Sitting in the car, looking at Xia Ning running after the car in the rearview mirror and waving from behind, Xia Pingan can't help but feel a little sad.
He was calm before because he didn't want Xia Ning to worry and feel sad. In his heart, Xia Pingan was also sad.
This parting might be forever.
He only hoped that time would dilute everything.
Major Liu Li, who was driving, saw Xia Pingan's sadness and comforted him, "Don't worry, all the families of the people involved in the" Patchwork Heavens Plan "will receive the best care and protection in the Fire Country. We have a special organization and personnel in charge of this. After Xia Ning graduates from the National Capital University, we will provide her with room for development according to her wishes!"
The car had already driven out of the hotel. Xia Pingan exhaled and threw away the sadness in his heart. He wasn't worried about Xia Ning. If she couldn't even handle this in the Fire Country, she would be too incompetent.
Moreover, before coming here, he had already made some arrangements in Yi Province. Before coming here, he gave his old colleagues in the Xianghe Committee of Order, Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, Li Yunzhou, Lao Zhou, An Qing, Fang Lingshan, Guo Wei, and Manzijin each a set of Foundation Establishment Realm Beads and a set of Slave Soldier Realm Beads as souvenirs.
After this wave of monsters was eliminated, there would be no space invasion for the next 18 years, which meant that there would be no new Realm Beads. If he wanted to train more summoners, he could only consume these stored Realm Beads. These Realm Beads would become more and more precious and valuable. In Yi Province, besides the old man who promised to take care of him, he had friends and acquaintances everywhere. He had formed a lot of good karma in Yi Province. In the future, those people would have a lot of power in the Committee of Order or the army. One by one, they would step into important positions and leadership positions. It could be said that if Xia Ning returned to Yi Province now, he would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted.
Manzijin wanted to come with her, but she didn't have a spot and was rejected by the old man.
Other than the Realm Pearl, he had also given the super pickup truck that Lao Zhou had built for him to Manzijin. Manzijin was now a colonel and was in charge of reorganizing the 87th Legion's Fire Dragon Commando Team. She had been with him for a long time and had accumulated a wealth of experience in fighting against magical creatures. In the future, she would become the commanding officer of the 87th Corps Fire Dragon Commando.
His friendship with the 87th Legion was quite deep.
Although Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, and the others didn't know about the "Skymender Plan", they could guess that they might be going on some dangerous mission. When they parted, they were a little sad. They all promised to take good care of Xia Ning in the future.
Thinking of the arrangements he had made, Xia Pingan felt completely relaxed. He was no longer worried about Xia Ning.
Xia Ning had grown up. She would have her own life. As for himself, he would just treat this mission as a rare trip to another world. After all, he was born to love adventure.
However, the fact that Major Liu Li also knew about the "Skymender Plan" was a little out of Xia Pingan's expectations. Wasn't the "Skymender Plan" supposed to be the top secret of the Fire Country? How did a major in charge of receiving him know about it?
Major Liu Li glanced at Xia Pingan. She seemed to know what Xia Pingan was thinking. With a calm expression, she said softly, "My father was also a summoner. He was part of the second batch of people to participate in the" Skymender Plan ". He left when I was seven and never came back. No one knew if he was still alive or not. All these years, no one in my family knew what he had been doing. It wasn't until I joined the army that I came into contact with some confidential information due to work that I saw his name and file in the" Skymender Plan ". Oh right, here's his photo …"
Major Liu Li held the steering wheel with one hand and took out an old photo from her pocket with the other. She handed it to Xia Pingan. "My father's name is Liu Shanhe. If you see him when you go there, tell him. My mother and I don't blame him …"
Xia Pingan took the photo and looked at it. In the photo, there was a handsome man in his thirties. The man was holding the hand of a little girl in a one-piece dress. The background of the two was a ferris wheel. From the looks of it, the little girl was Major Liu Li when she was still young.
The photo was yellowed and slightly worn. It seemed that this photo had been taken out many times over the years.
Just this photo alone contained so much of the family's longing.
"Okay, I will pass your message to him if I see him!" Xia Pingan returned the photo.
Liu Shanhe had not returned, most likely because he had sacrificed himself. Major Liu Li should understand this. But even so, Major Liu Li still wanted him to pass a message to Liu Shanhe. This obsession was perhaps the greatest consolation and hope for those who remained in this world. They hoped that their loved ones were still alive.
Xia Pingan couldn't bear to expose her.
Major Liu Li directly drove Xia Pingan to a heavily guarded military base in the Capital Ring before leaving.
