Chapter 56 Beautiful Luminous Years

Jiang Chaozhou looked like a child who had done something wrong. He anxiously rubbed the hem of his clothes between both hands, while the hair on his forehead, damp with sweat, hung down in limp strands.

He gripped Xu Zhixing’s hand tightly, as though trying to pass his resolve through his palm. His knuckles had turned faintly white with the force of his grip, his lips were pressed into a thin line, and his eyes were filled with conflict and anguish.

“Auntie, I... I’ll leave right now. I’ll disappear at once and won’t cause you or Zhixing the slightest trouble.”

Jiang Chaozhou.

However, a sudden gust of wind from behind swept away the joy that had just risen in Chen Shi’s heart.

Looking at Mu Zhiqing’s indignant face, Chen Shi shook his head. It seemed this misunderstanding could never be explained clearly.

Liu Ruyan instinctively accepted the communication code. Her face stiffened for a moment before a trace of bashfulness quietly surfaced.

“Phew! That was close! We finally made it out!” Only after Biqier emerged from the mine did he let out a sigh of relief.

With a sweep of his horsetail whisk, he exuded an imposing dignity without even showing anger. It had to be said that although this Celestial Master Zhang was not particularly capable, his acting was quite convincing.

He had originally planned to gather resources on Bai Ran Star for a while, then leave once the several-month deadline had arrived.

With a somersault, Liu Xinshen sprang up from the ground. The amiable expression on his face was gone, replaced by a gloomy cast, and cold glints flashed whenever his eyelids lifted and fell.

Immediately afterward, a ten-petaled flower emitting a faint blue radiance suddenly appeared and vanished within the void.

After considering all this, the adventurer group’s leader stopped hesitating and handed the item to Ye Chen without the slightest reluctance.

In truth, Chen Shi still had some doubts about the purpose behind establishing the Shura Army and its specific duties. After all, today was the first time he had truly entered the inner workings of the Shura Army.

“At ten o’clock in the morning three days from now, send me your coordinates. I’ll come pick you up then.” Lin Huang placed all the food and water Lin Xin had handed over into his storage space.

A TP took only four seconds—about as long as brewing a cup of tea. The five players from both sides gathered in the bottom lane.

Hangzhou No. 4 High School, Hangzhou No. 14 High School... One after another, most of the schools in Hangzhou had already arrived. Only one high school remained: Hangzhou Xuejun High School.

Xu Li added, “Therefore, once they find an opportunity like this, they’ll launch an all-out attack against us. They’ll also send in a large number of reinforcements at an accelerated pace.”

The way Wang Lin had just explained things made it seem as though he intended to explain everything that could possibly be explained, as if he were afraid Wu Bin might ask one more question and create trouble for him.

Without a word, Lin Hao took the armor from his storage ring, bit his finger open, and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

Although Lin Huang could enter these ruins and, through Haotian’s memories, had a general understanding of their condition, his limited strength prevented him from exploring them in depth.

Ahem, constantly refusing people was not very nice, was it? Besides, he was only going up for a cup of tea.

By the time I returned home, it was completely dark. I sat blankly on the balcony, gazing at the bright crescent moon.

Before leaving, Li Er instructed Er Lengzi to avoid attacking fortified positions. He had nearly finished clearing out the towns and villages, but one place could not be avoided. Nantong lay along the vital transportation route connecting Zhejiang and Jiangsu, so it had to be taken. According to reconnaissance reports, one regiment of Japanese troops and one division of puppet troops were stationed there.

“Yue’er?” Mo Ran was startled and hurriedly looked into those luminous eyes. Yet within them, all he saw was sorrow shrouded in mist. He could not see their depths at all.

The several of us made our way to the infirmary and were treated under the astonished gaze of the doctor. Fatty, Brother Zheng, and I had suffered the most serious injuries. Our shoulders had been struck so brutally with steel rods that cracks had formed in them, and the pain was unbearable. When the doctor said they would have to be stitched up with a needle, I was nearly frightened into fainting.

“Damn it.” Jiu Zi Mingchen cursed under his breath, hurriedly releasing Leng Yue as he concentrated on dealing with the corpse-man before him, which possessed the speed of light.
