Chapter 1426 Reinforcements at the Pass
This heavy rain poured all night.
Wuquan also silently watched by the side all night.
He witnessed Old Dog Wu gulping down white liquor one mouthful after another, saw him chatting animatedly with those seven cold corpses, watched him punch the helipad and create hideous cracks, saw him break down crying in the heavy rain, and observed him sitting rigidly on that chair like a soulless statue until dawn…
The rain had gradually stopped, but the faint light of dawn still couldn’t penetrate the thick dark clouds, leaving the world between heaven and earth extremely gloomy.
Raindrops dripped along the edges of the tarpaulin, the dishes on the table had grown cold, and Old Dog Wu, who had been sitting silently on the stool, finally slowly regained his senses and stood up unsteadily…
“The banquet is over…”
Old Dog Wu looked at the barely touched food on the table and murmured, “We should set off now.”
Squeak—
Several stools were pushed back, and seven corpses slowly rose, their tattered black cloaks swaying in the gentle breeze.
Old Dog Wu turned and walked out from under the simple tarpaulin, with seven figures following closely behind. The mirror-like water surface reflected their black shadows and those pale faces.
Dr. Li, wearing a white coat, walked out from the Abstinence Facility.
He first glanced at Wuquan beside him, then looked at Old Dog Wu with his bloodshot eyes and spoke with complexity:
“You’re leaving now?”
“Yes.” Old Dog Wu replied calmly, “The situation at Chennan Gate is still tense. We can’t waste time here.”
“Wu Tongxuan, are you… really ready?”
Old Dog Wu quietly gazed at Dr. Li without speaking. He simply closed his eyes slowly.
In the next moment, a human ceiling-level pressure suddenly descended!
Wuquan felt the terrifying force pressing on his shoulders and his pupils slightly contracted. He never imagined that this seemingly insane and unremarkable mental patient had unknowingly reached this level!
Sensing Old Dog Wu’s aura, Dr. Li’s expression relaxed somewhat.
“When did you break through?”
“Six months ago, I already crossed the threshold.” Old Dog Wu looked back at the flimsy tarpaulin swaying in the wind. “Last night, I broke through the ‘heart barrier’…”
Dr. Li nodded, instinctively wanting to offer congratulations, but ultimately held back.
“I’ve brought your things.”
Dr. Li took out a black box from behind him and handed it to Old Dog Wu.
“When you first came to this hospital, I had them kept safe. All these years, I’ve been waiting for the day to return them to you.”
Old Dog Wu opened the box to find a straight knife, an emblem, and a neatly folded black cloak quietly arranged inside.
“…Thank you.”
Old Dog Wu looked at these three items, his eyes showing nostalgia.
He put away the emblem, hung the straight knife at his waist, and with a light wave, the black cloak floated onto his blue and white striped hospital gown.
With these three items on, Old Dog Wu’s back immediately straightened. His previously messy and lazy demeanor disappeared, and his eyes shone bright as stars.
As if remembering something, he asked Dr. Li: “Aren’t you coming with us?”
“Me?” Dr. Li smiled and shook his head. “I’m just a doctor. How could I go to the frontlines?”
Old Dog Wu narrowed his eyes and gave him a strange look, seemingly not believing his words.
“How will you travel? Do you need me to call a helicopter for you?”
“…No need.”
Old Dog Wu shook his head. Among the seven shadows behind him, one slowly raised both hands, and a violent whirlwind gathered beneath their feet, quickly lifting them into the air!
Old Dog Wu’s black cloak fluttered loudly under the dark clouds. He looked back one last time at Dr. Li and the Abstinence Facility where he had spent several years, and calmly said:
“We’re leaving.”
Whoosh—!!
Eight black figures rode the whirlwind, their forms darting away, disappearing at the horizon in the blink of an eye!
Dr. Li watched their departing figures, sighed deeply, and turned to walk back into the Abstinence Facility.
After taking just a few steps, he turned his head toward the figure in the corner and said:
“Aren’t you coming? Do you want to escape too?”
Wuquan came to his senses and gave him a somewhat speechless look before quickly following.
As the heavy metal door slowly closed, this isolated Abstinence Facility once again fell into complete silence.
…
“Rustle rustle rustle…”
“This is Chennan Gate Defense Line 4! Those lizards have launched a new round of attacks! Requesting reinforcements!”
“Defense Line 3 received, a heavy firepower unit has been dispatched!”
“This is Defense Line 5, we have no spare personnel, but Mr. Lu has received the message and is heading that way.”
“Defense Line 2 is also short-handed… The Night Watchers stationed here were all sacrificed at the very beginning. When will reinforcements from other passes arrive?”
“This is Jialin Gate, all our Night Watchers have assembled and are about to rush to aid Chennan Gate.”
“This is Chenlong Gate, our first batch of Night Watcher squads has already departed…”
“This is Xuehan Gate…”
The roar of helicopter rotors echoed across the helipad as eighteen figures wearing dark red cloaks and carrying black cases quickly gathered in the cabin despite the strong winds.
This is Jialin Gate, an A-class war pass more than 600 kilometers from Chennan Gate.
As the last Night Watcher rushed into the cabin, the helicopter slowly rose, carrying everyone rapidly toward Chennan Gate. On many other helipads between the inner and outer walls, aircraft loaded with heavy thermal weapons were taking off one after another.
Hongying settled in her seat and looked through the window at Jialin Gate gradually receding below, her eyes full of concern.
“What are you thinking about?” Wen Qimo, sitting beside her, asked.
“I’m wondering… how things are at Chennan Gate.” Hongying sighed deeply. “I heard them say that all the gods from the Indian Temple of Gods have descended upon Chennan Gate, and all the stationed Night Watchers have been sacrificed… I don’t know how much longer they can hold out.”
“Don’t worry too much, it will be fine.” Wen Qimo comforted her. “The Great Xia Gods have already rushed over, and many human ceiling-level experts are there. Even if they caught us off guard at first, as long as we buy a little more time, the initiative will definitely return to our hands… Don’t forget, this is Great Xia. We have the home-field advantage.”
“He’s right.” A young woman carrying a large black case sitting across from them nodded. “Before boarding the plane, I heard encrypted channel messages that the situation there has temporarily stabilized. The Great Xia Gods have withstood the first wave from the Temple of Gods, and those above god-level are basically being pinned down by the Heavenly Court, making it difficult for them to break through the Heavenly Court’s defense line.
The main problem now is that Chennan Gate has suffered severe personnel losses and is struggling against some of the more numerous divine beasts. However, once reinforcements from other passes continuously arrive, the situation should improve.”
After hearing her analysis, Hongying nodded, “That’s good… By the way, you look a bit unfamiliar…”
“I was transferred from Chenlong Gate a few days ago.” The young woman extended her hand straightforwardly. “My name is Moli.”