Yan Duo's room was right beside Xia Pingan's.
When Xia Pingan saw Yan Duo, the first thing that Yan Duo said was, "I didn't expect that there would be a woman in this' Skymender Plan ', and she's quite pretty!"
"You saw her?"
"Yes, she lives upstairs. I wanted to have a chat with her just now, but I didn't expect her to be so arrogant. She told me to scram!" Yan Duo said without a hint of embarrassment.
Xia Pingan was speechless. Yan Duo had a head of white hair and looked quite cold. Those who didn't know him would think that he was a cold person. However, after getting to know him better, Xia Pingan realized that this guy was almost the same as Li Yunzhou. They were both idiots. The only difference was that this guy was braver than Li Yunzhou. He dared to think, do, and take risks. Li Yunzhou, on the other hand, was good at talking.
This guy still had the mood to pick up girls at a time like this. It would be strange if he was in the mood to talk to him.
"We're leaving early tomorrow morning. Let's sleep!" Xia Pingan said to Yan Duo before returning to his room to rest. He really wasn't in the mood to make friends tonight.
…
Early the next morning, after waking up, washing up, and having breakfast in the barracks, Xia Pingan saw the other 52 people.
Just as Yan Duo had said, there were indeed women. Among the 54 summoners participating in the 'Skymender Plan' in the Fire Country, there were eight female summoners. None of them were ugly. Not only were they not ugly, but they were also very beautiful. All of them were as good-looking as An Qing and Fang Lingshan. Two of them even stunned Xia Pingan.
Not only that, none of these summoners were weak. All of them were at the Second Realm or above.
After breakfast, it was 8: 30 a.m. Li Chongyang, the most powerful person in the Great Yan Republic, came to the barracks and said goodbye to everyone.
They had seen this person many times on the media and radio, but this was the first time they had seen him up close.
As a summoner and the most powerful person in the country, Li Chongyang had a powerful aura. He was awe-inspiring without being angry and inexplicably gave people confidence.
This is a tragedy for all of us. In the past few months, the Fire Country has suffered a catastrophe. Countless cities, villages, and people's homes have been destroyed by the space invasion. More than 100 million people have been killed in the country. Even now, those monsters are still wreaking havoc on our land. Every day, people die, and the war has never stopped … "
Li Chongyang glanced at the 54 faces. His deep voice resounded in Xia Pingan's ears.
"This war has been going on for countless years. It started with our ancestors and has continued until now. If there is a chance to end this disaster and save our descendants from such fear, even if there is only a one percent chance, we will try. We will never give up. You are the most outstanding children of the Fire Country, the elites of the human race, the true warriors, and the most powerful summoners among your peers. You are the hope of this country and the hope of this world!
"I hope that all of you can return safely, but I also know that the chances of survival are slim. Perhaps you won't be able to return, just like my son. He was part of the third batch of people to enter the 'Skymender Plan', and he sacrificed himself over there. I can't promise you anything, but the only thing I can promise you is that as long as the Space Invasion continues, and as long as that world's Dark Tower is not destroyed, we will continue to fight until we succeed. This bowl of wine is for everyone's sake. Let me offer you a toast!"
A soldier brought out wine jars, opened them, and poured a bowl of wine for everyone.
The wine in the bowl was good wine, and its fragrance filled the air.
Li Chongyang raised his head and finished the bowl of wine in his hand. Then, he smashed the bowl on the ground and shattered it.
The atmosphere at the scene was heroic and surging!
Everyone drank the wine and smashed the wine bowl.
When the strong wine entered their throats, everyone was burning.
"The fifth batch of people to enter the 'Skymender Plan' of the Great Yan Republic, depart …" Li Chongyang roared at the end, his eyes bloodshot.
Everyone left the barracks and entered the military port. They boarded a 10,000-ton cruiser. After the cruiser sounded its horn a few times, it slowly left the military port.
Following the cruiser were two destroyers from the Fire Country, two nuclear submarines, and an ocean-going comprehensive supply ship.
In order to send the 54 people, the Great Fire Country sent a small fleet of battleships.
Amidst the sea breeze, the fleet sailed out of the capital's bay area. The two nuclear submarines were like two huge black fish that slowly sank into the water.
The four ships on the surface of the water directly sailed toward the south.
Xia Pingan stood on the deck of the cruiser and looked at the undulating coastline that was gradually moving away. His thoughts were also undulating like the coastline.
"That's too stingy. I thought the higher-ups would give each of us eight or ten Realm Pearls …" Yan Duo muttered to Xia Pingan.
This fellow …
