99: Back to Lethero
"What's happening to me? Hmm, but it feels so comfortable, like my whole body is clear!" Wei He marveled at how miraculous this blood sun ginseng was; he, who had been struggling to move just moments ago, had now fully recovered and even felt more powerful than before.
He walked back and forth in front of everyone with a light, swift step.
He performed exaggerated backflips; he had never been able to do one before, but now, with his body brimming with strength, any movement seemed simple to him.
"Congratulations! You are now an Entry Level Ability User!" Neme said to Wei He with a smile, looking very happy for him.
"Is this medicine really that miraculous? I've already reached Entry Level in just this short while?" Wei He could hardly believe it. When he had been practicing on his own, the results were negligible, and he had estimated it would take a long time to become an Entry Level Ability User.
"Wow, Wu Yidan, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing. How did you end up here?" Wei He said excitedly, looking at Wu Yidan.
"Oh, benefactor, when I tried to leave the city, they said the gates were closed and under lockdown. I wanted to try another gate, but when I reached the south gate, I found there wasn't a single guard there. People were coming and going freely, so I just ran out with them! And then I met you here, benefactor!" Wu Yidan's eyebrows shot up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop curling upward; he spoke with a smile in his voice.
"My name is Wei He, stop calling me benefactor. So, what are your plans next? Do you want to come back with me?" Wei He felt he was lacking someone who could identify rare treasures; since these treasures could help him level up quickly, why bother with such arduous cultivation?
"No, I want to go out and make a way for myself. I never want to work for others again; I want to be a man of integrity!" As Wu Yidan spoke, his eyes became determined.
"Alright, since everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force you! Farewell then! I still have some unfinished business!" After Wei He finished speaking, he pointed toward the city. Wu Yidan nodded understandingly and, after saying his goodbyes, set off on his journey alone.
At this moment, Gavin stood atop the city wall, looking down in terror at the iron boxes below. He shouted to the demon soldiers beside him, "Quick, quick, call for reinforcements from headquarters! Tell them we are under attack by Demon God-level monsters! Go, now!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the demon soldier ran quickly down the city tower.
Just as the messenger demon soldier galloped away from the north gate on horseback, the Radiation Engineer also received Wei He's command and stepped out of the multifunctional infantry vehicle.
Gavin looked doubtfully at the two strange people stepping out of the iron boxes and shouted, "What is your business here, you two? Is there some misunderstanding? I've never met you before!"
The Radiation Engineer ignored Gavin's shouting and only said a baffling sentence: "Let's make an oasis of death!"
Then, the two Radiation Engineers aimed their radiation cannons at the ground and sat directly on the earth. Green radiation ripples began to spread rapidly across the ground; in an instant, a green radiation field with a radius of 6,000 meters was formed, centered on the Radiation Engineers.
The moment the green radiation field formed, all living creatures within it turned into green pus, including Gavin on the city wall. The green radiation ripples also spread up the wall to the city tower.
The troops stationed within 6,000 meters of the city gate were mostly demon soldiers responsible for defending against external enemies. Wei He had already understood this through his Gods Eye View, so he directly ordered the Radiation Engineers to eliminate them.
Of course, there were other demon soldiers in the city who weren't eliminated, but the maximum attack radius of the Radiation Engineers' green radiation field was only 6,000 meters.
After resolving all this, the multifunctional infantry vehicle responsible for luring Henry away finally rendezvoused with Wei He. After recalling the Radiation Engineers and the multifunctional infantry vehicle, the chronosphere's cooldown was finally complete.
While Wei He was happy about his level increase, he was also debating whether to take Neme back to Nanshan Town and use the Militia Training Center to train her. This way, the red alert system could help her recover from her injuries, and she could even upgrade to a middle-rank Magister. The only downside was that she was a Great General of the Magic Empire—wouldn't that be helping the enemy increase their strength?
Wei He stood beside the anti-air tracked vehicle and asked the system, "System, can non-red alert units enter the training center for training?"
"Non-red alert units cannot enter the training center for training. However, you can use Yuri to control her and turn her into a red alert unit, then enter the training center to begin training!" The system's mechanical voice rang out.
Upon hearing the system's reply, Wei He began to hesitate again. If he used Yuri to control her, she would become a puppet and no longer be a living human being.
"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Neme's voice pulled Wei He out of his messy thoughts.
"Ah, I was thinking about where I can go to get you healed," Wei He said naturally.
"Let's go back first. It's a long journey. Although your puppet beasts (multifunctional infantry vehicles) are very powerful and run fast, we should get on the road as soon as possible," Neme said calmly to Wei He.
"I have a way to get back very quickly. If we are to treat your injuries, where would you most like to go?" Wei He said, acting mysterious.
"To the capital, of course. If we were in Laiseluo City, there would be Light Mages who could treat my injuries. But this place is more than a thousand miles from Laiseluo City; how could we possibly get back?" Neme said, her eyes dimming.
"Good, get in the vehicle!" Wei He said excitedly.
"Get in? Oh, so this puppet beast is called a 'vehicle'? How interesting!" Neme followed Wei He onto the anti-air tracked vehicle.
Once everyone had entered the armored vehicles, Wei He activated the chronosphere. When the blue ripples enveloped the dozen or so armored vehicles, Neme's pupils instantly dilated.
"The Lord's subordinates are indeed full of talented and extraordinary individuals!" Sensing the powerful spatial energy around her and seeing the calm expression on Wei He's face, Neme instantly understood what was happening. This Wei He was truly not simple.
"Alright, let's go, let's get out!" Wei He said with a grin, being the first to open the door and step down.
"Get out? Didn't we just get in? What's the matter now?" Just as Neme finished speaking, she saw from the vehicle door that the scenery outside was actually different.
"Where is this?" Neme stepped out of the vehicle and looked at the strange building in front of her. There was even a statue of a person on top, holding a strange weapon in the left hand that looked very much like a Bozi Youning weapon but slightly different, with the right arm held across the chest. It was the Su Army Barracks.
"This is the Lords Mansion. You are currently in Laiseluo City!" Wei He looked at Neme and said triumphantly.
"Ah, really?" Neme looked at the other buildings around; they did indeed look like the style of Laiseluo City. Then her expression turned grim as she said, "How did we come back just like that? I haven't reported to His Majesty yet. Returning to the capital without permission—what will happen if His Majesty finds out?"
"You just don't let him know. Hurry up and find a Light Mage. After the treatment, we can return to the Kodo Beast Outpost immediately!" Wei He said naively.
