Chapter 385 The Glacier Opens the Way, Time to Set Off! (Please vote with monthly tickets!~)

The Great Wall of the Arctic.

The convoy consisted of a dozen or so dark blue snow rhinoceros transport vehicles.

When it finally docked at the giant unloading platform inside the Great Wall.

The carriage partition slammed down.

The biting wind, carrying tiny ice pellets, instantly stung the faces of Lin Kang and the others who had just emerged from the carriage.

Even though they were all second-tier extraordinary beings.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes unconsciously.

However, the next moment.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the Great Wall, a symbol of humanity standing on the edge of despair.

This is a shock that cannot be conveyed by a few pictures or videos on the internet.

"hiss"

Someone let out the first suppressed gasp.

Duan Ling instinctively gripped her arm tightly.

The knuckles turned slightly white from the force applied.

Qu Zhe's mouth was open, but the usually talkative man couldn't utter a single word.

He just stared blankly at the cliff.

The scarred man who was talking so confidently about housing prices in the car earlier.

At this moment, it has completely fallen silent.

This is the reaction of everyone who sees the Great Wall of the Arctic for the first time.

Therefore, the leader of Dawn City who was in charge of leading the team was not in a hurry.

He stood silently to the side, without urging anyone to hurry.

He understood the shock.

He waited quietly.

His gaze swept over the faces filled with shock.

A subtle hint of understanding and pride played at the corners of his mouth.

Two or three minutes passed before the snow, whipped up by the cold wind, reminded everyone of their location once again.

The guide coughed lightly, his voice still clear despite the howling wind: "Gentlemen, welcome to the Arctic front. The Great Wall is magnificent and worthy of admiration, however..."

He paused, then looked up at the leaden-gray sky, where the light was growing increasingly dim.

"The area outside the Great Wall in the Arctic at night is not a suitable place for sightseeing. We still have a long way to go, so we should set off."

These words instantly reminded everyone who was still in shock.

"Go! Go!"

Everyone immediately snapped out of their daze, tightened their gear, and checked their weapons.

"follow me."

The guide said no more.

He turned and walked towards the passageway on the side of the unloading platform.

The passageway was extremely wide, enough to accommodate several heavy armored vehicles side by side.

Huge signs hang on the cold metal walls.

Occasionally, soldiers or engineers in standard combat uniforms, looking hurried, would walk by, casting curious or scrutinizing glances at them.

The guide was clearly very familiar with the area.

After leading everyone through a maze of turns, they soon arrived at a huge gate that was tens of meters high.

There is a checkpoint nearby.

Several officers with solemn expressions were on duty.

Seeing the guide leading a group of people over, one of the officers stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Lin Kang and the others like lightning, and asked in a deep voice, "Identities, destination?"

The guide immediately stepped forward.

He handed over his identification and an electronic list: "Dawn City Temporary Pick-up Point, K7 Batch Supporters, a total of seventeen people, heading to Dawn City."

The officer took the identification and the terminal, quickly swiping his finger across the screen to verify the information.

His gaze swept across the faces of Lin Kang and the others, scrutinizing them, but did not linger for long.

Clearly, this recent surge of supporters from the rear towards Dawn City is a testament to the recent surge of these reinforcements.

They've become accustomed to it.

A few seconds later, the officer handed the identification back.

He gestured towards the control room: "Identity confirmed, proceed!"

hum-

The massive alloy gate slowly opened inward, revealing a gap that gradually widened.

Behind the door was an endless, gray-white world covered in ice and snow.

A biting wind, even more piercing than that inside the Great Wall, suddenly rushed in through the crack in the door.

The wind made everyone's clothes flutter.

"Let's go!"

The leader gave a signal and took the lead.

They stepped through the massive gate that symbolized the boundary between protection and danger.

Take one step forward.

It felt like stepping into another world.

Although the roads inside the Great Wall are cold, at least they have been leveled so that large vehicles can pass through.

Beyond the Great Wall lies a true icy wasteland.

As far as the eye can see, there are huge, undulating ice mounds.

Deep, dark ice fissures crisscross the landscape.

The strong winds whipped up the thick snow on the ground, creating a cloud of snowflakes that drastically reduced visibility.

Huge, grayish-white ice floes piled up near the coastline, bobbing and pounding with the waves.

