Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 80: Breakthrough

Views:

The night is quiet.

The only sound around was the sound of cars flashing their lights.

Faced with the serious matter of Adjutant Mao being kidnapped, Xu Qingran held the phone and laughed.

Chen Bin subconsciously turned to look at him.

Xu Qingran didn't sound anxious at all, and only asked: "What did they say?"

"They said that if you want to get Adjutant Mao back, you have to use military funds in exchange, otherwise they will kill him."

Xu Qingran smiled and said, "Okay, let them kill the hostages."

On the other side of the phone: “… ?”

Xu Qingran: "The delivery of military supplies to Beicheng has caused a lot of suffering to the brothers in the camp. As our adjutant of Shangnanzhou, Adjutant Mao defended our bottom line with the death of one man. He will definitely be proud of this."

"If it was me who was arrested today, I would advise you the same thing."

-After all, if this happened, the people who captured Xu Qingran would be the ones to die, and such a cruel thing could not be seen by his subordinates.

The staff on the other end of the phone seemed stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Then Xu Qingran chuckled: "Adjutant Mao is just going home, he won't die."

"Just do what you need to do, and don't worry about the rest."

After saying that, Xu Qingran hung up the phone without saying whether he wanted to go and rescue people.

The car slowly drove back onto the road.

However, he still turned and headed towards the area leading to the north city.

Chen Bin, who was sitting in the vice-chair, saw him bypass the intersection leading to his accommodation and asked, "Colonel, won't you let me go back to the barracks first?"

Xu Qingran didn't look at him, with a half-smile on his face: "Isn't Mr. Chen from North City? Since you are going there anyway, why not take you back to your hometown?"

Chen Bin was about to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but he slowly added, "Besides, it should be more convenient for you to report the news to the North City Guards if you talk to them face to face, right?"

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little tense.

Chen Bin hesitated for a long time, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Qingran added: "You're welcome. It's on the way."

“…” Chen Bin could only laugh awkwardly.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Colonel Xu, when I first saw you in District 13 of Hongcheng South, I felt that you were a rare talent. You will definitely shine and stand at the top of the crowd in the future."

Xu Qingran curled the corners of his mouth slightly, chuckled and said nothing.

Chen Bin shamelessly said, "Colonel Xu, you see, we are so destined to meet. We have met so many times, and I have always been devoted to you, right?"

Xu Qingran then responded nonchalantly: "I know."

"Otherwise, how can you still sit next to me now?"

Chen Bin stopped talking.

—Oh, why can’t I hide anything from this child

·

"Hey, time to get up!"

The sound of splashing water was accompanied by shouting.

This startled a black bird on an old tree outside the military tent, which flapped its wings and flew away.

In the military tent.

The stainless steel basin was thrown away and fell to the ground with a clang.

The man tied in the corner opened his eyes with wet hair. The high-power myopia glasses on his face were lost in the process of turning. He could only squint and stare at the blurry figure that kept shaking in front of him.

There's still a pain in the back of my head.

It took Adjutant Mao a long time to realize that he had been kidnapped.

The North City reconnaissance team took advantage of Xu Qingran's absence and followed the same method, trying to sneak into the camp and steal military supplies.

Their impression of Dongcheng’s military defense was still that it was loose in the past, and they had sneaked in many times before.

But they didn't expect Xu Qingran to have guessed all the possible routes they could take to sneak in, and even deployed secret defenses again to create the illusion that the situation was the same as before. Even though Beicheng chose the most familiar and hidden route, they were still caught in an ambush by the Dongcheng army.

There was a conflict between the two sides.

Adjutant Mao happened to be nearby. He rushed over after receiving the news. Just in time, the people in Beicheng recognized his identity and took him away as a hostage during the chaos.

It’s so unfair.

Adjutant Mao was just like him, thin and small in appearance. Apart from having a slightly nicer title of adjutant, his combat value was not very good. In addition, he was already in his 50s and had not participated in military training for many years. After being abducted, he had no ability to fight back and could only let the people of Beicheng take control of him.

