Commander Ōmura, in a good mood, glared at him. "What big news? Didn't you see the news about the World Challenge? This time, our people won the championship."
"That's what I wanted to talk about." Seeing that Commander Ōmura didn't react, Chief of Staff Nagasaki subtly reminded him, "A month ago, Wei Huan went to Shi Heng's house. Shi Heng Chuanjing requested our support and went to the Level 4 assessment highway to find Wei Huan and unlock the secret of the discarded cell phone."
Commander Ōmura's smile vanished.
He slowly sat up straight, and after a while said, "You mean, they might have successfully attacked Wei Huan, which is why they won this victory?"
Chief of Nagasaki slowly shook his head, saying only, "I don't know the specifics either. I've already sent people to search the Ishigami family. And it's also puzzling why it's not Ishigami Kawakyo, but Ishigami Kawamura."
Commander Ōmura had also realized something was wrong. He drank one cup of tea after another. After a long silence, he suddenly slammed his teacup down and stared intently at Chief of Staff Nagasaki.
Why haven't we heard anything yet?
Sweat beaded on the back of the Nagasaki commander, who nervously swallowed hard.
They knew that the longer they waited, the less likely they were to find Shihengchuan Village, and the worse things would become.
If it's a good thing, no one will hide it; only those who have done something wrong will do that.
Commander Nagasaki hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Commander, the champion can get a golden treasure chest. If they are willing to hand it over, do you think we should protect him?"
Commander Ōmura did not answer; in fact, he had been thinking about this question since the beginning.
The golden treasure chest is very valuable, but not so valuable that it's worth going against the Great Xia for it.
The key issue now is that the golden treasure chest is just the trigger; the real conflict stems from the centuries-old grudges between the Mulberry Tree Kingdom and the Great Xia Dynasty.
Helping them would be pointless, as it's not worth going against the Great Xia, but not helping them would be admitting defeat to the Great Xia.
He didn't mind temporarily bowing his head, but behind him... the people of Osham would never allow him to back down. As the "vanguard" of the Osham Legion against the Great Xia Legion, he had no choice but to act, even if he didn't want to.
And so, things quieted down again, until a phone call reached the Nagasaki Chief of Staff.
After finishing the call, Chief of Staff Nagasaki's expression changed drastically.
"Commander, the Great Xia has deployed troops under the pretense of conducting military exercises. They have already arrived in our coastal waters and could arrive at any moment..."
Commander Ōmura seemed to have anticipated this, saying, "Contact Osam; we need support."
"yes."
...
The situation on Earth became unpredictable, but the Level 4 assessment highway that challenged the world remained calm.
Wei Huan was taken to bed by Mu Zhong, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they thought about it carefully again, they realized that it didn't seem like such a big deal.
It's just a golden treasure chest; they can afford to lose it, but they don't have many opportunities to righteously lash out at the Mulberry Tree Kingdom.
When Wei Huan bombed Shi Heng's house, it was out of personal grudge. Mu Zhong was his partner, and it was Shi Heng's family who were responsible for those legs. Although there was a lack of crucial evidence, Sang Shuguo was ultimately in the wrong, and because of Wei Huan's strength and restraint, the matter was actually handled somewhat leniently.
The Great Xia is now so powerful that it is almost surpassing the combined strength of all other countries.
Two-thirds of the time, when faced with an overwhelming challenge, the best option for small countries is to settle things peacefully.
They knelt down too quickly, without even having a chance to lash out.
To be honest, it was quite unpleasant.
You see, sometimes the satisfaction you feel isn't just about kneeling down and crying your eyes out to admit your mistakes. It's about first having a good, satisfying beating, and then seeing the other person kneel down and cry their eyes out to admit their mistakes. Only then can you vent that burning anger.
Even more so, in extreme cases, killing can solve the problem.
The people of Daxia do not like the people of Sangshu Kingdom, especially those from the Qinglong Legion area. Putting aside historical issues, in recent years, Sangshu Kingdom has been causing trouble in the territory of the Qinglong Legion.
Now, the Qinglong Army was the largest in Wei Huan's car. Upon hearing Wei Huan's unconventional thinking, they suddenly transformed from feeling frustrated and depressed into excited anticipation.
That's right, this is a handle handed over by the Mulberry Tree Kingdom, so don't blame them for being ruthless.
Wei Huan was still sleeping.
As dawn broke, the Da Xia 2000 convoy and its support convoy arrived.
But even after arriving, I didn't leave. It's rare to encounter an assessment without a final boss, so of course I have to take full advantage of the challenge world.
So Mu Zhong sent a notification in the chat room that there was a treasure chest to claim at the end of the level.
A total of 10,000 treasure chests will be given out when you challenge the world.
1 Golden Treasure Chest.
100 silver treasure chests.
1000 Black Iron Chests.
In the end, there were 8,899 bronze treasure chests left.
The loot from bronze treasure chests is obviously of poor quality, but 8899 bronze treasure chests are still a considerable amount of resources. If the Great Xia Dynasty were to obtain them, they could be used to train new recruits on the primary assessment road.
Such a free reward is something you should definitely take if you can.