There was no road! Only winding tracks trodden out by those who came before, faintly visible in the wind and snow.

"Stay close! Watch out for the ice crevasses!"

The guide turned around and called out, his voice sounding somewhat faint in the wind.

He was clearly also a second-tier transcendent being; his figure moved with incredible speed, traversing the rugged ice surface as if it were flat ground.

Lin Kang and the others dared not delay and immediately activated their qi and blood to follow.

Second-tier extraordinary individuals possess physical strength and speed far exceeding those of ordinary people.

Even in such extremely harsh conditions, running at full speed is several times faster than that of an ordinary person.

The environment here is even harsher.

But no one complained; everyone gritted their teeth and tried to adapt to the rhythm of this desolate place.

Physical exhaustion and harsh environment.

Instead, it lessened the unease of leaving the Great Wall's protection.

Traveling is tedious.

Especially on this desolate, white, and still ice field.

The scarred man who had been so friendly earlier, seemingly to ease the oppressive atmosphere and also for his own calculations, moved closer to the guide again, loudly asking while maintaining his rapid movement, "Brother! Thanks for leading the way! My name is Wang Meng, may I ask your surname?"

The guide glanced at him sideways, seemingly unbothered by the attempt to get close, and replied loudly, "My surname is Zhou, Zhou Yi! First Regiment Scout Team of Dawn City."

"So it's Brother Zhou!"

Wang Meng smiled broadly. "Brother Zhou, are there many people like us heading to Dawn City lately? If we go, we won't have nowhere to stay, will we?"

This question raised doubts in many people's minds.

Everyone subconsciously slowed down a bit and pricked up their ears.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi continued his pace without slowing down, but his voice carried the unique pride of a Dawn Warrior: "Many! A great many! Ever since Captain Fang cleaved the Arctic sky with that one slash, hundreds and thousands of people have been arriving from all directions every day. The convoy at the port's pick-up point has never stopped. Most of our scout team has now been deployed to guide and guard the route!"

He paused, then said firmly, "But don't worry! The conditions promised by Dawn City will be honored. As long as you come, every brother who is willing to fight to the death with Fate Ghost will be rewarded! No matter how many people come, their treatment and positions will only get better, never change! These are the rules personally set by Captain Fang and Captain Chu!"

"Great! That's satisfying!"

Wang Meng praised loudly, which relieved the hearts of the people following behind him, and made their faces look more expectant.

"Brother Zhou."

Wang Meng was clearly a good conversationalist, and immediately changed the subject to a more attractive one, "I heard that Dawn is about to make a big move? Is it really going to organize a large army to march to the front lines?"

Zhou Yi's eyes sharpened instantly.

Filled with the excitement of soldiers about to step onto the battlefield: "That's right! In the next few days, the target will be the most pressured points on the front line, with Captain Fang personally in command!"

These words instantly stirred up a commotion among the traveling group.

"Captain Fang is personally leading the team?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, their voice filled with excitement.

"Brother Zhou, tell me quickly, what are the rewards for this operation? I heard that Dawn's rewards are the highest in the Arctic?"

Wang Meng timely raised the most practical question.

Zhou Yi smiled, clearly very confident in Dawn's treatment: "That's for sure! The spoils from killing the Fate Demon are at least 20% higher than in any other city in the Arctic! This is written into Dawn's ironclad rules. Moreover, this is the first large-scale proactive attack since the establishment of our Dawn City, making it exceptionally significant. Captain Chu and Captain Wei have already stated that this battle will be rewarded according to merit!"

His voice rose, brimming with encouragement: "Those who make great contributions will not only have their personal residence guaranteed by Dawn City, but their families will also be able to enter the city and enjoy the highest level of security. A house will be allocated! Understand? Having a house in Dawn City is the strongest possible safety net for yourself and your family."

"What? Guarantee housing and family safety? Allocate housing?!"

Even Lin Kang and Duan Ling, who had been silently traveling, couldn't help but be moved.

In this precarious era, especially on the Arctic front where the deadly forces could launch a full-scale invasion at any moment.

A safe and secure base provides protection for your family, and its value far exceeds any amount of money or resources.

This is the deepest desire of almost all frontline soldiers.

These words were like a shot in the arm for everyone.

The fatigue from the long journey and harsh environment seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Killers protect humanity; this is their responsibility and their duty.

