Chapter 295: Why Don't You Go Stand Guard at Logistics

Han Ruoxi was tuning her power gloves, refuting without even looking up: "Sending more people only works if they can actually hold the line. Who else in the base do you think is better suited for this mission than us?"

"Fair point!" Sun Yang curled his lip. "But the thing is, we're not soldiers of steel either. We managed to claw our lives back today, but we'd better not leave them behind tomorrow!"

"If you are afraid of death, you shouldn't have come," Shen Qiuyue murmured flatly from the corner.

Luan Xun massaged his temples in vexation, casting a glance at Shen Yuan nearby, whose complexion was more deathly pale than a graveyard phantom.

The fist struck squarely against the vine that had arrived second. With the radiant force already unleashed and impossible to retract, Wood let out a bitter laugh at his own blunder, thinking that such a terrifying strike would leave him crippled if not dead.

"On a day like today, everyone stepping out with a smile has someone to hold," the driver chuckled. I smiled along, too.

Just like Wei Biao and Zheng Sa, who had previously been highly favored by the Empress Dowager and had carried out countless sordid deeds for her in the shadows—where were they now?

In fact, their renown was faintly on the verge of eclipsing that of the Sovereign of Command. Of course, this might just be a rumor; after all, the western region had produced two Sovereigns of Command, distinguished by Lan Shu’s elegant grace and Hu Ling’s enchanting allure.

At the same time, there was no doubt that these exquisite bullets required a supreme firearm to match; if Huaye were to fire them from the two antiques in his hands, he would probably perish on the spot.

For those enterprises truly dedicated to developing high technology, even if you harbor no affection for them, do not mindlessly echo the slander of others, because every forward step they take is ten times harder than that of their foreign counterparts.

Dachun snapped his eyes open, as if awakening from a grand dream, feeling a sudden sense of lingering loss, yet his mind was remarkably clear and refreshed! The breakthrough achieved from this journey of the primordial spirit was already night and day compared to yesterday.

This state of affairs could not continue indefinitely. Cui Bin knit his brows, pondering a way to resolve the issue once and for all, when his eyes inadvertently caught a movement in the arm of the silhouette suspended in mid-air. Suddenly, a phantom formed of brilliant blue light burst forth in the sky, rapidly enveloping the high platform where Cui Bin stood.

Walking all the way to the storefront, it was clear that Zhang's Roasted Seeds and Nuts was already open for business. Shopkeeper Zhang sat behind the counter with a brazier, his fingers strumming the abacus as his eyes narrowed again and again.

"What happened to them?" Seeing Nongyu, who usually possessed a gentle temperament, now wearing a look of indignation, Qin Buyi knew she must have suffered some grievance. He glanced at the police officers busy working inside the cordon, unsure of what to say, and could only offer her gentle words of comfort.

"What? Those two gentlemen are actually in Zhongshan? May I ask Your Highness, where exactly in the State of Zhongshan are the two venerable elders right now?" He Yong asked in great excitement.

Perhaps these people had forced their way in specifically to assassinate her, precisely because they knew she was here.

Scarcely a second later, a pitch-black Alien surged out from the corridor. At the exact moment the creature appeared, Zero fired before Ye Yun could, not because Ye Yun was slower, but because Ye Yun wanted to see if ordinary bullets could pierce the Alien's carapace.

Fearing they might drive her back again, she took a brief breath and repeated the words she had just spoken to Claire to Helena and the others, then looked at them with expectant eyes, awaiting their verdict.

"My lord, Western Liang provoking internal strife among the Xiongnu is merely a tactic; stationing their forces in Bing Province is their true objective!" Jia Xu pierced through to the core of the matter in a single sentence.

Lin Wanxin tossed aside the towel she had yanked from the old matriarch's mouth, listening to her grating, furious curses with an enigmatic smile playing on her lips.

She was eating her meal just as before, unhurried, elegant, and serene, yet there was an inevitable mechanical quality to her movements, as if she were merely repeating a habit ingrained long ago.

Director Wang was nothing but an impulsive, reckless pig; getting someone of his stripe to behave obediently would be no simple feat.

When he was with them, Ye Yun had also urged them to return to the mortal world with him, but they had refused on various pretexts, especially Heya and Lan Que, who had already completely immersed themselves in the study of the various technologies Ye Yun had brought back from the Avengers.
