Chapter 62 I will protect you!

In the early morning, in the remote wilderness outside Yacheng.

The night is dark, the moon is dark and the wind is strong.

A temporary barbed wire fence and a no-entry sign were erected between the hills that were supposed to be sparsely populated.

The newly-built sentry tower could be vaguely seen, and the cold searchlight swept through the grass and trees.

The place is heavily guarded like a military restricted area, but there is no base inside. Instead, it is empty and overgrown with weeds, with only vehicles from all over parked in a messy manner on the open space.

Faintly, there is a crack surrounding the center.

It was like a crack in the void, the winding and wriggling crack was suspended in mid-air, and no matter from which direction you looked, it seemed to be facing it.

Faintly, a light shines from behind the cracks.

The phenomenon of overlapping rifts is gradually intensifying.

In a few hours, I'm afraid the passage will be officially opened.

Because of this, the tension gradually grew in this not-so-large camp. If the security bureau hadn't been there to supervise, two groups of people might have already started fighting.

No matter where you go, people tend to stick together.

In just over a day, the news that the Rift was about to open spread like wildfire, and after receiving the news, the chosen ones who came to seek blessings or wealth also gathered.

Every intersection of the rifts is a grand event and an opportunity for advancement for the wild chosen ones, and not many are willing to let it go easily.

There were even people who came from outside Haizhou, rushing and dusty.

Just for a mouthful of soup!
For the Security Bureau, the location of this rift is a bit of a pain in the ass... If it moves a few dozen kilometers to the east, west, south, or north, there will be a clear division of rights and responsibilities. But now, it is stuck at the border of two states, between Yacheng, Chaocheng, and Yecheng, with no where to go.

Moreover, it was only a temporary intersection with a limited lifespan, so it was not worth investing in. Due to the reasons in the Quancheng Grotto, manpower was also stretched to the limit. With all parties shirking responsibility, there were only three or four people to supervise, and the division of responsibilities was not clear. Everyone simply passed the buck, and it was considered a success as long as there was no fighting under their noses.

As for what happens after entering...it all depends on your ability.

As time went by, the crowd grew larger and larger.

At the front, close to the rift, the first to occupy an advantageous position was the convoy from Chaocheng. In the RV, Kong Qingyan's eyes swept through the crowd.

A middle-aged man with messy hair wrapped in a blanket like a homeless person, a burly man with an ordinary bronze complexion, a charming woman whose good looks attracted countless people's attention, and finally looked at an off-road vehicle covered with mud.

In the driver's seat, the white-haired old woman calmly leaned her elbows on the window, glancing at the chaos in the field. Noticing Kong Qingyan's gaze, she casually took off her felt hat and nodded.

Kong Qingyan withdrew his gaze.

"There are too many people who are hard to tell the details of this time." Kong Qingyan looked at Lou Feng beside him and said, "After you go in, be careful and follow Mr. Silan's instructions. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Lou Feng nodded respectfully and looked at the bearded man beside him: "I'll rely on you later, Mr. Silan."

"Haha, that's not true." The middle-aged man, who seemed to have been through a lot of sun, touched his chest and saluted: "Please rest assured, Mr. Lou, the Homecoming Knights will serve you and guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

Behind him, a dozen solemn-looking, fully-armed figures stood with their hands behind their backs, their exposed skin covered with scars.

This rift realm does not allow the Chosen Ones above the Transformation level to enter, so Kong Qingyan can only wait outside. In order to ensure Lou Feng's safety and the success of this excavation, she hired the Homecoming Knights of the Red Kingdom of Middle-earth to escort them.

These wandering knights loyal to the Red King are all large groups of followers, integrated into one by a unified matrix and the call of the higher powers. When they are prepared, they feel no pressure even when facing enemies and monsters that far outnumber them. They are veritable war machines.

Lou Feng smiled and was about to say something, but his smile suddenly froze, and a hint of paleness appeared. He suddenly turned back alertly: "What's that sound?"

For a moment, the returning knights looked at each other, and Slan listened harshly, but apart from the noisy and boisterous quarrels in the wind, there was nothing unusual.

If I have to say something, it’s just the faint sound of...thumping approaching?

Wait, Tu Tu?
Lou Feng's heart suddenly became anxious.

Chug tug tug tug——

At the outermost checkpoint, a small motorcycle that looked messy came rumbling in, rolling over the dirt road and spewing black smoke.

"It should be here, right?"

The young man riding the motorcycle in front lifted the visor of his helmet and looked around curiously.

He revealed a face that made Lou Feng furious, and his heart finally died.

Ji Jue!

Not only Lou Feng, in fact, many people have already noticed this latecomer who has a completely different style from everyone else. Everyone goes out in off-road vehicles and luxury cars, the more powerful ones take airships, and the less powerful ones get a small van, which is at least durable and can carry a lot of things.