The promises made by the City of Dawn, on the other hand, are tangible guarantees and hopes.

The power is instantly maxed out!

The atmosphere became noticeably more lively for the rest of the journey.

As they hurried on their way, the group couldn't help but ask Zhou Yi for more information about the City of Dawn.

Details about the upcoming battle.

Zhou Yi spoke frankly and told everything he knew.

Four or five hours on the ice field.

Amidst the crowd running at full speed and engaging in lively conversation.

It suddenly didn't seem so long anymore.

As darkness fell completely, with only the wind and snow howling in his ears, Zhou Yi abruptly stopped after crossing a massive ice hill. Pointing ahead, his voice tinged with excitement, he exclaimed, "Look! Dawn City is just ahead!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the snowy night, at the edge of the dark blue icy sea in the distance.

A magnificent city, brightly lit.

Like a brilliant star embedded in the dark earth.

It suddenly caught everyone's eye!
A deep blue steel frame supports towering towers.

Countless sky corridors, flowing with silver-blue light, crisscross between the buildings.

The starry sky that covers the entire city.

Countless tiny, silvery-white specks of light flowed and flickered slowly.

It forms a deep and vast rotating sea of ​​stars.

It gently envelops the entire city.

The so-called modern metropolises in the heart of the Federation are like children's toys in the face of this war star standing on the icy sea.

Just as everyone was immersed in the visual impact of the City of Dawn.

Wang Meng suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Brother Zhou, it seems we haven't encountered a single Fate Ghost on our way here? Aren't Fate Ghosts supposed to be as numerous as hairs on a cow on the icy plains outside the Great Wall?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi grinned, displaying the fierceness and pride unique to Dawn Warriors: "That's because of the route we're taking. The ghosts around us have already been plowed up countless times by our Dawn's elite team. Anyone who dares to show their face won't even have bone fragments left. Captain Fang said that no beasts will be allowed to run wild at Dawn's doorstep."

These words carried a chilling aura, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.

A strong sense of security immediately followed.

With the threat at their doorstep cleared, Dawn City is not on the defensive, but rather taking the initiative.

They firmly control the initiative in the surrounding area.

"Let's go! Enter the city!"

Zhou Yi waved his hand.

He led the group quickly toward the magnificent city gate that shone with starlight.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the city's magnificent presence.

The gate, which is 100 meters high, is now open.

The entrance area was brightly lit and bustling with people.

As Zhou Yi said, people came to seek refuge in him in an endless stream.

A large, dark crowd formed a long queue, orderly passing through identity checks to enter the city.

The cacophony of voices, the roar of engines, and shouts to maintain order mingled together.

It created a bustling and lively scene.

"So many people."

Qu Zhe clicked his tongue in amazement.

The scene before them was several times more spectacular than at the port. "Welcome to Dawn City!" Zhou Yi's voice was filled with pride. "I'll take you to find a temporary place to stay and settle in. You'll have three days to adapt and consider which combat or logistical department you'd like to join. We'll send you a detailed list and instructions later. During these three days, you can move freely around the city and familiarize yourself with the environment."

As he spoke, he was about to lead everyone around the queue.

Towards a reception passage on the side of the city gate.

at this time.

"Team Leader Lin! Sister Ling! Qu Zhe!!!"

A voice filled with surprise rang out from the edge of the noisy crowd.

This voice is so familiar.

Lin Kang and the other two suddenly looked in the direction of the sound!

A figure was seen rushing out of the city gate.

With an incredulous, ecstatic expression on his face, who else could it be but Qi Hao?!

"Haozi?!"

Duan Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap! Qi Hao!!"

Qu Zhe jumped up excitedly.

Qi Hao rushed to the three of them in a few steps. He first hugged Qu Zhe, who was closest to him, tightly and patted him hard on the back. Then he looked at Lin Kang and Duan Ling, his eyes reddening with excitement: "Captain Lin! Sister Ling! It really is you! Why are you here?! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?! I could have picked you up at the port!"

His excited reaction and affectionate address.

This moment stunned Zhou Yi and the other supporters who had come in the same car.

Zhou Yi quickly stepped forward and respectfully greeted, "Brother Hao!"

Although Qi Hao is currently only at the second tier.

But he is Fang Qingyu's childhood friend.

