Chapter 1367 Not One Less
“You used to be involved in the underworld?” Baili Pangpang asked tentatively.
Li Kengqiang held up one finger, waving it in front of him, and chuckled, “Things from the past, better left unsaid, better left unsaid… After all, who hasn’t had their reckless youth, right?”
Lin Qiye looked around and asked curiously,
“Li Si… Brother Gun, where are the other members of the [Hero Spirit] squad?”
“Oh~~right.” Li Kengqiang seemed to remember something, his voice stretching over several notes, the smile at the corners of his mouth growing more pronounced, “They asked me to tell you that they need to guard the national fortune and can’t get away, but you’ll have a chance to meet them later…”
As soon as Li Kengqiang finished speaking, he lowered his voice, pulled down his toad sunglasses slightly, and winked:
“However, I can secretly tell you that for decades we’ve been stuck guarding this place every day, bored out of our minds, almost going crazy… Can’t get away? That’s all bullshit!
Some of them are shy, some are putting on airs, too embarrassed to interact with you young successors, so they pushed me out to be your chief instructor,
but I bet they’re all in different places on this island right now, secretly watching us…”
Hearing this, everyone involuntarily looked around, their expressions somewhat strange.
“Anyway, welcome to the [Hero Spirit] base. In the coming days, I’ll be your chief instructor, leading your training.” Li Kengqiang waved away the magnificent old dance hall in front of them and pointed to a dark, lightless air raid shelter nearby,
“This is your dormitory.”
“Dormitory?!”
Baili Pangpang stared at the dilapidated space covered in cobwebs and mold, his eyes widening, “This place has no water, no electricity, no ventilation, not even a bed… how can anyone live here?”
Li Kengqiang replied nonchalantly, “We’re all hero spirits, we don’t need to sleep normally, so naturally no one maintains this place… For such minor issues, you’ll have to figure it out yourselves.”
With those words, Li Kengqiang, with one hand in his flared pants pocket, waved to everyone and instantly vanished.
Baili Pangpang: …
“This isn’t training, this is wilderness survival.” He sighed helplessly.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the dark air raid shelter, finally landing on An Qingyu, “Can you handle it?”
An Qingyu pondered for a moment, “Pangpang, I remember you kept quite a few ‘wild’ electrical appliances in your [Free Space], right?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Without another word, Baili Pangpang, as if performing a magic trick, poured out a pile of items from his pocket, including but not limited to a solar electromagnetic stove, fuel generator, 42-inch LCD TV, water heater, barbecue grill, electric massage chair…
Everyone seemed used to this scene, but when Baili Pangpang suddenly produced a brand new Mercedes G-Class, their mouths couldn’t help but twitch uncontrollably.
There was even a large red flower tied to the hood of the Mercedes G-Class.
“Wait, why are you carrying a car around?” Cao Yuan couldn’t help but criticize.
“It’s about learning from experience! Last time when we were in the Anta County primeval forest, how comfortable would it have been if we had a car.” Baili Pangpang smiled while stroking the rearview mirror, “So, I went back and had someone buy me a car, just in case.”
Seeing all the electrical appliances on the ground, An Qingyu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded,
“No problem… give me half an hour.”
In the next half hour, An Qingyu demonstrated to everyone through practical action what it means for “science to change life.”
Disassembling parts, quickly reconstructing, one device after another that others couldn’t understand continued to emerge from his hands. To increase the speed of modification, An Qingyu even grew two more arms, his gray eyes like the most precise instruments, analyzing every item in his hands without a trace of emotion.
A solar power generation system, a hydraulic backup power system, lighting system, ventilation system, smart home one-key interconnection…
Before long, the entire abandoned air raid shelter was transformed into a modern residence, filled with technology and impressive work everywhere you looked.
“That should do it.” An Qingyu looked at his creation with satisfaction and nodded.
Baili Pangpang, returning from his shock, suddenly gave An Qingyu a thumbs up.
“Qingyu, you’re awesome!”
…
Night deepened.
Under the hazy moonlight, the desolate island seemed covered in a silver veil.
In the barren open space, a bonfire blazed, making crisp crackling sounds. Five rocking chairs were arranged around the fire, surrounded by used barbecue equipment.
Baili Pangpang burped contentedly, lying in his rocking chair, looking at the stars in the sky, and peacefully closed his eyes.
“It’s been half a day since we arrived on the island, and except for Brother Gun’s brief appearance at the beginning, no one has come to check on us… if it weren’t for Pangpang bringing complete ingredients, we might have had to go to the sea by now,” Cao Yuan sighed, sitting nearby.
“Go to the sea? Who’s going to the sea?” Baili Pangpang quickly woke up.
“…I meant going to the sea to catch fish!”
“Oh.”
Baili Pangpang shrugged and lay back down.
“Seven, do you think the commanders are really watching us?”
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then shook his head, “I don’t know. The hero spirit commanders come and go like ghosts, and even my mental power perception can’t capture them… From what I can see, there are only the five of us on this island.”
“Perhaps after training begins tomorrow and we meet the commanders, things will improve,” An Qingyu said, “But I’m curious about what exactly the commanders want to teach us…”
“I’m curious too, but since it’s the commanders teaching, it shouldn’t be bad, right?”
“It’s a shame Jialan and Zhuai Ge aren’t here, this is a rare opportunity,” Baili Pangpang sighed.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Jialan was still okay, although currently asleep, she would wake up in a few months, so there was hope… But Shen Qingzhu was still missing, and they didn’t know where he had drifted with hell, whether he had absorbed that source essence, or… if he could even return.
The last time they returned from heaven and hell, the Heavenly Court had already sent people to find hell’s whereabouts, but there were still no results. The divine realm contaminated by theClone System God had gained the ability to move and conceal itself; they didn’t even know if hell was still on Earth.
“Don’t think too much, he’s Zhuai Ge after all. He’s survived so many life-and-death situations, he’ll definitely be fine.”
Lin Qiye picked up a can of beer beside him and faced the blazing fire, his face illuminated red, “[Night Curtain] squad will definitely have a day of reunion… not one missing.”
Clang—!
Everyone raised their beers and clinked them together above the bonfire.
“Not one missing!”
