The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

"You're right."

Su Muyun was persuaded by Ye Xiao and stopped worrying about it.

The bus swayed and rocked.

A few hours later.

The vehicle finally slowly drove into [Red Cliff Fortress].

But this was Ye Xiao's second time here.

He could clearly sense it.

Chiya Fortress is somewhat different from before.

Its appearance hasn't changed much.

However, the air was thick with the atmosphere of martial law.

and.

The number of people moving around Chiyabao has also decreased significantly.

On the contrary, Chiya Fortress seemed rather deserted.

The bus came to a stop.

A group of students got off the bus with great excitement.

Then they stopped at Chiya Fort to take a look.

"Is this Red Cliff Fortress?"

"A frontline base for humanity's fight against monsters—I never imagined I'd have the chance to come here!"

"I really want to have a big battle with a monster to test just how strong I really am."

"Give me a break. We're here to help with logistics, not to fight monsters on the front lines."

"But what exactly does this logistical work involve? I'm quite curious."

"......"

Just then.

A robust and imposing man walked towards the crowd.

As soon as he appeared, Aqing and the other leaders all stood at attention.

Then they all shouted in unison, "Team Leader Zhao!"

That sound.

This also silenced the noisy students on the field.

Many students had heard about Chiyuan Fortress before they came.

The man in front of me is called "Team Leader Zhao".

He was the commander-in-chief of Chiya Fort.

and so.

After Captain Zhao appeared, all the students immediately lost their relaxed attitude.

It seems to be due to the serious atmosphere at the front-line base.

This made everyone unconsciously stand up straight.

Team Leader Zhao approached the group of students.

He announced loudly, "First of all, on behalf of Chiyabao, I welcome the outstanding students from Jiangda University!"

"Since everyone here is a top student from Jiangnan University, and has gone through round after round of selection, the elite of the elite who have survived the test of time."

"Then I won't say too many polite words, courteous remarks, or even nonsense!"

"Red Cliff Fort invited everyone here to help with logistics!"

"Logistics work includes simple tasks such as cleaning, cooking, cleaning the weapons depot, organizing the Crimson Abyss records, monster records, and so on."

"The challenging tasks include surveying the Crimson Abyss world, climate surveying, and environmental surveying, among others."

"When necessary, we will need your help in manufacturing weapons, equipment, ammunition, and other items."

Team Leader Zhao rattled off a whole bunch of things.

He explained everything the students were to do in advance.

After finishing speaking.

Team Leader Zhao gestured to a man with a buzz cut behind him.

The man had a scar on his face, which appeared to be a mark left during a battle.

He stepped forward and said, "I will be in charge of the logistics of Crimson Abyss Fortress. From today onwards, you will all follow me."

"Now, please follow me."

Led by the man, the group of teachers and students from Jiang University headed to the logistics building of Chiyuan Fort.

Ye Xiao and Su Muyun, who were at the back of the group, were originally going to go along with them.

But just as they were about to leave...

Suddenly, Captain Zhao shouted something to Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao, come here."

Many students in the group heard it.

I witnessed Ye Xiao being called out by Captain Zhao alone.

then.

Ye Xiao left the group, but he took Su Muyun with him when he left.

Su Muyun said in a low voice, "Captain Zhao is looking for you alone. Why did you bring me here?"

Ye Xiao replied in a low voice, "You don't really want to do logistics, do you? Have you forgotten why we came here?"

Su Muyun nodded: "I remember, we need to find a way to enter the Crimson Abyss World."

When Ye Xiao and Su Muyun arrived in front of Captain Zhao.

Ye Xiao was the first to smile.

He saluted Captain Zhao and shouted in a clear voice, "Greetings, Captain Zhao!"

A rare smile appeared on Captain Zhao's usually serious face.

The soldiers nearby witnessed this scene.

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost.

To know.

During this period, Captain Zhao did not have a smile on his face at all.

Moreover, many things happened at Chiyabao.

This plunged the entire Chiyabao Fortress into a state of low pressure.

This led to a situation where no one dared to laugh.

Team Leader Zhao patted Ye Xiao's shoulder forcefully.

"Good lad, it's been a while since I last saw you. Your cultivation level hasn't improved, but your body has become much stronger."

"You really are a born martial arts prodigy!"

Ye Xiao readily accepted Zhao's praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Captain Zhao."

Then, Ye Xiao went straight to the matter from the last time.

"Team Leader Zhao, there's something I need to thank you for."

"What is it?"

"Regarding the Fist of Forbidden Magic, you spent 5 military merits to have Wang Hou bring it to me."

"Hahaha! You remember to do such a small thing so clearly."

"This is no small matter! It's 5 military merits! I've always kept it in mind. I owe Captain Zhao a favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

When Captain Zhao heard Ye Xiao say that...

Moreover, for a teenager of this age to have such character and demeanor is remarkable.

This made Captain Zhao look at Ye Xiao with even greater respect.

"good!"

Team Leader Zhao patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder again: "Since you've put it that way, wouldn't it be unreasonable for me to refuse?"

"Well, I actually do need your help with something."

Ye Xiao nodded.

"Team Leader Zhao, what is it? I'll do my best to help if I can."

Team Leader Zhao said, "Regarding the patrol team, most of the patrol personnel from Crimson Cliff Fortress have gone into the Crimson Abyss World to carry out missions, but they haven't returned yet."

"Right now, there's a gap in the patrol schedule at Red Cliff Fortress. Normally, this kind of thing shouldn't be involving you students, but considering your previous patrol experience, I have no choice but to..."

Ye Xiao could see Zhao's embarrassment, and he nodded with a smile.

"No problem, Captain Zhao! I can handle the patrol duties."

"Just tell me how you want to arrange it!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's straightforwardness, Zhao's embarrassment vanished considerably.

He said, "Currently, there are no vacancies in the schedules from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.

"Ye Xiao, which time slot would you like to schedule for patrols?"

"The woman next to you must be Su Muyun, the famous campus belle of Jiang University."

"I heard you two are already dating?"

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, and Su Muyun next to him blushed slightly.

"Captain Zhao, how come you're so well-informed?"

"How could someone as far away as Chiya Fort know what happened at Jiang University?"

Team Leader Zhao laughed heartily.

"Ye Xiao, you've underestimated your girlfriend's reputation!"

"The rising star of the Su family, one of the twelve noble families; the owner of an SSS-level profession; currently the youngest at the Fifth Realm; a future female sword immortal..."

"These titles alone, within our circle, represent a very high level of recognition."

Hearing Captain Zhao's praise...

Su Muyun felt embarrassed and looked to Ye Xiao for help.

And this time.

Ye Xiao changed the subject from the jokes to the serious topic.

"Team Leader Zhao, Su Muyun and I are in the same team. We are responsible for patrolling from 9 pm to 12 am."
