The next morning.
Li Tianyi sat up in bed with a bitter face and muttered, "Wanruo is really something, she has to control everything!"
"Big sister is doing this for your own good!" Nalan Piaoxu quickly put on her clothes. "Brother Tian, although it's your own body, have you ever thought about what will happen to us dozen or so sisters if something really happens to it?"
The sudden shock left Li Tianyi stunned on the spot.
After a long while, Li Tianyi finally came to his senses and said, "Piaoxu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my body from now on and I will never let you worry again."
“I believe you!” Nalan Piaoxu smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Ding! The Crimson Gold Treasure Chest has been successfully opened. You have obtained: three tanks, fifty armor-piercing shells, five electromagnetic charging cannons, a medium-sized power plant, a solar power plant, and double the quality of your married life."
Just after Li Tianyi was restrained by Su Wanruo, the system sent him this thing, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Suddenly, a strange power surged into his body, flowing rapidly to his limbs and bones, and his physique was rapidly enhanced.
It was completely stable in less than twenty seconds.
Thinking of Su Wanruo, a wicked smile crept across his lips, and an evil thought arose in his mind: "Wanruo, just wait and see how I deal with you tonight!"
In high spirits, he strode around with an air of nonchalance, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.
Nalan Piaoxu was unwell and couldn't keep up at all, pouting as she glared at his retreating figure...
Suddenly, the search and rescue team members received an emergency call from Eagle's Nest, and everyone immediately rushed to the communications room.
"What's going on?" Li Tianyi frowned slightly.
Quan Shengli quickly typed in commands, the screen flashed continuously, and finally settled on Qingzhen, "This is the live footage just transmitted by the Second Brigade!"
The scene is filled with high-level cannibals, and there are practically no level zero monsters.
As the camera zooms out, rotting and skinned corpses are everywhere.
"The Second Brigade didn't just send us some footage, did they?" Li Tianyi frowned, resting his chin on his hand. "What else did they say?"
Wang Xueer pressed the record button.
"The situation in Qingzhen is extremely serious. It is only 66 kilometers away from the Dafeng Mountain base. Once the monsters evolve again, they may launch a fierce attack on you!"
The brigade headquarters has decided to dispatch two companies to assist you in the mopping-up operation!
Li Tianyi didn't speak, but turned to Luo Shan, "Brother, make a private call to Commander Long!"
Luo Shan looked solemn. He dialed the phone, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then handed the phone to Li Tianyi.
"Commander Long, I suggest we cancel the deployment of troops to Qingzhen."
"Why?" Long Zhan frowned slightly.
"First, the monsters in Qingzhen are no longer something that ordinary soldiers can handle."
Second, by transferring two companies and adding the artillery company you gave us, you will have one less battalion of defensive forces, which will greatly reduce your deterrent power and make it easier for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of you!
Third, you are more than 220 kilometers away from Qingzhen. By the time you arrive, the monsters will probably have already leveled up.
Fourthly, traces of monsters have recently appeared at sea, making your defensive duties even more demanding!
Long Zhan had previously admired Li Tianyi, but after hearing his analysis, he was completely convinced and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You're good, kid! But if we don't send troops, can Dafeng Mountain take over Qingzhen?"
"There shouldn't be any major problems!" Li Tianyi dared not make any boasts.
"Alright, I wish you every success!"
"Thanks!"
After hanging up the phone, a search and rescue team was immediately assembled.
"This mission is extremely difficult. Everyone must be fully prepared. Dismissed! We'll depart in half an hour!" Li Tianyi turned and left.
Nalan Piaoxu tugged at his sleeve, "I want to participate too!"
“You’re not feeling well, so stay at base camp.” Li Tianyi looked at Quan Shengli. “If you can’t get in touch with us, ask Piaoxu for her opinion!”
"Okay, Brother Tian!"
Quan Shengli stayed alone in the telecommunications room, extremely busy.
Li Tianyi carefully noted this matter down.
Half an hour later.
The search and rescue team announced that they were going to Gaoyang Town to search for supplies.
After leaving the shelter, immediately turn off the radio and head west.
Qingzhen is less than 60 kilometers from Dafeng Mountain. At their marching speed, they can reach it in five hours at most.
Li Tianyi, however, ordered them to stop and rest for half an hour after marching for an hour.
The crowd was somewhat puzzled.
Luo Shan understood what he meant and explained, "We're not facing humans, but omnipresent monsters. How can we not be at full strength!"
"clear!"
At noon, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Qingzhen.
“There are many monsters nearby. Proceed in battle formation to search.” Li Tianyi turned around. “Xuelian, while scouting, you must not leave our sight.”
Isabelle nodded and began searching ahead.
Gestures: three o'clock, seven o'clock, eleven o'clock, with a few scattered monsters.
Gesture: Throat smear.
Luo Shan and Luo Ying, working together with Isabella, quickly dealt with the wandering monsters.
"Medicine King, administer the expulsion powder to everyone!" Li Tianyi commanded.
This item was developed by Su Wanruo after obtaining the lifelong insights of Tibetan physician Mirzati. It is designed to expel any monster below level two.
With this, the rescue team can deal with monsters that are two levels higher than them.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the west gate of Qingzhen.
The city walls had long since collapsed, and the surrounding area was filled with broken eaves and ruins, bloodstains, rotting corpses, maggots, and flies.
"How disgusting!" Qin Yufei was still a little uncomfortable.
"Fengxianhua, you need to adapt as soon as possible. The upcoming battles will be ten times more terrifying than this!" Su Wanruo had completely switched into the role of the eldest sister.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Medicine King!"
Passing through the west gate, we arrived at the main street, where two skinners were wandering around.
Luo Shan drew his Giant Sword and smiled at Xiao Man, "Peony, let's have a contest!"
"OK!"
Both were very fast, almost at the same speed.
As soon as Xiaoman approached the skinner, the Fish Intestine Sword pierced out from a tricky angle, aiming straight for its heart.
At the same time, Luo Shan gripped his sword with both hands and slashed straight at the skinner's chest.
Sizzle, sizzle!
Waaah...
Both skinners were severely injured and turned to flee.
Where are you going?
Did I let you leave?
They were so fast that they left afterimages; with a swift movement of their swords, the two skinners fell to the ground simultaneously.
"Haha, a draw, a draw!" Xiaoman laughed.
Luo Shan frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the skinner's wounds. "Peony wins!"
Upon hearing this, only Li Tianyi nodded slightly, while the others looked completely bewildered.
"Everyone, look at Peony's left hand!"
Only then did everyone realize that she had never used her left hand since the start of the battle; if she had used both hands, she could have killed the skinner on the first try.
"I accept defeat wholeheartedly!" Luo Shan laughed heartily, casting an admiring glance his way.
"Alpha Wolf, your Splitting Light Sword Technique is only at the beginner level. Given time, you will definitely be no worse than me!" Xiaoman said earnestly.
Luo Shan laughed again, "With so many practice targets here, how could I not master the true essence of swordsmanship?"
Before anyone could answer, he dragged the Giant Sword and charged into the distance...
