keeping strangers away and was looking at him expressionlessly.
In the distance, Wen Jing glanced at Altria silently and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
No matter how many times she looked at it, she felt that the new card made by Xiao Luo was a little too outrageous.
It's not the strength that's surprising.
Well, actually, her strength also shocked her.
More importantly, Wen Jing could feel that every time the blonde girl appeared, her strength would be greatly improved.
Both her and her cards.
"It was born for group combat"
Wen Jing couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Although she didn't know the upper limit of the number of people the amplification could affect, based on her past experience, it should fluctuate with strength.
The stronger the person acting on them, the fewer their number, and vice versa.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Xiao Wu was already dragging the demon that looked like a dead dog towards them.
Seeing this, Russell couldn't help but frowned slightly: "So weak."
In his perception, the demon intercepted this time was at most gold level.
But after thinking about the R&D department and paying special attention to its strength, Russell didn't think much about it.
Soon, Xiao Wu and Altria returned to his side.
"Lord Russell."
Xiao Wu said respectfully as he grabbed the demon's hair and showed its face to Russell.
However, when Russell saw the demon's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but look a little strange.
He recognized the other person's identity.
Cliff is a first-level researcher in the R&D department of the Demon Army. He is also the demon who cooperates with Li Shuo in the demonization plan in Donglai.
Russell didn't expect that they would meet again under such circumstances.
You have to know that the last time he was in Donglai and had dealt with Li Shuo, Cliff had already disappeared.
At this time, Cliff barely opened his swollen eyes, and a miserable smile appeared on his bloodstained face: "Super high-risk target [Gun Devil], report to the nearest base once found"
"Russell, it's you."
But when Russell heard the so-called "Gun Demon", his eyes twitched. Cliff's words made him think for a moment that he had traveled to the set of "Chainsaw Man".
But he soon figured out that this was the code name the demon army had given to Xiao Wuxin.
Without paying attention to Cliff's words, Russell turned around and whispered to Wen Jing: "Sister Wen, it is indeed a big fish. He knows the details of the experiment."
Hearing this, Wen Jing nodded.
However, just as she was about to knock Cliff out and leave, he suddenly shouted, "Lu!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the demon's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
At the same time, a heavy sniffing sound suddenly sounded behind Russell: "Finally."
"caught you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Russell's face changed.
The next moment, the dark spiritual pressure that was so dense that it could not be dissolved instantly blew away the snow around it.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded in Russell's ears, and the huge impact force threw him far away.
After rolling several times on the snow, he quickly got up and observed the situation on the field.
What appeared in his eyes at this moment was Altria with a solemn face and Xiao Wu who was recovering his left arm and was already in the second stage of returning to the blade.
In the distance was his old acquaintance Ruth.
Ruth showed a curious look on her face at this time, but her eyes glanced at Russell's two cards without emotion: "Ah~ Sweetheart has become stronger again."
"You're so delicious right now that I want to swallow you whole~"
As she spoke, the seductive woman threw a wink at Russell.
Ignoring Ruth who had a fever, Russell calmly asked Wen Jing, "Sister Wen, can we go?"
Hearing this, Wen Jing gritted her teeth and tried to activate her ability, then shook her head slightly: "No, it's restricted."
As if she saw what Russell and the others were going to do, Ruth held her right hand, tapped her cheek with her index finger, and said in distress: "Don't think too much, sweetheart, I won't let you run away this time."
Hearing Ruth's words, Russell took a deep breath.
Until now, there is only.
Fight!
It just so happens that he is no longer the puppet that was manipulated by the other party.
