Chapter 153 (2/2)
The sound of fitful snoring filled the shop
“The boss really was tired” Ke’er’s fingers danced froently kneaded his scalp
Xiuxiu replied, her voice terse “Those beasts on Taihua erous, and we still don’t knohat happened It’s clear he doesn’t want to talk about it Fro, it must have been terrible”
Lin Guoguo sniffed in agitation, though the look she shot Lan Jue was gentle “He stayed back to help save the others, otherwise hoould his abilities have recovered like this If he wasn’t already hurt those monsters wouldn’t have stood a chance”
“Not of that matters to me,” Mika sad harshly “He’s my boss, I want him to be safe and at ease If he died, I’d probably bury myself with him” Her hands inadvertently increased their pressure as she
Lan Jue stirred soer, and her grip softened

A bloodcurdling roar tore through the dense forest
“This is Ga We’ve encountered so Our laser rifles aren’t doing anything We need soht away”
“Wait, look out Ah! Com-“
A series of pained screams arose All was dim, chaotic
A dazzling, clear blue figure appeared then In the blink of an eye the purplish beast was burnt black as coal It didn’t even have time to scream
“Ah! What the hell was that?! A e one We’re saved, saved! hell yeah! These must be the reinforcements”
“damn! Look up there, what the hell is that? Watch it, it’s coht for our shi+p”
“No good Look there, that shi+p’s been wrecked It’s coht for us Full speed ahead Full speed!”
“It’s too late!”
Suddenly, a resplendent flash of golden light washed over theure thundered by, followed by a monster’s pained cry
Thespeed It vanished in a flicker of sanguine color, appearing again awas cut asunder The machine continued on without any hesitation, like it was duty-bound
A group of tre children stood below it, none older than perhaps ten Another group of adults were no far off, lying in a pool of blood It looked as though they had died warding the children fro
The purple monstrosity collapsed to the floor with a thud
As the mists faded, the dark red e ether
“Mama-!”
“Daddy!!”
Their shrill cries for help hung in the thick air of the forest Unfortunately, their parents could no longer protect them
The ies shone on every eye, three-diraphic emitters, the heart of every on-looker was heavy with terror over what they saw
Tihting off beasts and protecting tourists The most frequently spied was the sapphire et a clear picture Still it’s flashi+ng bolts of lightning were uny another roup saved from certain death
The news also showed another, a young woht, who battled the creatures with nothing but a machete
And then the golden ht in his hands that ended whatever beast crossed his path
Most striking, however, was the last few ier than all the others It writhes in pain as a quiet silver light slowly carved it in to pieces
Viewers stared wide-eyed and open-ht to watch throughsobs
The videos and ies continued for another half an hour before they finally stopped They were replaced with the pretty face of a female news anchor
“What you’re witnessing is an unprecedented disaster, one that invariably fills each of us with a deep sadness However, this great tragedy has also shown us the reat heroes arose when they were needed They charged in to the eneainst them They pressed on to save the lives of their fellowmen and women of Taihua who are all worthy of our respect and admiration Unfortunately, our recent reports reveal that seventy percent of the soldiers garrisoned on Taihua have been lost Seventy percent of our righteous protectors fallen, having given their lives for our brothers and sisters of the Eastern Alliance, and in defense of our sovereign territory”
“Other than those brave soldiers, there were ainst the invaders, who brought great power to bear against our ene an effort to uncover the identity of these courageous individuals As we’ve seen, not all of these great saviors ed to escape Taihua with their lives, but it is our duty to find the ones that did and thank them for their service At the very least, they should be showered with flowers and applause I’m sure those that were saved by their actions would like to personally give their thanks To our heroes, your actions bring you glory that rings through all of the three alliances!”
Her voice rose in power and ees of the e screen behind her
“As we near the end of this broadcast, I’d like to say – I’ this, I’d like to take you out for a drink” As she spoke, she rose to her feet to point directly at the streak of blue light that soared passed the screen behind her!
Is this for real? Ridiculous…As a foreigner, this news report e Very flowery and drae a little to ht expect a news report about a national tragedy to be, but in reality channels in china like CCTV and Xinhua – overnment – deliver reports just like this
