32: Stewed Turtle Soup

"Is that so? Great!" Xie Yanwen said with a calm expression.

On the beach of Nankang Golden Valley, the green radiation layer had just dissipated. Two people arrived late, riding a bear and a horse. The entire beach was quiet; not a soul was in sight.

"The turtle was left right here just now. How did it disappear?" Lin Xixue was full of questions. "Even if it died, there should be some traces. No one could move the corpse of such a large turtle!"

"Maybe they caught the turtle to stew turtle soup. It couldn't have just vanished into thin air, right?" Xie Yanwen asked, knowing the answer full well.

"That's true. There aren't many people here who can threaten you Six Great Vajras. Those five are too much, hmph!" Lin Xixue said with a proud and pampered look.

"They aren't here. Let's go back for today and talk about it another time!" Xie Yanwen yawned and began to mount his horse to head back.

"Fine, this is all we can do today. What a pity for my turtle!" Lin Xixue sat on the head of the Giant Sun Bear and slowly headed home.

At noon the next day, Lin Xixue had just woken up when she heard a knock on the door.

"Miss, get up quickly! The Master is losing his temper in the Main Hall and wants you to go over!" Linlin shouted hurriedly.

"I know. What's he angry about now? Honestly!" Lin Xixue had a look of feigned anger, which was quite cute.

Lin Xixue brought Linlin and rushed to the Main Hall, just in time to hear Lin Zhian losing his temper.

"How could they disappear? They've always been loyal to me. This has never happened before. Go! Find them! Even if you have to flip the Lingshu Kingdom upside down, find them! I want to know why!"

"Father, I'm here!" Lin Xixue moved gracefully to the center of the Main Hall. Lu Yifa and Xie Yanwen were standing nearby.

"Tell me, what did you and the five of them say and do yesterday?" Lin Zhian asked anxiously when he saw his daughter arrive.

"Yesterday, we were discussing going to settle the score with Wei He together. But I didn't see them even by midnight. They even killed my turtle, and I didn't even see the corpse!" Lin Xixue pouted her cherry-like lips with a wronged expression.

"Could it be that Wei He killed them, or did they simply defect?" Lin Zhian said in disbelief.

"Impossible. How could he kill the five of them? There wasn't a single sound, and those were five Manipulation Level Ability Users!" Lu Yifa said categorically.

"Then they must have defected and left without reason. If they are alive, I want to see them; if they are dead, I want to see their corpses!" Lin Zhian was so angry his eyes were wide and his face was flushed.

"You won't see them alive, and you won't see their corpses, hmph!" Wei He saw everything clearly on the large screen at the base. Wherever the Red Alert Troops were, he could see.

"Wait, isn't this Linlin? Why did she go to Nankang Golden Valley?" From the screen, Wei He saw that the maid following Lin Xixue was exactly Linlin from Riquan City.

"I have to get her out of this place of trouble!" Wei He said to the System.

"Understood. Commencing arrangements now!" The mechanical voice of the System sounded.

That night, Xie Yanwen knocked Linlin unconscious, put her in a sack, brought her to the Nankang Golden Valley beach, and placed her on an armored personnel carrier.

When the sack was opened again, what appeared in Linlin's eyes was Wei He's face.

"Wei He, you're not dead! I thought you died a long time ago!" Linlin said with a look of surprise and joy.

"Why do you say that?"

"That Carlos is a High-level Magician! I saw him when I was in Laiseluo City! How could you escape from his hands?"

"We'll talk about that later. Why did you go to Nankang Golden Valley?"

"I left Riquan City and traveled north to enjoy the scenery. When I reached Nankang Golden Valley, they insisted that anyone who came here belonged to him. They took me into the Lin Manor and threw Rune and the others into the Gold Mine Factory to dig for ore!" Linlin began to cry as she spoke.

"Alright, don't cry. In another two days, I'll rescue them too!" Wei He said confidently.

"Really? That's great!" Linlin's cherry-like mouth pecked Wei He's face, causing his face to flush red instantly.

"Go rest for a bit. I'll let you know when there's news!" Wei He swallowed and quickly left.

After three months, Wei He finally had another million Red Alert Economic Points. He began preparing to construct Allied Forces buildings. However, the Danga Archipelago was too small, so he finally decided to build the base in the Harsh Forest.

If Carlos came again, he would use a nuclear missile to eliminate him directly. This time, he wouldn't be inside, so he wouldn't have to worry about being restrained by concerns.

Four armored personnel carriers carrying dozens of Bozi Youning arrived at the Harsh Forest, near the Nuclear Power Plant.

Since Wei He was forced to teleport away last time, only one Nuclear Power Plant remained here. To study this building, Carlos had specifically sent people to guard it.

After the Bozi Youning got off the boat, without a word, they quickly began charging towards the Nuclear Power Plant. Guarding this place were 500 ordinary soldiers; Carlos never imagined that Wei He could return.

"Rat-tat-tat~ Rat-tat-tat~ Rat-tat-tat~!" The ppsh-41 submachine guns mercilessly spat tongues of fire, frantically harvesting lives.

"Ah, what the hell? Where did they come from? Isn't Sentry Bridge guarded? Why was there no report? Has it already fallen?" The one in charge of the guard was Centurion Dock. He could never have imagined that the Red Alert Troops hadn't used the bridge at all.

"Don't panic! They only have a small unit. Charge! Kill them!" Dock recovered from his initial panic and organized his men to counterattack.

Of the 500 soldiers, only 300-plus were left. Over a hundred had been eliminated at the very start. This was the terror of modern firearms.

Under Dock's command, the 300-plus people regrouped, forming an encirclement around the dozens of Bozi Youning.

Unfortunately, they were only holding long spears—cold weapons. Even surrounding the enemy was just sending themselves to their deaths.

The Bozi Youning stopped their charge and formed a circle on the spot, beginning to fire indiscriminately in all directions.

Over 300 Magic Empire soldiers in blue armor charged fearlessly at the Bozi Youning, attempting to break through the enemy formation with their numerical advantage.

Unfortunately, cold weapons before firearms were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. People kept charging, and people kept falling. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder.

Screams, the rattling of ppsh-41 submachine guns, and the sound of shell casings hitting the ground continued around them.

Finally, the noise stopped. Centered on the Bozi Youning, the surroundings were covered with the corpses of Magic Empire soldiers. Some lay on the ground, gasping their last breaths; the Bozi Youning stepped forward to deliver finishing shots, ending their misery.

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have been stationed here. I thought it was a cushy post with nothing to do, but now it's costing me my life!" Dock said as he wiped the sweat flowing from his forehead to his nose.

"Boss, what do we do now?" The remaining ten or so Magic Empire soldiers looked at Dock in confusion.

"If all else fails, let's surrender. Where there's life, there's hope. As long as we're alive, my second uncle will definitely save me; he's a Magician!" Thinking of his uncle, Dock finally pulled himself out of his fear.

More than ten people walked out from behind the Nuclear Power Plant, hands raised above their heads.

"We surrender! Don't kill..." Dock was confident he could survive, unaware that Wei He no longer had his previous patience.

Just as they walked out, Wei He ordered them to open fire directly. Before they could finish their sentence, they were riddled like sieves by the ppsh-41 submachine guns.

The Bozi Youning began searching for survivors to finish them off, then advanced toward Sentry Mountain according to Wei He's orders.
