On the evening of October 27th, Xianghe City Airport …
A large military transport plane Kunpeng with gray paint from the Great Fire Country's military was parked on the tarmac, ready to take off.
Kunpeng was the largest transport plane in the world. From the ground, Kunpeng was as tall as a six-story building. Its body was 88 meters long, and its huge wings were a few meters longer than the body. It covered the entire tarmac and the grass around it.
As a military aircraft, Kunpeng could airdrop a regiment of soldiers at a time.
In the entire Xianghe City, there were about 1,800 people who were evacuated with Xia Ning tonight. Everyone was boarding the plane with their luggage from Kunpeng's open rear cabin. Many people were bidding farewell to their loved ones here.
When boarding the plane, each person could not carry more than 50 kilograms of luggage.
Xia Ning hugged Xia Pingan and cried.
Among these 1,800 people, there were officials, rich people, scientists, researchers, and military families …
The identities of the people boarding the plane were very complicated. Xia Pingan did not recognize many faces. He only remembered a few faces that often appeared on TV and media in Xianghe City. At this moment, those faces were also mixed in with the crowd. They boarded the plane with some panic and reluctance.
At this time, how could they get tickets to enter Doomsday Bunker? They could only rely on their own abilities. Xia Pingan could only take care of Xia Ning now. As for the others, he could not care so much for the time being.
Xia Pingan gently stroked Xia Ning's head and glanced at the sky. The moon was out, and it was a blood moon. The entire sky was a strange dark red. In Xianghe City, there were faint sounds of cannonballs exploding. There were soldiers stationed around the airport.
"When you get there, take care of yourself. Don't worry about me, okay?" Xia Pingan reminded Xia Ning.
Xia Ning raised his eyes that were red and swollen from crying. "Brother, I know. When are you coming to find me …"
"I'm a summoner. If I want to go, I can go at any time. Plus, I have the ability to protect myself!" Xia Pingan smiled. "It's just that I can't leave now. By the way, did you buy the things I asked you to buy?"
"I bought 30 kilograms and some jewelry. It's in the suitcase!" Xia Ning whispered.
Xia Ning was talking about gold. After Xia Pingan gave her 10 million, Xia Pingan asked her to buy 30 kilograms of gold and some gold jewelry in July before the great change.
As a civilian, buying gold in troubled times was an eternal truth.
Sure enough, in August, gold was no longer easy to buy in gold shops everywhere. Even the price of all kinds of gold jewelry and gold luxury goods had skyrocketed.
After August 15th, when everyone came out of the fallout shelter, all the gold on the market was gone. Bank withdrawals and paper currency transactions were restricted by the Military Control Committee. Black markets were rampant in all the cities, and precious metals and barter were used for transactions.
"The plane will take off in five minutes. Everyone, please board as soon as possible …" A soldier came out of the Kunpeng transport plane with a loudspeaker and shouted to the people on the tarmac.
"Go …" Xia Pingan suppressed his sadness and tried not to let his tears fall. He patted Xia Ning lightly.
"Brother, Tianshou City. Do you remember it?" Xia Ning asked while crying.
"I'll remember it!" Xia Pingan nodded.
Tianshou City was the code name of the Doomsday Bunker that Xia Ning wanted to go to. Xia Pingan didn't know where it was exactly.
"Brother, I'll wait for you in Tianshou City. You must come. Don't lie to me …"
"Okay!"
Xia Ning, who was wearing a thick down jacket and carrying a large suitcase, walked to the end of the plane. She turned back and waved at Xia Pingan with tears flowing down her face. Finally, she boarded the plane.
Five minutes later, Xia Pingan had to leave the tarmac and return to the VIP lounge near the tarmac. Through the glass, he watched the huge plane slowly enter the runway from the tarmac. After a long glide, it jumped into the blood-red sky and disappeared bit by bit.
"Don't worry. Xia Ning has grown up. She can take care of herself. She learned a lot at the base these days …" An Qing comforted him.
Xia Pingan hadn't seen An Qing for a few months. Today, he took the time to return to Xianghe City to say goodbye to Xia Ning. Only then did he see An Qing again.
Compared to a few months ago, An Qing's temperament was still so sunny and beautiful. It hadn't changed at all. The only thing that had changed was that An Qing's clothes had changed into a summoner's black combat uniform. At the same time, An Qing's hair had been cut short, making her look clean and neat.
"When are you returning to Xinchuan?" Li Yunzhou asked. Li Yunzhou and Xia Pingan also came to send Xia Ning off.
Li Yunzhou's arm was comminuted and was seriously injured. Even now, he hadn't fully recovered. However, the situation was tense, so he had no choice but to come out and carry out his mission.
"I'm going back tonight. There's a Requiem Ceremony tomorrow …" Xia Pingan replied.
"I feel like the past few months are like a dream. How did you become the 87th Legion's Priest in the blink of an eye? Now, even the people in Xianghe City know that the Requiem Ceremony held by the 87th Legion's Priest has extraordinary effects …" Li Yunzhou sighed. Everything had changed in the past few months. The one who had changed the most was actually Xia Pingan.
