Chapter 24
Interstellar Portal?; A Call from Y Country (1)
Longjiang International Airport.
A hundred cargo planes landed filled with all kinds of supplies finally landed.
This was the second day after Gu Changqing slayed the demi dragon.
Athena finally arrived with the supplies.
Zhang Hu brought a few men over to the leading plane. When the cabin door opened, the first person he saw was a tall and curvaceous Caucasian woman with shoulder-length blonde hair. She was dressed in red and gold armor, looking noble and beautiful. This person was none other than Athena.
On the way here, they encountered many ferocious birds. If it were not for her, the planes would not have arrived at the Nine Region Empire safely.
Zhang Hu stepped forward and greeted Athena with a smile and a pair of bright eyes before introducing himself. “Welcome! I’m Zhang Hu, the leader of the Demon Alliance. I’m here to welcome you under the orders of my boss.”
“Hello, I’m Athena!”
Athena led two Divine Runemasters off the plane and smiled at Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu reached out to shake Athena’s hand as he said, “Thank you for your country’s help. Our boss is waiting for you at the base.”
Athena nodded slightly and removed her armor. She was wearing a tight-fitting black dress with purple patterns, which accentuated her small waist and ample chest perfectly.
…
At the same time, at the venue of the press conference in the capital.
The delayed press conference began without any surprises.
It was broadcasted live across the country, announcing the establishment of the Divine Runemaster Alliance and its leader, Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s speech was very impassioned.
…
Gu Changqing had stood against the Divine Runemasters for ordinary people so there were many Divine Runemasters who ran over to join the alliance. Joining the alliance was equivalent to working for the government. In their opinion, even if they deducted a can of meat from the laborers, Gu Changqing would not say anything. After all, most of them only owned small meat processing factories. Although joining the alliance meant that they would have to listen to the country’s orders, the benefits outweighed the losses.
In just a short day, the members of the Divine Runemaster Alliance reached over a thousand.
Gu Changqing had no interest in the Divine Runemasters Alliance at all. He had already said what needed to be said. Those who ignored his words could not blame him for being cruel.
…
The Demon Alliance Base in the western suburbs.
The shelter was not deserted like before and was bustling with activity now.
Several factories were operating at the same time, and there were more than 8,000 workers in the base. As long as they worked, they would have enough food and clothing. Moreover, their accommodation was very good. They did not have to worry about their safety or how they would survive the day after.
There was a park in the base, and many children were playing there at this moment.
In the fields, many women could be seen working as well.
Every day the sun would rise and set. The operation of the people in the base was also very orderly, and everyone was happy.
At this moment, a motorcade drove into the base. They were all heavy-duty trucks filled with carcasses of all kinds of mutant beasts.
From time to time, large cargo helicopters would land at the helipad, bringing back a large number of carcasses of sea beasts to the meat processing plant.
The 158 members of the Demon Alliance were divided into teams of ten. Each time, five teams would be dispatched, taking turns to lead a group of ordinary Divine Runemasters to hunt mutant beasts.
Those who were not dispatched would usually stay in the base to cultivate.
Ordinary Divine Runemasters were not members of the Demon Alliance. There were about 300 of them in the base. When they went out with the members of the Demon Alliance, they were usually in charge of cleaning up the battlefield and transporting supplies. Not everyone had the qualifications to join the Demon Alliance after all.
At this time, the motorcade had pulled to a stop in the open square.
A woman dressed in Luan Bird armor, who was sitting in the same car as Wang Rong, asked Wang Rong, “Captain, now that the mission has been completed, can I go out for a while?”
Wang Rong was the captain of the team this time. If the members of her team wanted to go out, they would need to report it to her no matter what.
The woman who had spoken was called Zhao Yufei. She was about 24 or 25 years old. Her face and her figure were both impeccable. She was also a member of the Demon Alliance.
After ordering someone to drive the trucks to the meat processing plant, Wang Rong asked, “For what reason?”
Wang Rong’s tattoo was that of an angel queen. At this moment, she was wearing the red and gold Angel Queen armor, which showed off her curvy figure. She looked extremely noble in armor.
“Captain, I want to visit my best friend. She’s alone and has a child. I want to give her some food,” Zhao Yufei said in a low voice.
“Go. Come back as soon as possible to cultivate after you’re done. You should know how strict the Young Master is about this,” Wang Rong said before she patted Zhao Yufei’s shoulder and left.
Gu Changqing was very strict with the members of the Demon Alliance. Apart from eating, drinking, and defecating, it was imperative that they cultivated. After all, he knew there would be a fierce battle soon.
As for ordinary Divine Runemasters, there were not so many restrictions. It was up to them to cultivate or not. After all, their job was only to clean up the battlefield and transport goods.
“Thanks, Captain. I’ll be back as soon as I can!” Zhao Yufei thanked Wang Rong before she returned to her room to clean up and change.
…
In the luxurious hall of the main building.
Gu Changqing, who was dressed in a set of black loungewear, sat on the couch as he looked at the huge shadow that was slowly emerging from the depths of the Bermuda Triangle, which was projected by the satellite of M Country.
