In the middle of the night, Chen Shouyi dragged his exhausted body, had just laid down on the bed not long before Luo Jingwen ca over to knock on the door.
Chen Shouyi awoke from his ditation of self-cultivation, got up, and opened the door.
"How is it?" As soon as the door opened, Luo Jingwen asked impatiently in a low voice.
"Just as we suspected, it’s a cult conspiracy. Zhu Xueqing was never captured. I got it straight from the demigod’s mouth!" Chen Shouyi said.
"Now I can sleep." Luo Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave without asking further questions.
"Aren’t you curious about the details? You were quite brave!" Chen Shouyi asked curiously.
"What’s there to know? The you in your mory only represents the past you, it’s not really , it’s unrelated to . Besides, if I had your kind of mory world ability, I would also find a way to get information out of the demigod!" Luo Jingwen said plainly, feeling slightly bitter inside, thinking, should I stay to watch you show off?
"I have fought with a demigod!" Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but say.
"You must have been killed miserably, right? If you had won, we wouldn’t need to hide here now." Luo Jingwen said dismissively, "I’m going to sleep."
Watching Lao Luo’s quickly departing back.
Chen Shouyi felt extrely frustrated, unable to enjoy showing off: "Ah, sleep! Sleep!"
...
In the following days, the two completely went undercover, like the cultists in the city, they prayed every morning and evening, and desperately trained at night.
The money issue was resolved on the second day.
A peak martial artist disguised as a thief would be of divine thief level, even under everyone’s watch, common people couldn’t detect it.
Five days passed in a flash.
By noon, the two were eating lunch in the living room.
The food was cooked by Luo Jingwen, as they often eat out and their appetite is too big, it’s really too conspicuous.
Initially, they agreed to take turns cooking.
But after Chen Shouyi cooked once, he was dismissed.
Which left him, the son of a chef, quite frustrated.
"Today, I went to the market to buy groceries, the streets seed much more relaxed, and checkpoints were removed." Chen Shouyi said in a low voice while eating.
Luo Jingwen nodded: "They should have left, that presence hasn’t appeared since yesterday. In a few days, we will go investigate the military port situation on that side, then imdiately leave East Sea Province."
"Not going to investigate the capital?" Chen Shouyi asked, the original plan was to go to the capital.
"There’s no point anymore. From Qujiang City’s situation, there’s probably no resistance left there. And it’s too dangerous with demigods present, once exposed we will have nowhere to escape." Luo Jingwen said. He’s not a stubborn person, if it wasn’t for last ti’s nuclear matter, which is too significant and threatens national security, he wouldn’t take such a risk.
Chen Shouyi nodded and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Then let’s wait two more days."
The atmosphere here is really too oppressive, tense every day, he’s eager to leave at any mont.
...
At night.
"Good giant, co and sll if little one is stinky!" Shell Lady stripped completely, sniffed her little arm and worriedly asked.
Due to no water, neither Chen Shouyi nor Shell Lady had taken a bath in a week.
Chen Shouyi finished practicing the complete set of Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Forms, took a breath and reassured, "Not slly at all, you’re the most fragrant!"
"Really?" Upon hearing, Shell Lady smiled broadly: "Am I really the most fragrant, even more than fragrant bubbles?"
"How could I lie to you, you’re a hundred tis more fragrant than fragrant bubbles!" Chen Shouyi glanced at the narcissistic Shell Lady and said.
Now she’s satisfied!
"Yes, little one is the most fragrant!" Shell Lady said seriously, then looked at Chen Shouyi: "But good giant, you’re quite stinky!"
Even she dislikes now.
But indeed, Shell Lady at least changes clothes every day, while he hasn’t bathed and didn’t even change his clothes.
Chen Shouyi felt very frustrated and simply ignored her, continuing to practice Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Forms.
After practicing eighteen full rounds, steam enveloped him, his skin was burning red, emitting waves of heat. He panted heavily, collapsing onto the bed and opened the attribute panel:
Strength: 17.0
Agility: 17.7
Constitution: 17.0
Intelligence: 16.3
Perception: 14.9
Willpower: 16.2
Energy Accumulation: 2.92
During this period, looking at the data, he’s made considerable progress. The agility that had been stagnant for nearly half a month finally increased by 0.1 points to 17.7, the perception advanced the fastest, increasing by 0.2 points to 14.9. In addition, even willpower increased by 0.1 points.
"Pity, it doesn’t significantly impact combat effectiveness." Chen Shouyi felt a bit disappointed.
His agility was already excessive, even increasing more wouldn’t be beneficial, not to ntion this enhancent was the result of long-term accumulation. As for the growth in perception and willpower, they provided limited direct improvent in combat effectiveness.
He sighed, sitting on the bed, waiting for his strength to recover.
Just then, a familiar buzzing sound ca from outside the window, quickly growing louder, even the glass window began to slightly vibrate, as if the whole world was resonating. His face froze, and he hurriedly went to draw back the curtains.
With sharp eyesight, leveraging the hazy moonlight outside, he vaguely saw silvery white dots in the night sky, ford into a formation, flying high in the air, a full hundred of them.
"It’s planes!" What he saw made his heart surge with excitent, an indescribable emotion filled his chest.
This is human power.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The bedroom’s door was knocked rapidly.
Chen Shouyi promptly opened the door, seeing it was Luo Jingwen.
"I can’t see from my side!" He said quickly, stepping into the bedroom and heading to the window.
Chen Shouyi glanced at the bed, the Shell Lady had cleverly hidden herself under the quilt, then walked over to stand by Luo Jingwen.
"The war has begun, it’s not safe here!" Luo Jingwen quickly said after observing for a mont, "No need to go to the military port now, we must leave here imdiately!"
"Leave now?" Chen Shouyi asked.
He was not surprised, after all, a nuclear submarine had sunk in the waters near Qujiang City’s naval port, carrying millions of tons of nuclear weapons, the authorities wouldn’t let it pass easily, but he didn’t expect the response to be so swift.
"Yes, leave now, or it will be too late." Luo Jingwen said.
War is terrifying.
Even as a peak martial artist, being on a battlefield ans facing life-threatening danger at any ti.
When necessary, nuclear weapons might even be deployed, and if affected by that, one would die without knowing how.
Luo Jingwen said while quickly returning to the bedroom to pack belongings.
Just as Chen Shouyi lifted the quilt to put the naked Shell Lady inside the briefcase, the distant sound of machine gun fire faintly reached them!
His heart trembled, realizing that the war had indeed started.