Those who were originally waiting on Line 80, only wanting to pass the level, calculated their own speed and set off if they had the chance.
Today is the morning of the ninth day of the challenge. There are still two and a half days left. The fastest group should be able to make it.
Wei Huan and the Da Xia team set up camp at the finish line, waiting for the cars to arrive before setting off in sequence.
Wei Huan slept until noon that day before waking up. His head didn't hurt, he felt great, and even the anger he felt before going to sleep had dissipated.
He took a shower and cleaned himself up. When he went downstairs, a horde of monsters descended from the sky. The experienced legion hunted them down with skillful maneuvering, and there was nothing he needed Wei Huan's help with.
When Wei Huan went downstairs, the first person he saw was Mu Zirui, who was on his way to the war platform to join the battle.
Upon seeing Wei Huan, Mu Zirui grinned broadly: "Commander, you're awake? Mu Zhong had the kitchen prepare food, saying you should be awake soon, and I didn't expect to actually see you. Did you sleep well?"
Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zirui and Mu Zhong didn't look alike, but since they were both from the Mu family, Wei Huan, out of affection for them, had a very good impression of the Mu family and took the initiative to ask them a few questions. Mu Zirui was in a hurry to go upstairs to join the battle, so he left after only a few words.
Wei Huan was torn between going upstairs and going downstairs, and finally chose to go downstairs to eat, where he could still see Mu Zhong.
He planned to go down and replace Mu Zhong. If Mu Zhong refused, he would force him back to bed, just as Mu Zhong had treated him.
This feeling of being cared for wholeheartedly.
That's good, precisely because he likes it and hopes Mu Zhong can feel it.
Liu Chengzhi brought out the food from the kitchen, followed by Dou Lin, who was also helping out.
Perhaps it was because Dou Lin had been following Liu Chengzhi for a long time, but not only did his face become a little chubby, he also had a cheerful and kind appearance, and the little bit of fierceness in his eyes had completely dissipated.
Liu Chengzhi was not a very capable person. He was fat and greedy. Especially after his parents passed away, he was the only son left in the family, and his grandmother spoiled him rotten.
But it is precisely because he is deeply loved that it is difficult to see any negative things in him. He has no insurmountable obstacles, and his open-minded and stable mentality easily brings comfortable positive energy to others.
While Wei Huan was eating, he chatted with Liu Chengzhi. Not long after, Mu Zhong rushed over.
Wei Huan immediately asked, "Are you busy right now?"
Mu Zhong was about to speak but then stopped and shook his head.
Wei Huan then looked at Dou Lin and said, "Take your brother Mu Chong upstairs to sleep."
Mu Zhong was speechless for a moment, then smiled helplessly and warmly, "Okay, I'll go up by myself, I don't need anyone to help me." Even as he said this, he still took Dou Lin's hand and kissed Wei Huan on the forehead before leaving.
Wei Huan stared at Mu Zhong's face; Mu Zhong's condition was evident in his silver glasses.
Name: Mu Zhong (Title Attribute +25%)
...
Special condition: Mild depression
Yes, Mu Zhong's symptoms suddenly lessened, and he saw it when he opened his eyes that morning.
If he had known earlier that a more stable relationship between the two could alleviate Mu Zhong's anxiety, he would have acted much earlier.
Wei Huan watched Mu Zhong's retreating figure with deep reluctance and affection.
Liu Chengzhi clutched his heart as he watched. Indeed, the harmony of the patriarch was the foundation of stability for this family.
After finishing his meal and returning to the driver's seat, just as the battle ended, Wei Huan, full and satisfied, sat down and called out, "Minister Mu."
He called out to Mu Han, Mu Tangge, but when he turned around, he saw a malnourished giant panda coming towards him.
Mu Tangge looked at him with dark circles under his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Please speak, Captain."
At that moment, Wei Huan felt a sense of guilt akin to that of Zhou Bapi (a notorious exploiter).
Wei Huan changed the subject he was about to say, and said instead, "I'm awake. Leave things here to me. Thank you for your hard work. Go and get some rest."
Brother Mu rubbed his face, and there was indeed a noticeable sense of relaxation.
He finally mustered his strength and said, "Thank you for your concern, conductor. After I report on what I'm doing, I'll go upstairs to rest."
"No need." Wei Huan shook his head. "Mu Zhong just told me that you should rest first, and we can talk about it after you've woken up."
But Brother Mu shook his head: "I'd better tell you first. There's no rush. I can sleep soundly after I finish."
Wei Huan had no choice but to let it go.
The issues are still the same, but from Brother Mu's perspective, there are some differences.
Wei Huan nodded after listening and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Only then did Brother Mu nod, smiling with relief: "It's good that you're back to take charge. I can go and rest now."
"Um."
Wei Huan found that after taking a nap, there wasn't much to do.
car
With more people coming up, it was thought things would get even more complicated. But it turned out that there were people in charge of everything, and he only needed to make decisions on the general direction and command on the battlefield.
With nothing else to do, Wei Huan simply went back to the Temple of Professions to cultivate.
He had been sleeping soundly until now, and all the spirits had recovered from their weakened and negative state, and his spiritual power was now abundant.
The only thing that needed to be replenished in the post-war recovery was the Hellfire bomb.
