Lonely Swordsman - C36
On the way back, Zhang Xiang’s mood was extremely low. From time to time, Ruo Meng’s joyful eyes would flash in front of his eyes. Sigh, he had failed to live up to his beauty!
After returning from Sea Shark, Zhang Xiang’s diplomatic mission rested for another night on War Wolf, after which, Zhang Xiang appointed Zhou Songping, the civilian officer who accompanied them, as the director, to lead the other civilians in the preparation for War Wolf’s establishment of Little Qingshan’s War Wolf Office. In addition, Li Ping brought a small team with him to stay behind.
The next morning, the members of the third team, Sun Junping, suddenly disappeared. The Battle Wolf Mercenary Group searched for several hours, but they still couldn’t find him. Where did he go? Zhang Xiangqian was anxious and helpless. The last member of the team nervously came out to admit his mistake, and told the story of how the woman who received him at Hai Sha tried to rope him in. Of course, he didn’t say that he had promised the girl that he would escape, but after thinking about the fact that the woman he saved in his own camp was already pregnant, he went back on his word. There was another team member who didn’t even dare to speak out, because like Sun Junping, he was preparing to escape and stay with that woman, but he hadn’t had the time to do so yet.
It seemed like Sun Junping had fled to the Sea Shark Mercenary Company. Zhang Xiang didn’t have any other options, so he could only return first. Zhang Xiang and Zhang Xinlin had no choice but to lead the other seven members back to their own rescue camp.
As for Zi Xin and the other two girls, after Zhang Xiang and the others left, they stayed inside the hotel room, in a state of anxiety, waiting for the return of the man who had promised them.
A day had passed, and most of the night had passed. Zi Xin was too scared to sleep, so she lay in bed, tossing and turning. In her dreams, she suddenly realized that her husband had returned, but when she opened her eyes, it was dark and empty.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zi Xin couldn’t suppress her excitement. She got off the bed barefooted and opened the door. She then threw herself into the embrace of the person who came before her, crying bitterly and emotionally.
Seeing Zi Xin’s actions, Sun Junping felt that everything he had done was worth it. He suddenly had the impulse to hand over his life to her.
Zi Xin had achieved perfection, but the other two girls were saddened. Just like Zi Xin, the two ladies had been looking forward to their return, but unfortunately, their ‘thousand sails were no good’. In the end, their husband hadn’t come. Instead, their husband, Mr. Bei, had been the one to decide their miserable fate.
After Sun Junping defected to the sea shark, the next day he was introduced by Zixin to Mr. Bei, and then he saw the shark.
“Hahaha, good, good, good. Mister has made another great contribution.” Shark first praised Bei Tianshi, then turned to Sun Junping and said, “Brother Sun, if you think highly of me, you will be my shark’s brother in the future. In the future, Brother Sun, go and ask around. When did I, Shark, mistreat my brothers? “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Also, Miss Rushuang has also done a great deed. Military Advisor, you should get a good reward for this.”
After a short pause, Shark looked at Sun Junping and said, “Brother Sun, I, too, will not speak the truth. The Military Advisor spent a lot of effort to poach you over just so that you could learn the Six Vein Divine Sword. If you agree, from today onwards, Brother Sun will be the Chief Instructor of our Regiment.”
“Alright, since big brother thinks so highly of little brother, little brother will not be unreasonable.” Elder brother might not know this, but the Six Passages of Divine Sword requires powerful internal energy to form its foundation, just like how the Eight Heavenly Dragon Tribes speak of it. Honestly speaking, Chen Jing was a super genius. Not only had he developed the circulation method of the Six Passages of Divine Swords, he had also invented a super inner force method to lay the foundation for the Six Passages of Divine Swords. “Big brother, you don’t know, our guards, oh, I was wrong, it was my previous place, there was a man named Huang Xiaogang who practiced Taiji internal energy for 50 years, he was the number one expert there before, but he was later overtaken by several people who practiced Chen’s internal energy. That’s why Huang Xiaogang crippled Taiji internal energy for 40 years a few months ago and started to practice Chen’s internal energy again.” “Brother, don’t worry. I, your little brother, am very familiar with the Chen Clan’s inner force cultivation method and the combo battle method created by Chen Jing. I dare not say that I, Hai Sha, will surpass Brother Little Qingshan in the future, but, surpassing Yi An is very possible!” Sun Junping felt that since he was here, he should not hold back, so he said what he should and what he shouldn’t.
