Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 69: A short separation is better than a new marriage

Views:

When he turned around, Shen Tingyu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing there, looking at him with a faint smile.

The sea breeze made his black hair flutter in the wind, and his eyes accompanied the sound of the waves behind him, making people feel the breath from the deep sea in a trance.

For a moment, it felt like being in a dream.

A look of surprise flashed across Xu Qingran's eyes.

Then he slowly stood up and walked towards the person who came without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shen Tingyu opened his hands slightly and sighed: "Boyfriend, you left me alone for so long, shouldn't you give me a hug as compensation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his dear boyfriend raised his fist and punched him.

The force of the attack was merciless.

Shen Tingyu: “…”

It was an expected result.

He met Xu Qingran's cold gaze, as if he was back to a long time ago, when he almost shot Xu Qingran in order to capture Minghai.

At that time, he was unable to fight back because he had exhausted his mental strength.

Now he is mainly -

Xu Qingran grabbed him by the collar and pulled him hard, then brought him in front of him and got very close to him, and said fiercely and arrogantly: "Shen Tingyu, try to fight back if you dare."

Shen Tingyu lowered his eyes.

Xu Qingran has a very similar temperament to him, cold and clear. When combined with his spiritual energy, it is hard not to be tempted.

He chuckled and replied in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't return it."

Xu Qingran paused, then punched him fiercely again.

Because he was so cooperative, I reduced the force by 1%.

So, the most confused white dog in the audience looked at the master it had just recognized, and caught a man who looked obviously more powerful than his master and beat him.

I felt proud of it immediately.

Although Xu Qingran really did take action, he did not beat the person to death.

After all, if he accidentally beat the man up, he would still be a little reluctant. And this is the only good-looking face, so it is not okay to disfigure it.

Shen Tingyu felt it, so even though his body was being beaten, the smile in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

He even thought that before beating him this time, Xu Qingran would actually drag him from the reef area to a flatter area nearby first, because he must be afraid of smashing his head.

Perhaps because the smile on his face was becoming more and more smug, Xu Qingran finally stopped.

She pressed the man to the ground, sat on him and stared at him for a few seconds, sneering: "Shen Tingyu, you just rely on the fact that I like you."

The man on the ground curled his beautiful eyes, subconsciously held the waist of the man on top with one hand, and slowly touched his jaw with the other hand. With a little force, he lowered his head slightly and looked at him, then said: "Xu Qingran, aren't you the same?"

He laughed softly, his tone gentle.

"You are the only one in this world who dares to hit me like this and let me not fight back."

He is the E-type who can go extremely crazy if he is not careful.

Xu Qingran was silent.

That was true, and he admitted that he had succeeded in pleasing her a little.

But I was still a little angry: "You resigned without saying anything, and you didn't even answer my calls."

After a pause, he said with a half-smile, "I thought you were going to quit being my boyfriend as well."

Shen Tingyu paused as he gently stroked the contours of his cheek, raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Would you like to hear my explanation first?"

Xu Qingran didn't respond.

It can be considered as tacit acceptance.

"I didn't resign. Jin Yi wouldn't let me."

Shen Tingyu said this when Xu Qingran helped him up from the ground.

He knew that Xu Qingran was in a bad mood these days.

There was no way. Even if it was just a temporary bond, he was inevitably affected, and he roughly knew the reason why Xu Qingran was sulking.

—After all, when he came down from the interview seat and found that his communicator was broken at the end of the Lyra war, he already felt that something was wrong.

So he quickly said, "I just want to scare Jin Yiying and Mu Ziyue."

After all, he had worked hard to climb to this position. Although it made no difference to him whether he had it or not, he would not give up easily, even if it was just to disgust Mu Ziyue.

Something happened at the Tianqin base, and Mu Ziyue was in a bad mood. She must have wanted to vent her anger on him, the thorn in her side.

So before Mu Ziyue found various excuses to deduct his achievements, he made a statement first. He just wanted to remind Mu Ziyue and let him see some facts clearly.

At this point, he was no longer a tool that he, as the commander of the Golden Wings, could manipulate at will. The achievements of his Golden Wings Battalion had long been closely tied to him.

I hope Mu Ziyue can begin to realize that there are many things that he just doesn’t want to do.

