Chapter 46: Stone of Life
Soon, Commander Zhao brought the group of grandmasters to the hall.
“Students, it was the city’s negligence that led to the disaster of Qu City High School. On behalf of the Huadong City, I hereby apologize to you!” Commander Zhao bowed.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause sounded in the auditorium.
No one expected the high and mighty war prodigy of the Huadong City to apologize to them.
“The city will handle the casualties well…” After speaking for a while, Commander Zhao left with the other grandmasters.
The school leaders arranged for the teachers to let the students leave the hall in an orderly manner.
For the next three to four days, the school was immersed in the mourning of the casualties.
In addition, the corpses of the foreign races were being cleaned and the buildings were being repaired systematically.
…
Yang Garden Residence.
Zhou Hao, who was lying in bed, opened the virtual screen.
Luck Points: 67,200 (Current level: overwhelming luck)
Nothing had changed. For the past few days, he had not been in the mood to leave the city to kill foreign races in the wilderness.
Although the parents of the students who had died had received a lot of compensation, the pain of losing their children was still not relieved.
Zhou Hao’s parents had been glad that Zhou Hao was fine. For the past few days, they would get off work early every night because they were worried that something would happen to Zhou Hao when they went out.
This made Zhou Hao not know whether to laugh or to cry. With his peak-level grandmaster combat strength, how could he ever get hurt? It was more likely for him to hurt others.
However, the city’s security checks were indeed much stricter than before. There were patrols on every street.
At 10: 30 pm, after sensing that his parents were asleep, Zhou Hao got out of his house and left Yang Garden Residence.
It was impossible for him to stay at home forever. If he wanted to open a better item in the silver mystery box of the Heaven Dao software, he had to accumulate more luck points.
The current 60,000 luck points was far from enough. Zhou Hao planned to accumulate at least 1,000,000 luck points this time. After all, when he first opened the ordinary mystery box and obtained the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique, he had used 1,000,000 luck points.
Now that it was a silver mystery box, the items inside were much better than ordinary mystery boxes. If he used the one million luck points, he believed that he could definitely get a better item!
Moreover, he also wanted to level up and become a gold user to see if there would be any other changes to the mystery box.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the moonlight, Zhou Hao moved quickly and arrived at the Southern Station City defense line.
Click.
The Black Tortoise Set turned into a red armor that covered his entire body.
Just as he reached the metal door of the base, Battalion Commander Chu appeared.
He looked at the red-armored Zhou Hao and said excitedly, “May I ask if you’re the senior who killed the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator?”
Zhou Hao did not hesitate and nodded.
He had changed into red armor and was already prepared to be recognized.
Of course, the reason why he did this was mainly because he wanted to borrow the strength of the military. After all, the wilderness area was too large. To accurately find some king-level demon beasts and insect beasts, he needed a map.
Battalion Commander Chu hurriedly said, “Sir, there’s something you should know. Commander Zhao ordered me to invite you to the East Station defense line if I encounter you.”
Zhou Hao was surprised. “Officer Zhao wants me to go to the East Station defense line? How come?”
Zhou Hao respected Commander Zhao quite a bit after witnessing his performance in the school’s auditorium.
Battalion Commander Chu immediately explained the matter.
It turned out that Commander Zhao had planned to work together with the other grandmasters to conduct a cleanup operation in the wilderness. His main goal was to find and kill the hidden shadow insects.
Zhou Hao suddenly understood. The reason why the foreign beasts that had attacked Qu City High School could hide from detection was mainly because of the shadow insects. If they did not get rid of them, the city would definitely continue to be attacked in the future.
“Sure.”
With that said, his figure disappeared from his original spot.
Battalion Commander Chu smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that this senior was indeed swift and decisive.
At the East Station defense line, Chief Zhao sensed Zhou Hao the moment he appeared.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seven to eight figures, including Commander Zhao, flashed in front of Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao couldn’t help but jump in fright.
His senses were sharp, and he could naturally sense that these people’s auras were incomparably powerful. They were definitely grandmasters.
Commander Zhao laughed and said, “Sir, I’ve finally got to see you!”
“Yeah, it’s not easy!”
“After searching for two to three times, we finally got to see him in person!”
He Biao and the other grandmasters laughed and sighed.
Zhou Hao was puzzled and asked curiously, “Commander Zhao, it sounds like you’re quite familiar with me. Do you know me?”
Commander Zhao explained the entire situation.
Only then did Zhou Hao realize that this group of grandmasters had been following him ever since he killed the Iron Tooth Dragon Alligator. They even knew that he had sold the materials.
He couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had left quickly. Otherwise, if he was recognized by these grandmasters, it would be very difficult for him to have peaceful days in the future.
“Commander Zhao, I heard from Battalion Commander Chu that the city is preparing to conduct a cleanup operation? Please tell me the exact arrangements!” Zhou Hao did not plan on chatting with these grandmasters and went straight to the point.
After all, his true realm was only at the martial artist level.
If he interacted with them too much, he would easily be exposed.
Commander Zhao immediately said, “That’s right. The foreign races are too arrogant. They actually attacked the students in the city. If we don’t teach them a lesson, they will definitely be even more unbridled.”
“For this cleanup operation, I plan to split everyone into four groups. Each group will have two people and will be in charge of the four directions.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and continued, “Right, may I know your name?”
“Just call me Old Zhou. There’s no need to be so polite,” Zhou Hao said casually.
“Old, Old Zhou,” Commander Zhao said awkwardly as he wasn’t used to it. “You and I won’t be in any of the groups. Our mission is mainly to support the others. Of course, we can also move around freely when the other teams are not in danger!”
Zhou Hao pondered for a moment and nodded. “Alright.”
The other grandmasters did not say a word. Clearly, they had long known of the plan.
At this moment, Chief Zhao suddenly took out a green crystal stone.
The crystal emitted a cool aura.
“A Life Stone!!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
