Chapter 422: Suddenly I want to mess up

Liang Yu didn’t waste words with him and directly told him to go collect the so-called martial arts manuals that had been sent over later; whether they practiced them or not was up to them.

Qu Baoguo was silent for a while after hearing this, but he didn’t say much, as what Liang Yu gave them was for their self-preservation.

However, there was one thing Liang Yu hadn’t considered.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying: ‘Poor for scholarship, rich for martial arts.’

These four words are not just talk; after all, the poor cannot provide large amounts of meat to supplement the energy required by the body, which is why there is the saying ‘poor for scholarship.’

Currently, the people in Qu Baoguo’s area are indeed in the ‘poor for scholarship’ category, even though they have received help from Liang Yu and their lives have improved quite a bit.

However, if everyone were to start practicing, it would undoubtedly increase the burden of living costs, as they would not only need meat for every meal but also large quantities of it.

This was something Qu Baoguo could not afford, but while widespread promotion was impossible, Qu Baoguo believed a small-scale approach was feasible; he thought training a twelve-person team should be barely manageable.

Liang Yu was unaware of Qu Baoguo’s thoughts; after having the drone transport the items, he was now considering the issue of relocating the Underground World.

West Sand City was currently under his control; although he had caused some trouble earlier by killing Li Hua, who was sent by the Imperial City, they would likely send more people and investigate the matter.

However, this was not something he needed to worry about; what did the person killed by the Emperor Armor have to do with him?

The other party doesn’t believe this excuse?

Go to the Zen Sect and find Zen Master Qizhen; he is still a living victim, so can they still question it?

It was at this moment that Liang Yu remembered he still had an invitation to the Abyss, and he also needed to find time to go there, as there were secrets he wanted to find there as well.

Looking at it this way, his schedule seemed much more urgent; whether it was Changbai Mountain or the Abyss, both required his attention.

The matters of West Sand City also required his decision; suddenly, for a moment, he felt that he had too many things on his plate and had to do everything himself.

This was completely different from his initial vision, as he only wanted to lie flat, enjoy his life, and then return to primitive activities with his little wife, ideally having two football teams of children to referee.

However, he was amused by his own thoughts; if Lan Ling alone were to give birth to two football teams, she would surely ask him if he was treating her like a sow.

No, perhaps even a sow couldn’t give birth that much.

Unconsciously, another day passed; when he saw the sky lighten, Liang Yu realized he hadn’t slept all night, yet he felt no drowsiness at all, only a feeling of hunger in his stomach.

Casually grabbing some snacks to fill his stomach, Liang Yu focused his attention on the sky outside.

He didn’t know how long it had been since he had seen such a beautiful sunrise.

The darkness before dawn had not completely faded, but a faint glimmer had already quietly appeared on the horizon.

That glimmer, like a wisp of soft ribbon, slowly spread across the inky sky.

At this moment, Liang Yu hurriedly pulled Lan Ling, who was still asleep, out of bed; as for Xiao Yizi, Mu Yunxi, Liang Yu considered it their private time, and she had no part in it.

Lan Ling, forcibly awakened by Liang Yu, looked at the scene before her; gradually, the faint light gathered into a soft blush, like a shy girl’s cheek.

As time passed, the blush continuously spread and deepened, and the surrounding clouds were also dyed with magnificent colors—pink, purple, or orange—intertwining like a dream.

Finally, the sun revealed a small part of its face, red and warm, yet not scorching.

It was like a curious child, cautiously peeking into this world.

The gentle light spread across the earth, draping everything in a golden veil.

And then, the sun slowly ascended; with each upward movement, its light intensified.

Golden sunlight pierced through the morning mist, scattering onto the sparkling surface of the swimming pool, the dancing light spots resembling countless brilliant gems.

Lan Ling watched the sunrise, slowly leaning into Liang Yu’s embrace; the two of them nestled together until the sun had fully risen.

Just as the two were immersed in this beautiful moment, Liang Yu suddenly received an alarm from the Satellite, indicating a convoy had appeared seventy kilometers outside Qu Baoguo’s base.

Liang Yu frowned; this was truly bad timing. Liang Yu knew exactly what the other party wanted to do; their people had died, so naturally, they were coming to get revenge.

He comforted Lan Ling, telling her to go back and rest, while he quickly tidied himself up and returned to the cockpit.

Regarding this convoy, Liang Yu was considering whether to deal with them himself or leave them for Qu Baoguo and his people to practice with.

Of course, there was a risk involved in practicing, but Liang Yu didn’t care; it was still the same saying: after all, anyone could die in this world.

However, he was now leaning towards keeping the other party alive; with one Satellite-charged orbital cannon, there would likely be nothing left of them.

He wanted to keep them alive just to know where their base was. Liang Yu had just searched within a two-hundred-kilometer radius of the detected convoy but unfortunately found nothing.

That’s why he wanted to keep someone alive to inquire about the location of their base; only by finding the location could Liang Yu go and see what the situation was like there.

However, although he planned to leave the matter to Qu Baoguo, Liang Yu still decided to dispatch drones to investigate the reality of this convoy.

Under his deployment, ten military drones silently ascended like ghosts, cutting through the sky and speeding towards the convoy’s location.

The drones’ bodies gleamed with cold metallic light; they were neatly arranged, forming a unique formation in the night sky.

The advanced detection equipment mounted on their bodies, like keen eyes, was constantly ready to capture any clues.

The drones quickly approached the target area, the sound of their propellers becoming clearer in the silence.

Liang Yu lay in the driver’s seat, watching the images transmitted back by the drones.

The drones circled high in the sky, like keen birds, quietly observing the convoy below.

The convoy slowly advanced on the desolate road, raising clouds of dust around them.

The modified humans in the convoy were exceptionally alert; almost the moment the drones appeared, they noticed something.

One of them, a tall modified human with a mechanical right arm glinting with cold light, suddenly looked up at the sky, his gaze like a torch, quickly locking onto the ten drones.

“Unidentified flying objects!”

He shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the convoy.

The other modified humans stopped their actions and looked up at the sky, their eyes revealing vigilance and hostility.

“Shoot it down!”

Another modified human gave the order.
