Chapter 71



◎I'm waiting for you in Fengyun Tianxia◎

The moment the holographic cabin was opened, Xia Li vaguely heard a noisy sound. After the hatch was completely opened, she realized that the noise was coming from outside the house.

After opening the door, the radio in front of the residential building was broadcasting the emergency communication over and over again:

"Dear fellow Star Citizens, according to news from the Satellite Department, a large number of Star Beasts are attacking towards Tost. For your safety, please do not go out!"

"I repeat! Fellow citizens, according to the news from the Satellite Department, a large number of star beasts are attacking the planet Tost. For your safety, please do not go out!"

The echo of the radio continued to spread, and the residents living in Slum No. 36 looked at the sky in horror.

"What's going on? There hasn't been a wave of star beasts on Tost for a long time!"

"Yeah, the last time was before General Baili took office! I think it was four or five years ago."

"Hey, please stop talking. Even now, when I think back to that year when the star beasts besieged Tost, I tremble all over and break out in cold sweats! It was so horrible, so horrible! The star beasts ate every person they saw, and when they couldn't eat any more, they tore the person into pieces and swallowed them..."

"Ahhhhh shut up!"

"Aren't the military patrolling the planet every day? I hope they can quickly intercept the star beasts outside!"

"Intercept? Haha, are you kidding?" Some placed their hopes on the military, while others scoffed, "Don't you know about the star beasts that devoured people last month? Four people were eaten at the Rhodes factory! If the military had discovered it earlier, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!"

"That's right! Isn't their job to protect the people of the planet? Now they can't even guarantee our basic safety, they might as well just step down! What a bunch of high-handed guys!"

"I knew that Baili Huaixi was untrustworthy! He has no skills at all. What's the point of such a person joining the military?"

"You're right. His adjutant looks like a wimp, skinny and weak. If he wasn't from the Yu family, I don't think he'd be able to be an adjutant!"

A group of people who had long been dissatisfied with the military began to take this opportunity to make loud accusations. Some of them became more and more excited and even wanted to lead the unrelated women and children around them to protest together.

The women held their children to prevent these reactionaries from influencing them, while the children cried loudly and hugged their mothers desperately.

The sounds of broadcasting, shouting, cursing, crying... For a moment, it was a complete chaos in front of the residential building.

Xia Li saw it all and said nothing. She just picked up a few stones from her feet and threw one at each of the angry people.

"Who is it? Who threw me!"

"You're freaking sick!"

Five or six men touched their bruised heads and cursed at Xia Li.

Xia Li wasn't angry either. She just leaned on the first-floor railing and looked at them calmly: "Remember, without the military, you would have been fed to the dogs long ago."

A long time ago, when she was just an ignorant little girl, she was almost eaten by a star beast. At the critical moment, the former major general of the military stepped forward and snatched her from the star beast's mouth, saving her life.

However, because of saving her, the major general's lower body fell into the mouth of the star beast.

Blood splattered all over her body, and then she went crazy, using all her strength to drag the major general out of the star beast's mouth.

She didn't know how to treat it, so she just kept patting the previous major general's face in an attempt to wake him up. To prevent the major general from falling into danger again, she, who was only a few years old, ran away and successfully led the star beast away from the major general.

Later, the star beast tide was finally repelled by the military, and she also learned from others that the major general was rescued, but he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

She still remembers this incident.

It was because of this incident that she chose the profession of pastor in her previous life.

However, the group of people cursing in front of her clearly didn't buy it. One of them, a tall, thin man with a scar on his face, smiled, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards her with his hands in his pockets: "Little sister, you are so ignorant of your own highness. Let me teach you a lesson."

He emphasized the word "lesson" deliberately, as if he was hinting something to the person next to him.

A malicious laugh suddenly broke out from behind the man!

"Mom, Sister Ali..." A little boy timidly tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes.

However, his mother just held him down gently and shook her head, saying, "Don't be afraid, let him go."

The little boy opened his mouth, not knowing why his mother said such a thing. It was obvious that Sister Ali was about to be bullied, so were they just going to watch it?

Seeing this, the little boy's grandmother came over, touched his head, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your sister Ali is not that easy to bully."

Just as the old man finished speaking, the little boy heard a loud bang and trembled with fear.

Then I saw the man who had previously threatened to teach Sister Ali a lesson lying on the ground with his legs spread out, groaning in pain.

The boy's eyes widened in disbelief. How could Sister Ali, who looked so weak, suddenly throw the man to the ground?!

At this moment, Xia Li, who was standing near the railing on the first floor, was completely oblivious to the boy's shock. She continued to calmly look at the man on the ground and said calmly, "You can't even beat me. Did you get that scar on your face in vain?"

Fuck! The scarred man cursed fiercely on the ground. He wanted to sit up, ready to fight for real this time, but no matter how he turned over, his upper body could not support itself, and he always felt a dull pain somewhere.

