Chapter 1362: 957 Chapter: Invitation (4K)_2

"Yanyun, that Transcendent with the surname Li..." The Transcendent pondered. However, his response was, "Thank you, Brother Li. My name is Zhang Shang."

Despite some lingering doubts, the Transcendent suggested that Li Changhe join them on their journey to their giant city, Border City.

The overly smooth proceedings only served to raise Li Changhe’s suspicions. Of course, he intended to infiltrate the giant city.

But now, with his face still covered and his identity in question, why would they invite him? How could they dare?

After a few seconds of hesitation, Li Changhe also nodded slightly in agreement.

Subsequently, the captain, the Transcendent, and Li Changhe had a short discussion before going to prepare supplies. They planned to reorganize swiftly and then head to the giant city posthaste.

It was then that the captain asked, "Old Zhang, why did you suddenly invite him? You should know the tricks of the Chaos believers!"

"He is definitely a Transcendent. And a very strong one at that!" Zhang Shang replied, "I can’t even tell what kind of Transcendent he is. But... I have some speculations. As for the Chaos believers, are we in Border City afraid of Chaos corruption? We’ll just keep an eye on it when the time comes."

The elite soldiers of Border City could always embrace Chaos, using its power to fight against the Different Race on the battlefield. And there was also the Eternal Army...

The captain thought about it and indeed, unlike other giant cities, Border City was an exception.

For the sake of gaining an edge in war and securing the logistics of the fleet, the strength of Border City could probably be ranked in the top five among all giant cities.

"That’s true... but how strong is he? Stronger than you?" The captain frowned. As an old teammate, he had known Zhang Shang for a long time. Throughout the years of cooperation since the war began, he was well aware of his strength. From a Yellow-level Transcendent at the beginning to a Profound-level Transcendent now, his power had made many teams envious, with no shortage of attempts to lure him away.

"It took me ten years to reach the Profound Level, yet I have no chance of winning against him. I suspect he is an Earth Level Transcendent. Or even higher!" Zhang Shang spoke.

"Earth Level? Even Heaven Level?" the squad captain frowned, obviously having severely underestimated Li Changhe’s capabilities previously, "Doesn’t that mean he is qualified to join the fleet’s marine corps?"

Zhang Shang said, "Moreover, he is a rare type of Transcendent. If he is willing to come to the giant city, he can not only strengthen the city’s defenses but we can also attempt to develop his Extraordinary Cause and Effect, which might add another option for Transcendents."

He had previously seen the image of the General and was speculating whether Li Changhe was an Extraordinary Soldier Transcendent.

Though different from the recorded Extraordinary Soldier, he still wanted to invite Li Changhe to the giant city. Perhaps the Extraordinary Association could research the Soldier Karma, enriching the means to combat the Different Race.

"Moreover, he said he comes from Yanyun... We have many survivors from Yanyun in Border City. Perhaps, some people recognize him."

Meanwhile, Li Changhe also overheard this conversation, not that he had intended to eavesdrop, but his Physique Attribute was so high that he inadvertently caught their whispers.

On hearing about the marine corps of the fleet, Li Changhe couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Earth Level and even Heaven-level Transcendents are qualified to join the marine corps of the fleet? This was rather shocking. Has the Transcendents’ system of this world already advanced to having multiple Earth Level and even Heaven-level Transcendents?

"If that is the case, then ’you’ in this world are very likely to be among the fleet they spoke of," Yun Ting reminded him, "If you haven’t been altered by the Three Corpses God as I speculated earlier, you would inevitably grow into an extremely strong Transcendent."

Indeed, during the Task of River Ghost, Li Changhe had seen a version of himself whose fate had not been altered. Indeed, a Heavenly Pride, who shot and killed the Yinhu of the Tianyan Association at the age of fifteen, he possessed great natural talent. Although he still had bronchitis, his innate gift was undeniable.

"You still seem to be quite interesting," Yun Ting chuckled, "Even with a changed fate, you still got caught by the young girl. How about we make a bet to see if ’you’ in this world is afraid of his wife?"