Wei Huan really likes to use the Hellfire Bomb in a one-shot attack.
He had no interest in testing the combat capabilities of both sides by going back and forth if he could resolve the issue in one go. Moreover, the level four Netherfire Bomb was incredibly powerful and could easily destroy even a level five protective shield.
Aside from the excessive consumption of Netherworld energy, it is almost flawless.
If he had more energy storage tanks, he could store more bombs and summon more undead.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any energy canisters from opening two Platinum Ruins recently. I wonder if other countries have them. I'll try to get some through trading.
Training in the Temple of the Profession, time passed by unnoticed. After this overdraft of using Netherworld Power, Wei Huan's progress bar in the Spirit Communicator stage increased slightly, and his control and nurturing of the undead deepened.
The first day passed just like that. In the afternoon, Mu Chong went downstairs, and soon after, Mu's cousin also came down. Once everyone was there, the order inside the car ran much better.
Some even suggested holding a banquet to thank the various escort vehicles for their escort along the way.
This proposal was, of course, rejected.
We are still in the testing phase, and we cannot relax until the very last moment, before leaving the testing road.
Even after leaving here and reaching the fourth-level world, one must be cautious. The only place in the challenge world that can be considered relatively safe is the human-built city, which is sufficient to withstand most of the suddenly appearing wandering monsters.
Thinking of the monster siege, Wei Huan checked the calendar again.
There's still a long time before the War Clan attacks Xuanwu City. I should be able to change history. Once I leave the assessment highway and enter the fourth-level world, I'll go directly to the War Clan's headquarters.
As the day went by, private vehicles arrived one after another. As soon as they arrived, they consciously found a parking space at the back of the line and did not dare to approach the finish line gate not far away.
Most people in this world are law-abiding, grateful, and at the very least, they cherish their own lives. Do you think this 2,000-person convoy is a joke?
On this day, Wei Huan entered the Great Tomb again. After recruiting the flying monkeys and exhausting his Netherworld power, he once again laid himself on Dian Ma's body, releasing his soul tentacles to cultivate and nurture Dian Ma's strength.
Just like always, suddenly Wei Huan's soul tendrils sensed a leap deep within the flames of death, followed by a clear cry.
The sound of "Muttering" echoed far and wide.
Wei Huan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
I witnessed firsthand the process of becoming a "point mom".
He had wondered what would happen after the Earth Beast Mother Beast advanced, whether it would grow bone spurs, or develop some kind of alien shape, or whether the spider web-like part on its back would undergo new changes.
Until the mother in front of him advanced, he realized that everyone was different from him.
He saw himself getting farther and farther away from the ground, and the shell beneath his feet suddenly became incredibly wide, like a giant, flattened mountaintop.
It's about the size of a football field.
From five square meters to the size of a football field? Even taking growth hormones wouldn't be that exaggerated, right?
Wei Huan stood up, walked to the side of the shell on Mom's back, and looked down. It was more than 100 meters above the ground, probably around 150 meters. The undead on the ground had become very small. The clever guy who was digging his anus even knew to look up at him, and there was a hint of surprise on his skeletal face.
Wei Huan patted his mother, and his spiritual tendrils reached the depths of her soul.
It is filled with energy, five times that of an elite level.
That's five times the size, how could it be so big?
Wei Huan did some research and concluded that it was probably related to species. Both were elites who advanced to hero units, but the "Anal Scooper" grew bone spurs, while the "Big Bear" grew attributes and size step by step.
The creature called "Dianma" is reminiscent of a jellyfish on the seabed. Considering the differences between land and sea creatures, it's normal for Dianma to suddenly swell up.
Of course, as a necromancer, Wei Huan would certainly study the differences between different undead in greater detail.
However, such a thorough investigation cannot be completed in just one or two days.
Li Weihuan immediately accepted the arrogance that Dianma had gained after advancing to the next hero, and said it was very nice.
Regardless of its combat strength, the enormous Dot Mother exudes an aura of intimidation simply by her appearance. I imagine any human or dark beast would think twice about taking her in.
As for why there isn't a gigantic version of the Earth Beast Mother Beast in the Dark Beast faction?
The reason is simple: they were first bound by their own bloodline, and then oppressed by high-star dark beasts, making it impossible for them to evolve into stronger bloodlines. Thus, they were forced to become cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Or perhaps, the evolutionary path of the Crypt Beast Mother Beast is not like this at all, and that Dianma's gigantism is entirely due to her special training by Wei Huan, which is why she exhibits such a performance.
Next, Wei Huan will proceed with the next test.
Could the hero unit, Dawn, summon an even more powerful Facehugger? Would the Zerglings evolve along with it?
Or... if the dog is unable to be summoned because of this, Wei Huan will also be very disappointed.
It's a pity, but the training he needs to receive will continue.
Wei Huan silently commanded his mother to summon the facehuggers.
But Dianma, who always obeyed him, chose to refuse.
Then it conveyed a vague message, telling Wei Huan that it couldn't do it yet, that the facehugger also needed to be cultivated, and that this would take time.
So that means facehuggers can also evolve?
