The eight people from Huge Bear Squad continued to lie there without moving, shielding their heads as they stared absentmindedly into the distance.
Before them, the Core Ravaging Thunder had blasted out a huge pit, and without exception, the 30 plus zombies had all been annihilated in the explosion.
The numerous experts that defended Guanlan City’s North Gate had exited the city by flying high up into the sky, and when they saw this scene before them, they were all startled.
The members of Huge Bear Squad were also only slowly able to get up after a good while had passed, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
“C-Captain, is o-our Huge Bear Squad so famous now? That even a random little miss crossing the street can immediately blurt out the name of our Huge Bear Squad?”
Huge Bear Squad’s captain, Gao Sheng, grumpily smacked the back of that team member’s skull with his palm. “What nonsense are you spouting. It must be because she saw the badge on our chests!”
Everyone lowered their heads for a look. Their Huge Bear badge wasn’t extremely noticeable, and the bear engraved on the badge didn’t look mighty either… Frankly speaking, could that miss truly distinguish that it was a ‘huge bear’ on this badge?
“What exactly happened here?” A mystic cultivator guarding the city looked solemnly at the captain, Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng scratched the back of his head with a silly smile. “It’s just that, just earlier, um, our squad carelessly attracted a zombie pack’s pursuit, and a passing expert helped us dispose of the zombies. Ah, that’s right, we, the Huge Bear Squad, went to the north slope to complete a potherb digging mission. At the moment, we’ve completed our mission and plan to return to the city.”
The mystic cultivator guarding the city scanned the badge on their chests before giving a nod, saying, “According to the rules, you have to first stay in the tent district outside the city for several days, and you can only enter the city when it’s about time.”
“Okay, okay!” Everyone understood the rules. Hence, Gao Sheng nodded repeatedly without objection before leading his teammates towards the north city gate’s tent district.
What’s more, Mo Lian knew that the little fellow’s misdeed would certainly alarm the city guardians, so he hastily slapped the horse’s rump, running away with this little ancestor.
Qiao Mu, on the other hand, was in a great mood, and like a little rat, she giggled in stifled laughter during the entire ride.
Mo Lian helplessly stroked the little fellow’s head. “The nearby zombies will be attracted here by the loud explosion.”
Qiao Mu turned her small head to look at him. “Operation squads will only be able to fill their stomachs if there are missions to carry out.”
Besides, who knew if all the zombies in Guanlan City’s vicinity added up together even amounted to one hundred. After all, the operation squads had continuously disposed of all that needed to be disposed of.
Mo Lian couldn’t resist breaking out into laughter. “How about having Little Seven bring us over?”
“No need. Didn’t you say that riding on horseback to Beilan City only took less than a day?”
“Mhm, at our current speed, we’ll be arriving at dusk.”
“Then let’s just enjoy the scenery.” The little fellow pulled out a packet of osmanthus candy, sucking on one piece herself while stuffing another into Mo Lian’s mouth.
Crown Prince Mo didn’t savor the candy’s taste. Rather, the little fellow’s small, soft, and squishy finger that scraped past his lip made him feel tingly and weak. It was so unimaginably sweet.
On the other end, the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate.
A quick-witted boy servant quickly walked into the hall and bowed towards the master and madam, reporting, “Master, Madam, there are visitors outside. They claim to be clansmen from your main clan.”
Qiao Zhongbang, who had just eaten and was currently checking his son’s recent homework, paused with a book in hand.
Wei Ziqin also raised her head and couldn’t help slightly knitting her brow.
