The two sides of the blood river were two completely different worlds. On one side, it was sunny and sunny, while on the other side, it was a bloody rain that spanned thousands of kilometers. The mountains and rivers were stained with blood, making it look like hell.
When Zhou Wen and Xu Wen arrived at the blood river, Lu Yunxian had already led the officers across the river.
"Head Nurse Xu, why are you here?" The junior officer who stayed behind hurriedly greeted Xu Wen when he saw her.
"I really can't feel at ease staying at the encampment. I think it's best we wait here for Commander Lu and the rest to return," Xu Wen said as she sized up the interior of the car.
Although she felt that she shouldn't cross the river and that she had to obey orders to take care of Zhou Wen, her eyes couldn't help but look inside the car, hoping to find the remaining special raincoats.
Without the special raincoats, it was impossible to move an inch in the blood rain. One would turn into a lunatic the moment they came into contact with the rain. They would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
Unfortunately, the number of special raincoats was limited. Ouyang Lan and An Sheng had taken away two batches, so there weren't many left. Lu Yunxian and company had only obtained more than ten, so only a dozen people crossed the river. The rest could only stay here and wait for reinforcements.
Without the special raincoats, Xu Wen was extremely disappointed. It was impossible for her to cross the river now.
Zhou Wen stood by the blood river and looked at the vast blood rain across from him. He had mixed feelings. Before coming to Zhuolu, he felt that he definitely wouldn't enter the ancient battlefield. He would only game outside and be of some help.
But now, he had to cross the river and personally enter that terrifying place.
I hope I don't have to use the words left behind by Teacher. Zhou Wen felt that there shouldn't be too much danger. He already had a good understanding of the ancient battlefield in-game. As long as he didn't enter the traces, there wouldn't be too much danger.
"Are there any more raincoats?" Zhou Wen asked the officer.
Xu Wen said, "There are too few raincoats. Commander Lu and the rest don't even have enough, so how can there be any left? Don't let your imagination run wild. Just wait here for Commander Lu and the rest to return. With Commander Lu and Adjutant An's abilities, they will definitely be able to save Madam Lan and Old Mister Ouyang and return safely. "
Zhou Wen stood by the blood river and looked across the river. He slowly said, "You're right. Ah Sheng and company are very outstanding. Perhaps they can return safely."
With that said, Zhou Wen paused for a moment as the glint in his eyes gradually turned sharp. He then said, "Unfortunately, I'm a person who doesn't like gambling. I can't sit here and wait for the needle of the wheel of fortune to stop. I can't watch the needle cycle between luck and misfortune without doing anything. I want to control the needle and the wheel to stop where I want them."
The more Xu Ji heard, the more she felt that something was amiss. When she heard that, her expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Wen's body, which was wrapped in black armor, suddenly run towards the blood river. In a few steps, he reached the edge of the river bank and leaped up, charging towards the opposite bank.
Xu Wen and company were alarmed. Without any hesitation, Xu Wen reached out to grab an umbrella beside her. At the same time, she summoned a strange bird that flickered with lightning. The lightning bird transformed into a pair of wings and landed on her back.
Although Zhou Wen was wearing armor, the armor couldn't protect his entire body. There would still be blood rain falling on him. From Xu Wen's point of view, Zhou Wen's actions were courting death.
The lightning wings on Xu Wen's back flapped as she immediately streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning. She caught up to Zhou Wen, who was about to rush into the blood rain, and grabbed his shoulder. At the same time, she opened the umbrella to block the falling raindrops.
"Are you crazy?" Zhou Wen looked at Xu Wen, feeling perplexed.
It was impossible for the umbrella to block all the blood rain. Furthermore, Xu Wen was mainly using the umbrella to cover Zhou Wen's body. Many of the blood rain splattered on her body.
Although she had already summoned an armored Companion Beast to protect her, she was unable to wrap her entire body in the armor. A few drops of blood still landed on her cheek.
Zhou Wen couldn't understand why Xu Wen would do that. She had nothing to do with him, and she didn't seem to like him. However, she had risked her life to rush over. This was something Zhou Wen couldn't understand from his worldview.
"You're the crazy one. Go back." Xu Wen grabbed Zhou Wen and exerted strength with the wings on her back, hoping to fly back to the other side.
However, she had underestimated the infecting ability of the blood rain. In an instant, Xu Wen's pupils turned red as though blood was about to drip down. Her consciousness suddenly blurred as she nearly fell from the sky into the river of blood.
With the last bit of rationality she had left, Xu Wen threw Zhou Wen to the other side and landed on the shore shrouded in the blood rain. She held the umbrella and stood motionless in the blood rain. She knew that she couldn't return.
"Wait for Commander Lu and the others to return. You aren't young anymore. Don't always cause trouble for others. No one can always protect you." Xu Wen's voice gradually turned hoarse as her eyes gradually turned ferocious. Blood vessels began to bulge around her eyes.
"Bastard … You bastard …" When the officer on the other side saw this scene, he felt like tearing Zhou Wen apart as he roared in grief and indignation.
In midair, Zhou Wen looked at Xu Wen with an odd expression. He was a relatively indifferent person, so he couldn't understand why Xu Wen would do such a thing for a stranger she didn't like. However, at that moment, he didn't want Xu Wen to die just like that.
Using the momentum in midair, he circled around like a strange bird and charged towards the other side in midair. Like an arrow that had left the bowstring, he shot towards Xu Wen who was standing with an umbrella on the other side.
When Xu Wen saw Zhou Wen turn back in midair, she wanted to say something, but her consciousness turned blurry. A violent emotion filled her nerves.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Xu Wen only wanted to kill. She yearned to see blood. Any life in her eyes became filthy, as though only killing and blood could make her feel comfortable.
Boom!
She released the umbrella in her hand and allowed it to fall to the ground. Xu Wen pressed her palms together as the wings on her back crackled with lightning. Her entire body seemed to be enveloped by lightning as she struck out with both hands, transforming into a bolt of lightning that blasted towards Zhou Wen.
The officers on the other side watched helplessly as this scene unfolded, but they couldn't do anything. They felt so uncomfortable that they nearly went crazy.
From their point of view, Zhou Wen was definitely doomed when facing Xu Wen's attack in midair. Even if he was lucky enough not to be killed, he would end up like Xu Wen once he fell into the blood river.
The green lightning was like a strange snake that was about to devour Zhou Wen in midair.
However, in front of everyone, Zhou Wen's figure suddenly turned blurry as he vanished into thin air. It left the officers stunned.
When they saw Zhou Wen again, they realized that he was already standing on the other side of the river. He was standing behind Xu Wen, his body emitting a faint white light. One hand was holding onto the umbrella that was about to fall to the ground, and the other hand seemed to be holding something as it stabbed into Xu Wen's neck.
Xu Wen, whose eyes were bloodshot, immediately slumped to the ground. Zhou Wen held the umbrella with one hand and hugged Xu Wen with the other. He leaped into the air and returned to the other side like an eagle.