Chen Jianguang had met this adjutant who had been in Shangnanzhou for nearly twenty years.

He pulled a stool and sat in front of him, saying, "Adjutant Mao, we are old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

"You guys in the headquarters can't be so partial to one and ignore the other. Once you get the good resources, you won't care about the life and death of our North City."

Adjutant Mao said calmly, "As long as you in Beicheng take the initiative to express your attitude, you can also have those things."

"It was Yinlong who wronged us first. Why should Beicheng take the initiative to ask for this?" Chen Jianguang said angrily, and then laughed at the people in the corner, "Adjutant Mao, don't forget that it was you who first agreed with us Beicheng to work together to overthrow and kill every colonel in Shangnanzhou."

"Why are you acting like a loyal servant now?"

Adjutant Mao pursed his lips, his baby face expressionless.

Chen Jianguang was sharpening his knife as he spoke, his clanging movements seeming somewhat threatening: "It's been a long time since you brought any news to us in Dongcheng."

In fact, the four cities of Shangnanzhou shared the same hatred for the enemy before Xu Qingran came.

Dongcheng is headed by Adjutant Mao, who is responsible for secretly transmitting news from outside the city and the movements of senior officials to Beicheng. The previous colonels always suffered a big setback at Beicheng's hands and were treated so badly, thanks to Adjutant Mao's help in coordinating internal and external strategies.

However, after the new colonel came, Adjutant Mao delivered messages to them less frequently.

I didn't even see him do anything to the colonel, and he still allowed him to live such a prosperous life.

"You have so many spies, you can make a difference with me in Dongcheng," said Adjutant Mao.

Chen Jianguang snorted coldly: "We spies don't know about military supplies!"

"I didn't know about the military supplies either." Adjutant Mao said indifferently, "I thought he was really going to quit, but who knew he would come back with so many things."

Even when he was tied up and thrown into the enemy camp, he did not panic, and his attitude was as relaxed as if he was back home.

Compared to his usual timid, weak and easy-going appearance, he is like two completely different people.

Chen Jianguang looked skeptical and didn't believe it completely. He asked him, "Didn't you say that if Silver Dragon sends a new colonel this time, you'll kill him ruthlessly?"

"It's only been a short time, and you've not only helped him secure his position, but you've also almost unified South Continent!"

Adjutant Mao explained calmly: "If you weren't here, you wouldn't know how hard he was to kill."

These words come from the bottom of my heart.

Which colonel burns down his own office as soon as he arrives

Even if there were some hidden weapons inside, they were destroyed by him.

He didn't stay in the East City Military District, but ran around all day long, causing trouble wherever he went. All the people in the South City and the West City combined couldn't kill him, so what could he, an adjutant with a little bit of brains, do? Even if he was assigned some people, they couldn't beat him.

Speaking of using a little trick to drug someone, Xu Qingran is a very vigilant person.

There was no opportunity to take action in the Dongcheng camp.

This was not the first time that Chen Jianguang heard from others how great Xu Qingran was.

He curled his lips and compromised: "You are still the adjutant after all. Can't you use your power to get some resources for North City? We don't want to fight and kill. Once we get what we want, we will continue to protect this place for Silver Dragon."

Chen Jianguang stared at Adjutant Mao's eyes for a while, then gritted his teeth and reminded him: "Besides, you were originally-"

Adjutant Mao interrupted, "You're overthinking it."

"I had this power before because those colonels didn't want to be in charge. But now Xu Qingran doesn't trust anyone, and the highest command is in his hands."

And he is an extremely cruel and ruthless person.

If he were caught doing such a thing, his head would probably fall to the ground like the lieutenant colonel in Xicheng.

Thinking of this, Adjutant Mao suddenly smiled.

When he looked up again, he said to Chen Jianguang: "Besides, I didn't continue to bring news to Beicheng because I quite approve of him as a colonel."

