Chapter 153 Let's go to the First Continent
Xie Qingheng remained detached until Shan Ran spoke, at which point he looked up at her.
The glance I gave her seemed to reconnect me with the world.
The people surrounding Shan Ran all have their own unique and distinct personalities, and they are not easily controlled by outsiders.
Each of them who went out was either a powerful figure capable of leading a region independently, or a troublesome troublemaker. But they all centered their attention around Shan Ran and followed her lead without question.
loyalty.
powerful.
Devotion.
The mountain at the center is even more powerful.
Thinking of this, all the fear and worry that had arisen from the strange phenomena on the First Continent vanished.
An unusual trust inexplicably arose within them.
They believed in the mountain's dyeing, and they also believed that their world could drive away the invaders.
Shan Ran and his companion agreed to depart in three days, first heading to the second continent, which is closer to the first continent. Once there, they would decide on their next course of action based on the situation at that time.
The people she was taking with her included Kunwu Yecheng and his Kunwu squad, Meng Xinye and his squad, Jia Nuo, Nan Guishang, Xie Qingheng, and Yu Yuan.
While she was away, the highest leadership of the central district was temporarily handed over to Chandler.
Shanran felt reassured leaving it to him.
Upon hearing this, Chandler lowered his eyes, the reflection from his glasses obscuring his vision, making it impossible for Shanran to see his expression.
He didn't keep Shan Ran waiting for long. After a moment, he looked up at her with a slight smile, the curve of his lips just the right amount of gentleness.
"Ranran, you can always trust me with your back."
It wasn't until that evening, when Shanran's mouth was gagged, that she learned what Cheadle had really been thinking that afternoon.
"Ranran, sometimes I envy them too, I envy them for having strong offensive superpowers."
He separated some parts, revealing a silver thread.
He kissed her, sucked on her lips, and pressed his lips against hers again and again, whispering, "But it's okay, I can do it, and they can't."
Shan Ran felt a tingling sensation from the kisses, but her mind remained clear.
She knew Cheadle's abilities, of course. He was exceptionally intelligent, had a photographic memory, was logical, loyal, calm, and composed; he was her best and most capable assistant.
If it weren't for Chandler's help, she wouldn't have been able to seize the executive power so easily.
He was very considerate and even helped her maintain good relationships with those men.
When he expressed his feelings before their first kiss, what he said really touched Shan Ran's heart.
As it turned out, Shan Ran's plan on the second continent proceeded very smoothly after acquiring digital information abilities.
Therefore, when Chandler came to her that night, expressing his desire to take things further so that he could better temporarily take over the Third Continent, Shan Ran readily agreed.
Chandler took off his glasses and stared intently at Shanran.
Her naturally light blue pupils appeared even clearer and cleaner without the lenses obscuring them.
Like the line where the azure sky meets the clear lake water, it is steady and stretches endlessly.
He rarely showed his emotions, but at this moment his eyes were filled with a deep, brooding look.
He rarely takes off his glasses; this is the second time Shanran has seen him do so.
He was still a little awkward when they kissed last time; his thick eyelashes trembled slightly when he closed his eyes, and he accidentally bit her tongue in the process.
That time, Shan Ran needed to guide him and teach him slowly.
However, Chandler was very clever and learned quickly. Later on, he even mastered the skills on his own.
She had thought she would need to be taught this time as well, but to her surprise, he moved very calmly.
It was only in the uncertain, probing look in his eyes when he occasionally glanced at her that it was clear he was demonstrating what he had learned for the first time.
I only paused briefly while searching for the location.
Then they accepted him.
His movements were gentle, but he talked a lot.
Is this place okay?
"Do you like it this way, Your Majesty?"
"Should we make it heavier?"
"Was it good?"
Shan Ran felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.
It's been too bumpy.
But what gave her even more headaches was Chandler's incoherent ramblings, which were so unlike his usual self.
She looked up at the man who was earnestly practicing. If it weren't for the movement of his waist, he would have looked like he was engaged in some kind of focused research or study.
But I have to say, it's still very comfortable.
Even if he occasionally loses control and uses excessive force, it will still be within a comfortable range.
She didn't need to say much throughout the whole process.
It's so convenient to talk to smart people.
No, she didn't even communicate much; she just knew how to make her feel comfortable by observing her facial expressions and the frequency of her voice.
Shan Ran couldn't help but sigh and began to enjoy herself.
Chandler observed carefully from beginning to end.
expression.
humidity.
The force of the encirclement.
After a brief period of disappointment in the past few days, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
He doesn't need to compare his weaknesses with others' strengths; he just needs to make the most of his own advantages.
Moreover...
