Shennongjia, the edge of the primary to intermediate level area.

Isabelle suddenly clenched her fist. "Stop moving!"

His nose twitched, and the nearby scents rushed through it. His brows furrowed more and more. "I smelled an extremely dangerous scent that made me very uneasy."

Li Tianyi nodded emphatically, "Although I can't smell the danger, I'm just as agitated."

I quickly edited a message and sent it back to Dafeng Mountain.

Upon receiving the message, Wang Xueer immediately relayed it to Number Three. The higher-ups took the matter very seriously and mobilized two army groups.

Both the Wolf Army and the Hunan Army are setting off, heading towards the outskirts of Shennongjia.

Meanwhile, nearby garrisons, under the command of Dafeng Mountain, were also urgently repairing defensive fortifications...

An hour later.

As Li Tianyi and Isabelle arrived outside the intermediate zone, the sense of crisis intensified, making them feel uneasy.

Fortunately, with the help of the most powerful calming mantra, the two were able to find peace of mind.

"We can't go any deeper!"

"We haven't obtained any useful intelligence yet, we absolutely cannot go back empty-handed!"

Isabelle's gaze was extremely determined as she headed towards the place that made her most uneasy.

After passing through a dense forest, there was a small hill ahead.

Upon arriving at the top, Isabelle was so shocked by what she saw that she gaped open and remained stunned for a long time.

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Tian!"

Li Tianyi shuddered and looked in the direction she pointed. Below him were many strange buildings, and nearby were many enormous, blood-red orcs digging fortifications.

Judging from the nearby mounds of earth, the trenches were at least three meters deep.

"Record it!"

"yes!"

Isabelle carefully turned on the recording function, and the camera slowly moved towards the distance.

Less than half a minute later, a commotion broke out below.

"Oh no, we've been discovered! Let's get out of here!" Li Tianyi grabbed her.

The two moved very quickly and reached the bottom of the hillside in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh! Roar!

The roars of beasts shook the heavens, and a tall, evil orc appeared in their field of vision, his eyes greedy, occasionally licking his lips.

"Delicious food, delicious food!"

Several evil orcs were drooling and waving their deformed weapons.

As they drew closer, Li Tianyi suddenly turned around and unleashed a sharp slash of his blade.

The blade struck the evil orc's weapon with a clang.

He shook his head, unharmed, and charged forward with a strange cry.

Although that attack only used six-tenths of its power, even a level four expert in Origin Force would not be able to block it easily. Yet this orc blocked it with a casual wave of his hand, which shows how powerful they are.

Li Tianyi frowned and quickened his pace of escape.

"I refuse to believe I can't hurt him!" Isabelle drew her bow and fired nine arrows in quick succession.

The first three arrows were knocked away by the evil orc, and the fourth arrow pierced through the edge of the weapon and went straight into his chest.

Immediately afterwards, another arrow struck the same spot, piercing through the orc's body.

He ripped the arrows off his body and roared, "You mere blood food dares to hurt me? You're courting death!"

He swung the deformed weapon with all his might, and a rainbow-like blade of light fell rapidly.

Upon touching the nearby trees, the large tree instantly split in two, and the small stones were also cut evenly.

"Holy crap, what a powerful orc!"

"Hurry up and get out of here! More orcs are coming!"

Li Tianyi walked at the back of the group, pulled out a laser weapon and attacked. The orc didn't even try to block it, letting it hit him.

When Mars disappeared, apart from having a black spot on their bodies, they weren't even scratched.

"What the hell are these things?"

Frustrated, Li Tianyi pulled out an even stronger weapon to attack, and this time he finally broke through their defenses, injuring the three orcs to varying degrees.

Woo, woo!

A strange roar came from behind them. The orc glared at them menacingly and turned to leave.

The two dared not stop and sped away.

After more than ten minutes, I was finally relieved to find that the orcs had not come after me.

"These damn things are terrifying!" Li Tianyi took a deep breath of cold air. "The weapons of the ancient Shu people can't hurt them at all. Fortunately, the weapons that Qing'er developed can hurt them."

Isabelle suddenly thought of something, "Immediately notify all the garrison troops that are coming. The first line of defense must be equipped with a firearm produced by the Dafengshan Laboratory."

"Thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise things would have gone wrong!"

The call was connected quickly, but no one answered for a long time.

"What are they doing? Why aren't they answering the phone!" Li Tianyi was getting more and more irritated.

Ten seconds later, someone finally answered the phone.

"Who are you?" a young girl's voice asked.

Li Tianyi was going crazy. When did the Dafengshan Laboratory have a child? Why didn't he know?

With patience, she tried to soften her voice as much as possible, "Little sister, let Sima Qing'er answer the phone."

"Looking for my master?" Mo Sanmei, Mo Xiao, eight years old, an orphan. When Sima Qing'er was out, she accidentally discovered that Mo Sanmei had extremely profound insights into supernova weapons, so she took her as her apprentice.

"Okay, let her take it." Li Tianyi took several deep breaths of cold air before his anger subsided.

