Chapter 31: Signal Interrupted

A momentary silence descended.

Jiang Tang draped her arms around Leah, leaning against her as if she had no bones. "This is my bestie. If you were to change your gender, I might consider letting you join us."

Leah, already weak, nearly toppled over from the weight. "You're so heavy! Shouldn't I be the one leaning on you?"

Locke sighed helplessly. "We still need to maintain a sense of urgency... even mop-up missions can be life-threatening."

The tense atmosphere eased instantly.

Fu Lei darted left and right, lunging forward and pulling back, constantly shifting his position, leaving Zheng Dongtai unable to defend against his unpredictable movements.

His thoughts scattered; there were so many things left unfinished on Earth, and to leave like this filled him with regret.

Although Chen Hao was currently wounded, he was still Chen Hao—a wounded tiger does not turn into a housecat simply because it is hurt.

The man glanced at the security guard and then slashed viciously at the dog’s throat. With a single stroke, the dog’s neck was laid open, leaving only a sliver of skin attached to its body as blood sprayed out like a fountain. By then, the dog was already dead.

The atmosphere felt stifling, so Brother Lei deliberately changed the subject, asking if I had a driver's license. I replied that I didn't yet; we were dirt poor before, and though I had a bit of money now, I was still focused on getting the internet cafe and the dumpling shop up and running.

Delivering such significant news via a phone call felt far too careless. The director could no longer sit still and prepared to take his leave to report the good news in person immediately.

"Has student Wang Yedan not returned to the dormitory? I haven't seen him since the class meeting ended," Teacher Zhao said.

I glared at the nun with venomous hatred, wishing I could strangle her. She was truly detestable; to think I had trusted her so much, only for her to use such despicable methods to harm me.

"Young man, make a deal with me. Trade your body and soul to me, and you shall have eternal life..." Seeing Qin Yu remain silent, the principal spoke up again, jokingly.

In the end, it was Master Bai Cunjian who personally intervened to stop her, though Ou Chongguang still seized the moment to repeatedly urge them to take care of Ye Lin.

Yang Yan pretended to be enlightened, but his heart began to race. He had no way to verify when Peng Shuo had saved a merchant! Could this Wang Yuan be lying?

According to the Artifact Spirit, the reason Monkey Three reacted to the aura of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate Technique was due to the unique spiritual energy involved; it was much like the Blue Spirit Bird from before.

However, most of the items were useless; Ye Ji had searched once before and hadn't found anything of value.

Worse still, some had already spread the news of Lu Tianming's "failed promotion" in advance, all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

"What a pity. This top-grade spiritual vein must have reached three hundred zhang in length before; I never expected only two hundred to remain. It seems the Sea Flood Dragon absorbed the rest." Upon seeing this, the Artifact Spirit immediately drew this conclusion and remarked with profound heartache.

After freshening up, Peng Mo went straight to the front hall. Breakfast had already been served, and the others did not press him with questions immediately, choosing instead to eat first.

As the Crown Prince of the Longshan Empire, Long You also held the title of the empire's greatest genius. One must realize that he himself had only just reached the peak of the Acquired Realm, and after hearing his subordinate's report, he was truly stunned.

The establishment and implementation of the political commissar system effectively resolved issues regarding the soldiers' convictions, strengthened the military leadership centered on Chen Ning, deepened the bond between the army and the people, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent founding of the party.

Because the prison cells were both a shackle and a form of protection for them. Inside, they possessed an incredibly strong yin energy that was perfectly suited to their own attributes, naturally enhancing their powers significantly.

Everyone on the field had their various tools ready, prepared to deal with any sudden emergencies. It was only then that Ye Ji had the presence of mind to carefully observe the two creatures opposite them, who were clearly not human.
