450: Chapter 430: Group of Stars 450: Chapter 430: Group of Stars “Anyone up for cards?”
“Stop playing gas, co and play ‘Fight the Landlord’ with us, we need one more player.”
“Don’t expect to put down my phone, ow.
There’s no network over there, I’ll die…
Let play a bit more first, ow!”
“Ah, I didn’t bring my charger.
I can’t read the novels on my phone either.
No, I have to seize the ti.
I won’t play cards.”
On the bus, the atmosphere was lively and cheerful, as if they were on a spring outing.
Nowadays, trains are not much faster than buses, and there’s the back-and-forth hassle of going to railway stations.
There were quite a few people in this group, so after so discussions, they decided to hire a minibus and enjoy the journey while sightseeing.
Along the way, so played cards, so played gas, so listened to songs, so sang songs, and it was quite relaxing.
Among the passengers on the small bus were Lu Ping’an, Xia Qin, ow, Xue En, and Lin Feng from the Special Service Team, Miss Lululu, Hua senior sister, Brother Guan, and three new recruits who had woken up too early and were now feeling burned out.
In total, there were eleven people.
With the addition of the four rcenaries in Changping and Miss Rou, there would be sixteen people in total…
The remaining four tickets that Lu Ping’an couldn’t sell in the end, were given to the people from Brother Guan’s side as a favor.
There are young people and middle-aged people in their rescue team who are ambitious and driven.
However, Guan Xinxian had already decided to follow Lu Ping’an in this adventure.
At the ti of boarding, he would just need to give a shout out.
It’s probably not easy to sell all ten tickets of the other explorers’ slots…
To go there, you should have at least three to five reliable helpers, then give a few favors and discounted tickets, which should be enough.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Ping’an had been “politely refused” several tis by Lin Feng to help drive, so he could only helplessly flip through a book or take a nap.
However, looking back at the people in the bus, he felt sowhat moved.
Just half a year ago, he was still in the hospital waiting for death.
Now, in such a short period of ti, he had managed to accumulate a small fortune.
“Yo, you look great.”
When they arrived at the agreed-upon location, the rcenaries had already been waiting there.
Feng Youran, who was leading the team, saw the large and small packages and the festive atmosphere as if on a spring outing, and opened his mouth, as though he wanted to say sothing.
They are too young, too young.
Most of them are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they might struggle even in a slightly more severe battlefield, let alone entering the Doomsday World during the eting Demons.
Isn’t that asking for trouble?
He tried to say sothing, but his wife slapped him on the back of his head…
and he was instantly obedient.
“All right, all right.
We’ll board the ship and set off tomorrow morning, so have a good rest tonight.”
The group checked into an inn for the night and made their final preparations.
By evening, Miss Rou also arrived.
She didn’t co alone, she brought with her more luggage than everyone else combined.
The various instrunts and equipnt filled two cars, and there were also alchemy supplies.
Most of them were brand new, and it seems that she had spent a fortune to prepare for this exploration.
If she doesn’t earn enough from it, she will be bankrupt.
She was not tall, but she was neat and clean with above-average looks and makeup.
She was far from the traditional image of a “female doctor.”
“…
These days, if you don’t dress neatly and cleanly, people won’t even let you in the door.
I don’t care, but other people, those who pay money, do.”
The girl was dressed elegantly, and her delicate face looked like a high school student.
Judging by her appearance, she seed even younger than the rookies in their group.
In reality, they were only two or three years apart.
On their last night together, everyone chatted in high spirits.
They were all young people, full of excitent and ambition for the future.
Many people also noticed that the average age of their team was only about 25.
They didn’t know how high the sky was, yet they were determined to achieve sothing aningful in their lives.
Although this seed like an ominous sign, and to the experienced eye (Feng Youran), it was a classic example of courting disaster.
But at least for now, young people had a lot to talk about, and the team’s atmosphere was good.
In the eyes of pessimists, this was a sign of team destruction and setbacks.
However, to optimists, it ant that the team had a bright future and high potential…
In fact, if it hadn’t been for his wife’s control, Feng Youran would have already run away.
In his eyes, even the female captain of the Special Service Team was too young (23) and naive.
The team-building dinner that night was hosted by Lu Ping’an, and everyone introduced themselves…
They confird that everyone t the minimum required standard, which put the rcenaries slightly at ease.
The team-building event ended at 8 o’clock, and they forcibly turned off the lights to sleep at 10 o’clock.
Everyone had a good night’s rest, except for Lu Ping’an.
He needed to deal with various contracts and clearance procedures and was extrely busy.
In the end, when everyone else was waiting to board the ship energetically, Lu Ping’an was still yawning.
“Why are we still here?
How do we board the ship here?”
The agreed boarding location was the headquarters of the Bureau of Anomaly Managent, that newly built silver-white tower.
The place was already packed with people…
Thousands of people went in, but the building didn’t seem crowded at all.