Mo Xiao pouted, a little angry, "Master has been too tired lately and just fell asleep. Don't bother me unless it's something important."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Fuck you!" Li Tianyi was furious and immediately called Long Weiguo to explain the situation.

"You're a real piece of shit!"

No matter how unhappy Li Tianyi was about his father-in-law scolding him, he didn't dare to say anything and just listened quietly.

"Sima Qing'er and Jia Qingxue have been working at high intensity for nearly two months to deal with the ancient Shu people." Long Weiguo was furious. "You son of a bitch, why didn't you come to the lab to check on them? If it weren't for Doctor Su's timely arrival, the two of them would definitely have suffered serious aftereffects."

"Huh?" Li Tianyi was panicked. "How is it now?"

"Of course I'm fine!" Long Weiguo was furious. "You son of a bitch, send me your coordinates right now, or I'll slap your face until it's a pig's head!"

"Dad, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. It's not good for your health!" Li Tianyi touched his cheek, feeling guilty.

A minute later, Long Weiguo finally calmed down. "Speak, what do you want with them?"

Li Tian didn't want to tell him, but he couldn't contact anyone else in the lab, so he had no choice but to tell him.

"What? Evil orcs?" Long Weiguo's eyes widened. "Are you giving me a lecture on Warcraft? Evil orcs, invulnerable to swords and spears?"

“But all of this is true!” Li Tianyi sighed helplessly. “Right now, only the weapons developed by the Dafeng Mountain Experimental Base can harm them. Before they launch a large-scale attack on us, we must arm ourselves.”

"I understand!" Long Weiguo hung up the phone, his face full of bitterness, pacing back and forth. "This son-in-law of mine, all he knows is to create problems for me. Almost everyone at the Supernova Weapons Research Institute is sick. Who am I supposed to find to research new weapons for you?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Let's try Mo Sanmei!"

The reason he admired her so much was that he had personally witnessed her create an improved version of the laser weapon, which was three times more powerful than the original gun.

Everyone present was amazed, but she said, "This is nothing. As long as there is enough energy, I can create weapons that are twenty or even a hundred times more powerful!"

Everyone thought it was just a child bragging at the time, but now, looking back, they realize they were the ones who were short-sighted.

Long Weiguo quickly found her and explained his purpose.

"My master doesn't allow me to touch anything in the lab without permission. You should find someone else!" Mo Xiao walked away without looking back.

"You're so young, but you have quite the temper." Long Weiguo grabbed her and said seriously, "Mo Sanmei, this matter concerns the safety of the entire Dragon Kingdom. You have to agree whether you like it or not!"

"Old man, let me go!" Mo Xiao struggled, her face full of anger. "If it weren't for Sister Wushuang's sake, I would have slapped you in the face with two big slaps!"

Enraged, Long Weiguo gripped her hands tightly. "You little brat, you think I can't handle you? You want to give me two big slaps? Didn't your parents teach you anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"

Mo Xiao stood there, her eyes reddening, her nose tingling, and she burst into tears.

All the grievances and heartache I had experienced over the years finally erupted, and I cried my heart out.

The crying grew louder and louder, and Long Weiguo completely panicked. He kept saying nice things, but she cried even harder.

The noise was so loud that it quickly alerted the people nearby, who rushed over.

"What's wrong?" Sima Qing'er was the first to arrive, her face pale and her body emaciated, a sight that broke one's heart.

Mo Xiao threw herself into her arms and burst into tears, "Master, I miss my parents so much! Waaah..."

"Good child, don't cry, don't cry!" Sima Qing'er secretly wiped away her tears. "You still have your master, you still have your master!"

The two embraced tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Xiao suddenly pushed Sima Qing'er away, wiped away her tears, and said, "Master, let me help you back to rest. It's all because Third Sister was so thoughtless and made you worry!"

Long Weiguo looked at her, his heart aching. "God, what have you made her go through? She... she's still a child!"

Sima Qing'er's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Child, your master will take good care of you from now on and will never let you suffer any more grievances."

"Yes, Third Sister believes you!" Mo Xiao forced a smile and helped her back to her room.

A dozen minutes later.

Mo Xiao seemed like a completely different person. She came to Long Weiguo's side, bowed deeply, and said, "Grandpa Long, I'm sorry!"

"Girl, it's all Grandpa's fault, don't blame Grandpa!" Long Weiguo stroked her head affectionately, his eyes full of love.

Mo Xiao smiled and even made a funny face.

“My mentor has agreed to let me lead the research!” Mo Xiao paused for a moment, “However, she only allows me to work six hours a day, no more.”

Long Weiguo felt ashamed. In such a large country as Longguo, a child was asked to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Supernova Research Institute. If it weren't for the circumstances, he would never have done it.

"Get some rest today, we'll officially begin tomorrow!"

"No, the dean taught us that if we promise something, we must do our best!" Mo Xiao recalled her time at the orphanage, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. With her hands behind her back, she walked towards the laboratory.

Looking at her slender back, Long Weiguo felt as if his heart was being stabbed repeatedly. He secretly vowed, "No matter what the cost, I will help her get out of her past psychological trauma and give her a happy childhood."