"All I want is a leader who can contribute to Nanzhou. I don't care what his personality is or what his methods are. As long as he can achieve my desired goals, I don't care even if he is a psychopath."

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen, don't you North City Army Guards think so?"

Looking at the frail Adjutant Mao without his glasses, he looked less childish, and a hint of the sharpness that only adults can show in his eyes.

Adjutant Mao crossed his legs, adjusted his sitting position, and said, "Besides, the White King has recognized him as a psychic, so it is even more impossible for me to do anything to him."

"You should know that this is the rule of our people."

There is another little-known fact about Adjutant Mao.

It should be said that this is something that most people don't know. He was born in North City, and his family is a descendant of the royal family of North City. When he was young, he successfully entered the military academy in the Silver Dragon Fairy Department and left his hometown.

Not long after I left, I heard that a rebellion had occurred in the north city.

It was learned that he later found an opportunity to return to Nanzhou, but did not return directly to Beicheng. Instead, he had been lurking outside as an official of Silver Dragon. He controlled the movements of most of the troops in Upper Nanzhou, observed the actions of officials for the Beicheng Army Guard, and cooperated with them to drive people away and protect Nanzhou.

There is no royal family in North City anymore.

But ever since their ancestors offended the dog pack and regained trust with the pack, the rule among the native people of North City is to respect those chosen by the wolfhounds, and to absolutely obey those recognized by the King of Dogs.

The probability of the latter occurring is extremely low.

Generally, in their North City, they are the great elders or wise men who are the objects of respect, and people outside the city have never had such a white dog. So when he saw Xu Qingran with a white dog, he was extremely shocked.

That is the largest mountain in their northern city, and the leader of the Tianguang Mountain dog pack.

It is also very special. It not only subdued the dog pack of Tianguang Mountain, but also beat up all the dog pack leaders in the 26 districts of North City. It is the big boss among the wolfhounds in North City, and the locals call it "White King".

Chen Jianguang was also surprised: "White King? Didn't they say it was missing?"

"Could it be that this colonel used some trickery to force it to establish a link with him?"

Adjutant Mao: "No, a mentally unstable Type E came to West City a while ago. He teamed up with poachers from West City to capture the White King. I heard that it would rather die than obey, so they locked it up and trained it for several days."

"I don't know how Xu Qingran established the contract with the White King, but he doesn't seem to know the White King's identity yet."

Chen Jianguang scratched his hair in annoyance.

I thought to myself, Xu Qingran not only has military supplies as bargaining chips, but now he also has the Dog King by his side. Who is this guy and why is he so awesome

"Hey, but you know, if our North City guards suddenly bow to this Silver Dragon officer..."

Chen Jianguang, a sturdy man, looked very embarrassed when he spoke.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that what his brothers and Adjutant Mao said made sense.

But after so many years, it was always difficult to say whether they belonged or not, not to mention that they had many brothers in other camps who didn't know much about Xu Qingran. Without having witnessed his strength with their own eyes, there would definitely be a crisis of trust.

Adjutant Mao pondered and offered an idea: "I think Nancheng and Xicheng will either be beaten up by Xu Qingran or participate in his work command and be impressed by his strength."

"I can act out a play with you."

"If both parties take a step back at the right time, cooperation will be a piece of cake, right?"

On the path in front of the checkpoint of District 22 in North City.

A silver-black off-road vehicle slowly approached.

Then stop and turn off the engine.

The checkpoints in Beicheng are different from those in other urban areas.

Due to the special characteristics of the residents in their city and the terrain, when the Northwest Pass station was built, the entrances and exits of the two cities were separated. Therefore, there is usually a mountain road or a mountain tunnel between the two stations.

It was just getting dark.

The path outside the 22nd District Gate was surrounded by barren mountains and ridges on both sides, and it was very quiet. The only light source was the pale light above the 22nd District Gate in the North City. Looking up, you could see moths and small insects flying towards the light.

A cold wind blew.

