"Stay hidden, and don't make a sound!"
All Guardians' Union mbers lay hidden in the wilderness, their bodies covered with camouflage tin foil, not daring to even exhale.
A Li Clan Class B Airship soon flew swiftly overhead. Only after it had flown far away did everyone heave a sigh of relief, stand up, fold the tin foil, and tuck it into their bosoms, waiting for the next use.
Tin foil is also a very good life-saving tool outdoors. If you are trapped in a very cold place, wrapping yourself in tin foil can reflect the thermal radiation emitted by your body, thereby achieving insulation.
This is the ‘last night’ of survival in the wilderness, because this piece of tin foil can help you survive a cold night. It's simple, yet practical.
Everyone stood up and continued to advance.
“I’ve always heard that the Old Master on Ginkgo Mountain is quite ruthless. Now I’ve seen it for myself,” Luo Wanya looked at the list of supplies compiled by Little Seven: “He really didn’t intend for us to eat our fill.”
Among the supplies, there was a complete range of dicines. Not to ntion antibiotics, they even had contraceptives.
But the food was only enough to save a few people’s lives.
Seeing this, Luo Wanya understood that the Old Master intended to push them to the limit, using the 7000-kiloter distance to forge a usable, useful, and pure team.
“Let’s get out of here, let’s all get out alive,” Luo Wanya sighed: “Most of these people lived in cities before. When the Rat Tide ca, they had no choice but to face it. Now they have a choice. Those who want to run, run early. Those who should stay, stay. After walking 7000 kiloters, I’m afraid there will be tough battles to fight.”
At this ti, the satellite phone on Luo Wanya rang.
Qing Chen’s voice ca from the other end: “How’s the situation? Can you hold on?”
“Yes, we’ve been on the road for two days. Although we’re tired, our morale is much better,” Luo Wanya said without hesitation: “Boss, you should take care of others first. Don’t worry about us.”
Although it was bitter and tiring here, he knew there was a ss waiting to be cleaned up back in Central Plains. If he made more requests now, Qing Chen would be overwheld.
So, Luo Wanya chose to report the good news and not the bad.
“Is there any difficulty?” Qing Chen asked.
“There is a little… everyone is a little hungry,” Little Seven said from the side. Luo Wanya glared at him imdiately.
Qing Chen hesitated on the other end of the phone: “Isn’t there enough fish in the river for you to eat?”
“What do you an?” Luo Wanya was stunned. They rarely ca to the wilderness, so they didn’t have much experience.
Qing Chen said: “You’ll know if you drop so blood into the river… Can Guardians’ Union mbers still starve to death on the road? Don’t make things so hard for yourselves. While training is important, you don’t have to add this kind of difficulty.”
Luo Wanya: “?”
Rivers in the wilderness are dangerous, a common consensus, because the fish in the rivers are all extrely aggressive.
But this aggressiveness is now a blessing for the Guardians’ Union.
Luo Wanya took Little Seven and the others to a river and decisively cut open his palm, letting his blood drip into the river water.
The blood of B-Class tahumans has an unparalleled attraction to the creatures in the river.
In just 30 seconds, the river water was like boiling, and all the fish in the river leaped out of the water, as if they were going to eat Luo Wanya on the shore.
“Quick, quick, quick, catch all the fish and let the C-Class and above experts co to catch fish!” Luo Wanya shouted excitedly: “Damn it, there are so many fish in this river, they are all saved for us!”
Because the river is too dangerous, the Federation’s fishing industry has always been weak. The fish breed ferociously and no one eats them.
Now, these fish have beco the best food.
The fish are dangerous, but how can their speed be faster than a C-Class expert?
So people had been hungry for a long ti, and wanted to eat the fish raw when they caught them.
Luo Wanya instructed: “You can’t eat it raw, there are a lot of parasites on river fish.”
“But we can’t make an open fire,” Little Seven said, “we’ll be discovered.”
“If the Boss were here, what would he do… find a cave and smoke the fish,” Luo Wanya said decisively: “Send a few people to tell other teams about the situation in the river, and take advantage of the fact that the Li Clan Airship has just patrolled past. Everyone catch fish and concentrate on smoking the fish!”
The Guardians’ Union suddenly stopped advancing.
Everyone gathered by the river, catching fish like madn.
