129: Strategic materials

Soon, the sports car flew above the Happy Residential Area, hovering outside the window.

Xiao Xing opened the roof, jumped onto the car top, and looked into the flames.

At this moment, the apartment they lived in was a complete mess; the intense explosion had completely shattered the walls and ceiling.

Flames were everywhere inside the room, and smoke, like that after a war, continuously billowed upwards.

After observing for a moment, Xiao Xing's expression shifted abruptly.

He found that most objects had been completely destroyed, but the five Divine-Grade game pods had no external damage, apart from being a bit dirty.

He had only held onto a sliver of hope, but now it seemed there truly was a chance.

Xiao Xing did not hesitate; he released his Divine Soul Power and began probing the game pods.

The game pods were undamaged. If they had hidden inside during the explosion, there was a chance they survived.

“They really didn't die.”

As soon as he released his Divine Soul, Xiao Xing was overcome with joy.

He detected Mu Yaner and the others, who were trapped underneath an overturned game pod.

The Divine-Grade game pods were extremely luxurious, with an interior width of 1.5 meters. Although the three girls were a bit cramped inside, they were able to avoid the explosion's shockwave.

Not pausing to celebrate, Xiao Xing leaped and jumped directly into the flames, quickly rushing toward them.

Arriving beside the game pod, Xiao Xing exerted a little force and flipped it over, revealing the three girls.

“Xiao... hurry and save Sister Ling Su, she's been shot.”

Yan Xiaoling looked up and saw Xiao Xing. Without stopping to greet him, she and Mu Yaner helped Cheng Lingsu up.

Xiao Xing didn't dare to be careless. He reached out, took Ling Su into his arms, and began examining her condition.

Soon, he understood Ling Su's injuries.

She had been hit by five bullets across her body, but none of the injuries were fatal; she had only lost a lot of blood.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaoling had tightly wrapped the wounds with cloth, so the blood was only seeping out.

Injuries of this severity posed absolutely no life danger given current medical standards, let alone when Xiao Xing also possessed Spiritual Qi.

Xiao Xing didn't hesitate. He used Divine Soul Power to extract the bullets while simultaneously using Spiritual Qi to nourish her wounds.

His Spiritual Qi didn't possess major healing effects, but with its nourishment, the injuries would recover relatively quickly.

Moreover, he only intended to make the wounds heal enough to stop the bleeding.

For Ling Su to fully recover, even if Xiao Xing used Spiritual Qi to nourish her body every day, it would still take ten days to half a month.

“Are you two alright?”

After treating Ling Su's wounds, Xiao Xing looked at Mu Yaner and Yan Xiaoling.

He had already examined their bodies and found no injuries, but he couldn't help but ask anyway.

Yan Xiaoling was covered in dirt and dust, and the rubble contained a large amount of severed limbs, making Xiao Xing realize she had gone through a fierce battle.

What surprised him was that Yan Xiaoling's Physique strength had already reached the level of an ordinary expert.

She must have purchased Xiao Xing's Attribute Treasure; otherwise, such rapid improvement would be impossible.

But it didn't matter; Xiao Xing's money was also her money, so buying it was fine.

After moving into the villa, he planned to teach the girls how to absorb Spiritual Qi and acquire more Attribute Treasures for them in the game.

Once their strength increased, Xiao Xing wouldn't have to worry too much even if he traveled far away.

“We are fine.”

Yan Xiaoling's face flushed red. After answering, she turned her head away, avoiding Xiao Xing's gaze.

When Xiao Xing used his Divine Soul to examine her body, the feeling of being completely exposed made her intensely shy.

She remembered the first time Xiao Xing had looked at her like that; it made her angry and embarrassed, but she couldn't beat him.

Now that she was exposed again, she wasn't angry anymore, but she was still very shy; after all, she was still a girl.

“Xiao Xing, hurry and take Ling Su to get proper treatment so she can recover quickly.”

Mu Yaner merely bit her lips after being exposed, showing no major reaction.

Seeing Ling Su lose so much blood, she felt distressed and hoped Xiao Xing could heal Ling Su quickly.

“Alright, Sister Yaner.”

As Xiao Xing finished speaking, the sports car rushed through the sea of fire and appeared before them.

Once the girls were in the car, Xiao Xing collected the five game pods. After confirming there was nothing else to deal with, he drove the sports car toward the villa.

On a rooftop not far away, Mu Gang watched Xiao Xing drive away.

He turned his head to look at the arriving police cars, slowly loosened his clenched fist, and then his figure melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Mu Gang really wanted to strike directly, but Xiao Xing and Yan Xiaoling both possessed some strength.

If he faced both of them at the same time, it would be difficult to achieve a quick kill.

Moreover, the police had arrived, so there was no need to risk taking action now... Back at the villa, Xiao Xing settled Ling Su and the others, then called Shangguan Hong via video chat.

The main purpose was to tell him about the second matter Xiao Xing had mentioned today, and also to ask him to notify the police not to contact them regarding the investigation into the apartment explosion.

For this second matter, Xiao Xing needed the country's help in purchasing some items.

The War Fortress he established needed to be filled with a lot of war preparation materials.

For example, various advanced firearms and ammunition from the USA, B2 Spirit Bombers, B9 Stealth Bombers, Strategic Ballistic Missiles, Drone Swarm Munitions, and more.

In addition to various high-end strategic weapons, he also asked Elder Hong to help purchase various imported medical drugs and compressed rations.

While money was still valuable, Xiao Xing intended to purchase a large amount of reserve materials.

He requested only the highest-end imported goods. The cost didn't matter; he wanted them to buy as much as possible of anything that could be acquired.

Of course, purchasing a large number of strategic weapons required even more money than the War Fortress itself.

He currently only had over a trillion (1000 billion) in his account, so he could only transfer one trillion to Elder Hong for now and would continue sending money once he earned more in the game.

Elder Hong was somewhat confused, but Xiao Xing merely told him that if the country had the funds, they should try to buy strategic weapons from various countries as much as possible, just in case.

Xiao Xing didn't say much more; whether they listened or not was up to them.

After everything was settled, he returned to the room where Ling Su was resting.

At this time, the girls were still gathered around Ling Su's bed, chatting about various things. Xiao Xing had already introduced them to each other when they returned.

The girls' emotions had stabilized significantly, except for Su Xueer, who remained depressed and extremely low-spirited.

She believed Big Brother Jian Chen had died, so since returning, she had been sitting sadly by herself and hadn't said more than a few words.

Seeing Xiao Xing enter, the girls greeted him one after another.

Xiao Xing waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite.

Immediately, he sat down by Ling Su's bed, grasped her hand, and examined her.

Cheng Lingsu was conscious. When she realized Xiao Xing was examining her again, her face turned extremely red, but since her body was very weak, she could only struggle symbolically.

“Don't move around.”

Seeing that Ling Su intended to struggle, Xiao Xing helped her sit up and let her lean against his chest.

“You big bad guy!”

Seeing that she couldn't struggle free, Cheng Lingsu could only let out a soft complaint and bury her head deeply, trying to hide her extremely shy feelings.

Due to her Physique, she would become very shy whenever a boy touched her body; being held tightly by a man now made her feel like she was suffocating.

Seeing her state, Xiao Xing quickly channeled Spiritual Qi to warm and nourish her body.

Soothed by the Spiritual Qi, Cheng Lingsu's complexion quickly returned to normal, and all aspects within her body stabilized.

But Xiao Xing did not stop the Spiritual Qi; his purpose in coming was to warm and nourish Ling Su's injuries.

Once she was mostly recovered, he would teach her the Spirit God Art, and she would be able to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to heal herself.
