Chapter 1767: The Commander Has Arrived
All Night Watch: Σ(°Д°;？！
Seeing the crazy Xia Simeng on stage, every Night Watch member below the stage froze in place.
This special squad... seemed to be quite different from what they had imagined.
Although the opening was a shock, it didn't hinder the development of the subsequent plot. The zombie who kept shouting "I love work, w-work loves me" was quickly knocked down by the [Phoenix] squad descending from the sky.
After an epic and heroic story, [Phoenix] squad finally defeated the "Seven Devils" and lived the life they desired.
Thunderous applause rang out from the audience.
"This Great Xia program feels kind of strange." Turok couldn't help but complain.
"That's not important." Kira's eyes were fixed on Xia Simeng. "These people's strength is considerable. They should be the top forces of the Night Watch... we need to focus on them later."
As [Phoenix] squad's performance ended, the host walked onto the stage with a smile:
"Next, please enjoy the recitation 'Me and My Shangjing' brought to you by Squad 006 stationed in Shangjing City!"
Upon hearing it was a recitation program, everyone in the audience lost interest immediately. More than half of them dispersed in no time. Turok checked the time and said in a low voice:
"It's about time to send the message."
Kira frowned, cautiously scanning the surroundings: "Not yet. The Human Apex and human gods haven't all arrived... Wait until they've all confirmed their presence before sending it."
"Right..."
"This recitation is terrible. Let's go somewhere else."
"There's an observation tower on that wall over there. We should be able to see the entire Sunken Dragon Pass from there. Let's go watch from there."
"Sure."
...
On the other side.
"Sha-sha-ge, we've been wandering around inside for so long. Why can't we find Commander Lin?"
Zhen Xiaoyi rubbed her eyes. The sea of dark red cloaks in the city had nearly dazzled her, yet she still couldn't spot a single crimson one among them.
"Is it possible... Commander Lin hasn't arrived yet?" Jia Shasha pondered.
"That's probably it. Important figures always arrive last."
Zhen Xiaoyi clutched the backpack in her arms and let out a long sigh, a tinge of disappointment in her voice.
"There's an observation tower over there. Let's go take a look." Jia Shasha looked up toward the top of the city wall. "If Commander Lin arrives, we'll be the first to know."
"Okay."
The two of them, carrying their backpacks, circled round and round the stairs inside the city wall before finally climbing to the top of the highest observation tower in Sunken Dragon Pass.
From here, looking out into the distance, they could clearly see the majestic mist wall standing firm and resolute, dividing the sea from the sky. Before it, these two young people felt for the first time how insignificant they were, like ants.
"So magnificent..." Zhen Xiaoyi stared at the churning mist wall before her, murmuring to herself.
"So this is the miracle wall the instructors told us about?" Jia Shasha stood on the edge of the observation deck, gazing at the border, his mind thoroughly shaken. "When will we be qualified to stand here and guard Great Xia's border..."
"First, you need to be able to see the 'Mystery' without being scared away."
"...I know! I won't be like that anymore!"
Just as the two were talking, a helicopter rapidly cut through the clouds, arrived above Sunken Dragon Pass's helipad, and descended slowly.
A figure draped in a deep red cloak, with a Straight Blade at their waist, stepped off the plane slowly, immediately drawing the attention of a large group of Night Watch members.
"He's here! Commander Lin is here!" Jia Shasha immediately spoke.
"Let's go!"
Zhen Xiaoyi clutched her backpack tightly, and the two quickly made their way down the observation tower.
...
"The view from this observation tower is indeed not bad."
Turok leaned against the edge of the observation tower, gazing into the distance. "You can't see a scene like this inside the mist."
"That's why so many divine kingdoms wanted to destroy Great Xia back then, isn't it?" Kira said leisurely.
"Hm? It seems like they've arrived."
The two turned to look. A helicopter was whining as it descended from the sky. A figure wrapped in a Crimson Cloak stepped out, followed by several high-ranking Night Watch officers.
Kira's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully examined the figure in the Crimson Cloak walking at the front.
"No mistake. It's Lin Qiye."
Several more helicopters followed, landing one after another on the helipad. Various figures stepped out, heading straight for the celebration venue.
"Angel of SilenceShen Qingzhu, God of the Mind Wu Tongxuan, Human Apex Lu Wuwei, Master Chen, Guan Zai, Yuzuri Takishiro, Shao Pingge, Chen Han, Wu Quan... Apart from Sword Immortal Zhou Ping, who is currently in seclusion breaking through to the Supreme God realm, and another Human Apex, all of Great Xia's top combat power has arrived!"
"Which apex is missing?"
"Not entirely sure... I've always heard that besides Commander Lin, Great Xia has eight other Human Apexes. The last one seems to have always been very mysterious." Kira contemplated for a moment and shook his head. "Not important. One Human Apex can't make waves. Let's send the message now."
"Yeah."
Turok drew a finger across the emptiness. A hidden gray light pierced through the void, shooting straight toward the outside of the mist.
After finishing this, both Kira and Turok relaxed. They gazed at the many Night Watch members gathering below, and mockery appeared in their eyes:
"God-Hunting Celebration... Hmph, these Great Xia people will sooner or later pay the price for their arrogance."
...
Celebration Venue.
A deep red figure stepped onto the red carpet. Firecrackers crackled on both sides, and among the flying streamers, Commander Lin's expression was cold and calm.
"Commander Lin, this way please." A staff member from Sunken Dragon Pass led the group, heading directly toward the celebration area.
He nodded slightly without speaking.
Between those deep, profound eyes, an indescribably powerful aura swept through the surroundings at all times.
As that deep red cloak drifted past, Jia Shasha and Zhen Xiaoyi beside the path already had palms slick with sweat.
"Sha-sha-ge... Commander Lin's presence is terrifying." Zhen Xiaoyi lowered her head, not even daring to look up at him, and whispered.
Jia Shasha swallowed hard. His situation wasn't much better than Zhen Xiaoyi's. His hand gripping the backpack had turned white from the force, but he gritted his teeth and spoke resolutely:
"We came all this way, wasn't it for this moment?! We can't disappoint Sister Hongying and the others. Let's go!"
He grabbed Zhen Xiaoyi's hand, took a deep breath, and strode out of the crowd, walking directly toward Commander Lin.
"Hello, is there something wrong?"
Before they could reach Commander Lin, a staff member stopped them just outside the red carpet, asking seriously.
"I... I'm looking for Commander Lin!"
"If you're looking for Commander Lin, you can make an appointment through headquarters. Right now is the entry phase of the celebration. You cannot—"
Jia Shasha watched the deep red figure getting further away. He clenched his teeth and shouted loudly:
"COMMANDER LIN!!!"
The deep red figure slowly stopped.