The grass, taller than a person, rustled as if something was running quickly past.

Xu Qingran glanced sideways, smiled softly, and then slowly walked towards the place with a big sign of North City District 22.

This pass is also very interesting, it is embedded in the hills.

The door of Guankou Station was tightly closed.

There is a palm-sized button next to the door. Judging from the small words underneath, it seems to function like a doorbell.

Xu Qingran reached out and pressed it, even four or five times in a row.

As expected, no one answered.

He listened again.

I am not sure if there are any rotating staff at the border station.

While hesitating, a small window high up on the wall near the checkpoint opened.

The guard in the small space was wearing sunglasses at night - probably sunglasses with night vision function. Ku Ku asked him: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Xu Qingran raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Nanzhou, Colonel?"

"I heard that you captured my adjutant a few days ago, so I came here to see if he was doing well, and by the way, I wanted to go to the North City for a stroll."

Of course, the North City Guards had heard about this.

But he automatically understood Xu Qingran's words as a request for help, and asked him according to the rules: "Our lieutenant colonel said that if you want to ask for help, you have to exchange it with supplies!"

"Don't even think about entering our North City without supplies!"

Xu Qingran, the more someone asked him to do something, the less he wanted to obey them.

It is impossible to exchange military supplies for personnel.

He asked again in a gentle voice: "Are you really not going to open the city gate for me? If not, don't regret it."

The guard upstairs: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'll give you something in exchange for someone else's!"

Xu Qingran stood there for a few more seconds.

Turned around and left.

The guards on the pass tower were stunned.

I thought, why doesn't this colonel stop struggling

He shouted anxiously: "You, you don't regret it! If you don't exchange it for military funds, we will kill your adjutant!"

Xu Qingran turned his back to them and walked slowly back towards the car. His voice, neither loud nor soft, was carried by the wind to the heights above: "Kill him."

"There are plenty of people at Silver Dragon for me to choose from. I don't care."

The cold tone makes it hard to tell whether it is true or false.

How could what Xu Qingran said be false

In this world now, except for Shen Tingyu, he really doesn't care about anyone's life or death. Most of the time, it's just out of morality, out of compliance with the rules of this world, and... boredom and looking for excitement.

The guard on night duty at the checkpoint station was stunned.

He was thinking, how come this is different from the rumors he heard? Wasn't it said that the new colonel was a brave and resourceful philanthropist who cared about the people and brought benefits like nectar to all the soldiers and residents of Nanzhou

"get off."

Xu Qingran returned to the car and opened the door. He did not get into the driver's seat immediately, but asked Chen Bin to leave the car.

Chen Bin was puzzled, but since he couldn't beat him, he could only come down obediently.

Xu Qingran then got into the car, started the engine, turned on the headlights, and the sound of the accelerator made a series of noises as he stepped on it.

Its momentum is like a beast ready to pounce.

Seeing that he had no intention of turning around, Chen Bin immediately understood what he wanted to do.

Both eyes widened instantly.

Xu Qingran mobilized his mental power.

The light that lit up beneath his eyes melted the coldness in his eyes and slowly brought up a scornful smile.

The next second, the domineering off-road vehicle rushed straight towards the city gate.

The guards guarding the pass were also horrified.

—Is this colonel crazy?!

How could anyone force his way in like he did!

In order to serve as a barrier when necessary, the materials used for the gates are generally very sturdy.

Although the conditions in a backward place like Nanzhou are not as good as those in other star systems, it is not something that an ordinary military vehicle can break through, right? Even if there is the blessing of spiritual power, it must be... How powerful a force must be to break through

Also, if you use your physical body to charge like this, even if you can really crash into the car, you will definitely get hurt!

In a short period of time, countless complaints ran through the minds of the guards guarding the city.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary cars.

But Xu Qingran's car was an extra reward customized by Silver Dragon for him. Mo Chengfei supervised and followed up the whole process. It was made of the best materials, so it was not as easy to disintegrate as ordinary cars. Moreover, it was equipped with attack functions. As long as it was used with mental power, it could achieve a certain "indestructible" effect.