It was evident that so secret art was used to expand the space inside.
Lu Ping’an’s group followed the flow of people with their tickets and luggage, like queuing for the spring festival travel rush.
Following the signs, they entered the waiting hall…
Even the rest areas were designed to resemble a train station.
Along the way, Lu Ping’an was a bit confused.
He didn’t see any “ship,” and from the discussions of the other people, no one knew how they were going to board.
“How are we going to get there?
Is there an airship or sothing?”
“…
I don’t know, please wait patiently, there is a complete arrangent from above.”
The one who answered was a local staff mber whose confidentiality asures were quite good…
however, it made people wonder, since none of the staff mbers knew, how could they serve the passengers later on?
As Lu Ping’an’s group waited in the spacious hall, they seed surrounded by elite teams.
They attracted many gazes…Not because of anything else, but because getting into the Doomsday World is a difficult task, and Lu Ping’an’s group seed too young to complete it.
It felt a bit out of place.
As ti went by, the noisy atmosphere in the hall gradually quieted down, and everyone was patiently waiting for the originally scheduled boarding ti of ten o’clock.
How would the boarding be?
A floating boat?
A teleportation gate?
Or, a deity would co to take them flying directly…
Lu Ping’an, who had so understanding of the truth about the deities, was full of expectations.
Perhaps, he was one of the few people in the hall who had the most idea about the “Divine Kingdom” and the “Deity”.
But he still underestimated the deities, underestimated the officials, and underestimated this world…
“Boom!”
Suddenly there was a loud noise, the ground shook, and the entire hall trembled violently.
So people couldn’t stand still and fell straight to the ground.
The next mont, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
“We are rising!”
However, inside the hall, soone with a sharp perception sensed that sothing was wrong.
So of them thought there was a change, panicking or taking action quickly…
But the next mont, the scene that appeared on the big screen interrupted everyone’s actions.
The headquarters of the Bureau of Anomaly Managent, that recently built super High Tower, appeared in the center of the big screen.
It was rising straight into the sky, entwined with a huge red dragon.
The dragon was huge, with four claws and golden scales, each scale larger than a car.
At the mont, it was soaring with the tower in tow.
Tens of ters off the ground, the troposphere, the stratosphere…
The higher the dragon went, the more relaxed it seed.
When the cara zood in on its head, it even humanely smiled at the cara.
“Young people, work harder.
Our world needs your efforts.”
A low male voice echoed in every room.
Is this a deity?
Is this a True God who has ascended among predecessors?
In the hall, so people discussed, and so put forward possibilities.
“How could it be?
If it were really a deity, half the people here would go crazy…
It might just be a Divine Envoy.”
“About eighth-tier, pretty average.” ow, however, looked down on it.
But soon, no one paid attention to this point anymore.
That’s because more silver High Towers appeared on more screens.
So of them were flying on their own, so were pulled by beasts, and so seed to be thrown up by so brute force…
Anyway, when these silver High Towers appeared outside the atmosphere, leaving the protection of the planet,
Stars descended, and the gods returned from among those stars…
“…
True Gods, have co.
So many, too many!”
In their view, one shining Divine Kingdom after another appeared, and on a higher plane, giant bodies exuded a strange and terrifying pressure.
What do they look like?
Too bright to observe, and fortunately so.
So kind of existence isolated mortal eyes from staring directly at them, protecting the fragile reason and nerves of mortals.
But the very few, the most powerful people, were trembling and uneasy…
They were like moths too close to the flas, already feeling the blaze burning their bodies.
Lu Ping’an could sense that he…
they, all the people here, were being watched, observed, and greedily desired.
Those deities were definitely not sothing good…
His own life was no longer in his own hands.
He instinctively sensed that even if only one deity showed malice, it could easily co and crush this tower.
Compared with them, even the largest tower was rely a little finger.
Dozens of floating towers were suspended in the sky, and around them, Divine Kingdoms appeared…
They blocked the outer ring of gods and the trajectory of floating towers, isolating them from dangerous sight and hostility.
That must be the Proper Gods.
The satellite belt created by the Divine Kingdoms isolated the gaze of other deities and allowed the explorers in the High Towers to gain so peace of mind.
Among the stars, away from the protection of the planet and the world, they were only weak and fragile “strips of at.”
It was only when they got closer that Lu Ping’an realized their horror—each of them seed to be as large as a planet in his Spirit Vision…
Indeed, probably only Lu Ping’an dared to use his Spirit Vision at this ti.
“Destroying you is just because you got too close…”
It had no malice, but simply by getting close, just being physically close, it could bring death to you.
Finally, when eight Divine Kingdoms descended and approached the atmosphere, and also approached the silver towers floating in the Foreign Domain, the announcent sounded in the waiting hall.
“Please board the spacecraft in an orderly manner.
May you all have a good Martial Destiny…”
