Chapter 61

"How is this engine we built ourselves performing?" Zhao Zhiyi and Zhao Lang asked after walking a little further away from the test bench.

"It's getting late, let's head back to the Taoist temple!" Daoist Yueying's face remained as gloomy as dark clouds, and Daoist Yueqiu, not daring to disturb her, followed her down the mountain.

It was just like an object placed inside a bag, suddenly sprouting countless sharp spikes that pierced the bag into a net-like mesh.

The elderly man in the Tang suit grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowish-brown teeth, looking as ferocious as if he wanted to devour a person.

However, this was not entirely unacceptable to them. Could it be that their supernatural abilities would evolve, while Jiang Liushi's ability would not?

Rebuilding the police department's image could not be achieved simply by shooting a promotional video; it required time to settle and take root.

Conquer Manila and go ashore to plunder in order to compensate for the loss of fuel? It sounded quite good at first, but a glance at the preset schedule of that super tanker revealed that the time-travelers simply did not have the time to go ashore for such frivolous activities.

Gradually, bone horns began to blow in the city, and war drums on the city walls slowly started to beat. All the officers and soldiers tensed their bodies, ready to set off at any moment.

Su Guangqi and Su Tong looked at each other. On Su Tong's face, an expression of reluctance and worry emerged.

The top of the silver-gray vehicle rotated a full circle, revealing several shooting ports from which black gun barrels extended outward.

However, Patriarch Hongjun was extremely unwilling to see the rise of the Wu clan, and naturally would not inform them of this matter.

Fortunately, after entering the mountainous region, they could still scavenge a little food. Even so, the more than twenty thousand soldiers still suffered immensely.

"Understood. Auntie, please tell me first how many sets of stamps were issued this year. If there are any previous stamps, I want those too. Tomorrow, my mom and I will come together to buy them and take them home for my collection," Lele said.

From the transformation of sword energy into dozens of streaks of light rushing toward the dark-faced man, it was merely the blink of an eye. Staring at the incoming attack, the dark-faced man sneered disdainfully, as if he had long known that Li Yun would strike first. With a gentle shake of his sleeve, a pale yellow glow had already enveloped and protected him.

The guard hurriedly complied, leaving with a heart full of excitement to relay the order. Having followed the Protector for several months now, since this time the Protector was conferring official positions, he figured he should at least be granted the title of a general.

"No need, let just Big Brother Xue and a few of us go up! The rest of you stay here on standby at all times!" Li Zhen took the lead and walked toward the flower boat. When he passed by Li Yunfei, he paused for a moment, and then continued upward.

Without needing Rouge Blue's command, Liu Yunfei did not dare to linger in front of Morgana anymore. If she suddenly cast another soul-binding skill or something similar on him, he would surely die. He hurriedly flashed multiple afterimages to retreat to the side, letting the willful loli step in to take his place.

When Crimson Rose said that the item she had her eyes on wouldn't let him slip away, she looked at Liu Yunfei with a meaningful gaze. Liu Yunfei hurriedly pretended not to notice.

Although on the surface she was here to have fun, in essence, she just wanted to find an unfamiliar place to while away a few days in a dreamlike, living-dead stupor.

Liu Yunfei finally understood why Tang Xin's healing was so intermittent, causing the willful loli's health bar to fluctuate wildly up and down—making him worry for the willful loli who was acting as the team's main tank.

Hua Qingyi and Xie Nianyizhi were still running continuously. They were truly exhausted, yet they had to keep running, with the Three Treasures of auspiciousness chasing after them, not to mention the presence of Lonely Cold Wind.

By now, Lan Youming had vomited to the point of utter exhaustion, leaving him entirely at the mercy of Shirley's mischief, which coincidentally spared him the awkwardness of a virgin's first time.

"Jose" raised one corner of his lip into a grim, sinister smile, stepped forward directly to corner her, his insidious gaze fixed unceasingly on her red, speechless face of fright.

Now, this engineering squadron, aside from the majority of the squadron missing arms and legs, the remaining engineers, given their harrowing encounters along the way, thoroughly cleared out the entire preset artillery position, troop assembly areas, offensive departure zones, and heavy machine gun fire points at the demand of the supervising Japanese army battalion commander.

Seeing Jiang Yunwan nod in admission, Hua Qingyi continued: "When Feng Er died, everyone thought he died a natural death because we didn't find any signs of poisoning on his body. In fact, things were not like that; it was just that none of us recognized the signs."

However, Qing Jingyao merely shook her head. She could not make a judgment, as any step she took could indirectly lead to Chu Zhaonan's injury. The usually resolute and strategic Princess Suppressing the Country was unable to provide any answer.

"Well, have you all figured out a plan to deal with the flower thief?" Su Yaowu looked at everyone and asked.

Piercing cold wind converged on Alice, shattering her spell and freezing her from head to toe in shivers, immediately followed by a blinding flurry of snowflakes pelting down upon her from the sky, leaving her with no place to hide and nowhere to escape.

"Mistress," Yunshuang said happily, her face beaming with smiles. But when she saw Lixia standing nearby, her smile began to stiffen, replaced by fierce hostility and resentment on her face.

"Your Highness, the Director of Internal Affairs has arrived." The Director of Internal Affairs had been visiting very frequently lately, perhaps to prepare and coordinate things. He often came to find Murong Zhi whenever he was indecisive, so it was not surprising to see him now.

Originally, Li Biao's sphere of activity was not in Lianyungang; they had an agreement with the Japanese pirates to use Yancheng as the boundary. Why were they appearing in Lianyungang? It was precisely because of edible salt.

Two years ago, she was merely a helpless orphan with no father, no mother, and no one to lean on. The Military Intelligence Department took her in and gave her food. In exchange, she had to undergo rigorous training and strive to become a qualified agent.

Ye Guoxian looked at him with a rather strange gaze: "You know it's public property now? When you were eating all those things, I didn't see you remembering that. As soon as it comes to someone else's, you suddenly know it's public property."

"Very well, take your respective belongings and come with me. You don't need to bring what you can't carry for now; I'll find someone to come back and get them," Zhang Fei said, giving a direct wave of his hand to pack away several large instruments, then turned and walked downstairs.

After a long whistle, Li Hai's body soared into the sky in an instant, flying toward the northeast corner of the snowy mountain and leaving behind a white shadow alongside a head of increasingly crimson hair.