Moreover, it's not just the dog that evolves; other facehuggers summoned by DotMom will also evolve.
From this perspective, breeding female cave beasts could be a one-time solution that provides a permanent solution.
Just as Wei Huan was thinking this, his mother suddenly conveyed another message to him.
It indicated that it needed energy, a lot of energy, and that it needed to eat other cave beast mothers, requesting Wei Huan's permission.
Wei Huan repeatedly confirmed its final request, and when he was sure it really wanted to eat the other cave beast mothers, Wei Huan was speechless for a few seconds.
In the end, they agreed, since Mom was the most special one from beginning to end.
Who wouldn't love such a clingy, capable, and super-sounding behemoth?
Wei Huan agreed.
With Wei Huan's permission, Dian's mother let out a joyful "quack quack."
The mother beast from the underground cave, which was automatically delivered under Wei Huan's command, was stuffed into the abdominal cavity located directly below it.
Contrary to Wei Huan's imagination of a scene of bones flying everywhere after being chewed, it was more accurate to say that these cave beast mothers were directly absorbed into their abdominal cavities and quickly disappeared rather than being eaten.
Wei Huan recruited a total of one thousand cave beast mothers, and once they reached level four, they could recruit more than forty facehuggers.
Therefore, if we include the facehuggers, which have relatively low combat power, Wei Huan's undead army actually numbers over 60,000.
However, facehuggers are really too weak in combat. In today's high-level battlefields, they can only be used as scouting tools and cannon fodder in siege battles.
Therefore, it has been a long time since Wei Huan has recruited any underground beast mothers.
Compared to the wolves that can command battles on their own and the tough, fleshy walking bears, the three-star bloodline of the cave beasts is gradually becoming a marginal race in Wei Huan's undead army.
Now, right before Wei Huan's eyes, all of the thousand or so cave beast mothers were devoured by Dian Ma.
That's right, after eating every last bite, Mom still seemed to think that it wasn't quite enough.
Wei Huan: "..."
Although the Earth Beast Mother Beast is not very useful now, it is his only means of attacking air enemies. What should he do now that it has been eaten by Point Mom?
You have to take responsibility for the "child" you raised yourself.
Looking at his remaining Netherworld Power, Wei Huan recruited some more Netherworld Beast Mothers.
Recruiting the Earth Beast Mother only costs 20 points of Nether Power. Wei Huan currently has 3400 Nether Power, which can be replenished in a few days.
Just as he had recruited more than ten cave beast mothers and gathered them together, a long leg as tall as a pillar descended and devoured all ten of them in one gulp.
Wei Huan: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Huan asked Dian's mother, "Do you want more?"
Mommy Dian said that was enough, then showed affection to Wei Huan, and finally bent her long legs and slowly lay down on the ground.
Tell Wei Huan that it needs some time to process this advancement.
Wei Huan nodded: "I hope you can bring me a surprise."
Such a huge expenditure has already raised Wei Huan's expectations to the limit. According to the law of conservation of energy, with such a big commotion surrounding Dianma's advancement this time, its final achievement will not be small either.
And so, after Mom stopped moving, Wei Huan also found a place to sit down and continued cultivating until the time limit for the Temple of Professions expired, at which point he was ejected.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a pitch-black world of challenges, with raging winds and blizzards. The snowflakes, as big as fists and as heavy as weights, were practically weapons that could kill.
Even more terrifying is that despite its weight, the raging winds would still blow it sideways, causing it to slam against the protective shield outside the vehicle, making a "bang bang bang" sound.
Wei Huan's sixth-level protective shield has a large range, enough to cover an area of five miles and protect all vehicles.
The outside world looked like the end of the world, yet people inside still dared to get out of their cars to visit relatives and friends.
Aside from its high energy consumption, the Level 6 protective shield was otherwise fine. As for energy consumption, it wasn't a problem for Wei Huan at all. The energy he had accumulated in his car from opening treasure chests like a plow through the land had reached a level that other cars could only dream of, so he could drive it however he wanted.
There are still cars at night.
They arrived one after another.
Today is the eleventh day of the challenge to the world. After darkness falls again, this world will completely disappear, and challengers who do not reach the minimum standard of 80 will be swallowed by the darkness.
The latest chapter of "Highway Survival: A God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" by Jingzhou Xiaoyao is exclusively updated online. Visit [website address] to read the latest chapter. Full chapter available.
But in reality, if someone can't reach the 80th tier from the start, even if they endure until the eleventh day, it will be very difficult for them to break through successfully.
Because the world environment will become increasingly harsh, reaching the level of a natural disaster on the eleventh day, vehicles with poor capabilities will find it difficult to withstand such an environment, which will slow down the progress.
As for those tanks waiting after level 80, they will receive official vehicles or early protection from powerful players, and almost all of them will be able to leave.
On the assessment road where Wei Huan is now, a group of people stayed on Route 80, and another group who were confident they could reach this point have already set off, and many have already arrived.
During this period, there were also some people who encountered accidents and needed help along the way, and Wei Huan would arrange convoys from both sides to rescue them.
Wei Huan respects life and will arrange rescue efforts as much as possible within the scope of what is possible.
However, those who rush to the scene also have to bear certain risks, and there are instances where rescue is delayed.
