CH 139
The Return of The Lord God
The four had a nice meal that night.
The next morning, Hu Xiong carried Li Xin on his shoulder and followed behind Bai Lixin and Lei Yao.
Along the way, Bai Lixin was always at the front, fighting and slaughtering monsters, and the people followed behind to just enjoy the show.
Hu Xiong went through several psychological changes along the way.
From initially worrying about Bai Lixinâs ability to withstand, to later being ashamed of just watching, to later taking it as a matter of fact.
Stuffing another piece of meat leftover from yesterday into his mouth, Hu Xiong mindfully put his misgivings about not participating behind him.
When Bai Lixin killed a giant locust that had scurried out to cause trouble, Hu Xiong suddenly heard a rattling sound in the bushes.
Swallowing the last piece of meat in his mouth, Hu Xiong put Li Xin down and raised the steel ball in his hand as he bellowed, âLord Mo Ye, you rest. Let me take care of this one! â
Immediately afterwards, a huge black panther carrying a man rushed out.
The black panther scurried extremely fast, skimming over Hu Xiong and directly jumping in front of Bai Lixin, glaring at him wide-eyed.
âUh, Xiao Jun?â Bai Lixin blinked his eyes and called out.
Mo Shaojunâs heart rejoiced at the sight of Bai Lixin and he hurriedly transformed into his human form to hug Lei Qi in his arms, âBig brother Mo Ye, itâs me.â
After taking a glance at Lei Qi, who was lying unconscious in Mo Shaojunâs arms, Bai Lixin asked, âWhat happened to him?â
âExcessive mental energy consumption.â Mo Shaojunâs brow furrowed as he carefully brought Lei Qi into his arms again, âWe were pushed by the beasts to the waterâs edge and ended up being surrounded by a group of giant snakes that lived by the water. I underwent a half-beast transformation at the time, but these giant water snakes are all S+ creatures, and Lei Qi became what he is now as he kept transmitting his spiritual power to me.â
âDonât worry, heâs fine. Itâs just his mental energy thatâs exhausted. Heâll come to his senses after two days of rest. â Lei Yao went over and examined Lei Qi carefully and said.
âIs that so? Great! Thank you! â Mo Shaojunâs eyes lit up, and he hugged the person in his arms tighter, promising, âI will protect him well.â
âSince we have passed through so many hurdles to become partners, letâs partner well for the rest of our lives. After all, it took so much effort to get each other. â Bai Lixin took the opportunity to take Lei Yaoâs arm and hinted at Mo Shaojun.
Lei Yao also nodded in cooperation, âLei Qi is my younger brother. Iâll entrust him to you. You must treat him well in the future.â
Hu Xiong looked at the scene in front of him and bent down to whisper in Li Xinâs ear, âSee, in the future, donât put yourself into a coma just to channel spiritual energy to me. Otherwise, God knows what youâll have to go through while youâre unconscious; you might wake up when youâve already been sold.âLi Xin
blinked her wet eyes at Hu Xiong, and nodded her head in a seemingly understanding manner, promising, âBut if you are fighting, I will not withdraw my spiritual energy.â
Hu Xiong smiled helplessly, âBlah blah blah, crowâs tongue. Talking as if I would die for my country. â
Li Xinâs eyes reddened, and she wanted to bow in apology, but immediately thought of Hu Xiongâs so-called âbowing after deathâ question and stopped halfway.
Hu Xiong laughed and pinched Li Xinâs cheeks, putting her back on his shoulders, âThen letâs move on?â
What had been a group of only two now had more and more light bulbs flashing around.
General Lei Yao had a million irritations in his heart, but his face was still straight as he said, âOkay, letâs set off.â
Because of the blessing of the powerful warrior Bai Lixin, these people had a smooth and unhindered journey.
And Mo Shaojun, likewise, went through the same psychological reconstruction as Hu Xiong. From initial worry, to shame, to later peace of mind.
Lei Qi was pale and still in a coma. From time to time, Mo Shaojun looked down at Lei Qiâs face in his arms. He suddenly found that Lei Qiâs every organ was attractive.
Bai Lixin was still fighting in front of him, but his mind would no longer linger on Bai Lixin. He was secretly and blatantly spying on the beautiful man in his arms.
Bai Lixin sighed at the sight of this.
Six months ago, he had been calling out âBrother Mo Yeâ and âBrother Mo Yeâ, but now he was acting like âyou do what you want, Iâll take the back seatâ.
âIt seems that you are quite sorry,â Lei Yao smiled a little grimly. He couldnât even disguise his usual stereotypical seriousness anymore, âWhat is sentinel Mo Ye sighing about?â
âAi, Iâm sighing. Itâs a pity you are all a bunch of soft rice eaters when you are all men. Ai, the hearts of the people are not old! â Bai Lixin tilted his head back and let out a long sigh as he smoothly finished off another giant insect that had scurried out.