And the fish in the river scrambled to co up, these weren’t fish, these were clearly blessings for everyone!
By the next day, there was nothing left in the river.
The river, which had been dangerous, was now safe enough to take a bath and wash clothes. It was sumr anyway, and the clothes dried quickly.
The whole forest was full of cleaned fish hanging on the branches, drying in the sun.
Dry them first, then smoke them in batches for 36 hours, and they can be eaten directly.
Three hundred and twenty thousand people crossed the border, and they actually ate up a certain tributary of a river!
Little Seven looked at the dried fish behind him: “Really, I was planning to hone my will, but the Boss’s words broke my resolve.”
Luo Wanya smiled and patted Little Seven: “Don’t say that so soon, 7000 kiloters of mountain roads on foot, it’s not as simple as you think. It doesn’t test the body, but the will. Even B-Class may not be able to withstand it.”
“But so of our predecessors did.”
The Guardians’ Union continued to advance, climbing mountains when they encountered mountains and crossing rivers when they encountered rivers. Wherever they went, nothing remained.
On the mountain road, Little Seven asked: “Hey, that Old Master is so powerful, he must have other tricks up his sleeve, right?”
“I don’t know, he probably does, but I don’t know where they are buried,” Luo Wanya replied: “He must be busy planning everything now.”
At this mont.
City 5, in the Ginkgo Garden.
Li Kerou, wearing a white formal suit, holding an LCD screen, and wearing high heels, walked into the office. There was a Key Gate open here, with a wire connecting from the other side of the Key Gate, all the way to a virtual cradle.
She walked to the side of the virtual cradle and tapped the edge with her finger: “Old Master, the mission in E1333 is complete.”
The Old Master sat up from inside: “Is it completed? Let the progress in E1001 be faster.”
Li Kerou nodded: “Understood. By the way, there is a strategy guide here, which is the clue to pass level 17 of the multiverse, but the person who posted the guide did not pass the level themselves.”
“Good, I’ll have a look,” The Old Master took the LCD screen and looked at it intently…
Li Kerou hesitated for a long ti: “The situation in City 10 isn’t very good. The Guardians’ Union suffered a loss this ti. Don’t we need to do sothing?”
The Old Master replied without raising his head: “No need to do anything. At this ti, with people watching from the side, the Qing Family’s military deploynt cannot be moved. Don’t worry, I’ve done what I should do. The rest is for Qing Chen to do.”
After speaking, the Old Master quickly finished reading the guide and lay back down in the virtual cradle.
……
……
The Shenshen Air Fortress was rapidly heading southwest. It had climbed to a height of several thousand ters, without any bumps.
Qing Chen sat in the command seat, Chen Yu stood, he sat down, showing no concealnt.
Before him were Chen Family officers, who were as docile as quails.
“Everyone worked hard in the last battle. We lost an Air Fortress and more than 100 Airships, and finally retreated safely,” Qing Chen said with a smile.
The commanders felt bitter in their hearts. You didn’t take the fallen Shutian Air Fortress to heart at all. Can this be called a safe retreat? It seems that you don’t care if it is not your own…
They secretly looked at Chen Yu, but found that he was looking out the window without blinking, like a puppet.
Airship painted with the ginkgo leaf logo flew from the southwest. The combat personnel of the Air Fortress opened the entrance and exit passage, and saw that the top deck of the Air Fortress suddenly opened, and the huge alloy sky curtain retracted to both sides, allowing the Airship to land on the internal apron.
The alloy sky curtain closed again, blocking out the sunlight.
Qing Ji, Black Widow, Yi, and Ling walked down from the Airship and, under the guidance of Chen Family soldiers, walked into the fortress to et Qing Chen.
The next mont, Qing Ji opened the Shadow Gate, and saw officers and soldiers of the Qing Family forces walking out one after another, smoothly taking over control of the fortress, as if they had been prepared for it.
Officers and soldiers ca out one after another and familiarly went to their posts.
Qing Chen was stunned: “A fortress’s shipborne soldiers and officers should have at least three thousand people. How could you pull out a team so quickly?”
“They’ve been waiting,” Qing Ji said casually: “They are all rotated from the Scepter, and have been on standby in isolation in City 8 for months. Don’t worry, they are all well-rested, and have all been tested by giant mind sensing.”