At most, it will be scrapped after hitting this door.

·

A loud bang alarmed other people at the checkpoint.

The guards on duty who were taking a nap in the lounge were awakened instantly, stood up, grabbed their weapons tightly, and asked their companions with sleepy eyes: "Is there an earthquake? Is there an earthquake?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was another violent impact outside.

The floor under my feet was shaking slightly, and even tiny pieces of sand and gravel were rolling down from the roof of the simply built lounge.

Someone adjusted his loose military cap and said, "From the noise, it seems to be coming from outside the Great Wall?"

"Is there another alien monster invasion?"

"Is it a Type X demon?!"

"What if Type X really comes? We have to run!"

A few people were so scared that they rushed out with weapons in their hands, and just happened to run into the brothers on duty who were coming down from upstairs.

He lifted the sunglasses with night vision function to his forehead, and his two single eyelids kept blinking nervously: "Listen to me, there's a desperate guy outside..."

Just as he finished speaking, the heavy door that was tightly closed at the entrance was slammed hard again.

The old metal door had been dented, as if only a thin layer of it was still struggling.

When several guards from Beicheng were running out of the lounge, Xu Qingran was hit for the last time.

The solid door was eventually broken by his tenacity.

Fragments of metal flew everywhere, scattering in every corner of the checkpoint. The tightly closed gate was attacked by external forces, and the alarm light on the top lit up, flashing, making people panic.

The silver-black car stopped in the middle of the station's passage. The headlights had been shattered in the impact, and even the front shell of the car was smashed beyond recognition, twisted and wrinkled, and smoke continued to come out of the hood.

Although the car successfully crashed in, no part of the car was intact.

In the extremely quiet environment around, you can still hear the dripping sound of liquid leaking from under the car.

The guards at the District 22 checkpoint were all shocked by this unprecedented scene.

With a slight click, the car door was kicked open from the inside.

Everyone subconsciously raised their guns and pointed them in the direction of the car.

A man with slightly curly brown hair got out of the driver's seat. His face was scratched by several shallow wounds from the debris sprayed from the car's windshield and windows, and there were several more serious bloody pits on his forehead.

But the worst part was his hands.

Perhaps because he was stubborn and tried to stand up to the door of the checkpoint, he was accidentally pierced by a sharp object in the car, leaving a deep wound. When he came out, the injured hand was still hanging in a slightly dislocated position, and dark red blood flowed down his arm, soon dripping into a puddle on the ground.

The guards gasped.

Just looking at it makes me feel pain for the people getting out of the car.

But the person who was injured had an unusually calm expression.

He looked up at them, chuckled, then used his other hand to twist his dislocated hand a few times and easily reconnected it.

Late at night, in order to save electricity, only a few small lights were on in the passage of the border station.

In such a situation, the visual impact caused by Xu Qingran's action was particularly intense.

A cowardly guard's hand shook and he accidentally shot him.

The mental beam rushed towards the injured person quickly, and several military guards on the platform who were on guard were also startled.

—They haven’t planned to attack anyone yet!

However, what they worried about did not happen.

Xu Qingran was not hit by the mental attack. To be more precise, the beam of light was disintegrated by his high-level mental defense before it hit him. The attack as thick as a water pipe hit his defense, which was as fragile as an egg hitting a stone.

Xu Qingran looked at them with a smile that was somewhat terrifying even though he was covered in blood.

The military guard who had just communicated with him was so angry that he pointed at him and then at the gate he had broken: "You, you broke our city gate. If something happens or we encounter an invasion, and there is no city gate to block it, how will you be responsible?!"

So horrible.

Even a Class I demon couldn't break through such a heavy and solid door. What on earth did this guy use to break it open? Also, why can he stand there like nothing happened? With so many injuries on his body, doesn't he feel any pain? !

Hearing this, Xu Qingran smiled again.