Hu Xiong smiled, âBrother Mo Ye, tomorrow is on me.â
âHuh, thatâs more like it.â Bai Lixin gave a hmph, âWeâll see how you do tomorrow.â
On the next day, it was just as Hu Xiong had promised. He and Li Xin were fighting the monsters at the front.
Although Li Xin looked soft and weak, her spiritual power was surprisingly strong.
Hu Xiong was an S-ranked Sentinel, and Li Xin was also an S-ranked Guide.
Hu Xiongâs beast body was a mammoth, and the beast body alone was already ten meters tall. His ability was an ice pick. Because of the mammothâs huge size, the monster was nailed to a tree with an ice pick before it could fly off.
âThis Hu Xiong is not bad for a meat shield.â Bai Lixin thought to himself.
Early in the morning of the third day, they walked out of the jungle.
When they walked out, there were already a few pairs of sentinel-guides outside the jungle. Almost all of them had torn clothes, and some were even bleeding.
This was all inevitable when it came to the battlefield, and passing this test simply allowed everyone to get used to the battlefield in advance.
By dusk on the third day, almost everyone had walked out. Those who had successfully passed the test had already gone back to the base to rest and standby, leaving only the instructors waiting outside for the trainees who had not come out.
Finally, late on the third day, the last group walked out.
There were 586 pairs in the test, all of whom passed the test within the time limit!
â¦â¦â¦â¦..
When Lei Yao walked into the central control room, the radar device that is for detecting the zerg was constantly emitting a shrill alarm sound.
âHave the Zerg come to invade again?â Lei Yao saw the green signal emitting ripples on the large screen and saw a red dot that was continuously approaching the Diyang planet.
Li Sidan nodded, âYes, General Lei Yao.â
âTime, location, and number.â Lei Yao asked as he stared at the slowly approaching red dot on the screen.
âIt will arrive in our system in two days. The location is locked to the planet Diyang. The lifeforms in the craft are detected to be around 50,000. â
Lei Yao frowned slightly in relief, âA small scale attack? What is the purpose? Is it a test or something? â
Li Sidan shook his head, âThatâs not clear.â
âSince itâs on a small scale, Iâll try with Soul Flux and see if we can lure these bugs to R18 and change the location of the battle. If we canât, weâll rush back to the planet Diyang. Colonel Li, let us use this battle to put the new students who have just passed the test onto the battlefield l. There arenât that many enemies on the other side, so it is a rare opportunity to fight in real life. â
Li Sidan nodded, âYes, General Lei Yao.â
Lei Yao swiped the blue metal card in his hand on the main console, and it slowly opened up from the middle, with an object emerging from it.
Taking out the helmet from the main console, Lei Yao skillfully put it on his head.
âThe signal transmission system is intact.â
âThe energy supply is sufficient.â
âSignal transmitter ready.â
Lei Yao personally controlled the main console, and the calm and gentle electronic female voice read out the finished test results and finally asked, âDo you want to carry out a signal transmission?â
The light in Lei Yaoâs eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth slightly; âTurn on signal transmission.â
This whole base was a huge signal transmitter, and as soon as Lei Yaoâs words fell, the metal walls around them were constantly swimming with straight blue lines at a speed visible to the naked eye.
âSignal collection in progress, 1%, 5%, 10%, 50%, 100%, signal collection complete, the signal transmission will begin.â
Everyone in the room stared intently at the red dot displayed on the large screen as the electronic female voice alerted them.
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute, five minutes, ten minutes.
âItâs changed! The course has changed! â Li Sidan shouted, âThe course has changed!â
The red dot was slowly deviating from its previous course and was flying towards this R18 star!
This was Lei Yaoâs first attempt to mimic the mother zergâs signal to attract the worker bugs. That is, the worker bugs now believe the mother zerg was present on this planet.
These worker zerg have now long had a puzzled look on their faces, wondering at the existence of the mother zerg and the signal sent was a distress call.
The worker zerg were protective of the mother zerg by nature, and as long as it was a mother zerg calling for help, they would go out of their way to find it.
Seeing the zerg course change, Lei Yao took off his helmet, âTwo days later, Fierce Tooth Canyon. Colonel Li Sidan, assemble two thousand groups of sentinel-guides to go kill these zerg! â
â¦â¦â¦
When Lei Yao returned to his quarters, the lights were already off.
He carefully changed into his slippers, went into the washroom, and washed up a little before climbing into bed.
The moment he got into bed, Bai Lixin, whom he thought was asleep, burrowed into his chest with one movement and wrapped his arms around his waist.
Lei Yao smiled, âStill awake?â
Bai Lixinâs voice was slightly nasal, âwas thinking about something and stayed awake.â
âWhat are you thinking about thatâs so fascinating?â Lei Yao smoothly wrapped his arms around Bai Lixinâs back, enjoying the smooth texture in his hands.ââ¦â¦
â Bai Lixin seemed to say something in his arms, but the voice was too small for Lei Yao to hear, so he asked again, âWhat did you say?â
Bai Lixin buried his head deeper into Lei Yaoâs arms, âI said I was thinking of you.â