“Good, this is great! Brother, you’ve truly come at the right time. I don’t know how to thank you for this.” Hearing Sun Junping mention the inner force cultivation method, Shark and the surrounding people were all stunned. To tell the truth, these people had no inner force skills at all. They did not even have any senses, so they would usually just randomly practice a few punches and kicks. When they heard that there was actually an inner force skill skill, they could not help but let their imaginations run wild.
“Brother Sun, I’m called Grizzly Bear.” After hearing the inner force skill manual, the fatty was the most excited. He shook off the fat on his body and stood up saying, “Since we’re all brothers, then we can’t fail you. Big brother, let’s give Brother Sun a name first.”
“Good, Third Brother is right. Brother Sun, you are all sworn brothers of our Big Brother. If you are willing, you will be our Ninth Brother from today on.”
“Ok, I’ll pay my respects to my big brother and all my brothers.” Sun Junping was also an exquisite person, so he would naturally follow the lead.
“Ol ‘Nine, I’m your Seventh Brother Fire Fox. First, show your brothers your ultimate skill so that Big Brother can give you a name. After all, every brother of yours has a famous name, so how could you miss out on Ol’ Nine?” The little Firefox stood up and said.
“Thank you, Seventh Brother. Please come out to see Ninth Brother’s humiliation.”
On the field, Sun Junping performed Little Gang’s Tai Chi. Wei Dong taught military fighting techniques, and in the end performed a six-channel sword technique. With the aid of inner strength, the sword was both sturdy and supple, and its body was as light as a swallow. Those who had not much experience could not help but feel their eyes light up.
“Great kung fu, Ol’ninth’s movements are both firm and gentle, and his body is as light as a swallow’s. How about I call him Eagle?” Shark acknowledged Sun Junping’s skill.
“Alright, alright.” Cheers rang out.
“Thank you, big brother. Eagle, this is a good name. I will be called Eagle from now on.”
“Alright, we’ll stop here for today. The Military Advisor will arrange a place for Ol ‘Nine to stay. Ol’ Nine will take Miss Rushuang to rest first. Tonight, Big Bro will give you a welcoming dinner.”
“Thank you, Big Brother.” After that, Zi Xin followed Sun Junping, temporarily leading a blissful life.
Zhang Xiang and the others returned to the rescue camp on December 24th. Overall, this mission was very successful, but the biggest regret was that they didn’t find Zixin. Besides, they didn’t want to disappoint Ruo Meng and Sun Junping’s betrayal.
After seeing Chen Jing, Zhang Xiang wanted to report back, but who knew that Chen Jing would say, “Zhang Xiang, you’re not busy reporting. Let’s take a look at this thing first.”
After Zhang Xiang received the pearl, he immediately had a reaction. Just like what happened to Chen Jing before, his inner Qi began to circulate crazily. Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiang stood up and the second path, the Six Vein Divine Sword, that had not progressed for a long time, was finally completed.
“It seems like this grey bead really is yours. Too bad it’s too little, there’s only two in the hundred or so beads.” Chen Jing then handed the other grey pearl to Zhang Xiang. Then he said, “Now tell me about this trip.”
“Many thanks Battalion Commander, the situation this time is more or less satisfactory, especially after the Battle Wolf got 2000 tons of steel …” Zhang Xiang gave a general introduction of the situation and then said: “The more disturbing thing is that a team member named Sun Junping has been caught in the Sea Shark’s pink trap and escaped to Sea Shark. Our Six Passages Divine Sword and Internal Training have probably been leaked out by him.”
“That doesn’t matter. I was going to give it to them too, but this defection isn’t good. This isn’t good!” It was a pity that the experts of the self-rescue camp were all in seclusion, so they could only wait for them to come out. But go to Chen Zhenjun. It’s time for the intelligence department to use their troops. “Sigh, I was so busy that I forgot about this matter. I let him release the agents he trained one by one, so that no one would understand us, while we ourselves were completely oblivious.”
“Yes, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.”
“Oh, how is your daughter? Is there any news?”
