Re-entering the Wilderness!

Fifteen minutes later.

The white SUV arrived at a relatively quiet area and stopped in front of a small martial arts hall.

As for Lu Ming, after contacting Lin Ye, he had already begun arranging the transport of supplies.

"This martial arts hall is Deputy Captain Yang Xiao's property."

After getting out of the car, Qi Ling introduced to Lin Ye, "This is where we usually train and live. It's also open to the public, attracting wealthy people who aspire to become martial artists."

"The money we earn goes toward exchanging contribution points for the military."

"Exchange contribution points?"

Reminded by Qi Ling, Lin Ye suddenly remembered that he still had a million contribution points. He asked, "How do I use contribution points?"

"Actually, contribution points are used in the military mall, which is also the largest trading platform in Great Xia.

As long as you have contribution points, you can buy things from the official store. I've heard that the Limit Mercenary Group and the Thunder and Lightning Mercenary Group also have their own malls..."

As he spoke, Qi Ling took out his phone and showed Lin Ye the official trading platform called 'Civilization of Light.'

"You just need your medal serial number and fingerprint to log in."

"What's your serial number?"

Lin Ye: "757."

Qi Ling nodded. "I'm 132. I joined a bit earlier than you."

As they walked, Lin Ye downloaded the 'Civilization of Light' app on his newly replaced phone and tapped into it.

A user notice and terms of service popped up.

Lin Ye skimmed through it. Most of it said that almost everything sold officially could be bought and exchanged with contribution points.

However.

Contribution points could not be traded; they could only be obtained through monster materials and money.

After a quick browse, Lin Ye found that the platform covered a wide variety of items—

From basic Combat Suits and Battle Sabers, to various cultivation methods and traditional martial arts, intelligence... even heavy weapons like planes, cannons, and tanks!!

"What's this?"

As he scrolled, Lin Ye suddenly stared in surprise at one item on the platform. "A Flying Dagger costs two hundred thousand contribution points?!"

His S-grade contract only gave him a total of a million contribution points.

That was only enough to buy five of this grade of high-level Flying Dagger!

"You're probably looking at a Flying Dagger that can deal with High-level Beast Generals, right?" Qi Ling narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Yeah!"

Lin Ye opened the product details and said quietly, "It's a Flying Dagger that can kill High-level Beast Generals and barely break through a Lord Monster's defense."

"A Flying Dagger of this grade is most likely made from Kro Alloy refined from Lord Monster materials." Qi Ling looked at Lin Ye and asked another question. "I'm curious—how many contribution points did your contract give you?"

"You don't know?" Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

"My clearance isn't high enough. A lot of your information is classified."

Qi Ling shrugged helplessly. "I don't even know your current Psychic Power level..."

He looked out the window at the deepening night, almost as if talking to himself. "You're a genius the higher-ups are watching. You're just passing through here temporarily..."

Lin Ye: "..."

He didn't speak. He didn't know what to say.

Because what Qi Ling said was simply the truth.

In this world full of calamities, talented martial artists with strength were always given special treatment...

The car fell into silence.

Lin Ye stared at the two types of Flying Daggers in the trading platform, unable to decide.

Seeing this, the middle-aged captain smiled and said, "If you're going to buy, I suggest you get two high-level Flying Daggers and spend the rest on lower-grade ones."

"Why?"

Qi Ling: "Because in battle, you need the element of surprise. Use your Psychic Power to control the low-grade Flying Daggers as a feint, lull the enemy into complacency, then unleash your killing move and take them out in one strike."

"That makes some sense..." Lin Ye nodded repeatedly, the scene playing out in his mind.

"That was a lesson summed up by our former Deputy Captain, who died in action. He was a brave man."

Qi Ling suddenly smiled, so openly and calmly.

Lin Ye: "..."

"Of course, it's just a reference. You could also buy all high-grade Flying Daggers," Qi Ling said with a laugh.

"I'll take your advice." Lin Ye nodded. He trusted the lessons paid for with the blood of those who came before.

After a series of operations, the million contribution points were completely spent. Lin Ye got what he wanted—two Flying Daggers capable of dealing with High-level Beast Generals and twelve lower-grade ones.

He set the delivery location at this squad's martial arts hall, then followed Qi Ling inside.

Taking the elevator, the two of them went up to the training hall on the fifth floor.

Before they even entered, they could hear the sound of blades cutting through the air from inside.

"Lin Ye, come take a look at your teammates!"

"Alright." A smile spread across Lin Ye's face.

Inside the training hall, several warriors in dark green short sleeves were engaged in combat drills.

They wielded various weapons—some with spears, some with battle sabers, and one even used a spiked club.

Two who weren't participating in the sparring sat chatting on a sofa at the edge.

When they saw Lin Ye and Qi Ling arrive, they stood up immediately.

At the same time, the warriors in combat all stopped and gathered around.

"Let me introduce everyone—this is Lin Ye, the deputy captain temporarily joining our Lingxiao Squad!"

