The atmosphere in the corner behind the supply vehicle was a bit delicate.
Wang Jixuan had already begun to adjust. After the big battle, everyone refrained from reminiscing and mourning, quickly entering the rhythm of preparing for the next battle.
But to talk about love right after a bitterly won battle, that was still a bit...
Not quite right.
Soon, Wang Jixuan lost this concern.
Because Lingtong’s eyes held anger, it was clear she was in a mood to seek accountability.
"That," Wang Jixuan whispered, "I’m seriously injured right now, go easy on ... uh."
Lingtong suddenly took a step forward and with her chanical arm, she hugged Wang Jixuan tightly, holding him with great force.
Wang Jixuan found it difficult to breathe and was a bit dazed.
Her body trembled, as if enduring her emotions then released Wang Jixuan three to five seconds later, stepping back two paces.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing," Lingtong replied softly, her expression returning to normal. "Just making sure we’re both alive. Let’s head back first, it’s more dangerous here and there’s a lot of cleanup work to do."
Lingtong said this and then quickly walked away, turning past the front of the supply vehicle.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand and touched his chest.
That’s it?
He had been startled, thinking he was about to be beaten by Lingtong.
Right now, he tried as much as possible not to use mana, for he couldn’t endure the tornt of Lingtong’s chanical arm.
"Tsk," ca the slightly disdainful voice of Ms. Wan from a nearby window. "Mr. Wang really is thick-headed. If you had hugged her back just now, you might have to think about the model of elf tonight."
Wang Jixuan, smiling, shook his head, pretending not to understand the aning.
In truth, he didn’t understand.
Wang Jixuan strolled over to Mu Dan, checking on the status of his little auxiliary ch.
This ti, he had requested seven loyal auxiliary chs from Lao Fu in one go - not for any other reason but to well train them and set up a Seven Star Sword Formation·chanical Body Light Blade Version.
The formations of their Cultivation World were not just limited to talisman arrays or Array Base Formations.
Level S Spirit Ability Users attacked his ho thrice, and if he didn’t develop a force capable of directly eliminating the Six Elders, he would indeed be too easy to bully.
No more pretending. It was ti to lay out the cards.
Wang Jixuan wandered around nearby for a bit, and soon received a notification to return to the Fortress. He calmly went back to Lingtong’s side, found a sofa chair, and lay down to sleep.
He had run tens of kiloters last night. On the way back, he could get a good sleep.
...
Although it might seem like a case of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted, within one day, the defensive force of Fortress 76 had tripled.
Large numbers of reinforcents were still on their way;
New barracks were being rapidly rebuilt, and a place for an above-ground biological research institute was reserved. Red Snake would soon be transferred from Fortress 82 over here, to work on the fitting of biological armor, striving to form combat capabilities as quickly as possible.
After returning to the Fortress, Wang Jixuan rested for three days, with Wu Man reciting the "Rebirth Mantra" for six hours each day.
Wu Man was looking more and more like a Buddha, and the Demonic Qi in Wang Jixuan was mostly suppressed.
This was the benefit of his cultivation being only at the Peak of Returning to Truth. The Buddhist Scriptures recited by Wu Man could have a significant effect.
If Wang Jixuan had entered the Condensation Realm, facing this kind of situation and relying only on Wu Man’s chanting, it would be difficult to suppress the Demonic Qi within his body.
That was no matter.
If Wang Jixuan’s current plans could be successfully implented, he shouldn’t need to personally fight for a long ti to co.
During these three days, human society was in turmoil. Every piece of news that was sent out shook the major battle zones.
[Huo Rong led over a hundred High-level Spirit Ability Users in a surprise attack on Fortress 76, with total annihilation.]
[Combined Combat Zone D5 launched nuclear bombs at the three major battle zones, which resulted in severe condemnation by the three zones. However, there was no interception action taken, and they later announced that three secret research institutes of the Thirteenth Institute suffered devastating attacks.]
[Nature Faction had a big parade in Spiritual Ability City.]
The nine major battle zones issued statents with varying tones, so condemning harshly, so calling for restraint from both sides, and so emphasizing maintaining a united front against the Blade Beasts.
Subsequently, Combat Zone D5 issued a brief speech to all of humanity.
In the speech, the Zone’s spokesperson pointed out that the six elders’ rebellion in Spiritual Ability City fifty years ago had dealt a heavy blow to human civilization. However, not repenting, the Six Elders ford the Spirit Managent Committee, and gradually infiltrated; the six major military powers that used to have control over the nuclear detonation buttons, are now left with D5 Zone alone to support.
D5 retains the right to detonate nuclear warheads to settle scores with the Six Elders at any ti.
The representative further stated that the original victory over the Spiritual Ability City was a joint force of the six major battle zones. Now humanity is edging on an existential crisis, threatened not only by the Blade Beasts but also by the upheaval of Spiritual Energy.
D5 hopes that the old battle zones that once bravely fought against the elders of Spiritual Energy City will swiftly conduct a self-examination, perform drastic redies, rejuvenate their fighting spirit, and that the future of humanity must be in their own hands... and so forth.
Now, each of the major battle zones seed to be beyond salvation.
From the feedback Wang Jixuan had recently received, D4, D6, D8, and D9 had used the Brain-eating Worm incident to purge most of the powers of Spiritual Ability City within them.
There were also attempts in D3, but later the officer who tried to purge the forces of Spiritual Ability City beca the one to be purged instead.
The open and secret struggles were extrely fierce and exceptionally bloody.
A saying by Zhou Zhengde also struck a chord with Wang Jixuan.
"Actually, before all this, the nine major battle zones had tacitly agreed that when one’s grandfather dies, he would take the Six Elders with him, but most of the powerhouses of Spiritual Ability City would survive. The Six Elders were just the representatives of the Dominion Faction. After their death, the Dominion Faction of Spiritual Ability City would not disappear, and Spiritual Ability City would still essentially beco the capital of humanity."
