Chapter 20 The Company Behind the Scenes, the Day of the Falling Star

Stay with me late.

At dusk.

The farm villa stood quietly in place.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it shines with golden luster.

This farm has been abandoned for a while, so weeds have grown very high.

And as the earth continues to fall into darkness.

It was pitch black all around.

Ordinary people walking among them would find it difficult to detect movement just a few meters away.

"The young man in the villa is a bit unusual. He almost noticed our presence."

"You think too much. No matter how powerful you are, you are still just an ordinary person."

"That's right. Didn't you see that he has been silent these past few days?"

at this time.

In this barren weed.

The three figures crouched down and walked slowly, very carefully, as if they were afraid of being discovered.

They were dressed in black attire and all held composite crossbows. In the quivers on their backs were sharp swords made of alloy, shining with a cold light.

The compound crossbow is extremely powerful and can be fired continuously. If it goes into the mountains to hunt, it will kill wild boars, bears, and blind people. Its power is even higher than ordinary small thermal weapons. It is expressly prohibited, but it is held in the hands of three people.

"According to my opinion, we don't need to be so cautious at all. So what if we are discovered, we can just shoot the person."

One of them spoke. He was a short man, but his tone was fierce, and he didn't take human life seriously.

"What nonsense?"

The leader frowned: "The timing is too sensitive now. The superiors told us not to cause trouble, otherwise it will not end well.

Although their backgrounds are profound, they still have to be wary, especially since this is not a deep forest.

When you kill someone, you always leave some clues.

Not as a last resort.

Don't mess around.

"I'm just talking." The man lowered his head and said no more.

But his eyes were still full of ferocity, like a poisonous snake.

The leading man did not bother. He raised his wrist and looked at the time: "According to the company's prediction, the meteor should fall around eight o'clock. When the time comes, you two remember, don't hesitate, take action and take the things away directly. Mission Even if it’s done.”

"Understood."

Several people responded and said curiously:

"Team Zhao, it is said that many meteorites landed in different locations today. We are just one of the teams on this mission."

"good."

Team Zhao nodded: "There should be more than a hundred teams, but some meteorites will disappear directly when they enter the atmosphere due to friction. I don't know if we have the luck to wait for the meteorites to land on the earth. If we are lucky, we will not have to do it in this life." Sad.”

This person obviously knows more and understands that the company takes this mission very seriously.

Otherwise, so many resources would not be used.

"More than a hundred teams?"

Someone spoke and couldn't help but exclaim: "Who is the boss of our company?"

He knew that the equipment on his team alone, not to mention the personnel, cost millions.

More than a hundred identical teams, wouldn’t it cost hundreds of millions in total?

"Don't ask around if you shouldn't ask, otherwise you won't know why you died." Captain Zhao scolded, obviously he was very taboo about this and didn't want to talk too much about it.

Because to put it bluntly, my group of people are just thugs trained by the company at best. In ancient times, they were equivalent to servants. If a servant inquires about his master, isn't that looking for death?

"Yes, yes, I won't ask anymore."

When the man heard this, he knew that he had violated a taboo and did not dare to say anything.

As for the others, they also shrank their heads, then concentrated their minds and stared ahead.

Of course, I haven't forgotten to pay attention to the movement of the villa not far away. If there is a problem, I will take action immediately.

at the same time.

In the villa.

Lu Yuan had already turned off the lights and was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.

"This is the last day. If the target is a meteorite, someone hiding in the dark will definitely take action tonight." He murmured to himself as he looked at the sky that had completely darkened.

At this moment, Lu Yuan has determined that there must be someone on the farm, and the target is not him.

The reason is simple. If so, these people would have chosen to take action long ago.

I won't wait forever.

Therefore, the only explanation is the meteorite.

He knew that some forces had access to the sky and used modern technology to observe the conditions of the starry sky.

It is not difficult to discover and calculate the location of the meteorite landing.

The problem now is.

Does that mysterious force know about the Tianwai Sword Embryo?

And if you are an ordinary person, why can't you find it with your current ability?

Just thinking about it.

Time passes bit by bit.

soon.

Eight o'clock at night.

In the sky, the moonlight was bright and the stars were shining, as calm as ever.

But I don’t know how long it took, and the night began to get brighter.

Bundles of fire suddenly appeared, piercing the night sky, accompanied by a huge roar, like a fighter plane passing by, deafening.

Looking up, there were actually tens of thousands of shooting stars, densely packed like raindrops.

Some ordinary people who don't know the situation.

I quickly picked up my phone and took a photo to record this moment.

This scene is somewhat beautiful, but at the same time a little terrifying.

Because most meteors will disappear completely due to atmospheric friction after entering the atmosphere.

But at this moment, some of them actually broke through the atmosphere and entered the stratosphere.

Among them was a meteor that actually fell straight down.

Although small.

But it was very fast. If it fell to the ground, the impact force it created would be as powerful as a small bomb.

"Here we go."

At this time, the three mysterious people hiding in the grass on the farm spoke at the same time.

But they didn't move, obviously knowing that if they got too close, they would be threatened.

Boom!

Finally.

Accompanied by a violent roar.

The meteorite fell to the ground, bursting out a fire with a radius of more than tens of meters, causing the surrounding weeds to burn.

"It's less than one kilometer away from us, let's go." Seeing this, the leader immediately gave an order.

Their task was very simple, which was to recover the meteorite as soon as possible.

So after hearing the order.

There was no hesitation at all, and they rushed out directly, at a very fast speed, surpassing ordinary people.

And the three people's movements were bright, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the fire, and they rushed in directly.

It turned out that the clothes they wore had the peculiar effect of preventing fire and cooling.

Soon.

The three-person team arrived at their destination.

Because the meteor fell, a crater with a diameter of several meters appeared in front of them.

In the center of the crater, there is a steaming stone surrounded by magma. The stone is not big, only the size of a football, and the surface is bumpy. But if you look closely, you can find a ray of golden light flashing inside.

"We are so lucky. We actually guarded a real meteorite. There will definitely be a big reward if we take it back to the company."

Captain Zhao was excited when he saw this scene. He didn't have high expectations.

But now it's different.

It is said that there are 100 teams, but how many can really guard the meteorite?

So this time, the three of them are definitely rich.

The company will vigorously cultivate them in the future.

The other two were also very happy and immediately prepared to go down and take the meteorite away.

But at this moment, a young voice suddenly sounded.

"Everyone."

"You want to take things from me without saying hello. You are very rude."