In a contemptuous tone, he said, "Didn't I remind you? If you don't open the door for me, don't regret it no matter what happens."

He said as he walked towards them.

His steady pace and attitude frightened the guards who thought he was a ghost and they took a step back subconsciously. Someone took advantage of the chaos and fired another shot at him, but the attack still failed to hit him.

Xu Qingran curled his eyes and reminded: "I have a bad temper."

"Since you don't listen to me, you can only learn from Xicheng and take a lesson."

About half an hour passed.

An intact off-road vehicle drove out of the station in District 22 of North City and headed towards the district.

The car model is older and looks like it has been used for quite a few years, but its performance is still there.

Chen Bin, the co-pilot, looked back at the checkpoint that was getting farther and farther away from them and shuddered silently.

How terrible! How unlucky he was to see Xu Qingran beating someone up and then stealing their military guards' car.

Xu Qingran simply treated the wound on his body and continued on his journey as if nothing had happened.

Chen Bin didn't dare to speak much along the way until he came to his senses and realized where they were now. After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "Colonel Xu, are you sure you want to go in from Area 22?"

There was worry in his tone.

When Chen Bin came, he mentioned the organizational structure of Beicheng to him.

In addition to the military, there is also a combat group from the North City civilians. Most of them are composed of natives who have established a connection with the North City Wolfhounds, and their average mental strength is also good. Although they are not military guards, their combat capabilities are equally strong.

Some of them obtained weapons that could be used with mental power through other channels, while others used ordinary weapons.

In the North City, they perform police duties, punishing evildoers and eliminating traitors. They will also bear the brunt of invading foreigners and protect the public safety. If the North City guards cannot take care of emergencies in the residential area, they will patrol and expel them.

Yeah, that sounds good.

But they are only good to the people in the North City. As capable ordinary residents, they are arrogant and particularly xenophobic. That is, they cooperate and compromise with the military guards. If they encounter those who are not members of the North City military guards and trespass, they will target them.

Therefore, even the North City Guards have to give some respect to these indigenous people.

District 22 is the area where their organization's main base is located. It is full of their people. Xu Qingran's outstanding appearance can be seen at a glance whether he is an outsider. He is still wearing the uniform of Colonel Silver Dragon. If he is recognized, he will probably be in trouble.

Xu Qingran didn't care: "This is the closest place to the North City Headquarters. I don't want to waste time and money taking a detour."

Chen Bin stopped trying to dissuade him.

The sky gradually brightened.

Perhaps it was because Xu Qingran had this strange protagonist buff aura, and every situation that he worried about would happen to him in the worst possible way.

The car was stopped on its way across District 22.

The interception location was in the suburbs, with only a winding road with no end in sight and large tracts of forest. From time to time, wolf-like howling sounds could be heard coming from inside.

The group of people came by car and surrounded Xu Qingran and Chen Bin from the front, back, left and right.

The person in the convertible blocking the road in front of him leaned over the hood of the car to look at him for a few times and immediately confirmed: "Are you from out of town?"

Xu Qingran glanced at them.

In addition to the humans who seemed to be residents of the North City, there were also several large wolfhounds around. Except for the color of their fur, they looked very similar to his white dog.

Chen Bin recognized the group of people and was about to use his identity as a native of North City to lobby them.

Before he could even open his mouth, Xu Qingran next to him said, "Yes, he's from the outer city, the new colonel in the East City camp."

There was a brief silence all around.

"Ha, you are the new colonel?" The person blocking their car opened his eyes wide, as if he heard a joke.

"Colonel, it's fine if you're from another city, but you dare to come into our North City with such brazenness."

"Don't you know what we did to the previous colonel? He probably still doesn't dare to wear red spotted underwear until now, hahahahaha!"

Xu Qingran was not nervous either.

He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel back and forth, just watching them for fun.

Perhaps his reaction was too boring, and the laughter around him became a little dry.

They soon quieted down.

Looking at Xu Qingran in the car, he was so calm as if he was the one in control of the situation.

