566: Chapter 564 Fighter Jet Repair, Hunt Begins

"Sister Chan, please stop joking with him."

Qin Qing walked over. She didn't look well, but her eyes were very bright. When she looked at Chu Xuan, her cold gaze softened a bit.

Chu Xuan realized that Qin Qing had reached level 10. Since killing the Night Demon, she seemed to have unraveled some kind of knot in her heart; her entire demeanor was no longer that 'keep strangers away' type.

Zhao Hongchan said solemnly, "I'm not joking. He is my baby's surrogate father..."

Chu Xuan smiled and didn't speak.

Although not much time had passed, looking at these familiar people now, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel as if a lifetime had passed.

"Chu Xuan, long time no see." Luo Xiaotian came over to say hello. "Uncle Qiang just contacted me. We owe this to you."

"Chu Xuan, you're finally back!" The tall and sturdy Hong Wei walked over. His whole body looked like a pitch-black piece of iron, but it was uneven, as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer many times.

He said with emotion, "I remember saying back then that I could turn my whole body into steel and act as a shield for you in critical moments. I didn't expect you to become so strong in such a short time that you wouldn't need me at all."

More and more people gathered around. There were many familiar faces, as well as strangers.

Those former interns had all grown into official members, and their strength was improving rapidly.

In the current environment, it was as if a blade hung over everyone's head. They could only keep moving forward. Most of those who were still alive had experienced life-and-death baptisms more than once.

The battle here had ended, and people began to treat the wounded. Healing-type Transcendent like Su Qiaoqiao were busy non-stop, treating the critically injured and dying, not seeking full recovery, but merely to save their lives first.

Chu Xuan saw Wang Ruozi in the crowd. The little girl who was rescued from Yinshan Village was no longer shy or timid.

She wore a white lab coat, her movements clean and efficient. She led a group of researchers running over, either pushing simple recovery pods to transfer and treat the wounded or taking out injections to administer life potions.

In her haste, she glanced back at Chu Xuan. Her almond-shaped eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up. It was as if she had many grievances she wanted to share, but she stopped herself.

However, after closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, her expression turned determined again. She didn't come over to say a word and continued to be busy.

Among these researchers, Chu Xuan also saw an Old Woman with a hunched figure.

Her cheeks were no longer sunken as before but were much rosier and glossier. However, her eyes remained cloudy, and her voice was as hoarse as ever.

She seemed to be performing magic; from time to time, she would bring out a bowl of white porridge from her hands and pass it to the wounded, calling out "My child," "My child."

Suddenly, she seemed to notice Chu Xuan's gaze. She turned her head, walked tremblingly through the crowd, and held out a bowl of steaming white porridge with both hands:

"My child, eat..."

A faint gleam flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes.

Li Guifen's various attributes had grown, especially her spirit attribute, which had reached 30 points. But she still looked mentally confused.

"Sealed herself off..." With Chu Xuan's current discernment, he could see some clues. He could even forcibly wake her up and reverse her cognition through Heart Bewitchment.

However, there was no need for that.

This was Li Guifen's own choice. If she had the will to wake up, she could easily do so. The reason she was still like this was that she was unwilling to face the cruel reality.

Chu Xuan took the white porridge. The System prompted that its effect was much stronger than before, but it was only effective for those below level 8. However, after he drank it all, he felt a warm sensation.

At this moment, the two people who flew out of the flames with Zhao Hongchan finally spoke.

"Hello Chu Xuan, my name is Ren Liang."

"My name is Xue Ping. We both just returned from Cangyun World not long ago, but we have long admired your name. We are very happy to see you at this critical moment."

These two young men didn't look old, perhaps under twenty. They were still wounded, with less than 40% health points remaining, but they were full of energy, their backs straight like sharp swords.

"Captain-General Yang once said that once this mission is completed, we can soon launch a counterattack on Cangyun World..." Xue Ping said unhurriedly:

"Although I don't know what we need to do given our world's overall lagging strength, since Captain-General Yang said so, there must be no problem. Perhaps it is like the Path of Salvation tasks in various worlds, to obtain the World Source."

Ren Liang nodded and said, "Regardless, the top priority is to quickly eliminate the remaining invaders and completely cut off the possibility of them invading again. Time is running out... Those of us who still have combat power can allocate tasks and go kill the remaining people."

Chu Xuan looked back at the two. They were both level 12 Transcendents, not weak. At least their tone of voice gave the impression that they were much more reliable than those left in Cangyun World.

"You guys rest here. Leave the task to me."

Chu Xuan asked everyone to disperse, leaving a small open space. Then he took out the white emperor fighter and called over Tan Ziming, who had just been treated by Su Qiaoqiao, to ask how long it would take to repair the fighter.

"This..." Tan Ziming stepped forward and touched the fuselage. After a moment, he pondered, "Although this fighter is not a Transcendent item, it is too large. It is no problem to repair it as soon as possible, but it may require quite a bit of spirituality value."

"3000 spirituality value, is that enough?" Chu Xuan took out three spirit beads, filled them with spirituality value, and handed them to Tan Ziming.

"No, no, at most 600 points is enough." Tan Ziming waved his hands repeatedly: "Boss Chu, I have already received many benefits from you. It is only right for me to help you do some work. I have more than 100 points of spirituality value myself. You only need to give me another 500 points."

"I never treat those who do things for me unfairly." Chu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Help me finish the repairs. Not only must it be fixed, but it must be fast. Don't worry about the spirituality value."

"Okay, thank you Boss Chu, then I won't be polite. If I spare no cost and spend about 800 points of spirituality value, I can guarantee it will be done in at most 1 minute!"

Tan Ziming grinned, stopped declining, absorbed the spirituality, and then his hands emitted a faint light to begin repairing the white emperor fighter.

Only 50 seconds passed, less than a minute, and the white emperor fighter, which was originally full of dents and cracks on the windshield, was completely repaired and looked brand new.

"Exceeded the budget a bit, it took more than 1100 spirituality value to complete..."

Tan Ziming wiped the sweat from his forehead: "If I can successfully rank up, this repair ability will be even stronger. By then, not only will the repair speed increase, but the consumed spirituality value will also be less, and perhaps I can even improve the quality."

"Then you have to hurry up. Keep the remaining spirituality value as a reward."

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, entered the cockpit of the white emperor fighter, and after operating it, he found that all the fault lights were off, and even the energy storage battery, which was almost scrapped, had resumed function.

"Tell everyone, don't actively hunt the invaders from Cangyun World. The gap in strength is too big. Transcendents who haven't ranked up will just be sending themselves to death if they encounter them. Even those who have just ranked up, if they don't have enough foundation, will also die if they encounter them."

Chu Xuan's gaze swept over the crowd below, his eyes calm and confident: "From now on, just leave everything to me."

"Wait, don't rush." Zhao Hongchan reminded: "Although you are strong enough, it is better to be cautious. We have some findings here that can obtain soul crystals, but you need to go there yourself. You can improve your strength first..."

"It won't be too late to improve when I come back."

Hearing that he could obtain soul crystals, Chu Xuan was naturally moved. However, his strength was already sufficient. To avoid further complications, the most important thing was to complete the mission first.

After speaking, Chu Xuan started the white emperor fighter. He first went to the nearby Air Force Base to fill the main and auxiliary fuel tanks with special fuel, and spent spirituality value to certify a large amount of fuel into his Exclusive Space.

Everything was ready. Chu Xuan opened the System map, looked at the flashing red positioning dots on it, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up:

"The roles of attacker and defender have reversed. Hunting begins!"