Otherwise, the position of commander-in-chief can be replaced by someone else.

Shen Tingyu added: "I didn't mean to ignore your call. My communicator is not working."

"It should be that it was accidentally smashed by the X-type devil of the Lyra family when we were fighting it later. I didn't pay attention at the time."

I just got a new one before coming to Tianlong.

At that time, I was thinking of giving Xu Qingran a surprise, and since the new communication system had not recorded Xu Qingran's communication frequency, I chose to come and see him directly.

Xu Qingran didn't know whether he accepted this explanation or not. After listening to it, he asked him, "So what are you doing now..."

If he hadn't resigned, how could he, the Golden Wing Admiral, go to the Tianlong faction governed by the Silver Dragon without saying anything to find him? Wasn't he afraid of being used as an excuse

Shen Tingyu smiled: "Golden Wing's management rejected my request to resign. They were worried that I was under too much pressure. In addition, I was injured when I fought hard to protect the Tianqin Base, so they gave me a long vacation."

"She said that as long as I am in good condition, I can come back anytime and the Golden Wing Battalion will always wait for me."

So, I used the excuse of taking vacation to look for someone across the galaxy.

Xu Qingran looked slightly different, and his eyes gradually became serious: "Are you injured?"

"Then why didn't you say it just now?" He was so harsh.

"Where are you injured?" As he said that, he lifted up Shen Tingyu's clothes and wanted to check the injuries on his body.

There was nothing visible on the abdomen except the abdominal muscles.

Xu Qingran's hands had been exposed to the wind for a long time, and they felt stimulatingly cool when he touched them.

Shen Tingyu didn't expect him to move so quickly. Before he could even say "it's done", he was touched by his cold palm and swallowed his words back.

Subconsciously, I grabbed his wrist, my eyes darkened: "Stop touching it."

"I don't want to do anything to you in the open air in broad daylight."

Xu Qingran remained silent, staring at his excellent boyfriend's abdominal muscles with envy and jealousy. After making sure there were no injuries, he clenched his fist and punched it hard with a moderate force.

With a blank expression, he asked him, "Do you want to do anything else weird?"

Shen Tingyu laughed and was about to reply when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow approaching them from the corner of his eye.

Then he stopped beside Xu Qingran's legs, looked up and looked at him with his sharp icy eyes.

Shen Tingyu: “?”

He just came here thinking of looking for Xu Qingran, but now he came to his senses and noticed that there was a creature that looked like a wolfhound following him.

Wen Qian's smile disappeared instantly.

The azure eyes gradually became cold as if in competition, especially after seeing that the other person had eyes very similar to his own.

"Why are you carrying me? Do you have other dogs?"

Shen Tingyu looked at Xu Qingran with eyes full of resentment.

For a moment, Xu Qingran didn't know whether to complain about him for comparing himself to a dog, or to complain about him for being jealous of a dog.

"Isn't it good?" He asked back, patting the white dog's head. "You're very busy anyway, so it's nice to have a dog as beautiful as you to keep you company when you're not around."

Shen Tingyu: “…”

Thinking about it this way, I might as well quit my job.

But if Xu Qingran really fired him, she would also fire him.

While he was feeling depressed, Xu Qingran had already walked around him and headed back towards the military camp.

As he left, he called out, "General Shen."

"Hmm?" Shen Tingyu responded in a muffled voice.

Xu Qingran, however, seemed not to hear and called out again: "General Shen."

Just as Shen Tingyu was about to ask, he suddenly saw the white dog that was originally standing in front of him wag its tail and follow him.

Her eyes were cold and indifferent, but she still obediently rubbed Xu Qingran's hand that was hanging by her side.

Xu Qingran tilted his head, his seductive eyes swept across Shen Tingyu and then retracted, and said to the white dog beside him: "The general is really good."

Shen Tingyu: “…”

I was so angry that I laughed again after a long time.

Of course Xu Qingran didn't really give the white dog such a name.

It was just that this white dog was too smart, and it was the only creature besides Shen Tingyu that could get along with him. He only had to start, and it knew what he was up to, and it cooperated very well.

