Li Xiang put away his weapon and looked at the giant man who was groaning on the ground. He took a black chain from the night watcher and tied him up. He dragged him slowly on the ground, leaving a trail in the snow.
He first returned to the base of the Third Garrison Team and asked Tea to take care of Lori. After bidding farewell to Jero, he embarked on his journey to the colosseum.
The nineteen bases of the Great Wall of Disaster were all extremely far away from each other. They had to pass through many sealed areas to reach each other.
Because the Night Watchers and city guards were extremely powerful, they usually traveled on foot instead of using any means of transportation. Moreover, it was not easy to use any means of transportation on the Great Wall of Disaster.
If he flew in the sky rashly, he would easily become a target for attack.
Li Xiang took two portions of dry rations and water and dragged the giant toward the transportation fortress.
There were bases of different sizes within the Great Wall of Disaster. These bases acted as the first line of defense and were united together, forming a huge city.
Behind the bases were towns of different styles.
These towns were controlled by the Night Watchers of the respective bases. The wealthy families of the Seven Continents had invested in these towns to provide the necessary support for the Great Wall of Disaster. Originally, there were many bars and taverns for entertainment, shops that repaired weapons and equipment, and black markets that sold all sorts of special items. However, as the people of the Seven Continents became more and more unwilling to come to the Great Wall of Disaster, most of the people sent to these towns were members of organizations that had been abandoned. They lost interest and had no intention of benefiting their organizations or families.
As time passed, these towns became empty. Some of them had even been empty for many years. There were only a few residents left, and they had no ability to provide support or production.
Take Iceshen City for example. Now, the city guards and Night Watchers had to grow their own food, and their weapons and equipment had to be repaired by their own Mechanics. The support towns at the back were empty, and walking on the road was like walking in a ghost town.
The only consolation was that this place had once been incomparably prosperous, so the city's infrastructure was much better than the Great Wall of Disaster.
Li Xiang could not help but sigh inwardly.
This was clearly the frontline of the human faction's defense against the disaster, but the people of the Seven Continents subconsciously viewed this place as an ominous place. They were not even willing to mention it.
Take the Ice Scar City as an example. It was originally a super stronghold, but because there was no corresponding talent, even the infrastructure of the stronghold was not completed properly. The entire stronghold was just a primitive tribe.
The town behind had been abandoned for a long time, as no faction had invested in it. However, the frequent night raids made the soldiers not dare to rest there. Otherwise, the walls would be filled with xenogeneics when they woke up.
In such a difficult situation, if it wasn't for the unflinching attitude and the tenacious will to fight, how could they have defended for so many years?
The current situation of the Great Wall of Disaster was much worse than Li Xiang had expected. The Night Queen was well aware of this, but based on their interactions, the conflict between her and the Seven Continents was deeply rooted. It was impossible for her to lower herself and beg the Five Thrones and the Three Great Powers for help.
Until now, the only major power that was still supporting the Great Wall of Disaster was Wessex.
The Five Great Sovereigns and the other two Great Leaders were only responsible for continuously transporting misfortunes and sinners to guard this place, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.
To be able to defend the front line time and time again under such difficult conditions, it had to be said that the strength of the soldiers and Night Watchers far surpassed that of the Magicians or players of the Seven Continents of the same level.
"If we stay here for a long time, we have to change the current situation of the Great Wall of Disaster. Material support, city defense, living conditions, none of these can be left behind." Li Xiang muttered to himself. After witnessing a bloody battle, he felt sorry for the soldiers who had died. They could have been more powerful, and there was no need for them to use their flesh and blood to stop the enemy's advance.
These sacrifices could be avoided.
The giant man looked at him with some confusion. His previously somewhat violent attitude had now undergone a 180-degree change.
"The Great Wall of Disaster has always been a thorn in the side of the Seven Continents. They don't dare to abandon this place, but they also don't dare to support it too much. Otherwise, if the faction here really rises, it might threaten the foundations of the Five Great Sovereigns."
The giant man no longer looked like a brute. His thoughts were clear, and his evaluation was pertinent.
Li Xiang was not surprised. He only continued, "One of the main characteristics of humans is that they have endless internal strife before their extinction. But I don't understand why even the Ochs Family doesn't help the Great Wall of Disaster. It seems like the Shield King is leaning towards this side. "
Moreover, he had a close relationship with the Shield King. The Shield King was also the only king among the Five Great Sovereigns who insisted on staying in the Northern Continent and had no intention of developing.
From their conversation, the Shield King had the same philosophy as the Polar night and the Lighthouse. That was why they had created the Polar night concept.
"The young master was born late, and did not come into contact with these things of the past. That's why you have such doubts." The giant man did not hide anything and simply revealed his identity. "The Five Great Sovereigns have another contract. They restrict each other. Although the White King is temporarily the leader, they all fear each other. In the early years, King Dong Ling and the Black King had a battle with the White King. King Dong Ling wants to be the best in the world, while the Black King wants supreme power. This is something that everyone knows."
After a pause, he looked at Li Xiang's expression and continued.
