"Walk!"
Shangwu unleashed a sword strike, forcing back the cultists who were chasing them.
Not far away was the gate of the shelter, where a ferocious figure stood, the only clue being which city guard was it from the few tattered pieces of clothing.
Shen Qing seemed to be in a daze for a moment before Shang Wu grabbed him and shot him away.
"Don't just stand there."
The still-functioning security camera at the entrance recorded the three people leaving.
A moment later, the three of them stopped on the back of a small hill.
"What exactly happened?"
Shangwu's gaze froze as he looked at the distant refuge where the constant roaring could be heard, his expression full of bewilderment.
How long was he unconscious?
Why does it feel like everything has changed when I woke up?
Xu Ruiling shook her head: "I don't know either, I just woke up too."
Their gazes fell on Qin Sheng, whose head drooped and whose whole body exuded a faint sense of death.
"The Xu and Chen brothers are also believers."
"Hmm." Shangwu nodded. "And then?"
"What? And then what? Aren't you surprised?" Qin Sheng couldn't help but ask.
“We all know that,” Shangwu said helplessly. “That’s why I stopped you from going to the nursing home.”
“…”
Qin Sheng was taken aback: "But aren't nursing homes run by the Creation and Life Education Foundation... Oh!"
Shangwu nodded: "You thought of that too? It's probably an internal conflict within the Creation Cult."
Qin Sheng feigned disbelief: "What about my second uncle?"
Shangwu remained silent, which implicitly confirmed his guess.
In an instant, Qin Sheng's acting skills exploded, his eyes overflowing with deep sadness and self-mockery.
"I actually thought about helping them clear up the misunderstanding, haha."
After a moment, Shangwu asked what the current situation was.
Qin Sheng also truthfully recounted how he was blasted away by the aftershocks of the fight between Xu Zhou and the Chen brothers, and what he saw upon emerging was the despair of the believers scattered all over the ground.
Then they saw lightning flashing in the sky, and the city walls being breached as strange beasts invaded.
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu's expression gradually darkened.
He really doesn't understand the current situation.
“Now, there’s nowhere safe in the entire 11th district,” Qin Sheng said, head bowed.
Shang Wu remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on Xu Ruiling, his mind racing.
He spoke after a moment.
"No, there is another safe place."
"Where?!" Qin Sheng looked up and asked impatiently.
“Dragon beast.” Shangwu slowly uttered the two words.
"It's absolutely safe where the dragon beast is!"
Qin Sheng pretended to be stunned, then his face lit up with the joy of surviving a close call: "That's great! If we hide somewhere in another district and get reinforcements, we'll be safe!"
Shang Wu nodded: "Indeed, I'll ask my superiors."
He wanted to send a message, but worried that the other party wouldn't have time to reply to him in the current situation, so he chose to make a phone call instead.
Shangwu may not understand the current situation, but that doesn't prevent him from achieving his original goal.
He walked to the side, where Qin Sheng and Xu Ruiling were both watching him.
Soon, Shangwu breathed a sigh of relief and came back: "Rest for a bit, we'll set off in a bit. Ling'er, come here."
Qin Sheng was taken aback; this was truly unexpected.
The location of the dragon beast was found just like that?
That doesn't make sense.
Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly; something was very wrong here.
Didn't Cao Guangxing have any doubts when the people in the shelter suddenly became religious?
Moreover, Xu Ruiling herself was a suspect, so how could he feel at ease letting Shang Wu take her there?
Something unusual must be going on!
While they were pondering, Shang Wu and Xu Ruiling, who were standing nearby, also laid their cards on the table.
"Ling'er, you're the one who knocked me out, aren't you?"
Xu Ruiling's pupils contracted, and she hurriedly shook her head: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Shangwu's gaze fell on her, but he didn't press further. Instead, he reminded her, "The higher-ups have told me the location of the dragon beast. If we lose it now, both of us will be suspected. Do you understand?"
Perhaps Xu Ruiling herself was suspected, and she would still do it even if she was taking that risk.
But if Shangwu himself would also be in danger because of this, Xu Ruiling would definitely not do it!
Xu Ruiling was stunned. She wanted to say that she wouldn't leak it, but she couldn't.
"I see."
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xu Ruiling would never lie to him about this matter!
Of course, what Xu Ruiling said is true.
Because she had just received a promise from Qin Sheng!
"Say yes."
Anyway, if there really are dragon beasts there, Xu Ruiling doesn't need to take any action.
However, Shangwu's performance did pique Qin Sheng's interest.
At this point, with the Creation Cult having destroyed District 11 and breached the city walls, does Shangwu still intend to protect Xu Ruiling?
Is this the legendary pure love?
That's interesting.
Qin Sheng was going to conduct an experiment; it was just a convenient task.
After resting for a while, the system produced a new potion.
"Um?"
Shangwu turned around, looking around with a puzzled expression.
Qin Sheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
After observing his surroundings and finding nothing amiss, Shangwu shook his head and said, "I must have made a mistake."
But he wasn't mistaken; Xu Ruiling had taken the potion from Qin Sheng's hand just a moment ago, though it wasn't her intention.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Ruiling asked in her mind.
"Don't worry, I won't order you around anymore. You just need to put the medicine in your pocket."
Xu Ruiling was full of doubts, but she couldn't figure out what Qin Sheng meant no matter how hard she tried.
The three of them walked carefully in the wild.
After all, the city is not necessarily safe now. Cultists roam freely, and strange beasts invade. We could be in danger at any time.
Perhaps they were just unlucky; Lady Luck smiled upon them, and they didn't encounter any other dangers along the way.
A moment later, Shangwu stopped.
"We've arrived."
Qin Sheng looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Because what lay before them was a bare mountain peak, with nowhere for dragons to hide.
"This is?"
Shang Wu shook his head, unable to answer Qin Sheng's question either.
"I don't know, but the location assigned by the higher-ups is here."
After searching for a while, Shangwu quickly found several of the mechanisms mentioned in the information.
Rumble...
Slowly, a stone door opened in front of them, revealing an iron passage inside.
Qin Sheng suddenly realized.
This mountain is both fake and real!
They hollowed it out!
Although the three of them went inside, they also witnessed the vast space within and the enormous dragon beast sleeping inside.
"So this is a dragon beast..."
Xu Ruiling was a little dazed, staring blankly at the figure in front of her covered in black dragon scales.
Its entire body was covered in ink-black scales, which reflected a faint glow under the light. A faint dragon's might pressed down on the two of them, as if they were facing a king.
Even though it was asleep, the two instinctively sensed a threat.
It was as if the dragon beast in front of them could easily kill them!
Qin Sheng subconsciously pushed his nose, but there was nothing there.
The last material, the Dragon Soul, has also been found.
