Chapter 288, A Cup of Wine

The impact of the 108 Barrier’s destruction was far-reaching, in the entire battlefield, the wide barrier itself was the largest forward base for Li’s combat troops.

The rest of the combat troops organized in the rear barriers running to the front line would repair and resupply at the 108 Barrier before continuing northward, which was the reason for the sudden food shortage at the 108 Barrier.

Li had never experienced a huge war so he lacked experience, and many generals even thought that war was a very simple thing, all that was needed was for that war machine to run steadily, and they had designed years of operational mechanisms and alternatives for this.

However, the moment the war started, they realized that war is not a constant, and accidents are the most common pattern in war.

After the 108 barriers were destroyed, Li’s frontline troops were suddenly deprived of a complete supply line, Yang’s armored forces kept attacking Qing Sheng Mountain just to open a gap for their infiltration forces, and this strategy was undoubtedly a huge success.

After the experiments had retreated, Yang’s nano forces still continued to carry out rear destruction, as well as the destruction of major strategic facilities.

Only Yang Xiaoguan had disappeared from sight; she was one of Yang’s core figures, yet she didn’t seem to be interested in the war itself, and the nanoforce wasn’t even aware of her arrival.

Outside rumors had it that the mob and Yang had been at odds for a long time, but no one knew what the truth was really like.

Li’s side’s supply line was cut off, and nothing could be seen in the short term, but if their rear forces couldn’t successfully complete the rebuilding of the supply line, then this would be a catastrophic blow to Li.

And after Lee suffered this disaster, he has decided to strike a retaliatory blow against Yang at all costs.

For the Southwest Battlefield, everyone cared more about things like supply lines, however, for the entire Transcendent World, Chen Wufei’s appearance was even a milestone event.

The mob had once defined this period of time as the “Dawn of the Gods” because no one in the entire Transcendent World had ever been able to truly transcend the mundane.

Everyone was still afraid of hot weapons, everyone was still hiding under the shadow of the consortium, and the power of the mundane constrained the entire transcendental world.

However, the emergence of Chen Wou-mei put an end to this period of time, and those who waited silently in the transcendental world defined the era after the emergence of Chen Wou-mei as the “Rise of the Gods”.

It was only because they had seen where the upper limit of the transcendent was, and hoped that they too could reach that height.

However, throughout the entire “Dawn” era, only Li Shentan could be called a demigod, and the only person who could touch the threshold of a god seemed to be Chen Wuhui.

That was the true meaning of the power that only a god could possess.

108 Barrier’s empty and dilapidated streets, a cold wind blew, and the tattered newspapers scattered on the ground were then swept into mid-air.

The leaves withered, in the past, there were cleaners in the barriers, however, now everyone in the barriers had fled, only a few people were still hiding in their homes heartily waiting for Li’s rescue, but Li Shentan’s missile troops had intercepted all of Li’s rear troops in the south, and could not get through in a short period of time.

Li Shentan walked alone on the long street, he looked at the depressed scene around him, no waves in his eyes.

The little girl Si Li Ren flew beside him in a white robe, not saying a word, she felt the sadness and loneliness in Li Shen Tan’s heart.

Li Shentan came to the place where Chen Wufei had previously fought with the experimental body, he quietly looked at Chen Wufei’s body which had been transformed into a stone sculpture, and with a sigh, he sat cross-legged opposite Chen Wufei.

This time, he sat there for a day and a night, as if he no longer cared about all the things in the outside world, even his hatred was briefly put down.

South and north of the artillery fire is still roaring, on the contrary, 108 barriers of this “seam” zone suddenly became a quiet pure land.

Between Li Shentan’s sitting, Si Li Ren waited by his side without saying a word, never leaving half a step, and never making a sound.

Suddenly let out a sigh, Li Shen Tan said: “Suddenly a little envious of Ren Xiaosu that kid.”

Si Li Ren curiously said, “Brother, are you feeling guilty?”

“I don’t feel guilty,” Li Shentan shook his head and said, firmness in his tone, “I’m not at fault either.”

How could someone who was able to become a Demon Whisperer’s powerful heart falter for a second? From the moment his revenge began, he had no intention of going to the right or wrong with anyone.

Even if he was wrong, so what?

Li Shentan looked at Chen Wufei’s sculpture and said, “You and I are both people who walked out of a mental institution.”

What he wanted to say was that of all the people who came out of mental hospitals in this era, himself and Chen Wou-mei were like two extremes, one with a pure heart and a heart for the light, while the other willingly sank into hell.

Li Shentan loved the name Devil Whisperer, because the devil inside him had long been enough to devour the world.

However, at the moment when Chen Wufei died, Li Shentan was suddenly touched by something.

He stood at the edge of the endless darkness of the abyss and wanted to take a leap of faith, but behind him there was always someone who seemed to be calling his name, Li Shentan looked back, but he could only see a void.

Li Shentan sat opposite Chen Wuhui and said, “There doesn’t seem to be anything I can do after revenge, if I’m not dead by then, I’ll go and guard your master for you for a bit.”

However, just then Li Shentan suddenly froze, he looked back at Si Li Ren, but Si Li Ren was floating in the air and had already dozed off.

He suddenly laughed, “Don’t sleep, don’t sleep, Li still has several more barriers, those old guys are afraid that they are already hiding, we have to find them out.”

……

88 Within the barriers, Luo Lan was feasting and drinking, anyway, it was all thanks to Yang’s hospitality and no money.

He couldn’t leave Barrier 88 until Yang’s cooperation with Qing was over. The reason why Yang was willing to build a foundation of trust and cooperation with Qing Zhen was also because Luo Lan had personally come here, which was Qing Zhen and Luo Lan’s sincerity.

Organizations with fine sources of intelligence channels knew very well that as long as Luo Lan was here at Yang’s, then Qing Zhen wouldn’t tear up the alliance between the two sides for no reason.

Of course, Luo Lan was also well aware of his current hostage situation, but he was calm, having made up his mind to come here for nothing.

Although he couldn’t get out of the 88 barriers, it had to be said that the treatment Yang had given him was definitely of the highest specification.

But just at this moment, suddenly a crow flew to the table, Luo Lan unraveled the small bamboo tube on that crow’s leg, and inside was a note.

Luo Lan’s obese fingers unfolded the rolled up note, and as a result, he froze just before opening to the content.

Luo Lan’s beloved underling asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Luo Lan sighed as he splashed the wine in his cup towards the ground, the friend who had saved his life and claimed that he was a Bunpo Ba was no longer there.