After he walked a short distance away, Shen Tingyu noticed that he was lowering his head, with his shoulders trembling slightly as if he was laughing secretly, and then he realized that he was being teased by him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange sense of joy through the soul bond.

Like a spring breeze, it blew away the depression in his heart.

Inexplicably, the uneasiness I had felt over the past few days about this newly established relationship that would be separated for such a long time seemed to suddenly disappear.

One more dog is one more dog.

Shen Tingyu thought.

Anyway, the person is still his.

·

When Xu Qingran led Shen Tingyu into the East City camp, the scene that attracted everyone's attention appeared again.

Although they are not very sensitive to matters outside of the Tianlong system of the Kaian Empire, they are still relatively familiar with Shen Tingyu.

The main reason was that this rarely seen Admiral Jin Yi had only appeared in front of the news camera some time ago. Everyone still remembered his stunning appearance, and before they had forgotten him, he appeared in person. How could they not be shocked!

He immediately became more suspicious of Xu Qingran's identity.

Some people with wild imaginations began to speculate that he was the new colonel, but they were not sure what he was going to do. Some people also said that Shen Tingyu might have really resigned from the position of Jinyi and was going to join the Silver Dragon Battalion, or even come to work in their Tianlong system.

Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions.

Xu Qingran didn't care whether the guards of the East City Headquarters could guess his identity.

Anyway, the people in Dongcheng seemed to be easy to manage at the moment, and the military power was in his hands. With Adjutant Mao helping to supervise the training, everything went well. Except for his habit of verbally scolding the inactive colonel and smashing the venue, everything else was fine.

In the office, when Adjutant Mao saw a character that only existed on TV appear in front of him, he was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair.

He took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.

Only then was he sure that he was not seeing things, but that Shen Tingyu had really come!

He asked tremblingly, "Colonel Xu, may I ask what the commander of the Golden Wing Battalion has done for us in Nanzhou?"

Xu Qingran leaned against the door with his arms folded, not saying a word, only glancing sideways at Shen Tingyu beside him.

The latter smiled and replied: "Don't be nervous, I'm just here for a vacation."

Adjutant Mao: “…”

OK, OK, OK.

Of these two people, one is here to be a 'new recruit' and the other is here to take a vacation, right

So, for the whole afternoon, Adjutant Mao sat in his office and watched Xu Qingran chatting with the legendary E-type Admiral Shen.

His eyes were dazed by the content of the conversation.

Xu Qingran spread out the blueprint of Xicheng on the tea table and told Shen Tingyu about his next work plan.

He marked several areas with red circles: "I have asked people around me these past two days. These areas are where cults, poachers, human traffickers, and the two largest military camps in West City are concentrated."

Shen Tingyu asked him calmly: "Are you going to kick all these points?"

Xu Qingran remained calm and said, "Go and take a look. If they are all worthless people, kill them all."

Shen Tingyu: "Okay, you want me to help you?"

Xu Qingran: "You don't have to help me. Just go back to where you came from."

Shen Tingyu smiled and said in a very gentle tone: "No problem, I'm the best at killing people."

Xu Qingran nodded: "Don't let those who deserve to die die too easily, the action can be more brutal."

Adjutant Mao: “…”

Help, is this a conversation he can listen to

Is this what an official colonel and admiral of the Empire should say? What on earth does this new colonel want to do!

Xu Qingran didn't care about his reaction at all, as if she was particularly confident in him.

Before leaving the office with Shen Tingyu, he said to him: "By the way, Adjutant Mao, I have sent your email address to arrange some major tasks for the four cities in Shangnanzhou, as well as the goals for the new year."

"Please organize them and send them to the camps in each city."

"Tell them to remember to reply, and tell me if they don't comply or cooperate."

After Xu Qingran left, Adjutant Mao found the Shangnanzhou plan sent by Xu Qingran in his mailbox.

First of all, I was shocked by the colonel's ambition.

—He actually hoped to unify the armies of the four southern cities within a year!

He also hopes to retake at least half of the disaster-stricken areas in Upper South Continent within a year!

We also need to realize internet freedom throughout Shangnanzhou, build high-speed railways, introduce shopping malls and other places that are only available in other prosperous galaxies!

What's even more outrageous is that his ultimate goal is to take back the old Silver Dragon City that was lost to the Silver Dragon's rotten troops not long ago!

