Chapter 590: Good Eyesight

After they entered the military camp, they were greeted by personnel who helped them complete the procedures. Everyone who entered the camp had to wear a badge on their chest in order for them to move around the camp.

Security was quite strict. After all, fugitives often fled here. This was also a place where intruders could randomly gain access into the country. It was not easy to guard such a vast territory.

Lu Shu asked curiously, “Where are the rest of the Daoyuan Class students?”

The person leading them said, “The ruins have opened. Those who had arrived earlier have gone into the ruins. You need to wait for the last batch of people to arrive before going in. You are not in a rush, right?”

After all, they had to be methodical in doing this. It would be too messy if everyone was allowed to enter once they reached the campsite.

“No hurry, no hurry. Where are the remains?” Lu Shu asked. He had intended to look for Lu Xiaoyu after this. But he did not think that Lu Xiaoyu had already entered the remains. Thinking about how a group of Daoyuan Class had gone ahead to look for resources made Lu Shu somewhat sad...

But Lu Shu had a lot of experience under his belt. He knew that there was no difference if they went into the ruins one or two days later. He could still find many useful items inside.

“The remains are 7 kilometers north of Lop Nur. We need to take a car to go there, but we cannot get too close. We can only guard the outskirts.” The person speaking seemed to be from the Heavenly Network. The main task for Heavenly Network members this time round was to guard the outskirts and prevent any suspicious persons from forcing their way into the remains.

The Heavenly Network monopolized the remains in the country, unlike overseas where remains quickly became like a carnival to practitioners from all over the world.

“How long have they been inside?” Lu Shu casually asked.

“Five days,” someone answered.

Lu Shu gasped in shock. “The students inside must be in danger! As comrades, we have to hurry up and save them!”

The Heavenly Network member leading them said, “Didn’t you say that there was no hurry? Just wait. We have to wait until the last batch arrives. I have just received information that they will arrive in 1.5 hours.”

Trains did not come here, thus the military trucks were the only possible form of transport.

When Lu Shu found out that the other Daoyuan Class students had been here for five days, he burned with impatience. Chen Baili was in the lead for this mission. With Chen Baili’s abilities, he could obtain the relic within a matter of days. So what was the point of Lu Shu coming all the way here for?

While waiting for a fleet of vehicles to arrive, a hundred Daoyuan Class students alighted from five military trucks. A fat figure took the lead, rushing forth with valiance.

The fatty seemed to be the leader of this group of students. They all grouped around their revered leader.

Jiang Feng looked at them and said, “They are probably the Class A aptitude geniuses who have just returned from their task.”

There was some envy in his voice. Every single Class A aptitude genius had changed after returning from their task. In the past, people had only admired their talents. After all, there was not much difference among them aside from their talents.

But it was different now. These geniuses had experienced blood and fire to emerge as elites. Everyone had not just admiration towards them, but also respect. Some even worshiped them.

The group of people walked over. When the fatty saw Lu Shu and his group, he stopped in his tracks. It was as if he was not certain of what he had seen and walked closer to have a proper look. Suddenly, there was a terrible wail. “Brother Shu! Brother Shu, there you are! Do you know how much I’ve suffered these two months?”

Lu Shu said, “Chen Zuan...”

To be honest, Lu Shu felt that Chen Zuan had changed significantly. In the past, he was chubby. Now, he seemed tougher. In short, he did not slim down.

Lu Shu also knew that Chen Zuan was not a Class A genius, yet he had been assigned by Nie Ting to complete a mission. But Nie Ting’s allocation was ingenious. For example, Cao Qingci’s task was very dangerous. Although Chen Zuan’s ability was low, Nie Ting had allocated him to a task that tested his willpower and endurance.

Lu Shu asked curiously, “What happened to your eyesight? Could you not see me from that distance?”

Chen Zuan pulled Lu Shu to a side and said softly, “Don’t you know where Heavenly King Nie had sent me to do? The place that I went to had miasma! I almost turned blind!”

Chen Zuan had really changed a lot. Although he had vented his grievances, he did not reveal the nature of his task. That was confidential information.

“Oh...” Lu Shu nodded his head. “I feel that you have gained a lot from this task. It looks like you have grown a lot.”

Chen Zuan laughed. “Now that my eyesight is not good, I can no longer see things that are far away. The doctor said that it would take six months before I completely recover. Thus, I’ll leave myself in your care when we go in the remains. Our friendship hasn’t changed, right?”

Lu Shu glanced at him. He did not even wear a watch. He pointed to the setting sun. “What is that?”

“Er...” Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “The sun.”

“The sun is 92 million 950 thousand kilometers away. How much further do you want to see?” Lu Shu asked.

Chen Zuan was speechless.

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

“Okay, since everyone is here, let’s hurry up and go in.” Lu Shu was impatient.

When Jiang Feng and the rest saw Chen Zuan and Lu Shu quietly talking in a corner, they felt like ever since they stepped into the campsite, they could not understand this son of an influential family. Was their initial judgment wrong?

But Chen Zuan had called him Brother Shu, not Lu Shu. They could not understand what was going on. Shu? What kind of name was that? Furthermore, the people who had followed behind Chen Zuan seemed to have accepted Lu Shu as one of the Class A aptitude geniuses.

Chen Zuan only said that he had gone on a mission and participated in the military training with the Class A aptitude geniuses. But when others asked about his natural talents, he avoided the subject. If he did not do so, the fact that he did not have Class A aptitude would be exposed. It would be hard for him to carry on this act...

What meaning was there in life if one did not act their way through it...

Lu Shu was desperate to enter the remains. He asked the Heavenly Network member to have a car send them to the remains. Chen Zuan stuck to Lu Shu like a sticky sweet. He followed Lu Shu wherever Lu Shu went. To Chen Zuan, there was nothing more reasonable than cozying up to Lu Shu when they entered the remains.

His granduncle, Chen Baili, was in the ruins, but Chen Zuan could not cling onto him!

A fleet of five military trucks rushed to the north. As they exited the campsite, the sun finally set below the horizon. The last rays of light had started to disappear.

At that moment, a massive hole suddenly opened up in the campsite!
