Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 682: Night Falls on the Night Watch Camp (Eghver. Comfort +1)

"It's show time!" Wu Hen grinned, revealing a smile full of fighting spirit.

"System, give me some appetizers." Wu Hen muttered to himself.

The next second, a huge magic circle appeared under his feet.

A giant wolf with flames all over its body leaped out and let out a deafening roar at the monster.

"Fuck, Wu Hen, what's this new thing?"

Cao Yuan's eyes widened, and he almost dropped the knife in his hand. "You're hiding well enough!"

Wu Hen shrugged and chuckled, "Secret weapon, understand?"

The giant fire wolf pounced on the monster without mercy, its sharp claws tearing through the air, bringing up gusts of scorching wind.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and the sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light: "Don't just watch the show, come on!"

"If I don't chop this thing into minced meat today, I'm not Lin!"

"Alright!" Baili Pangpang yelled and rushed forward waving the two kitchen knives in his hands.

"Look at me, Fatty, I'm going to show you how to cut a melon!"

An Qingyu silently pushed his glasses up, and countless tiny runes surrounded him like a group of fireflies waiting for an opportunity to move.

"It's begun," he said softly.

Shenlongguan, temporary command center.

Zuo Qing sat at his desk and rubbed his eyebrows.

"I don't know what happened to them..." he muttered to himself.

"Don't worry, Captain Zuo." Fang Zuo stood aside, his tone calm, "We all know the strength of [Nightfall], there will be no problem."

Zuo Qing sighed: "I hope so."

Suddenly, the communicator rang.

"Report! Outside Shenlong Pass, a UFO has been spotted approaching!"

Zuo Qing's expression changed: "What?!"

"Alright everyone, the battle is over, you can clean up the battlefield."

Zuo Qing looked at the people in front of him with bruised faces and noses and said helplessly.

Lin Qiye grinned: "Captain Zuo, you're here just in time. We were just about to go back."

"Go back?" Zuo Qing raised an eyebrow. "Where to?"

"Of course I'm going back to Beijing!"

Baili Pangpang said excitedly, "Captain Zuo, you didn't forget about us, did you?"

Zuo Qing smiled and nodded: "Of course I haven't forgotten. This time I came here specifically to take you back."

"Really?!" Everyone cheered.

"However, before we go back, there are some things I need to explain."

Zuo Qing cleared his throat and looked serious.

"First, after you return, you will need to complete a comprehensive information registration,"

"This includes your abilities, combat habits, and so on. These are all to better customize your equipment."

"Customized equipment?"

Cao Yuan's eyes lit up. "What equipment? Any high-tech gadgets?"

"Well... we'll keep it a secret for now."

Zuo Qing smiled mysteriously, "But I can guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"In addition to customizing equipment, there is another very important thing."

Zuo Qing continued,

"Your performance at Shenlong Pass was outstanding. The higher-ups have decided to award your Nightfall team two Starry Sea medals."

"'Star Ocean' Medal?!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then broke into thunderous cheers.

"Fuck, two?! Is this true?!" Baili Pangpang jumped up excitedly.

"Captain Zuo, you are kidding, right?!" Cao Yuan couldn't believe it either.

"of course it's true."

Zuo Qing smiled and nodded. "The Star Sea Medal represents the highest honor. Your [Nightfall] team is well-deserved."

"Great! This is awesome!" Baili Pangpang danced with excitement.

The Phoenix team on the side looked at the Nightfall team.

"Oh, I'm so envious of them. They can actually get two 'Star Sea' medals." Kong Shang said with a sigh.

"Yes, this kind of opportunity is hard to come by." Xia Simeng said helplessly.

"Left Captain, wait, I have a question." Baili Pangpang suddenly raised his hand.

"Are we the only team with two Star Ocean medals?"

Xia Simeng rolled her eyes: "You wish, the [Masked] team also has two."

Baili Pangpang's interest suddenly waned: "Oh...Is that so."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Lin Qiye interrupted everyone's discussion, "Captain Zuo, where is Commander Ye? Why isn't he here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere present suddenly froze and everyone looked at Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing was silent for a moment and sighed slowly.

"This matter... is a long story." Zuo Qing's voice was low, with a hint of unspeakable sadness.

Half a day later in the evening, on the city wall of Shenlong Pass, the sea breeze was howling, carrying a hint of salty smell.

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen sat there side by side, looking at the distant horizon. Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

With a "click", Cao Yuan opened two cans of beer and handed one to Lin Qiye and Wu Hen.

"Come on, brother, have a drink, you'll feel better."

Lin Qiye took the beer, tilted his head back and took a big gulp. The bitter liquid flowed down his throat, but it did not dilute the depression in his heart at all.

Wu Hen also took a sip silently, and the cold beer made him a little more sober.

"Old Lin, Old Wu, I know you're feeling bad, but... Commander Ye's death is not your fault."

Cao Yuan patted Lin Qiye's shoulder and said in a heavy tone, "Really, you have tried your best."

Lin Qiye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If...if we had passed the news back earlier, maybe...he wouldn't have to..."

"Old Lin, don't say that."

Wu Hen patted Lin Qiye's back.

"You know our situation at the time. There was no way we could contact headquarters in time."

"Even if we were to contact Commander Ye... he would still make the same choice."

