Chapter 37: The Zerg
The wolves were piled into the shelter, forming a mound that reached nearly to the ceiling.
Shi Nianqing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the abundance of meat. Finally, there was no need to worry about food and drink for the time being. Although two extra mouths to feed had joined them, they seemed capable of hard work and, at the very least, possessed the necessary strength.
Nearby, the campfire continued to blaze. Wu Xuan, having finished helping move the supplies, sat directly at the entrance, gazing at Shi Nianqing with bright, expectant eyes. "Sister Shi, when can we—"
However, this very calmness in his gaze felt like a heavy slap across the face to the effeminate young man.
Mu Xuefu turned her eyes to him, looking at him with burning intensity, and after calling out "Yuchen," she threw herself into his arms.
What has happened to me? Xia Tian asked himself, surrounded by darkness and unable to see anything, his entire body wracked with pain. The last time he awoke from unconsciousness was inside that transport cocoon; he had supposedly been teleported to an interstellar starship light-years away while exploring a laboratory outside of campus, with no memory of the event at all.
Jian Kai walked away, looking back to offer a slightly apologetic smile to Tang Guo and Qin Cang before pulling his mother along with him.
Lian Haiping stepped slowly out of the narrow alleyway. He was dressed in a Zhongshan suit with a crew cut—a completely modern look that stood in stark contrast to the passersby in their long robes and traditional garments. He looked like an outsider, a monster fallen from the heavens.
Even so, Sima Wufang stepped forward to meet him. Fearless of Xia Zixuan’s raw physical strength, he engaged in aggressive close-quarters combat, his hands moving in rapid succession. This time, three vortexes appeared at once, radiating a terrifying devouring force, while an ancient beast lunged from behind, its roar shaking the heavens.
In truth, Lu Ping stayed here because he enjoyed the environment; otherwise, he would have long since gone to Chai Jin’s side.
The Grade A source box was also a cubic container, about the size of an oil drum, designed primarily for transportation.
Olympus Peak, the satellite floating stone Princess Island. This floating stone was massive, housing the Jade Spring—the royal spring of the Kingdom of the Sky.
"Just remember that. Be a good child and never break the law; otherwise, it will break our hearts for a lifetime," Fu Hongju said, stroking her son’s hair with earnest advice.
In his hands, the crimson Reaper’s Blade was raised high once more. A golden-red light erupted from the blade, igniting into a roaring inferno, while the same golden-red radiance shimmered across his own body.
The dark energy passed through the Scarred Man’s body and exploded only when it reached Gouzi. The latter felt nothing obvious and bore no external wounds, but in reality, his injuries were far more severe than the Scarred Man’s.
With a thunderous roar, a flash of purple-red light erupted from his robes. Heermeng, consumed by monstrous rage, charged toward Yelena with overwhelming force.
Most of the stone sarcophagi were sealed tight. Occasionally, one could see an open lid, but there was nothing inside.
By this calculation, the wall of the sword-grinding room had to be rebuilt every five months, and as Mo Kaize’s strength continued to grow, this interval would only shorten.
Ma Qiuying thought that since the words had been spoken so bluntly, Liu Xiuyu would surely leave. Unfortunately, she underestimated the thickness of Liu Xiuyu’s skin; the two women acted as if they hadn't heard a thing and continued to ransack the other room.
"Tang Wei, don't you think you’re going too far?! Just because your father is a general, don't think you can do whatever you want here."
A silver beam of light, connecting heaven and earth, passed silently through the center of the cable-stayed bridge. There was no cataclysmic release of energy; it simply dissipated into the air.
The sea began to glow with a deep blue fluorescence as far as the eye could see. Before long, the entire surface of the water lit up, transforming the world into a dreamlike blue landscape.
In her current state, it was clear she had been carefully groomed; no one expected that she would turn out to be so breathtakingly beautiful.
After all, Maria was merely a peripheral operative for the Controller; even while being hunted, her subconscious was still trying to find excuses for them.
