As the battle came to an end, the clean-up work began. The monster army outside the city had a total of nearly 500,000 people. They surrounded the city from all sides and then concentrated on the east side to break through. However, Ye Chen rushed out and slaughtered them all. Only a small number of them escaped. They were scared out of their wits and never dared to enter the forbidden area again!
On the wide battlefield, there were at least 400,000 corpses!
The sky was dyed red with blood, and the dark clouds were as dark as ink. Following the end of the war, the weather that was about to rain gradually calmed down. It was as if a gust of wind that came from nowhere had swept away the dense dark clouds.
A faint yellow light shone down from the dark clouds and sprinkled on the mountain of corpses on the battlefield. All the warriors who were fighting the monsters felt extremely comfortable and bathed in the setting sun.
Ye Chen stood on the city wall, his body trembling slightly. Intense tiredness flooded his body like a tide. His face was extremely ugly. Fortunately, it was covered by the mask.
Who could see through the weakness under the cold mask?
Who could notice the slight trembling of his body?
He couldn't wait to fall down and sleep. However, he didn't dare to show his weakness because he knew that there was a group of people like wolves and tigers watching from afar. Once he showed his weak side, these people would immediately be attracted by the corpses of the monsters and desperately rush over to snatch them!
After the excitement of the battle, everyone gradually recovered and calmed down.
After the initial excitement, the people in China Base City saw the countless corpses of the monsters on the screen being transported into the base city. They were a little greedy. If they could use all of these corpses, how much wealth would it be?
However, when they saw the stalwart figure on the city wall, everyone dispelled the thought in their hearts.
There was a kind of person who just stood there, even if they didn't hurt others, they would still be feared. Ye Chen was such a person.
Therefore, no one had the courage to organize a team to snatch the corpses. After all, there were 20,000 black battalion soldiers in Guang Ming Base City. Moreover, from here to Shennongjia, it would take at least a day's journey. Unless it was an elite team, they could only rush over directly.
When Guang Ming Base City was facing the most dangerous situation, everyone thought of the long journey ahead. They sighed and prayed silently. Praying for their fellow human beings was also praying for themselves.
All living things were like ants, and ants were social animals. It was difficult for them to live alone, but wasn't it the same for humans?
Now, seeing so many monster corpses being dragged away, they felt as if their hearts were bleeding. They were envious, jealous, and hateful. Their minds worked faster than ever. They wished they could have an epiphany and think of a time tunnel that would take them to Guang Ming Base City immediately.
It could be seen that between interests and feelings, interests still prevailed.
Guangming Base City.
Everyone shouted as they carried the bodies of the monsters into the city. Due to the initial construction, the base city was not large. It could only accommodate 500,000 people at most. The original plan was to wait until the defense of the city was successful before expanding the area. In comparison, building the city walls would only take a few days for the hundreds of thousands of workers.
As the corpses of the Devil Birds and other monsters were moved in, many of the originally built houses were demolished to avoid taking up space.
It took a lot of effort to build them, but now that they were being demolished, no one felt the slightest bit of heartache. Instead, they were quite happy.
As a large number of buildings were demolished, more space was left to pile up monster corpses. The work of moving these corpses was handed over to Xu Tianguo and Huang Tianci, as well as many elders and hall masters below to supervise. Although they were all injured, they were full of excitement as they commanded. It was as if they could fight for three days and three nights.
Ye Chen knew that there was the blood and smell of the Purple Scale Jiao Dragon here. Those monsters with spiritual intelligence could smell danger from it and would not easily invade in a short period of time. As for those monsters without spiritual intelligence, they were not afraid of them. Without spiritual intelligence, their strength was too weak, and they were simply meat on a platter.
Therefore, seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ye Chen turned around and walked into the city. He did not look at anyone else, nor did he say a word. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his whole body would give up and he would collapse.
Ye Zhu, White Dragon, and the others looked at him strangely and immediately found that his walking posture was not quite the same as usual. Only those who had been with him for a long time and cared about him would notice this detail.
Therefore, they saw the abnormality, but no one asked. They looked at each other and silently followed behind Ye Chen. They were not too close nor too far, just enough to support him in time when he fell.
As the group of heroes entered the city, all the people who were carrying the corpses of the monsters stopped. Their eyes were full of awe and respect.
Many children, women, old women, and old men rushed over from the nearby buildings. They stood on both sides of the city and applauded to welcome them, shouting the words "President". It was a pity that there were no delicate things like fresh flowers. Otherwise, the city would be filled with little flowers.