Adjutant Mao was so frightened that his glasses almost fell off.

I thought that young people nowadays are really arrogant. The first one alone is not easy to achieve, okay? Let's not talk about South City and West City. Just look at the group of rebels in North City. If Xu Qingran can really make them obey, he will just call him dad!

Xu Qingran didn't know that someone had set up a flag to adopt him as a son.

He left the building, filled up the car with gas, replenished the necessary items, and set off for West City with Shen Tingyu carrying a backpack.

Xu Qingran didn't want to just sit there, so he didn't let Shen Tingyu take over the driving job.

The car moved slowly forward.

The white dog was still lying in the back seat, slightly raising his head to admire the scenery outside the window.

The checkpoint we passed through this time was still West City District 19 - South City District 1.

The place has been cleaned up.

The guards were replaced by a new group of people, and everything seemed normal. They could be seen working at their posts from a distance.

Xu Qingran was still wondering whether Shen Tingyu would not be able to pass the checkpoint because he was too conspicuous, but when the car stopped and one of the guards walked to his car, he unexpectedly discovered that it was an old acquaintance.

The older guards were also surprised when they saw him.

I took off the cigarette that had fallen from my lips, blew out the smoke, and asked him, "Oh my God, Mr. Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Qingran looked at Chen Bin in front of him. He was once again wearing the Silver Dragon military uniform of a different rank and position.

He asked back: "Senior Chen Bin, this should be the question I want to ask you?"

He and Chen Bin seemed to have an inexplicable fate and would always run into each other in various occasions.

After not seeing him for a while, Chen Bin's face showed more signs of vicissitudes.

He sighed, "I can't help it. I'm old. And I'm just an ordinary A-level guard in the spirit pool class. I can no longer make a great contribution to the camp, so I was transferred to the Tianlong system last month."

He went to South City last month, which just happened to be the wrong time for him.

Chen Bin asked him again: "What about you? You can't be a new soldier here too?"

As he was talking, he happened to see Shen Tingyu, who was sitting in the vice seat. His eyes were wide open and his crow's feet were much lighter. "General Shen from the Golden Wing Battalion?"

"He is here to travel, just ignore him." Xu Qingran replied.

Then he told him: "I do have a job here."

Chen Bin pondered for a moment.

Judging from his expression, maybe he guessed something, or maybe not, but he just said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

Xu Qingran asked him again: "What do you think of your one month in Xicheng?"

"Would you mind telling me about the military situation here?"

Chen Bin smacked his lips, curled the corners of his mouth downward, and shook his head: "Not very good."

He lowered his voice and said, "It's mainly because the chief leader of West City, the lieutenant colonel, is not a very good person."

"Everyone knows that the colonel in Shangnanzhou doesn't care about anything. He only wants to compete with the biggest rebel army in the North City to show off his power. The border area of West City has been ignored for a long time, and the discipline of the army has become a mess. Taking advantage of the rebellion in the North City, the lieutenant colonel who led the army also occupied the land and became the king."

The Xicheng Army is divided into two categories.

One type is like the one Xu Qingran encountered before, who has no moral bottom line, doesn't want to do the right thing, and is only after benefits and profits. They cooperate with the local messy gangs, including poachers, and use their identities to give them convenience.

This type of military guards are mainly influenced by their leader, a lieutenant colonel. It is said that this lieutenant colonel was originally a well-known bully in West City. Before he entered the military, he relied on his double S-level mental power to walk sideways in West City and do all kinds of things that are not presentable.

Later, he found out that the place was to be governed by the military. Unwilling to be stepped on, he passed the exam to join the military department in West City. He eventually became a leader by cooperating with the evil people in West City and using his power to suppress others.

From then on, the military atmosphere in Xicheng became worse and worse.

The second category is guards like Chen Bin and the little mute who are ordinary and work honestly.

Most of them were local residents of West City, and the main reason for becoming guards was to protect their homes and resist the invasion of the devils. A small number of them were transferred here, and because they were influenced by the discipline of other star systems, they could not accept collusion with the military here, but since they could not defeat them, they could only choose to ignore it.

