Chapter 1111: The Shelter
Chapter 1111: The Shelter
September 30th, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City.
Lu HaiKong held a Blood Soul Stone in his hand, and his eyes turned golden.
The golden eyes were a result of Lu HaiKong's advanced Celestial Eye Technique. This phenomenon occurred when he used the technique, clearly indicating that he was studying the Blood Soul Stone in his hand.
Despite the system's description, Lu HaiKong felt that this Blood Soul Stone was not as simple as it seemed, or rather, he believed it had another use.
Undoubtedly, this was likely the foreign version of a Martial Soul Stone. Since it was a foreign variant, Lu HaiKong was researching if it could be used in the Hall of Heroes.
After observing it for a while, Lu HaiKong halted his Celestial Eye Technique.
As he stopped the technique, a smile appeared on Lu HaiKong's lips, clearly indicating that he had found an answer that satisfied him.
"The texture of this stone is similar to the Martial Soul Stone. It should be usable in the Hall of Heroes."
This was excellent news for Lu HaiKong. It meant that he could potentially cultivate exceptional subordinates using the Blood Demon Stone. Although he wouldn't know for sure until he tried, the positive result from his Celestial Eye Technique gave him confidence.
With a smile, Lu HaiKong put away the Blood Demon Stone, marking the end of his inspection of Qu Tupo's loot. After examining their items, the treasure chest opening session concluded.
Lu HaiKong chose not to use the Heaven and Earth Blessing this time, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew it wasn't the right time.
In fact, Lu HaiKong had thoroughly researched the effects of the Heaven and Earth Blessing during this period. With his keen interest, he couldn't help but study such a powerful item.
Due to his research, Lu HaiKong refrained from using it. If possible, he didn't want to use the three Heaven and Earth Blessings he had accumulated.
After organizing his recent gains and utilizing the necessary items, Lu HaiKong left the training ground to continue his busy schedule.
Lu HaiKong had numerous tasks to attend to, such as testing the Great Toxin Removal Token's effectiveness, managing military logistics, and preparing for the foreign legion. However, he also had one crucial task.
Previously, Pei Yuanying and Huang Zhong, both with Pseudo Breakthrough to Hundred strength, had engaged in a great battle, which Lu HaiKong witnessed from start to finish using his Celestial Eye Technique.
Lu HaiKong's talent was already exceptional, and with the technique active, he gained significant insights from their brief but intense battle. He believed that by digesting these insights, he could further enhance his martial prowess.
Recently, Lu HaiKong had been focusing more on military and territorial development, considering them more critical than personal martial strength.
However, after witnessing Pei Yuanying and Huang Zhong's fight, Lu HaiKong's perspective changed.
The battle between Pei Yuanying and Huang Zhong deeply impressed upon Lu HaiKong the terror of Pseudo Breakthrough to Hundred strength and why the system restricted such power.
Understanding the importance of martial power, Lu HaiKong was eager to resume his progress. With an opportunity at hand, he wouldn't let it pass by.
Once he finished his urgent tasks, Lu HaiKong would set aside his work and find time to break through his martial limitations.
Despite the temporary respite from the imminent invasion of the foreign demons, Lu HaiKong's forces could handle any attack, and the demons would not dare to launch an offensive before the research results from Zhang Yan's side were ready. This bought Lu HaiKong some time to make his breakthrough.
While Lu HaiKong was preparing for his breakthrough in Lingzhi City, he was unaware of the arduous battle taking place in Liaodong Prefecture.
Five days had passed since the fall of Li Le Yang City, and within that short period, the entire city had undergone a drastic transformation.
What was once the largest military stronghold in the three prefectures of Liaodong had now become a ruin. The defensive equipment, weapons, and various supplies were either looted by the fleeing private soldiers from Li Le Yang City or taken by the foreign demons. Only a small portion was collected by the remaining troops still occupying the city, who set up a shelter within it.
The shelter in Li Le Yang City was built in a corner, accommodating tens of thousands of survivors in a relatively small area.
Many of these survivors had come from Liaodong, seeking refuge in Li Le Yang City. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the city had already fallen. Fortunately, there was a shelter established by a few thousand soldiers, providing them with a safe haven.
It's hard to imagine that even in such dire circumstances, someone would still muster the strength to form a legion and build a shelter to protect the civilian population.
However, this isn't surprising. Humans are complex beings; they can be both despicable and noble, fearful yet fearless, selfish yet compassionate, fragile yet resilient.
Because they are human, even in the best of times, darkness can exist, and because they are human, even in the darkest moments, there can be glimmers of hope and beauty.
In this shelter, two young individuals upheld that glimmer of hope and beauty: Zhao Yun, who had arrived just five days ago, and a young man who had been assisting Gongsun Zan in managing Li Le Yang City.
In this shelter, centered around these two individuals, a haven was created. Of course, without the support of the thousands of soldiers, they wouldn't have been able to establish such a refuge, nor could they have provided a safe haven for the survivors.
However, this haven wasn't entirely secure, and it couldn't last forever. Water and food were significant challenges for the shelter, but the young man was confident in his ability to overcome these issues. Unfortunately, fate didn't grant him the time he needed.
Fate often reveals its cruelest side to some, and this time, it was Zhao Yun and the young man who faced its merciless gaze.
After five days of hard work, they had finally established a shelter, and despite the difficulties, they had a glimmer of hope for survival.
Just as the young man and Zhao Yun were about to expand the shelter to save more people, despair struck again, shattering their hopes like fragile bubbles.
Although the shelter's defenses were well-prepared on all fronts, bad luck struck. They encountered a massive horde of millions of undead marching from Liaodong.
This undead army marched right through the shelter, bringing a nightmare to life.
No one could do anything against such an overwhelming number of undead, not even Zhao Yun and the young man, despite their best efforts. The outcome remained unchanged.
Within half an hour, the shelter was no more.
Among the tens of thousands, only Zhao Yun managed to escape in the final moments, protecting the young man...
