Chapter 115. The Mighty Muscle Man Army!
Su Kexin had inhaled a wave of sleepy incense and was now fast asleep, deeply so—perhaps even the sky could fall, and she wouldn’t notice.
Well, it seemed she would just sleep through this period, waiting for the [Skyfire] meteor to fall, and head straight to the heavens.
With Su Kexin soundly asleep, Lin Nuo made no effort to disturb her. After all, it would be best not to interfere with the main character’s sleep. Who knows? It might trigger some nerve and cause a sudden explosion—if the meteor didn’t fall, he might go sky-high first, and that would be a disaster.
As Lin Nuo closed the door to Su Kexin’s room, it felt as if he had already made the judgment, pronouncing Su Kexin’s death sentence.
The [Skyfire] meteor was about to descend, and he needed to flee, escape this area, witness the meteor crash, and then enjoy the explosion. That surely beats the excitement of the Black Scale Stone explosion, right?
Lin Nuo had already packed his bundle, ready to leave the base.
“Are you planning to go out, Young Master Lin?”
The soldiers stationed at the base noticed Lin Nuo was leaving and inquired.
“I’m heading back to the South City Gate of Hu City,” Lin Nuo stated seriously. “I have a feeling the alien race will attack our grain transport route from that direction.”
“I’ll go and come back; you all stay here and guard.”
“Alright, but what about Miss Su?”
“She’s exhausted and resting. Don’t disturb her unless it’s really necessary. If she wakes up, tell her to wait here for me; I’ll be back soon.”
It’s impossible for her to wake up now, not in this lifetime. A blink of an eye, and her entire life would pass—Su Kexin would become a national martyr.
Lin Nuo patted a soldier’s shoulder, feigning camaraderie, but in reality, everything he did was akin to sending them off to a funeral, saying “Good journey, brother.”
“Take care on the road, Young Master Lin.”
Then Lin Nuo rode off on a swift horse, heading south, while the soldiers perked up their spirits, returning to their posts, gathering their resolve to hold the line until the very end.
As Lin Nuo rode, he took a turn; he had previously marked a spot—a mountain, far from the meteor’s drop zone, with a higher elevation, perfect for using the Advanced Viewing Instrument to see the situation at Su Kexin’s base.
This mountain could serve as a lookout point; he had previously eliminated anyone who would’ve been on watch here.
Now, Lin Nuo had truly found a good spot to watch the show, one hand on a Meat Floss Cake and the other holding a bottle of joy water, waiting for the annual grand spectacle, “The Mars Crash Earth: The Main Character’s Tragic Fate.”
As he calculated the time, he estimated that in less than half an hour, the [Skyfire] meteor would drop to Earth. When that happened, there would be chaos and a grand feast!
……
The elite of the alien race struck, attacking the grain transport route of the South City Gate of Hu City.
Amidst the flashing blades and cries of agony, many soldiers clashed against the fierce elite of the alien race. However, the alien elite were ferocious beyond compare, and Hu City’s soldiers could not withstand them, one after another falling on the battlefield.
Defeat! The South City Gate’s grain transport route fell rapidly, and not only that, but the eastern route connecting to another city was also attacked by the alien elite, with soldiers caught unawares, dying in battle.
This news quickly reached Su Kexin’s base.
“Not good, Miss Su, not good!”
A soldier quickly knocked on Su Kexin’s door, but she was still sound asleep, enchanted by the sleepy incense.
The soldier grew anxious. Even if Su Kexin was resting, she shouldn’t sleep so deeply.
What to do? Should they break the door down?
“Miss Su, are you in there? Young Master Lin is in trouble!”
As the soldier continued to knock, the words “Young Master Lin is in trouble!” reached her ears. Though she was in a deep slumber, seemingly repelling outside information, a thread of awareness lingered—anything related to Lin Nuo triggered her nerves, and she was instantly jolted awake.
“Senior Brother? Something has happened to Senior Brother?!”
Just as Su Kexin woke up, the phrase “Young Master Lin is in trouble!” echoed in her mind.
She quickly threw off the covers, put on her pink shoes, and dashed to open the door, only to find anxious soldiers outside.
“What happened? What’s wrong with Senior Brother?!”
“Miss Su, Young Master Lin went to the South City Gate of Hu City alone, but it was attacked by the alien elite. Many soldiers were killed; we’re afraid something might happen to Young Master Lin and urgently need support!”
“Senior Brother went to the South City Gate of Hu City?!”
“Yes, he went alone. You were resting, Miss Su, and may not have known. If it weren’t for the urgency, I wouldn’t want to disturb your rest…”
“No, you did well to wake me; my senior brother is in danger! How can I sit idly by?”
Su Kexin’s expression turned solemn as she grasped her sword, rallying a group of soldiers to charge towards the South City Gate of Hu City.
Senior Brother, please, be alright!
Su Kexin prayed in her heart.
……
Lin Nuo, one hand holding a Meat Floss Cake and the other a bottle of joy water, was busy enjoying himself, glancing at a small sketchbook.
Almost time, he sensed the meteor piercing through the atmosphere above him, plummeting to the earth, thinking how Su Kexin would be crushed by it, which put him in high spirits.
Let’s see how things were at the base.
Lin Nuo once again activated the Advanced Viewing Instrument, gazing towards the base.
However, he saw an incredibly bizarre scene.
Su Kexin was running rapidly south with a group of people!
What the heck? What’s going on? How did she wake up? This is unscientific; that sleepy incense should have kept her asleep for the entire afternoon!
How long had she been sleeping? Even a normal person doesn’t nap that briefly!
And why was she running south now that she’s awake?
Reality was completely beyond Lin Nuo’s expectations. He had put Su Kexin to sleep, waiting for the meteor to strike and send her to the heavens.
But now, not only was Su Kexin awake, she was running south with a crowd. Hadn’t he instructed her not to run around?
This was too strange.
From Lin Nuo’s current position, he couldn’t intercept Su Kexin; besides, even if he could intercept her, she’d just follow him, and in the end, neither of them would survive.
Damn, everything was calculated, so how did things change?
Yet, ahead, a violent sandstorm rolled in, and under the brightness of the sun, shouts echoed as thousands of soldiers charged forward.
Lin Nuo keenly used the Advanced Viewing Instrument and noticed a group of well-muscled muscle men, each brandishing deadly weapons with ferocious expressions, the entire atmosphere growing tense.
This spectacle likely involved over a hundred thousand troops now charging towards the base.
This vast army of muscle men could probably tear through the base’s defenses without even needing weapons, relying solely on their sheer physique!
What was once calm, had now turned chaotic with this approaching horde.
Could it be that Su Kexin sensed the army approaching and was fleeing last minute?
How embarrassing for the main character to turn out to be a deserter!
Lin Nuo lamented that the Mars crash Earth plan had failed; Su Kexin was already withdrawing from the meteor’s strike zone.
As Lin Nuo cursed and considered an escape, he made another discovery.
A battalion was charging towards the base, preparing to clash with the alien army.
Leading the troops was Liu Shuqin!
