Civilization Paradise

Chapter 170 Departure (Bonus Chapter for the Alliance Leader's Hypocritical Simp) (Fourth Update)

When he graduated from the First Higher School of Yamashiro, if it weren't for his health condition, he might have actually joined a regular army like Shirakawa and the others.

"Of course it's true."

Yunyu and the others walked over and said with smiles.

Long Ming smiled as he listened to Yun Yu and the others' praise.

At this moment, Xiao Qi looked at Yun Yu and the others and asked.

"Is everything installed?"

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of."

"Alright, let's set off and meet up with the escort team."

Xiao Qi then gave orders to Yun Yu and the others.

Upon hearing this, Long Ming asked with some curiosity.

"Is there an escorting force?"

"Of course we have them, and they're regular troops too."

"Could it be the Stars Guild?!"

"bingo."

Xiao Qi replied with a smile.

"What about our guild's combat personnel?"

Long Ming turned his head and looked around, asking in confusion.

"They all went to the front lines with President Luo Xue."

Xiao Qi led Long Ming toward the military transport vehicle at the front.

"Oh I got it!"

Long Ming didn't say much after hearing this.

They quickly reached the military transport vehicle. Xiao Qi opened the driver's side door, climbed in, and sat in the driver's seat. He stretched out his foot to press the clutch pedal, but almost couldn't reach it.

Seeing this, Long Ming chuckled and said to Xiao Qi.

"I'll do it."

"Can you drive?"

Xiao Qi looked at Long Ming with some surprise.

"Isn't this basic operation?"

Long Ming replied calmly.

"But can your body withstand driving for a long time?"

Xiao Qi said to Long Ming with some concern.

"Yes, I'll do it."

At that moment, Johnny walked over and said...

"OK then!"

Long Ming thought about it for a moment and then didn't insist.

Johnny then climbed into the driver's seat, Xiaoqi and Longming sat in the passenger seat, and Yunyu sat in the back.

After a while.

Johnny started the military transport vehicle and led the convoy toward the downtown area.

As they passed through the military tunnel and arrived at the main road in the lower city, troop carriers converged from the branching roads.

Inside a military transport vehicle.

A rough voice came from Xiaoqi's wireless communication device.

"Hello, Commander Xia Qi, I am Captain Wu Zheng of the Third Legion! From now on, I will be in charge of your safety, and I hope you will follow my orders."

"Okay, thank you all."

Xiaoqi replied politely and then ended the call.

Upon hearing this, Long Ming looked at Xiao Qi with some surprise.

"You've become an officer? How come your rank seems higher than that Captain Wu Zheng's?"

"That's right, I'm now a junior supervisor in the logistics department of the Third Army Corps, and I'm a formally employed staff member."

Xiaoqi said very happily.

"Oh, by the way, was the entire guild conscripted?"

"Yes, but a few people have left the association, while most people have chosen to stay."

"Ah."

Long Ming nodded.

At this moment, Xiaoqi picked up the radio communication device, turned on the broadcast mode, and shouted to everyone.

"Everyone, we're about to leave Shancheng Mountain. If you need anything from the warehouse, please take it out now."

"clear."

A series of responses rang out. Thanks to the presence of the mechanical pillars, everyone in the three major cities could stay within the city as if they were in Star City, freely accessing the warehouse and shop interfaces.

However, once you leave the city, the bracelet will enter a "dungeon" mode, and almost all its functions will be disabled.

That's why Xiaoqi gave everyone a final reminder.

Soon after.

The transport convoy stopped at the checkpoint on the north side of Shancheng Mountain.

"Why did the car stop?"

Xiaoqi picked up the radio communication device and asked in confusion.

"We've reached the checkpoint; it will take a while to get through."

Captain Wu Zheng said in a deep voice.

"understood."

After Xiaoqi hung up the radio communication.

At this moment, Yunyu asked in bewilderment.

"What's going on? We're not escorting military supplies, are we being checked and inspected too?"

Upon hearing Yunyu's words, Long Ming leaned closer to the window, glanced at the outside, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The North Gate checkpoint at Shancheng Mountain has a total of sixteen exits, but normally only five or six need to be open. However, now that all of them are open, long queues of vehicles are forming as people head out of the city.

The vehicles leaving the city are a mixed bag, including old, secondhand vans, private cars, and motorcycles.

You can even see some people carrying weapons and tactical backpacks on foot.

They chatted excitedly as they walked.

"The time has finally come for us to make our big moves! This time, we must make a killing!"

"That's right, but isn't it too risky for us to go out like this? What if we die?"

"What are you afraid of! There's a saying that goes, 'Fortune favors the bold.' Are you planning to live a life of mediocrity, or are you going to take a gamble?"

"Gamble!"

"That's right. Besides, we're not stupid. At worst, we'll explore more carefully, avoid large city ruins, and scavenge some small buildings in the wild."

"Makes sense."

Upon seeing the convoy, the soldiers at the checkpoint immediately ran out to direct the evacuation of vehicles and personnel blocking the convoy, instructing them to cross the line and turn onto the lanes on either side.

"Too many people are leaving the city."

Long Ming turned to Xiao Qi and Yun Yu and said.

"Sigh, they all want to go out and explore to make a fortune. I don't understand why the city lord lifted the lockdown so quickly. Isn't this sending them to their deaths?"

Xiaoqi sighed and said.

“It can’t be suppressed. After all, strong suppression will only backfire and breed resentment. Moreover, towering trees cannot be grown in a greenhouse; they must eventually be baptized by storms.”

Long Ming calmly shared his insights.

"Long Ming, you know so much!"

Xiao Qi and the others thought Long Ming's words made a lot of sense.

"Fortunately."

Long Ming smiled.

At this point, the convoy began to slowly move towards the checkpoint.

Their convoy consisted of eight supply transport vehicles and five troop escort vehicles, totaling thirteen vehicles.

The convoy quickly passed through the checkpoint and continued driving along the highway.

Long Ming gazed out the window at the desolate wilderness, his thoughts drifting.

Early next morning.

The armored personnel carrier slowed down and stopped after traveling a short distance, then accelerated and drove forward again.

Yunyu and the others were so jolted by the ride that they almost threw up, and they couldn't sleep all night.

"Johnny, can you drive a little better?"

Yunyu couldn't help but shout at Johnny, who was driving.

"I can't do anything about it. The main road is too congested with cars, and some idiots even park their cars on the side of the road!"

Johnny wanted to go down and give them a good beating.

"Calm down."

Long Ming sighed and comforted him.

At that moment, Xiaoqi's radio communication device received a group notification from Captain Wuzheng.

"Listen up, everyone. Turn at the fork ahead and take the shortcut to reach the City of Okado's Sanctuary."

"Yes!"

A series of responses rang out.