Everyone in the entire City of Dawn knows him.

"Oh, Brother Zhou, thank you for your hard work!"

Qi Hao then noticed Zhou Yi and patted him on the shoulder as a greeting.

Then his gaze turned eagerly back to Lin Kang and the other two, his tone warm: "Leave these three to me! They are Qingzi, an old friend of Captain Fang, and I will arrange things for them personally."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Yi's reaction, he grabbed Qu Zhe with one hand and gestured with the other to lead Lin Kang and Duan Ling, then turned and walked into the city: "Come on, come on! Old Qin, Lü Chen and the others are here! Qingzi will be overjoyed to know you're here!"

Zhou Yi was left standing there dumbfounded, along with the dozen or so supporters who had come in the same car.

Messy in the wind.

Wang Meng stared wide-eyed as Qi Hao enthusiastically led Lin Kang and the other two away, their figures disappearing into the bustling crowd inside the city gate.

He glanced at Zhou Yi and the others beside him, whose expressions were complicated, and after a long while, he finally managed to say, "My goodness, Captain Fang's old friend? Why didn't they say so in the car?"

The City of Dawn.

The cultivation room on the top floor of the city lord's mansion.

Fang Qingyu sat cross-legged in the center.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was long and profound.

At this moment, Fang Qingyu was enjoying the thrill of cultivating at double the speed.

at this time.

The phone next to me suddenly rang.

Fang Qingyu slowly opened his starry eyes, and the swirling galaxy phantom flashed by.

He wasn't displeased at being interrupted during his cultivation; on the contrary, he was somewhat curious.

Others rarely disturbed him while he was cultivating.

Pick up your phone and open the message.

[Mouse: Qingzi, come quickly to the guest room! Team Leader Lin, Sister Ling, and that kid Qu Zhe are here!]

The short line of text brought a change to Fang Qingyu's usually calm face.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

An old friend has arrived.

The next moment, the starlight in the cultivation room suddenly intensified.

Fang Qingyu's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The top floor of the city lord's mansion.

The largest reception room.

The style here is completely different from the deep and mysterious training room. It is spacious and bright, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the brightly lit night view of Dawn City and the slowly rotating starry sky above.

At this moment, Qu Zhe and Duan Ling sat on the sofa, looking somewhat reserved.

Holding a steaming hot drink in her hands, her eyes couldn't help but wander around.

Even though he is a second-tier transcendent.

Here, one cannot help but feel one's own insignificance and an invisible pressure.

Not to mention.
This is Fang Qingyu's place.

You should know that Fang Qingyu was introduced to the school by them a long time ago.

At first, it didn't seem like there was much of a difference.

But once you get to this point, the difference becomes quite obvious.

Qi Hao, Lao Qin, Lü Chen, and Lao Qiao are some of the elderly people who served in the third squad of Longji Camp under the Qingjian City Shenguan Bureau back then.

They were sitting around it.

They tried their best to liven up the atmosphere.

"Sister Ling, try this. It's made with ingredients from the 'Life Ghost' spirit. The taste is so-so, but it's incredibly effective at refreshing and invigorating the mind!"

Qi Hao enthusiastically recommended it.

“Yes, Sister Ling, don’t be shy, just pretend you’re still at the Qingjian City Bureau,” Old Qin chimed in with a smile.

Duan Ling chuckled at his joke, her tension easing slightly. She looked at Qi Hao and asked, "Haozi, is Qingzi particularly busy right now? Will our sudden arrival bother him?"

"Busy? Of course I'm busy!"

Qi Hao waved his hand, "But no matter how busy I am, I have to come over as soon as you arrive! You are..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Snapped!"

A sharp flick landed on Qi Hao's head without warning.

"Ouch!" Qi Hao was caught off guard and cried out in pain, clutching his head.

Fang Qingyu had silently appeared behind him without him noticing.

A familiar smile graced her face as she looked past him.

It landed on Lin Kang and the other two people on the sofa.

"Team Leader Lin, Sister Ling."

Fang Qingyu's voice was clear and gentle, filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up at the port."

That familiar tone, those smiling eyes.

In an instant, the last bit of awkwardness and unfamiliarity that Duan Ling and Qu Zhe felt due to their differences dissipated.

"Aoko!"

Duan Ling stood up in surprise.

"Holy crap, Fang Qingyu, you scared me to death!"