"I heard that in the past, they were a little more restrained." Chen Bin added, "But it is said that some time ago... about half a year ago? A very powerful mysterious person came to Xicheng."

"I don't know how powerful he is. I just heard from my colleagues last week that he was not afraid of the entire army and even beat their most powerful leader to the point where he could not take care of himself."

"He also has strong mental strength, and can kill any demon in the disaster area at will."

Chen Bin sighed: "You also know the nature of the people in Xicheng. They definitely respect the strong."

"The most important thing is, it would be fine if this strong man was a person of good character, but his behavior is even worse than that of the local evil people in West City!"

In the first few days after entering the military headquarters, I occupied the lieutenant colonel's office and comfortably served as the boss for a few days.

When he was in a bad mood, he would randomly select a disobedient soldier and kill him. It was not as simple as just killing him. It was said that the people guarding outside could hear the screams of the injured person, not to mention how terrifying it was.

After playing for a few days, the psychopath got bored and thought it was too much trouble to cooperate with them to clear out the group of demons, so he finally let the military go.

Soon after, it was put into the hands of the people.

There is an underground organization in West City, and all those who do illegal things are managed by a strong man called "Black Boss".

This gangster boss is said to be an E-type extremist. Even the military has to respect him, so his organization has always been able to dominate the West City. The residents here can only cry by themselves when their family members are kidnapped or harmed. After all, they have no money to leave and cannot fight back.

However, it is said that this gangster boss has never appeared since he was challenged to a fight by that powerful man.

It is unclear what the outcome was, but we only know that the fight was a victory for the stronger man.

"In a word, it's not good." Chen Bin said and shook his head.

"I've only been here a month, but I've seen a lot of weird things."

He shook his shoulders again: "What a pity, the Tianlong Empire doesn't care at all. They just want all the poor, rotten and useless people to be concentrated here. It would be best if all these natural disasters were killed by accident. Then they can openly ignore it and save a lot of resources."

"It would be great if someone could take care of it!"

Xu Qingran remained silent after hearing this.

Shen Tingyu sat in the passenger seat, deep in thought.

Half a minute later, Xu Qingran asked Chen Bin again: "So can we pass?"

Chen Bin said: "Under normal circumstances, it would be a bit troublesome given your identities."

As he said this, he winked at them and said, "But it's your lucky day to meet me today."

"Let's go." Chen Bin smiled and took another puff of cigarette. "It seems that wherever you go, there will be magical changes."

"I hope that this time, you can also change the situation of the Tianlong system."

After hearing this, Xu Qingran chuckled and turned his gaze back to the front, ready to move forward.

He said in a meaningful tone: "As long as some people are willing to cooperate."

Of course, if they don't want to, he will do the same as that lunatic and beat them until they are willing.

"Thank you." After leaving these words to Chen Bin, Xu Qingran drove away again.

As I watched the car leave, I could still see the white shadow in the back seat stand up, change his sitting position, and lie down again.

Chen Bin took another puff of his cigarette.

He probably didn't tell Xu Qingran that he was actually from North City as well.

He knew that the reason why most white dogs were the leaders of dog packs in the mountains was that they were targeted by the pack because of their special fur color since birth.

So they can only fight back, fighting their way up until they defeat all of their kind.

If you lose, you die.

If you win, you will be the strongest king among the dogs.

He was only in his twenties or thirties when he left North City to venture out into the world. At that time, he heard that a white wolfhound pup was born in the largest forest in District 9 of North City.

Eyes are ice blue.

I also heard that the white dog is particularly fierce.

Before it was one year old, it was already able to kill an adult wolfdog that was bigger than itself.

What happened to it afterwards… Chen Bin didn’t know either.

After all, with the tense situation in North City, he couldn't go back after leaving home to join the Silver Dragon Camp. When he was transferred back to Tianlong this time, he originally wanted to go back to his hometown to serve, but he was rejected outside the city gate. He could only turn to West City, which is closest to North City, and live a shabby life.

While puffing out smoke, the companions on the platform also came down.

Intentionally or unintentionally, I asked him, "Is this your old acquaintance? Why did you chat with him for so long?"

Chen Bin laughed: "Ah, yes."

"She's the child of my grandmother's cousin's son's cousin's aunt's daughter's daughter's daughter."