"Brother! Your shoulder is dislocated!"

It was not until his younger brother who followed him exclaimed in surprise that the scarred man realized that his shoulders were injured in the over-the-shoulder fall just now!

"You're dead if you dare to hurt me!" The scarred man finally stood up with the help of his brothers, "He Tang, all of you, come on!"

However, the man named He Tang did not move for a long time.

The scarred man turned around with an angry look: "What the hell are you doing? How dare you disobey me?"

He Tang raised his eyelids and looked at his eldest brother with complicated eyes. Then he slowly raised his finger and pointed at Xia Li who was standing slightly higher: "Brother, she looks like that Xia Lihua..."

"What did you say?!" The scarred man stared at He Tang in astonishment. His entire body froze. After a few seconds, he finally turned his gaze to the girl who had easily knocked him over. He took a deep breath and said, "He Tang, please don't talk nonsense."

He Tang stood behind him, his voice soft as a mosquito: "Brother, I remember this face. She looks like this in the game too. I ran into her at the trading center that day. I was planning to humiliate her by using the post, but I never expected someone from Dark Storm to show up. I couldn't leave, and I couldn't stay..."

"So she was the one who caused you to be imprisoned in the Royal City Prison by the patrol?"

He Tang: "Yes..."

New accounts add to old ones, very good. The scarred man stared at her coldly and smiled.

"He Tang, let's go!"

Before turning around, the scarred man memorized this face in his mind. Next time, when he enters the miracle again, he will make this woman cry and beg for mercy!

After watching the group of people who humiliated the military leave, the other residents returned to their rooms and locked the doors under repeated requests from the radio.

No one knew when the star beast tide would come. Everyone closed their eyes, clasped their hands together, and prayed that their general could lead the army to successfully resist the star beast tide.

At the same time, in Area A on the other side of Tost Star.

When the face of the youngest major general in the history of the military appeared on the huge LED light screen, most of the powerful people in Area A were furious!

"How much tax do we pay to your military throughout the year? And this is how you work for us?!"

"A bunch of useless dogs! You can't even stop a star beast, what's the point of keeping you in Area A!"

"Why are you dawdling so long? Hurry up and get going! I'm getting annoyed just looking at you!"

"Woo, mom, are star beasts scary? What should we do if a star beast comes?"

"Don't be afraid, son. As long as the military is there, they will have to go to the battlefield for us."

"What if the military is gone?"

"Then bring those idiots from the slums over here. As long as we feed the star beasts, they won't eat us!"

Baili Huaixi's expression on the screen was solemn but calm. As usual, he briefly explained the current situation to Area A, then stepped out of the screen and said to the man outside the monitoring room, "Mr. Long, we are ready to go."

Mr. Long sat in front of the one-way glass, looking at Baili Huaixi in the monitoring room, and slowly raised one corner of his mouth: "Go, Major General Baili."

Baili Huaixi was asked to leave from the other side of the room and did not see Mr. Long the whole time.

As soon as they left the Long Building, Yu Zhengqing rushed over and grabbed him: "Brother Xi, he didn't do anything to you, did he?!"

Damn old man, he never stops in the game or in reality!

Yu Ziteng and Baili Huaiguo also came over to check if he was injured.

Baili Huaixi waved his hand: "I'm fine. How about you? Is the team organized?"

"Report to the Major General, Team 1 is ready!"

"Report to the Major General, Team 2 is ready!"

"Report to the Major General, Team 3 is ready!"

All three stood up straight and saluted at the same time, speaking in unison.

Xia Li got the information she wanted - Tost Star is about to usher in a wave of star beasts that it has not experienced in five years, and the military led by Baili Huaixi is about to go to the battlefield.

Many years ago, the previous major general lost his lower body in order to save her. She will never forget this scene.

And now, the current Major General Baili Huaixi will also fight for the planet. Xia Li bit her lower lip, feeling inexplicably depressed.

Lying back in the holographic chamber, Xia Li looked at the enclosed space and took a long, deep breath. "President, Steamed Fish, Baiguo, and Zither, you must come back alive."

I'll be waiting for you at Fengyun Tianxia.

A white light flashed, and the noisy broadcast disappeared from my ears, replaced by an all-too-familiar game scene.

The friend icon kept flashing. Xia Li clicked it and found an additional friend request.

[Player Baofeng requests to add you as a friend, do you agree? ]

Xia Li's eyes flashed.

【yes】

Then close and exit.

Almost at the same time, the Mercenary Guild also sent her a message:

【Your task list has been updated, please check】

After just a few days, Pipixia had made some progress. Sure enough, they were smart. So I opened the task list and checked the updated content uploaded by the other party:

[Dear employer, the following is the list of players who killed Bruce: Murphy, Che An, Yamato Mitsuyo]
