"Scorpion sent people to massacre our old stronghold!" Li Xinhu gasped, his voice trembling.
"They also left 'presents'!"
He suddenly pulled out a bloody photo from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
In the photo, several broken bodies were piled in the center of the stronghold. They were the young men who had helped Lu Shiyan carry supplies during the previous transaction.
The bodies were dismembered beyond recognition. The scene was horrific.
"Scorpion left a message to let you experience the feeling of losing something important!"
The air around Lu Shiyan seemed to freeze into ice.
Su Wan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously pressed her slightly bulging belly.
There, her most important secret is being nurtured.
The scorpion went crazy and didn't spare any abandoned strongholds.
And they use this method to demonstrate.
It was clearly directed at Lu Shiyan. It was a naked provocation.
…
Soon, Lei Lao Hu convened an internal meeting and announced publicly that half of the command of the defense of Area A of the base, as well as a newly reorganized elite team, would be handed over to Lu Shiyan.
Pan Yong had a clear view of Lei Lao Hu's reliance on him. In the corner of the conference room, the young but calm face looked unpredictable under the light.
He was pleased to see the growing power of Thunder Tiger, and pleased to see the defeat of Scorpion.
But Lu Shiyan was in the limelight, his power was growing, and the feeling of loss and fear grew like vines.
After the meeting, Pan Yong stepped forward and patted Lu Shiyan on the shoulder: "Brother Lu, you are young and promising. The safety of Area A will depend on you in the future."
Lu Shiyan nodded slightly without saying a word.
That calmness made Pan Yong feel that this person was even more unfathomable.
Xiao Han's injuries healed quickly, and in less than half a month, he was full of energy again.
Lu Shiyan directly incorporated him into his own action team, turning him into a sharp knife.
After several actions, Xiao Han's wind-based abilities became more and more sophisticated, and when combined with Lu Shiyan's thunder and fire abilities, their power was astonishing.
He felt that his bottleneck was loosening and he was about to break through to level 4. He was so excited that he walked with the wind: "Wait, wait until I reach the next level, and I can blow up the scorpion's nest with a gust of wind!"
Everything seemed to be getting better, except Su Wan.
Every morning, just after dawn, Lu Shiyan would appear in the backyard of the villa.
Su Wan was half-sleepy when he lifted her up from the bed and started the "compulsory course".
From not knowing how to understand the safety in the beginning to being able to expertly disassemble and assemble a pistol now, Su Wan's progress even surprised himself.
At this moment, she was holding an assault rifle modified by Lu Shiyan. The recoil was much weaker, but her arms were still slightly sore from holding the gun for a long time.
The shaking target fifty meters away was hit by bullets one after another, making dull impact sounds.
Su Wan put down the gun and rubbed his numb shoulders. The strands of hair on his forehead were wet with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
Lu Shiyan's gaze fell on her, calm and without any waves, but it made her dare not relax.
She secretly glanced at her belly. Her originally flat abdomen had become slightly bulging in the past few days.
On the other side of the training ground, Xiao Han stretched his muscles. He was too energetic after his injury. When he saw Su Wan stop, he immediately approached, put one hand on the abandoned oil drum, and whistled: "Good job, Su Wan, your shooting skills, wow, have improved by leaps and bounds! Let's practice more. Next time we attack the scorpion's nest, you suppress it with long-range firepower, and I will attack in close range, how about it?"
Su Wan glanced at him and wiped the sweat off her face unhappily: "You're the only one who talks too much. If you're capable, go practice with Lu Shiyan."
She had been in a bad mood these past few days, as if something was stirring inside her body, and she couldn't muster the energy to deal with Xiao Han's chatter.
"Hey, I'm just happy for you because I see you've made rapid progress!" Xiao Han grinned.
Su Wan didn't respond, but picked up the gun and aimed again.
Lu Shiyan approached at some point, took the rifle from her hand, checked the magazine smoothly, then looked at the target in the distance, raised the gun casually, and hardly aimed.
“Bang!”
The two bullseyes shattered.
Xiao Han stared with wide eyes, smacking his lips: "Perverts are perverts."
Lu Shiyan handed the gun back to Su Wan, his voice still cold: "Your breathing is disordered. This is not how you use a gun. You have to make it an extension of your body."
Su Wan took the gun and held it slightly.
She tried to catch her breath and raised the gun again.
This time, it felt like something was different.
The trigger was pulled and the bullet accurately penetrated the center of the bull's eye.
Xiao Han said "Wow" exaggeratedly: "Not bad, Xiao Su Wan! That shot is really good! It seems that we will have another sharpshooter in our team in the future!"
He winked and said, "When the time comes, Old Lu will be in charge of planning, I will be in charge of charging into battle, and you will be in charge of hitting the target with your sword. Our combination will be invincible!"
Su Wan put down the gun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and panted slightly: "Don't comfort me, it's still a long way to go."
In addition to marksmanship training, she spent most of her time familiarizing herself with and developing her spatial abilities.
She discovered that ever since she had stored all of Scorpion's weapons in her space, the space of the jade pendant had been vaguely agitated, no longer the simple, vague sensation she had before. Today, this feeling was particularly strong.
She tried, concentrating all her mental energy, trying to "look" into the space again.
This time, it was no longer an immersion and perception of consciousness, but a sudden, irresistible strong suction force that came from between her eyebrows, pulling her entire consciousness, and even her body, inward!
The dizzy feeling only lasted for a moment.
The next second, her feet touched solid ground.
Su Wan was completely stunned.
She looked around in disbelief. It was the same empty field, with piles of supplies, the cold metallic luster of the guns, and the familiar colors of the food packaging. Everything here was exactly the same as what she had seen before when she entered with her "consciousness".
The only difference was that she could clearly smell a faint, fresh scent in the air, similar to the fresh smell of soil after rain. Although this scent was very thin, it was extremely real.
She really came in!
Su Wan almost held her breath, slowly stretched out her hand, and carefully touched the box of compressed biscuits closest to her.
The rough surface of the cardboard box and the cold metal strapping were so clear and even slightly chilly that she could even feel the actual weight of the box. She tried to lift it, but it didn't move at all. It seemed that she still had to rely on her own strength and couldn't move things around as she wished.
This discovery made her feel a little relieved. At least this space was not so fantastic that it was completely detached from reality.
Great! This is simply... a completely safe fortress!
She suppressed her inner ecstasy and began to pace in the space, carefully observing every detail. The size of the space did not seem to change significantly, it was still such a large open space, and the edge was still in a fuzzy chaotic state, unable to explore its boundaries.
She tried to tidy up the few pieces of clothing scattered on the floor, folded them, and placed them neatly on an empty wooden box. When doing these actions, she did not feel any consumption of her supernatural power, as if she was tidying up her room outside.
She even began to plan in her mind with great interest: this area is used to store food, that area is specifically for weapons, and medicines need to be isolated separately to ensure dryness and safety... It would be great if a comfortable bed could be brought in, but it seemed too extravagant to think about it now.
Just as she was completely immersed in this new and unprecedented sense of control, a subtle feeling of rejection began to surge from all directions.
It was faint at first, then gradually became clearer.
The fresh air in the space seemed to be becoming thinner little by little.
Su Wan's heart trembled. What was that feeling?