This kind of superior and arrogant feeling always feels provocative to the people in North City.

Chen Bin saw the opportunity and spoke: "My dear brothers, the colonel is mainly here to send an old man like me back to North City."

"I have a Beicheng ID card. The people of Beicheng are like one family. For this reason, please ask him to send me, an elderly person who has been homeless for many years, back to my hometown to have a look."

The men glanced at him.

Although they had no intention of letting Xu Qingran go easily, they still used an excuse because the timing was right: "Old sir, it's not that I don't respect the elderly and love the young, but I don't want to give in to you."

"If this had been a normal day, there might have been room for negotiation."

"But you came at an inopportune time today. This is the day of our annual 'civil war'."

This month at the beginning of summer every year is called the "Dog Month" by the residents of the North City.

Because this month, they can clearly see the constellation Canis Major in the sky. As people who live together with the dogs that are like the guardian beasts of the North City, they attach great importance to this sacred month and hold various related activities and sacrifices.

The organization also designates this day of each year as Civil War Day.

The selected people in District 22 who have established a master-pet relationship with a wolfhound will gather together to compete and fight with each other, and then the strongest person of the year will be selected. The winner will become the leader of the organization in the new year with his wolfhound.

There is an unwritten rule in District 22 on this day every year.

That is, if they discover that someone other than North City has entered the area on that day, that person must engage in a group fight with the group of people who caught him there.

If you win, you will be released.

If you lose, you will be thrown out of North City in a very humiliating way.

Xu Qingran raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Apart from not risking your life, it sounds like the rules of the Evil Tower Arena are quite similar.

Chen Bin held his forehead with his hand.

It looked like he was worried about Xu Qingran, but in fact he was worried about these children.

Yes, Chen Bin spoke in a hurry just now, not because he was worried about Xu Qingran.

He wanted to save these people's lives!

Alas, they had no idea what kind of ruthless character they were about to face.

Especially since this child is the one favored by the White King... Speaking of the white dog, why didn't Xu Qingran bring it with him when he came to a place like North City

Chen Bin was wondering and thinking, but Xu Qingran on the other side had already agreed: "Duel? No problem."

He even said, “But I don’t want to fight with you guys who are here right now.”

A group of people thought he was scared and were about to mock and refuse, but he continued: "I want to go to your main base in District 22 and fight with everyone who participates in this duel."

North City Wolfhound Guard: “… ?”

What the hell? Is this colonel crazy? He can't even win a simple fight like this, and he actually wants to challenge their base!

Xu Qingran also asked: "If I participate in your civil war, does it mean that as long as I win first place, I will be your boss for the next year starting from today?"

Everyone from the North City Wolfhound Guard: "... !!"

So arrogant!

What a big tone!

This made the young man who was blocking his car laugh out loud.

He clapped his hands and nodded: "Okay, okay, I haven't seen someone as arrogant as you in a long time!"

"It's a rare opportunity to entertain the brothers and sisters in the base, so why not?"

"But don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. Everyone in our base has signed a master-pet contract with the guardian beast of North City. As long as we fight within the range of their activities in North City, our spiritual power will be improved."

"Since you took the initiative to ask, don't blame us for being unfair when you lose."

As Xu Qingran listened, the smile in his eyes deepened.

He replied: "That couldn't be better."

The members of the escort team did not know the deeper meaning of Xu Qingran's words and only thought he was being arrogant.

I was so angry that I could only keep saying: "Okay, okay!"

"I'll take you there now!"

The off-road vehicle that drove out from the checkpoint station drove towards the base camp on the mountain surrounded by a bunch of convertibles.

Inside the car, Chen Bin once again held his forehead, shook his head and sighed.

What a sin.

·

"You said, he is the new colonel of Shangnanzhou who angered Lieutenant Colonel Chen and his men?"

In District 22 of North City, the Wolfhound Guards are in their base camp on the top of the hill.

