Chapter 35: The Arrival of the Patrol Chief
“Hey, Li Feng, did you see that? That Thunderbolt Gobzan is so brutal. Luckily, I live in a villa, not a high-rise building, otherwise I’d be in danger. Just a little bit, just that little bit, and you wouldn’t see your brother.”
As soon as the phone connected, Yang Wei’s incessant voice came through. Although he described the process as very dangerous, for some reason, Li Feng felt that his voice was very annoying.
He took a deep breath and interrupted him, “What do you want? If you’re just going to talk nonsense, I’m hanging up.”
“Don’t, didn’t you say you were looking for a teammate? You said you’d give me an answer today. I waited all day and didn’t see you call. If you can’t do it, I’ll hire a teammate with a lot of money,” Yang Wei quickly changed his tune.
“I forgot.”
“Forgot? You forgot such an important thing? I…”
“Alright, I’ll go ask now. You wait.”
With a snap, Li Feng hung up the phone, his face slightly red. How could he forget such an important thing as the Gaokao? He found Lin Ling’er’s number in his phone’s contact list and dialed it directly.
“Li Feng, what’s up?” Compared to Yang Wei’s rambling, Lin Ling’er was much more direct.
Li Feng quickly explained Qin Anran’s situation and then said, “How about it? Are you interested in joining our team for the Gaokao?”
“No problem.”
After receiving a response, Li Feng immediately called Yang Wei back and told him that the problem was solved.
“Are you sure the teammate you found is reliable?”
Yang Wei was still a little worried, because not everyone could withstand the threat of the transfer students. However, before he could finish, Li Feng hung up on him, not bothering to listen to him anymore.
Then he continued to open the game dungeon, wanting to defeat Thunderbolt Gobzan, but for Li Feng, this was undoubtedly a hellish difficulty.
If Thunderbolt Gobzan had not been transformed, Li Feng might have been able to win, but now with the added ‘Hard Level’, the result was that he died again and again at his hands.
Just like that, a week passed quickly, and the day set for the Gaokao was quietly approaching.
During these days, the security of Chengde County became increasingly strict, with soldiers patrolling everywhere. Ordinary citizens, aware of the danger, hid in their homes and did not come out.
Since Gobzan’s first attack on Chengde County, in the following days, he continued to launch sneak attacks, occasionally clashing with the military.
However, Gobzan was always in the upper hand, causing considerable damage to the county. The most dangerous time, even Li Feng was almost implicated. Several high-rise buildings on his street were destroyed because of the fighting between the two sides.
……··
In a large hall in Chengde County, five people were standing. If Li Feng were here, he would definitely recognize one of them as the old man who had tricked him into going to Jianye Academy.
Beside Ye Buzhou were two other people who seemed to have a very close relationship. They were Xu Chang, the principal of Yude No. 2 High School, and Qin Ling, the principal of Yude No. 1 High School.
The remaining two were from the military and held considerable positions in Great Xia Nation.
Shua!
Just then, a middle-aged man appeared at the door, wearing a black cloak. His eyes, like lightning, scanned everyone in the hall.
His gaze was very cold. When he saw Ye Buzhou, his expression changed slightly, and he said, “Elder Ye, I didn’t expect you to be here too?”
“Little Yuan, I didn’t expect you to be the one coming this time.”
Ye Buzhou also sighed slightly when he saw the person, and then said, “I am the principal of the school here. I’ll leave the matter of Thunderbolt Gobzan to you.”
Yuan Zhen nodded and said, “I am the Patrol Chief for this year. The matters here should have been my responsibility. I just didn’t expect Elder Ye to be here as well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have needed to come.”
◈◈◈
“It’s not convenient for me to take action now. I’ll leave it to you to solve!” Ye Buzhou shook his head, not wanting to say more. Then he sighed with some emotion, “I didn’t expect that after ten years, you would become the Patrol Chief.”
The Patrol Department was a direct military organization created by Great Xia Nation, with great authority, specializing in dealing with Boss level creatures wandering in the suburbs.
Each Patrol Chief must be an Awakened level expert, and the lowest-ranking patrol officers under them were also Professional level experts.
The four people next to them heard the conversation between the two and the respectful look on the Patrol Chief’s face. They were all shocked, especially the principals of Yude No. 1 and No. 2 High Schools. They were all thinking, “This Ye Buzhou is not simple. I just don’t know why he came to this small place?”
In Great Xia Nation, there were many small places like Chengde County. Anyone with a little potential would not stay in such a place.
Presumably, Ye Buzhou also had some secrets of his own, but everyone did not intend to inquire.
“Patrol Chief, Your Excellency, your subordinate has booked a banquet at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion to welcome you,” Liu Jiang immediately stepped forward and said when he saw that the conversation between the two had ended.
He was the apparent leader of Chengde County. Of course, now he might have to rank behind Ye Buzhou.
“No need. Find Thunderbolt Gobzan and solve the trouble as soon as possible. I have other matters to attend to,” Yuan Zhen waved his hand and said.
In recent years, Boss level creatures had become increasingly active. Not only Chengde County, but many other places had also been attacked, which kept the entire Patrol Department busy.
“This…” Liu Jiang was slightly stunned and said with some difficulty, “Thunderbolt Gobzan’s whereabouts are erratic. It is also very difficult for us to capture his trail.”
These days, they had been passively defending. It was already good enough that Thunderbolt Gobzan did not take the initiative to come to them. Chengde County simply did not have the extra strength to find him.
Boom!
Yuan Zhen frowned. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden explosion came from outside.
“Sir, it should be Thunderbolt Gobzan attacking us,” Yuan Zhen said with a look of joy. If it were normal times, he would naturally be distressed, but Thunderbolt Gobzan chose to cause trouble just as the Patrol Chief arrived. It could only be said that he was unlucky.
“Good timing,” Yuan Zhen’s expression turned cold. He rushed out of the hall and, with a single step, flew out.
Liu Jiang and the others watched with envy. Flying, this kind of thing that violated the laws of physics, could only be done by Awakened level experts.
In the sky, Thunderbolt Gobzan was also floating. Under his feet, lightning patterns were extending. This was the reason why he could fly.
Even among some Boss level creatures, it was very rare to see a Beginner level Boss that could fly.
“You have some nerve, daring to openly attack our county. You deserve to die,” Yuan Zhen said coldly, standing in the void. The space behind him was constantly twisting, and terrifying auras of laws constantly spread out in all directions.
“Awakened level!”
Thunderbolt Gobzan’s pupils shrank suddenly. He had a bad feeling in his heart. The dungeon behind him quickly expanded, covering Yuan Zhen. At the same time, a bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, blasting forward.
He wanted to directly pull the opponent into the dungeon, so that he could suppress Yuan Zhen. Otherwise, with the huge level difference, he might be instantly annihilated with just one exchange.
“Childish tricks,” Yuan Zhen said with a cold look in his eyes. He lightly pointed, directly annihilating the lightning. Then he took a big step forward, and countless cyan blades flew out.
