The muzzle of the gun continued to tremble, and slowly moved down, revealing a handsome face with an expression of disbelief, and tears of excitement rolling in his eyes.
"Instructor Chen, is it really you?"
"It's me, Li Hao, you read that right, it's me." Chen Tiansheng opened his arms.
This person was Li Hao, the former little soldier, carrying a sniper rifle and rushing over excitedly.
"Instructor Chen, Sister Xue is right. You are indeed alive. It's great to see you!"
It had only been a year and a half since they were separated, and Li Hao had long since lost the youthfulness and immaturity he once had. Instead, in addition to his determination and decisiveness, his face was also... dusty.
The cheekbones on the thin face are a little prominent. Because of sleeping in the open air, it is several degrees darker than before. The lips are chapped and the eyes are full of red bloodshot eyes. It can be seen that it is caused by not having a good rest for a long time.
"Let's get out of here first!"
Chen Tiansheng pulled him away and left together. Not long after, a helicopter suddenly passed by. From a high position, he could only see a few losers lying on the ground and rolling in pain.
Chen Tiansheng and Li Hao avoided the helicopter search and hid under a dense bush. The two of them talked in a low voice:
"Instructor Chen, where have you been for more than a year? I heard that something happened to you in Magic City. Sister Xue immediately collapsed and led us all the way from the northwest theater just to find you."
"You are not dead, but why do the outside world say you are?"
"That's right. Sister Xue said that if you really died, the number one ranking would have been replaced by someone else. If you have always been number one, you must still be alive."
Li Hao seemed to be a talkative, chattering non-stop, as if he wanted to pour out all the emotions he had squeezed over the years.
"It's a long story. How was Yang Xue during this time? How did you two separate?"
Speaking of sadness, Li Hao was a little depressed.
"We were in the Northwest at that time, and we were participating in a competition in the name of Jiangcheng War Zone. As soon as it started, bad news about you came."
"This grandson of Gu Jun actually wants to implicate the nine tribes. Anyone who has anything to do with you, whether friends or comrades, will be arrested and investigated."
"When Sister Xue heard that you were dead, she went on a rampage and started killing people... Later, when we came near the Magic City, in order to sneak into the Magic City, we took the initiative to disperse and each of us found a way to sneak in."
"I'm unlucky and I keep getting discovered, so I can only hide in the mountains."
After listening to Li Hao's story, Chen Tiansheng felt very heavy.
"How are the casualties? Are the brothers okay?"
Li Hao scratched his head and said:
"The brothers in Jiangcheng have trained like you. They are more than capable of fighting pampered old soldiers. There are no casualties among the 18 of us. By the way, there is something I must confirm with you."
"you say!"
"When we were fighting in the northwest, we rescued a group of people, including members of the Excalibur team. They all became prisoners. Among them was a man named Ge Xiaotian and a man named Kong Minxue. They claimed to be your apprentices. They were really Of?"
Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"Yes, he is my apprentice, what next?"
"Really? Haha!"
Li Hao said awkwardly: "At that time, our future was uncertain. Coupled with information asymmetry, we didn't believe what they said, so we left them to fend for themselves in the northwest."
After speaking, Li Hao deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Actually, I believe it. Sister Xue seems to be jealous. You didn't take her with you, but you picked up two apprentices on the way. As soon as you mention this, Sister Xue gets angry."
Chen Tiansheng snorted coldly:
"Haha, she's still jealous and needs to be dealt with. She'll wait until I see her."
…
The material channel outside the city wall of the Magic City.
Several grain trucks were waiting for security inspection. After checking their documents, the guards in the city asked a few questions.
"Where did it come from, how much food, how many people are you in total?"
"Northwest, 5,000 tons of grain, 24 people in total."
The answers were fluent, and entry was allowed.
After the grain transport convoy entered the city, a figure disappeared under the carriage and quickly hid in the darkness.
A total of four people gathered together, namely Yang Xue, and three gangsters, Sun Xiaolong, Zheng Qian, and Wu Weida.
Yang Xue lowered her voice and said:
"We sneaked in, separately inquired about the news, and gathered at the appointed time and place. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Disband!"
The four of them dispersed, each walking in different directions.
Yang Xue wore a peaked cap and a linen cloak, completely hiding her figure, and walked quickly with her head lowered.
People are coming and going on the street, and you can see all kinds of strange clothes everywhere, and Yang Xue's dress is not strange.
There was a group of patrolling guards ahead, but Yang Xue carefully avoided them and hid in the crowd on the street.
The one-eyed man was still talking eloquently about stand-up comedy.
"Today we won't talk about the Three Kingdoms or the Water Margin, but we will talk about the biggest joke since the end of the world."
"In other words, the first choice of the ancient army for the war generals before the end of the world is from a famous family, a young man who succeeded in his ambition, and is also the best in the world's great competitions."
"After the end of the world, Gu Jun could take over the position of commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, and he is also the best candidate. But who would have thought that Gu Jun was ordered to commit a crime of God and not only suppress relatives, but also all the people he knows well."
"At that time, the world thought he was a great general and placed their hope on the ancient army. Little did they know that after the death of the founding father, wherever the ancient army went, it would bring disaster."
"After the tragedy in the northwest, the ancient army wanted to take over the granary of Northeast China. The army set out. When they arrived at Fengtian, they were rejected and moved to the Trooping Mountain to borrow troops."
"Unexpectedly, as soon as the people arrived, they were attacked by a tide of beasts."
"It stands to reason that Gu Jun published a theory of apocalyptic warfare and could easily deal with the tide of corpses and beasts in the apocalypse. But who would have thought that he was a man who was seeking fame and reputation. Under the command of Gu Jun, Tiaobing Mountain was successfully destroyed, and Gu Jun fled in embarrassment. , and then I saved my life.”
"The ancient army who returned to the imperial capital still wanted to revive their strength. Just a few days ago, Chai Junhu, the leader of the imperial army's forbidden army, seized power and usurped the throne. He disabled the legs of the ancient army and turned him into a cripple. A generation of unparalleled generals, a general and a tiger, was born. Disappear!"
"good!"
Everyone was happy to hear this and clapped their hands and applauded.
The patrol guards passed by, and after Yang Xue cleverly avoided them, they continued to sneak in the streets and alleys of the Magic City.
…
In the jungle in the wilderness.
Chen Tiansheng and Li Hao managed to escape from the helicopter hunt after a lot of effort.
Ahead is the dangerous outskirts of the magical city. Entering the western suburbs, passing through the city center, only then can you reach the magical city of Pudong.
The two of them were moving forward at lightning speed. While they were speeding, Chen Tiansheng suddenly stopped and looked to the side solemnly.
He stopped suddenly, shook Li Hao, and asked blankly: "What's wrong, Instructor Chen, it's not safe here!"
"Don't make any noise!"
Chen Tiansheng looked cautiously to the north. There was a pre-apocalyptic factory a few miles away.
I sniffed my nose hard and found the unique smell in the air. It was really hard not to detect it.
This disgusting smell was unforgettable and made Chen Tiansheng deeply disgusted.
"There are ogres, and more than one ogre!"
Chen Tiansheng's eyes were like daggers.
"I actually discovered the ogre's lair."
