Feixue crossed her arms and leaned against the boxing ring, her tone indifferent.
Erica was taken aback and looked over: "Feixue..."
Xuefeng smiled meaningfully and said, "Silly girl, if you don't catch up now, you'll miss your chance."
Lin Yuan and Erica had already discussed their relationship several times in private.
"Let's go, if that kid bullies you, I'll beat him up for you!"
Mo Cheng raised his fist and smiled slightly.
"Don't forget to oil your prosthetic leg again when the time comes."
Feixue said in a calm, teasing tone.
Before Instructor Elon went on his journey, he asked Mo Cheng and Lin Yuan to have a boxing match, but the kid made an excuse and ran away.
"Nonsense, I genuinely forgot to apply the oil that time!"
Everyone immediately laughed.
"Everyone......"
Erica looked at everyone as if waking from a dream, her eyes welling up with tears, and she turned away to secretly wipe them away.
He hurried towards Lin Yuan.
Chapter 47 The Journey: Crowds Line the Streets to See Them Off
Erica lunged forward and hugged Lin Yuan from behind, saying in a muffled voice:
"Lin Yuan, I've thought about it for a long time. From now on, whether it's the apocalypse or the Devouring Beasts, whether we eat insect cakes or go hungry, I want to face it all with you... Is that okay?"
"my pleasure."
Feeling the warm, soft touch behind him, Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time."
He actually wanted to leave with Erica, but he didn't want to force her to make a choice.
And even if he leaves, he will come back and bring Erica with him.
We'll meet again eventually, so I didn't press the matter too much.
After saying this, Erica tightened her grip on Lin Yuan's arm.
"Over here...over here!"
Suddenly, the voices of a group of children came from the sky.
Ran Bing coughed softly inside the car:
"Ahem, someone's coming... be careful."
Erica realized what was happening, her face turning bright red. She frantically pushed Lin Yuan away, saying, "I...I...go get my gravity body!"
With that, she hurriedly left.
"Alright, Lin Yuan is right here. We've arrived."
An old man with three children came to the armory.
Penny was following behind him.
Lin Yuan looked closely and realized it was Old Dustman 0609 and the little girl 9033.
During this time, he also kept an eye on the medical center. Since receiving the regenerative blood transfusion, the little girl 9033 has recovered quickly, but she is still very weak. She even has some difficulty walking, and it was Old Dustman 0609 who carried her here.
The children following behind are 8925 and 9033, who are the little girl's childhood sweethearts.
"Lord Lin Yuan, we've come to see you."
The little girl didn't know how to express her respect, so she used the word "adult".
After she got off the old man's back, she took out a box of compressed biscuits, her voice still a little childish:
"Thank you for saving me. Here, take this to eat on your way."
"Thank you. I'll be at your service then."
Lin Yuan squatted down, accepted the compressed biscuits, and then patted her head with a smile.
The box of compressed biscuits in my hand was still warm.
Although the Lighthouse currently only dares to experiment on patients with the Bloodstained Syndrome and those on the verge of death, if Charles really becomes paranoid, it's hard to guarantee that he won't extend his clutches to 9033 and the others.
After all, I've given them blood before, so it has some research value.
If someone I saved dies, wouldn't all my efforts have been in vain?
However, there are solutions.
"Brother is leaving. How about I have those hunters protect you from now on? They are all my friends."
Lin Yuan pointed to Xuefeng, Mocheng, and the others behind him.
These people were reliable enough that Charles dared not act openly.
"Okay, Brother Lin Yuan."
9033 seemed to understand something and nodded obediently.
"Don't worry, with your uncle here, you'll be absolutely safe."
Mo Cheng smiled and winked at them.
Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Mo Cheng.
All you do is try to take advantage of others. I'm just the older brother, how come you're already the uncle?
Just as I stood up, I heard Old Dustman 0609 say apologetically:
"Um... I have something I'd like to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I heard that you can bring others with you on this long journey. I'm an old man and I don't have many years left, so I want to take advantage of the fact that I can still move around... and travel with you."
Old Chenmin felt uneasy, afraid of being rejected.
It must be said that 0609 is indeed very healthy. As the oldest mortal in the lighthouse, while some of his younger counterparts have already gone far away, he is still able to go to the ground to work as a porter.
