Outside the entrance of the Legacy Realm.
The original encampment where the China and US armies once confronted each other was now confronted by the armies of the mainland country and the Sky Feather Nation again. Interestingly, the US soldiers who followed the southern mainland country to the north inherited the original encampment of the Chinese army because the golden-armored warriors of the mainland country first conquered the camp left by the Chinese army here, and the new Chinese army that arrived later in the Sky Feather Nation rebuilt the camp left by the US camp.
The continents and the Sky Feather Nation were bound by a series of treaties. Everyone in the armies of both sides knew that a large-scale conflict was unlikely to happen, so there was no situation of swords being drawn. Occasionally, soldiers from both countries could be seen outside the camp, taking advantage of a break to walk to the center of the camp to exchange small items that they needed. Of course, there were also spies mixed in among them.
As for why they were spying and what kind of intelligence they were spying for, probably only they themselves knew. The world was always moving in chaos. Not to mention that Chu Yunsheng was once called a "supporting role" by the guardian, even if he was the "main character", the world could not all revolve around one person. How many lives there were, how many demands, survival plans, and goals, most of them would never intersect, and even have nothing to do with the current situation.
For example, Ruan Xiaohong, who was in her forties, was an important female official sent by the Chinese side. At this moment, she was asking her secretary to fight for a special drug to treat severe depression from the hands of the US. The drug was only produced and carried by the original US. In the US army, the practice of paying attention to the psychological condition of the soldiers made it easier to find this special drug that was rarely seen in the outside world.
The person who was in urgent need of the drug was not her, but her beloved daughter. When she thought of her daughter who was completely frightened when her husband died in the first month after she came to this planet, in addition to bursts of pain and sadness, Ruan Xiaohong was more likely to get angry and anxious, which was completely different from her always confident and carefree image in the eyes of outsiders. Only the people closest to her knew.
The secretary brought back bad news. A US military doctor who was willing to "smuggle" offered a condition that was dozens of times more than her previous transactions. The reason was that more and more people had different degrees of depression on this strange planet. As several major countries on this planet gradually began to accept earthlings with various purposes, many substitutes and methods appeared for ordinary drugs to treat physical injuries and diseases. Only special drugs to treat depression were difficult to find suitable substitutes for earthlings in a short period of time. Coupled with the strong rise in demand, the "smuggled drugs" that were originally priced according to the price had now been sold one by one. Even so, there was no market for them.
Although the other party was just a small military doctor, and Ruan Xiaohong was in a high position, he was not afraid at all. They were from different countries and different camps, so what could he do?
If it was someone else, such as Colonel Bauer, the result would definitely be completely different. Although he could only be described as a lackey in front of Prince Hu Er, and his legs and stomach were trembling in front of Chu Yunsheng, in front of a small military doctor, he, who had the greatest military and political authority in the Northern Expedition Army, could completely control the survival of these people. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the master of their fate.
The other US officials in this group were not the politicians that Ruan Xiaohong was familiar with. They had no special relationship with each other, but they had several meetings and banquets with Bauer. Since she could not deal with the military doctor, after she inquired about Bauer's information, she was ready to take the high-level route.
But at this time, she did not know that at this moment, Adviser Bauer was not in the mood for diplomacy at all. In addition to exclamations, question marks, and all kinds of messy codes, there was only anxiety.
Ruan Xiaohong anxiously waited at the edge of the perimeter of the huge cave entrance. She paced back and forth anxiously over and over again. Every minute that passed, the special medicine that the military doctor kept might be taken away by someone else. However, there was still no news from Adviser Bauer. She did not know when he would come up.
For the sake of her daughter, she did not even hesitate to take the risk of negative comments from her superiors. She privately asked Lin Shuangyi to privately pass a message to Bauer, hoping that he could deal with the military doctor as soon as possible.
But she still did not expect that Lin Shuangyi had already forgotten about this matter. With such a big thing happening, who would have the time to care about a little girl who was trying to commit suicide all day long? If he wanted to die, he couldn't care less even if he had a powerful background. He had to send this news back as soon as possible. The reason why he could rise to the position he had today was not because of the power behind Ruan Xiaohong. He had his own big boss whom he had to serve wholeheartedly.
Time passed by, and finally, there was movement from the bottom of the cave. Ruan Xiaohong could not help but break through the perimeter and jog over. With her status, no one stopped her.
