Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing?

Xu Shirong led a squad of dozens of people, which can be called an elite expedition from Base A.

Before each expedition, the team members will gather in the preparation room, check the important medicine and armor, and then drive off.

As soon as Xu Du walked into the preparation room, he quickly attracted the attention of members of the room.

However, what they convey in their eyes is not a friendly attitude.

"Here?" Xu Shirong smiled gently at him. He seemed to be the only person with a good attitude.

Xu Du nodded and heard Xu Shirong continue to say: "After you set off, you must remember to follow me firmly, so that I can protect you all the way..."

"Captain, why do we have to protect this hairy boy?" A team member on the side couldn't help but interject, with a bad tone, "How dangerous outside is, one will have to die if one is careless, but we are performing the task upright, when? Become playing with the children?!"

"Zhang Yan, stop talking."

Xu Shirong frowned slightly and stopped him: "Mr. Xu Du arranged to come in. We must obey the instructions."

"Cut." The team member named Zhang Yan shook his hand angrily, put his suitcase on his back, and left the gate of the preparation room first.

The rest of the other team members also quietly talked about it. Although Xu Du didn't know the specific content of their conversation, it was basically dissatisfaction and disgust towards him.

Most of these expeditions are grassroots, relying on the completion of highly dangerous tasks, step by step to where they are today. The talented Xu Shirong also revealed that he came in through He Yimin's back door. It is normal for the players to feel dissatisfied with the addition of such a small oil bottle.

"Zhang Yan is usually anxious, don't mind." Xu Shirong turned his head and said to Xu Du.

"It's okay." Xu Du shook his head. His purpose was Xu Shirong. He really didn't care much about other people and things.

The expedition's car set off quickly, and Xu Du and Xu Shirong were sitting in the same off-road vehicle.

The place they arrived was a desert outside Base A, where mutated cacti grew everywhere, huge green plants all around, covered with terrifying barbs, like sharp knives.

Avoiding zombies here is a very dangerous thing. If you don't pay attention, you may bump into this kind of plant in the process of fleeing, and be nailed in place by barbs.

Xu Shirong got out of the car and wanted to lock Xu Du in the car, but he jumped off first.

"Xu Du, you'd better stay in the car, it will be much safer for you." Xu Shirong said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, Xu Du still caught a moment of impatience in his eyes, but because of He Yimin, Xu Shirong still kept his polite face.

"Don't worry, I won't drag you down." Xu Du said, "Can you give me a weapon?"

Xu Shirong was slightly stunned, but did not continue to stop him.

"The players' weapons were allocated long ago, and now there is only one left."

Xu Du took the gun and walked forward without saying anything.

Xu Shirong watched his back go away, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

This child seemed to be highly regarded by He Yimin. Even after he and He Yuya became He Yimin's son-in-law, he had never received such a courtesy.

He was instructed to protect Xu Du’s safety, but if the child was disobedient and insisted on going his own way, he would be considered dead in this desert. No wonder he, anyway, the surrounding team members saw him discouraging Xu Du, and he has done it. Here comes the responsibility.

Xu Du always gave Xu Shirong a very strange feeling, and made him feel uneasy inexplicably. If he could disappear, it would be a good thing.

Xu Du walked forward, and Xu Shirong soon followed, with a few team members behind him.

They walked carefully among the cactus bushes, the sharp cactus thorns glowed with a strange dark green, and the possibility of poison was high.

Half a month ago, another team from Base A had also been here. So far, there has been no news. I am afraid it has disappeared here.

Therefore, this time everyone was struggling and paying close attention to the surrounding conditions. It was a pity that apart from the alien plants, there was no movement of creatures.

It's like the tranquility before the storm.

"Do you think these cacti are moving?" Xu Du suddenly said in silence.

"...Is there?" A female team member looked around hesitantly. Her name was Lu Tingting, a rare young woman in the elite team.

