Chapter 371 Camp Raid? Suicide Attempt!
Chapter 371 Camp Raid? Suicide Attempt!
Zhong Ming and Yue Xingtian exchanged glances, and Zhong Ming winked, signaling him to accept the honor.
But before the two could reply, the newcomer flashed his city lord's token and said urgently, "I'm taking this person with me."
After saying that, he picked up the body that had been split in two and left.
Yue Xingtian gazed thoughtfully at the departing powerful figure; he seemed to have heard of this person before.
He walked over to Zhong Ming and whispered, "I'll transfer these rewards to you later. I definitely won't steal your credit."
Then, thank you for your help, Brother Yue.
Zhong Ming had no objections, but the "naturally friendly" guy next to him was unhappy and started shouting: "What the hell? He doesn't know his place. He talks like this guy is some kind of senior who killed him. It's clearly the idol's doing."
He complained a few times, which seemed more like expressing his stance to Zhong Ming than genuine dissatisfaction.
"What's your name?"
Upon hearing that his idol had actually asked him his name, the naturally outgoing guy was incredibly excited and blurted out his entire family history.
"I am from the shores of the Yelan River, born in a small town called Miyun. My original name was Zhang Tieguang, my father was Zhang Junlai, and my mother was Zou Ermei. At the age of eight, I encountered a celestial master who came to test my talent. I was chosen to formally embark on the path of immortality. My first master was Daoming, the celestial master of the Enlightenment Academy. However, because of my bad temper and lack of talent, the celestial master did not like me and refused to bestow upon me a Daoist name. I chose my own Daoist name, Liqing Daoren. After reaching the third level of Qi Refining, I participated in the new recruit assessment..."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ming quickly waved his hand. He still had some tinnitus from the battle just now, and if he were to recite such a long passage of "scripture" again, he was afraid he would faint in the next second.
"Wait, let's talk about it at the celebration banquet later. I need to rest for a while."
......
Time ticked by, and the void in the anti-flight barrier was finally breached. A streak of light shot through the air and headed south. Only a handful of people managed to escape from Cliff City.
A cultivator who appeared to be at the Golden Core stage flew away from above Zhong Ming's head. This shouldn't affect his mission, since he can't break through the anti-flight restrictions.
When the riots subsided, the soldiers were no longer assigned to guard duty, but to patrol. This farce, which was exceptionally brutal and whose enemy was unknown, finally came to an end.
Zhong Ming returned to the Flame Wolf Army's camp exhausted. This time, he was recruited again under the name of the Third Guard.
Nominally, he was recalled to guard the artillery camp as the "smallest" guard force, but in reality, he was there to take stock of the losses from the riot.
The camp's perimeter was indeed subjected to sporadic attacks, with the outermost guard camps suffering considerable losses.
Especially the small building with bells, it completely collapsed?
"Fang Qianqian! Zhang Youcai!"
Zhong Ming shouted, and two heads emerged from the ruins.
"Captain, you're finally back."
"You weren't conscripted to guard the city walls?"
"No, my sister said it's dangerous outside and told us to guard the camp, but..."
Judging from the collapsed buildings, the campsite wasn't in much better shape.
Zhang Youcai was trembling all over, shaking like a leaf, his hair was a mess and covered with a layer of dust.
"Youcai, don't be afraid. You are a warrior, a brave warrior." Zhong Ming felt a little helpless; he still had to coax the child.
"Captain, I...I..."
"Well, it's good that you're still alive. Being alive is the greatest blessing."
"I killed one."
"Yes, that's right, killed one... killed one!"
Zhang Youcai opened his palms; his hands were exceptionally clean, as if he had washed them countless times with water and wiped them with cloth.
"I...I killed someone, I..."
Seeing that the little guy couldn't even speak coherently, Fang Qianqian quickly added, "This kid is incredibly brave. He punched that bastard right into the chest and crushed his heart."
At this point, Zhang Youcai's expression clearly changed, and his voice trembled violently, "Stop talking! I told you to stop! Don't say another word!" He turned to Zhong Ming and cried out, "Captain, I'm a bad person! I've become a bad person! Waaah~~~"
Zhong Ming grabbed Fang Qianqian and asked, "Tell me, who did he kill? What happened here? Who blasted the building down?"
Fang Qianqian told the truth, saying that a group of people, a shop owner selling talismans and his employees, saw a chaotic battle break out and hurriedly closed the shop. However, things didn't go as planned, and the restrictions on this small shop were not reliable. In the chaos of the Foundation Establishment stage battle, they smashed the door and caused a great mess inside the shop.
The group quickly escaped and requested assistance from the 134th Artillery Battalion.
Fang Qianqian stopped them, and after some arguing, Zhang Youcai also came out to stand, but unexpectedly another group of people arrived and attacked.
Fang Qianqian said, "During this critical period, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without exception."
Then... a group of people who were taking advantage of the chaos rushed over.
I don't know what got into them, maybe they thought there must be a lot of valuable military supplies in the military camp, and now that all the troops have been withdrawn, the defense must be weak, so they thought they might as well raid the military warehouse.
Because the 134th Artillery Battalion had just arrived here; before that, this area was a large military warehouse district.
This group acted on a whim, led by a seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivator, and they rushed in.
After this job, I'll run away, heading south to the sea, then sailing north to live a carefree and happy life.
At least that's what they thought.
Fang Qianqian couldn't stop him at all and was sent flying.
Zhang Youcai and the group of people from the talisman shop went into the guard camp's small building to take refuge. The bandits didn't have time to pay attention to the simple area outside and rushed straight into the interior.
The matter should have ended there, which was a game of hide-and-seek, but unfortunately, his shop assistants were getting restless.
Fang Qianqian was furious on the spot. "I can't beat you Foundation Establishment cultivators who are taking advantage of my misfortune, and you're taking advantage of my misfortune after coming in to seek refuge?"
Then they started fighting.
Zhang Youcai killed people simply because he was caught up in a fit of rage.
As for that group of robbers... Sister 01 is a working-class woman whose resentment is even greater than that of a vengeful ghost...
Finally, after getting Master Cuihong to learn how to maintain artillery shells, the workload for the entire maintenance team was finally a bit lighter. And then you, you troublemaker, got transferred, huh? Now I have to do his job too.
He was immediately scattered by the robbers, leaving not a trace of ash. The last one to escape, seeing the situation was not good, ran away.
After listening, Zhong Ming nodded slightly and pointed to the ruins, saying, "What happened to this building? Don't tell me you're strong enough to collapse this thing."
At this point, Fang Qianqian said somewhat embarrassedly, "Captain, I don't know either. We were fighting when the ground suddenly shook violently, and the house collapsed on its own. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been buried inside."
