"Pfft …" Yan Duo couldn't help but spit out all the wine in his mouth onto Wuzhan Feng's face.
Yan Duo turned his head and stared at where Xia Pingan was. The expression on his face could no longer be described with the word 'astonishment'.
Wuzhan Feng, who was sprayed with wine, also seemed to have forgotten about the wine on his face. He also looked at where Xia Pingan was in astonishment.
The restaurant was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. The people who were still chatting were all silent. Everyone turned their heads and looked at where Xia Pingan and Ming Ruolan were.
Yan Duo was also very surprised — what was going on? The first thing that the beautiful Ming Ruolan, whose temperament was like an orchid in an empty valley, said in public was to confess her love to Xia Pingan?
Standing where Yan Duo was and looking at Ming Ruolan and Xia Pingan, he could see Ming Ruolan's curvy figure.
Ming Ruolan's gorgeous long dress dragged on the ground, like the bright moonlight sprinkling on the ground. Ming Ruolan, who was wearing high heels, didn't lose to Xia Pingan at all. She was even slightly taller. Her beautiful side profile and her beautiful black hair were all soul-stirring.
Where am I lacking? After the surprise, Yan Duo felt inexplicably indignant.
Xia Pingan never flirted with girls. He didn't have any interaction with Ming Ruolan before. Why were all these girls rushing to Xia Pingan's side? Did Xia Pingan awaken some ability to bewitch women and didn't tell him?
Then …
Under everyone's gaze, Xia Pingan didn't say anything. He just left the restaurant with Ming Ruolan.
Were they … going to the bridal chamber? Xia Pingan, you beast!
Yan Duo's thoughts were running wild. Then, he saw Wu Zhan Feng wiping the wine off his face and staring at him …
When Xia Pingan and Ming Ruolan left the restaurant, the others were naturally too embarrassed to chase after them. Fortunately, the two didn't seem to have gone too far. Through the restaurant's glass wall, they could see Xia Pingan and Ming Ruolan walking to the garden outside the restaurant. From here, they could still see their backs.
Xia Pingan exchanged a few words with Ming Ruolan. After that, Ming Ruolan smiled and left. Only Xia Pingan returned to the restaurant.
Yan Duo couldn't help but lean over and ask in a low voice, "Have you known Ming Ruolan for a long time?"
"This is the first time we've spoken today!" Xia Pingan shrugged.
"Then why did she …"
"That girl is a little special. She's different from the masses!"
"What's so special?"
"I promised her that I would keep her secret!"
Yan Duo smiled evilly and winked at Xia Pingan. He looked like he deserved a beating. "You didn't promise her, did you?"
"Promise what?"
"Uh … that … to become her husband?"
"I promised her that we could be friends in the future!"
"That's it?" Yan Duo seemed to be in disbelief as he watched the juicy gossip fly away in front of him.
"What else?"
Although the two of them were talking in the restaurant, the people around them were listening attentively. They heard Xia Pingan's words.
They didn't expect Ming Ruolan to make a surprise appearance at the last dinner before they left. She even almost made a small "scandal" that could make people's eyeballs pop out. This was interesting.
What was so special about Ming Ruolan? Why would such a woman look at Xia Pingan in a different light?
Many people had this question in their hearts.
However, Xia Pingan didn't say anything, so everyone could only keep this small question in their hearts.
Only Jiang Duoer's gaze towards Xia Pingan became brighter and deeper.
Among everyone, only Jiang Duoer could roughly guess something. Jiang Duoer also knew why Ming Ruolan was usually cold and didn't like to interact with people.
This was because Ming Ruolan had awakened a very powerful mind-reading ability.
For such a beautiful woman with such an ability, interacting with people was a very painful thing for Ming Ruolan.
Ming Ruolan knew very well what men and women would think when they saw her.
Therefore, Ming Ruolan preferred to be alone most of the time. To Ming Ruolan, being alone was a special kind of "mysophobia". This ability and long-term habit of being alone also made Ming Ruolan's behavior very different from the rest.
However, Ming Ruolan actually trusted Xia Pingan. This was out of Jiang Duoer's expectations.
Unless …
In Ming Ruolan's eyes, Xia Pingan's heart was "very clean". It was so clean that Ming Ruolan trusted him.
Tonight's banquet ended just like that …
For the 54 people who participated in the Skymender Plan, many of them found "teammates" tonight. Even if they didn't, they still got to know each other better.
…
Early the next morning, after a night of rest, the 54 people, including Xia Pingan, came to the teleportation area of the base for the first time.
