Chapter 21
Exploration Team Returns!
Under the watchful eyes of Li Yueming.
All the members of the Exploration Team felt a heavy pressure.
Exactly.
Just as Teacher had said.
This time, there were only two paths left for them.
If they could find a path to the Surface World for the residents of the Underground World,
Then they might leave their names in history.
But if they failed…
That was to die without a burial place.
One of these two paths led to the supreme Humans.
The other led to the most sinister and terrifying h.e.l.l.
And now…
He could only gamble.
He watched the Exploration Team leave.
Li Yueming was a little nervous.
He had already simulated the exploration plan in his mind many times.
The plan left for the members of the Exploration Team was also the best solution among the many deduction plans.
But even so…
However, he could not guarantee absolute safety.
It could only be said that if nothing unexpected happened.
In about half a month, the Exploration Team would bring back what he wanted most.
…
Just like that.
Days pa.s.sed.
During this period of time.
Li Yueming stayed in to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony for the Exploration Team.
It was different from what Li Yueming had expected.
After hearing that the Exploration Team had gone to the Surface World to explore,
The residents didn’t seem very excited.
He thought about it for a long time.
Li Yueming finally understood the reason.
In the past,
There were also many refugees underground who were unwilling to live in this dark Underground World forever.
They had also tried to find a way to the Surface World.
But in the end…
These guys did not have good endings.
Over time.
The number of explorers naturally decreased.
To the citizens of the Underground World,
The Surface World symbolized the horror of the unknown.
It was like a wild beast hiding in the darkness, waiting to devour someone.
It would tear all explorers who left the ground into pieces.
And now…
After hearing that the Alliance had sent a team of explorers to the Surface World,
Many of the inhabitants of the Underground World felt that this was an extremely stupid action.
After all, they could live a full life even if they were underground.
There was no need to abandon the good life of the moment for a little useless curiosity.
Some extremists even believed that the Surface World had nothing to do with them. The Underground World was their home.
They were certain that the Exploration Team would never return.
And Li Yueming would pay the price for his wrong decision.
Li Yueming ignored all these rumors.
He still did whatever he wanted.
He ordered the Alliance to forcefully mobilize manpower and resources.
The details of the welcoming ceremony were also finalized.
Fifteen days later.
This unprecedented victory ceremony in the Underground World was completed.
Everything was ready, just pending the return of the team.
However, everyone was looking forward to it.
However, there was still no news from the team of explorers heading to the Surface World.
In response.
Li Yueming said nothing.
He just told everyone to continue waiting.
Waiting for the heroes’ triumphant return.
Behind him.
The four-year-old Li Xiyue patted her brother’s head.
Like a little adult, she said seriously, “Brother w.a.n.g Fei and the others will definitely come back safely!”
Li Yueming smiled and said nothing.
Eighteen days later.
The Exploration Team still did not return.
This was already three days after Li Yueming’s prediction.
Although the homecoming team did not say anything,
However, rumors of the Exploration Team having been completely wiped out had already spread throughout the entire Underground World.
In response.
Li Yueming still said nothing.
However, these few nights, he would subconsciously look in the direction where the Exploration Team had left.
On the twentieth day.
Almost all the refugees who came to partic.i.p.ate in the welcoming ceremony had lost their patience.
Most of the partic.i.p.ants had already left.
Only a few patient fellows were still yawning listlessly.
Of course.
The reason why they hadn’t left yet wasn’t because of anything else.
They just wanted to see Li Yueming make a fool of himself.
After all, even in the Underground World, it was impossible for Li Yueming to be liked by everyone.
There were always people with different opinions.
They just wanted to see Li Yueming embarra.s.s himself.
Not far away.
The members of the Star Moon Alliance were still loyal.
No matter what the others thought.
As a companion.
Everyone in the Alliance was still looking forward to seeing the Exploration Team return triumphantly.
However, when the Exploration Team went to the surface, they only brought enough rations to last 20 days.
Twenty days had pa.s.sed.
Logically speaking, the rations carried by the team should have been exhausted.
If they still haven’t returned…
Then it was very likely that they would never return!
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Time pa.s.sed.
Finally.
It was almost evening.
Blood-stained figures appeared in the distance.
Everyone looked over.
Only then did they realize that the Exploration Team had really returned!!!
Splash!
Everyone became excited.
Many of them even wiped their eyes repeatedly.
After confirming that they were not mistaken,
Instantly.
The entire Underground World was in an uproar!
“The latest news is that Explorer 001 has really returned!”
“d.a.m.n, is this for real?”
“It’s absolutely true. Many people saw it with their own eyes!”
“Everyone, let’s hurry to the Alliance’s headquarters. If we’re late, there won’t be any seats left!”
The news was like a prairie fire.
It instantly ignited the emotions of all the refugees in the Underground World.
Countless refugees who were about to sleep did not even have time to put on their shoes.
Scrambling out of the rooms barefoot.
After decades.
The Underground World finally stepped onto the Surface World again.
Most importantly…
The members of the Exploration Team even returned alive.
No matter how stupid these refugees were, they knew what this information meant.
“Do we really have a chance to return to the Surface World now?”
“I don’t know if we’ll have a chance to return to the Surface World, but at least our future development won’t be limited to the Underground World!”
“In the past, there were so many things that our ancestors couldn’t do, but the Alliance only took a few years to do it…”
“What does this mean? It only means, all hail the Son of G.o.d!!!”
…
Star Moon Alliance Headquarters.
At this moment, the entire Alliance was brightly lit.
The crowd looked at the bloodstained youths in the fire.
It was as if sizing up the new humans of the new century!!!
When the Exploration Team went, there were a total of 28 members.
At this moment, there were only eighteen left.
w.a.n.g Fei, who led the team, was slightly injured. He staggered and was carried back by Zhou Wuhai.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process,
However, the overall outcome still met Li Yueming’s expectations.
The Exploration Team successfully brought back what he wanted.
He was secretly escorted to the deepest cell of the Alliance Headquarters.
Of course, these could be put aside for the time being.
The most important thing now was to complete the welcoming ceremony for the Exploration Team!
On the high platform.
The surviving team members lined up.
At their feet.
Thousands of refugees huddled together, all of them looking excited.
Li Yueming’s gaze slowly swept across the faces of the team members.
He took a deep breath and said, “Tonight, all the humans here will remember you and the warriors who sacrificed for us! You are the heroes of all the Humans in the Underground World!”
Below the stage.
The refugees’ cheers sounded almost at the same time. “Welcome back, heroes!”
At this moment.
Everyone’s shouts came from the bottom of their hearts.
There was no falsehood or coercion!