"The premise is that ’I’ survived the Yanyun war in this world..." Li Changhe responded in his heart to Yun Ting, "They mentioned that the giant city has many people from Yanyun. Perhaps, I could inquire from them... No, the information is right here."

At the moment, Li Changhe was sitting alone in the back seat of an armored vehicle, while other human warriors observed him. They all kept a certain distance and were the first not to respond. Clearly, in their hearts, they remained cautious of Li Changhe. This was normal behavior.

After all, inviting Li Changhe was a big gamble for the Transcendents.

Which normal person would dare invite a scavenger whose background is unknown? However, Li Changhe did save their comrade. So, despite their suspicions, they harbored no hostility toward Li Changhe and even prepared some food for him.

It was the sniper Old Zhao who approached Li Changhe first. He handed Li Changhe a portion of military rations and some boiling water, then sat down beside Li Changhe and said, "Old Xu’s life is saved. But his legs are not looking good. If we can’t find a way to fix them after we get back to the giant city, he’ll have to retire."

"Surviving is what matters, rare to meet a fellow townsman from Yanyun. Wouldn’t be good for you to die just like that," Li Changhe replied, and started to eat the rations.

Watching the food disappear into the black fog of the hood, Old Zhao nodded slightly, then asked, "I’m also from Yanyun. Which district are you from?"

"From Lingjiang District. Graduated from Yanyun Middle School. How about you?" Li Changhe inquired, clearly aware of where Zhao Qianhui was from.

"It seems we may have met. I’m from Lingjiang District too, and also went to Yanyun Middle School." Old Zhao smiled and said, "No wonder, I had this feeling of familiarity. We might have indeed met. I haven’t graduated, so I guess I should call you senior."

"It’s a pity Yanyun is gone. I was in Magic City when it happened, I could see the huge mushroom cloud. Then I lost contact with all my friends and family. Eventually, I ended up as a scavenger after much wandering," Li Changhe responded half truthfully, "It really is rare to meet fellow townspeople like you."

At that moment, Yun Ting’s powers were quietly activated, beginning to peek into Zhao Qianhui’s memories.

Guided by Li Changhe, Zhao Qianhui indeed began to recall that tragic battle.

A deep sigh: "Nearly a decade has passed, but I still can’t forget. War came so suddenly that day. I remember I was still in school, listening to my desk mate babble on."

"Umm, bro, that babbling desk mate seems to be you," Yun Ting complained in her mind.

Through the memories she was observing, she saw the Li Changhe of this world. Though not a sports recruit, he was still Old Zhao’s desk mate, just as talkative.

Li Changhe’s mouth twitched—so it seemed he and Old Zhao were truly fated. Even with their destinies changed, they were still desk mates.

"Then, hordes of the Chaos Army appeared out of the sky, bombing Yanyun first," Old Zhao said with a low voice, "Too many people were blown to bits without even reacting. A bomb hit our school too; the building next to ours was completely gone... The teacher told us to run, and we hid in the underground parking garage nearby. But it still wasn’t safe. Later on, even when the army deployed, they could only lead us out of Yanyun as best as they could. After that came the explosions... Civilian signals were all disconnected, and there were battles happening all over the world. I picked up the weapon of a fallen hero, joined the military hoping to repel the enemy and find my relatives. But teammates were replaced one after another, up until now. I never managed to find my family... So, go to Border City. Maybe you’ll find your relatives there, I will help you."

Li Changhe silently nodded.

What Zhao Qianhui said was quite one-sided, many details weren’t mentioned. He also hid some information.

The chaos after the disaster, the ruthless suppression, the giant city built using the last of our strength. The anarchy and filth within the giant city were a series of brutal images.

Li Changhe didn’t pry further.

And Yun Ting, within Old Zhao’s memories, found the information she was seeking.

Bustling streets and prosperous skyscrapers were destroyed in an instant, with many humans obliterated by the sudden bombings.

After the bombardment, drop pods fell, and dreadful Demon Generals brought slaughter.

At that time, from Zhao Qianhui’s point of view.

His babbling desk mate, his face painted with a Face, drawing a great bow in his hands.

One arrow slaying three hundred Demon Generals!

"Hey, truly worthy of you, bro," Yun Ting chuckled softly.
