"No one can give me a sense of security except myself."
Discarding the broken pieces of the bead, the lone youth continued forward, sword on his back. He had encountered very few enemies so far, and he desperately hoped for a worthy adversary.
Looking for Mo Shuwan?
Zheng Baiyu stared at the dim pen in his hand, unable to come to his senses for a long time, until the person next to him urged him to hurry up, and he suddenly realized what was happening.
The messages that my elders had just passed on flashed through my mind.
"An opponent you absolutely cannot defeat has appeared on Battlefield One. The number of new recruits entering Battlefield One has dwindled from 20,000 to 30,000 to just over 9,000. You must find a way to rendezvous with other teams, and ideally, find Mo Shuwan. So far, the only team we know of that can barely hold off the enemy."
Zheng Baiyu thought about it carefully and finally realized with a sigh that among the gray-level soldiers who had parted ways with them before, there seemed to be a girl named Mo Shuwan. In other words, their previous guess that the gray-level soldiers had been killed was completely wrong. Moreover, judging from the information passed on by their elders, the gray-level soldiers were still very important...
With a helpless sigh, Zheng Baiyu looked at his companion who knew nothing at all. After pondering for a moment, he repeated what he knew in detail, but the response he received was not very good.
Among the group, almost no one believed that a few gray-level soldiers could play such a big role, and they were also very suspicious of how Zheng Baiyu obtained the information. Gradually, the crowd that was just discussing something turned their attention to Zheng Baiyu, and even more surprisingly, some people quietly retreated.
How can you prove that what you're saying is true?
Zheng Baiyu shrugged. "I can't prove it. If you don't believe me and are unwilling to act with me, I'll leave now."
Unexpectedly, Zheng Baiyu didn't offer any defense for himself. After a moment of stunned silence, someone chuckled and said, "Then you can leave."
Others, however, thought of Zheng Baiyu's combat prowess along the way and wanted to persuade her to stay. "It's not that we don't trust you, it's that you suddenly said these things, which we can't accept for a moment. You can't possibly not know what gray-level soldiers represent. No matter how special they are, they can't be so special that they can be hunted down by super-powerful beings from the extraterrestrial invaders and still not be killed."
Zheng Baiyu, who had already turned to leave, turned back and scanned the faces of the crowd. He saw that some of them were not prejudiced and were seriously considering the truth of what he had just said.
"My uncle is Zheng Kun, my biological uncle."
"Zheng Kun?!"
The man who had just mocked Zheng Baiyu and told him to leave was stunned. Although he had only recently joined the legion, he knew the names of the two city lords: the city lord was Shi Zhu, and the deputy city lord…
After a long silence, he finally managed to utter, "...How can you prove that your uncle is the deputy city lord?"
No proof is needed.
Thinking of the anxious voices of his father and uncle when he received the message, Zheng Baiyu's eyes darkened again. He really didn't want to linger any longer. "Those who trust me, follow along."
A few people in the crowd hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the strength Zheng Baiyu had shown before and the endless stream of little creatures, they were already half-believing his self-proclaimed identity. Moreover, things had indeed changed on Battlefield Number One...
Seeing that some people actually followed Zheng Baiyu, including some with considerable strength, even those who had previously believed that Zheng Baiyu was lying began to hesitate. After they had walked some distance, someone gritted their teeth and said, "Let's follow them and see. If we feel something is wrong, we'll retreat immediately."
Seeing that the few people with decent strength were following Zheng Baiyu, they began to waver, waiting for a way to back down. Now that someone had suggested it, they immediately received a lot of support. Instantly, another group of people appeared behind Zheng Baiyu and his group, but the two groups were still separated by some distance.
Those who decided to go find Mo Shuwan and his group first were quite good. After receiving advice from their elders, most of the new recruits continued to wander around searching for the foreign invaders.
As time passed, more and more Alliance recruits died in Battlefield One. This was the first time in history that so many recruits had died at the same time, and the names at the bottom of the monument had been blacked out countless times.
During this time, Mo Shuwan and her team finally encountered other teams.
They stopped by a stream. The water was obviously undrinkable, but the terrain was slightly higher than other places, so they could spot any approaching enemies immediately.
Compared to the other team, they had more people, so after meeting by the stream, the other team immediately distanced themselves and would occasionally turn their heads to look at them, as if they were worried that they would make a move.
Because there were two people in the team, Cheng Hua and Yun Chen, who seemed fine on the surface but actually had extremely bad tempers, Mo Shuwan quickly told them to turn around. Although she could still feel their occasional stares, at least she could avoid seeing them.
"In our current situation, we absolutely cannot afford to have a conflict with our own people."
As soon as Mo Shuwan finished speaking, Cheng Hua, who was itching to get up and deal with the person, immediately pulled his mind back and said in a low voice, "I know."
"Hmm." Mo Shuwan looked at Yun Chenjing again, and only felt relieved when she saw that he also nodded.
"It seems the giants aren't chasing us anymore."
The time it took them to catch up with the giants in the previous times had been decreasing. Now they had been running for at least half a day, but the giants still hadn't appeared. Wang Jiajia's guess was not without reason.
