Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class Chapter 218 - Survivors in the Ruins

Chapter 218: Survivors in the Ruins

Guan Zexiao was surprised at the mention of the Hero Company.

This was because he was the one who proposed the formation of the Hero Company.

As a reincarnator who had once fought against the monster army, he understood the monsters well.

He made the Hero Company to hunt monsters.

Everyone in the company was carefully selected. Every individual was outstanding.

After undergoing systematic training, they would surely become an important force in the future fight against the monsters.

To train them, he sent them into the Dai State, where the experimental subjects were rampant.

And now, Qin Chuan was asking for them.

It was obvious that Qin Chuan wanted the soldiers in the Hero Company to do cultivation.

Guan Zexiao was naturally willing if it was for cultivation.

However, they were on a mission now. If he suddenly recalled them, other countries would probably object.

After all, in secret, all the major countries were members of the Human Alliance.

Everyone had already been allocated their tasks. So it was a little unreasonable to withdraw just like that.

Thus, Guan Zexiao explained the situation to Qin Chuan.

After Qin Chuan heard this, he said, Don’t worry about that. I’ll ask the people from the Combat specialization to take care of the experimental subjects.”

“Alright then!” Guan Zexiao was a little hesitant but ultimately agreed.

All of this was to resist the monster calamity in the future.

After that, Qin Chuan taught Guan Zexiao the cultivation techniques of the academy and taught him how to perform breathing exercises.

Guan Zexiao had the apt.i.tude of the Five Elements Soul and was a reincarnator. In just a few minutes, he was able to draw Qi into his body. He had truly stepped onto the path of immortality.

…

Dai State, Hu Er Desert.

After several hours of fighting, the soldiers finally managed to wipe out all the experimental subjects that were attacking them.

There were no casualties in this battle. Therefore, it was a complete victory.

It was all thanks to the Third-Generation Monolith Electromagnetic Cannons that things went so

smoothly.

After a short break.

Everyone set off towards the dilapidated city in the middle of the oasis.

Since they had eliminated a large number of experimental subjects, the journey was quite smooth.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

The city was very run-down. There were ruins as far as the eye could see. Weeds were everywhere, and the ground was covered with human skeletons.

“Everyone, don’t get distracted. Stay alert!” s.h.i.+ Guangliang clapped his hands and shouted.

Then, everyone arrived at the stadium.

Overall, the stadium was still relatively intact. Other than a large hole in the west side, the rest of the place was almost the same as before.

However, there were also many human skeletons scattered around the stadium.

After the Hero Company arrived, they cleared up the southeastern side and set up tents.

After they established the temporary stronghold, they would be spending the rest of their days here.

At this time, Zhao Xuanxuan approached s.h.i.+ Guangliang.

“Commander, I’m preparing to go search for survivors in the city,” Zhao Xuanxuan said seriously.

s.h.i.+ Guangliang asked, “Are you going alone?”

“Sun Lingxiao’s coming too,” Zhao Xuanxuan replied.

“We’ve almost eliminated all the experimental subjects in this oasis, but that doesn’t mean that there is no danger at all.

“Besides, you two girls are going alone.

“Zhao Xuanxuan, you are very strong, but I can’t let you take that risk.”

s.h.i.+ Guangliang thought for a moment. “How about this? I’ll arrange for two groups of people to go out and search together.”

Regarding this, Zhao Xuanxuan had no objections.

s.h.i.+ Guang immediately called over two squad leaders and explained the situation.

Zhao Xuanxuan and Sun Lingxiao followed the two teams out of the stadium.

They were equipped with life-detecting devices, but the range of detection was at most ten meters, so their efficiency would be lower.

Zhao Xuanxuan did not count on these devices either.

“Huang Huang, can you check if there is the scent of living people?” Zhao Xuanxuan patted Huang Huang, who was on her shoulder.

At the same time, she instructed the Bamboo Spirit to search for survivors.

With the help of these two mythical beasts, she quickly found something.

Huang Huang pointed in a certain direction with his paw and barked a few times. The Bamboo Spirit also pointed in that direction.

Zhao Xuanxuan frowned. “Nowhere else?”

Yellow shook his head.

“Alright!” Zhao Xuanxuan couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but at least someone was still alive.

She informed the two squad leaders, and the group of people rushed over.

They arrived in front of a ruin.

Judging by the rusty iron plates scattered around it, it was a food processing plant.

“Huang Huang, where are the people?” Zhao Xuanxuan asked.

Huang Huang pointed in a certain direction.

Zhao Xuanxuan unsheathed out the long sword on her back and casually waved it twice, instantly releasing a red sword beam.

As the sword beam moved, a path was cut open in the mud-filled ruins.

When everyone saw Zhao Xuanxuan, everyone was extremely shocked.

Presently, a badly deformed metal bin appeared ahead of the cleared path.

A very faint voice came from the bin.

The voice was very soft, and normal people would probably not notice it, but to Zhao Xuanxuan, it was very clear.

She went to the metal bin and knocked.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“You’re safe.” Zhao Xuanxuan spoke in the language of Dai State.

Her major in university was language-related.

When she was in university, she knew that it was not easy for Qin Chuan to provide for her. Hence, she put in a lot of effort. Every year, she received a scholars.h.i.+p and mastered many languages.

Soon, the sound of movement came from the metal bin.

Then the lid of the metal bucket was pushed open, and two scrawny children crawled out.

The two children’s clothes were torn and tattered, and they looked like bags of bones.

They held each other’s hands, their innocent eyes flickering with complex emotions.

It was hard to imagine how they had lasted until now.

When everyone saw these two children, they thought it was a miracle for them to have survived for this long.

Someone had brought food and water with them, and they handed them to the two children immediately.

The older child was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he gave the food to the younger child.

Many people started to cry at this sight.

Zhao Xuanxuan walked forward, squatted down, and smiled. “Tell me, what are your names? How old are you?”

The older child replied, “My name is Ritz. I’m seven years old.

“He’s my younger brother. His name is Reddy. He’s four years old.”

Zhao Xuanxuan couldn’t believe they were so young.

Even an adult might not be able to persevere in the same way.

Zhao Xuanxuan smiled softly and gently stroked Ritz’s head.

“So, Ritz, how did you two survive?”

Ritz gestured with his hands as he spoke. “There was jam in the bucket, but it turned bad after two days.

“Teacher had said that eating something smelly would make me sick.

“So, I snuck out to look for food. But… but there were only rocks and steel bars all around. There was very little food I could find.

“We had no choice. We ate the stale jam.

“Later, we finished the jam too. ”

At this, Ritz dropped his head, and his voice became softer. He looked aggrieved.

“Then how did you guys persevere after finis.h.i.+ng the jam?” Zhao Xuanxuan asked.

Ritz jerked his head up. “Mom and Dad said they’d come to take us out.

“In any case, we have to wait until Mom and Dad get back.

“If we feel hungry, we slept.

“If we got too hungry, we would eat the soil and worms on the ground.

“And just like that, we held on until now.

“Sister, did my Mom and Dad send you here?”

Ritz looked at Zhao Xuanxuan expectantly.

As she looked into his innocent eyes, Zhao Xuanxuan did not know how to answer the question.

At that moment, a piercing sound rang out above their heads.
