A troop of over a dozen people advanced quickly, and coupled with the weapons they carried and the overwhelming killing intent surrounding them, the crowded crowd quickly made way for them.
Here, it was normal for soldiers to kill a few people as part of law enforcement...
The leading officer walked directly to Wen Yu and respectfully saluted him.
"Sir, the commander-in-chief has issued an order for me to escort you to the central control tower."
Wen Yu nodded expressionlessly, and with the three individuals behind him, followed the squad of soldiers as they pushed through the crowd.
...
After Wen Yu's group finally squeezed out of the crowded central square, another squad of soldiers brought Arthur and his companions to the square as well.
After ten days apart, they finally met again...
Of course, Wen Yu felt nothing special about it. He only thought that Arthur looked slightly thinner, and that the little girl Arthur was holding was very cute.
Meanwhile, Qin Tian appeared somewhat excited and directly walked over to Qin Shiyuan.
What followed was the usual dramatic reunion between siblings. After watching a minute of this cliché scene, Wen Yu could no longer help but say,
"Let's go, we should check on Lin Haifeng first."
After saying that, he signaled for the soldiers to continue leading the way.
...
They took the same route as before, but this time, within less than three minutes, several military vehicles arrived in front of Wen Yu's group.
"Long time no see."
Lan Bo jumped down from the leading military vehicle, smiling as he greeted Wen Yu.
Strictly speaking, Wen Yu and Lan Bo had only seen each other a few times in the sequence ranking battles, so they couldn't be considered familiar. However, as the identity of sequence nine, Lan Bo personally coming to greet them was quite a show of respect.
Wen Yu also smiled and casually asked, “How’s the fighting going down below?”
While arranging for the people behind Wen Yu to get into the vehicle, Lan Bo replied,
“We're still at a stalemate, but it’s not a big issue. Several large-scale attacks have been repelled, so I estimate the Beijing gathering point is fine; it’s just the other areas…”
While driving, Lan Bo chattered incessantly, wanting to share every detail about all the major gathering points in Huaxia.
Of course, Wen Yu was glad to listen—knowing more about such things could only be beneficial.
The military vehicle roared towards the towering central control tower as Wen Yu listened to Lan Bo’s chatter while observing the current situation in the Eternal Sky City.
Currently, the Eternal Sky City had gained quite a bit of popularity—mainly due to the military combat personnel and research staff. According to Lan Bo, all sequences could receive a house in the Eternal Sky City—not just those affiliated with the military, but all sequences!
Upon hearing this, a wave of frustration surged in Wen Yu’s heart...
It turned out Lin Haifeng was already in the Eternal Sky City, preparing gathering points for them.
As for Lin Haifeng's reasons for doing this...
Using a house to win over the sequences, regardless of whether they joined the military or not, those sequences would inevitably lend a hand when the Eternal Sky City was in trouble. It was simply an incredibly cost-effective deal.
...
While watching the scenery outside, Wen Yu continued to listen to Lan Bo's incessant chatter.
After a while, Wen Yu asked,
“What about Tang Haofei?”
“Brother Fei is stationed at the Beijing gathering point. I must tell you, your arrival here has helped…”
However, Lan Bo abruptly stopped mid-sentence, his expression awkward as he gave Wen Yu a bitter smile.
“Did I let something slip...?”
Wen Yu felt helpless; as the saying goes, “too many words lead to mistakes.” Lan Bo was indeed the kind of person who was a bit too blunt. To put it bluntly, he had just leaked a military secret.
This served as a reminder for Wen Yu—no wonder Lin Haifeng, that old fox, was not worried about him messing around in his base; it turned out there was trouble brewing that he was eager for Wen Yu to deal with...