Wu Hen knew in his heart that Commander Ye was just like that. For the sake of the overall situation, he could sacrifice everything, including his own life.

"Ugh…"

Lin Qiye sighed and looked up at the sky.

"If I had been... a little stronger... if I had..."

"Lao Lin, you are already very strong!" Cao Yuan interrupted him.

"You've done enough! Commander Ye...he's a true hero!"

"He won't blame you, and neither will we." Cao Yuan's voice was a little choked. He thought of all the kindness Commander Ye had shown him, and his heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.

"Back then, when I first joined the Night's Watch, I was still a young boy and knew nothing."

"It was Commander Ye who taught me and promoted me step by step, which led to my success today."

"He is like my father..." Cao Yuan said, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

"Commander Ye...he always reserves the most dangerous missions for himself, leaving the hope of survival to others..."

Cao Yuan's voice trembled. "He often said, 'We are the night watchmen. Guarding the hope of mankind is our unshirkable responsibility!'"

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen listened quietly, their hearts full of respect.

They knew that Commander Ye was a true hero, someone worthy of their eternal admiration.

"Old Lin, Old Wu, we should respect Commander Ye's choice."

"He sacrificed himself to protect us, to safeguard the hope of mankind."

"What we can do is to inherit his will and continue to fight!" Cao Yuan said in a firm tone.

At this moment, a ship slowly sailed into the port of Shenlongguan.

Several night watchmen carried a stretcher covered with white cloth and slowly walked past Lin Qiye and the others.

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen's attention was drawn over, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"That is..." Lin Qiye looked at the stretcher and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"It's Lu Qiu..." Fang Zuo appeared behind them at some point, speaking in a low voice.

"He lost his life on the way back from delivering intelligence..."

The air seemed to freeze, and Lin Qiye and Wu Hen were stunned where they were.

Their eyes were fixed on the stretcher, their hearts filled with grief and shock.

Cao Yuan also fell silent. He walked silently to the stretcher, reached out and gently lifted a corner of the white cloth.

Revealing a young and pale face...

"He...he also..." Cao Yuan's voice choked and he could no longer speak.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and slowly walked to the stretcher.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked Lu Qiu's cold face.

"Commander Ye... Lu Qiu... they... their sacrifice cannot be in vain..."

Lin Qiye's voice was low and firm, "I...I will make those monsters...pay the price!"

Wu Hen patted Lin Qiye's shoulder, his eyes revealing a firmness: "Old Lin, I'll accompany you!"

At this moment, there was a commotion at the foot of the city wall, and someone shouted, "Captain Lin! Wu Hen! Someone's looking for you!"

"Looking for us? Who?" Lin Qiye wiped his face and jumped down from the city wall, followed closely by Wu Hen.

Cao Yuan also followed. He looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder and said, "Go and have a look. Maybe... it's a good thing."

Several people walked quickly to the foot of the city wall and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes standing there, looking around anxiously.

When he saw Lin Qiye and Wu Hen, his eyes lit up and he immediately came forward to greet them.

"Is this Comrade Lin Qiye and Comrade Wu Hen? I'm Li Wen from the Special Operations Team!"

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said hurriedly, "I'm here to pick you up. It's urgent. Please follow me immediately!"

Lin Qiye frowned: "Pick us up? Where to? What happened?"

Li Wen lowered his voice and said, "It's not convenient to disclose the specific situation. Anyway, it's a very important mission."

"I need you to rush to Shangjing immediately! This matter is of great importance and there is no time to lose!"

Wu Hen's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of something: "Wait, Comrade Li, can I ask what level of mission it is? Does it require us [Nightfall] and... me to go out together?"

Li Wen's face was solemn: "S-level, the highest level."

"S-level?!" Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan exclaimed at the same time.

S-level missions are only activated at the most critical moments!

Cao Yuan's face turned pale in an instant: "S-level... could it be..."

Li Wen didn't answer, but nodded: "The situation is more serious than you think."

"You two, please follow me immediately!"

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and turned to look at Wu Hen: "Old Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Hen's lips curled up slightly, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Hey, S-level... Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch this time!"

"Let's go, Lao Lin, let's go see if the sky of Shangjing has collapsed!"

"it is good!"

Lin Qiye nodded, his tone firm, "Cao Yuan, I'll leave this place to you!"

"Don't worry, Lao Lin!"

Cao Yuan shook Lin Qiye's hand vigorously, "Be careful!"

"Let's go!" Lin Qiye and Wu Hen followed Li Wen and walked quickly towards the black car parked not far away.

Just as they were about to get on the bus, Wu Hen suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, looked in the direction of Shenlongguan, and said softly: "System, would you like some appetizers?"

"Ding! Detected that the host is about to perform an S-rank mission, rewarding a special item: 'Smile of the Goddess of Luck'."

"After use, the mission success rate increases by 30%, and there is a chance of receiving additional rewards."

Wu Hen's mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile.

"The smile of the goddess of luck? Sounds good... This time, we must make those guys pay the price!"

After saying that, Wu Hen got into the car without looking back.

The car started, the engine made a low roar, and sped towards Shangjing.

Only Cao Yuan was left standing there alone, looking at the vehicles going away, his heart full of worry.

"What exactly is this S-rank mission?"
