Mond seemed to sigh, but he did not. After listening to Zola's mission report, he focused his attention on Chung Shen-soo. "You're Li Wei? This time, it's all thanks to you … You were a Demon Hunter before, and you hid your strength? "
This was what Zola and Chung Shen-soo had said in collusion.
After all, it was too shocking for an ordinary person to become a mid-level dependent Demon Hunter, and it could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
And for a low-level dependent Demon Hunter to take the risk to advance when he was in danger, it was much more reasonable.
As for why he hid it before, it was normal for a lone wanderer to keep a few trump cards.
"Yes, please forgive me for my previous offense."
Chung Shen-soo bowed.
"No wonder … I was wondering how an ordinary person could wander the wasteland safely. Now everything has a reasonable explanation."
Mond laughed. "Are you worried that the Sky City will not accept foreign Demon Hunters? Hmm … We do have this rule, but it can be changed. After all, you look like you're in good condition, just like those Demon Hunters who advanced through the orthodox path. You've also helped us and made contributions in this exploration. "
"Thank you for your tolerance."
Chung Shen-soo thanked him again.
It had to be said that Mond had a lot of power in the convoy. With his endorsement, even foreign Demon Hunters could join the Sky City without a problem.
Although rules were rules, in the eyes of many higher-ups, they could be broken and bypassed.
"There are also good people among the wandering Demon Hunters. Of course, those people don't count …"
Mond pointed at the captive outside and shook his head. "I hope you're worthy of this trust …"
…
A month later.
A huge steel chariot rampaged through the wasteland.
Chung Shen-soo was locked in the capsule room, familiarizing himself with his various abilities.
"Hmm, the ability that the Faceless Spirit gave me is mainly related to dreams. I can connect to other people's dreams and bring comfort, information, or harm. It's not a problem to even complete the achievement of killing people in their dreams …"
"In addition, I can actively enter dreams to avoid a lot of mental pollution and harm, or use dreams to cover reality and have a certain protective effect?"
"Finally, there's an insignificant increase in physique, and …"
Chung Shen-soo looked at his arm.
In his mind, the arm gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely.
"Invisibility like a chameleon? Not bad … "
Just as he was testing out his various abilities, Rachel knocked on the door outside. "Li Wei … we're almost there."
"Hmm?"
Chung Shen-soo's interest was piqued. He walked out of his room and climbed onto the turret with Rachel.
"We're almost home."
Rachel did not look very happy. She seemed to be thinking about the large number of teammates who had sacrificed themselves. "And Li Wei … the captain has agreed to transfer you to our team as an official member instead of a laborer. This means that you can directly become a member of Sky City. Are you happy?"
"Happy!"
Chung Shen-soo replied very perfunctorily.
He was interested in the City in the Sky purely because it was the largest known human settlement, and there might be a lot of resources and intelligence there.
Everything else aside, just the Original Opus alone was enough to make him salivate.
"The first half is fine. Some of the technological creations haven't formed an industrial chain and scale, and one person can't play with them at all … The second half is very suitable, especially the part about how to digest the Abominations."
Ordinary dependent monsters could be forcibly accommodated.
But the Abominations were different!
They had completely mutated and possessed extremely terrifying power. They were equivalent to moving catastrophes, such as the King of Black Fog!
Forcibly accommodating their characteristics, even for Chung Shen-soo, there was a high probability that something would happen to him.
Therefore, he still had to find auxiliary steps and rituals.
"Hmm … I came to this world with the intention of exploring the mysteries of the true gods … I wonder if there are any records of it in the Original Opus …
"Let's not talk about that first. Since Sky City has experienced the Abomination Calamity twice, will it retain the organs of the Abominations?
"If I can swallow them in the right way, won't I reach the heavens in a single step?"
Just as Chung Shen-soo's thoughts wandered, he saw a shadow suddenly appear at the end of the distant sky.
The shadow kept enlarging, turning into huge airships one after another.
Countless air sacs floated tens of thousands of feet in the air like cigars, and were connected to the passageway by specific ropes. Combining with each other, they formed a huge floating island.
"Awoo!"
"Roar!"
Some of the scavengers, who had long accumulated a lot of depression and madness along the way, were now shouting loudly, while others took off their shirts and waved, venting the joy of returning home.
"We're finally home. This trip was really long …" Rachel mumbled.
Rachel murmured, "We could've … We could've just stayed in the City in the Sky and not gone anywhere …"
"The big shots above naturally have their considerations. Moreover, Sky City doesn't completely lack resources from the ground, such as source stones and the Original Opus …"
Zola appeared out of nowhere and gave Rachel a chop on the head. At the same time, she looked at Chung Shen-soo. "Everyone has to go through a strict inspection before entering the city, especially you. After all, according to the files, you're a foreign demon hunter … I'm warning you in advance, the inspection may be very strict, so be mentally prepared."
"Alright."
Chung Shen-soo shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
Next, he saw an airship at the edge of Sky City disconnect and slowly descend.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the size of the airship. It almost covered the sky.
And it was only a small part of Sky City!
As he got closer, Chung Shen-soo saw Mond ordering people to use flags and signal guns to send a message, and he could not help but feel a little emotional.
"At least there were radios in this world before the apocalypse, but now they can't even make wireless radio …"
"It's also possible that their technology tree has gone awry … After all, they even have multi-turreted mobile fortresses and steam-steel mecha, how can they not have wireless technology?"
"Everyone, come out for disinfection and inspection!"
Mond saw the airship landing and immediately passed down the order.
For him, this was the last hurdle of the journey, and he had to strictly control it.
After all, in the history of Sky City, there were cases of members of the team being infected by parasites and causing great disasters!
"It's going to be disinfected again," Rachel muttered.
She could not help but grumble when she saw the hatch at the back of the airship open and a group of people in white protective suits disembark.
They were carrying what looked like pesticide sprays on their backs, and they were raising their nozzles in a neat row, like soldiers ready to carry out a strict disinfection of the convoy.