Sitting on a large chair covered with a blanket, the middle-aged man stared at the handsome young man in the distance who was being watched by the crowd, and touched his chin thoughtfully.

He was the current leader of the North City Wolfhound Guards, named Di Yue. Lying next to him was also a white dog with dark grey eyes, which kept scanning the surroundings of the camp with sharp eyes, alert to any unusual movements.

Di Yue was a rare person who was chosen by one of the wolf kings of the dog pack in North City, and he happened to be the dog king of Daming Mountain in District 22. He was also a rare 3S-level psychic, and with the recognition of the dog king, he had won all the civil wars in recent years, and the teams in each district had to follow his orders.

Di Yue didn't expect that the rumored new colonel was so young.

He looked... not as strong as most military men, more like a pretty boy. Could he be trying to imitate a previous colonel and challenge their civilian organization to gain recognition and control over the North City

Beicheng civil organizations work closely with Beicheng’s military guards.

If they were forced to recognize the new colonel, the military guards would most likely have to follow suit, otherwise they would be doomed to split.

"Yes, Boss. You don't even know this colonel. He is even more ignorant than the previous one!"

"We caught him and wanted to fight him, but he didn't want to. He said if he wanted to, he should come up here to the main camp and fight with you and everyone else, Boss!"

Another young man next to him looked suspicious: "Are you trying to delay time?"

Di Yue thought so too.

"Hey, I remember that the 22nd District Checkpoint is the border of the North City." Di Yue suddenly frowned, "Isn't the city gate closed all year round? How did he get in? Did the North City guards allow him to pass?"

After Di Yue finished speaking, he saw Xu Qingran bandaging his wound.

Then he noticed that there seemed to be many scars hidden under his dark clothes, and suddenly fell silent again.

Although I don’t know what method Xu Qingran used, it looks like it must be very intense.

Di Yue had heard Chen Jianguang complain a lot recently, saying that the new colonel in Shangnanzhou was deliberately targeting Beicheng.

They clearly had enough military supplies, but they were unwilling to give them, and were even unwilling to come to Beicheng to negotiate with them in person. They were very arrogant. Now that the young colonel had taken the initiative to deliver himself to them, he decided to teach Chen Jianguang a lesson for his arrogance.

Outside the house, Xu Qingran had just bandaged his wound simply to avoid affecting his performance later.

The environment at the guard's headquarters camp was better than he had imagined.

It is more like a resort than a mountain village. The houses here are all simple wooden houses, but they are fully equipped with new technology products and air conditioners. There are also many albizzia trees planted around the campsite. They will soon bloom, and the air will be filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Xu Qingran had just treated his more serious wounds when Di Yue came up to him.

In the early summer weather, he was still wearing a mink coat, and with his hands on his hips, he said to him, "After all, we are not military guards, and we are not as good as you in using spiritual weapons, so according to the rules, you are not allowed to use guns or spiritual knives."

"You can only use the weapons we provide you."

As soon as Di Yue finished speaking, the younger brother who was sharpening a knife beside him handed the sharp knife to Xu Qingran. His eyes looked fierce, but it was just an act, which made him look funny.

Xu Qingran took it decisively and said with a smile: "No problem."

Anyway, when it comes to fighting, he doesn't rely on mental suppression.

Di Yue added: "The blade has no eyes."

"Although we use ordinary weapons, it is inevitable that there will be injuries. Our rule is not to treat your target as an enemy and beat him to death, but as a capable person, your other task is to ensure that you are not killed."

"Of course, you can also choose to surrender before you feel you are about to be killed."

"Surrendering also means losing."

Di Yue put his hands on his hips and chuckled, advising: "Young man, don't be too aggressive."

"If you die here, we will not be responsible."

Xu Qingran seemed not to hear his advice.

After wiping the knife, he looked up and asked, "By the way, can I confirm with you the prize for winning first?"

She put her arm around his face and smiled in a particularly harmless way: "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to be mentally prepared first."

For example, preparations for a change of boss.