He lowered his head for a deep kiss, feeling the girl's trembling as he licked her tongue.
Based on her reaction, Chandler could also deduce that he indeed had a great strength.
On the morning of the day the group set off, Chandler woke up.
The timing was similar to what Shanran had predicted, which is why she agreed to Chandel's request that night.
"I'm sorry to trouble you during this time."
Chandler and Shanran shook hands. "It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."
"CEO Shanran, I wish you all the best and a safe return."
His expression was gentle, and his movement of withdrawing his hand was clean and swift.
Just as the person in front of him turned to leave, he rubbed his fingers together, feeling the lingering warmth on his hands, and whispered in an almost inaudible voice.
"Ranran, you must stay safe."
——
The Yu family has sent their newest and fastest ship, and with the help of meat and marine life, the journey can be shortened from eight days to five days.
In the past few days, the news of the Chen family of the First Continent seeking help has caused a huge uproar.
The plea for help was posted on the forum in the middle of the night, but it did not affect the speed of its spread at all.
The Third Continent is relatively more stable because of the presence of Shan Ran, the Executive Officer.
She has the ability to unite people, the strength to win them over, and a group of supporters who bring together the previously fragmented Third Continent.
With a powerful backer, the people here feel confident.
But the second continent is different.
Previously, each family governed its own territory. After the experimental island was destroyed, the faction led by the Lawrence family and the Yu family purged the faction of the top families.
There are many branches of powerful families here, with a population no less than that of the First Continent.
Therefore, during this period, the Second Continent was rife with conflict and battles, and was in great chaos.
Rhine has taken over the position of head of the family and is just as busy as Shanran, keeping herself extremely busy every day.
The top families put up a stubborn resistance. Although they have lost contact with their main families on the First Continent, the class consciousness that has been passed down for hundreds of years in their bones makes them unwilling to give in easily.
Until the Chen family's distress call arrived.
The first to explode were the branches of the four minor families.
They immediately stopped everything they were doing and rushed toward the locations of the three major family branches.
The people inside refused to see anyone.
No matter how loudly the people outside shouted and cursed, they wouldn't open the door.
Because they didn't know what had happened either.
They were all confused when they saw the forum message.
Good heavens, what are the patriarch and the archbishop up to?
They didn't get any of the benefits, but they still have to bear the infamy and clean up the mess.
The key point is that they really don't know anything.
Simply running away won't help; besides the four minor families, many more people gathered at the door.
Their defenses were simply no match for such a large group of people.
They quickly captured all the members of the three major family branches.
Before long, he was beaten black and blue, with tears streaming down his face.
"Stop hitting us! Stop hitting us! We really don't know anything, sob sob..."
"The First Continent's internet went down without any notification. Not to mention you guys, we didn't receive any messages either!"
"It's really true. Such a big thing. If we were insiders, would our patriarch feel comfortable letting us stay here?"
"We...we're just a bunch of expendable pawns. Even if you beat us to death, you won't get a single word out of us!"
"......."
The three family branches are located in different regions, but they are all suffering the same kind of beating.
Soon, the Lawrence family sent word that people should stop beating and venting their anger, and that those from these branches should be imprisoned and the matter discussed later.
The original aristocratic factions collapsed instantly. People no longer cared about the struggle between factions; they only wanted to know what had happened on the First Continent.
I just want to know if any unforeseen dangers will befall us in the future.
The black fog in the photo looks like a mountain weighing on people's hearts.
fear.
Strange.
The fog will not dissipate until a definitive answer is obtained.
On the fourth day of Shan Ran and her group's voyage at sea, urgent news came from the Yu family.
The fog has spread across the First Continent!
After the mountains and the meat passed through, the marine life kept a close eye on the fog that shrouded the entire continent.
The closer you get to the first continent, the fewer the number of monsters and marine life there are.
The meatballs' answer was that their instincts told them that it was dangerous over there.
But Rou Rou couldn't answer what specific dangers might exist.
I dare not get close, but it's okay to observe from a distance.
Shan Ran received the news immediately, and the fog began to spread outwards.
And it's very fast.
At this rate, we expect to reach the second continent in five days.
Having absorbed nourishment from all the humans of the First Continent, it's unknown what the monsters inside have grown into.
That monster was certainly not a god from another world.
Instead, they were the heads of the three great families and the archbishops.
According to the will of the world, even if another world were to descend, it would require a medium and could not directly manifest its true form in the world.
This is the world's barrier to protect itself, and it will exist until it is completely invaded.
They became the medium for the gods of another world, slaughtering hundreds of millions of their own kind.
What do those monsters look like now?
Shan Ran urged the Yu family's ships to speed up, compressing the time by half a day, and finally arrived at the Second Continent.
