Chapter 35 Reward

Chapter 35 Reward
After a while, Russell returned to the entrance of the secret realm.

Zhao Chang and Lao Liu followed closely behind Russell.

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

They didn't expect that a simple exploration operation would eventually lead to Zhou Yi and Xiang Yan's death in this secret realm.

Old Liu Qiang cheered up and said, "I will talk to the person in charge of the association later."

Then, he roared angrily, "Heh, counterattack Blue Star? I want these monsters to pay for Lao Zhou and the others' lives!"

Russell and Zhao Chang nodded silently. Having discovered such crucial information this time, they didn't believe that the association would not take action.

After the three of them left the secret realm, Lao Liu immediately set out to find the person in charge of the [Black Flag] secret realm.

Russell and Zhao Chang looked at each other and followed.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the person in charge's office.

"boom!"

The sound of the door being pushed open startled the person in charge who was working.

Looking up, he saw Lao Liu and Zhao Chang, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Didn't you just go in for half a day? How come you're out already?"

Then he glanced behind the three of them, and when he saw no one else, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are Zhou Yi and Xiang Yan, are they still in the secret realm?"

Hearing this, Old Liu gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said, "The demons in the secret realm are planning a counterattack!"

"Our ambush was exposed. Zhou Yi and Xiang Yan stayed there to cover our retreat."

When the person in charge heard what Lao Liu said, he stood up in a daze.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "You all know the current situation of the association. Apart from increasing the base's alert and reporting, there is nothing I can do."

The Card Makers Association was short of manpower after the riot at the [Demon's Nest], and most of the card makers were transferred to guard the vicinity of the [Demon's Nest].

When Old Liu heard this, he was instantly filled with anger and slammed the table hard: "Then did Old Zhou and the others die in vain?!"

He didn't expect that Zhou Yi's sacrifice would result in this result.

The person in charge just looked at him quietly and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Lao Liu whispered, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

Lao Liu also understood that this was not something the person in charge could decide. Apart from helping to report it, he could do nothing else. Getting angry here would be useless.

"But to thank you for bringing out this information, I can give you some rewards on behalf of the association." The person in charge looked at the three people in a low voice, thought for a moment, and spoke out.

As he spoke, the person in charge picked up a booklet from the bookshelf nearby and placed it on the table in front of him.

"No matter how much reward we give, the captain and his men will never come back."

A slightly tired voice sounded. Zhao Chang lowered his head at this time, making it difficult to see his expression.

If possible, he would rather not have these rewards and exchange them for Zhou Yi and the other two to come back.

Russell on the side took a step forward expressionlessly and began to look through the booklet on the table.

Biological materials: [Ghoul King] (gold), [Koga Ninja] (gold), [Flesh Demon - Speed ​​Specialized Type] (gold)
Item materials: [Universal Rubber] (gold), [Nameless Demon Sword] (gold), [Type 2 Biological Colonization Suit] (gold)
The booklet was filled with pictures of bronze-level materials.

At this moment, Zhao Chang, who was standing behind Russell, was looking at him flipping through the booklet as if no one was around, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, Zhao Chang could understand Russell. After all, he had only temporarily joined their team for training, and in the final analysis, it was they who dragged Russell into such a dangerous situation.

Russell said he didn't want to get involved any further, and he couldn't blame the other party for anything.

What's more, if Russell hadn't killed Mogi, based on the situation on the scene, I'm afraid none of them would have been able to get out alive.

Therefore, he did not have any resentment towards Russell, but instead felt somewhat grateful.

"I want this, thank you." Russell's voice interrupted Zhao Chang's thoughts, and he pointed to the [Universal Rubber] (Gold) in the booklet and said to the person in charge. "Okay, please register it, and the materials will be delivered to your residence later." The person in charge said with a smile.

In his opinion, Russell had set a good example. After all, no one wanted to cause such a deep hatred.

Moreover, card makers die every day in the secret realm. Even when the [Demon's Nest] rioted a few years ago, diamond-level card makers died. How come you, Zhou Yi, a mere bronze-level card maker, can't die?

After completing the registration, Russell turned to Zhao Chang and Lao Liu and said, "Then you two, I'll go back first. I'm a little tired."

After saying this, Russell stopped looking at the two's reactions and walked out the door.

When passing by the two, Zhao Chang's low voice reached Russell's ears: "Ronaldinho, I wish you a bright future. Don't let the captain's sacrifice go to waste."

This was Zhao Chang's true feelings. He could understand why Russell did not avenge Zhou Yi. After all, the two of them had only known each other for less than a day.

Russell paused, his face so calm that it was hard to tell what he was feeling, but then he continued walking towards the door.

At this time, Old Liu sneered and deliberately said loudly: "Old Zhou is really blind."

In his opinion, Russell had to make his attitude clear no matter what.

But now he has just chosen his rewards and is preparing to retreat. He is a completely selfish person.

But before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Zhao Chang.

Old Liu glanced at Zhao Chang, swallowed the vicious words in his mouth, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Russell stood by the door with his back to the two of them, and a faint voice came out of his mouth: "I will avenge Brother Zhou."

It seemed that the voice was too soft, Zhao Chang did not hear Russell's words clearly, and turned to look at Russell's back in confusion: "What?"

"I said, I will avenge Brother Zhou!"

Finally, the two people behind Russell heard his words clearly and felt the determination in his words.

Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment, but finally a faint smile appeared on his face.

In his heart, no matter whether Russell would really avenge Zhou Yi in the end, at least at this moment, he could be sure that Russell was serious.

After saying this, Russell ignored the reactions of the two people behind him and just stepped out of the door firmly.

At this moment, Russell felt that his mental strength had finally crossed the bronze level.

This means that he can make bronze-level cards.

Revenge is never a vain word.

He believes he has the ability.

Arriving outside the base, Russell stared blankly at the sky.

This was the first time he witnessed the death of an acquaintance.

Not to mention that Zhou Yi sacrificed himself to cover their retreat.

He wouldn't say anything. If it weren't for Zhou Yi, he wouldn't have fallen into that situation at all.

As early as the moment he entered the secret realm, he had already prepared himself mentally.

After all, his daily studies had told him that anything could happen in the secret realm, and this day would come sooner or later.

But Russell didn't expect this day to come so soon.

After sorting out his complicated emotions, Russell summoned Pidgeot and flew towards home.

He was going home to make his first bronze card.