Qu Zhe jumped up, pointing at Fang Qingyu, his face beaming with undisguised excitement and joy, the tension from before completely gone. "And another thing, if you're not calling me 'brother,' what about me?! You only call Captain Lin and Sister Ling? What about me?!"

Seeing that his unrequited love was fruitless, Fang Qingyu turned to his old friend who was getting married.

His smile deepened as he teased, "Oh, why didn't you bring your wife?"

The atmosphere instantly became warm and harmonious.

It felt like I was back in the days at the Qingjian City Shenguan Bureau.

A rare smile of relaxation appeared on Lin Kang's usually stern face.

Fang Qingyu walked over with a smile and sat down naturally on the sofa next to Lin Kang.

"Where's Wu Yan? And the others from the bureau? Why didn't they come with us?"

Wu Yan was one of the few good friends Fang Qingyu had when he participated in the special training course of the Divine Administration Bureau.

He is also the son of the director of the Qingjian City Shenguan Bureau.

Qu Zhe curled his lip: "He hasn't even touched the threshold of the second stage yet."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu smiled and did not ask any further questions.

The fact that Wu Yan and the others didn't come might not be a bad thing.

After all, coming to the Arctic means fighting.

War always results in death.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Qingyu's smile gradually faded.

They became serious and earnest.

His gaze swept over Lin Kang and the other two, and he said in a deep voice, "Team Leader Lin, Sister Ling, Qu Zhe, now that you're here, why don't you stay?"

The three of them were slightly startled.

Fang Qingyu didn't give them much time to think and went straight to the point: "Stay here and help me. I don't have many people who can lead a team right now, and you guys happen to have experience."

As he spoke, Fang Qingyu took out a box from behind him.

put it on the table.

With a flick of the finger, the lid of the box popped open automatically with a click.

In an instant.

A rich red light poured out from inside the box.

It was filled with second-tier Qi and Blood Crystals and Life Beads.

In the end, there was no scene of pleading or making excuses.

At least Lin Kang understood the significance of the resources Fang Qingyu provided them.

This is not charity.

Rather, it's because of this special period.

The three of them were among the few people Fang Qingyu trusted.

And Qi Hao and the others were joking around on the side.

This is the treatment that everyone around Qingzi receives; he can't possibly use these resources to cultivate people he doesn't know.

Lin Kang took a deep breath, and the hesitation in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Without looking at the box of resources, he looked directly at Fang Qingyu and asked:
"Where is the training room?"

a few days later.

The City of Dawn.

City Lord's Mansion Square.

This plaza is located directly above the deep-sea fortress complex.

The atmosphere was quite noisy at the moment.

The central area of ​​the square was deserted, but long guns and microphones were set up at the edges of the square.

It was packed with people from various rear cities in the Arctic.

Even the journalists on federal soil who are responsible for documenting extraordinary events.

They carried all sorts of camera equipment, their expressions a mixture of excitement and tension.

The camera focused entirely on the open space in the center of the square.

The army of Dawn City is about to set out!

This will be the first large-scale proactive attack since the founding of Dawn City.

Moreover, it was personally led by Fang Qingyu, who left behind many legends in the Arctic.

Its significance is so profound that it is enough to shake the entire human race.

Therefore, under Hong Qitian's personal instruction...

Dawn City made an exception and opened up some interview permissions.

Allow the media to record this historic moment to boost morale and unite the people.

Fang Qingyu was not originally interested in this kind of public appearance.

But we can't refuse to give Old Man Hong face.

Ultimately, it was agreed that Wei Banmeng would represent the City of Dawn.

He gave an interview before departing for the expedition.

The time indicates the scheduled moment.

hum!
A cold, clear stream of light fell silently from the top of the city lord's mansion, landing precisely in the center of the square.

The light dissipated.

Wei Banmeng's aloof and stunningly beautiful figure was revealed.

His cool and aloof face remained completely unmoved under the scrutiny of countless searchlights and cameras.

Her appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of all the media.

The shutter clicked like popping beans, and the flashes went off one after another.

Wei Banmeng calmly swept her gaze across the dark mass of reporters in front of her.

A cool, clear voice echoed throughout the square.

"Gentlemen, Dawn will be setting off in 30 minutes."

You have 10 minutes left to ask questions.