The teleportation area was at the bottom of the base. It was heavily guarded. To enter the teleportation area, they had to pass through several security doors.
General Zhang Yuzhong personally led everyone into the huge round room where the spatial rift leading to the other world was located.
In the center of the room, more than two meters above the ground, there were two huge metal rings. In the middle of the two metal rings, there was a 20-meter-tall circular spatial rift that was flashing with milky white light in front of everyone's eyes.
That spatial rift was different from all the spatial rifts that Xia Pingan had seen before. The spatial rift in front of them was like a kaleidoscope that bullied people's eyes. White light and fog rolled inside. Looking at it from different angles, the spatial rift gave people a completely different feeling.
In some people's eyes, the spatial rift was rolling outwards as if it was going to spit out something at any time. In others' eyes, the spatial rift was shrinking inwards as if it was going to swallow something at any time.
This place was heavily guarded. The entire building was like a huge metal ball that could be sealed off at any time. A large group of soldiers and summoners were stationed here. At the same time, a group of researchers and scientists in white coats were busy in the surrounding rooms.
"General, everything is normal with the spatial rift. We can teleport at any time!" A scientist in a white coat and glasses walked over and reported to Zhang Yuzhong.
Zhang Yuzhong nodded. He looked at the 54 students and said calmly, "The situation at the spatial rift is normal. Girls, go over first!"
Eight female summoners, including Jiang Duo 'er and Ming Ruolan, walked out of the team and stood in front of the spatial rift one by one.
"Salute …" Following Zhang Yuzhong's order, all the soldiers present gave them a solemn military salute.
Although the eight female summoners were women, their actions at this moment were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness. They were not afraid of death and had a heroic spirit that was not inferior to men.
The eight women did not hesitate. They stepped into the spatial rift together and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia Pingan and the others were waiting patiently below!
According to the base, the other side of the spatial rift was in a huge cave on a deserted island.
The deserted island was located in the sea southwest of the Mujiao Continent, one of the nine continents of the Yuanqiu World. The island was more than three hundred miles away from the coast. There were a few small family forces near the coast and a bustling port city. As long as they reached the island, they could use the trees on the island to build boats and rafts to leave.
Of course, if they were confident in their swimming ability, they could also try to swim over. Three hundred miles was not far. In the sea near the island, there were no powerful sea monsters except for sharks and sea snakes.
The first few batches of people who entered had already renovated the cave on the island and turned it into a secret stronghold. They left a lot of things in the cave, such as clothes and some belongings. Jiang Duo 'er and the others were not in any danger in the cave.
After waiting for two hours, Zhang Yuzhong spoke again. He nodded at Xia Pingan and the others. "You can go over now …"
Xia Pingan and the others also walked to the spatial rift on the platform.
Forty-six men, just like forty-six members of a suicide squad going on an expedition.
"Salute …" General Zhang Yuzhong and the soldiers present saluted Xia Pingan and the others again.
After taking one last look at the base, Xia Pingan was the first to walk into the spatial rift.
The others also walked into the spatial rift one by one. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared in front of everyone in the base.
… …
Zhang Yuzhong watched Xia Pingan and the others leave. His lips were tightly pursed. There was respect in his eyes, but also a trace of pain and regret that others could not detect.
These 54 people were the elites of the younger generation of summoners in the Great Fire Country. These 54 people would most likely die. Even if they survived, they might not be able to come back.
However, for the country, in order to end the catastrophe brought to this world by the spatial invasion, someone had to make a sacrifice. They were the ones who had to make that sacrifice.
Zhang Yuzhong stood in front of the spatial rift and looked at the unpredictable spatial rift. His body was as straight as a stone pillar, and he did not move for a long time.
A few minutes later, the spatial rift flashing with a milky white brilliance seemed to have some abnormalities. The white light inside started to distort irregularly, and there was a faint trace of red light coming out of the spatial rift.
This situation had never happened before. Zhang Yuzhong's expression changed slightly.
All the staff in the teleportation area suddenly became nervous.
The soldiers had already entered their respective combat positions. The summoners were ready to cast their spells. The muzzles of several electromagnetic cannons sliding on the dome of the teleportation space were already aimed at the spatial rift.
This spatial crack was two-way, so there was no telling what would come out of it.
"Reporting to General, we have detected spatial turbulence. It has already interfered with the stability of the spatial rift …" The scientist wearing a white coat and glasses ran over, sweating profusely.
Spatial turbulence, not a spatial invasion. That was fine?
The spatial turbulence lasted for two minutes before disappearing. The spatial rift was normal.
Zhang Yuzhong sighed in relief …
