85: I'm afraid, I'm afraid there aren't enough monsters.

"Captain, it's not a demonic beast, it's a human!"

A member of the Demon Slaying Army returned and reported.

The captain was astonished: "Are you sure this is a driving skill a human can pull off?"

"Yes, it really is a human."

"...Let them through."

The checkpoint opened, and the Wuling Hongguang swerved in with an S-curve.

The car door opened, and a figure tumbled out. The man was covered in blood, and crucially, he was missing an arm. He looked miserable, wriggling forward like a caterpillar, vomiting while trembling as he reached out a hand.

"Save... save me..."

The group of Demon Slaying Army members who had rushed over were stunned.

Was this... a hostage situation?

At this moment, Fang Bai also stepped out of the driver's seat.

This guy was still muttering to himself: "This car handles pretty well, that was really thrilling."

"Don't move!"

The group of Demon Slaying Army members immediately surrounded Fang Bai.

Fang Bai was taken aback, then he spoke up: "Friendly fire, friendly fire, haha!"

A Middle-aged Man walked over, his shoulder insignia bearing four stars.

"I am Four-Star Demon Slaying General Xue Tie. Please state your identities."

Fang Bai took out a student ID from his space ring and tossed it to the other party.

Xue Tie caught it with one hand and examined it carefully. Upon seeing that Fang Bai was a student from the Martial Arts Academy, his expression immediately softened.

"So you are a student from the Martial Arts Academy. And that person is..."

Fang Bai said: "My teacher."

Xue Tie waved his hand, ordering people to take Old Qin away on a stretcher.

"We will do our best to treat him. As for you, please come with me. Apologies, but because this is a special period, even with identification, we must verify further."

Fang Bai did not refuse.

After Old Qin received treatment, Fang Bai was able to set his mind at ease.

He followed Xue Tie into a tent.

Inside sat several Middle-aged Men, each of them a high-ranking officer of at least the rank of Four-Star Demon Slaying General.

"Is this the intruder the outpost mentioned?"

One of the bearded men examined Fang Bai with curiosity.

Xue Tie handed them Fang Bai's student ID and said: "He is from the Martial Arts Academy."

"Second Year Student? Fang Bai?"

The bearded man muttered to himself.

"It has been verified; this person exists."

An adjutant behind him spoke up.

As soon as Fang Bai stepped into the base, his information had already been pulled up.

Hearing this, the bearded man looked at Fang Bai and smiled: "Apologies. I am the commander of this shelter, Zhao Ji. You can just... sit?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Bai had already sat down as if he were at home, asking: "By the way, do you have anything to eat?"

"..."

The several Demon Slaying Generals in the room looked at each other, their expressions somewhat strange.

Seriously, do you have social superman syndrome?

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, then said to the adjutant: "Have someone bring a portion over."

Afterwards, Zhao Ji looked at Fang Bai and said: "Can you tell us about your experience this time?"

Fang Bai said: "You should be able to find that out yourselves."

Xue Tie said: "We are just curious. The area you came from, as far as we know, is swarming with no less than two hundred demonic beasts! Among them is one Sixth-Rank Demon Beast and six Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts. As a Second Year Student, how did you manage to cross the disaster zone with a wounded person?"

Fang Bai said in surprise: "I just drove over! As for the Sixth-Rank Demon Beast you mentioned, I didn't run into it."

Hearing this, the group immediately frowned.

Xue Tie said seriously: "How can that be? Is the intelligence wrong?"

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Impossible, our equipment couldn't be faulty!"

"The Fourth Squad has already encountered a pack of demonic beasts just as expected, which means the intelligence is correct."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent turned serious.

Fang Bai didn't really feel anything about this. As for demonic beasts, the more the merrier; he was worried he wouldn't find enough to kill.

Soon, the food arrived. Zhao Ji said to Xue Tie: "Old Xue, you stay behind. Everyone else, let's have a meeting!"

Xue Tie nodded.

Soon, only Fang Bai and Xue Tie remained in the tent.

Watching Fang Bai wolf down his food, Xue Tie couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you really a Second Year Student from the Martial Arts Academy?"

Fang Bai looked up: "Is there a problem?"

Xue Tie hesitated for a moment and said: "Regarding the invasion from the Alien Space, aren't you... afraid?"

In their impression, a Second Year Student from the Martial Arts Academy was nothing more than a rookie who hadn't experienced real combat. Facing a war like this, they shouldn't be as calm as Fang Bai.

"Afraid? I am indeed afraid."

Afraid there aren't enough demonic beasts.

Fang Bai suddenly asked: "By the way, haven't you encountered any demonic beast attacks here?"

Xue Tie nodded: "Of course we have. Those beasts attack at least five or six times a day, but they have all been repelled. There are now specialized squads clearing out the nearby demonic beasts."

Fang Bai's eyes lit up: "Can I join you?"

Xue Tie raised an eyebrow and said: "You... you'd better forget it. The danger level of this disaster is too high. Even for us in the Demon Slaying Army, the probability of death is extremely high, let alone a Second Year Student kid like you."

Fang Bai's mouth twitched: "Actually, I'm quite strong."

Xue Tie smiled faintly: "The person with you is named Qin Zhong, a retired Wall Defender and a former Fourth-Rank martial artist. I suspect the reason he was injured was because he was protecting you, right?"

"..."

Fang Bai didn't know what to say for a moment.

After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Bai wandered around the base.

There were many Demon Slaying Army members patrolling here. Everyone could move freely within the base, though, of course, no one had any thoughts of taking a stroll right now.

Fang Bai found the tent where Old Qin was.

The latter was lying on a stretcher, his wounds bandaged, looking like a rice dumpling.

Seeing Fang Bai arrive, Old Qin raised an eyebrow: "Got interrogated?"

Fang Bai nodded.

Old Qin comforted him: "It's normal. You haven't experienced more extreme times. On the other side of the wall, you have to report your real-time status every day, and the password changes daily, because some demonic beasts can disguise themselves as humans to blend in..."

Fang Bai sat opposite Old Qin and suddenly asked curiously: "Old Qin, what kind of world is it on the other side of the wall?"

He had heard of the existence of the wall a long time ago, and his parents had been guarding it for over a decade. He was very curious about the wall.

A complex look appeared in Old Qin's eyes as he said: "It is just a wall, a wall stained red with blood. To be precise, it is the root of the human race. If the wall stands, the human race stands! If the wall falls, the human race..."

"You will have a chance to see it in the future. I hope that when that time comes, you won't be shouting about running away."

Fang Bai: "..."

He didn't have any grand sense of human righteousness right now. For someone as weak as himself, self-preservation was the most important thing.

If the sky falls, let the tall ones hold it up. He just needed to continue developing stealthily.

"By the way, it's not safe here either. How is your condition?"

Fang Bai suddenly thought of the conversation with Zhao Ji and the others, and suddenly said.

Old Qin glanced at his severed arm and said: "I can still fight."

Fang Bai rolled his eyes: "Give it a rest. A patient like you should just obediently follow the main group and evacuate."

"Evacuate?"

Old Qin was taken aback.

"If nothing goes wrong, something is about to go wrong."

No sooner had Fang Bai finished speaking than a sharp whistle sounded.