Before we knew it, dawn had broken.
The level 6 protective shield blocked out the gray sky, and even in this relatively safe space, the roar of the storm, like an angry roar, could still be heard.
A man wearing a hooded cloak walked from afar, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow.
Until he arrived at Wei Huan's car, he took off his hat, revealing a blond, blue-eyed, young face.
"Commander, Jacques wants to see you." It was Mu Tang who spoke. After resting enough, the dark circles under his eyes were not so dark. As a challenger of the Farmer Rank, it was not easy to be in such a "weak" state.
"Let him come up," Wei Huan nodded.
The meeting had been arranged as early as yesterday morning, which is why he had been waiting here.
Jacques was well aware of his purpose in coming: to express his apologies to the Shi family for their actions, given that he was the leader of the Alliance team. He also wanted to finalize the deal, so that he could report back to his superiors.
Wei Huan met Jacques at the teahouse in the square.
Having met this hero up close in his previous life who had held up the sky for Osham, Wei Huan felt great respect for him.
This competition among civilizations is not just a struggle for the Great Xia nation. Putting aside their positions and the selfishness and folly of a few, the majority of people still shine with extremely bright light, illuminating the path of humanity's progress.
Jacques is very young, having just celebrated his 25th birthday not long ago. He is blond, blue-eyed, and handsome like a star. His facial features are relatively soft, and when he smiles at Wei Huan, he seems like a very approachable person.
In comparison, Wei Huan's facial features made his eyes cold and sharp, full of aggression.
Mu Zhong met with Jacques next to Wei Huan, and Mu Zirui was in charge of brewing the tea. The Mu family is a century-old family, and the children of such families almost always learn some refined things from an early age. Mu Zirui's tea brewing was as smooth as a work of art, and naturally had a kind of elegance that could calm people's minds.
Jacques picked up the first cup of tea, stood up, and said, "I bear some responsibility for the Shi Heng family's actions this time. I apologize and have prepared a gift. I hope that the Shi Heng family's matter will not affect our conversation."
Jacques certainly didn't say that.
It's written in a literary style, but it challenges the world with its own translation function; once the sound enters your ears, it becomes a language you can understand.
Jacques is speaking Osama's language now, of course.
Wei Huan did not dislike Jacques. At least in his previous life, Jacques' fearless fight against the dark beasts was enough for Wei Huan to be tolerant of him.
So, without keeping everyone in suspense, I said, "The Shi family has attacked me time and time again. This grudge can only be settled when one side is completely eliminated. Our past relationship will be cleared up after this cup of tea. I only hope that Mr. Jacques will not interfere in the future."
Jacques didn't agree immediately, but instead asked, "To what extent?"
Wei Huan countered, "In Mr. Jacques's mind, what kind of person am I?"
Jacques thought for a moment and said, "A great summer general who is strong, fair, and full of compassion."
Wei Huan picked up his teacup. The quiet environment sounded as if a large drill was making a low-frequency buzzing noise coming down from above.
Jacques couldn't help but reflect on whether there was anything wrong with what he had said.
After finishing his cup of tea, Mu Zirui refilled it for him.
Wei Huan didn't touch the teacup again and said to Jacques, "Leave the specific details of the transaction to Major Mu, you two can discuss it slowly."
After saying this, Wei Huan picked up the tea and then silently sipped it.
Mu Zhong smiled at Jacques: "Why don't you tell us your thoughts first, Colonel Jacques..."
The conversation lasted for more than three hours, and Jacques stayed in the car to have lunch before leaving.
When he left, another car came, but no more cars came until 3 p.m.
Wei Huan announced the order to leave.
With so many vehicles, it will take time to leave through the only passage.
The first vehicle to leave the convoy was neither Wei Huan's nor Ya Ke's, but a level four escort vehicle from the Great Xia White Tiger Army.
For Wei Huan, not getting first place made no difference whether he came in second or ten thousandth. As for the golden treasure chest that belonged to him, he would naturally get it back. So it was better to stay here and block the blizzard; even if he was the last to leave, it wouldn't matter.
The third vehicle to leave was also a Daxia escort vehicle, and it wasn't a Jacques either.
Jacques also yielded, which was an apology to Wei Huan, a sign of respect for the Great Xia Legion, and a gesture of goodwill.
One after another, the tanks filed out, leaving the assessment world and arriving at the official Level 4 challenge world.
At the same time, their names also appeared on the Challenger APP's leaderboard.
First place: Mulberry Tree Country Stone Hengchuan Village Car
Second place: Da Xia Li An'an Car
Third place: Da Xia Liu Mo Che
...
The fact that the championship was won by a driver from Sangshuguo instead of Wei Huan has been a hot topic for several days.
Two topics were the most discussed.
One example is that Wei Huan's reputation was undeserved; he started strong but declined, and his true colors were revealed when he reached the fourth-level highway.
Another issue is that the train captain from the Mulberry Tree Kingdom used underhanded tactics to steal first place, and we must find him.
The first point is upheld not only by the citizens of Great Xia, but also by the mainstream voice of other countries.
The second point is obvious: the main focus of the Great Xia Dynasty is...