"The Polar night mage and the Night King of the Great Wall of Disaster are the only two people who can break this situation. As for the other three giants, Wessex is in charge of machinery, the Chronometer Tower is in charge of research, and Kataszhaofe is in charge of order. No matter who becomes the leader of the Seven Continents, their positions will not change or be shaken. Only a few committee members have the intention of participating in the dispute between the Five Great Sovereigns. They are all waiting, waiting for an opportunity."
"Disaster is imminent, and they're still thinking about such things?" Li Xiang's expression was a little gloomy. He knew better than anyone that Lancelot had been resurrected as a monarch-level Disaster monster, and Bai Lili's resurrection could happen at any time. In addition, there was the Disaster camp outside who was eyeing covetously.
The human camp could be said to be surviving in the cracks, yet they still had the time to think about such things?
"Those high and mighty beings do not think so. The fall of the Polar night mage gave them an opportunity and also gave them some buffer time. The only one who can change the situation now is the Night King. As long as she is firmly bound to the Great Wall of Disaster, no one can start a war. Therefore, the Great Wall of Disaster will only become more and more difficult in the coming days. "
The giant man bowed respectfully and then smiled at him.
"Greetings, young master, I am Qin Hu, the most trusted subordinate of the holder of the Sun Token."
"You're also from the Qin family? Brother Qin Youheng did not hesitate to send his most trusted subordinate to the Great Wall of Disaster to contact me? "Li Xiang recognized the giant man's identity during the battle.
He had to be one of them.
In particular, the fiercer he appeared, the more certain Li Xiang was that this was an illusion. He was putting on an act for others to see.
No player would be foolish enough to provoke the Night Watchers.
Perhaps Rita had seen through this long ago but did not expose it. Everyone was just acting in front of an invisible system.
No matter what the truth was, Qin Hu's first task was to see Li Xiang and pass on Qin Youheng's message.
"How can I be considered a member of the Qin family? I'm just a servant under Lord Youheng's command. " Qin Hu's attitude was humble, completely devoid of his previous arrogance. How could someone who could become the most trusted subordinate of a super family be a boor?
However, Li Xiang did not expect a Level 1 player to be willing to be someone else's servant.
Even if Qin Youheng was a Level 3 player, this was still an exaggeration.
"You didn't come looking for me to discuss the situation of the seven continents with me, did you?" Li Xiang smiled. Qin Youheng must have paid a great price to have a trusted subordinate accurately find him and secretly manipulate the choice of stronghold.
He had to hide this from too many people. If he was not careful, Qin Hu's life would be nothing, but his identity as the holder of the Great Akana Tarot Card would be exposed.
The Qin family was now the Bai family's right-hand man, and they were on the rise. Although the White King had not done anything about the tarot cards, there was a high ranking member of his important subordinates who was a high ranking member of the tarot card industry. If that was the case, the Qin family would definitely be finished.
What was it that was worth taking such a huge risk?
"Here is a secret letter from Lord Youheng. I carry it with me, and I've confirmed that no one has read it. Please take a look, Young Master." Qin Hu handed over a secret letter with both hands.
It was a secret letter, and not a message from the communication device. Just this point alone was enough to make one think.
"To the Young Master …"
The Qin family still retained much of the culture from the Blue Planet era. Li Xiang found a sense of familiarity in the language and words.
Qin Youheng's letter was very long, and the things it described were messy. It did not seem to be organized, but Li Xiang's sharp senses detected many anomalies within.
First, he suspected that something had happened to the Goddess of Calamity.
This was the conclusion that Li Xiang had come to long ago, and it was practically confirmed. Various signs indicated that some unknown changes had occurred to the Heavenly System that had once helped humans through their most difficult times.
Her attitude had become ambiguous, and some of her recent actions were also suspicious.
However, only the Level 9 players who were heading to the new world would be able to find out where the problem lay. He had secretly asked the priestess to observe this matter in secret.
Second, he suspected that the Fool Lancelot was not dead.
This was also the information that Li Xiang had just received from Bai Yuhan. However, Qin Youheng had found out about this during a mutant cleanup at the border.
When a hybrid of machinery and mutants appeared, his sensitivity toward machinery made him immediately think of Lancelot.
There were only two people in the seven continents who could create such an experimental body: Lancelot and Duke Helo.
Third, he was sure that the Evil Leader Sect would make a big move soon.
There was no other reason. The priestess had planted a spy in the Evil Leader Sect, Chen Fei, and he were in one-way contact with her.
After the priestess was summoned and left, Qin Youheng became Chen Fei's only contact.
They were classmates at the National Military University of China and had a close relationship. They had also known each other for a long time. Qin Youheng never took the initiative to contact Chen Fei. She would report to him and the priestess at the same time whenever there was a situation.
According to Chen Fei's information, ever since the Evil Leader's doppelganger had appeared and comforted everyone, he seemed to have seen through her disguise. Therefore, Chen Fei was even more careful in her actions and did not report back much information.
However, it was different this time. She had directly said that the Evil Leader Sect would make a big move, but now the person who was directly in contact with the Evil Leader was Osiris. Ever since Fei Zilan's death, she seemed to have fallen from the position of the Evil Leader's most beloved confidant.
