NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 353
Chapter 353
The handsome young man was a little anxious. He took two steps forward to stop Zhan Hongyu.
At this moment, Lu Sheng raised his arm slightly.
This action was like a switch.
Boom!
Boom!
Lan Tianci and the others unleashed their auras. Thick white energy and Master Qi shields lit up like headlights.
All of them looked nervous as they stared at Lu Sheng as if they were facing a great enemy. It was as if he would suddenly go berserk in the next second.
“Don't be nervous, I just want to scratch an itch...”
Lu Sheng looked at Lan Tianci and the others calmly, then turned to Zhan Hongyu and the others. “Let's go.”
“Yes, sir.”
The group of people looked at Lan Tianci's team strangely and quickly left.
Lan Tianci and the others' faces changed from green to red, looking extremely ugly.
"Captain, where did that guy come from? Even Zhan Hongyu has to address him respectfully?"
As soon as he walked away, someone couldn't help but ask.
Lan Tianci's face was as dark as deep water. He slowly shook his head.
“Who cares who he is, it has nothing to do with us... Let's continue with the mission.”
“Yes, sir.”
The group quickly entered the ruins of the city and repeated what Zhan Hongyu's team had done previously.
"Strange, I haven't seen a single exotic beast since I started walking in the wilderness? No wonder Zhan Hongyu and the others left so quickly. Were there any errors in the relayed information?"
Lan Tianci walked through the city ruins, sweeping away the weeds and bushes with his alloy saber.
At this moment, a trembling voice came from the wireless earpiece in his ear.
“Cap...Captain, come over here for a moment...”
Lan Tianci's heart skipped a beat. Thinking that something had happened, he quickly moved.
“Hold on, I'll be there soon!”
Lan Tianci rushed to the coordinates reported by the team member.
From afar, he could see that person standing in one place, perfectly still, not moving at all.
“What's going on?”
Lan Tianci crossed dozens of meters in one step and landed beside that person. He frowned. “Have you lost your mind?”
That person didn't speak. He just stared at a certain spot and pointed.
Lan Tianci looked in the direction of his finger.
In an instant, he felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart and nailed him to the ground. His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the shocking sight of the wall of flesh and the giant door.
He felt numb from head to toe. In the blink of an eye, a figure flashed across Lan Tianci's mind. It was a tall and straight young man with indifferent eyes.
Lan Tianci had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind him before. The shocking scene in front of him faintly overlapped.
Combined with Zhan Hongyu's respect for him and the strange things his team had encountered along the way … Clues quickly connected in Lan Tianci's mind and finally formed a terrifying truth.
“Impossible…”
Lan Tianci's face was pale. He stumbled back a few steps and kept shaking his head.
“Absolutely impossible!”
…
“It's about time.”
Zhan Hongyu called for everyone to stop. Then, she asked the handsome young man in the team to contact the base.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, two military helicopters roared over.
Lu Sheng and the Tiger Scorpion Squad boarded one, and the surviving veterans of the 835th Division boarded the other.
“Thank you for saving our lives, sir!”
The veterans stood in front of Lu Sheng in an orderly manner before boarding the helicopter. They solemnly saluted and bowed.
If it wasn't for Lu Sheng … They would have been digested into feces and excreted out by the exotic beasts.
There was no way they would be alive and kicking here.
Lu Sheng boarded the helicopter and left.
He could also see six people standing upright in a standard military salute, looking at him. The skinny man standing in the middle was holding an alloy saber and a military cap with a shiny emblem.
“These people are all true warriors.”
Lu Sheng was touched and said to Zhan Hongyu, who was beside him.
Zhan Hongyu was stunned. Then, she nodded seriously. “Yes, they are worthy of respect.”
Lu Sheng didn't find much sympathy in her eyes. He suddenly felt a little dispirited.
The helicopter roared in the air as it sped forward.
Half an hour later, Lu Sheng saw the outline of the military district in the distance. It wasn't the military region he went to when he joined for the Qiming General Selection back then.
The Eastern Military Region was just a general term. There were twelve military districts in the entire Eastern Military Region. He was now in the ninth military region.
The helicopter flew into the military district.
Lu Sheng used his spiritual power to scan the densely packed military base below.
This should be the military base for ordinary soldiers. Lu Sheng saw many new recruits and veterans training.
As the helicopter went deeper into the military base, the density of the buildings decreased. The area became more spacious.
After some time, Zhan Hongyu said, “We’re here.”
The helicopter slowly landed. Lu Sheng followed Zhan Hongyu and the others down.
What appeared before Lu Sheng was an orderly building with a simple and austere style.
Most of the people he saw were in military or combat uniforms. Occasionally, there were people in casual clothes.
He could see Martial Masters whose Qi and blood were as abundant as furnaces, as well as some ordinary people, including the elderly and children.
Lu Sheng looked around and found that there were almost all kinds of shops here. Although there were fewer people, it was almost comparable to the central business district of some major cities.
Zhan Hongyu seemed to see his confusion. She explained, “This is the military district. Many military commanders will bring their families and friends here to live. Slowly, it developed into this place … To be honest, except for the inconvenience, living here is safer than living in other places.”
Lu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Zhan Hongyu was right.
This was the military district, the closest place to the Catacombs in Dragon Nation. However, when it came to safety, there were few places that could compare to this place.
No wonder there were so many ordinary people here. They were all family members of military commanders and soldiers.
“If I bring my parents and Lu Qinghe to the military district, I won’t have to worry about that crazy woman Lian Su taking revenge. No matter how powerful the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy is, even the wife of a Martial Sage won’t dare to hire assassins to sneak into the military base.”
The only problem was whether his parents and Lu Qinghe would be willing to come.
“What are the conditions for bringing family members here?” Lu Sheng asked.
Zhan Hongyu explained in detail, “As long as they’re in the military, they’ll be fine. A seventh-grade general can have ten family members. The military will give each general a house big enough for a family to live in. If they’re not satisfied, they can spend extra money to buy a house …”
It was a very simple condition.
Lu Sheng relaxed. He nodded and said, “Then please take me to get certified as a general. You’re familiar with the procedure, right?”
“Of course.”
Zhan Hongyu agreed quickly. However, she looked hesitant. She said to Lu Sheng carefully, “Sir, do you want to … clean up first?”
Lu Sheng was stunned. He looked down at himself and blushed, which was rare.
Indeed, if Zhan Hongyu hadn’t reminded him, he would have forgotten.
Right now, he was no different from a savage.
After the formation of his immortal cells, his physique was extraordinary and refined.
There was very little dirt left on his body.
However, his hair and clothes weren’t without muck.
Lu Sheng was used to the smell and didn’t feel anything. Now that his sense of smell had recovered, he smelled it carefully and almost fainted.
He was lucky that Zhan Hongyu and the others were willing stay by his side and had endured this smell for so long.
“I can’t take it anymore. I have to take a shower now!”
Lu Sheng said to himself.
