the next day...
Inside the school.
The school was rather quiet today, naturally because the Holy City was distributing supplies, and all the teachers had gone to line up. Some of the older children also had to help with household chores and went with their parents to get the supplies, so only the younger children were left.
Sun Muchen was also there, because Chen Bihua had already arranged for someone to collect the share for the brother and sister.
At this moment, Wang Lan was on the first floor, and Chen Bihua was also there.
The two looked at the more than twenty strong men standing in front of them. Wang Lan held a list in his hand, which contained the personal information of these strong men. Chen Bihua stood to the side with her head down, as if she was about to fall asleep.
After a moment, Wang Lan said, "Alright, if the records here are accurate, let's distribute them this way!"
Chen Bihua, who was feeling drowsy, immediately perked up and raised her head.
Wang Lan said, "Now I will call roll. Those whose names are called, please come forward and stand in a row."
He ultimately couldn't resist Sun Muchen's persistent pleading and contacted Chen Bihua early in the morning to help select the people who would accompany him on this trip.
"He Xiuhua!"
"Lu Renjia!"
"Gu Li!"
"Ding Taishun!"
"Zhao Ping'an!"
"Zhang Xiwang!"
......
Wang Lan called out names at a leisurely pace, and with each name that was called, the person being called would look delighted and then step forward. This continued until the roll call ended, with those who were not called looking regretful and shaking their heads repeatedly.
Chen Bihua counted the number of people, and including Wang Lan, it was exactly a group of seven.
The remaining people left with sighs.
These seven individuals can be considered the best in Hope Village. Among them are those proficient in firearms, those skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and those with quick reflexes. With Wang Lan as the captain of the group, Chen Bihua believes that if these seven cooperate properly, they can unleash astonishing combat power.
The six selected individuals were also highly motivated. On one hand, with a strong figure like Wang Lan in charge, their chances of survival would greatly increase. On the other hand, the Holy City would provide exceptionally generous rewards for each exploration mission.
From this perspective, this mission can definitely be considered a profitable deal.
After Chen Bihua explained some things, these people left happily.
Wang Lan nodded to Chen Bihua, then turned and left with Sun Muchen.
All the supplies distributed by the Holy City had been delivered to Wang Lan's home. When the two returned home, they saw meat and fresh water piled up to the side.
Wang Lan walked over first, staring at the lump of meat for a long time, and then said, "Mu Chen, where do you think this meat in the Holy City comes from?"
Sun Muchen shook his head and said frankly, "I don't know, but it seems that the Holy City has a continuous supply of meat, otherwise it wouldn't be able to support the expenses of this village."
Wang Lan nodded and asked, "Have you ever eaten this meat before?"
Sun Muchen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No, I haven't eaten here since I arrived. It's not for any other reason, it's just that the meat here, although it's quite fresh, always feels... weird."
“That makes sense,” Wang Lan nodded, picked up the Vajra Umbrella and used it to pick up the meat, then said, “So actually I’ve never eaten this kind of meat before, I only eat things like fish, so I don’t need this piece of meat.”
After saying that, Wang Lan picked up the meat and walked out the door, then suddenly threw the meat out.
Propelled by this immense force, it's unclear where the lump of meat ended up flying, but it vanished from sight.
For the remaining few days, all that remained was to train and prepare for the trip.
During this time, Lin Han came to see Wang Lan several more times, but each time he returned empty-handed. However, Wang Lan admired his spirit of never giving up despite repeated failures.
Gradually, Wang Lan's impression of Lin Han also changed.
I think he can be considered a reasonably trustworthy person.
On this day, the sound of bugles rang out at the entrance of the village.
The villagers of Hope Village were bidding farewell to the seven warriors and the holy soldiers of the Holy City.
now...
Wang Lan's home.
Sun Muchen and Lin Han are both here.
Wang Lan left the Vajra Umbrella at home. This time, he only asked Chen Bihua for a pistol and fifteen bullets. The Holy City would provide food and water.
The reason for not taking any weapons was, of course, to leave them for Sun Muchen to use for self-defense.
So before setting off, Wang Lan made a special trip to check the mechanisms on the longbow and the buttons on the quiver.
Lin Han was stunned when he saw that the black longbow could actually turn into a small black box.
Wang Lan tried a few more times before giving up and turning to Lin Han, saying, "Hey, that kid!"
"Hmm?" Lin Han turned to look at Wang Lan: "What's wrong?"
Wang Lan said, "I may not be back for several days this time. In the meantime, I have something to tell you."
Wang Lan pointed to the Vajra Umbrella and then to the longbow, saying, "Make sure to remind Sun Muchen that he must carry his quiver and Vajra Umbrella with him to class every day, and also keep the longbow handy. No one is allowed to be left out."
Lin Han nodded emphatically and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep Mu Chen in mind. Also, I will protect Mu Chen while you are away!"
“Yes,” Wang Lan said, as if she had thought of something, “You made sure to tell Mu Chen that if anything happens, he will definitely be able to protect you from death.”
