175: Young and promising, should be like Shen Bei

"Satisfied after showing off for a bit, aren't you?"

At this moment, Shen Bei emerged from the bushes, carrying the Alien Leader, strutting proudly.

Every step he took was steady and heavy.

His back was ramrod straight, like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens and the earth's surface.

Meanwhile, the Four-person Group rolled their eyes.

The reason they said Shen Bei seemed alive but was already dead was entirely due to their discussion about the distribution of spoils on the way back.

After all, capturing over thirty prisoners alive, sharing them equally, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

The Alien Leader was the most valuable.

We, the Four-person Group, should also get a share of that glory, shouldn't we?

And the Black Bat's juvenile form, that's also a rather explosive existence, so we should all get a piece of that too.

There were also organs from various other creatures; we shouldn't have come on this trip for nothing, we should get at least a little something.

Qi Chuanyu proposed several plans, but Shen Bei rejected them all.

According to Shen Bei: "Honor is honor, spoils of war are spoils of war; they cannot be confused. One must be pragmatic, sincere, and not cheat."

This statement nearly made the Four-person Group faint from anger.

Good heavens.

When you cheat on exams, why don't you talk about being sincere?

Are these even words a human would say?

So, we're all just green leaves, meant to set off your red flower, huh?

However, the Four-person Group didn't delve deeper, as they truly weren't in a position to negotiate distribution with Shen Bei.

The few of them joked around, which didn't affect their camaraderie.

Of course, Shen Bei wasn't stingy; he would certainly give them what they deserved.

But they couldn't just reach out and ask for it directly.

Giving is giving, asking is asking; these are two different matters.

Because...

Many of the spoils of war were tied to tasks listed on the sign at the Qianjin Camp's entrance.

He had to activate the daily settlement panel first.

Otherwise, if he gave them away, he wouldn't be able to settle the panel, and that would be a huge loss.

...

At this moment, when Liu Hanfeng saw Shen Bei appear completely unharmed again, a hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

However, his emotions were quickly reignited by Shen Bei's presence.

Goal!

Shen Bei, that existence he looked up to, was still alive!

He had a goal to chase again!

His hands were tightly clenched, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

It was like Dugu Qiubai learning that there was still a stronger opponent in the world than himself.

Meanwhile, Iron Dome sighed.

He felt a little difficulty breathing.

Shen Bei, that monster-like pervert, was indeed still alive...

He had been too naive.

Considering that the four big idiots were still alive, how could the stronger Shen Bei possibly have died?

At this very moment.

The Martial Artists of the military looked at Shen Bei with increasing astonishment.

Not only was Shen Bei still alive, but he had captured over twenty Otherworlder prisoners!

This number... was truly shocking!

Even though they had already been numbed by Du Ziteng's feats.

But facing Shen Bei's overwhelming numbers, they were still filled with ecstasy, shock, and even disbelief.

"My goodness! Twenty, twenty prisoners!"

"This is a Da Shouzi!"

"They are only five people, and according to intelligence, there were over five hundred Otherworlder troops here! How did they do it?"

"It's truly incredible!"

"Wait a minute—what is Shen Bei carrying on his shoulder?"

Everyone's gaze once again turned to Shen Bei.

The officer looked closely, and his expression instantly became solemn and respectful, almost blurting out: "Looking at the attire... that's the Alien Leader!"

Boom!

As these words were uttered.

Everyone present felt as if their minds had been struck by lightning!

They all gasped in cold air.

Their eyeballs felt like they were bursting, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end, as if a heavy hammer had struck their skulls.

Everyone's eyes changed wildly, and they fell into a deathly silence.

They utterly refused to believe what they were seeing.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

"Yeah, we've never had a record of capturing an Alien Leader alive before."

"Is it really the Alien Leader? In the past, when we encountered Alien Leaders, they would rather die than surrender, fearless of death. Even if they knew they were going to be captured, they would commit suicide."

"This is strange. How could an Alien Leader surrender so obediently?"

"Exactly, there's never been such a precedent!"

...

Liu Hanfeng's face was filled with a look of shock, disbelief, and strangeness.

Capturing the Alien Leader alive.

This was absolutely an explosive feat!

Who wouldn't be bewildered, who wouldn't be shocked upon hearing this?

It was another record-breaking achievement!

Terrifying!

Shen Bei was truly too terrifying!

He felt that his own strength might be only slightly less than Shen Bei's.

But at this moment, he realized that in terms of combat experience and methods for capturing an opponent alive, he was far inferior to Shen Bei.

Liu Hanfeng simply couldn't understand how Shen Bei managed to capture the Alien Leader alive amidst over five hundred Otherworlders.

Let alone capturing him alive, even killing him wouldn't have been that easy, it was an unimaginable feat!

At this moment, the officer was incredibly excited, his eyes filled with exhilaration and satisfaction: "Quickly tell us, how did you capture the Alien Leader alive? And how is he so docile, not moving at all?"

Shen Bei's eyes, bright as stars, shone brilliantly as he laughed spiritedly: "Courage and wisdom are both indispensable. Naturally, it was..."

Shen Bei roughly explained the process: "That's pretty much it. I'm not bragging, but my IQ alone is two ounces more than all of yours combined."