Curious companion: "…?"

·

It is winter in Shangnanzhou now and it is very cool outside, so Xu Qingran is used to opening the window to enjoy the natural cool breeze when driving.

After driving for a while, he realized that Shen Tingyu, who always chatted with him on the road, had not spoken since leaving the border station.

He tilted his head and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tingyu came back to his senses.

Tell him: "When I heard the description of the strong man by the old gentleman you were chatting with just now, I always felt that he reminded me of someone."

Xu Qingran laughed and replied, "Isn't this a coincidence?"

"I also thought of an old friend."

The gangster boss of the West City underground organization is type E.

The only person who can defeat Type E is probably a psychic of the same type, right? And this guy can fight an army alone, and his behavior is as cunning as a psychopath...

The only person I can think of is the wanted criminal named Ming Hai.

Just as Xu Qingran finished thinking, he heard Shen Tingyu's chuckle.

His tone was gentle and ambiguous: "Yes, it's the E-type who has a 60% compatibility with you."

Xu Qingran: “…”

This dog man is really narrow-minded.

Xu Qingran said frankly: "I can't help it. If he is a psychopath, I would probably be interested."

He just likes unusual things.

However, this 60% fit should mostly come from Minghai's wishes. He had a good impression of Minghai, but that was all, after all, his crazy ideas were slightly different from his.

Shen Tingyu responded with a melancholy tone: "It turns out that I acted too normal."

"If I had known, I would have imitated him and been a little more crazy."

Actually, it’s not that crazy before.

Shen Tingyu was still reminiscing when he heard Xu Qingran's voice with a smile: "Okay, whether you can earn more impression points from me depends on your performance in Xicheng next time."

What did Xu Qingran bring Shen Tingyu to Xicheng for

Of course, they came to go crazy together. If he didn't let this E-type who suppressed his nature every day have a good vent in such a good place to go crazy, he was afraid that he would become a psychopath like Minghai one day.

Therefore, in the next half month, West City welcomed two more crazy people... Oh no, two mysterious people.

The route planned by Xu Qingran was to first teach those cult members a lesson.

Especially since their bases are all over West City, from District 1 to District 26, it is just right for a tour around the city, and some underground organizations' hideouts can be wiped out along the way. As for the military... This is the current foundation of West City, and he decided to leave it for last.

We can take advantage of this period of time to borrow their manpower to clear out more demons.

Cults worship evil gods.

Their mysterious rituals usually take place at night, which makes it convenient for Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu to act.

It does not disturb others and can be done quietly.

Make the enemy defenseless.

For them, destroying the cult's lair is the easiest action.

Although these people had bodyguards and were armed, they were full of flaws in front of professional soldiers like Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu.

Anyway, they had no scruples when it came to these people with blood on their hands and heretical ideas. Most of the time, after they broke into the stronghold, they were able to rescue a few people from inside and send them home one by one.

During this period, they also happened to encounter a hideout for human traffickers who kidnapped children and women.

It was hidden very secretly under a grocery store. If it weren't for the white dog's sensitive detection, Xu Qingran might not have been able to find it.

By this time they had already busted several cult dens in the district.

Maybe they finally began to attract the attention of their "protectors", or maybe the human traffickers they killed were in secret cooperation with the authorities. They had just finished attacking another stronghold in the early morning of that day and were intercepted at the checkpoint of West City District 10-11.

There are twice as many guards on duty at the site as normal.

When their car entered the checkpoint, they were divided into two teams, one in front and one behind, blocking their advance and retreat.

The leading male soldier had a bird's nest-like hairstyle, squinted eyes, and his nose turned up as he shouted at them to get off the bus.

Xu Qingran did as he was told, still wearing his pure black mask on his face.

I gave the one with cartoon patterns to Shen Tingyu.

So when Shen Tingyu came down, the tall boy, nearly 1.9 meters tall, had a funny mask of a little monster sticking out its tongue on his face.

It was a bit awkward, and made him look a little "friendly" and easy to bully.

"Hiss, I've worked in West City for thirty or forty years. I've been to every checkpoint and I know everyone here."

"But why do you two look so unfamiliar to me?"

In a messy place like Xicheng, the residents don't live a rich life and most of them make a living by farming.

