Chapter 137: Qilin’s Awakening, Earth Conference
On a tall building not far from the city center, the figures of the Train Crew appeared unknowingly.
“Too cruel! This lady is going to deal with them!”
Seeing the tragic scene that appeared below in just a few minutes, March 7th summoned the Lapis Sword and was about to rush down.
“Wait, have you forgotten Uncle Yang’s teachings? We can help them for a moment, but not for a lifetime. What appeared now are just a few vanguard troops. The local forces should be able to handle it, and it can just make the local forces vigilant and take it seriously, spurring them to strengthen themselves.” Meng Huaifeng stopped her.
“Then… then we can’t just stand by and watch, right?” March 7th anxiously jumped up and down.
“Of course not. A Xing, it’s up to you.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Leave it to me.”
Xing took out the Flame Spear, raised it high, and the Power of Preservation surged. An invisible shield enveloped everyone within a five-li radius of the city center.
Meng Huaifeng also logged into the Jing Yuan clone, activating Cloud Chant Technique: Healing. Pale green mist silently integrated into the bodies of the injured people before they arrived.
The Cloud Chant Technique, which could heal even the abnormal bodies of Pathfinders, was a piece of cake for healing a group of ordinary people. Regenerating severed limbs and eliminating diseases were commonplace, and even lifespans were imperceptibly increasing.
Unlike Belobog and the Scavenger World, which had already experienced the baptism of apocalyptic crises, the Earth of this world had not yet faced a crisis, and people lacked sufficient awareness.
If the Train Crew completely resolved the crisis directly, Earth might be tense for a while, but then return to its original state. Once the Train Crew left, if Earth encountered another crisis, it would require a huge price to fully awaken and enter a state of readiness.
As the saying goes, the Train Crew is not a babysitter. Just like in Belobog, the Train Crew only solved the Stellar Core for them; the Realm Splitting Creatures and the Ice Seal’s Destruction Legion were not completely cleared. In the Scavenger World, they only solved the Mana Ecology, and the Devouring Beasts were not fully cleared.
The Train Crew will lend a hand, but they also hope this world can become self-reliant and strong, growing to have the ability to protect itself.
Therefore, it’s necessary to let Earth feel a bit of a sense of crisis.
Of course, if the people of a certain world are truly hopeless and can’t be helped, the Train Crew can only resolve the crisis as much as possible within their capabilities.
Intense roaring sounds kept ringing out as one vehicle after another was hit and exploded.
One car rolled continuously on the ground, the entire vehicle completely deformed. The driver opened his eyes and touched himself all over, incredulously saying: “I… I’m actually not dead? Seems like I didn’t even get hurt? Too lucky!”
The driver looked at the burning car, pushed the car door intending to escape, but the completely deformed body trapped him inside. Xing’s shield protected him from harm but didn’t enhance his strength.
The flames on the car grew larger, and a trace of despair flashed in the driver’s eyes.
“Boom!”
The vehicle exploded, and the driver was blasted out, hanging on a utility pole.
“I… I’m not dead again? God… immortal? Thanks to the immortal’s protection!” The driver hugged the utility pole tightly, his lips trembling.
But how was he supposed to get down? Help!
Dozens of police cars had already arrived at the scene. Though the police were shocked by the alien invaders who seemed straight out of a sci-fi movie, they quickly blockaded the area and guided the crowd to evacuate.
Some police with better marksmanship drew their service pistols and shot at the Taotie Warriors flying in the air.
The bullets hit the mecha without causing any harm and were deflected.
The Taotie’s counterattack came immediately, and one police car after another was hit and exploded.
Qilin desperately tried to aim at possible weak points on the Taotie mecha, but the handgun’s range and lethality were too weak, and the Taotie’s speed was too fast; she couldn’t do it at all.
A bit closer! A bit slower! A bit more accurate!
Qilin unknowingly exposed herself from cover.
A laser shot toward Qilin.
Am I going to die?
Qilin’s pupils contracted, and the world suddenly became unprecedentedly clear in her eyes. Time seemed to slow down; she could see the laser inching closer to her.
Can’t dodge.
Qilin ignored the laser, aimed at the eyes of the Taotie Warrior that were nearly stationary in her vision, and pulled the trigger.
The world seemed to return to normal. The laser hit Qilin’s chest, and the immense force sent her flying backward, crashing to the ground.