A middle-aged officer ca to Qing Chen and smiled: “Boss, my na is Qing Wan. I was the one who was in charge of guiding the Shenming Scepter’s space-based weapons.”
“Oh, it was you who bombarded Prison 18…” Qing Chen suddenly dismissed the others, lowered his voice: “Wait, when did you start on standby in City 8?”
“In the second week after the bombing of Prison 18,” Qing Wan said.
Qing Chen suddenly understood what the Forbidden Artifact ACE-002 Heaven and Earth Go Board was used for.
The Shadow forces waiting for the Guardians’ Union in the wilderness, the fortress soldiers waiting to take over the Shutian Air Fortress, everything was already prepared.
Soone already saw the future at that ti.
No wonder the Old Master made such a great effort to use such a great montum to cover up and take the Heaven and Earth Go Board from Prison 18.
Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji: “What else did the Old Master prepare?”
“I don’t know,” Qing Ji shook his head: “Everything is confidential. Each part is doing its own thing, and they don’t know what others are doing.”
“Understood,” Qing Chen nodded.
The Old Master did this to prevent soone from predicting many things through his actions, thus changing things that have been determined.
No wonder the other party remained silent during the Qing Family’s internal strife.
The other party wasn’t doing nothing, but at that ti, there were more important things than dealing with internal strife.
Qing Chen muttered to himself: “I’ve always been curious how you found Koshima Li Bingxi’s wife and stopped her resurrection so promptly. Li Bingxi should be very cautious.”
Qing Ji said: “The Old Master designated an area for us to search. It’s a pity that if we were earlier, we might be able to kill the old woman directly and let her take Li Bingxi’s life directly.”
At that ti, outside Forbidden Zone 002, Qing Zhun beca a god for a quarter of an hour to kill Li Bingxi and Chen Yu. Both of these Demi-Gods had backups. Li Bingxi was carrying a Tongxin Lock. After death, he would resurrect at the cost of his wife’s life.
But he failed.
Even Li Bingxi probably couldn’t imagine that his well-hidden wife would be found by the Qing Family.
Qing Chen recalled that when he was captured and taken to A02 Base, the Old Master clearly knew which tributary of the underground river he would float out from, and the other party clearly knew that he would be able to co back alive after being captured, and beco the most prestigious new generation leader of the Qing Family through this incident.
Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji: “Did the Old Master also know that City 10 would have a Rat Tide?”
“Yes,” Qing Ji said.
Qing Chen asked: “Why didn’t you save them earlier? That’s millions of lives!”
Qing Ji looked at him and said: “First, the Old Master didn’t know where Shendai Qianchi’s body was hidden. Second, you gained a city and developed millions of Guardians’ Union mbers based on this city. If nothing happened, you wouldn’t have had ti to do many things.”
“It’s a bit ruthless,” Qing Chen sighed: “At that ti, you had the opportunity to blow open the city walls and let everyone escape.”
“No, if that were the case, the Rat Tide would run into the wilderness without tal Storm control, and even without the West Continent, we would not be able to cope,” Qing Ji said seriously: “That would be a disaster for all mankind. The Rat Tide would first enter the wilderness and use all living things as nourishnt without any scruples. Once it reached a certain scale, it would first swallow City 18 and then continue to spread. Within three months, the Federation would disappear from the world.”
Qing Chen suddenly understood sothing: The Old Master is a bit more powerful than the Fate Weaver, because the Fate Weaver only sees certain fragnts, while the Old Master can even see more possibilities through variables!
So, is everything that happened now chosen by the Old Master himself?
Qing Chen stopped thinking. He called Black Widow: “Will the Storm Air Fortress return to Storm City before the expedition?”
“No,” Black Widow shook her head: “It will stay in the Royal Capital.”
Qing Chen asked Qing Ji again: “Can the Shadow Gate be opened to the Royal Capital?”
“No, I’ve never been there,” Qing Ji shook her head.
At this ti, Black Widow said: “Give a golden True Sight Eye, I’ll try it. Maybe I can directly open the Key Gate there.”
Ling suddenly asked with interest: “78 Victor Avenue?”
Black Widow was stunned: “How do you know? Who are you?!”
Ling smiled and didn’t answer the question.