She did not necessarily need Bauer to come back personally; all she needed was for him to send someone to pass a message.
It was not yet the planned time for the Sentinels to return, so whoever came back now was most likely sent by Bauer!
Although Ruan Xiaohong was anxious, she was still a little happy. At least Bauer was willing to give her face. In future negotiations, she would also give Bauer some appropriate compensation and concessions, allowing Bauer to gain political achievements. This was the rule, and it had always been so.
Her joy grew when she saw the faces of the two people at the entrance of the cave. Both of them were dressed in rags. One of them, a Chinese man, was wearing a protective suit that had many holes in it, but it was still there. The other man was bare-chested, but it was him. He had a European and American face, so there was no doubt that he had been sent by Bauer. But how did he end up like this?
It seemed that the rumors about the dangers down there were not groundless. The people from the original Chinese camp had also stated this point. Didn't they see that the great man who chopped off the giant's head never came back?
That was why Ruan Xiaohong did not suspect anything about this man's tattered clothes. Instead, she was very grateful. Bauer had given her a lot of face by sending her back alone despite the great danger!
Without waiting for the two to speak, Ruan Xiaohong spoke first, "Did Bauer and Director Lin send you back?"
She had spoken in English, and had obviously ignored the Chinese man who had run the errand. Instead, she politely greeted the bare-chested westerner.
Who knew that the westerner would be carrying two transparent buckets filled with colorful things? He looked at her blankly, and then looked at the Chinese man inquiringly. It was obvious that he was being very careful.
However, Director Ruan Xiaohong had misunderstood and thought that the westerner's' caution 'was Bauer's instructions. After all, even if Bauer was authorized to do so in that country, he would not have dared to openly' smuggle 'the medicine. The medicine was on a blacklist that forbade any foreign trade. Even with Bauer's status, he had done this sort of thing many times, but he would never dare to be as carefree as Ruan Xiaohong.
Ruan Xiaohong thought that the westerner was being so careful was obviously to let the Chinese man confirm his identity.
Although she did not know this Chinese man, it did not mean that he did not know her. After all, she was an important official! If she was not mistaken, this man should have been sent by Director Lin to lead the way. How could he not know her?
However, she still felt a little strange. Why didn't Director Lin send someone she knew? To avoid arousing suspicion? This Lin Shuangyi was really cautious, gloomy, and full of schemes! She had heard about him before, and now that she had seen him, it was indeed true.
It was just some medicine. Was there a need to be so careful?
"Yes, we know Bauer." The Chinese man seemed to be very tactful and did not mention Director Lin's name. He still spoke in English, "Is there anything to eat? We are all starving! "
Ruan Xiaohong sneered in her heart. It seemed that Lin Shuangyi still did not trust her. The person he sent was so cautious and eager to disassociate himself from her. Not only did he say that he knew Bauer, but he also said that he was starving to cover up the process of confirming his identity. They had only been down for less than a day, and there was enough food. How could he be starving?
Ruan Xiaohong thought so, but her face did not show any trace of it. Even her anxiety was hidden in a friendly manner. Since this little guy said that he was hungry, she did not want to expose him. She did not want to offend Lin Shuangyi for nothing. It was the key to get the special medicine. She waved her hand, summoned her secretary, and cooperated with her to make arrangements.
Not long after, the secretary brought two people from the kitchen of the security forces to deliver a pot of steamed buns and other food. Before they arrived on this planet, the core camp had brought enough food.
On Earth, a few steamed buns, a few bags of pickles, two pieces of ham sausages, and two meat buns were considered to be the most delicious food in the world. Although it was still not good enough for Ruan Xiaohong and the others to eat, it should be considered as spring snow for the two little guys who came back to work. It should be known that most people, including the army, had begun to eat all kinds of crude and unrefined junk food that had been determined to be edible on this planet.
In any case, these two people had braved the dangers of the cave to come back alone for her personal affairs. Ruan Xiaohong thought that this arrangement gave them some benefits, especially the European American, who had prepared two pieces of bread and a can of beef. Of course, the Chinese man did not receive such treatment.
Who knew that the Chinese man would first take the can of beef, carefully look at the production date, and then stuff it into his clothes. Then, as if nothing had happened, he grabbed the steamed buns in the pot and ate them.
