歪果仁漫画

Yakes got detained by the Night Watchmen, just awaiting the corroborating evidence to be presented to the Elders Council.

Liang Feifan’s father was also imprisoned, awaiting the most severe punishment from the Night Watchmen.

The Night Watchmen never spared traitors, particularly those who willingly sided with the Fallen Ones.

No matter the reason!

Moreover, this time, the leakage of the secret by Liang Feifan’s father caused the death of over thirty Professionists.

Such a loss would have warranted him eight hundred deaths!

Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, and Song Chaoyu gathered again, with an odd atmosphere pervading the air.

Eventually, it was Zheng Cheng who broke the silence: “I think I hear the chicken calling me, goodbye!”

In this kind of situation, fleeing was the best choice.

Watching Zheng Cheng escaping, Song Chaoyu smirked and said, “Men, indeed lacking in courage.”

“Want to enjoy the fortune of the common man, yet dared not speak up?”

“He spoke up.”

“Huh?”

“I agreed.”

“Huh?”

“But I haven’t told him yet.”

“Huh?”

“Let it be, I’ll go to the Alien Battlefield first.”

“Huh?” Recovering quickly, Song Chaoyu frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that, going to the Alien Battlefield?”

“Once we start university, we’ll have more opportunities to head to the Alien Battlefield.”

“The annual live-action drills and end-term assessments all provide chances for going to the Alien Battlefield, so why does it seem like you’re saying goodbye to life?”

Yao Zhixue shook her head and replied, “You won’t understand. I have my own reasons. Just like you have your mission for going to the Alien Battlefield.”

Song Chaoyu wrinkled his brows, “Your reasons…are they related to your Profession?”

Yao Zhixue said nothing but turned and left.

“See you next time, if there is a next time…”

Watching the retreating Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu was puzzled: “What the heck, why all this mystery…”

“Oh, where’s Zheng Cheng?”

While Song Chaoyu was still looking for Zheng Cheng, Chicken found Zheng Cheng first.

“Brother Cheng, Huang Jiu sacrificed his life.”

“What?”

With the guidance of Chicken, Zheng Cheng arrived at where the bodies were being collected.

Covered with white cloths, the bodies were being tallied and managed to be sent back to Chang’an City for burial.

They died for the protection of ordinary people, they were the heroes in everyone’s eyes!

Next to the bodies, many Professionists and ordinary people were mourning.

With sorrowful faces, some were even crying bitterly.

Among them were clearly their own relatives and friends!

Zheng Cheng crouched down and lifted the white cloth, and underneath it indeed lied Huang Jiu!

His check was pale, bearing a peaceful look.

On his chest, there was a wound with the size of a bowl.

The fresh blood had dried up, leaving a large stain on his clothes.

“Big brother Huang Jiu…”

Cheng trembled out the words, while Chicken’s voice was interspersed with sobbing noises.

“Huang…Huang Jiu died saving me, from the hands of the skeleton demon.”

“If it wasn’t for me, woohoo…”

While Zheng Cheng looked at Huang Jiu’s body, scenes from two months ago also flashed before his eyes.

If Huang Jiu wasn’t at the bar by chance on that day,

Just relying on Yao Zhixue and himself, they couldn’t have held up against the Black Sun leader of the Fallen Ones until the Night Watchmen arrived.

From this perspective, Huang Jiu could even be considered his life-saver!

He knelt on one knee, his voice deep and low, “Brother Huang Jiu, may your journey be smooth…”

Before his eyes, images of Huang Jiu scolding those professionists hiding in ordinary people’s carriage emerged again.

“Why are you all heading to the ordinary carriage?”

“Do note, all of you are professionists, it is your duty to protect the ordinary people behind you. Why are you trying to hide among the crowd?”

“Bloody hell! What does the country train you for, only to have you desert in the heat of a battle…”

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

Ca Ji also started crying and took a long time to recover.

“Right, Brother Cheng, before Brother Huang Jiu passed away, he entrusted us to go to Beijing and find his daughter to return her his professionist badge,”

Zheng Cheng wiped the last trace of fresh blood from Huang Jiu’s face, then stood up and said, “Keep the item first. Let me know when you are leaving, we’ll go together,”

“Okay.”

“Zheng Cheng!”

At this moment, a clear voice rang out. Turning his head, it was the young woman, Yang Liuying, who he had just met on the train.

At this time, she was also covered in quite a lot of fresh blood, her hair was disheveled, eyes were slightly red, notably having cried not long ago.

Tear-stained and looking forlorn, she breathed an extraordinary charm.

With a mystified look, Zheng Cheng said, “Sister Liu Qing, what happened…?”

Yang Liuying ran her fingers through her hair and started speaking, “Elder Zhang sacrificed himself…”

“Elder Zhang…”

The elder they were talking about was the senior who had served in the alien battlefield for more than twenty years.

Unbelievably, even he had sacrificed himself.

Yang Liuying continued, “Our encounter was a mere passing intersection, but Elder Zhang was a great conversationalist. He also liked Nannan. We had a great time chatting…”

Under Yang Liuying’s guidance, Zheng Cheng saw Elder Zhang’s body once again.

His hair full of white, his expression peaceful, as if he was merely asleep.

“He originally wanted to retire and live in peace in Beijing with his son. Elder Zhang was injured in the alien battlefield before, which greatly weakened his power and lifespan.”

“It’s all my fault…”

With a heart filled with sorrow, Zheng Cheng slowly stood up.

The Fallen Ones came for him, and if it wasn’t for him, they might all still be alive!

“Zheng Cheng!”

Zhao Yunxiao approached and her words awakened the people immersed in grief.

“It’s not your fault. It’s all the doing of the Fallen Ones!”

“We, as professionists, are already prepared to make sacrifices. Regardless, it is in the hands of the Fallen Ones or the alien battlefield!”

“Think about what they said when they were alive and what they did!”

“I don’t want you to overthink because of this!”

“The Fallen Ones, the alien battlefield, protection…family!”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes shone brightly, he said resolutely, “Sister Yunxiao, I understand.”

“We professionists exist to protect ordinary people and the country. As well as…our family!”

“Good.”

Zhao Yunxiao smiled and said, “I’m glad you’re able to think through it so quickly.”

“The space cavity ahead of us has already collapsed and luckily it did not damage the railway tracks. The bodies on the railway tracks will be cleared up in at most two hours. Would you like to continue to Beijing or return to Chang’an City…”

“Beijing!”

Zheng Cheng’s gaze shone once again and said, “I have to continue to Beijing!”

“No matter what danger awaits me, I will not back down!”

“Pressing forward… victory to the brave!”

“Pressing forward heralds victory, huh?” Zhao Yunxiao repeated Zheng Cheng’s words. She then added, “You’re worthy of being the man I set my sights on. I’ll be waiting for your good news!”

“I’ve already asked one of our clan members to meet you. He’ll show you around Beijing.”

“You don’t have any relatives in Beijing, I…”

“Who says so?” Yang Liuying suddenly said, “I am a native of Beijing. I would cover all the expenses for Little Brother Zheng Cheng in Beijing!”

“Huh?”
