As the night deepened, the team from Qinglong Base gathered outside the gate of Xuanwu Base.

Zhang Lingchuan stood at the front, the enthusiastic smile on his face had long since faded, replaced by a cold and gloomy look.

"Go back to base." He said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

The subordinates nodded in agreement, but each of them had a look of repression on their faces.

They packed their luggage silently, not daring to look up at Zhang Lingchuan's sharp eyes.

When the team reached a deserted area, Zhang Lingchuan spoke:

"Have you checked everything?"

"What's the situation at the Xuanwu base?"

An accompanying subordinate replied in a low voice:

"The technology at Xuanwu Base is much more advanced than we expected. The city is well-defended and well-stocked with supplies... They even awakened rivers and forests."

Another person continued: "But they don't seem to be too aggressive. They are somewhat wary of the outside world, but they have no intention of expanding."

Zhang Lingchuan sneered and looked towards the distant Xuanwu Base with a gloomy look: "No expansion? They don't have the opportunity."

"Their food is extremely rich. In addition to the three-dimensional planting at the base, some of it comes from... the gifts from the Savior!"

Another person said cautiously, looking at Zhang Lingchuan.

These days, life at the Xuanwu Base is like being in heaven.

Those foods are so delicious!

Full of energy!

If the savior can give the Xuanwu base, can he...

Zhang Lingchuan smiled sarcastically.

"Savior? Their savior cannot cross the river of time, but the gods we believe in are extremely powerful!"

"Do you dare to betray the gods?"

My subordinates were silent as a cicada in fear.

He turned around slowly, his eyes swept over his subordinates one by one, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Don't be in a hurry. Some things will naturally be useful to us."

"No matter how advanced their technology is, it is not as powerful as the gods."

His tone was low and cold, and there was a strange sense of faith in his words.

"The power of the other world is enough to crush everything."

The subordinates looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.

Zhang Lingchuan waved his hands, his tone showing impatience:

"Let's go back to base. Time will tell who will be the final winner."

When we returned to Qinglong Base, it was already late at night, but the streets were still bustling.

People's clothes were still simple, but their expressions revealed an indescribable depression.

Zhang Lingchuan walked on the street with a sneer on his face.

Wherever his figure went, passers-by retreated, some lowered their heads, avoided his gaze, and left in a hurry.

Some people even had deep fear and disgust in their eyes.

"These people are really disappointing." Zhang Lingchuan snorted coldly and said casually, "It's better to be dead than alive."

The subordinate asked in a low voice: "City Lord Zhang, are these people... somewhat dissatisfied?"

Zhang Lingchuan glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes: "Dissatisfied? They dare not."

He stopped and looked coldly at the people passing by in the street, his tone full of disdain:

"These people will kneel down obediently when they see a spirit. So what if they don't show respect? Respect can't buy food, but fear can make them obedient."

"But if they remain afraid..." the subordinate hesitated.

Zhang Lingchuan interrupted sharply, "That's enough! They are just ants, what qualifications do they have to think too much?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled coldly and continued walking forward.

The outskirts of Qinglong Base.

In a desolate wasteland, several monsters are besieging an A-level power mutant.

The man's clothes were tattered, his face was covered in dirt, and he kept backing away with the child in his arms.

There were already several dead bodies lying on the ground.

They originally came here to hunt low-level alien beasts and dig out their cores to exchange for food.

I didn't expect to encounter this level 5 tusk boar.

The team members were killed.

They were getting closer and closer, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes and long fangs flashing cold light.

Most likely, they will die here.

He is not afraid of death.

But his son is still young.

roar!

The tusk boar roared, and its bristles shot out like swords.

Just when the man was about to despair, a figure jumped out from the wasteland.

"Don't be afraid!"

Shu Weng's voice was clear and firm.

As he waved his hand, a beam of fire exploded in the air, forcing back the alien beast in the front.

At the same time, Qi Wan rushed out from the other side and stabbed the belly of an alien beast with the spear in her hand.

The alien beast screamed and fell to the ground, twitching.

Liu Zui also appeared from the side, holding a flaming sword in his hand.

The swords are waving and the flames are rising.

"You guys don't even bother to pick your opponents. You dare to chase and kill people like this?"

His figure was as fast as lightning, and he chopped down the remaining monsters to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The father and son watched all this in amazement, their eyes filled with shock and gratitude.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The man put the child down, bowed repeatedly, and spoke incoherently with excitement.

"If it weren't for you, we...we would be dead!"

Mr. Shu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, this is what we should do. Where are you going?"

The man picked up the child, looking a little hesitant: "We...we want to go back to Qinglong Base."

"Qinglong Base?" Qi Wan asked, with a hint of curiosity in her tone, "Why did you choose that place?"

"Because..." The man lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Because only if we reach the Qinglong base can we survive."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

"What do you mean?" Liu Zui asked, his tone cold, "There are only some iron frames left in the Qinglong base, and the houses you live in are made of earth and stone. Can they protect you?"

The man shook his head, with a hint of fear and helplessness in his tone:

"No, the Qinglong base is very special. You may not know this, but as long as you enter the base and become a believer of the gods, you will be protected. If...if you are chosen by the gods and become a messenger of God, you will be able to live a good life."

"God's messenger?" Shu Weng frowned, "What is that?"

"They are the ones chosen by the gods."

The man spoke faster, with deep fear in his eyes.

"Those gods... they are very powerful, much more powerful than ordinary people."

Qi Wan sneered: "That's a superpower, right? Do you regard superpowers as believers of gods?"

"No, it's different."

The man waved his hands quickly.

"We have seen those messengers of God. Their powers are completely different. They are not like the abilities that humans should have... Moreover, each messenger of God is given power by the gods themselves..."

When he spoke to this point, his voice gradually lowered, and his eyes revealed complicated emotions.

"However, not everyone can become a divine messenger. Ordinary people still have a hard time in the Azure Dragon Base..."

After he said this, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Shu Weng, Qi Wan and Liu Zui looked at each other and felt uneasy.

"We have nowhere to go, can we enter the Azure Dragon Base... and seek shelter?"

The man hesitated.

Still, he reminded me, "You are very powerful, but a tall tree attracts the wind. I... I am only saying this because you saved me."

"You have enough strength to make a living, but... don't ever run for the position of Divine Envoy!"
