Chapter 61: A Visit to the Threshold
More than a dozen soldiers in the truck shouted loudly as they leaped down. Carrying their luggage, they rushed up the gangway like a charge, almost squeezing the ticket inspector at the entrance into the sea.
Inside the cockpit of the K1, the vigilant sonar operator promptly reported the anomaly detected by the equipment to Captain Berezutsky.
Fang Xin said with a calm expression, "We are from Feiliu Public Relations Company. We are here today to discuss potential cooperation with your esteemed company!" With that, she nodded gently to Jiang Jiujiu beside her.
Failing to land a hit with his first sword strike, Chen Mufan continued to entangle him in close combat, firmly resolved to give his opponent a hard time.
As a Special Investigation Bureau handling specialist, she hurriedly rummaged through the driver's seat of the car, hoping to find a gun or two. However, she forgot that this car was not hers, but merely borrowed, and her own firearm was still stored in her own vehicle.
The only surprising thing was the unexpected length of this tunnel, which seemed to lead deep down into the bowels of the earth.
The first officer immediately manipulated the controls, notifying the cabin to correspondingly reduce altitude, while several other officers and non-commissioned officers dispersed to issue orders for absolute silence in each cabin.
In this way, according to the system settings, if stealth is detected, it becomes ineffective. Although this is a rather buggy setting, without it, the game would simply become the exclusive domain of assassins.
A man has gold under his knees; he kneels only to heaven and earth in reverence, and in between, only to his master Qin Lingxue. Yet at this moment, Ma Kun dropped to his knees before Ling Yuehua without a second thought.
At the Nanguan of Fengxin County, the Zhuixian Column set up warning lines and began constructing barracks. Not only did they establish a cordon at Nanguan, but they also extended lengthy warning lines to the north of the Liaohe Bridge, prohibiting all vehicles and pedestrians from passing. Travelers and merchants were forced to take a detour.
Although Lv Chudan had been intimidated the night before when Young Master Ye threatened to send him to the police station to assist with the investigation,
Seeing those fingernails shooting toward him like arrows, the man had no choice but to land on the ground to avoid becoming a common target.
Momo, who had been shaking her head and sighing, suddenly glanced sideways at the sunlight outside the window. Wait, isn't it morning right now?
As soon as these beads appeared, each emitted a blinding radiance, revolving in a synchronized pattern as they forcefully collided with the oncoming destructive force.
"Never seen one? Then you can go die," the tall, thin-middle-aged man said sinisterly. With a flick of his right hand, a dart flashed forth, flying straight toward Jiang Zaiyuan's glabella.
Hu Gua said, "The three of us have been training together these past two days using the moves and methods you taught us, and we've truly improved quite a bit. Instructor Yuan was especially happy, and told Le Yi and me that even if you'd surely refuse to be called master out loud, we must always regard you as our master in our hearts."
This voice was extremely abrupt, and Gong Yongrui could not even tell whether it was an auditory hallucination or a flash of insight. Or perhaps, was this the so-called instinctive intuition of a top-tier martial arts expert?
Damn it, I've been hanging around here for so many years, and I've never dared to ask to borrow more than one hundred thousand at once. You open your mouth and demand ten million right off the bat. With that kind of attitude of yours, would anyone ever believe you?
"Divorce me? But why?" Ze still understood the meaning of the word "divorce," which was essentially equivalent to being an abandoned husband, or Momo kicking him out. Because his dear wife suffered from morning sickness and vomited constantly during her pregnancy, she kept these words on the tip of her tongue every day, and he had already deeply experienced their terrifying power.
Luo Jianhong remained utterly unfearful. With a sweep of his sword light, he enveloped both rays of incoming sword qi, chuckled softly, and slapped his Qiankun pouch with his right hand, sending a streak of silver light shooting toward the old Taoist priest like a crashing thunderbolt.
Not only Jiang Xia heard it, but Fatty also heard it. His expression turned astonished, his eyes wide open as he stared straight at the green door before him, whispering softly to Jiang Xia who stood beside him.
"Not a child? This is someone close to the professor brought over from country M. If not a child, what kind of person do you suppose they are?" The leader's face looked extremely unsightly. Having been spat on twice, how could he possibly be in a good mood?
Cheng Xuedong gazed with deep, profound eyes at the young woman beside him, a stirring emotion rising within his heart as well—the spirit of Suzhen back then was reliving itself in this young woman. He had no reason not to cherish the arrangements his deceased wife had made for him. Therefore, he quietly took her hand, conveying an unwavering resolution never to be parted.
"Thank you for your help." The old man who pushed the door open was still wearing dark sunglasses and a face mask. Yan Jiucheng crawled up from the ground, dragged his aching backside onto a stool, and blinked triumphantly at the old man.
"Please trust me. I, Hu Weiyong, have practiced traditional Chinese medicine for thirty years. If I can't even locate four acupuncture points accurately, I would truly have lived in vain." A middle-aged man stepped forward proactively and said in a deep voice.
The various construction sites out in the sea were all being overseen by Xu Chenyi, and he had always been the one maintaining contact with the local government officials.
Just as Lü Lie was about to start digging, suddenly, a ghostly pale hand emerged from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. Lü Lie bounded three feet into the air, performing almost a full backflip into the woods behind. After finally steadying his shaken nerves and regaining his wits, he realized that the newcomer was none other than Li Yuan.
