January 22nd, the seventh day of the joint operation.
It’s over.” Wang Ye stood on a boulder halfway up the mountain and looked at the setting sun in the distance.
“Yes.” Yu Shuiqin, whose hand was held by Wang Ye, looked at his side profile and felt a hint of sweetness.
Ever since the life-and-death battle on Longwang Mountain two days ago, their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds.
“How is Zirui recovering now?” Wang Ye asked.
“He can already get out of bed,” Yu Shuiqin smiled and said. “Song Shuyi has been accompanying him in the medical room for the past two days.”
“That’s good.” Wang Ye held back his laughter.
He could roughly imagine the pleasant scene.
“Look, this is the photo he sent this afternoon.” Yu Shuiqin opened the photo album on her watch. Wang Ye leaned over and took a closer look.
Good heavens, he was even staying in an advanced ward alone! He was dressed neatly and looked elegant. He looked as usual and had a smile on his face.
Was life so comfortable? He had to add some spice.
“This guy seems to value his girlfriend over his friends. He just sent me a message saying that he can’t thank me enough.”
Wang Ye turned on his field watch.
Then, he set the time-lapse function for three seconds.
He raised his left hand and hugged Yu Shuiqin with his right hand. Then, he pressed his face against her pink soft face and made a ‘yay’.
Saved and sent, all done in one go.
He turned his head and looked at Yu Shuiqin, whose small face was red from the setting sun. Their eyes locked.
Yu Shuiqin lowered her head shyly. Her cheeks were red and her heart was beating rapidly. She rubbed her fingertips with her slender fingers.
She still smells so good.
Wang Ye turned his face and gently kissed her soft and sweet cherry lips.
Under the setting sun, the two figures overlapped.
Eastern Base City. Private hospital, advanced ward.
“No, it’s really okay. Thank you.”Huang Zirui maintained a polite smile and rejected every request from Song Shuyi.
He was going crazy from staying 24 hours together with Song Shuyi!
Although he was very touched by Song Shuyi’s kindness, he really wanted to say “thank you, next”.
Suddenly, his watch vibrated slightly.
“Wang Ye?” Huang Zirui looked at the person who sent the message and smiled.
His savior.
He didn’t know how to repay Wang Ye.
According to Xiao Qin, he was in danger at that time. The snake-scaled blood demon was about to kill him.
Fortunately, Wang Ye wasn’t afraid of danger and had rushed over to fight the blood demons alone.
Wang Ye was Huang Zirui’s lifelong friend!
“After we meet -”
Huang Zirui opened the message and looked at the “landscape photo” that Wang Ye had sent. His eyes instantly widened and he lost control of his expression.
Three seconds later…
“No!”
Huang Zirui’s miserable wails came from the advanced ward.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Song Shuyi rushed over.
Wuyi County, Baimu Village.
Wang Ye and Yu Shuiqin returned to the assembly point.
They could have returned with the team two days ago, but Wang Ye insisted on completing the search and rescue mission, so Yu Shuiqin stayed behind.
The two of them then completed the search and rescue mission that Huang Zirui and Song Shuyi had not.
“Hiss!
Suddenly, a pitch-black medium-grade fiend-level monster appeared from the ruins in front of them.
Wang Ye didn’t slow down as he unsheathed the Red Sub Saber.
A bright light flashed.
Chi!
The monster was instantly killed.
[Killed a level 2 rat monster.]
[Potential Points: 221.5^222.5.]
The harvest was huge.
If not for the fact that the mission was over, Wang Ye would have stayed a few more days, especially in the mountains outside the village. There were many nightmare-level monsters there.
After completing the mission in the afternoon, he and Yu Shuiqin went hunting on the mountain. After a day, his potential points had exceeded 100.
After returning to the base city, potential points wouldn’t be so easy to earn.
Still, it was about time to return.
He had obtained two fruits on Longwang Mountain, especially the awakening fruit. His path to becoming an intermediate Evolver had been paved.
As expected, his next task after the holidays was to advance to become an intermediate Evolver and become the captain of the West 101 Rescue Team!
*

The joint operation ended.
On the morning of the eighth day, the captains officially announced that the rescue team’s first mission had been successfully completed.
All eyes were on the West Camp.
In terms of the search and rescue mission alone, the East Camp ranked first, but there was no comparison at all!
