"Director Pang...?"
Linna murmured.
"Then, what about Elder Ji?"
"Elder Ji... Oh, you mean Elder Ji, the supreme leader of our Night Watch, right?"
"right."
"I don't know." Tang Hongshan shook his head: "After the war started, a lot of news was blocked. Nobody knows what happened in the capital. Some people say that Elder Ji disappeared not long after the Demon Clan invaded."
“Missing…” Lin Nai frowned: “What about Marshal Sun? The supreme commander of the dimensional army.”
"Same here, they've also disappeared." Tang Hongshan said, "They disappeared as soon as the war started, so it's said that Zhou Lao has been commanding the dimensional army in the capital all along."
Linnaeus's eyebrows gradually furrowed.
He originally wanted to ask Zheng Longhai as well.
But upon reflection, Zheng Longhai wasn't a well-known public figure like Ji Lao and Sun Shuai.
As the chief of the Dark Moon, his name is not known to the general public.
"What about Mu Xun, Chu Men, Hua Lingze, Bai Shou, and the others?"
Lin Nai asked, "Are you referring to those contestants from the same year as me in the National Freshman Competition?"
“Oh, them? I remember them,” Tang Hongshan said. “They didn’t rebel; instead, they stayed with the government and worked under Elder Zhou. I reckon they were basically all controlled by the cursed seal.”
"..." Lin Nai remained silent for a while.
"Understood......"
Old Zhang slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said, "In short, the world situation is completely different now than it was back then."
Linnaeus looked ahead at the road: "Where are we going now?"
“Of course we’re going to our rebels’ secret sanctuary,” Old Zhang said. “Camp 9.”
Linna: "What about numbers 1-8?"
“Yes,” Old Zhang said. “Originally there were nine, but Camp 5 and Camp 7 have been taken down by the authorities, so now there are only seven left.”
Linnaeus didn't say anything more.
The journey was silent...
The off-road vehicle continued driving for a while, and Jiang Zhou said, "Team Leader Tang, we're almost there. The barrier is just ahead."
"Hmm..." Tang Hongshan fell asleep leaning back in the seat.
The dark circles under his eyes were much more pronounced than when Linnai saw him three years ago.
It seems he hasn't had much rest lately.
"Alright, you're finally back." Tang Hongshan yawned, then patted Lin Nai on the shoulder: "Lin Nai, it's great that you're alive. Director Pang and A Guang will be very happy to know."
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then said, "Captain Tang, I actually hope you can keep this a secret."
"Huh?" Tang Hongshan was taken aback: "What secret?"
"The fact that Wan'er and I are still alive."
"Why is that?"
“I still have many things I want to figure out.” Lin Nai narrowed her eyes. “It might be much easier if I don’t reveal my identity.”
"This..." Tang Hongshan was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright then, I can help you keep it a secret, but..."
As he spoke, Tang Hongshan glanced at Jiang Zhou in the passenger seat.
Jiang Zhou glanced in the rearview mirror and, seeing Tang Hongshan's expression, seemed to understand what Captain Tang meant...
Tang Hongshan, Lao Zhang, and Lin Yuxi are all old teammates, so they naturally stand on Lin Nai's side.
But ginger porridge is from the Taoist school.
If her master, Cha Yizhou, asks her about what happened today when she gets back, will she answer truthfully?
Jiang Zhou clenched her fists slightly on her lap and suddenly said, "You...don't worry, I'll keep it a secret and won't tell my master..."
"Really?" Lin Nai raised an eyebrow.
Clearly, he didn't trust them.
Jiang Zhou pursed her lips: "I owe you a favor from when we were on a mission together in Yecheng."
"Consider this a return payment to you."
"But only this once! I've never hidden anything from my master before..."
Lin Nai paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something more.
But then, his eyes suddenly flashed.
Linnai suddenly sensed three powerful streams of soul energy approaching within his mental consciousness...
Linnaeus immediately calmed down and listened attentively.
"Pat-pat-pat-pat—"
It was indeed the footsteps of three people, quite varied, and each of them was at least level 20!
These three are moving very fast and will catch up with them soon!
Lin Yuxi noticed something was off about Lin Nai's expression and asked in confusion, "Lin Nai, what's wrong?"
Linna said in a deep voice, "We are being tracked. Enemies are following us."
The people inside the car were astonished: "What?!"
Jiang Zhou looked out the car window at the back of the car.
An endless wilderness...
There wasn't a soul in sight.
Jiang Zhou looked bewildered: "I don't see anyone..."
"By the time you see them, they will already be standing in front of you."
After saying that, Lin Nai made a decision without hesitation and stretched out his hand: "Old Zhang, lend me your knife."
"Huh?" Old Zhang turned his head in confusion.
Lin Nai: "These guys are strong. You guys retreat first. I'll stay behind to cover your retreat and deal with them."
Tang Hongshan turned his head: "Huh? I remember, wasn't my knife with you?"
Lin Nai: "Oh, I interrupted him just now in Shanhai City."
Tang Hongshan: "..."