The only thing she could be sure of was that the source of this turmoil was most likely Fei Yujing, who had been given new powers by the Evil Leader.
At the mention of Fei Yujing, Li Xiang could not help but smile bitterly.
He had personally seen her walk towards madness, towards a path of no retreat, but he was powerless.
At that time, if he had not rejected the Keihoku University spot that she had painstakingly obtained and had stayed by her side, would he have been able to successfully persuade her at the last moment?
If that was the case, there would not be the current Li Xiang, and he would not have met Ming Xu. At that time, would he really have the ability to stand side by side with Fei Yujing?
Li Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. How could there be so many ifs?
Chen Fei also brought back other news this time. The first was that the Evil Leader was very concerned about Zhi Tong. The second was that she had once given Fei Yujing power and threatened that no one could stop her resurrection. She was only giving Fei Yujing a new chance.
A chance to compete with Ming Xu again.
During the battle with the Sky King, Fei Yujing had not succeeded in devouring the Sky King's remains. However, she had still managed to successfully hide in one of the Abyss Gates. It was just that it was unknown which monarch rank disaster she had contacted and where she was now.
If she returned to the Seven Continents this time, would it be in the form of a disaster? If the disaster wanted to invade the Seven Continents, it would definitely pass through the Great Wall of Disaster. This was also what Qin Youheng was worried about. He had impatiently asked Qin Hu to inform Li Xiang because he was afraid that if that time really came, Li Xiang would not know the cause and effect.
This information was very useful, especially the one related to Zhi Tong.
She was Owl's daughter and also his companion in the orphanage. After leaving the orphanage that time, it was said that she set the place on fire. After a big fire, the orphanage was gone, and the companions in it were scattered.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, his memories started from the orphanage. However, when he thought about it carefully, there was something very strange.
Previously, he had not been willing to think about it because it was a bad memory. Li Xiang had subconsciously chosen to forget it, so he had not discovered any clues. At this moment, Qin Youheng mentioned Zhi Tong again, and also mentioned that the Evil Leader had been very concerned about this girl.
Only then did he recall these things.
As a result, the question that he had ignored all this time finally appeared.
"Just where is that orphanage?" Li Xiang felt a chill run down his spine. He then picked up his communication device and wanted to desperately send a message to Zhi Tong.
However, after thinking about it, he put down his hand.
He pulled back his thoughts and began to think and analyze.
Whether it was him or Ye Tong, neither of them had any memories of the orphanage. When they had woken up, they had been in that dark world with everyone else, living there as orphans.
Due to the long period of unpleasant treatment, the children had not been living well and had all wanted to leave. Later, he had taken Ye Tong with him to escape and set the orphanage on fire.
In his previous life, after leaving, he had never heard of the whereabouts of his companions. Only Yu Zhitong, who had successfully subverted the family that had adopted her, had found him, who was working at the Tarot Card Company. The two of them had rolled around in bed for a day and a night. After that, they had not contacted each other.
In this life, Yu Zhitong had said that not long after they had left, she had set the orphanage on fire. However, she had never mentioned how she had left or the whereabouts of the others.
Thinking back, many of the things that had made them very uncomfortable in the orphanage were very strange.
For example, the frequent health checkups, the food that was hard to swallow, and the caretakers who did not look like caretakers.
It was just that he was young, and his memories had subconsciously refused to recall them, so he had never thought about it deeply.
Yu Zhitong had said that she still had a picture of them. Previously, when she had talked with Dale, she had mentioned that she had investigated the orphanage. The ruins had long been eroded, and the other children were very ordinary.
"But the question is, why did we come to Hou City after leaving the orphanage? Where did the memories in between go! "Li Xiang was drenched in cold sweat. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became." Where exactly is that orphanage? Is it Hou City? Then why do I remember leaving the orphanage with Ye Tong after I turned eighteen … "
The memories were not right.
At this moment, he finally realized a major problem.
He had two memories. The first memory told him that he had left the orphanage with his sister and burned everything in the past.
The second memory told him that he had left the orphanage when he turned eighteen. (This paragraph has been mentioned earlier)
Li Xiang organized his thoughts again.
He was certain that he had two memories. Moreover, because he did not like this part of the past, he had subconsciously ignored it and did not care about it.
He thought about it again and organized his thoughts. In his previous life, he had lived in the orphanage and studied with the help of the orphanage. He had been classmates with Fei Yujing in elementary school and childhood sweethearts. When he turned eighteen, he had left the orphanage. During that time, he had been studying in Hou City High School!
Later, he had failed his college entrance examination. When he was eighteen, he had also left the orphanage with his sister. He had given up on repeating his studies and wandered around. Due to fate, he had joined a tarot card organization.
In this life, he had left the orphanage with Ye Tong very early on and had come to live in Hou City!
Before he left, he had even set a fire to the orphanage.
"Qin Hu, there are some things that I need your help with."
"Please speak, Young Master."
"Please inform Li Ye Tong and Yu Zhitong to investigate these two things. First, my personal files. Second, everything about the orphanage that we had lived in. "
He took a deep breath, as if he had finally found the key that had been lost for a long time.