“Ah, Battalion Commander.” Zhang Xiang’s mood immediately darkened as he recounted the situation of him searching for Zi Xin.
“Sigh, the situation now is too hard to say. You have to hold on by yourself.” Chen Jing sighed as well, and then said, “Go and call Xin Lin over, I have something to talk to him about.”
“Yes, Battalion Commander.” Zhang Xiang then left Chen Jing’s office.
“Captain, you’re looking for me?” Not long later, Zhang Xinlin opened the door and entered.
“Oh, New Forest. Here are 7 pearls. Xiao Gang, Zhang Bin and the rest have gone into closed door cultivation.” Take it and try harder. Don’t let them pull you down. ”
“Thank you captain, thank you!” Zhang Xinlin took the seven white beads with excitement.
Since the beginning of the month after the meeting with Old Tie in Tianyu, the search troops of the self-rescue battalion had met with the teams of the Thirteen Mercenaries, the Southwest Falcon, and the Yi’an Society in the west, northeast, and central regions of the city. On January 21, 2028, the entire city of Mianzhou had been recaptured by the survivors. In the end, Little Qingshan’s self-rescue camp took up 25% of the urban area of Mianzhou with a population of 80 thousand; the Southwest Falcon took up 32% of the urban area with a population of almost 120 thousand; the Yi An Society took up 8% of the urban area with a population of over 30 thousand; and finally, the Thirteen Mercenaries Union took up over 33% of the urban area with a population of about 100 thousand.
Of course, under the condition that there were sufficient soldiers in the self-rescue battalion, the guard training camp had recruited over eight thousand new soldiers. At the same time, most of the new recruits that were recruited in the early stages had passed the training. In addition, there was another piece of good news, which was that the underground base had also successfully developed the powerful machine gun and restored the production of several workshops on the ground. In addition to the steel from the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company, the powerful machine gun and the special sniper rifle were being produced in a steady stream.
Considering that at present, besides zombies, other forces such as Hai Sha had been added to the enemy force. In order to deal with the new situation, Chen Jing decided to set up a general guard team. Currently, it was just a team of 12 people. Chen Jing had personally picked Zhang Xinlin from the entire squadron and assigned him to be the captain. However, Zhang Xinlin was currently training behind closed doors, organized by Zhang Chengyun, the vice-captain. Each member of the guards had completed at least 4 routes and 6 channels, and Zhang Chengyun had even completed a complete set of 6 routes. Of course, since the main enemies of the guards were no longer zombies, they had replaced the long blades and heavy shields with all kinds of short weapons, as well as increasing their firearms training. In addition, during the selection of the guards, talent was an important aspect, but even more important was loyalty. Therefore, the 11 members including Zhang Chengyun were all fanatical admirers of Chen Jing. They were all willing to sacrifice their lives for him. As such, from now on, the guards were Chen Jing’s trusted aides. Of course, Chen Jing would never be stingy towards his trusted aides. He had given each of them a pearl according to their attributes from the very beginning. Chen had planned to turn them into a super force.
The captain of the guard regiment was reassigned to be Zhao Hu. In addition, Zhou Tian Yu had also trained himself pretty well at the basic level. Chen Jing felt it was necessary to train him to be able to command the legions to fight, so he assigned him to be Wei Dong’s assistant, serving as the Deputy Regiment Commander of the 101st Regiment.
In addition, during this period, a small matter happened. A search squadron of the White Tiger Company and a search team of about a hundred people from the Yi An group clashed. The always domineering Yi An group, seeing how few people thought they were easy to bully, immediately started to attack. “Fortunately, Qiu Yongqiang had his eyes open and knew the power of the Green Mountain Guards, so he didn’t dare to come and demand an explanation like he did with Hai Sha.
“Director, I succeeded!” On January 25, 2028, Wang Lei, who had been in closed-door training for almost two months, finally came out. At this moment, Wang Lei was the same as Chen Jing, his skin was covered in a layer of luster.
Wang Lei had spent 56 days in seclusion and spent 6 pearls to successfully advance to rank 2. Unfortunately, Wei Dong, who was in closed-door seclusion with him, had not made a sound. It seemed that it would still take some time. As for Wang Lei’s remaining bead, Chen Jing told him to continue cultivating to consolidate it.
