The war is over.
Afterwards, it’s ti for the aftermath work.
Treat the wounded, collect the bodies of those who died tragically, and tally the casualties.
And after the statistics ca out,
everyone fell silent.
The surrounding counties and towns of Qingzhou City are countless, with a total number of no less than several million.
Just the population in the city is no less than a million...
But now, only over 300,000 have escaped with their lives.
The death and injury rate is as high as 70%.
Although, in the face of the attack of such cosmic-level weapons as warships, having 30% survive is already a result of Yue Jinyan and others’ proper response, tily cutting loss to survive, otherwise, the first round of covered strike could have wiped out over 90% of Qingzhou City’s creatures.
But no one would feel proud of this matter now.
Everyone’s faces were heavy...
From a strategic standpoint, this was a great victory, sacrificing rely a city’s serious injury in exchange for the eradication of all the internal traitors.
This ti the Chi Yu mysterious clan almost deployed their entire army and all were wiped out here, a malignant tumor hidden for decades was thus removed.
No one knows how much damage they would have caused to the Empire if they continued hiding within its interior...
But no one would feel proud or excited about this victory.
The cost was really too great.
And with the opening of the No. 0 Shelter’s door, those civilians who survived the calamity ca out of the shelter... Seeing the bright sun in the sky again, though only a few hours spent in the shelter, to them, it seed like they lived a whole life in those short hours.
The won began to voluntarily help treat the wounded, while the n helped to clean up the bodies.
Children were taken care of by the elderly.
Seeing Xu Lingjun, Guo Zheng was so excited that he almost cried, hugging him and bawling his eyes out, never having experienced such a life-and-death ordeal, this wealthy second generation had never seen this kind of hardship before.
Originally thought his best friend was already dead, he was already prepared to collect Xu Lingjun’s body...
The greatest happiness perhaps is that after a disaster, the family and friends you care about are still alive, at this mont, money and power no longer matter.
Xu Lingjun laughed lightly and comforted him with a few words.
Guo Zheng was very self-aware. Seeing Xu Lingjun covered in blood, he knew that he must have participated in this war... There was a bit of envy in his eyes, but more so was determination.
After chatting with Xu Lingjun for a few words, he turned and went to help the other surviving students from Qingyang High School deal with the bodies of the mysterious races of the heavens.
Having gone through this disaster, he could clearly feel what he truly desired.
"Dad, is it still not too late if I start working hard now?"
Together with his father, carrying a body of the Chi Yu mysterious clan, putting it on a vehicle... These bodies are extrely precious materials, and in the future, they may beco the best weapon against the Chi Yu clan.
As Guo Zheng worked, he asked his father.
"Silly child, whenever you decide to work hard, it’s never too late. Do you think all your dad’s efforts in these years were in vain?"
Guo Xu’s face was full of affection, "Dad has been waiting for you to say this for seventeen years, you’re my only son, everything at ho is yours. As long as you wish, tell , which Martial Mansion do you want to attend..."
Understanding his son’s thoughts, after all these years as father and son.
He was stimulated.
His best friend had already joined the Sect, with a promising future.
The other one could already fight against the mysterious races of the heavens, while he was still muddled. If it continued like this, he would soon be left far behind, unable to keep up with their pace.
The trio of rich and handso guys, with Li Lei responsible for high cultivation, him responsible for a wealthy family, and Old Xu responsible for being handso.
He didn’t want to fall behind.
Upon hearing his father’s words, Guo Zheng’s eyes lit up, smiling he said: "Old Xu’s dream is to join the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, I want to go to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion too, is that okay?"
Guo Xu suddenly coughed violently, muttering, "Son, oof, Dad seems to have strained his back, co... you carry the body, Dad’s going over there to rest."
He tossed the body to his son and slipped away as if fleeing.
Guo Zheng: "...................."
Xu Lingjun did not help clean up the bodies, after a fierce battle, especially against those Chi Yu mysterious clan, his absolute strength was insufficient, he could only desperately use Qiantian Gang Qi, burning Qi Blood to kill strong enemies... after burning for consecutive one or two hours...
