Chapter 105: Trust in Science (Second Update)

On the deck, Huang Bai shielded his head with both hands and skillfully ducked into the cabin amidst a hail of gunfire.

Old Zhan, meanwhile, kept his eyes on the flock of seagulls circling overhead. Seeing one of them clutching a glass bottle in its talons, he couldn't help but think of the parchment scroll Boss Shen had shown him earlier. So, this thing really was delivered by a seagull!

Suddenly, the seagull loosened its grip, and the glass bottle plummeted downward, landing precisely on Shen.

However, a split second later, dozens of "corpses" suddenly shuddered and sat up in unison. They looked around in confusion, but upon catching sight of Lu Qingqiong in the sky, expressions of terror immediately washed over their faces.

If they could unite Europe and consolidate the power of the entire continent, the Ming Dynasty would certainly be no match for France.

As they walked, a sudden clamor of footsteps echoed from the distance. Shang Jingxing and Ying Modie quickly concealed themselves, watching the other end of the alley in silence.

The other ten thousand troops, hidden within the dense forest, launched a lightning-fast assault. They charged the city gates, which were desperately held by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and their fifty men, and began to rampage through the city of Guangzong. Liu Tianhao even crossed paths with Zhang Liang, one of the three great leaders of the Yellow Turbans. After a fierce battle, he finally cleaved Zhang Liang in two with a single sweep of his halberd.

Winter passed and spring returned, and all things began to stir to life. Only after enduring the harshest midwinter can one truly appreciate the warmth of the spring sun.

Yue Fei’s expression darkened as he cupped his hands and said, "Prince Kang has treated me with great kindness, and I am deeply grateful. However, the Tatar army has not yet retreated, the siege of Bianliang remains unbroken, and His Majesty is in grave danger. How could I indulge in a grand banquet?" With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

The disciples of the Lingyao Sect did not stop to ponder how bizarre the previous scene had been—or perhaps it was precisely because it was so inexplicable that they were filled with such dread. After all, who knew if they might one day meet an equally inexplicable end, haunted by the memory of some past wrong they had committed against a loved one or a friend?

Jiang Guli smiled faintly and said, "I shall dispose of this traitor first, then I will speak with you all." As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward Yun Ming.

Huang Qianshan nodded in approval. "If we attack Daming Prefecture, we can avoid a direct confrontation with the main Jin force, ensuring we remain undefeated. Furthermore, by cutting off their rear, Wanyan Zongwang will surely fall into chaos, which will also resolve the crisis in Bianliang. This strategy is far superior to sending troops across the Yellow River to the south."

Chu Hemeng wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. She dodged a blade, gripped the assailant’s wrist tightly, and delivered a fierce kick to his groin, causing him to drop the weapon in agony. She snatched the machete from him and, using the back of the blade, struck him on the head, knocking him to the ground.

"Master, Yi Zhu has already arrived, but..." Kudo Mu looked at Daniel in the center of the room, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Mom, I’m actually fine. I just need a day of rest," Gu Jinhuan said, feigning a casual tone. Over the past few years, such situations had become a daily routine for her.

It was three days later when Lu Shaoyu returned. During those three days, he hadn't sought out Gu Jinhuan, but he had learned everything there was to know about her.

Old Man Tang clearly did not care for this man. It was unclear when he had learned such a biting, sarcastic tone, speaking in such a strange and mocking manner. What did he mean by "self-proclaimed"? He had presented his credentials before coming here, hadn't he? If he were a fraud, how could he be sitting in his office right now?

KEN jumped up and snatched the phone from Ji Wushuang’s hand, putting it to his ear just in time to hear the final sentence: "I will send men to capture him and bring him back immediately."

In terms of appearances, Sun Ruya had won a complete victory, but from another perspective, she had lost in a crushing defeat.

Neither of them brought up the conflict from that day again; they both acted as if nothing had ever happened.

That was correct; he was preparing for the college entrance examination. As a first-year high school student, he was sitting for the 2003 exam alongside the graduating seniors.

She slapped the water in irritation, fumed for a long while, and only then did she sluggishly make her way downstairs.
