Chapter 102 Ward Check
The new recruit instructors received orders to immediately organize a combat unit familiar with the terrain to go down and maintain order.
"Maintaining order? Is there a riot down there? Are they scared by the flames just now?"
"Perhaps, don't ask too many questions. Yue Kaishan, you stay here, everyone else get up."
Of all the new recruits, Xueyan's team was undoubtedly the most experienced in combat; they had fought a tough battle that even regular soldiers might not have been able to win.
"No, I haven't had time to replenish the talismans yet!" Xuan Jing cried with a mournful face. His face, hidden behind the iron mask, could only make limited expressions, making him look like he hadn't woken up yet.
"Hurry up, don't let Instructor Xueyan hear us," Zhong Ming whispered, then hoisted Chen Dahai's wheelchair and left.
Yue Kaishan followed silently behind. The once most warlike warrior was now silent, utterly silent.
Next door, Zhong Ming was surprised to find that an old nemesis was also involved in the operation.
Nanyangzi.
Anyway, the guy with the scary name and seemingly a bit dim-witted actually participated in the operation. It seems his true fighting strength shouldn't be underestimated.
Instead of going down into the "well," the group searched downwards along Jisui Mountain.
"Search carefully and make sure there is no one outside." Xueyan repeated the order, tossing out a snow-white feather. As it was tossed into the air, it suddenly magnified hundreds of times, becoming a large feather that could carry a person.
"Hiss~~ Instructor Xueyan, you can fly."
Matt looked at Xueyan in surprise. This was truly unexpected. In all the previous near-death experiences, she hadn't revealed this skill.
"For those in the Qi Refining stage, flying consumes too much spiritual energy; it can only be used as a last resort for escaping," Zhong Ming said earnestly.
"You're the lowest-ranking loser, and you're still putting on airs." Nanyangzi heard the familiar voice, glanced at Zhong Ming, and almost covered his mouth to laugh.
Zhong Ming completely ignored him, so he couldn't help but be sarcastic again: "Have you ever flown?"
"I am different from you; I learn through practice."
Nanyangzi was furious when he saw the other party's attitude. "Your cultivation level is obviously terrible, yet you dare to spout such nonsense."
"Then you try flying it."
Zhong Ming suddenly turned his head and stared intently at him. The mother and child swords appeared in his hand, and he pressed one hand on the hilt, assuming a fighting stance.
Do you have the right to let me escape?
Seeing this, Nanyangzi muttered to himself, "Are they out of their minds? If they start fighting now, won't the instructors execute them on the spot to demonstrate the strictness of military law? Is this just a bluff?"
He stretched out his left hand and waved it impatiently up and down, as if shooing away a passing beggar. "Go away, don't bother me. A guy who can faint for half a day just from hearing a dragon's roar has the right to fight me?"
The two walked further and further away. After all, it was a search mission, and everyone had to search the mountain. Zhong Ming replied softly, "I love killing dragons in my dreams."
Nanyangzi did not respond; it's unclear whether he heard it.
.....
After half a stick of incense.
"Reporting to the instructor, the search of Jishui Mountain has been completed, and no personnel were found."
"Alright, first squad, guard the entrance, don't let a single fly get out. Third squad, come with me into the mine."
Nowadays, mines are no longer just mines, but also refuges. There are huge pits used as warehouses to store food, rows of small mine tunnels used as rooms, and underground rivers that can barely serve as water sources. People drink water upstream and bathe downstream. Urinating and defecating indiscriminately are prohibited. If you can't hold it in, you dig a hole, and then cover it up.
Which area are you most familiar with?
“I am quite familiar with the mineral layers in the early stage of Qi refining. I have mined there with Brother Yue Kaishan.”
“I’ve been to the middle-level mining area,” Xuan Jing said.
"Okay, Chen Dahai and Xuan Jing go to the second floor, you two go to the third floor, I'll stay in the middle to provide support," Xueyan gave the order.
"Instructor, what is our objective?"
"First, find people acting suspiciously; arrest those who shouldn't be there."
At this point, the mineral deposits in the Qi Refining stage have been opened to refugees. How are we supposed to find them? How do we determine if they are refugees?
After the other three left, only Zhong Ming and Yue Kaishan, the two old brothers, remained, standing at Wang "landlord's" door once again.
What should we do?
Seeing that no one was around, Yue Kaishan finally spoke up.
"Brother Cuihong, I... might not be as good at fighting anymore."
"What kind of talk is that? It's just a missing arm. There are countless magical techniques at play. I've looked through the inventory in our armory. We can save you from a heart attack, let alone grow a new arm."
"I know, but, but I..." Yue Kaishan hesitated for a long time, staring intently into Zhong Ming's eyes, and said sadly, "I can't cultivate anymore."
Yes, the Yue family's cultivation method is entirely based on fist techniques. If one cannot practice fist techniques, one cannot smoothly complete the circulation of spiritual energy contained within the fist techniques, and thus cannot continue cultivation.
"My family's boxing style is domineering. Only three people in history have been able to give up halfway and switch to other martial arts."
"Then why don't you ask your cousin? Maybe he has enough military merit points to exchange for medicine to treat you?"
These words made Yue Kaishan appear even more dejected.
"No, our family wouldn't do that. Our family would definitely put all the resources into my cousin. He's the closest of the younger generation to the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if we spent all my resources to get him another Foundation Establishment Pill, my great-grandfather and the others wouldn't hesitate at all."
In a sense, Zhong Ming still had a relatively good relationship with the Yue family. It was during the competition with Zhong Ming that Yue Xingtian stepped into the peak of Qi Refining, just short of the age limit.
"Brother, don't overthink it. This is no big deal. There are countless immortal techniques. Let's go to the armory and look again. The Chen family dynasty is so big, there must be a way. What we need to do is accumulate military merit points and carry out the mission first."
Yue Kaishan nodded. His words completely disrupted Zhong Ming's pre-planned actions, turning them into a jumbled mess.
Alright, there's always a way out. Open the door.
As soon as the stone door was opened, a lively atmosphere and the smell of sweat hit you.
Several people looked this way and shouted, "There's a new couple! Two strong young men! All the unmarried girls, come and see!"
"No noise is allowed during military patrols."
One sentence immediately stunned everyone.
"Go back and stay here. Take out all the temporary documents issued by the government. Don't leave out a single one."
Zhong Ming acted very fiercely, and Yue Kaishan even punched the stone wall, creating a hole.
The phrase "a great commotion" vanished instantly, and everyone immediately ran back to their own little caves.
Good heavens! The immortal himself has come to "check on the patients."
Yue Kaishan kept watch at the main intersection, while Zhong Ming checked each room one by one.
