Meeting the Mysterious Woman Again

He was sleepless. Zhang Jue, relying on his ability to stay up all night, finished reading all the GOC's information on that giant dragon, analyzed, and organized a plan. He had guessed that source of that dragon's power must come from the heart.

The following day, under the leadership of Davis, Zhang Jue, and Hael. The others headed for the GOC's camp in the Alps. At 7:30 AM, the foot of the Alps was already surrounded by a large group of people. Most of them were media reporters, but some travelers had come here to see the view. It looked like it was only a matter of time before they were exposed if they didn't get rid of that dragon quickly.

After learning about the information last night, Harvey had already reported the whole thing to the Foundation's headquarters, and the nearest Mobile Task Force team was already heading their position. But they were running out of time, and Zhang Jue decided to go to the mountain first to see what was going on. At the same time, Harvey stayed behind to wait and meet up with the Mobile Task Force that was on their way.

A few people hiking with their equipment on their backs take the regular tourist route. There were also travelers and citizen journalists around rallying with their cameras, keeping their eye out to the sky and the mountains, expecting to see the dragon.

When the temperature gradually shrinks, the people around the area gradually move out and evacuate themselves. After all, everyone was here to make money while relaxing; there is no need to be so desperate about it.

Zhang Jue and the others set out in the morning, and by the time, it was afternoon. They had arrived at an altitude of more than two thousand meters. The temperature had fallen a little lower. Several people took out the clothes they had prepared and put them on, warming them in the process.

"Let's take a break." Zhang Jue looked around, found a relatively flat rock, and stood on it to look out into the distance. "It's close to the snow line further up, so we need to resupply and energy up."

The weather was cloudy and dreary, making their climb a little more difficult. The number of travelers around them gradually decreased, and most of those who made it this far were rock-climbing enthusiasts, and those journalists carrying cameras had long since disappeared.

"Advisor Zhang, you seem to be very familiar with this place" Hael said.

Zhang Jue nodded. As a Chinese person who lived two different lives, he was not as familiar with the Alps as he was with the Alpine Lollipop candy. He spent all night long memorizing all the known information regarding the Alps and the Dragon. He doesn't know if it was because this world had SCP, but the Alps here were already far from what he knew, and the geological landscape had changed significantly.

Several people who finished their meal picked up their climbing picks, ropes, and other equipment—moving forward to their destination. They went all the way deep into the Alps, not knowing how far they had gone.

Along the way, Davis kept adjusting the direction of the north compass to make sure the group did not go off track. When it was evening, the group pulled out their tents and sat inside to organize their equipment.

Davis opened the map with his finger on the top of the marked location, "This is where the dragon is often spotted. Our camp is located about two thousand meters from it. Around that area, not far away from here. At our current pace, we should be able to arrive at noon tomorrow, hopefully in time before things erupt."

The Alps can be windy at night, which is not suitable for hiking. So, Zhang Jue and the others had to camp in their tents. During the day, they just ate some dried meat haphazardly to catch up with the schedule. A small fireplace was created to cook some canned food to eat.

To survive in the wild, do not try not to use a campfire to roast meat or cook canned food. It is easy to attract wild animals, but since they are already deep in the Alps. There aren't any wild animals that would ambush them.

Zhang Jue raised his suspicion when footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. Both the SCP Foundation and the GOC had elite field agents. Even though their footstep barely made any noise, it couldn't be hidden from anyone's ears. Especially from Zhang Jue. He was trained to listen to the sound of footsteps when playing games at midnight.

A few people looked at each other and continued to laugh while their hands all touched their backpacks. Judging from the sound of footsteps, the one outside was not a wild animal but a person.

If a wild animal appears in the middle of the night in this mountain, it'll be a piece of cake to handle the situation. But if it's a person, it will be a little bit troublesome.

The sound of talking and laughing continued, and the footsteps came closer to them little by little. Five meters. Four meters. Three meters...

Just when the people outside were only two meters away from the tent, Hael's assistant opened the door tent. Like two fierce tigers, Hael and Davis pounced on the people outside the tent.

Bang! Bang!"

"Ugh!"

"Gah!"

Two seconds later, the miserable screams of both Hael and Davis can be heard. Both Zhang Jue and Hael's assistant froze. What kind of person on the outside could instantly put those two fierce men down. Those two were no ordinary people.

Zhang Jue had seen Hael's combat ability, and even though he had studied the Chinese arts with old man Chen for more than half a year, he couldn't be sure that he'd get away in this situation without using his ability.

Not to mention the fact that Davis was standing on the sidelines. That mysterious person must be powerful and may have some special ability. They did not wait for Hael and Davis to return to their senses.

The person outside had already opened the tent door. It was a pair of slender hands with black lace gloves. Then came a sweet female voice.

"Good evening, little boy."

-----

With anger, Hael and Davis covered their punched and swollen cheeks with their hands and hid in the corner of the tent. Hael's assistant took a bottle of ointment and wiped their bruises.

The woman in black had taken off her gloves and was waiting in front of the campfire.

Seeing Zhang Jue's strange expression, she smiled flirtatiously, "What is it, little boy? Aren't you glad to see me again?"

The woman's power is extraordinary, and she even stalked all the way to follow Zhang Jue. She had a purpose for doing so and didn't know which side she belonged to now.

Seeing that she did not see any foreigners, Zhang Jue stretched his hand, "Lady, could you tell me who are you and what's your name? Otherwise, if you come to my house in the future, should I introduce you to my colleagues as my second uncle's niece-in-law?"

It took the woman in black a while to understand what Zhang Jue had meant. Instead of caring about Zhang Jue's verbal flirtation, she stretched out her index finger and pointed it at Zhang Jue.

"What is it, little boy? Do you want to take advantage of me? Please do. I'll be gentle." Her voice was sweet, and her expression was flirtatious, like a hideous snake luring their prey.

Hael, his assistant, and Davis were so attracted by her appearance that their mouths watered.

What a pervert.

Zhang Jue didn't affected by her at all if not for his upright bravery in not letting himself be attached to women. Things may have gotten into a bad situation. But then again, with the strength that this woman had just shown. It would not be difficult to destroy them in the deep mountains, even if they were just a few old men.

Of course, even if he couldn't beat her, Zhang Jue still could defend himself. For Zhang Jue, being teased by a woman was something that he had never experienced before.

When he was about to fight back, he heard a loud rumble followed by the ground shaking.

An earthquake? Zhang Jue was about to tell everyone to run out of their tent.

Davis suddenly remembered something and called out, "Quick! Look above! That flying dragon must have appeared!"
