Chapter 86: The Teleportation Array Wanted—Bandits at the Door!

The box of awakened powers was not going to run away.

Taya frowned.

“The news isn’t going anywhere either, sis—dear sister—the box is more important.”

A few youthful, restless survivors looked at Taya with pitiful faces, because what they cared about most was the box of awakened powers.

Powers!

The legendary powers!

With powers, what monster could they not beat?

“...”

Taya let out a helpless sigh.

Even though Liu Qian and the others, and even Bai Gu and the rest, were mostly dressed in old-fashioned clothing, the man before him was different: his streamlined bearing gave off an almost impossibly futuristic feel.

Two streaks of azure true energy slammed into the two armed helicopters like cannonballs. The helicopters did not even have time to evade before they burst into two fireballs and exploded in midair.

Lu Yuan only smiled at that, showing no concern at all; he understood better than anyone how terrifying the core was.

Han Bing glanced at the antidote in his hand and said with a smile, “I told you long ago that since Sister Xiangjun gave it to you, you must keep it safe at all times and never let anything happen to it.”

Fang Chen raised a hand to cut him off; as for those official expressions and attitudes, Fang Chen no longer cared to pay them any mind.

That killing aura made the whole land seem like hell itself. Green light shot up to the heavens, chaos mist billowed everywhere, and his voice rang like a great bronze bell—sonorous, forceful, and terrifying.

In the next instant, a brilliant violet light shot out from the watchtower like a black hole devouring all things. Though it was violet, the moment it touched the air it bloomed with a strange black radiance.

Lu Fan was left speechless. Since ancient times, plants had been thought mindless, and people instinctively believed they could not possess inherited bloodlines.

At the sight of this, the young player’s clenched fist suddenly loosened. He exhaled heavily, and a trace of cold mockery appeared in his eyes as he looked at the veteran player.

Seeing Yelv Yao’s troubled, hesitant face, one could not help wondering what the khan had summoned everyone here for.

Li He was indeed confused and panicked. On the one hand, he was relieved to have run into familiar faces after surviving disaster; on the other, he feared being abandoned by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, for it was clear they did not think very highly of him.

So she would not tell him, nor let him know, that she was already the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Corps.

“Perhaps we should discuss it with Director Tan first and drain the water. That would make it easier to search.” Gu Long also felt it was hard on Du Minghan to keep going down into the water again and again. Although the water-escape talisman could let a person remain underwater a little longer, it did not make one swim beneath the surface as though on dry land; he still had to hold his breath.

As for Gui Shiwu, his eyelashes were long, his eyes bright and glistening, his skin fair and smooth, and his face flushed red with youthful beauty—he was quite a handsome seedling.

To say his merits were not many was only in comparison with celebrated sage-kings like Wu Zhao and Li Longji; after all, these were imperial merits, and compared with others, they were by no means few.

Not long after, when the group reached the city gate, Ye was already waiting there. There was not much inspection, and they were let into the city.

Sasuke’s expression tightened, his young eyes filled with ruthless resolve, his gaze overflowing with some fierce desire.

Since they had already exchanged formal greetings, she could not be bothered to say much more. Turning around, she slipped back into the sedan chair.

If it had been anyone else, she would never have been so selfless and willing to sacrifice herself for another—but he had been poisoned while protecting her, and besides... he was Jing Yue’s older brother.

Jiangnan had enjoyed long years of peace and prosperity, its wealthy merchants and prominent families as numerous as hairs on an ox. Even recent products such as grape wine had gradually found a market, and the factory’s income could only barely sustain the soldiers’ wages.

The graduates of the Xining Institute of Science and Technology, as adults, had mastered the highest levels of scientific knowledge and technology. Some stayed on as teachers, some entered the Ordnance Bureau, some went into factories, some filled official posts, and some devoted themselves to research. Others, like Xu Xiake, traveled the country conducting examinations and verifications.