The officer listened to Shen Bei's heroic tale, his face gradually contorting, his eyes forming expressions of terror and disbelief.

It was as if he was there, with a strong sense of immersion.

What a Martial Artist, daring to think and daring to act!

You're awesome, my old friend!

But the officer still waved his hand: "That... bragging can wait. What is Niu Liu Glue?"

Niu Yanben immediately jumped out: "Naturally, it's a miraculous tree sap that I discovered! And named after me, the location is—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Bei glared at him: "Shut your mouth!"

Niu Yanben said, "Ah? What's wrong? It's my turn to show off."

"Information is money."

"Oh, got it."

Niu Yanben's heart throbbed, his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, almost making a huge mistake.

He made a zipping motion over his mouth, remaining silent and speaking no more.

Meanwhile, Liu Hanfeng's astonished gaze gradually became hazy and dull.

If it were him, would he dare to ambush the Alien Leader underground?

The answer was definitely no.

This was the difference.

Iron Dome also listened with a pounding heart.

Although he also followed a close-quarters combat route, if he were asked to use Shen Bei's sneak attack tactics on the Alien Leader, he would definitely be scared to pee his pants.

Iron Dome looked at Shen Bei with immense apprehension.

And he gave Shen Bei a rating: lunatic!

At this moment, the officer was scratching his head in frustration: "What's so secretive about Niu Liu Glue?"

Shen Bei changed the subject, sighing softly, his voice hoarse: "Um... can we stop chatting? Please help, herd the prisoners. I'm so tired."

The others quickly stepped forward, took over the prisoners, and began returning to Qianjin Camp.

It was quite a proud and relaxed task.

Proud because, although the prisoners weren't captured by everyone, returning to Qianjin Camp would allow them to show off a bit.

This was called repeated bragging.

The Zha Tian Gang finished showing off; they had to learn this trick and go back to Qianjin Camp to show off!

Relaxed because, thanks to Miller's strategic positioning, the Otherworlder army had already been dealt with by Shen Bei in advance.

They returned safely, without losing a single soldier.

Explosive luck.

...

"I heard you killed a few Otherworlders and were showing off in Qianjin Camp?"

Shen Bei chatted with the military Martial Artists for a while.

He walked over to Liu Hanfeng and asked curiously.

Liu Hanfeng quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I just forgot I had them hanging on my waist for a moment. In front of you, I wouldn't dare to show off."

Shen Bei stroked his chin: "Actually, I just wanted to learn some bragging experience. You see, you hang them on your waist. If I also chop off a few prisoners, string them together, and hang them around my neck, wouldn't the visual impact be stronger?"

Liu Hanfeng: ...

"It's best..." Liu Hanfeng paused: "...to still follow the military's arrangements."

Shen Bei laughed heartily: "Are you that obedient? What about the military? These are my spoils of war; how I choose to deal with them is none of anyone else's business!"

"The living should be more valuable than the dead." Liu Hanfeng offered a suggestion.

Shen Bei suddenly understood, giving a thumbs up: "I think following the military's arrangements is a very wise choice!"

Liu Hanfeng: ...

Damn, your stance changes more smoothly than a woman on a blind date.

Not long after.

The group returned to Qianjin Camp.

Their speed was so fast.

It even stunned Miller, who was commanding the operation.

"Your combat speed..." Miller gasped: "And you captured so many prisoners?"

The officer didn't answer directly: "We escorted them back."

Miller: ???

Shen Bei really couldn't stand it anymore.

Stop pretending, everyone.

Let's just move on to the next step.

After the truth came out.

Miller looked at Shen Bei with a stunned expression: "A Third-Rank Martial Artist... capturing a Fifth-Rank Alien Leader alive, unheard of!"

All the other officers' expressions changed dramatically, their eyelids twitching slightly, all flashing with awe and even a trace of deeply hidden jealousy.

They started discussing animatedly.

"Young and accomplished!"

"Keep an eye on this kid; after graduation, he must be recruited into the military."

"Holy cow, this young man, holy cow..."

"Courageous, passionate, and bold."

"So dazzling..."

...

Miller simply arranged the prisoner reception work.

He told Shen Bei and the others to go back and rest, and continued to direct the front-line combat.

"I'll find you later." Miller waved his hand.

For the prisoners, although nominally belonging to the Zha Tian Gang.

The military would absolutely not allow the Zha Tian Gang to take them back to the earth's surface.

They would be converted into rewards.

But at this time, the front line was still in combat, so these accounts would have to wait until after the battle to be settled.

This Otherworlder attack was purely because they discovered many human rookies entering the underground caves.

They just wanted to take the opportunity to capture a few more.

This led to the full-scale advance of the underground Otherworlders, setting up a posture to attack Qianjin Camp.

And surprisingly, they really couldn't catch more than thirty student Martial Artists.

This also included the unlucky General Training Instructor Cheng Liaoyuan...

But after Qianjin Camp organized an effective resistance, the two sides fought for less than an hour.

The Otherworlder army then began to retreat.

The military and student Martial Artists also began to return to Qianjin Camp.

...

At this moment, the Zha Tian Gang had just finished a hearty meal.

They squatted to one side, counting their spoils of war.

Shen Bei stroked his chin and said, "I have a task for you all."

Zha Tian Gang: ???
