Chapter 147 Different paths lead to the same destination
Russell thought for a moment but did not make a decision immediately. After all, this was his first time participating in such a mission.
"What's the difference between the two?"
The garrison personnel did not show any impatience, but patiently replied: "If you guard the shelter, the reward points afterwards will be less, and there will be more support missions."
Russell nodded slightly when he heard this, and then fell silent.
"It seems that it is safer to stay in the shelter. But it is also true. After all, there should be other silver-level card makers here besides me."
“It’s just the current situation.”
Russell felt that this demon invasion came out of nowhere and without any signs.
This made him have some bad associations.
"Huh, I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible."
Having made a decision in his heart, Russell said aloud, "I'll choose the support mission."
After hearing Russell's answer, the garrison personnel operated the identity information query device and said, "We have reported it for you. We will soon inform Sir Russell where you will go for support."
"Thank you."
While waiting, Russell thought for a moment and sent a message in the sect group.
[Russell: There are demons from a mysterious realm invading Nandu. 】
Not long after, he received a reply from his senior brother Zhang Jingxing.
[Zhang Jingxing: Sure enough. The invasion of the secret realm demons in Nandu this time is definitely related to the demons in the north.]
[Zhang Jingxing: Otherwise, why would the mysterious demons suddenly invade the north just as the card makers were transferred there? ]
[Zhang Jingxing: It can't be such a coincidence, right? I'm afraid those masters can't stand it anymore, right? ]
Senior Brother Zhang Jingxing's words were filled with resentment.
"There must be a conflict between the eldest brother and the imperial court."
Russell immediately realized the key point. The tone of the eldest brother gave him the feeling that it was not just about factional struggle.
And he has always been puzzled by one thing, why the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister chose to go to the north. You know, Bai Yueming is guarding the coastal defense line!
[Bai Yueming: Jing Xing! 】
【Zhang Jingxing: I was too talkative, teacher.】
Seeing the teacher speak, Russell looked at the message in the group silently and did not choose to ask.
In fact, his ideas are no different from those of his senior brother Zhang Jingxing.
But at first he didn't think that it was the collusion between the masters and demons in the court who did it.
After all, it was a fact that Russell had already confirmed long ago that there was a connection between the demons.
However, after his senior brother Zhang Jingxing said this, he began to have some doubts.
Putting away his phone, Russell looked at the cloudy sky in a daze.
"Heh, it is quite similar to the Ming Dynasty before the time travel."
It's just that the object has changed.
Moreover, there is an association that is forcibly extending the life of the Ming Dynasty.
"But why hasn't the court been replaced by the association yet?"
You know, as far as Russell knows, his teacher and Ye Diantang are definitely on the side of the association. It is hard to say about the remaining two master card makers, but Ye Diantang alone should be enough for the association to completely overwhelm the court.
Unless the court has other cards up its sleeve.
Russell fell into deep thought until the vibration of his cell phone brought him back to consciousness.
[Please ask the card maker to go to Guanlan Community for support in time. 】
It's an official mission.
After receiving the mission, Russell no longer thought about the struggles at the top level. He said goodbye to several garrison personnel and quickly rushed to his destination.
The struggle between the court and the association was still a bit far away from him, so for now he should just focus on doing his job well.
"Mr. Wu, why don't we go?"
In front of Guanlan Community, a young man with a panic-stricken look on his face said anxiously.
Standing next to him was Wu Di, the kind-hearted man who had previously given Russell a huge gift.
Wu Di heard the young man's words and glanced at him coldly: "Leave? Where to?"
"You left without completing the mission. Do you know how angry my father will be?" Hearing this, the young man immediately broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed his saliva and said, "I made a mistake, Master Wu."
Wu Di was also having a headache at this time. The old man insisted that he get some experience and asked him to carry out the mission.
What a joke! With the strength of their Wu family, Wu Di has nothing he wants. What’s the use of those crappy points?
Wu Di rubbed his brows, sighed helplessly and said: "If it doesn't work, just ignore those low-level trash and kill the demons."
Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "After all, when I got here, those scum had already been slaughtered by the demons, right?"
The young man's eyes lit up: "As expected of you, Mr. Wu, it has to be you."
Behind them, a large group of ordinary people were trembling.
The people closest to them looked even more desperate after hearing the conversation between the two.
Originally, after seeing the card maker coming, they all thought that they could survive this time.
But who would have thought that on their way to the shelter, several hideous and terrifying monsters appeared before and after them.
At this moment, a blood-yellow river was surging in the void, tightly surrounding the ordinary people present.
It’s Wu Di’s Meng Po.
Far in the distance on the street, several demons were breathing terrifying air at them.
"tsk"
Seeing this, Wu Di curled his lips impatiently.
If it weren't for the bunch of trash behind her, Meng Po wouldn't have to spend so much energy controlling Naihe to guard the surroundings.
Meng Po can kill all the monsters in the distance by herself.
"If it weren't for the battle yesterday that put everyone except Meng Po into cooldown, I wouldn't be so restricted now."
Thinking of this, a hint of indelible gloom appeared between Wu Di's eyebrows.
"Besides, a lackey is a lackey. It is indeed useless."
Taking a cold look at the young man beside him, Wu Di began to think about the feasibility of ignoring the group of ordinary people behind him.
Although doing this will definitely make my old man nag me, it is better than running away.
Besides, when the matter is over, he will delete the surveillance video first, and no one will know what he has done.
Having made up his mind, Wu Di no longer hesitated.
Meng Po, who is Wu Di's card, would not have any mercy.
The originally huge blood-yellow river shrank in an instant, and after only protecting Wu Di and the other two, it rushed towards the demon in the distance.
"My lord?"
When the residents of Guanlan Community saw the blood-yellow river recede, they stood there in a daze, mumbling what they saw.
When a few demons in the distance saw this, they immediately exhaled and fled in all directions.
Wu Di showed a hint of anger on his face: "Don't let me catch you, you bastard."
After saying this, he no longer cared about the ordinary people behind him.
At his signal, Meng Po controlled the blood-yellow water of the Nai River and chased after one of the demons.
In just a few breaths, the demon turned into a pile of white bones.
But at this time, it was obviously too late to come back to protect the group of ordinary people behind him.
At this time, the residents of Guanlan Community closed their eyes in despair.
Faced with the attacks of the silver-level demons, they could not escape the attack range even if they ran to pieces.
However, it was not known whether it was their illusion, but at this moment the windless street seemed to be blown by a breeze.
Just as the demon's attack was about to fall, a faint flow of air seemed to appear around them.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded in the street.
Wu Di looked at the changes around him in astonishment.
Then, a hoarse and low voice sounded in his ears: "It's you, Wu Di."
The smoke dissipated, and the invisible mental force protected everyone inside like a golden bell.