So after exceeding a certain level of pain, you can’t feel the pain anymore?
Lying on the ground, Qilin let her mind wander.
Why haven’t I died yet?
After a while, Qilin strangely got up from the ground. Facing an attack that blew up a vehicle with one shot, not only did she not die, she wasn’t even injured.
Looking at the other colleagues who were hit, they were also alive, all with expressions of excitement or bewilderment.
Qilin’s bullet accurately hit the Taotie Warrior’s eye.
“Damn, that scared me.” The Taotie Warrior looked at the slight crack on his goggles and cursed.
“The situation seems off. Why can’t we kill these people?” a Taotie Warrior asked strangely.
“Could it be Earth’s Super Warriors taking action?”
“What Super Warrior could protect so many people under our guns? Have you heard of this technology?”
“Never heard of it, but it’s happening right now.”
“Could our weapons have been tampered with?”
“Try shooting me.”
The Taotie Warrior didn’t hesitate and, upon hearing the request, shot the shoulder of the Taotie Warrior who made it.
“Boom!”
The hit Taotie Warrior spun in the air a few times before landing on the ground, the mecha at his shoulder completely shattered.
“Damn, the gun’s fine. We can’t kill them—must be a god intervening. Retreat quick!” The Taotie Warrior said in alarm.
“If there’s really a god, why not just take us out directly instead of bothering to protect those lowly creatures?”
“Idiot, you still want the god to act against us directly?”
Several Taotie Warriors unhesitatingly flew into the air, planning to withdraw.
Casualties weren’t many; all were caused before Meng Huaifeng and the others arrived, but the city center was already a mess.
This scene should be enough for Earth to take it seriously.
The Taotie were already planning to run, and the military district’s helicopters had only just arrived; the heavy firepower was still far off, so obviously they couldn’t be kept.
“Finally my turn! This lady’s newly learned sword technique!”
March 7th excitedly flew toward the retreating Taotie Warriors.
“Star Shattering Universe, Great Glazed Sword!”
A cold light slashed across all the Taotie Warriors’ bodies, followed by terrifying cold air erupting from the slash wounds, instantly freezing the Taotie Warriors—who were already bisected—into a single block, crashing to the ground.
Compared to simply smashing people with ice sticks before, March 7th’s Star Shattering Universe Great Glazed Sword finally had some swordsmanship to it.
Congratulations!
“How’s this lady’s swordsmanship?”
March 7th flew back and asked expectantly, looking like she wanted praise.
“Awesome!” Meng Huaifeng gave a thumbs up.
“Looks like Little March has been working hard lately; her swordsmanship has entered the hall and entered the room.” Welt also praised, though who knows how much water was in his words.
“Hehe.” March 7th happily squinted her eyes.
“Not as good as General Jing Yuan’s Illuminating Myriad Rivers.” Xing said.
“A Xing, don’t make me elbow you when I’m happy. Of course I’m not as good as General Jing Yuan yet, but Master Jingliu also taught me Illuminating Myriad Rivers.” March 7th gave Xing a look.
“Let’s head back. Things are probably about to get unsettled soon.” Welt said.
“Mm.” Meng Huaifeng nodded.
Suddenly feeling a gaze, Meng Huaifeng turned to look and saw a youthful and stunningly beautiful policewoman looking their way.
She can see us from so far—has she awakened her gene?
Meng Huaifeng smiled back and waved his hand to teleport everyone back to the villa.
From afar, Qilin watched the Taotie Warriors suddenly turn into ice blocks and fall. Her first generation Super Gene unconsciously activated. She saw a red figure fly from the Taotie Warriors’ crash site toward the rooftop of a tall building, where three more people were.
Did they kill the invaders? And they protected everyone from dying?
Qilin recalled the strange incident in Ju Xia City a few days ago—a chain car crash with no injuries, not even damaged vehicles. This time, though items weren’t protected, the protection for people was extremely similar.
Are they from that train? They don’t look any different from Earthlings.
Qilin suddenly saw someone looking her way, even smiling.
He noticed me.
While Qilin was still thinking how to respond, the four had already vanished into thin air.
Qilin touched her chest where the laser had hit earlier and silently said in her heart.
“Thank you for saving me, for saving everyone.”
In the villa, Yan, dressed in casual home clothes, sat boldly on the sofa watching TV.
“Just a few Taotie Warriors, why’d it take so long?” Yan asked the returning group.
