Chapter Forty-Eight: Su Mian, Double Kill
Under the anxious gazes of her teammates, Su Mian smiled softly, steadying their hearts with a voice as gentle and nourishing as spring rain: “We currently hold the advantageous terrain. The two squads engaged in the firefight are positioned on the lower side of our cliff. If we arrange it properly and attack from an overhead angle, both squads will be wiped out.”
The group’s blood boiled with excitement. Xu Wanjun’s eyes lit up: “You say the word, we’ll follow your plan.” She knew Su Mian had undergone professional training with a merchant guild, possessing far greater knowledge and practical experience than they did.
Yin Xiaochuan nodded in agreement as well.
Though there were distinctions in quality, for professionals, quality alone was never the sole measure of an item’s worth.
Meanwhile, at the Taoyuan West Branch of Qinzhou Medical College, Ning Zhe, having just entered the hospital, hurriedly moved between the corridors of the first floor, closing every curtain, screen, and blind one by one, and switching off all the lights on the floor as well.
Before him, the projection of the great path simply smiled and pointed to Lin Yi’s chest, from which a wisp of black energy surged forth.
Yet, upon reconsideration, he thought, Su Yang was currently the centerpiece of the entire show. If he were to eliminate Su Yang now, the variety show would be no different from nothing.
Zhuang Yan’s emotional bluntness stemmed from a lifetime in his previous existence without love, leading him to doubt himself over time. But no matter how slow he was to perceive feelings, he was not a fool. He could sense Lu Yan’s care and excessive attention toward him.
On the other side, a robust wild boar with tusks crashed through the fence and charged into the pigpen, toppling three domestic pigs that were feeding, then greedily devouring their food with loud chomping sounds.
In front of the corpse, a handsome young man crouched on the ground, shielding his entire body beneath a beautiful parasol, resembling a turtle retreating into its shell.
As time passed, one creative fried rice dish after another was crafted by the students.
Pan Yue was puzzled, for he didn’t understand why Li Qing, after finding a way to clear the dungeon, handed over the authority of the Sunlight Tree to him, tasking him with building plant defenses to protect it.
The ritual still required some time to complete, and the worshippers outside were completely deceived by him. Qin Lu was confirmed dead, and the only remaining threat, Maria, was also unquestionably dead now.
“We were lucky to meet and become companions, Daliana. The three of us are destined,” Mu Zhihan said, regaining her composure.
Lin Hanxi sensed a slight irritation from him and immediately quieted down, clutching his neck with her delicate arms, fearful he might throw her off.
Ding Hou hesitated even more upon hearing this, scrutinizing A Feng’s face, hoping to discern something. Yet, A Feng smiled serenely, showing no urgency, utterly calm and composed, revealing nothing else.
Li Ge laughed softly and cried out, immediately unleashing “Celestial Flying Fairy.” With the terrifying piercing power of the Rainbow Sword, he blasted open the icy door.
Suddenly, Shuang’er lifted her head, rose on tiptoe, and pressed her rosy lips against Yi Yuefeng’s thin ones, ravenously claiming all she could, her jade arms wrapped tightly around his lean waist, stubbornly refusing to let go.
Just moments ago, the old Lady Lu wore a beaming smile, her speech and demeanor befitting a noble consort: her voice soft, her laughter filled with boundless kindness.
Zhou Chu shivered involuntarily upon hearing this. He had spoken with Korolev before, who never explicitly stated it but implied he intended to thoroughly modify him. If the previous robots were already so terrifying, what would Korolev transform him into? Would he still have his own mind then?
“Everyone, I’m feeling a bit weary. I’ll head back to my ward first,” Cheng Shi said calmly, waving goodbye to the group before leaving with Cheng Yun’s support.