Furthermore, as time has passed, it has become clear that Shi Hengchuan Village is no longer using underhanded tactics against Wei Huan, and there are already many voices online that confidently confirm Wei Huan's death.
Because of these words, Commander Chai arranged for people to live almost right next to Wei Huan's beacon, and he himself went to see it twice.
If it weren't for the fact that Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's beacons were in good condition and that none of the other military vehicles entering the convoy had decreased, Commander Chai would have almost believed the rumors circulating outside.
Even so, he was left breathless, and only he knew how he had gotten through the past few days.
As soon as he closes his eyes, all sorts of strange nightmares come rushing in, and he can't sleep soundly until he gets some definite news.
On the eleventh day, Commander Chai and the people of the whole country, or rather the people of the world, were constantly refreshing the rankings on the app.
Another unusual thing is that since the name of Shihengchuan Village appeared, no second convoy has appeared until today, which makes people keep speculating about what exactly happened.
Did Shi Hengchuan find a trick and sneak out, avoiding the final boss? Or were Wei Huan and the others stopped by something? Why hasn't the ranking changed at all?
It lasted until 3 p.m.
Almost exactly on time, a second name finally appeared on the app rankings.
It wasn't Wei Huan.
Then a third name appeared.
It wasn't Wei Huan yet.
As more and more names appeared on the list, Wei Huan's name remained unchanged, causing some people's hearts to sink to the bottom, and the APP's forum was abuzz with discussion.
[Confirmed: Wei Huan has met with misfortune!!]
[Wei Huan's demise was orchestrated by Shi Hengchuan Village. The Great Xia Army has already surrounded the Mulberry Tree Kingdom and is conducting military exercises within its territorial waters.]
[Osham urged the Great Xia army to exercise restraint.]
[The Osham warship departed its post and headed towards the Mulberry Country. A major power conflict was imminent, and Wei Huan was overwhelmed with countless concerns.]
Where is Wei Huan? His name is nowhere to be found on the rankings; is he really dead? Why hasn't the official response been made? Is it true or false? Public opinion is in an uproar.
Influenced by the tense discussions on the APP forum, major legions around the world are also discussing this matter.
"The Great Xia Legion went to the Mulberry Tree Kingdom, and even the Osham Legion was mobilized. It's probably true that Wei Huan died in the Challenge World, otherwise, how could the national power be mobilized so easily?"
"Wei Huan's beacon is still there. I've confirmed it. All the beacons that say Wei Huan was in the car are still there. There must be more to this than meets the eye."
"Wei Huan is still alive. I just don't understand why I haven't seen Wei Huan's name yet."
"The situation in the territorial waters of the Mulberry Kingdom is becoming increasingly tense. Osam's aircraft carrier has also been deployed. War may break out on Earth. Wei Huan's life or death is the key."
"Six months ago, I didn't even know who Wei Huan was. Now, in less than six months, such a young man has actually stirred up three countries, especially a war between two superpowers. It's unimaginable."
"I don't know whether to hope that Wei Huan is alright or not..."
All countries are discussing Wei Huan, and the Military Intelligence Bureau is going all out, shuttling between the two worlds, with countless intelligence agents rushing to the seas where war may break out.
Finally, a reliable message came out.
[My friend came out and confirmed that Wei Huan was alright. The leader's vehicle deployed its protective shield and walked at the back, which was very admirable. However, the bad thing was that Sang Shuguo's vehicle commander, who shamelessly ran away while Wei Huan was protecting the others, stealing Wei Huan's first place.]
Jingzhou Xiaoyao reminds you that "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" is being updated as soon as possible. Remember to []?'Come []_to see the latest chapters_complete chapters'()
After the first piece of truth came out, more and more follow-up information, almost recreating the scene, appeared on the forum, which relieved those who were worried about Wei Huan.
Immediately afterwards, a flame shot straight to my brain.
[I thought South Korea was already quite good at stealing, but I didn't expect South Korea to surpass them. They truly are both good sons of Father Sam.]
[This is unbelievable! Are there really such shameless people in this world? Their leader protected tens of thousands of people to clear the game, and instead of being grateful, they steal rewards that don't belong to them. Is this what happens when a small country lacks common sense?]
[Shi Hengchuan Village is disgusting; does anyone know where he is?]
The forum on the app quickly turned into a cacophony of abuse against Shi Hengchuan Village and Sangshu Kingdom. Not only the people of Daxia, but also people from abroad couldn't stand Shi Hengchuan Village's actions and joined in the cursing.
Another group of people are continuing to monitor the situation in the territorial waters of the Mulberry Kingdom.
The Great Xia Legion has been surrounding this place for two days, using the pretext of exercises to send missiles flying back and forth in the airspace of the Mulberry Kingdom.
The diplomats of the Sanggu Kingdom protested every day, but to no avail. The Great Xia Dynasty was now militarily strong, and the fighting power of a single legion could easily deal with the Sanggu Kingdom.
The current island-encircling exercises are already extremely restrained.
Osham's vanguard warships have arrived, but have not approached. The Great Xia Kingdom is conducting exercises in international waters, and they have no reason to interfere. The aircraft carrier is still en route, and without the appearance of their strongest force, they cannot deter the Great Xia Kingdom; they can only observe.