Zhang Yan snorted disapprovingly: "You believe what a kid says? The ghost knows if he is blogging...a kid, there are many tricks."

Xu Du did not argue, but took out a few small spray bottles from his bag and handed them to the people around him: "Spray the medicine on the body, it can have a certain repelling effect on the alien creatures... It's just a medicine that has just been developed. The nature is very unstable. Don’t use it until the critical moment—"

"..." The team members looked at each other. In the end, only a few people took Xu Du's medicine, and most of them looked suspicious.

"I don't want it. What is the effect of a child's preparation?" Zhang Yan sneered, "I advise you to be careful. The mismatched chemical reagents may be poisonous."

Xu Du finally looked at Zhang Yan.

"You're dying, you know?" There was no emotion in his voice. "Don't forget it, good luck."

Although his purpose for joining the elite team is not pure, but after all, he has no grievances with other players, and he does not want them to fall into the end of being eaten by alien creatures.

But Xu Du wouldn't force such a hostile guy like Zhang Yan. In fact, the raw materials of this medicine are very precious, and it was only possible to make it after arriving in the laboratory of Base A.

Zhang Yan only felt that the child in front of him was indifferent and arrogant, as if he did not put him in his eyes at all, and the blood surged up his head: "Are you taunting me?! It's just that you have walked through the back door of the leader. Why do you put such an invincible look in front of me—"

He seemed to have lost his mind a little, and wanted to beat others.

"Zhang Yan! Don't be like this!" Xu Shirong hurriedly stopped, "He was sent by Mr. He, you can't—"

"No? Those of us who were born and died for the base, in the end, still can't compare to this kind of noble creature!?" Zhang Yan roared.

Xu Shirong wanted to say something more, but Xu Du interrupted him.

"Is the action of the elite team fighting in such a dangerous place?" Xu Du said coldly, then looked at Xu Shirong, "Mr. Xu, since you are the captain, please don't mention it over and over again. And my matter, obviously this will cause dissatisfaction among other team members...I don't know what your intention is, but in the current environment, it is not a wise choice to stir up conflicts within the team."

Xu Shirong's face changed: "I...not intentionally."

The expressions of others looking at Xu Shirong are also subtle. Xu Shirong hurriedly waved his hands: "Don’t get me wrong, I just want Zhang Yan to calm down... But Xu Du makes sense. At this time, we should really be united. Get up and talk about other things later, okay?"

He looked at Zhang Yan, who still had some respect for Xu Shirong, so he nodded impatiently and stamped his feet on the ground.

However, with his stomping, the ground suddenly trembled.

The sand under the feet became uneven, and the place where the crowd was stepping sank without warning, especially where Xu Du and Zhang Yan were where they sank the fastest.

A deep pit appeared under the two of them, and they fell straight down without waiting for anyone to react.

"Zhang Yan, Xu Du——!"

The others reacted fairly quickly and climbed to a safe place. Xu Shirong looked very anxious and shouted the names of the two at the pit.

The pit was dark and bottomless, but soon there was a voice.

There was a screaming scream, which sounded like Zhang Yan's voice. Although it was far away, he could still hear the unforgettable fear and pain in the voice, as if he was undergoing some torture.

Soon, the voice gradually subsided, and finally, the deathly silence was restored.

Xu Shirong sat down on the ground sullenly and lowered his head: "Another...We have lost another teammate."

The players are sad. Although they don't have a good impression of Xu Du, Zhang Yan is their long-time teammate.

"Captain, it's not your fault... or cheer up quickly." Lu Tingting wiped the tears from her face, "We should leave this place quickly to ensure the safety of the rest."

Xu Shirong did not speak, and was silent for a while, before finally nodding, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"Okay... the rest, there can be nothing more to do."

"Let's go back first, discuss countermeasures, and then make plans."

He stood up slowly.

No one noticed, however, the hurried smile he flashed when he lowered his head.

Zhang Yan is a well-known thorn in the team.

It's really good luck to solve two annoying guys in one pit. ,
