After Su Changfeng became angry, no one dared to refute him anymore.
Even Ling Zhan obediently shut up. Everyone immediately returned to their rooms to prepare.
Eight minutes later.
Everyone gathered in the courtyard once again.
This time, however, everyone was already dressed in full gear and had their weapons put away, exuding a solemn and menacing aura.
"Let's go to the city gate and meet up with the people from the Thor Group."
After saying a few words in a deep voice, Su Changfeng was the first to leave the courtyard.
The others followed one by one.
No one spoke a word along the way.
Lin Xuan could feel the oppressive, heavy atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe.
The First Army's garrison was actually located not far from the city gate.
The Blade Camp was located right next to the city gate.
In just a few minutes, the group of sixteen people had arrived at the Shanhaiguan city gate.
The city gates were tightly closed and heavily guarded.
Most importantly, the entire Shanhaiguan Pass is actually shrouded in a massive magic array, with invisible protective energy filling the heavens and earth.
This separated Shanhaiguan from the area outside the pass.
Above the dark city gate, specks of mottled blood appeared.
It exudes an ancient and weathered atmosphere.
It has stood here for countless years.
Lin Xuan stared at the city gate before him, his eyes suddenly gleaming.
Beyond this city gate lies the vast world beyond Shanhaiguan, a place teeming with ferocious beasts, teeming with evil spirits, and fraught with danger at every turn.
However, for him, it was definitely a treasure trove.
"Su Changfeng, you're too late."
They had just reached the city gate when a cold and gloomy voice rang out.
A tall, thin middle-aged man wearing a light blue combat uniform and with eyes like a venomous snake was looking at all the members of the 23rd team.
His eyes were sinister, which made people very uncomfortable.
These must be people from the Thor Group. Beside this tall, thin middle-aged man are nineteen martial artists dressed in uniform combat gear.
Each one exuded a fierce and murderous aura, their blood and energy boiling.
They are clearly all quite strong.
They are the elite of the elite, no less so than the members of Team Twenty-Three.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
He glanced at the tall, thin middle-aged man without making a sound. There was something strange about this man, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
One could only feel a growing sense of vigilance.
"We were given eight o'clock sharp, and there are still three minutes to go..."
Su Changfeng said coldly, "Wang Ke, I really didn't expect you to have joined the Thor Group."
"Hmph, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. The treatment I receive from the Thor Group is beyond your imagination." Wang Ke sneered, his gaze sweeping over all the members of Team Twenty-Three.
Then he said coldly, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off!"
Without waiting for Su Changfeng's reply, he said this.
He led the rest of the Thor Group out of the city gate.
Everyone in Team Twenty-Three frowned immediately, feeling displeased.
However, he didn't say much more.
At this point, there was no turning back.
Immediately afterwards, the group followed the people from Raytheon Group and walked out of Shanhaiguan.
Outside the city gate.
Someone has already prepared the mount.
Beyond Shanhaiguan Pass lies a vast territory where the rules of heaven and earth are more complete. However, due to certain reasons, these rules are distorted, rendering most high-tech products unusable.
The aircraft naturally became mere decorations.
When people travel, they usually ride horses.
This is a ferocious beast that resembles a warhorse, has a single horn on its head, and four hooves like a lion.
Lion and horse.
There are high-ranking ferocious beasts of soldier level.
His strength is comparable to the third stage of the physical body, the Qi Refining stage.
However, its speed is extremely fast, far exceeding that of experts in the Bitter Sea Realm, and even comparable to those in the Life Spring Realm.
Such mounts are available for sale in Shanhaiguan, and a single one can fetch a million.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.
The Thor Group is indeed very wealthy and powerful.
Thirty-six lions and horses, that's thirty-six million, just casually taken out like that.
"Damn it, the Thor Group is really a big spender. Such a lion horse is priceless and unavailable. You can't buy it even if you want to."
But they produced thirty-six horses in one go.
The group rode on lion-horses, heading straight for the horizon.
Lin Xuan heard Ling Zhan muttering to himself and smiled, asking, "Vice Captain, this time, we should be considered as having been commissioned by the Thunder God Group, right?"
Is there any compensation?
"Reward? Heh...you're overthinking it."
Ling Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "This thing has nothing to do with us. Even if the Thunder God Group wants to pay compensation, it will go to those big shots at the top."
We won't get a single penny.
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
No wonder everyone in Team Twenty-Three was unhappy and resentful; this is the root of the problem!
You want the horse to run fast, but you don't feed it grass.
It would be strange if they didn't complain.
"Isn't it shocking...?"
Ling Zhan glanced at Lin Xuan, chuckled coldly, and said, "This is basic procedure. In the eyes of those above, we who have entered the First Army are nothing special."
They're all dead people; it's our honor to become their cannon fodder.
Haha, how pathetic!
The First Army was once the elite force that protected our Great Xia.
Now, however, it has become a knife used by those in power to eliminate dissidents and act recklessly. Just wait, sooner or later they will turn against you.
"Shut up, Ling Zhan... If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll cut you down with one stroke."
Su Changfeng glared at Ling Zhan and said coldly, "There have indeed been problems in the military in recent years, but your thinking is too extreme."