Moreover, after recovering from his injuries, he was in even better spirits.
"Of course, I'll show you around then."
Lin Yuan suddenly smiled, recalling the time when Old Dustman 0609 had seen Bai Yuekui twelve years ago at the Lighthouse.
Now, the lighthouse has been in operation for 51 years. Nearly 40 years have passed, and 0609 is now wearing reading glasses and has a full head of white hair.
I wonder what his expression would be if he saw that Boss Bai still looked like a young girl.
After Erica boarded the gravity vehicle, the group headed to the elevator platform.
Ahead, Charles looked over and smiled calmly:
"Captain Mark, two Hunters, two mechs... is that all you're planning to bring?"
The tone sounded like an old friend greeting him.
Lin Yuan grinned, revealing his teeth: "What, you're going to give me the lighthouse?"
"..."
Charles fell silent, not expecting Lin Yuan to kill the conversation so easily.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just worried that you didn't bring enough things, and the people's 'farewell' won't be warm enough."
He made a few sarcastic remarks and then left.
No wonder he's a master of veiled sarcasm.
According to the previous bet, there should be no large-scale public protests when the trip ends.
However, since Lin Yuan dared to agree, he must have a way.
They watched the people of Lighthouse whispering to them on both sides of the road.
Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe spinning rapidly.
.........
The departure ceremony begins.
Charles stood in front of the transport vehicle, arms outstretched, and shouted loudly to the crowd:
"Captain Mark and Lin Yuan are the strongest and most promising heroes of the Lighthouse to find the truth. They set off ahead of schedule with supplies in order to better find the truth and create a more glorious future for the Lighthouse! Let the Lighthouse be great again!"
"Especially Lin Yuan, he can be described as exceptionally outstanding. Not only did he save the previous city lord and the hunters, but he was also elegant, resourceful, and possessed both wisdom and courage..."
Charles's men among the people were astonished.
Even if Lord City Lord is going to be hypocritical, there's no need to flatter Lin Yuan like this.
A playful smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.
The one in front of him was not Charles, but a phantom he had created using genjutsu, since the three-tomoe Sharingan could not directly control his mind.
The real Charles was frowning on a high platform, his face full of questions.
These ordinary people have no defenses against the life essence they possess, and they don't even know how to use it.
Creating illusions for them is as easy as withdrawing money from a bank card without a PIN.
And the results were indeed quite good.
After listening to Charles's effusive flattery, the public looked somewhat bewildered.
So the city lord admires Lin Yuan so much?
And upon closer reflection... it seems to make a lot of sense.
The crowd's discussion shifted from skepticism to praise.
"I knew it! Lin Yuan is such a handsome man. If he hadn't smashed up the Dawn Hall, the city lord would never have been willing to let him travel so far."
"If you ask me, he should have smashed it! Good riddance! He wouldn't even let me go!"
"I didn't expect that Lord Lin Yuan would bring old-fashioned contact lenses before his journey. They are quite unique."
Overwhelmed with enthusiasm, people on both sides of the road drew closer and closer to the transport vehicle.
Ran Bing and Erica were so frightened that their hearts jumped into their throats.
What if they see the beast-like Mark when the tarpaulin on the vehicle is pulled down?
.........
"How is this going?"
In the distance, Charles looked at the people's admiring expressions, somewhat puzzled, and asked the Lightbringer.
This situation was completely contrary to their expectations.
The Lightbringer Vatican was also somewhat bewildered, and it took him a while to say:
“I have contacted the priests who have been placed among the people, but they have not responded.”
At the same time, Lin Yuan winked his right eye at her provocatively.
This immediately made Vatican frown.
You smug little brat! You'll get what's coming to you soon enough!
When we were almost at the lifting platform.
"Captain Mark, since you are a hero of the Lighthouse, why don't you show yourself? Can't you say goodbye to us in person?"
Several men rushed out from the crowd.
Because a transport vehicle was used this time, which was much larger and covered with a very large tarpaulin, the road appeared somewhat narrow.
Once they rush forward, all they need to do is reach out and gently pull, and Captain Mark in his beast form will appear before everyone.