Ruan Xiaohong snorted coldly in her heart. She thought that Lin Shuangyi's people would pay attention to their image, but she did not expect them to be so good at taking advantage of others. A can of beef became his reward for this trip in the blink of an eye. However, Ruan Xiaohong saw that the shirtless European American had no objections, so she did not care. It was just a can of beef, and she did not care.
If it were not for the fact that her uncle's cousin's family had suffered a heavy blow to the camp after he came out of the extreme north, and that he had unfortunately lost his young son, who was less than ten years old, both mentally and physically. Although Her Highness Luo Sha had luckily returned to the Sky Feather Nation one or two months ago, within a few days, he had been urgently dispatched by the Heavenly Feather Clan from the extreme north to search for him and bring him back to the Sky Garden City, he was unable to recover from the setback. Otherwise, one of the dozen or so vice presidents in charge of logistics would definitely have a place for this cousin, and she would not have to worry about food.
What she wanted was medicine, damn medicine!
But then, she was a little puzzled.
The two of them really looked like the reincarnation of hungry ghosts, and they ate like crazy, as if they had not eaten for 800 years. They were holding the aluminum pot and eating like a whirlwind. Those who did not know would think that they were competing to see who could eat faster and eat more. It seemed that they did not even have time to peel off the wrapping of the two pieces of ham sausages before they savagely bit and chewed on them!
Not only was Ruan Xiaohong stunned by their table manners, but the little secretary behind her and the officers at the warning line were also pointing curiously.
Was the radiation in the cave so powerful? How could it consume energy and weaken them to such an extent?
Those who did not understand the situation and wanted to fight for a place to go down the cave to gain some experience and at the same time gain some credit immediately felt lucky that they were not chosen. Looking at this situation, it was scary to think that a living person would go in and a hungry ghost would come out, half-dead and half-alive.
The bare-chested European wiped his mouth, and as if he did not care about his image, he stretched out his hand and said, "There's still a can of food. I saw it, just take it out. I'm not full yet, don't hide it."
The Chinese, who was forcefully stuffing the last meat bun into his mouth with his fingers, did not even look at him. He looked up at Ruan Xiaohong with his mouth full of buns and said, "Is there more? We're not full yet. Two more pots, no, three more pots, is that okay? "
Ruan Xiaohong frowned slightly. The little secretary, who was familiar with her, immediately realized that her leader was not happy. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the crucial moment when the bare-chested European immediately raised his hand and corrected, "No, no, no, I want five pots, at least five pots!"
This American was the key person to directly 'negotiate' with the military doctor, so the little secretary did not dare to say anything to reject him, in case it caused unnecessary trouble. She turned her head and looked at Ruan Xiaohong for instructions.
For the sake of the medicine, for the sake of her daughter, Ruan Xiaohong suppressed the anger of being so rudely offended by the two little rascals and nodded without saying a word.
The little secretary got the instruction and immediately urged the soldiers in the kitchen to send more steamed buns over.
At this time, unexpectedly, the Chinese who had already offended her leader actually asked the soldiers, "Brother, do your comrades have cigarettes? Bring me a box, I'll exchange it with you. Ba Yi, take out your gold watch and exchange it with them. Don't hide it. As soon as we get down the hole, I will know that you have already put it in your pocket. What's the use of that thing? "
In fact, when Bauer and the others came up, they didn't need to exchange it. However, they couldn't wait any longer. The two of them no longer had to worry about the safety of Buterne and Gru. Except for Chu Yunsheng, who was still vigilant of the cardinal life, they basically just wanted to have a good meal and smoke a cigarette.
He could also see that this female official was a little dissatisfied with him. She could not satisfy the special request of this kind of "luxury goods". But he could at least exchange it with ordinary soldiers, right? He believed that the soldiers would definitely have this kind of thing in their hands.
Otherwise, before Bauer and the others came up, unless he sent Ba Yi to rob it, it would be too troublesome.
Ruan Xiaohong's face was indeed a little ashen, but she was still able to maintain her composure. For a person in her position, there were very few things that could cause a ripple in her heart. Only when it involved the special medicine and her daughter would she lose her composure.
The soldiers in the kitchen soon came back with the aluminum pot, but they did not bring the cigarettes that the Chinese man wanted. Everyone could see that director Ruan was very unhappy. No matter who this Chinese man was, their leader was director Ruan. They would never make a mistake if they acted according to the leader's instructions.
