"Nannuan, let's go get some ice cream first, shall we?" Nangong Yu picked up Lin Nuan and immediately took the lead.
Originally, the mountains had been strictly monitored over the past two years, leaving no apparent opportunity, but heaven never closes all doors. This year, the mountain snow fell early, and wild beasts ruined the cornfield, so the village chief agreed to a collective mountain hunt, making squinting Zhou feel that his chance had come.
Jiang Chen did not dare say much, guiding him toward Sima Lun's courtyard. At the entrance, a guard reached out to stop him and let Chen Fang in instead. Chen Fang paid no attention to Jiang Chen, not even sparing him a glance, and hurried straight into the courtyard.
"Brother, um, how about..." His own brother's attitude made Gu Chen so embarrassed he felt like curling his toes inside his shoes, yet he dared not do anything, so he could only try his best to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Lin Xi got off work promptly at six. According to the mobile app, the shared bicycle stopped being available at 6:15 PM, and the route could be tracked: a straight line all the way from the office to home with no turns along the way.
Marilyn's expression also suddenly turned solemn. Vita no longer frowned; instead, his entire face was hidden in the shadows, revealing a deep bitterness.
Thinking of this, the facts could not be clearer: enemies had entered Maoling and had already exchanged fire with the guards, though it remained unclear whether the intruders were enemy agents or bandits.
Among them, Jiang Yu spotted Weiss, who had just finished surgery. He, too, was wearing a somewhat ill-fitting hat and dressed in a standard-issue white lab coat.
Yet he never expected that Wang Zhen had already integrated seamlessly into the opposing team, sitting beside the director and watching the monitor with great delight.
The fishing rods in the Men's Wear specialty store were crafted from the latest grade of steel produced by the Carnegie-Reem Steel Company. This steel offered high resilience and tensile strength while remaining completely rust-free, making it an essential tool for all fishing enthusiasts. Currently, only the Men's Wear specialty store could provide such fishing rods anywhere in the world.
Before taking on the trial production task for the DP-27 light machine gun barrel, he and Bai Yu had already successfully replicated the barrel of a Mauser C96 handgun. Upon inspection, a Mauser fitted with the cold-forged replica barrel saw its service life surge dramatically from the original 3,000 rounds to 12,000 rounds.
Another day passed, and Yue Ming woke up early as usual, while Wei Renzhuo still slumbered deeply in his room.
Just as Ai Si and Ai Hengyu each breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the future held hope once again, Ai Mu did not find the situation nearly so relaxing.
However, the Third Young Master had lowered his voice deliberately, so even though Murong pricked up his ears, he ultimately failed to hear anything.

Forget it. If Yin Gezhi was unwilling to speak, burning this place down indeed served no purpose. Rather than asking, he might as well find out for himself.
"You're overthinking it, though. Finding you takes no time at all." A voice echoed from afar—it was Wei Renzhuo.
Lingshu and Guanzhi, watching from behind, shook their heads repeatedly, thinking how utterly shameless these two were becoming. In broad daylight, with people all around—could they please mind their decorum a little?
Fengyue felt extremely exhausted. Initially, she could still hear some chaotic noises, but soon she heard nothing at all, plunging completely into darkness.
Not far ahead lay a line; crossing that very line meant successfully reaching the summit!
The terrifying fist of the Supreme Dharma Form slammed into the giant web, sending layer upon layer of ripples outward, yet failing to pierce through the web by any means.
Damn it! Xiong Qi broke out in a cold sweat instantly and hurriedly stopped to check, only to find one of the robots smashed to pieces, with metallic components scattered everywhere.
"Where did this wine come from?" Qingxiao swallowed hard. If his eyes did not deceive him, this was the exclusive Spirit Cicada Dew of the Spirit-Communicating Clan. This wine was brewed from the dewdrops exuding from the wings of a rare spirit insect, combined with auxiliary spiritual fruits, and required thirty-three years to mature.
The 119th Brigade, already constructing fortifications in Tucheng, received orders: the brigade headquarters and the 239th Regiment were to hold Tucheng and remain vigilant against Japanese movements toward Chaoyang and Yixian, while the other two regiments and the brigade-direct units were to pack up and stand by, preparing to move toward Haladaokou, Poluoshuo, and other locations to seek out and annihilate the enemy.
Chen Hua turned his head away and ignored him entirely. His authority as vice mayor having been challenged, he flew into a rage. Coupled with the municipal public security director constantly fanning the flames beside him, the vice mayor directly erupted.
"What's wrong?" Lilina asked in confusion, assuming Xiong Qi felt too shy under the gaze of so many people.
Xue Linghe pressed his advantage, transforming his body into a stream of blood that rushed forward rapidly. He absorbed those scattered dots of blood before him, condensing countless sharp blood arrows that enveloped the man.
There was no time to worry about that now; this was the only breakthrough route left. Hopefully, Li Ming and the others could hold out.
Although Niu Dacheng very much wanted to invite Wang Kai into the Zijing eSports Team, he respected Wang Kai's choice and held a deep admiration for him.

Old Liu Er still grabbed Wang Xingxin and gave him a severe beating, though simply to avoid delaying the army's departure the day after tomorrow, he beat him just enough to leave him covered in bumps like a living Buddha, with swollen lumps all over his head resembling the descent of a deity.
Li Si frowned, never anticipating such a turn of events. It far exceeded their imagination and left them all the more astonished.
The old Daoist priest glanced contemptuously at Ziyun; he simply did not take a mere one-star superpower user seriously at all.
Was I really not supposed to hold any expectations for you either? Being a polar bear, you got captured just like that? Are sweets really that delicious? Does every bear inevitably share this preset setting of loving honey?
Inside the Firefly Bar, Kasugano Jinhao took the bass handed over to him by Sode Mai, downed two more bottles of beer with Ichikata Jiya, and fell silent.
If the young people had been present, they might have stepped out to block the way, but with no youths around, Lin Xi gained a brief moment of breathing room. The pursuing personnel were about to arrive in their vehicles, making it desperately urgent for Lin Xi to escape the market area.
Along the way, whenever sentries and patrolling soldiers questioned him, Yu Genshan replied that he was going to inspect the posts at the northern entrance of the village.
Earlier, despite facing danger several times while accompanying Lu Ping, everything had turned out safe and sound, and looking back, it had been thrilling and exciting.
This glowing orb gave off a shimmering light, yet it failed to illuminate even an inch of the surroundings. Even the seven bone demons standing close at hand were invisible to Hai Ping, who could only see millions of low-tier demonic beasts existing within the void space inside the glowing orb.
As for this proud bird, he wanted it to attack, wanted it to throw its all into attacking the soul-entangling white bear—even a life-or-death struggle—to seize the initiative on the battlefield. Thinking thus, the handsome bird instead turned its head back, staring with dissatisfaction at Nangong Changyun, its intention glaringly obvious.
Qin Yan activated his limbs while stepping onto the court; an offensive surge was about to begin, so warming up a bit was a good idea.
