Chapter 68
There, the Lungmen is so close, yet forever out of reach.
No matter what, Talulah the Black Snake wants to destroy Lungmen.
At this moment, we have to consider whether going there now would be suicide.
How could one possibly launch a direct assault on a mobile city-state?
The Swarm infantrymen would be instantly killed by the kites.
In the end.
They realized that this might be something extraordinary that the Yan had deployed—a weapon that Ursus had never seen before.
Talulah, the Black Snake, could only reluctantly say something.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
Inside Chernobog, orders to retreat spread like wildfire.
"Everyone, listen up! Evacuate from the west exit!" The messenger's hoarse shout echoed through the steel corridor.
The soldiers of the Reunion Movement awoke as if from a dream, and surged like a tide toward the exit on the other side of the city-state.
FrostNova stood on high ground, looking down at the chaotic crowd below.
She actually smiled.
"Old stubborn man." She turned to the silent Patriot. "Thank goodness none of that happened."
"I'm going to cover the retreat," Patriot's voice came from beneath his armor, heavy as iron. "You take the Yeti Squad and go first."
At the western exit, the Reunion Movement was hastily withdrawing.
"Quick! Let's go!"
"Don't push! Let the injured pass first!"
"Damn it, who blocked the road?!"
The soldiers pushed and shoved their way through the narrow exit.
Someone fell down and was immediately trampled underfoot by the person behind them.
Some of the stampede incidents also occurred here.
Weapons and supplies were scattered all over the ground, crushed into the mud by countless military boots.
The chaos within the Reunion Movement is evident.
Meanwhile, inside the control room of Chernobog.
"Activate all the turrets!" roared a Reunion Movement technical officer wearing an engineering cap. "Everyone else, evacuate immediately! Twenty men are enough!"
The operators were frantically adjusting the control panel.
The limited Originium energy stored in the pipes within the city was redistributed to the city's defense system, and several heavy cannons slowly turned, aiming at Lungmen.
"Listen!" the technician grabbed a young soldier by the shoulder. "Your mission is to hold these gun emplacements until the main force is safely evacuated. Understand?"
The young soldier swallowed hard and nodded.
The other personnel left behind by him silently checked their ammunition, preparing to sacrifice themselves to cover the retreat.
On the Lungmen city wall, Chen Huiye suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"They're retreating," she said, pointing to the dust rising west of Chernobog. "Look over there!"
Wei Yenwu's dragon eyes narrowed slightly. "Trying to run?"
He raised his hand, about to order a pursuit, but the Rat King held his arm down.
"Don't rush," the Rat King said, squinting. "Look over there."
Suddenly, the armor plates facing Lungmen on Chernobog opened, revealing the dark muzzles of cannons.
Several warning shells landed in the open space between the two cities, creating huge craters.
"They're covering our retreat," Kal'tsit said coldly. "A hasty pursuit would come at an unnecessary cost."
Talulah, the Black Snake, stood at the very back of the retreating group.
She turned to look at the stagnant Chernobog, her expression shifting between light and shadow.
After taking one last look at the trapped city, Talulah, the Black Snake Serpent, turned and merged into the retreating crowd.
Xiao Huasheng's slight intervention directly led to the collapse of the Reunion Movement.
After this battle, she herself will be treated as a high-risk combat unit and will be subject to special treatment.
It can easily paralyze a mobile city from a kilometer away, and it seems to be done without any effort.
This is equivalent to saying that she can paralyze any mobile city-state at will, and also conquer any mobile city-state.
When the mobile city-state faces a paralyzed, live target, its terrifying firepower will demonstrate its power to everyone.
The Chernobog Incident has come to an end thanks to Xiao Huasheng's intervention.
One day after the Chernobog Incident.
Wei Yenwu, in the most prosperous location in Lungmen, personally received Xiao Huasheng in an official capacity.
He treated him as an honored guest right in front of everyone.
Xiao Huasheng was utterly astonished by this gift.
I just feel that if I lived in Lungmen, having such an honorary title would definitely be much better.
"I'm exhausted." Xiao Huasheng lay down on the sofa, not wanting to move anymore.
Although she can go to Sami anytime.
But she actually didn't have much time left; only three days.
I spent almost two days dealing with the Chernobog Incident, so instead of searching for an incomplete clue on the last day, I might as well just lie here and enjoy myself.
Exusiai also started complaining at this moment.
Chapter 27: Kai the Cat Who Wants Candy [8 Updates]
"Xiao Xiao, you're a celebrity now." Exusiai swung her legs, popped a candy into her mouth, and said, "I'd like to ask you for an autograph. Maybe you can sell it for some money."
Texas, wiping her Originium Sword without looking up, said, "You two look exactly alike. Even if you were the real person, you'd have tons of people asking for your autograph if you went out in person."
Exusiai's weakness was directly exposed, and she gave an awkward laugh.