People like Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu have the temperament of noble gentlemen. After a few glances, you can tell that they are definitely from other places.

The man continued, "I heard that two unruly guys came to West City recently and smashed several important places in our West City."

He looked at the two of them, and didn't find the same wildness as Minghai in them. He sneered and said, "I say, you two, are you planning to imitate our brother Hai and fight against West City?"

To be honest, their brothers in the military are still a little dissatisfied with Minghai.

But there was no one in the entire camp who could defeat that desperate psychopath, and he was an E-type, so they had no choice but to accept it.

Type E is so rare. There is a gangster boss and Ming Hai in Xicheng, which is already a lot.

Everyone knows that most of the E-types in the empire are in the Evil Tower. He doesn't believe that in the past six months, there could be any more E-types coming to a broken place like West City to cause trouble!

Xu Qingran lazily leaned against the side of the car, and didn't even ask Bai Quan to get out of the car. He asked back, "We didn't smash any regular places, so it shouldn't have anything to do with your military, right?"

"It's impossible that you are still cooperating with those evil cults and human trafficking organizations?"

The man laughed: "That's why I say you outsiders don't understand anything."

"You only look down on our shabby West City, but you don't know how much benefit this shabby place can bring us. In this lawless place in the empire, how can a large group of us survive until now without relying on other resources?"

Even if it is a cult, it does not prevent bigwigs from other galaxies from secretly investing and supporting it.

Poaching animals or kidnapping people is fine, there is a market demand. And places like Tianlong where the Empire hardly intervenes in governance are perfect places to run some illegal underground industries.

Most people who go along with the bad stuff don't think there's anything wrong with it.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. As long as he can survive and make his life better, sacrificing others or doing some minor illegal things is nothing in their eyes.

Xu Qingran scanned them from head to toe again and asked, "Then I'm curious, if you can get enough military resources now, I can pay you normally and provide you with the food and daily necessities you need for life."

"Will you continue to defend those immoral causes, or will you be a disciplined soldier who works hard to fight against foreign enemies?"

Among those who were questioned on the field, perhaps some had hesitated for a second.

But in the end, they all showed contempt and sneered.

"What are you talking about in your sleep?"

The squinting boy smiled and said, "Just think of it as you talking in your sleep."

"But how many of us joined the military to defend our country? Only the fools in other galaxies controlled by the Empire would really take this conservative belief seriously, right?"

As he spoke, the bird-nest-headed man narrowed his eyes, grasped the long-handled rifle in his hand, pointed it at Xu Qingran and sneered: "I joined the army just to be able to shoot and kill people like you who I don't like at times like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill on his neck.

A cold male voice came from behind him: "Who allowed you to treat him like this?"

He hardly had time to react before the blade at his neck easily cut through his S-level mental defense, slicing his throat with one blow, leaving him no chance to shoot.

The soldiers around him reacted even later and abruptly withdrew their attention from Xu Qingran in front of them.

They were surprised to find that the other boy, who hadn't said a word since getting off the bus, had come up behind them without them noticing. If he hadn't taken action, they wouldn't have even noticed his approach!

He kicked them with such force that it felt like a gust of wind.

The chest was hit and the ribs were instantly shattered by the extremely restrained force, and the broken horns pierced their internal organs painfully.

Looking at the tall man with a calm temperament, the spiritual power glow under his eyes was actually a faint scarlet.

This is a characteristic only possessed by Type E extremists!

Seeing that the situation was not right, the other team on the other side of the pass picked up their weapons and prepared to fight back. Some people with guns aimed at Shen Tingyu who was fighting with several people on the opposite side, ready to find an opportunity to attack.

However, the direction the gun was aimed at was quickly blocked by another dark figure.

Xu Qingran swung the spiritual knife in his hand, held the handle firmly, and smiled at the gunman: "Don't target the wrong person."

"Your target is me."

The knife is just a cover.

While the other party was looking up in surprise, Xu Qingran had already grasped the mental gun with his other hand when they were not noticing.

He raised his hand, and a thin beam of mental power hit the other person's forehead directly, killing him instantly.

Xu Qingran sneered.

He even wanted to launch a sneak attack.

—Don’t you see who is protecting that man named Shen