“You say that? As an Angel, shouldn’t you take the initiative to strike against evil in such a situation?” Meng Huaifeng counter-questioned.
“This planet has Deno Remnants and the Superdimension Academy; they don’t welcome Angels appearing. If I act, they might think I’m stealing the spotlight and infringing on their sovereignty.” Yan pouted: “Besides, didn’t you go? Still need me to act?”
“I see in just a few days, you’re about to become a waste Angel.” Meng Huaifeng gently shook his head.
“Sigh, fine. Since other forces have appeared, the Angels do need to show up. I’ll head out first.” Yan used Micro Wormhole Technology to change into armor and flew out of the apartment.
The next day, military base conference room.
“When the Taotie Civilization invaded, phenomena basically identical to the train’s appearance occurred, so we can basically confirm the train forces intervened and are helping Earth. We can preliminarily define the train forces as friendly.”
“Not long after, Angel International in Tianhe City welcomed an Angel who claimed to be a true Angel from the Angel Civilization. According to Deno Three’s records, the Angel Civilization…, anyway, they shouldn’t be harmful to Earth. Suggest establishing communication with the Angels as much as possible. However, neither Earth tech nor Deno Three can locate their whereabouts at all.” Du Kao said.
“Unknown train forces, Taotie Civilization, Angel Civilization, plus our Lieyang Civilization—didn’t expect such a lively little Earth.” Lana, who had just arrived on Earth not long ago, sighed.
“Can we find the train forces? See if we can pull them to our side.” Elder Huang asked.
“I’m working on it, but they also have tech to shield Dark Plane information, so we can’t directly locate them. Fortunately, satellites captured their figures yesterday; it shouldn’t take long to find them.” Lian Feng said.
Meng Huaifeng shielded the Train Crew’s information to guard against Karl and the Great Clock. If he wanted, he could also make satellites unable to capture them, but since aliens had already begun invading, it was time for the Train Crew to exchange with the local forces, so he didn’t deliberately hide.
“Good. Though Earth has many friendly alien forces helping, we can’t fully rely on them. Earth should have its own armed forces. Old Du, the Black Great Wall plan has been in preparation for years—execute it soon. Call it Xiong Bing Lian.” Elder Huang said.
“Yes, Leader!” Du Kao saluted.
After Lana, Du Kao, and other non-pure Earthlings left, the meeting continued.
“Elder Huang, Xiong Bing Lian—really hand it to Du Kao? Though I don’t know why they have such powerful tech and strength yet haven’t unified Earth and are willing to submit to us, we can’t let our guard down.”
“I know, but we have no choice. The so-called Super Gene permissions and tech are all in their hands. If not given to them, do you know how to nurture those Super Warriors? Can you provide the resources they need? If the Super Warriors don’t grow, what’s the difference from not having them? We can only trust our country and believe those kids love our country.” Elder Huang said helplessly.
“Lieyang Civilization isn’t well-intentioned either. Over a thousand years ago, they even invaded Earth.”
“I can tell at least that child Lana has no malice. As for the rest, we can’t consider that much; we can only use them to check Deno. With Lana here, the Super Warriors nurtured by Xiong Bing Lian might truly belong to Earth, rather than all being taken away by Deno someday.”
“Don’t know what the suddenly appearing train forces are really like. Hope they’re as they seem now. A triangle is the most stable.”
……
Though satellites captured their figures, they didn’t get clear faces; the information isn’t much.
But four people together, all matching the photo features, still easy to screen.
Soon Lian Feng confirmed the identities of the Train Crew’s four members and found their address.
But there’s actually a fifth person, also from the train? Why separated when fabricating fake identities?
Though the fifth person’s identity shows as long-existing, the information can be freely modified, not necessarily real; possibly deliberately disguised that way.
Lian Feng thought no more and chose to visit personally.
No one was in the villa; the Train Crew had gone out for travel.
Though surveillance didn’t capture the Train Crew leaving, Micro Wormhole Transport Technology isn’t rare.
Lian Feng quietly waited outside the villa.
Unlike Du Kao’s slight scheming, Lian Feng truly recognized herself as an Earthling.
The Superdimension Academy has been reset multiple times. I prefer the initial three seasons of la la la Demacia, but also need to adopt some Xiong Bing Lian plot and settings to fill the world view. Sometimes it might differ a bit from everyone’s memories—forgive me.
