18 Small Cards

However, at this crucial moment, the computer unexpectedly got waterlogged! Whether it could be repaired now remained uncertain.

Speaking of which, Jade Fairy’s eyes turned icy cold. The suffering she had endured over the past year, she was determined to make Yin Jiuxuan experience it as well.

Following Captain Song’s orders, the group swept the searchlights in all directions. The stone chamber was not very large, so within a short while, they had thoroughly examined their surroundings.

There were no guards inside the mansion. With Song Yintong's strength, there was truly nothing in this Medicine City that could harm him.

At the lower end of the “fishing net” were rows of ancient bronze chains, each about thirty centimeters thick and spaced roughly half a meter apart, stretching endlessly into the distance. To the naked eye, they appeared densely packed, their exact number unknown.

The court had dispatched five armies to quell Northern Palace Boyu, but all had returned empty-handed. Except for the forces of Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo, the returning imperial troops suffered heavy casualties.

This was clearly a boast of their victories—“If I can handle the Quanrong, I can certainly deal with you, the ambitious one.”

She always felt that long ago, this “great merchant” acted primarily for her and the child, but later... things changed.

“Ahem! Actually, that's your misunderstanding. Modern city pipelines are quite clean, and besides, it’s nighttime now.” Although the surgeon’s combat ability rivaled that of the Han, without using his card device, he was quite weak. After this fall, his head felt dizzy.

Prince Chen was furious, and since the source of his anger was her, she naturally wouldn’t provoke him further. She kept her distance, waiting for him to come to his senses, hoping not to ignite this powder keg.

Upon waking, her first action was to check on Zhen Lang, but the stable’s door was tightly locked... and surprisingly, locked from the inside.

Lin Weiyan thought of her depressed and frustrated father, and her elder brother’s setbacks in officialdom, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted. These were burdens she never thought she would have to bear. Half a year ago, she never imagined she could lose everything.

Unlike Dong Qingyue, he could release the legendary star soul at any time, and was not constrained by the past memories of the Flying Divine Emperor.

With a whoosh, a beam of light streaked past their eyes. Even seventh-level evolvers like Zhao Jingshan felt dazzled; others were even more stunned, except Zhang Yifeng, whose face first showed surprise before breaking into a smile.

As for the debris that could not be absorbed, unknowingly, they turned into wisps of black smoke, expelled through tens of thousands of tiny pores on Lin Tian’s body.

“Miss, why are you so fierce?” Chen Fei said as he tended to her wounds.

Lady Liu waved her hand casually. “Throw it into the mass grave!” She had to vent this fury. No concubine of the Liu family had ever angered her this much.

Along the way, they passed more than ten sentry posts. Only after passing through all of them did Lin Xuan and Tang Muyu arrive at the secret chamber.

Mu Yun looked toward the horizon; all the “red sandstorms” had vanished, and not a single soul-devouring ant remained. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.

At first, Ding Chen didn’t pay much attention. The training intensity mimicked that of the former Orbital Assault Team. Despite some inconsistencies, the rigor remained the same. Injuries during training were normal. The worst Ding Chen suffered was an eighteen-bone fracture from a high fall, spending half a month in the medical pod.

Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed. In the next moment, the ground beneath them trembled, and countless dust particles scattered.

There was a muffled sound—an atomic explosion—but it was not the massive blast expected. Only a simple dull thud, then silence.

Then, after earnest persuasion by Yun Ling, the group was dispatched to enter the dungeon, while she stayed behind to continue making bombs.

By the third watch, the Zheng mansion in Jishan Lane was brightly lit, with the Zheng and Zhu families urgently discussing countermeasures.

One of the Eagle-2 fighter jets was missing, evidently something had gone wrong en route. Even if the two pilots survived, this expedition to the ruins was likely impossible now.

Hearing Qingqing’s words, Li Xuan was instantly alarmed. He abruptly turned to look at her, disbelief etched across his face.

However, due to the traditional habit of lining up sights in a straight line, accuracy with this type of gun was generally not high. For these soldiers to achieve headshots every time indicated they were truly well-trained.

“If the altitude is around 1,500 meters, I can guarantee to get them airborne,” Aaron said after some thought.

Soon, the video began playing. Everyone watched attentively, hoping Long Yi would surprise them again. Many had already secured stocks worth hundreds of billions, meaning the development of Monster City was now closely tied to them.

Lin Chong knew that many Han people in the Liao borderlands had already assimilated into barbarian ways, thinking like the nomads and always following the strong.

“Awesome,” Cheng Cheng praised himself inwardly, finally having more time to interact with Pikachu.

“Nothing else, just remember to protect yourself, Ye Ziyu, okay? If anything happens, call me.” Ye Ziqi spoke to Ye Ziyu with rare seriousness.

Ms. Cai quickly nodded. Spring’s return was about serious matters. Despite her curiosity, she didn’t want to interfere. The children obediently followed into the inner room.

The guards at the government gate glanced at them, then turned away. Qiao Zhengqing and his group breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind.

She glanced at the steadfast young man ahead and then at the girl beside him, her ears flushed but trying to stay calm. In her heart, a string snapped abruptly.

Xitron took a parasol-shaped device from his backpack and directly absorbed the shadow ball.

Cheng Cheng’s Pokémon also sprang into action, chopping down all the roots blocking the path. The group continued their retreat.

He knew Han Xiancheng had definitely used True Martial cultivation to make a deal with Zhao Canghai, which was why Zhao Canghai came to assist him.

“Call your sister and ask if she’s with Chen Hua,” Han Xiancheng said.

The once domineering Milan dynasty in the first half of the match was beaten like a drowning dog by the Red Army in the second half.
