Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 69 Forecast

Rumble rumble~

This operation was quite large in scale, with all the hunters participating. The Light and Shadow Society's support team, led by Sharif, consisted of twenty people, and the Dust People filled two or three vehicles.

As the convoy drove onto the lift platform in a grand procession, Ran Bing couldn't sit still any longer. "I'm going to go find her."

"There she is!" Erica exclaimed in delight, pointing.

Erii was seen skipping lightly across the railing, waving goodbye to the three children, including 9033, who were not far away.

"Bon Voyage!"

"Captain Mark has returned in triumph!"

"The Lord of Light and Shadow will protect you all!"

Amidst cheers and blessings, the platform began to descend.

From the terrace of the city lord's bedroom, Morgan looked down at the bustling crowd and was glad that he hadn't severely punished the hunters yesterday.

"So you also want to weaken the Light and Shadow Society?" Victor, who was studying a chess game behind him, asked calmly.

"Mark is the most suitable person to succeed the city lord. Charles is not suitable. The Light and Shadow Society is too aggressive now. It might not be a bad thing if those troublemakers under him died," Morgan replied.

He was like an aging emperor, and Mark and Charles were like pawns under his control. It seemed that whoever could sit on the throne depended entirely on his word.

"As for Erii—let's observe her further. The lighthouse will eventually run out of fuel, so we need to prepare in advance—"

Listening to his old friend's ramblings, Victor remained silent, increasingly unable to understand the situation before him. He couldn't fathom whether the city lord's move was a stroke of good luck, a dangerous gamble, or a self-inflicted grave.

the other side.

Charles's face was ashen, his fingertips trembling as he looked at the Lightbringer lying on the hospital bed, whose head had been blown off.

Who is this headless, twisted lump of rotten flesh?

Where did my meticulous, flirtatious, exhibitionist secretary go?

"Have you found out yet? Who is it?!" he growled uncontrollably.

"We've already retrieved the surveillance footage." Fan Lu was equally furious, his whole body convulsing, his teeth chattering violently as he spoke.

"Head of the Society, look." Ned, a high-ranking member of the Light and Shadow Society, took out a tablet and pulled up a video.

The source was the surveillance camera above the three people's heads.

The door in the scene is pushed open, and the guard stands up as his head is severed from his body, followed by his red hair flying in the air.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

When the intruder turned around, her fair and beautiful face came into view. The Radiant One was now in a miserable state. How she did it was not important. What mattered was who the murderer was.

"It's her?" Ned exclaimed in astonishment.

"Eri, I knew she had no good intentions going up to the lighthouse!" Vanlu shrieked.

Charles remained silent.

Suddenly, he recalled the bizarre deaths of Bri and the others a few days ago, and upon closer inspection of the Lightbringer's corpse, it was almost identical.

In an instant, he thought of many things. Rational considerations of interests and safety took over his mind. He realized that Erii was not someone he could easily manipulate or control. She was definitely not the innocent girl she seemed to be.

This shows that Erii already harbors resentment towards us, so we absolutely cannot let her return alive and threaten our position and life!

Thinking this, Charles hurried away, "Where did they go?"

"We've just arrived on the ground," Fan Lu followed closely behind.

Charles immediately took the communicator from her and switched to a private, encrypted channel. "Big Dog, find an opportunity to kill her."

Before he could say anything more, a sandstorm swept in, engulfing the lighthouse and blocking the electrical signal.

Charles pondered for a moment, then walked toward the city lord's hall.

"Tell Sengge to subdue Erii as soon as they return!"

"Your Excellency, Head of the Assembly," Brahma called out.

"Speak," Charles said without stopping.

“Three of the mortal children have a very good relationship with Erii,” said Brahma.

Charles paused, then turned back and said, "Arrest them. If Big Dog fails, we'll use them to coerce Erii into surrendering."

"What kind of weather is this! Cough cough cough, oops!"

Mo Cheng, who was leading the convoy on a motorcycle, cursed loudly and swallowed a mouthful of yellow sand as soon as he opened his mouth.

Inside the lead armored vehicle, Bing drove, while Mark repeatedly checked the operational plan from the passenger seat.

Erica and Erii were in the back row. Erica turned her head with great concern and sighed helplessly, "Captain, won't we be held accountable if we go back?"

"I'll take responsibility for my own actions," Erii answered first.

Mark spread his hands helplessly, "They're already down. When we move them, we'll have the three of them stay in the car and not move."

Wow! So this is what the ground looks like!

"Is that a mountain? It's so tall!"

"Eri-neechan, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have said I wanted to see what the ground looked like."

The three people who were talking peered out from the back row, taking in the desolate scenery outside with great excitement. Even so, it was better than the monotonous and oppressive atmosphere of the Dust City.

Three seconds before the platform was about to launch, Erii picked up the three children without hesitation and brought them into the convoy.

It wasn't a capricious act, but rather a well-considered judgment.

She worried that her killing of the Lightbringer might have unjustly angered these three innocent little ones, so she anticipated that it would be better for them to follow her to the safe ground overrun by Devouring Beasts than to leave them in the extremely dangerous Lighthouse.

The sandstorm did slow down the journey, but it also formed a natural barrier, protecting the convoy and ensuring its safe arrival at its destination without being detected by the Devouring Beasts.

This is a canyon, and along the way are old objects left over from the old world: cars, SUVs, metal road signs, streetlights, the remains of collapsed high-rise buildings, etc., all of which are severely weathered and have lost their bright colors over time.

"My God." Mo Cheng's shocked voice came through the communicator.

The convoy stopped, and Erii quickly got out of the car, looking up at the road ahead in disbelief.

It was a crashed interstellar spaceship, the body lying head down with its rear end raised, the two huge turbine engine nozzles exuding a post-apocalyptic sci-fi vibe.

Seeing this, Erii gained a more intuitive understanding of the technological level of the Ling Cage world.

She thought that the firearms of the old world of Ling Cage might be able to completely destroy the dragon civilization.

Erica mentioned that lighthouses seem to all have a railgun?

"Get moving!" Mark issued the order swiftly and decisively. "Jeff, you lead Team Two to hold this position here. Team One, come with me to Area A!"

The crowd split in two, with Erii naturally following Zaibing, while the Light and Shadow Society's support team also silently followed behind them.

Ten minutes later.

After all the teams were deployed, Mark led the hunters into the spaceship ruins, with Sharif and the others trailing behind like little shadows.

The interior appears to be quite safe, with no alarms or abnormalities detected by the detectors.

"Be quick about it," Ran Bing instructed in a low voice.

The dust-people laborers rushed to each room and began scavenging and moving all sorts of supplies, including daily necessities, nuclear power devices, batteries, fuel, and more. After all, this spaceship was going to leave Earth, so it naturally had plenty of supplies.

"What's going on with this spaceship?" Penny asked.

"The immigrant ships that were in the early stages of the disaster were attacked before they even took off," Donnie explained.

"Who are the people who can get on this spaceship?" Ran Bing muttered.

"They're either rich or noble, that's all. Ordinary people have long been abandoned on the ground and turned into fertilizer," Mo Cheng laughed.

"Where did everyone on that ship go?" Erii looked around curiously, feeling as if she were actually playing a science fiction horror game.

Mark pushed open a door, revealing an unexplored passageway. He raised his chin and said, "It's all in here."

Erii's gaze pierced through the gap and she saw a dense mass of figures standing stiffly.

They remained silent, as if waiting for newcomers to arrive.
