42 Invasion (2/2)
In the Party Hunt mission, there were two parties who survived. Naturally, one of them was Qie Chuanli's group which held Liu Jun; the second was Bao Jing's group that took action instantly.
Not even ten seconds after the black-robed Feng Hui had left, Bao Jing had hastened her friend to form a group as soon as possible before the monsters were depleted. In her eyes, there was no such thing as a free meal. The early bird would get the worm.
Fortunately, Bao Jing was gifted some short-term energy by the mysterious black-robed man. This led to her party being able to clear the sufficient number of goblins before dusk to survive.
Bao Jing softly stated, ”Brother Mo, I think everything will end soon. Yesterday, the portals in the sky disappeared. Will our lives eventually return to normal?”
”I wouldn't count on it. Likely, something even bigger is coming. Furthermore, the monsters are still here.” Mo Hongxi sighed. From his experience in the apocalypse, he believed that it was instead the signal that an even bigger crisis was approaching.
Reaching the late stages of the Qi Refining realm, Bao Jing was confident in defeating even the strong orcs as long as she was not surrounded. Utilizing her superb agility, she could nimbly dodge all of the attacks.
”I really want everything to just return back to normal.” Bao Jing's fledgling voice was filled with melancholy.
”Me too.” Mo Hongxi shook his head, and he looked outside. While he was about to discuss the future construction plans, he heard a sudden loud crash outside the stronghold.
”Boom!”
In the course of a few seconds, the over thousand survivors within the stronghold began screaming in fear. It was a natural reaction. Throughout the apocalypse, there was no one who would not have constant nightmares. Thus, when something terrible did occur, utter chaos and anarchy would ensue.
”Calm down, everyone!” Mo Hongxi roared in an authoritative tone.
In response, hardly any of the survivors listened to the fourteen-year-old teenager. Regardless of Mo Hongxi's leadership and intelligence, the survivors still could not trust a mere teenager fully. In the face of the monsters, overwhelming strength was the sole thing that mattered in the end. With enough strength, everyone would follow close behind.
In the end, authority in the apocalypse was something that had to be backed by physical might! Luckily, Mo Hongxi, the leader of the stronghold, was supported by his strong dear cultivator friend.
Mo Hongxi was at the yellow level in strength; thus, he could fight decently as well. Unfortunately, his talent was pathetic; he owned the ability to wield simple water. It was a pitiful amount too.
In the stronghold, Mo Hongxi's ability was useful for providing drinking water. But, in reality, it was useless when fighting monsters. For humans, the true battle was to wipe out the monsters to regain control of Earth!
”Let's go, Jingjing!” Seeing his order being ignored, Mo Hongxi's mouth made a shattering noise. Clenching down on his teeth, he ran outside amidst the stampede with his friend to analyze the reason for the madness.
Upon stepping outside, Mo Hongxi's face instantly turned grim. In the sky, there were hundreds of portals forming with a frightening emerald color. Furthermore, the portals were opened this time!
Soon, whatever demons which were hiding inside would come out. Mo Hongxi's entire body was swiftly covered in sweat. Looking to the side, he saw his dear wide-eyed friend. Calming his nerves, he stated, ”What's your opinion on this, Jingjing?”
Naturally, Bao Jing could discern the true underlying meaning behind her friend's words; he was asking whether they should abandon the stronghold. Facing these dangerous emerald portals, what could the two of them do? The smartest option was to flee to fight another day.
However, when Bao Jing saw all the scared little children quivering within the stronghold, she could not bear to abandon everything they've built. With a hesitant voice, she responded, ”I don't want to leave everyone behind…”
”Then we won't.” Mo Hongxi smiled. In the end, the two of them had journeyed the entire apocalypse together. In comparison to the gruesome, insignificant deaths of countless other humans, the two of them defending their stronghold could be considered a noble and glorious death.
”Brother Mo…” Bao Jing's heart was pained. Reaching this point, the two of them were more certain of their love for one another.

But, in reality, neither of them had uttered the word 'love' even once. As if the word was a taboo in the apocalypse, Bao Jing would remain silent along with her friend.
