Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 54 Kyoto Base City

An hour later, Jiang Lan, dressed in full combat gear, appeared in front of the supply base near City 003.

The outer wall of this supply base is much higher than that of the previous Southeast Military Region, and the cannons mounted on the top of the wall have a much larger caliber, making them look even more menacing.

Above the wall, there are many fully armed soldiers patrolling; it is no exaggeration to say that the security is extremely tight.

Jiang Lan felt that with the defenses of this supply base, even if a lord-level monster came, it probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

"Hello, please show your identification."

Just as Jiang Lan was looking around, a soldier in military uniform saluted him from in front of the sentry post.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Lan realized what was happening, took out the martial artist's certificate that she had prepared in advance from her bag, and said to the soldier, "This is my martial artist's certificate."

The soldier took the identification document expressionlessly and affixed it to a black machine next to him.

"Beep—"

On the screen above the black machine, lines of information about Jiang Lan immediately appeared.

Upon seeing the young man's photo on the screen, and the large words "Intermediate War God" at the end, the soldier's breath hitched slightly.

An eighteen... no, a seventeen-year-old intermediate-level war god?

Although the information shows that he will be turning eighteen soon.

However, even at eighteen years old, the title of Intermediate War God is sometimes a bit too outrageous.

The soldier was somewhat incredulous, and even suspected for a moment that the machine was broken.

But he knew that the machines were all distributed uniformly from above and were fully networked.

Even though it has been used for many years, this machine has never broken down once.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, the soldier quickly took Jiang Lan's martial arts certificate and handed it to her with both hands.

Only after Jiang Lan received the martial arts certificate did he continue:

"Lord War God, please wait a moment."

Jiang Lan was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

How could this soldier know he was a war god?

But when Jiang Lan looked at the martial arts certificate in his hand, he immediately understood.

Although his certificate still lists him as an intermediate-level warrior, the Limitless Martial Arts Academy had already updated his information on the official martial arts website long ago.

However, because he left in such a hurry, the martial arts school hadn't had time to change his identification documents yet.

In this world, the internet is far more advanced than in Jiang Lan's previous life.

Therefore, martial arts information has long been fully networked, just like Jiang Lan's ID card, and even more convenient.

Just as Jiang Lan was figuring things out, the soldier from before handed over a bunch of keys with both hands again.

"Lord War God, your rest area is in Villa A8."

Jiang Lan took the keys and suddenly asked:

"When will the train returning to base city arrive?"

There is also a station in the supply base, so you can return directly to the base city.

"Where are you headed, War God? To Jiangnan Base City?"

Jiang Lan originally wanted to say yes, but he swallowed the words back as soon as they reached his lips.

After a slight pause, Jiang Lan changed his words:

Are there trains to Kyoto base city?

"Wait a moment, let me take a look."

After the soldier finished speaking, he picked up something that looked like a tablet computer and started tapping on it for a while.

A moment later, he looked up excitedly at Jiang Lan and said:

"Some War Gods, coincidentally, the next train bound for Kyoto Base City arrives in three hours."

Thank you.

Jiang Lan thanked him and then walked straight into the supply base.

Following the signs, Jiang Lan hadn't walked far when a row of villas appeared in front of her.

Finding his villa number, he took out his key, opened the security door, and went inside.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Lan flicked his wrist, and two Body Tempering Pills, which looked extremely similar to glass marbles, appeared in his palm.

Originally, he planned to return to Mingyue Community or Huai'an Community next to the headquarters of the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and then make a breakthrough.

But when the soldier asked him that question, Jiang Lan suddenly felt something was amiss.

For him, breaking through from an ordinary martial artist to a planetary level was no small matter.

Although going back to break through will most likely not lead to any unexpected events, if he reveals his strength at this time, it will inevitably attract Zhuge Tao's questions.

If we tell Zhuge Tao, the matter might get reported to Hong.

Jiang Lan knew that even if Hong knew he was about to break through, it wouldn't matter.

But at this critical juncture, Jiang Lan didn't want to be distracted by trivial matters.

Why not find a quiet place where no one will bother us, and break through first?

Once he breaks through, he won't have so many worries anymore, and it won't be too late to contact Zhuge Tao then.

After letting her thoughts wander for a while, Jiang Lan took out her phone and dialed the order number posted on the coffee table.

Let's eat! (Going to Kyoto!)

……

……

Ten hours later.

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers traveling to the main urban area of ​​Kyoto, please collect your luggage and line up in an orderly manner to disembark..."

"Dear passengers..."

Jiang Lan stood up and casually took the tactical backpack, which was more than a meter tall, from above the seat.

As we lined up to get off the train, it was already past 3 a.m. outside.

However, the train station in the main urban area of ​​Kyoto base city was brightly lit and bustling with people, a scene of great liveliness.

After the RR virus outbreak, many people did die.

However, as humans and monsters fought, their original living space was further squeezed.

So although the total population is much smaller than before, the population density of the base city is several times higher than before the RR virus outbreak due to migration.

Just like this Kyoto base city, although it is the largest base city in the entire country, its permanent population has reached more than 200 million, close to 300 million.

Before the RR virus outbreak, Kyoto City had a total population of just over 20 million.

That's ten times more.

Although the base city has expanded considerably compared to before, the population is simply too large, so basically everywhere you look there are people.

Stepping out of the station, the streets outside were still bustling with activity.

Jiang Lan had no intention of joining in the fun, and after exiting the station, she casually hailed a taxi on the roadside.

"Driver, could you please take me to a real estate agency near the villa area? Also, the villas should ideally be in a secluded location."

The driver looked to be in his forties or fifties, and his face was very slick and oily.

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's words, he instantly deduced that Jiang Lan was a martial artist.

After all, in such a densely populated area, villas are a true luxury, something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Jiang Lan's immediate search for a villa, specifically one in a secluded location, clearly indicates she's a martial artist.

"Okay, please sit down. We'll be there in half an hour!"
