Calamity Siege
On this day, all afternoon classes for the Integration Faction were canceled.
Chen Ling and Sun Bumian sat on the stairs of the Integration Faction. Through the tree hollow, they could see the dim setting sun of the Gray World... Although there were no classes today, the students didn't seem active. As they ca and went, they always looked towards the doors of the hygiene group and the underground laboratory, their expressions sowhat uneasy.
After an unknown amount of ti, the door of the hygiene group finally opened.
"How is the Holy Son??"
"Little Peach, Little Peach, where is the Holy Son?"
"..."
Nurous figures imdiately crowded around. Little Peach's expression was sowhat exhausted, but she still spoke patiently:
"Don't worry, the Holy Son's physique is special. It's nothing major."
The crowd finally let out a sigh of relief.
There was no danger on the Holy Son's side, but the door of the underground laboratory still hadn't opened. The students, one after another, sat down outside the door hugging their books and howork. While waiting apprehensively for the results of Teacher Ye's rescue efforts, they absentmindedly read their books and self-studied...
Chen Ling walked straight towards Little Peach: "What's the situation with Zhao Yi's injuries?"
"Big Brother Chen Ling." Little Peach answered obediently, "Most of the injuries on the Holy Son's body are impact and bite wounds... They should have been caused by Calamities."
"Calamities... Why would Calamities attack Integrators?" Chen Ling frowned deeply.
"I'm not clear either, but the Holy Son should wake up soon. We can ask him then."
"Mm, thanks for your hard work."
Little Peach took off her blood-stained gloves, her eyes full of exhaustion. It could be seen that the treatnt just now wasn't easy for this petite girl either. But what made her even more uneasy was the cause of Zhao Yi's injuries, as well as the gradually heavy atmosphere in the Integration Faction recently, her small face incredibly serious.
"Who would have thought that Teacher Little Peach also knows how to heal. Truly impressive..."
Sun Bumian leaned down slightly, resting his hands on his knees. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at Little Peach, producing a stick of tanghulu as if performing Stagecraft. "Here, a stick of tanghulu for you. Fill your stomach first."
Little Peach blanked out, and the gloom on her face was instantly mostly dispersed by the teasing. She smiled with curving eyebrows:
"Thank you, Big Brother Sun!"
Sun Bumian really liked the children of the Integration Faction, and Little Peach was even the redial teacher for him and Chen Ling... Sun Bumian was like a poor student who never studied. Even when participating in redial classes, he just slept heavily on the side, often angering Little Peach so much she wished she could whip him with a pointer.
Of course, their relationship in private was still quite good.
Just as the few of them were talking,
The door of the underground laboratory slowly opened.
The students waiting at the door imdiately stood up. They were just about to ask sothing, but the next mont, they stood frozen on the spot...
They saw two stretchers covered with white sheets being silently carried out from underground. The students standing on both sides of the aisle stared blankly at the silhouettes of the figures under the white sheets. Even with the keenest hearing, they couldn't hear the sound of their hearts beating.
"They... they..." A younger student spoke with a trembling voice.
The senior mber carrying the stretcher helplessly shook his head:
"Only Old Wolf was resuscitated... The injuries of those two were too severe, even Teacher Ye could do nothing."
The entire aisle fell into dead silence.
It had been a very long ti since anyone in the Integration Faction had died. The two white sheets before their eyes undoubtedly gave the children a strong psychological impact... It should be known that many of them had been brought back by these two senior predecessors when they were out traveling.
A mont later, Teacher Ye's exhausted figure walked out from underground.
"Everyone go back and rest." Teacher Ye's gaze swept across the surroundings. "Where is Zhao Yi, is he awake?"
The crowd was just about to answer when right at this mont, Little Peach's voice ca from the room above:
"He's awake! The Holy Son is awake!"
"Alright, He Chengxuan, Mi Bo, you two co with ..." Teacher Ye walked up the stairs. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Ling and Sun Bumian on the side. After hesitating for a mont, he still spoke up, "You two co together as well."
Chen Ling nodded slightly, following behind Teacher Ye.
...
When the nad individuals walked into the room, Teacher Ye backhandedly closed the door.
At this ti, Zhao Yi was wrapped in bandages all over and lying on the bed. Seeing Teacher Ye arrive, he was just about to get up, but was gently pressed back down by him...
"Even if your injuries are the lightest, you can't move recklessly. Recupurate properly for a while." Teacher Ye said seriously.
Zhao Yi imdiately asked, "How are Old Wolf and the others??"
After a brief silence, it was Mi Bo who slowly spoke up:
"Only Old Wolf was resuscitated..."
He Chengxuan and Mi Bo were both high-rank combat forces of the Integration Faction. Among the people Zhao Yi had taken to the Wuji Domain to save Chen Ling back then, there were these two. Older, powerful, and reliable, they were the role models the young children looked up to.
Hearing this sentence, Zhao Yi was struck by lightning, staring blankly on the bed...
"Zhao Yi, what exactly happened?" Chen Ling asked. "Didn't you go to the Tianshu Domain to purchase supplies?"
The Integration Faction was located deep in the Gray World, and resources were barren. But Teacher Ye didn't want the children to live a hard life, so every month he would send people to sneak into the Human Domains to purchase large amounts of supplies, including ingredients, clothing, accessories, toys, books...
Similarly in the Gray World, those people in the Scarlet Heaven Sect Branch lived like primitives, but the children of the Integration Faction could all eat delicious food, wear pretty clothes, wear cute hairpins, and have all kinds of interesting extracurricular books. They were no different from children living in the domains. This was the result of the joint efforts of Teacher Ye and all the Integrators.
Ever since Zhao Yi joined the Integration Faction, he would participate in almost every supply purchase. On the one hand, it was because he himself wanted to play in the Human Domains. On the other hand, it was because he didn't have long ears, a tail, or other obvious characteristics of Calamity Embodint. As long as he dressed thickly and turned the Curse Runes on his face into tattoos, he could safely move within the domains.
There had never been a mistake in so many supply purchases, but this ti, there were actually casualties.
Zhao Yi remained silent for a long ti, speaking bitterly:
"At first, everything went very smoothly... We crossed the Gray World, successfully sneaked into the Tianshu Domain, and purchased a large batch of supplies. But just as we were preparing to leave, an accident happened..."
"The Sighing Wilderness surrounded the Tianshu Domain."
As soon as this sentence ca out, everyone was stunned.
"The Sighing Wilderness?" Mi Bo frowned deeply. "How is that possible... Although the Sighing Wilderness is located between the Tianshu and South Sea Domain, it's still quite a distance from the Tianshu Domain. How could it suddenly appear at the Tianshu Domain?"
"I don't know... but the Gray World earth surrounding the Tianshu Domain is all covered in white bones under Cessation Calamity's Domain. Countless Calamities are sprinting and roaring outside the domain. They trample the earth, and the aftershocks of the vibrations caused wave after wave of earthquakes within the Tianshu Domain, followed by sharp alarm sirens..."