By 3 p.m., the Great Xia's war chariots were returning one after another, bringing with them the most accurate news.
Upon hearing this, Da Xia was even more indignant.
What?! Not only did Shi Hengchuan Village from Sangshu Kingdom steal Wei Huan's championship, but the Shi Heng family had already attacked Wei Huan in the assessment world, using a level four vehicle to attack him at close range, almost blowing up the protective shield—no, almost killing Wei Huan! Wei Huan was injured! And the people in the vehicle were seriously injured! How outrageous! Sangshu Kingdom has gone too far!
Will that work?
Wei Huan is the chief leader and supreme commander of the Great Xia assessment team this time, and he carries the Great Xia national flag when he goes out.
Anyone who dares to stain the Great Xia flag with blood is provoking Great Xia!
So, as soon as they received the news, a torpedo scheduled for launch was slightly deflected from its target. After speeding through the water, it unfortunately landed right above a rare mineral mine in the Mulberry Country.
The explosion was incredibly powerful; the mine collapsed and caved in amidst the chaos, rendering all of Sang Shuguo's efforts over the past period futile.
This rare ore was a rare resource point that descended upon the Mulberry Kingdom as a reward for humanity's victory in the "Ancient Battlefield" after challenging the world.
Rare minerals are found on the seabed, and mining them is already very difficult. The Mulberry Kingdom had finally managed to set up a frame and dig a hole, but it was all destroyed by this cannon fire.
Osama's warship was not far from the explosion site, and the waves caused by the explosion to toss and turn the warship.
The captain of Osham roared, "Great Xia, are you going to start a war?"
The captain of the Great Xia ship stood his ground: "Come on! Let's fight! The Sangshu Kingdom attacked our leader's car, causing heavy casualties. We want revenge! Anyone who tries to stop us, we'll fight them together!"
Captain Osham saw the Great Xia warship blaring its horn and heading towards them, cursing under his breath but ultimately dodging it.
Does he think he doesn't know? Wei Huanche suffered heavy casualties? It was clearly those idiots from Sangshu Kingdom who were wiped out, okay?
Knowing full well that the Great Xia was looking for an opportunity to lash out, they still handed over their weakness, even daring to mess with the main leader, Che. They were incredibly stupid.
Shi Hengchuan is stupid, and Shi Hengchuan Village is stupid too. If this wave of trouble in the unlucky Sangshu Kingdom is not handled well, something big is going to happen!
Commander Dacun was quite sensible; when he heard the report that his rare earth mine had been bombed, he could only curse a few times and dared not confront Daxia at all.
"Has Osham's legion not arrived yet? What about the troops stationed at Eastport Base? They promised to protect us, so why haven't we received any news of their deployment?"
Chief of Staff Nagasaki replied with a grim expression, "We've already contacted them, but Osama won't allow them to move out. They said everyone at the base should remain stationary until the aircraft carrier arrives."
"The shells are almost hitting my face!!" Commander Ōmura roared in fury.
"Boom!"
As luck would have it, no sooner had Commander Ōmura finished speaking than a bomb flying from the horizon exploded directly over the outskirts of Sangdu.
The explosion was deafening, and shrapnel rained down, shattering windows in nearby villages.
This is a stun grenade, which has very low lethality but a loud sound that can travel a long distance. It is often used for warning purposes.
Commander Ōmura was shocked: "How dare they? Are they going to attack civilians? Where are our troops? Send them out to stop them!!"
"Absolutely not!" Commander-in-Chief Nagasaki exclaimed hastily. "Once we send troops, the conditions for war will be met, and our country will undoubtedly lose to Great Xia!"
Commander Ōmura's face twitched, and he finally said, "We can't just let them swagger around in our country like this. We should at least send troops to confront them. Go and call back all the people who challenge the world. Also, please make sure that Takamatsu and Honma come back."
Nagasaki Chief of Staff said, "The notification has already been sent out. Judging by the time, Takamatsu and Honma should be back soon."
Commander Ōmura breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally found a pillar of support: "No one can be relied on. At this time, we still have to rely on our own people."
"Yes, you, along with General Takamatsu and General Honma, have upheld the pride of our Mulberry Country."
As the two were talking, they saw two aircraft flying in from a distance. The man and woman were both dressed in the costumes of the challenger legion of the Mulberry Tree Kingdom.
They flew swiftly from the horizon and landed directly inside the general's mansion. The people inside came forward to greet them, saying, "General Takamatsu, General Honma, you two have finally arrived. Commander Ōmura has been waiting inside for a long time."
That's right, these are the two top experts from the Mulberry Tree Kingdom.
Before the Great Xia obtained level 5 materials, at their peak, they ranked 11th and 37th respectively on the global combat power ranking.
One of them, Honma Osamu, also possessed a pseudo-divine armor, which made his combat power extremely astonishing.
Although the Great Xia's ranking has dropped due to its early breakthrough to Level 5 civilization, it has recently broken through to Sequence 5 and is currently at Level 5.
They expanded their territory and occupied new lands around the world.
With each new world that humanity ascends to, it faces a completely new "unclaimed world".