The Chinese man, who always carried a knife with him, smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He was just trying, and he was not in a hurry. He focused on eating the steamed buns in the pot. The shirtless westerner opposite him actually didn't take out his watch at all. With a disdainful expression, he continued to compete with the people opposite him in eating the steamed buns.
When they were about to finish the third pot, Ruan Xiaohong, who was eager to get the special medicine, finally couldn't help it. She signaled the little secretary to come forward and ask, "Excuse me, about the matter that Mr. Counselor asked …"
These two foodies were too insensible, especially this Chinese man. The American Director Ruan might not be able to control him, but he was working under Director Lin. Sooner or later, he would have to make things difficult for him. It was not a difficult thing. How could he not know anything when he was able to become Director Lin's trusted aide?
To her surprise, the Chinese man, who was normal just now, suddenly became extremely cold. He just glanced at her and didn't say a word. He even touched the ground with his hand, and then took a deep breath, as if he didn't hear anything at all. She didn't know what he meant.
Was he trying to take advantage of Director Ruan? The little secretary was shocked, and her face became serious. If this guy really wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail Director Ruan, no matter where his courage came from, as far as the current situation was concerned, it was really not easy to deal with it. It was probably because the American man seemed to be in a stalemate with him. Except for the watch, he even listened to everything he said.
The little secretary was very smart, but she was far less smart than Ruan Xiaohong. She immediately realized that this Chinese man probably wanted to blackmail her and then join the American camp. Otherwise, how could he have such a good relationship with this American man?
She put on a stern face and asked in a tone that would have sent chills down anyone's spine, a tone that was characteristic of this country and came from absolute power, "What's your name? Which department are you from!? Who is your leader!? "
She naturally knew that the leader of this Chinese man was Lin Shuangyi, but she still had to say it like this.
Chu Yunsheng glanced at her, slowly stood up, and said, "Ba Yi, pack the rest of the steamed buns." Then, he turned to Ruan Xiaohong and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who you are, but we have eaten six pots of steamed buns. Listen, it's not a lot. Your Royal Highness Luo Sha owes me a life. Six pots of steamed buns in exchange for her previous life. You tell her that we are even now!"
Not to mention that he and the shadow man did kill the monster that was chasing Luo Sha and the others in the extreme north, and then in the collapse of the spaceship, he and the shadow man did save Luo Sha's life.
However, he seemed to be distorting the truth. Because without him and the shadow man, Luo Sha would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation. Of course, if he counted today, Luo Sha had indeed survived his attack, so it was not an exaggeration to say that she had survived.
Ruan Xiaohong did not expect that Chu Yunsheng would dare to talk to her like this. She could no longer hide the anxiety caused by the special drug. Probably because she was also confused, she immediately shouted coldly, "who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this! Just because you saved Royal Highness Luo Sha! Company Commander Zhao, arrest this person right now! "
"Who am I, you go ask them, I don't have time to talk to you, get out of here!" Chu Yunsheng raised his sword and pointed at a large number of Heavenly Feather Clan people who were rushing out of the cave behind him, including Bauer, who was following them. As soon as he landed on the ground, he staggered and ran towards Chu Yunsheng desperately. Behind him was Royal Highness Luo Sha, who looked nervous, and the gorgeous vehicle that was slowly rising.
Ruan Xiaohong still didn't know what was going on, but Chu Yunsheng had already dashed out with the sword in his left hand. Like an arrow, he dashed towards the ground. Company Commander Zhang, who was preparing to go forward, only saw a flash in front of his eyes, and the binoculars in his hand disappeared. When he regained his senses, he saw a fierce figure stepping on the military vehicle fiercely and soaring into the sky.
On the northern coastline, on the surface of the sea that stretched for thousands of miles, huge ships that were as large as human aircraft carriers broke through the waves that were more than ten meters high, riding the wind. The black armor of the ships were like giant beasts of the sea in the raging waves, pulling their huge shadows gracefully under the sea. From time to time, huge creatures that looked like arrows would leap out of the sea, shuttling through the waves and boiling in the sea. Under the combination of dark clouds and lightning, layers upon layers of ships could not be seen with a single glance.
And their vanguard had already landed on the coast, crossed the jungle, stepped on the sea, and appeared in Chu Yunsheng's binoculars like a black dot on the roaring waves.
