Chapter 1931: Let Them Stand in the Sunlight

"...After the fall of Olympus, the many divine kingdoms in the mist were cleansed. Although there were still some remaining divine forces, Commander Lin uprooted them one by one... As for how Commander Lin specifically dispersed the mist, I'm not sure about the details."

After Yu Le's words fell, the members of the expedition team stood stunned in place for a long while, letting out deep breaths...

"I'm sorry... The amount of information you've shared is overwhelming. I, I need some time to digest this." The journalist rubbed his temples苦涩ly after hearing Yu Le's description.

Every word Yu Le said, he had listened to carefully. But the consequence was that he felt his worldview had completely shattered... The situation of Great Xia, the fall of the divine kingdoms, the Cthulhu Faction myth descending—these events that seemed like fairy tales were constantly eroding his understanding as an ordinary person.

It wasn't just him; the hundreds of millions of people watching the livestream felt the same way.

Yu Le was about to say more when a shrill alarm suddenly echoed through every corner of Sunken Dragon Pass!

Ding ding ding—!!!

The sudden alarm startled everyone in the expedition team. They nervously looked around, not knowing what had happened.

"Enemy attack?" Yu Le's expression immediately became grave.

"Enemy attack!" A flash of panic crossed the journalist's face, then, as if realizing something, he regained his composure. "Is this the Cthulhu Faction myth attack you mentioned?"

"Probably. Just stay here and rest well, don't run around. There are several human deities guarding Sunken Dragon Pass right now, so you'll be safe..." After briefly arranging for the group, Yu Le turned and rushed out of the room, running毫不犹豫ly into the storm.

With Yu Le's departure, the room fell into dead silence, leaving only the shrill alarm echoing outside as wind and rain drowned the distant walls of the pass.

"What do we do now?" someone from the expedition team asked.

"What else can we do... If something goes wrong outside, a divine war is about to break out. It's too dangerous for us to go out. Let's just stay in the room like he said."

"That's a divine war! Aren't you curious?"

"You saw it yourself—a single monster abroad nearly killed us all. What's outside now are genuine deities! Did you all forget that dragon flying in the sky? If it just flapped its wings a bit, we'd all be dead!"

"We also think, after all, this is our own territory. The Night Watch will protect us well... We don't need to take the risk."

Having experienced several life-and-death crises consecutively, the expedition team had begun to fear the unknown. When they set out, they had signed a生死状, but that didn't mean they had completely disregarding their lives. They had faced deities abroad, and that fear rooted in their souls was enough to destroy the confidence and courage of the vast majority of ordinary people.

The atmosphere in the room immediately fell silent.

Meanwhile, waves of dense bullet comments scrolled across the livestream,

【啊啊啊!!我想看神战��!】
【Go out and film a bit, please... really, I've tipped you ten thousand yuan, let us see what's happening at Sunken Dragon Pass】
【I also tipped, someone go film outside, even just from far away!!】
【You guys are all过分了!The expedition team is also human, not a tool专门 to entertain you! Are they risking their lives for nothing?】
【Although I really want to see it, I don't want to force them to die...】
【......】

Although most of the comments were urging the expedition team to go out and film, there were still some people showing compassion and sympathy, caring about the expedition team members' lives. Even so, massive tips kept疯狂flooding in—within just ten seconds, the tips on the livestream exceeded thirty million!

"Lao Liao, look..." The expedition team member responsible for monitoring the livestream couldn't help but show this to the journalist.

The journalist glanced at the comments and fell silent.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the howling wind and rain outside the window, the glass rattling loudly. On the faintly visible outer wall, clusters of暗红色的身影 were gradually gathering. A decisive light flashed in his eyes!

"Close the tipping channel." He spoke calmly.

"What?"

"Close the tipping channel, then give me the camera. I'll go out and film myself."

"Are you insane?! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is outside?"

"Dangerous?" The journalist raised his hand, pointing at those暗红色的身影 in the wind and rain outside the window, his voice deep and resolute, "If we stay here, we're safe... But don't forget, where does this safety come from? If not for them risking their lives out there! Could you sit here comfortably enjoying this so-called 'safety' in peace?

Just now, that Night Watch member Yu Le is only about as old as my son—are any of you worried about how dangerous it is for them?? They're not born from nothing, raised by no one?"

The more Liao Chentao spoke, the more excited he became, the veins on his neck bulging one by one,

"... Also, let me ask you all, what do we do?"

"We're journalists, goddamn it!"

"We exist precisely to uncover the truth, to report the truth!"

"You all heard it—even during the hundred years of mist descent, if not for them protecting us secretly, we'd have died eight hundred times over already! These people have been silently protecting us for a hundred years in the dark. Now, should we let them fight alone in the darkness?"

This speech by the journalist left everyone in the expedition team frozen in place.

Before they could come to their senses, he simply shouldered the camera, without a moment's hesitation, and walked toward the door. His determined voice echoed through the room:

"The achievements of heroes... should never be buried forever in darkness.

I will stake my life, with the camera in my hands, to let them stand beneath the spotlights of the sun."

As his words fell, his figure had already disappeared into the swaying wind and rain. Only then did someone in the expedition team snap back to reality, clenching their fists, gritting their teeth, and rushing out after him!

【Liao journalist speaks great!!】
【卧槽!太特么帅了!第一次被一个记者震撼到了】
【Liao journalist is a real man! You absolutely cannot die! (#attached Lin QiyeSix-Winged Seraph photo)】
【He really... he closed the tipping channel, truly laying everything on the line, right?】
【Must be safe, must be safe...】
【......】

In the heavy rain, Reporter Liao ran through Sunken Dragon Pass shouldering the camera. Inside the livestream, his heavy panting could be clearly heard.

As he ran, the lens was covered by rainwater, and viewers couldn't see the直播画面 clearly. They could only discern from the outlines of objects that he was climbing stairs.

The shrill alarm echoed around him, roaring waves crashed against the outer wall of Sunken Dragon Pass, sending thunderous booms. Even just hearing the sounds, they could sense that Reporter Liao was constantly getting closer to the outer perimeter of Sunken Dragon Pass.

Finally, the shaking image stabilized.