In order to provide a safe environment for the troops to rest and recuperate, the vanguard troops were tasked with the important task of building up the territory.
Later, it gradually became a matter of expanding territory and seizing every second.
The global order has long been established, with clear distinctions between nations.
But there are no borders in the challenge world. You can occupy as much land as you are capable of. The monster groups, ruins, and relics that spawn in the area you occupy are all your resources.
To avoid a chaotic war, all countries have tacitly accepted this rule.
After the ancient war, Commander Ōmura returned to Earth to recuperate and take charge of the affairs of the Mulberry Kingdom. Takamatsu and Honma, on the other hand, never left the Challenge World; in their quest for territory, they didn't even participate in the ancient war.
This is also one of the reasons why the rewards from the Mulberry Tree Kingdom are so few. The Challenge World has a thorough understanding of the strength of human challengers, and the rewards and punishments are absolutely fair.
However, including General Ōmura, everyone believed that development within the Challenge World was more important. If it weren't for the Shi Heng family incident, General Ōmura would have returned to the Challenge World yesterday to continue seizing territory.
Humanity has stayed in a Level 4 world for three years. Starting from scratch in a Level 5 world would be much more difficult. Wouldn't it take five or even ten years?
If the Mulberry Tree Kingdom can acquire a territory larger than that of the Great Xia in the Challenge World, then in the next five to ten years, the Mulberry Tree Kingdom will be able to surpass the Great Xia in the Challenge World.
Just imagining such a future is enough to give the people of Sangshu, who have been struggling to survive between major powers, a moment of pure euphoria.
Upon seeing his right-hand men return, General Ōmura excitedly rose to greet them, and then together with the two men began to curse the Great Xia for abusing its power.
They weren't thinking about whether the Shi Heng family had done the right thing or not, or whether they had initially arranged for the Shi Heng family to assassinate the genius of Da Xia. Instead, their minds were filled with the fact that Da Xia had cornered them. They felt both ashamed and angry, and they piled all their hatred onto Da Xia. They were truly united in their hatred.
The three were indeed capable of "doing great things" together; their thoughts were highly unified. After another warning bomb from Great Xia landed on the outskirts of Sangdu, amidst their surging anger, they arrogantly declared: "Legion, move out! Any country that provokes our nation, even Great Xia, must pay the price!!"
The Nagasaki Chief hesitated, his gaze sweeping over the three leaders of the Mulberry Country before finally accepting the outcome with resignation.
Compared to the three who seemed to have gained countless courage by "hugging" each other, he calmly chose to take a step back in this matter.
Chief of Nagasaki waited for the helicopter, and General Ōmura led Takamatsu and Honma onto the aircraft. Before long, they arrived at the Mulberry Challenge Legion's assembly point.
More than 20 warships from the Mulberry Tree set sail, followed by rising armed helicopters and more than 30 hand-crafted mechs purchased from Tula. The scene in the sky and on the sea was magnificent, and they arrived at the front line with considerable momentum.
"Warning to the Great Xia warships: You have entered our territorial waters. Please leave immediately. If you do not leave after this warning, we will launch an attack at any time..."
General Ōmura instructed the captain to issue a warning. Although he was not confident of victory against the Great Xia warships in front of him, the return of his right-hand men gave him the courage to stand his ground.
At least we won't lose.
Moreover, the Great Xia would not act rashly, given the increasing challenges and threats to the world at present.
In this increasingly severe situation, the Great Xia, which prides itself on being the order-makers, has always been extremely patient and restrained.
"Great Xia Legion, you have violated international peace treaties and are carrying out acts of invasion against our country. This is the second warning..."
Just then, the captain of the Great Xia warship spoke up: "The Shi Heng family of that country has repeatedly assassinated our nation's geniuses. This despicable act has been confirmed without a doubt. We have collected sufficient evidence. We request that the opposing vessel not interfere with our law enforcement efforts to apprehend the Shi Heng family."
this...
As expected, they decided to start with Shi Heng's family.
General Ōmura habitually turned to ask, "Has the Ishigami family sent anyone to handle this?"
"Commander-in-Chief Nagasaki should already have made arrangements."
"That's fine then." They still had great faith in the abilities of the Nagasaki Commander.
Little did he know that the trusted Chief of Nagasaki, before boarding the helicopter, had been thinking things over and decided that it was not a good idea. He deliberately slowed down his journey, his mind preoccupied with finding a way to escape, and had no time to think about anything else.
At that very moment, a special team from the Great Xia Dynasty landed on the island from the side, bypassing the guards along the way and rushing all the way.
When they were near the middle of the island, one group went to Shi Heng's house and the other went to the General's Mansion.
If any high-ranking challengers saw these two teams, they would surely be terrified.
Because all 30 people here are Sequence 5 powerhouses, with the current strength of the challengers, such a small team is already capable of tearing apart a legion of firearms.
Humanity's past technological capabilities are being surpassed little by little by challengers, and the proportion of extraordinary capabilities is increasing day by day.
During this time of transition, when order is at its most chaotic, loopholes in national defenses are everywhere.
The two special teams advanced without encountering any resistance and easily reached their destination!