Half a year ago, Xia Pingan was still a rookie. Who would have thought that in less than half a year, Xia Pingan had already grown to such a level? Now, Li Yunzhou couldn't see the depth of Xia Pingan's strength at all. He only felt that Xia Pingan seemed to have become much stronger than before he left Xinchuan Demon Guard.
Looking at the legion's Priest badge hanging on Xia Pingan's chest, Li Yunzhou realized that he couldn't even be jealous of Xia Pingan. This guy looked ordinary and harmless, but he was actually a monster.
An Qing glanced at Li Yunzhou from the side and suddenly said, "I remember that someone said that if Xia Pingan could perfectly fuse with the Realm Pearl of God, someone would lick his shoes and call him master …"
Li Yunzhou coughed guiltily. Actually, he also suspected that Xia Pingan had perfectly fused with the Realm Pearl of God. Otherwise, Xia Pingan's Requiem Banner wouldn't be so powerful and have such a shocking phenomenon. He guessed that Xia Pingan didn't embarrass him back then because he didn't want to embarrass him …
Li Yunzhou hurriedly changed the topic. "Ahem, by the way, Lao Zhou has already modified your pickup truck for you. It's parked in the underground parking lot of the base. You can drive it back when you go back this time. Lao Zhou has already mentioned it many times …"
Putting aside the matter of the pickup truck, Xia Pingan almost forgot that he had bought a second-hand pickup truck. However, that second-hand pickup truck had only been driven for two days before Old Zhou picked it up and modified it. After that, he was transferred to the Demon Suppression Guard. In the past few months, he had not had the chance to see it again.
Coincidentally, he took the 87th Legion's military plane to Xianghe to transport goods today. He could drive his pickup truck back to Xinchuan after a while.
"Okay!" Xia Pingan nodded.
"Then let's go back to the base first!"
When the three of them walked out of the airport, the soldiers stationed outside the airport saw the legion priest badge hanging on Xia Pingan's chest. They hurriedly saluted and looked at Xia Pingan respectfully as he got into the car and left the airport. …
…
More than forty minutes later, Xia Pingan returned to the base of the Xianghe Committee of Order again. He saw his pickup truck again. However, that pickup truck had changed beyond recognition. Even Xia Pingan couldn't recognize it.
Previously, the pickup truck that Xia Pingan drove was a four-wheeled four-wheeled one. At this moment, the pickup truck in front of him had become a six-wheeled six-wheeled one. Just this little change was enough to make people completely unable to recognize it.
The entire car's shape had also been reborn. It had become angular, powerful, and domineering. The four exhaust pipes were like four fangs on both sides of the roof. The entire car looked like a black beast.
Xia Pingan walked to the front of the pickup truck and knocked on the guard of the pickup truck. He found that the pickup truck's body material had been changed to a high-strength super carbon fiber material.
Xia Pingan used to repair cars, so he was very familiar with these materials. Because super carbon fiber was expensive, it was usually only used in supercars. It not only reduced the weight of the car, but also provided super strong protection for the car.
Not to mention other things, just the super carbon fiber material used in this car was many times more valuable than his previous second-hand pickup truck.
This wasn't all. The black carbon fiber car was also covered with a layer of black composite explosion-proof armor. The explosion-proof armor also had a bulletproof coating.
Just looking at the exterior of the car was enough to make one's jaw drop.
He opened the door. The door was extremely thick, and the windows were thicker than Xia Pingan's fist. There were six layers of bulletproof glass.
The interior of the car was completely different from what Xia Pingan had seen.
"Uncle Zhou, how much did it cost to modify this car?" Xia Pingan turned his head and asked Lao Zhou next to him.
"It didn't cost much. The modification materials cost a total of more than five million …" Lao Zhou said calmly, "The chassis, engine, gearbox, explosion-proof tires, suspension, seats, equipment, and exterior of the car have all been changed. This car's frame is not bad. After some modifications, it's still passable. I sealed the rear compartment and made a detachable movable roof. It's safer. I also used part of the rear compartment's space to add a larger auxiliary fuel tank. The rear compartment's space has shrunk a little, but with the auxiliary fuel tank, it can run 1400 kilometers with a full tank of fuel …"
Xia Pingan scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. Lao Zhou said that the modification materials cost more than five million. That was definitely the cost of the materials, and it didn't include the cost of the craftsmanship. "Uncle Zhou, I don't have that much money now. I still have a boundary pearl here. Why don't I give it to you to repay the debt first …"
Old Zhou glanced at Xia Pingan. "What do I need the realm bead for? Just do your job as the army's priest. The modification fees will be paid by the Order Committee. Count it as your equipment fee. Dean Mo approved it a few months ago, so don't worry. If you want to thank me, when I'm gone, you can give me a requiem ceremony as well. Consider it as your thanks. In the storage box at the back of the car, I've placed some weapons that you might need …"