"That's true. If we go out, we'll be surrounded by people. Is this a happy kind of trouble?" Not only can Xiao Huasheng not give birth, but even Exusiai has to avoid us.
She was a little afraid to go out.
Croissant Man's Rant.
"Isn't it because you two look alike?"
Xiao Huasheng turned around and leaned against Exusiai's thigh, lying on her lap and playing his game console.
Exusiai's thighs, firm and cool, would make excellent material for a pillow.
"Hey, my legs are really going to go numb."
Exusiai began to complain, but Xiao Huasheng remained unmoved and continued talking to himself.
"Things will be fine once this storm passes. I was tricked by Wei Yenwu. He even said he would send me the best desserts from Lungmen. If I had known that he was trying to give me a Hero-class's title, I would never have gone."
On the table at Penguin Logistics, there was a large box of desserts sent by Wei Yenwu.
Clearly, Wei Yenwu did not break his promise.
The Emperor, cigar in mouth, squinted at the window. "Yan's reaction this time is quite interesting... They only praise Xiao Huasheng, but haven't said a word about the doctor who can cure the Infected."
"Because the issue of the Infected involves Doli," Kal'tsit's voice suddenly came from the doorway. "To acknowledge that doctor's abilities is tantamount to admitting that all countries' policies toward the Infected are wrong, and no one wants to contradict themselves."
Xiao Huasheng, who had just relaxed, spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Kal'tsit, didn't you go back to Rhodes Island?"
Kal'tsit hesitated slightly before saying, "Actually, I have something to give to Ms. Akatsuki... Um, who is it?"
Looking at the two identical Exusiai leaning against each other, she suddenly became hesitant.
The Reunion Movement disbanded because the news that someone could cure Oripathy shattered the spirit of most people.
Only the core members continue to follow Talulah and fight in the name of the Infected.
In the wilderness of Ursus.
As snow fell heavily, the Yeti Squad reappeared on this land.
FrostNova trod across the scorched earth, her boots crushing a piece of ice crystal.
"Old stubborn man, where do we go next?"
The Patriot gazed at the distant horizon, morning dew clinging to his armor. "... to find the true answer."
The Yeti Squad members followed silently behind.
After this battle, the fervor in the eyes of many of them had faded, replaced by a deep sense of confusion.
Anyone with a modicum of rationality, after seeing Talulah's actions, would know that she was no longer the fighter for the Infected.
Talulah is now nothing more than an ambitious schemer who wants to start a war.
FrostNova touched the Originium crystal on her neck, then chuckled softly, "At least for now, we don't have to rush to die."
Black Snake's plan failed, and there is no doubt that the course of this world will be changed.
"Are you sure you want to give this to me?" Xiao Huasheng looked at Kal'tsit with suspicion, at the object she was handing him.
Under the curious gaze of Penguin Logistics, a small cube, resembling a mobile phone, appeared in Xiao Huasheng's hand.
"PRTS Tactical Terminal, standard equipment for Rhodes Island Elite Operator." Kal'tsit's voice remained calm, but her amber eyes held a barely perceptible hint of expectation. "Built-in Rhodes Island ship-wide positioning system, and... my private communication channel."
Xiao Huasheng nearly dropped the terminal he was holding.
She frantically held the small cube that shimmered with a cold blue light. As her fingertips touched the surface, a holographic projection immediately unfolded in the air, clearly displaying the structural diagram of Rhodes Island's ships.
"Wait, Elite Operator privileges?" Xiao Huasheng looked up abruptly, her hair brushing against Exusiai's chin. "I haven't even gone through the onboarding process!"
Exusiai suddenly leaned in, her nose almost touching the projection. "Wow, look, this 3D map even updates in real time!"
The Emperor, looking at Kal'tsit, naturally knew what she was thinking.
However, it didn't stop them; they were all immortals, and they all knew each other well.
Kal'tsit reluctantly said, "Given that you prevented a collision between a mobile city-state and another, the Doctor believes that the standard recruitment process can be... appropriately omitted."
"Why should I have it?" Xiao Huasheng couldn't help but ask.
Kal'tsit gave a very simple answer to her question.
"We are all connected, ma'am, please accept this."
Faced with Rhodes Island's overtures, she had no choice but to accept them, despite her many questions.
After all, she still wanted to see what Rhodes Island looked like, and she was also quite curious about whether she herself could be hung on the bridge.
Of course, Kal'tsit gave her more than just that.
There was also a list that almost entirely covered everything she knew about objects related to teleportation on this land.
This made Xiao Huasheng sigh with emotion.
"Kai Maomao is so kind, she actually gave me so much stuff." Xiao Huasheng hugged the document and the PRTS terminal with a smile.
As a reward, she gave Kai Maomao a string of candied hawthorns.
Holding a candied hawthorn, Kai Maomao left Penguin Logistics like a thief.
