EBE Chapter 325 Sleepy
Chapter 325 Sleepy
After separating from Lao Xing, Xiao began to explore other hot springs in the city.
On the way, he also met Luo Xing, Fang Chongguang, and some soldiers he didn't know. These people should be the support that Lao Xing mentioned.
By the time they had run through all the hot springs in the city and determined the situation inside, most of the night had already passed quietly.
Fortunately, no bad news came. It seemed that the anchor point only appeared in the hot spring bath that Xiao passed by.
However, an anchor point has appeared in the city. Once it happened for the first time, it means there will be a second and third time. Before the second-level order envoy Xueying is eliminated, the area near the hot spring bathhouse is extremely dangerous.
Ye Lingchuan knew this very well, so he began to make arrangements overnight. It took him two days to finally clear the areas around each hot spring resort.
The residents who originally lived in these areas were all arranged to an area in the southwest corner of the city, which is some distance away from the residential area. Even if any unexpected situation occurs, it is difficult to affect the completely normal residents.
At the same time, following Xiao's advice, the team sent to the mountains to clean up the team that Xueying had arranged in the hot springs encountered unexpected troubles.
The dark shadows guarding the bottom of the hot spring were nearly invulnerable to weapons and swords. Even the king-level officers in the army tried their best but were unable to defeat them.
Right now, resolving internal problems is of utmost importance. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, we will be attacked from all sides, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Xiao was not dispatched to deal with Sombra because of his record of defeating Sombra. Instead, he stayed in the city to assist the residents in the evacuation and explore the anchor point.
The only good news in the past two days is that the improved version of the protective suit was delivered as promised. Unfortunately, there was only one set. However, it was enough for Ye Lingchuan to go into the mountains and carry out the decapitation operation.
……
That night.
In a spacious house in the City Lord's Mansion, all the people from the last meeting gathered here.
The air was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere, and almost everyone had a solemn look on their face, as if a major war was about to begin.
Ye Lingchuan's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and he was the first to speak: "In the past two days, a new anchor point has appeared in the city, causing the erosion of Baihe City to intensify. Tomorrow, I will go into the mountains alone to conquer it."
"Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you." Just as Ye Lingchuan finished speaking, Xuan Zu's vigorous voice rang out in the room, "A Level 2 Order Envoy is also a top-notch existence among the Emperors. With your strength, you may not be able to take him down. You should prepare a backup plan."
"I understand your concerns." Ye Lingchuan nodded slightly, "Then...what does Xuanzu think?"
Xuan Zu pondered for a moment and said, "I cannot enter the mountain because of the Wanxiang Tianyan Formation. In the past two days, I have calculated several points of the formation. If we can destroy them, we can weaken the power of the formation. Then, I can break through the constraints of the formation and go to the top of the mountain to help you."
Hearing this, Lord Bai, who was sitting next to Ye Lingchuan, changed his expression slightly and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after looking at the faces of others, he finally lowered his head and secretly gave a look to Mo Zuche on the other side.
Xiao didn't see all this. He clenched his left fist to support his face, one eye was squinted, and the other eye was blurry, he looked listless.
He was busy looking after the people's evacuation team and constantly inspecting the various hot spring baths. He had not slept for two consecutive nights.
In fact, it was nothing, just two days of staying up all night. Now he is no longer an ordinary person.
But he also tackled two anchor points in town.
Including the one he dealt with in the mountains, he destroyed a total of three anchors in such a short time.
Although he did not consume much of his own strength in this process, and mainly borrowed from the Red Goblin, it still consumed a considerable amount of his own energy.
This kind of energy consumption is constantly accumulating. He didn't feel too much discomfort before, but during the day today, after solving the new anchor point, he felt obviously tired. After a short rest, there was no sign of relief from the fatigue.
The energy consumption this time is greater than the previous two times combined.
Fortunately, other people attending the meeting had no objection to him dozing off in the seat in the corner. At this moment, he just hoped that Ye Lingchuan would not suddenly say "Xiao, what do you think?" like he did last time.
The scene was eerie, just like when one is sleepy in class and the teacher suddenly calls on him. Maybe that would scare him awake right away.
This is the fear that is engraved in the blood.
"Do you need me? You go and rest." The green goblin's calm voice came in my mind, like a clear spring in the mountains, with a hint of concern.
"no need."
Xiao refused without even thinking about it.
After a long while, he slowly explained: "If we act too excited, General Ye might ask us if we have any ideas. Can you resist not answering then?"
"..." The green goblin was silent.
Xiao continued, "I don't want to establish such a personality, but we can write an anonymous letter to him later."
"Ah."
On the other hand, the meeting went very smoothly and Xiao was not named as he wished.
Perhaps because Xiao had been working too hard these past two days, and he could only be considered a non-staff member, Ye Lingchuan did not assign him any specific tasks. He just asked him to have a good rest, and then move flexibly in the city to provide quick support.
After the meeting, Xiao stood up from his seat, stretched, and then walked out.
There was another meeting coming up, but since he was not an officer or general, it had nothing to do with him, and he had no interest in staying to listen. At the moment, he just wanted to go back early and have a good rest.
When Xiao jumped away several places, he reacted belatedly. When he was leaving, he seemed to hear Mo Zuche calling him.
He turned his head subconsciously, and could no longer see the shadow of the City Lord's Mansion behind him.
Looking at the empty street behind him, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Go back and take a look?
Soon, he shook his head gently.
Forget it. If it was something really important, Mo Zuche would have come to me in person.
I'm so sleepy that I can hardly keep my eyelids open.
After a while, Xiao returned to where he lived.
He mustered up the last bit of his energy, took out a pen and paper, and hastily wrote down Green Goblin's suggestions.
Looking at the handwriting on the paper that was twisted like earthworms, he felt that when he woke up tomorrow, he might not be able to recognize that the words on the paper were written by him.
After writing, he summoned the Kaze Kamaitachi.
"Give this record to General Ye, but make sure it is not discovered." Xiao whispered.
He doesn't even have the strength to speak now.
After hearing this, the Kaze Weasel stood up with a paper folded three times in its mouth, a confident look on its face.
It patted its chest heavily, as if to assure Xiao that it would complete the task successfully.
Then it jumped out of the window and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xiao walked a few steps into the room and came to the bed. He could no longer hold on and fell directly onto the bed.
He couldn't hold it any longer.
Almost the moment his face buried in the quilt, his consciousness was overwhelmed by sleepiness.
……
Xiao discovered that he had been dreaming more and more frequently recently, and none of them were good dreams.
In the dream, everything was dark in front of his eyes and he could not see anything, but he could feel that he was falling.
Xiao suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.
