Chapter 54 (Part Two)
After shooting the limping zombie dead, Zhang Si intended to continue up the steps, but his gaze was suddenly caught by something inside a nearby room.
"We need good wine; Italian champagne has no taste at all." Wu Fan was quite willing to attend the banquet. Since he had to spend the night in Yanjing, it made no difference to him; what worried him most was Helena, but he couldn't get in touch with her.
"Hehe, then I'll have to trouble you." Monarch Ji Qiong smiled rather awkwardly. At this moment, he didn't even have half a divine stone on him. For a dignified divine monarch to actually be reduced to such a state—
Yan Bing looked at this scene, unable to help complaining inwardly that this damned old man was an absolute snob.
Thinking this to themselves, the two of them nevertheless turned their heads away, neither expressing agreement nor disagreement, pretending as though they hadn't seen anything.
As he drew close, Masho Saju thrust his short blade toward Yu Nuo's face. Just as the blade neared Yu Nuo's face, Masho Saju forcibly reined in the force of his strike, terrified that Yu Nuo might once again instantly teleport.
"The Criminal Investigation Bureau? What do they do?" Su Yuping was stunned for a moment, wondering why she was suddenly being transferred to such an agency.
Zhang Si drove the car very slowly, keeping the engine's noise to a minimum to avoid alarming the nearby zombies. A few zombies that had already spotted the vehicle approached them; Zhang Si crushed the ones blocking his path beneath the wheels, ignoring those that lagged behind.
"Hello, who is this?" Ye Ling's father was sleeping. Although he saw an unfamiliar number calling, he still picked up.
"Look at that blackened, membranous armor; it must be shadow armor, which uses shadows to form armor for self-protection," said Anya, who had relatively rich practical combat experience.
Sun Shiren looked at that non-biologically-like berserk state, and an extremely brilliant idea instantly flashed through his mind.
"Yu... today is your day to tell me a story again. I've been waiting here for you for a long time. If you don't show up soon, I'm going to come looking for you!" On the balcony, a pair of golden wings grew behind Helen, fluttering slowly in the sky, while her hands clutched Lu Yu's.
"Old friend, I'll have someone arrange a hotel for you to stay in. As for the expenses, you don't need to worry about a thing. Once you've arrived in the Mokay Empire, it's just like being on my turf," Daner said with a confident, self-assured smile.
Although he was smart enough, spending so much time on studying really made Lu Yu somewhat impatient. He was not like his sister Lu Anke imagined him to be—someone with top-tier grades and exemplary conduct; he was also going through a rebellious phase.
Originally, Le Xiang had only stayed at the Lu family for a single night before leaving. Coming and going took a tremendous amount of time, and as the head of the family, he could not afford to leave the Le family for too long.
"What on earth are you trying to say?" Zhang Yue asked, his tone uncharacteristically impatient. His composure had begun to crumble time and again ever since that mission. To hide his expression, he was actually forced to look away and lower his head to continue packing his clothes.
"You have the strength now? You're just groaning over nothing!" Lulu exposed him without a shred of mercy.
The New Army had slightly modified the officers' uniforms to make them less conspicuous on the battlefield. Charlie had forcibly overturned the officers' mindset of superiority, making them willingly put on the new uniforms. Even so, these officers still exposed their whereabouts because they had to command the somewhat bewildered New Army.
The only thing that remained was the vortex at the dantian, echoing and reflecting the fire of the spiritual platform within the brain.
China is number one in the world for infrastructure, and the State of Chen possesses massive capital. Chen's fiscal revenue ranks second in Africa, second only to South Africa, and the Chen Royal Asset Management Company is the largest wealth conglomerate in the world. For China and Chen to cooperate on infrastructure is truly like combining two peerless swords.
Because the Big Dipper constantly revolves around Polaris, guarding the peace of the North Pole day and night, and Polaris is where the Heavenly Emperor resides, known as the "Central-Northern Polar Ziwei Palace."
Subaru's desperate final counterattack had no effect whatsoever; instead, he was utterly defenseless, practically offering his own head up on a platter.
Having narrowly escaped death with their emotions shattered, those of weak willpower wept bitterly on the spot or stood dumbfounded, losing their minds. One person even suddenly leaped up, hopping on his right leg straight down the mountain, and those behind simply could not catch up.
The commotion instantly ceased. The fighting clansmen stood frozen in place, their faces pale as paper, as if deeply traumatized by those two piles of minced flesh, and obediently allowed themselves to be escorted onto the trucks.
"Don't worry, those soldiers are treating your empress mother with the utmost respect; they've only restricted her movements," Gousheng's message put the Third Prince's mind somewhat at ease.
Xia He was thoroughly provoked by Zhang Wan's words, unable to hold back a gasp of surprise, before immediately realizing she had interrupted Zhang Wan's speech.
The two of them swapped the dice in their hands and began shaking them once more. In truth, she didn't understand what trick there was to this thing, but judging from Jiang Wuye's earlier performance, that "five" didn't seem to have been rolled completely by chance.
Wherever the spiritual light passed, six or seven azure-purple centipedes, dozens of feet long, wreathed in lightning and with ferocious faces, instantly materialized.
This must be the so-called catfish effect. Without pressure, they were like a stagnant pool of water; once pressure was applied, their work became extraordinarily brilliant.
"Master, this way please." The phantom of a red dragon suddenly appeared in the room, leading Ye Tian toward the other chambers of the Pacification.
Upon receiving a fierce reprimand from the bureau chief, he immediately rushed to the hospital ward, hoping to use a mix of intimidation and enticement to shut the patient's family members up before the media could manage to contact them.
Therefore, this time he came directly bringing a super transport ship—immensely huge, housing numerous technological devices inside.
Witnessing everyone's reactions, Situ Xing couldn't help but laugh freely, his eyes revealing a hint of indescribable emotion.
Holding his blade, Li Zhicheng cautiously walked up to the thatched cottage, only to discover that the interior was already covered in dust; it seemed no one had visited for a very long, long time. When Li Zhicheng approached that piece of jade, a voice sounded. This voice was not heard by Li Zhicheng's ears, but echoed directly within his mind.