Qi Ling introduced him to the team with a grin, then added mysteriously, "He's not just a High-tier War General, but also a formidable Psychic Master!"

One by one, the teammates came up to greet Lin Ye.

After the introductions, Lin Ye also shared his basic information with them.

This time, Lin Ye had been appointed deputy captain as an outside hire, but he had no intention of interfering with the squad's arrangements.

Once they got familiar, he learned about the other deputy captain, Yang Xiao.

He was originally a High-tier War General, but an injury from last time hadn't fully healed, leaving his combat power equivalent to a Mid-tier War General. He specialized in dual blades and hand-to-hand combat.

As for the other three Mid-tier War Generals and three Low-tier War Generals, Qi Ling introduced them to Lin Ye one by one.

Without exception, they were all experts in cold weapons.

Four used blades, one used a spear.

The last Low-tier War General was a young woman around twenty-six or twenty-seven.

As the only female on the team, she served as the squad's sniper and spotter, specializing in long-range monster kills.

After a brief understanding, Lin Ye quickly got along with everyone.

They all shared the same goal, and since they'd be fighting monsters together in the wilderness, getting to know each other was only natural.

Next came a series of detailed discussions before heading into the wilderness zone...

At eight o'clock that night.

Lin Ye received a package—the weapons he'd bought on the platform.

After signing for it, he quickly familiarized himself with how to control the flying daggers, then stored them in his combat suit.

The other team members were each packing their own supplies.

As midnight approached, the Lingxiao Squad finally received the order to set out.

Fully armed, the group moved forward through the darkness along a dilapidated highway.

As an elite squad of all War Generals, Lin Ye and his team would serve as the vanguard.

Their mission was to clear any monsters along the route that posed a threat to the transport convoy, ensuring smooth passage.

Half an hour after Lin Ye and the others departed, hundreds of transport vehicles set out from the base, following the squad's path.

This time, their task was to head deep into the wilderness zone and deliver supplies to the Owl Wolf Regiment!

At the same moment.

The Heroic Spirit Wall of Shelter No. 057 received a visitor.

The bright moon hung high in the sky.

The moonlight in the wilderness zone was especially clear.

In the silver glow, a figure in a crisp military uniform walked through the gate and stopped at a corner.

Xue Zhan carried a few bottles of strong liquor and some dishes to visit the brothers resting beneath the earth.

The entire Heroic Spirit Cemetery was surrounded by lush green pines.

Wiping the tombstones, setting out the dishes, pouring the wine... everything was done with practiced ease.

After filling twelve cups with liquor, he placed them one by one before several gravestones.

Once that was done, he walked to the one in the center, looked at the familiar gray-and-white portrait carved on it, and said with emotion, "Captain Liu, you always said humanity had hope."

"Well, now you've damn well been proven right!"

"With a line like that, us brothers have to drink one for you!"

Xue Zhan was brimming with heroic spirit, his right hand trembling slightly from excitement as he raised his glass. "Bottoms up!"

The fiery liquor seared down his throat, turning into a scalding warmth, and a mist slowly rose in Xue Zhan's eyes.

He stared at the familiar figure on the tombstone, his voice hoarse. "Just today, we signed a seventeen-year-old High-tier War General."

"I can tell, this kid is no ordinary talent. His future growth is limitless."

"Given time, he'll definitely become a peak War God of Great Xia!!"

The more Xue Zhan spoke, the more excited he grew, nearly gesticulating wildly.

In that moment, he looked even more thrilled than when he himself had become a War God.

"Not only that, he's also a Psychic Master at the Primary War God level—the kind of powerful warrior who manipulates weapons to slash and kill monsters in a flash..."

"Back then, I thought, if I die in battle someday, maybe I could carve his serial number onto our tombstone."

"That way, it'd count as witnessing the rise of a peak powerhouse of Great Xia... haha!!"

Xue Zhan glanced at the tombstone and then burst into laughter.

But as he laughed, he gradually fell silent.

In the quiet Heroic Spirit Wall, a gentle breeze brushed by.

The surrounding pines and cypresses rustled softly, as if the captain had heard Xue Zhan's words and answered in silence...

Xue Zhan's lips quivered. He lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly, pain surfacing on his face from the memories.

"Captain, why didn't you let me stay back then, to fight alongside you all!!"

"I'm a High-tier War General now too. I've killed forty Beast General-level Monsters and one thousand sixty-three Beast Soldiers... but that's still far from enough!!"

"I'll keep killing until my last breath..."

Xue Zhan lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over the twelve stone tablets. He looked at these brothers who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him, drinking glass after glass.

Finally, tears uncontrollably streamed from the eyes of this High-tier War General, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Xue Zhan slowly crouched beside the tombstone. Beneath his neatly combed hair were eyes filled with grief and sorrow: "Captain, I miss you all..."

In the surveillance room.

Xu Qi silently watched this scene, her eyes reddening.

Every chapter you see is refined from four to five thousand words.

I promise you, from now on, no more filler—I'll write the story properly!