He already felt the fatigue from inside out.
Wang Qingya too, her marksmanship was precise, the number of Chi Yu mysterious clan she killed might be much more than Xu Lingjun, but the recoil of her light sniper was not sothing she could bear... rubbing her shoulder with a look of pain, walking with a limp.
Seeing Wang Qingya’s exhausted and painful look, Xu Lingjun supported her to walk back, but only after a few steps, he rembered that their ho had been bombed out.
He was montarily at a loss, not knowing where to go...
"Actually, it’s not without good news."
Seeing Xu Lingjun’s bewildernt, Wang Qingya joked, "Didn’t you always worry about how to renovate your house? Now, you completely don’t have to worry about it."
"Yeah, the house is completely gone."
Xu Lingjun pursed his lips, complaining, "Sister Yaya, that joke is really cold."
He thought for a mont, leading Wang Qingya to one of the dical vehicles.
Planning to apply so dicine on Wang Qingya’s shoulder on the vehicle, after all, she’s a girl, it’s inconvenient for her to take off her clothes in public... must find a private space with only the two of them.
And with the corner of his eye, he caught sight.
He could clearly see a line of small text.
[Origin Value: 7483!]
Besides acquiring a cha and a capsule, he was able to additionally obtain so much Origin Value.
Although those scattered Origin Values were all very little, when accumulated bit by bit, it was a considerable number.
From this point of view, perhaps he, Xu Lingjun, was the only big winner in this war... although this victory, he didn’t want at all.
And at this ti, the Canglong Seven Armies finally arrived late.
Along with that, overhead clouds gathered... several temporarily ard warships slowly floated down from the sky.
They were late.
The Canglong Seven Armies had already received news halfway that the enemy had a warship, and under the ravaging of a warship, how long could an ordinary city hold on?
Commander Zhang Zhengze of the Canglong Seven Armies had already prepared himself, having expected to see a scene of devastation and corpses strewn everywhere upon arrival... he had even decided in his heart, not to leave a single one alive, determined to skin and draw the tendons of every last one of these Chi Yu mysterious clan, then throw their bodies onto the battlefield of the Chi Yu clan.
To let them see the cost of daring to be audacious to the Great Xia Empire!
Only by doing so, could he slightly ease the guilt in his heart...
But who would have thought upon reaching here, what’s seen was the wrapping up of the battlefield, and that massive heap of warship wreckage, as much as he wanted to look away, it was truly hard to miss, though, the death and injury were indeed as terrible as he thought.
But...
Won... won?
Zhang Zhengze felt he really deserved to be shot ten tis... Isn’t winning good?
How could he think that Qingzhou City shouldn’t win?
Hurriedly ordered his subordinates to help treat the wounded and see if there are still any survivors under the rubble...
Seeing Yue Jinyan and others approaching him, Zhang Zhengze walked forward full of sha, grasping Yue Jinyan’s hand, and before he could speak, he couldn’t help choking up, eyes reddened, gritting his teeth, "I’m sorry, Brother Yue, I... we ca late."
"No, we only could achieve victory thanks to you all."
Yue Jinyan’s expression was fervent, looking at Zhang Zhengze with eyes full of gratitude.
No matter the casualties, a win is a win.
The casualties were indeed large, but with rely the area of a city, they wiped out the enemy’s warship... it’s tantamount to primitive people with stone axes annihilating a regular army, this achievent has already reached an absurd level.
"This..."
Zhang Zhengze was suddenly speechless, he almost thought Yue Jinyan was speaking sarcastically.
However, looking at Yue Jinyan’s exuberant look, he hesitated, "When you said we owe the victory to us, do you refer to the spiritual... encouragent we provided?"
Indeed, a spiritual pillar can cause people to burst out extrely strong power.
Maybe these Ard Police officers exploded with infinite power knowing that the Canglong Seven Armies were about to arrive, and shot the warship down with their standard-issue pistols?