After all, the West Camp had destroyed a demonic human organization’s base and seized thirteen boxes of equipment and weapons.
It was ridiculous! It was equivalent to completing a demon-exterminating mission independently!
And all of this was done by a rookie! The captain didn’t participate.
“Wang Ye, let’s compete again next time!” Wei Shengtian from the East Camp stared at Wang Ye with pride in his eyes. He muttered,” I’ve only encountered nightmare-level monsters this time…”
He was not at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight with a nightmare-level monster. He lost to Wang Ye because he was unlucky and didn’t encounter the demonic humans.
That was all.
Wang Ye smiled.
“Captain Tong, you’re really enviable.” Captain Chen from the South Camp said goodbye to Tong Wu.
Captain Chen looked at Wang Ye with a smile on his face and sighed in his heart.
If he had such a member, how proud could he be?
“It’s alright. He only killed 25 demonic humans that include two intermediate-rank blood demons.” Tong Wu’s face was expressionless, but his words were sonorous.
The members of the rescue teams from the other three camps widened their eyes.
No way! So many? Two intermediate-rank blood demons?
Their captains didn’t reveal too much, so they had always thought that Wang Ye had only killed beginner-rank demonic humans…
This was too exaggerated!
Wei Shengtian was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. He looked at Wang Ye blankly. “You… You killed all of them yourself?”
Those were intermediate-rank blood demons that were even stronger than nightmare-level monsters!
How did he do it?
TWo of them!
“Yes.” Wang Ye didn’t explain too much.
From the beginning to the end, it was Wei Shengtian’s wishful thinking, treating him as a competitor…
Why bother?
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wang Ye and Yu Shuiqin got into the SUV.
The engine roared, and dust billowed as it sped away.
Captain Ma Junjie lifted his sunglasses and patted Wei Shengtian’s shoulder. “Are you convinced?”
” I -” Wei Shengtian blushed.
“There’s bound to be someone better. Although you’re number one in the East Camp, there are many more who are more talented or more hard-working than you. Remember, don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be dejected when you lose. Your path as an Evolver is still very long.” Ma Junjie nudged Wei Shengtian.
“Yes, captain!” Wei Shengtian nodded his head in encouragement. “1 refuse to accept defeat! I’ll quickly make up for the losses in the joint operation!”
Wei Shengtian’s eyes were full of confidence. “I’ll be the first intermediate
Evolver of batch 101 in a month at most!”
Ma Junjie was very satisfied. “Alright, get in the car.”
Eastern Base City, Evolution Camp headquarters.
Thud, thud!
The footsteps were hurried, and the door of the monitoring room was pushed open.
The Chief and East Camp’s commander entered.
Many of the staff members stood up immediately, their faces filled with nervousness and fear. The atmosphere was suffocating.
“Enlarge the screen,” East Camp’s Commander ordered.
“Yes, sir!”
The radar screen zoomed in.
A dot of light marked with the number 9 could be seen in the sea. It was slowly leaving Island Country and entering the sea, heading straight for – Eastern Base City!
“It’s here, it has come ultimately…” The Chief muttered.
Cosmic monster N0.9!
It was the Giant Turtle that was the size of an island and was closest to Huaxia.
It was coming!
Just mentioning the ten cosmic monsters could make one terrified. Everywhere they went, people were plunged into misery, and not a single base city was spared.
“What’s its speed? How long will it take to reach the Eastern Base City?” The East Camp’s commander asked in a deep voice.
“Its maximum speed is over 100 kilometers per hour, but it seems to get tired easily. It stops and moves in intervals, and its speed basically doesn’t exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Commander, look, it has stopped in place again.”
On the screen, cosmic monster No. 9 stopped on the surface of the sea, seemingly dozing off.
“Based on the current data, it will take about 3 to 7 days for cosmic monster No.9 to reach Huaxia. Maybe it’s just passing by. It might not attack the Eastern Base City,” East Camp’s commander analyzed calmly. “At the beginning of the great calamity, cosmic monster No. 3 had also left Huaxia after circling the place.”
No matter what, begin to arrange for a partial evacuation,” The Chief ordered. “Monitor the follow-up changes and report at all times. The specific countermeasures will be decided after the headquarter meeting!”
“Yes, Chief!”
