Chapter 78
Stand Up, All of You!
"Fifth Brother, if we humans can't even protect our own offspring, and even sacrifice our children for power struggles, then we are worse than the White Walkers."
As the son of a wealthy family, Zhou Zhengyao didn't care about these things.
His children live in the family mansion and are protected 24 hours a day by elite law enforcement officers.
"Seventh Sister, we are all pawns, not players. In this world, the strong will always prevail. Those strong people will not care about children, just like you don't care about those inferior martial artists who explore caves."
Zhou Ruoxi had no choice but to change her story.
"We, the legal wife, must become the chess players, letting Sting control all sorts of demons and monsters. Do you think those ten illegitimate children will bring us any good days in the future?"
These words finally persuaded Zhou Zhengyao.
If the illegitimate children want to inherit the position of city lord, they must first kill the twelve children of the four legal wives.
"Fine, if Dad gets angry, you take the blame. I'm just following orders."
"Alright, I'll take care of it. I'll send a spatial expert to stand by. Once the Ghost Queen is discovered, she'll open a passage for you."
Ye Rou and Fang Jing worked together flawlessly, and by the time other instructors and a large number of law enforcement teams arrived to provide support, they had already killed more than three hundred Otherworlders.
The remaining White Walkers, led by the White Walker King, fled and disappeared into the basement.
Their aim was revenge; they planned to devour a thousand children and then return, never expecting that the experts from the space system would arrive so quickly.
Zou Xiaoren, the director of the Imperial Maternal and Child Hospital in Jiangling City, also rushed over.
"Thank you, thank you. Both instructors are truly worthy of the title of 'mother'."
He smiled and extended his hand to shake hands and express his gratitude, but the two women did not budge.
They were disgusted that they could still laugh and spout such hypocritical bureaucratic platitudes at this time, because too many children were suffering.
"Dean Zou, how many children were injured or killed?"
"We haven't had time to compile statistics yet, but this time it was quite serious. Next, the enforcement team of the Women and Children's Hospital will be increased to 1000 people, and this kind of thing will never happen again."
"Then let's go back and rest."
"Thank you for your hard work. I still have to handle the funeral arrangements, so I won't keep you company any longer."
Fang Jing and Ye Rou were just teachers and didn't hold any other positions, so even if they were indignant, there was nothing they could do.
At that moment, Ye Rou suddenly realized that her husband was right to fight for the team leader position.
She used to believe that as long as the two hundred million awakened beings united as one and wiped out the powerful alien beasts in the North, they could eventually reclaim Blue Star and restore the human race to its former prosperity.
Looking back now, I was too naive.
Even if you want to unite humanity, you must first firmly grasp power in your own hands, otherwise you won't even be able to protect your children.
As soon as they left, Zou Xiaoren's face fell. He went to the bathroom, locked the door, and took out his communicator to check the messages.
"After Zhou Ruoxi decided to exterminate the ghosts, the governor's order had already been issued and could not be withdrawn."
He took off his glasses and angrily punched the glass.
"You dare disobey Dad's orders? Are you tired of living?"
He wanted to call and complain, but when he thought about how big a mess the women and children's hospital had made, he chickened out.
After calming down, he immediately sent a message to his tenth sister, Huang Azi.
"Notify me immediately after finding the ghost, delay and prevent their attack, and kill Yang Ding if necessary."
Huang Bingbing quickly replied, "Zhou Ruoxi won't let me kill him."
"She's barely able to take care of herself, so ignore her."
"Okay, Third Brother."
Huang Bingbing put away her communication equipment and glanced at her classmates around her; no one was paying attention to her.
Ever since she used Xiang Tianyou to block the Ghost King, her former sycophants have become a little afraid of her and have all switched their allegiance to Yang Ding.
Even Sun Li shamelessly fawned over Yang Ding again, clamoring to massage his legs.
"Captain Yang, please let me try it. It feels so good to massage my legs."
Yang Ding lost his temper and kicked her in the face.
"What the hell are you talking about? Is this the time to be hitting your legs?"
Lieutenant Sun just announced the governor's order from the command headquarters.
What started as three days has become a rule that you can't leave until you find the ghost.
Yang Dingdu began to worry about whether he would be able to return alive.
Based on the number of White Walkers last time, if the core lair is indeed found, there should be at least five thousand of them.
Even if they stood still and let you chop them, you'd still be exhausted.
Moreover, in the darkness, a mere scratch from a White Walker could cost you your life.
The prize pool of 300 million failed to arouse anyone's interest, and everyone was dejected.
Sun Li got up again and insisted on massaging Yang Ding's legs.
She felt that as long as Yang Ding accepted, she would have to provide protection if they encountered danger later.
Yang Ding kicked her again, sending her flying.
Fang Dalong was also stunned, although there were such cultivation girls when he was in school.
But this was the first time he had ever seen someone as thick-skinned, persistent, and so easily swayed by others as Sun Li.
Lieutenant Sun, who was accompanying Sun Li on the training session, beckoned to her.
"Are you blind? I'm the strongest man here. Come and give me a massage, and I'll make sure you don't die later."
"Really, Lieutenant Sun? Am I really honored?"
The law enforcement team members burst into laughter.
In the past, they could sleep with female college students every time they trained, but this time the situation is getting more and more serious, and they have lost that interest.
Sun Li was exceptionally beautiful, and Lieutenant Sun couldn't suppress his lust.
He touched Sun Li's hand and said, "We all share the same surname, so it's only right that I protect you."
"It's cold in this cave, people are a bit chilly."
"Come here, come here, your brother will hold you so you won't be cold."
Sun Li quickly snuggled into Lieutenant Sun's arms.
Yang Ding ignored the two of them and prepared to continue cultivating the Void Rift Technique.
"Brother Ding, when are we leaving?"
"Let's rest for six hours first to recharge our energy. I reckon there will be a big battle tomorrow."
Yang Ding noticed that Ye Rou and Fang Jing's affection level had increased slightly, probably because of what happened at the maternity and children's hospital, which made them worry about him.
He activated the Rift Technique, wanting to connect with the space at home, even just to catch a glimpse of his two wives.
But after several attempts, I still couldn't connect; my skills are still too weak.
It is said that spatial ability users of S+ level or above can have children with Jiangling's wife through a void rift, even while on a mission in the Northern Territory.
Yang Ding was determined to hone this practical skill.
After practicing for an unknown amount of time, Yang Ding felt his mental energy was running low, and he drifted off to sleep.
In his sleep, Yang Ding suddenly heard a scream.
"Captain, save me!"
He was jolted awake and saw a White Walker emerge from the intact wall and drag a girl by her legs back inside.
The other students were so frightened that they all backed away and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Don't dodge, grab her."
Yang Ding leaped over and thrust his sword into the cave wall.
The White Walker, in pain, screamed and released its grip, fleeing from the cave.
The female student's calf was bleeding profusely, but no bones or tendons were injured.
Yang Ding had someone bandage her up, while she glared at the eight classmates who had just dodged away.
"All of you, stand up!"
Since Xiang Tianyou was taken away, Huang Bingbing has stopped causing trouble and now holds absolute authority within the team.