You were the only one riding a black motorcycle that seemed to be picking up passengers in front of the train station. You climbed over the mountains and waded through water. It was okay that you were covered in mud, but you didn't even mind the pain on your butt!

Moreover, there were large and small bags in their hands and on their backs in the car.

It wouldn't be surprising even if he started selling instant noodles with a kettle in hand the next moment - some people even had a belated look of enlightenment in their eyes after seeing it.

Right! It's still unknown how long it will take for the world to open. So many people are standing here, don't they have needs? We are all the chosen ones who are not short of money. I don't know how much we can earn by setting up a stall here. At least it's not a wasted trip, right?
Some of the chosen ones were still holding their wallets and planning to ask him about his business projects later, while others were already planning where to buy a cart next time...

“Wow, there are so many people.”

The person behind Ji Jue took off his helmet, poked his head out, revealing his pretty and childish face, and looked around curiously: "Except for the meetings at home when I was a child, I have never seen so many Chosen Ones gathered together."

He was actually a member of the Beishan Group of the Yacheng Security Bureau.

safely!

In the entire Beishan Group, he is the only one who needs the Boundary Rift.

Old Zhang is so old now and has long lost his former ambition. Now he just lives out his days in the Security Bureau. In the Second Operations Department, which is responsible for public security, he uses his fists to reason with those ignorant people.

As for Miss Tong Hua, although she looks crazy, she is the fourth daughter of the Tong family after all. In Yacheng, the Tong family is half the sky, and every move will shake three times. Since she was born, she is not worthy of holding a golden spoon in her mouth. And her brother Tong Shan is the director of the first action department of the Yacheng Security Bureau, responsible for the safety of all important people.

If he really wants to invest, he must be an absolute rich boss. I don't know how many people are vying to be his bodyguard. Why would he compete with others for food in such a place?
Besides, Wen Wen was relieved that Ji Jue and An Ran were teaming up to do the dungeon dungeon.

Although An Ran never made any mistakes at work and could complete any task successfully, due to the environment he grew up in, this child's brain is always lacking in common sense and he doesn't like going to school. Unlike Ji Jue, whether he can fight is another matter, but he has been in the mud since he was a child, and he has seen a lot, so he has a lot of tricks.

Putting the two together, they complement each other.

Although An Ran is the chosen one of the White Deer Way, she doesn't have any strange temper. She is gentle and quiet, just like a pot of plastic flowers, well-behaved and obedient.

Along the way, Ji Jue sometimes even ignored this younger brother who looked very much like the little sister. Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he had already reached the fifth level and entered the transformation stage. He was a powerful master who could beat several of his own with one hand.

At this moment, after looking around, An Ran suddenly reached out and gently pulled his sleeve, reminding: "Brother Ji Jue, someone is watching us, and seems to be planning something bad..."

Ji Jue followed his gaze and immediately saw Young Master Lou, who stood out from the crowd with an extraordinary appearance. After looking at each other for a moment, Lou Feng's face turned pale and he looked away.

"Ah, maybe he has a grudge against me..." Ji Jue scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, Xiao An, for involving you."

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

An Ran nodded and promised solemnly: "Brother Ji Jue, I will protect you!"

Ah, this thoughtful and heartwarming concern and reassuring assurance, Ji Jue was so moved that his tears were about to fall: "Thank you very much."

However, after riding the motorcycle a little further forward, he could feel the gazes from all directions: vigilant, cold, or perhaps full of malice.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Why were so many people looking at me with such vicious eyes? Did I do something unscrupulous?

That's not right, today is my first time leaving the Novice Village, okay? !

I haven't completed any tasks yet, why does it seem like my faction reputation is almost gone?

Could it be that the living environment outside and the relationship between the chosen ones are so bad?
"Be careful, Xiao An." Ji Jue said softly, "It seems that many people are watching us."

"Ah, maybe they have a grudge against me."

The young man in the back seat, who was carrying a lot of bags, answered obediently, "It seems I blinded the eyes of the man in front of me before...

The guy over there seems to be a colleague from Lihua District. He laughed at me for being effeminate before, and after being beaten up by Sister Wen, he stayed in the hospital for half a year. Later, I accidentally stabbed him. And the guy behind, his brother seemed to be killed by me. He ran so fast at that time that I couldn't catch up. What a pity. After entering the Rift Realm, let's see if there is any chance...

It's okay, don't be afraid!"

The boy's face was full of seriousness, and he assured again: "Brother Ji Jue, I will protect you!"

Ji Jue's expression twitched for several times, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

This sentence is exactly the same as before, why can't I be moved at all!!!
It seems like you are more capable of attracting hatred than I am?

He really wanted to turn around, clasp his hands together, and ask who Brother An Ran was.

But when he thought of the An family background that Wen Wen introduced to him, he suddenly felt that everything was fine.

Where are we now...