Ye Chen was in the lead, and White Dragon and the others stood behind him. Further behind were some injured elders who were supported by others. They looked at the weak people who could not kill the monsters on both sides of the city. They saw the sincere gratitude, reverence, respect, and love in their eyes. They felt that the wounds on their bodies had become glory!
Therefore, although they were crying in pain in their hearts, they put on silly smiles on their faces. Some of them even waved their hands to greet the people who were so cute at this moment.
Ye Chen just walked silently. He only wanted to walk faster. He only wanted the hidden cameras to disappear. He did not want to and could not show his weak side. Otherwise, it would be a fatal crisis!
Although he walked silently, the gazes of the people on both sides of him were as high as 99.9%. The fanaticism in their eyes was indescribable. Suddenly, a 16 or 17 year old girl who had gathered all her courage ran out of the crowd. She held a bunch of weeds in her hands and came to Ye Chen. Her face was covered in tears. Her voice was choked with sobs and she said timidly, "President, President, thank you!" As she said that, she handed the only weeds in her hands to Ye Chen.
It was very funny, but no one laughed.
Ye Chen paused slightly. He raised his head and seemed to look at her. He stretched out his blood-stained hand. Of course, the blood was not his, but it stuck to his hand and could not be shaken off. He held the bunch of weeds and said with his usual indifferent voice under the mask, "It's nothing."
Then, he brushed past her.
He seemed to have brushed past many women in his life, so he did not ask for the girl's name.
The girl's eyes were filled with joy. She turned around and saw a satisfied person covered in blood. It was as if he had walked out of a pool of blood. Walking on this road, it was as if he was walking in his own world. There was no one in front of him.
Her tears flowed down. She muttered in a trembling voice, "If it wasn't for you, my mother would have died. Now, I finally have a place to stay … …"
Then, she saw the people behind the man walk up. Among them, there was a rather handsome man covered in blood. His face was incomparably pale. He seemed to be smiling at her. She thought it was an illusion. When she looked carefully, that person had already walked away. She followed behind the man and kept walking … …
Cheers and voices of adoration drifted into Ye Chen's ears, but they seemed to be mere worldly possessions. He didn't seem to need them. At this moment, all he wanted was a big bed, a good night's sleep, and a full meal. That would be the greatest satisfaction!
As the head of a guild, he could still find a bed. So he ignored everyone and lay down on the bed to sleep. This sleep was very good, very deep, very dead. It was as if all his fatigue had been removed. Because he knew that there would be many people guarding outside the door. Among them was his most trusted sister.
So he slept very peacefully.
Until … …
"Lazy bum, wake up."
A familiar and pleasant voice always woke him up a moment before he was about to wake up naturally. It was playful and gentle.
Ye Chen seemed to go back in time in an instant. He returned to the happy times when he was still studying. He did not open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curved up. He ignored it.
Very quickly, a small hand reached over and pinched his nose. There was even a sly teasing smile. So he could only be even more cunning and open his mouth to breathe.
That small hand quickly retracted. A tender voice said, "Hurry up and get up. Otherwise, there won't be any food."
She said that there was no food, but in fact, she had already brought the food over and placed it in front of Ye Chen. That enticing aroma of meat drifted into his nose. Ye Chen had naturally smelled it long ago. But after she finished speaking, he stretched lazily and sat up leisurely. When he opened his eyes, a delicate and pretty face appeared in front of him. There was a sly smile in her eyes.
Ye Chen looked at the sky outside and said with a smile, "Looks like I slept for quite a long time."
Ye Zhu giggled and said, "Seeing that you worked so hard, I will generously forgive you. You only slept for two days. I heard that your snoring gradually stopped, so I knew that you must be hungry. Hurry up and eat. I made it myself. Don't leave any behind!"
Ye Chen said, "Yes!
I will follow your orders! "
Ye Zhu giggled like a flower and said, "Hurry up and eat. Xu Tianguo is still waiting for you to deal with the monster's corpse. He saw that you were sleeping for the past two days, so he didn't dare disturb you."
If White Dragon and the others saw Ye Chen's current appearance, their jaws would probably drop. There was no trace of Ye Chen's usual cold demeanor. It was as if this man would only reveal a trace of a smile in front of her.
Ye Chen took off his cold mask and quickly finished the two pieces of barbecued meat. There was no need for something as immoral as chopsticks. It was most convenient to use his hands.
After he finished eating, he put on his mask again and left the house with Ye Zhu. They walked towards the main hall in the center of the base. Along the way, when people saw Ye Chen, they all looked at him in awe and made way for him.
It was not fear, but complete respect!
